Chapter 34: 034 Random Deputy Promotion Book
Trantor: 549690339 I
South Hill Base, Dean McKenzie’s dorm.
Dean McKenzie’s figure emerged from thin air, being sent back from theb by
Ennis Hawkins.
As soon as he arrived home, the rxed smile on Dean’s facepletely disappeared.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it, I’m going to die, I feel like I am genuinely embroiled in some serious trouble.”
Obviously, Dean’s mindset was not as easy as he presented to Ennis.
In fact, he was still quite scared and frantic!
But the problem was that Dean knew well that it was pointless to be afraid.
He had already be involved, the likelihood of extricating himself was practically non-existent.
All that could be done was to grit one’s teeth and bear it.
Fortunately, he was not alone.
Behind him, there was Anthony, and the Professional Alliance.
He was unsure of the support the Professional Alliance could provide, but
Anthony was certainly able to give one a sense of security.
However, the problem was that Dean’s sense of security was a bit lower than the average person.
“Although Anthony said he would spare my life, I still feel nervous!” The sense of tension and oppression suddenly ramped up, prompting Dean to involuntarily open his attribute panel.
Name: Dean McKenzie
Job: Necromancer Apprentice
Talent: Extraction (55.7/1000)
Level: 10
Attributes:
Strength: 0.7, Agility: 0.8, Physique: 0.8, Spirit: 15-2 (2)

Slow Curse (Level 1) (0/100)
Free Attribute Points: 5 points
Equipment:
Skeleton Wand, Bone Ne, crudely-made Maggie Ring
Necromancer Apprentice Robe (ck Iron)
This was Dean’s current attributes.
With his equipment, his Spirit rose to a whopping 17.2, and he had 572 Mana
Points.
These attributes were quite a stand-out at level 10.
But Dean didn’t get ahead of himself. He felt no sense of security in seeing this attribute.
After all, he was only a rookie who had just been promoted.
Moreover, his attributes may be impressive for level 10, but they were definitely not top-notch.
Just one piece of ck Iron Equipment had provided him with such a considerable increment in attributes, now thinking back about Boss Hammer in Skeleton Cave, Dean estimated she had a minimum of two to three ck Iron Equipment.
Plus, the Excellent Temte.
Dean couldn’t even dare to imagine her attributes.
If Boss Hammer at level 5 was like this, not to mention the so-called Fallen Professionals who Ennis was even wary of.
“Fortunately, I should still have time to grow.
ording to Anthony, that Demon Box needs to reach at least level 20 andplete the promotion before it can be opened.
So, if nothing unexpected happens, I should currently be just a small fish. Until
I get fat, until my level reaches 20, and until Iplete my promotion, they probably won’te looking for me.
This period of time is my growth window.”
“I’m currently just an Elite Temte Necromancer Apprentice. Even if I grow to level 20 andplete my promotion, my power should still be limited.
But no one knows I have the Extraction Talent.
If they let me grow freely then by the time I reach Level 20 and havepleted the first turn, my power will surely far exceed everyone’s expectation.
This is my hidden card, a card I’ve yet to reveal even to Anthony.”
It might just save my life in a critical moment.
So, what I need to do next is as much as possible without drawing attention.
Quietly develop myself!”
“Let’s set a small goal, elevate my [Talent] to level 2 and the Bone Shield skill as quickly as possible to level 3!
Start the second enhancement.
Also, I need to improve my temte as much as possible before one-turn transition!
However!”
Speaking of improving the quality of his temte, Dean McKenzie’s brow suddenly furrowed.
It’s not that he’s bothered about enhancing the quality of his temte.
But he suddenly thought of an issue.
If he abruptly elevated the quality of his temte, he might expose the existence of his own talents.
That would be quite troublesome.
This time he happened to encounter this situation, giving a reasonable exnation for the temte upgrade.
Next time, Dean McKenzie couldn’t guarantee it.
Dean McKenzie was even less assured, what would happen if his talent was exposed?
“Perhaps, I shouldn’t be too concerned. The consequences of exposing my talent might not be as terrible as I imagine. It could even be a good thing. Maybe the Professional Alliance will cultivate me once they find out about my talent!”
Of course, that being said, Dean McKenzie doesn’t intend to expose himself.
After all, this is only an assumption.
‘■This is a future problem. Let’s first enhance what needs enhancement. We can’t let the living be choked to death.
If it really doesn’t work, let’s see if there’s a way to hide the temte.
Now, let’s advance towards our small goals.
As he spoke, Dean McKenzieid out all the items he had collected from the instance in front of him.
He prepared to tally up his current assets, keeping what he could use and selling all the unusable items for money.
After all, his talent required a lot of money.
After a short while, Dean McKenzie had almost finished setting his things in order.
Discarding the equipment already on his body.
There were still 1 gold coin, 75 silver coins, and 800 copper coins left. 10 bottles of[Mana PotionKtiny), 2 bottles of Life Potion, and a[Mana PotionKtiny) recipe.
There was a[Random Deputy Profession Promotion Book](task-based).
In addition, there were afRotten Poison Arrow Bag]and a[Small Fireball Staff], two things that Dean McKenzie couldn’t use.
Dean McKenzie’s gaze first settled on the [Random Deputy Profession Promotion Book].
■■I’ve asked Anthony about the [Random Deputy Profession Promotion Book], it’s something that heavily relies on luck. Currently, there are hundreds of known deputy professions.
Among them are many high-quality ones like the [Pharmacist], [Rune
Master], [Array Master], [Architect Master], and so on. But there are also mundane ones, such as the[Farmer], [Miner], [Lumberjack], and even [Merchant], [Scam Artist], and simr professions.
Your luck determines what profession you will randomly get. What the task turns out to be also heavily depends on your luck. Some tasks are extremely easy, while others are incredibly difficult.” Anthony’s advice to Dean McKenzie was to either use it or, if you don’t want to gamble on your luck, to sell it.
“Should I sell it?
This thing should sell for a few gold coins, right?
The money from the sale can be used to enhance myself, to improve my capabilities.”
No sooner had he said it than Dean McKenzie shook his head, “Never mind, the money I have on hand should be enough for the current enhancements.
Moreover, the[Rotten Poison Arrow Bag]and a few other things can be sold for a considerable amount of money. A little more wouldn’t allow me to skyrocket in power, but if I randomly get a money-making deputy profession, that would be a different story.
In the future, I might never have to worry about money for enhancements again!
Let’s gamble!”
Saying this, Dean McKenzie immediately got to work.
[Ding, You have used the[Random Instance Profession Promotion Book]’(task-based), you have activated the mission, The Development of Talent!]
[Mission: The Development of Talent
Mission Instruction: For the next 30 days, try your best to develop your talent. At the end of the 30 day period, you will be assigned the most suitable deputy profession for you.]
Dean McKenzie’s eyes lit up instantly: “Hey, my luck seems quite good. In this case, won’t I be able to cultivate the talent I desire?”
Thankyou to [”Patroller of the God’s Scythe Region”][“Human from Crowd, High Damage Values”] for your generous rewards!
