Chapter 4, A New Beginning

The background has been established

Compared to expertise, the benefits brought by skills are still greater. Lu Yuanqiang suppressed his desire to allocate points. There are many points, and more are needed for allocation, so it is better to save them for when training can no longer level up. The skills after the current enhancements are already sufficient for his use

The skills have been determined, and you have gained 44 skill points at level one

Lu Yuan was still immersed in joy, no wonder he had an exceptional memory. With an intelligence attribute of 18, it was almost the highest initial attribute for a character! Now, with an additional +5 adjustment from knowledge of another world, was this the rhythm of a mage becoming a deity?

Intelligence: 23

... ...

Willpower Exemption (Low Level): This exemption reflects the ability to resist mental influences and special effects. Willpower checks are related to perception

Upon seeing the option, I instinctively selected "Yes"

Perception: 14

The system is a trump card of one's own, meant for self-preservation as well as for counterattacks

... ...

Age: 15

Lu Yuan gives up

Expertise

Lu Yuan snapped his fingers, and a bright orb of light appeared above the screen, dancing in accordance with the movements of his fingers

Background: Mage Apprentice [+1 Observation Spell, +1 Knowledge, +1 Alchemy, -1 Fortitude Check, -1 Perception]

Looking at the list of dozens of options that came out with a clatter, Lu Yuan was... shocked! Why is it all garbled text!

Health: 15 / 16

This has always been your dream, to bid farewell to being a gay man and become a homebody instead

The attributes have been determined

The Crisis of Life

He speculated that Lu Yuan had just recovered from his injuries and was filled with a sense of fear towards alchemical tasks, and would not take on high-risk assignments for a while, which was quite common in the past. Those who could not endure would soon leave completely, giving up on their dreams of becoming a mage. The tasks that Lu Yuan had just received were all nearing their deadlines, while the new ones were still in the cabinet. He pushed the tasks out, smiling and comforting Lu Yuan with a few words. Lu Yuan accepted them all with a smile, remaining silent. In the following day, Lu Yuan transported various materials, delivered books and letters, while secretly hiding some magical materials with his nails and the corners of his clothes, or quickly flipping through books along the way, using his photographic memory to memorize the content, which was also a source of extra income.

The "Thief" is quite good, with versatile skills, and the primary attribute of agility aligns well with Lu Yuan's attributes. Unfortunately, what he needs right now is self-preservation ability, so this must be set aside for the time being

I do not know how these specialties and skills are put into practice

It has been too long, really too long! Resolve it quickly! Do not get entangled in the issue of whether it is a man or a woman!

From the newly acquired knowledge of alchemy, Lu Yuan learned that whether casting "Frost Ray" on a freezing potion or slowly guiding magical energy into a wand, any enchanting operation on an object will implicitly harm the health or lifespan of the caster. In the game, this is reflected as the consumption of experience points, and in severe cases, it can lead to a drop in level. But this is reality; thinking of those formal mages working in this field, many of them resemble consumptive patients, which sends a chill down Lu Yuan's spine.

Proficiency in Weapons (Military): This specialization allows for the effective use of all military weapons, such as longswords, flails, longbows, and great scythes

Lu Yuan recalled the explosion incident, and the bottle of extract that was slightly different from usual made him break out in a cold sweat. It turned out that he had already been schemed against once! He had not even realized it! How careless he had been! However, thinking back to that cunning boy from the countryside, he probably could not have imagined the treachery of human nature due to his lack of social experience

Exemption Inspection

Formally Become a Mage

Choose to be a wandering swordsman in employment

It is widely rumored that the alchemist's poor health is due to the erosion caused by magical materials, which is why most of the material processing work is entrusted to apprentices. However, no one has considered that, alongside the infusion of magical power during the enchanting process, life force is also being infused!

... ...

Upon detection, you have established faith in the God of Knowledge, Ouma

Agility: 19

However, there is no need to hesitate! The law master has arrived!

Choose expertise

Proficient Weaponry: This specialization allows individuals to use light weapons more effectively, enabling them to substitute agility for strength in making effective attacks. Light weapons generally refer to commonly used weapons that weigh less than 4 pounds

"Spellbinding Wonders" specializing in weapons (rapier)

Specialization in Weapons (Rapier): The character will be particularly skilled in using the rapier as a weapon. When using the rapier, both accuracy and damage will be increased

Calm down! Calm down! Lu Yuan slapped his cheeks with his hands to steady himself. Lu Yuan was originally a mid-level manager in a large enterprise, so he shouldn't be so easily flustered. However, the inability to merge the memories of two worlds, combined with the sudden surprise of his newfound abilities, caused his emotions to fluctuate dramatically.

Gender: Male

From the beginning to the end, and then from the end back to the beginning, there are only four professions to choose from— "Warrior," "Rogue," "Wandering Swordsman," and "Fighter!" Above the "Fighter," there is a large red text that reads "Advanced Profession, Insufficient Conditions"

Character Attributes

Your life is already under threat, what are you waiting for? Find the source and eliminate it

Charm: 14

Skills

"Wandering Swordsman" is a light armor combat profession, distinct from typical physical professions. The Wandering Swordsman takes a unique path that emphasizes agility and intelligence. At level 3, the Wandering Swordsman can add their intelligence modifier to the damage of light weapons. Lu Yuan currently has an intelligence modifier of 6, which will increase in the future, making this a good choice for a mage support profession

... ...

