All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents

Chapter 496: Chapter 260: Mysterious High-Score Guy (2)

In fact, before entering the Ancient Ruins on April 1st, Lu Cang had used Future Preview to see the final outcome.

In the end, he would only obtain a mere five vials of Realm of Ascension.

That was enough to support five promotions.

In reality... that amount was truly not enough.

If he could only get five vials, Lu Cang might not have gone with the strategy of changing his Profession to Pharmacist.

"Haha, that was quite a haul!" A familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Lu Cang looked in that direction. Sure enough, it was Rhine speaking.

"Lu Cang." Yelieya also looked toward him.

Her final score was frozen at one million points.

Toward the end, she really couldn’t farm any more points.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t win the fights.

It was just that Yelieya felt uncomfortable simply leeching off the monsters Rhine found.

Although Rhine had a higher score, the rewards were tangible drops from the monsters. Constantly taking the monsters he found would leave Rhine with almost no rewards himself.

In the end, Yelieya chose to farm by herself.

Rhine could only respect Yelieya’s wishes. But in reality, Rhine didn’t go farming for monsters either. He just wandered around and unexpectedly found some Demons that others had killed but hadn’t looted completely.

And he made a small profit.

But what Rhine really wanted was to find a shortcut for farming points like Lu Cang had.

But he never found one in the end.

And Yelieya, after leaving Rhine, couldn’t find any monsters anywhere, so her score ended up at only one million points.

"Congratulations! In any case, congratulations again, everyone!" The phantom in the center was still giving its speech.

"Oh, right... I also want to thank the sponsor of this event, Lorna!"

"Thanks to this person!"

"Next up, our awards ceremony!"

’Huh?’

’Did he just gloss over something really important?’

’The sponsor?’

’This Lorna person doesn’t seem like a character who should just be mentioned in passing. Is that how you treat the sponsor of your event?’

’If you keep this up, no one’s going to sponsor you next time.’

Feeling helpless, Lu Cang could only ask An Su in his Sea of Consciousness, "Lorna, do you know her?"

When An Su heard the name, Lu Cang instantly sensed a surge of memories rising in its Mind.

"Heh heh..."

"I more than know her."

"She is an exceptionally shrewd merchant. Even I have suffered a great loss at her hands."

Lu Cang was puzzled. "A merchant?"

"Mm... That is her Profession."

"Merchant is a Profession?"

"In ancient times, this Profession existed. It’s just that today, she might be the only one left who has it..."

"She is a Level 9 merchant."

"If you ever meet her, you must never casually buy anything she’s promoting, no matter how tempting it may be."

Alarm bells were already ringing in Lu Cang’s mind.

"Mm, I understand."

’I never would have thought there was a Merchant Profession, and a Level 9 one at that.’

’A Level 9 Architect, a Level 9 Death Priest, a Level 9 merchant...’

’All of a sudden, I’m finding out there are so many Level 9 Reincarnators in this world.’

"But you said ’ancient times’?"

"This being named Lorna... has she lived from ancient times until now?"

"Could it be that she also undergoes Reincarnation?"

An Su gave a cold chuckle. "Child, don’t be so rigid in your thinking... There is more than one way to achieve long life. Reincarnation is merely one method of doing so."

"As a Level 9 merchant, what’s so strange about her buying and selling lifespans, trading in time itself?"

"Buying lifespans from cheap individuals whose time is worthless, then reselling them to those who are valuable..."

He communicated with An Su in his mind.

’It’s true,’ he thought. ’With a portable grandpa around, a lot of questions that would take ages of probing to answer can be solved in an instant.’

Meanwhile, Aigemisa’s chaotic phantom was saying, "First, let’s have thirteenth place."

"The one with ten thousand points."

Aigemisa pointed in a certain direction.

In that direction, a previously blurry figure instantly materialized.

SHWOOP!

「Thirteenth Place—Xie Chen」

Xie Chen’s appearance was revealed. He was a human male, bare-chested, with markings on his body resembling Orochi from *The King of Fighters*.

His sturdy muscles were well-defined. At a glance, one could tell he was a practitioner of Body Refinement.

’Looking at him, his physical strength might not be any less than my own.’

Lu Cang believed that while his current physical strength might not be able to withstand an attack from a Level 8 Reincarnator, it was definitely not weak among Level 7 Reincarnators.

It should be considered an upper-mid-tier Level 7 body.

But this person’s body, just by looking at it, seemed stronger than his.

’As expected, these Inheritors of the gods aren’t chosen randomly.’

"Ten thousand points isn’t too low," Aigemisa said.

"Hmm... looking at what you lack most right now, it should be comprehending the Great Perfect Satisfaction Realm. These tea leaves, which can help you deduce the Perfect Satisfaction Realm, will be your gift."

SHWISH—

A box materialized and fell from mid-air.

Xie Chen extended both hands.

He caught the box and gave the phantom a slight nod, not saying much else.

’Pretty arrogant.’

The rankings in this battle didn’t necessarily reflect actual combat power. Most participants could probably defeat Tier Six Demons; the only difficulty lay in the efficiency of killing them.

And whether they could find any monsters to kill.

It was less a competition of strength and more a competition of the ability to find monsters.

Therefore, even though he was ranked thirteenth,

his strength could very well be on par with the top-ranked participants.

"Next."

"Ah, forget it. Let’s just go straight to first place."

The phantom in the center thought for a moment, then raised its hand and pointed directly at Lu Cang.

"The first place one..."

"Thaaat one..."

He pointed at Lu Cang, but his words got stuck for a moment.

’Oh.’

’I should probably undo a bit of the Unsolvable Mystery.’

"Lu Shuicang."

It finally remembered who had taken first place.

Lu Cang’s figure was illuminated, and at the same time, he felt a faint layer of mist being peeled away from his body.

’My appearance should now be visible to everyone else.’

"Three point two billion."

"I really don’t know how you farmed that much. Taking a closer look, you’re covered in mysteries from head to toe?"

"Wait... how did you even get in here?"

It was as if Aigemisa had only just now discovered Lu Cang’s existence.

It hadn’t noticed him at all before this.

It was as if he was never on the list of participants to begin with, but had inexplicably appeared at the awards ceremony. And on top of that, he’d taken first place with a staggering lead, crushing the second place’s two hundred million points with his own three point two billion.

A mysterious, high-scoring man had appeared out of nowhere.

It was like the place was haunted.

Aigemisa stared at Lu Cang, suddenly filled with countless questions. Giant question marks seemed to be swirling around its head.

But soon, this confusion turned into acceptance. It didn’t truly pursue the matter of Lu Cang’s real identity.

"Forget it. This is more interesting. Chaos is the most interesting result. An unknown chaos has crashed my carnival..."

"This is what makes it fun!"

"Three point two billion points, first place!"

"This carnival has been going on for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen such an interesting score!"

"I must give you a good reward for this. It seems only something unique will be worthy of your score."
