Whilst feeling the familiar sensation of weightlessness, ng Zhihan found herself back in the ga once more.
However unlike before when she was imdiately imrsed within the ga world, a new cutscene appeared before her view this ti around.
The intro animation began with sa old cutscene which depicted how all first-beta players’ was summoned into the realm of Seigües.
However, compared to its previous iterations, this particular cutscene played out much faster.
As usual, the scene depicted players being summoned one by one as they gradually built their cities from the ground up and expanded their forces. This was shown in just a few fras as the narrative quickly moved to recent events, highlighting the arrival of the fourth-beta players.
Next ca the expansion of the Chosen City, followed by the exploration efforts of the fourth-beta players and the onset of the underground war…
Various cutscenes of certain noteworthy players in action were once again turned into beautifully crafted cinematic scenes, accompanied by a stirring music soundtrack that filled ng Zhihan’s view.
Then, as these scenes unfolded, a deep voice laden with ancient vicissitudes began narrating alongside the advancing cinematic intro:
“With the help of the Chosen Ones, the Elvenkind finally regained their foothold in the realm of Seigües…”
“As their goddess’s power steadily recovers, the civilization of the elves began to thrive anew, with the na of the Goddess of Life rapidly spreading across the land of Seigües…”
“—Yet, a new crisis is brewing across the continent.”
“With the resurgence of mana, a myriad of mysterious existences are awakening one after another, heralding the onset of a tumultuous age…”
“In this upcoming new era, only those with considerable strength can truly forge a legend for themselves.”
The cinematic scene then focused on inside the goddess’s temple, wherein a male and a female player knelt before the statue of the Goddess Evé in devout prayer.
Their reverent voices echoed within ng Zhihan’s ears:
“Praise be thy nature, praise be thy life, praise be thy great Goddess Eve!”
“We are willing to beco the sharpest sword and the strongest shield, to faithfully protect thee! To protect… our holand!”
“Please oh rciful goddess… grant us even greater strength!”
Then, as their prayers concluded, a brilliant light enveloped them, making them both radiate with a dazzling glow.
When the light eventually faded, the two were adorned in magnificent, stylish gear and exuded a much more prominent appearance.
One wore an impressive mage robe, whilst the other were adorned in an imposing warrior equipnt.
What followed was a highlighted line of golden text appearing across the center of the screen:
“Silver Jobclass Advancent, now officially launched!”
The cutscene finally ended there as ng Zhihan promptly returned to her room inside her abode in Chosen City.
However, she remained still in her bed as her mind drifted back to the scene where the impressive appearance of the two elves, after advancing their job class, continued to linger within her mind.
“Those two were wearing an equipnt I haven’t seen before…and their craftsmanship looks to be even more intricate and beautiful! Could this be the new set of ‘uniforms’ only available to Silver-ranks?”
She murmured excitedly to herself, with her eyes brightening considerably.
In the ga, the term “uniform” usually referred to the epic purple-grade equipnt sold in the exchange store.
These items were not only beautifully crafted and cost-effective but also ca in a coordinated unified appearance.
They were commonly seen as the standard top-level equipnt for players at their peak, hence the nickna “graduation uniforms.”
“Those definitely must be for the Silver-rank…”
ng Zhihan speculated.
With that, she finally jumped out of bed, quickly put on her equipnt, and, without waiting for her friend Yuanjuan, who seed to have not logged in yet, rushed out of her house and headed straight for the Temple of Life.
Nearly two hours had passed back on earth, and dawn had already arrived in the land of Seigües.
The update had only been implented monts ago, yet many players had already awakened in Chosen City.
As ng Zhihan approached the vicinity of the temple, she imdiately noticed a crowd gathering at its entrance, looking around with curious and expectant expressions.
There was no doubt within ng Zhihan’s mind that these people were likely waiting to see the players who had already completed their job class advancent.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of superiority, as a small smile appeared upon her lips.
With her head held high and each step radiating grace, she entered the Temple of Life.
She had long prepared for her job class advancent and had already saved up the 30,000 contribution points needed in her account.
