Chapter 66 has four tasks; profession: Butcher.
The pig-headed man's heavy footsteps echoed in the empty factory, each step feeling like a blow to everyone's nerves.
Its breathing was heavy and sticky, and the stench of its breath was like that of rotting flesh, making people want to vomit.
Su Jinjin's back pressed against the cold iron bars, her fingers unconsciously clenching so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms.
She could clearly hear her own rapid heartbeat, thump, thump.
It looked like it was about to burst out of his chest.
She also took the opportunity to observe the other players and found that none of them were acting rashly or about to attack.
Obviously, they're not stupid.
The pig-headed man stopped in front of the cage, his enormous figure casting a thick, dark shadow that enveloped everyone.
Its murky pig eyes slowly scanned the "goods" in the cage, its gaze like a cold blade, scraping across each person's face inch by inch.
"Hmm..." It let out a satisfied hum, its rough fingers tapping on the iron bars, producing a dull metallic vibration.
"It seems this batch of goods is of decent quality."
Its voice was hoarse and sticky.
"I just don't know... how many will be left after the assessment."
The pig-headed man grinned, revealing gleaming white fangs, and thick saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth. "But I really hope... all of them fail."
"That way... I can fill my stomach."
"Hehehe..."
Its laughter was chilling.
Su Jinjin's temples throbbed, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of her back.
I started to wonder what this pig-headed man meant by "assessment."
But she knew she had to succeed in this test, or she would become food for the other party.
Su Jinjin didn't need to think about what would happen if she became food.
"This dungeon is different from the ones I've experienced before. It seems that the dungeons after level 2 are not just about post-apocalyptic survival, but also include other types of horror survival games."
Several questions quickly surfaced in Su Jinjin's mind.
On the other side.
The pig-headed man seemed to enjoy the fear of the crowd, and it seemed quite pleased to see their pitiful and helpless expressions.
The pig-headed man slowly brandished the machete in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the dim light.
The knife was placed next to the cage, which frightened several indigenous people so much that they almost fainted.
After finishing his game, the pig-headed man finally dragged his heavy steps, turned around and left, his footsteps gradually fading into the distance.
Only when that suffocating figure completely disappeared from sight did the people in the cage relax with a sigh of relief.
Some people collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, while others covered their mouths, struggling to suppress the urge to vomit.
Some people were sobbing softly, clearly terrified.
Ignoring the reactions of others, Su Jinjin quickly calmed her breathing and forced herself to stay calm.
"I can't just sit here and wait to die..." She gritted her teeth, immediately brought up the system, and checked the mission for this instance.
Main Quest 1: Survive for seven days in the "Animal Slaughterhouse" instance.
[Reward: You can return to reality after the mission is completed]
[Main Quest 2: Pass the Slaughterhouse 'Profession' Assessment]
[Reward: Temporary Dungeon Worker] [Failure: Become "Ingredients"]
[Task 3: Become a full-time employee]
[Reward: One random potion]
[Task 4: Slaughter 1000 creatures]
[Reward: Random skill draw]
Seeing that there were actually four tasks this time, alarm bells went off in Su Jinjin's mind.
"Four tasks...?" Her fingertips felt slightly cold, and her throat tightened.
Having experienced several instances, she knew very well.
The main quest must be completed, otherwise you cannot return to reality.
While side quests are not mandatory, their rewards are often extremely valuable and can even determine the fate of the player in the next dungeon run.
"Surviving for seven days… that's not too bad, but this 'professional assessment'…" Her gaze was fixed on the second task, especially the glaring "Failure: Become 'Ingredients'".
Failure means being slaughtered.
The image of the pig-headed man's hideous fangs and drooling smile uncontrollably flashed through her mind, and her stomach churned.
"Ordinary people might just be trying to survive, but the rewards the system gives…" She gritted her teeth.
Based on past experience, the items and skills rewarded by the system are all of the highest quality.
If she could obtain a [random potion] or even a [random skill draw], she would have a better chance of survival in future dungeons.
"Sure enough, after upgrading to level 2, the difficulty of the dungeon skyrocketed..." She took a deep breath to suppress her unease.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jinjin prepared to use the [Working Class] talent to awaken her class in this dungeon.
"Unleash your working-class talent!"
[Ding! Talent awakening in progress!]
[Ding! The "Animal Slaughterhouse" instance has a profession assessment!]
[Ding! The working class has awakened one of their professions!]
[Congratulations to player - Working Class Talent - for awakening the Butcher skill in the animal slaughterhouse!]
Butcher Profession
Ability 1: The cook can solve the problem of cattle
Effects: Rapidly decompose and dissect the target, mastering techniques such as bloodletting, skinning, deboning, and internal organ processing.
Skill 2: Sharpening knives
Effect: Can quickly make the knife in your hand extremely sharp.
This time, the awakened talent was unusual, which surprised Su Jinjin.
"Is it because of the class assessment in the dungeon that the worker directly awakens into one of the assessment classes, the Butcher?"
This surprised Su Jinjin.
"However, if I awaken the Butcher class, I will definitely pass the test in this dungeon."
After awakening the Butcher profession.
Suddenly, a flood of unfamiliar knowledge rushed into my mind: how to make the incision with minimal effort, how to avoid the bone, how to perfectly peel off an entire piece of skin...
These skills seem to be imprinted in her muscle memory, giving her an urge to try them out.
"This is... the Butcher profession??" Su Jinjin murmured to herself, feeling somewhat relieved.
At least, she is no longer a defenseless "lamb to the slaughter".
The knowledge she possesses is more than enough to help her pass the test.
Just as Su Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere inside the cage suddenly became tense.
The other four players were clearly not as lucky as her.
They don't have the talent of "working class" to awaken their profession early. They are currently facing unknown tests, and if they are not careful, they will become "food" for the pig-headed people.
In the oppressive silence, the girl wearing the bird-face mask suddenly let out a cold laugh, her sharp gaze sweeping over the other three players who were also hiding their identities.
"Let's not beat around the bush." Her voice was cold, carrying an air of condescending arrogance. "The 'professional assessment' is about to begin. What are your plans?"
She crossed her arms over her chest, adopting a domineering posture, as if she implicitly acknowledged herself as the leader of this group.
This attitude immediately aroused dissatisfaction among others.
"Heh." The helmeted man chuckled, his voice coming through the mask with a deep, mocking tone. "Why should we tell you? Who do you think you are?"
The woman with the bird-face mask's eyes turned cold: "What, you want to fight alone? Don't forget what the consequences of failure are."
"That's none of your business." The man in tactical uniform stood his ground. "It's all about skill, so stop pointing fingers."
