Daxia Empire, Jiangnan Province, Xihu City
Xihu No.1 Middle School
On the playground of Xihu No.1 Middle School, a Formation Master was busily arranging a magic formation.
Three hundred senior three students stood in formation on the playground, waiting for the most important Card-Drawing Job Transition in their lives.
At this moment, Principal Ning Qin stood on the stage, holding a microphone and giving an enthusiastic speech: "Dear students, ten years of hard study have led to today! I believe your efforts will surely be rewarded!"
"Today is the day for your Card-Drawing Job Transition, and it is also a crucial day that will determine your future!"
"There is no distinction between high and low in occupations. Whether you draw a 'Mage' or a 'Chef', you are all the future of humanity and the pride of Xihu No.1 Middle School. I believe everyone has a bright future!"
"I know everyone is nervous, so I won't ramble on. Here, I wish you all draw the occupation you desire!"
At this time, among the crowd on the playground, Zhang Yuan played with the colored stone in his hand, feeling a sense of expectation in his heart.
He had traveled to this world for several years and had roughly understood the situation of this world.
The colored stone in his hand was called the God Stone, a unique treasure in this world. People could use the God Stone to draw occupations or treasures in the Fate Star Formation constructed by Formation Masters.
In this world, everyone would be given a God Stone by the world when they turned 18, and then the school would organize a unified Card-Drawing event.
And this first Card-Drawing would definitely result in an occupation!
This was the so-called First Job Transition!
Through Card-Drawing, people could obtain corresponding occupations. After that, they could gain experience, level up, and enhance their strength in different ways according to their respective occupations.
Occupations were mainly divided into two major categories: Combat Occupations and Life Occupations, with a ratio of 1:9.
Therefore, Support Occupations had the highest rarity, followed by Damage-Dealing Occupations, and finally Life Occupations.
Although society claimed that Life Occupations could also be promoted to God-level, everyone knew very well that the value of Combat Occupations was far higher than that of Life Occupations.
Comparing Life Occupations with Combat Occupations was just a matter of political correctness.
Otherwise, people would not refer to drawing a Combat Occupation as "drawing gold".
After all, anyone who drew a Combat Occupation would be given another God Stone by the world to draw an exclusive weapon—a special treatment that Life Occupations did not have.
Although Zhang Yuan thought that the power of an occupation depended on the person, and that those God-level Life Occupation holders could also shake the world, even rarer than God-level Combat Occupation holders, he still wanted a Combat Occupation in his heart.
At this moment, a ray of light soared into the sky. Ning Qin immediately waved his hand and said: "Students, line up according to your drawn numbers and draw your occupations in an orderly manner!"
After that, Ning Qin asked the teachers to organize the students to line up.
Zhang Yuan stood at the end of the line, feeling an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
Although he had studied hard since he traveled to this world and his grades had been among the top ten in his grade for years, this Card-Drawing Job Transition depended purely on luck.
There had been cases where the last-ranked underachiever drew a Mage occupation and soared to great heights overnight, while the top-ranked academic genius drew an Auto Repair occupation and fell into decline for life.
Zhang Yuan had been an unlucky person even before he traveled to this world—he always had to make the maximum number of draws to get the desired item in card games, and even drinking water could make him choke. He was extremely afraid of drawing a useless occupation, which would cut him off from the wonderful stage of the world forever.
"Hey! Dummy, what occupation do you want to draw?"
A small, delicate-looking girl in front of Zhang Yuan turned around, jumped up, patted his head, and asked with a smile.
This girl was Li Xue'er, Zhang Yuan's only friend in this school. She was also a wealthy second-generation—rumor had it that Li Xue'er's family was very powerful in Xihu City, but since Li Xue'er never mentioned it, Zhang Yuan didn't take the initiative to ask.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I don't know either. Anyway, I just don't want to draw a Life Occupation."
"I don't want a Life Occupation either. If I can draw a Healer occupation, I can take good care of a dummy like you!"
Zhang Yuan: "Then if I draw a Chef occupation, can I be your personal chef in the future?"
