For example, the most classic First Tier Profession Skills, Zhang Yanhang obtained a total of four skills at First Tier: Technique Immunity, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, Gun Master, and Fighting Master.

The latter two skills obviously came directly from his previous Gun Proficiency and Martial Arts Proficiency learned from skill books after career advancement to Heavenly Destiny Master.

Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil is similar. At that time, Zhang Yanhang had an Enemy Seeking Radar; he was constantly complaining that the radar was useless, and as a result, he obtained the Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil skill during career advancement and completely eliminated the radar.

As for Technique Immunity, it is highly possible because Zhang Yanhang ate an Earth Spirit Fruit before. He relied on that Earth Spirit Fruit to form a protective effect, or rather, Spirit Light Protection. Later, he acquired the Technique Immunity skill during career advancement.

Indeed, Heavenly Destiny Master being the inevitable choice in Multiple Choice is always catering to him. The profession skills actually have no fixed content; they are given as the skills he needs.

Including subsequent Second Tier, Third Tier, and Fourth Tier professional skills most of them must have appeared for this reason, which consequently created his powerful strength.

Therefore, he feels that if he occasionally talks about this matter when he has nothing to do before advancing to a higher rank, there is indeed a probability of acquiring relevant skills after the advancement.

Although he can't decide the specific skill effects and strength, the profession skills provided by Heavenly Destiny Master have never been weak, so this point is least worrisome.

"Speaking of which, today I will once again head to Ashen World to clear monsters, wonder if I can trigger today's adventure before entering Ashen World."

Because the Transmission Channel to Raccoon City is scheduled to open at six tonight, Zhang Yanhang fears it may not be possible, but it's not certain, as there are still seven and a half hours. Maybe he can still trigger it.

"I also don't know how large the area opposite the abandoned Transmission Channel in Raccoon City's sewers is and how many days will be needed to clear it..."

If possible, Zhang Yanhang certainly hopes to clear that new area before the Transmission Channel closes, given it opens at six and closes at six the next morning.

This means he will have twelve hours to hunt monsters. If he doesn't rest the whole time, with his current speed, twelve hours is definitely enough to clear a vast area.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang thinks that as long as that new area on the other side isn't too large, like a provincial unit, he can likely clear it within twelve hours.

"Speaking of which, the current maintenance time of the Transmission Channel at Raccoon City has finally reached twelve hours. This means the next time it opens will be twice sooner, turning from six to five, and future openings will be an hour earlier each time."

Regarding the earlier opening of Transmission Channels, Zhang Yanhang thinks it's a good thing, representing a longer maintenance time and allowing him more usable time. Leaving Ashen World before the Transmission Channel closes is crucial if he doesn't want to stay there for several consecutive days.

"Moreover, once the maintenance time of the Transmission Channel reaches twenty-four hours, it also indirectly shortens the cooldown period, turning from once every four days to once every three days."

Sadly, each opening only gets an hour earlier, needing twelve more openings to reach twenty-four hours from twelve hours.

Zhang Yanhang strongly suspects that by then, he would be at least Sixth Tier, while Hundred Taboos can only access areas three tiers lower than one's own, likely preventing him from enjoying such long maintenance times.

Unless Zhang Yanhang can directly find a new Transmission Channel with over twenty-four hours maintenance time and opens every three or four days, he will have the chance to enjoy such privileges.

"So, the question is, what should I do now?"

Zhang Yanhang feels he might have nothing to do again, or rather his time in the Main World always seems to be a state of having nothing to do.

Though this is quite normal, as resting is named such because there's no need to do anything. Handling work during rest time totally contradicts the concept of rest and turns into occupational exploitation.

"With only a little more than seven hours until the Ashen World Transmission Channel opens, randomly running around is impossible. To conserve physical strength, it's better to stay at home."

Mainly Zhang Yanhang is indeed a bit lazy to wander around trying to trigger adventures. He thinks the probability of triggering adventures at home is quite high actually. In his experience, 'pie from the sky' not only truly exists but is quite common.

...

November 1, Sunday, Halloween, also the third day Zhang Yanhang left Ashen World, at ten thirty in the morning, Main World, Qin Island City Southern District, the Department headquarters.

Due to Zhang Yanhang's specific instructions, Zhao Yalan only came to the department to handle entry procedures at ten thirty. How to describe the whole process? It was ridiculously smooth.

Zhao Yalan had just walked to the door without saying a word, and coincidentally met a department member returning from fieldwork who asked her name. Right after asking her name, this totally unfamiliar Awakener warmly led her to handle the entry procedures immediately.

The overall process was incredibly smooth; even the identification documents she prepared became unnecessary. They verified her name and appearance and directly passed it, while providing her an internal account with various permissions for work use.

Furthermore, all relevant department group chats were applied and approved swiftly without exception.

With things reaching this point, Zhao Yalan started pondering who she might have relied on to get through, the backdoor seemed incredibly powerful. Is it really possible for a Fourth Tier Awakener to be this formidable?

Zhao Yalan even doubts if Zhang Yanhang directly reached out to the minister of Qin Island City's branch for her entry into the department.

