Chapter 4: The Scavenging Team
Although there are special job classes such as Wind Swordsman, Flame Knight, and Paladin, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to unlock the Star Palace after opening the Inner Court. Moreover, special classes are almost incapable of fully unlocking the six major Star Palaces; they can only form magic to provide assistance. This clearly makes it even more challenging to engage with the profound studies of time and space. The choice of job class confirms the path of the profession, which is also the origin of the name of the job class.

The ultimate goal of the physics department's career hierarchy is to condense the cores of all six internal offices. However, the order of condensation and the aspects of enhancement can vary greatly, leading to the formation of various professions. The same applies to the mage department's Star Palace. Therefore, choosing the first activation point at this stage undoubtedly determines the future direction, and the first condensed core is also referred to as the professional core.
For example, saving that bearded man named Luoluoji for himself
Uh, although it is as common as the basic breathing exercises he practices, at least there is some data available here
At this moment, Xuan Ye was contemplating the postponement of his physical cultivation and enhancement. In order to strengthen the techniques for protecting his own life, he could continue to delve into them, but the improvement of his level required a comprehensive plan for direction before proceeding.
Having become a Level 6 Knight Squire, after reaching the normal limits of the human body, the Level 7 to Level 9 Knight Squires are all in a period of special accumulation aimed at breaking through to the next professional tier
The sixth-level knight attendant has trained all the muscles and physique of the body to the utmost limit of a normal human being. Starting from the seventh level, it is time to make an early choice regarding the career path. The physical system's six paths have selected a specific area within the body to begin the process of opening up, laying the groundwork for the subsequent consumption of the career baptism potion or the career transfer ceremony. This establishes a solid foundation for the location that will condense the career core, enabling it to withstand the power of the career core.

After a hint of unusual color appeared in his eyes, Xuan Ye's steps became considerably more resolute.
Their task is to follow behind various mercenary and adventurer groups in the area known as the "Desert of the Dead" to collect the "garbage" that they do not want
Of course, it is not to say that there are no experts among the scavenging team. At the very least, the captain of the scavenging team is generally capable enough to handle some unexpected situations and simple issues. For instance, Xuan Ye's father is a Level 9 Knight Squire, which can be considered a great expert even in the city of Stanrose.
The fundamental reason for this seems to be the scarcity of mineral elements required for spatial equipment, as well as the rarity of mages in this world. Among the already relatively few physical mages, those capable of crafting spatial equipment are even fewer.
If it were the former Xuan Ye, relying on his efforts and the resources accumulated through his father's hard work, it would likely be no problem to unlock "Perception" in the inner palace before aging significantly. However, if he were to undergo a special job transfer afterward, it would indeed be quite challenging.
Uh, the reason why Xuan Ye knows these things is that his magical father continuously brainwashed him while also determining his career path. Well, in fact, his father's "beautiful expectation" is that Xuan Ye can transition to the first position of opening the inner palace as "Perception" and simultaneously unlock the special profession of "Barrier Master" in the Earth Star Palace.
In that case
Due to this characteristic of the scavenging team, Xuan Ye was reminded of something he was very interested in: spatial equipment
In the face of irresistible forces, even with so many excellent shields, the strongest captain has little risk of slipping away unscathed.
This mage has settled here and built his own mage tower due to his good relationship with the former lord of the old city
Although his father never mentioned the specific circumstances of the scavenging team in order to allow him to cultivate in peace, he could still infer the general situation and purpose of the scavenging team from certain behaviors and conditions.
To study space-time, it is essential that the mage possesses unique advantages, while the six spiritual star palaces related to magic and the six physical realms within the body of the physics system represent two entirely different paths of cultivation
Of course, even so, due to the high demand for the people he supports, his personal income is indeed inferior to that of leading a mercenary group himself
Under the leadership of a character with sufficient combat power to serve as the leader of a mercenary group, the others merely follow behind to collect scraps. Although the income may not be the fastest, it is relatively easy. Moreover, the greatest drawback of the original scavenging team, which was the risk factor, has been significantly reduced due to his presence
It is precisely for this reason that even high-end teams equipped with spatial gear are unable to accommodate most of the magical beasts due to their size
The reason why Xuan Ye is particularly concerned about spatial equipment is that he knows if he truly has the possibility of finding a way back home, it must start from the aspect of time and space
What left Xuan Ye at a loss for words was that the leader of this scavenging team, namely Luo Luoji in front of him, was actually a well-known strongman in the city of Stanrosai. He was a professional-tier powerhouse who had already broken through the realm of a Level 9 Knight Squire and successfully evolved and condensed his professional core.
In theory, after reaching the sixth level of knight squire, one can undergo a profession baptism at any time; however, the success rate is quite disheartening unless one has reached the pinnacle of the ninth level of knight squire. This is the optimal time for consumption derived from the countless blood and tears of the ancestors of the human race through their explorations.
