Chapter 28: Two New Professions
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Mo found a long chair and sat down.
He took out his phone and pretended to be browsing the forum, but his eyes were fixed on the game interface.
With a thought, the card draw interface immediately opened.
The familiar vast starry sky quickly appeared before his eyes.
Su Mo took a deep breath and clicked on the button to draw ten consecutive times in the lower right corner.
“Gold! Gold!” He shouted in his heart.
A ray of purple light streaked across the starry sky.
“Alright, a gold item in just ten draws is just wishful thinking. It’s alright since a purple item is guaranteed.”
A purple light flashed, and the result of the card draw was immediately displayed on the interface.

[Skill: Finger Sword]
Although it was an existing skill, he could accept it. After all, the 10% proficiency would save him a lot of training time.
Following this, Su Mo clicked to draw 10 again.

[Skill: Storm Sword]
[Skill: Wise Heart]
Well, storm sword was also considered an acquaintance, but what the hell was the wise heart?
Su Mo roughly looked at the skill description.
[Wise Heart]: Able to detect the enemy’s malice, the effective range is 30 meters.
It seemed to be a passive skill, but it was somewhat useful.
After all, he could only see the HP bar above a demon’s head. If the one who wanted to hurt him was a human, this skill would be useful.
Moreover, Su Mo was surprised to find that the wise heart was actually a skill of the staff bearer profession.
In other words, when he obtained a new profession, all the skills of the profession will be added to the card pool, thus further expanding the card pool.
The more Transcendent professions he drew, the more skills he could draw from the card pool. Of which many were skills that had yet to be mastered by the Transcendents in the real world.
This was undoubtedly a good thing for him. At the very least, it would be difficult for his opponent to guess his ability.
Following this, Su Mo continued with a new round of ten draws.
Round after round of drawing ten consecutive draws, he was getting closer and closer to finishing 100 draws and thus obtaining the guaranteed gold item.
His heart got more and more anxious as well.
Every time he tapped to draw, he felt that the stars would definitely emit a golden light the next time.
After a series of illusions, the golden light finally arrived.
At this moment, Su Mo was not surprised at all.
Instead, he wanted to laugh, because the gold light had only appeared during the guaranteed 100th draw!
“F*ck, even if I was lucky last time, you don’t have to treat me like this, right?” Su Mo was speechless.
At this moment, the golden light had dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

[Profession: Priest]
To think it was the priest profession. Seeing the result of the draw, Su Mo was quite surprised.
He naturally knew about priests. Wu Linfeng, who had treated Wang Linglan, was a priest. Moreover, the other party was a level 3 priest who was in the middle of his advancement ritual.
After that, he did some research on the priest profession. There were clearly more people in this profession than in the staff bearer profession.
The highest the profession could reach was level 9. If a priest could successfully break through the last level barrier, the profession would thus become the 13th official Transcendent profession with a complete path.
Of course, the priest profession wasn’t the only Transcendent profession that was stuck at level 9, which was the last and most difficult step.
Perhaps even after a few decades, they might not be able to see a priest break through past level 9.
However, for him, to be a priest below level 9 was more than enough.
Different from the staff bearer profession, priests not only had the ability to fight, but also the ability to heal.
As such, in Su Mo’s eyes, this profession was even more valuable than the staff bearer.
After all, there were not many combat professions that were stronger than the sword saint.
As for some support professions that had other uses, the more the better.
In his career plan, the development priority of these support professions was far higher than that of the other combat professions.
Su Mo decided to make the priest profession his second profession after the sword saint.
One should know that a priest’s healing ability could not only heal others but also themselves. This would give him more room for error in battle.
Thinking about it, having a healer with him was much better than fighting alone.
After making the decision, the resentment of only getting one guaranteed gold item also dissipated.
Su Mo’s gaze was then attracted by the skill that had been drawn at the same time as the priest profession.
Snake staff. Just from its name, one would think that it was a staff with a coiling snake pattern.
But in fact, it was a skill, a combat skill of the staff bearer profession. It was an ability to use the staff. The attack would be fast, accurate, and ruthless, like a poisonous snake, sharp and ruthless.
“The problem is, I don’t even have a staff,” Su Mo looked at the retractable sword in his hand, feeling a little restless.
But soon, he suppressed this restlessness and started a new round of card drawing.
After ten consecutive draws, the familiar purple light lit up again.
Su Mo had thought that this would be the same boring and uninteresting card drawing process as before, but after the purple light dissipated, he received a new skill that he had never seen before.
[Poison Immunity]. As its name suggested, it simply allowed him to be immune to poison. The higher the level, the more immune one would be to stronger poisons. It was also a passive skill that only a priest could have.
He did not expect that right after he drew the priest profession, the card pool would immediately have the profession’s skill.
Of course, if he did not enter the new profession, he would not be able to use the skill even if he got it.
However, under normal circumstances, even if it was a particularly trashy profession, no one would choose to not enter the profession, right?
After all, one could get a new ability for free after taking up a new profession.
Su Mo shook his head and continued to draw cards.
After that, up to the 90th draw, he didn’t get any priest skills.
He expressionlessly clicked on the last ten consecutive draws.
As he looked at the golden light in the starry sky, he thought, “As expected of the conservation law of luck. The end of luckiness is unluckiness, and the end of unluckiness is luckiness. The probability doesn’t lie. Do you think I’ve never studied probability theory? Those who are good at mathematics are all cunning. I’ve only gotten the guaranteed gold time in the end. This is already the bottom. Next, it’ll be an upward curve.”
…
Su Mo’s thoughts ran wild.
A golden light flashed, and the results of the card draws were immediately displayed on the interface.

[Skill: Snake Staff]
[Profession: Marksman]
Hmm? Marksman?
Su Mo’s eyes widened.
To think he drew a long-ranged profession?
In his shock, Su Mo could not help but look at the gentle and timid Xu Huimei not far away. He didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, he would become a peer of the other party.
To be honest, Chu Qingwu could be considered his peer as well. She was his senior, so maybe he could ask her for advice…
Question: How to increase the accuracy of shooting?
Chu Qingwu: A mature bullet should learn to find the enemy by itself.
Su Mo thought about it and decided to forget it.
He was certain that the arrows he shot would not be able to do that.
Either way, the second gold item had already been drawn.
Su Mo glanced at his stats. He still had 102 lifespan points. If he used all of them, he could probably earn another gold item. Even if he strictly followed the 70 lifespan base policy, he could still do three more ten consecutive draws.
“Let’s see what I can get from the last thirty draws!” Su Mo clicked on the ten consecutive draws button, and the starry sky lit up…
