Chapter 36
Zach was sitting on his bed and looking outside the window. It was night, but he couldn"t sleep because he was feeling homesick.
Homesickness finally triggered Zach after spending two nights in the game. The first night, he was tired after clearing ten dungeon floors, and he was exhausted on the second night after clearing 25 floors with Aurora. On both nights, he fell asleep as soon as he placed his b.u.t.t on the bed, but today he couldn"t.
He wasn"t as tired as he was the past two nights, and he had too much time to reminisce about his home.
He wanted to go back home, but he needed to beat the game first. He regretted agreeing to play the VR game, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn"t blame himself, nor the circ.u.mstances.
"SIGH!" He sighed and got up from the bed. He walked to the window and leaned on the ledge to enjoy the mind-blowing scenery of the night sky.
"What should I do now?" he wondered.
Today, Zach cleared the first 20 floors of the towers with Aurora, but the rewards were "meh" to him.
Just like how every 5th floor was the boss floor in a dungeon, the tower had the same, but the monsters dropped chests in the tower. The rewards on the chest depended on the cla.s.ses and levels of the player.
They got a bronze dagger on the fifth floor, which was useless for both Zach and Aurora. Upon clearing the 10th floor, they got armor that increased the defense by +30.
Zach wasn"t interested in wearing armor as it decreased his Agility and quick moves. So he gave it to Aurora, but she didn"t want it either.
They got a wooden staff on the 15th floor, which could only be used by a healer. Aurora already had a bronze staff which she had bought from the weapon shop. And Zach was going to change his cla.s.s soon.
They got a bronze sword on the 20th floor, which could be used by a swordsman. Zach"s primary cla.s.s was a cultivator, so he couldn"t equip the sword. Even when he tried to hold it, the game didn"t register it.
Zach found it weird since he was able to equip Aurora"s gold rank sword to complete his quest. But then he learned that there were two types of weapons in this game. One where the weapon could only be used by the respective cla.s.ses and could not be equipped by the players of other cla.s.ses. And the other one was where any cla.s.ses would equip any weapon, but the non-cla.s.s players wouldn"t be able to use the weapon skill and increased ATK.
In other words, there was no weapon Zach could use, so he needed to find himself a suitable weapon for his cla.s.s. And the only way to do that was to summon the magic shop.
"There is no point in summoning the magic shop right now."
Summoning a magic shop cost 500 magic shop points. Zach had 500 magic shop points which he got after completing the quest. But what would he do after summoning a magic shop?
Unlike the regular shop where players could buy stuff using the coins, which were equivalent to real-world money, the magic shop"s currency was magic shop points and runes which could only be obtained by completing the quests.
Zach had 100 Royal grade jade runes, which he thought weren"t enough to buy something useful.
"I don"t know where I will get a quest to earn magic shop points again, so I don"t want to make a rookie mistake where I use all my fortune and regret later on. Not in this game, at least— where one small mistake can make one cry."
However, Zach planned to summon the magic shop before ascending to the first realm. He needed a strong weapon for future battles.
40% of the total players were still thinking of G.o.ds" impact as a prank— including Shay, and that"s why they spent their time fooling around. While the majority of the other 60% of players were convinced of the G.o.ds" impact, and they were trying their best to beat the game.
Zach was feeling annoyed and frustrated for some reason. He jumped on the bed and rolled for a few minutes to calm himself down, but it got worse.
Suddenly, he stopped when he remembered that 24 hours had pa.s.sed since he used Aria"s blessings, and now he could change his cla.s.s.
He immediately opened his menu to change his cla.s.s, but he noticed something interesting.
" What are these cla.s.ses?" Zach muttered.
There was a cla.s.s that he had never heard of.
"Crafter…" Zach furrowed his brows and wondered, "Isn"t that an NPC exclusive cla.s.s?"
Indeed, it was an NPC exclusive cla.s.s, but Aria"s blessing allowed him to access the cla.s.s.
"Should I try it?" Zach was curious, but he wasn"t sure whether he could change his secondary cla.s.s to Crafter or not.
"If I change, I wouldn"t be able to change back for the next 24 hours…" Curiosity got the best of Zach, and he ended up selecting the crafter cla.s.s as his secondary cla.s.s.
«Cla.s.s- Crafter. Can be upgraded after qualifying for the next condition.»
"At least, show the conditions…" Zach muttered.
At first, Zach didn"t notice any change or benefit of his new cla.s.s. But a strange idea crossed his mind.
"No way that"s going to work, right?" he asked himself. "But it"s worth trying."
Zach was unaware of the fact that his "strange idea" was going to bring a revolution to the G.o.ds" impact using his crafter cla.s.s.
