"Is this why Mr. Wilbert said it's easy to monitor 'Diseased Traits' once you join the organization?

And it's not just the Diseased Traits, All my information is displayed through this ancient script.

It's just... my profession is truly 'unique.' After going through the trouble of transmigrating to such an interesting world, I've ended up being a [Student] all over again. As long as they don't make me write a thesis, I guess it's fine.

Let's check out the other stats."

≮ Profession: Student ≯

*This profession is a unique purple rarity, tailor-made, and possesses inherent growth potential. The profession's name will change upon reaching the next stage.

≮ Status: Human ≯

*This is the most basic Status stage, confined within a Human Skin, existing with various forms of 'limitations.'

Base Attributes

*Attribute values are categorized into six standards according to the individual's current 'Status.'

1. Terrible | 2. Weak | 3. Normal | 4. Strong | 5. Extraordinary | 6. Limit

[ Physique ]: 2

*Your muscle strength, sustained activity time, and skin toughness determine your physical body.

[ Motorics ]: 2

*Your nerve conductivity and body elasticity rate determine your agility.

[ Intellect ]: 4

*Your brainpower, thought patterns, and breadth of knowledge determine your intelligence.

[ Psyche ]: 3

*Your sensitivity, empathy towards things, or ability to perceive subtle layers determine how perceptive you are.

[ Luck ]: 3

*Your luck. There's not much to say about this. You gave alms to a beggar on the street today, and subsequently, you might face different situations.

Perhaps nothing will happen.

Perhaps the beggar, realizing you were wealthy, decided to rob you with his friends in the dead of night. Afterward, he wouldn't forget to stab you, and that stab just happened to hit a vital spot. Coincidentally, the location was very secluded, and the first to discover you was a pack of hungry wild dogs.

Perhaps the beggar was a noble person tired of a life of luxury. He was extremely grateful and gave you a large sum of money. At the same time, he removed his human skin mask, revealing himself to be a dignified young lady who wanted to marry you.

≮ Profession Traits ≯

"Diligent Learner (Passive)":

Reading speed greatly increased, efficiency in understanding ancient texts and secret scriptures improved by 50%. Initial mastery of "Old Living Script".

"Central Taste (Passive)":

Can absorb the cerebrospinal fluid from the brains of infected individuals, with a certain probability of increasing the Intellect attribute (brain mass influences the probability).

≮ Diseased Traits ≯

*Diseased Traits originate from an individual's complete mastery over 'Processed Crystals.'

Currently consumed "Forester-Casimiro's Tumorous Crystal". Quality: Common (Variant)

*Variant tumorous bodies possess instability and growth potential.

Base Traits:

"Vascular Tissue":

The diseased factor will undergo secondary growth within the individual, attaching and integrating vascular tissue throughout the internal circulation system. Simultaneously, it will effectively modify muscle fibers, improving the individual's overall quality (slight increase of ≤1 to [Physique] and [Motorics]).

"Vegetarian": Can obtain energy through consuming plants. This energy can be used for physical replenishment, tissue repair, growth, and so on.

"Growth Root": Can create root tissues externally by consuming energy. The number, toughness, length, and control precision of the roots will be enhanced by Intellect, proficiency, and crystal quality. During use, there is a low possibility of the roots developing new functions.

≮ Unknown Attributes ≯

*It is detected that a 'substance' related to death seems to flow within the depths of the individual's soul. Currently, there are no observable phenomena. It is speculated that it may be activated upon reaching the next 'Status' stage.

Pet

[Name]: Little Grape Greyp

*During detection, it was repelled and interfered with. The origin, basic information, and abilities of this pet cannot be verified. It is suspected to be formed by the combination of more than ten ancient corpses exceeding three hundred years in history (speculative result).

[Risk Assessment]:High

*The complexity of this pet far exceeds its individual status, making it difficult to control. There is a significant risk of backlash or possession, so please be extremely careful.

*This inspection result is visible only to you.

Gazing at such detailed personal information and reading the concept of 'growth potential,'

Yi Chen fell into an indescribable state of excitement.

"Incredible! This feeling is absolutely amazing!"

While he was in a state of self-excitement, Shopkeeper Ivan almost pressed his body against Yi Chen's back. Wearing gloves, he moved over every inch of Yi Chen's body, especially focusing on seams and joints, meticulously checking them all, even touching them more than twice.

While it seemed perverse, it was actually a crucial verification step. If there was even a 1% mismatch, the suit would need to be remade.

However, after a thorough physical examination, the suit's error margin was only 0.09%... the highest completion rate for Ivan in the past decade.

"Perfect! Truly a perfect creation!"

Shopkeeper Ivan also became excited, a sense of satisfaction and pride overflowing from his being as a tailor.

"Ahem... Right! I have some complimentary items here as well."

After stabilizing his emotions, Shopkeeper Ivan handed Yi Chen a leather backpack that perfectly contoured to his back.

"This is the [Gentleman's Backpack], a unique technology developed by Zion. Although I disdain those guys up there, I still greatly admire this invention.

The backpack can assist you in switching freely between the 'Suit' and the 'Overcoat.' You can try it."

First, he folded the overcoat neatly and placed it into the backpack.

By pressing the raised parts on the straps with his fingers... a subtle suction sensation permeated his body. The overcoat was now on him, while the suit was neatly folded inside the backpack.

The change of attire was completed in less than a second.

Yi Chen marveled, "What a great item!"

"If it weren't a great item, I wouldn't bother requesting anything from Zion... Stand still, I'll help you with the final touches."

Shopkeeper Ivan very thoughtfully provided a black and white diagonally striped English tie, and a pair of dark wood-framed glasses.

He then carefully folded a white handkerchief bearing the G&D logo into a single strip and placed it in the breast pocket.

As he finished folding, he said softly, "A suit is the armor of a modern gentleman. Wearing it means taking on the corresponding responsibilities."

"Got it!"

Yi Chen stood before the gold-trimmed oval mirror, admiring his refreshed appearance and savoring the nobility and elegance the clothing brought him.

Shopkeeper Ivan also leaned on his cane, standing to the side, looking at Yi Chen in the mirror. He continued, "Also, there's one thing you need to remember.

No matter how finely crafted, how perfectly designed, or how precious the material.

Clothing is always just a medium to accentuate your character.

True [Nobility] is never displayed through flashy clothes or proper etiquette... but rather in whether you are better than your past self.

I hope to see a truly transformed you the next time we meet."

These words immediately enlightened Yi Chen, who had been immersed in the superficiality of the clothing. His mind began to process the statement, converting it into crucial information to be etched deep within his cerebellum.

"I will remember that."

"If you acquire sufficiently high-quality, ancient 'skins' in the future, you can bring them to me for completion and upgrades."

"Thank you, Mr. Ivan."

"You still have a day before you report to the academy. Stay here with me.

I need to ensure that after you officially wear it, the clothing doesn't cause any adverse reactions. Though this is rare, we must guarantee it doesn't happen."

"Okay."
