Big Cat's teaching gave Lu Ping'an a more complete understanding of the life system.
Perhaps "animals" and "plants" have more detailed classifications and other names in other worlds, but in Lu Ping'an's view, they are more like "producers (transformers)" and "consumers (predators)"
"Two major directions of evolution.
And his explanation to the gardener also made Lu Pingan more and more confident in the prospect of "Zhongzhong Garden Master (Bonsai Designer)".
"Before, I was thinking whether this profession deviated from the right path of a gardener... But from the practical point of view of using magic plants to create scenery, this profession is simply the embodiment of the gardener's spirit! Forcibly let
The magic plant creates the scenery he wants and expresses the beauty in his mind, a utilitarian and arrogant gardener...human being."
After figuring this out, Lu Ping'an was determined on the path to advancement.
I have to admit that Big Cat’s experience and “legacy” are the root of Lu Ping An’s rapid progress.
"... Could it be that I have become a charterer and can earn millions a month just by sitting?"
The more he understands the world of professionals, the more Lu Pingan understands the weight of the "Secret Courtyard" and "Life Bank".
The former, just the part shown now, is a priceless treasure.
Under normal circumstances, gardeners can only spend money to rent a certain area in the secret realm, and have to bear extremely high costs and rents. After a series of setbacks, compared with the market and large companies, they can maintain their capital and steadily improve, which is considered a big win.
.
After all, no matter how much "real income" there is, various programs, processes, platforms, and large companies will cut the profits of self-employed individuals to the extreme at every unavoidable link.
Do you need agricultural tools? Do you need seeds? Do you need polluted fertilizers? Do you need sellers? Do you need growers? Do you need distributors... Even if only one link cannot be controlled, the income will be greatly diluted.
.
But Lu Ping An, as long as he manages his "farmland" well, he can obtain raw materials stably without even investing in additional resources (additional pollution costs)... A regular-level land of life, this
It is beyond the dream limits of most gardeners.
As long as you hire another potion master, you can steadily turn a large amount of raw materials into low-level potions with unlimited market demand.
Lu Ping'an's secret realm should also be able to build "regular facilities" needed by potion masters and even doctors to further increase production and profits.
Give Lu Ping An a year or two. As long as the Land of Life is developed and a few trustworthy and reliable laborers are found, Lu Ping An can enjoy the nutrients needed for growth... The only problem is still him
there is no time.
The latter, the Life Bank, made up for his missing time to a certain extent, and was the basis for him to try to reach the second level in just one month.
You know, Xia Qin once said that it takes an average person about one and a half years to reach the first level.
For knowledge-accumulating professions such as scholars, three years is a stable average value. Even for elite geniuses, it takes just over a year.
"...It seems that it's not difficult to be a first-level scholar. It's been half a month since the beginning, well, it's been almost ten days since I got it."
Lu Ping'an thought about it and pressed the system button in the void, and then there was a prompt like refreshing the screen.
[Dark Iron Level Super Power Pollution Pen: Pour pollution into the ‘pen’ and write extraordinary characters, marks, and patterns.].
[Requirements for use: writing level 4, reading level 4, black iron low mental power, pollution pen experience 100/100.]
This is the prerequisite ability that Lu Ping'an needs as a second-level gardener, and it naturally becomes the target ability that he uses to advance to the first-level scholar.
Unlike ordinary professionals who need to try their luck, Lu Ping'an can directly obtain the desired goal after collecting the accessories.
The Black Iron power, Tainted Pen, shows that it is very powerful, but its effect is the same as other scholars' low-level powers, which is completely weak.
When you first own it, it can only make the pollution factors in your handwriting thicker, shiny, and have a personal style... To put it bluntly, it is a large graffiti signature tool.
"Fire streamer signature! Great!"
On Lu Ping'an's desk, there are already a dozen signatures of various colors, with various flames and flowing handwriting that are very eye-catching.
It is a waste now, but it does not mean that it will be useless in the future. It (the Pen of Pollution) and the process of obtaining it are both an exercise in outputting pollution and are the basis for higher-order abilities.
"Thank you, Lao Ke."
Lu Pingan returned a "pen" to Lao Ke, which he had borrowed for practice.
The Pen of Pollution is a superpower, but the "pen" doesn't necessarily need to be a pen.
It is just a medium for outputting pollution. Paintbrushes, swords, and even sticks can all be used as "pollution pens."
Its ability is to increase the "writing" effect, increase its output limit in a short period of time, and even achieve various light and shadow effects (the simplest visual pollution effect).
But if you use the "pen", which is a taboo item, as a carrier, it will be much easier to practice and improve.
Obtaining the first-level scholar ability also means that Lu Ping'an has completed a qualitative change.
[Hey, congratulations to the host, the pen of awakening scholar’s first-level supernatural power, ‘Scholar (Forbidden Bachelor)’ has advanced from level zero to level one. 】
[Re-adjustment of scholar career modification: Physical strength will decrease slightly, reflexes will decrease slightly, and spirit will increase moderately.]
At this moment, a violent shock started in my mind.
Lu Ping'an felt weak all over, but his spirit became inexplicably high. A stream of heat lingered in his eyes, temples, and forehead, and his whole body seemed to have a fever.
He felt a little dizzy, and this time it lasted for a full ten minutes... This also hinted to him that many advanced processes could no longer be as casual as before.
He lay on the seat as if falling asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he felt that the world was much clearer and the surroundings were much more vivid.
Everything was painted with a layer of brighter colors, as if I had spiritual vision, but it was much calmer, without the strong sense of fragmentation and unreality.
That subtle feeling made Lu Pingan reach out and grab... the waste paper on the table was dragged into the air, and then piled neatly.
The special skill of releasing mental power, after the mental power is greatly increased, the range of use is doubled, the accuracy is greatly increased, and it can even be used to grab paper.
At the same time, those professional abilities linked to mental power have obviously received a large increase, such as the gardener's life perception ones.
Lu Ping'an vaguely noticed that perhaps this was the biggest gain from the promotion of the scholar job. Even though he still had the mental power of a low-ranking black iron, he was not far away from breaking through to the next stage.
Level 0 improvement turns general skills into professional skills. Level 1 actually further transforms the physical hardware to make it more suitable for your profession.
The inexplicable feeling of emptiness made Lu Ping'an grab a bottle of "tonic", which was the magic potion that Miss Lululu had just refined.
Lu Ping'an was a little worried. With such a pressure on his body, he wouldn't be able to lower his black iron mid-range body that he had finally lifted up.
"Will it be deducted?"
"Yes, this is a rough rating."
The shocked Lu Ping'an gritted his teeth again and took another bottle of medicine.
After obtaining the Pen of Pollution, and the professional skills of two scholars reaching level 4 or above, there are not many "thresholds" left for second-level gardeners.
The last gap in the gardener's life ability, life shock, is actually not that difficult for Lu Ping'an. After adding the ability of "external mental power", I just have to wait for Brother Guan to help me fill in the ability experience.
....Lu Pingan silently sent a text message.
The most difficult mental breakthrough was not far away, but the one that stuck him the most had become level 7 of the four professional skills of scholar and gardener.
The most worrying thing is naturally the grafting skill requirements of level 7... For these, we can only rely on the leeks to work harder. Lu Pingan continued to write text messages, and he had already made an appointment to meet the new leeks.
Time, just time, he was about to take the most difficult step for a professional.
But the reality for professionals seems to be that there is never enough time.
