Chapter 204: A Brand-New System! Side Professions Unlocked!

Sterl's eyes lit up as he looked at the contents of the reward pool.

These items were incredibly tempting.

After a moment of hesitation, Sterl decided that while equipment, skills, and consumables were things he could claim to need or not need, he ultimately didn't find them lacking.

They were necessary because, objectively, better equipment, skills, and more abundant consumables could enhance his combat power.

But Sterl's rapid development speed meant that his daily point allocation system couldn't keep up. Theoretically, good equipment, skills, and consumables could be gradually maxed out through point allocation.

So, he wasn't truly lacking in those areas.

Decisively, Sterl began to focus on the special items.

Even if it meant sacrificing some immediate combat strength, he had to consider the future!

A pile of rare treasures appeared before his eyes—

[Flower of All-Seeing Wisdom]

[Category: Special]

[Description: It is said that this flower can be born in the ruins where three or more elemental worlds collide.]

[Effect: Increases all attributes by 0.5 points per level after consumption.]

...

[Living Furnace]

[Effect: You can place all your equipment into the furnace for a single reforging, adding several attributes and potentially a new skill.]

...

[Imperishable]

[Effect: After death, you can choose to resurrect at any time within 7 days. The talisman will shatter upon use. If you die in the real world, the talisman will activate upon logging in and then shatter.]

...

[Spark Engine]

[Category: Special]

[Effect: You can integrate this item into any building or machinery, bringing it to life as a sentient being with a maximum power level of legendary, depending on the materials used.]

...

"Holy crap! This one's amazing!"

"Wait, this one's also great! I want them all!" Sterl browsed through these treasures, and his only conclusion was that he wanted everything!

Each item's effects were incredibly powerful.

Extra enhancements for all equipment, additional attributes per level, resurrection protection, creating a legendary-level servant...

Unfortunately, Sterl could only choose two.

After a few minutes of deliberation—during which the atmosphere in the glowing space of the trial's conclusion was incredibly tense, with everyone quietly watching the legendary figure of The Legend of the White Robe.

They felt like they were awaiting a divine judgment.

"If you are interested, I have a close brother who can create a new guild."

"You can join that guild and adventure together in the Hall of Valor."

Sterl knew that after saying this, many people might turn away, as having The Legend of the White Robe as the guild leader and having his subordinate as the guild leader were two very different concepts.

But there would definitely be those who still wanted to latch onto this opportunity.

These geniuses might not understand the specific situation in the Hall of Valor, but they knew the terror of the Devourer of All Things! A guild created by someone who could dominate such a boss would never lack members, no matter how strict the conditions were.

Responses came pouring in immediately.

"Thank you for the opportunity, Master!"

"I'm willing to join, I want to join!"

"No problem. Whatever the Master needs, just let your brother command us!"

...

Everyone appeared extremely enthusiastic.

After all, joining a guild wasn't a mandatory commitment; they could leave anytime they wanted in the future.

So, while some were disappointed they couldn't directly interact with The Legend of the White Robe, they still spoke pleasantries.

Even a few players with obvious SS talents or professions, who had lost interest in the guild, made some supportive comments from the sidelines.

At this point, Sterl casually patted the sisters beside him and said, "Go collect these people's contact information."

"Share your contact codes with me, and I will send you a private message."

Contact codes were unique strings of special symbols assigned to each player. Once you had someone's contact code, you could send them messages and even use the [Transcendence] feature to remotely transfer items.

However, the cost of transferring items was exorbitantly high, so almost no one could afford it.

The sisters' originally charming faces were now slightly contorted with joy. "Understood! Master, we will make sure everything is handled properly!"

They knew that while others might be uncertain, they had definitely latched onto a powerful benefactor.

However, a few players with SS talents and professions frowned slightly. These were individuals who had joined the "Extreme Trials" through legitimate means. They also knew that the sisters had entered through the same legitimate channels. The sisters' professions and talents complemented each other, giving them formidable combat strength, and they usually carried themselves with an air of arrogance.

In the Hall of Valor, those waiting in line for the Extreme Trials had formed a small circle. Now, watching the sisters fawn and seemingly prepare to offer themselves, they felt a sense of absurdity!

While they could understand the power of The Legend of the White Robe, which merited such devotion from the sisters, the speed of their change in attitude was shocking. Was their previous aloofness all just an act?

In a corner unseen by these players, a trace of sadness and helplessness flickered in the sisters' eyes, despite their enthusiastic and excited exterior.

Meanwhile, Sterl noticed the fluctuating emotions among the sisters and some of the players, but he couldn't care less. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were meaningless. Besides, he planned to use the deputy star to control his trusted followers, so any minor scheming was not a concern.

He waved his hand at the crowd, "Rest assured, as long as you work for me, you will be well rewarded."

He then chose to leave the settlement space and officially joined the Hall of Valor.

After a few seconds of flickering vision, he found himself standing in a plaza. Nearby were several familiar faces, the same novices who had participated in the trials with him. They must have passed the standard trials.

Upon leaving the trial space, Sterl noticed that some of the communication functions on his panel had been restored. He received numerous private messages.

Briefly scanning through these messages, he saw that most were from players who admired, envied, or even resented him. After all, emerging victorious from the Extreme Trials was a testament to one's strength.

Sterl didn't hurry to reply to these messages. Instead, he began to plan his next steps. He needed to find a suitable secondary profession and quickly establish the guild. For him, time was a resource that had to be maximized.

Taking a deep breath, Sterl decided to contact the sisters first, instructing them to start collecting member information and preparing for the formation of the new guild. At the same time, he would secretly search for clues about a secondary profession to enhance his own strength.

"All efforts are for survival and becoming stronger in this brutal world," Sterl silently reminded himself.
