All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 42: Getting Acquainted

"That’s amazing! To be able to master so many Professions at once."

Hearing Lu Cang’s unreserved praise, Meizer’s weathered face flushed a little.

Meizer was a man who wore a cowboy hat and carried a Longbow on his back.

He gave a wry smile. "I can hardly call it ’mastering’ them. I only took on other jobs because I felt there was no hope of advancing in my main Profession."

"Your Talent is the truly amazing thing."

His tone was filled with genuine envy.

He had learned a bit about Lu Cang before joining his party.

Who wouldn’t admire a Demon Dao genius second only to Izparut? That was Izparut we’re talking about—the youngest Level 5 Mage on the Ruelun Continent and one of the most brilliant Magic prodigies in history.

"Besides, as an Archer, a Battle Profession, I’m only Level 2."

Lu Cang shook his head. "No, I think it’s amazing that you found a path that suits you, Brother Meizer."

"It’s not like Battle Professions are the only useful ones."

"Since you’re a Level 3 Gatherer, Brother Meizer, I’m sure lots of teams must need you."

’Heh heh... As an old-timer who navigated the workplace for many years...’

’Lu Cang was quite good at saying the right things.’

Besides, words that might sound like mere compliments had a completely different effect coming from the mouth of a child.

Meizer looked into Lu Cang’s sincere eyes.

A warmth spread through his heart.

He had originally thought Lu Cang would be a difficult genius to talk to... He never expected him to be such a heartwarming kid.

There was always a subtle barrier between a genius and an ordinary person.

Even if the genius was right beside you, you would still feel an invisible wall between you and them.

But Lu Cang’s warm attitude melted that subtle barrier away.

"Haha, that’s true! A lot of parties want me to help them with their gathering work!"

"Gosh, trying to pick which party to join each day is a real headache."

’Tsk tsk, he really is easy to sweet-talk.’

’Meizer, a couple of compliments and you’re already getting carried away.’

"Still, being able to master an extra Profession is really convenient."

"I’d like to take on a second Profession too. Do any of you have suggestions?"

Lu Cang steered the conversation back on track, asking the question he really wanted to ask.

The books did have a lot to say about this topic.

But there was a significant gap between books and reality.

Even on Earth, no one would use popular science books from a library that were several, or even decades, old as a current reference.

"A second Profession?"

Luo Si looked down in thought for a moment before saying, "Usually, people only take on a second Profession when they feel they can no longer advance in their main one."

"After all, it’s seen as a deviation from the ’Principle’."

’A deviation from the Principle.’

Lu Cang knew about this.

He had been very interested in the subject, so it was the first thing he’d looked up.

The promotion Ritual is the practice of the "Principle."

Taking on other Professions means deviating from the Principle’s original path, and subsequent promotion Rituals become much stricter.

’It’s probably like trying to get a promotion after your boss finds out you’re moonlighting...’

That was why Iz and the others wanted him to first follow the path of a Mage, reach a high rank, and only then take on another Profession.

That way, he could avoid a lot of suffering.

"But if I had to say, the Profession most related to Mage is probably Scholar."

’Scholar, huh?’

Lu Cang had read about this Profession; the librarian in Raine Town was also a Scholar.

He’d heard the librarian was a Level 4 Scholar who had read every book in the Raine Town library and could recite their contents backward and forward.

If that was true, he was indeed very scholarly.

"But in terms of combat, Healing Mage and Mage also have a lot in common. I’ve seen an Adventurer who was a Mage and multi-classed as a Healing Mage, and his performance was quite impressive."

"As for crafting-type Professions, Enchanter also requires training in Magic Power. Having Mage as your main Profession would make it twice as effective for half the effort."

’So the suggestions are Scholar, Healing Mage, and Enchanter?’

Thinking of Kumironi’s performance, Lu Cang was indeed more inclined toward the Healing Mage Profession. Being able to heal himself after getting injured would definitely boost his survivability.

