How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 35: Advanced

[Professional Skill (Runner), Spatial Perception lv1: You can perceive the fluctuations in the surrounding space. 】

[Obtain occupational skill (gardener), telepathy lv1: You can perceive the spirit of life around you. 】

With the breakthrough of spiritual attributes, these two skills popped up on Lu Ping'an's panel.

"...Judging from the description, they are all qualification-type passive abilities of 'you can do so-and-so'. With these, the door will be opened for you."

Their appearance is not accidental.

Only when the mental power reaches a certain level will it be possible to perceive the surrounding space and life.

Others must first reach the hardware standard before they can gradually sharpen their skills and train their mental power to perceive the outside world and master professional skills.

But Lu Ping'an has accumulated experience and can be used when the conditions are met.

But now, happiness comes too fast, but Lu Ping'an is a little troubled.

"Originally, only runners have a choice, but it seems that gardeners can do it too. Which one to get first?"

[Black iron spell Shudi, requirements for use: Chasing Light LV4 (in the direction of thunderstorms), Quick Flash Breathing lv4 (in the direction of Tiger Fury), spatial awareness lv1, Shudi experience 100/100. 】

The runner's parts have been assembled, and Lu Ping'an can feel that as long as he has a thought, he can master Shudi and complete the progression from mortal to supernatural.

However, the gardener's components are almost unknowingly assembled!

[The black iron spell listens to life, the conditions of use: planting (taboo) lv4, spiritual perception lv1, and once personally cultivated 10 first-order or higher magic plants. 】

Although the last condition is very delicate, I have asked about Chris's safety, and I am sure that I am up to the standard.

And his current gardener occupation skills are planting lv3 (88/100) and grafting lv1 (12/100).

Although it's not up to the level of lv4, it's definitely enough if there will be no surprises after the division tomorrow.

"I thought that gardeners would have to wait for a long time, but I miscalculated. The training of gardeners and runners is not the same thing, and not all occupational skills increase equally."

Runners' "running method" and "breathing method" will be exercised as long as they run, which naturally increases on average. Lu Ping'an subconsciously regards it as the normal state of vocational training.

The gardeners are obviously partial. Ninety-nine percent of low-level gardeners can only plant and cultivate magic plants.

Grafting, transforming magic plants? That is the daily work of the bosses and researchers.

Not to mention that most of the transformation and grafting of magic plants have failed, and the resources consumed by low-level professionals simply cannot be played, and the "knowledge" required for transformation is the most expensive cost.

Even the first-order professional ability of a gardener does not require "grafting" as a basis, which shows that this is indeed a relatively late professional skill.

Lu Pingan's "grafting (pollution broke through to level 1 and earned 12 experience points. I would like to thank Miss Zhao Ying who stayed up late to work on a project and write a paper for her hard work.

Judging from the results, the low-level gardeners are deformed and partial, and the blessings of the secret realm of life have allowed Lu Ping's "planting (taboo to achieve more than double the expected growth, and later reached the advanced standard.

"Chrissy, listen to life....Is this the gardener's professional ability you said of 'communicate with plants'?"

"Yes, but to cooperate with another professional ability, it is communication rather than unilateral listening. But you will know when you are advanced. It is enough for low-level gardeners to listen. It is actually no different from communication."

"So, do you have any suggestions? Which one should I go first?"

Lu Ping was eager to try, and becoming a superpower was also a tempting thing for him.

Rather than waiting for tomorrow's gardener, he wants to complete the advancement now.

"...Didn't I tell you? Professionals, the most important thing is to check and balance..."

"Two together? I've heard from others that every step-up is a pollution shock of qualitative change. Does it take a long time to slow down?"

Lu Ping'an has heard that career advancement is a kind of controllable mutation. Even if many people succeed in advancement, they will lose half their lives and often have to rest for several months or even half a year.

"You said it was 'others'.... The gardener comes first, it is your main path now, the thickest one of the tangled vines, it needs to be rooted deep enough ."

"That's why you asked me not to have more than 3 part-time jobs before deciding on the main path?"

"Incomplete, there are many other reasons, but you don't need to know now, and you can't understand..."

The rest of the words were of little significance. After the direction was determined, Lu Ping'an's plan was also finalized.

After agreeing with Xue En on a plan to return at noon tomorrow, Lu Pingan took a rest and prepared to sleep.

The waiting time is always full of anxiety. When the agreed time arrived, Lu Ping'an completed his qualitative change and took that step.

"It turned out to be so simple..."

Ignore the system prompts like swiping the screen for the time being, but when Lu Pingan activated his "ability", the whole world changed.

All life is alive. The originally peaceful forest turned out to be so noisy.

Bright flowers sway gently in the wind, wild gardens are bright and prosperous, but they are rushing to say to the bees

"My nectar is the best, please help me pollinate and reproduce."