But despite the doubts, Zhao Yalan ultimately did not directly ask others. After all, everyone acknowledges that using back channels is an open secret. Although it's a known unwritten rule, everyone observes it in silence. It's best she doesn't attempt to break it; otherwise, everyone will suffer. What's happening now, however, is a beautiful multi-win scenario.

They fawned over the leadership, she got the job, and Zhang Yanhang got her favor (he got her photo). Everyone has a brighter future ahead. Isn't this the legendary perfect multi-win situation?

After muddling through the joining procedures with great ease, Zhao Yalan sought someone to locate Zhou Muxi. After all, upon arrival, one must pay homage to the big shot, especially since this was someone specifically recommended by Zhang Yanhang, which made meeting even more necessary.

After all, only by finding the big boss can she secure resources, especially regarding the allocation of media resources. The reason she joined the relevant department was primarily due to the influence and manipulation abilities that official departments have over media resources.

Not much is needed, just a little bit slipping through their fingers. For example, simply putting her picture or name as a logo on TV—a simple gesture like that could outweigh her numerous short videos.

After all, TV provides continuous viewing, whereas a short video lasts a few minutes at most. The Power of Faith gained from a perfunctory one-minute or two-minute 'prayer' is indeed incomparable to the Power of Faith from long-term 'prayers' of at least ten or even dozens of minutes.

Moreover, these long 'prayers' are more suitable for cultivating high-level believers since prolonged and regular viewing can easily fulfill the daily prayer quota and elevate believer levels.

Her short video account initially only had a few hundred thousand followers, whereas Qin Island City alone has a population of twenty million. She doesn't need much. If the relevant departments of Qin Island City can convert even a quarter or a fifth of that population into her believers, her power would certainly skyrocket.

And all of this could be achieved with just a little bit of media resources—a high cost-performance ratio indeed.

Also, because Qin Island is a directly governed city, part of a provincial unit, even if its population resources are insufficient, it can coordinate with other neighboring provincial units to help her continue expanding her believer base frantically.

In other words, with the support of the relevant departments, the vast Empire of two billion people could easily help her enhance her power quickly. The faster her power grows, the more support she could get from the departments. It's a beautiful positive cycle.

However, all of this begins with taking the first step, which is gaining initial resource support. As long as the cycle gets rolling, even if it's initially slow or requires effort, it will undoubtedly lead to a swift boost in her power.

The prerequisite for taking this first step, of course, is paying homage to the big shots. So, after completing the joining procedures, Zhao Yalan promptly went to the office door of Zhou Muxi and knocked.

"Come in."

Zhou Muxi, without even lifting her head, continued operating her cultivation technique while watching a TV drama. Yes, slacking off had to be done so openly; she saved the world yesterday! What's wrong with slacking? She felt justified! Having fought battles all her life, why shouldn't she enjoy herself? Even if the minister came, she wouldn't budge.

Zhao Yalan pushed the door open, and at first glance, she saw Zhou Muxi sitting upright, eyes glued to the screen, seemingly focused on work, but the external speakers betrayed her as she was watching a TV drama.

At that moment, Zhao Yalan thought she was in the right place. If it were a stern leader who spoke in an official tone constantly, she would find communication difficult. But this leader was exactly the type she preferred—one who had a secure, stable job image. With Zhang Yanhang's connection, communication would certainly go smoothly.

"What brings you here?"

Zhou Muxi asked without lifting her head, still staring at the TV screen. Yes, high-level Awakened were indeed audacious. After all, there were only a few dozen Fourth Tier Awakened in Qin Island City. Naturally, she had the right to put on airs.

Moreover, high-level Awakened with eagle vision and acute hearing find it the same whether or not they lift their heads. Therefore, whether she even opened her eyes made no real difference; she could still handle matters normally.

"Chief Zhou, I was introduced by Zhang Yanhang. He told me to come straight to you after I joined the department if I had any issues."

If she encountered a leader who was all about officialdom, Zhao Yalan would have tactfully agreed. But with Zhou Muxi, she thought there was no need for pretense. Speaking directly would be better.

Given how openly she was slacking off, it was clear she had no interest in hearing phony formalities. Such talk would only waste her TV-watching time. So, being direct would allow them to finish early and let her continue watching her show.

"Oh, Zhang Yanhang, huh."

Zhou Muxi nodded blankly.

"Wait…who did you say? Zhang Yanhang?!"

Zhou Muxi raised her head confusedly, looking at the completely unfamiliar stranger before her, puzzled by the situation.

"Yes, my name is Zhao Yalan, and I'm a senior at Zhang Yanhang's university. He recommended me to the relevant department."

As someone from the weaker side, Zhao Yalan sometimes almost forgot she was Zhang Yanhang's senior. Well, such a status doesn't bring much prestige in itself.

"Zhang Yanhang recommended you to the relevant department?"

Zhou Muxi maintained a puzzled expression. She couldn't comprehend how Zhang Yanhang, who hadn't even come to register or receive a high-level family inheritance cultivation method, could recommend this Zhao Yalan to the department. Where would he get such authority? Could Zhang Yanhang have other acquaintances in the department?

Impossible, right? Why would someone with such a poor temperament have other acquaintances? Isn't it customary to seek help from someone like herself, a Fourth Tier Awakener in the department?
