Father and Son Go to Battle

Frankly, Xu Nan didn't have a good impression of this "mentor." Although this person had been in the entertainment industry, that was ten years ago. Later, they simply disappeared, and didn't cause much trouble for the public.

But in Xu Nan's expectation, shouldn't the seniors of the ThousandRadiance Society have a military background, be meticulous soldiers?

Clearly, his understanding of the ThousandRadiance Society's structure was flawed.

The ThousandRadiance Society did have a military background, but at first, it was still a makeshift civilian organization. When the Pro World first turned its attention to Earth, a group of Professionals was born on Earth.

These people awakened long before Xu Nan and the others.

Some of them even went to other worlds by chance and were eventually incorporated by the ThousandRadiance Society.

Of course, there were also those who were not sensible. Now they are not under house arrest, but have already been decapitated.

At first, the attitude towards these matters was ambiguous, and it wasn't until the military intervened and began a large-scale investigation of the situation in other worlds that the ThousandRadiance Society truly gained a foothold.

During this process, military Professionals continuously poured in, diluting the proportion of civilians in the ThousandRadiance Society to a certain extent.

But this doesn't mean that all Professionals in the ThousandRadiance Society are dedicated soldiers.

In fact, many Professionals secretly incorporated by the ThousandRadiance Society came from other industries.

For example, the one in front of Xu Nan is somewhat special.

Zhang Yingluo had vaguely mentioned to Xu Nan that the Sorcerer profession was indeed somewhat unpopular within the ThousandRadiance Society.

Awakening relies on bloodline, and the cultivation process is completely untraceable, and the reputation is very bad.

Therefore, within the ThousandRadiance Society, Sorcerers are a group that is isolated by many people.

Wu Sanpao is an example, otherwise he wouldn't have complained as soon as they met.

Of course, he wasn't just looking for someone to talk to and complain to Xu Nan; Xu Nan knew very well that Wu Sanpao was probably giving himself a heads-up.

The ThousandRadiance Society might not be as good as he imagined.

But it doesn't matter, being unpopular is fine. In fact, Xu Nan would rather not attract too much attention. His personality is also like this, just blending in with the organization, coasting along, which is quite good.

Making a fortune in silence is his style.

So what he cares about is more practical. The Training Camp that Zhang Yingluo and Wu Sanpao mentioned successively is what he cares about most.

"As for the Training Camp, there's actually nothing much to it. It's just a place to train you newcomers. There's nothing much to introduce, you'll know when you get there."

Perhaps it was due to his age, Wu Sanpao said more kind words than Xu Nan had imagined: "This time, we recruited three Sorcerers. The other two are second-generation descendants with military backgrounds. You are a civilian in terms of political status, so you were assigned to me."

"Honestly, I also think the Sorcerer profession is a pain in the ass. Although I obtained the professional inheritance many years before you, I'm still completely confused when trying to figure it out."

"By the way, you are currently level 3?"

Xu Nan nodded.

"How did you get promoted before?" Wu Sanpao asked curiously.

Xu Nan was a little embarrassed.

He couldn't possibly say that he could only get promoted by doing shameful things, could he?

"Forget it, I know you're also confused by the look on your face."

Wu Sanpao opened a bottle of wine. After Xu Nan indicated that he didn't drink, he didn't force him and drank by himself: "As your mentor at this stage, I can only give you a little secret."

Xu Nan listened attentively.

"Stimulation!"

Wu Sanpao whispered in Xu Nan's ear.

Xu Nan looked puzzled.

"A Sorcerer's bloodline needs strong stimulation, whether it's external or internal stimulation, it can trigger the transformation of the bloodline."

Wu Sanpao talked eloquently: "The simplest example, intense emotional conflict - to be more specific, a breakup. Have you ever been heartbroken?"

Xu Nan shook his head. He hadn't even been in a relationship yet, a pure and innocent virgin.

"Many Sorcerers first awaken their bloodline after experiencing intense emotional stimulation. Some are due to the death of a loved one, some are their first kiss, first love, or first time having sex, and some are more special, requiring intense pain to awaken their bloodline..."

"For example, a colleague in our department clearly inherited the bloodline early on, but couldn't awaken it no matter what. Later, I whipped him a few times, and he suddenly awakened..."

"Everyone's awakening method is different, but it's generally related to stimulation. Of course, everyone's stimulation point is different, and they need to figure it out themselves."

Wu Sanpao shrugged: "That's all I can say."

Xu Nan was thoughtful.

Although Wu Sanpao didn't say much and it seemed like nonsense, his description of the Sorcerer's bloodline made Xu Nan vaguely touch upon some core secrets.

"Of course, after years of exploration, our department also has a series of quick awakening procedures."

Wu Sanpao continued to add: "After you come out of the Training Camp, I'll take you through this list. How many levels you can awaken depends on your luck."

"Sorcerers are like this, besides awakening, there are no other cultivation methods."

Xu Nan looked at the list, and surprisingly, there were quite a few categorized items on it -

[Racing, clubbing, whipping, VR viewing, dating lessons, sex education, high-temperature charcoal grilling, glacier challenge...]

There was a dazzling array of options, too many to take in.

Some of the items made Xu Nan's scalp tingle just looking at them.

"Don't worry, they've all been tested and are within safe and legal limits," Wu Sanpao said with a smile. "One person who went through these procedures is now a Level 9 Sorcerer. There's no helping it, there's a reason they're jealous of us."

