MMB Chapter 32 Profession?
Chapter 32 Profession?
"That explains why the system hasn't indicated the task is complete yet."
"So there's an extra reward?"
A look of joy appeared on Meng Ran's face.
He glanced at the bath towel in his hand, then at the system notification.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to take a shower first.
As the saying goes, burning incense and taking a bath are good for winning prizes.
If you can't burn incense, you should at least take a bath first, right?
After washing up carefully, Meng Ran closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and opened the system panel.
[Currently available Chaos reputation: 1300 (new) + 100 (existing)]
[Current item card draw chances x5]
The original 100 points cannot be changed; they are reserved for adding points to [Constitution] for survival.
As for the additional 1300, Meng Ran still chose to add it to [Strength] first.
[Consuming 300 Chaos Reputation Points...]
[Strength 11 → 12 (Consumes 500 Chaos Reputation Points → 13)]
[Adding points...]
[Strength 12 → 13 (Consumes 700 Chaos Reputation Points → 14)]
[Current remaining Chaos reputation points: 500 + 100]
"Oh shit!"
"It's getting more and more expensive, isn't it?"
Looking at the remaining Chaos reputation points, Meng Ran couldn't help but scratch his head. After thinking for a moment, he added the remaining 500 to Agility.
[Adding points...]
Agility 10 → 12 (Consumes 500 Chaos Reputation Points → 13)
[Current remaining Chaos reputation points: 100]
[Host: Meng Ran]
[Physical Fitness: 9]
【Strength: 13】
[Agility: 12]
[Mental Strength: 15 (Cannot be increased at the moment)]
Looking at the new data on the body panel.
Meng Ran couldn't help but clench his fist, and a surge of unprecedented power washed over him.
He felt that his strength had far surpassed that of ordinary people, reaching the top professional level.
Her figure also became like a sculpture, not exaggerated, but full of beauty.
He started thinking about where there was a gym nearby, and going to a gym to lift weights might be the most direct way to get started.
She rolled over and got out of bed.
Meng Ran jumped up and down.
It was only after this jump that he realized he could easily touch the ceiling.
"Holy crap?"
"Can I finally fulfill my childhood dream of dunking?"
Filled with this surprise, Meng Ran jumped up and down again, each jump harder and higher than the last.
After seven or eight minutes of this commotion, he gradually calmed down and focused his attention on the five additional lottery draws.
[Item card drawing in progress...]
[Basic Intelligence Card x1]
[400 million data allowance x2]
"It's you again?" Looking at the two items, Meng Ran was quite satisfied, since the effects of using them before were quite good.
But Meng Ran still instinctively hoped for something new.
As the saying goes, what you think about comes to pass.
The next item card definitely has something new.
[Hidden Financial Account Generation Card X1]
[Description: This product can create a hidden financial account for the host. Using this account to receive payments can circumvent legal risks, avoid account tracing, and circumvent tax issues...]
"Good heavens, is this a tool specifically for taking bribes?"
Meng Ran laughed after seeing the long list of avoidance methods.
However, having such an account would actually solve a lot of problems.
nice one.
Absolutely great stuff.
For a moment, Meng Ran looked forward to the last prop card even more.
[Photography Genius Experience Card X1]
[Description: After use, you will possess top-notch photography skills within 24 hours, always able to capture the desired effects; at the same time, a "professional label" has been activated for the host.]
"???" Meng Ran was stunned. What the heck?
After studying it for a while, Ganman discovered that a new column of information had appeared in his panel.
【Occupation: Trainee Photographer (Proficiency: 0/1000)】
"So, I can accumulate proficiency through photography practice and eventually become a photography genius with top-notch skills?"
Objectively speaking, this is indeed a good skill.
In many cases, a good photograph that touches the heart is more effective than a thousand words.
"Since there's a photography profession, are there any other professions?"
"A racing expert?"
"A gunsmith?"
Thinking of this, Meng Ran picked up her phone, walked to the window, and took a picture outside.
【Occupation: Trainee Photographer (Proficiency: 1/1000)】
"One photo equals one level of proficiency?"
"This proficiency level is actually quite easy to grind."
