Sub-profession

She had maintained contact with Chen Nana throughout this period. Chen Nana had repeatedly asked her to help purchase some supplies in Qinglan Town, and Yun Xi had agreed, even receiving a considerable commission for it.

Upon receiving Yun Xi's message this time, the other party immediately took it seriously.

"Yun Xi, are you saying that our Blue Star's recipes and prescriptions can also be recognized by the System?"

"That's right. For example, a simple bowl of noodles, if Spiritual Energy is added during the cooking process, it could become a dish with special effects," Yun Xi replied.

"But these special effects are determined by one's own Chef level. Initially, there won't be any good positive effects, and there might even be side effects."

Just like prescriptions, recipes also require ingredients with complementary and opposing attributes.

Certain ingredients combined together would have positive effects, while conversely, some ingredients mixed together could produce toxicity.

Recently, Yun Xi had been cooking for herself occasionally.

Most of the food she made following online recipes had no negative effects. However, if she messed around randomly, and by chance mixed incompatible ingredients, she would create dishes with side effects.

For example, long-term consumption could lead to a drop in Constitution Attribute, mental fatigue, and so on.

As for the dishes with positive effects, most of them, when consumed long-term, could increase the Constitution Attribute.

The recipes she learned with real money on Godfall Continent, such as the complete guide to cooking white mushrooms, comprised 36 volumes. These recorded 36 ways to cook white mushrooms.

Each cooking method had different effects, but they all had one thing in common: no side effects.

The simplest dish, boiled white mushrooms, increased satiety and, when consumed for years, could slightly increase the Constitution Attribute.

Another slightly more complex dish, pan-fried white mushrooms, also increased satiety and slightly boosted constitution, but it also had an additional effect: long-term consumption could slightly increase fire resistance.

Yun Xi couldn't quite figure out the reason behind it, attributing it to the 'mutation' that occurred after adding Spiritual Energy to the dishes.

However, white mushrooms were just common, low-level ingredients. The 'slight' increase in constitution and fire resistance mentioned here was almost negligible. It was unlikely that eating white mushrooms for ten consecutive years would even increase constitution by one point.

This was one of the common ingredients in Qinglan Town.

"Sister Nana, the main thing isn't the recipes, but the prescriptions. Many of our Blue Star's prescriptions also have different effects. I suggest you consider developing them."

"Yun Xi, thank you for your suggestion. I'll report it to my superiors. However, don't you plan to join the Special Action Bureau?"

Since the public assessment began, Chen Nana had invited Yun Xi multiple times, but Yun Xi had refused each time.

"No, I've taken on a special mission. If I join the core of the official organization, it might cause unexpected trouble and implicate you all."

Yun Xi wasn't lying. Signing a contract with the official organization meant they would have a formal Karma Link.

If something unexpected happened in the future, to put it bluntly, a powerful enemy... could crush the entire Blue Star with one hand.

"Alright, I understand. Then Yun Xi, please be careful yourself." Seeing the seriousness in Yun Xi's words, Chen Nana could tell that this wasn't just an excuse.

"Yun Xi, if you need any help from us, please don't hesitate to ask. Even though you haven't joined the core department, you are still a member of our Flower Country's officialdom. That won't change." After receiving the message from her superiors, Chen Nana also made a promise.

After all, both the knowledge-based books Yun Xi brought back and the various information she provided were unique.

They couldn't ignore these contributions, nor could they take them for granted.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Nana."

Regarding the sub-profession information provided by Yun Xi, the relevant departments immediately began trials.

They acted quickly, and within a day, they released a public announcement.

[Latest news from Godfall Continent: Officially recognized Sorcerers can now transfer to various sub-professions... Among them, the Alchemist sub-profession and the Chef sub-profession can also have their Blue Star prescriptions and recipes recognized by the System.

If any official Sorcerers were previously employed as chefs or pharmacists, they can contact their local official departments to join the local core departments and receive specialized training.

Benefits include:

Basic Benefits: Monthly salary of 10,000-50,000, 10-100 Silver Coins, with social insurance and housing fund contributions. For details on advanced benefits, please contact your local official departments.

Basic Obligations: Sign relevant contracts with the official organization. For contract details, please contact your local official departments.]

The officials moved swiftly. Upon learning of the relevant news, they immediately issued recruitment invitations.

It wasn't that there weren't people within the official organization willing to transfer to Chef or Alchemist. The real issue was... everyone's skill points were limited.

To cultivate a true master of a sub-profession, one would inevitably have to abandon skills related to their main profession.

Taking the Chef sub-profession as an example:

Each person only gains one skill point per level-up. Sorcerer's class-exclusive skills are very special and can only be upgraded by allocating points.

Although Chef's class-exclusive skills can be practiced and upgraded independently, System point allocation and independent practice upgrades are somewhat different.

System point allocation can increase related professional comprehension, which has long-term implications for future development.

Most importantly, practicing culinary skills on one's own is simply too slow.

However, if they directly recruited individuals who were already official Sorcerers and had prior experience in culinary arts, it would be different.

Their initial culinary skills might already be at LV 2 or LV 3, and some of their signature dishes might have reached advanced levels. They would have a significant head start compared to others.

The benefits offered by the officials were also generous, with a monthly salary of 10-100 Silver Coins.

Yun Xi speculated that this was likely tied to their culinary skill level. If a master chef's initial culinary skill was already LV 10, they would receive a monthly salary of 100 Silver Coins.

This was the same benefit as the captain of the Qinglan Town patrol team. At this stage, virtually no one would refuse.

Moreover, this salary was unlikely to remain static; it would definitely increase with the improvement of culinary skills.

Even the lowest amount of 10 Silver Coins was not insignificant; it was comparable to the salary of an ordinary member of the Qinglan Town patrol team.

There was no need to elaborate on how restrictive the contracts for town patrol team members were. The contracts from Flower Country's official organization would certainly not be that strict, at least not arbitrarily restricting personal freedom, and the penalty for violating the contract would not be too severe.

The difference between the two was clear.

For many people, their hometown was more reassuring than some of the powers on Godfall Continent.
