Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 39 Reflections on Principles

What is this word?

What do you mean by saying legends don't lie? It's more like legends are the ones that lie.

But... I'm an outsider, so I'll believe first and then doubt.

Everyone looked up and stared blankly at the sky for a while.

"what!"

"correct!"

"Let's go back quickly!"

"What's wrong? Is there danger?" Zhou Er suddenly suggested, and Lu Cang became slightly alert.

It's getting dark now, and it's common knowledge that nighttime is more dangerous than daytime.

Zhou Er's suggestion came so suddenly that Lu Cang felt something bad was about to happen.

"No...it's not dangerous."

"However, today is the best day to worship Yacaticto, as the moon is changing. If we go back now... we can still make it in time to pay our respects."

Damn it... I'll go back and pray.

I thought something important had happened.

Do you think God will heed your prayers, you mere mortal from some obscure corner of the world?

Even someone like Lu Cang, who had just transmigrated, knew that gods wouldn't casually concern themselves with the affairs of mortals.

Otherwise, if everyone in the world worshipped gods, they would be too busy to work.

That makes sense, though.

Nighttime is more dangerous than daytime, and even with the illumination of "constant lights," Lu Cang did not want to expose himself to unknown dangers.

Today's tasks are all done. Although I still have plenty of energy, I am indeed physically exhausted.

As expected, physical strength is a well-known weakness of mages...

It's time to go back.

"Okay, then go back."

In this battle, the other two were just spectators.

But Lu Cang didn't mind the small amount of 2 gold coins.

Like a safety rope, it can remain unused, and ideally, it should never be used.

But we absolutely cannot do without it.

only……

Lu Cang glanced at Gai Dun and Ji Di.

The older man is quite useful as a gatherer, but as a healer and defender, level 2 is indeed too low.

It's safer to switch to level 3.

Especially for a Level 3 Defender, Lu Cang hoped that he could defend against sudden dangers when he was not able to react in time.

Given enough time to react, barriers and heavy walls can quickly stop the damage.

But Lu Cang is worried about whether this guy can react to what he's doing now.

However, level 3 adventurers should not be charged this price.

……

Return to Raine.

The total reward for the commission is 4 gold, and the reward for the three second-tier lords is 2 gold and 20 silver.

The reward for a Tier 3 lord is 1 gold and 80 silver, which is exactly 4 gold.

Lu Cang gave them 2 gold coins each to distribute among themselves, and his net profit for the day totaled 31 gold coins.

The majority of the profits came from collecting corpses.

Today's reward for everyone totaled 2 gold and 60 silver.

For them, it was equivalent to earning nearly 1 gold in a day without any risk.

After receiving the money, they expressed their gratitude to Lu Cang.

They also praised Lu Cang a lot, saying he was a true prodigy and would surely shine brightly in the world in the future.

After the payment is settled.

Each of them placed a precious silver coin in front of the blank statue placed in the guild.

They prayed devoutly to the statue of the god.

Oh?
How could they be so willing to part with it?
In that case, the Adventurers' Guild must be making a killing...

They would collect silver coins and other valuables from the altar of the idol every day.

Lu Cang couldn't help but think this way.

However, in the next second, Lu Cang immediately withdrew his previous thought.

All that could be seen were the silver coins thrown onto the platform below the statue, which evaporated like water being boiled dry, bubbling away.

Lu Cang's lips twitched as he looked up at the sky.

ha?
Hey—you're being a bit ridiculous, aren't you?
You really took other people's money?
You're not really going to do it, are you? You'd better really do it!
……

I was on duty all day today, and I'm completely exhausted.

Lu Cang returned to the hotel to prepare for a shower.

Take off all your clothes and stand in front of the mirror.

He seems to have grown a little taller... Come to think of it, today I was already a head taller than the counter by standing on tiptoe.

You've definitely grown taller, haven't you?
Do children in this world develop that quickly?
Lu Cang looked at his body again. Although he couldn't say his muscles were sharply defined, he had quite a bit of muscle.

I flexed my biceps and pinched them; they were rock hard.

I've also developed some abdominal and pectoral muscles.

Sure enough, my body became stronger.

After all, this world isn't like a game where you can see specific numerical values; Lu Cang can only measure himself through these visible physical conditions.

"His magic is powerful, but his body is incredibly weak."

Although he was slightly stronger, his progress was still far behind that of the mage.

"If I could, I'd really like to switch to a warrior class."

But Cumroni is not here now.

Pollution after promotion is dangerous for me.

One cannot rely on Cumroni forever; one cannot always depend on others for promotion.

We still need to find a way to remove the pollution ourselves.

Sigh, why did I transmigrate as a child?

If you're 16, it'll be much easier.

As Lu Cang took a shower, he was also filled with emotion.

Lu Cang was already very tired during the day, so he used the stretching method that Chi Cheng had taught him to relieve muscle fatigue so that he wouldn't be sore all over the next day and affect his combat performance.

Lu Cang communicated most with Kumironi and Iz.

Secondly, there is Akagi.

As for the stone, Lu Cang had actually only seen it a few times.

You basically never see it from morning till night, and you don't even know if it lives in a hotel.

But when it occasionally encounters me, it will greet me.

It also occasionally likes to tell itself a corny joke.

Ok……

Apart from that, Lu Cang knew nothing else about Obades.

According to Akari, when Izparut and the others were not around, it was Obardus who fought alongside it.

Come to think of it...

Chi Cheng, if even Obades won't fight you, you're really going to be fighting alone.

The relaxation technique that Chi Cheng taught Lu Cang was quite useful.

I've heard that combat techniques in this world are divided into various schools. To learn combat techniques, one often needs to specialize in an established "school" and supplement it with other auxiliary "combat techniques."

To create a unique combat system.

Of course, it doesn't mean you can only learn one style; it's just that combat skills, like magic, require years of arduous training.

If you learn too much, you're likely to bite off more than you can chew.

The relaxation technique that Lu Cang is currently using is the living form from the "Invincible Style," a school of martial arts that Wuwei mentioned.

Invincible style...

It's amazing he dared to choose that name.

However, it seems that both Izu and Akari enjoy creating their own skills and playstyles.

It seems that Iz created "Magic Void" at level 1.

Chi Cheng, on the other hand, created his own "Invincible Style".

Should I also research and create my own skills?

Izzy's teachings flashed through Lu Cang's mind again.

"The promotion ceremony is a testament to your commitment to professional ethics..."

"While learning, it's also necessary to engage in independent thinking."

Do we adhere to the principles?
It should be like the college entrance examination. For ordinary people, scoring between 0 and 750 points is considered part of the test.

However, for some extraordinary geniuses who can publish top-tier journal papers and win Nobel Prizes while still in high school... the college entrance exam score becomes less important.

In other words.

Whether you get a perfect score on the assessment during the promotion ceremony is not important.

The important thing is... outstanding performance in adhering to the principles.

However, could "beyond magic" be considered an original creation of his own?
Although it is a result of talent, I am indeed the first person in the world to transcend magic, so I guess that counts too?
