Chapter 8: Improving Skill Proficiency? I have a way!
After school, Zheng Cheng returned home alone.
A small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room, more than half an hour away from No. 12 Middle School.
In a parallel world, he is an orphan.
Both his parents died in an accident when he was a child, and he was adopted by an orphanage.
A year ago, Zheng Cheng traveled through time and chose to leave the orphanage on his own initiative.
Relying on the experience in his previous life, he worked as a plagiarist and did some small business for more than a year and made a lot of money.
Only then did he rent a small room in the north of Chang'an City and find a place to stay .
I washed my face and just lay down on the bed when my cell phone rang.
When I picked it up, it was indeed Chen Xiao.
"Brother Cheng, have you figured out how to improve your skill proficiency?"
"Cai Kun and I have an appointment. We are going to compete together. Do you want to come?"
Zheng Cheng said in a strange tone: "Are you sure you want me to join?"
“Um… this…”
Chen Xiao said awkwardly, and tried to test: "How about you come and watch us practice?"
"Forget it, I have my own way."
Zheng Cheng simply rejected him: "By the way, where is Zhang Pingan?"
"He is following us too. His novice skill is called Plant Essence, which can extract essence from ordinary plants. After taking it, one can restore one's physical condition..."
After chatting with Chen Xiao for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
"Improve skill proficiency?"
"The effects of my skills are too terrifying. I don't think any professional would be willing to practice against me."
"Unless someone is willing to endure the instant outbreak of acute gastroenteritis."
"But they must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to have diarrhea..."
“Eh… that’s not right!”
"It seems there is a place..."
Chen Xiao tapped on the table and soon thought of something.
"This method may work, let's try it tomorrow..."
Early the next morning, Zheng Cheng took the bus to the Chang'an City Professional Guild in the city center.
This is the activity center for all professionals in Chang'an City. It was established by the government, but due to the participation of some powerful professionals and forces, it has long become a semi-official and semi-civilian organization.
In the professional guild, any professional can carry out professional level certification, trade materials and equipment, accept tasks, and so on.
Ordinary people or other professionals, countries, and organizations can also come here to post tasks.
Use Chinese currency or gold coins, materials, props, etc. as compensation to hire other professionals to help you complete specific tasks.
Surrounding the Professional Guild are buildings such as the City Lord's Mansion, Professional University, auction house, and major chambers of commerce.
Walking into the Professionals' Union, you will see rows of transparent glass workbenches like those in a government hall.
Each of the beautiful young ladies with good figures and good looks handled affairs for the visitors with a sweet smile.
Those who can come here are either professionals or rich and powerful people.
How can an ordinary office worker offend them?
On both sides of the service hall are other professional unions.
The Array Master Guild, the Mage Guild, the Knight Guild, etc.
They are established by specific powerful professionals, are affiliated with professional guilds, and are specifically managed by professional unions.
But each union has its own system.
Specific new professionals can join the union to which their profession belongs and get help from the union.
Following the arrow, Zheng Cheng walked through the service hall and arrived at another place.
This is a building that is entirely white.
There is also a bright red "cross" sign on the tall building outside.
Chang'an City, Pastors' Union.
All priests, healing druids and other restoration professionals in Chang'an City are managed here.
There are more people coming and going here!
When I arrived at a counter, a young lady in OL professional attire soon came to greet me.
"Little brother, what's the matter?"
“I want to build a professional profile.”
The professional lady's eyes suddenly lit up. Such a young professional?
August and September of every year are the days for Xia Country’s professionals to awaken.
These two months are also the busiest time for the Professional Union.
She immediately turned on the computer and asked, "Sir, you should be a senior high school student who has just been promoted to an awakened professional."
"Yes."
"Is the profession a priest? What star rating?"
"Pastor, three stars."
"Um... a three-star priest? The most basic profession?"
"Yes..." Zheng Cheng asked, "Why, can't we create a file?"
"sure."
The professional lady stopped trying to curry favor with him and said in a formal manner, "May I ask your name?"
"Zheng Cheng."
"age."
"Eighteen."
“…”
After a few minutes, the professional profile was created.
The lady in professional attire handed over a chip similar to an ID card.
"Mr. Zheng, this is your professional certificate. With this certificate, you can accept tasks and publish messages in the Professional Union..."
Zheng Cheng asked directly: "I want to rent a treatment room at the Pastors' Union. What procedures do I need?"
The lady in professional attire still smiled and said, "All you need is proof of your occupation and a certain amount of rent. How many days do you want to rent, Mr. Zheng?"
"What is the minimum rent?"
"Seven days."
"Then I'll rent it for seven days."
"One thousand dollars a day, or 1 silver coin. Are you sure you want to rent it?"
"One silver coin..."
Zheng Cheng was amazed. Why is it so expensive for this pastor to rent a treatment room?
In the Professional Guild, every auxiliary profession and life profession can rent a room here to provide services to other auxiliary professions.
Treatment, refining, alchemy, monster refining, enchantment, etc. are all possible.
Gold coins are the trading currency condensed from the soul power of monsters after professionals kill monsters in the wild or in dungeons.
Very precious.
There are three types of coins: copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.
1 copper coin is equivalent to 100 yuan for ordinary people.
1 silver coin is equivalent to one thousand yuan.
And 1 gold coin is worth 10,000 yuan!
Over the past year, he has spent a lot of money on schooling, renting a house, and living.
But in order to improve my skills, I have no choice but to stay here.
after all.
The Professional Guild has the largest number of people coming and going, whether they are professionals or wealthy people!
The lady in professional attire seemed to see through Zheng Cheng's embarrassment and explained, "Mr. Zheng, one thousand yuan a day is really not expensive."
"You are a priest, a rare breed, and you have the ability to recover. Some wealthy people are willing to enjoy the services of a priest."
"You can charge at least two thousand dollars for one treatment, which can completely offset your rent..."
Zheng Cheng had a strange expression on his face. Healing skills?
Does it count as causing diarrhea?
He laughed at himself and nodded, "Okay, then I'll rent it for seven days."
"Okay, I'll do it for you right away."
The lady in professional attire quickly typed on the computer for a few seconds, then took out a bunch of keys from the counter and handed them Zheng Cheng.
"Hello, Mr. Zheng, this is the treatment room you rented."
"Area A, No. 58!"
"No. 58, Area A?"
Zheng Cheng's mouth twitched: "In other words, there are 58 priests here?"
