From Beggar to Emperor: My Profession Has Its Own Characteristics

Chapter 81 Speculations on Reputation and Career

Zhu Yuan quickly checked the record of experience gained from the peddler profession today.

[You've been diligently running your small business, earnestly hawking your wares, and have successfully made it a long way. Professional Experience +1.]

[When you see a scoundrel of a dog demon harming people, you, as a peddler, step in. You save the people and even kill the demon. Your reputation as a kind-hearted peddler begins to spread, and your efficiency in gaining professional experience increases.]

[■■I admire your deeds and would like to buy your sewing kit. You easily sell a sewing kit, earning the corresponding amount of money and +5 to your professional experience.]

[■■ thinks you're a very nice person and wants to buy your rattle drum for their son. You easily sell one rattle drum, earning the corresponding money and +4 to your profession experience.]

[You've been diligently running your small business, earnestly hawking your wares, and successfully covered a slightly longer distance. Your professional experience increases by 1.]

I've finished reading all the records from this afternoon.

Zhu Yuan discovered that he didn't need to walk a long distance; he only needed to walk a little further to gain some experience as a peddler.

"This is the first time I've ever recorded such an increase in the efficiency of gaining professional experience."

"The reputation gained by a professional peddler can affect the efficiency of experience gained from the profession —"

Looking at the records in the ancient books, Zhu Yuan began to speculate.

His first thought was to consider the situation in conjunction with that of other professions.

"Even if beggars are excluded, porters and butchers should be of reference value."

"The improvement of a peddler's reputation makes my goods easier to sell, so is this related to the people I serve?"

"Well, it's probably related to the people I serve. When I was a porter, I theoretically had a good reputation among the porters at the docks, but porters weren't the people I served, so there was no such thing as gaining experience and increasing efficiency."

Zhu Yuan shook his head.

"No, no, when I was a butcher, I also killed a worthless demon, and for that I received a reward. At that time, my service was to the slaughterhouse, so why didn't the increase in reputation affect the efficiency of gaining experience?"

"Could it be because the reward was applied for for me by Manager Ji? But the manager is just a manager, while the peddler's customers pay him directly—"

As he thought about it, Zhu Yuan realized he had made a mistake.

Because he thought of another point.

"When I was working at Uncle Zhao's house, the person I was serving was Uncle Zhao!"

"Does it mean it needs to reach some kind of order of magnitude?"

"But—some services are only available to a small number of people."

The more Zhu Yuan thought about it, the more confused he became, because he couldn't figure it out.

Inside the house, Zhu Yuan, who still had his eyes closed, suddenly thought of something important.

That means you could ask ancient books.

He hadn't asked about the ancient books in a long time.

Having thought of this, he immediately took action.

The response I received was just as vague as the situation when I was looking for a job.

At that time, choosing a job was a natural progression.

The current vague answer is...

A profession, the right thing to do.

"Oh, this—"

Zhu Yuan closed the ancient book in his mind and opened his eyes.

For vague answers like these, he would later summarize the patterns and confirm the answers for himself.

Now, through continuous exploration, he has a general idea of ​​what to do with his career.

These general answers have helped him to better prepare for the job.

"I'm not thinking about it for now, which is a good thing for me."

The increased efficiency of accumulating experience in the peddler profession can help him level up to level five faster and unlock the last trait.

He had previously thought that once the butcher profession reached level five, he would spend more time working as a peddler, otherwise, by the time he became a martial artist, the peddler profession might not have reached level five yet.

There's no need to worry now.

With less time spent as a peddler, he wouldn't need to dedicate extra time to it, thus preventing any slowdown in his progress towards becoming a martial artist.

The records in this ancient book also told Zhu Yuan that he would gain more experience as a peddler when customers bought things he didn't need urgently or things he hadn't originally planned to sell, without him knowing their intentions.

February 4th.

Zhu Yuan is fourteen years old today.

Zhu Yuan celebrated his fourteenth birthday in a simple way: he simply enjoyed a delicious meal.

If it's your sixteenth birthday, then you should celebrate it more formally.

I went to work at the slaughterhouse early in the morning and had lunch at the Dongyun Martial Arts School at noon.

Occupation: Butcher Level: Lv4 (2055/4000)

Having gained experience as a butcher today, I now have less than two thousand experience points to reach level five in the butcher profession.

Based on his current frequency of visits to the slaughterhouse, the Butcher profession will reach level five by the end of this month, thus unlocking Trait Three.

As a third-tier profession, the Butcher profession's third characteristic is the blue characteristic.

This will be the first time Zhu Yuan unlocks the blue trait.

He couldn't possibly be without expectations.

"Zhu Yuan".

"Senior Brother Zhou."

"You have sparring today." Zhou Ping walked closer, his gaze sweeping over Zhu Yuan to make sure he was in good condition before continuing, "It will take about an hour."

"During this period, when you have almost finished your training, remember to take a break to avoid affecting your performance in actual combat training."

""

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou." Zhu Yuan nodded in agreement.

After saying this, Zhou Ping said no more, turned around and left the small training ground to arrange other matters.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was standing not far from Zhu Yuan, immediately came over upon seeing this, with an excited smile on his face.

"Zhu Yuan, your practical skills are excellent. I'll come and cheer you on!"

Zhao Tiezhu's voice was loud and clear, indicating that he had great confidence in him.

Zhao Tiezhu knew about Zhu Yuan killing the good-for-nothing pig demon at the slaughterhouse; his father, Zhao Dazhu, had told him.

Although the incompetent pig demon was restricted at the time, it was still quite impressive to kill it in one blow.

More importantly, when Zhu Yuan was a peddler, he decisively killed the dog demon in Xiaoyang Street and saved the little girl.

Zhu Yuan did not mention either of these things.

If it weren't for the fact that the following incident happened on Xiaoyang Street, where he lived, and spread like wildfire, he might not even know about Zhu Yuan's glorious achievements.

"Okay, let's start cultivating."

Zhu Yuan smiled at Zhao Tiezhu, said nothing more, and simply turned his attention back to his cultivation.

"good!"

Seeing this, Zhao Tiezhu also stopped smiling, got back into his stance, and prepared to continue practicing.

One hour later.

They arrived at the largest training ground in the martial arts school.

This is where Dongyun Martial Arts School conducts practical sparring.

There were quite a few people here today, and he even saw Dong Lingyun.

When he arrived here, Zhou Ping walked towards him.

"Zhu Yuan, that's your sparring opponent for today."

Following the direction Zhou Ping pointed, Zhu Yuan first saw a pair of long legs.
