Chapter 2: The Professional 'Boss', Body Energization!
"Let's go."
Qin Fang said in a low voice, then quickly rushed to the side and swiftly started the motorcycle he had prepared earlier.
The motorcycle was dilapidated, its shell already peeled off.
...They had prepared for a long time for today's awakening.
They knew they would face danger during the awakening and had made several sets of preparations.
If someone awakened a combat Professional, everything would be fine; even a white combat Professional was far beyond what an ordinary person could contend with.
Outside the Base City, Professionals often cleared nearby monsters. If something was attracted, it wouldn't be too strong and should be manageable.
But if both failed to awaken, or neither had a combat Professional... then they could only flee for their lives.
The motorcycle was prepared for this.
As long as they escaped into the Base City's range, where Professionals were on duty year-round, they would intervene if monsters invaded.
Seeing Qin Fang's swift action, Qin Xiaoyou pursed her lips, looking unwilling, her small face pale, but she still immediately ran over, jumped onto the back seat, and hugged Qin Fang's waist tightly.
Qin Fang twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle let out a 'thump-thump-thump' of chaotic roaring, rapidly heading towards the Base City.
"Awakened as a 【Farmer】..."
Qin Xiaoyou's voice rang in Qin Fang's ear.
【Farmer】...
Qin Fang's hand trembled.
It really was... a mainstream life Professional.
Qin Fang let out a light breath and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's good that you awakened... The ecological park has a large demand for Farmers, so it's a way out..."
Qin Xiaoyou didn't speak again, but her constantly trembling hands revealed her unwillingness.
This girl had been strong-willed since childhood. When she was nine, she encountered dungeon monsters with her parents, who died protecting her.
If a Professional hadn't happened to pass by and save her, she would have died that year at nine.
She had no other relatives in the Base City, so she was sent to an orphanage.
Her lifelong dream was to awaken as a powerful Professional and then kill all those monsters.
For this, she had undergone strenuous training since childhood, preparing for awakening, hoping to become a powerful combat Professional.
But now...
Her dream was shattered.
Qin Fang didn't know how to comfort her.
Or rather...
Perhaps he himself was more desperate now?
At least she had become a Professional; even without combat ability, she still had a way out.
Although it would be difficult, there was still a chance for survival.
But he, as a non-Professional, would be relegated to the lowest rung of this world...
"Heaven, did you throw me here just to play with me?"
Qin Fang sighed helplessly.
In his previous life, he had endured thirteen periods of 'blessed overtime' and only came to this world after dying from overwork.
He struggled for two years, and the result was...
"I still wanted to see what the legendary 'Professional Panel' looked like..."
He got a little distracted.
The 'Professional Panel' could only be seen by the Professional themselves.
And only Professionals had it.
He hadn't awakened a Professional, so naturally, he wouldn't have a 'Professional Panel'...
Before the thought completely finished.
Suddenly, with a 'whoosh', his vision blurred, and a virtual screen appeared magnificently before Qin Fang's eyes.
'Screech!!'
A sharp braking sound rang out, Qin Xiaoyou gasped, and Qin Fang suddenly snapped back to attention, quickly releasing the brake. The motorcycle swerved dangerously, making Qin Fang's forehead break out in a sweat as he quickly maneuvered it, stabilizing the motorcycle before it completely lost control.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Qin Xiaoyou was still shaken.
Qin Fang didn't answer.
His eyes were fixed on what was in front of him.
A transparent screen was now suddenly appearing before his eyes!
Professional Panel?
But he... didn't he fail to awaken?
A hint of doubt flashed through Qin Fang's mind.
But soon, this doubt was thrown to the back of his mind.
Never mind!
As long as he awakened, it was good.
Even a life Professional would be fine... at least it was a way out.
His eyes lit up, and he looked at his panel while riding.
...And with that look.
Even Qin Fang's eyes widened.

【Investigate Target: Can detect the other party's basic attributes, skills, and past history.】
(PS: For a large enterprise hiring, how can background checks be omitted?)
【Enterprise Reputation: 100 points (initial value)】
【Note: Whenever you or your employees perform astonishing feats, or clear dungeons/secret realms, you will gain Enterprise Reputation.】
(PS: How can a large enterprise remain unknown?)
...
Even Qin Fang was stunned.
What is this?!
Professional... Boss?
...I, a mere cog, how can I awaken such a high-class Professional?
And when he saw the first Professional skill of this Professional, his scalp tingled even more.
A Contract?
Consumes 'Enterprise Reputation' to obtain 'A Contract'. And the ability of this 'contract'... is to grant employees a brand new Professional?
And this Professional perfectly matches the employee's own potential?
And all of the other party's skills and gains, including attribute points and experience points, will be perfectly shared with him?
...What kind of divine Professional is this?
The sudden ups and downs made Qin Fang momentarily distracted.
This was a wilderness, and the road was already uneven, and finally...
They crashed.
