Survival in the Apocalypse: Max Level Drop Rate with Abundant Resources

The night wind howled.

Shen Xi leaned against the broken stone pillar, watching Ming Ying shovel the last bite of braised pork rice into his mouth. Although he was still reluctant, at least he was eating, which was progress.

"Finished eating?" Shen Xi stood up and stretched her limbs.

Mingying nodded.

Shen Xi took out the golden crystal core from her storage space... [Job Change Core - Chaos]. The crystal core shimmered with a warm golden light under the moonlight, its interior covered with dense runes, exuding an ancient and timeless aura.

Hidden professions at the origin level.

He stared at the crystal core for a long time.

To be honest, when the phantom gave him this thing in the Crimson Hatchery, his first thought was to keep it for himself. But then he thought about it again and realized that he already had the Creation profession, and it was a primordial-level profession inherited from Pangu. Although Chaos was also a primordial-level profession, its role was completely different.

Kaitian represents the pinnacle of strength and physique, a warrior who confronts challenges head-on.

Chaos is the ultimate expression of spirit and agility, a magic-based assassin.

Two professions, two paths.

He cannot take two paths at the same time.

Moreover, Mingying had followed him for so long, from the Corpse Dormitory to Starshine City, from the Death Arena to the Hatchery, always charging to the front lines in every battle, shielding him from harm with her own body. Although this guy couldn't speak, Shen Xi saw his loyalty.

"Here, take this." Shen Xi handed over the Chaos Job Change Core. "Use it, and you can change jobs."

Mingying looked down at the golden crystal core, but did not take it.

Shen Xi frowned: "What? You don't want it?"

Mingying was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

Shen Xi was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant.

"You mean, this thing would be better suited for me?"

Mingying nodded.

Shen Xi remained silent. This guy really is... stubborn.

He was about to explain when a familiar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind...

[Buzz...!]

A golden light exploded in his consciousness, and the Domination System appeared!

[Host level detected: 20!]

[The third condition for obtaining the Dominator bonus has been met!]

[Is it extracted? 】

Shen Xi's breath hitched.

I almost forgot, there's a Dominator bonus every 10 levels. I'm level 20 now, so I can draw the third Dominator bonus!

"Extract!"

A burst of golden light erupted instantly!

Countless golden runes surged from the void, swirling wildly around Shen Xi to form a massive vortex! At the center of the vortex, one after another, illusory figures flashed by…

There were phantom images of warriors wielding battle axes, mages chanting spells, assassins disappearing into the shadows, and archers drawing their bows and nocking arrows... Countless images of professions swirled in the vortex, finally contracting sharply and condensing into a golden pillar of light that poured fiercely into the depths of Shen Xi's consciousness!

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the third Dominator bonus: Double Crown!]

[Double Crown: Tier 1 (Original Level/Upgradable)]

[Effect: Players will no longer be limited to a single class path. They can have two classes simultaneously. The levels, attributes, skills, and talents of the two classes are calculated independently, but the base attributes are shared (the higher of the two values ​​is added together). Players can switch main classes at any time; the cooldown time for switching is 60 seconds.]

Growth conditions: Unknown.

[Note: One body, two souls. You are your own teammate.]

Shen Xi stared at the line of words, her whole body stiffening.

Double crown.

You can have two professions at the same time.

This means... he can keep the 'Chaos' class for himself?!

He looked down at the golden job change core in his hand, then glanced at Mingying, and a slow smile spread across his lips.

"Mingying".

Mingying raised her head.

Shen Xi put the Chaos Job Change Core into his storage space, and then took out another blood-red crystal core from it, [Job Change Core - Asura].

Legendary hidden class.

"Here, take this." He handed over the Asura Core. "I'll keep the Chaos for myself."

Mingying accepted the crimson crystal core; this time, he did not refuse.

Shen Xi patted his shoulder: "After you change jobs, you'll be even stronger. In future fights, you'll charge in front, and I'll deal damage from behind."

Mingying nodded.

Shen Xi stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked to a relatively flat open space next to her, where she sat down cross-legged.

