Chapter 131: Occupational Level Assessment
Xiao Chen walked on the streets of Anslas City. A book store.
He saw off the three women and was truly free, relaxed, and could consider his next trip.
Anslar City is magnificent, the magical civilization of this world has developed beyond the power of Earth's technology. The towering city walls, tens of meters high and over a dozen meters wide, are breathtaking.
But think about the military power of this world, as long as you reach the intermediate Yunshi level, you will have a thousand kilograms of strength, and there is also a vast national territory, countless population, which is not considered anything.
Xiao Chen walked along the way, taking in the majestic scenery of this alien world. He had come to this world but hadn't truly delved into it yet.
On the wide street, people come and go.
The city of Un'goro was invaded by the demonic creatures, apparently still having some impact on this city.
It is said that Anslay's castle lord, Black Moon Sword Anthony also died under the claws of the Magic Beast King in Unol City.
This made the city tense, and Xiao Chen walked around casually. Suddenly, he saw a group of extremely short but very sturdy people walking on the street. These people, whether male or female, were all very short and stout, about half the height of humans. Most of the men had a huge iron hammer on their backs, which looked like it weighed over a hundred kilograms.
"Ah, who is this?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Master, this is a dwarf tribe, a peculiar race that is born small in stature but possesses great strength. It's said that once they reach adulthood, they can rival the mid-tier knights of humanity, with arms capable of exerting a thousand jin of force. Moreover, they are extremely skilled at crafting equipment, and many famous weapons on the continent were forged by their hands." De Knox said.
Dwarves are born with a strength of a thousand pounds, Xiao Chen looked at them.
"The dwarves also have a civilization, they live very long lives and are naturally gifted, so there are many strong ones among them. Their three most powerful empires are the Golden Hammer Empire, the Silver Hammer Empire, and the Copper Hammer Empire. The Copper Hammer Empire is a fifth-level civilization, the Silver Hammer Empire is a sixth-level civilization, and the Golden Hammer Empire is a seventh-level civilization, extremely powerful. Because the dwarves and humans are allies, they are allowed to operate within human territories...". Denox, this old antique, is almost all-knowing, like a great encyclopedia.
"Seventh-level civilization......" Xiao Chen was shocked, the Tianxing Empire, was only a fourth-level civilization.
"Since there are dwarves, aren't there many other strange tribes?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Of course, there are many other races, such as the Winged Folk, Beastmen, Demons, and Elves. These races are all extremely powerful, born far stronger than humans, like the Elven race who become great mages at just one year old..." said Denox.
"It's impossible for someone to be a great master just because they were born that way." Xiao Chen, who was normally calm and collected, was also shocked.
"I haven't seen it myself, but the books say so, and they've been passed down for ages. I don't think it's fake." Denox chuckled: "Hehe, but now the ones occupying the continent are still us humans... although we humans aren't naturally strong, we can't be beat by our numbers alone... there are billions of us humans, those spirit tribes and whatnot are just legends, never seen them before..."
With De Knox's introduction of this antique, Xiao Chen was also amazed.
Xiao Chen did not rush to leave Anslar City.
He also needed a period of sedimentation and digestion after just experiencing the trial of the Night Forest, so he found an inn to stay in.
Occasionally going out for a stroll, most of the time he was cultivating in the inn.
In the blink of an eye, it's been a week already.
In the gray spiritual ocean, the white soul body faced the black soul body and once again unleashed a spinning annihilation round dance slash.
But this time, that round sunset was extremely different, and even streaks of light appeared on the light and shadow, like a whirlpool...
Whoa! The circular holy light shot towards the black spirit body.
The black soul body released a black shield, but the shield collapsed under the white light. The black soul body released another black spear, which was swallowed by the light.
He released five magic spells in a row before the circular light was finally shattered.
"Master, your move's power has increased again." Black Spirit, Deoknox exclaimed.
