歪果仁漫画

Zheng Cheng was left with mixed feelings. He had finally obtained a study note that offered the opportunity to learn a variety of skills, only to be held back because he did not understand the Beastman language.

Professionals wanting to learn skills could generally choose from five directions.

The first one, is that they would automatically obtain a skill tree for their profession after awakening.

The skill tree would be arranged automatically, based on different professions, gender, and talents, displaying various professional skills.

Sometimes, even with the same star ranking and profession, different professional skills would develop due to certain reasons.

The second direction includes various skill books.

Each professional has four empty skill slots that can be filled by learning corresponding skills from skill books.

These skills could either be professional skills or universal skills.

For example, surveillance techniques, appraisal techniques, and other such skills are very popular universal skills that all professionals can learn.

The third direction involves following some strong professionals, learning and living with them, even engaging in deep communication.

It’s possible to comprehend certain skills while observing their abilities.

Just like… how doctoral advisors train their students.

The skills learned this way will also occupy empty skill slots.

The fourth direction is to learn from study notes that fall from powerful professionals or different races, these notes could be about magic, alchemy, sacrificial notations, etc.

The corresponding professionals can comprehend the respective skills from these notes.

This method is the most difficult of all.

Not only does studying notes require extraordinary perseverance, it also needs a strong talent.

Without a master or teacher to guide them, they can only sigh over these books.

The fifth direction involves some special means.

For instance, Song Chaoyu!

“Beastman Language…”

Zheng Cheng frowned and said, “According to Teacher Gao, Beastman language is one of the common languages in other worlds. But, we can only study it after we have passed the university admission exam for professionals.”

“If I want to understand this sacrificial notation now, I must find someone on the professionist’s dark web to translate it. Yet, I also have to worry about them deliberately messing up the translation.”

“If someone becomes greedy, the loss will be even bigger.”

“After all, it contains three buff class skills, and they are worth a lot…”

A thought suddenly struck Zheng Cheng: “No, I am with the Night Watch now. There must be someone at the bureau who understands the Beastman language. I just have to find someone from there.

“I guess, for a few contribution points, there will be many willing to translate this note for me.”

“Or perhaps, could this note be exchanged for contribution points?”

“But now I am not a formal member of the Night Watch, and Yunxiao is out on a mission. It is not easy to get this note translated in a short time.”

“In a few days, the joint college entrance examination for professionals will take place. If I can comprehend the skills from this note before the exam…”

This study note records three sacrificial skills; Berserk War Song, Agile War Song, and Stone Skin War Song.

The one he valued the most was the Berserk War Song.

It can greatly enhance strength, speed, and battle spirit. Moreover, it offers pain immunity, enabling the target to fight till their last breath.

Who knows what kind of special power it will produce after mutation?

“I need to get this note translated as soon as possible. Or…”

Zheng Cheng put away the note, glanced ahead and his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Yes! Li Jiao!”

“She said before that she had learned the Beastman language. I can ask her to translate for me.”

“These few people have a good character, come from a noble background, and are comrades in arms. They should not covet this study note.”

Thinking about this, Zheng Cheng quickly moved to Li Jiao’s side.

“Li Jiao, I have a question to ask.”

“Brother Zheng Cheng!”

Li Jiao’s eyes suddenly brightened as she spoke in a soft voice, “Didn’t we agree to call me Jiaojiao.”

“Uh… Jiaojiao, do you understand the Beastman language?”

“The Beastman language? Of course, I do.” Li Jiao nodded, “In addition to the Beastman language, I am also fluent in Elf language and have studied the Spirit Demon Clan’s language somewhat.”

“Can you understand the contents of this note?”

As he said this, Zheng Cheng handed over the [Study Notes of the Beastman Sacrifice].

“What is this?” Li Jiao’s eyes lit up when she took it, “[Study Notes of the Beastman Sacrifice]?”

“Did you get this as spoils from the Beastman sacrifice? This is a great find, Brother Zheng Cheng.”

“Oh! it’s such a pity, these are only low-level buff skills. I don’t want to waste my empty skill slots on those.”

Zheng Cheng asked, “Can you translate it?”

“Of course! Give me half a day… let me take a look first.”

With that, Li Jiao flipped through a few pages and her face suddenly took on a peculiar look.

After further careful reading, she seemed to get angry.

Zheng Cheng noticed Li Jiao’s odd behavior and curiously asked, “What’s wrong, Jiaojiao?”

Li Jiao closed the note and said, “In this note, in addition to recording three low-level Brilliant War songs, there are also some…diaries of a half-beastman girl named ‘Star Sand’.”

“Diary?”

“Yes.”

Li Jiao nodded, saying, “According to the diary, she, being a half-beastman, went to the Beastman Empire to study rituals and suffered many forms of discrimination and abuse from other ritual students.”

“In the Beastman Empire, half-beastmen are no more than slaves, cannon fodder. She endured much hardship in her attempt to learn the war song.”

