Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Star World

In the attribute panel, all of his physical attributes had reached the maximum values required by the school, which was within Shen Xingyan's expectations. After all, he was always first in his daily training, so such values were not surprising.

However, upon seeing the information in the 'Profession' row, Shen Xingyan's heart immediately turned to ashes, and the light in his eyes extinguished.

Farmer? Why was it this auxiliary profession? Even a Blacksmith would be better than this common Farmer profession, right?

A Blacksmith's talent and professional bonuses would, to some extent, develop the body, making it not impossible to fight Disasters after strengthening one's physique.

But now it was the Farmer profession; its Skill bonuses only applied to agricultural product, offering no help to himself at all. Its only use was to allow him to barely make a living.

And what about his own talent Skill, summoning a skeleton with all attributes at 1? What kind of bizarre talent was this? He had never heard of such a talent before.

Farmer talents usually involved increasing cultivation speed or stamina. This was the first time he had seen a summoning-type talent Skill like this; it was quite rare.

But what good was rarity? A skeleton with attributes of 1 wouldn't even count as cannon fodder on the battlefield, let alone be able to kill Disasters!

Awakening such a result made Shen Xingyan feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. The scorching sunlight outside did nothing to alleviate the coldness in his heart.

Having been anxious for several days, at this moment, it felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body; he was limp all over, without any energy.

Shen Xingyan moved his body as if on his last legs, heading to the registration personnel to register his profession.

As the most basic auxiliary profession, those who awakened as Farmers were undoubtedly the most numerous. After Shen Xingyan told the registrar his profession, he saw that the registrar had already registered countless Farmer professions.

The registrar, who had already registered countless Farmer professions, looked at the dazed Shen Xingyan and couldn't help but sigh. He said nothing, but a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

After completing Shen Xingyan's profession registration, the registrar made no further inquiries and directly directed him to wait in the most crowded area.

After all, the profession's ceiling was set; no matter how luxurious other attributes were, they were only at the Elementary stage and would soon be surpassed. Asking more would only add to the sadness.

At this point, Shen Xingyan no longer cared about the opinions and attitudes of others. Upon hearing the instruction, he merely nodded lightly and slowly walked towards the Farmer area.

However, before he had walked a few steps, an excited voice came from behind him: "Shen Xingyan, I awakened as a Mage, and a fire-elemental Mage with explosive damage! How about you? Do you need me to look out for you from now on, big brother?!"

Chu Wei's voice instantly drew the attention of those around them. They saw the girl in a fiery red dress excitedly waving the card in her hand.

Looking at this future fire-elemental female Mage, everyone's faces were filled with envy.

Shen Xingyan, slowly accepting reality, turned around upon hearing her words and looked at the excited figure, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

Although he was very happy for his deskmate's result, the thought of his own bottom-tier profession filled him with bitterness.

After quickly registering all her information, Chu Wei came closer. Seeing Shen Xingyan's expression, she instantly understood and quickly reined in her excited smile, afraid that her joy would hurt him.

Chu Wei looked at Shen Xingyan with worry, words on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back. She felt that anything she said now would be inappropriate, so she could only silently watch Shen Xingyan, comforting him with her presence.

After a while, Shen Xingyan seemed to have come to terms with it, a slightly carefree smile appearing on his face as he said:

"Don't worry, it's nothing major. Even as a Farmer, I won't starve to death by farming in Xingyuan World every day. When my agricultural product are harvested, I'll send you some to try."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wei's worried expression not only didn't lessen but deepened.

Although she had anticipated that Shen Xingyan's awakened profession wouldn't be too good, she hadn't expected it to be a purely logistical profession like Farmer.

He was clearly the most diligent and outstanding in his studies and training at school, so why did the heavens treat him this way?

He only wanted to become strong enough to take care of his family while also being able to go out and eliminate Disasters, avenging his parents.

Such a simple desire was cruelly stripped away by this profession!

Looking at Shen Xingyan's forced cheerful smile, Chu Wei's eyes began to redden, and glistening tears instantly filled her entire eye sockets.

"Alright, don't be sad. The fact is what it is. Being sad won't help; we still have to look forward." Shen Xingyan ruffled Chu Wei's hair, comforting her on the surface, but also seemingly comforting himself.

Chu Wei did not swat away Shen Xingyan's hand dismissively as she usually would; instead, she nodded obediently.

After calming their emotions, under Chu Wei's worried gaze, the two walked towards different areas.

Shen Xingyan arrived at the vast Farmer profession area, feeling the low-pressure atmosphere there. He, too, gave a bitter smile in his heart, yet rationally forced himself to cheer up, as he still had to live his life.

Looking at the Combat Professionist immersed in a joyful atmosphere in the distance, he felt unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

As the last person was 'thrown' out, the light screen slowly turned white, then gradually disappeared, as if it had never existed.

At this moment, the 6th Base commander, hovering in the air, looked down at the various areas below and nodded with satisfaction. From his vantage point, he noticed that the proportion of various professions this time was better than before.

The number of Combat Professionist such as Knights, Mages, Warriors, Assassins, and Priests, as well as auxiliary combat professions, had reached about 15%, a significant improvement. These new forces would be their main strength in dealing with Disasters in the future.

However, looking at lifestyle professions like Blacksmiths, Tailors, and Farmers, he shook his head with a hint of regret and sighed softly.

Although lifestyle professions could also assist combat personnel, their immediate impact after Awakening was not significant.

Especially the Farmer profession, which had the largest number of Awakenings, was unable to plant agricultural product on this land after the Original Energy outbreak.

The planted seeds showed no reaction at all, and expecting a harvest was a pipe dream; it was practically a profession in name only!

However, the existence of Xingyuan World became their only way to survive, preventing them from starving while also allowing the entire base to develop steadily and orderly.

If not for the existence of Xingyuan World, this profession would probably be useless in the current era.

After the earliest ancestors completed their Awakening through the light screen, they discovered that everyone received a mysterious black card, which they named: star origin card.

Initially, they didn't understand the function of this card, treating it only as a symbolic memento.

It wasn't until they accidentally discovered that by placing the card on their forehead, they could clearly understand all their own information. Not only that, but according to the prompts, their consciousness could also enter a brand new world—the Xingyuan World.

This "Xingyuan World" was an existence similar to previous online games. Engaging in combat or professional activities in that world would earn experience points, used to raise one's professional Rank in the Xingyuan World.

And raising one's professional Rank could increase the effectiveness of professional Skill. At the same time, items produced by professions and spoils of war dropped from combat could be sold through an auction System or private transactions, or they could be sold to the Xingyuan Mall in exchange for Star Origin coins of equal value.

Even more surprisingly, these Star Origin coins could not only be used in the Xingyuan World but also traded in the real world, and they had now become the primary currency within the base.

Star Origin coins were truly a miraculous existence; in this era, they could purchase almost anything. As long as one had enough Star Origin coins, they could essentially achieve anything they desired.

Including materializing items from the Xingyuan World into the real world!

The existence of the Xingyuan World truly explained what it meant that Dao could not save the unfortunate, but Qi could change fate!
