The Reason for the Strong Magnetic Field and the National Platform
After returning to the company that afternoon, Wang An marked the actual landing sites of the previous meteorites on a map.
He gradually noticed something strange: some of the meteorite landing sites corresponded with the shapes of the mountains and the terrain.
With that in mind, he immediately looked up the introductory books on feng shui he had bought earlier.
They recorded some basic forms and functions of feng shui energy fields.
Judging from the results, the presence of the meteorites had activated and strengthened the local feng shui energy fields to some extent.
An activated feng shui energy field effectively created an area with even internal energy and little outside interference, buffering or blocking the chaotic energy outside, including some artificial electromagnetic radiation.
That was why, even after Wang An had removed most of the meteorites, the area still had a strong ability to block outside signals.
This made Wang An think that he might also need to take up the [Feng Shui Master] profession later.
The further a person progressed, the harder it became to improve their physical condition.
Perhaps after exceeding two points, he could use various potent medicines to maintain the rate of improvement.
But what about after his physical attributes reached three points? Or four?
That was where feng shui energy fields came in. Artificially altering the environment to strengthen an area's energy field and gather more energy from heaven and earth would help improve attributes.
Perhaps the growing strength of the mutated creatures in the area where the meteorite landing sites were concentrated, and the gradual strengthening of ordinary creatures, were related to the feng shui energy fields created by these special landforms and terrain.
If he speculated based on the supernatural powers that might appear in the future, the emergence of such high-level energy to support supernatural powers would surely require the conversion or refinement of vast amounts of other energy.
And in practical terms, nuclear reactions were where the energy truly was.
But very little of that violent energy could actually be used; its utilization rate was extremely low.
Human civilization was still only at the stage of boiling water. It had no way to efficiently convert it directly into another usable form of energy.
Thus, using the gentler, more controllable feng shui energy fields was imperative.
Wang An activated [Profession Guidance] for [Feng Shui Master] to see what the requirements were.
"Hm?"
[Feng Shui Master] [Profession requirements: spirit attribute 2, qi attribute 1.5, proficient mastery of a method for setting up a feng shui energy field, successful setup of one feng shui energy field capable of slowly improving attributes, 4 Class Change Stones.]
Upon seeing these requirements, Wang An's innate spirit gave him a warning.
Perhaps the path to supernatural power ahead lay in professions capable of improving the energy field of a local area.
To take up this profession, he needed a secret feng shui technique and a place to practice. Neither was easy to find.
The link the recovery personnel from the Administration and Recovery Department had sent him earlier might be able to help.
He took out his phone and opened it. The website required real-name login and an application to the state before entry was permitted.
He entered the identity of his previous Avatar and, unexpectedly, got straight in.
As soon as he entered the website, [National Special Resources and Talent Exchange Platform] appeared.
A notice for users popped up.
[You have entered the state-regulated Special Resources and Talent Exchange Platform. Please mind your words and conduct and refrain from making inappropriate statements. Before policies are issued and information is made public, do not disclose information about profession holders or this platform to others through any channels outside the designated areas of this platform. Otherwise, a case will be opened for review and investigation under the regulations on the management of special information in the national information security law.]
He clicked "I understand."
He then saw several forum sections, the distribution of meteorites across the country, their approximate remaining numbers, and recruitment notices posted on the platform by various major powers.
Shenzhou Mining: Recruiting guides familiar with entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains and possessing extensive experience. Starting salary of 100,000 yuan per month, with social insurance and a housing fund. Actual salary negotiable based on ability.
Chen Martial Arts School: Recruiting guides familiar with the Wuyi Mountains. Starting salary of 80,000 yuan per month, with social insurance and a housing fund. Actual salary negotiable.
Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion: Hiring professional exploration teams. Assignments based on actual tasks.
Dami Technology: Recruiting research-oriented profession holders at high salaries. The company will fund and prioritize their development. Excellent benefits.
Weihua Technology: Recruiting profession holders of all kinds at high salaries. The company will prioritize their development, provide benefits at the highest level, and arrange jobs for their family members.
There were several other sections: a profession holders' forum, which uncertified profession holders could not enter; bounties; trading; and, lastly, a personal page.
He saw his profile information: [Changnan Interstellar] exploration captain, explored alone, obtained 1 unused Class Change Stone, and used 3 to take up professions.
Assessment: good wilderness survival skills, an excellent meteorite hunter.
There was also a profession holder certification function on his personal page.
Apparently, he needed to register for certification with the state before he could enter the profession holders' forum.
"No wonder there hasn't been any stir online. It turns out they've all been brought together and placed under control at the national level.
"From this information, profession holders and people like me, who were invited in after coming into contact with Class Change Stones while exploring, are managed separately."
"Why is information about profession holders so strictly controlled?"
Somewhat puzzled, Wang An looked through a pinned post on the forum.
Official response: "Profession holder" is the term for an ordinary person who comes into contact with a Class Change Stone and successfully takes up a profession.
If someone fails to take up a profession on first contact, no instance has yet appeared of them succeeding through another means afterward.
Every person who successfully takes up a profession is a valuable resource to the country and society.
The world has never truly been at peace. Foreign forces will try to win these profession holders over if they can, and destroy them if they cannot obtain them.
Controlling information about them is a way of protecting them.
Because the first attempt at taking up a profession is very easy, it is viewed more as a screening for a special talent: either you have it or you don't.
Most people have made their first attempt at taking up a profession using Class Change Stones they collected themselves, or by applying on the platform to use the first-time profession platform.
Only a small number succeeded, giving a success rate of eight in a thousand.
Profession holders have merely gained somewhat faster learning abilities and auxiliary skills for their professions; no supernatural beings far stronger than ordinary people have appeared.
As long as they are carbon-based life forms, they still cannot withstand gunpowder weapons.
So the comments beneath the post were merely complaints from people curious about profession holders and speculation about them.
Two-Dimensional Little Girl: Can someone tell me what a profession is?
I heard professions only give you a bit of a learning bonus for certain professional skills.
Otherwise, they're still much the same as ordinary people. But maybe if you took up several professions and fused them together, you'd get a supernatural profession.
Then you could punch the Americans and kick the Japanese, hmph.
How Much Sorrow?: The chuunibyou kid upstairs has been reading too many novels, hasn't he?
This is the real world. Even though something as unscientific as profession holders has appeared, all it does is improve learning ability a little.
Wouldn't one shot still put them down?
Put several professions together, and at most you'd get another scientist or industry elite.
With just that little bit added, if you want to become supernatural, you'd better cultivate for a few decades or a hundred years first.
Some Passerby: Brother, you wrote more, so I support you.
Reality is reality. If you have talent, you have talent.
Just like Elder Qian said: "No matter how dumb a person is, can they really fail to learn calculus?"
College Student Returning Home to Start a Business: Brother, don't even mention calculus. Dead memories are attacking me again.
