Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 380 Coin Collection, Dagger

The sudden and unusual change in the attribute panel surprised Xia Nan.

Although I had the experience of choosing a career path after I entered the [Gravity Control] and met the requirements for promotion to a professional.

I now know that besides being able to view equipment and item information, this is another function of my cheat ability.

Even when I was feeling lost about my career path because it was too difficult to find suitable combat skills, I still had some hope that it could help me get promoted part-time, just like before.

Unexpectedly, he was only at level 3, two levels away from achieving the maximum level requirement for the part-time job [Meteor Blade Hunter].

The attribute panel has the search function enabled in advance, listing suitable part-time jobs, their suitability, key features, and even employment requirements.

It truly lives up to the attribute panel's reputation as Xia Nan's "golden finger."

After all, no professional in this world can see a feasible promotion path in advance like him at level 3 and gradually move towards it.

The vast majority of them have no background. They either rely on professions like [Warrior] or [Rogue], which have relatively low promotion difficulty and abundant combat skill resources, to cobble together a few completely unrelated and unsystematic combat skills to barely reach level 10, and then get stuck at the threshold of advancing to the extraordinary level.

If you accidentally end up in an unpopular class like Xia Nan, where the level cap is only 5, your path to advancement is completely blocked, and you can't even find suitable combat skills.

Even those with some resources and backgrounds often have detailed plans for the future during their early careers before becoming professionals, and they wholeheartedly pursue one or two careers.

Few people have as many career advancement options as Xia Nan.

This made him feel much more relaxed and secure, as he had been anxious about the uncertainty of his future development.

However, at the same time, Xia Nan also had some doubts about the five different promotion paths in front of him.

"These professions are probably best suited for... me right now, aren't they?"

If, during the process of progressing from level 3 to level 5, you master several combat skills of different styles, or experience several rewarding dungeons, or even master a high-level combat skill of the same quality level as [Gravity Control], then you can achieve your goal.

Will the current job selection options on the attribute panel be added to or removed as a result?
The properties panel does not have a dialogue function, so it is impossible for it to answer Xia Nan's question.

But based on his understanding of his own special ability, the probability of this happening might be much higher than he imagined.

But that’s a story for another day.

For Xia Nan now, all he needs to do is follow the directions indicated by the panel to successfully break through the [Meteor Blade Hunter] lv5 limitation and complete the part-time job of the new profession.

Among them, the compatibility of [Shattered Armor Oathbreaker] and [Windwalker] is over 60%, and the job requirements are basically met. The only thing missing is to raise the job level to lv5.

It's equivalent to having two very safe backup options.

As long as Xia Nan's professional level is high enough, she can choose either one to complete the part-time job.

It's quite interesting, actually. The job requirements for these two professions might be quite demanding for ordinary people, but they just happen to meet his requirements.

It's likely that the attribute panel was tested across countless career paths, and these two careers were specifically highlighted.

One requirement is that the armor break rate in battle must be higher than that of 85% of the level 5 and below professionals on the continent of Aifara.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, he could assure him that he usually took good care of his equipment and maintained it every day. However, the intensity of the battle was too high, which led to this result.

Unexpectedly, the job requirements for this profession were met through a series of coincidences.

Xia Nan was able to meet the requirement of accumulating 50 miles of displacement distance in battle for [Windwalking], which should be attributed to [Fang Hunt].

After all, with his combat style that emphasizes mobility and maneuvering, the amount of activity he does in each battle is quite astonishing.

In other words, his physical attributes are pretty good. If it were any other adventurer, they would probably be exhausted after running two laps with the wolf's howl.

Although the exact strength of the [Shattered Armor Oathbreaker] and [Windwalker] classes is unknown, judging from their names and the core elements and directional guidance involved, they must be quite strong, and their compatibility is also very high.

Regardless of which department she ultimately chooses to work for, it will be an acceptable choice for Xia Nan.

As for the other three professions...

They all have, coincidentally, extremely stringent employment requirements.

The second category, special professions centered around "iron bones and steel" and "the coin of fate," rely on the highly mysterious elements of "fate" and "mental state."

