    “I am a beta yer in Big Horn Vige. A few days ago I changed my vocation to mechanics with ck Phantom. Initially, I thought this is a very strong ss, but after switching, I realised that being a mechanic is totally different from what I had expected. The skills are trashy and the equipment are easily damaged, but I could only repair them after I have bought the materials. My gun just died like this! I’m so mad!


    “Thebat power is rather weak too. One public beta test yer who was 4 levels lower than me came up for a challenge. He didn’t even have a main vocation, and his sub-vocation was a mere [Hunter]. We fought for 11 rounds, and yet I didn’t win any of them at all! For a main vocation to lose to a sub-vocation, while being 4 levels higher, this mechanic vocation is just a pile of shit.”


    ... I was fooled by that video of ck Phantom. Damn I was scammed. Those senior NPCs always have NPC temtes as bonuses. ck Spirit is not even a yer! Hisbat power doesn’t even have much of a tingle!


    ... This mechanic vocation is so weak in its early stages. Maybe it would be as strong as ck Phantom’s eventually, but you will be starting way behind others from the beginning. It takes even longer to reach the same level as the rest! What’s more, the mechanic vocation relies on machineries, and the materials used to make the machinery costs a lot of money. This ss is perfect for the local tyrants. If you don’t have money, don’t even try!


    This mechanic vocation has no future, seems like I cannot use this ount anymore. I can only restart another ount and retrain. What a trash vocation!”


    Luzman’s response was full of resentment. He had even uploaded videos of him losing in battles. Many people had echoed him in thements, pushing his post to the top of the responses.


    After ncing through other posts, Han Xiao realised that most of the posts had traces of Luzman. That guy copied and pasted thements so many times. Many others found his resentment to be over the top and they argued with Luzman on the forum too.


    Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. This was not totally unexpected. The yers would realise sooner orter that the mechanic vocation is not suitable forbat in the early stages. Luzman was the first one and he would not be thest. These grievous people only fell for the trap because they were attracted by his video and had simply chose whichever vocation that was strong. The moment they realise that it wasn’t what they had imagined, they would feel deceived and angry.


    There were also yers who liked the mechanic vocation who ignored these useless arguments andints. Some yers were in the game for entertainment while others wanted to be the strongest in the game. Luzman was clearly one of thetter.


    These negativements would definitely affect his business, and since there was only one chance to choose a main vocation, yers would be more cautious, especially first-time yers.


    Han Xiao shook his head. He had wanted to attract more yers into the pit of mechanic vocation to expand his market.


    “Seems like I have to reaffirm yers in the value of the mechanic vocation, I can’t just rely on disying my strength...”


    The programme continued running. Off the script, the male MC said, “we have just received the unreleased promo clip on the next version of the game from Gxy. Do take a look. ”


    The screen began to y another video. Just as what <Gxy> had announced, this promo video focused on the battle scenes of each vocation.


    The heavy armoured knight appeared full of energy. The tip of his gun emitted smoke, and it hit a group of iron-shielded guards. The crash was loud like a thunder, and bodies were flying all over.


    A tribe with horns controlled the elements around them. mes slithered and wrapped around their body like a snake.


    A magician stood in his cloak, and a web of light appeared beneath his feet as he chanted. Light rays of magic shone out from his fingers.


    The bald-headed sorcerer used his mind to manipte objects around him. He released an invisible strike his opponents around him, causing them to fall one by one with their noses bleeding.


    The clips were all very realistic. It was gorgeous!


    This was only a demo of the promotional clip. Nothing was finalised. The clips were recorded by new yers from every, and there were only a few clips from senior yers for the time being. They barely got together the battle scenes of the five main vocations. The battle scene for mechanic vocation was a clip of ck Phantom in action. Han Xiao was the first advance yer to demonstrate hisbat power.


