Alas, Gu Ming opened the scroll and activated the advanced trial.
Age of Dawn has done a good job in these small details. If you want to activate an item like a scroll, you need to make an action to open the scroll.
"Reminder: You have activated the Advanced Professional Trial of the Shadow Lord!"
Following the prompt that appeared in front of him, Gu Ming's figure was shrouded in a white light and disappeared.
The next moment he was transported to a strange map.
It was already night, and the day and night in the game were synchronized with reality. The scene Gu Ming saw in Lone Star City also had the darkness of night. But when the teleportation ended, the picture that appeared in Gu Ming's field of vision was even darker, as if dyed with ink. .
There were ruins all around, the cold silence spread in all directions, and a faint scream filled the night sky.
Although the field of view is not affected, it is like adding a layer of horror film filter, making it feel extra sneaky.
Gu Ming quickly became familiar with the new environment.
Looking at the map, I found that the name here is "Land of Dark Night" and it does not belong to any place on the world map.
[Land of Darkness]: An advanced map for the shadow assassin profession, where players can learn the true meaning of shadow.
When players arrive at a new location, there will be information about unlocking new maps.
"Shadow assassin career advancement map?"
After the advanced career trial begins, system-related information has been unlocked.
The career system of Dawn Era is all-encompassing and can be divided into several categories such as elemental system, shadow system, fallen system, violent system, and undead system.
Under each major category, there are various subdivided occupations, with the number reaching at least thousands.
The system can even evolve new professions as the plot progresses.
It embodies an unlimited degree of freedom!
Shadow assassin professions include Shadow Hunter (Elite), Shadow Assassin (King), Night Walker (Epic), Night Master (Legendary), etc.
All players who have obtained these assassin advanced professional trials will be teleported here to complete the professional trials!
"There are quite a few people!"
Gu Ming looked around and quickly noticed many players moving around.
Many players have already started the advanced trial first.
Without wasting any time, he quickly found the NPC named Shadow Tutor through the map guidance.
This NPC is a scrawny old man, and his body seems to be shrouded in a layer of black mist.
There was a yellow exclamation mark on his head, reminding Gu Ming that he had to hand over the task to him.
There were many players surrounding it, and it took a while before it was Gu Ming's turn.
Shadow Tutor: "Do you want to learn the true meaning of shadow?"
Gu Ming: "I think so."
Shadow Tutor: "Not everyone can learn the true meaning of shadow. You must pass the trial first. This place used to be very prosperous, until that day, the door of destruction was opened, and the malice from the abyss poured out..."
Gu Ming patiently listened to the shadow mentor's first blow.
He understood that anyway, all the abnormalities in the Dawn Era were due to the abyss.
Finally, the shadow instructor finally got to the point: "If you want to be qualified to learn the true meaning of shadow, please prove your strength first."
"Reminder: Please collect 30 Shadow Stones first to activate your career!
Note: Shadow Stones can be obtained by killing shadow creatures! "
"The next step is to kill the monsters." After successfully receiving the task, Gu Ming looked into the distance.
He had just noticed that there were ghostly figures like evil spirits wandering in the surrounding darkness.
The body constantly switches between illusion and reality.
It seems that this is the monster of this map, the shadow creature.
Gu Ming's profession is the Lord of the Night at the legendary level or even above. It requires 30 shadow stones to activate the profession.
The drop rate of this Shadow Stone must be very low. You may not know how many monsters you need to kill to collect enough!
It's certainly not that easy to get a strong career.
But it doesn't matter, this is no problem for Gu Ming, who has the magical skill of [Mind Eye]!
Just as he was about to start happily shopping and killing monsters, a player who had been wandering nearby suddenly stopped him.
This player's ID is called Club Three.
Three of Clubs: "Going up the mountain to hunt tigers? That's a very unique name, buddy. Do you want the Shadow Stone? One gold coin each!"
In order to avoid attracting attention, Gu Ming always wore a Qianhuan mask and switched to the trumpet of "Going up the mountain to fight tigers".
The ID that ordinary players see is also this name.
But Gu Ming heard his words: "???"
Damn it, can the Shadow Stone be traded?
One gold coin in return...
This career advancement trial can earn you gold if you dare!
Plum Blossom Three looked at Gu Ming's expression and thought he was frightened by the price, so she quickly continued: "Don't think it's expensive. It's the same price in the auction house, so you may not be able to buy it."
"Auction house?" Gu Ming opened the auction house interface curiously.
It has been three or four hours since the auction house was unlocked. There are all kinds of items and props in there, everything is available.
Equipment, skill books, and materials are basic, and there are even people selling information and mission props.
Gu Ming took a quick glance and saw someone selling "underwear of Maple Leaf Village Flower Erya"...
In the "Special Props" column, Gu Ming saw someone auctioning the Shadow Stone, but it would be auctioned off soon, and the transaction price remained at around one gold coin.
"Shadow Stones are more profitable than selling equipment. I can also take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit, but I have to collect enough Shadow Stones first!" Gu Ming thought in his mind, this is a business opportunity!
Three of Clubs: "Rare things are more valuable, buddy, do you want to buy them or not?"
Gu Ming shook his head: "Sorry, I want to be self-reliant."
The Three of Clubs did not force it: "Okay, you can come to me again when you need it."
As he spoke, he applied for Gu Ming's friend: "Let's add it first. You can be considered a good player since you are here. I guess you are still an independent player, right? Do you want to join a guild? I can help you introduce him."
"You have quite a lot of business..." Is it okay to advertise to the guild?
Gu Ming reluctantly rejected Plum Blossom Three's friend application: "I don't want to join the guild."
The Three of Clubs should be the second-tier dealers in the game who specialize in stealing equipment and information. Most of them are studios.
Gu Ming doesn't seem to have any connection with this kind of player.
He waved to the Three of Clubs, turned and walked away.
Plum Blossom Three looked unconcerned and continued to wander around the NPC, selling shadow stones to other players.
And Gu Ming turned on the monster-fighting purchase mode.
He found a shadow monster and threw a mind-eye probe at it first!
shadowcrawler
Race: undead
Level: 12
Attack: 65
Defense: 70
HP: 800
Skill: [Shadow Physique]
Description: They were once residents of the Kingdom of Darkness. They were affected by the curse of shadow and turned into strange creatures that could only live in the shadow world!
Drop: None
Weakness: When the shadow creature switches to the physical state, attack here →
Shadow Life includes different types and levels such as Shadow Crawler, Shadow Screamer, and Shadow Devourer.
"The shadow monster constantly switches between shadow and entity. Attacking weak points is only effective when it switches to entity... It's not a big problem."
After completing his mind-eye inspection, Gu Ming already knew what this kind of shadow monster was, and he was immediately rude. He picked up the newly acquired demonic swords and rushed forward with thunder and lightning special effects.
First type out the shopping menu (picture book)!
