Chapter 20: New Class, "Elf Scholar"
Without saying a word, Professor Xu took out a communicator from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yong: "Then it's settled."
"If I get business, I'll use this to contact you. It works anywhere within the South Satellite City area. You can also use this communicator to reach me, or you can come directly to this teahouse."
"make a deal."
Seeing Professor Xu agree so readily, Jiang Yong couldn't help but feel pleased. In this way, in addition to accumulating money and connections, he also gained a stable channel to trigger tasks and earn experience, achieving three goals at once!
The future is promising, the future is promising.
You have unlocked a new faction reputation!
【"Carlo Black Market": Current Reputation 16/100 (None of the Known)】
As the word "Transaction" appeared, a notification popped up on the panel, indicating that Jiang Yong had officially connected with Professor Xu and entered his network of relationships—or rather, he had entered his own network of relationships.
"Since we have some free time today, how about we grab a meal and have a proper chat?"
Professor Xu, who had just closed a big deal, was in high spirits and extended an invitation to Jiang Yong, intending to strike while the iron was hot and further solidify their relationship.
Jiang Yong looked up at the sun at three o'clock in the afternoon outside the window—at this time, you probably aren't having afternoon tea.
"...No need, I have other things to do."
He chuckled, then remembered something important: "By the way, about the information on the spirits at Nancheng University, since you're free right now, you can just take me there."
"All right."
Professor Xu stood up: "Then I'll take you to the library first, and while we're there, I'll pay off the fifty gold coins. Then I'll prepare the things on your list and bring them to you later... Oh, by the way, what's the address for delivery?"
"...I'll specify the location in the communication later."
Jiang Yong's eye twitched as he realized that he didn't have a place to stay in Yunqi City, so he could only say this for now.
……
After some time, Jiang Yong followed Professor Xu and entered Nancheng University without any hindrance.
The towering stone walls isolate this ivory tower from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, exuding an atmosphere of youth and vitality. It is afternoon, and the campus is relatively quiet. Students are either in class or have skipped class to catch up on sleep in their dormitories. On the playground, there are small groups of people directing their Pokémon to battle, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional academy's Pokémon taming culture.
However, university students have already begun to engage with society, and under the profound influence of Yunqi City, this scene before them is merely a facade.
Putting everything else aside, Professor Xu simply recruited his own students to act as intermediaries.
As Jiang Yong sighed, Professor Xu had already led him into the teaching building, and after taking the elevator for a while, they arrived at his office.
"...Your money is here, count it yourself."
After locking the door, he took out a heavy bag of gold coins from a hidden drawer, counted out fifty coins, put them into a small bag, and handed them to Jiang Yong. It seems he often does business with Nancheng University, otherwise why would he hide so much money in his office?
"no problem."
Jiang Yong glanced at the money Professor Xu counted, nodded, and put the bag into his clothes—he didn't intend to expose the Explorer's Belt's function in front of others. He then followed Professor Xu out the door again, and after taking the elevator for a while, they arrived at a dimly lit underground corridor.
"This is the internal book depository, which contains many rare items that you can't usually see in a library."
After walking down the corridor for a while, Professor Xu took out his key and opened a door, revealing a spacious and bright room with dozens of bookshelves filled with books and file folders: "You can look at any of the books inside, but try not to take them away. Also, it's best not to open those sealed files, otherwise I might have trouble dealing with them..."
After giving his instructions, Professor Xu turned and left, leaving Jiang Yong alone in the library.
Looking at the scene before him, Jiang Yong's lips curled up uncontrollably.
"Hehehe... Pshaw, don't laugh like that, we're not here to cause trouble."
"Hehehe... I'm finally going to get it!"
"This wave is going to take off!"
After admiring it for a while, he quickly walked to a bookshelf, glanced at it, and pulled out a thick book.
[You have obtained "Introduction to Skill Circuit Anatomy"!]
[Note: This item can be used as a job skill book to unlock the "Elf Scholar" job, or to provide 3000 experience points to an already unlocked job.]
[Detected that you do not yet possess the "Elf Scholar" class. Would you like to consume 3000 experience points to use this?]
"yes!"
Jiang Yong clicked "confirm" without hesitation.
The next moment, a far more complex and profound piece of knowledge than what he had encountered when he first came across "Xiao Fan's Notebook" began to be imprinted in Jiang Yong's memory, causing his head to throb slightly.
[Learning in progress, please do not stop...]
[Learning complete!]
You have obtained the new job "Elf Scholar" lv1!
Your overall level has increased to lv5!
"call……"
After a period of studying, Jiang Yong rubbed his temples, then looked at the knowledge in his mind and the updated content on the panel, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Fourth objective achieved!"
"Elf Scholar" - This class provides a considerable number of attribute points and a very comprehensive boost to abilities, making it extremely cost-effective to level up. It is an essential class that almost any non-casual player should unlock.
Moreover, this profession, combined with the "craftsman" skill he had previously acquired, was necessary to meet the prerequisites for creating the item he wanted. In this way, after receiving the materials from Professor Xu, he could immediately begin the creation process and elevate his strength to a level that was nearly invincible among expert-level users on Planet Carlo.
Moreover, the value of the South City University library goes far beyond simply having an elf scholar...
You have obtained the book "Elementary Elementsology"!
[Note: This item can be used as a job skill book to unlock the "Elf Scholar" job, or to provide 1000 experience points to an already unlocked job.]
[You have received "Pokémon Practical Reference Cases"!]
[Note: This item can be used as a job skill book to unlock the "Elf Scholar" job, or to provide 1200 experience points to an already unlocked job.]
[You have obtained "Eleven Hypotheses about Vacuum Energy"!]
[Note: This item can be used as a job skill book to unlock the "Elf Scholar" job, or to provide 2500 experience points to an already unlocked job.]
[You have obtained "Elf Pharmacokinetics"!]
[Note: This item can be used as a job skill book to unlock the "Elf Scholar" job, or to provide 900 experience points to an already unlocked job.]
……
Of the books in this entire library, at least half can be used as professional books, providing "elf scholars" with professional experience!
