21 The Gathering of Heroes (1/2)

”Please wait.” A new voice called out, just as Southern Azuresword was about to make his exit. It was a group of players, led by a young male Elf leading them. Slung over his back was a bedazzling Chromatic longbow.

Happy Drunk (Phantom Marksman, Elf)

Attack Power: 258

Note: Vice Guildmaster of ”The Aristocrats.”

When Jiang Fei laid eyes on the Elf, he was surprised. Someone had actually obtained a Hidden Class on the third day of the game! Being lucky would be an understatement. This was divine intervention.

In the game, be it Profession players or combat Class players, there was a total of three different class tiers.

The first being the most common type. The type that NPCs handed out like free tissue. The second one would be Rare Classes. Rare Classes were stronger. However, they required particular means and methods to advance. The third would be the hardest to obtain. The Hidden Class. They were a special, exclusive, one-of-a-kind class. The illusive hidden instructors never made more than two appearances.

Hidden Classes were in a league of their own. Be it growth rate or skill trees, Hidden Class players would tower over their fellow players. With great power, came great challenges! Locating a Hidden Class instructor was like searching for a needle in a haystack! Even if you did, their questlines took exceptional skills and tenacity to complete!

Whenever a player managed to complete the Hidden Class quest, he or she would obtain the Class, as well as the Chromatic Evolving Equipment. A Chromatic Evolving Equipment would only increase with the player's own level. That was not all. The growth rate of a Chromatic Evolving Equipment would be equivalent to that of a Gold tier, Epic tier equipment!

There was no need to question the man. The bow that was glowing in multiple hues was enough proof for him to be a Hunter's Hidden Class! That bow on his back had the same power as a Level 15 Gold tier weapon. At that stage of the game, that could very well be the first ultimate weapon seen in public.

”What's up? What does the young master want with me?” asked Southern Azuresword, raising an eyebrow. Jiang Fei could not prove it, but he guessed that the two of them knew each other well.

”Hoho. Brother Azuresword, please don't be too courteous. Just call me Happy,” said Happy Drunk, with a smile of his face. The man was handsome, to begin with, and when he smiled ever so elegantly, all the girls in the area went ”kyaaa!”

”Hoho. How else am I supposed to treat the young master of Tianyu Enterprise? I'm afraid that I just can't allow myself to drop the honorifics!” said Southern Azuresword, as he turned his back to Happy Drunk. There were so many undertones and contradictions in that statement that Jiang Fei was now certain that these two shared some dark history.

The happy-go-lucky expression on the elf's face disappeared.

”Alright. I'll cut to the chase. Brother Azuresword has just bought off 300 sets of equipment. Isn't that just a little too much?”

”That's wrong! Brother Happy Drunk is right! Brother Azuresword, you better watch your back!”

This time, another large crowd came along.

…

One after another, multiple large group of players continued to show up. It was, after all, a first come first serve sale. Southern Azuresword had been faster than the rest, that was it.

”Old Daemon… You're here to help yourself as well?” Southern Azuresword hissed through his gritted teeth.
