Inspection

"Was this what Mr. Wilbert meant—the reason joining the organization made it so easy to monitor my 'Diseased Trait'?

And not just my Diseased Trait.

All my information was displayed through these ancient characters.

Still... my profession really was 'one of a kind.' After finally transmigrating to such an interesting world, I was a student all over again. As long as nobody made me write a thesis.

Let's take a look at the other values."

≮Profession: Student≯

*This profession is a unique purple profession, tailor-made and possessing special Growth Root. When it reaches the next stage, the profession's name will change.

≮Vessel: Human≯

*This is the lowest Vessel stage. Imprisoned within Human Skin, it possesses various kinds of "limits."

≮Base Attributes≯

*Attribute values are divided into six standards according to the individual's "Vessel."

1. Poor｜2. Weak｜3. Normal｜4. Powerful｜5. Extraordinary｜6. Limit

Physique: 2

*Your muscle strength, sustainable activity time, and bodily toughness determine your physical body.

Motorics: 2

*Your nerve transmission and bodily elasticity determine your agility.

Intellect: 4

*Your mental capacity, thought patterns, and breadth of thought determine your intelligence.

Psyche: 3

*Your sensitivity, empathy with things, and ability to perceive hidden layers determine how emotional you are.

Luck: 3

*Your luck. There's not much to say about it. Today, you gave alms to a beggar on the road. What happened afterward could have taken various forms.

Perhaps nothing would happen.

Perhaps the beggar would discover that you were rich and bring his friends to rob you in the dead of night, then stab you before leaving. That knife happened to strike a vital spot. The place where it happened was extremely secluded, and the first to discover you were a pack of starving wild dogs.

Perhaps the beggar was a wealthy heir tired of a life of luxury. Grateful, he might give you a large sum of money, remove his human-skin mask, transform into a poised young lady, and wish to marry you.

≮Profession Traits≯

"Diligent Learner (Passive)":

Reading speed greatly increased. Efficiency in understanding ancient books and secret texts increased by 50%.

Initial mastery of "Old Living Script."

"Central Taste (Passive)":

Can absorb the cerebrospinal fluid in the brains of Disease Infected, with a certain probability of increasing the Intellect attribute. (Brain quality has a certain influence on the probability.)

≮Diseased Trait≯

*Diseased Traits originate from an individual's complete control over Processed Crystal.

Currently consumed "Ranger—Casimiro's Tumor Crystal."

Quality: Normal (Mutant)

*Mutant Tumor Crystals possess instability and growth potential.

Base Traits:

"Vascular Tissue":

Diseased factors will undergo attached Secondary Growth inside the individual, fully introducing Vascular Tissue and integrating it into the internal circulation system.

At the same time, muscle fibers will be effectively altered, increasing the individual's overall qualities. (Physique and Motorics slightly increased ≤1.)

"Vegetarian": Can obtain energy by eating plants. This energy can be used for stamina recovery, tissue repair, growth, and so on.

"Growth Root": Can create root tissue outside the body by consuming energy.

The roots' quantity, toughness, length, Control Precision, and so on will receive bonuses from Intellect, proficiency, and crystal quality.

While in use, the roots have a low chance of developing entirely new functions.

≮Unknown Attributes≯

*It has been detected that a substance related to death seems to flow through the depths of the individual's soul. There are currently no observable manifestations. It is speculated that it may be activated upon reaching the next Vessel stage.

≮Pet≯

Name: Little Grape. Gryph

*Rejection and interference were encountered during detection.

The pet's origin, basic information, and abilities cannot be verified. It is suspected to have been formed from the combination of more than ten ancient corpses, each over three hundred years old. (Speculative result.)

Risk Assessment: High

*The pet's complexity far exceeds the individual's Vessel and is difficult to control. There is a considerable risk of backlash or possession. Please exercise extreme caution.

*Only you can see the results of this inspection.

Staring at such detailed personal information and savoring the concept of "growth" within it,

Yi Chen had already fallen into an indescribable state of excitement.

"Incredible! This feels so damn good!"

While he was lost in self-excitement,

Shopkeeper Ivan practically pressed his body against Yi Chen's back. Wearing gloves, he moved over every inch of Yi Chen's body, especially certain gaps and joints, examining them all carefully. He even felt them more than twice.

It looked perverted.

In reality, it was a vital verification step. If there was more than a 1% mismatch, the outfit would have to be remade.

However,

After an extremely precise physical examination, the outfit's error margin was actually only 0.09%... It was Ivan's most perfectly completed work in the past decade.

"Perfect! Truly a perfect work!"

Shopkeeper Ivan grew excited as well, a tailor's satisfaction and pride filling his entire body.

"Ahem... Right! I also have some gifts for you."

After calming himself, Shopkeeper Ivan handed Yi Chen a leather backpack that fit the curve of his back perfectly.

"The Gentleman's Backpack. This is technology unique to Zion. Although I have no respect for those people up above, I still greatly admire this invention.

"The backpack can help you switch freely between the 'suit' and the 'overcoat.' You can try it."

First, he folded the overcoat and put it into the backpack.

He pressed the raised point on the shoulder strap with his finger... A subtle suction sensation spread throughout his body. The overcoat was already on him, while the suit had been neatly folded inside the backpack.

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

Yi Chen exclaimed, "What a Good Thing!"

"If it weren't a Good Thing, I wouldn't have requested something from Zion... Stand still. I'll help you complete the final decorations."

Shopkeeper Ivan thoughtfully provided a black-and-white British twill tie and a pair of dark, wood-grained framed glasses.

He folded a white handkerchief bearing the G&D insignia into a straight line and placed it in the chest pocket.

As he finished folding it, he said softly:

"A suit is the armor of modern gentlemen. Once you put it on, you must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."

"Understood!"

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

Shopkeeper Ivan also stood to the side with his cane, watching Yi Chen in the mirror as he continued:

"There is one more thing I need you to remember.

"No matter how meticulous the workmanship, how perfect the design, or how precious the materials,

"clothing is ultimately only a medium that complements your character.

"True nobility has never been displayed through beautiful clothes or proper behavior... It lies in whether you have surpassed your past self.

"I hope that when we meet again, I will see a truly renewed you."

Those words instantly awakened Yi Chen, who had been immersed in the surface of his clothes. His mind began to churn as well, converting those words into important information and engraving them deep within his cerebellum.

"I'll remember that."

"If you obtain sufficiently high-quality, ancient 'skin' in the future, you can bring it here for completion and upgrading."

"Thank you, Mr. Ivan."

"You should still have a day before reporting to the academy. Stay here a while longer.

"I need to make sure the clothes don't develop any discomfort after you officially wear them. Although this rarely happens, we must ensure it doesn't."

"All right."
