Psychological Counseling

Watching Song Shige being Jing Yunxin in a daze, Su Luo gently shook her head.

It seems everyone has been suffering through the Trial Instance for quite some time.

Even someone as resolute as Song Shige was traumatized by this.

Look at the mess they made of the kids.

Su Luo picked up the special energy drink that Qin Lang had brought from the Xi Ji Squad and took a sip. The sweet taste with a slightly astringent, refreshing sensation flowed down her throat.

It must be admitted that Qin Lang is indeed very Talent in logistics and interpersonal relationships, and his thoughtfulness makes people feel comfortable.

Composing herself, Su Luo opened the image database of over twenty blue Skill Books collected by the Mutual Aid Association. Currently, all the books in her inventory were skill-based, representing everything she could obtain from treasure chests and ranking rewards at this stage.

[Flame Domain (Blue)] -- A large-area, continuous fire Spell.

[Falling Star Burst (Blue)] -- An extremely high single-target explosive Spell.

[Celestial Phenomenon Attraction (Blue)] -- A hybrid Spell that affects local weather conditions.

I had been holding back from learning it because my Attributes weren't up to par, and these skills would drain me dry with their terrifying energy consumption.

Now that my mental Attributes have greatly improved and my total Mana power is vastly different from before, I finally have the confidence to control it.

A rough comparison between the green and blue skills revealed that Su Luo felt the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

In terms of experience requirements alone, blue skills require ten times more experience to upgrade than green skills, and their level cap is also ten levels higher.

So, does that mean blue skills are ten times stronger than green skills?

Could it be that Su Luo's painstakingly researched and developed [Dual-Cycle Method (Blue)] is only ten times more difficult and ten times more effective than [Meditation (Green)]?

Far more than that.

For professionals, green skills are merely a transitional skill when they first Class Change, and many professionals may not even bother to learn green Skill Books.

Blue skills are the true embodiment of a professional's power.

Su Luo speculated that many blue skills, once maxed out, possess the power to alter local weather phenomena and influence the environment; this is where the "beauty" of their numerical values lies.

Why is the power increase so enormous, with an explosive increase in the total amount of knowledge and difficulty, while the experience requirement seems to have increased "only" tenfold?

Su Luo pondered for a while, stepping outside her own perspective to consider the problem.

Professionals have become extremely limited in their channels for acquiring skills and experience.

Based on the information gathered, becoming a professional means no longer participating in regional rankings and weekly Monster Tide, which means the stable way to obtain Skill Experience Stones is cut off.

Currently, it seems that professionals can only rely on their own Talent or "grind" experience through repeated practice and skill usage.

Oh, and there are also some special effects from the Sanctuary.

But the growth rate suddenly slowed down.

From this perspective, becoming a professional means stepping out of the Survival System and into the newbie's "welfare" period?

In a sense, it has also transcended simple intra-regional competition.

Combined with the daily "Trait Dungeon," it can be inferred that professionals have entered a stage of global development and regional competition, but the system has not yet been updated.

Without further hesitation, he began to immerse himself in learning these three new skills and attempted to integrate them with his existing knowledge system, setting out to build his own unique Spell system.

"Everyone does it this way, don't worry about it too much! It's all fake!" Jing Yunxin said to Song Shige with a serious expression.

"Really? They are too?" A glimmer of light finally shone through Song Shige's dim eyes.

"Yes! Of all the publicly available information in the world, only one person claims to have 'saved the world'! All other professionals, like you, witnessed the end of a civilization. This is a universal phenomenon!"

"Very good!"

Having not paid much attention to the information after leaving the Dungeon, Song Shige felt much better after hearing Jing Yunxin think that everyone was like that, all incompetent husbands.

That Goushi Trial Instance has ruined the entire world of Class Change changers.

I wonder how many madmen and paranoid psychopaths will emerge after experiencing such a devastating scenario of civilization's annihilation.

"Think about it! Survivors in a single area share the same Class Change Dungeon. The Land of Darkness might have 80,000 areas, so does that mean there are 80,000 different Trial Instances? If that were the real world, would it have to be destroyed repeatedly? That doesn't make logical sense! Therefore, it's all fake! It's a test set up by the system!"

After three hours of psychological counseling, Song Shige felt that most of the knot in his chest had dissipated, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Jing Yunxin.

"Minister Jing, I believe that the organization's internal psychological intervention and counseling mechanisms need to be further strengthened and given more attention."

Before leaving, Song Shige solemnly offered his advice.

"I see,"

Jing Yunxin nodded; this part of the work was originally her responsibility.

"Before entering the Dungeon, Class Change seekers must be given ample information and psychological preparation. After a successful Class Change, a comprehensive psychological assessment and follow-up mechanism must also be established."

The theme of "World Destruction" is too heavy and distorted. Even after more than half a month of survival in the Land of Darkness, Song Shige does not believe that many people can remain completely unaffected; more or less, they will all suffer psychological trauma.

After inquiring about the situation of Xi Ji's team, Song Shige felt much better and turned to walk towards Su Luo's Laboratory.

He knocked on the door, and soon it opened slightly, revealing a calm and rational voice from inside.

"Please come in."

Stepping inside, Song Shige looked around.

"So ugly."

"I know, you don't need to say it, there's also this called pragmatism."

Su Luo felt that Song Shige did indeed have some mental problems.

"Please wait a moment."

Su Luo was sitting at the lab bench, holding a special pen whose tip flowed with elemental light, and rapidly writing complex symbols on a piece of open paper.

Song Shige took a closer look. The symbols looked like English, but were mixed with characters that resembled Latin. The intricate patterns made him dizzy.

"Consultant Su, are you... learning a foreign language?"

Su Luo sighed helplessly.

He has temporarily set aside his research into Spell and is now working on a more fundamental project.

Translate mathematical symbols and a small number of mathematical tools from two different worlds.

He brought back the complete mathematical system of the Trial Instance world, while the mathematical knowledge of the Original World had previously been shared by a mathematics PhD on the Regional Forum.

What he's doing now is learning while simultaneously "translating" and integrating the information.

Mathematics is a tool for understanding the underlying laws of the world; it is a lever for unlocking the Truth.

Su Luo knew very well that if she wanted to go further on the path of exploration, she had to fill this most basic cornerstone.

"Studying math."

He put down his pen, turned to Song Shige, and extended his hand:

"Scholar."

A genuinely relaxed smile appeared on Song Shige's face as he reached out and shook hands with him.

"Demon King."

Song Shige's Talent was called Demon-Seeking, and he switched to this profession, so it can be said that Demon-Seeking and obtained demons.

They made a stool for Song Shige and asked him to sit down and talk.

"Consultant Su, my Dungeon's rating is 'Excellent,' but it still took a lot of effort."

Song Shige sighed.

"I'm also excellent. Tell me, how are you in a bad situation?"

Su Luo became interested and prepared to listen to other people's "suffering" experiences.

"My randomly assigned role is a military colonel..."

Song Shige spoke from the side, while Su Luo focused her attention on searching for information while listening.
