Chapter 51: Professional Secret Manual

After cutting down the BOSS, Lu Cang did not immediately move over to collect the loot.

Instead, he sought out Luo Si and Meizer to pour them restoration potions.

A recovery potion worth 2 gold.

It could heal very severe injuries and was considered a divine medicine for Level 3 adventurers.

He then administered dispelling, purification, and awakening potions.

In about half a minute, the two of them opened their eyes one after another.

They opened their eyes, looked around, and were initially filled with terror.

But with their second glance, they saw Lu Cang standing beside them.

His familiar, cheerful smile.

"You're awake."

Meizer was still a bit dazed. "Captain?"

"Why are you here?"

Luo Si also pressed her head. "I remember, we encountered a Monarch-class..."

Her memories suddenly connected!

The memories before losing consciousness surged up!

They had encountered a Monarch-class monster and had been captured by it!

Then, they had fallen into unconsciousness.

Being captured by a Monarch-class monster was no different from death.

But now, she... was perfectly fine?

Luo Si looked at her hands.

No... there were actually still many scars on her body.

Luo Si raised her hand, and a light of healing enveloped the two of them; the fine scars on their bodies began to recover rapidly.

In truth, even if she hadn't healed them, these injuries would have quickly fully recovered under the effect of Lu Cang's 2-gold restoration potions.

"Lu Cang, did you save us?"

"Yeah, it was me."

Lu Cang, of course, did not deny it.

Luo Si looked around at the environment. "Should we... run right now?"

"No need to run. I killed it."

*Pfft—*

Hearing Lu Cang's blunt answer, Luo Si burst out laughing.

She had just been thinking that since they were clearly still inside the dungeon, if the Monarch-class monster was still around, they should run as fast as possible.

As expected...

The Blood Source Monarch really had been killed by him.

Luo Si asked, "What about the others?"

"The others? It's just me."

...

"Wait?"

"Just you?"

Meizer: "Huh?"

"I was passing by the Adventurers' Guild and saw your names on the missing persons list, so I rushed over."

"I didn't have time to call the others."

This answer left the two of them slightly stunned.

They could imagine that Lu Cang had the strength to kill a Monarch-class monster, but they hadn't expected him to come alone.

After all, Lu Cang had always been cautious.

In the ten days they had spent together, they had already witnessed the extent of his caution.

Even if his strength was a hundred times greater than his enemy's, he would still maintain a prudent and humble posture when facing an opponent.

Entering a dungeon alone was definitely not something Lu Cang would do.

To him... he should have at least brought a Defender and a Healer.

"Just you, alone, killed the Blood Source Monarch?"

"If it was just one person, who went to sever its connection to the blood pool?"

Lu Cang blinked. "Sever the connection to the blood pool... what does that mean?"

...

Silence fell once again.

"The Blood Source Monarch is connected to the massive blood pool outside."

"To kill it, you must sever its blood supply; otherwise, it can continuously recover through the blood pool."

With the blood pool providing supply, the Blood Source Monarch was almost completely invincible.

"Did you... really not sever the connection to the blood pool?"

Lu Cang gave a helpless, wry smile. "I really didn't know what that was."

*No way?*

*You actually killed it through brute force?*

*Brother Lu Cang, are you... really human?*

If saying Lu Cang could take down a Monarch-class monster was understandable, then killing it through brute force without following any mechanics was beyond the scope of their cognition.

Lu Cang: "Meizer, can you help collect the loot?"

"Oh, okay!"

"No problem at all, leave it to me."

Having had his life saved, Meizer naturally wouldn't bring up trivial matters like asking for payment.

Meizer went toward the Great Blood Sacrifice Hall.

He looked down a few times. "It seems there isn't much for me to collect..."

A set of armor lying on the ground.

And five translucent, round blood beads.

These blood beads did not scatter like ordinary blood; instead, they maintained a permanent spherical appearance.

"I'll go check over there."

Meizer possessed the skill [Material Sensing], which allowed him to sense valuable items nearby.

This was also an advantage of being a Gatherer.

With that, he walked toward the throne.

Passing the altar, he climbed onto the throne...

And as soon as he climbed up, his teeth began to chatter.

"This!"

"This, this..."

Meizer's voice became unsteady.

"Did you find something?"

Lu Cang placed the armor and blood beads into his storage space, used a gust of wind to gently blow himself over, and arrived by his side.

Meizer picked up a blood-colored scroll.

"A Secret Scroll."

Lu Cang: "A Secret Scroll?"

"Yeah... a Class Change Secret Scroll."

Meizer: "Ancient classes, forbidden classes, classes not circulated in the world, unique classes lost to time..."

"They might appear in the form of Secret Scrolls."

"Some classes are strictly forbidden from class changing... like the Death Priest, who uses life as a sacrifice to summon demons and bestow curses; the criteria for every promotion is to kill more people."

"The Skin Snatcher, who kills enemies to take their skins to obtain their appearance, skills, and even talents, possessing multiple faces; their promotion criteria are basically centered around mass slaughter and skin-stealing."

"Then there are the Level 3 Doomsday Prophets, who prophesy the coming of the end and practice it on the path of leveling up; at Level 3, they realize the apocalypse... they are all extremely evil, eerie classes that harm the world."

Indeed, it sounded quite terrifying.

Lu Cang could understand the reasons why these classes were forbidden.

"Some classes are Ancient Classes."

"The classification of classes in ancient times was different from our modern era. There was no such thing as a Machinist in ancient times, but they had classes like Berserkers and Dragon Knights... these are now lost, but they can also appear as Secret Scrolls."

"Then there are classes like Thieves, Assassins, and Frauds... these are not allowed to circulate in the world because their principles would jeopardize order and peace."

Lu Cang asked in confusion, "Are Assassins and Killers different?"

Meizer answered seriously, "They are different. Assassins are permitted by law..."

*Heh.* Lu Cang caught on.

So there was even power struggle involved?

"The rest are long-lost classes. For these types of classes, only one person can ever possess them."

"For example: Sword Saint, Prophet, Reborn... however, I've heard that these classes can only be changed if specific conditions are met; even if you possess the corresponding Secret Scroll, you cannot complete the

"I've been a Gatherer for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a Secret Scroll."

"What class is this Secret Scroll for?" Lu Cang asked.

Meizer shook his head. "You need to identify it to know."

"But if you take it to sell," Meizer swallowed a bit of saliva.

"It should be worth at least 300,000 gold coins. If it's a more precious precious class, it will only be more, not less... it could even be in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions."

Hearing this quote, even Lu Cang was stunned.

*That's too much?*

"Meizer, this Secret Scroll is yours."

Saying that, he stuffed the

"Captain, this Secret Scroll is yours."

Saying that, he stuffed the Secret Scroll into Lu Cang's hands and turned his head away, refusing to look back.

Otherwise, he was truly afraid he would give in to greed.
