Annan didn't know how long he had been in a coma, nor when he woke up.
When he regained consciousness, there was still a line of blood-red, somewhat scrawled characters floating in front of his eyes:
[The Curse Has Been Cut - The Great Hunt of Destiny]
[You have completed the ritual: faster murder, you have obtained the low-level influence "one step faster"]
[If you don't remove it in time, you will fall into a random nightmare with the keyword "sharp blade" on April 4th or June 6th (difficulty: difficult)]
[You have completed a ritual, your will attribute +1]
[The Tragedy Writer is very satisfied with your ceremony, you have obtained 1 Holy Light Seal of the Tragedy Writer]
[Current total imprints: 3 (Silver Sir) / 1 (Tragic Writer)]
After a brief pause, Annan finally had an official reminder to clear the dungeon:
[Guarantee the survival of "Annan Cold Winter", "Dmitry Cold Winter", "Elizabeth Noah", "Caffney Noah" (completed)]
[Find and destroy the key ceremony (completed)]
[Do not reveal your identity (completed)]
[—Nightmare has been purified]
[Purify the nightmare with the designated identity, and the evaluation will increase]
[Perfect blocking ceremony, greatly improved evaluation]
[Prevent the explosion, improve the evaluation]
[Kill Philip Noah, the evaluation will be greatly improved]
[Recognized by the "tragedy writer", the evaluation has greatly improved]
[The collection of memories has been completed, and the evaluation has increased]
[Comprehensive Evaluation—S]

[Dungeon customs clearance reward: Any profession can be upgraded by 3 levels]
[Hidden elements have been cracked: 100%]
[Dungeon Decryption Reward: Element (Glory) Awakening Depth Increased by 10%]
[Highest Rating Reward: Random Available Spells (Disability School)]
… it's over.
"I won."
Sure enough, he was not disappointed...
In other words, it was all within Annan's expectations.
Just like other people's perception of Annan-just a "lucky madman". With a little guts and a little luck...
In Annan's heart, there was a burst of ecstasy first, and then excitement.
And after such intense pleasure, Annan felt a little empty instead...
Annan took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled in an effort to calm his beating heart.
What he gambled on was not whether Lady Luck was on his side.
This gamble is not about luck, but about ability.
What he bet on, what he believed in... was his ability to see people.
It wasn't because of a sudden accident that he could only choose to trust Old Merlin. He took the initiative to arrange the plan, and handed over the final victory button to Old Merlin who knew nothing about his plan.
Undoubtedly, this confidence comes from Annan's knowledge of Merlin Manning, as well as his trust in his ability and intuition.
Annan took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The sun outside has been up for a while.
... It's half past seven.
He glanced at the clock.
It seemed that a long time had passed since he fell into a coma from the nightmare.
But it doesn't matter.
Just win.
Annan casually added all three free levels to the wizard profession, and all the remaining experience points to the silver knight.
In this way, Annan's panel becomes like this:
Attributes: Strength 11, Dexterity 10, Constitution 13, Perception 44, Will 15
Employment List—
Silver Knight LV13: [Winter Sword Technique LV5], [Frost Sword Technique LV9], [Bypass by Analogy LV1], [Silver Hand LV1]
Wizard (disability school) LV20 (can be advanced): [instant spell LV4 (cold contact, lazy eye, no, no)], [guided spell LV4 (wall of stall, frost nova, rain of thoughts, Reject life)], [chanting spell LV3 (wheel of frost, no, no)], [ritual spell LV1 (no)]
Annan noticed that starting from LV11, the Silver Knight would add two physical points by default for every level up, and then randomly add one point to the three physical attributes of strength, body and agility.
In other words, this is a profession that can increase attributes by three points per level!
It is even more powerful than the wizard profession!
The wizard is only two points!
... As expected of a kryptonite profession.
Of course, on the other hand... Annan didn't get any new magic spells or abilities from the upgraded silver knight level. Although he got skill points as usual, he could only add points to his existing skills.
Its skill list...or divine spell list, seems to be purchased directly from Yinjue with the imprint of holy light.
But the improvement of physical attributes alone has brought huge changes to Annan.
Now Annan obviously felt that his body had become stronger. To use an analogy... If you used to sleep at least three hours a day to maintain your energy the next day, Annan can stay up all night now!
But what has changed more significantly is his perception attribute.
The sudden increase of three wizard levels plus the reward for clearing the nightmare made Annan's perception attribute increase by seven levels. He clearly felt dizzy... like seeing the world through glasses that are too clear.
But Annan shook his head, barely dispelling the discomfort.
Thanks to the rotten man who poisoned Annan...
If Annan hadn't experienced the distortion of world cognition brought about by higher-level perception, he would not have been able to adapt to this level of perception so easily.
It may even increase the degree of erosion—according to Salvatore, some wizards may even be cursed to erode their minds when their strength increases too quickly after completing difficult nightmares.
This situation also occurs in occupations such as "Berserker", which increase strength by two points per level. The profession of berserker can be used directly at the silver level—and for some powerful berserkers at the silver level, after waking up from a nightmare, the muscles of the whole body may be highly activated, flowing like bugs... and may even crawl directly. Walk.
This phenomenon is called "sublimation".
If you can't control these "muscle bugs", then there is no doubt...the power will drop quite a bit.
Basically, this phenomenon will appear at or near the silver level.
According to Annan's calculations... For a professional at this level, the main attribute is about 50 points.
When the attribute exceeds 40 points, it will feel uncomfortable to increase the strength - that is because the curse absorbed is close to the limit of the human body. When the attribute is 50 points, there is a hurdle that is not clear and everyone is different. If you don’t step over it, you will drop back to 40 points directly.
This can be said to be a heavy blow.
Because one of the necessary conditions for advanced gold is to "complete sublimation". In other words, a main attribute of 50 points or more is only the starting requirement for the golden rank.
If you fail once... Then except for professions such as wizards whose main attributes are relatively easy to improve, other professions may not be able to get 50 points even if they are promoted to the full silver level, so they can only try to "advance" a second time.
That is, to obtain a sub-profession and advance smoothly.
According to Salvatore, this process seems to be life-threatening... It's just that Annan himself has successfully advanced, and he doesn't know where the danger lies. But to be on the safe side, he temporarily locked the players' second jobs.
Only when he asks clearly what this risk is, will it be opened to players again—so that they don't use up their account.
"Next, it's time for the lottery draw..."
Annan's expression became serious.
He wiped the sweat from his palms on the quilt, then reached out and clicked on the [Highest Evaluation Reward] notification.
As the notification fades away, a new notification is generated:
[Based on your characteristics and existing occupation level, you have obtained the spell of order: winter chill (ritual)]
