The Most Mysterious Profession

"Captain, is the Sequencer Profession very powerful?"

Lin Yi remembered that when Gu Chenghu had introduced the Four Professions to him earlier, he had seemed especially impressed by the Sequencer Profession.

Gu Chenghu said, "Not only is it powerful, it's also very rare. Do you know how the Four Professions came about?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

"Half a year ago, when you Newborns appeared on this continent, the Village Chief sighed and said a few things. I kept those words in mind afterward."

"He said that on this ancient land, there had once been four instances of Newborns appearing. After that came the Four Professions."

The moment he heard this, Lin Yi's heart jolted.

No wonder the people of Ancient Pool Village were not at all unfamiliar with Newborns like them. It turned out Newborns had existed long ago.

But what did Newborns have to do with the Four Professions?

Could it be that every time Newborns appeared, a new profession emerged on the continent?

Gu Chenghu did not notice the confusion on Lin Yi's face and continued explaining the Four Professions as he understood them.

"On the Apocalypse Continent, the oldest profession is the Martial Profession. It is the most common profession, and its talent threshold is not high. As long as one has a fighting spirit and sufficient Qi-Blood, they can become a Martial Artist before the Martial Arts Stone Tablet."

"Qingshan, your talent with the blade is truly astonishing. The Martial Profession would actually be a good choice for you."

"The second profession is Divine Sacrifice. You can tell from its name that Divine Sacrifices must communicate with deities to gain power. Across the entire Apocalypse Continent, villages and cities with Divine Sacrifice Profession inheritances are exceedingly rare. Ancient Pool Village just happens to be one of them. As for the deity our village worships, I won't tell you that. But if you pay close attention, you should be able to notice something..."

After a pause, Gu Chenghu began speaking about the Witch Profession.

"I don't know much about the Witch Profession. What little I do know mostly came from Elder Gu Yun. He said Witches do not rely on external power. They are people who pursue truth and use knowledge to pry open the world."

"The most important thing for the Witch Profession is Spirit Power. As long as your Spirit Power far exceeds that of ordinary people, you can consume a certain amount of resources after reaching Level 10 to become a Witch. If you're interested in Witches, you can ask Elder Gu Yun after you return to the village someday."

"Lastly, there are the Sequencers, the most mysterious of the Four Professions. This profession appeared the latest on the Apocalypse Continent, and it is also the most mysterious and powerful profession."

"Ancient records in the village say that if Divine Sacrifices gain power through faith in deities, then Sequencers walk the Path to Godhood, the most convenient path to becoming powerful..."

"But the Sequencer Profession is extremely rare. I heard there is a limit to its numbers."

"So if you come across a Sequencer Inheritance, you absolutely cannot miss it. You must seize this opportunity."

Lin Yi nodded. "Thank you, Captain. I understand."

After listening to Gu Chenghu, Lin Yi felt that his understanding of the Four Professions had become much clearer.

Especially the Sequencer Profession.

If there really was a complete Sequencer Inheritance in the cave Old Fourth Gu had mentioned, then he could not afford to miss this opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi asked, "Captain, do I still need to log in tonight?"

Gu Chenghu said, "No rush. If Old Fourth Gu's trip goes smoothly, there may be news by dawn. But if it doesn't, I'm afraid the Village Chief won't let him out."

"How about this, Qingshan? Log in after midnight and take a look. We'll make preparations then."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement. "Alright."

Gu Chenghu seemed to recall something and asked, "By the way, Qingshan, you said you ran into trouble in your own world today?"

"Yes, but it's only a small matter."

Gu Chenghu reminded him, "It's good if you can handle it yourself. From the Newborns I encountered before, the order in your world is quite stable, and even people at the bottom can live relatively peaceful lives. But as extraordinary power emerges, the old order will be broken. You need to understand that and prepare early."

Lin Yi had not expected Gu Chenghu to see things so clearly. It also seemed that the people of Ancient Pool Village had some understanding of their real world.

"Don't worry, Captain. I'm very safe right now..."

Afterward, Lin Yi logged off and left.

By the time Lin Yi returned to the real world, it was already dark outside the apartment.

At that moment, music reached his ears. Liu Yuxi from the room next door was playing music.

Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Everything about the Talent Apartment he rented was good except for the terrible soundproofing.

Thinking about how easily the Black Card Alliance's people had broken into his home today, Lin Yi felt it was time to consider moving.

Over the years, he had gradually saved four to five hundred thousand yuan through the Gold Farming Studio. But last time, in order to kill cattle and stack his Blood Siphon Talent to the maximum, he had stuffed roughly over two hundred thousand yuan into the slaughterhouse owner's hands.

The money he had left was not enough to buy a house, but renting a Residential Area with a pleasant environment and comprehensive security would not be a problem.

If he needed money, Lin Yi could also exchange supplies from Apocalypse World for RMB.

Honestly speaking, he could easily trade even a small amount of the supplies in his hands for several million yuan.

But as long as bank card transfers were involved, his trail could be traced. So unless he was desperately short on money, Lin Yi would not expose his real-world identity in the game.

Also, the words Gu Chenghu had said before he logged off had stayed with Lin Yi.

To the people of Earth, Apocalypse World was not only a dangerous extraordinary world, but also a supreme opportunity.

As the number of Activation Codes grew, more and more people in reality would gain extraordinary abilities. One could imagine that the order of this world would inevitably be broken one day, then reshuffled.

Right now, Lin Yi, like most people, was running at the very front.

Moreover, Lin Yi possessed a Red Talent. If he could not make good use of such an advantage, that would truly be inexcusable.

Since he had eaten lunch rather late, Lin Yi first did some light exercise that evening before having dinner.

However, because Lin Yi's current physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, he had to hold back whenever he worked out, which felt extremely uncomfortable.

Once he had a larger home in the future, he would have to set up a place for martial arts training and exercise.

Around midnight, following Gu Chenghu's instructions, Lin Yi logged in to take a look. But there was no sign of Old Fourth Gu outside Ancient Tomb Valley.

It seemed Old Fourth Gu's plan to seek outside help had failed.

Lin Yi did not mind. After greeting Gu Chenghu, he logged off and left.

Just then, Lin Yi received a message from Liu Bo.

"Brother Yi? Are you asleep? If not, let's go grab some skewers. The Black Card Alliance matter is over. Tonight, I even called Zhao Yilong, the Black Card Alliance's boss. He said he and my dad are good friends..."

Clearly, Liu Bo had run into something he could not quite figure out and wanted Lin Yi to help him analyze it.
