Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 157 The Talent of a Scholar?

But Cumroni covered his pointed ears, pretending not to hear.

Leng Qingying felt uncomfortable being stared at and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I committed murder legally."

"Knoloa will offer bounties to bandit groups outside. I kill them for the bounty, and it's not illegal."

Oh, so it's a bandit-killing gang.

Come to think of it, there are actually bounties for this? I think I saw one at the Adventurers' Guild in the City of Circles last time.

However, at the time I was mainly looking for dungeons with ant-like monsters, so I didn't pay attention to this aspect.

So it turns out that bandit gangs exist in this world. It seems things aren't as peaceful as I thought.

"Lu Cang, can I come to see you later?"

"What do you want with me?"

"Let's discuss."

"You are now a level 4 assassin."

"What, you're scared?" Leng Qingying asked, tilting her head.

I'm getting angry...

Lu Cang said calmly, "As long as you don't suddenly attack me, I can accompany you to the arena for a sparring match."

Leng Qingying pouted.

What kind of assassin goes to the arena to spar?

"Shall we go hunt down a band of bandits? Let's see who kills the most?"

Lu Cang firmly refused, saying, "I don't plan to go out for the next two months."

After a pause, Lu Cang continued, "The month of death and destruction is dangerous, so you'd better not wander around."

After getting to know her better, Leng Qingying became more lively than she had seemed at first glance.

Lu Cang could also sense Leng Qingying's obsession with becoming stronger.

"Is there anyone you want to kill?" Leng Qingying suddenly asked.

Could you please not talk about this kind of topic in front of Cumroni?

Even if he did, Lu Cang wanted to pretend to be a good kid.

At least pretend to be a good kid in front of Cumroni.

"Not yet, but maybe in the future," Lu Cang replied frankly.

Leng Qingying said very seriously, "If you have someone you want to kill in the future, tell me and I'll kill them for you."

Lu Cang figured it out...

It's not that I want to kill you, it's that you want to kill me, isn't it?
There was just no excuse to kill.

Kumironi, that assassin is extremely dangerous...

Lu Cang turned to look at Kumironi.

Kumiloni kept his eyes closed, sipping his flower tea as if nothing was wrong.

Lu Cang could only sigh and say, "If you want to challenge me to a duel, I'm not available every day."

"I have a lot to do to become stronger."

"for example?"

"Learning magical knowledge and the like."

Leng Qingying: "Oh..."

I don't know if she really understands or not.

Are you free this afternoon?

"No time."

Leng Qingying was clearly disappointed: "Okay."

After having lunch with Kumironi, Lu Cang bid farewell to the two of them.

For the next three days, life didn't change much. Lu Cang reduced the time he spent in the Forbidden Library and spent more time in the White Tower.

I also started taking on some research on the White Pagoda.

Yuna is already a Level 2 Scholar. Scholars' learning speed is indeed amazing. She can now finish reading a book just by flipping through it.

There's absolutely no need to read it page by page like a normal person.

This made Lu Cang feel envious.

If I were to switch to a career as a scholar, would I be able to learn very quickly?

However, Lu Cang dismissed this idea shortly after it came to him.

There are so many convenient professions.

Every profession in this world is useful, and Lu Cang felt the urge to switch to another one.

However, Yuna's learning speed was indeed enviable to Lu Cang. He thought about how he still had the Royal Library, the Grand Library of Knoroya, the library of the Loinz Magic Academy, as well as the collections of the Magicians' Association and the Mage Tower, and so many books he wanted to read.

There's also monster studies, divination, fate studies, and so on... There's so much knowledge to learn, it feels like the road ahead is endless.

It seems that without becoming a polymath, things really won't work out...

However, let's first upgrade the decryption scholar to level 3.

Then I'll consider switching to a doctoral program.

Over this period of time, the progress of the deciphering scholars has been increasing every day.

Because of his recent promotion to Level 3 Warrior, the Decryption Scholar can now perfectly upgrade to Level 3, which requires 150 points.

Before advancing to Level 3 Warrior, 100 points are required.

The profession of deciphering scholars truly allows one to clearly perceive the influence of other professions.

Lu Cang was very worried that if things continued like this, he might really be unable to advance to a higher position one day.

The magician is alright; his own source magic has been unlocked, so he's not affected by his part-time job.

However, this may not be the case for other professions.

Perhaps from now on, we should pay more attention to whether there are ways to lower the requirements for changing jobs, otherwise, it may be very difficult to get promoted in the future.

The main progress of the decryption scholars lies in decryption.

Lu Cang has discovered enough mysteries now; the main problem now is to solve them all.

Having a scholarly profession won't significantly help you improve your decryption progress.

It's better not to switch professions now, as it would make it more difficult for scholars who want to decipher the code.

On the 25th, Izzy and the others set off, and Luluvi even went along.

Lu Cang was the only one left in Knoroya, but Iz said that his palace had a protective magic circle that he could activate if he encountered danger.

"Hmm... I don't feel as worried as before."

Lu Cang stood on the second-floor balcony of the mansion, looking at the pure white sky.

In November, the movement of stars is barely visible.

Because the celestial phenomena for the entire month were snow.

However, starting today, the snow has lessened considerably, and the influence of the moon is weakening.

But this is not a good sign.

Although the cold had subsided, it was replaced by an even stronger aura of death.

Lu Cang held out the black tea to his side, and the maid carrying the tray took it away.

……

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door of the mansion.

Lu Cang sensed and extended his gaze outwards.

The servants of the mansion soon came to report to him.

"Lord Lu Cang, a little girl has come to visit. She says she is your friend and her name is Yuna."

She really came; I invited her to my home yesterday.

