Chapter 139: Still Trying to Play Tricks With Me, Huh?
After sitting on the bed for a while, Loria obediently picked up the identity card.
Thinking carefully, she could now be considered an experienced warrior, even though she hadn't personally eaten pork. She had seen plenty of pigs, and she had been a Shame-Powered Female Warrior for some time now, so there was no need for such a strong reaction.
"Whether it's a Sex Knight or a Shame-Powered Female Warrior, as long as it makes me stronger, it's not a problem."
Loria reached out and tapped the identity card, unfolding the detailed description of the Darkmoon Priestess profession.
First of all, it's important to clarify that although this profession is called a priestess, it's actually a knight class profession!
The reason it's called a priestess is because compared to other knight professions, its fighting style is very unique.
Regular knights charge into battle with their large swords and shields, while Darkmoon Priestesses typically use prayer magic to strengthen themselves or weaken their opponents before a fight.
This is similar to professions like Sword Magicians.
The difference is that Sword Magicians use conventional elemental magic, while Darkmoon Priestesses' prayers often have unusual effects that make people think they're unbelievable.
[Give up one's desires and gain power enhancement.]
[Give up one's happiness and add a melancholic effect to the weapon.]
"Wow, if that's the case, wouldn't I be invincible? After all, my desires are as constant as products on an assembly line. Even just walking could become awkward if my underwear doesn't fit properly and triggers arousal."
Loria was shocked.
However, as she continued reading, she realized that this profession had many limitations for her.
The profession of the Shadowmoon Priestess doesn't have active sword techniques. To master advanced sword skills, she had to explore and discover on her own. Moreover, the method to increase her strength in this profession is quite unique.
Want to become stronger?
No problem, just spread erotica.
As long as she successfully spreads her own eroticism to others, she can gain corresponding improvements. The more people she spreads it to, the greater the enhancement she will receive.
This is the effect of the special talent "the Crowd of Dark Moon" possessed by the Priestess of the Dark Moon.
However, this spreading is not just any spreading. It's not considered spreading if you tell someone erotic stories. Only when you make the other person feel the warmth of your body and make them indulge in it, then it is considered successful spreading!
"Um..."
Loria is a bit confused.
Isn't this basically persuading her to become a geisha?
After becoming a geisha, as long as she works hard, she can entertain at least seven or eight people in a day. In a year, she would have entertained at least two to three thousand people.
No.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a geisha, it can also be a mermaid queen or a female slave, but the efficiency definitely can't compare to a geisha who can leave all restrictions behind and "commit crimes on the move."
"What the heck is going on."
Loria was speechless.
In the past, she had no choice but to think of becoming a geisha if things really didn't work out.
Being a geisha was tiring, but at least she earned money while lying down.
Now, she wasn't really short of money and she even got close to the guildmaster, a wealthy woman. Why would she go and be a geisha?
She was a pure-hearted girl. Every time she looked at the job suggestions on her identity card, she completely ignored the geisha profession at the top.
Even if she truly gave in to her body, she shouldn't become a geisha.
Because the porn industry is a service industry, she couldn't just let her body be used recklessly.
In doing so, she exerted all of her efforts to make seven to eight or even more customers happy, but her body only had a slight response. She was far from being satisfied or fulfilled.
If this continued, she feared that the fire within her might burn her to death.
"It's better to go and defeat the succubus like we did in the practice, that way the succubus will be happy, I'll be happy, and normal people won't get hurt because of me."
Loria shook her head.
Geisha is not suitable, and neither is the Dark Moon Priestess.
In the practice, she could do whatever she wanted, but she definitely can't do that in real life.
As a result, the Dark Moon Priestess's unique talent, "the Crowd of Dark Moon," becomes useless, like giving up the advantages of this profession directly.
It's not worth it, let's take a look at that Blood Shield Knight instead.
Loria's fingertip slid down to open the new instructions.
The Blood Shield Knight is a special profession that controls blood in battles. It has a very powerful burst damage, but the downside is that it becomes weak after fighting.
Loria thinks that the reason why her ID card recommends her to switch to this profession is because she has the skill of Healing Through Breathing.
"For others, this weakness can last for several days, but for me, it's only a maximum of ten minutes, but..."
