Chapter 79: Innate Hidden Class, Genetic Frenzy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Fire Gift should have heard from Fire Silk about how she met Lin Chen. He prepared a sumptuous family banquet to entertain Lin Chen. During the banquet, Lin Chen found out that the Fire Silk was originally going to kill demon beasts alone. This could be considered a coming-of-age ceremony.
As long as she succeeded, it meant that she had already grown up.
Lin Chen’s interest was piqued, so he asked, “Manor Master, does everyone in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom have to experience this ritual?”
“Does Young Master Zhang not know?”
Fire Gift looked over in surprise.
“I don’t know. I’ve always lived in the mountains with my mentor. This is my first time coming down the mountain today.” Lin Chen casually found an excuse.
Fire Gift smiled with an expression of understanding and said, “No wonder Young Master Zhang is so powerful. That’s right. In our Dragon Spirit Kingdom, there’s indeed such a tradition. When you reach a certain age, you have to kill a level 100 Boss demon beast by yourself as a sign of your adulthood. Fortunately, Young Master Zhang saved her in time. Yoragon and the other three perverts have been wanted criminals for a long time. This time, Young Master Zhang got rid of them. It can be considered as getting rid of evil for the people. If Young Master Zhang is fine, feel free to stay in the residence for a while. 1 can help you report and obtain the wanted criminal reward.”
“Alright, I’m just afraid of bothering you.”
Lin Chen thought about it and agreed. He even said, “I might go out at night to kill monsters to level up. This is my homework left behind by my mentor.”
“Understood.”
Fire Gift smiled and said, “Young Master Zhang, feel free to stay in the manor. If there’s anything, you can go out at any time… You’re my granddaughter’s savior. How can you say that you’re bothering me? If Young Master Zhang doesn’t mind, 1 want my granddaughter to acknowledge you as her teacher. I don’t think she’s impressed by anyone, but she admires you. I wonder if it’s convenient for Young Master Zhang?”
Apprenticeship?
Lin Chen was surprised.
These people from the Dragon Spirit Kingdom were quite straightforward.
However, Lin Chen hesitated.
He agreed to stay only to find a way to get close to Fire Ash, the head of the Fire family.
He was not interested in Fire Silk.
However, Lin Chen could not find an excuse to reject Fire Gift’s request…
It was mainly because he did not know much about the way the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom did things. He was afraid that if he rejected them casually, there would be bad consequences.
As if sensing Lin Chen’s dilemma, Fire Gift said to him, “My granddaughter’s parents are gone. Back then… Sigh, it’s a long story. Young Master Zhang should be able to tell that although she’s from the Fire family, she doesn’t have any fire magic talent. This is because her background is special. To be honest, I’ve been looking for a good teacher for her for so many years, but I haven’t found anyone suitable for her talent.”
Only then did Lin Chen remember that Fire Silk had used sword qi in the previous battle.
Logically speaking, she should be a type of magic swordsman.
However, Fire Silk’s sword qi was very different from that of the magic swordsmen.
It was a new profession that Lin Chen had never seen before…
Could it be that this Fire Silk was born with a hidden class?
Was there such a person?
Lin Chen did not understand either.
However, there was no doubt that he still wanted to know.
Lin Chen said, “I can give it a try, but I’m afraid I’ll not be able to guide her down the right path.”
“Sigh, I believe that with Young Master’s ability and strength, you definitely won’t.”
Fire Gift was very happy and immediately said to Fire Silk, “Hurry up and acknowledge him as your master.”
“Master, I’ll serve tea to you!”
Fire Silk’s movements were also clean and decisive.
Lin Chen took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
Then, Fire Gift was very happy and took the initiative to say to Lin Chen, “This child has an innate talent. When she was young, she could release powerful sword qi from a distance with a tree branch in her hand. However, my brothers and 1 found some magic swordsmen, but we realized that her talent is not like that of a magic swordsman.”
“An innate talent… Could it be a natural hidden class?”
Lin Chen asked the question in his heart.
“Hidden class?”
Fire Gift was puzzled and asked, “What is a hidden class?”
Oh, it’s a new talent.”
Lin Chen was puzzled.
Could it be that to the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, there was no hidden class?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
These people were not players.
They should know all their job classes.
For example, when Lin Chen arrived in Ice Nation, Mo Yi quickly knew that he was a Celestial!
Lin Chen thought about it and felt that using a new talent to describe the situation of Fire Silk should be the most appropriate.
“It’s indeed a new talent that I’ve never seen before, but we don’t know how this talent was born or how to use it, so she’s not strong even now…”
Fire Gift said regretfully, “It’s a pity that back then… Sigh, her mother passed away too early. Her mother did show this talent in the past, but her mother’s talent was not as outstanding as hers.”
“Could it be related to her mother?” Lin Chen could not help but guess.
After all, Fire Gift and the rest of the Fire Family did not have Asian looks. Lin Chen looked around and saw that only he and Fire Silk had black hair and black eyes in the entire manor.
“She looks like her mother.”
Fire Gift did not say much about this.
Lin Chen already had a guess.
