Unlocking the Spiritual Ability Apprentice class, Bai Fu clearly felt her consciousness become much sharper, even momentarily having a sense of transcendence as if she had seen through the worldly facade.
Was this the embodiment of increased Spirit and Inspiration?
The cap for Spiritual Ability Apprentice is Level 10, and every level up provides double the attribute points compared to an Unemployed.
Content, Bai Fu opened up her panel.
[Main Profession]: Unemployed Lv3 (0/1000), Spiritual Ability Apprentice Lv1 (0/300)
[Secondary Profession]: None
[Spiritual Ability Value]: 25/25
[Attributes]: Power 5, Agility 3, Constitution 7, Intelligence 3, Spirit 5, Inspiration 5
Fervor Lv1 - Causes a part of the target's body to enter a [Fervor] state, consuming 1 point of Spiritual Energy per minute during the duration, cooldown time 2 seconds.
Hardening Lv1 - Causes a small area of the target's skin to enter a [Hardening] state, consuming (1-3) points of Spiritual Energy every 5 seconds during the duration, cooldown time 1 second.
Spiritual Vision - Use Spiritual Energy to probe target information, the detail level depends on the level difference.
[Attribute Points]: 2
The new Spiritual Ability Value is the power source of the Spiritual Ability Sect professions, which restore slowly over time. It can be increased by improving Inspiration, as well as through items, equipment, skills, or talents.
Among the new skills, Fervor can increase attack, Hardening can increase defense, and Spiritual Vision can probe an opponent's power, which is quite practical.
In fact, "Three Minutes to Spiritual Ability Prayer for Beginners" gave Bai Fu not just a new profession, but also precautions for practicing Spiritual Ability.
[Attention! Do not recklessly use Spiritual Ability Prayer on others, or it may cause extremely adverse effects!]
She was already prepared to head home.
But upon inadvertently catching sight of the word "Attention!", her eyes sharpened.
That word held an attraction much like "FBI Warning," which was somehow remarkable.
She wouldn't have mentioned it, but now that she had, she couldn't help but delve into this forbidden power!
Bai Fu sat down and began to flip through case studies.
[A male student from a certain academy, intending to joke around, wanted to use Hardening on his roommate's wrist but mistakenly aimed at his roommate's crotch. The next morning, he was urgently taken to the nearby colorectal hospital by the dormitory management. Do not imitate this!]
Using Hardening on a wrist—how could it mistarget the crotch?
Was it intentional, or was it an accident?
Bai Fu felt there was more to the story.
She continued to read the following cases.
The following cases were even more hellish.
For instance, someone intentionally wore thick shoes for three days without washing their feet before a competition, then upon taking the stage, immediately used an enhanced sense of smell prayer and removed their shoes, which caused the opponent to pass out from the stench.
Bai Fu nodded earnestly.
That was quite the birthright!
She kept wondering: as an innocuous little lamb who had strayed into a den like the Abandoned Cooling Factory, how could she survive?
Merely increasing her power wasn't enough; even masters of the Martial Arts World could be poisoned to death by treacherous villains.
It wasn't viable to put all her hopes on Players, and Bai Fu's conclusion was to beat cunning with cunning.
Only by understanding all an opponent's moves could she avoid harm.
To put it bluntly, if she were to be targeted by a cunning trickster in the future, and there was no escape, she could still produce enough bargaining chips to negotiate—
You don't want to blow up, do you?
As if Lv Bu himself walked the earth whenever someone brandished a shit-stained mop, but if I were to pull out one myself, how would you respond?
Strategic weapons don't have to be used, but you must possess them!
Bai Fu closed the book, still yearning for more.
She wanted to find more cases to study.
Unfortunately, this little library was too small, the books mostly existing to be bundled and sold in the "X Books That Benefit Your Life" series.
She had no choice but to find another way.
Since she couldn't learn useful knowledge from books, she would have to seek understanding from practice.
After greeting the library guard, Bai Fu returned home.
During her absence, An Ya had cleaned the house until not a speck of dust remained.
While just a child, she was very sensible.
"Boss, are we really going back to Old Man to collect debts?"
An Ya, wearing an apron made from rags, came out of the kitchen with a worried look.
Bai Fu nodded, "Of course, if we don't collect debts from him, where will we get the money? Do you remember the out-of-towner we saved during the day? Now it's time to show you the true value of out-of-towners!"
As an NPC, could you even call yourself a qualified NPC if you didn't employ Players to fight monsters and collect materials for you?
Bai Fu called An Ya over to instruct her on a ruse.
"Tomorrow, you go and lure those out-of-towners ..."
"Will it really work?"
An Ya was skeptical, but since Boss had said so, she could only try her best.
There is but one sun in her heart, and that is the Boss!
The next day, after ten in the morning.
In a live stream room named [Mysterious Girl X, Dammit, I'm Here], Digging Girl was working with a bunch of viewers to find the missing Mysterious Girl X.
[Can you marry the NPCs if you raise their Affinity high enough in this game?]
[It's not stated on the official website, so probably not.]
[Dislike, not as good as Blue Sky Route. I want a harem, I want a lab of love!]
[Speaking of Blue Sky Route, have you guys noticed the female NPCs in this game are all so petite?]
[Outrageous, what's normally proportional you're calling petite.]
[I'll die without seeing Mysterious Girl X.]
[Digging Girl, my treasure, look behind you!]
"Behind? Are people throwing bricks at each other's crotches again?"