After walking deeper into the Temple, she knelt on one knee before the goddess’s statue, as ng Zhihan took a deep breath and began to pray earnestly:
Praise be thy nature, praise be thy life and praise be thy great Goddess Eve!
This new verse was a slightly modified one from before, designed to conceal the goddess’s true identity as the World Tree.
As ng Zhihan inwardly prayed, a soft light emanated from the goddess’s statue, enveloping her body.
Her consciousness then blurred montarily, and she found herself in the character creation scene as the system’s lodious voice resonated within her mind:
【❗ 】
【 Congratulations! You are eligible for Jobclass Advancent! Now Initiating Secondary Advancent Ceremony.】
【Your current Jobclass is “Druid.” Please choose your secondary advancent path.】
【Cost for this advancent: 30,000 Contribution Points.】
【Available secondary advancent paths for Druid are:】
【Magic Specialization, Feral Specialization, Healing Specialization, Control Specialization.】
【Please select your specialization path.】
Secondary advancent?
Specialization paths?
ng Zhihan was a bit surprised.
Although the users on the forums had previously speculated that the new update might involve further specialization of each jobclass, ng Zhihan found herself hesitating now that it was her turn to choose.
Quite frankly, she wasn’t quite sure which one to pick.
After a mont of thought, she began to carefully examine the descriptions of the specializations available for secondary advancent.
【Specialization Path: This allows you to focus on a particular developnt direction within your jobclass. All skills in this direction shall receive a significant enhancent percentage (30%) and skill proficiency gains would be doubled, and you may also randomly acquire a unique talent skill.】
【Talent skills can be cast instantly and consu half the usual MP cost.】
Skills that can be Insta-cast ?
Moreover, it will only consu half MP?
Why, this… sounds really powerful!
ng Zhihan’s eyes lit up.
But wait… a talent skill chosen at random?
Ugh, why does it have to involve luck again…
ng Zhihan sighed.
She continued thoroughly reading the details, scrolling down through the descriptions of each specialization path:
【Magic Specialization: Enhances the druid’s ranged magic skills, while boosting your spell effectiveness. This path is ideal for ranged magical DPS.】
【Feral Specialization: Enhances the druid’s shapeshifting abilities, while boosting one’s lee combat skills. Ideal for players who value lee DPS and tanking.】
【Healing Specialization: Enhances the druid’s healing skills, while improving its effectiveness. Ideal for ranged healing.】
【Control Specialization: Enhances the druid’s crowd control abilities, while improving one’s control skills. This path is ideal for support roles.】
They’re all quite tempting…
ng Zhihan felt a bit conflicted.
However, all her ti spent playing the ga hadn’t been for nothing.
After so thought, she first ruled out Magic Specialization.
With the presence of mages, she felt that druids, no matter how strong they beca, still wouldn’t be able to compete with mages in terms of magic ranged DPS.
Next, she eliminated Control Specialization.
This path seed to be purely for support, and since ng Zhihan rarely joined any teams, choosing this would not be very cost-effective for her.
That left her with either Feral Specialization or Healing Specialization.
After a mont of indecision, ng Zhihan ultimately chose the path, Feral Specialization.
She chose this simply because half of her current skills were related to shapeshifting, such as the skills [Nature’s Whisper] and [Cat’s Grace.]
These skills would definitely be enhanced if she chose this particular specialization path.
As for the healing specialization path…
Unfortunately, even at level 40, she hadn’t learned any healing spells at all so this one was obvious a no for her.
Additionally, if she excelled in shapeshifting, it would also benefit her forging abilities, as many elven blacksmithing techniques required a certain level of physical strength.
Finally, after much deliberation, ng Zhihan made her decision with determination.
“I choose Feral Specialization!”
After she selected her path, her account’s contribution points, which totaled over 50,000, instantly decreased by 30,000.
Then, a mystical light enveloped her body once again.
ng Zhihan felt a gentle, sacred power entering her body, flowing through every part of her being.
As this warm energy circulated, her entire body began to heat up, and her strength began to surged forth in an instant…
【❗】
【Jobclass Advancent Successful.】
【Congratulations, Chosen One ng Zhihan, for becoming an Archdruid specializing in the Feral Path!】
