Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

Chapter 85 Hidden Title Exchange Directory: All Four Basic Professions Available (4k words)

Although nothing has happened yet, Leo has a strong premonition:

If one allows this desire to "steal" to dominate them, it will lead to terrible consequences.

"No!"

"I still know far too little about the potion system in the Western Regions!"

"I must quickly brush up on this related extraordinary knowledge!"

"My cheap brother is self-taught, and when he teaches, he subconsciously overlooks many things, so he's really unreliable."

"Ideally, you should find a specialized institution for exceptional learning and start from scratch, supplementing your knowledge little by little!"

Leo took a deep breath; he had already made up his mind.

At present, the crisis in Baihe Town has been temporarily resolved, and there is nothing of great importance to pay attention to before the Silver Moon Maze opens.

He can take the time to go to the Western Regions specifically to solve the problem of the magic potion.

"I knew it! If someone at Sequence 9 can master such super-powerful mechanics and skills, how could the only price be a slightly lower chance of promotion?"

Leo inexplicably recalled a phrase.

"The gifts of fate often come with a hidden price."

Just because he didn't notice many things doesn't mean they don't exist.

The best solution is to nip it in the bud!

"Potion digestion rate ————"

Leo kept repeating this word in his mind.

The next moment, with a slight thought, he used [Mirror Return to Origin] on all three of the thief's special abilities.

Three orbs of primordial power, comparable to master-level skills, hovered before the Primordial Mirror. Leo frowned slightly, feeling a sudden and intense sense of weakness, especially the loss of the ability to "command" the power of shadows, which made him very uncomfortable.

—Traits: Low-level Shadow Mastery Iv.1 (Gray - Unusable), Thief's Hand Iv.1 (Gray - Unusable)

Blind Spot Iv.1 (Gray - Unusable)

All three special skills are unusable, but—

In the "Occupation" column, the shadow sequence he has already practiced still exists, only now there is an additional (gray) word after "thief".

Leo fell into deep thought.

The transformation to the Primal Realm is equivalent to draining all the nutrients from one tree and transferring them to another. However, the tree whose nutrients were drained will still have roots underground. This is the "anchor point" of Leo's ability to transform at will.

In the past, this was a good thing for Leo.

But now, even though the price of being a "thief" turns skills and professions gray, it will still have an impact because of the existence of this root system.

This means that even if all the nutrients for the "thief" are removed, the existence of its root system will still bring drawbacks and impacts.

"The Primordial Realm cannot avoid this influence —"

Leo felt heavy-hearted.

After a hasty breakfast, Leo hurriedly headed to the guild under the slightly worried gaze of his maid.

He was going to exchange something.

Although he decided to go to the far west to find the root cause and solution to his "abnormality," he knew that sharpening his axe wouldn't delay his work.

There are far too many "old silver coins" in the Western Pole. He should raise his strength to its current limit before going to the Western Pole.

The main advantage is that it won't take too much time.

Soon, Leo arrived at the second floor of the guild.

He went straight to the "Professional Skills Exchange Center".

Today, the exchange manager is still lying on the wooden chair, leisurely rocking back and forth.

Sensing the commotion, the old man slightly opened his eyes, saw it was Leo, and softly said, "Same as always, look for yourself, and call me when you've chosen—"

Before he could finish speaking, Leo had already taken out an exquisite blue-and-silver medal and waved it in his hand.

The old man could no longer sit still.

Just a moment ago he looked like he was on his deathbed, but now he's incredibly agile.

He sprang to the front of the counter, leaned forward, and stared intently at the medal in Leo's hand.

After confirming that the details were correct, he looked away in amazement: "I never expected this, I never expected that our Baihe Town Guild would produce another outstanding adventurer who has won the Medal of Honor."

"Leo the Kid."

He raised his hand and gave Leo a thumbs up: "I heard from others that when the beast tide attacked yesterday, a shadow..."

"Captain, you turned the tide, that must be you, right?"

Shadow Captain?

Leo's lips twitched.

In the adventurer community, outstanding adventurers are often given a title.

Those who "claim" themselves to gain fame and fortune will never be recognized.

Only titles like "Shadow Captain" for Leo, which are recognized by many adventurers, will gain acceptance and spread.

These kinds of titles often carry the adventurer's strong personal style.

Just like Sylvia's title "Azure Silver Swordswoman".

