Chapter 61 Career Planning
Apartment 403.
The glass door to the balcony was gently pushed open, and the evening breeze, carrying the coolness of the night, rushed in.
Lin Ze walked into the living room under the moonlight, casually wiped his face with his hand, and the ordinary, unremarkable mask instantly fell off, revealing his originally handsome and composed face.
His body shape also changed back to its original form. The whole process was like a sudden scene change, so neat and swift that there was not a trace of delay.
After storing the replica mask in his storage mark, Lin Ze stretched his muscles and bones, which made a slight cracking sound.
The fight tonight left him covered in blood. He went straight to the bathroom and used the warm water to wash away his fatigue and the smell of blood. When he returned to the living room, he felt refreshed.
Sitting down on the sofa, Lin Ze stared at the ceiling and began to review the evening's actions.
Advanced Extreme Slaughter Sword, testing its true combat power after star upgrade.
Both core objectives were successfully achieved, and the entire process was uneventful.
With the option of replacing the scarecrow, he can leave at any time without worrying about being trapped.
The final test results satisfied Lin Ze greatly.
Facing the combined attack of Lei Yao and Mu Yuan, two seasoned Level 5 professionals, he maintained an absolute advantage throughout, almost crushing them, which was enough to prove that his strength had long surpassed that of Level 5 professionals.
"With my current strength, I should have no problem fighting against a typical level 6 professional."
"If he uses his ultimate release, his combat power should be considered top-tier among level 6 professionals."
Lin Ze pondered to himself.
The higher the professional level, the greater the difference in strength between them.
The standard for a level 6 professional is that at least one attribute must reach 30 points, which is half again as much as the level 5 standard of 20 points!
Moreover, this is only half of the numerical value; in actual combat, the difference in combat power is often several times greater.
Having only recently advanced to level 5, and with only one attribute meeting the requirements, being able to contend with level 6 professionals already makes the Extreme Slaughter Sword an overpowered weapon.
"Moreover, Ultimate Release consumes stamina, which does not conflict with Blood Frenzy, which consumes blood. The effects of the two skills can be stacked."
Lin Ze suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
How much can his strength increase when using two skills at the same time?
"I'll give it a try if I have the chance."
Lin Ze then examined the soul crystal.
Most of the guild members killed tonight were thugs equipped with demonized weapons, but there were also seventy or eighty professionals.
This also includes level 5 powerhouses like Lei Yao and Mu Yuan.
However, even with such a massive injection of soul energy, less than one-tenth of the soul crystal solidified.
"The third soul baptism requires even more soul energy."
Lin Ze murmured softly.
At that moment, a soft sound came from the front door, and "Lin Ze" pushed the door open and entered.
He changed into slippers at the door, walked to the center of the living room, and his figure and face changed in a flash, quickly transforming into the appearance of Jingzhe.
"You've worked hard," Lin Ze chuckled.
The person who went to his post tonight and remained on standby in the sealed-off area was Jingzhe.
With the incident concluded, the cleanup work at Qinghui Square was handed over to the regular troops, and the special operations team was disbanded and went their separate ways.
Lin Ze summoned the Awakening of Insects panel.
Unsurprisingly, the "Executioner" occupation has disappeared from the occupation list.
After the profession is upgraded through fusion, Jingzhe will return to its original state.
Lin Ze then summoned Winter Solstice and Frostfall, and looked at the three clones, lost in thought.
The advanced class of the Ultimate Slaughter Sword is the three-star Infinite Sword Spirit.
The prerequisite professions are Extreme Slaughter Swordsman and Psionicist.
Among them, the Spirit Master is a two-star class that is an advancement of the Spirit Awakener.
Lin Ze recalled the advancement requirements for the Infinite Sword Spirit in his mind.
属性方面，依次是力量62.5、敏捷63.3、体质51.2、精神47.4、感知56.1。
In terms of skills, any two slashing skills and any one speed skill must be at the maximum level, and the skill level must be rare or higher.
In terms of talent, one must master psionic echo and long-range slash.
Frankly speaking, none of the three conditions are easy to meet.
60 attribute points is the standard for a level 9 professional.
In other words, one must at least advance to level 9 to meet the attribute requirements for advancing to the Infinite Sword Spirit.
Needless to say, skills are even more demanding, with rare skills requiring an absurdly high level of experience.
To upgrade three rare skills to the maximum level, more than a million potential points are required.
As for talents, both Psionic Echo and Long-Range Slash are excellent-level talents.
Just how difficult it is to obtain an exceptional talent can be seen from the Blade of Breaking Limits.
