Chapter 3: Chapter 3: What the Hell is My Priest's Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique?
"Next!"
"Yang Lin,"
As Gao Yang read out the list, Song Chaoyu and the other students descended from the high platform in a stupor.
Before they even reached the bottom, tears slid down their pale faces.
Awakening failed!
They would remain ordinary people for the rest of their lives!
Wasn't their mother's hope for them just like a mirage - beautiful yet unattainable?
"He Chen, Peng Xiaoyun, Zheng Cheng...!"
Upon Gao Yang's call, another group of students emerged from the lineup.
Zheng Cheng abruptly stood up, taking a deep breath.
It was finally his turn.
Chen Xiao fist-bumped him from the side, "Brother Cheng, you've got this!"
Zheng Cheng nodded, stepping onto the high platform.
"Keep going, students, don't be nervous..." Gao Yang repeated as he came behind Zheng Cheng.
Of the ten people, only Zheng Cheng had the highest mental threshold, reaching a full 1.9.
Such a data even surpassed the wealthy second-generation and professional-generation students of Classes 1, 2 and 3. He had a high chance of successful awakening!
"Your mental threshold is as high as 1.9. If it wasn't close to the end of the term, you might have been assigned to the first class. Don't be nervous, just meditate carefully..."
Zheng Cheng placed his hand on the awakening crystal, his mind blank.
Suddenly, he could clearly feel a warm current flowing out of the profession crystal and into his body.
"This is..."
On the high platform, the awakening crystal once again emitted a milky white light that enveloped Zheng Cheng!
"He's awakened!"
"Zheng Cheng has succeeded!"
"Hahaha, Brother Cheng, I knew you could do it..."
Hearing the murmurs in his ear, Zheng Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
A milky white radiant mark appeared on his forehead, quickly disappearing.
Around him, the other nine students, however, were filled with envy and frustration.
Gao Yang also joyfully said, "Zheng Cheng, congratulations, you have successfully awakened!"
"Profession, Priest! Professional rank...three stars!"
Priest?
Zheng Cheng blinked, confused. How did I awaken to be a priest? He had wanted to become a wizard!
He dreamed of being a mobile artillery that, with a staff in his hand, could drown his enemies in a sea of flames or a gust of wind from a hundred meters away. How did he end up as a healer?
Though both were considered psychic-based remote professionists, how could a healer compare to a wizard?
"Pfft...a three-star priest? That's the most basic profession, isn't it?"
"Yes! The Professional Encyclopedia states that priests, warriors, archers, boxers, and soldiers are the most basic three-star professions."
"It's only slightly better than one-star professions like soldiers, militiamen, butchers, and pharmacists."
"It's weird to see a big man suddenly become a healer."
"Are you dumb? Male healers are popular now. I heard they smell like milk."
"Get lost!!!"
"Huh? This healer is quite handsome. If he teams up with a girl..."
The out-of-class students started discussing again, but this time their voices were low.
They understood that even the lowest-ranking three-star profession would hold a higher status than them in the future!
"Although it's only rated three stars, the profession of a priest is very popular."
"They play a vital role in a team."
Gao Yang encouraged from the side. No matter what, the awakening was a success.
"Whether it's fighting monsters to level up, challenging dungeons, or entering secret realms, you'll be welcomed by professionist teams."
"If you could find a corresponding profession transfer book in the future, you can advance to a higher-ranked Guardian Priest, Healing Priest, or even a Holy Light Priest."
"A Holy Light Priest is a seven-star profession. They can even master a god-like skill like Revival!"
"If you ever enter the Alien Battlefield in the future, you'll be a prime target for countless professionists to protect. Very safe!"
"Thank you, Teacher Gao!"
Zheng Cheng let out a long sigh and descended the high platform.
He had only awakened as a three-star priest, which was just ordinary.
If a comparison had to be made, he was probably just slightly better than Zhang Ping'an's one-star pharmacist.
As for the transfer book that Teacher Gao mentioned...
That's a joke.
He was just an ordinary person. The price of a single transfer book could be over a million.
To obtain a high-star transfer book was nothing short of a dream!
But when he saw the envy and helplessness on the faces of his classmates, especially those with red-rimmed eyes like Song Chaoyu, he felt better.
They were still ordinary people after all!
The awakening ceremony continued, but Zheng Cheng had lost interest. He went back to his seat.
"Hehehe, congratulations, Brother Cheng..." Chen Xiao leaned in close. "Although a priest is a support profession, it is as indispensable to the team as my profession."
"A male healer, and he can heal girls. How envious..."
"Get lost!"
"By the way, Brother Cheng, quickly check what your novice skill is. Do you have any recovery skills?" Chen Xiao said. "If you have recovery skills, we can start recruiting people to form a team."
"I'll be the MT, tanking the enemies. You'll be the healer, healing me. When we recruit a few high-star female main attackers later on, haha, won't that be delightful..."
"What's your novice skill?"
Zheng Cheng asked subconsciously after hearing this.
"Earth Guard, a protective skill. It's a pity it's not a taunt, which would make pulling monsters more stable."
Once anyone becomes a professionist, they will have a personal attribute panel.
At the same time, they also gain the ability to absorb soul power, equip gear, and enter dungeons.
The four attributes are physical constitution, strength, agility, and spirit.
Each professionist's initial attributes will be randomly allocated to the four attributes based on their professions.
The maximum could be anywhere between 1 to 10 points.
Every future level-up will reward different amounts of attribute points depending on the star rating of the profession.
As for novice skills, that's the first and only skill that every professionist acquires upon awakening.
There is no pattern to awakening novice skills; it will only awaken a low-level skill of their current profession.
For example, Chen Xiao, as an Earth Knight, awakened Earth Guard.
Another Earth Knight could awaken Resolve Taunt, a passive skill that increases physical constitution, a charge, or similar skills.
Being a priest, the novice skill he was most likely to awaken would be low-level healing spells or treatment spells.
As long as it's not a support skill like the Light Technique or a poison removal spell.