Even the job requirements stipulate that applicants must have "beginner" level knowledge of Eastern mysticism and a fortune-telling combat technique.

Xia Nan vaguely guessed that this profession might be similar to a diviner with a certain level of physical strength and defensive capabilities, but it would be more magic-based.
He had to admit that even though he had transmigrated to another world, he still felt a certain inclination when he saw words related to his past life's cultural background.

"Perhaps I can look for opportunities to learn divination/fortune-telling combat skills in the future?"

The origin of the [Steel Knight] is even clearer. Its core guiding principles, [Echoes of Ember] and [Fallen Meteor], prove that this is a rare class that is also derived from the dungeon.

I couldn't help but recall the dilapidated and abandoned church I saw when I entered the [Echoes of Ember], the extinguished sun and the ruined knight.

If I really have the opportunity to become a [Steel Knight], perhaps the strength of this class will exceed my expectations.

However, the job requirements it requires are even more mysterious than those for the aforementioned profession with an Eastern background.

If the "knowledge of Eastern mysticism (introduction)" and "death" that he had already achieved were due to his upbringing before his transmigration, and the truck that brought him to this other world.

As for the additional requirement of the [Steel Knight] to "ignite the flame", Xia Nan really had no clue.

It couldn't possibly be starting a fire in the literal sense; he guessed that perhaps he needed to use the "ember embers" in his [Ember Echoes] state to do something.

However, this is just speculation. Considering the 30-day cooldown of [Echoes of Ember] and the special effect of the [Emberfall] straight sword in the Ember state, which allowed Xia Nan to obtain a cooldown reduction for [Echoes of Ember] after killing the crystallized priest, the actual cooldown time is not the full 30 days, but rather a little over 28 days.

If we want to take advantage of this once-a-month opportunity to "ignite the spark," we'll probably have to rely on luck.

In summary, although the compatibility is slightly lower, as long as the strength is high enough, Xia Nan would not rule out choosing [Melting Steel Knight] as his second profession.

Finally, and also Xia Nan's first choice now, is that unknown profession with a compatibility rate of 117.96%.

To be honest, when he saw on the attribute panel that the suitability for this profession was more than 100%, he already had an idea in mind.

Strength is certainly important, but compatibility is also a crucial factor to consider.

It's worth noting that the compatibility level for [Meteor Blade Hunter] was only 120% back then, and Xia Nan gained a deep understanding of just how overpowered this class was during his adventures over the next few hundred days.

Moreover, considering the elements and core orientation of this unknown profession, its intensity is unlikely to be low.

Even the requirements for part-time work are one more than others. In addition to the job level requirements, you also need to raise [Gravity Control] to level 2, kill a certain number of creatures, and finally hold a large-scale ceremony for intimidation.

Thanks to the selfless sacrifices of the goblins, Xia Nan has achieved its goal in terms of the number of living beings slaughtered.

The skill level for [Gravity Control] is indeed a bit harder to acquire, but the job requirement is only level 2, not higher.

Once I find the key to the [Dream Corridor], and store up more energy, I'll eventually have a chance to upgrade.

As for the only remaining challenge, that large-scale intimidation ceremony...

He had to admit that he already had some ideas in mind.

Of course, the specifics are still in the planning stages and we need to wait for the right conditions to be met.

Regardless, the original plan remains unchanged, and the trip to the Southern Islands will proceed as scheduled.

Finding the key to the [Dream Corridor] is crucial for him now, and also for him in the future after his job change.

But halfway through the mission, Xia Nan also started planning for part-time work.

It's not necessary to focus your efforts on a particular profession.

While training and improving his proficiency in [Gravity Control], he could also inquire about any divination-related combat techniques and look for opportunities to ignite the spark.

Developing on three fronts simultaneously.

In this way, once he raises his professional level to lv5 in the future, he will be able to satisfy one of the three professions, right?
Even if he's really unlucky, he still has the [Shattered Armor Oathbreaker] and [Windwalker] as backup options to choose from.