He was shocked by Xiao Chen's progress speed, especially in the aspect of basic skills. The same move, after his continuous comprehension, could be felt stronger every day. A week ago, he could easily defeat that round-shaped ordinary light, but a week later, he had to go all out.
"Alright, I've improved this move, let's call it... 'Annihilation'." This move of Xiao Chen's, although derived from the Rotating Destruction Round Dance Slash, had already completely surpassed it, granting it new abilities.
Annihilation, not only has attack, but also can defend.
Any attack can be built and destroyed.
Xiao Chen was quite satisfied with this move, and it should be said that this is his strongest move so far.
As his strength increases, this trend can become even stronger.
After leaving Linggui, Xiao Chen walked out of the inn and came to a wine house opposite the inn to eat.
This week he has been eating here almost every day, so as soon as he walked in, the waiter inside smiled and came out to greet him.
"Xiao Chen young master, you're here, still the usual seat."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Great!" The waiter led Xiao Chen to the second floor, to a window seat. Xiao Chen often came here and was very generous with his tips, so the waiter was extremely enthusiastic: "Today we have the best filet mignon and roasted veal, would you like some?"
"Alright, one of each, and bring two more jugs of wine." Xiao Chen casually tossed out a few gold coins.
The servant hastily and joyfully went away, and after a while brought up steaming hot food and wine.
Xiao Chen looked at the scene inside and outside the wine house, pulled the servant Ali and asked: "Ali, what's going on today? Why are there so many people outside?"
The servant named Ali said, "Young Master Xiao Chen, you don't know yet. Yesterday, the Imperial Army's Green Leopard Corps and the Ferocious Beast Corps of the Wunuoer City Empire had a great battle. The Imperial Army won and drove those ferocious beasts back to the Night Color Forest."
"Oh...... Xiao Chen wasn't very surprised, he also saw the momentum of those Qing Bao Army, extremely powerful, worthy of being an ace army, winning was to be expected."
At this time, a voice suddenly sneered from the side: "Cut, what's the hurry to return, what victory, self-boasting, Qingbao Army lost half of its men, and even one of the top ten Imperial Masters, Gedon, was seriously injured by the Purple Flower Poisonous Python. Is this considered a victory?"
What? Even Ge Dong was seriously injured!
Xiao Chen looked over and saw a young man dressed in noble attire, with a refined demeanor, sitting at a nearby table, delivering a speech.
"This can't be said like that, after all, it was those ferocious beasts that were driven back into the dark forest." Someone on the side stood up to argue.
That noble young man sneered, "You think those demons are stupid? They must also know that they can't occupy Uno City for a long time. The Night Forest is their old nest, where else would they go back to? Are they really learning from humans and living in the city?"
The young man's words caused a violent rebuke in the tavern.
After all, this statement is from the perspective of the demon's victory, and as a member of the Tianxing Empire, it naturally sounds unpleasant.
However, Xiao Chen felt that what this young noble said was correct.
"It's really strong, even Brother Ton is heavily injured... Purple Flower Venomous Python, ah... Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: "Denox, Purple Flower Venomous Python, won't it be the one we saw at Zi Wu Lake?"
"It should be that the Jiao-class demon beast is extremely rare. That day, we saw a purple flower poisonous python evolving and advancing in the depths of the Ziyan Lake, it's very likely to be it." De Knox said.
"The demonized Jiao-class monster has undergone at least three transformations, and even the weakest among them is comparable to a human Seven-Star dusk warrior or a powerful wizard. The Jiao-class monster must be more than that in terms of strength, so it's normal for it to defeat that Gordon."
"Violet Flower Snake, Violet Flower Spider... it shouldn't be that coincidental, right?"
Xiao Chen suddenly thought of the purple flower venomous python he had killed at Zi Wu Lake, and the sudden beast riot in the Night Color Forest... it seemed to have happened right after he killed the purple flower venomous python.
The more he thought about it, his heart skipped a beat.
