The next day, Jiang Kai and his companions had already returned to the main city of the Eighteenth District.
The heart of a Commander-level Heavenly Fire Tree was quite expensive, but it was always assumed that 5 grams constituted a portion in class change materials.
5 grams of the heart of a Commander-level Heavenly Fire Tree cost only 50,000 Star Coins.
In addition, he bought 5 grams of Silver Iron, spending 140,000 Star Coins, and a class change container for 1,500 Star Coins.
Afterward, Jiang Kai returned to the Main God Guild's residence.
Upon learning about Jiang Kai's materials, Ruan Yu took the initiative to handle the task of crafting the class change materials.
Jiang Kai frowned and said, "I still need 5 grams of dust, 5 grams of air, 5 grams of rainwater..."
"Don't worry, Kai. The second-tier class change materials for a Gourmet require a rare gas material. The technology for collecting and fusing gases has long been mature, and as for dust and rainwater, they're even easier to collect," Ruan Yu said. "Old Hu, Kai needs your water for his class change!"
Hu Yan naturally obliged without hesitation.
Jiang Kai felt a bit uneasy, thought for a moment, and then said, "By the way, I'm not sure if rainwater is the correct material."
Ruan Yu nodded, "According to what you said, Rootless Water should be rainwater. But even if it's wrong, we can just experiment with it."
Hu Yan had already gone to the courtyard to pray for rain. The amount of water needed wasn't much, so he didn't prepare much and soon summoned a heavy rain.
After collecting the rainwater, Ruan Yu returned indoors to start collecting and fusing the materials.
Jiang Kai anxiously waited in the small pavilion in the courtyard.
Hu Yan watched Jiang Kai pacing back and forth with a cold eye, "Kai, are you having a baby or something? Stop pacing. Ruan the Ghost's skills are reliable."
Jiang Kai shot Old Hu a glare but obediently sat down.
This wait lasted for over an hour!
"Even if it failed, it should have been done by now," Jiang Kai anxiously looked toward the room on his right.
Hu Yan nodded, "Yeah, even though I've never worked in a class change material shop, I know that as long as the materials are complete, the fusion is actually quite simple, taking just a few minutes. But it's been over an hour now."
As they were talking, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Ruan Yu came out.
"Kai, Rootless Water is indeed rainwater! It's all fused!" He said, waving a test tube in his hand at Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai and Hu Yan hurried over.
"Kai, go ahead," Hu Yan said with a smile.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Jiang Kai nodded, took the test tube, and went to his usual room.
After closing the door, Jiang Kai carefully examined the test tube filled with a soil-yellow liquid and even wasted an appraisal card to identify it.
[Second-tier Destiny Class Change Material.]
"Haha, it really worked!" Jiang Kai laughed heartily, sat cross-legged on the floor, opened the test tube, and drank the class change material in one gulp.
Moments later, a burning sensation roamed through his body, and Jiang Kai suddenly felt parched.
This sensation was somewhat similar to when he first consumed incomplete materials, but it was several times more intense.
However, with the experience of his first class change, Jiang Kai endured the burning sensation, waiting for the class change process to complete.
Hu Yan and Ruan Yu were waiting in the courtyard for Jiang Kai to complete his class change when suddenly, the announcement screen beside them lit up.
A line of text appeared on it.
[Recently, someone has inquired at the guild registration office about recruiting new members. The registration office has issued a reminder to the guild. Would you like to establish a recruitment office?]
[The recruitment office can be managed by a dedicated person, or you can purchase other screens from this series and place them outside the guild, where the system will handle recruitment for you.]
Unfortunately, neither Hu Yan nor Ruan Yu had the authority to recruit new members, so clicking on the screen had no effect.
"It seems Kai will have to handle this... But someone actually wants to join our guild?" Hu Yan said in surprise.
"Yeah, the purpose of our guild's establishment is to participate in the guild challenge, right," Ruan Yu added. "Kai is just treating this place as a villa to live in, not really thinking about expanding the guild."