With this in mind, although the trip required more things to handle, Xia Nan did not feel any pressure or burden.

Instead, the clearer upward trajectory made them feel more relaxed, and their anticipation increased.

Dispersing the attribute panel in the void ahead, Xia Nan looked around as if searching for something.

His gaze then settled on a spot on the floor in front of him.

He took a few steps forward, carefully picked up the [Coin of Destiny] that had fallen to the ground, took out a gauze from his waist pouch, and patiently and carefully wiped it clean.

Then he carefully placed it close to his body.

This is an extremely rare pink-quality item imbued with the divine power of the "Goddess of Luck," Tamora.

Even after all three uses have been used up, it seems no different from an ordinary coin.

But its contribution to Xia Nan alone is enough to warrant such cherishing and treatment.

There were three coin tosses.

For the first time, he pulled that fleeting gravitational core out of the spacetime turbulence, which helped Xia Nan defeat a powerful enemy and also allowed him to advance the "Gravity Solidification" he learned from the Wild Mage's Notes to [Gravity Control], thus meeting the promotion requirements and finally obtaining the job level;
The second time, facing two powerful and experienced professionals at the same time, almost falling into a dead end, thanks to the luck brought by the coin, he opened the [Dream Corridor] for the first time, upgraded [Fang Hunt] to the maximum level, and his job level increased as a result. He even gained an extra feat.

The third and final time, Xia Nan, having learned how to use the coin from his previous experiences, deliberately or unintentionally performed an exaggerated "miracle triple" by utilizing the mechanism of the [Coin of Fate].

While triggering the physical damage reduction of [Copper Bones and Iron Bones], I seized the fleeting opportunity with the orange I grabbed at random, completely killing the enemy, and before the coin landed, I seized the last chance to open [Dream Corridor].

To some extent, the "Coin of Fortune" played a significant role in his success.

Even if it becomes useless in the future, given Xia Nan's personality, she wouldn't just throw it away or sell it under the guise of "Goddess of Luck".

Instead, they would keep them as collectibles.

That way, when he retires, if he occasionally sees this coin, he can recall everything he experienced back then.

After carefully placing the [Coin of Destiny], Xia Nan raised his right hand and slightly rotated the silver ring on his ring finger.

The dream ended, and I gained a total of over 170 proficiency points, which allowed me to level up [Gravity Etching] from level 3 to the maximum level 5.

【Dream Corridor】The original 9.27% ​​remaining energy was also cleared, leaving only a pitiful 0.12%.

That's enough. For a combat skill like [Gravity Etching], less than 10% of the energy is enough to raise its proficiency by two levels. How could Xia Nan not be satisfied?

The only slight drawback is that the "Mastery" level of [Gravity Etching] does not offer a special feat like [Whirlwind Slash] and [Fang Hunt].

However, considering that "expertise" itself is not a very common thing for professionals in this world.

Many extraordinary experts with a professional level of 10 or higher may only have a handful of useful specializations.

He was only level 3, yet he already had seven special skills.

The slight drawbacks of the "gravity etching" effect seem to become more acceptable.

Moreover, if things go as I predicted, once I find the key to the [Dream Corridor] and accumulate more energy, my combat skills might even have a chance to improve further...

Xia Nan's mind raced with thoughts.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned to look at the goddess statue, which was made entirely of pink crystals.

He strode forward and touched the surface of the statue with his silver-ringed finger.

My fingertips felt slightly cool, but no familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

He raised his head slightly, gazing into the frozen eyes of the goddess stone sculpture.

The statue, which had been shining brightly just moments before, has now become dim and lifeless with the priest's death, losing all its former brilliance.

Unwilling to give up, and just to be on the safe side, Xia Nan walked towards the direction of Moen's corpse again.

Approaching her, he bent down and touched the gem on her chest with his fingers.

It is also ineffective.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But just then, something brownish on the priest's waist caught his attention.

—A small dagger with a wooden handle, tightly sheathed in a leather sheath.

　It's almost the end of the month, does anyone have any extra monthly passes?
