When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 270 - 113 Unlock Advanced Profession, Bai Fu’s Ultimate Sublimation! [1/2]
Above the Stars, the promotion from advanced profession to a more senior profession far exceeded the magnitude of the first profession transferring.
The first profession transferring was akin to taking the player from a humble village soaked in sweat into the glamorous world, directly witnessing the limitless potential of superpower users.
And the second profession transferring, well, it would be more apt to call it "Awakening."
To achieve this Awakening, players must first accumulate a massive amount of Experience and a wealth of Profession Knowledge. After these preparations, they also have to undergo the game's task challenges, and only by overcoming these eighty-one difficulties can they truly attain the "advanced profession" path.
You reap what you sow; after making all these preliminary preparations, the imminent advancement was bound to be much greater than the first profession transferring—if not, the players might as well go shoulder to shoulder with the planners' horses and the sun.
Bai Fu, filled with anticipation, invested all the newly gained Experience into the Apprentice Spiritual Artist.
"You have unlocked the new profession [Spiritual Artist], current level Lv1, Constitution +1, Intelligence +1, Inspiration +4, attribute points +4."
"You have completed the second profession transferring, each point of Constitution now increases Life Value by +5, Spiritual Ability Value by +5."
The moment the Apprentice Spiritual Artist transformed into the Spiritual Artist, Bai Fu felt a sudden surge of new power within her body.
It was invisible to the naked eye, but she could genuinely perceive a significant enhancement, which reminded her of the changes when she successfully absorbed the "Evolution Blood" Template. Under the cleansing of Spiritual Ability, her life level seemed to have officially embarked on the path of evolution.
Was this the reason why unlocking advanced professions was so challenging?
Rising one level as an Apprentice Spiritual Artist provided her six attribute points, whereas advancing one level as a Spiritual Artist now provided her ten attribute points, and both had started to actively increase Constitution.
Additionally, her conversion rate from Constitution to Life Value had now increased to 1:25, and her conversion rate for Spiritual Ability Value had also risen to 1:15.
The increase in conversion rates led to a direct spike in her Life Value and Spiritual Ability Value. Since the Spiritual Ability Value exceeded 1500, the third-stage enhancement from the Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain was triggered, raising her attributes further.
Bai Fu hurriedly opened the panel to check her attributes.
"Life Value": 2680/2680
"Spiritual Ability Value": 1970/1970
"Qi": 160/160
"Attributes": Power 29, Agility 35, Constitution 98, Intelligence 35, Spirit 32, Inspiration 128
Compared to before leveling up, Life Value had increased by more than 600 and Spiritual Ability Value had almost surged by 700—a rocket-like boost indeed, and with the new talent "Spiritual Ability Worship" and its healing effect, she was directly able to crush opponents to tears!
Bai Fu closed her eyes. Even without using the Spiritual Ability Perception skill, she could sense the dust in the air, the movement of people next to her, and the curious gaze suddenly cast by Su Li.
These were the benefits brought about by increased Inspiration and Spirit attributes.
On further sensing, she even noticed some subtle changes in her body; every inch of her skin had become whiter and smoother, each muscle stronger, and even her chest seemed to have become firmer—she needed to check properly when she got back.
"Steady!"
Even without considering the other changes brought by this profession transferring, the enhancement in attributes alone greatly boosted Bai Fu's confidence.
What lousy fierce beast turned mutant, 2500 Life Points is impressive? I now have 2680. If we fight again, I won't need Black Fu's help; I can beat you by myself!
Confidentfull, Bai Fu also felt fortunate about her prior judgment.
It was a good thing she was very cautious and had not foolishly gone to challenge the Truth Society Chairman herself; otherwise, the attribute bonus brought by the advanced profession could have easily let the Truth Society Chairman crush her with ease.
Bai Fu closed the attribute panel and opened other game notifications that appeared after the profession transferring.
After transferring to the [Spiritual Artist], several of her skills had been correspondingly enhanced.
"Intermediate Spiritual Ability Specialization" upgraded to "Advanced Spiritual Ability Specialization": Spiritual Ability knowledge learning efficiency and active skill (Spiritual Ability) effects +30%
"Basic Spiritual Ability Resilience" upgraded to "Intermediate Spiritual Ability Resilience": When attacked, gain +5 Inspiration judgment, Spiritual Ability Resistance +10%
"Spiritual Ability Shield" upgraded to "Spiritual Ability Protection": Consumes Spiritual Ability Value to form a full-body shield (Spiritual Ability Value *2), a single shield's maximum value is 3000, can be used on other targets, duration 5 minutes, cooldown 12 seconds.
The first two enhancements were within expectations, but the upgrade of the Spiritual Ability Shield was an exact match for Bai Fu's needs.
The skill effect had basically not changed, but now this shield could not only be used for herself but also for others, instantly enhancing its practicality significantly, making it even better to sell to players as Prayer Cards.
Besides, Bai Fu had also unlocked two new passive skills and one auxiliary skill.
The two passive skills were—
"Spirit Skillful (Spiritual Ability)": Efficiency of making Prayer Cards +30%
[Basic Level Prayer Enhancement Lv1]: The effect of your prayer cards increases by 10%.
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
This significantly boosted her card-making speed, thus increasing the speed at which she earned money and experience through creating cards.