Appearances can be deceiving, and career paths can lead to different outcomes, but a recognized "title" can often reveal an adventurer's general abilities.

Leo shook his head helplessly.

That's it.

Having a "title" is better than having none.

It can be said that it has gained some initial "fame" in this world.

"Leo, now that you have the Medal of Honor, the list of items you can redeem has expanded considerably. First, I'll get it for you."

As they were talking, the old man went back into the inner room. When he came out again, he had a much thinner booklet in his hand, but the binding was obviously much more sophisticated.

Leo took it, opened it, and immediately his face lit up with surprise.

Several new entries have been added to the redemption booklet, namely:

—Rare profession.

—Bronze Tier Job Skills—Advanced Jobs Following the Four Basic Jobs.

—Etheric Armor—Alchemy Potions: "These are all good stuff!"

Leo was overjoyed and quickly flipped to the detailed page corresponding to "Rare Professions".

But the excitement in his eyes gradually cooled down after just one glance.

There are only two rare professions on the page.

There's a class called "Moonlight Swordsman" that requires 500 contribution points and is marked "Exclusive to the White River Town Adventurers' Guild, available to holders of honor medals." It should be the rare class that Sylvia works for.

Another one is called "Rune Warrior," which requires 300 contribution points. It is marked "Provided by the Adventurers' Guild Headquarters of Rafa Province. Those who hold honor medals can exchange for it. Those who exchange for it need to go to the headquarters to receive guidance."

expensive!

It was the rarity of the profession that gave Leo his first impression.

In comparison, the four basic professions that are "gifted" for free are incredibly affordable!

Leo looked at the general introduction of the [Moonlight Swordsman].

"【Moonlight Swordsman】: Bronze-level class, prerequisite class: Warrior or other Iron-level classes that are proficient in using melee weapons."

Prerequisites: Basic attributes (discoverable after redemption), required profession skills (discoverable after redemption), completion of the Moonlight Ritual (discoverable after redemption), and possession of werewolf blood (a diluted subspecies of werewolf blood is also acceptable). (A vow must be made after redemption.)

(This agreement must not be disclosed.)

Are the requirements really that complicated?

Moreover, it's a Bronze-level profession?

Leo glanced at another rare class, [Rune Fighter], and found that it was also a Bronze-tier class, and immediately shook his head.

He currently lacks the ability to take on bronze-tier professions; these two rare professions are practically useless to him.

"As expected, professions of rare quality or higher, such as those of the Black Iron rank, are simply impossible to obtain through conventional means."

Leo grinned.

He could understand that.

In a world where extraordinary powers exist, absolute power is the most important cornerstone for maintaining rule.

If he were the ruler, he certainly wouldn't allow the supermodel's extraordinary power to run rampant.

Leo even felt that if it weren't for the rampant monsters in various places, even the four basic professions would probably not be allowed to leave the country.

"So it seems that if it weren't for the Medal of Honor, I wouldn't even be able to see the rare professions in the exchange list."

Leo shook his head and quickly scanned the other directories.

Bronze-tier class skills require the support of Bronze-tier Aether elemental power. While he can use Shadow power, it lacks the corresponding class spirit enhancement, resulting in low power, high consumption, and poor cost-effectiveness.

There's no need to look at the advanced professions after the four basic professions.

However, in the "Ether Armaments" and "Alchemy Potions" categories, Leo found some useful items that he could currently use.

—【Ether Weapon - Moon Crystal】: A bronze-tier standard weapon forged by master blacksmiths using highly refined moonstone ore. It boasts high toughness and sharpness, as well as excellent aether elemental conductivity. The weapon type can be specified. Exchange Price: 800 Contribution Points. (After exchange, it will be crafted by the master blacksmith at headquarters. After half a month, it will be delivered quickly via a special delivery method.)

—【Sacred Heart Potion (Common Quality)】: A superior version combining the Gold Tempering Potion and Moonlight Dew Potion. One of the most difficult Tier 1 potions to concoct, its effects are significantly enhanced compared to these two potions, without causing any hidden harm to the body. Exchange Price: 100 Contribution Points + 10 Gold/bottle. (Limited to 5 bottles per person per month. After exchange, it will be delivered quickly using a special delivery method.)

—【Sacred Heart Potion Recipe】: The exchange price is 300 contribution points (a vow must be made and it cannot be shared).

—【Sacred Heart Potion Materials】: Exchange price is 10 contribution points/serving.