However, when she scanned the area, she didn't see her parents. Did she come alone?
Her parents were truly at ease. A flash of light, and Lu Cang personally came downstairs to greet her.

Upon seeing Lu Cang, Yuna's eyes lit up: "Lu Cang, where is the monster corpse you said you were going to show me?"

Lu Cang took her to the basement alone; she really was a curious little girl.

The two entered the basement.

Lu Cang closed the basement door, added a seal, and locked it securely.

The basement holds too many secrets that must not be revealed to others.

"Yuna, we've made a deal."

"The secret here is known only to you and me."

"You can't tell a third person."

Lu Cang said earnestly.

Yuna nodded seriously.

That's what he said, but Lu Cang didn't actually intend to show Yuna too much.

Things that she couldn't see were separated by walls and placed in another compartment in the basement.

Lu Cang stretched out one hand.

Swish!
A huge leaf appeared on the basement floor.

This is part of the remains of the sunken-level flower demon that Chi Cheng slashed.

Yuna's eyes widened when she saw the remains.

Curious, I rushed over and stroked the patterns on the flower.

"Such beautiful veins, just like the ones described in the book."

Lu Cang curiously approached her and asked, "Does this vein have any special meaning?"

"These are the special patterns of 6th-tier plant-type monsters. They absorb life energy as nutrients through these veins. This cross-section is so clear. Look, this is a vasculature. The fluid in their bodies flows through this vasculature. These types of monsters are both plants and monsters. They have a very strong growth ability, and their weaknesses are extremely inconspicuous..."

Yuna suddenly became more talkative.

Holding the cross-section of the flower fairy, he talked animatedly, his expression and words filled with excitement.

"Did you know? The most direct way to see through a monster's physical weaknesses is to look for them according to its classification. Every monster has a corresponding classification, and their essential weaknesses for maintaining life also follow basic principles..."

"Actually, it's not necessary to split this flower demon in half. If you can split open the flower crown on its head and pull out a long, white tendon, it will die completely."

"If it's not white, it's probably yellow... but since it has characteristics of the soul element, it should be white."

"That long tendon is called the Thread of Life. It is the thread through which the souls of the souls of flowers, plants, and vines converge. Once it is pulled out, the person will completely lose consciousness and will naturally not regenerate."

It's rare to hear Yuna say so much in one go.

Previously, I would ask questions and she would answer them.

Or it could be a discussion where the two of them take turns saying a sentence...

I've never seen her like this before, talking nonstop.

"Yuna, what if it's a creature like that?"

With a thought, Lu Cang caused the void to crack open.

Summon a buzzing hunter.

Yuna's eyes seemed to be shining as she immediately tossed aside the flower vine she had been holding so dear: "Void creature!"

"You summoned this? Why can you summon void creatures?"

"What beautiful Void Crystal Wings..."

……

Yuna's curiosity about this world even surpassed that of Lu Cang.

This was the first time Lu Cang had someone to share the strange things he encountered on his journey.

This is completely different from Izzy.

Izzy is more passionate about the magical realm, but when she leaves the magical realm, she often seems uninterested.

He would only become interested if the item could be used for magical purposes.

But Lu Cang was actually interested in the whole world.

A strange world, a strange sky and a strange land...

However, the primary way to acquire knowledge is through reading books and understanding the world.

At first, things were fine; the unknown was the foundation.

But as one's knowledge deepens, one gradually begins to feel a unique kind of loneliness.

It's not that we can't discuss this kind of knowledge with Iz and the others.

However, something felt off; perhaps they weren't particularly surprised by what they had seen or heard?
At this moment, Lu Cang sensed a kind of vitality in Yuna.

Yuna is a companion who shares the same interests as her.

"You know the void?"

"Yes, I've heard my parents mention it."

"Iz didn't want me to know anything about the void at first, so how come your parents are telling you about it?"

"Hmm... they only mentioned bits and pieces."

"The Void is a higher dimension than our current world. My mother said that the Void was once a very prosperous world, but after a cataclysmic catastrophe, the Void fell and became shattered and nothingness..."

……

Yuna arrived during the day and left late at night.

"Lu Cang, I'll come see you again tomorrow!"

"You absolutely must show me your ritual!"

Lu Cang smiled and waved.

Sigh, I was planning to spend this afternoon in the forbidden library.

I didn't expect to chat with Yuna for a whole day.

However, he did gain a lot of knowledge about monsters, and the more they talked, the more Lu Cang felt that his heart was connected with Yuna's.

Scholars seem to share a kind of intellectual resonance.

Talking with Yuna, I could feel her knowledge being transmitted into my heart.

Not only in monster studies, oceanography, astrology, lunar phases, and even mathematics... Lu Cang actually gained some insights into these areas.

"I wonder what talent Yuna has awakened."

"Could it be a resonance of knowledge?"

"If that's the case, it might be more efficient."

Lu Cang thought to himself.

He then casually took out a book from his storage space: "On the Relationship Between the Developmental Milestones of Fate and Life as a Whole."

I wanted to turn the page and continue reading the pages I hadn't seen before.

Yet, I felt that as soon as I held the book in my hands, the knowledge recorded in it flowed into my mind like a gentle river.

Is this the specialty of polymaths?

It should be 【Expertise of a polymath – Knowledge Extraction】

Lu Cang already had some understanding of the characteristics and specializations of the common professions in this world, especially the first few levels.

This ability to extract knowledge directly from books must come from a polymath.

"I'll ask Yuna myself tomorrow... what talent she has awakened."

"I don't know if she would be willing to tell me, given our current relationship."

If I can borrow the Scholar's learning ability from Yuna, there's really no need to switch to Scholar in the short term.

This part-time position can be reserved for other, more useful professions.

For example... a prophet.
