Virus King - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: SSS-Rank Profession: Nightmare! Entering the Black Building!

TL: YYang

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Bro, aren’t I cool? Did you see the video on the forum? Aren’t I cool?]

[I’m Really Not a Sword Immortal: Awesome, awesome, awesome, damn lucky! Is there anyone else in the group besides you who has awakened abilities?]

[Overlord: Not only has no one awakened, but over the past few days, there have been some showing off on the forum. However, even for those who have awakened skills, they are only C-Rank or D-Rank, with B-Rank being the highest. And this guy awakened an S-Rank?!]

[Yezi: Damn lucky bastard!]

[Your Han King: Damn, if the video lasted one more second, you’d have been exposed. That skill only lasts for a few seconds!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: It’s all jealousy! Don’t let my brilliance blind you!]

As expected, the chat log in the group was filled with Ma Er showing off wildly.

The group members were filled with envy and jealousy, and they planned to teach him a lesson at Mount Shu, showing him why flowers are so red.

Meng Meng’s appearance also attracted everyone’s attention:

[Meng Meng: What are you all talking about? What awakening abilities?]

[Crow: Grabbing onto Old Dream’s thigh, Old Dream, did you complete your profession transfer?!]

[Meng Meng: Yes, the SSS-Rank transfer was too difficult, impossible to complete, so I settled for SS-Rank!]

[Ding Ding: !!!!!]

Crow didn’t speak again, and neither did Meng Meng. Clearly, Crow went to private chat with him.

Indeed, that was the case. Within a few minutes of Chen Bai lurking, Crow sent a private message:

[Crow: Lord Bai, are you there?]

[Bai: 1!]

This guy was really anxious.

But it was understandable. Over a month ago, Crow was already Level 10, and he had been stuck at this threshold for over a month. He also possessed an SS-Rank talent, so anyone would be anxious by now.

Chen Bai originally wanted to ask Meng Meng about her profession abilities and growth, but it seemed Crow didn’t want to wait even a minute.

Chen Bai could only wait patiently.

Sure enough, Meng Meng sent over a Dream-Stealing Totem.

With a familiar hypnotic process, Chen Bai slowly closed his eyes, and the next moment, his body appeared in an unfamiliar place!

Crow, Meng Meng, and Chen Bai had all experienced dream linking before, so they had seen each other already.

This was inside a villa, clearly Crow’s residence. Crow’s previous economic status was unknown, but with enough strength, he naturally occupied a house he liked during the apocalypse without having to buy one.

Chen Bai ignored Crow’s greetings and went straight to the point:

“Meng Meng, how did the profession transfer go?”

Meng Meng, still the same as before, seemed a bit dazed after sleeping in her dream for less than half a month. Nonetheless, she nodded:

“The transfer is complete. The SSS-Rank requirements needed me to kill a million dream creatures and also slay a Level 15 version of myself in a dream. I tried several times; it was too difficult, so I gave up. Now I have an SS-Rank profession: Nightmare!”

Meng Meng had complete trust in Chen Bai and directly shared all the details of her profession with him.

[Nightmare (SS): Spirit Growth +35, Free Attribute Points Growth +20!]

[Dream Eater (Profession Authority): Can devour others’ useless dreams, permanently increasing certain attributes based on dream size, and integrating the dream into one’s own, permanently solidifying it.]

[Blade of Dreams (Profession Skill): Active skill usable in dreams, with no casting time. Instant death effect triggered on all creatures with lower spirit strength than oneself when hit! Causes massive spiritual damage if spirit strength is at the same level, slicing the dream and reducing the opponent’s spirit strength significantly! Instant death effect is the second priority! Cooldown: 2 minutes]

[Shield of Dreams (Profession Skill): Passive skill effective in dreams, making it so no creature with lower spirit strength can harm the Nightmare.]

[Dream Descent (Profession Skill): Active skill, forcibly pulling a certain area or creatures into a dream, with effects determined by one’s own spirit strength!]

This profession… such extreme growth!

Chen Bai nodded, having to admit it was perfectly matched with Meng Meng’s talent.

If Meng Meng’s Dreamwalker ability allowed her to master dreams with omnipotent abilities within them—such as immortality, drop rate increases, and even influencing reality by entering dreams to clear dungeons together or using dreams for teleportation—then the Nightmare profession significantly boosted Meng Meng’s combat power within dreams!

Although some abilities overlapped with her talent, overlap did not mean redundancy; instead, it meant that one plus one was greater than two!

Chen Bai glanced at Meng Meng and nodded:

“A very impressive profession. However, Meng Meng, I have a question. In our current state, where we’ve connected with Crow and you through dream entry, are we considered to be within a dream? Can you use your abilities within the dream?”

Meng Meng nodded:

“Of course, we’re in a dream. My talent can take effect! And both skills that can only be used in dreams are usable! However, even though it’s a dream, if Brother Chen and Crow die in the dream, you will die in reality too! That’s the rule of my dream!”

Crow was speechless, though at this moment, he really wanted to complain about why Lord Bai was Brother Chen and he was just Crow.

But with the impending entry into the Black Building, Crow wasn’t in the mood to joke.

Chen Bai nodded: “Since that’s the case, I’m relieved. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let you enter this dungeon!”

“Um, Lord Bai, is this Black Building very dangerous? With your strength…”

Chen Bai nodded: “I have a premonition it will be very dangerous, so be prepared. Although I don’t know why your profession clue is in this dungeon, be extra cautious! As for Meng Meng and me, we have nothing to worry about.”

Seeing Chen Bai’s serious demeanor, Crow nodded.

The next moment, the three of them exited the villa and followed Crow to a dilapidated apartment building. Crow took out a scroll and crushed it!

Instantly, the ordinary apartment building was enveloped in a black light! The next moment, the once ordinary apartment building transformed into a standalone dark building, roughly four stories high.

The pitch-black walls seemed capable of swallowing everything!

Then, the next moment, a swirling vortex of the dark secret realm appeared before them!

[Do you wish to enter the Hell-level Secret Realm Dungeon: Black Building (Level 10-20)?]

[Yes!]