The latter improvement was even more crucial. Using prayer cards fell under using items, not skills, thus it did not enjoy the bonuses of some skills she had previously mastered. This new passive ability made everything better.
The output of a Little Bai Fu increased by 10%, and ten Little Bai Fus exploding together would be equivalent to one extra Little Bain Fu exploding more than before.
If this passive skill's level were raised, the output bonus would be even greater.
The new auxiliary skill obtained was—
[Dispel Lv1]: Consumes 30 points of Spiritual Energy, dispels one regular buff or debuff on a designated target, cooldown time 10 seconds.
This skill was quite useful. It could be used to dispel buffs that increase Power or Agility on an opponent or to dispel accidental debuffs like burning, potentially saving lives if timed right.
Compared to these improvements, Bai Fu preferred the last prompt even more.
[You have comprehended the skill [Dark Burning Lv1]]
[Dark Burning Lv1]: Consumes 10% of your Spiritual Ability Value and 10% of your Life Value, forcibly converts Spiritual Ability Attribute to [Dark], strikes the target three times continuously. Each strike inflicts (Inspiration * 1) points of Spiritual Ability damage to the target. Based on the difference in Inspiration between the two parties, it causes a reduction of 0% to 10% in All Attributes of the target, lasting for 10 minutes, skill cooldown time 10 minutes.
(Note: The Dark Attribute of Spiritual Energy will cause certain erosion to the body, thus it cannot be used consecutively).
This was an active skill, meaning it could get a 130% bonus when calculating damage. With Bai Fu's current Basic Inspiration Attribute, three strikes would inflict 883 points of primary damage without calculating damage reduction. If the effects of Otherworldly Erosion were added...
Bai Fu quickly made some calculations. Assuming the opponent's Life Value was 3000 points, and considering the full impact of three strikes of Dark Burning, the subsequent two additional Spiritual Ability attacks, and the complete damage from Otherworldly Erosion, she could inflict over 1400 damage on this opponent in a few seconds.
Of course, this was the primary damage without calculating various damage reductions; in reality, the damage wouldn't be this high, but this skill, combined with the explosion of Otherworldly Erosion, could also reduce the target's attributes and Resistance. When fighting those targets who had low Spiritual Ability Resistance and lacked enough damage-reducing traits, it was virtually a Divine Skill.
"Although the cooldown is long, and it can likely only be used once in a battle, that's completely enough. High-level confrontations usually last only a few minutes to determine the outcome. A battle lasting over ten minutes would require both parties to have extremely high Constitution tank characters."
Bai Fu felt great.
With Dark Burning, she now had a powerful move that established a gap between her and typical superpower users at the time of unlocking Advanced Professions.
"Our area boss is just like that. Without some level of skill, how can anyone dare to be the area boss?"
Bai Fu believed if she could further boost the Skill Levels that hadn't been fully upgraded and the Level of her [Moon Dancer] profession, her power could increase several folds. The next time the developers decided to enhance her abilities, her position could shift from the Goli Desert area boss to the world boss of the Ancestral Origin Star.
Experience grinding, she must ruthlessly grind for experience!
She already anticipated that due to her involvement, the plot on Ancestral Origin Star had accelerated significantly. By the time other players from Newbie Planets were still panting through their main tasks and exploring the secrets of their planets, the major forces on Ancestral Origin Star would have already commenced a full-scale battle, and both the main characters and the world bosses would begin to make their appearances.
To prepare for this situation, she needed to quickly boost her strength, partly to protect herself, but also because only by becoming stronger could she take a bigger share in the upcoming grand confrontations.
Just as Bai Fu excitedly turned off all game notifications, Su Li had already walked up to her.
"You... are you alright? Why did you suddenly stop moving like that?"
Su Li stared at Bai Fu with a puzzled expression.
In reality, since entering the lab, Bai Fu had never left her sight, but she now felt as if Bai Fu had been replaced by something else.
Not exactly replaced, but just in those few short seconds, she suddenly felt like Bai Fu had become more dimensional.
This three-dimensionality manifested itself when she used her Qi to sense Bai Fu's presence, Bai Fu seemed to suddenly transform from a young girl into an alluring and mature big sister, dazzlingly scary.
Can someone really change this instantly?
She couldn't help but want to reach out and try, yet there was an inexplicable fear in the depths of her heart.
"I couldn't possibly have any issues," Bai Fu's face carried a warm, spring-like smile, "Come on, stop standing here like a dunce. Let's look around, maybe we can find some important intel that the Truth Society didn't manage to destroy."
Su Li nodded, that made sense.
Though destroying one of the Truth Society's secret labs was already a great accomplishment, who wouldn't like to achieve even greater feats?
The two ventured deeper into the lab. Like the outside, it was a broken mess with not a single intact device, only a Mutant standing there blankly. Beixim from the Old Republic and Ding Hongtao from the Human Alliance were interrogating him, but he was tight-lipped, preferring death to betrayal until Bai Fu appeared.
"The Chairman wants to talk to you. This is a temporary terminal contact number he left behind."
The Mutant recited a string of numbers, and after speaking, his eyes dimmed suddenly, he collapsed to the ground lifelessly.
In an instant, everyone's gaze converged on Bai Fu.
