"Will I still be able to use my professional skills in this Divine Game?"
Silence.
That alone was an answer.
"I won't bring the gacha machine," Rita said immediately. "But I don't want a new skill, either. I want to bring my alchemy knowledge and expertise. Is that allowed?"
This Divine Game was too strange. The god behind it was giving her bizarre choices. Even that line she heard upon entering—"If you could only keep three skills for the rest of your life…"—was suspicious. And now, if even her profession couldn't be used?
She needed to hedge her risks.
A skill that let her rebuild from nothing was good, but being able to survive with her profession was an extra layer of protection. Even if she didn't use it, it was still a fallback.
Gacha crafting had steep material requirements—most of which didn't exist in BS.
Cooking was good, easy to learn, low material demand, usable anywhere. But it was too replaceable, with a low ceiling. Alchemy, by contrast, was the most balanced.
