Chapter 4 Everyone is human, why are they so different in appearance?
Head is now a citizen of the Olympian Empire LV1. This is his meritorious level, and he currently has no professional level.
The meritorious ranks of the Olympus Empire are very simple and familiar. The five noble classes of Gonghou and Bozinan, as well as a large number of citizens. The meritorious ranks are divided from low to high by LV1 to LV99, and the same is true for aristocrats. Usually, a person's value can be easily seen from his meritorious rank.
The types of occupations in the ancient Western continent are very complicated, and the occupation level classification is also defined by LV as the standard. The numbers from 1 to 99 represent strength from low to high. Every 10 LV represents a stage, and the highest-level title is a master. Some professions can be evaluated for new occupations after exceeding LV99, which is commonly known as transfer.
At the same time, various monsters scattered all over the Western Ancient Continent are basically divided into strength and hunting difficulty according to this LV hierarchy.
It is very easy to improve LV in combat professions. Go to the wild alone to find a single monster to fight, such as killing an LV30 monster, retrieving the crystal core in its body, and handing it over to the Empire Profession Evaluation Institute, and you can upgrade to a certain combat profession level of LV30. As for what weapons, equipment, items, and even means to use, there are no restrictions, these are also certain aspects of strength.
In short, if you can fight and kill a king-level monster that exceeds LV99, you can become a master!
Of course, there are loopholes to take advantage of this assessment method, for example, some people will buy a Warcraft Crystal Core at a high price. But since it is a career related to combat, strength is the basic standard. If you have the strength to do as much as you have, unless you don’t have to do it in your life, something will happen sooner or later if you don’t have the strength to hold a high LV title.
The assisted therapy type profession is to evaluate LV based on skills and work performance. The improvement of life type profession is related to work performance and duration.
As for why this hierarchy is so familiar that it is strange? Head now certainly understands it.
After entering Roland City, Head was sent to a place called District 11 in the rear, which is also an area where ordinary civilians live. After all, Roland City is a comprehensive fortress city, so there is no need to give each area some nice names.
"Sector 11...", Head smiled bitterly and muttered this very awkward word.
He is now arranged in a simple single room on the second floor of a two-story building in District 11. The room on the left is a pair of brothers and sisters who are professions of hunting monsters, and the neighbor on the right is a...
"Head, I'll take you to find a job." The person who made this proposal to Head was a guy named Majik, who was only about one hundred and ten centimeters tall, very miniature and had a cute baby face. He was another neighbor of Head.
However, Majik is neither a kid next door who looks less than ten years old, nor a special small race like a small human race or a dwarf. He is a real human, and he is already forty-three years old!
The reason why Majik looks like this is because his route to improve his strength is a bit special. In order to increase his ability and efficiency, he has become the current short stature and extremely childish appearance due to the special influence of his cultivation and inheritance.
Majik is following the development route of auxiliary white magicians, and he is an extremely single light white magician. He has been taking the crystal core of low-level light monsters since he was a child. Due to the lack of more efficient crystal core formulas and advanced crystal cores, there are some side effects, which leads to him being like this.
Of course, Majik is still normal for other aspects of development. Yesterday, he invited Head to get to know the town, and then asked Head to drink at the tavern. After drinking halfway through, he ran to his sister by the way. He also really brought a fox-eared girl with an angry figure, and then left the head who had no intention to enjoy himself...
That's right, if humans in this world want to enhance themselves and gain extraordinary abilities, they will use this extremely simple method - eating crystal cores.
Various monsters spread throughout the Western Ancient Continent are both dangerous enemies and very important resources for humans. The flesh and skin of monsters are very useful materials, and of course the most important thing is the root of their power - the Warcraft Crystal Core.
If you want to take the pure battle route, you can eat the crystal core of a single magic or melee monster, gradually increase the level of the crystal core from low to high, and then undergo systematic skill training. After a long time, even if you become a magic master, it is possible to become a combat master.
This is a way to improve their strength by abandoned by gods and humans who have no unique talents using their excellent creative wisdom. Otherwise, they will not be able to survive and develop under the threat of those monsters that are inherently powerful and reproductive, let alone fight against talented elves.
However, after all, humans whose power was originally very weak and would not have any magic skills were really lacking. The efficiency of absorbing various forces in the Warcraft Crystal Core is relatively low. It also requires the skills of using these powers to cooperate with the frequency of absorption to avoid the tragedy of being overwhelmed by eating too much.
Therefore, this method of improving strength is also limited. It is impossible to have a situation where you just eat a high-level, such as a king-level monster crystal core that can reach the sky and become an invincible master in one step.
