On the rooftop, Li Fei lowered her head to hide her burning red face.
A bit flustered.
She simply couldn't figure out why Lin Ye had pulled her up there, wondering what he intended to do.
"Honestly, I want the Healer Badge you're holding!" Lin Ye said straightforwardly, without any hesitation.
"Huh?"
Li Fei raised her head in shock, somewhat doubting her ears.
A profession with 200% compatibility... and he doesn't want it?
Now she finally understands why Lin Ye had asked her earlier if she had her Professional Badge with her; it turned out he wanted to exchange!
Professional Badges are not allowed to be exchanged casually in principle.
Because if it's openly allowed, various inequitable scenarios would arise.
For instance, a powerful individual forcibly exchanging badges for their offspring, or conglomerates purchasing them in bulk to stockpile.
That's why the Professional Alliance strictly prohibits any coercive methods to exchange badges.
But in reality, completely banning badge exchanges is impossible...
As some people obtain professions that aren't compatible enough with their talents, creating a need for exchange.
As long as both parties voluntarily and the exchange doesn't involve monetary compensation or power, it's allowed.
The official platform was even established to facilitate exchanges, using big data to match Awakened individuals with suitable badges.
However, what this platform can match are mostly ordinary professions, and Lin Ye's Flame Warrior can't be found there at all.
"Want to exchange?" Lin Ye asked again.
Li Fei was somewhat troubled, but truthfully, she was willing to exchange!
Because her talent is the S-Class Heavy Body...
Essentially, it's a Warrior talent, and it's oriented toward a tank type!
And the profession she obtained is a Healer, which has slightly less compatibility with her talent, just 95%, slightly below the 100% standard.
She originally planned to apply for a badge exchange on the official platform, seeking a Warrior profession to increase her compatibility to over 120%.
But if she had Lin Ye's Flame Warrior, her compatibility might even exceed 150%!
"Then... what about you?" Li Fei asked, slightly embarrassed.
"I'll be a Healer!" Lin Ye replied with a smile, "If you need, I can be the man constantly working hard behind you."
Li Fei couldn't grasp Lin Ye's suggestive comment, but her cheeks turned even redder.
Is this a confession?
"No way, your badge is too valuable." Li Fei shook her head, refusing.
She felt like Lin Ye was just messing around.
Why would anyone forsake a profession with 100% compatibility?
"You're worried that switching professions will mean I won't have 200% compatibility, right? Let me tell you, my talent is even more compatible with being a Healer; otherwise, why would I want to exchange with you?"
Lin Ye spoke directly: "Moreover, as a Healer, I need a tank. On considering everything, exchanging badges with you is the best choice!"
Li Fei frowned slightly and looked at Lin Ye with a pitiful glance...
She's getting beat up front while Lin Ye heals her from behind?
This image seemed a bit abstract...
Moreover, does a talent really exist that could be 200% compatible with both a Warrior and a Healer profession?
Li Fei didn't know Lin Ye's specific talent because talent differs from profession; outsiders only know the talent rating, not the content.
But she subconsciously overlooked the fact that Lin Ye seemed very knowledgeable about her talent.
Seeing Li Fei's dumbfounded look, Lin Ye knew he had succeeded.
Still as easy to trick as in the previous life!
"You're not tricking me?" Li Fei asked again.
"If I'm tricking you, I'm a puppy; if you don't believe it, let's pinky swear!" Lin Ye said confidently.
"Then... you need to let go first..." Li Fei lowered her head again.
"Oh!" Lin Ye finally released Li Fei's soft and warm hand.
The two linked pinkies...
"Here, you can have the badge, but if you trick me, I'll be guilt-ridden to death." Li Fei said seriously.
"Hey! I'm really not tricking you!" Lin Ye replied irritably.
After some pulling around, both sides finally exchanged badges.
"The task to switch to Flame Warrior is to enter any Fire Secret Realm and clear it. Tomorrow, we'll go to Flame Forest together, I'll help you switch jobs!" Lin Ye accepted Li Fei's badge and said.
"Oh... okay!" Li Fei nodded like a pecking chicken.
Flame Forest is also a fairly mainstream beginner's Secret Realm, so Lin Ye's choice was very appropriate.
"Oh, and remember, don't randomly tell anyone about us exchanging badges!" Lin Ye advised solemnly.
Now, it's known throughout the school that he received a Profession Badge with 200% compatibility.
Soon, this news will likely spread across the city.
If it's discovered he exchanged it for Li Fei's Healing Badge, it would be quite a drama.
The principal would likely be the first to chat with him, and even the city's education department might send someone to investigate.
Lin Ye doesn't want any hassle, so it needs to be kept confidential for now.
Once the profession change is successful, he and Li Fei will have accomplished their mission, and even if the matter is exposed, it won't matter.
Because once a profession is set, there's no turning back.
All of it was voluntary, what could people say?
Of course, surely someone will be penalized over this.
In his past life, Chen Daosheng, as Lin Ye's homeroom teacher, lost his job over this...
Before in class, Lin Ye apologized to Chen Daosheng, partly because of this reason.
But in this life, Lin Ye will never let Chen Daosheng be wronged because of him again.
Li Fei nodded gravely, aware of the matter's importance, and she knew she couldn't tell anyone!
"Good!" Lin Ye stretched out his hand and patted Li Fei's head.
This made the little girl quite annoyed as he shamelessly held her hand again.
Thus the two went downstairs together.
...
The two said their farewells at the classroom door.
Li Fei returned to her seat graciously, despite the odd quiet in the classroom, but she remained calm as though nothing happened.
Only sensing the badge's warmth in her pocket made her unconsciously purse her lips, attempting to conceal her inner delight.
Meanwhile, Su Yaoyao had nearly bitten her teeth off!
It was fine that Lin Ye had held Li Fei's hand while leaving, but then he still held it upon returning.
Doesn't Lin Ye know this makes her feel terrible?
The more Su Yaoyao thought, the angrier she became, resolving to take action.
Before school ends today, if Lin Ye doesn't apologize to her, she will...
Just go directly to him and demand an explanation, and incidentally exchange Lin Ye's badge!
