BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15: Staff Bearer
“F*ck! What’s the situation?” Seeing the resplendent golden light, Su Mo was simply dumbfounded.
“I just casually drew ten consecutive draws, why would I strike gold? Didn’t I just get the guaranteed gold item?” For a moment, Su Mo suspected that there was something wrong with his memory.
However, the golden light was real and did not turn purple because of his suspicion.
Soon, under the endless light, the results of the lottery were displayed on the interface.
[Cultivation EXP book] x5
[Skill EXP book] x2
[Skill: Storm Sword]
[Skill: Blood Coagulation Sword]
[Profession: Staff Bearer]
Seeing the gold profession card, Su Mo was just confused.
The staff bearer?
Wasn’t there something wrong with this profession?
Wasn’t this a f*cking monk?
This was probably the case just from the analysis of the profession’s name.
At the very least, out of the 12 official professions that Su Mo knew of, this was not one of them.
In other words, the staff bearer was the same as Xu Liushuang’s light-flame warlock, such that both were special professions.
It did not have a complete professional advancement path.
However, Su Mo was already mentally prepared for such an occurrence.
Compared to the vast number of special professions that couldn’t break past level 9, the number of professions that had complete paths was limited, so the probability of getting a complete profession was naturally low.
Rather, he should say that drawing the sword saint profession as the first gold item was simply an explosion of luck.
Under normal circumstances, there should be a higher probability of getting a special profession.
“I wonder what’s the upper limit of the staff bearer profession. If it’s like level 7, I can barely accept it, but if it’s only level three or even level two, then it’ll just be a rabbit hole. That being said, even if the upper limit is only level one, I still have to take up the profession. It’s worth it just from the fact that I’ll get a new ability if I do it. At most, I’ll just put it aside and not invest any resources in it,” Su Mo did not hesitate and fused with the staff bearer profession book.
In an instant, he had many more insights about the profession in his mind.
His body was further strengthened, and there were slight changes to his physique. He became more muscly and powerful.
“It seems that the physical fitness of a multi-profession Transcendent is much stronger than that of a single-profession Transcendent at the same level,” Su Mo waved his fist and felt a powerful force surge through his body.
The strengthening degree that this profession had brought him was even greater than when he had obtained the sword saint profession.
This was mainly because the staff bearer was a melee profession that would normally use a staff to fight.
The staff was not used for casting spells but instead used to knock on people’s heads and send them to the afterlife.
It was extremely brutal.
The ability he awakened when he fused with the profession was called the eye of truth.
The ability allowed him to break illusions and see reality, with an effective range of 20 meters.
For other Transcendents, this skill was quite useful, but to him, it seemed a little useless.
After all, he now had the game interface and could see the attributes of everything. Furthermore, the scope of the interface was the scope of his field of vision.
He could even see more in-depth information by touching the target up close.
The eye of truth was simply crushed in comparison.
“Forget it, let’s look at the remaining two skills,” Su Mo focused his attention on the two purple skill books.
The cards drawn this time were really amazing.
Not only did he get a new profession, but he also got two new skills.
The storm sword was an explosive-type skill. Once cast, the sword attacks would be like raindrops, allowing him to stab 100 times in three seconds. On average, it was 33.3 attacks per second, which made it useful for cleaning up the small fries and attacking fortifications.
On the other hand, the blood coagulation sword was different from the sword condensation technique. The latter was used to condense waves of sword energy for continuous battle and could be used frequently. In contrast, the former condensed one’s into a blood sword to attack at close range. As such, this was a move that would hurt both himself and others. With the amount of blood one had, one couldn’t even use this ability many times. It was basically a trump card, and unless he was at the end of his rope, Su Mo would not even consider it.
In addition to the two skills, he also drew five cultivation EXP books and two skill EXP books.
Su Mo threw all of the cultivation EXP books into the sword saint profession, and not even one into the staff bearer profession.
Yes, he was just that biased.
As for the skill EXP books, he used them on finger sword, making the EXP bar reach one-tenth.
After dealing with all of this, Su Mo opened the game interface.
[Profession: Level 1 Sword Saint (30%), Level 1 Stagg Bearer]
[Abilities: Sword Condensation Technique Level 1 (30%), Instant Sword Level 1 (30%), Sword Energy Slash Level 1 (30%), Finger Sword Level 1 (10%), Storm Sword Level 1, Blood Condensation Sword Level 1, Eye of Truth Level 1]
In the brackets were the respective EXP bar progress of his skills and professions.