Moreover, taking crystal cores requires special matching. If the combination is appropriate, the absorption efficiency is much higher than that of random eating. Without the corresponding crystal core formula, an ordinary person cannot get much power even if he eats a large handful of crystal cores every day. Besides, to get more help, he must have a higher level of crystal core, which ordinary people cannot get at all.
But even so, this is enough to enable humans to gain strong enough strength so that they will not be far surpassed by elves and can survive and develop in this world full of monsters. You must know that no matter how a human trains himself, he may not be able to be stronger than an ordinary elf who only has basic talents in his entire life.
In short, high-level magical beast crystal cores and cultivation inheritances including crystal core substitute recipes with significant absorption effects are the most precious wealth in the human kingdom of this world. Many powerful human wealthy families can maintain prosperity and development because of their own unique cultivation inheritance and special high-level magical beast hunting channels.
However, long-term consumption of crystal nucleus will have some side effects, such as Majik's extremely short figure and naive appearance, which is actually quite normal.
Those who are more abnormal... For example, after entering Roland City, some guys who look like orcs on the street, even those who have horns on their heads and wings on their backs are typical non-human guys. In fact, they are all real humans, but because of the directional problem of improving their own abilities, taking a large number of Warcraft Crystal Nuclear has produced various side effects, which are called "alienation".
There are usually three types of alienation directions, the first is "alienation type". For example, the alienation phenomenon caused by long-term consumption of beast monster crystal nuclei has two pairs of ears, but the pair of beast secondary ears are directly connected to the skull through cartilage, and the tail behind the hip is also alienated. These alienated organs have the function of enhancing sensory and balance, and some cultivation routes can also be used as auxiliary weapons. Similar alienation phenomena include long wings, long horns, long scales, etc.
The second type is "reinforced type", and the appearance changes are not too specific. For example, the bones are thick and muscular, but the body is short and thick, and the hair is very similar to the shape of a dwarf. This system generally does not have special alienated organs, but the body is a bit special. Uncle Majik, who has a baby face, belongs to this system.
Most of these two routes are not financially strong enough and there is no special crystalline formula for ordinary citizens to choose.
The last one is the "specialization type". This direction will not produce an alienation effect in normal times, but it will show a very special alienation effect when fighting or exerting special abilities. High-level strong people will not even have an alienation phenomenon, but will only produce a special light pattern virtual image effect. Generally speaking, this development direction requires more advanced crystal nuclei and special crystal nuclei formulas.
Therefore, this type of development route is mostly used by wealthy nobles who are very rich in manpower, material resources and financial resources.
Humans have adopted this method of enhancing themselves by taking the nucleus of crystals. It has a history of less than three hundred years. There are still many shortcomings and defects. However, the alienation phenomenon will not produce genetic effects at present, so these guys who look strange in appearance are still very healthy and normal ordinary human children.
……………………
This is the information obtained by Head after he met his neighbor Majik and chatted with him. This also confirms Head's speculation that he is very familiar with many things in this world...
"Work, what can I do..." Held sighed in dismay at the suggestion of the small uncle to take him to find a job. He really didn't know that he had accomplished nothing before traveling through time. He only knew how to play computer games and watch cartoons to do some self-righteous computer games. What kind of work can he do in this world? Besides, his current thin young body is probably not competent for the slightly heavier physical labor.
"There are no cheap parents of wealthy and nobles, no talented personal qualities, and no magical auxiliary items. How can I survive in this other world? God, you can't play with me like this!"
"Heid, don't be so gloomy, you need to be more sunny in your heart." Majik stretched out his chubby little hand and patted Head on the shoulder. Majik is really a cheerful, talkative and familiar person. He had a chat with him in a dark way within ten minutes of his time.
The reason why Majik, who is only one meter tall, can pat the shoulders of Head, who is much taller than him, is because Head squatted and talks to him. There is no way. He was very worried that he would crush the small chair and bed for Majik's house if he sat down.
"And, when I first arrived here, I was also a citizen of LV1. Now I have become a citizen of LV47 and a magic charger of LV31." Majik said optimistically, "Although you don't have any special abilities yet, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will always find a job that suits you. Then you can earn some money to buy some crystal cores to improve your abilities, and you can gradually improve your strength and find a higher-paid job. This is how everyone comes here."
"Well, let's go." Head reluctantly raised his spirits. Now he can only support the currency of three days of food rations. It is a benefit for new arrivals in Roland City to become a formal citizen of the empire. Although his current residence can be used for one month for free, he still has to pay rent in the future. So we can't think too much. First of all, we have to find a way to avoid being hungry and not sleeping on the streets in the future.
