Having dismounted the carriage upon arriving at the Church, Nan Ke was brimming with excitement as he patted his chest and vowed,N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Of course, I have quite a bit of confidence in my integrity. Feel free to trust mepletely in this regard."


    Kael nodded and said, "His Eminence the Cardinal from the Earth Mother Goddess Church once told me that you Undead have a very convenient way ofmunicating with each other.


    I suppose even if you are far away and unable to contact me immediately, you can still pass on the information of some special ingredients you''ve collected to me through other Undead."


    "That would indeed be a good way," Nan Ke said with a smile.


    "If that''s the case, then let''s begin," Kael said, just as a nun approached him and handed him a book, saying:


    "Baron Helois, this is the book youmissioned our Church to find."


    "Thank you for your trouble. Also, do you have a spare Prayer Room that I may use? I am willing to pay."


    The nun, with a rosyplexion, said as she stroked her chin, "You are too kind, sir. There''s no need to pay for such a trivial matter. Please, follow me this way."


    Kael nodded and did not refuse. Once they entered the Prayer Room, he handed them two books and said:


    "These are the Job Change Certificates required for two professions, which contain some knowledge on skill acquisition. With these, you both should be able toplete the skill job change properly."


    Both of them showed surprised and delighted smiles, taking the books from Kael''s hands. The next moment, they both heard the system''s notification.


    [System Notification: You have acquired the Job Change Certificate ''Druid Travel Diary,'' and your Level Experience Points are sufficient. Do you wish to change your job to the Druid profession?]


    [System Notification: You have acquired the Job Change Certificate ''Shadow Manual,'' and your Level Experience Points are sufficient. Do you wish to change your job to the Infiltrator profession?]


    The two had already umted a portion of experience from tasks regrly issued in their territory and, now having received the Job Change Certificates, were eager toplete the job change immediately.


    However, the moment they agreed to the job change, they suddenly heard a system-wide announcement.


    [System Update: Netherworld Gate, Version 1.0 Beta Update Announcement.]


    [The update uses are as follows:]


    [1. Detection of certain yers initiating Druid profession job changes ahead of schedule; now modifying the use that prohibits initiating Druid profession job changes during the beta period.]

    [Friendly Reminder:


    15 minutester, yers will be under system protection, teleported back to the surrounding town and logged off for secondary optimization of the game system.


    The optimization details are as follows:

    2. Provide a richer array of NPC interaction options;

    4. Optimize certain game details.


    All yers should prepare in advance, check their items in time to prevent loss of game property, details of the announcement will be sent to the game forum, please move there to watch]


    As soon as the announcement was made, arge number of yers immediately took notice.


    Even Kael, who had always kept an eye on the game forum for any rted announcements, noticed it right away.


    Kael knew that "Portal to the Underworld" was not going to promote all base sses during the beta phase.


    Or rather, standing from the conditions currently avable in Lancaster Territory, the four sses [Druid/Martial Monk/Pdin/Ranger] that could not be chosen during the beta are exactly the ones that Lancaster Territory does not have the prerequisites to offer for ss changing.


    The primary activity zones for Druids are deep in the ancient forests, but although there arerge forests in Lancaster Territory as well, there are no corresponding Druids stationed here, not even a ss change mentor.


    Martial Monks, Pdins, and Rangers are also in the same situation.


    Realistically, the core reason why yers can''t change to these sses is because Lancaster itselfcks the conditions for these ss changes.


    But what if Kael took the initiative to intervene? If he followed the normal yer ss change procedure and gave the yers the corresponding ss change credentials, was there a chance to trigger a bug in the promotional video?


    The facts now proved that it was indeed possible.


    However, even the fact that I had already mastered the way to help yers change to Priest and Pdin was exposed along with the announcement...


    A hint of a smile appeared on his face.


    When Kael assigned missions to the yers, leading them to the Royal Capital, on one hand it was to fulfill his ns for promoting his novel andying groundwork for future business.


    On the other hand, he wanted to probe whether the game system would undergo some changes due to his subjective actions within "Portal to the Underworld"—


    For example, enabling yers to preemptively take on Druid jobs that were otherwise unavable during the beta phase.


    "Brother Kael, we''ve received new instructions from the Earth Mother God; some matters require our offline attention. It seems we might have to leave early today," Nan Ke said hurriedly as time ticked by and they were about to be kicked offline.


    Feigning surprise, Kael sighed after a moment, "If that''s the case, the matters at the Earth Mother God Sect are more important. Address them promptly; we don''t want to keep them waiting anxiously."


    Both nodded, and without a chance to say more, a beam of teleportation light caused them to vanish from the Prayer Room.


    Kael calmly watched as they were teleported away, his emotions bing somewhatplex.


    He once again turned his attention to the forum where the yers were surely having many opinions about the game update. His actions could directly influence the game''s progress and even version updates, which would surely attract a great deal of attention.


    True to his expectation, as he clicked on thetest announcement in the forum, he could see from thement section below that the yers had already started bustling about it.


    Especially as the focus of this update, the yers located in the Royal Capital who had activated three Hall of Fame achievements, had decidedly be the center of everyone''s attention.


    Necessarily, as a person of interest on the forum and nearly seen as an unofficial game operator by the yers, Nan Ke already began updating the information he collected during this period in thement section.


    As someone determined to be the paparazzo of "Portal to the Underworld" – Nan Ke, how could he possibly skip this opportunity to be in the spotlight?


    He decisively started a new thread, "Various Matters About the Version Update (With Kael''s Beautiful Pictures for Floor Control)!"