He turned to the elegant young noble and asked, "Sir, since those demons won't live in cities, why did they occupy Wunor City? Are they just having fun?"
That elegant young man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled: "You asked a good question. I've been studying this for days, and there have been many cases in history where demons occupied human cities. Most of the time, there's only one motive: to slaughter and vent their anger. It's common knowledge that demons are just as intelligent as humans, so they wouldn't be enemies with humans without reason, unless humans provoked them. So, it's 90% likely that this time, someone provoked the demon king of the Night Color Forest, like killing its family members... which led to their strange behavior of occupying the city. Demons don't need houses or money, so what's the benefit of occupying Wunuo City? There's only one possibility: to kill and vent their anger. Now that they've occupied the city and killed enough people, it's time for them to return to the Night Color Forest, which is their territory. Otherwise, if they provoke the empire's super-strong warriors, they'll end up losing."
"Now, it's just right, venting their anger and making the Empire wary. You see, even a strong man like Kordon was seriously injured. If they send someone again, they can only send a great magician or a superior one above that level, but such a strong person is not someone the Empire can command at will. Unless it's a major emergency, they won't come out. One Ulor City isn't enough to make this kind of super-strong person take action."
Young people wait for each other and talk.
Xiao Chen was shocked as he listened and stood up, leaving the wine building.
"Lao De, I think we've stayed in Anslan City for long enough, it's time for us to leave." Xiao Chen said suddenly.
"Master, you don't think the monster's attack on the city has anything to do with you, do you?" Denoix, this old antique, saw a clue and almost instantly made the connection.
"Who knows, but just in case it's always better to be prepared. Besides, I came out here to temper myself, I couldn't stay in the city forever," said Xiao Chen.
"Well, where next?" Dennox asked.
"I didn't think of it either, Old De. You're clear about this. If you want to improve your magical powers, it's best to go to Xuemo to cultivate."
"Cultivate magic, naturally go to the place where magical elements are abundant, such as cultivating fire magic, go to the volcanic cave, cultivate water magic, go to the sea..."
"Alright, then let's go find a place with extremely strong winds." Xiao Chen said.
Having determined the direction, next is to find the target.
Xiao Chen arrived at the Adventurer's Guild under the guidance of De Knox.
The Adventurer's Guild, located in the eastern part of Anslar City, is a massive building that spans thousands of square meters. The Adventurer's Guild is almost entirely controlled by each country, and this vast institution has a long history, with branches all over the place, in every city, even in rural towns you can find its presence, but it is actually a platform, similar to the Trial Department of Tianxing Academy, only this platform is larger, more ancient, and the rules inside are more perfect.
Generally need to find a suitable trial location, the adventurer's guild must have complete information.
Xiao Chen walked into the adventurer's guild in Anslas City, where it was bustling with people and crowded.
Thousands of people in the first floor hall, all wearing casual clothes or robes, each one a professional, Adventurer's Guild only for professionals.
Provide service.
Xiao Chen scanned past, most of them were low-level professionals below three stars, mid-level professionals accounted for only one-fifth, and high-level professionals had not been seen yet.
He weaved through the crowd.
Due to his age and attire, he stood out extremely when walking inside.
He didn't wear the attire of a professional, his hands were empty (all weapons had been thrown into the spatial ring), and Xiao Chen's skin, due to being tempered by star power, was like jade stone, so he looked just like a young noble gentleman.
Generally, adventurers, even those with a lawful occupation, have darker skin due to their constant travels outdoors.
"Are you looking to hire someone, young master?" He hadn't been inside for long when some adventurers gathered around him.
Because the Night Forest has become a forbidden area, many adventurers in Anslan City have nothing to do, so they wait here. Adventurers are sometimes also employed by nobles to perform tasks.
However, for this kind of task, there are many monks but little porridge. Many nobles go to hire professional mercenary groups, and few come to the adventurer's guild, so they have to pull customers.
