Chapter 2: Cloud Knight assessment, virtual replication panel (First update)

"Sigh, I wonder if I can pass the Cloud Knight assessment this time."

"I've already taken it twice and haven't been able to pass. I don't want to be kicked out; if I'm kicked out, I'll lose my iron rice bowl."

"There aren't many places hiring anywhere on the Luofu right now. Being a Cloud Knight means you're officially on the payroll. It doesn't matter if the pay is a bit low, it's easy work."

"Indeed, compared to other jobs, things like paid leave are easy to come by, and the monthly salary isn't too bad either. The only pity is that as a Cloud Knight, you have to undergo assessments every few days."

"You're talking nonsense. After all, for such a sweet profession, there are bound to be requirements. But don't worry, we already have a bottom-feeder here. This one is a short-lived species who hasn't been here long. Hehe, compared to us, he has no competitiveness."

Xianzhou "Luofu"

Exalting Sanctum.

At a Cloud Knight assessment base, a group of Cloud Knights were gathered, waiting and discussing among themselves.

Many of them had worried expressions on their faces.

However, as they chatted, by the end, they all subconsciously looked toward the back right.

There, stood a youth with a face like polished jade and delicate features.

Lin Mo: "..."

Hearing the discussions of these Cloud Knights around him, Lin Mo's eyelids twitched slightly, and he let out a faint sigh in his heart.

Indeed, compared to long-lived species, short-lived species have no advantages.

Lifespan alone determines everything.

While a short-lived species is working themselves to death learning a certain skill, a long-lived species only needs to spend decades or centuries focusing on one craft.

As long as they aren't too stupid and the direction is roughly correct, they will crush the short-lived species.

If it really doesn't work out, they can just change direction.

But the life of a short-lived species is inherently brief; there aren't that many opportunities for trial and error. Once they take the wrong path, they can rarely turn back.

But long-lived species are different.

The long-lived species here on the Xianzhou have lifespans of several hundred years.

Even if they take a wrong turn, they can quickly turn back and make adjustments.

Unless you insist on being stubborn.

Lin Mo truly never expected that he would wake up and transmigrate to the Luofu.

Fortunately, his status was that of a trainee Cloud Knight.

Even as a trainee, he still had basic living security.

Both the food and the accommodation were quite good.

The only pity was that as a trainee Cloud Knight, he needed to participate in assessments frequently.

If he didn't pass the assessment, he would be kicked out.

During his time as a Cloud Knight, he had done some simple patrols and found that the job of a Cloud Knight was truly sweet.

There was almost nothing to do, and patrols were only every few days.

He could arrange the rest of his time himself.

Compared to working in a restaurant or other places, it was much better.

Therefore, he absolutely, absolutely could not be kicked out of the Cloud Knights.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enjoy those delicacies and paid leave.

Currently, at this Cloud Knight assessment site, he was the only short-lived species.

The surrounding Cloud Knights were all long-lived species, which made many who came to participate in the assessment cast sidelong glances.

That a short-lived species had come to take the assessment could be considered a piece of minor news.

After all, Cloud Knights were almost all long-lived species; there were no short-lived species.

And this assessment was a martial arts test.

Martial arts and such required training.

Long-lived species had a natural advantage in this regard; they could rely entirely on time to gamble.

As Cloud Knights, although the Luofu was currently incredibly stable, there were also the stewards of the Seat of Divine Foresight patrolling every nook and cranny of the Luofu.

And Lin Mo did not understand martial arts...

When he transmigrated, he was as weak as a chicken, and it was too late to train.

However, Lin Mo was not worried.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked at the virtual panel that only he could see in front of him.

Name: Lin Mo.

Age: 18

Ability: None.

Influence Degree: 0

Influence Point: 1

The simple introduction made Lin Mo narrow his eyes.

Ever since he transmigrated, he had obtained this virtual panel.

And this panel was something to help him defy the heavens and change his fate.

This panel was very simple; influence points were the influence caused by his own actions.

These influences would turn into influence degrees.

Once the influence degree reached a certain amount, it could turn into an influence point.

And influence points were used to replicate the abilities of targets he selected.

Every person possessed certain abilities.

These abilities varied in size; he only needed to set his sights on the other party, and he could directly use influence points to replicate a certain ability of theirs.

And the one influence point he had obtained was an extra reward given to him when this virtual panel appeared.

Lin Mo had originally thought that one point was very little.

As a result, he discovered that during this period, whoever he saw, he could directly replicate their abilities.

For example, culinary skills, craftsmanship, martial arts, etc.

The influence points required to replicate these people all only required one point.

Lin Mo had also roughly figured out the pattern: any skill mastered by an ordinary person, as long as he wanted it, he could replicate it based on the technique the other party had mastered.

After figuring this out, he felt very happy and wanted to directly find those Pathstriders to replicate.
