Chapter 138 It Doesn't Matter, I'll Take Action!"
Alan thought Tranquil Zen Master had the right idea.
Tranquil Zen Master wasn't a saint. Avoiding danger and staying safe made the most sense.
Sometimes, survival was the top priority.
In a crisis, if you knew you could save someone, go for it. But if it meant risking your life, was it worth it?
Yeah, it was.
As a small-time thug Alan knew in his past life used to say, "You're not my kid. I don't owe you anything."
Honestly, Alan disliked those who preached morality but bailed when things got tough or betrayed their friends to save themselves more than he disliked Tranquil Zen Master.
Tranquil Zen Master avoided danger but never did anything wrong. He just wanted to avoid unnecessary risks.
Tranquil Zen Master said to Alan, "Ice King, you're probably the strongest in our server now. I need your help with something."
Alan didn't agree right away. He replied, "What's in it for me?"
Tranquil Zen Master didn't mind the question and pulled out a card.
When Alan saw the card, his breath quickened.
Tranquil Zen Master mentioned, "This is a card I got by chance. I think you'll be interested."
With that, Tranquil Zen Master asked to add Alan as a friend.
After Alan accepted, Tranquil Zen Master sent him the card's details.
[Second Profession Change Card: Special.]
[Usage Requirement: Players who currently have only one main profession.]
[Effect: After use, you can obtain a second main profession.]
[Note: Single-use consumable, disappears after use.]
Alan exclaimed, "Wow!"
Alan was excited. He never thought someone could get such a powerful item this early in the game.
Dual professions!
Incredible!
Alan remembered that in his past life, only a few people had dual professions, and they were insanely powerful.
Dual professions meant you could switch between two hidden professions, gaining the traits of both, and switch between melee and ranged combat.
Plus, leveling up dual professions gave you 10 free attribute points.
It was a huge advantage.
"What do you need me to do?" Alan asked.
He couldn't turn down this reward.
It was even better than the blessings of the gods.
As an archer, Alan could switch to a melee profession.
Like a knight, berserker, shield warrior, or assassin.
Having an extra choice, Alan could masterfully switch between dual professions, making combat super intense.
Tranquil Zen Master sent over the task details.
[Task Requirement: Exorcise 100,000 undead within a month (all humanoid life forms, including players, NPCs, elves, orcs, etc., after death).]
[Current Progress: 108/100000.]
[Task Penalty: None.]
Tranquil Zen Master hid the task's background and rewards. He probably didn't want Alan to see the task rewards.
"Exorcise 100,000 undead? Why me?" Alan asked.
Tranquil Zen Master smiled wryly. He replied, "Without help, how can I exorcise 100,000 undead?"
Alan smirked. He probed, "So you want me to kill them, and you exorcise them?"
Tranquil Zen Master said, "Amitabha, although this act is somewhat bad, it is just a game, so it shouldn't matter."
Alan nodded. He agreed, "No problem. I accept your request."
Killing 100,000 people?
It sounded brutal, but Alan didn't flinch.
Killing players?
That would be the quickest way.
Most players weren't strong yet, and Alan wasn't scared of taking on 100,000 of them.
But was it right to go on a killing spree like this?
Killing 100,000 players would make them lose levels, slowing down the game progress for the Jinse Empire.
So, the best move would be to spark a war between the Demon Lair and Stellaria. That way, killing 100,000 or even 200,000 would be doable.
"I'll figure it out. Give me a few days," Alan said.
Tranquil Zen Master smiled and nodded. "Okay."
'He doesn't ask too many questions or worry about wasting a few days,' Alan thought with a smile. 'That's good.'
He had a lot of tasks, but they all revolved around the throne of Stellaria.
But right now, he was stuck with Andrew's task and had to wait two more days to act.
Alan: [Robert, you and James keep an eye on the Stellaria royal family. Let me know if anything happens.]
Alan sent a message to Robert and then got ready to enter a dungeon.
But unexpectedly, Robert replied right away: [James and I just took a strange task from Princess Ashley. We have to help the Demon Lair attack Lindataria.]
Alan was a bit surprised. It seemed Ashley and her crew were already making moves.
Alan: [Do your best to take down Lindataria.]
Robert: [Got it.]
Back to his thoughts, Alan re-entered the dungeon and started stacking health points.
His efficiency in stacking health points was dropping, mainly because his damage was too high, killing regular monsters with one arrow.
If Lightning Leap or Fire Meteor was triggered, it would wipe out a whole group.
But every bit counted, and before he knew it, a day had passed.
Alan's health increased by 200,000, reaching 6,870,000.
Robert reported that Lindataria and the Demon Lair were in a stalemate, and King Rex was furious, sending Starcity's city guards to help Lindataria.
On the last day, Alan kept grinding monsters, but Robert sent another message.
Robert: [Ashley colluded with the Demon Lair and got caught by King Rex. Now King Rex is hunting her.]
Alan's eyes narrowed. This was getting interesting.
Ashley was exposed, so it seemed King Rex wasn't a pushover.
Of course, it was also possible that King Rex wanted to openly oppose Ashley.
But Alan couldn't step in now; he had to keep grinding monsters.
On the last day, Alan stacked another 190,000 health points, breaking the 7,000,000 mark, reaching 7,060,000.
Alan's health increase meant James's health was also going up.
On this last day, Robert brought some heavy news.
Robert: [Ashley is dead!]
Alan was very surprised.
Ashley had deep roots in Stellaria, yet she was killed just like that.
Alan: [Okay, I get it.]
Alan cleared the dungeon.
As soon as he came out, he saw a worried Leona.
"Ice King, Ashley is dead. I'm next," Leona said.
Alan frowned, feeling Ashley's death was too sudden.
Alan reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