“She even had an… arrangement… with her mentor so she could continue to remain there…”

“I understand.”

Zheng Cheng shook his head, “She had a hard life indeed. I guess for her, this could be a form of relief.”

Li Jiao added, ” Brother Zheng Cheng, I quickly scanned over the three War Songs.”

“They are not just written in the Beastman language, but also included some rare and tongue-twisting Elven and Behemoth languages. I need to check back with some materials to fully translate them.”

“At most… In two days, I will bring them back to you!”

Zheng Cheng said, “After we get out of the secret realm, we can connect as friends, you can send me the translated electronic version.”

“No.”

Li Jiao shook her head, “To comprehend a skill from studying written notes, it’s always best to read the original notes.”

“It’s impossible to comprehend a skill from an electronic version or a purely translated form of these notes.”

“Otherwise, if the country would just upload these translated versions online, wouldn’t it become possible for all Professionists to learn these formidable skills?”

Zheng Cheng gave it some thought and realized that she was right.

“Alright then, you can mail it to me when it’s ready …”

“I’ll personally deliver it.”

You should mail it. With the joint Professionals’ examination coming up, your family must have a lot on their plates.”

“Nothing is more important than you, Brother Zheng Cheng…”

“Hold on, aren’t you into Qin Zheng?”

“I used to have feelings for him, but from today on, I realized that you’re the type that I like…”

“Stop! Stop! STOP!”

Zheng Cheng quickly interrupted, “Let’s talk about this later.”

When dealing with Song Chaoyu, she often had confrontations with him due to the unique qualities of her Succubus profession.

He could face off with her in these confrontations, but she would never actually let him take advantage of her.

But Li Jiao was clearly smitten with him to the point where she might even want to take him by force.

That is a heap of trouble just waiting to happen when a woman who is a Professionist and comes from a prominent family might wish for.

Li Jiao pouted and asked, “So, Brother Zheng Cheng, which joint university for Professionists are you planning to sit the exam for?”

“The one in Beijing, I guess.”

Zheng Cheng casually replied, “The Professionist University in Beijing is the one with the strongest comprehensive capabilities in our country. There are also some matters I wish to investigate in Beijing.”

“Beijing?”

Li Jiao’s eyes gleamed slightly, “Then I’m going too!”

“My elder brother, as well as Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi, they are all heading to Beijing.”

“Our family has a tradition – every Professionist from the family needs to go the Alien battlefield for five years of training before they can return to the family.”

“Five years?” Zheng Cheng wondered aloud, “Isn’t it usually two years?”

“That’s for normal Professionists!” Li Jiao retorted proudly, “As Professionist families, we are the backbone of Blue Star against the Different Races. Every Professionist born within the family needs to serve five years in the Alien battlefield!”

“We even have a contract with the military. Some families permanently station their forces in the Alien battlefield, to guard the borders with the military forces.”

“I see…”

Realization hit Zheng Cheng; it was no wonder the Professionist families were able to thrive for so long.

They did make a significant contribution to the future of Blue Star and the continuance of the Human race.

That’s why the country would tolerate certain privileges granted unto them.

“Brother Zheng Cheng, there’s something else,” said Li Jiao, leaning in closer, “Would you like to know what the task for this year’s joint examination for Professionists is?”

Watching Li Jiao’s twinkling eyes, Zheng Cheng asked, “Isn’t it the same as every year? All new Professionists enter the Trial Tower together for their trials.”

“Scores are calculated based on the number and quality of monsters killed, and rankings are determined by how many levels they can clear in the Trial Tower… Is it different this year?”

Every year, the Professionist exam would have two examination methods.

Firstly, a team test, with three people forming a team to conquer the trial tower together.

When they surpass ten levels within the time limit, they would pass and get a chance to enter a Professionist University.

The more levels they get through, the higher the chance of them being accepted into a top-tier Professionist University.

The second method is individual competition.

This is aimed at the top ten colleges and three military schools, with applicants signing up voluntarily.

Roughly speaking, two professionists will compete against each other head to head. The better the performance, the higher the chance of being accepted by the top ten schools or the three military schools.

More than 300 years ago, as significant changes took place in Heaven and Earth, thousands of trial towers manifested all over the world.

Any Professionist could enter for training and challenge the levels.

The tower consists of 999 levels. It was believed that anyone who reaches the 1000th level could ascend to godhood.

Unfortunately, after more than 300 years, even with human’s best effort on sending the mightiest ten Professionists for a challenge, only made it to the 650th level at the most!

“It’s different.”

Li Jiao said, “Our family received information that this year, we humans have defeated the ‘Inferiors’ at one of the Alien battlefields called ‘Fallen Islands’.”

“We’ve wiped out their Professionist troop stationed in the ‘Fallen Islands’, leaving just a small number of low-ranking Professionits to run back to their home planet.”

“The content for this year’s joint Professionist entrance examination will be to venture into the Inferior’s home planet ‘Radiation Island’ for an extermination operation!!!”
