Chapter 8, The Tenant
There was a knock at the door. Wu Xin opened it to find a young woman with her hair tied up. She was about 1.7 meters tall, strikingly beautiful and full of vitality. Dressed in a high-end women's business suit, she exuded professionalism. Wu Xin estimated that the suit was worth around 8,000. Her shoes were also from a luxury brand, costing at least 3,000. The handbag, a symbol of femininity, was a limited edition from a renowned brand. Wu Xin gasped in surprise; this girl was not here to rent a room, but seemed to be here to make a scene.
However, the original intention of Bai Wen renting a house was not to alleviate the burden, but rather a strong request from Bai Wen's mother, who is also Wu Xin's godmother. Bai Wen was born on an ominous day in an ominous month during an ominous year, and since she works in a hospital, it is essential for her to have a lively atmosphere around her. Especially in the place where she lives, the more people, the better. Wu Xin, being left with no choice, used to drive two hours every day to spend the night with Bai Wen. However, during difficult times, this provided a great reason for him to stay over.
The subsequent posts are rather dull, as only eight hours have passed since the operation began, and there cannot be too much data available. Among the uninteresting posts, the only thing that caught Wu Xin's attention was a ranking of beginner professions. Not for any other reason, but to deliver a heavy blow to his already wounded spirit with some *illustrations* and *books*. The PK ability ranking surprised Wu Xin somewhat, as it turned out that half of the participants supported the captain as the top PK expert. Everyone firmly believes that the unfortunate profession of captain, which requires spending money to buy a ship, renovating it, and taking it on adventures, must possess some exceptional qualities.
Oh? Wu Xindao said: "Wait a moment!" He pushed himself up, rolled over to the computer, and checked his phone. Indeed, there were two missed calls and one message, which was sent by Bai Wen while he was running: "Around 8:30, a Miss Hua is going to view the house. If the other party has a legitimate occupation and no bad habits, a monthly rent of 1,000 yuan is acceptable.
I am, you are Dr. Bai? Miss Hua extended her hand.
"Just plain water will do." Miss Hua began to assess the height and lighting of the house: "Could you show me the room first?"
The woman's hair had two small strands dyed white, hanging down on her forehead, which was particularly eye-catching and tasteful. Just as Wu Xin was assessing her, she was also evaluating Wu Xin. The shirt paired with the suit was custom-made by a renowned Italian designer, a shirt that belonged to a suit reflecting the taste of a successful man, the price of which is hard to determine, as this brand of suit cannot be purchased merely with wealth. Looking again, the shoes were slippers. This is normal; no one wears leather shoes at home.
The poster is a Sam Uncle, who analyzed the possible hidden profession in the United States: cowboy! Boldly hypothesizing that cowboys can utilize skills such as horseback riding, revolvers, or lassos on a ship. Since cowboys belong to combat skills, sailors, who possess substantial combat data, are very likely to acquire hidden professions and become dual-class professionals. Wu Xin wiped his sweat, relieved that he is not Superman; otherwise, China would only produce the Solitary Nine Swords.
Bai Wen's house was purchased during the economic crisis, specifically a second-hand property bought at the lowest point of housing prices three years ago, with a total price of 1,100,000. Bai Wen's parents covered 30% of the down payment, while Bai Wen is responsible for the mortgage over 20 years, with a monthly payment of over 5,000. Bai Wen's salary is 7,000 per month, and with bonuses, it barely reaches 9,000. However, Bai Wen also maintains a car, which makes expenses quite tight. This is the reality for many Chinese people, spending twenty years to earn a home of around one hundred square meters. Yet, Bai Wen also maintains a car, which makes expenses quite tight.

The doorbell downstairs is ringing
According to a survey conducted by a certain union, doctors are the most popular and in-demand profession. Following doctors in popularity are lookout, bosun, craftsman, gunner, and captain. The most in-demand professions are captain, craftsman, gunner, bosun, and lookout. Aside from doctors, the popularity and shortage of other professions are inversely proportional.
Miss Hua? '' Wu Xin extended his hand
"No, my surname is Wu. I am a friend and guest of Dr. Bai." Wu Xin casually asked upon entering, "What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Cola? Beer? Mineral water? Purified water?"
This side
While others may think otherwise, Wu Xin, the expert, understands that the captain is indeed very likely to be the top player in PK. A knife fears a sword, and a sword fears a hook. When comparing two individuals with similar martial skills, the one wielding a sword is generally stronger than the one with a knife, while the effectiveness of an archer is harder to determine. In China, archers have always been considered a military profession rather than a martial arts one. However, since this is a game, skills are much more effective than real-world martial arts, and it is uncertain whether the sailor will be the most powerful profession. Everything remains an unknown. As the official statement claims, there is no profession that is the most capable, only players who are the most skilled.

With a push of his foot, Wu Xin rolled his computer chair to the phone and asked, "Who is it?"
Hello! Wu Xin rolled to the phone and said: "Miss Hua, please!" Unlock the door. Wu Xin and the others were so cautious, not because they were afraid of any bad people sneaking into their room, but rather because they were worried about salespeople getting into their room
Next, there are comments from Chinese players. Those who play games do so diligently, while water cooler players also find joy in their banter. Some speculate that the hidden profession in China is the Knight-Errant, while others believe it to be the Divine Crossbowman, and some think that Traditional Chinese Medicine is indeed China's hidden profession. There are also opinions suggesting that the advancement of the Artisan might be a hidden profession, with references to the legendary figures of Left Ganjiang and Mo Ye, stating that one can kill anyone who stands in their way, even if they are a Buddha.
"May I ask if this is Mr. Bai?" a female voice said: "I called this morning to inquire about the house."
Wu Xin is a true friend; whether it is to help Bai Wen alleviate his burdens or to relieve Bai Ma's worries, he insists on negotiating the business at the highest price. If he dares to offer 10,000, he will definitely not settle for just 9,000.
There are also comprehensive analyses suggesting that although the role of a gunner is generally not well regarded, a ship can be equipped with two gunners, making this profession relatively easy to find work in. In the eyes of most people, a ship is akin to a team, which inevitably leads to employment difficulties due to occupational issues. In contrast, the role of a gunner is much less demanding, as there can only be one captain, while two gunners are needed per ship. However, this very fact has led many to avoid choosing the gunner profession. In this rebellious era, there are all kinds of people.
The following is a discussion post about professions. The most popular roles are not the gunner or the captain, but rather the lookout and the chief sailor. While everyone acknowledges that the gunner and captain are indispensable roles within the team, when considering personal interests, the lookout and chief sailor emerge as the most suitable choices. Among all professions, the gunner is the least popular, primarily because once the gunner is off the ship, their combat effectiveness diminishes significantly
The following is a highly popular post from foreign players that has been reposted, analyzing the potential of hidden professions and the changes in career advancement. Wu Xin observed that there is nothing new in career advancement; it is largely in line with what everyone has speculated. However, the analysis of hidden professions is quite interesting. The post suggests that each country has one, possibly only one, unique hidden profession. A hidden profession may merely be a title or an additional skill. The post argues that the likelihood of introducing an entirely new profession is relatively low, but the possibility of the crew profession having a hidden profession is considerably higher. Continuing this logical analysis, the first mate has the greatest potential to acquire a hidden profession.