Li Xue'er: "Of course! I'll give you the highest salary!"
"Zhang Yuan, you toad! You'll definitely draw a useless occupation, and you still want to curry favor with Xue'er?"
At this moment, an annoying voice came. Zhang Yuan looked up when he heard the voice, and sure enough, it was Wang Hu.
Wang Hu was the youngest son of the Wang family in Xihu City, and also a suitor of Li Xue'er. Since Li Xue'er was close to Zhang Yuan, he often found trouble with Zhang Yuan.
Li Xue'er frowned and said: "Wang Hu, Li Xue'er and Zhang Yuan are talking. Why are you butting in?"
Wang Hu was stunned for a moment by Li Xue'er's rebuke, but he quickly recovered and smiled at Li Xue'er: "Xue'er, this Zhang Yuan is just good at studying. In this society, good grades mean nothing. He will probably get a Life Occupation. You don't need to be so close to him—it's beneath your status as a young lady!"
Hearing Wang Hu's words, Li Xue'er became even more unhappy and was about to fly into a rage and scold him. Zhang Yuan stopped her in time and shook his head: "Xue'er, the Card-Drawing Ceremony is about to start."
"Hmph!"
Li Xue'er snorted coldly, gave Wang Hu a fierce glare, and said: "I'll settle the score with you after graduation!"
Wang Hu only smiled awkwardly at Li Xue'er, then gave Zhang Yuan a fierce glare, his eyes full of threats—as if he was also saying "I'll settle the score with you after graduation"!
At this moment, Ning Qin picked up the list and shouted: "First, Zhao Li!"
Zhao Li responded, walked to the Fate Star Formation, and put the God Stone into the formation.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click the next page to continue reading! The God Stone turned into light spots and dissipated.
A large number of cards with patterns rose from the formation. Then the cards began to roll in the formation, and finally a blue card flew out.
[Life Occupation: Barber]
Zhao Li staggered and took a few steps back. He never expected that he would become a barber.
"Zhao Li actually became a barber?"
"Didn't he have no artistic talent at all? Who would dare to let him cut their hair in the future?"
"There's no way. Card-Drawing is completely random. He just has bad luck."
The crowd whispered. Zhao Li returned to the queue in a daze. Some people went up to comfort him, while others snickered secretly.
"Zhou Cheng!"
Zhou Cheng, who was called, trotted up, chanting words like "destiny" and "bond". In the end, he successfully drew a Chef occupation.
"Liu Dazhuang!"
"Li Goudan!"
"Wang Hu!"
...
As more and more people went up to draw cards, most of them drew Life Occupations. But Wang Hu had incredible luck—he drew a Combat Occupation: Fire Mage.
However, Wang Hu didn't get anything good in his second draw, only a white staff.
Seeing that the school's harvest was bleak this year, Ning Qin couldn't help but look gloomy.
He had hoped that the school could draw a few rare occupations this year, but in the end, even Combat Occupations were extremely few. The only consolation was that they had a Fire Mage.
"If this goes on, the school's ranking will drop..." Ning Qin sighed deeply, looking much older.
Wang Hu left the formation in high spirits. He deliberately passed by Zhang Yuan and made a throat-slitting provocative gesture.
Li Xue'er looked indignant and said to Zhang Yuan: "Dummy, don't be afraid. He just got lucky!"
Zhang Yuan forced a smile: "I have bad luck..."
Li Xue'er patted her chest and said: "Don't worry! If that guy dares to trouble you later, I'll protect you!!!"
"Li Xue'er!"
At this moment, Ning Qin called Li Xue'er's name.
"I'm going. Wish me luck!"
Li Xue'er immediately winked at Zhang Yuan, then trotted to the formation to draw her card.
A burst of golden light flashed, and then a large number of golden willow branches appeared around the formation!
A golden card with a portrait of an elf goddess appeared in the formation.
[Rare Support Occupation: Elf Saintess]
Wow!
The whole school erupted in an uproar!
"A rare occupation!"
