Zhao Yunxiao was taken aback.

She was surprised by the forthrightness of Song Chaoyue.

She subconsciously glanced at Zheng Cheng.

Then she immediately understood.

Under normal circumstances, apart from those who come from big families, or those professionists who had been courted by powerful forces in advance, especially the newly born professionists.

Their first reaction when learning that the Night Watchmen were recruiting would be to agree right away.

As government officials, they have generous benefits, bright future prospects, and the guidance of their predecessors, saving them many years of detours.

Everyone is eager to join.

Especially for common professionists without any background or connections.

Zhao Yunxiao glanced at Zheng Cheng, who wore a helpless expression.

I’m an exception, why are you looking at me?

“You’re a smart girl,” Zhao Yunxiao said. “Your identity issue will be resolved by the Night Watchmen, don’t worry.”

“But from today onwards, until your identity is fully confirmed, you can’t go anywhere, understand?”

The identity problem Zhao Yunxiao referred to is the reason why she didn’t awaken a profession on her Awakening Day.

Rather, it was half a month later when she suddenly awakened to a profession.

This is very important for both Song Chaoyue and other students.

If others find out that Song Chaoyue inherited the profession of the Dark Sun Lord, it will definitely cause a sensation!

Song Chaoyue hesitated, “What about my professionist joint entrance exam?”

Zhao Yunxiao made a final judgement, “You can only apply to local professional colleges in Chang’an City!”

“This… alright then.”

Song Chaoyue asked cautiously again, “Can I go to the Alien Battlefield?”

“Yes,” said Zhao Yunxiao. “But you must be accompanied by a Night Watchman member who is a rank higher than yours, and you can’t move freely!”

“I understand.”

“Good, next, we need to assign you the next task…”

“There’s more tasks?”

Zhao Yunxiao hadn’t finished speaking when Zheng Cheng asked unconsciously.

“Don’t worry, this task will also bring great benefits to all of you.”

“What benefits?”

“The other day, Captain Meng Fusheng discovered a newborn secret realm while he was assisting the magic crystal mine!”

“Your task is to conquer this newborn secret realm!”

“A newborn secret realm!” Zheng Cheng exclaimed, “What is that?”

Zhao Yunxiao hesitated, but seeing the puzzled eyes of Zheng Cheng and Song

Chaoyue, she understood.

These three kids all came from ordinary families.

Some secrets about the professionists, they have no way of knowing.

“Normally, you would only know about the secret realms after you’ve entered the professional college.”

“But now that you have the opportunity, let me tell you in advance.”

“Follow me!”

After saying that, she led the three of them into the office.

She turned on the computer, searched for several minutes, and quickly opened a video.

Zhao Yunxiao also explained from the side:

“The so-called secret realm, is formally known as ‘Opportunity Secret Realm’!”

Along with Zhao Yunxiao’s narration, various animations appeared on the projector.

They were a series of light rings, completely different from the entrance of replica, varying in size, color, and shape.

“They were originally small worlds or micro worlds attached to the main material world, but they collided with the main material world for unknown reasons.”

“And merged with it, randomly opening entrances in different areas of the main material world.”

“They vary in size, and each has its own set of rules.”

“The smallest secret realms might only be the size of a room.”

“But a super-large secret realm can span an area almost equivalent to a large country!”

As Zhao Yunxiao explained, various images of different secret realms began to appear on the screen.

There were deserts, dense forests, and deep seas, with a variety of environments and a diversity of species.

These videos were precious footages captured by pioneer professionists.

“These small realms are very unstable and could collapse at any moment.”

“But within them, there are hordes of monsters, treasures, and extraordinary natural items.”

“Not to mention, different world rules…

Yao Zhixue suddenly asked: “Sister Yunxiao, what’s the difference between these secret realms and instances?”

Zhao Yunxiao paused the video, thought for a moment, then said:

“They seem similar to instances, but essentially, they are completely different.”

“Instances are a type of game mechanic born from the fusion of this world with others, under the influence of the universal laws and rules from those different worlds.’

“Random instance entrances would often appear on various parts of the map.”

“These instances do not have entry limits, and professionists can enter them indefinitely. As long as they are willing to spend the time and effort, they could potentially get the equipment or materials they want from these instances.”

“As a result of the creation of instances, villages, towns, and even cities would invariably form around the entrances to the instances.”

“All born as a result of the instances!”

“For instance, our current location, Weihe Town, was formed in this way!”

“The prosperity of Weihe Town is due to the three different level instance entrances in its vicinity.”

“In comparison to instances, secret realms are far rarer, and fundamentally completely different. ”

As Zhao Yunxiao continued, she said: “Firstly, instances limit the number of professionists allowed in at once, it cannot exceed a certain amount.”

“For example, the Fire Mouse Cave instance around Weihe Town, only allows a maximum of five people.”

“Secret realms, like instances, also have entry limits. However, secret realms also have an entry order.”

“Once the first group enters, no one else is able to enter, they can only wait outside.”

“Either wait for the proceeding team to clear the instance or until they are wiped out, only then can the next team enter!”

“Of course, both instances and secret realms have level restrictions.’

Zhao Yunxiao took a sip of water, then continued:

“Secondly, the number of times that one can enter an instance is unlimited, you can enter as many times as you wish.”

“But for a secret realm, as long as a professionist completes the main task within it, that secret realm will disappear!”

“That means, a secret realm is a consumable mini-world with a one-time entry!”

“So, whenever any information about a secret realm appears, it immediately triggers a frenzy among the surrounding professionists.”

“Virtually all professionists wish to enter these realms for training and to reap the many benefits.”

“Thirdly, instance entrances are permanent. Except when there are major disasters or conflicts that affect a large area, only then would an instance entrance disappear or collapse.”

“However, the existence of a secret realm entrance is dependent on its difficulty level.’

“The most common secret realms only last for ten days. Once those ten days are up, its entrance will disappear!”

“If a professionist enters a secret realm and fails to complete the main task, or for some reason cannot exit, they will be lost in the secret realm forever!”

“A new common secret realm will disappear after ten days, regardless of whether it has been conquered by professionists.”

“On the other hand, those at the nightmare or even hell difficulty level can exist for several months or even years, waiting to be conquered by the strong!”

Zheng Cheng then asked: “So according to Captain Yunxiao’s explanation, are there also different difficulty levels for secret realms?”

“Indeed.”

Zhao Yunxiao said: “Apart from this, secret realms can also be divided into different types based on their respective attributes!”

“Unique treasures and extraordinary natural items can be found in each type of secret realm!”

“Those treasures and extraordinary natural items are unattainable or extremely rare in the outside world or instances.”

“They are the treasures that all professionists chase in their dreams!”

Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but ask: “What are these things that you say are so precious?”

Zhao Yunxiao laughed: “Take for instance the simplest type of treasures.. Wouldn’t you consider special fruits or foods that can permanently increase a professionist’s four-dimension attributes as precious?”
