When Lin Sen came back to his senses from the system’s message, he had already followed the class into the school field.
He looked around.
The huge field was filled with people. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiety. They were all students who were about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony and awaken their professions.
Meanwhile, Lin Sen was still outside the field when he saw the equally anxious parents of the students.
It seemed that they were even more nervous than the students participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.
Lin Sen also spotted his sister among the bustling crowd.
She was dressed smartly in a black suit. Her slender waist was part of her wonderful figure.
The high-waisted professional sheath skirt accentuated her porcelain-white legs, making them look extremely long and slim.
Seeing her brother looking at her, she raised her fair hand and waved at Lin Sen.
Then, she made an emoticon act of “Go, Little Brother.JPG”.
Today was the critical moment where he would awaken his profession. His sister had specially used her only day off for this month to come cheer him on.
Lin Sen couldn’t help but feel even more nervous inwardly.
This heavy love and care from his sister left him unable to imagine how disappointed she would be if he were to awaken a useless profession such as a farmer, and how she would continue to console him despite it.
“Silence——”
Boom——
A thunderous and dignified voice came from the podium in the field, instantly suppressing all the noise.
Lin Sen, along with everyone else, turned to look at the middle-aged man who suddenly stood on the podium.
——Zheng Kuangyi!
Gold-grade combat professional!
At the same time, he was also the Principal of Lin Sen’s school, one of the few people who stood at the peak in Canaan Region!
Ever since the emergence of the Two Dimensional Doors and the birth of professionals until now, Xia Country had divided the professionals into grades of Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Black Gold.
Above.
As a civilian, Lin Sen had no idea about it.
Once upon a time, becoming an honorable Gold-grade professional and making his sister the sister of the fifth strongest person in Canaan was an unattainable dream for Lin Sen.
As for now…
Lin Sen glanced at the system’s “Awakening Profession” mission and his heart became even hotter.
System.
It has been eighteen years.
I haven’t asked you for anything all these years, right?
It’s not too much to ask you to let me awaken a powerful profession and become one of the best in Canaan, right?
“Before the coming-of-age ceremony, let me tell you what I think.”
Principal Zheng Kuangyi’s voice was very deep.
“It’s a long story.
“Decades ago, countless ferocious beasts and demons from another world invaded our world through the Two Dimensional Doors.
“The entire human society was caught off guard and half of our population was wiped out!
“And today, the reason why you don’t have to live precariously and have a stable life is all because generations of people united and sacrificed with tears and blood to build the blood-colored Great Wall.
“So.
“I hope that everyone, regardless of whether you will awaken a combat profession or a life profession, do not be arrogant or give up.
“We will take revenge on the beasts and demons sooner or later!
“However, for everyone, for Xia Country, and for the future of the entire human race, please stick to your posts and shine in your own positions!”
The students’ blood began pumping as they listened to the motivating speech.
Lin Sen clenched his fists.
His parents in this life had died under the claws of a ferocious beast.
He could empathize with the tears and blood the Principal had mentioned.
“Alright, the Profession Transfer Crystal has been built. All students in the third year will go forward to awaken their profession according to their numbers!”
The white-robed worker, who had been standing in the corner of the podium, resing with his eyes closed, heard this and went forward to take over the Principal’s position.
“In order.
“Student ID 00001, Han Tianzuo, please come on stage for the awakening ceremony.”
A well-dressed and high-spirited young master stepped onto the podium confidently.
“Tsk, he’s indeed a rich young master of a tycoon. He’s always competing for first place everywhere. He’s even the first to go on for the coming-of-age ceremony.”
“His father is a Gold-grade combat professional like the Principal. The Han Corporation is rich and powerful. They’re ranked among the top in Xia Country. Even the Principal doesn’t dare to offend them easily.”
“Sigh, I heard that corporations have ways to increase the probability of awakening combat professions, but they guard them tightly and monopolize the combat professions. The principal just said that we each have our own role to play but now… I can only say that some people are born at the finish line.”
“Come on. At least we’re not the worst. Those who can’t afford the high school fees and can’t even attend the coming-of-age ceremony are born as oxes and horses.”
The group whispered among themselves.
Lin Sen sighed.
The resources required for the coming-of-age ceremony were very expensive, and school fees rose with it as well.
His sister had to take on the workload of dozens of people to afford Lin Sen’s tuition.
However, compared to those who couldn’t afford the tuition fees and became the true bottom rung of professionals, he was actually still better off.
At least,
so long as Lin Sen became a professional, he would always have a job in the future and would not starve to death.
This was also the reason why his sister worked so hard to send him to school.
“Eh, Han Tianzuo… has awakened a combat profession?”
Everyone’s whispers were ignited by this exclamation.
They raised their heads and saw Han Tianzuo opening his tightly shut eyes. He put his hands down from the Profession Transfer Crystal, and his entire body was enveloped in golden light.
A sharp aura emanated from his body.
“Congratulations. The combat profession, Ragin Swordsman, is a very powerful profession.”
The staff smiled and congratulated him.
“A Ragin Swordsman!?”
“Is it the Ragin Swordsman who is known as a pay-to-win swordsman? The more flying swords he can equip, the more powerful his weapon will be?”
Some students below the stage who had carefully checked the profession information could not help but be shocked.
“A Ragin Swordsman, together with the financial strength of Han Tianzuo’s family. This guy’s future is limitless!”
“I don’t believe that there’s nothing fishy about the young master of a consortium awakening a profession that can win by spending money.”
“It seems that the rumors that the consortiums have grasped the method to actively awaken the corresponding professions are indeed correct.”
Discussions broke out below the stage. On the stage, Han Tianzuo’s lips twitched as he revealed a disdainful smile.
“A bunch of trash.”
After that.
He ignored everyone’s expressions of silent anger.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the field without looking back. He left in his hovering luxury car.
The principal closed his eyes and rested, as if he did not notice.
In this world.
Those with money and power indeed enjoyed special privileges.
Lin Sen frowned slightly. There was a moment earlier.
He sensed it.
That unattainable young master of a consortium had glanced at him with a malicious gaze.
Was it an illusion?
After Han Tianzuo left, the coming-of-age ceremony continued.
During this period, other than a few combat professions where most were awakened by rich young masters who had connections with the Han Corporation,
most civilians had awakened life professions.
“0365, Lin Sen, please come on stage.”
Finally.
Lin Sen took a deep breath and slowly walked to the podium.
At the staff’s signal, he placed his hand on the Profession Transfer Crystal and slowly closed his eyes.
Ding!
“Congratulations, Host. You have awakened the profession——Farmer!”
“Mission rewards have been issued. You have obtained a profession-specific weapon (Growable). The system has been renamed God-level Farm!”
Ding!
“Congratulations, Host. The profession-specific weapon (Growthable) gift bag has been opened. You have received a Mythical reward—[Fruit of the Kabbalah Tree of Life] x1.”
