From the receptionist "Moli" at the adventurer association, he learned that the destination of his professional advancent quest is most likely in the large city of "Neum" near River Valley Town.
Xia Nan thought about whether he could gather so information related to this from various channels.
After all, before this, his entire understanding of "Neum" was limited to superficial impressions like "prosperous," "comrcially developed," and "the residence of the Half Elf Hai’an."
So when he ran into Adeline at the tavern earlier, he ntioned it in passing.
It’s just a pity that in these years of seeking revenge, she has mostly stayed in River Valley Town and Mist Forest.
If you asked her about goblin traits and hunting thods, she could talk non-stop all night.
But knowledge unrelated to that, she wouldn’t know much more than himself.
"Neum, huh..." Abi sighed along with the topic, "I’ve heard that every house there is built as grand and magnificent as Kalanfor’s Sun God Church."
"Exaggerated, at most only a few core streets in the city center are probably well planned."
Adeline shook her head, with a subtle smile on her face.
"However, Amanata’s church, should also be within the half of the city that was destroyed back then, right?"
"Saying it like that isn’t very auspicious."
"What do you an?" Abi stretched his neck, retorting obstinately in a classically defiant manner, "Neum is not like Kalanfor, a small village that can barely develop by sucking the blood of River Valley Town."
"It’s a proper big city!"
"The proportion of adventurers inside might be small, but there are plenty of large organizations like churches."
"Just like the druid at the top of the task board you showed before, just for dirtying so water, he’s got such a large bounty on his head."
"I don’t believe anyone dares to cause trouble in a place like that!"
Seeing Abi’s cheeks redden as he argued with Adeline, it seed he was a bit drunk.
Xia Nan no longer participated in their conversation.
He scooped another two ladles of mushroom soup, pondering whether to allocate more ti to [Teeth Hunting] in training later, striving to reach its full level of lv5 soon.
Or to continue developing the skill usage of [Gravity Control], at least to be able to... in battles
"Creak."
The icy cold wind of the autumn evening roared into the tavern through the door gap.
Two figures, one thin and one sturdy, appeared at the tavern entrance.
Instinctively, his gaze looked over.
With just a glance, he imdiately looked away.
Indigo linen robe, wooden magic wand, an elegant appearance with an ageless look, red short hair, clad in heavy armor, expression resolute and stern.
Without a doubt, the ones entering the tavern at this mont were the team of advanced adventurers he had once encountered in the association hall.
It’s just that...
"Two of them are missing?"
He rembered when he t the others, there were also a half orc and a golden-haired elf with them.
Now, only the mage and the human warrior remained.
"Had they completed the task, dissolved the team, or was it because..."
He speculated in his mind.
Deep inside, Xia Nan couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation.
Previously, when he first t a few of them, he hadn’t acquired a professional level and was rely an ordinary low-level adventurer.
He knew they were likely powerful high-level professionals, but exactly how powerful and how much stronger they were than him, he couldn’t judge at all, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.
And now, with Xia Nan having filled in the last missing piece required for promotion using [Gravity Control], he truly beca the professional he once dread of.
Not to ntion anything else.
Just the two points of "Perception" attribute points gained upon his upgrade broke through his previous limits, clearly sensing the strength of the two individuals.
Hmm, very strong.
But not to the incomprehensible extent like Barbarian Fugang.
"I wonder if they’ve reached the transcendent level."
Fugang had once ntioned to him.
On the Aifala Continent, professionals are roughly divided into three levels:
lv1-10, lv11-20, lv21, and above.
The first level, "lv1-10," is where he currently stands, nothing more to say, it’s the starting phase for professionals, the base and middle-to-lower layer of the pyramid.
The latter two are respectively called "Transcendent" and "Legendary."
To so extent, if the heroes in the myths and epics told by minstrels truly existed, then their strength would be at these two levels.
Fugang didn’t explain the specific strength scope of "Transcendent" and "Legendary" powers to him in detail.
But just from the aftermath of the battle that almost destroyed Kalanfor at that ti, it was enough to prove the terror of powers at this level.
To say they are mobile "human calamities" wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Thinking about this, even as realistic as Xia Nan was in daily life, he couldn’t help but indulge in so fantasies.
If he could reach this level in the future.
Regardless of anything else, just based on [Gravity Control] alone, if he trained it to skill level lv3, or even lv5, it should produce the sa effect.
After all, it’s one of the four fundantal forces of nature. If he could truly develop it, let alone a town smaller than the fifth or sixth-tier small counties of his previous world, he could aim even higher...
Xia Nan shook his head vigorously.
The crystalline wine liquid reflected his youthful face, the pathetic "1" on the skill progress bar of [Gravity Control] on the attribute panel snapped him back to reality.
As the foundation of everything, the premise of all fantasies.
Transcendent or Legendary, it doesn’t matter.
First, what he needs to know is:
—How to level up.
Yes, even until five days after becoming a professional, Xia Nan still hadn’t figured out how to improve his professional level.
Though he had an attribute panel similar to a ga from his previous life, there was no accompanying experience point system.
Defeating demons, apart from increasing his combat experience and honing his battle skill proficiency, provided no other direct gains in combat power.
The profession slot [Fallen Blade Hunting] lv1, didn’t even have a progress bar following it.
Though he heard Fugang ntion that professional level improvent is also related to battle skills, the specific relationship between the two was unknown to him.
And further along, getting into career transitions would be even more troubleso.
As ntioned earlier, the basic professions like "warrior" and "ranger" are widely popular across the continent precisely because of their versatility and clear advancent paths.
The conditions needed for advanced professions, whether they require auxiliary rituals, and what characteristics each possess... are all detailed and accurately recorded in profession books.
But his [Fallen Blade Hunting], though it seed very niche and under the support of [Gravity Control], appeared to have significant professional potential.
Regarding the path ahead and what preparations he needs to make, Xia Nan knew nothing.
He didn’t even know if anyone else in this world had the sa profession as him.
Considering the three battle skills required for advancent in [Fallen Blade Hunting] and the related specialty...
The possibility of that seed extrely low.
Thinking about this, Xia Nan couldn’t help but feel a contradictory sense of relief and frustration.
Relief from the excitent of accidentally triggering a hidden profession like in previous life gas, and fantasies about the profession’s future potential;
And frustration, stemming from the uncertainty of the road ahead, requiring him to explore his path across the river.
However, considering the second floor of the association open only to professionals and the [Adventurer’s Guide] previously purchased at the association’s entrance.
The association side should provide so guidance for a professional like him, who cos from a wild background.
On this point, during his afternoon communication with Moli, she had subtly ntioned this as well.
Thus, his urgent task at hand.
Is to head to Neum in five days and complete the task assigned by the association.
Then go up to the second floor and figure out how to upgrade his profession.
Preferably, also gather so intelligence on career transitions to prepare for future advancent paths.
