Volume 2 Amber Chapter 42: New Secondary Occupation
When Chen Lun returned to 7 Denton Street, it was already late at night.
The purple moon was now obscured by floating clouds, and the light was dim.
He vaguely saw a petite figure standing in front of the corridor.
"You're back."
A familiar ethereal voice was heard.
After hearing the voice, Chen Lun realized that the person waiting for him here was Floyd.
"Are you still awake? Standing here waiting for me?"
Chen Lun responded, then chuckled and said:
"Let's go upstairs and rest."
Floy stood quietly in the darkness without saying a word, but just smiled at him.
"Um."
Floyd followed Chen Lun upstairs and returned to her room on the fourth floor.
As soon as he opened the door, Chen Lun saw a hairy creature rushing towards him.
"Hey! It's you again, you little dog!"
Chen Lun was surprised.
It was dark outside at the time and he didn't pay much attention. It turned out that this guy was a black and white Border Collie.
It's just that it has been wandering outside for quite a long time, and its hair is dirty and even tangled.
At first glance it looks like a black dog.
The dog licked his hand with a flattering look.
"You don't want to stay here, do you?"
Chen Lun stared at it with his eyes slanted, with a strange expression.
The dog whimpered a few times, and the wagging of its tail slowed down.
It lowered its head and slowly walked toward the door. When it reached the door, it did not forget to turn around and look at Chen Lun.
Seeing that Chen Lun didn't say anything, it turned its head and looked at Floy again.
Unfortunately, Floy was blind and didn't see the dog's winks.
"What a drama queen..."
Chen Lun sighed secretly, then waved his hand.
"Okay, you stay here for now."
The stray dog came back happily with its tail wagging like a windshield wiper and its tongue hanging out.
It wanted to jump up and give Chen Lun a hug, but Chen Lun dodged it and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Gouzi looked at Chen Lun aggrievedly, but the latter looked at Floy.
"Floy, let Connie give it a bath tomorrow."
"OK, all right."
Floy nodded.
She stood in the living room and noticed that Chen Lun had turned around and walked towards his room. She said softly:
"Thanks."
I don’t know whether she was thanking Chen Lun for taking in the dog, or thanking him for saving her in time.
Chen Lun waved his hand without even turning his head.
"Go to bed early, it's late."
After saying that, the door closed gently.
Chen Lun pulled out a chair and sat down. The table was facing the window. Through the window, he could see the purple moon in the sky, half-obscured by clouds.
He silently accepted the mission reward in his heart.
Then a drawing appeared in his hand, which was completely different from the copy he had seen at the Iron Fist Gang’s base before.
[Crazy Hand Prototype Drawing - Fireworks in the Palm]
Item description: An oil painting of extraordinary power.
A master painter in a mysterious field copied a strange object that looked like a weird mechanical glove.
If a highly skilled craftsman were to observe for a long time, there might be a small chance that he could create the most accurate replica.
Chen Lun nodded. This was what a mad hand should look like. What kind of things did the Iron Fist Gang create...
He put the drawing away, as he had a feeling it would be useful in the future.
Then he took out the old book he got from Kent.
Memoirs of Recorder Ken Birney
When he saw this book, he had a guess in his mind, and now is a good opportunity to try it out.
Chen Lun opened the book and began to read.
Soon he perked up.
[You have discovered a precious book containing information and knowledge about secondary occupations! ]
[By reading carefully, you have gained the secondary occupation knowledge (complete)! ]
【Recorder】
[The inheritance conditions have been met. Do you want to make it your new secondary occupation? ]
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and of course chose to inherit.
[You have acquired the skill [Transcribing LV1]! ]
Just as I guessed, this side job is indeed hidden in this book.
He was secretly delighted.
[Recorder] is a relatively special secondary profession.
It can be said that it is useless, or it can be said that it is extremely powerful. Because it improves combat ability very little, but it is a top-level logistics secondary profession.
In the previous life, it was exclusive to a small group of high-end lifestyle players, and only the big guilds had the capital to cultivate them.
Because it is very rare and expensive.
The knowledge of the extraordinary sequence pathways in "The Mysterious Age" is a one-time consumable.
For example, after Chen Lun has finished reading the [Beast Tamer's Manual], there will be no benefit if a second person reads it again.
But with the [Recorder] sub-profession, one can copy the mysterious knowledge of any extraordinary sequence pathway by consuming the mysterious substance of the corresponding sequence pathway.
This transcribed extraordinary knowledge can be effective.
In short, the effect of mass production of extraordinary people can be achieved.
However, it is limited to knowledge of low-sequence extraordinary pathways, and each transcription will consume a large amount of sanity points.
Therefore, the big guild must provide enough mysterious substances and precious items that can restore sanity points in order to continuously obtain extraordinary knowledge.
This is also where it burns money.
Except for the big guilds backed by the consortium, ordinary people can't afford it. But even if it costs so much, any big guild hopes to have more [Recorders] in its house.
Only in this way can they have more core competitiveness and appeal than other forces, and the lone rangers will be more willing to join them just to exchange for a ticket to the extraordinary world.
"Secret Era" is different from other holographic online games. The main profession is not included at the beginning. If you want to become a superhuman, you can only rely on your own efforts and opportunities.
Otherwise you will just be an ordinary person your whole life.
How many players, after entering the game, are frustrated because they cannot find the extraordinary knowledge.
In the later stage of the public beta of version 1.0 in his previous life, Chen Lun had seen many ordinary players who were stuck at the version cap of level 30 and had no main profession.
It's really miserable.
But in fact, as long as they join the big guild and sign the contract, they can get free extraordinary knowledge and become an extraordinary person.
However, these players are obviously unwilling to kneel down and accept the constraints.
I would rather be mediocre than lose my freedom!
So is there any way to obtain extraordinary knowledge without doing anything?
It didn’t exist before, but it exists now.
Chen Lun thought that after the players arrived, he could use this secondary profession to copy a lot of extraordinary knowledge and sell... to help.
But you know what it means to pay for knowledge.
Only in this way can we cultivate players' respect for knowledge, encourage them to study hard, and understand the lofty truth that knowledge can change destiny.
Chen Lun was deeply touched by his good intentions.
He said that he would charge higher fees at that time to let them experience the weight of knowledge.
I believe that money is nothing compared to freedom.
Chen Lun directly spent nearly 3,000 experience points to upgrade this secondary profession [Recorder] to the maximum level.
I spent another 4 skill points to max out [Copying LV1].
[Copy LVMAX] provides an additional memory function, which can imprint the acquired extraordinary sequence knowledge in the mind. The original book is no longer needed, and transcription can also be performed.
[Sub-professional level increased, you feel your body has been strengthened, upper limit of life +20, upper limit of physical strength +10, upper limit of sanity +2, intelligence +4, faith +2]
[You gained 9 skill points, 9 attribute points]
The total level has reached 30.
This is already the level cap for players in the public beta 1.0 version, but it is not Chen Lun's level cap.
Because he is not a stealth player.
"Now I only lack the extraordinary knowledge to advance to [Sequence 8]... There is no rush for this."
Chen Lun pondered, then silently said in his heart:
"panel."
