"Indeed, knowledge is power!"

"That Donald spent his time in university scheming to obtain a supernatural profession, while Catherine and Alanis were lucky enough to be taken in as Apprentice by Black of the Ancient Serpent Society, but what they paid for it is hard to say... Even I didn't have many choices back then."

Sulu's gaze swept across the area, and with just a rough count, he discovered more than five extraordinary professions. "But little did he know... as long as one enters a truly powerful force and becomes a core member, while inheritance is uncertain, becoming an extraordinary being is no problem at all."

He thought for a moment, then grabbed the book "How to Become a Spellcaster".

In an instant, resistance appeared, and a notice appeared. "Reading this book requires 80 points, and it may not be taken out of the White Tower!"

"That's really expensive, but on the other hand, in Green Tree Castle, if you have 100 points, you can basically choose any Tier 1 profession..."

Sulu did not pull it out, but turned and went to the third floor.

This is the limit for the Two-Leaf members.

The third level of the White Tower.

The light source floats in the void, and there are no windows on any side, giving people a feeling of complete enclosure and oppression.

The bookshelves here are fewer than on the second floor, but they are mostly filled with books on esoteric knowledge. On the most central shelf, a wealth of professional information is displayed:

[Soldier], [Apprentice], [Acolyte], [Swordsman], [Beast Herder]...

Not only first-tier professions, but also some second-tier profession information.

For example, the second-tier [Swordsman] is an advanced branch of the first-tier [Soldier]. Moreover, [Soldier] can also choose to advance to become [Gunfighter] or [Ranger]!

"Also... [Acolyte]? Does that mean trainee priest? A first-order profession among the clergy of the Church?"

Sulu glanced at it a few times and found that he had gained a lot.

Of course, while there aren't many Tier 1 extraordinary professions, they haven't all been collected here either.

For example, first-tier [Demon Contractor] and [Medium], etc.

Sulu estimated that some of these professions were too mysterious, and some were too dangerous. If you really wanted information about these professions, you would probably have to go to a higher level.

Unfortunately, with his current level of access, reaching the third level is his limit.

'However... my purpose in coming here is still to find the prerequisites for [Planeswalker]... If I can't find the information here, then I'll have to give up, advance to the [Mystic Master] path, and then think about doing part-time work.'

Sulu recalled the onboarding manual and found that the environment Inner Circle Green Tree Castle was very relaxed.

New employees have three months to adapt, attend classes and learn, or be promoted to become extraordinary individuals.

Three months later, some research tasks will be carried out, many of which are related to supernatural powers.

Of course, you can also apply to research a topic on your own, or even lead an experimental team. But to do that, you either need to present a sufficiently attractive prospect to convince the Green Tree Council in the Inner Circle, or you can directly exchange points for it.

My five hundred or so points are really not enough.

"Hello, are you Mr. Potter?"

Just as he was pondering, a voice suddenly broke in, interrupting his thoughts.

"Um?"

Sulu looked up and saw a white man who looked to be around twenty years old. He was handsome, with slightly wavy, wine-red hair, and exuded confidence.

Hello, may I ask who you are?

"Orchi Francis!"

The young man with wine-red hair answered readily, the three green leaf badges on his chest gleaming. "I follow Mentor Spa!"

"Hello!"

Sulu recalled the information and found that there was only one mentor with the surname Spa in the inner ring, and he was also from the Electricity Research Institute faction, second only to the Ninth Seat, Slayden Water. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"In fact... I read your paper and I'm very interested in that device called ' Telegraph,' it will change the world!"

Orchi spoke very directly, "You may not know this, but I'm still a member of the Francis Consortium. I like your invention and want to work on it."

'Sure enough, there isn't a single fool in the Inner Circle; the profits from Telegraph are astonishing.'

Sulu's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. "How does it work?"

He had heard of the Francis Consortium before; it was a behemoth with power spanning the Federation, primarily operating in the media sector.

"I'll set up a Telegraph Company, and you can contribute your patents as equity; in return, I'll give you 20% of the shares!"

Orchi had already thought it through, "What do you think?"

"Not very good, I think it's worth 50%!"

Sulu shook his head. "You know, even if superhumans can communicate with each other through some special means, and very quickly, it's not possible for it to become widespread... We can't capture a group of superhumans to use as energy sources and transmitters, but the Telegraph is different. It doesn't rely on any mysterious power at all, and ordinary people can operate and maintain it. It's an invention that could change the world."

"However... laying Telegraph lines is a huge expense, and without substantial investment, it will be difficult to generate profits!"

Orchi laughed, "Do you want it locked in a safe for decades? If you think the shares aren't enough, we can discuss it."

"This... I need to think about it."

Sulu replied apologetically.

Such matters cannot be settled in just a few words.

At the very least, we need to go back and investigate this person and the forces behind him.

"No problem."

Orchi readily agreed, then glanced at the surrounding bookshelves. "Contemplating the path to transcendence? I suggest you borrow the <Encyclopedia of Professions> first! It's on this floor, containing many common extraordinary professions. Although it only provides brief introductions, it's enough to allow you to compare with others and make a choice."

"Oh? Thank you!"

Sulu's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him.

Perhaps only a behemoth like Green Tree Castle Laboratory, with its vast collection of professional information, could compile such an encyclopedic introduction.

While certainly not comprehensive, it is sufficient to serve as a reference for beginners.

"Farewell!"

Orchi bowed politely and walked out of the White Tower.

"Hehe... You failed, didn't you?"

Behind him, a woman appeared out of nowhere, saying in a mocking voice, "A researcher who could invent the Telegraph couldn't be a fool. How could you possibly fool him with just a few words?"

"That's my business!"

A flash of anger crossed Orchi's face. "Get your job done, Jessira!"

"I know... Unfortunately, the Ninth Seat's speed was too fast. If the opponent was just a researcher from the Outer Circle, then we have many methods..."

Jessira didn't leave; she licked her lips.

"Do you even need to tell me? But... I'll have a way!"

Orchi said somewhat dejectedly.

Once inside the Inner Circle, one is officially under the protection of the Green Tree Council, and certain actions become prohibited, requiring negotiation only through proper channels.

However, even so, within an organization, there are still factions and hierarchical divisions, and there may still be loopholes to exploit!
