Although grinding monsters levels up quickly, it is not the only way to gain experience. Quests also provide players with abundant experience, especially for life-skill players who primarily rely on quests to level up.
However, since they lack offensive and self-preservation abilities, these life-skill players in the previous life were no different from ordinary people at the beginning of the monster invasion. Eventually, they had to find ways to unlock secondary professions to survive.
“Secondary professions, huh?” Thinking of this, Luca fell into contemplation.
Players in the Eternal Game are not limited to a single profession. Many players in the later stages possess dual, triple, or even more professions, and these secondary professions often enhance their overall strength to varying degrees.
In his previous life, Luca also switched to several professions, and some of them had relatively high levels. Although he has to start over in this life, all the knowledge and experience are still ingrained in his mind.
When he has time, he needs to consider what kind of secondary professions to choose for himself…
With these thoughts, Luca followed the quest marker to his destination.
It was a clinic located in a remote alley.
“Aargh!”
As soon as Luca reached the entrance, he heard the heart-wrenching wails of patients from inside.
The clinic wasn’t large, and it was filled with a variety of materials, such as Goblin ears, Slime mucus, Giant Sea Octopus tentacles, and Bellflower roots, among other strange items.
Upon entering the clinic, Luca saw an elderly man in a black robe, with a gaunt figure, performing a limb reattachment surgery on a burly man.
This elderly man was likely the quest giver, Franklin.
However, Luca did not interrupt at this moment; he just watched silently.
From the man’s wound, it was evident that his arm had been bitten off by some monster.
But what caught Luca’s attention the most was the old man’s treatment method.
How should he put it? It was very unique.
Franklin held a purple, unknown plant root in his hand and placed it on the man’s severed arm.
Then, gray mist emerged from his eyes, seemingly activating some skill, and the purple roots instantly came to life, extending tendrils that burrowed into the man’s flesh and the severed arm, stitching them together.
The sight of the purple tendrils wriggling under the man’s skin was enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle.
The burly man, who stood two meters tall, started crying like a child at this sight.
Yet, the old man laughed maniacally.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, your arm will be fine soon…” he comforted the man, but with his skeletal appearance, he looked anything but reassuring. In fact, he seemed a bit excited.
Seeing this, Luca couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Franklin did not look like a good person at all… fгeewebnovёl.com
However, Luca had already guessed his profession.
Witch Doctor!
A profession that strikes fear into the hearts of many, yet is exceptionally powerful.
This profession is unique because a Witch Doctor can not only concoct potions and heal ailments but also use witchcraft in combat and occasionally provide support.
Among all the professions Luca knows, Witch Doctor is quite an odd one.
As the burly man howled in agony, time slowly passed.
His arm was gradually being reattached bit by bit.
By the time his arm was fully reattached, the man was utterly exhausted, looking even worse than when he first arrived.
Seeing this, Luca nodded slightly.
Although the Witch Doctor’s treatment methods were quite unsettling, there was no denying that their healing abilities were among the top in all professions.
“Thank you, doctor…”
The man, with a pale face, expressed his gratitude, though his eyes still held deep-seated fear. It seemed Franklin’s treatment had left quite a psychological scar.
After paying a hefty medical fee, the man wobbled and hurried out of the clinic.
“Respected Witch Doctor, I am here to submit the Calming Grass quest.” Luca took out the Calming Grass and addressed Franklin.
Franklin was cleaning his workbench and, without looking up, said, “Place it in the third drawer of the cabinet on the right. Your quest reward is also in there.”
Luca did as instructed, and a game prompt appeared before him.
[Ding! You have completed the novice quest “Gather Calming Grass” and received the reward “Refreshing Potion (Iron)”]
[Congratulations! You have become a Formal Mage!]
[You have acquired new skills “Fireball (Basic)” and “Flash (Basic)”!]
As soon as the quest was completed, Luca’s experience points surged forward.
Then, a golden glow of leveling up enveloped him.
[Ding! Your level has increased to lv6, and you have gained 10 free attribute points!]
Luca allocated all the attribute points to his spirit stat and drank the Refreshing Potion, boosting his spirit attribute to 80 points and his attack power to 230 points.
After completing the quest, Luca did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in Franklin’s clinic.
He intended to see if he could obtain the Witch Doctor profession from Franklin.
To quickly enhance the power of a Demonic Rune Mage, a large amount of gold coins is needed to purchase some transcendent materials for drawing magic runes.
The Witch Doctor, being one of the few professions whose skills caught Luca’s interest, had various supportive abilities and money-making potential that aligned perfectly with his needs.
Since he had encountered a Witch Doctor, he wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip by.
Franklin was engrossed at his workbench, tinkering with a rabbit-sized eagle mouse, and hadn’t noticed Luca still lingering in the clinic.
“Flesh Manipulation!”
Franklin muttered, dark gray witch power swirling in his hand before transforming into a rune that merged into the eagle mouse.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak~”
Sensing danger, the eagle mouse let out a series of squeaks.
It scurried around the cage restlessly, clearly unsettled.
Seeing this, Franklin quickly took out the prepared Calming Grass potion and fed it to the eagle mouse.
However, just like before, the eagle mouse did not calm down after drinking the potion. Instead, it became even more agitated, gnawing on the iron cage bars with a grinding noise.
It wasn’t long before the eagle mouse became lethargic, clearly on the verge of death.
“This shouldn’t be happening. Why isn’t the Flesh Manipulation working?” Franklin muttered to himself, his withered face full of confusion.
Flesh Manipulation is one of the high-level skills of a Witch Doctor, allowing the user to control the body and flesh of the target, useful in both combat and healing.
The problem was that despite his numerous attempts on the eagle mouse, he hadn’t succeeded even once. This left Franklin baffled, unable to understand where he went wrong.
Could it be that he hadn’t used enough Calming Grass?
Franklin frowned, pondering this as he prepared to fetch more materials for another attempt.
As he turned, he saw Luca standing behind him, staring intently at the eagle mouse in the cage.
Franklin was startled.
“I already gave you your quest reward! What are you still doing here?” Franklin glared at Luca with his small gray eyes, annoyed by the novice mage’s lack of manners.
Didn’t he know that one should stay far away when someone else is conducting research?
“Your Calming Grass potion had a problem,” Luca pointed out.
Although he wasn’t familiar with the Witch Doctor profession, in his previous life he had a secondary profession as a Superclass healer.
The principle of knowledge being interconnected meant that even without understanding the Witch Doctor profession, his experience allowed him to identify the issue.
Franklin was momentarily stunned, then almost laughed out of anger.
“You ignorant fool, get out of here!” he snarled.
“The great Witch Doctor Franklin doesn’t need advice from a novice mage like you. Don’t interfere with my spell research, or I’ll drown you in the septic tank!”
Franklin threatened, pointing to a distant toilet.
It seemed to imply that if Luca didn’t leave, that would be his fate.
Watching Franklin turn to fetch more materials, Luca shrugged.
He had already pointed out the problem.
The issue was that Franklin seemed too incompetent to realize it.
Thinking this, Luca looked at the eagle mouse.
After a moment of hesitation, he stepped forward.
Luca felt it was necessary to try a different approach.
So, when Franklin returned, he was greeted by a sight that made his blood boil.
