“Zhang Qiang, role awakening complete–Shield Warrior! ”

“Li Xiaoming, role awakening completed–Shadow Priest! ”

“An Hui, role awakening completed–special role. Check the specific role yourself!”

On the field, hundreds of young men and women who had just turned 18 gathered. They were about to welcome a new beginning of their lives, the role Awakening Ceremony.

40 years ago, the real world had changed. As if it had merged with a game, as long as everyone was 18 years old, they could awaken their own role through a ritual baptism.

After completing the specialization, one could explore various dungeons and secret realms to obtain various secret treasures and experience points.

At this moment, it was the Awakening Ceremony of this group of young people. On the high platform in the field, a girl named An Hui immediately cried out when she heard that she had only awakened a support-type role.

There were all kinds of awakened roles, but they could be roughly divided into the most mainstream ones: Warrior, Mage, Priest, Assassin, and Hunter.

Most of the roles were branches of these five major categories, but other than these five major categories, there would be some people who would awaken a very special role.

Most of these roles were unimaginable, such as chefs, tailors, pharmacists, and other lifestyle roles.

If that was the case, it would be fine. Although the lifestyle roles were not as strong as the mainstream five major roles, and most of them did not have much combat power, at least they had their own uniqueness.

For example, eating the dishes cooked by chefs of high enough level could increase a lot of attributes, and tailors could also sew excellent armor.

However, there were simply too many types of special roles. Chefs and tailors were naturally excellent, but there would still be people who awakened into beggars, prostitutes, scoundrels, and so on. Moreover, such people were the majority.

In this case, it would mean that once one had awakened a special role, then one's future was destined to be dark. One would be far inferior to their peers who had awakened the five mainstream roles.

An Hui was crying on the stage, while the audience was sighing. After all, no one wanted to awaken a useless special role.

“Xiao Hui is so pitiful. She clearly wants to be a Priest. Xu Yuan, do you have a role you want to be?”

In the crowd, a young man and a young woman were talking. Both of them were outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament. Their every move attracted the attention of many people around them.

Xu Yuan lowered his head and looked at the bright-eyed girl in front of him. He smiled and said, “I don't care. What about you?”

“I don't mind,” the girl said with a sweet smile. “As long as it's not a special role!”

The girl's smile immediately caused the hearts of the young men who were peeking around to start beating wildly.

Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, the girl's eyes never left Xu Yuan for even half a second. This scene shattered the hearts of countless youths.

“Next, Lin Mucheng!”

The host of the Awakening Ceremony on the high platform shouted the next name. The girl who had said that she did not care subconsciously held the hand of Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan patted her shoulder comfortingly and gave her an encouraging look. Lin Mucheng relaxed a lot and let go of Xu Yuan as she slowly walked up the stage.

The so-called Awakening Ceremony was actually very simple. One only needed to place one's hand on the Awakening Stone to complete the body's systemization and awaken one's role.

The staff member on the stage looked at the name list in his hand. Spring City High School, Lin Mucheng.

He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and was slightly stunned. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Lin Mucheng, I wonder if Lord Lin Zhenhua, the Conqueror of the Red Land…”

“He's my father!”

In front of outsiders, Lin Mucheng was not as sweet as when she was facing Xu Yuan. Although she wasn't rude, she was a little cold.

The staff member gasped. It had been more than 40 years since the integration of reality and the game. The forces in reality had long been reshuffled, and countless new people had emerged.

Lin Zhenhua was one of them. After completing his role awakening 20 years ago, he soared to the top and reached the peak in just 10 years. He was ranked seventh on the Global Combat Strength Ranking.

He had long heard that Lin Zhenhua was different from the other big shots who could leave their names on the Global Combat Strength Ranking. He was very low-key in his conduct. The staff member did not expect to see his daughter in such a small city.

“Can we start now?”

Lin Mucheng asked in a lukewarm manner. The staff member seemed to have woken up from a dream. The difference in status was too great, so he didn't even dare to think about climbing up to her. He hurriedly said, “Alright, let's begin!”

