Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Jiang Chen gave an awkward smile. When Hanna approached him, intending to 'take care' of him, Jiang Chen had deflected with a comment. He never expected it to spread.

Damn it...

Ruo Li leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and whispered, "Can you tell your senior sister how long it is?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

Jiang Chen clenched his fists, then extended both index fingers, earnestly gesturing their length... longer... and longer still...

Ruo Li rolled her eyes. "Get lost... You're talking about a Longsword, aren't you?"

Jiang Chen said helplessly, "Actually, I was talking about a Longsword. You all just misunderstood."

"Yeah, right. But I'm really curious why Hanna let it slide. That's not like her at all."

"Do you think Hanna could have someone assassinate me?"

"No way. If she wanted you dead, she'd do it herself, not hire someone. Anyway, be careful. With the Alliance Battle approaching, someone else might try to assassinate you."

"Is the Alliance Battle that important?"

"Of course. It's a matter of honor, the honor of the Dragon Zone Union. It's very important to them."

Jiang Chen pondered.

He wasn't from this world, but he understood the concept of honor quite well.

For those from the Dragon Battle Zone, the Alliance Battle was a fight for the entire Dragon Zone Union's honor.

Ruo Li continued, "Black Phoenix has a strong sense of honor. She fights not just for herself but for the Dragon Zone Union as well. Do you understand now?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "I understand. And I have another piece of equipment."

"Junior, still holding back? That's petty of you. What equipment is it?"

"Angus Greatsword."

Ruo Li was shocked. "The Angus Greatsword from the King's Crown Copy?"

"Yeah."

"That's Diamond-grade equipment! Even though it's not part of a Set, it can trigger certain Attributes when combined with one. Looks like your luck is pretty good to have such gear."

Jiang Chen smiled. "A handsome man always has good luck."

CHUCKLE...

"Okay, Black Phoenix really needs that equipment. I'll have Black Wind contact you. If there's any equipment you need, let me know in advance. We could also buy it with money."

"I don't need money. Just equipment of the same level that I can use."

"Fine, let's have a drink first and chat more later."

"And after drinking...?"

"What would you like to do?"

"I'd like to... sleep."

"You're so annoying..."

"Don't get me wrong, I mean sleep alone."

CHUCKLE...

...

Jiang Chen was lying in bed alone, looking at the giant sword.

[Angus Greatsword (Diamond level)]

[Level: 30]

[Class: Knight, Warrior wearable]

[Physical Attack Power: 150-200]

[Strength +50]

[Constitution +50]

[Agility -4]

[Durability: 50/50]

[Skill 1: Angus's Fury, Offensive Power upgraded by 10% for five minutes, cooldown five minutes...]

This greatsword boosted Offensive Power and had wickedly high Physical Attack.

「Inside the hotel.」

Black Phoenix was taken aback. "What, he has the Angus Greatsword?"

"Yes."

"What does he want in exchange?"

"He wants to trade for equipment of the same level. To us Heroes, money is just a number. It also has to be level 30 Diamond-grade equipment."

Black Phoenix frowned. "I wonder if the Legion's Warehouse has anything?"

"Of course. I remember there's a sword for Swordsmen in there, though its Attributes aren't that great."

Black Phoenix hurriedly checked the Legion's Warehouse.

[White Rainbow Sword (Diamond Grade)]

[Level: 30]

[Class: Swordsman wearable]

[Physical Attack Power: 50-75]

[Magic Attack Power: 50-75]

[Strength +21]

[Constitution +20]

[Agility +18]

[Durability: 50/50]

[Skill 1: When attacking, 1% chance to trigger Paralysis Attribute. (The trigger chance decreases as level increases.) Paralysis duration: 1 second.]

Black Phoenix looked at the Attributes of this terrible sword. It's truly the worst of the worst.

The weapon's attack power wasn't bad, but the trigger chance for the Attribute was trash. Relying on luck, it would trigger, on average, only once in a hundred attacks.

For a Swordsman, this sword was practically useless. You'd have to attack a hundred times for it to trigger once, and even then, the effect only lasted for a second.

Ruo Li looked at the sword. "How about we trade it to Jiang Chen?"

Black Phoenix shot her a look. "Unless he's a fool, he'll see this Diamond-grade sword is junk. Do you really think he'd trade for it?"

Ruo Li chuckled. "You've forgotten how well I get along with our Junior. Maybe he'll make the trade just because I'm pretty."

"Idiot."

"Are you talking about me or him?"

"You're the idiot. If he trades for it, he's an idiot too."

Ruo Li seemed to have made up her mind. "How will we know if we don't try? Worst case, I'll compensate him with a few million. If that's not enough, I'm willing to make a contribution to the Legion... even sacrifice myself."

Black Phoenix rolled her eyes. "Oh, get lost. You're clearly just smitten with him."

The sword's Attributes really were garbage. That's why no one from the Legion's Warehouse used it, despite it being a genuine Diamond-grade item.

Compensating with money was indeed an option.

...

Jiang Chen was lying in bed when he received Ruo Li's call.

"Junior, are you asleep yet?"

"Not yet."

"Are you in bed thinking about me?"

"You guessed right."

"I'm not in the mood to flirt right now. I have a level 30 Diamond-grade sword here. Its Attributes are mediocre, but I can compensate you with money. I just don't know if you'd be willing to trade."

Jiang Chen frowned.

Trash Attributes? Does she think I'm an idiot? Who would want a sword with trash Attributes!

Jiang Chen asked, "First, tell me about its Skill Attributes."

"Its Skill Attribute gives a one percent chance of triggering the Paralysis Attribute for one second. I admit, the sword really is junk."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly sat up.

Wait. Paralysis Attribute? A one percent chance to trigger the Paralysis Attribute, and she calls it trash? This damn thing is a Divine Artifact! It's even better than a Divine Artifact! With my hundredfold amplification, do you realize what that means? Isn't that... a one hundred percent chance to trigger the Paralysis Attribute? This is insane...

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. This is basically a Paralysis Ring! Imagine it: attacking monsters, paralyzing them instantly, killing them before they can even react! What a concept!

Jiang Chen said, "The Attributes of this sword really are trash. So, how much are you planning to compensate me with?"

"How about five million?"

"Five million? That's worth considering. If you add a bit more, I'll make the exchange."

"Seven million, final offer."

"Deal."

"Great! I'll give it to you after we get back to the academy."

"Alright."

The deal was done. Jiang Chen was beyond excited. A Weapon with a Paralysis Attribute might be trash for other players, but for him, it was a Divine Artifact.

What was mere probability in the face of his hundredfold amplification? It was nothing! This was like becoming a God!

My amplification is already so overpowered, Jiang Chen thought. Add a Paralysis Attribute to that... how is anyone else supposed to compete?

Jiang Chen's Offensive Power could already insta-kill many enemies, but what if he encountered high-level monsters?

At level 23, he couldn't insta-kill a level 40 boss. But with this sword, he could paralyze Demonic Beings instantly. Reaching the First-stage Map by level 30 didn't seem impossible anymore.
