50 Choosing Profession

In the VIP room of the ship, Maximus found himself contemplating the choice between being an Alchemist or a Mechanic after reading about their basic introductions.

But why bother studying one of these professions when he can simply buy them in the system mall? Isn't it just a waste of time?

Studying one of these professions isn't just about the potential wealth and resources.

After all with his system mall, he can just resell rare items or products if he needed money.

The saying knowledge is wealth in his previous world isn't just a saying here but a fact. 

In fact, without knowledge, your wealth isn't truly yours as it can be snatched by someone stronger than you.

Knowledge is the path of strength, the foundation of magic.

This is also the reason for various academies specialize in different fields of magic rather than just studying magic to attack or destroy.
