[Professional skills (runner), spatial perception lv1: You can sense fluctuations in the surrounding space. 】
[Acquire professional skills (Gardener), Psychopathy lv1: You can sense the spirit of life around you.]
With the breakthrough in mental attributes, these two skills popped up on Lu Ping'an's panel.
"... Judging from the description, they are all qualification-type passive abilities that say 'you can do so-and-so'. With these, the door will be open for you."
Their appearance is not accidental.
Only when your mental power reaches a certain level can you have the possibility to externally perceive the surrounding space and life.
Others must first meet the hardware standards before they can gradually hone their skills and train their mental power to perceive the outside world and master professional skills.
However, Lu Ping An has accumulated experience and can use it if the conditions are met.
But now, happiness comes so quickly, but it makes Lu Pingping a little worried.
"Originally, there was only one choice: the runner, but it turns out the gardener can do it too. Which one should I do first?"
[Black iron-level spell Shukuchi, requirements for use: chasing light running method LV4 (direction of thunderstorm), flash breathing method lv4 (direction of tiger's anger), space perception lv1, Shukuchi experience 100/100.]
The parts of the runner have been assembled, and Lu Ping'an can feel that with just one thought, he can master Shukuchi and complete the advancement from mortal to supernatural.
However, the gardener's components were almost assembled without even realizing it!
[Black iron-level spell Listen to Life, conditions for use: planting (taboo) lv4, mental perception lv1, and have personally cultivated 10 first-level or above magic plants. 】
Although the last condition is very delicate, after asking Chris about her safety, I am sure that I meet the requirement.
His current gardener professional skills are planting level 3 (88/100) and grafting level 1 (12/100).
Although it's not up to the lv4 standard, it will definitely be enough if nothing unexpected happens after the distribution tomorrow.
"I originally thought that gardeners would have to wait a long time, but I miscalculated. The training of gardeners and runners are not the same thing, and not all professional skills increase equally."
A runner's "running method" and "breathing method" will be exercised as long as they run, and they will naturally increase on average. Lu Pingan subconsciously regards this as the normal state of professional training.
Gardeners are obviously partial to science. Ninety-nine percent of low-level gardeners can only plant and cultivate magic plants.
Grafting and transforming magic plants? That is the daily work of the boss and researcher.
Not to mention that the transformation of most magic plants, grafting fails, and the resources consumed are simply beyond the reach of low-level professionals. The "knowledge" required for transformation is the most expensive cost.
Even the gardener's first-level professional ability does not require "grafting" as the basis, which shows that this is indeed a relatively late professional skill.
Lu Ping'an's "Grafting (Pollution)" was able to break through to level 1 and gain 12 experience points, thanks to the hard work of Ms. Zhao Ying who stayed up late to do the project and write the paper.
Judging from the results, it was the abnormal partiality of the low-level gardeners, and the blessing share of the secret realm of life, which allowed Lu Ping'an's "Planting (Taboo)" to achieve more than double the expected growth, and later reached the advanced standard.
"Chris, listen to life... Is this the gardener's professional ability of 'communicating with plants' that you mentioned?"
"Yes, but it must be combined with another professional ability, which is communication rather than one-sided listening. But you will know when you advance. It is enough for a low-level gardener to listen. It is actually no different from communication."
"So, any suggestions? Which one should I advance to first?"
Lu Ping'an is eager to try, and becoming a superpower is also full of temptation for him.
Rather than waiting for the gardener tomorrow, he wants to complete the advancement now.
"...Didn't I tell you? The most important thing for a professional is checks and balances..."
"Two of them together? I heard from others that every time you advance, it is a qualitative change of pollution impact. Do you need to wait for a long time?"
Lu Ping'an has heard that professional advancement is a controllable mutation. Even if many people advance successfully, they will lose half their lives and often have to rest for several months or even half a year.
"You said it was 'someone else'... The gardener comes first. It is your main path now. It is the strongest one among the tangled vines. It needs to take root deep enough.
."
"Is this why you want me to have no more than three part-time jobs before deciding on my main path?"
"Not completely, there are many other reasons, but you don't need to know it now, and you can't understand it..."
The remaining words were of little significance. After determining the direction, Lu Ping'an's plan was finalized.
After agreeing with Xue En on the plan to return at noon tomorrow, Lu Ping'an took a good rest and prepared to go to bed.
The waiting time is always full of anxiety. When the agreed time arrived, Lu Ping'an completed his qualitative change and took that step.
"It turns out it's so simple..."
Ignore the system prompts that keep refreshing the screen, but when Lu Pingping activates his "superpower", the whole world becomes different.
All life came alive. The originally peaceful forest turned out to be so noisy.
The bright flowers sway gently in the wind, and the wild gardens are bright and prosperous, but they are rushing to talk to the bees.
"My nectar is the most delicious, please help me pollinate and reproduce."