Looking at the stats, Su Mo could not help but feel smug.
With dual professions and seven skills, he was simply inhumane.
Even some veteran level-1 Transcendents would not be able to beat him.
“However, compared to Sister Qingwu and Captain Zhang, there is still a big gap. I must not be arrogant and rash, and strive to catch up as soon as possible!”
Su Mo closed the panel and thought about it. He felt that he needed to gain a deeper understanding of the staff bearer profession.
He turned on the cell phone that the Bureau had given him.
There was a forum APP on the phone that was developed by the officials for the Transcendents to communicate.
After entering his officially verified identity, he randomly entered an ID “Three Gold for Sacrificing Teammates”, and logged in after successfully registering.
The main page was simple and was divided into three areas: The exchange area, the bounty area, and the communication area.
After entering the exchange area, it was divided into the official exchange and private exchange.
The official exchange had resources issued by the official organizations while the private exchange had materials issued by private individuals.
All items could only be exchanged with points.
These points were undoubtedly the official points.
In addition, he also saw a special exchange list: Merit exchange.
This was an exchange sequence that was only open to the internal members of the official forum. Other ordinary Transcendents who were also registered on the forum could not see it.
In the merit exchange list, Su Mo immediately saw the lightless sword.
The introduction to it was simple, with only eight words: Anything below level 7 can be cut.
He didn’t have enough authority to see the details for the time being, but these words alone were enough to make him fantasize.
“It’s indeed difficult to get first-class merit, but it’s not impossible to get third-class merit. I don’t believe that I can’t gather a hundred third-class merits!”
Su Mo returned to the main interface and entered the bounty area.
The bounty area was much more fun since it was densely packed with all kinds of things.
[A level four beast-tamer is needed to kill a tiger demon in Lincang District. The reward is a secret weapon!]
[300 points for a Berserker profession abilities paradigms!]
[1000 points. Asking for help from a level 3 healer to treat my daughter.]
[3000000 to buy a standard enchanted sword for the sword saint profession.]
…
There were all sorts of bounties, and Su Mo was dazzled by them.
Other than those in the city, there were those located in other cities and even other provinces.
In comparison, official bounties were few and many were from civilian Transcendents.
Furthermore, Su Mo was keenly aware of the plight of the civilian Transcendents.
For example, the Berserker profession abilities paradigms.
As long as one successfully transitioned into a new profession and joined the official organization, one could receive five profession paradigms for free. As for the remaining profession paradigms, they could be exchanged with 100 points each. However, civilian Transcendents had to spend three times the price.
In addition, for example, to think someone had offered a price of 3 million to buy the enchanted sword that he had received for free when he first joined the Bureau.
One sword was worth a mansion.
The benefits provided by the officials were really good.
Fortunately, he had managed to cling to the experts right from the start.
Su Mo sighed with emotion as he exited the bounty area and entered the communication area.
The popularity of the communication zone was more than ten times that of the other two areas combined.
Every time he refreshed the page, the posts on the timeline would change.
Most of them were just ordinary chat posts though.
On the right was a special red division area for the important posts.
The important posts were mostly practical ones, either a detailed discussion of one’s experiences or sharing of one’s insights.
Many of them were very suitable for a noob like him.
However, Su Mo did not forget his goal of opening the forum.
He started to search for information related to the staff bearer.
There were a few posts that required points to view.
He finished reading all the free posts and had a basic understanding of the profession.
“The staff bearer is a special profession, and the highest level it can currently reach is level 6. It is good at close combat and ferrying evil spirits, abilities that overlap with the berserker and warlock. At present, 39 abilities of the profession have been compiled and recorded. Among them, 10 can be awakened at Level 1, and there are 13 paradigms. Among them, the official organization has only mastered eight, while Hezhong Temple has the complete 13 paradigms.”
“Hezhong Templ isn’t a real temple, but a mutual aid organization of the staff bearers. It belongs to the Transcendent Professions Alliance and is under official jurisdiction. It is an officially certified organization. The Transcendent Professions Alliance has a branch in Tianmu City’s garrison building where there is a contact point for Hehuan Temple.”
The garrison building, huh?
Su Mo’s gaze focused, and he suddenly thought of Xu Liushuang’s request.
The other party asked him to go to the garrison building when he was free and register his identity at the sword saint mutual aid organization. This would be beneficial for him to make a few more friends and learn from the cultivation experience of his seniors.
When he heard that there was a reward for registering, it seemed that he had to go and see what it was like tomorrow.