"Etheric Armaments and Sacred Heart Elixir —"

Leo pondered.

These are the two things he desperately needs.

His sharp longsword was on the verge of breaking down, and he needed a new weapon that suited him. Ether Armor was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, crafting the Aether weapon takes up to half a month, and it's a standard item that can't be customized, so he can't add the melee gems he just acquired.

More importantly, this item requires 800 contribution points, and after exchanging for it, he would have no contribution points left.

"We'll have to talk about it another time—"

Leo sighed, then looked at the old man behind the counter: "I want to exchange for the [Sacred Heart Potion Recipe], and 10 sets of the corresponding materials."

Although the Sacred Heart Potion is extremely difficult to make, with his master-level brewing skills, Leo felt that his success rate in brewing it wouldn't be too low.

In the long run, it offers far better value for money than direct exchange.

A look of surprise appeared in the old man's eyes, but he said nothing and just nodded.

"It costs 400 contribution points in total, and the items should arrive in about two days."

It's much faster than I expected.

Leo was curious about what this so-called "special delivery method" was.

Then, he exchanged for the job skills required to become the basic professions [Archer] and [Wanderer].

[Slide Step] meets the job requirements for both professions, so Leo only needs to exchange for two more skills corresponding to those professions.

Archer: Precision Shot (50 contribution points), Multishot (50 contribution points), Night Owl Breathing (200 contribution points)

Wanderer: Backstab (50 contribution points), Tendon Slash (50 contribution points)

There are a total of 400 contribution points.

Leo selected highly difficult professional skills, and correspondingly, the effects of these skills were more unique.

After exchanging all his points, the 800 contribution points he had just acquired were completely gone.

At that moment, he couldn't help but think of Mr. Seekda, the Hand of Shadows.

Thanks to his gift, I was able to save the 150 contribution points I needed to exchange for the Spirit Cat Breathing Technique.

Two hours later.

Leo returned to his room at the Wild Boar Tavern.

At this moment, five new skills that he had just redeemed appeared on his panel's [Skills] section.

Because of the beast tide, there is no shortage of basic-level Iron-rank professionals in White River Town. Leo easily found a "mentor" and learned the corresponding skills.

Now, he no longer needs to hide the fact that he is learning various professional skills.

With his increased strength and status, this little matter can no longer affect him.

To some extent, he had done a favor for Chairman Lucas. As long as he didn't wantonly slaughter civilians, even if he did something slightly outrageous, Lucas would most likely turn a blind eye.

"Let's begin."

Leo sighed softly.

In the short term, the only way for him to quickly improve his strength is to "get" the professional spirits for free.

First, there's the [Archer].

In the blink of an eye, he transformed [Precision Shooting], [Multi-Shot Shooting], and [Night Owl Breathing Technique] to the mastery level.

As he circulated his breathing technique, Leo's consciousness quickly rose and arrived in the Aether Realm.

Similar to when I took up the [Shield Guard] job last time, the Archer's class spirit was stuck for a long time before "very reluctantly" casting a stream of light.

Leo followed the same method to apply for the job of "Wanderer".

This time, not only was the waiting time longer, but the force of the departure was also more intense. Even though there was no communication during the process, Leo could feel the anger of his professional spirit.

inside the room.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that it's unlikely that the Black Iron tier class's professional spirit will continue to get freebies."

When he took up the job of "Wanderer", he almost thought he was going to fail.

"It must be some kind of error correction mechanism in the etheric realm that detected my anomaly."

"Fine, after taking up one of the four basic professions, I won't be able to acquire a new Iron-tier profession in the short term."

Leo turned his attention to the panel, and with a thought, he transformed the corresponding marks of the two skills he had "borrowed" for free, along with the Black Iron Body, into Primal Power.

"A total of four portions of Primal Power equivalent to expert-level skills —"

After a moment's thought, Leo decided to use them all on the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique.

I need 5000 more experience points to upgrade the Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique to Mastery.

The four expert-level Primal Powers can provide 6220 points of Breathing Technique experience.

That's enough to advance it to the Proficiency level!

"What are the effects of mastering the legendary breathing technique?"

Leo had been curious about this for a long time.

The moment the decision was made to land, four primordial forces were poured into the [Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique].

Gradually, the skill, which originally had light gold lettering, began to change color towards dark gold, and eventually solidified.

[Wolf Hunting Breathing Technique Iv.5]!

Leo looked at the skill description with anticipation.
