Chapter 1653: Chapter 1102: The Era of Universal Job Change (Part 2)
With a soft sigh, “Sister Zhao and I currently think that we can assist the devout believers in the sect with awakening their superpowers, which are still quite attractive among survivors.”
Wu Heng thought for a moment but couldn’t come up with a better idea, “Let’s refine this direction for now.”
“Okay!” Li Yahong agreed.
Wu Heng continued to ask, “Are there still ghosts around the various places?”
“Yes, reports have been coming in consistently. Those haunted areas have currently been designated as quarantine zones, and there’s no need to face those places head-on with the current number of survivors.”
“Organize the detailed locations and information and send it to me.”
“I’ll send it shortly.”
Shortly after the call ended, the phone screen lit up, and Li Yahong had sent over the compiled coordinates of ghost activities from various countries.
Wu Heng glanced at it and put the phone away for now.
…
Beside him, Lilith leaned lazily on the soft couch, her long legs crossed, and asked lazily, “What’s going on?”
Wu Heng naturally placed his hand on her leg, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the fabric’s texture, and replied, “It’s about the believers. I want to expand the scale as soon as possible, so we can sooner break through the current stage and go back to pick up Xiao Xiao and the others.”
Lilith raised her eyebrows slightly, “Encountered any difficulties? Let’s hear it.”
Wu Heng briefly recounted the previous discussion.
After listening, Lilith said plainly, “What’s so difficult about this? You make the matter of professional scrolls public, and promise that determined believers have the qualifications to practice. Isn’t that more reliable than those so-called superpowers?”
Her beautiful eyes glimmered, and her legs lightly clamped his restless hand, and she continued, “Judging from the responses on the forum, the people in your world have a strong desire for ‘cultivation’ and ‘strength,’ so this method will definitely work.”
Wu Heng’s eyes lit up—indeed, this was a breakthrough point.
They hadn’t promoted the professional scrolls on a large scale before because modern weapons were considered more practical in the apocalypse.
Another reason was that his own level was low at the time, and he feared the secret of the professional scrolls leaking out would affect him.
But the situation had stabilized for the most part now.
The video of the Wood Elf Sisters beheading the Zombie King a few days ago had triggered a significant buzz, so using the professional system as bait should yield good results now.
“Well, it’s good, but we don’t have any professional scrolls left now!” Wu Heng said.
“You can’t let all the believers learn anyway! How could you possibly take care of that many people?” Lilith pulled out a few scrolls of various professions from her Space Ring, “I have some here, you can use them for a few people first, and for the rest, run selections or tests of faith, or similar filters. By the time we get back, we’ll have more professional scrolls.”
“You’re still the best!” Wu Heng withdrew his hand, picked up the scrolls, and stored them in his ring.
As night fell.
Everyone gradually returned to their rooms.
Wu Heng didn’t go back to rest; he used the Teleportation Technique to head to the training ground, to continue cultivating the fourth stage of the Creation Scripture.
…
The next day, at South Korea Airport.
The plane landed smoothly on the runway, and the gangway slowly aligned.
Wu Heng disembarked first, followed closely by the Wood Elf Sisters on either side, both clad in Elf Leather Armor, with their green eyes scanning the surroundings as if covered in frost.
A considerable crowd had already gathered at the airport exit. Seeing this trio from afar, many people started taking photos.
Qi Hancai quickly approached with a few subordinates and spoke efficiently, “The press conference site is ready. Do you want to rest first, or head there directly?”
“Let’s start directly,” Wu Heng said calmly.
“Alright, this way please,” Qi Hancai sidestepped to guide, quietly adding, “I’ve arranged for a makeup artist, and you’ll need to change into attire more suitable for the occasion.”
“Makeup too?” Wu Heng was a bit surprised.
“It’s a live broadcast for everyone, after all; appearance is very important. Have you ever seen an important figure appear on camera without tidying up?” Qi Hancai smiled, though her tone showed no room for negotiation.
Wu Heng said no more and nodded in agreement.
Shortly after, they stepped into a bright dressing room, had a quick makeover, and changed into a deep-colored ceremonial robe embroidered with silver patterns before entering the studio and taking his seat in front of the camera.
The prompter screen lit up, the red light blinked, and the recording began.
Wu Heng looked up at the lens, showing a gentle smile, and began to speak slowly,
“Dear believers, dear compatriots.”
