8 Chapter 8: Increasing Skill Proficiency? I Have a Way!
Translator: 549690339
After school, Zheng Cheng returned home alone.
A small two-bedroom apartment, a little over half an hour’s walk from Twelfth Middle School.
In this parallel world, he was an orphan.
His parents had passed away in an accident when he was young, and he was adopted by an orphanage.
A year ago, Zheng Cheng traversed to this place and voluntarily left the orphanage.
Relying on his past experience, he made quite a lot of money working as a copy clerk and doing off-the-beaten-path small business for over a year.
He was able to rent a small room in the north city of Chang’an City, a place he could finally call home.
After washing up, just as he lay in bed, his mobile phone began to ring.
Upon picking it up, as expected, it was Chen Xiao.
“Brother Cheng, have you thought about how to improve your skills?”
“I’ve arranged it with Cai Kun, we’ll compete together… do you want to come?”
Zheng Cheng asked in a strange tone, “Are you sure you want me to join?”
“Um… well…”
Chen Xiao became awkward and tried to find his way out, “How about you just come and watch us practice?”
“No need, I have my own methods.”
Zheng Cheng flatly refused him: “Right, where’s Zhang Ping’an?”
“He is with us. His beginner’s skill is called “Plant Essence Extraction”. He can extract essence from common plants, and after ingesting it, it can enhance his own physique…”
After talking a few more words with Chen Xiao, who hung up the phone,
“To improve skill proficiency, huh?”
“My skill is traumatizing. Presumably, no Professionist will want to practice with me.”
“Unless someone willingly undergoes the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique.”
“But only people who have been hit in the head would willingly suffer diarrhea…”
“Hm… wait!”
“There seems to be a place…”
Chen Xiao knocked the table as he quickly thought of something.
“This method might work, I’ll try it tomorrow…”
The next morning, Zheng Cheng rode on a bus, arriving at the Professionists’ Guild located in the city center of Chang’an’s city.
This was the activity center for all Professionists in Chang’an City, created officially but became a semi-official, semi-private organization due to the participation of some powerful Professionists and forces.
In the Professionists’ Guild, any Professionists can obtain professional level certification, carry out material and equipment transactions, accept tasks, and so on.
Normal people or other Professionists, countries, and organizations can also publish tasks here.
To hire other Professionists to help them complete specific tasks, they use Chinese yuan or gold coins, materials, and props as payment.
Surrounding the Professionists’ Guild are the City Lord’s Mansion, Professionists University, the auction house, and all the other major commercial companies.
Walking into the Professionists’ Guild, what greeted him was row upon row of transparent glass desks like a government affairs hall.
At each desk, beautiful women with good figures and attractive faces were handling business for others with charming smiles.
People who could come here were either Professionists or people with money and power.
How could ordinary staff offend them?
On the two sides of the hall, other Professionist Guilds are located.
The Formation Master Guild, Mage Guild, Knight Guild, etc.
Specially established by an overwhelming Professionist, they rely on the Professionists’ Guild and are specifically managed by the Professionists’ Guild.
Within each guild, they form their own systems.
Specific new Professionists can join the guild that their own profession belongs to and obtain help within the guild.
Following the direction of the arrow, Zheng Cheng passed through the business hall and came to another place.
It was a white building.
On the outside of the building, there was a bright red cross sign.
Chang’an City, the Priest Guild.
This place manages all the priests and healing druids, and other recovery class Professionists in Chang’an City.
The people coming and going here were even more numerous!
Coming to a counter, a lady dress in an OL (Office Lady) style outfit soon greeted him.
“Little brother, what can I help you with?”
“I want to establish a Professionist profile.”
The professional sister’s eyes suddenly lit up. Such a young Professionist?
The months of August and September are the awakening period for Professionists in the Xia country.
In these two months, the Professionists’ Guild is the busiest.
She immediately turned on the computer and asked, “Sir, you must be a newly awakened Professionist in senior high school, right?”
“Yes.”
“Is your profession a Priest? How many stars?”
“Priest, three stars.”
“Oh… a three-star Priest? The most basic profession?”
“Yes…” Zheng Cheng asked, “So, can’t I set up a file?”
“Of course you can.”
The professional sister let her flattering intentions falter, adopting a more formal tone, “Could I ask for your name?”
“Zheng Cheng.”
“Age.”
“Eighteen.”
“…”
A few minutes later, the Professionist file was set up.
The professional sister handed over a chip similar to an ID card.
“Mr. Zheng, this is your Professionist ID. With this, you can accept tasks, post information at the Professionist Guild…”
Zheng Cheng asked directly: “I want to rent a healing room in the Priest Guild. What procedure do I need?”
The professional lady still replied with a smile: “You just need your profession ID and to pay a certain amount of rent. How many days do Mr. Zheng want to rent?”
“What’s the minimum?”
“Seven days.”
“Then I’ll take seven days.”
“It’s a thousand yuan a day, or 1 silver coin, are you sure you want to rent?”
“1 silver coin…”
Zheng Cheng marvelled at the high cost. How was it so expensive to rent a healing room at the Priest Guild!
In the Professionists’ Guild, all supporting Professionists and lifestyle Professionists can rent a room here and provide their services to other assisting Professionists.
Healing, alchemy, Dan refining, beast refining, enchanting, etc., all were possible.
Gold coins were the trading currency formed by the soul force of the monsters killed by Professionists in the wild, and in dungeons.
They were very precious.
They were divided into copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
1 copper coin was equivalent to one hundred yuan of a common man.
1 silver coin was equivalent to one thousand yuan.
And 1 gold coin was ten thousand yuan!
He had spent a lot of money on school, rent, and living expenses this year.
But to improve his skill proficiency, he had no choice but to choose this place.
After all.
At the Professionist Guild, the Professionists and wealthy people coming and going were numerous!
The professional sister seemed to see through Zheng Cheng’s embarrassment and explained, “Mr. Zheng, a thousand per day is really not expensive.”
“You are a Priest, they are rare and possess healing skills, some wealthy people are willing to enjoy the Priest’s services.”
“One healing service, you can charge at least two thousand yuan, completely covering your rent…”
Zheng Cheng looked strange, a healing skill?
Does causing diarrhea count?
He laughed at himself and nodded, “Alright, then I will rent for seven days.”
“Okay, I’ll get that arranged for you.”
The professional sister quickly typed on the computer, then took out a bunch of keys from the counter and gave them to Zheng Cheng.
“Mr. Zheng, this is your rented healing room.”
“Area A, room number 58!”
“Area A, No. 58?”
Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched: “Does this mean there are 58 Priests here?”
