Chapter 162: Why Is My Profession Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 70

It was a pity, but the always-hitting rifle remained as lifeless as a firestick.

"Tsk."

Li Ang, slightly disappointed, ordered Odin to set the weapon down, then directed the other corpse-guards to clean the basement.

Only then did he have time to check the messages on his professional panel.

At this point, his 【Dragon Vein Alchemist】 level had reached 【Lv7 (1187/4000)】.

Besides the significant level increase, another message on the panel caught Li Ang's attention.

He stared at the message, his expression gradually turning strange.

——

【Profession: Mortician】

【Qualification Requirements:】

1. Sew and beautify a corpse (√)

【After Taking Up:】

1. Attribute increase

2. Gain profession specialty — Corpse Affinity

——

Li Ang looked up at the silent Odin, then at the panel, and decisively chose to take up the profession.

——

【Profession: Mortician】

【Level: 1/5 (0/100)】

【Attribute Bonus: +0.1 Mental Strength per level】

【Profession Skill: None】

【Profession Specialty: Corpse Affinity】

【Career Path: Undertaker, Limb-Grafted Monster】

——

【Corpse Affinity: You are a professional when it comes to corpses.】

Li Ang hadn't expected that turning Odin into a corpse-guard would grant him a new profession.

Even if this new profession sat at the same table as 【Gunslinger】, even a fly's leg is still meat.

'But with more and more professions, I can't possibly devote enough energy to all of them.'

【Gunsmith】 was fine—it gained experience in combat—but 【Mortician】, clearly requiring long-term, incremental practice, would inevitably steal time from other professions.

'I wonder if there's a way to solve this later.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang exhaled softly.

After glancing at the cleaned basement, he ordered the corpse-guards to transport the metal.

At this point, only a small final part remained before completing his alchemical workshop.

【Construct a small alchemical workshop, +25 profession experience.】

The massive starship crossed the star gate and slowly emerged into the boundless star sea.

On the bridge, a man dressed as a commander coldly stared at the distant yellowish-brown planet.

At that moment, a woman standing beside him whispered, "Commander, we've arrived at our destination."

"Should we notify the Viceroy of Colony 9527 to send someone to meet us?"

Hearing this, the man withdrew his gaze, his tone unchanging: "No. Keep the entire ship silent. Don't let them detect us."

"Yes, Commander."

The woman nodded, then continued: "According to the dossier, Vito Blancard, Governor of Outpost 66, explained the reduction in fire-crystal quotas by claiming that insect swarms outside the city have become rampant, consuming most of the fire crystals."

At this, the man's face twisted into a faint sneer: "Chirp."

"People from backwater places are still backwater people—they think this trick still works."

The woman fell silent.

After a moment, she spoke again: "Commander, the dossier also records that recently, Outpost 66 uncovered a smuggling case—but all the suspects were killed, leaving only the security bureau agents involved still alive."

"Have them come see me."

The man stressed the word "have."

Yet at this, the woman's face showed a hint of hesitation.

"What's the problem?"

"Commander, the Chief of Security for Outpost 66 is from the Lilith family."

"The 【Lord of Feasts】?"

The man's face betrayed unmistakable surprise.

After a moment of silence, he asked: "What about the others?"

"The last agent to have contact with the smuggling case, Li Ang, recently became a formal citizen of the Federation, and he's also a Rank One craftsman of the Gongjiangxie Society. But according to the latest intelligence, he appears to have ties with the Aio Group."

Hearing this, the man furrowed his brow tightly.

He never imagined that such a tiny colony as 9527 could harbor such hidden power.

After another moment of silence, the man turned and left the bridge.

Before departing, he tossed out one final order: "Prepare the escape pods. I'm leading the team down personally."

"Yes, Commander."
