Chapter 35: The Ultimate Pay-to-Win Player
As Yu Feng displayed his fawning behavior, many couldn’t help but feel a sense of disdain. After all, Yu Feng was the Speaker of the province, second in rank only to the Governor, and in the Empire’s eyes, he was considered a high-ranking official.
Yet, here he was, acting so subserviently toward a young man like Qin Xian, showing none of the dignity or authority expected of someone of his status. It was truly contemptible!
However, despite their disdain, the other officials of Donghai Province couldn’t help but also feel a deep sense of envy. The opportunity to get close to the heir of the Qin family was something they all desired.
If they could curry favor with Qin Xian, they would certainly do so, perhaps even lowering themselves more than Yu Feng had! But the unfortunate truth was…
Not just anyone was qualified to get close to someone like Qin Xian…
“Speaker Yu, for the time being, you will act as the interim Governor. Make sure to handle everything properly,” Qin Xian instructed with a faint smile.
Although, officially, Qin Xian was just a student at the Imperial Academy and had no right to give such orders, no one found his words out of place.
Yu Feng’s expression became more serious as he nodded, “Rest assured, Young Master Qin, I will handle everything well.”
He understood that Qin Xian was referring to covering up any remaining traces. It was essential to ensure that when the investigation team arrived, they would find nothing incriminating.
Satisfied, Qin Xian nodded and then left the Divine Revelation Monolith. He had acquired the Arcane Source, defeated the Child of Destiny Lin Feng, and gained numerous system rewards, all of which required his careful consideration…
“Safe travels, Young Master Qin!”
As Qin Xian departed, Yu Feng, Feng Jun, and the other officials loyal to the Qin family immediately bowed deeply, showing utmost respect. The other high-ranking officials of Donghai Province, seeing the Speaker and the Chief Inspector bowing, felt compelled to follow suit.
At a glance, it was a truly impressive sight. Qin Xian left surrounded by his followers, while the high-ranking officials of Donghai Province bowed in respect behind him. It was a scene that left an indelible impression…
Donghai Province had indeed become the Qin family’s domain!
Back at his hotel, Qin Xian eagerly opened his profession panel. His profession panel was nothing short of luxurious!
【Profession: Oracle Knight】
【HP: 43,100 / MP: 42,600】
Qin Xian’s first profession, Oracle Knight, wasn’t a Void-related profession, so it only benefited from a 50% attribute boost from the Arcane Source. But even so, Qin Xian’s attribute points far exceeded those of other professionals at the same level.
【Skills: Sword of Judgment, Shield of Sanctuary, Invincible Holy Light, Ember Surge, Blessing of the Archangel of Light…】
【Talent 1: Divine Favor: You are a divine child favored by the gods. Oracle Knight is not your final destination. Every 30 levels gained will grant you a Fragment of Divinity.】
【Talent 2: Rebirth from Fire: When your HP drops to 0, you instantly recover to full HP, and subsequent damage is reduced by 80% for 30 seconds. (Cooldown: One Month)】
Though Qin Xian’s second profession was Void Lord, the supreme entity of the Void system, it didn’t mean that his first profession, Oracle Knight, was any less formidable.
On the contrary, as a rare SSS-class hidden profession, Oracle Knight was also extraordinarily powerful. Not only were its skills incredibly strong, making its combat power far superior to other combat professions, but its growth potential was also terrifying.
For every 30 levels gained, the Oracle Knight could obtain a Fragment of Divinity, unlocking the power of the corresponding god’s law. In the late game, if all the Fragments of Divinity were collected, the Oracle Knight could evolve into an Archangel, becoming a demigod!
However, what Qin Xian was most interested in were the rewards from the villain system, particularly the “Rebirth from Fire” talent.
This world was one where everyone could change professions, a world where games had become reality, but it was also an extremely dangerous place.
Not only was there the constant threat of fighting Void monsters on the Void frontlines, but outside the safety of specific main cities, anyone could be killed without consequence.
There were countless people who had met their end in dangerous dungeons or at the hands of powerful elite monsters and bosses lurking in the wilderness.
But with the “Rebirth from Fire” talent, Qin Xian now had a second life! The significance of this talent to Qin Xian was beyond words.
As for the 30 extra attribute points provided by the villain system, Qin Xian allocated them all to strength. The strength attribute affected physical attack power and the physical damage of skills.
Both of Qin Xian’s professions—Oracle Knight and Void Overlord—were physical professions. Although 30 points might seem modest, they were incredibly valuable as extra attribute points!
Moreover, as the villain system awarded more and more villain points in the future, the extra attribute points he could convert would also increase. Combined with additional talents…
Although Qin Xian had just eliminated Lin Feng, the Child of Destiny, he was already eagerly anticipating the discovery of the next Child of Destiny…
These so-called Children of Destiny were all just stepping stones for his growth…
Gazing at his luxurious profession panel, Qin Xian couldn’t help but sigh. No matter what world you’re in, wealth and power are the ultimate forces!
If you consider this world as a game, who’s more formidable: a lucky player or a hardcore player?
The most powerful of all is the pay-to-win player! And without a doubt, Qin Xian was this game world’s… ultimate pay-to-win player!
