Virus King - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Preparations Before Entering the Abyss! The Mutated Spear of Longinus!

TL: YYang

[Overlord: Holy shit!]

[Crow: Holy shit?!]

[Liu Huai: Holy shit!?!]

[…]

[Ding Ding: What happened?]

[Ding Ding: Holy shit!]

In an instant, the entire Group Chat No. 001 was flooded with these two massive words. Everyone was frantically expressing their shock over the incredible spectacle before them.

The scene unfolding before their eyes was simply too astonishing!

[Crow: An actual SSS-level profession exists? Oh my god! Lord Bai, you’re my superhero!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Daddy!]

[Shui Chuan: An SSS-level profession? What kind of changes does it bring? White Emperor, please enlighten us! ‘Scourge of the Living’ doesn’t sound like anything good, though?]

Seeing these former Emperors and Saints of the previous life—now pioneers in the post-apocalypse, progressing far beyond ordinary Evolvers—reacting this way, Chen Bai couldn’t help but smile.

[Bai: I don’t know, what’s there to explain?]

[King Liu: Lord Bai, are you not at level 10 either?! Damn, leveling up is so hard! It’s infuriating!]

[Your Han King: Lord Bai mentioned before that he needs two SSS-level profession scrolls for a mission. Damn, that’s way too extravagant!]

[Lu Fei Fei Fei Fei: Bowing in reverence…]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Sigh, who knows when we’ll reach level 10 and get our first profession transfer! Damn it, I really want to ride in Lord Bai’s car!]

[Yezi: @Bai, Lord Bai, can I ride your reproductive—oops, I mean promotion vehicle? I also want to upgrade! I want a high-tier profession transfer!]

[…]

[Notification: ‘Yezi’ has been muted by the administrator ‘Meng Meng’ for ten minutes!]

[Meng Meng: Please be mindful!]

[King Liu: Brother Dream is so impressive!]

Seeing the chat unfold, Chen Bai froze for a moment. A thought suddenly crossed his mind—not about Yezi’s promotion vehicle. Who knew what kind of wild and uninhibited woman this was, as skilled at “driving” as a seasoned pro.

No, his thoughts revolved around leveling up and profession transfers!

He had originally stopped hoping for that special reward tied to the first profession transfer.

After all, he thought that spending an entire year in that secret realm had made him miss the opportunity completely.

But now, it seemed like there might still be a chance!

Chen Bai stopped paying attention to the increasingly off-topic chat in the group and sank into thought.

He glanced at his experience panel:

[Evolver: Chen Bai]

[Experience: Level 10 (7,500/150,000)]

He had already reached level 10, but reaching level 10 didn’t mean he could immediately undergo his first profession transfer.

In his previous life, the first person to successfully change professions, if he remembered correctly, was an SSS-level talent holder from the White Eagle Empire. This person completed the change about a month and a half after reaching level 10.

And now, by his calculations, there was less than a month left!?

It seemed like a long time, but in reality, this raised a very practical issue.

Those Evolvers who leveled up quickly and had strong talents wouldn’t hastily use just any profession scroll to change their professions even after reaching Level 10!

For beings of this caliber, finding a high-grade profession scroll that suited them was often more troublesome.

Meanwhile, ordinary Evolvers who casually use low-grade profession scrolls to transition experience very slow leveling speeds.

Thus, Chen Bai never considered himself the luckiest or the strongest, but even in his previous life, across the entirety of Blue Star, it wasn’t until a month and a half into the apocalypse that the first profession transferr appeared, marking the opening of the God and Devil Trial Grounds!

Although Chen Bai wasn’t particularly impressed by the small reward for being the first to change professions, every bit counted, no matter how minor. And the rewards for being the first to change professions were comparable to clearing Nightmare-level and Hell-level dungeons.

These rewards included increasing the reputation value of all Evolvers within a national faction!

Reputation impacted experience gain and drop rate bonuses—an invaluable benefit!

Chen Bai narrowed his eyes slightly but quickly shook his head. The hidden profession within the Abyss still had an unknown transition task.

As for how long it would take, that was also unclear.

At this point, trying to vie for the first profession transfer seemed somewhat unreasonable.

But!

Even if his own situation was uncertain, letting the Evolvers of the White Eagle Empire benefit didn’t sit well with him. If someone had to gain from it, wouldn’t it be better if it were the Evolvers of the Dragon Nation?

Better to favor outsiders than to help one’s own enemies.

Though some individuals were more annoying than foreign foes, the members of Group Chat No. 001 seemed reasonably normal.

Chen Bai understood the Abyss well. Precisely because he understood it, he wouldn’t recklessly charge in.

In his previous life, when he entered the Abyss and completed his profession transfer, luck had played a significant role.

Of course, his current strength was more than ten times greater than in his past life!

Still, while his strength had grown, his goals had also changed, hadn’t they?

If the Western Middle Ages was the garden of the God of Plague, then the Abyss was an endless blood-soaked arena.

Combat and slaughter were the essence of that world.

Before entering the Abyss, thorough preparation was essential. Otherwise, it would be a gamble with his life.

Thinking this, Chen Bai returned his attention to the group chat while deliberating in his mind.

After pondering for a long while, Chen Bai shook his head helplessly.

In his previous life, when he reached Magic City, he had almost reached level 20. By then, several months had passed since the apocalypse began.

At that time, most low-level dungeons and secret realms were inaccessible to him or no longer worth visiting, so he hadn’t bothered to learn much about low-level dungeons near Magic City.

Unless it was a secret realm like Red Star Psychiatric Hospital, where the Nightmare-level difficulty and unique features made it impossible to ignore, Chen Bai barely had any memory of them.

Otherwise, there wasn’t much that had left a strong impression.

Compared to this, Chen Bai felt another matter was more critical.

In those secret realms, he had never paused for a single day and hadn’t taken much time to focus on his own strength.

He had gathered a substantial amount of general evolution points in the Plague Chemical Plant, which he hadn’t yet put to proper use.

Just as Chen Bai stepped out of the chemical plant, planning to find a safe place to examine his general evolution points, something unexpected happened.

In that moment, an item in his backpack suddenly emitted a faint light.

It wasn’t just any item—it was that piece of battered junk he had brought out of the secret realm:

The Spear of Longinus!
