Chapter 8 - The Five Major Systems and Advanced Knowledge!
Chapter 8: The Five Major Systems and Advanced Knowledge!
In the early morning of the following day, the scene was set within the Iron Armored Porcupine dungeon, where Zhao Xing and Guan Ya made their appearance.
“Hehe~”
“Roar!”
The menacing roar of a monster echoed not far away, creating an ominous atmosphere. Zhao Xing, glancing at Guan Ya shining with a purple light beside him, felt an immediate sense of security.
What do I have to fear? Don’t worry, Sister Ya is here! This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com
“Zhao Xing, stay here and don’t move. I’ll handle the monster-killing for you,” Guan Ya instructed, holding a staff in her hand, her words sounding strangely familiar to Zhao Xing. Oh, Sister Ya said the same thing yesterday.
“Yeah, don’t worry, Sister Ya. I won’t wander around,” assured Zhao Xing. Guan Ya nodded and cast a water spell on the distant armored porcupine.
After a while, a prompt appeared on Zhao Xing’s panel:
“[Your teammate killed the armored porcupine, affected by the ‘cooperation contract,’ this killing experience is exclusive to you! You gain 341 experience points.].”
“It’s so cool,” Zhao Xing couldn’t help but exclaim.
While other students took risks and toiled to level up, he had a beautiful teacher escorting him. If the other students knew about it, they would probably be bursting with envy.
Idle and bored, Zhao Xing observed Guan Ya’s method of dispatching monsters with water magic. Blue Star had numerous occupations, broadly categorized into five major combat divisions: Technician, Magic, Martial Arts, Psychic, and Ability. These were further divided into tens of thousands of sub-occupations.
The Psychic Department had the fewest occupations but was considered to have the greatest potential. It was so rare that finding one could earn a recommendation regardless of the country. The next rare category was the ability system.
Debates regarding which profession was stronger were endless as Blue Star’s levels and dungeons increased gradually. In the beginning, Martial Daoists were recognized as the strongest when the dungeons were at level 20. However, as time passed, the magic and ability departments rose to prominence with the discovery of advanced knowledge and higher-level dungeons.
With the exploration of the level 60 dungeon, the title of the strongest combat power was successively taken by a fire mage from the magic department and then a Psychic from the Psychic Department.
“Reaching level 60 and above, completing career advancement, that’s when you can call yourself extraordinary. This is the essence of the Transcendent Academy,” Zhao Xing contemplated.
“Now, with dungeons and levels exceeding 70, I wonder if there will be stronger professions emerging in the future. Could it be the era when auxiliary professions dominate?”
Are there auxiliary professions capable of reaching an extraordinary level? Certainly, but they are incredibly rare. Advancing in careers and gaining experience through upgrading is not challenging for major countries, including China. The real difficulty lies in reaching the necessary attribute points for promotion and acquiring corresponding advanced knowledge.
On Blue Star, only a few major countries, including China, possessed a comprehensive knowledge of transcendental advancement and the ability to cultivate auxiliary professions. Smaller countries often prioritized attribute points for their main combat occupations, leaving little room for auxiliary occupations.
Zhao Xing often witnessed ineffective protests from certain small countries on the news, expressing discontent against powerful nations entering their territories without consent. This practice, euphemistically termed “humanitarian assistance,” often involved strong individuals from other countries invading dungeons born in the land of smaller nations.
China, on the other hand, followed a more organized approach. When engaging in exchanges with extraordinary professionals, they would apply in advance and submit to inspections. The euphemism for this practice was “humanitarian assistance,” and Zhao Xing often saw ineffective protests from certain small countries on the news.
Protests against the extraordinary powers of certain countries for entering other territories without consent were common. Unlike China, these nations lacked a system for applying and inspecting extraordinary professions, leaving them vulnerable to invasion by strong individuals from other countries.
“It’s fortunate to be born in a big country. Otherwise, what kind of chaos would this world be in… Oh, I’ve leveled up?” A warm current interrupted Zhao Xing’s wandering thoughts. When gaining experience by killing monsters, he would often feel this way—a ray of light appearing on the monster’s body and being absorbed. However, this time, the sensation was particularly strong, similar to the comfort of a hot bath in winter, spreading throughout his body. It was the distinct feeling of the comprehensive rise of four-dimensional attributes during a level-up, a sensation only leveling-up could bring.
Curious, he opened the panel to inspect the progress. As expected, he had reached level 10!
[Name: Zhao Xing]. [Occupation: Enchanter (Apprentice)]. [Level: Level 10 (3%)]. [Power: 55]. [Physical Strength: 55]. [Speed: 20]. [Spirit: 200]. [Equipment: None]. [Skill 1: Simple Enchanting: Enchant an item to slightly increase its original attributes for a while.]. [Talent 1: Multiple Amplification (Level 1): When performing enchantment, get a 10-fold amplification effect. If temporary enchantment, the duration also increases by 10 times.]. [Talent 2: Original Blessing (Level 1): When performing enchanting, it is 100% successful, with a chance of powerful special effects (attribute boost, skill boost, rule boost, concept boost).].“Level 10! Once I complete the knowledge advancement, I can be promoted from a trainee enchanter to a junior enchanter,” Zhao Xing remarked with a smile. However, he noticed that despite reaching level 10, the two talents remained unchanged, possibly due to the absence of advancement.
“Sister Ya! We can head back now!” Zhao Xing called toward Guan Ya.
Without advancement, killing monsters wouldn’t yield experience, so they needed to return.
“Oh, here we come! Have you reached level 10?” Guan Ya asked, waving the staff in her hand.
“Yeah, it’s already level 10. Thanks for your hard work, Sister Ya,” Zhao Xing expressed his gratitude. If not for Guan Ya’s guidance, leveling up as an auxiliary profession would have been challenging. Regardless of the school’s arrangement, Guan Ya was the one responsible for his progress.
“Let’s go back to school. I’m looking forward to your performance after completing the advancement stage. The principal and others are also very concerned about this,” Guan Ya said with a smile.
After taking the express train back to Anyang No. 1 High School, Principal Yang Tianming, who had received the news, was waiting in the office. He even prepared a cup of coffee for Zhao Xing.
“Zhao Xing, are you tired? You must be exhausted after staying in the dungeon for so long. Come, have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself,” Yang Tianming suggested.
Zhao Xing was puzzled. He hadn’t exerted much effort, given that he mostly rested in the dungeon. The monster killing was all thanks to Guan Ya.
Pushing the coffee to Guan Ya, Zhao Xing said, “Principal, I’m not tired. I’ve had enough rest in the dungeon. Teacher Guan Ya took good care of me. Let’s talk about advanced knowledge.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. Teacher Guan Ya has worked hard,” Yang Tianming chuckled. “I’ve already arranged for advanced knowledge to be brought here soon!”
