Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 8 Advancement
On Wednesday, after rummaging through the house, Shen He finally found a small box.

When they smashed it open with a stone, they found two sets of clean clothes, a few strings of copper coins, some silver coins, and a wooden plaque in the box.

Clothes, money, and travel permits!

Obviously, this is what I prepared for myself on Wednesday.

After all, in this world, you never know when good or bad luck will come. As a beggar with some brains, it is reasonable for him to leave some tricks for himself in case of emergency.

Unfortunately, he didn't use it, and it benefited Shen He instead.

Shen He took out a set of clothes, but did not change into them directly. Instead, he turned and walked into the courtyard. He took off his muddy beggar clothes beside the water tank and began to wash his body.

He had been planning today's events for a whole year and had a complete plan of his own.

Dealing with Zhou San and others is only the first step in this plan. The next more important thing is to get rid of the identity of a beggar and avoid being hunted down by the Beggar Gang.

Everyone knows their own business. With his current strength, he can deal with a few Beggar Bullies who have not yet joined the sect. But if he encounters a Beggar Gang disciple who really knows martial arts, he will most likely be doomed.

So, after killing Zhou San and others, how to get away became a problem.

Shen He had been planning for this for a year and had made many preparations, so he was already confident about it.

He immersed himself in the water vat and scrubbed the dirt off his body, especially the exposed parts such as his face, until the water in the vat became turbid and his skin was rubbed red.

After washing his body, he hurried back to the house, changed into the clothes prepared on Wednesday, and tied up his messy hair, revealing a clean face. He was not handsome, but at least he was no longer the beggar with disheveled hair, dirty face and hunched body.

Just a makeover, that’s all!
After doing all this, he picked up the silver and travel passes in the box, turned back to the big house where the bodies were, piled the hay that the beggars used as mattresses with the bodies of Zhou San and others, and then set it on fire, burning the dilapidated house as well.

Killing, arson, and destroying the bodies!

Thick smoke rose and a fire dragon gradually emerged. Shen He did not stay for long and turned to walk out the door.

But I don’t want to…

"Gah!!"

"Third Brother!"

The door opened and a beggar came in quickly, shouting loudly, looking quite excited.

"It's you?"

"you are?"

Shen He saw him, and he also saw Shen He, but their reactions were different. The former was cold, and the latter was stunned.

The person who came was none other than Zhou San's loyal lackey, the beggar who had previously exposed Heiwa's secret possession and had him beaten to death - Mao Liu.

He walked in excitedly, but was stunned to see the completely unfamiliar Shen He and the dilapidated house with smoke rising from the back.

At this moment of distraction, Shen He suddenly rushed forward, grabbed his head and slammed it against the door panel.

"Bang bang bang!"

There were several loud bangs in succession. Mao Liu was stunned and didn't know what was happening. Shen He pressed his head and hit him until he passed out.

Shen He did not hold back. He picked up a brick and hit him hard on the head. Then he carried the body and threw it into the dilapidated house where fire was spreading. Then he hurried away.

What is he doing back?
Shen He didn't know, nor was he interested in knowing. If one person deserved death, he would be killed, and if two people deserved death, they would also be killed. It was not worth his concern.

……

Carrying his bag, Shen He left the dilapidated house and headed straight for the city gate without stopping.

Although he now has Zhou San's pass and money, and can easily find an inn to stay in the city, no one knows how Zhou San got the pass, whether there is any connection, and who he will attract.

To be on the safe side, Shen He chose to leave the city.

It was not yet dark, the city gate was not closed, and Shen He did not encounter any accidents, so he left the city gate very easily.

When he arrived outside the city and in the countryside, he didn't bother looking for an inn or a house to stay at. He just found a big tree to climb up and lay down on a stable branch.

"call!"

Only then did Shen He finally relax. He leaned against the tree trunk and took a long breath, feeling unprecedented freedom. He even felt like a fish returning to the sea and a bird flying into the sky.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.

He is truly free!

Then you can let go and take every step carefully to conquer this world.

Shen He looked dimly, regained his composure, and reopened his career panel.

Dog Baby (Shenhe)
Occupation: Beggar.

Occupational level: Level 1, Level 10.

Professional talent: begging for mercy.

Professional skills: stone throwing, flying sand.

Professional items: throwing stones, flying sand.

General skills: Swallowing Yuan Gong, Xingyiquan.

……

"Professional level is full!"

"Do you want to try to advance?"

Looking at the prompt on the panel, Shen He's eyes flashed with joy. He actually reached the maximum level?

