Chapter 2 - Choice

Only took five years?

Only? Here's an egg-shaped good review for you!

What kind of proper game takes five years to load?

Qi Ping was a bit exasperated.

But seeing this familiar game, his heart was filled with more surprise.

"I didn't expect this game to cross over with me..."

This game was a niche modified game that Qi Ping had casually searched for and downloaded online when he was bored in his previous life.

He found that the skill settings within were quite novel and interesting.

At that time, Qi Ping had spent a good half a year grinding, trying out most of the classes. It could be said that Qi Ping was thoroughly familiar with most of the classes within.

"With these twelve profession templates to choose from, my situation in the Cultivation World should improve significantly!"

Although these professions probably couldn't compare to the path of cultivation, they were still much stronger than Qi Ping's current low-level Talent.

Moreover, as the saying goes, once you can learn skills across professions, profession balance ceases to exist!

Therefore, as long as he chose the right profession and mastered its skills, he might not be unable to achieve something in the Cultivation World.

There are no useless professions, only useless players!

As a veteran player of the modified D&D game, Qi Ping was somewhat qualified to say this.

"So the key now is to choose the most suitable profession."

"This profession must be suitable for development in the Cultivation World, and also suitable for my current situation..."

Qi Ping couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

This choice was very important, and there was only one chance to choose. If he didn't choose well, there would be no chance to regret it later.

"First, eliminate some obviously unsuitable professions, and then carefully compare the rest..."

There were too many professions, so Qi Ping finally decided to use the process of elimination first.

"First, we can eliminate the Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, and Monk professions..."

After weighing it for a while, Qi Ping first eliminated four professions.

The Bard is a support profession, with skills mainly in the Inspiration, Illusion, and Charm series. There aren't any powerful people around him, so he can't possibly go support the slacking Old Zhou, right?

The Barbarian is just a violent brute that affects intelligence. In the Cultivation World, he is undoubtedly a small wild monster. Only someone with a hole in his head would choose him.

Most of the Cleric's skills are support and healing types, somewhat similar to the Bard, so he is also unsuitable.

The Monk is actually an Eastern martial artist, skilled in fist and foot techniques. He might be considered in a martial world, but his use in the Cultivation World is limited.

"After eliminating these four professions, there are eight left, and then..."

After pondering for a while...

"We can further eliminate the Fighter, Paladin, Rogue, and Ranger professions."

The Fighter, like the Monk, is a tank and a grinder, more suitable for a martial world.

The Rogue, in layman's terms, is a thief. His abilities lie in stealth and backstabbing, which are also unsuitable for his current situation.

The Ranger is also pretty similar, not very useful in the Cultivation World.

The Paladin is a bit more interesting. His power comes from faith in light, and there's actually quite a bit of room for him to operate in the Cultivation World, but in the end, he is still more suitable for a martial world.

For example, the Buddhist Sect that requires faith, and the Confucian Sect's Righteousness , and so on.

"After eliminating eight professions, there are now four types of professions left: Bloodline Sorcerer, Druid, Mage, and Warlock. Their roles in the Cultivation World seem to be significant, and they can be played in many different ways..."

The Bloodline Sorcerer's power comes from his Bloodline, and the Cultivation World is not lacking in powerful demonic beasts. There are even Divine Beasts like True Dragons, Qilins, and Taoties. If he can bathe in these Bloodlines, the power a Bloodline Sorcerer can possess is extremely terrifying.

The Druid's power comes from his faith in nature. His abilities include Nature Casting, Animal Transformation, Beast Taming, and Farming. He is naturally attuned to Nature Affinity and has the widest range of employment in the Cultivation World.

The Mage, commonly known as 'Faye' (Faye), is the most powerful spellcaster. Faye's strength is beyond doubt. When cultivated to the Peak, he can even establish a divine kingdom.

The Warlock's Spell Techniques lean more towards evil arts and strange curses. His scope for development is also very large, especially suitable for Demonic Sects.

Overall, these four professions all have significant scope for development in the Cultivation World, and if played well, they are all very strong.

"The four professions most suitable for the Cultivation World have been selected, but while they are suitable for the Cultivation World, they must also be suitable for me..."

Facing different circumstances, the suitable choices are also different.

For example, if Qi Ping were in a Demonic Sect, the Warlock would be the best choice, without any hesitation.

But now, Qi Ping immediately eliminated the Warlock first. His personality was not suited for joining a Demonic Sect that devours people without leaving bones.

The reason is simple: Qi Ping was afraid of death. Joining a Demonic Sect was too precarious...

"The Bloodline Sorcerer needs to bathe in the Bloodline of powerful wild beasts. But currently, I have no way to obtain a powerful wild beast Bloodline. Under this premise, this profession might not be of much help to me in the short term..."

After all, he couldn't possibly expect Old Zhou, a Qi Refining fourth-layer Cultivator, to hunt those demonic beasts with powerful Bloodlines, could he?

Plus, he was a poor guy. Even saving up spiritual stones for ten years might not be enough to buy a powerful demonic beast Bloodline, especially since the Bee Swarm is having problems now, he might not even be able to pay the rent.

So the Bloodline Sorcerer was also unsuitable.

"Faye is indeed powerful. If my Talent was good and I was in a Cultivation Sect, once I got established in the later stages, I could definitely reach a level of destroying heaven and earth..."

Earth Fire Wind Water Forbidden Curses, Space Magic, Time Magic... each one is capable of destroying heaven and earth. Stacked together with Cultivators, the effect would definitely be explosively strong.

"But Faye is also truly squishy, especially in the early stages, it's too easy to court death. With my current squishy low-level start, the difficulty of getting established is probably hellish..."

At this point, Qi Ping could only place his gaze on the last profession, the Druid...

The Druid was a profession that had interested Qi Ping from the start, but this choice was too important, so he still carefully compared all of them.

Choosing wrongly would truly lead to a lifetime of regret!

"The Druid has four abilities: Beast Taming, Farming, Transformation, and Casting. Among them, Beast Taming and Farming can immediately provide me with significant help..."

The Druid has the ability to be affinity with animals, allowing him to communicate with animals and contract Animal Companions.

The most direct use now is that it can allow Qi Ping to immediately understand the reason for the Bee's restlessness by communicating with the Bees.

Beast Taming can also quickly enhance his combat power in the early stages. For example, contracting a nest of hornets would be enough to pose a threat to a Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivator.

Animals with lower intelligence like these would be easier for a Druid to contract, and their combat power is also quite decent.

The Farming ability can allow Qi Ping to grow flowers and spiritual herbs. The use of this ability in the Cultivation World doesn't need much explanation.

"Besides this, the Druid is naturally attuned to nature, and should have a slight advantage in comprehending the Dao..."

"Especially since this body of mine has low Talent and average comprehension..."

Mentioning this made Qi Ping feel a bit uncomfortable. Having the lowest grade Wood Spirit Root was bad enough, but his comprehension was also terrible!

For even the most ordinary wood-attribute Cultivation Technique, the Wood Shield Skill, Qi Ping took over two years just to barely get started.

This almost angered Old Zhou to death, making him once suspect if Qi Ping's head was made of elm wood.

This was also one of the reasons Qi Ping gave up on Faye. With his level of comprehension, choosing Faye seemed no different from courting death.

"So, I should still choose the Druid! The abilities of Beast Taming and Farming will definitely not be wrong..."

Moreover, it can immediately solve the problem the Bee Swarm is facing.

This was his current foundation for survival.

After making his decision, Qi Ping no longer hesitated...

"Choose the Druid profession!"
