That's right, that's what adventure is like!

Roland carefully observed his own attributes.

Although this cheat doesn't have any special abilities like adding points, it can provide him with a reference and a clear goal for his future development.

"The average person's attributes are 5 points. My two outstanding attributes should be due to the extraction time gap last night."

Last night, after much research, he figured out the characteristics of the "time gap" combat technique, or rather, it shouldn't be considered a combat technique.

Because it is difficult to trigger actively under normal circumstances, it can only unleash the potential within the body and react quickly under special circumstances (such as fighting, breaking a vase, etc.).

It's somewhat like "bullet time" from my previous life, but there are significant differences; at least his movements don't accelerate.

Because this ability is passive and permanent, it resulted in a slight increase in his two attributes.

Even so, there is still a long way to go before meeting the job requirements.

"According to Ramona, a formal professional needs at least two attributes to reach 10 points, which is no easy feat."

As Roland pondered this thought silently, he suddenly smiled slightly.

This is where the benefits of the extortion association become apparent; having taken the risk to obtain two keys, they deserve a corresponding reward.

He took out a small, unremarkable tree root from his bag and threw it directly into the beer whose foam had already dissipated. After watching it decompose and dissolve, he picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

It's smooth on the palate, followed by a subtle malty beer flavor, which then transforms into an inexplicable spiciness that flows straight from the mouth into the stomach.

A warm sensation spread from his stomach, and Roland felt as if he were in a steaming hot spring in winter, with every pore on his body relaxing.

Unfortunately, this feeling lasted for less than a minute before disappearing, replaced by firmer arm muscles, faster reaction speed, and even clearer surrounding noise.

He became stronger.

In terms of attributes, this is reflected in the different degrees of increase after the decimal point, ranging from 1 to 3.

Although the quantity is limited and the items provided can only be used for a total of half a month, they have no side effects and are definitely top-quality goods.

What needs to be considered now is what path he should take next.

"Career is important. Although I can extract the abilities of countless professions through different items, if I want to advance, I still need to choose a main profession."

With Ramona's guidance, the world's career path has been fully opened to him.

The first thing to focus on is the type of job, which can be roughly divided into four types.

Physical classes store energy in their bodies through special methods of tempering the body, and then release it through combat techniques, such as warriors, assassins, and monks;

Spellcasting involves constructing a specific model through the perception of magic or other energy mediums, and releasing it in the form of spells, such as mages, warlocks, and druids;

Hybrid types are somewhat like a combination of the first two types, possessing both physical strength and the ability to cast spells. The ranger Roland encountered is a typical example, in addition to paladins, shamans, and so on.

The final special category was not mentioned in much detail by Ramona, who only mentioned professions that did not acquire power through conventional means. Roland speculated that it might include becoming an undead or making a deal with the devil, etc.

It is worth mentioning that in some churches, there are unique professions that, in addition to meeting the regular requirements for a profession, require one to pay the price of faith in order to take up the post.

Overall, there are a considerable number of professions, with the Adventurers' Guild alone recording at least several hundred. However, there is no inherent hierarchy among professions; it all depends on whether they are suitable for one's profession.

After carefully reviewing this extraordinary knowledge, Roland pondered his own situation:

"Among the skills I currently possess, I already have two physical combat skills. The warrior class is the best fit for me. If I want to take the job, I only need to extract one more combat skill."

"Although this profession is classified as physics-related, there are many career paths to choose from, and there are also suitable options for switching to a hybrid career, so the prospects are quite good."

"As a spellcasting class, with the ability to extract spells, I can learn spells very quickly, which can cover up the fact that my early-game methods are limited, and my growth rate is also quite considerable."

With a thoughtful look in his eyes, Roland seemed hesitant.

To be honest, he actually wanted to choose a class with high early-game strength, so that he could develop steadily and then use extraction ability to make up for any deficiencies later.

The problem is that most of the higher-intensity challenges in the early stages are either related to faith or require paying a certain price (such as paladins needing to make a lifelong vow to fight evil), which he really doesn't want to do.

After hesitating for a long time, Roland suddenly stood up.

He realized that since he couldn't make a decision for the time being, he might as well put it off until later, since it was still a long way from meeting the attribute requirements.

However, there is one skill that he must learn regardless of what profession he chooses.

Magic perception.

This is an essential ability to become a spellcaster or many hybrid professions, and even physical professions often require it.

The reason is very simple: all extraordinary phenomena are caused by magic. If you can't even perceive it, what kind of professional are you?

Moreover, the benefits of this skill are obvious. If one is sensitive enough to magic, one can detect traps in advance, guard against monster attacks, and gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the world.

That's it.

Having determined his current goal, Roland returned to his room and picked up the Dungeon Lord's Notebook from the Exchange Scales.

He hadn't paid much attention to this notebook before because he felt that self-learning was too slow, far slower than extracting information.

But he overlooked an embarrassing fact.

—The ability to be obtained cannot be predicted in advance during extraction.

This was a lesson learned from the extraction last night. He had originally thought that the previous owner of the Lost Coin, as an exiled knight who had been exploring everywhere, would have given him a skill similar to perception.

As a result, the concept of time slots is somewhat of a hybrid; while it can be extremely useful in combat, it doesn't significantly improve the efficiency of adventures.

Looking at it this way, although the spell notes in his hand were a bit slow to learn, they were clear and controllable, allowing Roland to know what he would gain next.

This effectively compensates for the shortcomings in extraction capability.

Wearing the ring that enhances concentration, Roland quickly got into the zone. The cold wind howled outside the window, rattling the glass, but it did not affect his concentration.

The flames rising from the fireplace cast a warm, orange glow, which clearly illuminated the handwriting in Roland's notebook.

His fingertips moved gradually along with the scrawled words, and his eyes went from clear to enlightened. The most basic extraordinary knowledge of this world entered his mind in a primitive and pure way.