"Ah! Brother?"
The car suddenly lost balance, and without any warning, both of them tumbled out with the vehicle.
Qin Xiaoyou gasped, and Qin Fang also instantly snapped back to attention.
But when he regained consciousness, he was already in the air.
His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively braced himself with both hands on the ground.
As soon as he moved, he immediately noticed the difference in his body...
It was much lighter!
That's right... attribute points.
He suddenly remembered something.
Then, Qin Fang instinctively braced his hands on the ground, did a front flip, and landed steadily.
He looked at his palms... aside from some dirt, not even a scratch.
This is...
Just as he was thinking.
"Brother..."
Qin Xiaoyou's voice rang out, and Qin Fang finally snapped back, looking up and instinctively opening his mouth: "Xiaoyou, no..."
Before he could finish the word 'problem', Qin Fang froze. He looked at the top of Qin Xiaoyou's head... a green health bar, prominently displayed!
Qin Xiaoyou, who had fallen to the ground, sat there, looking a bit dazed, staring blankly at her hands.
"Brother, it doesn't hurt..."
She looked up at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang took a deep breath.
He immediately understood what had happened... This was body energization.
Also called 'body datafication'!
World invasion, monster invasion, how did Professionals contend with those powerful monsters?
They relied on body energization!
The power of 'Professionals' turned humans into beings similar to energy bodies.
From then on, although humans still looked no different from before.
In reality, they were completely different.
The human body no longer had any fatal points; except in extremely rare and special circumstances, the body would almost never be maimed.
For example, using a knife to cut a Professional's head would only cause damage, but would not directly cut off the Professional's head... at most, there would be 'critical damage' or double damage.
Unless the health bar was emptied and the body became a corpse, then the body could be cut off.
This characteristic was very similar to game characters in online games, hence it was also called 'datafication'.
The energized body had no significant change in touch, etc., but extreme pain was greatly weakened, which ensured that in combat, there would be no significant drop in combat power due to pain or injury.
...No pain, no fatal injuries, only death when health is zero.
One can imagine how terrifying such a change in the physical body in reality would be, right?
Even an ordinary person with such changes would become exceptionally terrifying.
Not to mention, Professionals also mastered other powerful skills.
This is what a Professional is!
...Although Qin Xiaoyou was only a life Professional, she had awakened a Professional, and her body also underwent 'energization'. Her 'health bar' above her head had dropped slightly due to this fall...
3 points of health!
Other than that, she only got some dirt from the fall... not even a scratch.
Qin Fang, who had instinctively braced his hands on the ground under extreme inertia, also felt no pain; only his palms had some dirt, which was also due to this magical change.
Just as he was thinking, a low growl suddenly came from afar.
This sound made both of them change their expressions simultaneously, turning their heads to look.
But they only saw a huge creature rapidly approaching from within the dense forest.
Under the silver moonlight, Qin Xiaoyou saw clearly.
Her pretty face instantly turned pale.
"Brother, it's an Irritable Rabbit!"
Looking at the 'rabbit-shaped creature' over three meters tall, covered in bulging muscles, with a mouth full of jagged teeth, blood-red eyes, and running upright.
It was actually an Irritable Rabbit?!
Qin Fang's expression tightened. He didn't expect such bad luck.
If it were other dungeon monsters, after awakening a combat Professional and energizing their body, they would usually have a chance to fight.
But an Irritable Rabbit... is a Level 9 monster!
Most newly awakened Professionals would definitely not be its match.
Although he now had basic attributes and his body was energized.
Firstly, he had no weapons.
Secondly... this 【Boss】 Professional didn't seem to have direct combat skills.
And from what it looked like currently.
His HP, MP, attack, defense, and other basic attributes, compared to the average of 20 for his four-dimensional stats (Strength, Agility, Constitution, Spirit)... seemed a bit too low!
...Clearly, while the 'Boss' Professional was powerful, it was obviously not a pure combat Professional.
Its four-dimensional coefficients were all very low.
In this situation, facing this 'Irritable Rabbit'...
He probably wouldn't fare well!
What to do?!
Qin Fang's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of something, looking at Qin Xiaoyou.
Qin Xiaoyou was startled by his gaze, nervous and puzzled.
"Brother?"
Qin Fang ignored her and had a thought.
"Investigate Target!"
Whoosh!
Immediately, a light screen appeared before Qin Fang's eyes.
------
(The data in this book is not overly meticulously researched, but there is an algorithm; the author doesn't just write numbers on a whim.
Taking HP as an example.
HP = Base HP (level) + Constitution × 10. '10' is coefficient 1.
Attack = Base Attack (level) + (Strength, Agility, Constitution) one or all of them (depending on Professional) × Professional coefficient.
Defense, Magic Resist = Base Defense + Constitution × Professional coefficient.
And so on.
But with a lot of data, errors and omissions can sometimes occur, so please don't delve too deeply; just know the general idea.
The above)