Scholar wasn’t a bad choice either. The ability to acquire information more quickly would also help him rapidly build up his knowledge in this Otherworld.

As for Enchanter... he’d pass for now. Crafting Professions like Blacksmith and Enchanter seemed pretty crappy to Lu Cang.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have potential, he just felt he wouldn’t have any use for them himself for a long time, and they were a difficult way to directly increase his combat power.

"Oh, right, aren’t you Izparut’s apprentice?"

"When it comes to advice on Professions, we’re just amateurs... I hear that in the White Tower and the Life Church, they have dedicated research on this subject."

"They should have much deeper insights."

"As for my answers, I was just spitballing, haha."

After giving Lu Cang her answer, Luo Si actually felt a little embarrassed.

’Who was she to be giving advice?’

’To actually be telling Iz’s apprentice how to change Professions...’

"It’s okay, Sister Luo Si. Your advice was very helpful."

"I’ve memorized it."

"Besides, we’re all on the same team. It’s fine to just chat casually—"

"I’d really like to become friends with everyone, too."

Spoiled brats are annoying, but a kid who knows how to talk is truly endearing.

Lu Cang was living proof of this. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

They became much more willing to chat with Lu Cang, and almost any question he asked would be answered.

Even when he asked about private matters, they didn’t think he had any ulterior motives.

Communicating with people provided information that was much more up-to-date than what could be found in books.

Besides information about changing Professions,

he also learned about the profits and pay rates for a Level 3 Adventurer, what Skills they had learned, where their hometowns were, and their favorite foods.

He even found out the reason why Luo Si went bankrupt...

and somehow, the gossip about Meizer two-timing also got dug up.

The relatively quiet Trende also mentioned his happy family and even showed everyone his pocket watch, which had a photo of his wife inside.

He was out adventuring to earn money for his soon-to-be-born child.

’What a death flag...’

’Trende, I’d rather you hadn’t told me any of this.’

...

In addition, he gathered key intelligence about how Demons are formed.

Demons accompany the flow of an aura called the "Demon Tide"...

an aura, invisible to the naked eye, that exists all over the world and is in constant motion.

As this aura flows, Demons are spontaneously born out of thin air in places that living beings can’t easily observe.

The denser the Demon Tide, the more numerous and powerful the Demons that appear.

Dungeons are also generated in tandem with the Demon Tide.

However, compared to wild Demons, the generation of Dungeons is linked to many other factors, such as the month, the position of the stars, and even... the stirring of certain ancient Nests.

The Demon Tide is invisible to the naked eye.

But it can be detected through certain methods.

Every day, the Kingdom uses a special method to broadcast the daily forecast. This forecast includes not only wind, rain, thunder, lightning, temperature, and humidity, but also the flow of the Demon Tide, changes in the month, and so on...

Powerful Adventurers follow the flow of the Demon Tide to find opportunities to make money.

The direction where the Demon Tide is dense is often where Adventurers gather.

For Lu Cang, the process of subjugating Demons was more than just killing a few monsters.

Interacting with these Adventurers was also a crucial part of it.

"I see the target..."

As they neared their destination, Meizer was the first to stand up inside the carriage.

He had spotted the target, and Lu Cang followed his gaze.

Lu Cang didn’t see anything.

’Is it because of his Archer’s vision?’

Archers possess farther and clearer vision. While not comparable to a true Observer, it’s still much stronger than that of other Battle Professions.

It seemed his field of vision was indeed wider than his own.

The terrain here was a sparse forest.

The trees didn’t completely block the view, but they still made it difficult to see into the distance.

Lu Cang stood up.

The ring on his right hand glowed faintly.

This was the Space Ring he had bought at the Magic Item Shop yesterday. It cost 10 gold coins, had a cubic storage space of 27 cubic meters, and couldn’t store living things.

The light flashed, and a gray Magic Staff appeared in Lu Cang’s hand.
