While riding the cable car, Han Qiwu took the opportunity to finish his scrambled eggs with chives.

[You consumed Scrambled Eggs with Chives (Silver Star Quality ☆), Combat Level +4]

[Combat Level 5 Bonus: You can choose one specialization for profession transition and solidification from the following options]

[Profession: Beginner Warrior]

[Specialization - Warrior’s Instinct: Maximum HP increased by Combat Level × 5]

[Profession Skill: Brutal Strike (All attack special effects and trigger chances doubled for 20 seconds, critical hit rate increased by 15%, cooldown: 3 minutes)]

[Profession: Beginner Mage]

[Specialization - Spell Instant Cast: The first magic spell after entering combat can be cast instantly]

[Profession Skill: Beginner Fireball Technique (Charge for 2 seconds to launch an explosive fireball with a 2×2 blast radius; maximum attack range: 10 meters. Fireball only damages creatures in mines, and its explosion radius doubles at maximum range! Power depends on weapon attack strength, cooldown: 30 seconds)]

[More professions available after upgrading]

Profession Specialization Notes:

[When enhancing Combat Level via food, you can still choose a specialization, but the effect duration aligns with the dish’s duration and is limited to once per week]

[Specializations chosen during food-induced Combat Level increases are not solidified—you can choose again upon reaching the same level]

[Under normal circumstances, once solidified, specializations cannot be reselected]

Wait, I can actually become a Mage? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Excited, Han Qiwu didn’t rush to decide but carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the two professions.

First, the Warrior specialization could significantly boost survival capabilities. Keep in mind, Han Qiwu currently had a measly 50 HP, and choosing Warrior would instantly raise his max HP to 80!

As for the Warrior skill, it seemed unimpressive at first glance. But if paired with various special-effect items, it could become a Magic Warrior with strong endurance.

Look at me, all fired up!

Then there’s the Mage. Its specialization was practically a mowing tool; as long as one fireball could take out one mine creature, every cast would essentially be instant. Perfect for completing bounty missions! Plus, the skill’s long attack range made it great for kite strategies and pursuits.

After thorough analysis, Han Qiwu decided to indulge in some Mage fun first.

Even if it’s just fireball, it’s still magic, right?!

Before choosing, Han Qiwu brought out a profession compatibility potion (Iridium Quality) obtained from Zack.

Finally reaching the required level, Han Qiwu could now see the potion’s effect.

[Profession Compatibility Potion: Use to select two professions simultaneously without any side effects (Exclusive to Iridium Quality)]

"This awesome?!" Han Qiwu froze for a moment. No wonder Zack had been so reluctant to part with it.

If used on the Warrior path, you’d get one magic hand, one critical hit hand!

One bottle isn’t nearly enough for this amazing item!

Time to probe Zack for more later.

Putting away the potion, Han Qiwu stepped out of the cable car, chose the Mage path, and headed toward the staircase leading to the 36th mine layer.

[You chose the profession: Beginner Mage]

[You acquired specialization - Spell Instant Cast]

[You learned profession skill: Beginner Fireball Technique]

Upon hearing the system notification, a fireball-shaped button appeared in Han Qiwu’s vision bar. The operation was straightforward enough.

[You arrived at Mine Layer 36]

Similar to previous layers, Mine Layer 36 was shrouded in pitch darkness.

But that wasn’t a problem; Han Qiwu already possessed a Silver Star Quality torch!

The upgraded torch not only extended the illumination range but also significantly boosted brightness compared to before.

Brighter and farther.

Not wanting to waste time, Han Qiwu pulled out his pickaxe and began mining.

[Please upgrade your pickaxe before mining large ore veins]

Seeing the large ore vein in front of him, Han Qiwu quietly bypassed it, swinging his pickaxe at other rocks.

No money!

After mining for a minute or two, perhaps the noisy clanking was too arrogant.

The sound of rustling wings came from behind Han Qiwu.

Turning around, he saw a familiar mine moth flying toward him, about ten meters away.

"Let’s use you as a sacrifice for my first Fireball Technique!"

Facing the mine moth, Han Qiwu focused his mind and selected the fireball button.

After selecting it, a charge bar and directional indicator appeared before him.

Once he aligned the direction, a fireball materialized in Han Qiwu’s hand and flew toward the mine moth.

Spell Instant Cast specialization triggered!

The fireball’s flight speed was not too fast nor too slow, approximately matching those flying creatures’ speed. As it traveled, the fireball grew larger with the wind, becoming noticeably bigger after reaching ten meters.

"Boom!"

The fireball collided with the mine moth and instantly exploded, with its booming echoes reverberating through the cave.

-626.

A massive damage number popped up above the mine moth’s head.

"Don’t kill it all at once! That’d waste several sets of bait," Han Qiwu said worriedly. He hadn’t expected the fireball’s attack to be so fierce.

Thankfully, the mine moth on Layer 36 had robust enough HP to withstand the fireball. Instead of dying, it clung to the rock wall and began laying eggs.

Seeing this, Han Qiwu was delighted. He switched to his pickaxe and mined copper ore while waiting for the fireball cooldown.

After about twenty seconds, the Fireball Technique cooled down, and the mine moth’s larva hatched from the eggs.

"Buy one, get five free? That’s too generous." Han Qiwu smiled slightly, charging for two seconds before hurling another fireball.

"Boom!"

After another ten seconds, Han Qiwu walked over to collect his loot.

[Mine Moth Meat]×1

[Mine Moth Meat (Larva)]×5

Nice.

This Fireball Technique was way better than grape grenades!

Onward!

Two and a half hours later.

[You arrived at Mine Layer 39]

Entering Layer 39, Han Qiwu frowned. It was absurdly dark here. Time to take out another torch.

With the combined illumination of two torches, Han Qiwu finally got a clear view of Layer 39. Unlike the other layers, he noticed that Layer 39 was unusually low-ceilinged, with numerous spider leg scratches across the rock walls.

"Silk Cave?"

Han Qiwu cautiously held a grape grenade in one hand while mining copper ore with the other.

As the mine layers advanced, the copper ore veins became increasingly plentiful, and crystal mineral deposits also appeared more frequently.

[Purple Crystal]×1

[Earth Crystal]×1

After mining three pieces, Han Qiwu suddenly heard a dense and continuous hissing sound coming from deep within the cave.

Unlike before, Han Qiwu was certain that more than one spider was approaching this time.

"Time to shine, self-operated bait maker!"