As he spoke, he cast a spell and activated the Awakening Stone. Lin Mucheng also placed her slender and fair palm on it.

In the next second, a blue-white staff appeared on the Awakening Stone. The staff member announced, “Lin Mucheng, role awakening complete–Ice Mage… Wait, what?”

Halfway through, the staff member's eyes widened. After the blue staff pattern appeared on the Awakening Stone, a small and exquisite hunting bow appeared.

After being stunned for a while, he swallowed and said,” Lin Mucheng, role awakening complete–Ice Mage and Archer Hunter, two roles!”

The crowd below the stage became excited when they heard the results.

Awakening two roles was almost a legendary thing. The probability was one in a billion. In the past 40 years, there were only four precedents. These four people, without exception, had all become big shots on the current combat strength ranking. Now, there was actually another one.

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Mucheng. Many people had even taken out their phones to take pictures.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Mucheng walked down calmly, as if she wasn't the one who had awakened two roles.

“Hiss, two roles. In the future, China will have another big shot. In a few years, she will grow up. In the future Country War, she will definitely have a place!”

“Why is heaven so unfair? It's fine if she's so beautiful, but she actually awakened two roles!”

“Tsk tsk, as expected of the chosen one. She can still be so calm after awakening two roles! ”

Amidst the exclamations and discussions, countless people looked at Lin Mucheng with burning gazes, hoping that she would even give them a glance.

But the result was naturally disappointing. Lin Mucheng, who had a cold aura after awakening her roles, walked through the crowd without hesitation.

Then, something happened that made everyone's jaws drop. Lin Mucheng, who had been like an ice queen just a moment ago, came to Xu Yuan's side. It seemed the ice around her instantly melted. She held Xu Yuan's hand and said with a smile, “I've awakened two roles. Am I awesome?”

The expression on her face almost said, “Hurry up and praise me.”

This contrast naturally caused everyone's attention to shift to Xu Yuan. Many of the youths who were irritated looked at Xu Yuan with dangerous gazes. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Xu Yuan had not awakened his role to directly go up and stab him so that he would not blaspheme the goddess in their hearts.

Feeling these gazes, Xu Yuan felt helpless. He looked at Lin Mucheng with a slightly blaming gaze, but he was still happy for her from the bottom of his heart. Thus, he subconsciously pinched Lin Mucheng's small nose.

This was a habitual action since he was young. But he didn't know that his action almost scared someone to faint.

The heart of the staff member on the high platform was about to jump into his throat.

He shouted deep down, “Bro, what are you doing? Do you know who that girl is? She is not only the one in a billion awakening two roles, but her father is also a big shot on the Global Combat Strength Ranking!”

The daughter's Awakening Ceremony was such an important matter. Who knew if that big shot was watching from the shadows?

“No, I have to finish hosting the rest of the ceremony as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the big shot sees his daughter so close to another man, he might cause some trouble!”

Thinking of this, the staff member hurriedly looked at the next person on the list and shouted, “Next, Xu Yuan!”

Because of Lin Mucheng, when Xu Yuan walked up to the stage, he received no less attention than Lin Mucheng.

“Tsk tsk, a person who is able to gain the favor of a girl who can awaken two roles must not be bad!”

“That goes without saying. I reckon that even if it's impossible to have another person awakening two roles, it shouldn't be difficult for him to awaken a legacy role!”

The staff member did not expect that the next name he read out would be Xu Yuan. He did not dare to delay and hurriedly activated the Awakening Stone, indicating for Xu Yuan to put his hand on it.

In the next second, the image of a treasure chest slowly appeared on the Awakening Stone. There was even a big question mark drawn on the treasure chest, just like the staff member's current mood.

Raising their heads, the staff member and Xu Yuan looked at each other. After a long silence, the crowd below started discussing again.

“No way, another chosen one really appeared?”

“Did he awaken two roles or a legacy role?”

“Hiss, how terrifying! Oh my!”

After discussing for about half a minute, the staff member finally opened his mouth and announced, “Xu Yuan, role awakening completed–special role!”

At the same time, Xu Yuan had completed his awakening and obtained his role information.
