Top game producer

A dwarf blacksmith shop recently opened in the southeast of the town, offering some very powerful equipment that far surpasses the shabby gear of the team members.

Mu Jinxia was incredibly envious, but the top-tier equipment cost several thousand gold coins, which they couldn't afford at the moment.

In the town square, besides a new notice posted on the stone pillar, the prices of healing potions, wheat flour, vegetables, and everything else in the shops had increased several times over!

Mu Jinxia's eyes widened: "Wow!"

After thinking about it, it must be due to the disaster affecting crop production, and she couldn't help but regret, "Ugh, I should have bought more medicine to stock up beforehand!"

Interacting with a shrine next to the Great River Temple, she discovered it was a place for job changes.

"Beside the river stands a sanctuary where offerings are made to the Great River Goddess Aikville. As you step inside, you sense an incredible atmosphere."

Mu Jinxia looked at the job change interface. There were four major types of classes: melee-oriented classes like Warrior and Knight, agility-based classes like Night Thief, Archer, and Relic Hunter, magic-based classes like Magician, Warlock, and Bard, and justice-representing classes like Priest and Exorcist.

Any class could be chosen, but there were different levels of suitability depending on one's background. The protagonist was a disciple of a Sage, so several magic-based classes only required 2 SP to change to, while changing to Warrior cost a whopping 8 SP.

Mu Jinxia found this design quite interesting: "If someone is bored enough, they could even try to accumulate SP and try playing a melee mage or a fireball rogue, but it would definitely be useless."

She looked at the magic-based classes.

Warlock: One who uses the power of darkness and the power originating from the darkness in people's hearts. Excels in dark and lightning spells.

Siphon, who she fought in the tavern earlier, was a Warlock. This class has very strong single-target attack spells, and can provide a certain chance of control while dealing damage.

Bard: One who travels between towns and has mastered the magic of nature. Excels in spells that inflict abnormal statuses.

From the description, it seemed to be a class that provides positive buffs to the team or inflicts various negative effects on enemies through chanting poems, just like the Sleep Song skill used in the battle against the Deathbird earlier.

Magician: A seeker of mysterious knowledge, excels in fire magic.

The old Sage was probably this class. The scene of him using a Flame Projection to instantly kill a group of goblins at the door of his hut left a deep impression on Mu Jinxia.

In short, it was all about being aggressive!

She finally set her sights on the Magician, and smiled, "I've decided, I'll change to Magician! Throw the biggest fireballs and deal the most damage!"

Mia became a Magician!

HP+0, MP+2

Attack -2, Defense -2, Magic +4, Speed +0

Learned Ghost Fire! Learned Firefly!

The attributes after the job change undoubtedly leaned towards more extreme output, which was quite in line with Mu Jinxia's wishes.

The two newly acquired skills, Ghost Fire, dealt much more damage than the basic spell Arrow Curse, while Firefly was a spell that could be used as a substitute for an oil lamp for lighting.

Behind the temple, near the cliff by the sea, was a cemetery enclosed by a wooden fence.

The environment here was quiet and peaceful. An old oak tree with many years of history and lush foliage stood in the center of the cemetery. The sea breeze blew, the leaves swayed, rustling. It was like a silent wise man, silently witnessing the births, deaths, and illnesses of the town.

Around the periphery of the cemetery, there were several rows of neat tombstones, which looked much newer than the ones inside.

Mu Jinxia guessed: "The owners of these tombstones must be the victims of the night attack, right?"

The sound of a flute in her ears, as if played by a naive shepherd boy, revealed a faint sadness and lingering feelings of longing.

A bouquet of elegant white flowers was placed on a tombstone. A woman in a long dress stood quietly in front of the tombstone, her eyes gazing into the distance, as if reminiscing about something. Undoubtedly, she also had relatives and friends who died in the sudden disaster a few months ago.

Mu Jinxia quietly stopped to listen to the flute music for a while before choosing to talk to the woman in the long dress.

"My parents are both buried here..." The woman in the long dress sighed, revealing a hopeful look, "I hope you can explore the cause of the disaster and help the town regain peace. Please do your best."

Obtained Superior Healing Medicine ×2!

"Looking at her expectant eyes, my heart feels heavy!"

"The cemetery by the coast actually has a special kind of beauty. The music isn't very sad, but it makes you feel the pain the town has suffered..."

"I can't refuse such a request."

After leaving the cemetery, Mu Jinxia couldn't help but praise again: "I have to say, the game's music is really good. The music in each scene is very fitting."

After exploring all the newly appeared locations in the town and replenishing supplies, she came to the underground cave outside the town again.

There was a crack in the pyramid that people could pass through, leading to an unknown place.

A manga cutscene appeared.

After the protagonist and her party squeezed in, they found that the interior was a spiral staircase leading downwards.

After descending along the rope ladder at the exit, they arrived at an even deeper level underground.

From the footprints left on the floor with mud and water, it could be seen that many adventurers and soldiers had already entered here to explore.

"You descend from the rope ladder and arrive in a square stone chamber. The air here is still humid.

There are several footprints left by boots on the floor, and there are different entrances to the east and south."

The artificial traces here were very obvious. The surroundings were stone chambers, seemingly an ancient ruin.

Mu Jinxia lit the lantern and began to explore.

Some of the stone chambers were locked, and there were three ways to unlock them: lock picking, smashing, and magic key.

Lock picking required a thief in the party to attempt, with a basic success rate of 50%. If the surroundings were bright, the success rate could be increased by 10%.

Smashing required someone in the party to have the 'Strength' passive, but not only was the success rate low, but if the unlocking failed, the trap would definitely be triggered.

[Who should try?]

Mu Jinxia said: "Paris, you try it!"

Paris fiddled with it for a long time, but still couldn't open the lock, muttering, "Tch, this lock is a bit troublesome..."

"Lock picking is a thief's specialty, your skills are not good!" Mu Jinxia shook her head, "Nilu, you try it!"

"Leave it to me! Ya-hey!" Nilu gave a light shout, and slammed down with a stick, the seemingly sturdy lock directly broke into two pieces, and even the door flew out, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Nilu cutely waved her fist: "Yay, it's a success!"

"Oh my god, it's really super strength."

"Physical lock picking is still more convenient."

In the corner of the long-abandoned stone chamber, there was a treasure chest, covered with a thick layer of dust and broken spider webs. Opening the treasure chest, there was a set of simple armor and a short sword inside. It seemed that this might have been where an ancient soldier lived.