The giant trees rising from the ground are tall and majestic, gathering into a forest with green trees, supporting each other, but the truth is that they are roaring at their companions.

"My sunshine! That is my sunshine. I want to grow taller and get more light."

The vast grasslands and thousands of plants seem to be making the same sound.

"water."

"Food (Nutrition)."

"Sunlight."

"My site (living space)."

In the original fresh world, Lu Ping'an was only moved for a moment, and then he was pulled back to the mortal world by the astonishing noise that surpassed any vegetable market.

All plants are shouting for the resources they need to survive. Survival and reproduction are the only themes of this forest.

"...Whoever says 'selfless plant' to me in the future, I will smear him."

But at this time, Lu Pingan also knew why Chris said that "listening to life" was enough for himself.

These plants, which only crave survival resources, have no basis for intelligent biological communication at all.

In fact, they do not speak, have no organs for vocalization, or even tools for logical thinking.

It's just that Lu Ping'an's telepathy captured their instinctive "craving" and materialized it.

For novice gardeners, this is a very useful ability, and when your flowers are noisy for water, sunlight, and insect pests, the difficulty of taking care of them will be greatly reduced.

[The occupational ability Listening to Life (Dark Iron Lower Spell) has been awakened, please anchor it in reverse as soon as possible to determine the direction of the ability cost. Otherwise, it will be possible to determine the 'price' by itself. 】

At this moment, the forcible intervention of the system is very ignorant.

But Lu Ping'an knew that he couldn't wait any longer. If it was really "random", the fun would be great.

"Anchor death, the sacrifice is right in front of you..."

There are mutual checks and balances between occupations. In order to prevent occupational abilities from getting out of control, internal checks and balances are also required, but this kind of checks and balances are regarded as "prices" by many people.

Under normal circumstances, the target of an ability anchor is a competitor or enemy of the same type.

That is, for life-related abilities like Lu Ping'an, either they also seek anchoring (competition) with other gods of the life-related system, or they seek the opposite of the life-related death system.

Just like the shovel before Lu Ping'an, its price is death. In a sense, life and death are two sides of the same body, and are also classified as one of the six major series (life/death) death department).

[Ask the host to determine the sacrifice and hold the anchoring ceremony manually. 】

The ritual of reverse anchoring is quite simple, and the gods are happy to block rivals and competitors.

Lu Ping'an just killed something at random, then recited the name of God, and completed the anchoring.

But in an instant, the system swiped the screen again, and it actually made the "price" that should be random and optional, too!

Lu Ping'an only glanced at the three items, and was secretly glad that he could choose.

"No wonder the keepers value privacy and integrity so much. Some of the costs are really terrible, while others are just a little troublesome. If you are unlucky, one of the costs may be fatal... , the stronger the ability, the more weaknesses?"

"The price should be well hidden."

The anchoring was completed after the selection, but Lupin noticed a surprise on the system panel, or rather, a fright.

[The host is in the secret territory of the daughter of the forest, and has completed the advanced gardener pathway of his subordinates. Since this step is the first time the host has officially entered the job, the host has obtained the master of the secret realm, the daughter of the forest (simulated personality of the will of the secret realm). Newborn blessing. 】

[The Blessing of the Daughter in the Forest of Life Master (Black Iron Rank): Greatly increases the affinity between the blessed and the magic plant~lightnovelpub.net~ to increase its controllability. Note: The blessing will dissipate after one day, but the effect will be greatly increased during the duration, which is equivalent to a silver blessing. 】

[Message: Sister loves you, do what you want to do! 】

Lu Ping'an was stunned, even frightened.

Is this a coincidence? Or did he really see through everything?

"That son of a **** who pretends to be a ghost! This is her usual method. Her first-time gardener in the secret realm will receive a continuous short-term blessing. Don't take it seriously."

Chris's comfort was very timely.

But she actually had some doubts in the lonely island.

".... Newborn blessings are not all long-term and inefficient garbage blessings, do small favors and small benefits win people's hearts? This is a short-term explosive, right. Is it really...no reason, She doesn't have the ability to see through! Besides, if she sees through, she would have been killed long ago!"

Lu Ping'an outside was at ease, but with supernatural powers, he naturally had to try it out more.

Ordinary plants don't have much meaning. He looked at his demonic plants as the objects of his abilities.

"Sure enough, you are also craving resources for survival and reproduction."

"Huh? Strange, apart from water and nutrition, you are still craving me? What do you need in me? You can't accept a second life point."

"...Oh, what's in my warehouse? Essence of life? It turns out that's how it's used.... Interesting, so interesting!"

Lu Ping'an smiled, he had already seen what was going to happen next.

"Okay, Sister Goddess, maybe your guess is true. Right away, you'll have fun watching."
