Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Lin You's post quickly sparked heated discussions in the forum of the newbie zone, number 25535.

Amidst a multitude of posts seeking help and venting emotions.

Lin You's "strategy guide" seems so serious.

Not to mention, he directly shared three recipes for free in the post.

For other players, this is like a windfall!

Comments kept refreshing below his post.

"Holy crap! Really? A recipe for stone pickaxes, stone axes, and stone spears? Is this guy insane?"

"You're the one who's crazy! Someone was just being kind and you're insulting them?"

"No, I mean, shouldn't we keep this kind of thing to ourselves? It's such a waste to make it public!"

"Thanks, OP! I was just wondering how to craft weapons; I was almost chased down by a slime just now!"

"Screenshot saved. May good people have a peaceful life."

"I've tried the recipe, and it really works! Just put the ingredients on the worktable. Thank you, Lin You, for saving my life!"

Amidst the expressions of gratitude, there were also some discordant voices.

"Hilarious! Giving away such good stuff? Is this guy an idiot?"

"Exactly! I finally managed to find the Stone Spear recipe on a mushroom monster, and I was planning to sell it to someone for a high price, but he just made it public, and my business is completely ruined!"

"You're something else, aren't you? When lives are at stake, you're still thinking about doing business?"

"None of your business. Everyone earns their living through their own abilities. I didn't force anyone to buy it."

"I suggest the original poster delete the post. This is something you should keep to yourself; why let others benefit from it?"

"I second that! This is so unfair to the person who got the formula!"

"A bunch of ingrates! They're sharing it for free and you're still complaining. If you're so capable, then don't use it!"

"I'm useless. I already knew the recipe. I just can't stand people who pretend to be nice."

Lin You munched on her bread, casually browsing the comments below the post.

When he saw someone call him an idiot, he just smiled and remained silent.

He awakened the "God-level Strategy System".

The more players he helps by posting guides, the greater his profits will be.

Hiding things?

Wouldn't that be cutting off your own source of income?

He didn't care what others thought.

Anyway, he won't lose a single piece of his flesh.

He is neither the Virgin Mary nor the Savior.

He just wanted to write a guide and take advantage of the system's features along the way.

He doesn't care what others do, nor does he want to.

The post's popularity has surged since it was published.

In just a few minutes, the number of views exceeded 100,000 and the number of replies exceeded 1,000.

System notifications rang out one after another, exploding in Lin You's ears.

[Ding! Your strategy post helped other players, earning you +1 strategy point!]

[Ding! Your strategy post helped other players, earning you +1 strategy point!]

[Ding! Your strategy guide...]

A series of notification sounds left Lin You somewhat bewildered.

He quickly opened the system panel and saw the numbers in the strategy points column jumping rapidly.

0……10……30……50……80……

Finally, the number stopped at around 100.

"One hundred points?!"

Lin You's eyes widened in disbelief.

How long has it been since he posted this?

Ten minutes? Or five minutes?

In just a short while, he earned 100 strategy points!

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the points are still slowly increasing, just not as rapidly as before.

"However, there are probably more than 100 people who have consulted the guide."

"It seems that the strategy points are not based on a 1:1 ratio with the number of views, but rather on some other ratio."

"It might be related to the player's level and progress..."

Lin You took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

"I should go check out what good stuff the stores have."

Lin You rubbed his hands together, and with a thought, opened the strategy shop.

The next moment, a simple interface appeared in front of him.

There were only three items, but each one made Lin You's heart race.

……

【Product 1: Upgrade "Beginner's Eye of Insight" → "Intermediate Eye of Insight"】

[Points consumed: 500]

[Intermediate Eye of Insight: Allows you to see more detailed information, including the enemy's specific attributes, the rarity of materials, and the location of hidden mechanisms.]

……

[Item 2: Obtain one S-rank job change card]

[Points consumed: 1000]

[S-Rank Job Change Card: Allows you to change to a powerful and unique class, and unlocks the upgrade system]

……

[Item 3: Obtain an S-grade minecart blueprint]

[Points consumed: 5000]

[S-Rank Blueprint: Randomly obtain an S-rank minecart crafting blueprint. Crafting an S-rank minecart requires a high-level crafting skill and a large amount of rare materials.]

……

Each of the three items made Lin You's mouth water.

Intermediate Eye of Insight, 500 points.

It looks like the cheapest and most practical one.

After all, what he currently possesses is the informational advantage brought by the Eye of Insight.

If he can upgrade to the intermediate level, he will see more detailed information, and the quality of his guides will definitely improve.

But the problem is...

The S-level profession and the S-level minecart blueprints were even more appealing to him!

Occupation.

These two words sent a shiver down Lin You's spine.

He had been wondering before whether survival games should have a "profession" system.

Are all players just regular players, or are there distinctions like warriors, mages, and rogues?

The system has now provided the answer.

Not only are there professions, but they are also divided into levels!

As for what specific S-rank profession one can obtain, the system says it's random.

But since it's an S-class, its lower limit won't be low.

As for the S-class minecart blueprints, they are equally enticing.

In this perilous underground world, the significance of an S-class mining truck is self-evident.

I want all three... but I don't have enough points.

Lin You scratched his head, looking somewhat conflicted.

He only has 100 points now, which isn't even enough to buy the cheapest Eye of Insight upgrade.

Not to mention S-rank professions and blueprints.

"We need to set a small goal first."

Ultimately, he made a decision.

"Don't upgrade the Eye of Insight yet, save up points to exchange for an S-rank job."

The reason he made this choice is very simple.

While the Eye of Insight is useful, it is only an auxiliary tool.

It can show him more information, but it can't make him stronger.

So what if he can see the attributes of the monsters from the depths of the earth?

If you can't beat them, you still can't beat them.

But their professions are different.

S-rank professions represent real combat power.

Only with combat capabilities can he survive longer in the treacherous inner world.

Only those who survive have the right to talk about anything else.

"A thousand points... at the current rate of increase, it shouldn't be too long."

Lin You rallied his spirits and prepared to restart the minecart and continue digging.

After all, he needs to have a lot of knowledge to write a guide.

Practice is often the best way to accumulate experience.

Just then, a new post appeared on the forum.

The post's title was brief, yet it caused Lin You's pupils to contract sharply.

Don't trust others too easily! I almost got killed by other players just now!