A burly man with a thick beard patted his chest and said, "Hey young master, hire me! I'm a two-star swordsman. Just give me 200 gold coins."
"I'll take 150, I'm a two-star swordsman too." Another tall and thin man also shouted loudly.
"What are you? I am a Three-Star Swordsman, hire me."
Many voices were noisy, and some even came directly to pull Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen scanned the area and directly pointed at a thin young man: "You come over"
That young man was also in the crowd just now, although he had a look of eager longing on his face, but he didn't dare to come forward because his strength was the weakest here. On his worn-out swordsmen's uniform, there was only one pitiful copper star, so he could only watch from outside, and unexpectedly, Xiao Chen directly called out his name.
"Me?" He pointed at himself with some disbelief.
The adventurers on the side also shouted loudly: "This young master, he is just a one-star swordsman, you hire such a waste?"
"You're wrong, I'm Parloge, a Three-Star Swordsman. One hand can crush trash like you."
Xiao Chen didn't waste words and walked up to the man, saying "Let's go."
That man was certain this time that he was being called, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face. He followed behind Xiao Chen, carefully saying: "Young master, I don't know what to call you, and what do you need me to do?"
Xiao Chen said faintly: "What's your name."
"My name is Zachary."
"Alright, Zachary, just take me to register as an adventurer and provide some advice, I'll give you a hundred gold coins," said Xiao Chen.
"What?" Zachary looked at Xiao Chen: "Register as an adventurer."
Xiao Chen nodded: "Is there a problem?"
"It's nothing," Zachary said with a struggling gaze. "I'll just take you to register, and you won't have to pay anymore."
Xiao Chen looked at Zachary with some surprise, didn't expect this shabbily dressed and low-strength swordsman would refuse this almost free money.
"Come with me." Zachary led Xiao Chen inside.
"Come to the window, and I'll show you. To register as an adventurer, all you need to do is pay five gold coins. However, before that, you'll need a proof of occupation level. Without it, you won't be able to register."
"Proof of Professional Rank? Do we need this thing too..." Xiao Chen asked.
"Don't you?" Zachary looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"That's not possible, without this, the Adventurer's Guild won't register you," Zachry said.
"Is there a place for assessment?" Xiao Chen was also depressed, he had been in Tianxing College all along and didn't have this thing.
"It's a yes or no question"... but... can you pass?" Zachary looked at Xiao Chen skeptically, a normal professional certification exam, as long as the standard is met, it will definitely be taken, how could someone not have this.
"Go take a look." Xiao Chen didn't say much either.
Zakari took Xiao Chen to another room, the professional assessment was originally a matter of the Law Enforcement Department and the Swordsmanship Department, but the Adventurer's Guild also had a large organization with a department for professional appraisal.
"Right inside, go ahead." Zachary pointed to a door.
Xiao Chen stood at the door and patted Zach's shoulder: "Thanks, I'm Xiao Chen. Wait for me here."
Xiao Chen walked in, and inside was only a young girl leaning lazily against something. The adventurer's profession appraisal department had always been quiet, and people rarely came here to appraise their profession levels.
A young man who looked like a noble walked in, and the girl's eyes lit up as she stood up: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Xiao Chen said: "Hello, I'd like to have my profession level appraised?"
"That's good, what level are you? Which level do you need to be appraised at?" The girl smiled.
"Seven Star Technique!" Xiao Chen said casually.
"Oh, okay, Qī Xīng......hmm......what!" The girl's carefree smile suddenly froze, and she looked at Xiao Chen with a stutter: "Qī Xīng, you said, Qī Xīng?"
Seven Stars, what is this concept?
That represents the threshold of high-end professionals, representing a position above some low-level civilized earls, and even in the empire, there is also a qualification for enfeoffment.
And this young man in front of him, no matter how he looked, did not seem to be an adult. This text was updated by Zhan Chi and provided by Feng Yu Bao Bao.
