I Become An NPC That Can Do Infinite Job Changes

After listening, his henchmen quickly packed their things and prepared to follow Hank down the mountain.

A group of savage raiders, under Hank’s lead, began to rush down the mountain with murderous intent.

It wasn’t just the raiders on Su Mu’s side who made a move. All the raiders in the world began to make theirs as well.

Some of the faster raiders had already swept down and invaded many places.

Many of the players’ territories had been plundered.

The players complained about the raiders’ invasion on the internet and vented their anger.

“Sigh, after working hard for a few days, we’re back to the same situation before liberation.”

“Isn’t that so? I thought I could recruit enough militiamen to open a map, but now, all the villagers have been kidnapped…”

“Damn, don’t say that. I can’t even build a military camp here. Once the raiders see me, they’ll kill me!”

“I’m not too bad. The raiders only took away the grain in the village, leaving behind a group of hungry people. But now these hungry people are clamoring to kill me and eat me…”

“Hahaha, you guys are too miserable. We have a big boss here who has allied with more than a dozen nearby villages and gathered the soldiers together. Now, we can still hold off the raiders for a while.”

There were countless players and talents online. Some of them were indeed not as good as others, but some could still hold on.

This was also related to the players’ opportunities. If they were lucky enough to recruit a stronger battle leader, they would be able to fight against the mountain raiders.

However, to be able to recruit players of this level was extremely rare.

Within a few days…

Su Mu had perfectly achieved his goal, and Avril was no exception.

At this time, Chang’an Village had been upgraded from a Level 3 village to a Level 1 town. It should now be called Chang’an Town.

The number of residential buildings had increased by dozens, and the number of farmers had increased to hundreds.

Apart from the farmers, there were also many functional NPCs such as blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, and fishermen in Chang’an Town.

Even the number of militiamen, basic soldiers, and advanced soldiers had increased by several times.

It could be said that apart from the city walls that had yet to be built as a defensive structure, this Level 1 town had basically been completed.

The elite barracks, which was one of the key points, had also been upgraded a day ago.

As they walked in the direction of the elite barracks, Avril slowly told the stories that had happened in the village a little while back. Su Mu also told Avril the results of his investigation over the past few days.

When Su Mu told her about the mountain stronghold that was dozens of miles away, Avril was a little worried.

Compared to a Level 3 village, Chang’an Town was much more powerful. However, compared to a mountain stronghold that had hundreds of people, it was still far inferior.

Now that the novice protection period had passed, if the enemy attacked again, it would not only be the novice mission but also the military strength stipulated by the system.

If they were lucky, there might only be a few low-level troops attacking.

If they were unlucky…it was not impossible for the entire mountain stronghold to attack in full force!

“Don’t worry.”

As Su Mu calmly patted Avril’s small hand, he said, “When my job change ends this time, the mountain stronghold will not be a hindrance to Chang’an Town’s development!”

After that…

Su Mu stepped into the elite barracks that occupied an area of several hundred square meters.

…

“Job change requirements are met.”

“Please choose the job you will transfer to, or be assisted by the Lord.”

The system notification appeared on the attribute panel. As usual, he chose to change his job on his own. Su Mu began to check the possible directions of his job change.

The job change from an advanced to an elite one was extremely important to every NPC in the game because an elite soldier was the peak of most NPCs.

The reason why special units were called special was that they had specific skills and were professionally trained. Such talents were also rare.

In the early stages of the game, it was an extravagant hope for ordinary NPCs to be transferred to the special units.

Even for Su Mu…

He had no idea how to transfer to the special units!

Therefore, the selection among the elite units had to be done carefully.

“Which job should I choose…”

Looking at the dozen or so elite units that appeared in front of him, Su Mu let out a long sigh.

First was the ‘Spear Thrower’.

Su Mu’s advanced unit was the ‘Spear Thrower’. The elite units related to the ‘Spear Thrower’ was the orthodox class change direction. The system gave him two elite units related to the ‘Spear Thrower’ for Su Mu to choose from.

One was the ‘Heavy Javelin Thrower’, which carried more short spears and had a stronger defense. The other was the ‘Throwing Cavalry’, which had stronger mobility and was good at guerilla warfare.

After carefully checking the information of these two elite units, Su Mu shook his head and continued to check the other jobs.

Su Mu already had the ‘Beginner Spear Throwing Skill’. In the later stages, he could use attribute points to raise this skill to a higher level. Whether it was ‘Heavy Javelin Thrower’ or ‘Throwing Cavalry’, both of them had limited buffs on his strength.

Moreover, both of these jobs had a huge weakness, wherein their continuous combat ability was extremely poor!

Before Su Mu could have his own inventory like the players and store enough short spears, he can only rely on spear-throwing as his trump card. It could not be used as a conventional combat method.

Thereafter.

There were ‘Advanced Bow Skill’, ‘Advanced Spear Throwing Skill’, and ‘Advanced Blade Skill’. These three passive skills extended to the elite units.

Relying on ‘Advanced Bow Skill’, the elite units that Su Mu could change his job into were ‘Crossbowman’, ‘Elite Longbowman’, and ‘Bow Cavalry’.

Relying on ‘Advanced Spear Throwing Skill’, the elite units that Su Mu could change his job into were ‘Spear Shield Soldier’, ‘Elite Long Spear Soldier’, ‘Spear Cavalry’, and so on.

Relying on ‘Advanced Blade Skill’, the Elite Units that Su Mu could change his job into were ‘Shield Soldier’, ‘Elite Long Saber Soldier’, ‘Heavy Armor Saber Soldier’, and so on.

From top to bottom…

After looking through the relevant information of these ten or so classes bit by bit, Su Mu frowned.

It wasn’t that these elite units weren’t strong.

Rather, these elite units focused on reinforcing their strengths in a certain aspect. There was still a bit of a gap between them and his ideal job change direction.

And it was at this moment that…

A job that was independent of these units appeared in front of Su Mu!

‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’!

This was the job that was independent of those elite units.

Strictly speaking, ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’ was a sub-category of the elite unit ‘Heavy Armor Saber Soldier’.

Different from ‘Heavy Armor Saber Soldier’, while wearing heavy armor and having outstanding defense, the weapon of the ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’ was changed to a mo dao that didn’t belong to this era. Compared to the long blade of the ‘Heavy Armor Saber Soldier’, it was more lethal!

Moreover…

The ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’ was also the only one that had other conditions outside of level among all the jobs that Su Mu had checked!

Martial Strength, 50 points or more.

Blade Skill, Intermediate, Level 5 or above.

To Su Mu, these two job change requirements were nothing much. However, to ordinary soldiers and NPCs, these two requirements were like an insurmountable chasm, firmly isolating them from this class!

Normal elite soldiers only had 25 points of strength, while elite soldiers only had Level 1 ‘Advanced Blade Skill’. How could an advanced soldier fulfill these two requirements and change his job to ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’?

Perhaps only those veterans who were still stuck in the advanced soldier class and had participated in countless wars and raised their levels to tens or hundreds of levels could meet the job change requirements of ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’!

However…

Such veterans had long been qualified to change their jobs to elite units and even reach special units. Who would come and change their jobs to ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’?

This unit was even more powerful than the other elite units Su Mu had seen!

In the terminology of the game, this was a hidden rank.

A hidden rank that seemed to have been specially designed for Su Mu!

“This is it!”

With an inexplicable sense of joy, Su Mu muttered in his heart, “I choose to change my job to ‘Heavy Armored Mo Dao Soldier’!”
