7: Career evolution mission, the source of all things!

“Ding! The unique profession evolution quest—‘Source of All Things’—has been activated!”

This notification made Lin Feng’s recently calmed heart stir with excitement once more.

It’s here!

The moment he had most anticipated since his transmigration had finally arrived!

He immediately opened his quest panel to carefully examine this so-called “unique profession evolution quest.”

On the quest panel, a brand-new quest, glowing with golden light, appeared at the very top, looking exceptionally distinct.

“Unique Profession Evolution Quest: Source of All Things (First Stage)”

“Quest Description: All great power originates from the smallest beginnings. As a future ‘God-level Summoner,’ you need to understand the essence of all things. Please collect the ‘source crystals’ of the following three basic elements to prove your initial understanding of power.”

“Quest Objective 1: Collect ‘earth source crystal’ x1 (0/1)”

“Quest Objective 2: Collect ‘water source crystal’ x1 (0/1)”

“Quest Objective 3: Collect ‘wood source crystal’ x1 (0/1)”

“Quest Reward: Profession evolution, unknown talent awakening, massive experience points.”

“Quest Hint: The three source crystals are hidden deep within the three Level 5 instances: ‘Goblin Mine,’ ‘Shallow Water Lake,’ and ‘Misty Forest.’”

Looking at the description on the quest panel, Lin Feng’s heart rate couldn’t help but quicken a few beats.

God-level Summoner!

Just these five words made his blood boil.

The system had directly defined his future!

Moreover, in the quest rewards, besides profession evolution and massive experience points, there was even an “unknown talent awakening”!

He already possessed an SSS-rank God-level Hint talent; if he gained another talent… it was simply unimaginable!

However, he also noticed the difficulty of the quest.

Goblin Mine, Shallow Water Lake, Misty Forest.

These were all Level 5 instances.

With his current Level 3, attempting to solo them would be quite challenging.

“No rush, take it slow.”

Lin Feng knew very well that haste makes waste.

You have to eat your meal one bite at a time, and level up one level at a time.

What he needed to do most now was to first raise his own level and strength.

At the very least, he needed to reach Level 5 and equip better gear before he would have the confidence to challenge those Level 5 instances.

Thinking this, Lin Feng closed the quest panel.

He glanced at his surroundings.

Since the Slime King was defeated, this hidden space seemed to have become unstable, and the distant scenery began to blur and distort.

It seemed it was time to leave here.

He opened the instance panel and selected “Leave Instance.”

With a flash of white light, the next second, Lin Feng’s figure reappeared beside the Novice Trial Instance portal in the Professionals Hall.

“Student, you’re out.”

The middle-aged uncle guarding the door greeted him with a smile.

“Oh?”

The uncle suddenly let out a soft exclamation, his gaze scanning Lin Feng with a hint of surprise.

“Student, your… your equipment is?”

He clearly remembered that when this young man entered, he was wearing tattered white-grade cloth armor and carrying a novice wooden staff.

How much time had passed?

Ten-odd minutes? Twenty minutes?

When he came out, not only had his level changed from 0 to 3, but his equipment had also undergone a complete overhaul, now sporting a set of bronze-glowing gear!

Especially that bouncy top, it was clearly not an ordinary item.

“Good luck, I defeated a small Boss inside,” Lin Feng casually offered an excuse, smiling.

“Small Boss?”

The middle-aged uncle was even more surprised.

There was a Boss in the Novice Trial Instance?

He had worked here for over a decade and had never heard of it!

However, everyone’s experiences were different; perhaps this kid had incredible luck and triggered some one-in-a-million hidden event.

Thinking this, the uncle’s gaze towards Lin Feng changed from pity to envy.

“Young man, you’re quite lucky! Keep up the good work; your future is promising!”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

Lin Feng responded politely, then turned and left.

He didn’t linger in the hall but walked directly out of it.

After all the recent commotion, his mana was almost depleted, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

He needed to find a place to rest properly and plan his next leveling route.

Stepping out of the Professionals Hall, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

The city’s neon lights flickered on one by one, adorning the entire Jianghai City like a dreamland.

Lin Feng walked on the bustling street, observing the hurried ordinary people around him, a feeling of being in a different world rising in his heart.

Just an hour ago, he was a Summoner with a bleak future, ridiculed by others as a good-for-nothing.

Now, he was a potential stock with an SSS-rank talent, Level 3, clad in a bronze set, and holding over thirty thousand in cash.

This transformation was simply too fast, too dreamlike.

He found a ramen shop that looked clean and walked inside.

“Boss, one extra-large bowl of beef ramen, with extra meat!”

Lin Feng declared grandly.

Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to eat the best!

Soon, a steaming, fragrant bowl of ramen was served.

Lin Feng picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

The warm food settled in his stomach, dispelling his body’s fatigue and gradually calming his heart, which had been a little lightheaded from excessive excitement.

After eating his fill, he finally had time to carefully study his newly acquired skill.

“Summon Slime!”

With a thought, he consumed a bit of mana.

A fist-sized, transparent, somewhat adorable Little Slime appeared out of thin air on the empty seat beside him.

The Little Slime wiggled its body, curiously observing this new world.

As Lin Feng watched it, a line of golden text, the God-level Hint, timely appeared before his eyes.

“God-level Hint: Your summon, ‘Slime,’ can evolve in different directions by devouring various materials. For example, devouring ‘flame stone’ has a chance to evolve into a ‘Fire Elemental Slime’; devouring ‘poisonous grass’ has a chance to evolve into a ‘Poison Slime’…”
