Chapter 99： Tier 2 Career Planning

There are currently only three options for Su Lun to advance to Tier 2 professionals: inner city, gang, and black market.

The inner city is not considered for the time being, then there are only black markets and gangs.

The career advancement in the outer city is completely wild. Whatever conditions are available, advancement is not a system at all.

Many times, even if the profession and talent do not match, there is no choice at all, and their potential is wasted.

If Su Lun wants to rely on the internal resources of the Cross to be promoted, he must first become the team leader and obtain contributions and resources step by step.

But...

Even the captains of the Cross Society have limited options for advancement. Back and forth are the twenty or thirty advanced ways that cadres currently have, and most of them are common ordinary occupations.

Puppet master?

The kind of side-of-the-line professional, the entire Cross Society has never heard of it, so naturally it is impossible.

In fact, there are more than 8,000 first-level career options recorded by the "Alchemy Union" alone, and there are thousands of second-level career paths...

There are also those rare professions handed down from ancient times, which are even more dazzling.

Su Lun didn't want to waste his talent and potential in vain.

So, in fact, all he had in front of him was to try his luck on the black market.

Instead of groping around, it’s better to ask someone who has experience and knows how to do it.

As the former deputy dean of the Black Tower Alchemy Academy, Mr. Emirich is obviously more suitable.

...

When Su Lun arrived on the black market, he went straight to the "Rawson's Alchemy Shop".

He left a message for the boss, saying that he wanted to see that gentleman.

Then, as usual, he wandered around various shops in the black market to see if he had suitable cursing materials and mechanical parts.

Passing by the bulletin board, the original owner's reward announcement has been pressed in the corner.

The kind of task where no one has found a clue for a long time will gradually be forgotten.

This is also the situation that Su Lun wants to see.

And the few people on the top, except for a new "S-Class" bounty, the others are old acquaintances.

The one at the top of the list is still the mysterious woman.

Now the amount of her reward has soared, and the price of three million liso was given to provide the news.

Su Lun felt that such a high bounty did not find a clue. The woman either went to the outer city, or just like him, changed her face and hid.

Su Lun didn't look much, and went to the "White Beard Machinery Material Shop" at the bottom of the black market.

The shop owner's delivery channel is very wild, and the two body training equipment he bought before came from this shop. This time I didn’t think I was lucky. I actually found a "Leopard Ⅸ Micro Six-cylinder Steam Boiler" scrapped from the Neicheng Military Machinery Factory. It is small in size and beautiful in price. It can be used for repairs.

Su Lun bought it and plans to get his "Iron Man II" as a power boiler.

It’s also a coincidence that after shopping, he planned to go back to Green Street. He didn't expect to see a familiar man in the cloak when he passed the "Lawson Alchemy Shop" again.

"gentlemen?"

Su Lun walked over and tentatively called out.

The man in the cloak turned his head. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his voice was familiar and gentle: "Heh... the boss just told me that you want to see me, but I didn't expect you to leave..."

Su Lun confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, and directly explained his intentions, "I'm sorry, there are indeed some things to trouble you."

After all, the other party is a top professional, and he is so polite to him, a low-level professional, Su Lun also responded with courtesy honorifics.

The man in the cloak nodded, "Say as you go..."

The narrow alchemy shop where you can stand is not suitable for chatting.

...

The two walked on the streets of the black market and talked softly.

Su Lun said that he wanted some systematic alchemy knowledge.

The man in the cloak is not surprised, and even a little "helpful" means, "Knowledge is precious. But when I meet someone who sincerely wants to learn, I'm still willing to give some guidance."

"thanks."

Su Lun listened, but he didn't expect that he promised to be so refreshing.

Thinking of his identity as the dean, it's not surprising.

The man in the cloak said: "But there are too many systems of knowledge, medicine, enchantment, planting, runes, alchemy spells, machinery, forging, occultism, medicine... the alchemy that the outside world generally says is in black Tower College is subdivided into more than ten disciplines. Which one do you want to study?"

Su Lun has a lot of knowledge in his mind. If he wants to learn, he wants to learn. After thinking about it, he said: "I mainly want to learn alchemy and mechanical knowledge... But if I can, I want to refer to them all."

It's impossible to digest so many kinds of knowledge just by relying on textbooks to study by myself.

But Sulun has [Death Reaper].

If you change to another person, the cloaked person may feel that he is not greedy. But looking at Su Lun, he said such a sentence, "Hehe... somehow, I always think you will give me a big surprise in the future."

