Chapter 5: Temporarily Concealed, Epic Professional Coefficient, Settlement!
“Brother, can you tell me what’s going on now? My Professional…”
An hour later, the two returned home.
The house was a mere sixty square meters, with bare walls, a dilapidated sofa, and a corner piled with what looked like trash.
Qin Fang was pouring a glass of water, drinking it down in gulps, while Qin Xiaoyou, who had held back the entire way, finally couldn’t resist speaking again.
Clearly, she was too concerned about her Professional suddenly changing from a ‘Farmer’ to an Epic Assassin.
Qin Fang finished his water, let out a long, comfortable sigh, and then looked at Qin Xiaoyou, asking with a smile, “Can’t you tell?”
Qin Xiaoyou gasped, “Is it really because of your…”
“Shhh.”
Qin Fang made a shushing gesture.
The soundproofing in this house wasn’t great. He glanced around, then listened intently, making sure there were no sounds nearby.
Qin Xiaoyou quickly covered her mouth. After a long moment, she lowered her voice, “It’s too incredible… Brother, what kind of Professional are you?”
She was too curious.
Changing a Professional!
And transforming a life Professional directly into an Epic combat Professional!
Such a thing was unheard of!
Completely defying common sense!
Qin Fang thought for a moment, then chuckled softly, “Boss.”
“Boss?” Qin Xiaoyou looked puzzled.
“My Professional… is called Boss.”
“Professional… Boss?”
Qin Xiaoyou looked bewildered.
“What kind of weird Professional is that?”
Seeing Qin Xiaoyou’s confusion, Qin Fang simply smiled and briefly introduced his Professional to her.
…
“Brother, your Professional is too terrifying…”
After Qin Fang’s brief introduction, Qin Xiaoyou was completely shocked.
“How can there be such a Professional?”
She still found it hard to accept.
“Remember to keep it a secret, okay?”
Qin Fang chuckled, reminding her.
Qin Xiaoyou’s expression turned serious, and she nodded earnestly, “Mhm, I know the importance of it.”
Qin Fang nodded.
He was relieved about this point.
Even though Qin Xiaoyou was young, she was very reliable.
Mainly, both of them were orphans and had seen a lot of darkness since childhood, knowing the wickedness of human hearts.
This Professional was too terrifying; it could change other people’s Professionals.
It sounded like an existence that would be sought after?
But both of them knew very well… that once the news was truly leaked, endless trouble would surely await them.
This world was not a peaceful one.
Both internally and externally, it was full of dangers.
Especially for ‘geniuses’!
The Boss Professional had unlimited potential.
But potential, before it was realized, was just potential.
So, regarding the Boss Professional, Qin Fang didn’t plan to expose it before he grew stronger.
“But from what you said, the more employees you have, the stronger you become… This, it’ll be hard to keep it a secret, won’t it?”
Qin Xiaoyou thought of this and said with some worry.
Qin Fang was actually pondering this question as well. Hearing her, he smiled and said, “I’ll think about this carefully. I’ll find a way… Alright, we’re tired today, so let’s leave it at that. Tomorrow we’ll go into a dungeon.”
Qin Fang ended the conversation.
Hearing about going into a dungeon tomorrow, Qin Xiaoyou’s eyes lit up.
She immediately remembered the thrill of instantly killing the Irritable Rabbit.
That feeling of clearing a monster’s HP in one strike…
It was quite addictive!
“Okay, then, Brother, I’m going to sleep.”
“Mhm, good night.”
“Good night.”
The two wished each other good night and returned to their respective rooms.
…
Back in his room, Qin Fang couldn’t sleep for a while; he was still looking at his panel.
“It seems that as long as I get an employee, my various coefficients will change accordingly…”
For example, now, Qin Xiaoyou’s MP bar had disappeared, replaced by an energy bar.
The energy bar was full at one hundred, and using skills would consume a corresponding amount of energy.
Like her ultimate skill…
But Qin Fang’s MP bar still existed, though it was still only 130.
This showed that the ‘coefficient’ related to mana had not changed.
Except for attributes related to mana and spirit, all of Qin Fang’s current attributes had undergone huge changes.
Comparing the two, he understood where the difference lay.
It was the difference in ‘Professional coefficient’.
After comparing and calculating, he could now basically conclude… that for an Epic Professional, the lowest coefficient for a sub-attribute reached 4… This was almost equivalent to the coefficient of a main attribute for an ordinary Professional.
And the amplification coefficient for the main attribute was as high as 20!
This could be easily calculated.
For example, Qin Xiaoyou’s attack power was currently 695.
Her Agility was as high as 30 points.
A Professional coefficient of 20 meant Agility × 20.
30 × 20 was exactly six hundred.
Strength and Constitution would generally also bring some attack power increase.
Both of hers were 10. Calculated with a coefficient of 4, that’s 10 × 4…
Adding the three together, it was exactly 680.
Plus the base 15 points of attack power from her level…
Exactly 695.
Of course, a single piece of evidence does not prove a case.
But adding Qin Fang’s own situation, it was enough to confirm this point.
His basic attributes could also be perfectly applied to this formula, fitting perfectly without any discrepancies.
This was because he perfectly shared Qin Xiaoyou’s Professional.
“This is just one employee… If I had more employees, and other coefficients were also increased… then…”
Thinking of this, Qin Fang secretly clicked his tongue.
He couldn’t even imagine how strong he would be in the future…
…
Unconsciously, it was twelve o’clock.
Exactly at twelve, a ‘ding-dong’ notification sound suddenly rang out. Qin Fang, who was looking at his panel, was startled for a moment.
Then he saw a line of text.
【Starting yesterday’s income settlement now】
【You recruited one new employee today. The employee’s Professional and skills have been instantly shared with you. No separate settlement will be made this time.】
【Your employee ‘Qin Xiaoyou’ killed 1 dungeon monster yesterday, gaining 102 experience points.】
【Total income yesterday: 102 experience points】
【Enterprise Reputation: 0】
【Income Rating: F】
【Comment: Please continue to work hard, motivate employees, and create more value for the enterprise (Boss)!】
…
Seeing this settlement screen, Qin Fang then remembered the daily settlement mentioned in the skill description.
Just as he was thinking, another short line of notification appeared on the panel.
【Experience points + 102】
Although it was just a short line, Qin Fang’s eyes lit up.
One must know, it was not easy for Professionals to level up.
From level 0 to 1, it required a full 10,000 experience points.
Generally speaking, a single ordinary dungeon monster would give different experience based on its level. But at most, it would only be around a hundred points of experience.
Therefore, to reach level 10 and meet the Professional advancement standard, it usually took at least one or two months.
But this was obviously for ordinary people.
And Qin Fang…
Could share his employees’ income!
Imagine, if he now had a hundred employees…
Even Qin Fang’s eyes flickered intensely.
…He finally understood why this Professional was called ‘Boss’.
Lying around doing nothing, his employees did everything for him!
…It seems he had to find a way to get more workhorses…
However, Enterprise Reputation was a bit difficult to obtain.
Also, how could he hide himself while recruiting more employees?
Qin Fang smacked his lips.
He tossed and turned in bed, falling into a happy dilemma…
