Chapter 128 Inauguration
"I have a problem." A girl raised her hand.

"Speak." The old man said.

"If we already had the card master profession when we were alive, what should we do now?" the girl asked.

Liu Ping found that many people showed concern.

——I'm afraid it's not just the girl who has this question and worry.

The old man said with a smile: "Please rest assured that in the empire, all card master professions have been integrated into the cards, this is to improve the combat effectiveness of the whole people—"

"For the empire, you are a card; but for yourself, you can completely regard yourself as a card master."

He flipped open the heavy book in front of him.

Cards were drawn out one by one by him and pasted on the blackboard behind him.

"Okay, little ones, let's all choose the initial occupation, the first class will officially start soon." The old man said.

The teenagers looked at the blackboard.

"What is this?" A boy complained loudly.

"It's too low-level." His deskmate also said.

"Such a simple job?" A girl couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ping looked at the blackboard, and saw that the cards were all light gray, with various weapons and corresponding simple clothing drawn on them.

When he stared at the cards, lines of burning small characters suddenly jumped out, marking the top of the cards:

"Beginners with firearms."

"A Psychic Apprentice."

"Apprentice knight."

"Psychic practitioner."

"A junior archer."

"Entry warrior."

"Assassination practitioner."

"..."

"Note: These are the most basic occupations, at the bottom of all occupations, but they are also the starting point of many advanced occupations."

Liu Ping nodded slightly.

Even the clown card I drew back then, although extremely unpopular, was much stronger than these professions.

No wonder everyone is a little dissatisfied.

"Quiet!"

The old man waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, when you were alive, you all thought highly of yourself, but have you ever thought about a question—"

"You are dead and have lost all your power."

The teenagers were still a little unconvinced, but their voices were much quieter.

The old man said: "Everything has to be started from the beginning. As long as you have the strength, it will be a matter of time before you advance your current occupation to a higher occupation or change your occupation. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone responded sparsely.

"The first class is a trial of the elimination system. Now come up and choose your initial occupation according to your own abilities," the old man said.

"Trial?" Someone shouted.

"Yes, you are not newbies anymore, so you will directly enter some newly recovered lost lands. There are too many sacrificed souls there, and some pollution has been received. Fortunately, it has been almost cleared. You go to carry out relevant mop-up work." The old man said.

Now everyone is quiet.

Everyone finally realized that the current environment is not a safe place.

Their eyes turned to the blackboard again.

Profession!

——In Purgatory, career is power!

The teenagers stepped forward one by one and began to choose their favorite careers.

Liu Ping also looked around carefully, feeling a little troubled.

In terms of cards, I actually know too little, and I can't compare with these native teenagers.

Which career should I choose?

His gaze flicked over one card after another, and suddenly stopped on a card.

On that card was a simple armor and a shield.

When his eyes stopped, small burning words appeared in the void, interpreting the card:
"Apprentice knight."

"You can wear all armor, use all cold weapons and shields."

"Evaluation: This is an all-rounder on the battlefield, but knowing everything means that it is difficult to master everything. If there is no extremely high talent, people who engage in this profession will often be mediocre."

Liu Ping glanced over, and asked silently: "What if the talent is barely passable?"

Another line of burning small characters emerged:

"This is one of the careers with the most development branches, and it can be advanced or changed in countless directions."

"What is your choice?"

Liu Ping murmured: "I once fought against the Blood Knight, and I won easily because of that strange card; I still have a deep impression when I think about it now, and—"

"Yana used to be a paladin. If she wakes up, she should be able to give me some pointers on the profession of knight."

"In addition to the trial, if you have a set of armor, the chance of surviving will be much higher."

Having made up his mind, he stood up, walked up to the podium, and took off the apprentice knight card.

At this time, the classroom was full of chaos.

The teenagers have all obtained their initial career cards.

A girl threw the card out, only to hear a "bang", that card turned into a bow and arrow, and a barrel of arrows.

The girl looked at the bow and complained: "This is a hunting bow for hunting hares, how can I use it!"

A boy threw out the card and got an extremely crude rifle.

He picked up the gun and fiddled with it deftly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, he lost his voice and said:
"Only one bullet at a time?"

Another boy held a leather glove in his hand, and said coldly: "You are content, at least you have a weapon. As a trainee martial artist, I only have one glove—note, it is a glove, not a glove."

Liu Ping also threw out the "Apprentice Knight" card in his hand.

Bang!
A small wooden shield fell on his hand.

Immediately afterwards, another wooden stick also fell and landed on his other hand.

Liu Ping looked at it and asked uncertainly, "Is this an ordinary stick?"

The old man smiled and said: "Yes, knights can use all cold weapons, which is just right for you."

Liu Ping raised the wooden shield again——

It is too small, and it can only cover an area as large as three palms spread out.

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"You got a weapon: an inferior stick."

"—it's very poor quality, you know what I mean."

"You got the armor: low-quality wooden shield."

"Although it is nothing in the shield, it is unexpectedly strong."

"Attention, as a newborn lowest-level gray card, you are taking office and have triggered the mysterious side power in Eternal Night."

"You will sense several initial professional skills of apprentice knights, please choose carefully."

Liu Ping stood still, a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in his heart.

A certain kind of power is surging around him, and he is always ready to manifest a kind of power that belongs to him.

It can have a total of four ready-made abilities, and you have to choose one of them.

One: Halo;
Second: Weapon mastery (you can learn the basic attack skills of a certain weapon);
The third: the way of shield defense;
Fourth: healing spells;

Liu Ping didn't care about weapons and shields, after all, he had so many years of fighting experience and skills.

——But such a thing as the halo, I have never seen it before.

Do you want to choose Halo?
With a thought, he fell on the healing technique again.

Healing spells... are extremely practical.

For some reason, Liu Ping suddenly remembered the scene when he first arrived in Dark Mist Town.

After learning that he was a healer, the night watchmen looked at him differently.

…Yes, healing is very important.

Just looking at other people, you can tell that everyone's equipment is very simple and has lost their strength.

If you go to a strange environment for trials, life-saving is the most important thing.

Then-

Learn the healing spells first, and then learn the aura later.

As soon as Liu Ping's mind moved, that power suddenly turned into a burst of enlightenment and appeared in his mind.

Lines of burning small characters emerged:
"You have mastered the 'Holy Chanting Technique'."

"You became an 'apprentice knight'."

"Your card has changed:"

"Card: Apprentice Knight."

"Name: Liu Ping."

"Level 1."

"Health value: 5."

"Attack power: 3."

Liu Ping felt it silently, only felt that his muscles became stronger and his spirit became more energetic.

"It's amazing," he said with a smile.

At this time, the classroom gradually quieted down, everyone had finished their duties, and their eyes turned to the old man.

The old man looked around and said with satisfaction: "Very good, you all had rich combat experience when you were alive, now start fighting for your own future."

He stretched out his hand, and lightly twitched into the void——

In an instant, the entire classroom disappeared and appeared in his hand as a card.

Only then did everyone realize that they were in a forest.

It was dark.

At the foot of the mountain, a village came into view of the teenagers.

The raging fire was burning in the village, and there were one or two sporadic screams from time to time.

The old man said: "Go, kill all the lost souls."

"If you come back alive, you will pass."

"Note, in our eternal night, in layman's terms, 'alive' means that the soul has not been destroyed."

"The better you go on, the higher the score."

"Those who score high will get a tilt in resources and give priority to upgrading the card level."

"—This is your first lesson in the eternal night."
