Goblin Dependency-Chapter 284 - 151: Transcendent, Legendary, and the Path of Advancement_2

Chapter 284: Chapter 151: Transcendent, Legendary, and the Path of Advancement_2

From the receptionist "Moli" at the adventurer association, he learned that the destination of his professional advancement quest is most likely in the large city of "Neum" near River Valley Town.

Xia Nan thought about whether he could gather some information related to this from various channels.

After all, before this, his entire understanding of "Neum" was limited to superficial impressions like "prosperous," "commercially developed," and "the residence of the Half Elf Hai’an."

So when he ran into Adeline at the tavern earlier, he mentioned it in passing.

It’s just a pity that in these years of seeking revenge, she has mostly stayed in River Valley Town and Mist Forest.

If you asked her about goblin traits and hunting methods, she could talk non-stop all night.

But knowledge unrelated to that, she wouldn’t know much more than himself.

"Neum, huh..." Abi sighed along with the topic, "I’ve heard that every house there is built as grand and magnificent as Kalanfor’s Sun God Church."

"Exaggerated, at most only a few core streets in the city center are probably well planned."

Adeline shook her head, with a subtle smile on her face.

"However, Amanata’s church, should also be within the half of the city that was destroyed back then, right?"

"Saying it like that isn’t very auspicious."

"What do you mean?" Abi stretched his neck, retorting obstinately in a classically defiant manner, "Neum is not like Kalanfor, a small village that can barely develop by sucking the blood of River Valley Town."

"It’s a proper big city!"

"The proportion of adventurers inside might be small, but there are plenty of large organizations like churches."

"Just like the druid at the top of the task board you showed me before, just for dirtying some water, he’s got such a large bounty on his head."

"I don’t believe anyone dares to cause trouble in a place like that!"

Seeing Abi’s cheeks redden as he argued with Adeline, it seemed he was a bit drunk.

Xia Nan no longer participated in their conversation.

He scooped another two ladles of mushroom soup, pondering whether to allocate more time to [Teeth Hunting] in training later, striving to reach its full level of lv5 soon.

Or to continue developing the skill usage of [Gravity Control], at least to be able to... in battles

"Creak."

The icy cold wind of the autumn evening roared into the tavern through the door gap.

Two figures, one thin and one sturdy, appeared at the tavern entrance.

Instinctively, his gaze looked over.

With just a glance, he immediately looked away.

Indigo linen robe, wooden magic wand, an elegant appearance with an ageless look, red short hair, clad in heavy armor, expression resolute and stern.

Without a doubt, the ones entering the tavern at this moment were the team of advanced adventurers he had once encountered in the association hall.

It’s just that...

"Two of them are missing?"

He remembered when he met the others, there were also a half orc and a golden-haired elf with them.

Now, only the mage and the human warrior remained.

"Had they completed the task, dissolved the team, or was it because..."

He speculated in his mind.

Deep inside, Xia Nan couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation.

Previously, when he first met a few of them, he hadn’t acquired a professional level and was merely an ordinary low-level adventurer.

He knew they were likely powerful high-level professionals, but exactly how powerful and how much stronger they were than him, he couldn’t judge at all, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

And now, with Xia Nan having filled in the last missing piece required for promotion using [Gravity Control], he truly became the professional he once dreamed of.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the two points of "Perception" attribute points gained upon his upgrade broke through his previous limits, clearly sensing the strength of the two individuals.

Hmm, very strong.

But not to the incomprehensible extent like Barbarian Fugang.

"I wonder if they’ve reached the transcendent level."

Fugang had once mentioned to him.

On the Aifala Continent, professionals are roughly divided into three levels:

lv1-10, lv11-20, lv21, and above.

The first level, "lv1-10," is where he currently stands, nothing more to say, it’s the starting phase for professionals, the base and middle-to-lower layer of the pyramid.

The latter two are respectively called "Transcendent" and "Legendary."

To some extent, if the heroes in the myths and epics told by minstrels truly existed, then their strength would be at these two levels.

Fugang didn’t explain the specific strength scope of "Transcendent" and "Legendary" powers to him in detail.

But just from the aftermath of the battle that almost destroyed Kalanfor at that time, it was enough to prove the terror of powers at this level.

To say they are mobile "human calamities" wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Thinking about this, even as realistic as Xia Nan was in daily life, he couldn’t help but indulge in some fantasies.

If he could reach this level in the future.

Regardless of anything else, just based on [Gravity Control] alone, if he trained it to skill level lv3, or even lv5, it should produce the same effect.

After all, it’s one of the four fundamental forces of nature. If he could truly develop it, let alone a town smaller than the fifth or sixth-tier small counties of his previous world, he could aim even higher...

Xia Nan shook his head vigorously.

The crystalline wine liquid reflected his youthful face, the pathetic "1" on the skill progress bar of [Gravity Control] on the attribute panel snapped him back to reality.

As the foundation of everything, the premise of all fantasies.

Transcendent or Legendary, it doesn’t matter.

First, what he needs to know is:

—How to level up.

Yes, even until five days after becoming a professional, Xia Nan still hadn’t figured out how to improve his professional level.

Though he had an attribute panel similar to a game from his previous life, there was no accompanying experience point system.

Defeating demons, apart from increasing his combat experience and honing his battle skill proficiency, provided no other direct gains in combat power.

The profession slot [Fallen Blade Hunting] lv1, didn’t even have a progress bar following it.

Though he heard Fugang mention that professional level improvement is also related to battle skills, the specific relationship between the two was unknown to him.

And further along, getting into career transitions would be even more troublesome.

As mentioned earlier, the basic professions like "warrior" and "ranger" are widely popular across the continent precisely because of their versatility and clear advancement paths.

The conditions needed for advanced professions, whether they require auxiliary rituals, and what characteristics each possess... are all detailed and accurately recorded in profession books.

But his [Fallen Blade Hunting], though it seemed very niche and under the support of [Gravity Control], appeared to have significant professional potential.

Regarding the path ahead and what preparations he needs to make, Xia Nan knew nothing.

He didn’t even know if anyone else in this world had the same profession as him.

Considering the three battle skills required for advancement in [Fallen Blade Hunting] and the related specialty...

The possibility of that seemed extremely low.

Thinking about this, Xia Nan couldn’t help but feel a contradictory sense of relief and frustration.

Relief from the excitement of accidentally triggering a hidden profession like in previous life games, and fantasies about the profession’s future potential;

And frustration, stemming from the uncertainty of the road ahead, requiring him to explore his path across the river.

However, considering the second floor of the association open only to professionals and the [Adventurer’s Guide] previously purchased at the association’s entrance.

The association side should provide some guidance for a professional like him, who comes from a wild background.

On this point, during his afternoon communication with Moli, she had subtly mentioned this as well.

Thus, his urgent task at hand.

Is to head to Neum in five days and complete the task assigned by the association.

Then go up to the second floor and figure out how to upgrade his profession.

Preferably, also gather some intelligence on career transitions to prepare for future advancement paths.
