Chapter 102: Orchi


    Trantor: 549690339


    “Knowledge truly is power!”


    “That Donald, he worked all sorts of schemes in college just to gain a transcendent profession while Catherine and Ynis were lucky, taken under the wing of the Ancient Snake Society by ck, though it’s difficult to say what they had to give in return… Even I didn’t have much of a choice once.”


    With a casual nce, Su Lu found more than five transcendent upations, “Little did I know… joining a genuine power, bing a core member, inheritance maybe not, but bing a transcendent, not an issue.”


    He thought for a moment, then reached out for the book “How to Be a Spellcaster”.


    In an instant, resistance surfaced, and a notice appeared: “Reading this book requires 80 points and may not be taken out of the White Tower!”


    “So expensive, but in other words, in Green Tree Castle, with a hundred points, one can basically choose any entry-level upational information…” Su Lu did not withdraw, instead he headed to the third floor.


    This is the limit for Two Leaves members


    The third floor of the White Tower.


    Sources of light floated in the void, with no windows on all sides, it gave a sense of oppressive enclosure.


    The number of bookshelves here was fewer than the second floor, but mostly covered mysterious knowledge. On the central shelves, arge amount of upational information emerged:


    [Soldier], [Apprentice], [Assistant Priest], [Swordsman], [Beast Shepherd]…


    Not just entry-level, but also some second-level upational information.


    For instance, the second level [Swordsman] is an advanced branch of the first level [Soldier]. Moreover, [Soldier] also had the option of advancing to [Gunfighter] or [Cavalry]!


    “And also… [Assistant Priest]? Does this mean a trainee priest? A entry level position in the church?”


    Su Lu skimmed through quickly and found it quite beneficial.


    Of course, while there weren’t many entry-level transcendent professions, this ce didn’t cover them all either.


    For example, the entry-level [Pact Demonist], and [Spirit Medium] and so on.


    Su Lu reckons that these upations either seemed too mysterious, or too perilous. To genuinely want upational data, one presumably had to move another floor up.


    Pity with his level of authority, reaching the third floor is already at the limit.


    ‘However… my purpose ining here was to seek the prerequisite for [Wandering Mage]… If I can’t even find the information here, then I would have to give it up. I’ll have to advance on the [Mysterious Master] path and consider taking on another profession.’


    Su Lu recalled from the employee handbook and found the environment in Green Tree Castle’s Inner Circle pretty rxed.


    New employees are given three months to, either advance to be a transcendent, or adapt, attend sses and learn.


    After three months, some research tasks would be given, many of them rting to transcendent powers.


    Of course, one could also apply to research a specific topic independently, or even lead an experimental team, but to do so, one either had to present a convincing prospect to persuade the Green Tree Council in the Inner Circle, or directly exchange it with enough points.


    His five hundred or so points, just wouldn’t suffice.


    “Hello, may I ask if you’re Mr. Pottery?”


    As he was contemting, a voice suddenly interrupted his train of thought.


    “Yes?”


    Su Lu looked up to see a handsome Caucasian man in his twenties, with slightly curly burgundy hair, and an air of self-confidence.


    “Hello, who might you be?”


    “Orchi Francis! ”


    The young man with the burgundy hair answered cheerfully, the three green leaf-shaped badges on his chest flickered, “I follow Tutor Spa!”


    “Hello!”


    Su Lu recalled the data and found that there was only one tutor named Spa in the Inner Circle. His status right below the ninth seat, Sleydon Watt, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is there something you need?”


    “As a matter of fact… I’ve read your paper, and I’m very interested in the device called ‘Telegraph’. It’s going to change the world!”


    Orchi was very direct, “You may not know this, but I’m also part of the Francis conglomerate. I like your invention, and I want to put it to work.”


    Su Lu’s heart stirred, but his face did not reveal anything: “How will you put it to work?”


    He had heard of the Francis conglomerate, a considerable force spread across the Federation, primarily engaged in the media field.


    “I’ll establish a telegraphpany, you get stocks in thepany in exchange for the patent rights, I’ll give you 20% of the shares!”


    Orchi had it all thought out, “What do you think?”


    “Not good. It’s worth 50%!”


    Su Lu shook his head, “You know, even among transcendent beings,munication can be achieved through certain special means with fast speed, but it can’t be poprized… We can’t take batches of transcendent beings as energy source and Telegraph operators, but the Telegraph is different. It does not rely on mysterious power at all and can be operated and maintained by normal people. It is a world-changing invention.”


    “But… the cost ofying the telegraph line is tremendous; without scale investment, it would be hard to make a profit!”


    Orchiughed, “You wouldn’t want to lock it up in a safe deposit box for decades, would you? If you think the shares are not enough, we can discuss it further.”


    “That… I need to consider.”


    Su Lu answered apologetically.


    This matter, of course, couldn’t be settled in just a few words.


    At the very least, he also needed to go back and investigate this person and the forces behind him.


    “No problem.”


    Orchi readily agreed, then nced at the bookshelves around him:


    “Considering the path to transcendent? I rmend you take a look at the upational Encyclopedia! It’s on this floor, including a lot ofmon transcendent careers, although only introductive, it’s enough for makingparisons and choices.”


    “Oh? Thanks!”


    Su Lu’s eyes lit up. He thanked him immediately.


    Perhaps, only a powerhouse like Green Tree Castle Laboratory, which had gathered a mass of upational information, couldpile an introductory encyclopedia like this.


    While it was definitely iplete, it was already enough for beginner reference.


    “Excuse me!”


    Orchi politely saluted before leaving the White Tower.


    “Hehe… You failed, didn’t you?”


    Behind him, a woman who appeared out of nowhere said in a yful voice: “A researcher who invented the Telegraph wouldn’t be a fool; how could he be tricked by a few words from you?”


    “That’s my business!”


    A sh of anger crossed Orchi’s face: “Do your job, Jess!”


    “I know… it’s a pity that the ninth seat moved too quickly. If he was just an Outer Ring researcher, then we would have many ways…” Jess didn’t leave, but licked her lips. “Is that even necessary? But… I’ll figure something out!”


    Orchi muttered somewhat frustratedly.


    Once you enter the Inner Circle, you are officially under the protection of the Green Tree Council. Some actions could not be taken and can only be handled through the proper channels.


    However, even so, in an organization, there were still factions, and differences in the level, there’s bound to be loopholes!
