June 20, 4:15 PM.
Bai Xiao set off to continue his part-time job as a delivery worker.
Being a delivery worker really has no barriers to entry. As long as one is more familiar with the delivery routes and knows the various districts and factories, one can manage quite well. The only hardship during the process is dealing with various weather conditions and the potential dangers of biking.
Bai Xiao, who knew the ropes, started to complete his delivery tasks one by one.
He was seen riding his e-bike through various universities, nearby residential areas, office buildings, and factories, steadily gaining professional experience.
[Profession: Delivery Worker LV.1 (49/100)]
[Skill 1: E-bike Driving LV.2 (1/200)]
[Skill 2: City Route Mastery LV.1 (79/100)]
This was the professional panel of the delivery worker after yesterday's deliveries had ended.
Today, Bai Xiao had gained a considerable amount of professional experience again.
8:01 PM, and there was a little time left until the end of his shift.
[Your profession 'Delivery Worker', experience +14]
[Your professional skill 'E-bike Driving' experience +18]
[Your professional skill 'City Route Mastery' experience +21]
[Your professional skill 'City Route Mastery' has leveled up to LV.2]
While driving his e-bike, Bai Xiao slowly reduced his speed.
His gaze fixed straight ahead, where he saw the display on his retina.
[Profession: Delivery Worker LV.1 (63/100)]
[Skill 1: E-bike Driving LV.2 (19/200)]
[Skill 2: City Route Mastery LV.2 (1/200)]
Having both professional skills reach level two gave him a sense of gradual improvement and joy. Visible progress was pleasurable.
Just now, Bai Xiao had tried applying the 'Pure Heart' talent to his Delivery Worker profession. The effect was excellent, making him more focused while driving the e-bike, and the city routes felt like a map poured into his mind. If 'Pure Heart' talent could be put into words, it was like giving Bai Xiao a cool-headed rational buff.
It allowed him to grasp the core points of anything instantly.
Indeed, using the 'Pure Heart' talent had significantly enhanced his professional experience gain. The day was not over yet, but Bai Xiao had already gained much more professional experience than yesterday. The only disappointment was that he couldn't use the 'Pure Heart' talent continuously.
Today, he had used it for a long time during the fighting training class and briefly while delivering, which had completely triggered the cooldown of the talent. Whenever Bai Xiao tried to activate the talent, his brain would feel a sharp pain, clearly indicating that his will couldn't bear it anymore.
This was still with Bai Xiao's Will Attribute at 10.8, higher than ordinary people.
"It's a pity. I wanted to try tonight whether I could use the 'Pure Heart' talent to accelerate the activation of my security guard profession. Looks like I have to wait until tomorrow…" Bai Xiao said regretfully as he continued to check his panel.
He scrutinized it with the mindset of an old farmer inspecting his fields.
Two professions.
Main profession: Fighter, secondary profession: Delivery Worker.
Four-dimensional attributes.
Power 10.1, Speed 9.6, Physique 9.8, Will 10.8.
Three professional skills.
Sandboxing, E-bike Driving, City Route Mastery.
When his gaze reached the end, Bai Xiao's eyes suddenly fixed.
[Skill 1: E-bike Driving LV.2 (19/200)]
(Extractable)
[Skill 2: City Route Mastery LV.2 (1/200)]
(Extractable)
When had these (Extractable) labels appeared behind the two professional skills? The (Extractable) label glowed with a dim red.
"Isn't this the mod I installed and downloaded!?"
"I thought it hadn't been brought over along with the professional panel…"
"Now, I've really hit the jackpot!!!"
Bai Xiao was extremely excited, the fatigue in his eyes completely vanished.
As he focused his attention on the (Extractable) label.
Swish!
A rudimentary modifier, like a plugin, instantly popped up.
Dark red in color, it resembled a hacked mod shared by netizens.
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Feature 1: Extract professional experience and convert it to potential points]
[Feature 2: Invest potential points to enhance the skill level of your profession]
[Potential Points: 0]
"The familiar feeling, it's back!"
Bai Xiao clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Use the experience from various menial jobs to nurture the growth of your core profession!
This is the purpose of the Dark Red Modifier.
For instance, he could now use the experience from his deliveryman profession to nurture his Fighter profession! No time to waste, let's test the specific effects first.
"Dark Red, extract!"
Bai Xiao focused, and instantly used the Dark Red Modifier.
The two professional skills of the deliveryman profession blurred and twisted.
The next second, a bright red light exploded before his eyes.
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Potential Points: 2]
"That feels good."
Bai Xiao saw the familiar scene and completely relaxed.
His gaze returned to the deliveryman profession. The two LV.2 skills had not reverted to LV.1, but the extractable marker had disappeared. In other words, the skills from which experiences had been extracted by the Dark Red Modifier wouldn't regress, and Bai Xiao could continue to upgrade his deliveryman profession.
"Huff..."
Bai Xiao exhaled a steam of hot air and turned to look at the rearview mirror.
Reflected in it was a face transitioning from excitement back to calm.
Sharp eyebrows as if chiseled by a blade, deep-set features filled with shadows.
In his eyes, dark as ebony wood, lay repressed desire.
Bai Xiao took a piece of gum from his pocket and started chewing it.
As a refreshing feeling flooded his mouth, the electric scooter started moving forward again.
Beihai Road, Sunshine District, Number 136.
In a slightly cramped rental room, the cold moonlight streamed through the half-open curtains, casting trembling shadows of trees outside onto the gray-white wall. The glass window was ajar, letting in a continuous stream of fresh air that carried a hint of earthiness and coolness.
"Beep beep..."
Vehicles passed on the street outside, their headlights flickering momentarily.
Click, the door opened.
Tap, the light was switched on.
Bai Xiao, weary from the road, returned home and tidied himself up briefly.
Then he sat on the bed, staring blankly ahead.
[Potential Points: 2]
Two potential points, right before his eyes.
And the Sandboxing Skill of his main profession, Fighter, also displayed a marker.
[Profession: Fighter LV.1 (2/100)]
[Special Ability: Pure Heart]
[Skill: Introduction to Sandboxing (9/100)] +
A small plus sign indicated that the Sandboxing Skill could be directly improved.
Bai Xiao hesitated, wondering whether to use the points now.
Theoretically, having just activated the Fighter profession and just begun Sandboxing, now was the time when progress would be fastest. Even without forcefully adding potential points, the skill could upgrade quickly over time.
This way, the resource allocation efficiency could be maximized.
However, after a moment of consideration, Bai Xiao decided to add the points directly!
He believed that stronger means more efficient.
The learning efficiency of someone moderately skilled in Sandboxing would definitely surpass someone just introduced to it. The higher the mastery, the quicker the learning—this was an absolute truth. A billionaire growing their wealth by 0.01% daily and an ordinary person whose assets suddenly increase by 100% from winning a lottery might seem more dramatic percentage-wise for the latter.
But in absolute terms, the billionaire's 0.01% is ten million, while the ordinary person's 100% is just one hundred thousand. The difference is a hundredfold!
After clarifying everything, Bai Xiao concentrated his attention without hesitation.
"Dark Red, boost me!"
