A Profession of Exceedingly High Difficulty

Fran looked at the long list of catalogs in her hand and marveled at the Adventurers Guild's impressive facade; the catalog of exchangeable items alone was several pages long.

And almost every page was filled with text; these pages alone had hundreds of items in the table of contents.

"Give me the materials for the special metal."

When crafting high-level weapons, there are generally two options.

One option is to use the biological materials from those Magic Creature, such as the Earth Dragon that Fran defeated.

If you need a weapon enhanced with Earth Element, then the Earth Dragon Bone weapon will definitely meet your needs.

However, these Magic Creature materials are not always available; they depend heavily on supply and demand.

Sometimes this material can be listed on the exchange list for three months and no one wants it; other times, as soon as it's listed, someone will exchange it immediately.

And often, you can't get the materials you want immediately, either because the journey is long and transportation is difficult, or because the Magic Creature is rarely found and you haven't found one alive.

The second method involves using special man-made metals. These metals have a stable production volume and are unlikely to be in short supply in the long term.

Furthermore, both materials have their own strengths and weaknesses; some materials excel in certain aspects, while others are more balanced.

The manufacture of these special metals is basically a secret, and ordinary people rarely have access to them. Even Fran's mentor, Harbos, was unable to master the method of making a single special metal.

Fortunately, the maker knew that keeping the recipe safe was one thing, but if they refused to sell it, they wouldn't be so sure as to let others steal it.

Almost all special metals have numerous exchange channels, and even many low-level metals from the Alliance are sold to outsiders.

As a power spanning the entire continent, the Adventurers Guild naturally has a very rich list of special metals available for exchange.

Fran's mentor made a living by casting, so he naturally taught Fran many useful special metals.

Fran glanced at them only a few times before selecting the items she wanted.

"I need one standard ingot of Bluefire Steel, and half a standard ingot of Highland Silver..."

The receptionist, quick-witted and agile, immediately jotted down these details and then swiftly checked the warehouse...

"Your Excellency, these items are all available in the storeroom of Gede Town. They cost a total of 3 gold and 34 silver."

Fran didn't even frown, and said directly:

"Deduct it from the money I made selling the materials I used to hunt the Earth Dragon..."

"Oh, right," Fran pointed to a category in the catalog that piqued her interest: [First Order Profession Promotion Method]. "You actually sell First Order Profession Promotion Method here?"

This intrigued Fran. She hadn't expected to find other Promotion Method in her Profession at the Adventurers Guild, as she always preferred as many Profession as possible.

"Yes, Your Excellency Mage, it's just that the Profession advancements our Association sells are a bit difficult to obtain; you need records of defeating First Order Magic Creature to redeem them."

The receptionist emphasized the word 'difficult,' as if reminding Fran.

Everyone knows that the Adventurers Guild sells Profession, but not many Adventurer actually come here to advance their Profession.

Because most of these methods require a First Order Magic Creature hunting record to redeem.

At this point, someone said, "I'm not even at First Order, how am I supposed to kill a First Order Magic Creature?"

The receptionist had previously asked the head of the Adventurers Guild in Gede Town, and this was his answer.

"This is to test the Adventurer ' other abilities. If you can't beat them on your own, you can just join a party."

That's easy to say, but these days the workforce is basically saturated. Even if someone wants to recruit, they struggle with the cost of maintaining a large team.

This is just the first hurdle; the more difficult parts are yet to come.

When you finally obtain the hunting record for First Order Magic Creature and excitedly want to exchange it...

The receptionist took a crumpled piece of paper and handed it to Fran.

There was still some dust on the paper; it looked like it had just been roughly wiped clean.

As soon as Fran picked up the paper, Panel of images flashed through her mind.

[A new method for creating a new Profession has been detected...]

A new Profession has been detected...

[Detection...]

The Panel in her mind was pounding wildly, never stopping for a moment.

But before she could even feel happy, after carefully examining how one of the Profession was formed, she felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

[Profession: Demon Warrior (1.5 stars)]

Introduction: A Profession that gradually developed in the fight against Demon; those who fight Demon learn to utilize Demon power...

Conditions for formation: 1. Allow Demon blood to flow through your body.

2. Gain the Abyss's recognition.

3. Kill one hundred Demon.

[Profession: Druid (One Star)]

Synopsis: A group of people who believe in nature receive the power of nature.

Conditions for formation: Recognition from one's own tribe.

[Possesses natural affinity.]

There are so many Profession here, Profession Fran roughly counted more than twenty.

Moreover, many of them had reached a star rating of one and a half stars, which was the first time Fran had ever seen such a star rating.

However, these Profession are truly niche; for most of Profession, Fran had never heard of them on this list before.

However, there are many more strange and unusual conditions for achieving them, such as the first two Profession she saw.

The conditions for becoming Demon Warrior are extremely strict, requiring Demon blood to flow through the body. It should be noted that Demon blood is a highly corrosive liquid.

She had read in a book that Demon blood could be used as a weapon, but could only be used as a material in places like the Abyss.

As for the Abyss, it's known as a low-level forbidden area; only those at the third rank or higher are allowed to go Abyss, so she shouldn't even think about it.

As for Druid, Fran had also read about them in a book. They were a Profession found only in places far from the Alliance, where the tribes were so xenophobic they were practically committing indiscriminate massacres.

Those who aren't from those tribes can forget about ever becoming Druid in their lifetime.

The list in Fran's hand didn't list all the conditions like her Panel did; it only gave a rough explanation of the Profession and how difficult they were to Profession.

Logically speaking, Fran doesn't need to be exchanged, since her Panel already provides the specific conditions for achieving the goal. If you really want this Profession, just follow the steps on the Panel.

However, the list makes it clear that the Adventurers Guild will not only provide Promotion Method in these Profession, but also offer some assistance.

For example, if a Profession requires a unique Arts, and the Adventurers Guild lists that the Association has that Arts, they will give Arts to you as well.

Fran searched high and low and finally found two Profession whose requirements weren't so outrageous.
