I, the heir of the great Eastern nation

Looking at the text above his head that resembled a game title, Liu Zhao was instantly stunned.

The next second, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he suddenly understood what this thing was.

World protection!

This is the manifestation of the rules of this world, a blessing bestowed by the will of the world, and it is divided into two types: status-based protection and occupation-based protection.

Among these, identity enhancement is innate, while occupational enhancement is acquired later in life, both of which bring different ability boosts to the holder.

"The heir to a great Eastern power, which translates to roughly equivalent to a crown prince, how could I possibly have such a title?"

Liu Zhao frowned slightly and couldn't help but silently repeat the words above his head again.

Then, he looked enlightened.

"The successor of the University of Tokyo... the successor of socialism, wow, when I think about it that way, it doesn't seem to make any sense."

While surprised by his special title, Liu Zhao also noticed that next to the title was a symbol that looked like an arrow. With his thought, a property box similar to a game interface instantly appeared.

[Identity: Heir to a Great Eastern Power]

[Quality: Bronze]

[Ability: Equal Protection (Passive, immune to the suppression and negative effects of all identity-based protections)]

Besides the title and identity displayed above his head, Liu Zhao also saw other information below.

Occupation: University student (Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Literature)

[Quality: Gold]

[Skill 1: Language Proficiency (You can easily learn and initially master a new language after being exposed to it)]

[Ability 2: Blessing of Innocence (Clear and naive - easier to gain favor with others, fragile but hard to kill - difficult to die from poison and curses, and always gains resistance to them)]

【Career 2: Teacher (Internship)】

[Quality: Bronze]

[Ability: Teacher's Blessing (The knowledge you impart makes it easier for others to understand, and the damage from attacks inflicted on you by students is reduced by 80%)]

【Occupation 3: Civil Servant (Reserve)】

[Quality: Bronze]

[Ability: Blessing of the Lawful Servant (Makes it easier to gain favor with Lawful and Neutral faction creatures, and increases damage against Chaotic faction creatures)]

The text, which read like a game skill description, instantly filled Liu Zhao with shock.

Looking at his personal panel, his emotions fluctuated, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In the end, all the words I wanted to say boiled down to a helpless sigh.

"Awesome."

While reflecting on this, looking at the three professional buff titles before him, Liu Zhao gained a clearer understanding of the unique setting of this world.

The profession of college student goes without saying, and the student teacher is probably because he has obtained a teaching certificate and has also done a middle school internship.

As for civil servant reserves, it's probably because although they have passed the interview and been hired, they have not yet officially taken up their posts, so they can only be considered reserves.

After roughly figuring out these things, Liu Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although no system cheat codes have been discovered yet, this start is still barely acceptable."

After a long internal struggle, when Liu Zhao looked at the father and daughter kneeling in front of him again, he could clearly see the same title above their heads.

【serf】

At the same time, Liu Zhao also understood what the middle-aged man was saying.

He kept kowtowing and repeating the same thing over and over.

"Your Highness, I am terrified. Please forgive my offense and spare my life."

What offense? How did you offend me? Why would I want to kill you?

Liu Zhao was taken aback and couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Uncle, I don't understand what you're saying?"

"Never mind that for now. Stop kneeling and get up to talk."

Seeing an elder who was clearly much older than him kneeling in front of him, Liu Zhao felt uncomfortable all over and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him up.

However, to Liu Zhao's surprise, his action terrified the other party, turning his face pale.

Not only did he scramble out the door with both hands and feet, but he also became unable to speak clearly. All he could do was tremble and kowtow repeatedly, even pulling the little girl next to him to kowtow as well.

Seeing this scene completely baffled Liu Zhao.

"No, why? What are you doing?"

Seeing that the other party could only kowtow and was about to bruise his forehead, Liu Zhao decisively shouted loudly in desperation.

"Enough! Stop it!"

At this sound, the other person stopped moving, but remained kneeling timidly in place, his head bowed in fear as he tightly hugged the little girl.

