Life profession

Amanda could be considered a minor celebrity in Harvey City. After all, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. There weren't many outstanding women.

Amanda was quite pretty and talented in business. This made her popular and admired by many young people in Harvey City. Hua Luo had once been one of Amanda's suitors, but for some reason, he was forced to give up. This had a huge impact on Walcott's outlook on life. That was why Walcott was willing to become Beta's coachman for the sake of power.

As a successful businesswoman, Amanda's ability to gather information was definitely not bad. She kept going in and out of taverns for commoners, banquets and salons where nobles gathered and even chatted with the beggars on the side of the road. In just two short days, she gathered a lot of information and recorded it in her little notebook.

Walcott had been following Amanda the whole time. Most of the time, his gaze was on Amanda.

Walcott had never forgotten about this girl, but he knew very well that without power, he wouldn't be worthy of her. The two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and the throbbing in his heart had lessened a lot.

Now, Walcott was more concerned about himself. In the corner of his vision, there was a "mission" clearly written: Protect Amanda. Now that this mission was over, he had gone from Lvl 1 to Lvl 2.

An indescribable energy washed over his body. In just a few short seconds, Walcott felt that his power had increased a little. And there was a thought in his mind that told him that he had learned a combat specialty, Sly Attack.

Sly Attack: When you and your allies work together to attack the same enemy, or ambush an unsuspecting enemy from the side or behind, your attack speed and weapon sharpness will increase.

After learning about his specialty, Walcott was stunned. Then he quickly realized that he would have to use long-handled weapons in the future, such as spears or rapiers?

Seeing Walcott standing there in a daze, Avatar couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. "Let's not stay here. We need to go back and report the information we've gathered to His Excellency Beta."

Walcott woke up from his astonished thoughts, and a faint self-confidence burst out from his bones. He was now a professional, and his growth rate was very fast. No wonder Beta said that as long as the Inferior Knight didn't die, he would become a Legend sooner or later.

Walcott closed his eyes and suppressed his excitement. He smiled at Amanda. "Alright, let's go."

Seeing Walcott's expression and appearance, Avatar was stunned. Although she didn't know magic and wasn't a professional, she could still see that Walcott's temperament was clearly different. What had happened in such a short time?

Even when Amanda arrived at the hotel, she did not get an answer.

For the past two days, Beta had been staying in the hotel. Shirley had been knitting clothes when she had nothing to do. Although she was a professional, she was still a woman. This kind of thing was not even worth mentioning to her. Moreover, to be able to knit clothes for their beloved was an extremely joyous thing for most women.

Jessica, on the other hand, liked to work. She kept the room very clean. Even if she sat on the ground and rolled around, there wouldn't be a speck of dust on her clothes.

Sitting on a chair, Beta finished reading Amanda's report and frowned. "The Church of Love? Is it the only church in the city? "

"There's also the Dark God Temple," Amanda said slowly. "But the Dark God Temple is too low-key, and there are only five of them. They are not willing to get involved with us mortals at all. On the other hand, although the Church of Love is low-key on the surface, they are actually in contact with almost all the nobles. Some of them are even close. "

"I've written down which noble families are close to the Church of Love."

Beta nodded. Although Avatar wasn't an intelligence agent, her intelligence skills were indeed good. But this wasn't strange. After all, she was a businessman and had a natural sense for intelligence.

Walcott was at the back. Although his gaze often swept over Shirley, most of the time, it still fell on Avatar.

After receiving Beta's affirmation, Amanda hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Betta, can someone like me become a professional?"

Hearing this, Hua Luo's eyes flashed.

Beta, however, was rather curious. "I thought you were only interested in business matters. Do you want to become a professional too? "

Avatar nodded, her eyes shining with desire. In this world, if one had to say what was the most important thing, it had to be strength … As long as one was strong, they could become a mercenary. Although their status wouldn't change much on the surface, the respect they received was intangible.

No matter how rich a commoner was, he would still be ridiculed by the nobles. However, no one would dare to look down on a powerful mercenary or professional, even if he was so poor that he almost had no food to eat, and no one would dare to mock him casually in front of him.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Amanda to want to become a professional.