Without any hesitation, Meng Ran started taking pictures like crazy.
He typed "clack clack" on the keyboard of this Nokia candybar phone.
Before long, his proficiency level was maxed out, and Meng Ran successfully advanced to the level of [Junior Photographer (Proficiency 0/1000)].
The advancement requirement is still 1000 proficiency.
Meng Ran cleared her phone's photo album again and continued scrolling.
As a result, this method of randomly grinding proficiency levels on a mobile phone didn't work.
"Does it require a camera to take a picture?" Meng Ran wondered.
However, he couldn't verify it because he didn't have a camera.
Fortunately, he has money now and can buy a new one whenever he has time, and replace this unreliable Nokia while he's at it.
With a joyful and expectant heart.
Meng Ran turned over in bed and closed her eyes, ready to go to sleep.
The malfunctioning Nokia rang, and when I picked it up, I saw it was Clarissa calling.
Once connected.
Then Clarissa excitedly said, "You know what? My dad just came over and asked me for the dinner invitation."
"Yeah?"
"My God, you really can't imagine how funny his expression was, hahaha..." Clarissa couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
There was relief in the laughter, but more than anything, there were complex emotions.
Meng Ran could understand her feelings because he knew many parents like Edward.
After laughing like that for a while, Clarissa suddenly stopped laughing and said solemnly and tenderly, "Thank you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Ran immediately had a plethora of ways to coax the girl into a conversation.
But in the end, he simply smiled and replied, "You're welcome."
Reply complete.
Their conversation abruptly ended.
For a moment, only the sound of their breathing could be heard through the receiver.
most of the time.
The silence was due to awkwardness.
But at this very moment, the quiet atmosphere is frantically nurturing ambiguity.
In the living room outside, the usual weekend routine was still playing out: the roommate Ethan and his female companion's boisterous laughter kept banging on Meng Ran's not-so-soundproof bedroom door.
Clarissa's increasingly heavy breathing was also pounding on her own heart.
When she was little, she often heard fairy tales about "the prince slaying the dragon and marrying the princess".
As I grew up, my father's "negative education" became that "evil dragon".
She has many suitors, but they are all like Jimmy, with the intention of marrying into her family.
In other words, no matter how outstanding these people are, they will only become the "dragon's" helpers in the end, because the source of their family's power lies in Edward.
Meng Ran, however, was different; he didn't care at all who Edward was.
Clarissa could clearly sense this, which was one of the reasons why she developed feelings for Meng Ran.
I took another deep breath.
Clarissa asked, her voice slightly unsteady, "Do...do you have time tomorrow?"
"I've made an appointment with a real estate agent to view the apartment tomorrow," Meng Ran said, her tone much more reassuring.
"You want to buy a house?"
"Rent a house."
"Why? Isn't the place we're living in good enough?"
"I'm currently sharing an apartment with two people, and I really want to let you hear the noise they're making in the living room. But I don't know if that would count as sexual harassment."
Even though Clarissa is strictly controlled, she can still understand this kind of talk.
Then she burst out laughing.
Smiling, she then asked somewhat absentmindedly, "Do you...do you need me to go house hunting with you?"
In the United States, in this kind of conversation, if a woman offers to accompany you to rent a house, it has a special meaning.
This means she wants to actively intrude into your personal space and hopes to include her in your future plans.
In other words...
This is actually a subtle way of expressing affection and testing the waters.
However, Meng Ran had already arranged for Xia to accompany him to look at houses.
The main reason is that Thea has a lot of experience renting apartments, and Meng Ran felt that bringing her along would help him get advice and avoid making mistakes.
Clarissa...
Has she ever rented a house?
Pooh!
Is the question now whether or not someone has rented a house before?
If he dared to say "no" to Clarissa, her mentality would immediately explode.
The problem is, what about Thea?
Should I tell her at the last minute that I'm not going?
That should be enough to fool them.
But if it gets exposed later, Thea will be even more furious.
However, the risk of exposure is very high, because Clarissa has a mouth and there is no way to guarantee that she will not mention this matter in front of Thea, even if it is not intentional.
