"<Soldier's Training> requires 80 points to read and must not be taken out of the White Tower!"

"<The Rogue Advancement> requires 200 points to read and cannot be taken out of the White Tower!"

There's a pattern to the extraordinary books in the White Tower: they contain both high-level and low-level content, but the low-level content lacks high-level material.

Sulu only glanced at the third floor before finding the class information for [Soldier] and [Rogue]. Looking at the terrifying consumption, he felt a pang of sympathy.

"It would be great if we could get career information just by touching it, but unfortunately, that feature isn't available!"

Although the Attribute Panel contains great power, the host must read it first.

Unable to gain an advantage in this regard, Sulu could only borrow "Soldier's Training" and slowly peruse it.

[Ding! First-tier job information detected - Soldier! Requires Strength 1.5 and Constitution 1.0 for employment!... Conditions met! Do you wish to complete the employment by consuming 150 experience points?]

A notification bar immediately appeared.

"With my physical condition, I could easily take the job directly, but it seems a bit conspicuous?"

Sulu didn't immediately use the Attribute Panel, but instead looked at the book in his hand.

He sensed that when he borrowed the book, he had signed a Word Spirit Contract with the White Tower, which stipulated that he must not divulge the extraordinary content.

Of course, this kind of mandatory contract doesn't have much backlash.

Even if you violate the rules, the only consequence is that the White Tower will find out immediately.

But considering the power of Green Tree Castle Laboratory within the Federation, one can imagine how terrifying the consequences would be.

"Perhaps... it's time to change things up and try a more orthodox approach to advancement. That doesn't seem like a bad idea!"

Sulu stroked his chin.

With the resources of the Inner Circle, supporting his promotion to [Soldier] wouldn't be much of a problem.

Furthermore, his class has already reached level 2, so he doesn't need to worry about a sharp decrease in experience points before advancing to the third rank of [Shadow Warrior].

After thinking about it, he decided to replace the second-tier [Rogue] as well.

[Ding! Second-tier job information detected - Rogue. Requires a first-tier prerequisite job: Soldier, Constitution 2.0, Agility 1.5!... Requirements not met! Unable to take the job!]

In this way, although the points in the Two-Leaf Badge have been reduced to 208, the two job information have been included in the Attribute Panel, so there is no need to worry about it anymore.

"As for the third-tier [Shadow Warrior], and even the fourth-tier [Dimensional Walker], I'm afraid they'd have to go to the fourth or even the fifth floor..."

Sulu had a toothache.

The number of floors in the White Tower corresponds to one's identity and access level. To access a particular floor, one needs to raise their access level to at Three-Leaf or even Four-Leaf Five-Leaf.

This is unlikely unless he makes a series of groundbreaking research findings or sells the Telegraph patent directly.

But no matter what you do, it will attract too much attention.

"Next, I'll take up my post as a [Soldier] in the proper way, and then read books every day to gain experience... Although there are very few books that contain experience points, little by little, they add up. This White Tower is my treasure trove. I'll make full use of the three-month adaptation period given by the Inner Circle."

Sulu thought for a moment, then suddenly paused. "And there's that Orchi from before, who was very interested in my Telegraph patent. He's the one with the Three-Leaf Authority... Perhaps we could consider it?"

In fact, he had already discovered that the three-tiered Encyclopedia of Professions was still abridged.

If you go even higher, you might even find information about the profession of [Dream Master].

Training ground.

"[The Soldier's] breakthrough is simple: training! Through massive, rigorous, high-intensity training—training that would cause an ordinary Soldier to urinate blood directly—they are stimulated to push their physical limits!"

A two-meter-tall, muscular white man was training Sulu: "Your physical attributes are quite good, almost top-tier among ordinary people, and your physique is astonishing. But if you want to become extraordinary, you need a lot more training! Don't be afraid of getting injured, don't be afraid of ruining your body, there are plenty of resources in the Inner Circle!"

"Yes, Coach!"

Sulu, who was sweating profusely, answered loudly.

Within the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle, you can get anything as long as you have points.

At least, that's the case at lower levels.

He rented the proper training facilities and coaches; it only cost him 4 points a week, which was a great deal.

Moreover, there are dedicated chefs and waiters in the Inner Circle, all revolving around him, creating the most nutritious and delicious menus for him.

If you're willing to spend more points, you can also buy some potions that can help you break through to the next level.

Today, Sulu started by doing hundreds of push-ups and a long run to warm up, then lifted dumbbells and vigorously pumped iron.

After the activities begin, we will need to increase our strength through weightlifting.

This coach is fierce; he started with 200 pounds right off the bat.

Fortunately, Sulu's physical condition was indeed abnormal, and he was able to withstand it.

After completing these training sessions, he enjoyed a sumptuous lunch personally designed by a chef and nutritionist, followed by a rest period where a dedicated masseur relaxed his muscles.

In the afternoon, it was time for our daily reading.

Sulu arrived at the White Tower, picked up a Aesop's Fables, and began to read it slowly.

His tastes are very diverse; even if you go through all the books he's read, you won't gain anything from them.

Only Sulu knew that he specifically chose rare, original copies of books that possessed special energy, drawing upon their experiences.

Although such books are extremely rare in the White Tower, there are more than a dozen on each of the first to third floors, each providing anywhere from dozens to hundreds of experience points. Purchasing them with points is a very worthwhile investment.

Just then, a man sat down in front of him; it was the Red-Haired Man Orchi: "Have you made your decision?"

"The Francis Consortium is indeed very powerful, and I'm willing to cooperate with you... even for just 10% of the shares!"

Sulu answered without looking up.

"So... what do you want?" Orchi's expression turned solemn, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"Since arriving at the White Tower, I've realized how ridiculous I was before. I desperately want to explore the ocean of knowledge... Unfortunately, with my current access level, I can only access the first three levels. If you can let me to the fourth or fifth level, or provide the materials I need, then we can make a deal."

Sulu replied readily.

To be honest, if the Telegraph patent were transferred to the White Tower, it might directly elevate their status to Three-Leaf Four-Leaf, but Sulu was really reluctant to do so.

This is a highly profitable project that's destined to make money!

Of course, we should try other approaches first. If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to relinquish the patent.

Compared to a mere wired Telegraph, his extraordinary path was certainly more important.

"I'll find you some information, something about extraordinary professions?"

Orchi was a smart man, and he reacted quickly. "I need to think about it!"

Now it was his turn to hesitate.

"Please consider it; I welcome it anytime."

Sulu waved his hand.

Orchi stood up, pondered for a moment, and walked away.

The price was indeed a bit too high, but what he was thinking was something else entirely.

' Inner Circle truly values Sulu is his pioneering thinking and research ability, but the invention of the Telegraph was merely a continuation of previous achievements plus an Inspiration... If he cannot continue to innovate in this area and demonstrate sufficient value in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him.'

Information about the White Tower cannot be circulated among individuals; doing so requires a great deal of resources.

If Sulu had chosen a larger share, it would have made negotiations easier.
