“[Spirit Medium], a neutral casting profession! So…should I take up this job?” Su Lu tightly gripped the parchment.
This reading didn’t bring him any experience points, probably due to the material and the energy it contained.
After all, the previous two pieces were forcibly taken from someone else’s scriptures by Rod, while these pieces of parchment were more like ordinary diaries.
[Ding! Detected first-order profession information – Spirit Medium! Need 1.5 Spirit and 1.0 Constitution to take office!… The condition is met! Do you want to take up the post by consuming 200 experience points?]
“As I thought…l can take up the post directly!”
Seeing the message that popped up in the attribute column, Su Lu’s face lit up: “By using experience points, I can quickly improve and also take on multiple jobs…”
Of course, experience points are hard to come by.
In this period, it’s not like Su Lu didn’t beg Rod to restrain himself, or intentionally lose to him once.
The result was that the attribute column didn’t recognize it.
He didn’t know whether it was because Rod had no hostile intent or deliberately restrained his strength.
“Wait… this judgment of hostility is very subjective! With all kinds of strange abilities on the Transcendent side, maybe someone can manipulate others to feel this emotion… then it would be a huge wave of experience?”
Su Lu’s eyes lit up: “Or… is the attribute column’s judgment based on threats to me personally? There could be loopholes to exploit… No! If I always think about exploiting loopholes, I’ll end up killing myself someday.”
In fact, he had long known a way to gain a large amount of experience points, and that was to kill!
Creating a large amount of terrible slaughter by his own hands would be enough to gain a substantial amount of experience.
But Su Lu, who had lived two lives, hadn’t personally killed anyone yet. His moral values were shattered, but he hadn’t reached the point of total collapse and darkening.
Moreover, this world, at least in the human world, is largely peaceful. A butcher popping out of nowhere would definitely trigger a joint suppression from various forces.
“A massive slaughter… do I have to join the army? Or… go to the Exploration
Team?”
The world is very large. Humans have discovered and occupied less than 10%, and large areas are still waiting to be explored and discovered.
In those dark regions, various kinds of strange creatures live, or life-restricted areas have been formed, which are very dangerous.
Therefore, the casualty rate of exploration teams is very high, but it’s also a prime source of experience points.
“But…with my current strength, going to explore the marginal world is simply suicide… The major geographical discoveries of mankind all occurred during the Twilight of the Gods. Nowadays, when Transcendent power awakens, it would be good if I can maintain my existing achievements.”
Su Lu shook his head, shaking his thoughts out of his mind: “Anyway, I don’t have enough experience points to advance now!”
He read on.
He discovered that for ordinary people who want to become [Spirit Mediums], they first need to ingest a large amount of drugs to increase their ‘perception’ , so as to gradually approach the requirements of [Spirit Medium].
This step involves a great deal of danger. Those without firm determination or
those who become addicted to hallucinogens often go mad. They may see something they shouldn’t see, become mentally abnormal, or even die immediately.
When the aspirant’s perception finally meets the requirements of the [Spirit Medium], they will undergo a ‘Spirit Communication Ritual’. They have to stay alone in a completely enclosed room with no sound or light, similar to a military confinement room.
Then they create an environment that spiritual beings most like, and carry out a dangerous spirit summoning, summoning a spirit.
Through the spirit’s stimulation, the aspirant’s spirit undergoes a qualitative change, and they are promoted to become a [Spirit Medium].
Of course, the failure rate of doing this is high, and those who fail are often directly possessed by evil spirits or transformed into beasts.
“According to the description on this… the success rate is about 50%, it’s completely like gambling with one’s life…”
Su Lu sighed.
The promotion of any Transcendent is not a simple matter.
Of course, according to Rod, [Soldier] and [Apprentice], as long as they undergo rigorous and painstaking training and study, have some talent and firm will, their success rate is around 60%-90%, far superior to most first-order professions.
As for [Pact Demonist], the success rate is only 40%, even worse than [Spirit Medium], indeed a high-risk profession.
“I have two choices if I want to become a [Spirit Medium]. The first is to directly consume 200 experience points and immediately advance to become a first-order Transcendent! The success rate is 100%, or even if I fail, there shouldn’t be any danger!”
“The second is to follow the job information step by step, crazily increasing my
‘perception’ like a madman, and then complete the ‘Spirit Communication Ritual’… Even if everything goes well, it will take about three months to half a year…”
Wasting so much time just to take up the job of a ‘Transcendent’, Su Lu certainly didn’t want to.
Of course, if it’s some ordinary person, like Donald, if he knew there was such an opportunity, his eyes might turn green with envy.
It’s good enough to have a profession to transcend, where would they have the chance to be picky?
Only Su Lu Pottery, with his family background, a complete lineage of Demon Hunting, and a second-order [Demon Hunter] brother, can afford to make a slight selection and avoid some big pits.
Su Lu steadied his mind and continued reading.
The parchment was slim, and after recording these contents, it came to an end.
“…Catherine and Yalanis are like two angels … Darkness, please forgive me for using this word, but I can’t think of a better description…”
“Catherine is advancing rapidly in strength, I can see her ambition, the things hidden beneath her hot exterior, make me feel a bit wary, perhaps, I should limit her in advance. Compared to her, Yalanis is quite obedient … Her strength is advancing even faster than Catherine, I think I should consider the follow-up of [Spirit Medium] — [Mystical Scholar] … Kira Gales is an easy person to deal with. And the career path of the [Spirit Medium] is powerful enough in the later stage, even involving a secret job switch!”
When Su Lu read this, his eyes narrowed: “[Spirit Medium]’s advanced form is [Mystical Scholar]? Controlled by Kira Gales? This name sounds familiar…” He tried hard to recall, and immediately remember where he had seen it.
It was in the university library, “Study on Folklore and Beliefs” published by Sunflower Publishing House, the author was Kira Gales! A famous expert and adventurer in the field of mystic studies!
“I had a feeling that this person was not simple, it turned out to be a Transcendent, and… has a connection with this mysterious person, making the other party confident in obtaining [Mystical Scholar]
Su Lu was somewhat excited: “The career path system of [Spirit Medium] seems to have at least three or four tiers. It’s enough to deal with the current situation, and it seems promising in the future! And, it is considered a neutral profession, inclined to be a spellcaster, it might have a specialty in dealing with death…”
Spirits and evil spirits are undoubtedly under the category of Necromancy!
Su Lu had to admit that in his heart, compared to the unknown [Apprentice], the balance was increasingly leaning towards [Spirit Medium].
Anyway, with the attribute column, even if he took a wrong path, he could just start all over!
As long as he had enough experience points, he has confidence..