"Maybe others don't know, so they came to apply," Hu Yan thought for a moment and decided to let Jiang Kai make the decision.
With that, both of them looked toward the room where Jiang Kai was.
"It's been hours, and Kai still hasn't come out?"
Ruan Yu shook his head, "Old Hu, when configuring class change materials, the fusion speed of this second-tier material is very slow. I've configured all the second-tier materials for ten other professions, and this one takes the longest."
Ruan Yu thought for a moment, then leaned in mysteriously, "Kai is a new profession!"
"Of course, haven't you noticed after following Kai for so long?" Hu Yan rolled his eyes at Ruan Yu and said, "But Kai still hasn't told us what his profession is, so it seems he doesn't fully trust us yet."
"Or maybe it's because we haven't had the courage to ask directly..." Ruan Yu weakly added.
...
Jiang Kai didn't know how much time had passed. After enduring the burning sensation for a long time, he finally heard the system's prompt.
[Congratulations on completing the second-tier class change for the Gambler profession. Your new profession is... Deceiver.]
"Huh?" Jiang Kai almost thought he heard it wrong.
Apart from the Gambler, the second-tier professions of the top ten professions in China were all public knowledge.
Among the two strongest combat professions, the second-tier of Martial Apprentice is Hero, and the second-tier of Soldier is Cavalry, both very powerful.
In the second lineup, the second-tier of Executioner is Assassin, and the second-tier of Barefoot Doctor is Physician. These two professions become increasingly helpful in combat from the second-tier onward.
In the third lineup, the second-tier of Ascetic Monk is Wandering Monk, the second-tier of Feng Shui Master is Fate Reader, and the second-tier of Gourmet is Chef.
In the fourth lineup, the second-tier of Smuggler is Traveling Merchant.
In the fifth lineup, the second-tier of Drunkard is Wine Enthusiast, and the second-tier of Beggar is Refugee.
However, his second-tier as a Gambler turned out to be "Deceiver"... Jiang Kai was utterly baffled.
"What the hell is a Deceiver?" Jiang Kai wondered.
This time, the system seemed to hear Jiang Kai's question and surprisingly provided an explanation.
[In Callings, subsequent professions are not simply an upgrade from the initial profession but rather an extension of certain abilities.]
[However, in general professions at the "mortal profession" stage, the progression path is fixed, and only upon entering the Transcendent profession do different branches appear at the same level.]
[Destiny Materials, however, are more significantly influenced by the individual, so there may be considerable differences in professions right from the initial stage.]
Jiang Kai had heard the first statement from the system online.
Subsequent professions are not simply an upgrade from the initial profession but rather an enhancement of certain abilities.
A Hero has a stronger ability to utilize martial arts than a Martial Apprentice, a Cavalry has a stronger combat ability than a regular Soldier, a Physician has higher medical skills than a Barefoot Doctor, a Wine Enthusiast has a deeper understanding of wine than a Drunkard, a Chef knows better how to handle food than a Gourmet, and a Merchant has a more comprehensive ability to amass wealth than a Smuggler...
But the last two statements were new to Jiang Kai.
It seemed the system wasn't answering Jiang Kai's question but rather explaining the difference between Destiny Materials and regular class change materials.
"General professions only branch out after reaching Transcendent, but Destiny has branches right from the start... Hmm, that seems to be the case because only Destiny Materials result in various professions during the first class change!" Jiang Kai pondered carefully.
Even with the same Destiny Materials, the guy in Europe who successfully class-changed with Destiny Materials became a Wanderer, while Jiang Kai became a Gambler!
Given such significant fluctuations in initial professions, it's no wonder there are differences in subsequent professions!
With this thought, Jiang Kai finally understood.
However, even though the profession underwent significant changes, Destiny Materials still followed the rule of extending certain abilities.
In Jiang Kai's mind, his second-tier could have been "Cardsharp" or another profession more skilled in gambling. After all, gambling is a form of deception!
So, his class change to Deceiver was an extension of this ability!
"Deceiver..." Jiang Kai frowned, "I wonder how powerful it is. Let's take a look."
