"Dear player, welcome to the Metaverse. I am the Metaverse Sprite - Mengbao."

"The Metaverse will officially open in 1 hour. Please wait patiently. In the meantime, you can create your character."

As soon as the little elf finished speaking, seven figures appeared in the air.

These seven figures, each with a different form, floated gracefully in front of Wang Ming.

"Is this the Yuan Domain?" Looking at the scene before him, which resembled a celestial realm, and the seven towering figures, Wang Ming was deeply shocked.

Wang Ming was a true playboy, relying on his family's wealth and being utterly ignorant and incompetent.

Three years ago, Wang Ming was driving his sports car at high speed when he crashed into a stone pillar by the roadside, leaving him in a vegetative state.

In an effort to cure Wang Ming, his parents spent all their savings and searched everywhere for renowned doctors, but the results were disappointing.

Reluctantly, Wang Ming's parents finally heeded the doctor's advice and allowed Wang Ming to enter the game - Metaverse.

Metaverse is an ideological game. The doctor's idea is to let Wang Ming enter this game to stimulate his consciousness, which might give him a chance to awaken.

Although Wang Ming's parents found it absurd, they agreed to it, adhering to the principle of not giving up as long as there was a glimmer of hope, and even bought Wang Ming the most advanced gaming pod.

This top-of-the-line gaming pod costs as much as 5 million Chinese Yuan.

The top-grade nutrient solution used costs 500,000 Chinese Yuan per vial and needs to be replaced once a month.

However, the higher price has its advantages; with this configuration, players can stay online for a month without any problems.

"5.5 million Chinese Yuan, Dad is really generous."

"Dear player, the Metaverse will officially open in 1 hour. During this period, you can create your character first."

Seeing that Wang Ming did not react, the winged elf spoke again.

"You're a cute baby, right? Why don't you introduce these professions first?"

Wang Ming had played many games before, but no matter what kind of game it was, at most it had a system with no emotion to guide it. This was the first time he had encountered a talking 3D sprite.

"Okay, player, the adorable baby will introduce each profession to you one by one."

With a wave of his hand, the little sprite summoned a male character wearing chainmail and wielding a longsword to Wang Ming's far left.

Spirit Swordsman (Swordsman)

Affiliated Sect: Sword Cloud Sect

Skilled in various sword techniques, they are a melee physical attack class.

"Dear player, you can try selecting this character first and experience the charm of the Blademaster."

"How to choose?"

"You only need to silently say in your heart that you want to choose this profession."

Wang Ming silently chanted "Spirit Swordsman" in his mind, and immediately felt himself merge with the Spirit Swordsman model in front of him. Then, Wang Ming took a few steps and waved the long sword in his hand, just as if he were wielding it in reality.

Wang Ming was somewhat excited; this real feeling made him feel as if he had awakened from his vegetative state.

After experiencing it for a while, Wang Ming exited the Spirit Swordsman state and then experienced the other six professions one by one.

...

Having experienced the unique charm of each profession, Wang Ming was somewhat excited, but he was still a little confused about the spiritual root required for each profession.

"Sweetie, why does every profession require a certain spiritual root? What does this spiritual root mean?"

"Dear players, spiritual roots are a necessary condition for players to choose a profession, and they are divided into two main categories."

"One type is the basic five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water."

"The other type is mutated spiritual roots: light, darkness, wind, lightning, rock, and ice."

"As long as you possess one of the basic spiritual roots, you can choose the corresponding profession."

"If you possess a mutated spiritual root, you can accept a special job change quest during your first job change. After successfully completing the quest, you can become a hidden job."

"For example, if you have a metal-type spiritual root, you can choose any one of the following professions: Spirit Swordsman, Heavenly Feather Archer, or Ghost Dancer."

"For example, if you have a dark attribute spiritual root, you can choose the Ghost Dancer class and accept an exclusive job change quest when you reach level 10. After successfully completing the quest, you will change to a hidden class in the Ghost Dancer series."

"So that's how it is. If I don't have any spiritual roots, then I can't play the game."

"Dear player, this is impossible. Spiritual roots are innate. Throughout human history, every human individual has possessed at least one spiritual root."

"Okay, let's start choosing a career. What do I need to do?"

"Dear player, first we need to test your spiritual root. Please stand still while I test your spiritual root."

"Okay, hopefully I'll get a mutated spiritual root, then I'll have a chance to change to a hidden class." Wang Ming stood there, while the little sprite-cute muttered something and then pointed at Wang Ming.

A star formation instantly appeared beneath Wang Ming's feet.

Immediately afterwards, various lights, including cyan, red, yellow, and white, shot into the sky one after another.

Wang Ming counted them carefully; there were 11 different kinds of light in total.

"My goodness! Dear player, you actually possess spiritual roots of all attributes. That's truly an eye-opener."

Wang Ming curled his lip. You're at most an artificial intelligence, yet you claim to have broadened your horizons. But possessing all-attribute spiritual roots, does that mean...?

"My darling, I have spiritual roots of all attributes. Does that mean I can choose any profession? And I even have the opportunity to change to the hidden profession I want."

"Dear player, please select your class."

"Haha, a hidden class that can be freely chosen, I need to think about that carefully."

“Support, heal, and tank are not very interesting, so should I choose marksman, assassin, swordsman, or mage?” Wang Ming was a little conflicted, but finally decided to switch to spirit swordsman.

"I choose..." Before Wang Ming could finish speaking, the 11 kinds of light surrounding him suddenly spun rapidly, then twisted together and converged into one.

The ball of light emitted an unusual glow, appearing somewhat murky yet unusually bright, which was quite contradictory.

"My God, a Chaos Spiritual Root!" The little elf also noticed the change in the spiritual root and exclaimed again.

"Chaotic Spiritual Root, what kind of spiritual root is this?" Although Wang Ming didn't know what it was, he knew from the name that this spiritual root was extraordinary.

"Dear player, the Chaos Spiritual Root is innate and is the number one spiritual root in the Yuan Domain. But why does your spiritual root seem to be formed later in life?"

The adorable little elf was also a bit confused at this moment.

Upon hearing the elf's words, Wang Ming's eyes lit up.

Wang Ming didn't understand the concepts of innate and acquired, but he was very interested in another term the little elf used—the first spiritual root!

"Sweetie, since this Chaos Spiritual Root is the number one spiritual root, is it very powerful? Can it also be used to change to a hidden profession?"

"Hehe, yes, those who possess the Chaos Spiritual Root can not only change to a hidden class, but they are also the only type of hidden class."

"In addition, this only hidden class can now be selected directly."

"Dear player, would you like to choose this class?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Just kidding. The only hidden job that you can get right away. Only an idiot would choose not to.

"Hehe, dear player, I'll select this class for you now."

Just as the adorable little elf finished speaking, Wang Ming heard a system notification.

"System notification: Dear player, you have become the only hidden class - Chaos Fist Master (Apprentice)."