“Today I stand here, seeing the once-bustling steel jungle reduced to ruins, and the fertile ground that once nurtured life covered in scorched marks… with mutated zombies roaming the wild, and perhaps even more unknown dangers in the future.”
“…”
“Survival requires a force that can cleave through dire straits! To live on, one needs a physique capable of resisting disasters.”
“Today, in the name of the Sect Hierarch of the Spirit Awakening Sect, I announce to the world that we have mastered an ancient technology, capable of creating professional scrolls that allow ordinary people to gain extraordinary powers.”
“It will grant you a stronger physique, a fist that can break through Beast Armor, a blade that can cut through thorns. It can also make you swift as the wind, possessing speed beyond ordinary people.”
“Even if you once had nothing, the scroll will open a personal path for you, allowing you to find your own position in the End of the World and have the confidence to ‘survive.'”
Any sincere believers who join our Spirit Awakening Sect will have the opportunity to receive this gift.”
…
At this moment, the forum’s live stream interface had already been flooded with a barrage of comments!
“Damn! The era of universal job change has really come? Webnovels have become reality?”
“Those elf sisters are definitely scroll users! It’s confirmed!”
“Do believers just need to join? Is it too late for me to convert now?”
“Who’s stronger compared to the Superpowered Man?”
“Nonsense! Have you ever seen a Superpowered Man who can one-on-one a Zombie King in melee combat?”
“I want to change careers! I want to contract an Enchanting Demon, ahhhh!”
The number of live viewers increased at an astounding rate, with comments blocking the screen, buzzing with excitement.
…
In the studio, Wu Heng’s voice remained steady, “These scrolls are for everyone, regardless of age or gender, no matter their past or background. You can choose a profession related to previous skills, or follow a path that your heart yearns for.”
“Some might ask, is this power truly reliable? I solemnly assure you that all scrolls have undergone repeated verification, ensuring no dangers or side effects. Spirit Awakening Sect and Yama Hall both stand to guarantee this, so rest assured.”
He took a deep breath, his gaze intense.
“Compatriots, the End of the World has never pitied the weak, but Spirit Awakening will protect all who are willing to rise up and fight.”
“The church will dispatch instructors to provide systematic guidance to believers based on different professions and advancement stages.”
With that, he gestured to the side.
The Wood Elf Sisters, dressed in Spirit Awakening Sect’s silver-patterned robes, entered the frame in response, elegantly performing a swift and beautiful florid sword dance, the sword light shifting and changing, their posture as graceful as a picture.
“Those with outstanding talent may even receive personal guidance from our Spirit Awakening Sect’s ‘Goddess of War.’
“Starting tomorrow, Spirit Awakening Sect will officially count believers and arrange for those who meet the criteria to change careers.”
“As long as there is still one person struggling in hardship, Spirit Awakening Sect will not stop making scrolls. As long as there is a single inch of land worth defending, we will not give up on our belief in saving the world.”
“At this moment, I invite more people to join Spirit Awakening Sect, to cast aside doubts about the future and grasp power firmly.”
“The light of Spirit Awakening shall never go out.”
As he finished speaking, he looked at the cameraman, who nodded to indicate the end of the recording.
…
Qi Hancai came over, holding a tablet, “The effect is very good. The video’s popularity seems to bring us back to the days before the disaster.”
Wu Heng took it and looked at it briefly, with the sisters behind him also craning their necks to see.
“Well, as long as the effect is good, we’ll first select a batch of people for job conversion and training,” Wu Heng said directly.
“Okay!” Qi Hancai nodded, then asked, “Shall I arrange accommodations for you next?”
“I have an itinerary arranged, need to go and clear some ghosts, maybe next time,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
Qi Hancai sighed and nodded as well.
Thump, thump, thump~!
At this time, the door was knocked, and Qi Hancai’s secretary walked in briskly, saluting Wu Heng first, then speaking to Qi Hancai, “Vice Leader, representatives from various bases have come to see you.”
“What is it about?” Qi Hancai vaguely sensed the reason but still inquired.
The secretary said, “It should be about the broadcast on the professional scrolls just now. All bases are asking about it, seemingly wanting the first batch of usage rights.”
“Well, they know how to seize opportunities.” Qi Hancai left, accompanied by her secretary.
Wu Heng used the Teleportation Technique, appearing with the Wood Elf Sisters inside a plane cabin.
Taking off directly, heading to the nearest location where ghosts were recorded.