He didn't refuse, but just agreed, and said, "It's easy. It just so happens that I still have a set of textbooks that I used before, which can be regarded as the most complete and most suitable introductory learning materials for the entire old Lingdun. I don't need it now. I'm on it, I can just send it to you."

Su Lun heard this and said, "Thank you for your generosity. In the outer city, it is already commendable to get some knowledge."

The man in the cloak didn't care, he seemed to be smiling, "After all, my original name is a bit troublesome, you can call me ‘Mr. Black’."

He has a very relaxed tone, not at all timid like other wanted criminals, and said: "Just giving you a few books is not worth the favor I owe you. So... I think you should have something to ask me."

As always, the gentleman is unwilling to take advantage of others.

The other party understands "mind reading", and Su Lun is not surprised to hear this.

He didn't express much emotion, and went straight to the subject, "You know, people from outside cities have very little knowledge of the field of high-level professionals. I want to ask, is there anything special about advanced second-level occupations? Or. .. What are the advanced options for the second-tier puppet master you know?"

"Oh? When it comes to this question, no one seems to be able to answer you better than me."

Mr. Hei smiled, seeming to laugh at himself for his career in teaching and educating people.

...

"After becoming a professional, the follow-up advancement is actually to obtain the required abilities around your main profession. There is no fixed way to advance, depending on your own future career plans."

As Mr. Hei said, he glanced at Su Lun, and continued: "For example, a normal puppet master, the second-order path may choose'enhanced perception','enhanced skills', and'puppet element control' related curses to fuse. Obtain the ability to improve the control and combat effectiveness of the puppet. However, some special puppet masters who do not lack the means of attack may choose more advanced auxiliary capabilities, such as:'multiple purposes' and'space control'. After all, they can be manipulated The number of puppets is also a measure of the combat power of a puppet master; and some puppets with special laws cannot be placed in the storage ring, and the space ability is also very practical...what else, such as'corpse research','mind control' ','Elemental Annihilation','Reverse Alchemy', etc., various powerful mixed promotion pathways..."

"So many choices?"

Su Lun listened with an eye-opening feeling.

He just knew that there are so many exquisite advanced second-tiers.

"That's why I said that it depends on your own future career plan to choose..."

Mr. Hei did not continue to say, saying: "It will be too much to go on in detail, and I won't be able to finish it for a while. As far as I know, there are more than 30 second-tier abilities suitable for puppet masters. Of course. , The more special and rare the ability is, the harder it is to find the corresponding curse. Ultimately, it depends on your own abilities and choosing the best. Sometimes, it takes some'luck' to advance your career."

"That's it... Thank you, Mr., for your doubts."

After hearing these words, Su Lun also felt that choosing to ask this "Mr. Black" was the right choice.

...

At this time, Mr. Black seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "But...you are very special. I have a small suggestion for your future career plan."

Su Lun thought he had seen something, so he reduced his emotions again, and said, "You said it."

"Um...that's ‘mental control’."

Mr. Hei said, looking at Su Lun, he seemed to be observing something.

After groaning for a moment, he said again: "I found you have a problem. That is your emotional control is very good. You are also the only junior professional I have ever seen, and I feel that my mind-reading ability is limited. I found out this time when I was in the Ginkgo Street apartment, but I didn't want to understand..."

Su Lun listened, her face was slightly different.

It's not surprising that a person who knows very good mind reading can see this.

Mr. Hei suddenly changed his conversation. He obviously wanted to understand, and said in a serious tone: "You suppressed part of your emotions in exchange for your calm state. But this kind of long-term depression will be very dangerous to your spirit. , Even deadly. The harder the depression, the more deadly the backlash..."

"..."

Su Lun narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

This Mr. Black revealed the real hidden dangers that the psychologists in the previous life hadn't seen.

He didn't think there was anything to hide, and calmly said, "I didn't expect to live long before, and I don't think it matters anymore. Now..."

There was no fun in the past life, and he felt that he had no expectation for the future no matter how long he lived.

Traveling through this mysterious world, now, he is really reluctant to die like this.

Now that Mr. Black can bring up this topic, Su Lun guessed that he might be able to solve it, and asked: "So... Mr. Black, do you have a solution?"

"This is not necessarily a bad thing for us alchemists..."

