"… Although in this world, becoming a combat profession can lead to better prospects, lifestyle professions and enhancement professions also have great potential."
"Especially enhancement professions, some wealthy students only need to practice diligently and improve their skill proficiency, and they will be sought after wherever they go, not inferior to combat professions, and even surpassing them…"
On the stage, the 30-something class teacher Li Qun was passionately giving the final mobilization meeting before the Transcendence ceremony.
Although what he said were things all the students in the class already knew, everyone still listened attentively, not missing a single word.
Because today was the day when all the senior high school students would undergo the Transcendence ritual.
Sitting in the corner of the class, Lu Fan was also excited, looking forward to the upcoming Transcendence ceremony.
He was a transmigrator, having come from the Blue Star three years ago.
In these three years, he had gained a clear understanding of this world.
It was a world where reality and games were blended together, an area thousands of times larger than the Blue Star.
In this world, there were countless secret realms and dungeons, with monsters running rampant.
And everyone could gain experience points, materials, and even equipment by hunting monsters to strengthen themselves.
At the same time, this world had also evolved various professions, and everyone could undergo Transcendence at level 10 to obtain greater abilities.
Each country has set up schools in various places to cultivate how every young person can survive in this world, with the school teachers leading the students to the beginner secret realms and the wilderness to fight, gain experience, and strive to reach level 10 before the Transcendence ceremony at the age of 18.
There are many types of professions in this world, which can be roughly divided into three categories.
One is the combat professions, which are professions with combat capabilities, such as warriors, mages, and archers.
The second category is the enhancement professions.
This type of profession has fewer people who transcend, but their abilities are extremely powerful, as they can create some amplification-type special items to further empower the combat professions.
The more common enhancement professions are enchanters, magic item crafters, and alchemists.
Although enhancement professions are also popular, the creation of amplification items requires a massive amount of materials, and generally, there are no big families to support them, so it's almost impossible to cultivate noteworthy enhancement professionals.
As for the last category, it is the bottom of the pyramid and the most common profession - the lifestyle professions.
These professions are relatively common, such as chefs, herbalists, and miners.
Transcending into these professions, one can only become an ordinary person in this life, and being able to barely make ends meet and survive is already quite good.
For example, Lu Fan's aunt in this world, Han Ke, is a chef.
Lu Fan is an orphan, and he has lived with this aunt, who is eight years older than him, since he was young, and their life has been extremely difficult. Lu Fan's aunt initially transcended into the most ordinary chef profession, but later saved up a lot of money to buy a recipe for steamed buns that can restore a small amount of health, and then opened a steamed bun shop to earn money to make a living.
It was also relying on this steamed bun shop that Han Ke was able to raise Lu Fan.
Lu Fan thus knows that if he cannot transcend into a powerful combat profession, it will be extremely difficult to survive in this world.
In these three years, he has seen too much of the hardship his aunt went through to support his studies.
So Lu Fan's wish is to be able to transcend into a combat profession, so that he can have the ability to farm monsters in the wild, sell materials, or venture into dungeons to obtain equipment, and let his aunt live a better life.
"… I just received the news that the Transcendence platform has been set up, everyone maintain order and follow me to the playground!" Li Qun's words pulled Lu Fan back from his contemplation.
In the class, everyone's emotions were high - finally, it was time to undergo Transcendence!
The future would depend on today!
Lu Fan remained silent as he prepared to follow everyone to the playground, when suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
"Ding - Detected a qualified host, the Super Treasure Map System is binding…"
"Ding - Super Treasure Map System binding successful!"
It's the system!
Sure enough, it's a standard equipment for transmigrators, although it took three years to arrive, but Lu Fan knows that good food is never late.
Lu Fan restrained his excitement, following everyone to the playground to prepare for the Transcendence, while also exploring the functions of his system.
Soon, Lu Fan had mastered the basics - his system is simple, he will receive a treasure map every day, and he only needs to reach the location marked on the treasure map to obtain the reward.
The treasure maps are divided into five levels: basic, intermediate, advanced, legendary, and divine. It is not certain what level of map he will receive each day, and the digging locations are also not fixed.
If there are treasure maps with particularly distant coordinates that are inconvenient to dig, Lu Fan can also fuse these maps with other maps of the same level, and every three maps can be fused into a higher level map.
