The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Yunshan City, Wenjing Residential Area, Building 9, Unit 701.

This three-bedroom apartment was bought by Song Gua's parents when they were alive.

At the foot of Building 9, Song Gua met Yue Sheng, the captain of the enforcement department of the Professionals Association, who was wearing a black trench coat.

"Captain Yue, why are you taking a walk in our old, run-down neighborhood?"

Yue Sheng looked at Song Gua and said calmly, "Actually, I used to live in this neighborhood too."

"Oh? Captain Yue is from Yunshan City?"

"I've been here before I went to Tokyo to study at a vocational college."

"You've come to our neighborhood to reminisce? I noticed you kept looking towards my house, so I thought you were looking for me."

"I also came to see you while I was at it."

A sense of vigilance arose in Song Gua's heart.

A few hours ago, in the first-tier dungeon area of ​​Yunshan City, Captain Yue used True Sight to check his own stats.

He knew he was still a Bondage user and had not changed jobs.

Although returning to the city is relatively safer, it's only relatively safe.

Song Gua doesn't want others to know that his profession hasn't changed.

In that case, those with ulterior motives would suspect that he possesses a job-changing token.

As the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.

Song Gua didn't want to live in constant fear, unable to even sleep soundly.

Song Gua began to probe the captain's intentions by asking questions.

"Oh right, I haven't thanked you enough for covering for me in the dungeon."

Yue Sheng laughed and said, "It's a small matter. I don't want a promising talent to be ruined because of those scoundrels."

"Does your statement represent the official position?"

"Only speaking for myself. The official... the only official body in this world is the Blue Star Federation. This behemoth won't care about a little genius in a small city."

"Why did Captain Yue help me?"

"Just consider it a fellow townsman's friendship. I am honored to see such an outstanding new talent from my hometown."

"It's that simple?"

"Otherwise, do you think I'm some kind of Zhao family trying to win you over? Even if I wanted you to follow me, it wouldn't work. If you want to be my team member, you'd have to go through layers of selection and rigorous assessments, starting from the local law enforcement team and gradually earning merits to get promoted."

Captain Yue Sheng was quite humorous. Song Gua smiled and felt that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

"Oh, by the way, I have something for you."

Yue Sheng took out a badge-shaped object from his backpack.

Using the information viewing function, Song Gua took a closer look and saw the information about the object displayed before him.

[Secret Treasure Information]

【Name: Confusion】

[Quality: Legendary (Gold)]

【Effect:

—It can selectively display its own information or hide it completely, and can block any reconnaissance methods.

—When dealing damage, you can choose to display the damage type from among physical damage, magical damage, true damage, and shield loss.

Secret treasure.

A special type of equipment.

It does not occupy an equipment slot and has no wearing requirements.

It doesn't provide any attributes, skills, or passives, but it will provide some special effects.

The Eye of True Sight I saw before was a kind of secret treasure.

Secret treasures can only be obtained from high-level dungeons, restricted areas, or large bosses such as world bosses and field bosses, and the probability is very low.

Legendary treasures are even rarer.

Yue Sheng's generosity left Song Gua somewhat at a loss.

"Captain, this is...?"

"You need this."

"I need it, but this thing... I can't afford it."

"Hahaha……"

Yue Sheng laughed heartily, casually tossing the badge directly onto Song Gua's body.

"I'm giving this to you in the hope that it will help you grow. That's all I can do. How you walk your own path from now on is up to you."

Song Gua touched the badge on his chest; it had an excellent texture and was indeed a legendary treasure.

Wearing this, others won't even be able to see your rank.

However, Song Gua does not intend to hide all the levels.

That would make people suspect that he possesses something valuable that can even conceal his level, and it would attract covetousness.

"Captain, then I'll gladly accept it."

"Don't be shy, and don't overthink it. This thing is very precious to you, but it's useless to me. Just consider it a favor I'm doing for you."

It's impossible for someone like Song Gua not to think too much.

Even the clone knows that there is no such thing as kindness without a reason.

He may have meant well, but there must be a reason.

Just because I lived in this neighborhood when I was a child?

so funny.

Song Gua and Yue Sheng exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Although the two are more than twenty years apart in age.

However, since Song Gua was actually quite old and had lived two lives, they actually got along very well.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

The three men, including Xuezi, arrived in the old town of Yunshan City, near a slum.

The three hid in a dark alley, looking around furtively like thieves.

"There are a lot of thieves in this area at night, let's find a suitable villain to target here."

Huozi asked, "Are there any rapists? I'm more interested."

Blood Brother: "..."

Monkey King pointed to a food stall and said, "It looks like some thugs are causing trouble over there. Let's take action!"

Blood Brother grabbed him.

"Wait a minute, we need to plan our entrance, otherwise it won't be in line with the high-class image of our Grand Slam."

"How should it be designed?"

"Let's leave it at that for now..."

When awakening a profession in the Temple of Professions, 70% of the participants are in the Life Skills category.

Although it's a profession related to daily life, you can gain experience by doing things related to your profession.

On the one hand, this kind of upgrade is extremely slow.

On the other hand, not everyone's livelihood-making profession is directly related to their actual occupation.

It's like a poor person from a slum who dreams of becoming a pianist, but he has no means to learn the piano and can't even find a suitable profession.

Therefore, there are many people in the population who spend their entire lives at level zero or with only a few levels.

For this type of person, they can be regarded as ordinary people in the professional world.

Combat-type professions possess innate physical strength, making them invincible to ordinary people.

In addition, the Yunshan City Police Department often appears as a mere shell.

This has led to situations where, in places like slums where public order is more chaotic, it is common for combat-oriented thugs to bully those skilled in life skills.