"There is still a long way to go before you can advance to the level of the Infinite Sword Spirit."
Lin Ze sighed and then summoned the Winter Solstice panel.
The Blood Walker's advanced class is the two-star Crimson Earl.
Another prerequisite profession is Shadow Striker.
After undergoing two soul baptisms and star upgrades, Lin Ze's attributes now meet the requirements for the Crimson Earl's advancement.
All that's missing is skill and talent.
The former requires both Blood Manipulation and Shadow Cloak to be at max level.
The latter requires mastery of shadow affinity and energy perception.
"Blood manipulation is easy to obtain; it can be acquired by changing to Shadow Assassin and other classes, and normal-level skills are also easy to upgrade."
"I already have energy perception."
Talents used for synthesis do not disappear; they remain with the player, though they will not be displayed on the character panel.
Or more precisely, it is included in the superior talents.
Lin Ze's current Breakthrough Blade talent includes energy perception.
"The most difficult one is actually shadow affinity."
Lin Ze's eyes flickered.
Shadow Affinity is a rare talent, and given Lin Ze's current social circle, it's highly unlikely that he could acquire the card through trading or internal legion exchange.
The drop rate from dungeons is extremely low.
The only way is to follow the talent synthesis path.
The prerequisite talents for Shadow Affinity are the excellent-grade "Dark Rhythm" and "Dark Sleep".
The former can increase the movement and attack speed of professionals in dark environments and reduce stamina consumption.
The latter effect is that when a professional is stationary in the shadows, their stamina recovery speed and injury recovery speed will be greatly increased, and their presence will be completely concealed, making them difficult to detect.
Both talents can be acquired through specialized training, but it requires a lot of time and effort.
"Fortunately, it only requires two excellent-grade talents to synthesize, making it slightly easier than the Blade of Limit Break."
Lin Ze roughly estimated that upgrading skills, preparing for the Shadow Striker class change, and training the two talents would take at least two or three months to complete.
"Then there's the career planning for Shuangjiang."
Lin Ze looked at the spirited young woman in front of him.
Frostfall is currently the class of Spirit Awakener.
There are nearly twenty career advancement paths for this profession.
It can be merged with the Sharpshooter to become the Mind Shooter.
It can merge with a summoner to become a spirit master.
Merge with a fighter to become a martial artist.
It merges with the sword spirit to form a battle spirit.
......
However, only a handful of these professions can directly reach the five-star level.
Lin Ze suddenly remembered something, took out a stack of storage marks from his pocket, and lined them up on the coffee table.
These were the spoils he had seized from Lei Yao, Mu Yuan, and several other level 4 professionals tonight.
I haven't had a chance to check what's inside yet.
One by one, the seals were opened, and the items inside were quickly categorized and organized.
Everyday items were casually set aside, the most numerous items were various extraordinary materials, and there were only a dozen or so cards, all of which were of common grade.
The only thing that made Lin Ze feel slightly gratified was that he found the skills "Swift Strike," "Fighting Mastery," and "Iron Bones" from the cards, which perfectly matched the prerequisite skills and talents needed to become a Fighter.
It's worth mentioning that these three cards all come from the storage marks of members of the Gangken Guild, presumably because most of the guild members are fighters.
"In that case, let's choose the martial artist."
Lin Ze quickly made a decision.
Like the Sword of Ultimate Slaughter, the Martial Artist is also a powerful profession that aims directly at the Five Star Path, and its potential should not be underestimated.
"It just so happens that the Awakening of Insects is now a blank slate, which can be used as a transition for job change."
The clone that has become a blank slate has two choices.
The first is a replica of the original character's class.
The second option is to switch to a new career.
Lin Ze's original plan was to have Jingzhe replicate his profession so that he could use the Extreme Slaughter Sword profession to act in the future.
However, we can hold off for now and wait until the Winter Solstice and Frost's Descent classes are upgraded to two stars before re-released.
"The prerequisite for becoming a martial artist is that any two combat skills reach the maximum level."
"The prerequisite talents are Qi perception and energy awareness."
"Energy perception goes without saying, and Qi perception can be naturally acquired by switching to the Fighter class with a body of steel."
Lin Ze's eyes lit up.
Based on this calculation, Shuangjiang only needs two more max-level fighting skills and to complete the advanced trial to advance to the Martial Artist level!
The progress is actually faster than during the winter solstice!
Lin Ze looked at Shuangjiang, a hint of joy in his eyes.
It looks like we'll soon have another two-star professional clone.
