42: Chapter 42 Mo Yuemei Takes Office.

Over at the Chen Martial Arts Hall, two team members were severely injured, and the other members had also sustained minor injuries of varying degrees.

They were somewhat anxious, unsure whether to push forward or send the injured back to the camp for treatment.

Meanwhile, Captain Chen Sen was wondering why only the captain of the Changnan Interstellar Exploration Team had lured the wild boar herd, and why over 40 wild boars had been led over to attack them.

He had a vague suspicion that it was very likely the captain had done this on purpose, and that the other team members might have already run ahead of them to collect the meteorite.

Thinking of this, he didn't know what to say. Before, he had been scheming against others, and now others were scheming against him in return.

None of them were good people; the pot shouldn't call the kettle black.

Originally, he wanted to tell everyone about his suspicion.

However, thinking of that captain's terrifying speed and strength, he felt a bit uneasy.

Therefore, he had to swallow this bitter pill.

Captain Chen Sen sighed and made his final decision.

"Leave the four members with lighter injuries, and hurry to send these two who are more seriously injured back for treatment."

"The four of us will continue forward. It's impossible for us to suffer such heavy losses and come away with absolutely nothing this time."

"We cannot let everyone bleed, cry, and sweat in vain."

Upon hearing the captain's decision, the others felt it was a bit risky. If they encountered danger again, both groups could be wiped out.

However, they also thought about their heavy losses this time; if they still returned empty-handed, how could they answer to the others?

In the end, everyone nodded, effectively agreeing to the plan.

Those responsible for carrying the injured immediately began making stretchers.

After more than an hour of chasing, the Incarnation successfully caught up with the three members in front.

This time, they were lucky that the people from the Chen Martial Arts Hall had held back that large herd of wild boars.

Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to pass through this wild boar activity area to explore deeper.

When he saw that the three members were unharmed and appeared quite relaxed, he knew their trip had gone relatively smoothly.

"How did the operation go for everyone? Any gains?"

Liu Tingquan spoke first.

"Captain, Mo Yuemei just collected a meteorite."

"Hmm, as long as there are gains, that's good. Let's continue forward."

However, when the Incarnation looked at Mo Yuemei, he saw that she had an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating.

He knew she might have something on her mind; otherwise, she was usually very straightforward and rarely acted so hesitant.

"You two go ahead and clear the path; I'll have a chat with her."

"Understood."

After they had walked 20 meters away, Mo Yuemei finally made up her mind and said.

"Captain, are you also a Professional?"

"Hmm?"

"You've completed your job change."

"How did you know?"

"I guessed it from your demeanor and the unnatural look on your face when Liu Tingquan mentioned the meteorite just now."

"Now that you can ask this question, I know you've completed your job change."

Mo Yuemei was a bit annoyed at herself for being unable to hide things and for acting so spineless, rubbing her heroic-looking face.

"Hehe, Captain, you are truly wise and mighty!"

"Don't give me that lip. Tell me instead, how did you end up exposing yourself?"

She sighed a little, then said with some anticipation.

"Captain, right after I completed my job change, I initially thought I was the heroine of some novel."

"But then I thought about how there are so many job-change stones, those Mutant creatures, and all your incredible displays earlier. I realized that Professionals like us are not few in number."

"Heh, so you've read quite a few novels?"

Mo Yuemei felt a bit shy about revealing her inner thoughts and quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, Captain, answer my previous question first."

"Ahem, I am indeed also a Professional."

Immediately, the Incarnation looked straight at her seriously.

"Now that you are a Professional, I am officially extending an invitation to you."

Seeing the Incarnation with such an expression, she also became serious for a moment.

"Ms. Mo Yuemei, join the Exploration Team affiliated with Changnan Interstellar."

"Don't be in a hurry to answer. You have time to think about whether you want to join during the duration of our mission."

"During this time, I can also explain the current situation of Professionals, the country's attitude towards us, and the benefits our company offers to Professionals."

Seeing that the captain was not in a rush, Mo Yuemei didn't rush to answer either.

"Okay."

"Then, Captain, tell me just how strong Professionals are right now!"

...

"Ah, I thought that after getting these professions, I would definitely be kicking tigers and punching black bears; with Heaven as number one, Earth as number two, and me as number three."

She said with a bit of disappointment.

"Heh, in your dreams."

"Perhaps the few strongest people might have the ability to compete, but the chances of winning are slim."

"Looking at the current development trend of the whole world, major countries and organizations basically train Professionals towards becoming scientists, senior engineers, and so on."

"For large national powers, the cost-effectiveness of training individual combat power is simply too low."

She hadn't thought about it before, but now she realized it made sense.

For athletes like them, wanting to train to a world-class level basically takes over a decade. And that's if they have talent; what about those without?

Even with the Professional bonus, which greatly accelerates growth time.

However, the limits of the human body are right there. Without any extraordinary energy, how difficult it is to break through.

"So, if you want to join the official government side, you will basically only be trained in the direction of scientific research talent."

"But our company will choose based on your personal wishes, allowing you to choose between scientific research and personal capability."

"Then, Captain, how many Professionals does our company have?"

"Just one, which is me. Don't look at how it seems like we both appeared as Professionals all of a sudden."

"Actually, there are probably only a few thousand Professionals in the whole world; one could say they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns."

"Therefore, generally speaking, after one's Professional identity is verified, one will basically be invited by the state to enter scientific research institutions for training. The treatment and training support are not comparable to what current private forces can offer."

"At present, if some operating group companies or research institutes have one or two Professionals, they consider themselves very lucky."

"During this period, think clearly about what direction you want to develop in."

In fact, for someone like Mo Yuemei, who had been training in various forms of archery since she was young, she could basically only develop in the direction of a combat-type profession.

After all, high-level professions like scientists and Astronomers have relatively high requirements for knowledge mastery and the Spirit attribute.

Mo Yuemei's personality doesn't quite fit that either.
