Chapter 76: The Third New Profession
Chapter 76: The Third New Profession
Rain placed the plate on the ground, and the little Spiritite pup immediately let out a 'Woof!' and darted over, devouring the food eagerly.
Seeing the pup's enjoyment, Rain couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
"Not bad, you know quality when you see it! You can tell it's good stuff!"
"If it doesn't work, you're a dead dog! This is your last meal!"
"Damn it! It actually eats better than us!" Rain thought with a hint of resentment.
"Haha!" Mint, his sister, couldn't help but giggle at this.
Even the usually shy Anna burst out laughing, quickly covering her mouth with her small hand.
But Anna's laugh seemed to be a bit too sensitive, as she blushed and continued to giggle uncontrollably.
At that moment, Rain suddenly froze, and then a look of joy appeared on his face!
The system prompt appeared:
[You have fed the dog, and your related insights have increased!]
[You have gained a new skill - Dog Training]
[Your Dog Training skill has improved, +1 Experience Points]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the profession - Dog Trainer]
[You have reached the current limit of profession slots (3/3)!]
"The old dog trainer at the manor is misleading the youth! Playing with dogs to increase affection is nothing compared to feeding them!"
"I should have thought of this sooner!"
Rain couldn't help but feel speechless.
Such a simple concept, and he had only just realized it now.
But when Rain saw the last item in the system prompt, his excitement was doused like a bucket of cold water.
'Reaching the limit?'
So, the current professions of Blacksmith, Night Watchman, and Dog Trainer were the only three professions he could have?
However, Rain's sharp mind immediately noticed the word 'current' in the system's description.
These two words were not difficult to understand.
"In other words, under the current conditions, I can only have three profession slots."
What were these current conditions referring to? Was it the sum of the four attributes, or did a specific attribute values, or something else? Or was it related to breaking through and becoming a knight?
Most likely, fulfilling certain conditions would allow him to break this restriction.
Of course, it might also be like unlocking a profession, requiring a specific 'event' to happen.
For now, Rain couldn't figure out what this restriction-breaking condition was.
"What a pity! I didn't have time to get other side professions, like Baker, Shoemaker, Tailor, and so many others. It would have been great if there was no limit to the number of professions!" Rain felt a bit regretful.
But after thinking carefully, he also felt a bit relieved.
"If it's true that I can only have three profession slots..."
"Then the three professions I have now, without deliberately choosing them, are actually quite good."
"And when combined, they can even be considered an excellent set."
After all, aside from Blacksmithing, other life professions were unlikely to give him an awesome core skill like 'Power Surge', right?
As for Tailoring? That involved needles.
And Baking? It was more about kneading dough.
Other professions just couldn't compare to the reliability of a Blacksmith's hammer!
As for Dog Training, the closest comparison might be Falconry.
"That's right, the system only mentioned a limit to the number of professions, not any restrictions on advancement or class changes."
This realization brightened Rain's eyes.
"I can delve deeper into these three professions!"
"For example, Blacksmithing should be able to advance to Swordsmith or something similar. At least, I've heard of Swordsmiths. Similarly, if there are Swordsmiths, there should also be Armorsmiths and so on."
"As for Dog Training, I'd guess that it would eventually lead to something like Beast Taming or Beast Mastery."
"As for my current combat profession, Night Watchman..."
"Alright! The advanced profession for this one is the hardest to guess!"
"Most likely, it's also related to the path of becoming a knight, as the Breathing Technique is clearly listed under the Night Watchman's skill panel."
Having figured it out, Rain continued to read further.
The new page that appeared had a title in large characters: Dog Trainer Lv.1 (0/100)
At the bottom, the highlighted icon was the Dog Training skill he had just gained.
The icon retains its rounded square shape, featuring a lifelike image of a well-behaved dog sitting and playfully sticking out its tongue.
Below the icon, there's a small inscription: "Dog Training Lv. 1 (1/100)."
At this moment, Mother Emma had finished preparing dinner and came out from the nearby kitchen.
As she approached the trio huddled together, she curiously took a few steps closer to see what they were playing with on the ground.
Upon seeing a Spiritite Dog lying on the ground and eating, Mother Emma's expression turned to surprise, as if she wanted to say something. But she managed to hold it in with a forced smile.
However, not long after, Mother Emma couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She tugged at Rain's sleeve, and the two stepped into the adjacent room, where she asked:
"Rain, I heard from Mint that you were supposed to attend the servant training at the manor. What happened?"
"And... how did you end up bringing a dog home?"
"Although our family's situation is gradually improving, keeping a dog..."
Facing his mother's rapid-fire questions, Rain couldn't help but smile wryly. After a moment's thought, he replied:
"Mother, I'm about to officially join the Night Watch. I decided not to attend the servant training, and I've been taking some time to adjust on my own these past few days."
"Don't worry! Our lives will definitely get better and better."
"By the way, these are the rewards from the last mission with Captain Velen at Gleam Lake to clear out the fishmen."
Rain took out three gold coins from his pocket and handed them to his mother, deliberately avoiding mentioning the Spiritite Dog.
Mother Emma, who had been about to say something, was surprised to see the three gleaming imperial gold coins and exclaimed, "Is this much the reward for just one mission?"
"Yes! Mother, don't worry, our future will be brighter." Rain had actually downplayed the situation, as the value of the Radiant Stone alone was worth at least several years of her earnings.
Moreover, he didn't want to elaborate on the mission to spare her worry.
Mother Emma nodded with a complex expression, accepting the gold coins. She decided not to press further about the dog.
She realized that her own thoughts didn't necessarily apply to her son, Rain.
After all, the earnings from a single mission for Rain could already surpass her annual income.
So, if Rain had his own ideas, she should let him pursue them.
Soon after, Father Rain returned home and was also surprised to see the Spiritite Dog.
But after Mother Emma whispered something in his ear, he gave Rain a puzzled look and then nodded.
The family enjoyed a warm dinner together.
Later that night, Rain continued his usual practice of the Mammoth Breath Technique.
Starting from today, Rain could essentially practice the third form of the Mammoth Breath Technique.
Unlike the second form, 'Russian Plank', which focused on arm strength, the third form emphasized the core muscle groups of the waist and abdomen, as well as lung capacity and body coordination.
The entire sequence began with one leg bent in a squat, the other leg extended to the side, followed by raising both hands above the head with fingers crossed, then touching the knee with the head, and finally, slowly straightening the squatting leg.
Even with exceptional flexibility and strength, an ordinary person would find it impossible to stand on one leg.
It seemed that from this third form onwards, Rain's practice of the Mammoth Breath Technique had taken a step into the realm of extraordinary cultivation.
As this movement engaged the core muscle groups of the waist, abdomen, and shoulders, as well as the associated fascia.
R
But the results were remarkable.
[You have practiced the Mammoth Breath Technique, and your understanding has improved!]
[Your skill, Mammoth Breath Technique, has improved. Experience gained: +2]
[Your skill, Mammoth Breath Technique, has improved. Experience gained: +3]
[Your skill, Mammoth Breath Technique, has improved. Experience gained: +2]