Magic can be learned independently, without relying on a system. With an intelligence level of 23, such aptitude certainly cannot be described as "below average". The slow pace of learning magic must stem from other factors. As long as there are no inherent issues, solutions can be found. Problems that can be resolved are not considered true problems

Are you employed

Race: Human

Employment completed

Although the choice of profession struck him like a wake-up call, it also brought him to a state of clarity

Constitution: 17

This awakening inevitably brings a cold sweat. Concepts of becoming a deity or defying the heavens are all cast aside. How far one can go in the future is a matter for the future; the key is to survive in the present! William's ability to communicate with him in such a manner yesterday clearly carried a reminder. It seems that in the process of climbing upward, William has finally touched the bottom line of certain individuals, and someone is about to take action.

The specialized weapon is the rapier, which is currently unavailable, making it impossible to attempt for the time being

Reflex Save (Low Level): This save allows you to attempt to evade area attacks. The Reflex check is related to agility

Strength: 15

The strength of a "warrior" lies in the ability to wear heavy armor and wield long weapons. In the future, Lu Yuan will become a mage, and he certainly cannot wear heavy armor. The primary attribute of a warrior is strength, and Lu Yuan's strength is only second to his charisma, which is the second weakest. Moreover, wearing armor is as conspicuous as a bright flame in the night, as if it were inscribed with the words, "I am the most threatening, come attack me!"

This principle may only be known by the owner of the occult shop, Master Habaser Derlin

Proficiency in Light Armor: This proficiency provides effective knowledge of the use of light armor

The holographic light screen is still suspended there

Occupation: Wandering Swordsman 1

The above expertise is automatically acquired by Wanderer Swordsman at Level 1. No further introduction will be provided.

After calming down, observe the four professions that can be chosen

Choose your faction

The level of competition is not a matter of choosing one out of five or ten. Rather, it involves the sacrifice of one-third of the over one hundred individuals, with another one-third sustaining serious injuries, all for the mere possibility of securing a single official position.

Faction: Absolute Neutrality (Order 50 / Good 50) Faith: Ouma (5 / 100)

Current task list

The most popular tasks are those related to alchemy, conducted alongside formal mages, and assisting in transcribing books is also one of the learning avenues. Lu Yuan took on all the labor-intensive tasks such as transporting goods and delivering items that everyone else needed, which caught the attention of the person in charge of task distribution. These tasks are generally not undertaken by anyone and are given away as bonuses for more sought-after tasks. Is it possible that someone is actually willing to take them on? He noticed the scar on Lu Yuan's head, nodded in realization, and took out more backlog tasks from the cabinet to hand over to him.

"Fighter" is a matter of the future, and it can be considered when choosing part-time work in the future

absolute neutrality

Resilience Exemption (Low Level): This exemption pertains to your resistance against physical and health damage. Resilience checks are related to constitution.

Proficiency in Simple Weapons: This proficiency allows for the effective use of all simple weapons, such as clubs, daggers, crossbows, and light hammers

What the heck! Where is my mage?! If I can't have a mage, a warlock would do! If there are no warlocks, a bard would be acceptable! If that doesn't work, I can go to church every day for a priest! Why is the spellcasting all garbled?!

Spellcasting Wonder: When casting spells, the primary attribute increases by 2. (This means that a spell cast with 23 points of Intelligence is considered to be cast with 25 points.)

Upon seeing the phrase "crisis of life," Lu Yuan finally confirmed his suspicions. Indeed, that explosion was not merely a figment of his imagination; there were indeed people plotting against him.

Name: Lu Yuan

Unfortunately, this is where the extent of it ends. One can pick it up without injuring oneself and can smoothly utilize the basic techniques, but that is all; there is nothing more in-depth.

Remaining points: 44

[Non-Resident | Male]

Lu Yuan picked up a wooden stick, and immediately, a wealth of information surfaced in his mind. He attempted to wield it, and after a few movements, he was able to transition between attack and defense in a manner that resembled a trained individual, his steps reflecting a practiced precision.

Build: Medium

No wonder Habaser Derlin, as the creator of legendary items, rarely crafts magical artifacts. He is more engaged in managing the shop, socializing with dignitaries, and then retreating to the third floor to study magic.

It was still that beehive-like basement, and Lu Yuan smiled as he moved through it. Several passing apprentices looked at him in surprise; Lu Yuan had become somewhat different from before, yet upon closer inspection, there was not much distinction. The hundreds of people mingling down here were merely acquaintances, and the competitive relationships among them made it difficult to form friendships.

Experience Points: 0 / 1000

On the large panel at the entrance, countless small notes are affixed. This world does not lack the art of papermaking, although the quality of the produced paper is relatively poor, it is sufficient for transcription purposes. However, when it comes to magic, ordinary paper cannot bear magical power at all. What significant difference is there between paper made from special materials and parchment or dragon skin? The notes listed various tasks, detailing the requirements and deadlines. What significant difference is there between paper made from special materials and parchment or dragon skin?