Loria hesitated.
Her compatibility with this profession was actually not very high.
Although she had the dual-purpose attack skill called Succubus Shockwave, she had always relied on her high endurance and tough opponent to wear them down. If she suddenly changed to become a Blood Shield Knight, it would be like giving up her endurance advantage.
"emmm..."
Loria was deeply conflicted.
In the end, she chose the profession of Darkmoon Priestess.
The profession wasn't really that important. She had her own way of fighting. While most people rely on their profession's special abilities to become stronger, she had a simulator. As long as she engaged in intimate activities in the simulator, she could quickly accumulate endurance and become stronger.
"Isn't it just missing a core talent? Having those prayer spells is enough."
Career change.
Occupation: Dark Moon Priestess (C)
[The girl who worships the Dark Moon bathes in its gentle light and willingly devotes everything to the Dark Moon. However, the Dark Moon possesses a seductive tenderness, granting not only power to the girl, but also the utmost pleasure and happiness.]
[Talent - Hyper Sensitivity replaced with Talent - Dark Moon Maiden.]
[New talent - the Crowd of Dark Moon.]
[New skill - Seductive Sacrifice.]
[New skill - Melancholy Flower.]
[Skill - Heart of the Succubus upgraded to skill - Dark Moon's Heart.]
[Attribute adjustment.]
Compared to the Shame-Powered Female Warrior, the transformation into the Dark Moon Priestess comes with six changes and, as the attributes improve, new skills can also be acquired.
Loria checked one by one.
The Dark Moon Maiden and Hyper Sensitivity are not much different, only the description has undergone significant changes.
[Dark Moon Maiden]: Your body is naturally made to embrace happiness; stimuli from desires will make it easier for you to enter a state of extreme excitement.
There is nothing much to say about the effects of the Crowd of Dark Moon, Sacrifice of Desires, and Melancholy Flower. Loria just checked them recently.
The only thing worth mentioning is that due to her desires far exceeding normal levels, when using Sacrifice of Desires, she can increase her strength by a maximum of 12 points.
"Feeling better now, this way, strength is no longer my weakness."
However, Sacrifice of Desires and Succubus Shockwave are opposing skills.
Once desires are sacrificed, it is impossible to generate shockwaves in a short period of time; there is no such feeling, can't get the rush even if she wants to.
"During battle, you must carefully consider."
Loria opened the Heart of the Succubus again.
The Heart of the Succubus is a passive skill that provides her with a 10% attribute bonus when she becomes extremely excited. It is even more powerful than the previous Heart of the Succubus.
It not only increases the bonus to 15%, but also has an additional benefit. For every 10% increase in excitement, it can increase her mental attribute by 1 point, up to a maximum of 10 points.
"Not bad."
Loria is already accustomed to this situation.
The customized black cat-girl armor she wears not only has excellent defensive capabilities, but also has strong absorption and purification effects. Things like sweat will no longer affect her performance.
Diapers and Miss Plump Sheep's water magic will have to be retired.
"This is how magic changes lives!"
Loria looked at her attribute adjustments one last time. The Darkmoon Priestess gave her 3 points of strength, 5 points of endurance, and 5 points of spirit.
With this, her base attributes were very good-looking.
[Attributes]: Strength 61, Agility 44, Endurance 106, Intelligence 18, Spirit 58, Charm 13.
Except for intelligence, which was still very low, her other attributes, including various bonuses, were not holding her back anymore.
"If my intelligence is a bit low, it's fine. After all, my main focus isn't magic, and this doesn't affect my intelligence."
Loria happily put away her identity card.
After successfully changing jobs, she noticed some changes in her body.
First, her skin became even paler and smoother, as if water would come out if you squeezed it.
Another change was in her eyes, which had a small alteration. The originally pure white irises now had a layer of silver-gray, making them look more deep and mysterious.
Luckily, the shape of the pupil didn't change. If it had turned into a ❤ shape, Loria would have been worried.
"I will definitely be mistaken for a succubus, and then everyone will constantly want to come and challenge me, right?"
Loria shook her head.
Now that she had the equipment and her strength had improved, it was time for her to quickly investigate the escaped route of the finance minister.
Loria became very serious the next day.