"After all, Sorcerer is probably the only profession that can be achieved quickly."

Xu Nan gradually began to understand.

At least within the ThousandRadiance Society, the Sorcerer training system that had been formed was somewhat unconventional compared to other professions. Once a bloodline was awakened and effectively stimulated, one could quickly advance, rapidly increase their level, and form immediate combat power.

This was completely different from other professions that progressed step by step. No wonder Sorcerers were easily ostracized.

But Xu Nan was not optimistic about this.

The Ron Sorcerer bloodline was completely different from other Sorcerer bloodlines. While breaking through shame was also a form of stimulation to some extent, the angle was a bit too tricky.

The two chatted about some internal gossip of the ThousandRadiance Society in the private room.

Finally, Xu Nan asked, "Teacher Wu, I wanted to ask, how does everyone in the department allocate their points?"

Wu Sanpao was stunned and said, "Of course, everyone adds to Charisma. Other attributes depend on your mood."

"After all, being able to fight and jump is only for a while."

"But being good-looking is for a lifetime!"

A vein throbbed on Xu Nan's forehead.

"What about skills?" He had accumulated nearly two hundred skill points and didn't know how to spend them.

"According to personal preference," Wu Sanpao thought for a moment. "Sorcerers don't rely much on skills; they mainly rely on feats and spells."

Alright, Xu Nan completely gave up the idea of asking Wu Sanpao for a suitable way to allocate points.

It wasn't that Wu Sanpao was unreliable; it was just that the Sorcerer profession was too special.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Wu Sanpao slipped away. Before leaving, he conveniently paid for the meal, which significantly improved Xu Nan's impression of this mentor.

The conversation with Wu Sanpao made Xu Nan realize that because there were so few Sorcerers, the so-called interview was just a formality.

The physical examination was also just a formality; the most important thing was the training camp three days later.

Although Wu Sanpao didn't reveal the content of the training camp, he kept emphasizing that the results of the training camp were very important for newcomers.

Especially at this critical juncture when the ThousandRadiance Society was about to step into the spotlight.

After the training camp, the newcomers would be dispersed and reorganized. Although they would still be divided into departments according to their professions, they would generally be grouped according to the professional balance of the Pro World.

And no matter when, being assigned to a good group was the most important thing. This meant resources and opportunities.

The management of the ThousandRadiance Society could not be too strict, but it would not be too loose either.

If Xu Nan wanted to do something, he had to stand out in the training camp.

Unfortunately, Xu Nan didn't want to be the center of attention.

According to his idea, he might as well just coast through the training camp and then find a leisurely job, being a marginal person within the ThousandRadiance Society would be quite good.

After all, his strength improvement still had to rely on himself!

After returning to the Dungeon.

Xu Nan checked the progress of the Mechanical Ghost's production and was quite satisfied.

The Imps sent out drew maps of the nearby mineral deposits for Xu Nan to review; however, the main force of the Great Demon Inoya had been slow to move, making Xu Nan wonder if they were completely lost.

Lü Junyi and Shi Fanglin were still arguing with Wen Xin. After Xu Nan's offer of help was declined, he became a bit bored.

He thought about it and realized it seemed like it was time for a second run of Lost Paradise!

His level had now reached three, and he could completely challenge some of the more difficult dungeons in Lost Paradise.

Maybe this time, he could even get a Bloodline Fruit!

Of course, the one from Old Man Luo Mang was out of the question.

Xu Nan felt that he was not suitable for close combat. Whether it was the Lone Testicle Sorcerer or the Shawshank, he couldn't accept them.

He opened the Level 3 spell list and chose a few to learn—

[Human Immobilization Spell, Fireball Spell, Invisibility Orb, Flight Spell]

These four spells cost him a lot of Shame Points, which really made his heart ache.

Then he put on a set of excellent Magic equipment and entered Lost Paradise alone again!

[Lost Paradise Second Layer Activated!]

[Detecting bloodline strength, automatically filtering dungeons!]

[Coordinates confirmed, teleportation complete!]

This was Xu Nan's second time in Lost Paradise. The familiar synthesized voice sounded again: "Welcome to the second layer of Lost Paradise. This is the Buried Bone Barren Village. Please explore to your heart's content, young Sorcerer!"

[Detected that you are afflicted with a Conjuration: Bloodline Connection; do you want to summon the Bloodline Connector?]

Lost Paradise rarely sent such a message.

Xu Nan was slightly startled: "Bloodline connection, what's that?"

"Try summoning?"

The next second, a sleazy young man wearing bright red shorts and a black blindfold appeared before him.

"Zijun, hehehe, I'm here. It wasn't easy to scrape together the money for a room today, we must have a good time!"

Song Cheng's demonic claws were about to grab Xu Nan's chest.

Xu Nan mercilessly ripped off his blindfold: "Wake up, wake up!"

"Holy crap! Where is this?!"

Song Cheng looked completely bewildered.

Xu Nan sneered: "Alright, what is this bloodline connection thing?"

Not far away, a zombie hopped over.

Song Cheng shrieked and threw himself into Xu Nan's arms: "What kind of ghost place is this!?"

Xu Nan pushed him away.

"This is an otherworldly battlefield. See those bones? They're all people who died in battle. I'm here to clear out the undead."

Xu Nan said unhurriedly: "I figured I couldn't let you call me 'Dad' so many times for nothing. So I called you over."

"What's that old saying!"

"Father and son fighting side by side!"
