Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Least Promising Profession? Mechanic
"Next! Zheng Mu!"
Zheng Mu took a deep breath and walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He placed one hand on the Awakening Crystal.
Without giving him much time to be nervous, just a few seconds later, a dazzling stream of light burst from the surface of the crystal.
"Awakened!"
Zheng Mu widened his eyes in surprise, and then looked at the staff member nearby, just like his classmates and Cai Shengkun.
However, the latter's expression turned from brief surprise to something more perplexing.
After some hesitation, the staff member finally looked at Zheng Mu with a complex expression and nodded.
"Awakening successful!"
"Zheng Mu... Special profession, A-class Mechanic!"
Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene.
"Damn! A-class? Isn't that the potential talent for Saint Qing University and Tianbei University?"
"Ah, so ruthless! Top student, campus idol, plus an A-class professional! This is not leaving us any chance!"
"Hey, hey, hey, does anyone have Zheng Mu's contact information?"
The crowd was filled with whispers, but someone quickly seemed to notice something off.
"Wait, special profession? Shouldn't it be an Amplification profession?"
"Do you remember which common profession Mechanic amplifies?"
"Um? I don't think I've seen it under the Mage profession's amplification column in the Occupation Encyclopedia."
"I don't think it's in the Warrior's amplification professions either..."
As the crowd continued to speculate, Zheng Mu stood on the stage, his face a mix of red and green, clenching his fists, unable to speak.
An A-class profession! Although it couldn't be compared to the very top S-class professions, it could still be considered quite exceptional.
However, he had the misfortune of encountering a Mechanic!
As a top student and someone who had been reborn into this world, Zheng Mu had memorized the Occupation Encyclopedia, and he remembered the Mechanic profession all too well.
The crowd was discussing which profession the Mechanic amplifies, but no one knew.
The Mechanic was not an amplification of any common profession.
The Mechanic was a standalone profession!
One could even say it was an entire system!
However, only those who understood this so-called system could comprehend just how problematic it was.
For those who only had a superficial understanding of the Mechanic profession, they would definitely shout in excitement, thinking it was a near-S-class profession.
An A-class profession!
HP and MP bound to a mechanical creation; as long as the mechanical creation's energy and durability remained, the Mechanic would never die!
Capable of both combat and support, and able to create mechanical creations for various life professions.
It seemed like an S-class profession disguised as an A-class one.
However, Zheng Mu was already aware of the pitfalls of this profession.
First, in this world, besides the equipment and weapons dropped by monsters, all creations made by professionals were subject to strict Heavenly Dao review processes.
If a creation did not meet the standard, it would not only lack any attributes, but it also couldn't be used as a tool.
As a Mechanic, who had a significant reliance on mechanical creations, just creating a mechanical body approved by the Heavenly Dao was already choking the profession's potential.
Next, the seemingly amazing undying attribute.
As long as the Mechanic's mechanical creation wasn't destroyed, they were virtually immortal. However, there was a huge pitfall here.
In addition to the bound HP and MP, the Mechanic profession had a unique attribute that no other profession possessed.
Computing power!
Similar to the performance of a computer.
The Mechanic's mechanical creations required computing power, and learning skills also consumed a large amount of computing power.
Moreover, unlike other professions, where skill use was only limited by MP, the Mechanic's skills also had a skill cooldown time!
Think about it.
Other professions could theoretically have countless skills as long as they had enough skill books and met the requirements for their profession.
And as long as their MP was sufficient, they could use their skills without limit.
But what about the Mechanic?
Already limited by computing power, they could only learn a few skills. In the end, after using a skill once, they would have to wait for tens of minutes, or even hours or days for the cooldown time.
It was as if the path to future development had been completely blocked.
Getting the mechanical creations approved by Heavenly Dao was not easy, and the skills in the skill tree had even more restrictions...
"Don't be discouraged, Zheng Mu! Hang in there!"
With a blank expression, Zheng Mu walked to the side and registered his information under the sympathetic and pitying gazes of the leaders. After that, he returned to his team.
Class teacher Xu Chengguang patted his shoulder and said a few comforting words.
Zheng Mu could only nod silently.
Seeing Zheng Mu's reaction, the classmates around him became curious.
Some of them cautiously took out their phones and began to search the Occupation Encyclopedia.
Soon, Zheng Mu could keenly sense the various gazes around him.
Shock, pity, schadenfreude, sympathy, joy...
The ivory towers of this world had long lost their purity due to the existence of professional awakenings.
Cai Shengkun couldn't find any comforting words in the end. He could only pat Zheng Mu's shoulder silently and stay by his side.
Zheng Mu was known for his cold demeanor towards girls who approached him and his quiet personality. He had earned the nickname "Poker face."
However, Cai Shengkun, who had grown up with Zheng Mu, knew the immense strength hidden deep within his best friend.
He firmly believed that Zheng Mu would find a way to break through this predicament.
"Zhang Chenglong, awakening successful, C-class Steel Knight."
"Liu Ge, awakening successful, D-class Common Assassin."
"Jiang Kun, awakening failed..."
As each name was called out, the entire class completed the awakening process.
Led by class teacher Xu Chengguang, they returned to the classroom.
On the way back, as the awakened classmates excitedly opened their profession panels, Zheng Mu finally silently called out his own panel.
However, before the panel's hologram even appeared, a sudden voice rang out.