Instead of going to Dr. Mara to train endurance, she spent all her time simulating and adapting to her new abilities.
Simulating didn't actually take much time, the main thing was to adapt to the new abilities.
While still in Creek Town, she obtained a battle card as a reward from the simulator.
Originally, she had planned to use this battle card on Vita, but in the end, it didn't happen. Now she could practice with the finance minister.
Duel cards can bind to any target whose strength is not higher than a C-level adventurer, and then generate a replica to battle in the virtual space.
So, Loria spent an afternoon beating up the Finance Minister in the virtual space.
With her increasingly diverse combat skills, it was effortless for her to deal with the Finance Minister, who was comparable to a D-level adventurer.
She didn't even need to use the Succubus Shockwave. Armed with the Coagulated Blood Blade, enhanced by the Enchanted Ring and the effects of the Melancholy Flower, she was able to make the Finance Minister flee in embarrassment.
But the difficulty of getting rid of the Finance Minister didn't lie in the Minister himself, but in the bodyguards surrounding him and his position.
"Now that he is preparing to escape, we don't need to worry about his identity anymore. The only thing we need to be concerned about is the bodyguards he hired."
Liya and the others agreed wholeheartedly.
They had previously sent assassins to kill the Finance Minister, but his hired bodyguards were exceptionally skilled, often catching the assassins right after they approached his house.
Loria continued, "The reason the Finance Minister is running away is because he was scared by the Hidden Leader. We need to use this to our advantage, make him even more panicked, so that we can seize the opportunity."
This is the idea she had been thinking about for a long time.
She had figured out how to scare people, by pretending to be the Hidden Leader!
She had come into contact with assassins like Vita and Sylph, who were Hidden Leaders, so she could definitely pretend to have some charisma.
After discussing the strategy, Loria threw herself back into the simulation.
The investigation into the Minister of Finance went quite smoothly. She chose the simplest but most effective method—
She simply waited near the Minister of Finance's house.
Although she was attacked and beaten halfway through, she successfully found out when the Minister of Finance would flee.
It will be tomorrow night!
"Only one day left? But it's almost enough time. Even if we had one or two more days, there wouldn't be much time to prepare."
Loria began to try scaring the finance minister in the simulation.
The effect of this move was unexpectedly good. Faced with the sudden attack of the Hidden Leader assassin, the finance minister directly used a "clever move".
He divided the escaping troops into four groups, running in different directions, trying to confuse the Hidden Leader's assassins so that he could escape smoothly.
If Loria didn't have the simulator, this move would truly be considered clever.
But there aren't that many "ifs".
"So you want to play games of trickery and deceit with me, sister? I will tear you to pieces!"
After two simulations, Loria successfully eliminated two wrong answers.
"There are still two paths left, and with our current number of people, we can divide and go both ways."
On the day of the operation, Loria gathered everyone together.
As the father of Miss Plump Sheep, Coleridge didn't want to see his daughter in danger, so he hurried over.
This is a pleasant surprise!
Loria had tried to seek help from other magicians before, but all of them refused without exception.
They were willing to join forces against the Church of Goddess of Madness and Indulgence because they were being targeted. Now they had no grudges towards the minister of finance and didn't want to take risks.
Loria understood the comparison, she wasn't a demon after all, and couldn't force others to do things they didn't want to do.
"We've had enough of this."
Loria's gaze swept over the guildmaster, Miss Plump Sheep, Coleridge, and others including Liya.
The guildmaster's leg had a minor problem, but it wasn't a big issue.
In Loria's plan, the guildmaster and the others were responsible for tracking and delivering information, while Loria herself was the main force.
"How can I say that I am now a C-level adventurer, I can't rely on the guildmaster for everything."
Even if you're living off someone else, you still need to do it skillfully.
Loria doesn't want the guildmaster to see her as a clueless fool, other than being good at grinding levels. If that's the case, getting married to the guildmaster would mean becoming a machine to satisfy the guildmaster's desires, wouldn't it?
Although just thinking about that kind of setting made her legs tremble with excitement, thinking and doing are different. She still wants to make herself more useful.
Anyway, it's time now.
Loria took out her big sword and raised it high. "Let's go!"
With a light shout from her, everyone solemnly headed towards the treasurer's residence.