He took out the Chaos Transformation Core from his storage space. The golden crystal core was slightly warm in his palm, and the runes inside were flowing faster and faster, as if it had sensed something.

[Player "Primordial" has been detected to possess the Job Change Core - Chaos (Primal Hidden Job). Activate the Job Change Quest?]

Shen Xi took a deep breath.

"activation."

The next second, golden light exploded from the crystal core, enveloping his entire body!

He thought he would be teleported to some class change instance like last time, but this time, the light only circled around him once, and then... disappeared.

[Player "Primordial" has completed the hidden prerequisite: "Crimson Hatchery" cleared. The Chaos class advancement dungeon will be automatically skipped!]

Job change successful!

[Congratulations to player "Taichu" for obtaining the Primal Hidden Class: Chaos (First Job Advancement)!]

Shen Xi was stunned.

That's it... done?

He looked down at his attribute panel, where a new line had appeared...

[Professions: Creator (First Rebirth), Chaos (First Rebirth)]

[The "Chaos" career panel is being digitized...]

[We are currently optimizing player base attributes based on the "Creation" and "Chaos" dual classes...]

A warm current instantly flowed through my entire body!

This warmth was stronger than any before! It wasn't just a simple attribute boost, but a deeper, more fundamental reshaping from the very source of life. His muscles, bones, blood, nerves… every inch of his body was being rewoven, simultaneously infused with two completely different forces!

The power to create the world was fierce and domineering, like magma surging in one's veins.

The power of chaos is profound and far-reaching, like the starry sky extending into consciousness.

The two forces collided, merged, and honed within him, eventually reaching a delicate balance.

[Optimization complete!]

Player "Taichu" current level: 20

[Basic attributes are being reallocated...]

Original Attributes: Strength 132, Spirit 72, Agility 86, Constitution 127, Free Attribute Points 10

【双职业平衡分配：将总属性值（132+72+86+127+10=427）平均分配至四项基础属性】

Calculation result: 427 ÷ 4 = 106.75

[Actual stat distribution: Strength 106, Spirit 106, Agility 106, Constitution 106]

Free attribute points: 0

Shen Xi stared at the line of numbers, her lips twitching slightly.

106.75, isn't that 107? But they gave 106?

"System, you're being way too stingy!" he couldn't help but complain. "Can't you even round up?"

[System notification: Attribute allocation has been optimized to the theoretical maximum value for the current level. Please be aware.]

Shen Xi: "..."

So this is still the "theoretical maximum value"? Are you kidding me?

But he quickly forgot about complaining. Because a new job panel was being generated…

[Class: Chaos (First Job Advancement/Primal Level)]

[Class Description: In the primordial chaos, before the separation of Yin and Yang, those who wield the power of chaos can create all things. This class focuses on spirit, with agility as a secondary attribute. They excel in ranged attacks, control, and summoning, making them a versatile magic-based class for any team.]

[Professional Talents:]

【1. Chaos Power: All spell attacks are imbued with the "Chaos" effect, dealing an additional 50% true damage to all targets and having a 10% chance to trigger the "Confusion" effect (indiscriminately inflicts damage on all targets, lasting 3 seconds)】

[2. Yin Yang Flow: Spirit +100%, Skill Cooldown -30%, Mana Cost -50%]

3. Evolution of All Things: You can learn skills from any class (including warriors, mages, assassins, archers, etc.), and the skill effects are not affected by class restrictions.

4. ? ? ?: Not unlocked (requires completion of second job advancement)

5. ? ? ?: Not unlocked (requires three job changes)

Shen Xi's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

Spirit +100%?!

He currently has 106 points in base spirit, and with the bonus from the Open Heaven profession and the title of Supreme in the Three Realms, his actual spirit has exceeded 200!

There's also "Evolution of All Things," which allows you to learn skills from any profession!

This means he can use a warrior's physique to unleash a mage's fireballs, throw an assassin's darts, shoot a hunter's arrows... he can do whatever he wants!

Moreover, the upgrade bonuses from dual professions caught his eye...

[Creation Realm Class Upgrade Bonus: For each level gained, Strength +3, Constitution +3]

[Chaos Class Leveling Bonus: +3 Spirit, +3 Agility per level]

[Dual Class Stacking: For each level up, all attributes +3, free attribute points +5]

All attributes +3!