However, Beta thought for a while and said, "You're a merchant, so you can indeed become a professional, but there's an uncertain factor."

"Is it dangerous?" There was no fear on Amanda's pretty face.

"It's not really dangerous." Beta said slowly, "It's just that I'm not sure what kind of professional you'll become, or if you'll still be a merchant. "

"You mean, I might not be able to become a professional?" Amanda looked worried.

Beta shook his head. "No, you can become a professional if you want to, but there are differences between professionals. For example, swordsmen, magicians, thieves, and so on. "

"I know that." Amanda was confused. "Since it'll definitely succeed, why are there uncertainties?"

"You don't know much about professions." Beta smiled bitterly. "In addition to combat professions, there are also some auxiliary professions, such as blacksmiths, merchants, wanderers, and so on. We prefer to call it a life profession. "

"Merchants are professionals too?" Amanda was confused. "I'm a professional too? But I don't think I'm any different from normal people. "

"You're just a merchant … not a business-type profession." Beta explained, "Merchants are just normal people, but business-type professions aren't normal people. For example, if you're a merchant, you'll usually get a special ability that allows you to see the source of goods! "

Amanda's eyes glowed with a fanatical light. "You can see all goods?"

"It has to do with your level and strength. The higher your merchant level, the more you can see the source of goods. " Beta thought for a moment, then continued, "As far as I know, businessmen have other abilities, such as increasing their bargaining power. Although the combat ability of Life Professions is worse than that of ordinary people, they usually have some convenient abilities. "

Amanda's eyes glowed. "I think I'm very suitable to be a merchant."

"Don't be in a hurry to decide." Beta said, "It's not a problem to give you a place as a profession, but I can't decide what kind of profession you'll become. It could be a combat profession, or a life profession. I know you want to be a merchant, but there's no guarantee. It's possible you'll become a blacksmith, or a hunter, or something special. "

Taking a deep breath, Amanda smiled. "No problem. Whether it's a combat profession or a life profession, it doesn't matter. As long as you can make me a profession, I'm willing to always respect you as my master. "

A girl, a very beautiful girl, saying that she would respect a man as her master. Everyone knew what this meant. Hua Luo closed his eyes slightly, his mind a mess.

Beta didn't have any strange expression, but he was a little surprised. In the game, he spent more time with his friends and less time with other NPCs. A second-class Knight was usually decided internally. Although he knew that becoming a professional was a rare opportunity, he didn't think it would be this difficult.

Even a proud girl like Amanda was willing to give up her freedom and dignity.

Beta thought for a moment and felt that it wouldn't be a problem to give her a second-class Knight, so he said, "Okay. After all, you'll be my accountant. It's good to have enough strength to protect yourself."

Hearing Beta agree, Amanda couldn't help but jump for joy. Then she smiled happily. "Thank you for your generosity, sir. I'll work hard to repay your kindness."

Beta just smiled and had Jessica make Amanda a second-class Knight. A few minutes later, another female Knight was born.

Amanda was very happy to become a professional. As expected, she became a "merchant." After obtaining her new ability, she couldn't wait to try it out in the inn.

"So this wood is from the White Pine Forest."

"This porcelain is a low-quality product from Silver Tree Town? I really can't tell. "

"This gem … I can't tell where it came from. Isn't it strong?"

"Sir Beta, how can I improve my strength?" Amanda stared at her "master" with bright eyes. "Kill enemies to train like them?" "A merchant's way to improve their strength is to do all kinds of business." Beta shrugged. "Of course, you'll receive some quests, but because I've never tried to become a professional, I don't know much about it. You'll have to figure it out yourself." "

Amanda suppressed her excitement. After bowing to Beta, she left with Walcott.

Shirley suddenly asked, "This isn't all a merchant can do, right?" "

Beta nodded. "High-level merchants have more special abilities. Amanda might be of great help to us when she grows up."

In the game, Beta had many life professional players to help, as long as there were gold coins. But in this world, perhaps the number of life professionals was quite small, and it was definitely a good thing if one or two of them were cultivated by his camp.
