  [Your basic attributes will increase by 50%. Correction: Gambler's "Double" talent activated, your basic attributes will increase by 100%.]

  [Current four basic attributes are: Strength 168, Physique 172, Agility 324, Mental Strength 264.]

  [All talents from the Gambler profession will be enhanced.]

  [Double: The chance of activation is already 100%, cannot be increased. There's a 1% chance to trigger the enhanced effect "Super Double", increased to a 3% chance to trigger "Super Double".]

  [Super Critical Strike: The chance of triggering a 200x critical hit is increased from 0.1% to 0.2%.]

  [Congratulations on acquiring the Deceiver profession talent "Deceive the heavens and cross the sea". Gambler's "Double" talent activated, acquiring a second random talent "Enhanced Agility".]

  "Super Double! Super Double!" Jiang Kai prayed fervently in his heart.

  Unfortunately, even though the chance of a critical hit was increased by two percentage points, a 3% chance was still too low, and the miracle did not happen.

  He only acquired two profession talents.

  [Deceive the heavens and cross the sea: As a Deceiver, your trickery skills are stronger than those of an average swindler! Your actions are highly deceptive, making you more adept at using words to manipulate opponents and using body language to deceive their judgment.]

  Jiang Kai frowned slightly, clearly comparing the Deceiver to a swindler.

  It seems that a Deceiver is indeed an upgraded version of a "swindler"!

  [Enhanced Agility: Your agility value is permanently increased by 40%.]

  "Damn... Am I just going further down the agility path?" Jiang Kai exclaimed upon seeing the second talent.

  Enhanced Agility isn't particularly powerful, but the problem is, Jiang Kai's original attributes were already more than double that of others. Now, with an additional 40% agility, his base agility has reached 454 points!

  As someone who just entered the second tier, he surpasses even the second-tier max-level agility experts like Xu Feixiang and Di Sang!

  And when he reaches the second-tier max level, who knows how terrifying his agility will become!

  With profession talents acquired, he just needs to level up one more time to gain two new professional skills.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  After the system's enhancement notification ended, Jiang Kai let out a long breath.

  "Finally reached the second tier." Jiang Kai shook his head with a smile. At first, he didn't even think he could reach the second tier!

  "A Deceiver... is like an upgraded version of a swindler. So what will my third, fourth, or even transcendent profession be?" Jiang Kai squinted slightly, suddenly becoming interested in his future career path.

  ...

  In River City, Wei Ying called Lu Jun and Su Lanlan to the office.

  As Lu Jun and Su Lanlan entered, they noticed General Wei's troubled expression. Lu Jun quickly asked, "General, what's happened?"

  Wei Ying shook his head, "Nothing new, really. How's the guild challenge going?"

  "There's one week left until it ends," Lu Jun replied.

  Wei Ying stood up and sighed, "Seven more countries have discovered connection teleportation arrays. We've received word that the countries currently in the public area are trying to block the teleportation array entrances."

  "What?" Su Lanlan's eyes widened, "Block the teleportation array entrances?"

  Wei Ying nodded, "Yes! The public area is now a battlefield. Those countries that discovered the teleportation arrays early have organized large numbers of elites to enter, and they're fighting each other. They also want to drive other countries' teams out of the public area."

  "Strong nations have established temporary bases, continuously strengthening their hold in the public area. The seven new countries that entered were immediately driven out!"

  Lu Jun was shocked, "Is that even possible?"

  Wei Ying sighed again, "The Calling only stated that when 80 countries activate connection teleportation arrays, the global championship will begin. But it didn't say all 80 countries have to participate!"

  Lu Jun finally understood, "So, with one less opponent, they have a better chance! They're using their early entry advantage to prevent newcomers from competing with them!"

  Wei Ying nodded, "Exactly... The longer it drags on, the stronger their advantage becomes. It will be increasingly difficult for us in China to break through their defensive barriers!"

  "A directive has already been issued from above. All War God training camps in Chinese cities are to stop leveling up, keeping everyone below the third tier. At the same time, all guilds and ascetic monks are to search for connection teleportation gates with all their might."

  "Once a teleportation gate is found, all guild factors will be eliminated, and three of the strongest five-person teams will be selected from each War God Temple training camp to break through the foreign blockade at all costs!"

  Su Lanlan finally understood why the general was asking about the guild challenge. The current situation is increasingly unfavorable for China!

  "You two, go notify the War God Temple training camp. Once the teleportation gate is found, there will be another fierce competition among these geniuses."

  Lu Jun and Su Lanlan accepted the order and were about to leave the office when Wei Ying suddenly called them back.

  "By the way, how's that kid Jiang Kai doing recently?"

  "After winning the second-tier team championship, he went to a secret realm. It's said he cleared some Nest of Terror secret realm, but after he returned, we didn't see any items for sale at his 'convenience store', so we don't know if he got anything good."

  Wei Ying frowned slightly, "Is it the secret realm that the Orient Loong God guarded for two months?"

  "Yes!"

  "That kid!" Wei Ying couldn't help but smile, slapping the corner of the table, "He's really something!"

  "What about his profession level?"

  "He should still be at the first tier... You know, his profession seems to be some new kind, and leveling up is as difficult as reaching the sky."

  Wei Ying smiled slightly, "You never know, this kid has surprised us more than once."

  "Unfortunately, with his situation, he can't enter the War God Temple training camp. Otherwise, I would have used my personal connections to get him in!" Wei Ying sighed, "What about the Huang Family? Have they been causing him or his family any trouble recently?"

  "They've been quite well-behaved lately. Last time, Huang Tong made a public promise," Su Lanlan said.

  Wei Ying snorted, "If Huang Tong could keep his promises, he wouldn't be Huang Tong! We can't openly help Jiang Kai, but Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying are right under our noses, and we must ensure their safety!"

  "Yes!"

  Leaving Wei Ying's office, Lu Jun said to Su Lanlan, "The boss really values that kid Jiang Kai. It's not just attention; it's genuine care."

  Su Lanlan nodded, "I feel it too. He knows Jiang Kai has difficulty leveling up and has no intention of joining the military, yet he still takes special care of him. Why do you think that is?"

  Lu Jun smiled slightly, "Did you know the general once had a grandson? If he were still around, he'd probably be about Jiang Kai's age. Unfortunately..."

  "Perhaps the old man truly sees Jiang Kai as family."
