Chapter 9: Uncertain Shadow
There is no concept of time in the settlement space.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Lin woke up from his deep sleep, and the reminder sound in his ears rang again.
【Job transfer completed.】
[Please open the property panel to view more details. ]
He stretched and felt refreshed, but there were no further changes.
Changing his job didn't seem to improve Xia Lin's attributes, and even the temporary buff from the previous Jhin zone was gone. He turned back into an ordinary handsome guy with 6 points in strength, agility and body...
The good news: He can be human again.
The bad news: As a human, he is weak.
Following the prompts from the Jhin zone, Xia Lin opened the attribute panel, and his personal attributes came into view.
【Name: Xia Lin】
[Level: 1]
[Occupation: Uncertain Shadow]
[Professional Talent 1: Uncertain Constant (S-level Talent): There are constants in the midst of change, just like the constants in mathematics.
Uncertain constants provide Uncertain Shadow with three additional constant skill slots. Skills placed in the constant slots (whether normal skills or mutated skills) will not continue to mutate and will not be observed by any skills.
You can replace the skills in the constant column in the settlement space before each ember zone starts and after the ember zone ends. 】
[Professional Talent 2: Unstable Mutation (SSS-level talent) (Individual talent converted to professional talent) (Talent upgraded due to job transfer stimulation). ]
[Unstable Mutation: When you gain a skill and every time you enter the ember zone, all your skills that are not placed in the constant skill bar will undergo random mutations. The buffs you receive will also undergo random mutations.
But you can choose whether to keep the mutation effect. If you choose no, the skills and buffs will not mutate. 】
【Basic Attributes:】
[Strength: 6]
【Constitution: 6】
[Agility: 6]
[Spirit: 10]
[Constant skill column: 3]
[Current Skills: 0]
[Normal skill column: 1]
[Current Skills: 0]
[Note: Every time you level up, you gain a common skill column.]
Xia Lin sighed softly.
No skills...
Until the system prompt sound sounds again.
【Congratulations on your job change to Uncertain Shadow. 】
[When a Cinder Walker completes his job change, he will randomly gain 1-3 job-related skills (S-level and below). ]
[The Uncertain Shadow profession has no relevant professional skills at S level or below, so it is randomly selected...]
【Draw completed! 】
【You gain three skills. 】
What does it mean to have good news from heaven? What does it mean to have a silver lining after all the darkness?
And he directly drew the highest number, 3! Xia Lin's eyes widened, and even his breathing slowed down.
Until three capital Fs came into view.
[You obtain the skill: Backstab (F-level skill): Passive skill. Attacks launched from behind increase damage.]
[You obtain the skill: Slow Footsteps (F-level skill): Passive skill. Your footsteps become quieter and your movement speed increases slightly.]
[You obtain the skill: Nourish (F-level skill): Active skill. Consumes 1 point of spirit. After activation, it can nourish a single target, relieve fatigue, heal minor injuries, and cure minor diseases. This skill has no cooldown time.]
Xia Lin's smile froze on his face.
Good news: He actually drew three skills.
Bad news: All three skills are the lowest level F-level skills.
"So, what's the point of creating an F-level in your Jhin zone?"
Look at these three great skills...
Backstab and Slow Footsteps are more like techniques than skills.
As for the moisturizing effect, it does require some skill... but I guess the effect is roughly equivalent to Red Bull + antibiotics + Yunnan Baiyao.
Xia Lin had just finished complaining when a bright light suddenly flashed in front of him.
Three spherical crystals appeared out of thin air in front of Xia Lin.
[Your normal skill slots are insufficient, so skills are issued in the form of skill crystals. ]
Skill crystallization is the materialization of skills.
As long as there is a free skill slot, you can automatically master the skill after crushing the skill crystal.
Xia Lin shook his head and picked up a skill crystal.
[You have learned the skill: Nourish (F-level skill). ]
The Nourish skill appears in the regular skill column.
Then, a faint light flashed on the skill description, and the unstable mutation took effect! [Your skill: Nourish (F-level skill), mutated to Extreme Nourish (Mutation).]
[Extreme Nourishment (Mutation): Active skill. Consume 4 points of spirit, target any single living being, and fatten the target to the limit of genetic tolerance in a short period of time! This skill has no cooldown time.]
Xia Lin was stunned on the spot.
"this……"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He knew that unstable mutation was very strong, very strong! But he didn't realize that this talent also had a funny side.
This extremely fast nourishing style seems to be a little bit wrong...
Xia Lin's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of the application scenario of this skill for a moment.
But it did not stop Xia Lin from placing Rapid Nourishment (Mutation) in the constant skill column. He then picked up another skill crystal and crushed it.
[You have learned the skill: Backstab (F-level skill). ]
The faint light flashes again, and the unstable mutation becomes stable.
[Your skill: Backstab (F-level skill), mutated to Backstab (mutated).]
[Backstab (mutation): A limit-breaking skill, a passive skill. When you backstab a camp, all attributes will be permanently improved according to the impact caused.]
"Limit-breaking skills..."
Mumbling these four words, the Jhin District system quickly gave an answer.
[Limit-breaking skills are special skills in the Shattered Ashes area.]
[The upper limit of the attribute of the Cinder Walker is directly related to the level. 】
[The attribute cap for a level 1 Cinder Walker is 10 points, level 2 is 20 points, and so on. ]
[However, the attribute bonus provided by the limit-breaking skill can break this limit, break through the level cap, and can be retained permanently. ]
This means that a level 1 Cinder Walker can even use limit-breaking skills to raise his attributes to 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 or 100,000!
Xia Lin thought of the profession of Limit Breaker.
Attributes are power, and values are truth! Without saying anything, Xia Lin dragged Backstab (Mutation) to the Constant Skill column and crushed the third skill crystal.
[You have learned the skill: Slow down your pace (F-level skill).]
[Your skill: Slow down your pace (F-level skill), mutated into A thousand miles apart (mutation).]
[A Thousand Miles Away (Variant): Active skill. Consume half of your remaining spirit (minimum 5 points), say goodbye to the target, and wave your hand to activate this skill. After the skill is activated, you will immediately move to any place that is 1,000 miles away from the target. The cooldown time of this skill is half a month.]
Then, Xia Lin's tense nerves relaxed.
He got what he needed most.
…
"Come back."
After staying in the settlement space for a while and glancing at the Jhin Mall, Xia Lin confirmed that 100 Jhin Points could not buy anything he needed, so he decided to return.
This time, the Jhin system finally gave detailed instructions about its return.
[After returning from the Ashes, you will return to the entrance of the Ashes. ]
[At the same time, because the speed of time in the Ash Zone is different from that in reality, no matter how long you stay in the Ash Zone, only one hour will pass in reality. ]
This means that survivors who enter the same Ash Zone through the same entrance will appear in the same place at the same time when they return.
What Li Peipei said is indeed true.
[At the same time, you need to find the entrance to the Ashes Zone on your own within one month and enter the Ashes Zone again.]
【Those who exceed the time limit will be killed.】
The Ashes are like tigers and wolves, forcing the Ashes Walkers to constantly enter the Ashes, constantly fall into death, and constantly struggle to survive.
There is indeed a reason why the original owner of this body did not want to be a Cinder Walker.
No one likes to live a life of near death.
"But I, Xia Lin, would rather take my destiny into my own hands."
He slowly clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and completely returned to reality.
