All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 44: Special Species

The second one...

What followed was quite simple.

Once again, Meizer went to harvest the spoils.

This haul wasn’t as bountiful as the last, but it still yielded 12 Gold Coins.

During this hunt, Lu Cang’s "Ice Shuttle" also successfully reached Level 200.

’So easy...’

The Healing Mage and the Defender felt like their only job was to sit in the cart and watch the kid’s performance.

That, and keeping him company.

’Have we been demoted to his chatting companions?’

The third Demon was an Ice Crystal Winged Bird, circling at a low altitude.

This type of flying Demon was extremely troublesome for some parties.

But for Lu Cang, it was much simpler.

The second evolution of Ice Shuttle was Speed.

「High-speed Ice Shuttle (Level 201) — Extraordinary Speed」

BANG!

The moment the Ice Shuttle launched, it created a sonic boom!

It pierced through the Ice Crystal Winged Bird’s wings almost the instant it materialized beside Lu Cang.

Its wings were riddled with dozens of holes, instantly robbing it of most of its ability to fly. A follow-up with [Silent Wind Swarm] finished it off easily and smoothly.

This Ice Crystal Winged Bird... was worth 16 Gold Coins in collected materials.

Lu Cang took the opportunity to ask about Yakadikto while they were on the road.

"Is it useful to worship Yakadikto...?" Luo Si mused, pressing her temples.

Finally, she answered seriously, "If I had to say, it’s really just for good luck."

Lu Cang asked in a skeptical tone, "Just for good luck?"

Luo Si nodded confidently. "There’s no evidence to suggest that sacrificing money to Yakadikto will grant you some kind of unexpected good fortune."

"However, since the Harvest Moon is a rare, prosperous month out of the twelve, everyone hopes to make a fortune during it."

"So, they place their fondest hopes in Yakadikto."

"Over time, this developed into the custom of worshipping Yakadikto during the Harvest Moon."

"But in reality, no matter which month it is, there are always people who worship that month’s Moon."

Lu Cang pressed on, "Even December?"

December.

The month of Death and Destruction.

The Moon: Bai.

A god considered taboo by the continent—not to be worshipped, not to have Divine Halls built, not to be believed in.

Anyone discovered believing in or worshipping it would be sentenced.

"Mhm."

"There are some."

Lu Cang felt there was nothing more to ask on that topic.

Suddenly, he thought of Luo Si’s Profession.

"Oh, right!"

"Big Sis, you can do Divination, right?"

Luo Si nodded, lacking confidence. "Mhm... I’m a Level 1 Divination Master."

"But my accuracy isn’t very high, since I’m only Level 1."

Lu Cang asked, "Could you try doing a Divination for me?"

Luo Si thought for a moment. "Hmm, I don’t see why not."

As she spoke, a bamboo tube for drawing lots appeared in her hand.

Lu Cang peered inside the tube.

It was filled with crumpled balls of paper.

"Go ahead and grab one."

’Huh?’

"I mean, you just grab one, and whatever is written on the paper inside, that’s your fortune."

Lu Cang was speechless.

’Wait, *this* is a Divination Master?’

’Even if you don’t use abstruse things like the Six Trigrams and Eight Diagrams, Plum Blossom Divination, or Turtle Shells...’

’...you should at least have some Tarot Cards, a Crystal Ball, or do an Astrological Position reading...’

’In a pinch... even playing cards would do.’

’No way, your tube should at least have proper divination sticks, right?’

’What the hell are these paper balls?’

’They’re just crinkled wads of paper, not even folded neatly?’

Sensing his silence, Luo Si seemed to guess what Lu Cang was thinking.

She blushed and said, "I’m not a professional Divination Master, and I haven’t learned any orthodox Divination Skills."

"Divination Skills are really expensive! Are you drawing one or not? If not, forget it."

As she spoke, Luo Si started to put the tube away.

"Wait!"

"Big Sis, I’m just curious about the principle behind how Divination works."

"I’ll draw one."

’Heh.’

’So she can get embarrassed...’

’But are Divination Skills really that expensive? I’m actually quite interested in the Divination Master Profession. After all, it sounds like a Profession that can predict the Future.’

Lu Cang casually drew a paper ball.

"What should I do now, Big Sis?"

Lu Cang asked, just in case he got the steps wrong.

Luo Si seemed a little embarrassed as she mumbled, "Just open it and see."

’It really is... as simple as I thought.’

Lu Cang opened the paper ball.

Written on it were three words—Supreme Good Fortune.

"What is it? What did you get?"

Luo Si was also curious about the result and leaned over to look at the paper Lu Cang had drawn. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Supreme... Good Fortune."

"Wow! You actually drew the luckiest result!"

Lu Cang asked, "The luckiest?"

"Mhm, my homemade fortune tube has 128 different outcomes written in it, and this is the highest level of good luck."

’Huh... 128 different kinds?’

’Can you even write 128 variations of good and bad luck?’

"This is the first time I’ve ever seen this result."

"But aren’t there only 128 kinds?"

Luo Si said, "A Divination’s result can’t be calculated by probability, you know."

"I’ve done Divinations for hundreds of people, and this is the first time I’ve seen ’Supreme Good Fortune’."

"Even if my Divination results aren’t very accurate, if you drew this, your luck probably won’t be bad."

Lu Cang sensed the spoils within his Ring.

’That’s true.’

’Today’s haul has been a massive one.’

The loot he obtained was basically four or five times the expected baseline.

He glanced up at the celestial phenomena outside the cart’s window; the sky was still scrolling by like a painted Scroll—

...

Along the way, Lu Cang chatted a lot more with them.

Unlike the Adventurers from Raine Town, they were the type who traveled long-distance across the world.

Their experiences and knowledge were much broader than those from Raine Town, and Lu Cang felt he had learned a great deal from talking with them.

For example, powerful Mages usually had their Magic Wands custom-made by professional Magic Craftsmen. The cheapest orthodox Divination Skill cost at least Ten Thousand Gold Coins, making Divination a money-burning Profession.

Or how being an Adventurer was tough these days, and it might be better to pick up the Blacksmith Profession and forge iron...

’You really can hear that kind of talk in any world.’

They also mentioned how Gatherers were always suspected of hiding loot, and some places were even starting to require Gatherers to sign contracts.

From their conversations, Lu Cang felt like he was hearing the true state of the world.

It was a completely different feeling from when he was with Iz and the others.

One was about legends and dreams.

The other was about reality and life.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

The subjugations continued, but it was almost entirely Lu Cang’s solo performance.

By noon, he had already taken care of eight Tier Three Lord Level Demons.

Including the reward for completing the commission, his earnings had already reached 144 Gold Coins.

This was an amount an ordinary Level 2 Adventurer wouldn’t even dare to dream of...

"The last one is just ahead."

Lu Cang looked at the commission request.

The last one was a commission marked as B- Level. Although it was also a Tier Three Lord, it was a Special Species.

Regarding Special Species, Lu Cang roughly understood them to be like elite monsters.

They were stronger than common types, and after being killed, they had a high probability of yielding very valuable loot to be collected.

The Elements are in turmoil—

Lu Cang could feel the air currents accelerating significantly.

As the Defender, Trende had already raised his shield and was protecting Lu Cang.

’It feels like... we’re close.’