The giant trees rising from the ground are tall and majestic, and they gather into a forest of green trees, supporting each other, but in reality, they are roaring at their companions around them.
"My sunshine! That is my sunshine. I want to grow tallest and get more light."
Large expanses of grass and thousands of plants seemed to be making the same sound.
"water."
"Food (nutrition)."
"Sunlight."
"My territory (living space)."
In the first fresh world, Lu Ping'an was only moved for a moment before being pulled back to the mortal world by the astonishing noise that surpassed any vegetable market.
All plants are calling for the resources they need for survival. Survival and reproduction are the only themes of this forest.
"...Whoever calls me a 'selfless plant' again from now on will be fooled by me."
But at this time, Lu Pingan also knew why Chris said "listening to life" was enough for her own use.
These plants, which only seek survival resources, have no basis for communication with intelligent creatures.
In fact, they do not speak, have no vocal organs, and do not even have the tools for logical thinking.
It's just Lu Ping'an's mental induction that captured their instinctive "desire" and materialized it.
For novice gardeners, this is a very useful ability. When your flowers are clamoring for water, sunlight and pests, the difficulty of taking care of them will be greatly reduced.
[The professional ability Listen to Life (Black Iron Lower Spell) has been awakened. Please reverse anchor it as soon as possible to determine the direction of the cost of the ability. Otherwise, it is possible to determine the 'cost' by yourself. 】
At this moment, the system's forced intervention is very unwise.
But Lu Ping'an knew that he couldn't wait any longer. If it was really "random", the fun would be great.
"Anchor death, the sacrifice is right in front of you..."
There are checks and balances between professions. In order to prevent professional abilities from getting out of control, internal checks and balances are also needed, but this kind of checks and balances is regarded by many people as a "cost".
Under normal circumstances, the object anchored by the ability is a competitor or enemy of the same type.
That is to say, life system abilities like Lu Ping'an must either be anchored (competed) by other gods of the life system, or they must find the opposite of the life system, the death system.
Just like the shovel before Lu Ping An, the price is the death system... In a sense, life and death are two sides of the same body, and they are also classified into one of the six major systems (life/
death system).
[Ask the host to determine the sacrifice and perform the anchoring ceremony manually. 】
The ritual of reverse anchoring is quite simple, and the gods are happy to create obstacles for enemies and competitors.
Lu Ping'an just killed something at random, and then chanted the name of God to complete the anchoring.
But in an instant, the system refreshed the screen again, and it actually made the "price" that should be random and random become optional!
Lu Ping'an only glanced at the three projects and secretly felt lucky that he could actually choose.
"No wonder secret keepers value privacy and integrity so much. Some of the costs are really fatal, while others are just a little troublesome. If you are unlucky, a price may be fatal... so to speak.
, the stronger the ability, the more weaknesses there are actually?"
"The price must be well hidden."
The anchoring was completed after selection, but Lu Pingping noticed a surprise, or in other words, shock on the system panel.
[The host completed the advancement of his subordinate’s gardener path in the secret realm of the Girl in the Forest. Since this advancement is the host’s first official entry into the job, the host obtained the master of the secret realm, the daughter of the forest (the simulated personality of the will of the secret realm).
Blessings for new life.】
[The Life Master Blessing of the Daughter of the Forest (Black Iron Level): Greatly increases the affinity between the blessed and the magic plant, increasing its controllability. Note: This blessing will dissipate after one day, but the effect lasts for a long time
Being greatly increased, equivalent to silver blessing.】
[Message: Sister loves you, whatever you want to do, just do it! 】
Lin Ping'an was stunned, even frightened.
Is this a coincidence? Or has He really seen through everything?
"That bitch who is pretending to be a ghost! This is her usual method. Those who are employed as gardeners in her secret realm for the first time will receive a continuous short-term blessing. Don't take it seriously."
Chrissy’s comfort was very timely.
But she actually had some doubts on the isolated island.
"...Don't blessings for new students always give some long-term and ineffective garbage blessings, small favors to win people's hearts? These are short-term explosive, right? Is it really... There is no reason,
She doesn't have the ability to see through it! Besides, if she had seen through it, she would have killed her long ago!"
The road outside is safe but I feel at ease. I have special powers, so I naturally want to try them out more.
Ordinary plants didn't mean much, so he turned to his own magic plants as the objects to use his abilities on.
"Sure enough, you are also craving resources for survival and reproduction."
"Huh? It's strange, apart from water and nutrients, you are still craving for me? What do you need from me? You can't accept the life points a second time."
"...Oh, the thing in my warehouse? Essence of life? It turns out that this is how it is used...Interesting, so interesting!"
Lu Pingan smiled, he had already seen what would happen next.
"Okay, Sister Goddess, maybe what you guessed is true. You will have fun watching it soon."
