Chapter 7 - Gambler

The instructor was absolutely right; at this moment, Jiang Kai felt as if he was about to catch fire, indistinguishable from reality.

Jiang Kai glanced at the time on his watch; the protection time was about to end, yet his class change was still incomplete.

"Damn it, others finish their class change in two or three minutes. Is mine successful or not? There's no feedback at all!" Jiang Kai looked around and propped himself up from the ground.

"There are at least three types of beasts in the trial area that can sense heat. I'm basically a sitting duck now!"

With this in mind, Jiang Kai staggered deeper into the jungle.

The time on the watch showed 1:22 PM, and the protection time ended!

Only then did Jiang Kai suddenly feel the terror of the trial area.

The dense forest around him rustled, and the birdsong above was no longer pleasant.

Images of those deadly creatures on the map flashed in his mind, any of which could kill him!

He was like prey avoiding hunters, with no target, fleeing blindly, evading countless hunters' pursuit.

In his haste, branches tore through Jiang Kai's last pair of shorts, and pain shot up from his feet.

Even those who had participated in the Newcomer Trial multiple times had a survival rate of less than one in ten, highlighting the forest's fearsome nature.

Moreover, Jiang Kai was in an abnormal state, his whole body burning, making it easier for heat-sensing beasts to track him.

The class change hadn't succeeded, plunging him into even greater danger!

While running, Jiang Kai kept monitoring his condition. Fifteen minutes had passed, and the class change was still incomplete.

After covering some distance, Jiang Kai realized that this class change was too unusual, and he suddenly stopped.

"I don't know why my class change is taking so long... I can't just run blindly. I have no idea where those beasts are, and running like this will only get me killed faster."

In extreme panic, it was hard for Jiang Kai to calm down.

At this moment, he thought of his elder brother and his brother's will.

If there's still hope, death isn't so frightening... He's in his calling now, and that's where his hope lies!

Suddenly, Jiang Kai slapped himself hard!

"Jiang Kai, oh Jiang Kai, you promised to pass the trial at all costs, look at your sorry state now! If you don't want your brother to die, if you don't want Ying to be bullied again, you must calm down!"

That slap finally brought Jiang Kai to his senses.

He first observed his surroundings, ensuring there were no obvious threats, and then checked his condition.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

His whole body was burning, his organs felt like they were on fire, unbearable, a reaction likely due to the class change, beyond his control.

His shorts were torn in several places, and there were bloodstains on his body and feet.

"The body heat will also accelerate my metabolism, leaving more scent and bloodstains, making it easier for beasts with keen senses to find me."

Jiang Kai squinted slightly, "I need to find a place to wait for the class change effects to end!"

Just then, a faint rustling sound came from the forest behind Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai immediately turned to look, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

Behind a few plants, a pair of amber eyes were staring at him!

He hadn't noticed them when he checked his surroundings earlier!

"Ghost Star Venomous Wild Boar!"

This beast could grow up to one and a half meters long, with a robust body covered in dark green steel-like fur, perfectly camouflaged among the surrounding foliage.

The steel fur contained a paralyzing toxin, and the Venomous Wild Boar could shoot it up to twenty meters. Once hit, the paralysis would quickly spread throughout the body, rendering one immobile within three hundred meters, eventually becoming the boar's meal.

Almost reflexively, Jiang Kai sprang forward, sprinting away.

As Jiang Kai moved, the Venomous Wild Boar no longer hid, charging out of the woods in pursuit.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a dozen piercing sounds came from behind, incredibly fast.

Most of the venomous spikes were blocked by the surrounding trees, but a few pierced through, heading straight for Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai quickly changed direction to dodge.

However, before he could react, the Venomous Wild Boar launched another volley of over twenty spikes.

No matter how "rare" Jiang Kai's agility was, he was still just an ordinary person, and in a terrible state at that.

With a thud, a spike struck Jiang Kai's left rear hip!

"Shit!" Jiang Kai exclaimed.

The moment he was hit, Jiang Kai felt a numbness in the area, intensifying and spreading to his thigh!

