“Brothers, give it everything you’ve got! Hold them back and buy the Plant Grandmaster and the others some time!”
The solo players roared as one.
Everyone increased their output. They gulped down potions as if they were free, released their skills with precision, and squeezed every last bit of damage out of themselves.
At the very center, Chu Fu and the others were also doing everything they could to deal damage.
Chu Fu raised a bottle of poison and aimed it at the Goblin Divine Emissary.
“Have a taste of some vintage venom!”
Chu Fu had always carried a secondary weapon: the Poison Bottle. Normally, she used it to increase her attributes. No boss had ever been worth using up the poison she had accumulated inside it.
She had once considered saving the poison, extracting its materials to upgrade her talent, “A Little Too Poisonous.” But she also felt that it was one of her special trump cards, so she had never been willing to waste it.
Now, at last, it had found its purpose.
The poison poured from the bottle. Under the control of Poison Sprinkling, the venomous liquid instantly enveloped the Goblin Divine Emissary.
The moment its skin came into contact with the poison, it began to corrode. Toxic sores erupted across its body, leaving it covered in pus-filled boils.
The deadly poison caused the Goblin Divine Emissary’s health to plummet.
Not only that, it also inflicted a Defense Down effect that reduced its defense by 100% for a full five minutes.
“Fifteen minutes!” Feng Huimin shouted. “Hold on for fifteen minutes!”
Everyone launched into a frenzied assault.
Chu Fu repeatedly used Deadly Poison, then ignited it with Venomous Detonation, unleashing devastating damage.
Now that they knew their enemy’s methods, the Thorn Guild’s elite team suffered fewer and fewer deaths, while the enemy’s health continued to drop.
“Blasphemers! You should all die! You dare defile the gods? Sooner or later, we will exterminate every last one of you!”
When the Goblin Divine Emissary’s health fell to 10%, its escape mechanism was triggered.
But Jiao Jiao Isn’t Delicate and Lu An clung to it relentlessly.
Two minutes later, the Goblin Divine Emissary crashed to the ground.
A solemn female voice, unlike any they had ever heard before, echoed through their minds.
[You have cleared the dungeon: Servant of God (Origin).]
[Dungeon clear time: 5 hours, 12 minutes, 34 seconds.]
[All participating players may revive once for free. All players gain +1 level and +100 to all attributes.]
[The system will grant rewards based on each player’s performance in the dungeon. Rewards will be distributed automatically; no exchange is required.]
[Calculating rewards…]
“Ahhh! We won!”
The surviving players began to cheer.
“Don’t celebrate yet! Hurry—go help them!”
Everyone looked around.
Only three thousand players remained alive across the entire team, while five thousand goblins were still attacking them.
The players fighting alongside Chu Fu had truly been trading their lives for one enemy at a time.
With the system’s rewards, everyone gained 100 points to all attributes and received a free revival.
In an instant, another twenty thousand players joined the assault on the goblins.
Before long, all five thousand goblins had been wiped out.
The system also finished calculating the rewards.
The lavish prizes left everyone staring wide-eyed in disbelief as their strength skyrocketed.
“Ahhh! Oh my god! My talent has advanced to S-rank!”
“Holy crap! My ordinary class evolved into a special class!”
“Hahaha! I actually awakened a second talent! Isn’t this treatment supposed to be reserved for people with at least ten thousand contribution points?”
Everyone was stunned.
Chu Fu was stunned as well.
As the team’s strongest damage dealer, she was certain her rewards would be substantial. But she had never expected them to be this generous, and even she was left speechless.
[You have completed a glorious battle and made an enormous contribution!
[Your S-rank talent, Poisonous Human, has absorbed divine power and become the SS-rank talent, Poisonous Human.]
[Your special class, Poison Master, has absorbed divine power and can evolve into a hidden class. Please choose an evolution path!
1: Plague Spreader
2: Venomous Gu Crafter
3: Source of Voodoo
4: Seed of Calamity]
Each of the four options focused on a different aspect.
The Plague Spreader was extremely powerful and specialized in plagues. Its passive ability automatically inflicted a plague effect within a five-meter radius.
It was practically spreading disease at all times.
In the game, it might be an incredibly powerful class. But in the real world, she would become a walking pathogen.
Reality did not have a function that prevented friendly fire.
Chu Fu knew that the story contained an Ice Queen who radiated an aura of frost that inevitably froze anyone near her.
In the end, the person who fell in love with her could not endure the “cold violence” and broke up with her.
Chu Fu had an older brother and many friends. She had no desire to become a Plague Spreader.
The second class was more or less similar to a Gu crafter who refined insects through the sacrifice of a husband, only it was an advanced version.
But Chu Fu was somewhat afraid of bugs.
The third was even more outrageous.
Voodoo specialized in curses and the refinement of poisonous corpses. It could turn players or NPCs into powerful Poison Corpses for combat. It could even refine the user into a person whose entire body was filled with deadly poison.
Chu Fu had no desire to become a major villain, so she discarded that option immediately.
All of these classes were powerful, but their side effects were just as severe.
Chu Fu could only place her hopes in the final option. If she refused to choose, she had no idea whether the system would allow her to return the offer.
They were all terrible choices.
[Seed of Calamity:
Class Description: One who controls disaster and misfortune.
Class Trait 1: Skills you release have a chance to gain a 1–10-fold area-of-effect increase, transforming a minor skill into a great calamity.
Class Trait 2: All your enemies automatically suffer -10 Luck.]
That was absurdly powerful!
Chu Fu chose option four without the slightest hesitation.
[You have advanced to Seed of Calamity.]
[Your skills are evolving.]
[Deadly Poison → Poisonous Cataclysm.
Sluggishness → Mire Cataclysm.
Plague Spread +10 → Plague Cataclysm +10.
Corrosive Poison Barrier +10 → Black Death Cataclysm +10.
Soul Devouring, Return to the Void +10 → Soul-Erasing Cataclysm +10.
Poison Sprinkling and Poison Vein Eruption remain unchanged.
Additional awakened skills:
Seed of Cataclysm: Plants a seed of calamity in an enemy. Subsequent attacks will suddenly undergo catastrophic changes.
Seed of Misfortune: Plants a seed of misfortune in an enemy, causing bad luck to plague them and reducing their Luck by 20.
Calamity Rebound (Passive): You will never suffer from disasters or misfortune, and you reflect all bad luck and curses.]
What an incredibly powerful class!
Chu Fu loved it.
This time, her class had also gained a new attribute: misfortune!
That gave her three types of power: plants, poison, and misfortune.
What Chu Fu did not expect was that the system had not finished yet.
[The divine power you absorbed can activate a second class: Wood Mage. It can also advance into the hidden class Spirit of the Forest Sea. Do you agree? (Note: After activating a second class, the class will begin at level 1, and the experience required to level up will be doubled.)]
There was nothing to hesitate about.
Chu Fu agreed without a second thought.
The rewards were so generous that every player went wild.
At that moment, a horn sounded, and everyone felt a tremendous surge of power.
They all turned toward the person who had cast the skill.
Feng Huimin, who had always kept her emotions hidden, now had flushed cheeks, and her hands were trembling.
“Boss! Boss, my talent has advanced to S-rank, and my class has become a hidden class too!”
