Li Mu took a deep breath and walked into the temple.
At this moment, space had cleared in front of the statue of the Goddess on the altar.
He checked the game system's class-change tutorial and approached the statue of the Goddess.
Calming his excited heart, Li Mu kneeled on one knee, and following the guidelines of the tutorial, earnestly recited:
"Praise Mother Nature, praise the Goddess of Life, praise the great ruler of Elves—Eve Yuketrahill!"
As his words ended, the statue burst into a dazzling light that engulfed him.
Li Mu's consciousness blurred momentarily, and he found himself back at the character creation scene.
[Ding—]
[Class change ceremony initiated, your current career field is "Spellcaster," please choose your new class]
[This class change will consume: 10,000 experience points and 200 contribution points]
[As this is your first class change, you will be given a chance for a cross-field class change. After a successful class change, your level will be directly raised to 11 (Black Iron Lower)]
[After the class change, you will receive a blessing from the Goddess and gain an additional class skill]
[After the first class change, all subsequent class changes will lock the career field and you will no longer be able to change fields, please choose wisely]
With the pleasant sound of the system, Li Mu received the class-change prompt.
"Cross-field class change?"
A thought struck Li Mu.
He looked closely and quickly understood that this was designed for players who didn't like their current class and allowed for a change from power-based classes to spellcasting classes and vice versa.
"Hehe, the developers sure are considerate."
Li Mu remarked.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he checked the classes available for class change.
There were a total of six classes available.
The power-based classes for class change were Archer, Warrior, and Hunter; their development directions were ranged burst and sniping, melee output and tank, and stealth tracking and assassination, respectively.
For spellcaster classes, the options were Druid, Mage, and Priest; their development directions were support control and output, ranged output and magic creation, and support healing and protection, respectively.
Li Mu was quite satisfied with being a spellcaster, so he didn't plan to switch to a power-based class but instead looked at the three spellcaster classes.
He didn't quite like the burst output role and wasn't interested in rune inscription and magic item creation either, so he ruled out the Mage class.
Though the Priest class was on the list for class changes, Li Mu noticed that this class was temporarily closed for class-changing, leaving only one choice remaining—
"Class change to Druid."
He confirmed.
His role was to be a team leader, and control and support skills suited him best, and the versatile Druid had an advantage in this area, making it the obvious choice.
Not only that, but the skills he already owned, "Entangling Vines" and "Light Wound Healing," were also Druid skills.
[Confirm: Class change to Druid]
[Class change commencing]
Upon Li Mu's confirmation, the game system instantly deducted 10,000 experience points and 200 contribution points, and a gentle divine power immediately enveloped him...
Li Mu once again felt the comfortable sensation of gaining power, his five senses heightened even further, his sensitivity to magic power, especially towards nature, became more acute...
Seconds later, the class change was complete, and Li Mu eagerly checked his character card—
[Name: Li Mu]
[Race: Elf]
[Class: Druid]
[Level: 11 (Black Iron Lower)]
[Experience: 0/30000]
[Health Points: 1500/1500]
[Magic Points: 2000/2000]
[Attributes: Physique (150), Strength (100), Agility (100), Magic Power (200)]
[Skills: Wound Healing (Tier 1), Vine Surgery (Tier 1), Whisper of Nature (Tier 1)]
[Title: Goblin Slayer]
...
All attributes had doubled! And his physique had strengthened as well!
Li Mu's heart leaped with joy.
Not only that, but his two skills, Heal Minor Wounds and Entangling Vines, had both leveled up, becoming first-tier new spells!
And beyond these two spells, he also gained a new skill: Nature's Whisper.
Li Mu checked and found that this skill allowed him to communicate with plants and animals to gather information.
"I'm going to sprint non-stop down the support path!"
Li Mu chuckled.
Beyond the three skills, he discovered he had two more skill slots to fill.
A Black Iron Lower professional could master a total of five skills.
[Class Change Successful]
The system's voice rang out again, light engulfed Li Mu, and he left the class change space...
His vision changed, and Li Mu found himself still standing in front of a statue.
[Ding——]
[Player has reached level 11, unlocking subsequent features——]
[Exchange feature has been unlocked]
[Friends feature has been unlocked]
[Guild feature has been unlocked]
These three features are common in online games, and naturally, the Goddess had already prepared them in the system.
Li Mu skipped the last two and eagerly checked the exchange feature.
[Exchange Feature: Consume contribution points to exchange for equipment, skills, reset class change opportunities, perfect resurrection times, disguise opportunities, etc. Contribution points can be traded among players.]
Looking at this feature, Li Mu stroked his chin.
It seems this is the Elf Kingdom's game store; maybe in the future, topping up would mean charging contribution points.
He opened the exchange interface...
At this moment, the items available for exchange were still quite limited.
Li Mu skimmed the rest, first locating the skills exchange interface.
All his current skills were support types; it would be best to have an attack skill for self-defense.
"Thorn Spell, Strength of the Ox, Grace of the Cat..."
At a glance, Li Mu saw many interesting skills, but when he saw the contribution points required for them...
"The least expensive skill costs 2000 contribution points?!"
He swallowed hard.
He only had 100 points left, far from enough...
"No, I must hurry and do quests, find a way to earn more contribution points!"
Li Mu shook his head, feeling a sense of urgency.
All players are OCD; when they see their skill bars aren't full, they can't wait to fill them up.
Then, he curiously clicked on the equipment interface...
In an instant, a dozen items framed in purple caught his eye.
"Holy shit! Purple epic equipment!"
Refurbished by Eve Yoctrahill, the Half-Beast equipment, regardless of actual quality, all looked exceedingly good. Even though Li Mu wasn't strength-based, his eyes lit up.
"Beast Head Half Armor, Refined Scimitar... And they're even limited in quantity, tsk tsk, are they limited editions? So expensive... The least goes for 5000 contribution points... How long will that take to grind?"
"Eh? There's even a Devil's Wand! Holy shit! It's gold! Gold legendary equipment!"
Li Mu's eyes were fixated.
The wand was the Devil Wood that Eve had removed the Treasure Bead from; after breaking the seal, the Devil Wood was damaged.
However, Eve still spent 0.05 Divine Power to recycle the waste, remolding it into Black Iron grade legendary equipment named: Devil's Wand.
Li Mu was immediately drawn to it.
But when his gaze shifted to the required contribution points...
"64800 contribution points?"
He was slightly stunned.
Taking a deep breath, Li Mu clutched his liver:
"Not good, my liver hurts..."