For each level gained, Strength, Spirit, Agility, and Constitution each increase by 3 points! Plus 5 free attribute points!

This growth rate is twice as fast as that of a single-class character!

Shen Xi felt the surging power within him. He opened his attribute panel and read it through from beginning to end…

[Player: Tai Chu (Supreme Ruler of the Three Realms)]

[Professions: Creator (First Rebirth), Chaos (First Rebirth)]

Six legendary talents.

Platinum-grade natal weapon, Gold-grade natal magic weapon.

He has two jobs.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, suppressing the overwhelming joy in her heart.

He turned to look at Mingying...

Mingying was still standing in the same spot, holding the blood-red Asura class change core in her hand, looking down at it.

Shen Xi walked over: "Why haven't you changed jobs yet?"

Mingying looked up at him, then looked down at the crystal core in her hand, then looked up at him again, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

Shen Xi understood what he was thinking.

"Shura is a legendary hidden class, very strong." He patted Mingying on the shoulder. "Moreover, this class is most suitable for you."

Mingying was silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

He gripped the crimson crystal core tightly and began to use it...

A crimson light exploded from the crystal core, enveloping his entire body!

The light was even more violent and intense than when Shen Xi transformed into Chaos, carrying an almost insane killing intent. Ming Ying's body trembled slightly in the blood-red light, her bones making crisp "crackling" sounds, as if they were being reshaped.

Shen Xi stood to the side, closely watching Ming Ying's condition.

[Player "Mingying" has been detected using the Job Change Core - Shura (Legendary Hidden Job)!]

[Job change quest activated...]

[Player "Mingying" has completed the hidden prerequisite—defeating the level 8 boss, the Corpse, in the "Rotting Ruins." This reduces the difficulty of the Asura class advancement dungeon by 80%!]

[Job change dungeon in progress... Estimated completion time: 6-8 hours]

Good luck, Shura.

The blood-red light suddenly subsided, and Mingying's figure disappeared from the spot.

Six to eight hours.

Shen Xi sat down cross-legged, took out a bottle of mineral water and a piece of beef jerky from his storage space, and opened the Dominator System panel while eating.

[Domination System]

[Host: Shen Xi]

[Game Nickname: Primordial]

[Level: 20]

[Dominator Bonus: Heavenly Evolution Burst Rate (Tier 2), All-Seeing Insight (Tier 1), Double Crown (Tier 1)]

[Standard Bonuses: Slavery Contract (Tier 1), All Things Return to the Treasury (Tier 1)]

Three Dominator bonuses, two regular bonuses.

The Heavenly Evolution skill guarantees item drops upon kill, the All-Seeing Insight skill allows him to see through all weaknesses, and the Double Crown grants him dual classes. The Slavery Contract gives him the loyal servant, Bright Shadow, and the All Things Return to the Treasury eliminates the hassle of picking up items.

This configuration is unique in the entire world.

Turn off the panel.

Shen Xi took out the Primordial Bead, a jet-black bead the size of a longan lying quietly in his palm. Inside the bead, there was a faint flow of chaos, as if a miniature universe was hidden within.

【Hongmeng Pearl】

[Can consume items: equipment, skills, materials]

Shen Xi stared at the bead, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

Devouring equipment for upgrades? He still has a bunch of unusable bronze-level junk in his storage space, perfect for feeding it. Devouring skills? He has two silver-level skills to replace them; he can devour them later when he finds better ones. Devouring materials? Pangu Axe fragments? Forget it, he can't bear to part with them.

He put the Primordial Pearl back into his storage space, then leaned against the stone pillar and closed his eyes to rest.

It takes Mingying six to eight hours to change jobs, during which time he can go through the skill system of the new job.

The Chaos class has five skill slots, all of which are currently empty.

He needs to equip himself with all the necessary skills.

Shen Xi made a list in her mind, then took out paper and pen from her storage space and began to plan her next move.

Once Mingying returns from her job change, the first thing she'll do is go to the Starshine Shop and equip herself with all the skills for the Chaos class.
