Limitless Cultivation: I Can Master Every Profession!-Chapter 57: Unexpected Help

Chapter 57: Unexpected Help

.

Zhu Rong’s words caused no small amount of confusion in the elf girl’s mind.

Hearing them, she didn’t know what to say.

His assitant manager?

As in second in command?

She could at least grasp that part, but that only left her even more confused.

After all, she wasn’t some master of any secondary profession, nor was she anyone important enough to be placed in such a position.

Then why did this person want to assign her this position?

She decided to ask him immediately, and in response, he told her it was because he wouldn’t be able to manage everything on his own all the time and needed someone reliable for the job.

And she was his best choice, being his direct disciple.

Needless to say, this only made the elf girl even more puzzled, making her wonder why this person seemed to trust her so much.

"I already told you, I know how reliable and capable you are, because I came back from the future.

If you only knew how you once ruled over my entire business empire for a while, you’d be shocked,"

he said with a proud look on his face.

Ye Ning: "..."

’There he goes with that story again...’

Zhu Rong had already told her before that he came from the future and that she had been his disciple back then.

Needless to say, she didn’t believe a word of it and even wondered for a moment if her new master was a bit insane.

in the end, she chose to ignore it.

Whether it was true or not, one thing was clear, right now, she could only rely on him if she wanted to survive.

She was in a place completely unfamiliar to her, and she wouldn’t know survive on her own.

She was scared that if she went around on her own, she’d end up being caught again and sold back into the slave market.

So, without worrying too much about these things, she simply followed him.

Zhu Rong could clearly see from her expressionless face that she didn’t believe him.

’Tch, you can’t even tell the truth these days,’ he thought, shaking his head.

It didn’t take long for his turn to come, and as soon as it did, the old man at the counter saw him and immediately recognized him.

The boy had left a certain impression on him the last time he came, and the instructor from back then had even mentioned that the kid would most likely return very soon for his next test. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

So, in a way, he had been expecting him.

"Oh, Master Chen did that?" Zhu Rong asked, a little surprised,

not expecting to hear that the examiner from last time had already prepared everything for his next test.

Apparently, the impression he left on him had been much greater than he thought,

so much so that he had already arranged the next test in advance.

This exam, unlike the previous one, wasn’t theoretical, but practical.

More specifically, this was where one would showcase their actual skills.

An Adept Engraver was someone who had already stepped into the real work,

no longer limited to theory, but starting to create their own works.

To be able to sell his stuff, one had to be at least at the Adept rank in any profession, and the same went for registering one’s business.

Normally, one would have to apply for the exam and wait to be placed into the next available group, since this one was much more restricted than the first.

But apparently, he wouldn’t have to go through any of that.

"If you’re ready, you can join the current round of examinees.

If not, I can slot you into the next one, but you’ll have to wait a few days," the old man at the reception told him.

Zhu Rong didn’t hesitate for a second before taking the opportunity to do it now.

He was grateful to Examiner Chen for setting this up for him, and frankly, he preferred to get this kind of thing done quickly,

there was no reason to turn it down.

Unlike the theoretical exam, this one was carried out in small groups, and the testing time was much shorter.

That normally made the process go faster, and you’d think more people would sign up.

But in reality, the number of people who could actually learn the theory well enough to get to this stage was small.

On top of that, since every attempt at this level wasn’t free like before, the number of participants was even smaller.

Even now, there weren’t many people around, and Zhu Rong soon found himself standing in the last group of examinees, waiting by the exam tables.

’May he be blessed by all the beauties in the pavilion,’ he thought, sending a little prayer toward the generous man who had saved him some time.

He had decided that the next time he met him, he would personally make one of the finest wines his current skills allowed him to produce.

’A little wine is all it takes to brighten up a day,’ he told himself, already thinking of one of his personal recipes from his past life.

Zhu Rong’s group consisted of five peoplem one woman and four men, all standing in line,

each with their own well equipped work table.

Since it was an exam, almost all the materials were provided by the pavilion, both to assist those who didn’t have any and to eliminate any possible variables in the results.

Standing in front of them was an examiner, different from the last one.

And judging by the badge on his chest, it was clear he was of a higher level, a Master Engraver.

Even though Expert level examiners were technically allowed to oversee this level of test,

the Master Pavilion preferred having Masters themselves handle the exams from this stage onward, at least for the practical parts.

According to the higher ups, Masters could better identify promising talents and guide them accordingly if they were willing to take them in as disciples.

Zhu Rong had no intention of becoming anyone’s disciple, not even of a Grandmaster.

As far as he was concerned, there were very few people in the world truly worthy of teaching him anything, and those few certainly weren’t here.

Hell, if it were up to him, he wouldn’t think twice about telling these Masters that he could teach them a few things.

But he also knew that, given his current strength and reputation,

that would just be a one way ticket to getting beaten up.

The examiner, an old man with a calm and serene expression, looked at the group standing before him.

Without saying a word, he gave a small nod, the signal to begin.

The five examinees didn’t waste any time and quickly grabbed their tools and got to work.

The test consisted of making a proper low grade inscription, it didn’t matter whether it was on a weapon or a paper talisman.

The important part was that whatever object or runic formation they chose had to be complete and properly engraved.

Some people immediately went for weapons, the most famous medium for engravings and also a rather difficult choice at the beginner stage, clearly hoping to show off.

Others went straight for talismans made from different materials, ranging from wood to even jade.

You were allowed to bring your own material for the test, but only if it was inspected beforehand.

Zhu Rong saw one guy deciding to engrave on a piece of jade for the test and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’This guy has too much money to waste,’ he thought, shaking his head.

Jade itself was expensive and ruining it would be a disaster for the other guy.

It was difficult to engrave, and it only took a small mistake to ruin everything.

Starting with something like that for a beginner exam was basically asking to get smacked in several languages.

Zhu Rong stopped paying attention to what the others were doing and immediately got to work on his own test.

He had already decided what he was going to use as his object for the test.

Without wasting time, he grabbed ink, a brush, and a piece of paper and got to work.

The examiner, seeing that everyone had begun, started checking them one by one, silently noting various things,

their techniques, the runes they used, their methods.

His expression stayed unchanged, giving no clues to what he might be thinking, until his gaze fell upon the fifth examinee.

His expression flickered slightly when he saw the material the other person had picked.

A paper talisman?