Mr. Hei did not nod or shook his head, and then said, "If I guessed correctly, your mental power before taking the job should be much higher than that of ordinary people."

Su Lun smiled noncommitantly, half-jokingly said: "You take the liberty to ask, Mr. Black, are you a doctor?"

Mr. Hei didn’t mind, and corrected: “No, my profession is [major]. But I have to talk about the miscellaneous anecdotes, ancient alchemy knowledge, medical miscellaneous incurable diseases... the entire old Lingdun city, still There are really few people who know more than me. So you are right to treat me as a doctor."

Su Lun heard this calm, but sounding domineering words, suddenly a sense of admiration sprang up in his heart.

He just understood that the heavy temperament of this Mr. Hei is such a thing.

turned out to be profound knowledge, which gave him a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

Mr. Hei continued: "The solution is also very simple."

Su Lun listened attentively, "I wish to hear the details."

Mr. Hei: "The root is still in ‘control’."

Su Lun: "..."

Mr. Hei said: "People's willpower alone cannot control the violent backlash, so you need to use some external forces, such as the secret method of spiritual power."

"Spiritual power secret?"

Su Lun frowned slightly.

This is another blind spot of his knowledge, and even in any memory he stripped off, no one knew this concept.

Mr. Hei seemed to see his doubts and explained: "This is an area that only high-level professionals are eligible to access. Even in the inner city, this is a ‘forbidden technique’ restricted to spread by the black tower’s high-level officials."

"Forbidden surgery?"

When Su Lun heard this, he realized that he might have been exposed to some high-end secrets.

"I used to read ancient books and learned that the ancient super alchemist metropolis practiced spiritual meditation secrets, used to increase spiritual power, control spiritual power, and release high-level spells... Forget it, those things are too much for you now If you are too far ahead, it doesn't make much sense to say it, but it will cause you trouble."

Mr. Hei said here, as if he had any scruples, he didn't say much, "You only need to know and learn a mysterious method that suits you, and you can control that part of the disordered mental power."

"That's it..."

Su Lun suddenly realized that there is still a cure for his "disease"?

But it is obvious that ancient alchemists can practice, why is the black tower listed as a "forbidden technique"?

Suddenly... he felt as if he had guessed part of the reason why this Mr. Black defected.

Hearing this, Su Lun looked at Mr. Hei again, as if expecting something.

"I am indeed groping for a mysterious technique, but it is extremely dangerous and not suitable for you."

Mr. Hei saw through Su Lun's thoughts, shook his head slightly, and smiled: "I told you this, just to tell you that if you encounter similar secrets in the future, you can pay attention to it... Now the underground'Dawn City' has been discovered. A lot of ancient relics have been unearthed, and there will be many good things appearing in the black market recently. Maybe you can find the right mental power secret method for you before the inner city is finished..."

"Dawn City?"

"Well... it's a large ancient ruin newly discovered underground. This news is not known to many people in the outer city, but it should spread soon."

"Oh..."

Su Lun’s first reaction was the ancient ruins he had traveled through, but he was more concerned about the "Secret Technique of Spiritual Power".

He has no lack of mental power, even a lot.

[Death Reaper] is an S-rank talent every time you harvest soul fragments, it will give him a little spiritual power. Although the spiritual power that is stripped from the corpse of ordinary people is getting less and less, but... his current spiritual power value It has reached 75 points, which is more than twice as much as when it was a first-time professional!

However, this doubled mental power value did not double the benefits for Su Lun.

It's not that there is not enough mental power, but that it can't be used.

But it's like a plate of loose sand. If you want to use it, he can't hold it with just one pair of hands...

He felt that something was missing before, but now he knows that there is still a "spiritual secret method" in this world.

...

The two talked as they walked, and more than half an hour had passed.

Mr. Hei didn't seem to have the intention to continue, and he said: "The more you understand the alchemy process, the more doubts you will have, and you will be endless. When you finish reading the textbooks, I can assure you that you will probably need it again. Ten times, a hundred times more knowledge to solve puzzles..."

"I don't mind if you come to ask me. But meeting with me often will cause you big trouble. So, as the last part of repaying the favor, I can introduce you to a place where you can get in touch with high-level knowledge... "

Su Lun: "Is there such a place in the outer city?"

"Well, it's on the black market."

Mr. Black: "It's not a taboo organization, it's just a small circle of high-level professionals. Generally, only second-tier professionals are eligible to receive invitations. I just want to go there now, so you can go together."
