Chapter 6: A Bully Gets What a Bully Deserves

I can only look at two pages? That means I can only use the professions on these two pages right now. Energy Level is the classification for professionals. Milna Katrina is at the Fourth Energy Level, while Griffin West is actually as high as the Fifth Energy Level! According to their memories, both had seen terrifyingly powerful beings at the Seventh Energy Level, but they had never had the chance to encounter the supreme beings at the Ninth Power Level. Such existences are probably not bound by the Star Sea. Their form of life has reached a level that is incomprehensible to ordinary people. Chen Gu assessed his performance. If I were to fuse with memories now, I could probably only exert the strength of the First Energy Level... If I can advance my own strength to the First Energy Level of a professional, then when fusing with memories, I could at least exert the power of the Second Energy Level. Chen Gu stepped out, his heart ablaze with anticipation. He stroked his chin and smacked his lips. Nuclear Explosion Nun, Star Battle Instructor... These two professions seem to be all about brute force. That isn’t good for me. As an actor, I prefer to solve problems with finesse—too much violence isn’t good... However, with an insufficient Energy Level, he was unable to access the memories of other professionals. So, it seems my primary task right now should be to advance my Energy Level as soon as possible. But how do I do that...? Suddenly, Chen Gu’s eyes lit up. He entered the mysterious space again, allowing the memories of the two professionals to "possess" him separately. Indeed, he found the memories of the Nuclear Explosion Nun and the Star Battle Instructor pertaining to their training and advancement. Previously, Chen Gu had only focused on memories related to the professionals’ abilities. This time, however, the focus was on training and advancement—a myriad of relevant memories that caused him to frown deeply. To become a professional, one needs to undergo plentiful preparation, extremely arduous training, and learning. Different professions also have their own prerequisite conditions. For instance, becoming a Nuclear Explosion Nun requires a devout faith in the Atomic Holy Church. Once everything is prepared, one must gather ’supermatter’ and enter the genesis chamber specific to one’s profession. Even with the most thorough preparation, the probability of becoming a professional does not exceed thirty percent, and for some professions, it’s only ten percent. Yet, I have never entered any genesis chamber. During memory possession, however, I am able to become the corresponding professional. Moreover, professionals absolutely can’t hold multiple professions, but this book, ’The Past of Four Hundred People,’ has helped me break this common understanding. The training of a professional involves continuously using one’s abilities. Once the total number of uses reaches a certain standard, one can attempt a breakthrough. During the breakthrough, if one has some supermatter, the likelihood of advancement greatly increases. But I’m not actually a professional, so how do I advance my own Energy Level? Chen Gu was somewhat at a loss. Does this mean I have to first become a particular type of professional? I possess the complete memories of two professionals. Wanting to become a professional and finding training methodologies are not problems. The most important things are supermatter and the genesis chamber. Supermatter originates from super lifeforms... Chen Gu rapidly opened the Starwide Quantum Net and began searching. To his surprise, information on "super lifeforms" and "supermatter" was scarce, and even information on professionals was exceedingly limited. Hmm... It seems that matters regarding super lifeforms and professionals still remain secrets to ordinary people. This is understandable. After all, both super lifeforms and professionals can be considered enigmatic existences at the very limits of science. To the common populace accustomed to technology, if these matters were to spread, it would lead to a collapse in perception, and that wouldn’t be a good thing. Thinking about it, no one could resist the temptation of such immense power. If everyone knew about them, they would certainly pursue becoming professionals en masse. The number of people willing to engage in scientific research would diminish significantly. Since human civilization is technology-oriented, this would lead to a deformation of civilization and, ultimately, its destruction. As for the origins of the professions and exactly how many there are, that information was nowhere to be found online. However, from the memories of Milna Katrina and Griffin West, Chen Gu did learn of a few other professions, such as Quantum Wizards, Ternary Agents, Relative Arbitrators, and Brain Domain Hackers. But these two folks—Milna did nothing but pray devotedly every day and find new ways to redecorate her dressing room, while Griffin spent sixteen out of twenty-four hours training. They had no interest in the origins of the professions, so naturally, they had no memories related to that. Chen Gu could only let out a sigh. What a pair of blockheads... There was a lot of other important information, but it wasn’t currently relevant to Chen Gu. He sorted through it slowly and carefully. The immediate problem was that he needed to become a professional and acquire an Energy Level. Chen Gu had two options: Nuclear Explosion Nun and Star Battle Instructor. He liked neither, but he couldn’t possibly choose to be a nun, right? Sigh, fighting and killing isn’t my style, he thought. But in the end, he had no choice but to pick Star Battle Instructor and then set up a training plan for himself. As for supermatter and genesis chambers... he’d figure that out later. After busying himself with all this, Chen Gu rubbed his stomach. Hungry again, he thought. He raided his fridge, only to be shocked to find that half of his food stock was gone after just two meals! According to his usual eating habits, this stock should have lasted him an entire week. He let out a wry smile, then lay back down on his bed. Soon, he fell asleep—he had to wake up early for school the next day. 「...」 The alarm clock promptly woke Chen Gu at 4:30 in the morning. Following the training regimen of a Star Battle Instructor, Chen Gu completed two and a half hours of laborious exercise, drenched in sweat. I actually made it through the whole thing! Chen Gu was astonished. It had indeed been tough, and there were several times when he almost gave up. An hour at the gym, and I used to be dead tired. This training is easily more than ten times harder than those gym workouts! Chen Gu muttered to himself, The physical qualities of this body are really not bad! After a shower that washed away the sweat, Chen Gu felt an even stronger sense of hunger than the day before. Opening the fridge, he glared fiercely at the remaining half of his stock. "Come to my bowl!" he declared. As expected, he polished off the rest of his food in that one sitting. At 7:30, Chen Gu, full of energy, left for school. Just as he descended the stairs, he saw that the flashy, luxurious car from the day before had been drawn all over with cute and edible little animals such as turtles, ducks, and rabbits. The drawings were crooked and diverse. The short, plump car owner was fuming, standing by the building with hands on his hips, shouting at the entire building, "Which little rascal did this?! Get your butt out here right now! You even used nano-paint, damn it! It can’t even be washed off! Are you deliberately targeting me?! My car cost 1,200,000! I’ll break your damn legs!" Chen Gu straightened his clothes and walked away nonchalantly, nodding inwardly. A teachable youth indeed. The wicked will be tormented by their own kind. And if they aren’t, I’ll gladly push another tormentor their way to get the job done.
