Chapter 51: Why is my profession panel in a 2D art style? Chapter 21

And if it were just one sparring session a day, that would be fine, but Li Ang wanted to spar many times a day; she didn't know where he got the energy.

[Slow Recovery] plus [Calm Mind]—look it up.

Thanks to these two specialties, Li Ang could recover his stamina shortly after each sparring session.

Coupled with the fact that Danika’s strength was truly terrifying, his experience gain was very rapid.

Looking at [Innate Reversion (Mastery 4/1000)] on the panel in front of him, a look of joy couldn't help but appear on Li Ang’s face.

Seeing his expression, Danika couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

'This kid wouldn't really be like Cole, would he?'

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Li Ang’s body glowing white, clearly activating Innate Reversion.

Danika was shocked: "Again?! Don't you need to rest!?"

As she spoke, she frowned slightly.

Li Ang felt a bit different to her than he did just a moment ago.

Having achieved his goal, Li Ang naturally couldn't continue to drag Danika into sparring, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Captain, you can go back."

Hearing this, Danika dropped a final sentence: "You said it yourself, don't pester me again."

After speaking, she ran away as if fleeing; in the blink of an eye, only Li Ang remained in the training ground.

Li Ang didn't care about Danika’s reaction; he was silently experiencing the power of the second stage of Innate Reversion.

'Both strength and defense have increased a bit, and the consumption has also decreased a lot. I can even maintain it indefinitely if I don't move.'

'The most critical thing is...'

'I can use energy to repair wounds.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Innate Reversion at the [Mastery] level couldn't yet do what his Master could—repairing even a shattered heart—most non-fatal flesh wounds no longer posed a threat to him.

However, the more severe the wound, the more energy it consumed to repair.

With Li Ang’s current energy of 20.2, he couldn't afford to squander it recklessly.

'So Innate Reversion can be put aside for now. Next, I need to raise my professional level as soon as possible. It would be even better if I could take on a few more professions that provide physical strength bonuses.'

In the past few days, other than [Qi Refiner (Three-One)] leveling up once, Li Ang hadn't successfully taken on any new professions.

He had tried target practice, but unfortunately, he gained nothing. It seemed the condition for the [Gunner] profession wasn't target practice.

Li Ang suspected it was using firearms to kill enemies, but he had no way to verify it.

As for [Craftsman Apprentice]...

He felt that he might need to find a [Craftsman] to act as a teacher to change professions.

Thinking of this, Li Ang walked out of the training ground while maintaining his Innate state.

It had to be said that maintaining the Innate state for a long time was indeed very tiring. It was no wonder those senior brothers had given up before; he didn't know how his Master had persisted for decades like one day.

However, seeing the [Operating Innate Reversion, skill experience +1] popping up on the panel from time to time, Li Ang felt that enduring it was worth it. After all, the other Three-One sect members couldn't see the end of the road, but he could.

The next morning.

Danika looked at Li Ang, who was glowing white all over, with a strange expression.

After a moment of silence, she asked hesitantly: "...Did you find the conditions for a profession change?"

Before Li Ang could answer, Danika shook her head repeatedly: "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

Professional information is a very private matter; asking directly was clearly inappropriate.

Just then, Higgins came to their side.

When he saw Li Ang’s appearance, the blond man’s eyes flickered, but in the end, he asked nothing, instead revealing a gentle smile: "Since everyone is here, let's go. I’ve already sent the route to your communication devices."

Hearing this, Li Ang and Danika looked at each other and climbed into the back seat of the pickup truck.

With a roar of the engine, the modified pickup sped toward the outside of the city.

Unlike the neatness and cleanliness inside the city, the land outside was desolate to a terrifying degree; all that could be seen was yellow sand filling the sky.

At this moment, Danika, sitting opposite Li Ang, spoke up: "This is caused by the swarms. They eat everything."

"Once the grass, trees, and such are eaten, they start eating the ores."

"That’s why Pioneer City has always been trying to find ways to eliminate those bugs."

Fire Crystals are an important resource for Colonial Star No. 9527. Pioneer City certainly couldn't just watch the bugs gnaw away at the resources they relied on for survival.

Even though they were the outsiders.

Just as Li Ang was about to say something, a fine vibration suddenly came.

His and Danika’s expressions changed instantly.

It was a swarm.

Fortunately, to prevent such situations, the pickup was equipped with weapons.

Li Ang and Danika immediately grabbed the two machine guns in the back and entered a state of alert.

Soon, a large group of bugs appeared in their line of sight.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ang and Danika pulled the triggers.

Bang, bang, bang—

The multi-barreled machine guns roared instantly, and lethal bullets were poured toward the swarm as if they were free.

It had to be said that the recoil was indeed very strong; if it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to control this weapon of mass destruction.

But Li Ang’s current physical strength attribute had reached 3.0, not to mention he was operating Innate Reversion.

Let alone not being able to control it, even if he were asked to operate both machine guns at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem.

And not long after he started shooting, a message popped up on his profession panel.

——

[Profession: Gunner]

[Job Requirements:

1. Use firearms to kill five creatures capable of autonomous movement. (√)]

[After taking the job:

1. Attribute growth

2. Obtain professional specialty—Primary Firearms Mastery]

——

'So it really is about killing enemies?'

Seeing the job requirements for [Gunner], Li Ang wasn't surprised and immediately chose to take the job.

——

[Profession: Gunner]

[Level: 1/5 (0/100)]

[Attribute Bonus: Physical Strength 0.1 per level]

[Professional Skills: None]

[Professional Specialty: Primary Firearms Mastery]

[Profession Path: Fast Gunner, Firearms Expert...]

——

[Primary Firearms Mastery: Slightly increases proficiency when using firearm-type weapons].

Glancing at the [Gunner] profession information, Li Ang decided to relegate it to the same table as [Prisoner].

However, immediately after, he discovered something.

[Use firearms to kill enemies, professional experience +1]

[Use firearms to kill enemies, professional experience +1]...

The professional experience for [Gunner] was skyrocketing.

In just a few minutes, the [Gunner] profession had already reached level 2.

Feeling his strength grow a bit more, Li Ang couldn't help but grin.

Unfortunately, under Cole’s superb driving skills, the swarm gradually disappeared, forcing Li Ang to stop his experience-farming plan.

After shaking off the swarm, the pickup soon arrived at the destination marked on the map.

An open-pit small mine. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