However, from what I can recall, although such spatial equipment does indeed exist in this world, it is quite rare in number. Even powerful professionals may not be able to acquire one. Even if one is fortunate enough to obtain it, it is likely to be of extremely limited internal space, with half a cubic meter already fetching a high price, and it remains a case of high demand but low supply.
No way, I have limited experience, don't deceive me, he, he is a professional class expert
In Stanrose City, several prominent factions, including the lord's mansion, have sought to recruit him, as have some of the top mercenary groups, but all their offers were declined. After forming his own faction, he surprisingly chose not to establish a mercenary group, which is the most mainstream option, but instead created a scavenging team, thriving in the business of picking up discarded items. This has led to the Gypsy's claim that his "Lolo Scavenging Team" has become the foremost top scavenging team in Stanrose City.
After letting out a long breath, Xuan Ye extracted the relevant information about basic meditation from his memory data. Since his father had assigned him a target direction in a special profession, it was only natural that he would find a way to obtain something like basic meditation, which exercises the mind, especially with a Mage Tower located in the city
A bloated team, a low average strength, death is a common occurrence, completely exchanging life for money
Among the permanent population of 400,000 and approximately 100,000 floating population in the entire city of Stanrose, the total number of professional-tier powerhouses is less than 50, which means there is less than one in every 10,000 people. Even more astonishing is that there is only one officially recognized professional-tier mage in the entire Stanrose city
To traverse the distant space, one must also return to the original time; this is perhaps something that even the gods may find impossible to achieve. This is merely a direction and a hope, a faint and obscure thread of longing and desire deep within his heart.
However, just as Xuan Ye was secretly admiring the generous behavior of this hearty man, who did not consider his own interests but rather those of the common people, the Gypsy beside him was quietly whispering and "teaching".
Listening to the mysterious revelations from the young man before him, who was of a similar age but merely a third-level knight squire, Xuan Ye suddenly felt a sense of disorientation regarding his worldview. Even the originally awkward and stammering words, due to his still not being accustomed to the common language of the human race here, seemed to have become much more fluent out of fright.
Is it a mage ... ... Huh, it seems I must make some plans in advance
Compared to elite teams such as mercenary squads and adventurer teams, which consist of a smaller number of members with sixth-level or higher knight attendants as the backbone and fourth-level knight attendants as the foundation, the scavenger teams are clearly a means for the general populace to exchange their lives for money, and they are also one of the fastest channels for lower-level knight attendants to earn money
Similar to basic breathing, when understanding fundamental meditation, the data within the body is also fine-tuned, transforming the originally rigid general abilities into one's own exclusive and compatible capabilities
Having been influenced by the internet in his previous life, he is naturally no stranger to the concept of such equipment.
It is this kind of "teaching" that instantly transforms the image of a straightforward and forthright Northeastern man, originally in Xuan Ye's mind, into that of a swindler selling counterfeit medicine
Overall, the income of the scavenging team upon returning to the city will not be less than that of a mercenary team or an adventurer team; however, they have to share the income among many more individuals. Additionally, as they deal with cumbersome materials, their ability to respond to crises is significantly weaker, and the associated risks are much greater.
At present, Xuan Ye, relying on the vast database within him and the mutated bloodline power of the Eye of Breaking the Law, should not have any issues with job transition. However, it is evident that the special profession of "Barrier Master," which appears to be very promising, is not Xuan Ye's target direction or expectation. He aims to become a full-time mage and unlock the six major star palaces.
It can be said that once one successfully transitions to become a professional tier powerhouse, they are part of the privileged class not only in Stanrose City but also in any other place.
While instinctively following the nearby camel, Xuan Ye also entered a state of deep contemplation and understanding regarding the fundamentals of meditation.
The elite of the professional ranks and the knight attendants before them represent two entirely different levels of existence. This distinction is not merely about strength; it also pertains to the severe physical toll experienced by knight attendants from level one to level nine. Even with sufficient medicinal resources to remedy their lifespan, there would be no improvement whatsoever, and it is even possible that their hidden injuries could lead to a decline.
Call
Although it is referred to as "garbage," this designation is based on the insufficient manpower of the mercenary team, which truly left them with no choice but to leave some behind. Even if they took the essence, the remaining scraps of meat, bones, and other items combined would still amount to at least one-fifth of the total value of their prey, and the items collected are not limited to just one team's belongings
If one cannot become the king of magic after traversing a lifetime, what is the difference from being a salted fish
The scavenging team is a type of group that left a deep impression in the memories extracted by Xuan Ye. Before this body’s father became a guest elder of the Kende family, he had formed a scavenging team to provide sufficient magical beast flesh and blood essence herbs for this body.
Once one breaks through to the professional level, it can double the remaining lifespan! Moreover, there are numerous new practical features, such as the burning core that allows one to fight beyond their level, making even stronger opponents reluctant to push hard. Additionally, at the moment of death, one can seal their essence into the professional core, freezing their physical body to significantly extend their existence time, and if necessary, they can strike once more as a deterrent for their family.