Seeing their frightened expressions, Liu Zhao, who had never experienced such a scene before, felt both heartache and anxiety, while also experiencing a strange sense of irritation.

He didn't know why the other person was so afraid of him.

Liu Zhao wished he could pull him up immediately and ask him what exactly he meant.

However, as soon as he raised his right hand, he immediately remembered how the other person had turned pale with fright.

This made Liu Zhao immediately suppress the thought, quickly withdraw his hand, take a deep breath, and put on a kind smile.

"Listen to me, uncle, don't kneel down yet. Stand up, raise your head, and speak, okay?"

Liu Zhao's seemingly friendly tone did not put the other party at ease.

The middle-aged man kept his head down.

"Your Highness, is this...is this your order?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zhao was taken aback.

"As a serf, to... to dare to look a nobleman in the eye without orders is... a capital offense! I... I don't want to die!"

The middle-aged man's voice trembled noticeably and sounded like he was about to cry.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Zhao was suddenly jolted, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Looking at the trembling middle-aged man in front of him, Liu Zhao couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Damn it! What the hell have I gotten myself into?!"

Despite his incredibly complex feelings, Liu Zhao knew that now was not the time to let his mind wander. After taking a deep breath, he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"Yes, just as you said, this is an order. Now I order you to stand up, raise your head, and look at me as you speak."

Upon hearing Liu Zhao's calm words, the middle-aged man slowly raised his head and stood up.

"Yes, Your Highness."

His eyes were full of exhaustion, and his gaze toward Liu Zhao was filled with unease and fear.

Seeing that the other party was finally able to speak properly, Liu Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good. Now I'll ask you questions, and you can answer them without any reservations. Just say what you know, understand?"

The middle-aged man nodded.

"My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Zhao. Who are you? Where are we now? Did you save me?"

"Your Highness, my name is Thor, and I don't have a surname. This is my youngest daughter, Lina. We are currently in White River Village in Greenstone Territory."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look Liu Zhao in the eye.

"As for Your Highness, it wasn't me who saved you, but my eldest son Simon. Lina found you on the outskirts of the Monster Forest, and Simon carried you back."

"..."

After a brief conversation, Liu Zhao couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Originally, as a transmigrator, he had hoped to learn some information about the cultivation system and unique worldview of this world from the other party.

But as a lowly serf, this man named Thor didn't know much. The most useful information he had so far was that White River Village was the territory of Knight York, and Thor's eldest son, Simon, was one of the servants under Knight York.

According to Thor, after rescuing this nobleman, Simon immediately went to inform the knight York, and believed that it would not be long before the knight came to see him in person.

As they were talking, Liu Zhao's stomach suddenly rumbled, making him scratch his head in embarrassment.

In response, old Thor jumped up suddenly.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment, I will go and prepare food for you."

Soon, old Thor came over carefully, carrying a bowl of food of an indistinct shape, as if protecting a treasure, and handed it to Liu Zhao with a respectful expression.

Liu Zhao took the bowl and looked at the contents. Suddenly, his stomach twitched slightly, as if it were deliberately resisting something.

Liu Zhao frowned slightly and immediately searched through all the foods he knew, but in the end, he still couldn't recognize what it was.

"Never mind, maybe it's some kind of unique food from another world. If they can eat it, I can definitely eat it too."

With this in mind, Liu Zhao, just like when he was a guest at someone else's house, politely thanked them and then picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.

*Pfft*

It's disgusting and makes you want to vomit; it sprays out as soon as you put it in your mouth.

"Is this even edible for humans?"

Almost instinctively, Liu Zhao blurted out the question that was on his mind.

Then, as soon as he said those words, looking at the stunned old Thor in front of him and the heartbroken little Lina beside him, Liu Zhao immediately regretted it.

Just as I was about to explain, a deep voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"That's right, how could such inferior food be allowed to defile our noble prince!"

Liu Zhao looked up towards the doorway.

There, a burly man dressed in light gray armor walked in and knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Zhao.

"Knight of Greenstone, York Will, greets Your Highness!"
