15: The mutation continues!

The whimpering of the wolf pack continued.

They watched with predatory eyes.

But the group of people who were their targets were just wandering around.

More specifically, Ye Su was harvesting light orbs.

The brief unpleasantness earlier was just an interlude.

The role played by the Liaison Officer system at this moment made Ye Su realize that the higher-ups had arranged it this way to prevent internal friction among Professionals.

After all, at this stage...

Those who could undergo Awakening as Professionals were all blessed with Luck.

Otherwise, why would they be the ones to awaken and not you?

Sometimes you have to admit that Luck is also a part of one's strength.

Ignoring the whimpering of the wolf pack, Ye Su continued toward the next light orb.

Everything went smoothly.

The cunning of the wolves was real, but it seemed they hadn't truly developed intelligence yet.

They didn't understand that Ye Su was becoming stronger.

Otherwise, they would have either rushed out for a kill or simply left.

After all, in the face of a continuously strengthening Ye Su, their threat level was plummeting.

Soon.

The next light orb was obtained.

A burst of radiance erupted.

A small wooden chest appeared in his hand.

'If it's Spirit Medicine, Martial Arts, or weapons, I can use them all.'

'If it's another skill, I'll have to let others have it cheap.'

Ye Su thought to himself.

After all, this was a mystery box; no one knew what would come out of it.

Other things were fine, but if it was a skill—the chest opened.

A red jade tablet emerged.

Damn.

It really is a skill!

Ye Su hesitated.

Seeing this hesitation, Li Qing reacted instantly.

Professionals in the Early Stage could only equip two skills, yet Ye Su wasn't using this one.

That proved his skill slots were full.

To use it by force, he would have to give up one of his existing skills.

This was an opportunity.

Li Qing pulled Black Tiger forward.

"Ye Su, money, Special privileges, or establishing a closer relationship with me—take your pick."

Smart people didn't need any other nonsense.

As soon as Li Qing spoke, Ye Su knew he had guessed his situation.

This kind of trade was very reasonable.

But—a bitter smile appeared on Ye Su's face.

Once the skill was revealed, it was naturally unsuitable for Black Tiger.

[Rain Bath Technique]

[Compatibility: All Classes (Usable by self)]

[Compatibility: Support Classes]

[Effect: Minor healing and removal of abnormal statuses.]

A healing skill, equivalent to purification.

Perhaps because Ye Su's skill slots were full.

This caused the skill to have some extra descriptions.

All Classes.

This illustrated the talent of Ye Su's own profession.

If someone else had opened the treasure chest, it likely would have dropped a skill suitable for their profession.

Mystery boxes, mystery boxes.

They would ultimately be suitable for the user.

Rather than being for random professions.

"Ye Su, I'm in a Melee class. If it suits me, name your price. Whether it's money or something else, I'll do my best to satisfy it."

"My surname is Zhao—from the Zhao family, the tycoons of the Suzhou and Hangzhou."

A thin young man wearing glasses with a glint in his eyes spoke quickly.

Ye Su didn't have much of an impression of him; he had been taciturn all along.

He hadn't expected that the second person to read the situation would be him.

And his family must truly have some clout.

Otherwise, how would he dare to compete with Li Qing for items?

Then.

Everyone began to speak up.

Whether they had realized it themselves or not, their Liaison Officers would remind them.

"According to current official information, how many major categories are professions divided into?" Ye Su looked at Li Qing.

"Six major categories," Li Qing said.

"Life, Melee, Ranged, Agility, Support, Special..."

"Special professions possess uniqueness—"

Snap!

Before Li Qing could finish, Ye Su directly crushed the jade tablet.

Then, he let it dissipate into the air.

Wasted.

"You!" Li Qing was stunned. A glint flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything further.

The others were even more bewildered.

Some even got the wrong idea, thinking Ye Su would rather let the skill vanish than trade it to them as a way to suppress them.

But they soon learned the situation from their Liaison Officers.

Ye Su.

Was almost certainly a Special profession.

The skills he obtained couldn't be used by others.

'My situation far exceeds a Special profession; it's more Special than Special.'

'Once a skill jade tablet flows out from my hands, everyone will know my profession has an all-around attribute.'

'Maybe I'm overthinking it; maybe if I gave the jade tablet to someone else, they wouldn't see that "all attributes" rule.'

'But I don't dare to gamble.'

'An ordinary man is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty!'

'Order hasn't collapsed yet, so it might not be apparent, but who knows what the future holds? I can't leave any hidden dangers for myself!'

'One skill—if it's wasted, it's wasted.'

Since receiving that letter from the future, Ye Su's psychological defenses had been built high.

He wouldn't allow anyone to probe for information about him from any clues.

Transcendence Master.

This profession was far too abnormal.

It might not be apparent in the Early Stage, but the further it went, the more terrifying its potential would become!

During the growth process.

Ye Su had to build countless moats to protect himself firmly.

A Genius who hasn't grown up isn't a Genius at all, but a piece of trash!

"For the next light orb, someone else will open it," Ye Su said.

"However, no matter what comes out, it belongs to me. If someone wants it, the price is negotiable."

Everyone nodded.

The way they looked at Ye Su had changed.

This guy was a Special profession.

From what Li Qing implied, it seemed that Special professions were unique.

No wonder he was so strong!

Now, no one was dissatisfied with Ye Su's terms.

The strong making the rules—a prototype of this was already forming.

The group continued.

Right under the gaze of those glowing green eyes.

The wolf pack was also foolish; if they let things drag on like this, Ye Su's group would only get stronger and stronger.

Unfortunately, they hadn't developed intelligence comparable to humans.

They still acted according to instinct.

Soon.

The third light orb.

This light orb was opened by Black Tiger.

Li Qing carried more weight in Ye Su's eyes.

What came out was a scroll.

This made everyone incredibly envious.

It was actually a profession scroll.

Good heavens.

Black Tiger didn't have a profession yet.

No wonder.

Looking at the expressions in everyone's eyes.

Ye Su could roughly see that among this group of Professionals, the only other one who already had a profession was that pure and naive Mo Xiaoyu.

She was really hiding her strength.

"A Melee class, Greatshield Bearer!"

"And it even comes with a talent skill!"

"Hehehe—"

Black Tiger's grin was so wide it almost reached his ears.

This profession suited his identity perfectly.

"Ye Su, thanks."

He said to Ye Su.

Then Li Qing added.

"I'll make it worth your while on my end."

Li Hu was from the military, but he also belonged to this team of his.

He would pay the price, and he could afford it.

Ye Su nodded.

This profession scroll would net him a lot of benefits from Li Qing.

Maintaining a relationship with a top scholar from the Research Institute would definitely not be a loss.

"Well then, next one."

Ye Su smiled.

The harvest this time was quite substantial.

This area was truly a blessed place.

There were two more light orbs visible to the naked eye.

After walking a few steps.

Ye Su suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His sudden stop immediately made the whole team tense up.

"I say, where are the wolves?"

Ye Su said suddenly.

He felt something was off; it turned out those glowing green eyes had suddenly disappeared.

Li Qing's thoughts raced.

He suddenly looked down.

He even bent down to touch the blades of grass beneath his feet.

He brushed his hand across them.

His skin was instantly sliced open.

Without anyone noticing, the blades of grass on the ground had become as sharp as knives.

In an instant.

His expression changed drastically!

The mutation of the plants was still continuing!
