478. Dream

"In any case, with the world lifting restrictions, I can continue to advance my career or find a job."

Sulu looked at the Attribute Panel:

[Ding, Tier 1 job information detected - Hypnotist! Job requirements: Spirit 1.3, Constitution 1.0, 5 grams of Blue Crystal... Requirements not met! Job unavailable!]

"In reality, after the world eased restrictions, I could still take up my previous profession, but that wouldn't meet the requirements of the 'new system' of rituals."

This "hypnotist" is a "hidden profession" that Sulu created for himself, and it is also a profession involving high-level mystical things such as dimensions and the Spirit World.

However, it seems the world has also imposed limitations on him in this regard, as further advancement requires special materials.

Sulu ignored all of that.

He gazed at the forest where the commotion was gradually subsiding, carefully considering matters concerning his new system.

'In my design, professionals must meet various conditions to advance in rank... In reality, this is the same as professions in other worlds; however, to advance as quickly as possible, they have to rely on external forces, such as concocting various magical potions that increase attributes.'

'I will give them the formula for this, and extraordinary species will gradually emerge in the world...'

Sulu didn't want to improve the strength of the professionals, as they were his future competitors.

But there was no other way; if they didn't do it this way, the needs of the new system couldn't be met, and the ritual failed.

To create a completely new and extraordinary system, there are requirements regarding the total number of professionals and their levels.

'And to spur them on, and also as a safety net... I've added restrictions to the new system... urging lower-level professionals to advance within a certain period, or face immense danger... After seeing my corpse, I roughly understand what methods will be used to adjust the world...'

'Nowadays, most spiritually enlightened individuals in the world with good aptitude probably have that dream, right? Dreaming that I... receive a legacy... even if it's only at the first level.'

'However, even with good aptitude and receiving the inheritance, one is only a quasi-'superhuman.' Even if one advances one level, one is still just a 'minor ability user.' Wanting to fight against airplanes and cannons? Forget about it.'

Given the technology of this world, aside from those special professions, if any other professional gets carried away and tries to cause trouble, the authorities of various countries can teach them a lesson in no time.

'Anyone below level four or five who tries to fight an army head-on is practically committing suicide...'

'However, their application of power is still too superficial.'

Sulu looked at his profession as a [hypnotist] and a smile appeared on his face.

Having read countless novels in my past life, and even encountered modern-day urban Mage who constantly tinkered with fireballs and Lightning, how utterly lame those were!

In Sulu's view, if one were to become Mage in modern society, there would only be two types of magic that one would need to focus on.

One is illusion, which, if developed, leads to the control of humanity.

The second is medical treatment, and the final stage of development is life extension technology.

Everything else is rubbish.

What do Fireball, Lightning, or even meteors matter compared to missiles and nuclear bombs?

As for the flow of time and space, the entry level is too high.

If you want to roam the world freely and enjoy a carefree life, illusion and healing magic are truly enough.

My initial career was designed based on this idea.

"Next, we need to collect some spiritual materials to prepare for the advancement and other things..."

Sulu stood up, gazing at the dense jungle, his eyes sparkling.

The concept of potions is broad, but in essence, it's just about the fusion and blending of spiritual elements, retaining the benefits while reducing the toxicity.

Could this also be applied to dishes?

"Potions don't necessarily have to be medicine, or rather... food is worse than medicine. Maybe the dishes I make in the future will really glow!"

"And professionals, by hunting extraordinary species to obtain various rare ingredients, which are then prepared by top-tier chefs, and their strength is enhanced through consumption... Hmm, this feels a bit like a Japanese anime."

"This is just one career option; it could easily be named ' Gourmet Hunter '?"

"Yawn..."

East City, rental house.

Li Weiwei got out of bed with dark circles under her eyes and kicked away a life-sized teddy bear pillow.

Although her dorm room wasn't exactly messy, the various cosmetics, clothes, and bags were scattered haphazardly, enough to deter anyone with a phobia of germs.

"I had nightmares all night."

Li Weiwei grumbled, looking at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror. "Oh no, oh no, I still have to work today."

She was still a little confused about the nightmare she had last night.

But gradually, Li Weiwei's expression changed.

Anyone who has had a nightmare knows that when you wake up, you usually only remember having a terrible nightmare, but the details become very vague or even completely forgotten.

But now, just recalling it briefly, the outline in the dream, the enormous black shadow... seems so vivid!

"Wait a minute... I was in a dream, and I was feeling dizzy... Now that I think about it, that dark shadow... it looked like a foot! A foot as high as a mountain, and those symbols... Ah!"

Li Weiwei clutched her head, her temples throbbing.

In her mind, a piece of information resurfaced:

"Moyella... Shigukki... Lalai..."

It seemed like an unknown language, whispering and crackling in Li Weiwei's ear, like a malfunctioning radio.

Finally, a piercing noise drowned out everything, causing Li Weiwei to fall to the ground and scream in agony.

Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she felt that she had actually come to understand that rambling speech:

"In the depths of that dark world... an indescribable being awaits your dream!"

"The black feathers of the Death-Announcing Bird, the powder of glittering gems, pure water and rosewater... mixed together... will become a brand new set of eyes and ears!"

For some reason, as soon as Li Weiwei saw the Death-Announcing Bird, she knew it was Crow.

It seems she already knew these things.

After a long while, her headache subsided, and Li Weiwei sat up, panting on the bed. "Did I... did I see a ghost? Or do I have a mental illness?"

She instinctively stood up, holding her phone, intending to ask for leave to go to the hospital for a checkup.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he quickly opened the search bar, searching for keywords such as 'nightmare,' 'giant,' and 'weird.' A large number of entries appeared.

It has to be said, in a big forest, you'll find all kinds of birds.

Although many 'Awakened Ones' are very cautious, there are also those who are not afraid of making things worse, and they directly revealed their nightmares from last night, as well as the information they received.

There was even a somewhat well-known streamer who went live to tell the story, but most people treated it as a ghost story.

Snap!

Li Weiwei's phone fell to the ground. Normally, this would have been enough to make her scream in distress, but now, her face was pale, and she unconsciously murmured to herself, "It's real! It's real!"