    There were a several clips showing the jaw dropping scene at Big Horn Vige, as well as scenes of the interception battle at Tedramira River. Sniper, rifles, turrets, squadrons, and even the vicious Fury de was featured in the clip.


    The yers was all engrossed in the scenes. They were all exhrating moments.


    “I didn’t know I got selected to be in the promotional video!”


    Han Xiao was a little surprised. He still rememberedst season’s promotional video. The scene for the Mechanic vocation was just the process to produce a machinery, and most yers assumed that it was a more of a support role. Hence, only a few yers switched to the mechanic vocation.


    ording to the first version, the proportion of yers in the mechanic vocation was only 9.7%! This promotional video alone attracted tons of interest from the yers. Mechanic vocation wouldn’t be as bleak as before. He wasn’t afraid to risk yersining and regretting on the forum in exchange for attracting more yers over.


    This promotional video also improved his poprity, and this was much more effective than word of mouth. Han Xiao was overjoyed. He expected his fame to shoot up in no time.


    The next line-up on the programme was about professional yers. The male MC said, “Within 10 days of public beta, tons of famous e-sports clubs have shifted to the game <Gxy>, and ording to statistics, Esper is currently the most popr one. This ss is a lucky draw, if you get a high level skill, it is equal to 10 million lottery tickets! The future is unlimited!


    It is known that the United States, South Korea, France, Japan and Switzend all have ounts with A-ss potential rating, and the various big clubs have offered prices for these ounts, worth millions of US dors.”


    The screen shed wildly. Almost a million US dors to buy a novice ount? It was simply a lottery! Good luck would mean making a fortune immediately.


    “shing News: The American Devil Club, Sandstorm Club, France Tulip Club, and the Korean Four Star Club have already bought the ounts. They will be used by the club’s elite yers.


    And the God-level yers will still be using their own ounts... American elite yer ‘King and Queen’ has changed to the magician vocation and was rewarded with a rare skill through a hidden quest. French elite yer ‘Lost Angel’ has chosen to start at random and he seems to have obtained a opportunity. South Korea...”


    Foreign e-sports yers all seemed to be performing very well. China’s e-sports scene wasn’t weak either, but only a few managed to hit the top spots. Champions of many events had long been upied by yers from the United States, France, Japan and South Korea. If you coud win a championship, local yers would celebrate as though it was a festival. They would be bringing honour to their country.


    “Local yers are performing rather well. A yer by the name of ‘Feng Yue’pleted the reward pool quest on her own, gaining over hundreds of thousands of experience points, bing the biggest winner. It is extremely beneficial for her future development. Who knows, maybe the advantages woulde snowballing in. This task was rted to ck Phantom...


    A dark horse by the ID of ‘Fury de’ was among the professional yers. During a meeting at Jiang Cheng club where Fury de was at yesterday, they had released a video. It was the battle scene in the promotional clip with ck Phantom, and I believe everyone had also noticed Fury de. He seemed to have triggered ck Phantom’s hidden quest...”


    The clip of Fury de was sent in by Luminous Moon. In order to raise their profile, the club had used it for publicity, just when the Chinese professional yers were feeling down about theirck of outstanding performances. This brought Fury de lots of attention.


    “... This would be the end of this week’s content, we look forward to seeing you next time! The following are details for the lucky draw. During this episode, how many times was ck Phantom mentioned? Please drop a message to the official ount. We will draw 10 people...”


    Han Xiao couldn’t stopughing. He then switched off the screen.


    Han Xiao’s name came up the most in the entire show. The audience had the perception that that everything good had some kind of corrtion to ck Phantom:


    ck Phantom = Opportunity!


    Han Xiao didn’t expect that his name to appear on the screen so many times. His n had some good returns. His poprity rose yet again. And more importantly, after the programme was broadcasted, more yers woulde aboard to change their vocation, allowing him to earn more experience points.


    He did a rough estimate, based on this trend, the number of mechanic yers on Aquamarine would likely be two or three levels higher than previously.
