[Passive Skill: Critical Thinking]

[C reward + 10,000 Survival Points]

Both options presented to Alan were extensions of his existing [Scholar] job class, and while they had their merits, neither truly piqued his interest.

The first choice, the [Crafter] job class, offered a special skill called [Deft Hand], which could significantly enhance the quality and statistics of items he crafted. For example, it could result in weapons with increased damage output or armor with superior defensive properties. It had the potential to make him a master craftsman, capable of producing top-tier equipment. It had the potential to make him a master craftsman, capable of producing top-tier equipment, but it didn't align with the unique skill set and goals he had in mind.

The second option, the [Strategist] job class, came with the passive skill [Critical Thinking]. This skill was more oriented toward problem-solving and planning. It would undoubtedly be useful for executing complex tasks like operating heavy machinery or defusing explosives, improving the success rate of such actions. While it held potential for tackling various challenges in the game, it didn't cater to Alan's vision for his character's development.

Alan had been expecting the third option, not an advanced job class but a higher level one, a special job class. When it finally appeared, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

[Detecting potential Special job class]

[Job Name: Inventor]

[Type: Special]

[Intelligence + 1, Perception + 1, Agility + 1]

[Passive Skill: Research & Development]

[Increases the success rate for any intelligence-based task and crafting quality by up to 30%]

[Prerequisites: Intelligence C, Scholar Job class, Expert in Science]

[C reward + 10,000 Survival Points]

The job class that Alan decided to take, the [Inventor], was a unique combination of the benefits from both the advanced job classes he had been presented with earlier. What made it special was his possession of unique science skills, which set him apart from other players and qualified him for this exceptional path.

He had initially chosen the [Inventor] job class during his second year at level 70 when he began to comprehend the advantages of crafting. However, he felt he had started crafting a little late into the game. Now, he intended to change that by diving into crafting early on in the next round, with an ultimate goal in mind.

Though the [Knight] job class was tempting, as it would be immensely useful for the upcoming round, Alan had set his sights on a more ambitious objective.

As the beautiful NPC instructed, Alan positioned himself on an individual platform, ready to receive his new job class. Once inside the platform, a notification popped up on his game bracelet. The platform beneath him began to glow brightly, and an electrifying sensation surged through his body. Shortly after, another notification appeared.

[Congratulations, You are now an Inventor]

[Intelligence: C] +1 [C > C+]

[Perception: D-] +1 [D- > D]

[Agility: C] +1 [C > C+]

[You learned a new Passive skill -R&D]

Exiting the place with a new sense of purpose and excitement, the group couldn't help but feel invigorated, especially Victoria, who had just received her first Job Class as a Knight. She beamed with pride and said, "You should all call me Lady Victoria!" Her enthusiasm was contagious, and the group couldn't help but chuckle and oblige her request.

As they began discussing Alan's plan, Vicky intervened, insisting that they make a pit stop at the bar across the street before going anywhere else. "Wait, you're not going anywhere without going there first!" She pointed at the local pubs, and the idea seemed to ignite a spark of anticipation among the group.

"Let's go, Mister D!" Daniel eagerly joined in, clearly excited by the prospect. The entire group had just concluded a grueling 14-day battle, and the idea of relaxing with a refreshing drink held immense appeal.

As they entered the bar, an NPC bartender was quick to assist them, taking their orders for various beverages – beers, whisky, rums, and a glass of milk for Izzie. Vicky generously announced, "Lady Victoria is buying! Order anything you want!"

With their drinks in hand, they gathered and raised their glasses in a toast.

"Cheers, Lady Victoria!"

The atmosphere was buzzing with the joy of the moment. As they indulged in their drinks, the group's spirits soared, and they began to light up the palace with music and dancing. The celebratory vibe drew the attention of other players, and soon the place was teeming with more players who recognized them as the Wolverines militia. The gathering evolved into an impromptu Wolverines celebration, as players from various backgrounds joined in the revelry.

An hour flew by, and the palace was now brimming with life. Several dozen Wolverine members had gathered, filling the venue with vibrant energy. The final group to arrive was the Crafter team, led by Marie, Shamus, and Gus, along with their crew. The two Russian farmers also made their entrance, adding to the festivities.

As the day progressed, the bills for the substantial number of orders began to pile up, causing Vicky to grow increasingly concerned. However, before the bartender could note the orders, Alan reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, I'm paying today." His gentlemanly gesture was met with a beaming smile from Vicky, who promptly looped her arm through his. Yet, as soon as he settled the bill, Alan announced, "Enjoy the party." It appeared that he had other plans.

Vicky, taken aback, exclaimed, "Where are you going? The party won't be the same without the leader!" Alan proceeded to explain that he had a prior arrangement in place with Bill and the Crafter team. Vicky, not one to be left behind, promptly declared, "Okay, the party is over. I'm leaving too." The rest of the group followed suit as Alan led them towards the busiest street, where the huge item shops were.

With a subtle nod from Alan, Bill took the lead and began to shout enthusiastically,

"Items on sale! Items on sale! Swords, armor, come and buy at our Wolverines shop!!"