Seeing its prey hit, the Venomous Wild Boar slowed down slightly, as if knowing the prey wouldn't get far and would soon be its meal.

Jiang Kai continued to flee desperately.

The paralysis in his left leg had spread to the other thigh, and his running was now more of a limp, hardly "running" at all.

"Damn it, is it going to end like this? The trial has just begun!" Jiang Kai gritted his teeth, his face contorted, using all his strength to move.

Pushing aside the branches in front of him, Jiang Kai found himself standing on a cliff.

Below the cliff, about ten meters down, was a rushing river, the current turbulent, with rocks visible in the riverbed, and the water not very deep.

The Venomous Wild Boar had also emerged from the woods, its amber eyes locked onto its prey.

Its prey was already collapsed on the ground!

Jiang Kai watched as the Venomous Wild Boar approached, then glanced back at the river below the cliff.

Jumping meant a slim chance of survival; not jumping meant certain death!

To be honest, Jiang Kai wasn't fond of gambling, but interestingly, he'd been gambling a lot lately!

Gambling for a sliver of life!

Jiang Kai mustered all his strength, twisting his waist, and rolled off the cliff!

Falling from here, life or death, he could only take a gamble!

As Jiang Kai decided to gamble and fell off the cliff, he unexpectedly heard the system voice of his calling.

That elegant and pleasant female voice said.

[Congratulations, you have completed the Destiny Class Change. Your temperament is highly compatible with a gambler, and you have successfully changed your class to the honorable "Gambler."]

[Upon successful class change, your initial attributes will double, and you will receive the following class-specific talents.]

[Class-specific talent "Double," all system rewards and penalties will have double effects, with a 1% chance to trigger the enhanced effect "Super Double," changing rewards and penalties to tenfold effects.]

["Double" talent triggered! Correcting class change attribute increase values! Correcting talent acquisition quantity!]

[Upon successful class change, your initial attributes have increased to four times the original. You will receive an additional second talent.]

[The second talent is a random talent, "Critical Strike," with a 1% chance to inflict double critical damage.]

["Super Double" talent triggered! Correcting random talent attributes!]

["Super Critical Strike," with a 0.1% chance to inflict 200 times critical damage.]

[Once again, congratulations on completing your class change. May you refine your career path in future explorations and reach the realm of transcendence. Enjoy your game!]

As the system's congratulatory message ended, Jiang Kai plunged into the icy river...

The riverbed was indeed shallow, and Jiang Kai's body slammed into a rock at the bottom.

The violent impact was excruciating, and he thought he might die there.

However, strangely, after such a strong impact, Jiang Kai remained highly conscious.

Thanks to his paralyzed legs, he didn't feel intense pain.

After surfacing from the river, Jiang Kai only felt some back pain and the coldness of the water, but no other discomfort.

Even the burning sensation throughout his body had vanished, and his arms felt full of strength!

Originally unable to escape the rushing river, he now swam to the shore using only his hands.

Once ashore, Jiang Kai immediately checked his watch.

His basic data had changed.

[Player: Jiang Kai]

[Class: Gambler]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 4]

[Physique: 8]

[Agility: 12]

[Mental Strength: 12]

[Class Talent: "Double," system rewards and penalties will have double effects, with a 1% chance to trigger the enhanced effect "Super Double," changing rewards and penalties to tenfold effects.]

[Talent 2: "Super Critical Strike," with a 0.1% chance to inflict 200 times critical damage.]

Seeing his class and talents clearly displayed on the watch, Jiang Kai widened his eyes in disbelief.

Did he complete the class change during the fall?

He had become a "Gambler"?

Jiang Kai was certain that this class was unheard of, not only in China but also in other countries, a completely new class.

However, that wasn't the most shocking part; the more astonishing thing was that he had a second talent?

"A 0.1% chance to inflict 200 times critical damage... Hiss... This ghostly talent, should I laugh or cry?!"

A thousand hits for one critical? One critical hit, 200 times?
