Chapter 23: Hidden Profession Scroll

The sudden system announcement also startled Han Xing awake.

He saw a new Heroic Struggle effect on his status bar, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Impressive! It seems like everyone in District 107 are all night owls, staying up all night, that’s fierce!" Han Xing sincerely admired.

What he didn’t realize was that District 107’s achievement of the server’s top ranking was partly due to his own contribution.

While all human survivors were in a severe state of water shortage, Han Xing had defeated a Dark Elf Squad and cleverly outwitted a powerful demon, eventually discovering a large water source.

Although it was just a few hundred liters of water traded, when divided among thousands of people, it didn’t seem like much.

Yet, even this small amount revived their vitality and restored their fighting spirit.

With this experience, they became more aware of the necessity to actively explore Sky Island while in good condition to obtain more resources.

This was one of the reasons why District 107’s channel was leading other districts.

Han Xing immediately opened the regional territory points leaderboard.

Currently, the first-ranked person in the entire District 107 channel was impressively himself.

Rank 1: Star River, Territory Points 66.

Rank 2: Black Eagle, Territory Points 42.

Rank 3: Whisperer, Territory Points 35.

Rank 4: Papaya Star Spirit, Territory Points 32.

...

In the top 100, Han Xing’s personal territory points were far ahead, though the other survivors weren’t lacking either.

Those who made the list had at least double-digit territory points.

This meant they had experienced at least one or several battles and were gradually adjusting to the world’s rhythm.

"The leaderboard? What’s the reward?"

Han Xing looked at the leaderboard interface, and the next moment, the system prompt appeared again.

[Territory Points Leaderboard Rewards Updated.]

Rank 51-100, rewards: Food*10 units, Fresh Water*5 units, Spirit Core*100, Random Advanced Profession Scroll*1.

Rank 21-50, rewards: Food*20 units, Fresh Water*10 units, Spirit Core*200, Choose Green Weapon*1, Random Advanced Profession Scroll*1.

Rank 2 rewards: Food*200 units, Fresh Water*50 units, Spirit Core*1000, Choose Blue Weapon Design Map*1, Silver Treasure Chest*1, Choose Advanced Profession Scroll*1.

Han Xing was astonished by the rewards displayed above.

"Silver Treasure Chest and Blue Equipment have appeared, along with Advanced Profession Scrolls; these rewards likely will have many people clamoring for them!"

However, when he saw the first-place reward, his eyes widened instantly.

Rank 1 rewards: Food*500 units, Fresh Water*200 units, Spirit Core*1000, Choose Purple Weapon Design Map*1, Silver Treasure Chest*1, Hidden Profession Scroll*1.

He ignored the rewards before this, focusing solely on the last item.

Hidden Profession Scroll!

When Han Xing was choosing a profession, he’d already decided that his future goal was to switch to the hidden profession, Hunter.

Wild Ranger.

But currently, he hadn’t found any clues regarding the trigger conditions of this hidden profession.

According to Han Xing’s estimation, at least until he reached level eight or nine would he be able to tackle the Wild Ranger’s profession-switch mission.

But now, an opportunity appeared before him.

If he could achieve first place on the leaderboard, he wouldn’t need to bother finding the Wild Ranger’s trigger mission, and upon reaching level 10, he could directly switch to the powerful hidden profession!

In "Sky Island Paradise", no one knew how many hidden professions truly existed.

But since they were concealed, compared to other professions, they might not be necessarily stronger, but they certainly had their unique qualities.

In that instant, Han Xing’s desire to achieve first firmly took hold!

As the points rewards were updated, not only Han Xing saw the reward information, but other survivors also noticed the shocking first-place reward and were envious.

The chat channel was bustling at this moment.

"So many rewards! Even food and water are rewarded by units. Whoever enters the top hundred won’t have to worry about food and drink anymore!"

"Exactly, more importantly, there’s even an Advanced Profession Scroll!"

"I saw in the game interface description before that after reaching level 10, if one wants to break through, you’ll need these Advanced Profession Scrolls to become an Advanced Professional, and at that time, your strength will undergo a qualitative change; not only will attributes significantly increase, but you’ll also be able to learn more advanced skills!"

"By then, dealing with creatures under level 10 will be like a parent spanking a child!"

Upon hearing the introduction of advanced professions, many survivors showed a hopeful glimmer in their eyes.

"Gosh, the top ten all have blue weapon rewards, the top three even have a Silver Treasure Chest, that’s too tempting!"

"Indeed, if I could receive one of the top three rewards, I would be satisfied..."

Survivors of District 107 were all discussing the rewards for the top ten, but few were discussing the first-place reward, which was a strange phenomenon.

Finally, someone asked: "Why isn’t anyone talking about the first-place reward? That’s a Hidden Profession! And a Purple Weapon unprecedented so far!"

"Don’t even think about it, look who’s currently number one: our savior from District 107, Star River God!"

Vortex Potato: "That’s my dad! No one fight my dad for first place!"

...

Meanwhile, in District 107, several organizations at the initial stages of development began urgent discussion meetings.

’Divine Whisper’ discussion group.

"I’m sure everyone has seen it, the rewards for the top 100 are very tempting; if our Divine Whisper has several people in the top 100, basically, our survival issues will be resolved."

The speaker was the third-ranked figure on the leaderboard, Whisperer, who was of the Mage profession.

Whisperer continued: "Therefore, those who still have the strength must explore the clouds around them as much as possible, expand their territory."

"As for me, I’ll strive to catch up and maintain my third position; of course, first place is also my target, so I hope to receive your support..."

Other members responded: "Boss, just say what you need, your brothers will support you.’

"Exactly, support Whisperer Boss!"

...

Plane Boy Group discussion group.

"Stay energetic, our Plane Boy Group already has three people in the top 100, let’s try to get a few more!"

"We must ensure Papaya Star Spirit Boss secures a top ten position."

"Secure ten, aim for three, pursue one! Papaya Star Spirit Boss, we support you!"

...
