Shen Mu did not choose immediately. Instead, he looked back and forth between his character panel and the Goddess of Luck, feeling a bit apprehensive. He planned to make a bold move and wanted the Goddess's favor…
But the target he was about to act on was precisely the Goddess of Luck!
How many chances does one get in life to fight? If not tonight, then tomorrow morning!
After making up his mind, Shen Mu gritted his teeth and directly used Begging on the Goddess of Luck. The Goddess, who had originally been wearing a slight smile, paused for a moment before laughing and saying,
"How cunning! Alright, I'll give you a chance!"
As she spoke, she extended a fair finger and gently tapped Shen Mu. A system prompt sounded:
"Ding! You used Begging on the Goddess of Luck. Begging was successful. You have gained the temporary status buff: Goddess of Luck's Favor!"
Thank you, Goddess!
As Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, he vigorously waved his arms a few times. Sure enough, the Goddess had shown him great favor!
Goddess of Luck's Favor (30 days):
Buff Effect: Maximum Luck +10, Item Drop Rate +10%, Success Rate +10%, Critical Hit Rate +10%, 1% chance to ignore damage when attacked.
Additional Trait: Easier to discover lucky items!
!!!!
After seeing the effect of this powerful buff, Shen Mu almost went to kiss the Goddess twice again. His Luck only seemed to increase by ten points, but in reality, it was a massive ten-point increase!
It had increased elevenfold!
'Begging' dad… There were a lot of people outside just now, is it too late for me to apologize to you now?
With the Goddess of Luck's favor, Shen Mu immediately chose to randomly select a profession. If his guess was correct, then…
"Ding! Selection complete. You have successfully changed to the special hidden profession: Hidden Walker. Profession Specialization activated. You have comprehended the profession's special skill: Hidden Hand, and profession skills: Shadow Strike, Shadow Cloak. Agility +5, Strength +5!"
Oh my goddess!
Hidden profession?!!!
After hearing the system's voice, Shen Mu's breathing became rapid. He quickly checked the profession's description:
Hidden Walker (Thief Class): Walks in Secrecy, proficient with blades and daggers, poison is a loyal companion, Shadow Power is the source of strength, physically weak but strong-willed, equally adept at Stealing and assassination.

The grand hall was incredibly quiet. Shen Mu stood there in a daze, gazing into the Goddess of Luck's eyes, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Without a doubt, the Hidden Walker hidden profession was very powerful. Both its profession specialization and special profession skill were exceptional. Especially the former, it practically elevated the strength of all Shadow-type skills to a new level.
Moreover, this specialization skill could be upgraded, and he could already see his bright future of infinite stealth!
The special skill Hidden Hand was also very strong, similar to a Thief's Stealing, and its effect was also powerful. It also had an additional 'active Taunt' effect. The most crucial point was its skill priority, which was equivalent to a talent.
Priority is a common setting in online games, generally referring to the order of skill effects, mutual counter-effects, cancellation of controls, target selection, and so on.
For example, low-priority dispelling or purification skills cannot affect high-priority control skills!
Hidden Hand's priority is equivalent to a talent, and its target selection, like Begging, is unrestricted!
Then—
Shen Mu's gaze subtly fixed on the Goddess of Luck again…
"Please favor me again, Goddess!"
He said in his heart, as his right hand stealthily reached towards the Goddess of Luck. The latter imperceptibly shook her head, and with a gentle tap of her finger, Shen Mu instantly vanished from the hall.
"How insatiable!"
A faint murmur echoed in the hall. The Goddess of Luck's figure disappeared, replaced by a stunned Light Priest.
…
At the Newbie Village resurrection point, a white light slowly glowed, and Shen Mu's figure appeared. He covered his backside with his right hand, grimacing and saying,
"Although I've seen the promotional video and official website announcements, this level of virtuality is too exaggerated. So this is what it feels like to be bitten to death by a tiger!"
Shen Mu's sudden departure from the hall did not immediately bring him to the Newbie Village. Instead, he was teleported to a certain forest where the monster levels were all question marks. Before he could react, he was bitten to death by a Six-Winged White Tiger.
As for the monster's name… the system told him when he died, which was very thoughtful!
"I didn't expect my first time to be taken by a tiger like this!" He shook his head with a bitter smile, then was surprised to find that the surrounding players had all moved away from him.
"Brother, awesome! I thought it was already pretty hardcore for a Druid to turn into a bear and do that, but I didn't expect you to go straight for a tiger. Impressive, impressive!"
A Shield Warrior player stood opposite Shen Mu, giving a thumbs up and exclaiming.
