While sipping the sweet milk, Lin Ke reminisced about the conversation with Curry Housekeeper, a smile spreading uncontrollably across his lips.
The gains from tonight were truly astounding!
Setting aside the vast knowledge about creating new occupational paths gained from Curry, even the potential cooperation with the royal family was worthwhile.
After all, it’s the royal family!
In this world where power reigns supreme, with a super power like the Insomnia Emperor backing him, would any usual legends or minor deities dare bully Lin Ke?
He’d be lucky if Lin Ke doesn’t go looking for trouble.
The days ahead are surely steady!
Feeling a strong sense of security, Lin Ke chugged down another cup of Gula Milk and then sat at his desk to start recording.
He needed to document the key points, doubts, and inspirations about creating professions as told by Curry Housekeeper.
Curry Housekeeper shared a lot, all relating to projects researched by a group of [Researchers] organized by the royal family.
The royal family had already set up a sort of research institute, organized by the Insomnia Emperor who had gathered a group of people, providing them funds and resources to conduct research.
Generally speaking, the research topics are like "How to unleash the Three Fireball spell with greater power" or "Techniques and key points of skill release."
However, many minor aspects weren’t as comprehensive as those of the scientific academies from Lin Ke’s past life, mostly relying on the prestige of the Insomnia Emperor.
The research mostly focused on enhancing destructive power and increasing potency, with little attention to agricultural improvement or new production methods.
Yet, Lin Ke couldn’t help but envy it.
Such an institute could actually transform easily!
Just by stimulating the institute’s initiative and leveraging some systems from previous generations, it could essentially become operational after transformation.
He learned that scholars and researchers were recruited under strict conditions and various high demands, like needing to be at least level fifteen, and they had even recruited Ove in the past.
But even so, there were countless professionals eager to join, some even willing to pay to get in.
After all, in the Black and White Royal Family, even excluding the chance encounters with the Insomnia Emperor, the Combined Pantheon God, and other renowned legends could be met.
Casual guidance from high-ranking individuals could potentially benefit those at lower levels for life.
Moreover, the entry requirements for the institute were merely trivial demands, insignificant in the face of level progression.
A contrast to Lin Ke’s situation...
Thinking of the small team he had, with John busy learning his specialized career as a [Housekeeper], Knicks off to study medicine and not yet returned, and Sophie not even yet a professional...
When tallying it up, it seemed only Granny Hisai was conducting research, and she didn’t even have an assistant.
Moreover, Granny Hisai could only work on gunpowder given the lack of materials and facilities.
"Well, take it slow." Lin Ke shook his head and continued recording.
The alignment of professions is vital, and what Ove knew about creating professions was scant.
After all, Ove hadn’t communicated with anyone for a long time; his knowledge either stemmed from his own research or from his teacher.
And now, Lin Ke had obtained a treasure trove of knowledge.
In this world, you could certainly say that knowledge is wealth, and it is power.
Lin Ke needed to fully comprehend the knowledge, then convert it into wealth and power.
"Firstly, an occupational role must have feedback... Hmm, [Scholars] generally emerge from extensive learning and some research, so [Singers] should arise from the feedback of singing..."
"Aside from feedback, if other traits are infused into the bloodline before taking up the profession, it could lead to occupational failure or result in a mutated profession, which might be stronger or weaker..."
"Hmm, there could also be dual professions? Convertible professions? Like [Flying Shield Hero] and [Tower Shield Hero], which can change their profession based on the weapon. This needs to be noted down..."
Upon writing this, Lin Ke marked a five-pointed star beside it.
This was something to remember.
Based on the dual nature and mutation of professions, it might be possible to compensate for some of the shortcomings in existing professions.
Like how the [Tower Shield Hero] excels in defense but lacks in range attacks, which could be complemented by the [Flying Shield Hero].
Of course, creating a profession should be thoughtfully considered.
If a weaker mutated profession is created, it would be pointless.
For instance, if you intend to create a charging [Great Blade Warrior] on the battlefield, adding a "nimble and agile" trait could accidentally result in a [Knife Warrior], with a warrior becoming an assassin.
At this thought, Lin Ke’s eyes gleamed slightly, and he jotted down beside that star:
But you can’t definitively judge the mutation of a profession as stronger or weaker, how did that saying go?
Perhaps... there’s no strongest profession, only the most suitable profession?
Isn’t the Blue Silver Grass supposed to be that impressive?
The original [Great Blade Warrior] became a [Knife Warrior], couldn’t he also perform assassin missions?
Thinking this through, Lin Ke documented this idea.
Yes, aside from this...
Curry said that before a profession reaches the existence of level twenty-one, it is full of uncertainties.
This career path might be incomplete, or it might appear hopeless and without a foreseeable end.