Shen He checked the experience records and found that this was not only the contribution of Zhou San's group of beggars, but also the credit of the final fire.

As mentioned before, the principle of gaining professional experience is actually the impact that professionals have on the world, not simply killing monsters, upgrading, killing and looting.

Therefore, the last fire brought him a lot of experience, and combined with the gains from killing Zhou San and others, his beggar profession level was directly raised to the maximum level.

What? Murder, arson, and destroying corpses are not within the scope of gaining experience in the "beggar" profession?

It is true that he is not there, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the person killed is not a beggar.

Shen He estimated that his actions of killing Zhou San and setting fire to the house were probably counted as "beggars grabbing territory", so he could also gain some professional experience as a beggar.

Regardless, the level is full, that's a fact.

So next…

"Advanced!"

Shen He's eyes narrowed as he searched his memory for information on career advancement.

After reaching the maximum level in your profession, you can try to advance.

Why is it an attempt?
Because this advancement may not necessarily succeed!

Generally speaking, there are four results of advancement.

The first is failure. Needless to say, all professional experience will be deducted and you will be demoted to level one and start over. This is the worst result and the nightmare of all professionals.

The second is success, obtaining a higher-level career. Needless to say, this is the pursuit of all professionals.

The third one is a bit special. It is between success and failure. It does not complete the level promotion, but obtains a new career. It is called the same-level job transfer.

The fourth one is even more special. It will only appear when multiple professions reach the maximum level at the same time. It is a fusion of two or even more professions to generate a comprehensive and more powerful high-level or same-level profession.

Shen He now has only one profession, so the fourth one can be ruled out, and only the first three results are waiting.

Is it success?
Or failure?

Shen He couldn't say for sure either.

But now that things have come to this, there is no other choice but to give it a try no matter what.

"Advanced!"

"Do you want to keep your talent?"

“No reservations!”

“Will you retain your professional skills?”

"..."

“No reservations!”

Faced with the prompts given by the career panel, Shen He considered for a while, and finally chose the safest way to advance, giving up everything and advancing with all his strength.

When advancing in a profession, you can choose to retain your talents and professional skills. If the advancement is successful, these talents and skills will not only be retained, but may even be promoted or strengthened together.

But there is always a trade-off. The price of retaining innate skills is a lower success rate in advancement.

The beggar's profession's talent of begging for mercy is really mediocre in effect, and it is not worth Shen He to take such a risk.

and so……

"boom!"

There was a slight sound, and a flood of memories emerged in his mind. It was all about what he had done in the past year.

Endure humiliation and beg for mercy and food.

People are cruel and the world is dangerous.

Plan carefully and strike first.

Blood splattered five steps away, ruthless and merciless.

One by one, everything appeared in my mind like a movie replay.

This went on for who knows how long.

"Advancement begins!"

"Professional Generation!"

"Based on your experience and deeds, you can choose one of the following first-level professions to replace your original profession of beggar!"

"Profession One: Beggar's Disciple (Beg, fight, and kill. You are already a qualified beggar, and you have the qualifications to take the next step and enter the Jianghu. You can gain experience through begging, fighting, gang battles, and killing in the Jianghu. The effect of practicing Beggar's martial arts will be improved. Each level up will slightly enhance your physical strength.)"

"Professional Talent: Martial Beggar (You have proven yourself through force. The effectiveness of practicing Beggar Gang martial arts has been greatly improved. Experience gained from fighting has been greatly increased. You can consume professional experience to transform it into a professional item - Dog Beating Stick!)
"Profession Two: Warrior (When a common man's anger spreads blood, you endure humiliation and secretly cultivate martial arts to break through the oppression. This heart of martial arts is confirmed by blood. You can gain experience through training and fighting, and the effectiveness of practicing various martial arts will be improved. Each level up will slightly improve your martial arts qualifications.)"

"Professional Talent: Stillness (You have practiced Stillness for a long time, even in your dreams. This has given you a unique understanding of Stillness, greatly improving its effectiveness.)"

"Profession Three: Hero (Faced with oppression, you resist, fighting back with blood and tooth for tooth. Although you fight violence with violence, you can still be considered a hero. You can gain experience by helping the weak and doing what is right. Each level-up significantly increases your physique.)"

"Professional Talent: Breaking the Law (As a knight who breaks the law with force, your actions are destined to be intolerable by the court's laws, but this does not shake your chivalrous heart. When you break the law by doing things like helping the weak and suppressing the strong, you can gain a lot of professional experience. The greater the legal crime, the more experience you gain)"