Then, he felt a little scared…
Perhaps Fire Silk’s talent was only a very common talent inheritance or a talent mutation to the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. However, in Lin Chen’s opinion, this was not a small matter!
Why?
That was because it was very likely to affect the survival of the entire human race on the Blue Planet!
There was one problem…
Could the humans of the Blue Planet copy their talents or mutate them to their next generation like the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom?
If it was possible, wouldn’t it be very likely that… a natural hidden job class would appear among the newborns of the Blue Planet?
This was indeed not a small problem!
But what if the humans on the Blue Planet could not duplicate or mutate their talents to the next generation?
Then, the survival prospects of the people of the Blue Planet in this new world were in danger. After all, if they could copy and mutate their talents, they might become stronger and stronger. For example, Fire Silk. Fire Gift had said that her mother’s sword qi talent was not as outstanding as Fire Silk’s.
“What does the inheritance of talent have to do with mutation and genes? Are we from the Blue Planet at a disadvantage or an advantage in this aspect?” Lin Chen thought to himself.
It was not that he was worried for hypothetical, but for the people of the Blue Planet.
Lin Chen himself was from the Blue Planet.
No one knew if he would have descendants in the future…
Moreover, who would be willing to accept that their genes were weaker than others?
This question made Lin Chen determined to let the residents of Sky Moon City study it in the future.
At this moment, Lin Chen was staying in the manor.
After everyone went to rest, Lin Chen took advantage of the night to leave the manor again.
However, Lin Chen also felt that a pair of eyes seemed to be watching him as he left the dark manor…
However, Lin Chen did not care.
He started to head north. Over there was the Taihukou Mountain Range.
The gathering place of demon beasts.
There used to be a county’s main city for the Blue Planet people.
In a small county.
It must have been destroyed now.
The demon beasts occupied this side.
Lin Chen continued to kill the Bosses while letting Yang Yourong come out to devour the undead. Now, Lin Chen’s cultivation habits were similar to the necromancers. They all came out at night.
Because he wanted to nurture the Ghost King!
Yang Yourong had a huge appetite.
Leveling up did not seem to be that easy.
There were also tens of thousands of undead in this small county, but none of them could allow her to advance.
She was still at the peak of the Ghost King Realm.
On the other hand, Lin Chen reached Level 170 in one night.
In terms of soul cultivation, his progress was still slow.
The main reason was that the levels of these Bosses were a little low in front of Lin Chen. In addition, Lin Chen’s level could not keep up with the speed at which he devoured souls to cultivate. On the other hand, Lin Chen had killed these Bosses to devour their souls and obtained very little EXP.
After sweeping through this small county city, Lin Chen felt that he had almost cleaned up all the demon beast Bosses around Sky Moon City. Even if there were still some Bosses, they were not enough to threaten the current Sky Moon City in the beast tide.
Hence, he returned to Fire Gift’s manor.
Lin Chen stayed here for a few days.
Until the day of the beast tide arrived.
In the past few days, Lin Chen would occasionally guide Fire Silk. However, he learned many of the rules of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom through interaction and conversation with the people in the manor.
There was also the way the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom interacted.
In short, strength was everything.
After strength was family background.
It was said that Fire Silk’s mother was a beggar back then. Later, she was brought into the Fire Family by Fire Silk’s father. In the beginning, she was only a servant. Therefore, Lin Chen realized that Fire Silk did not have many friends among the third generation members of the Fire Family.
After Lin Chen completely understood Fire Silk’s abilities, he felt that the sword qi talent of Fire Silk was very strange… It always gave him the feeling that he had seen it on many martial arts television and movies.
Her sword qi could penetrate the body and even condense. Although her attack power was not strong at the moment, she definitely lacked specialized training.
Lin Chen could not help but guess the identity of Fire Silk’s mother.
Or, what kind of human was she?
Lin Chen knew that there were many different types of humans in New World.
For example, the Holy Maiden Tribe.
They were also humans.
However, they were also a unique race.
In the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, there was no discrimination in this aspect.
Everything depended on strength.
Gold Spear had welcomed the Holy Maiden Tribe back then.
If that was the case, what kind of human species was Fire Silk’s mother?
He thought about his previous experience playing New World and the various NPCs he had seen. He thought about it for a few days and seemed to have some clues, but he still could not think of any useful information.
“Perhaps…”
Lin Chen suddenly thought meaningfully, “Should 1 let a resident of Sky Moon City woo a Holy Maiden to see if their union can bring about new talent?”
But who should he look for?
Lin Chen definitely couldn’t do it himself. Liu Mengyao was still around!
Then…
Zhang Chunlin?
But this guy had already found a girlfriend.
On the other side, Zhang Chunlin, who was trying his best to direct everyone to deal with the monster siege, thought inexplicably, “Who misses me, Boss? Impossible. This guy doesn’t even come back for the monster siege… Fortunately, these monsters look very weak. They seem like they’re either missing an arm or a leg?”
After sneezing three times in a row, Zhang Chunlin also felt a little strange.
He was dealing with a monster attack!
Couldn’t he be more serious?
Most importantly, he kept sneezing, and the monsters were so weak…
He really could not be serious!
