Side Professions

The scenes on the screen sparked excited discussions among the students and their teammates.

Since the start of their freshman year, the school had encouraged students to form teams.

Because a team cannot be forged overnight.

Of course, there were some who waited until their junior year to choose a team.

But this often resulted in poor team synergy, which easily led to accidents.

Now that these students understood the importance of teamwork, they had to hurry up and build that synergy!

They must not wait until an accident occurred to feel regret!

While these students were discussing excitedly.

The recruitment leaders from the vocational schools were still desperately trying to win over all the students who had failed the trial.

King Yama Zhou watched all this with a heavy heart, but he did not stop them.

Because he understood that for those who failed the trial, choosing a vocational school might be their only path to survival.

King Yama Zhou's indulgence also made the recruitment leaders from these vocational schools increasingly aggressive.

A large group of them blocked the stone tablet teleportation array, desperately promoting their schools to anyone who emerged.

King Yama Zhou's expression remained as cold as ever.

Was he heartless?

No.

He was heartbroken too!

However, this was something they had to experience!

In this era, every student had to be prepared to die at any moment! Since you chose this path, you had to be prepared for this!

In the audience.

The students' emotions had shifted from initial excitement to fear and despondency.

Only now did they realize that people could actually die in the trials.

"The way Ling Zhan handled it with such ease gave us all the illusion that this level was simple..."

"Sigh! It'll be our turn next year, we sophomores!"

"Seeing Ling Zhan easily take care of thousands of poison crabs, I thought I could do it too, but this scene was a real wake-up call."

Ling Zhan's performance was simply too perfect, too effortless.

It gave people the illusion that the trial level was nothing special.

Now, everyone had finally awakened from that illusion.

Effortless... that was only relative to Ling Zhan.

For ordinary students like them, it was still filled with lethal danger!

Some had even thought about soloing it when their own trial came.

Thinking about it now, that bold idea was truly stupid! It was practically suicide!

When the first team suffered a death.

It meant that other teams would suffer casualties as well.

Even though these teams had chosen the "easy" difficulty for their levels.

At this difficulty, there were only a few mutants among the swarm of poison crabs.

Yet even so, frequent casualties were still occurring.

The frequent scenes of death appearing on the projection screen made the expressions of the students in the audience even more solemn.

Some of the timid ones, thinking about the terrifying monsters they would have to face in the future, were trembling with pale faces.

In short, with their varied expressions, the freshmen and sophomores were deeply moved.

A large group of vocational school recruiters finally cornered another unlucky soul. They swarmed him like flies.

"Student, join our school. We have a variety of side professions."

Side professions, to put it bluntly, were professions without combat capabilities.

In this world, where trial levels appeared randomly everywhere, danger was constant, and the mainstream professions required were absolutely combat-oriented.

Because only powerful combat strength could protect the peace of the world.

So that there would be no lack of response when monsters invaded.

But if a student was truly unsuited for a combat profession, they could develop a side profession without combat capabilities.

And these side professions held a high status in society.

For example, an Alchemist. If your level was high enough, you could concoct special pills, which were necessities for teams tackling high-difficulty levels.

Which team didn't prepare pills?

Some increased attack power.

Some increased movement speed.

Some increased attack speed.

In short, Alchemist was a good choice for a side profession.

Enchanter was also a very popular side profession.

Every profession's weapon could be enchanted.

If you had the materials, you could enchant it.

Moreover, a high-level Enchanter had a higher success rate for enchantments.

By the way, when you asked an Enchanter to enchant a weapon, you had to bear the consequences of failure yourself, while the Enchanter did not have to take responsibility for it.

So if you wanted to find someone to enchant, you had to find a high-level Enchanter to ensure a higher probability of success.

"At least there is still hope."

The faces of the failed students gradually began to look better.

That was right.

Heaven never closes all doors.

This was also the path to survival that King Yama Zhou had found for these students who failed the trial.

He hoped they could seize it.

Unknowingly, the death toll had already reached over a dozen.

And in the time to come, this death toll would continue to rise!

At the same time, the students who had failed or were injured returned to the school plaza.

Some teams had failed and withdrawn, but they could accept the result because they had passed the minimum requirement: killing one thousand Sewage Poison Crabs.

Although they couldn't get into a better university, they wouldn't have to become ordinary administrative staff.

But more teams had failed completely, not even achieving a passing grade, and had retreated in dejection.

For a moment.

There were those crying in sorrow on the plaza, and those with their heads bowed in despair.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the official station reporter, who had been quiet, let out an exclamation.

Everyone subconsciously followed her gaze.

On the big screen.

Ling Zhan had already penetrated deep into the inner area of the trial level.

"This student's progress in clearing the level is far ahead of the other trial-takers. But why is his profession displayed as: None?" The official station reporter, the team leader Li Qing, asked.

Ha.

This sentence really hit the nerve of the teachers and students present.

Without needing the school leaders to introduce him, the freshmen and sophomores were already shouting at the top of their lungs.

But the content of their shouting, to Li Qing's ears, made her feel like these little brats were treating her like a fool.

Jobless Freelancer!

Soloing the level!

First stage of the trial, full marks!

Killed 10,000 monsters alone, reached the outer area of Sewage City, and the river water was dyed red with the monsters' blood!?

What the hell...

Are you kidding me?

"Director Zhou, your students love to brag, can't you manage them?" Li Qing questioned. She couldn't imagine what kind of quality these candidates had.

One person bragging was one thing, but now thousands of freshmen and sophomores were bragging together, and right in front of the school leaders, you dare believe it!?

"Cough, cough."

King Yama Zhou's old face flushed red.

He thought to himself, don't talk about you, I didn't believe it at first either.

Damn it, this kid is a monster, what can I do?
