Even though the Observer said a lot, Lu Luo still felt a bit depressed. Yes, he was too weak. He should add some points first.
The Tier 2 Aberration provided him with 171 energy, and an unactivated talent sequence D-03 - Robust. The gain from this was too far off from a Tier 1 Aberration.
With a total of 176 energy points, reserving 36 points left him with 140 usable energy. Lu Luo wanted to see if the energy required for Agility above 5 had changed, but a new prompt made him stop.
"Your current attributes have reached the limit of your current life tier. Please advance your life tier as soon as possible. Continuing to add points will consume 3 times the energy."
"What is a life tier advancement?"
"It's what you humans call a profession tier. You need to find a way to advance as soon as possible. Friendly reminder: with the help of the powerful S-rank sequence Observer, any profession can lead you to the peak."
Lu Luo pondered the Observer's prompt, "Any profession can lead to the peak." This should be related to the uniqueness of his body or talent sequence.
"Without specific profession requirements, that makes things much easier. But don't I lack any transcendent qualifications?"
"Then how many of your former selves do you think you could defeat now?"
"Even if they all came at me with weapons, I feel like I could take on 10 of them. But I have some questions. My current strength isn't amazing, but it's at least decent, right? Am I still not considered a transcendent?"
"Without considering sequences, you are indeed not a transcendent. Let me put it this way: your current self has only reached the peak of what humans can achieve in certain attributes.
In the Wasteland, ordinary people can potentially reach your current attribute level through certain means, so you are still within the normal human range.
The Wasteland's definition of a transcendent is someone who can do things beyond what a normal person can. You currently cannot control any energy, and your life essence hasn't changed, so you are not a transcendent."
"Gu Fangyi can shoot explosive bullets. According to you, Gu Fangyi is a transcendent, but I'm not? What the hell, that's how you judge it? I can clearly beat him to a pulp."
"Yes, even though you can beat that young man to a pulp, he is a transcendent, and you are currently still a mortal. Annoyed?"
"Annoyed."
"Good, being annoyed is good. Quickly find a way to open a profession channel. No special requirements or grades, just something that can open it."
"Okay, I understand!"
He already had two avenues in mind. The first was to find a way to contact people from Blue sky Pharmaceutical after this incident.
If this matter was truly related to Blue sky Biotechnology, and they were indeed guinea pigs, then Blue sky Pharmaceutical would definitely pay attention to them.
Such large companies would surely have methods for transcending. He had a sponsorship contract with Blue sky Biotechnology, and this incident would certainly be known by Blue sky Company, so he had a high chance of obtaining an advancement method from Blue sky Pharmaceutical.
He needed Aberration corpses, and he needed to go outside the wall, so contacting Blue sky Pharmaceutical early could be a good option. However, this option carried some risks.
The second avenue was to find his older brother, Lu Yang, who had already become a second-class citizen. Lu Yang was called a genius, possessing the B-rank sequence "Camouflage Coating."
He had already been absorbed by the Alliance's higher-ups, and it was still unclear which department he would go to, but it wouldn't be too bad.
Lu Yang definitely had cultivation methods. As his nominal younger brother, obtaining an advancement method from Lu Yang would be relatively less risky.
Lu Luo silently calculated in his mind. The matter of transcendent professions needed to be put on the agenda... Ending his thoughts, Lu Luo refocused on adding points. Since adding Agility was no longer cost-effective, Lu Luo simply used the remaining energy to improve other attributes.
"Let's raise Constitution first. Higher survivability is always a good thing."
Spending 90 energy points to raise Constitution to 5 points, the prompt appeared again.
"Constitution attribute increased to 5.0. You have awakened Sequence D-01 - Tenacity."
Sequence D-01 - Tenacity
Effect - Tenacity: Damage reduced by 5%, can stack with any damage reduction effect.
"Tenacity Advancement: Continue to increase Constitution + Battered and Bruised."
"You actually awakened another talent? Before, I thought you were just lucky, but now it seems you really are different in some ways.
Tenacity is a very promising talent. It seems my previous objective evaluation of you needs to be changed, strong mortal."
Lu Luo automatically ignored it.
"Aren't talent sequences automatically awakened when attributes reach a certain value?"
"How could there be such a good thing? If everyone could awaken sequences, then talent sequences wouldn't be worth anything."
Lu Luo's eyes narrowed. He seemed to have found what made him different from others, or rather, the special talent that was already hidden within this body.
Just like Gu Fangyi's talent was Eagle Eye, possessing extremely powerful observational skills. The special talent of his body might be that it was particularly easy to awaken attribute sequences.
If this was truly his trait, with the Devourer's blessing, the number of sequences he would have in the future would definitely not be small.
"It's a shame I don't have enough energy, otherwise I could try to see if Strength could awaken a sequence."
Next, Lu Luo raised Strength to 4, leaving only 16 points of energy for backup. There was no other way; the talent sequences brought by 5 points of an attribute were too appealing, all real improvements, and he still wanted more.
"If Strength reaches 5 and a new talent awakens, then it proves that this body truly has extraordinary characteristics."
The most urgent matter was still the lack of energy. To get energy, he had to kill Aberrations or obtain fresh Aberration corpses, and outside the wall was the world of Aberrations.
"What is the world outside the wall like?"
...Returning to the others, Chu Qi prepared 2 more javelins for Lu Luo. Gu Fangyi was also very understanding and didn't mention Lu Luo taking his machete.
The machete was stronger in Lu Luo's hands than in his, so he had no reason to ask Lu Luo for it back.
"Next…"
Chu Qi was about to explain the current situation when another shout came from outside.
"Is anyone there? I'm a hunter from the Security Bureau. Are there any survivors? If not, I'm coming upstairs!"
The few of them hadn't yet recovered from the aftermath of killing the Aberration. This shout made everyone, including Lu Luo, look strange.
Zhou Kai said with a look of surprise, "What does this mean? Repeating the same trick? Are they treating us like idiots?"
After the commotion with Liu Ting earlier, everyone was now unsure whether the things appearing behind the gray curtain were actually people.
Just as everyone was feeling a bit startled and uncertain, the gray curtain that had been enveloping the stairwell suddenly dimmed. The monster in the stairwell, the Sleeping Witch, seemed to have undergone some change.
"Although I don't know what happened downstairs just now, the Sleeping Witch's power is weakening. This should be good news for you all, right!"
