The traces of battle outside Starfire Town were gradually buried by the falling wind and snow, while the townspeople, under Su Xiao's arrangements, moved into the residential areas refreshed by the system.
After yesterday's turmoil, everyone fell into a deep sleep the moment they touched their beds.
However, unlike the peace within Starfire Town, throughout Donghai City, countless white bones silently rose from the wind and snow, their eyes flashing with black radiance as they marched towards the center of Donghai City.
Amidst the wind and snow, giant Abominations and even more bizarre beings, their colossal bodies constantly moved between the buildings.
Beneath the earth, innumerable Death Larvae, with their continuous roars, also rapidly surged towards the city center.
The undead were gathering, and a new crisis was brewing.
Meanwhile, in Starfire Town's plaza, Chen Luo had already donned a set of neat black leather armor and was sitting cross-legged before a massive statue.
This set of leather armor was the Night Wolf Set, dropped during his previous battle with the Night Wolf.
Now at level 11, Chen Luo could finally change his equipment.
The Night Wolf Set, composed of six pieces, had been fully assembled into ten sets by Chen Luo after he annihilated the entire wolf pack.
In addition to that, there were over a thousand Candle Illumination and dozens of Night Wolf Bloods, ranging from elite to lord-grade.
[Night Wolf Set]
[Equip Level]: Level 11
[Overall Effects]: Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit each increase by 20 points. Physical Defense increases by 300. Magical Defense increases by 600.
[Set Effects]:
1. Wolf's Charm: Increases Charm by 10 points.
2. Children of the Night: Under the cover of night, Health regeneration speed increases by 50%.
[Detected that the player possesses the unique equipment "Heart of the Wolf", activating an additional effect for the Wild Wolf Set]
3. King of the Night Wolves (Additional Effect): Command increases by 30 points.
Clad in black, Chen Luo's handsome face now held a touch of mystery.
As a level 11 set, the Night Wolf Set's effects were quite decent. When his subordinates completed their life transitions in the future, Chen Luo might consider distributing the extra Night Wolf Sets as rewards.
However, Chen Luo hadn't expected that the unique equipment dropped by the Wolf King could form ačåØ effect with the Night Wolf Set. This additional 30 points of Command were not bad.
As for the over a thousand Candle Illuminations that dropped, they were urgently needed resources for most safe zones.
Even though the light range outside the safe zone had materialized into a solid barrier after Starfire Town's safe zone advanced to a town, these Candle Illuminations could still be useful.
By igniting the Candle Illuminations before the town center's statue, their power could be consumed to repair the defensive barrier outside the town.
As for the Night Wolf Blood and the Undead Blood dropped by the monsters just now, following certain premonitions in his heart, Chen Luo had no intention of using them.
Items that altered human identity seemed to be a trap in a sense.
Regarding the set pieces dropped by the Death Larvae, Chen Luo glanced at them and had no interest in collecting them at all.
Even if he killed too many in the future and collected them, Chen Luo wouldn't consider changing his equipment, because although the stats were similar to the Night Wolf Set, the appearance was too ugly!
Strength is a matter of the version, but looking cool is a matter of a lifetime. Chen Luo expressed his extreme disdain for this new set.
Speaking of which, there was one thing Chen Luo was very satisfied with after putting on the Night Wolf Set.
The durability of these system-produced equipment was very high. Chen Luo didn't have to worry about himself going bare-chested from his own punches due to his immense strength.
Moreover, if they were truly damaged, they would automatically return to his consciousness sea for repair, and could be automatically equipped again after the repair was complete.
...
After a simple organization of the monster drops he had obtained, Chen Luo looked at the new prompts that appeared after his life transition.
[Detected that the player is a Mage class, and has completed the first life transition. You have met the conditions for class sublimation.]
[Do you wish to sublimate your normal class "Mage" into the hidden class "Arcane Mage"?]
"Agree to sublimate! Let me see the power of dual hidden classes!"
Upon hearing Chen Luo's agreement, the system panel vanished with a roar, and endless blue light poured down from the void.
In just a moment, Chen Luo was submerged by this endless blue light.
Countless knowledge, along with the blue light, surged into Chen Luo's mind, the mysteries of magic, the brilliance of the arcane.
As if eternal, yet as if an instant, when the myriad blue lights completely dissipated, Chen Luo still sat cross-legged before the statue, as if nothing had changed.
[Class sublimation complete! Your first class has been sublimated into the hidden class "Arcane Mage"!]
[Your talent "Arcane Eye" has advanced to E-rank!]
[Detected that the player's level is 11, class attributes are being reinforced!]
[Your all-attributes have increased by 11 points, and you have gained five additional skill draw opportunities!]
Chen Luo slowly shook his head, his powerful spirit suppressing the faintly turbulent sea of consciousness. Upon hearing the system's prompt, Chen Luo chose to draw immediately.
[Congratulations on drawing the F-rank skill "Shock"]
[Congratulations on drawing the F-rank skill "Magical Sustenance"]
[Congratulations on drawing the F-rank skill "Polymorph: Stone to Mud"]
[Congratulations on drawing the F-rank skill "Mana Blade"]
[Congratulations on drawing the F-rank skill "Feather Fall"]
A large amount of magical knowledge continuously flowed into Chen Luo's mind. With Chen Luo's current powerful spirit, these F-rank spells were understood in an instant.
Among them, "Shock" and "Mana Blade" were purely offensive spells, while "Feather Fall" allowed Chen Luo to fly using magical power. However, as these spells were still F-rank, their effects were relatively weak.
The two more interesting spells were "Polymorph: Stone to Mud" and "Magical Sustenance." The former allowed Chen Luo to shape the terrain within a certain range with his will, while the latter allowed Chen Luo to convert mana into food.
From the spell descriptions Chen Luo obtained, the food and water created by "Magical Sustenance" could normally sustain a common person's daily needs, and as the level increased, the taste and nutrition of the food would leap forward.
Chen Luo was not too concerned about the attributes of skills below S-rank for the time being.
After leveling up a few times previously, Chen Luo had discovered that S-rank seemed to be a significant threshold, and skills would undergo a complete transformation after reaching S-rank.
Once these skills were leveled up to S-rank by Chen Luo through AFK farming, he wouldn't mind studying their attributes carefully.
With the completion of the Arcane Mage class, the advancement of his second class also moved onto the agenda.
The experience points for the second class were calculated separately, but the leveling progression was no different from the Mage class.
And that bit of experience was merely a drop in the bucket for Chen Luo's current massive experience pool.
"System, advance the Warlord class to level 11 as well!"
"And then organize my attribute panel after Tier 1!"
