Chapter 20: Taking up the Farr Profession
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The last class in the afternoon was Teacher Wang Jianjia’s English class.
After the bell rang, the classroom instantly beca noisy because it was the holidays.
Wang Jianjia put down the test paper regretfully and said loudly, “Students, please be quiet. I have sothing important to announce.”
“After I’m done, you can leave imdiately!”
“If you keep making trouble, I’ll keep waiting until you quieten down!”
Wang Jianjia’s words were very powerful. After she finished speaking, the noisy classroom imdiately went silent.
“Next Monday is the second provincial joint mock exam! It’s especially important. Don’t forget to revise your howork when you get ho...”
“The results of this provincial joint exam will be announced online. If your results are too bad, you will be mocked by the third-year students in the province.”
“Furthermore, the school has implented a new policy to use the results of this mock exam as the basis for further class segregation!” Wang Jianjia said very seriously.
“Students ranked below the 100th in the entire grade will form a new class called the Progressive Class.”
This was because the school felt that the students ranked in the bottom 100 of the cohort were basically hopeless. If they were scattered in different classes, they would even affect the learning of the classes.
The school might as well put these lousy students together, in any case, they were already at rock bottom.
As soon as Wang Jianjia finished, everyone in class looked at Li Chengqian with gloat and pity in their eyes.
They don’t know about the other students but judging from Li Chengqian’s results from the previous few tests, he was definitely in the bottom 100 of the grade.
In other words, after the exam results are released next week, Li Chengqian would be kicked out of Grade 12 Class 5.
Jian Qingli smiled at Li Chengqian and whispered, “Li Chengqian, I think the school is targeting you.”
Li Chengqian smiled and didn’t respond.
In his previous life, he had indeed been sent to the Progressive class.
But it was impossible this ti round!
That was because as long as the questions are within the syllabus, he would be able to score full marks for any test paper!
Liu Daqiang couldn’t hold back the smile on his face. If Teacher Wang Jianjia wasn’t still in the classroom, he would definitely have laughed out loud.
These few days, he discovered that Li Chengqian was indeed listening attentively in class.
However, it had only been three days, how much could Li Chengqian improve?
The most he could do was to score 30 more marks.
He was still worried that if Li Chengqian continued to be so serious, he might really do better at the university entrance examination.
After listening to what Teacher Wang Jianjia said, he was no longer worried.
Because Li Chengqian would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class.
How could a good teacher be assigned to the Progressive class? The teacher assigned to the Progressive class would be soone who had just joined the profession and wouldn’t have much teaching experience.
Without good teaching resources, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to improve in such a short period of ti.
“Two days ago, Li Chengqian even asked to wait and see his exam results...”
“This is great!”
“I’m really waiting to see your results this ti. Then, I’ll wait to see you get kicked out of Grade 12 Class 5.”
The other students looked at Li Chengqian with pity before retracting their gazes.
“That’s it. School’s over!” In an instant, most people rushed out of the classroom.
“Li Chengqian, co with . I want to talk to you alone.” Wang Jianjia didn’t leave, but waved at Li Chengqian.
She also felt that the school’s policies were unfair to students like Li Chengqian.
However, she was a nobody and couldn’t change the school’s decision.
She had been observing Li Chengqian’s behavior the past few days.
Li Chengqian listened especially attentively in every lesson. There was a huge change in his learning attitude from before. She could clearly see that Li Chengqian had really changed.
Wang Jianjia would never give up on any student who was willing to learn.
It would be a real pity if Li Chengqian really gave up on studying because of this incident.
“Teacher must have been worried that Li Chengqian would be provoked, so she asked him to stay back so that she could give him a prep talk.” Liu Daqiang was still packing his bag.
“Poor thing, he is about to be chased to another class. How pitiful.” Although Liu Daqiang said this, his beaming face clearly indicated that he was in a great mood.
In Wang Jianjia’s office.
“Li Chengqian, I will continue to give feedback to the school about the new segregation policy and try to keep you in our class.”
“However, the chances are not high.”
“But I can promise you that even if you enter the Progressive class, you can co to if you have any problems.” Wang Jianjia said seriously.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Li Chengqian’s eyes. Then, he said calmly, “Teacher, thank you for your concern.”
“However, I’m confident that I can stay in Grade 12 Class 5!”
Li Chengqian wasn’t planning to lie low in this exam!
He wanted to score full marks!
Then, he would bring the results ho and show them to his parents!
...
He wanted his parents to stop worrying about his results and stop being embarrassed in front of their colleagues.
He wanted his parents to be able to proudly tell others that when his son scored full marks in the second provincial mock exam!
“En, I have faith in you, but don’t be too optimistic. You also have to prepare for the worst outco. You may go now.” Wang Jianjia looked at Li Chengqian’s confident appearance and couldn’t bear to dampen his spirits, so she could only frown and remind him.
In the last exam, Li Chengqian’s ranking in Tianyi High School was 10th from the bottom.
Her thoughts were the sa as Liu Daqiang’s. Li Chengqian had indeed been very focused these few days, but how much could he improve just by concentrating for a few short days?
“Yes, Teacher!” Li Chengqian replied and quickly returned to the classroom.
He could naturally tell that Teacher Wang Jianjia didn’t believe him, but he didn’t explain because there was no need to do so.
After the exam results are released next week, Wang Jianjia would know why he, Li Chengqian, was so confident.
“Open the personal interface.” When he returned to the classroom, Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart while packing his bag.

“Purchase a Profession Slot!” Without thinking, Li Chengqian directly opened the Profession Mall.
[You have consud 10,000 experience value points. You have obtained a new Profession Slot. You have 7,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
Li Chengqian switched to the Profession Certificate purchase interface and bought the Profession Certificate for the Farr profession without hesitation.
[You have consud 5,000 experience value points. You have obtained the Profession Certificate for the Farr profession. You have 2,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
A new page appeared in front of Li Chengqian.
[Profession Certificate: Farr]
[Job Requirent 1: You need a hoe (Incomplete)]
[Job Requirent 2: You need a unit of arable land (Incomplete)]
These two requirents were exactly the sa in the Master of All Professions ga that Li Chengqian played in his previous life.
He could purchase a hoe from a hardware store on his way ho.
As for land, there were many overgrown grasslands below his block. According to the rules of the Master of All Professions ga, a one square ter piece of land was considered a unit of land.
“All set!” Li Chengqian walked out of the classroom with a face full of smiles.
At his block, Li Chengqian spent Herculean effort cleaning up a piece of grassland that was one ter long and one ter wide.
Then, he used the newly bought hoe to turn the soil.
The second notification of the Farr profession appeared in front of him.
[Profession Certificate: Farr.]
[Job Requirent 1: You need a hoe (Completed)]
[Job Requirent 2: You need a unit of arable land (Completed)]
[You have successfully taken on the Farr profession! Current Farr profession level 0...]
“Woohoo, it’s finally completed!” Li Chengqian almost collapsed from exhaustion. After seeing the notification of his successful transition, he was so excited that he almost cried out.
“Open the personal interface!”

Experience Pool: 2,9
“Upgrade!” Li Chengqian began to upgrade with eager anticipation.
The experience value points in the Experience Pool were universal and could be used to upgrade the Farr profession proficiency level.
Very little experience value points was required to upgrade a basic Profession, so Li Chengqian didn’t hesitate to upgrade the Farr profession to level 9.
[1,421 experience value points consud, Farr profession upgraded to level 9 (advanced), 1,527 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
[Your Strength Stats 9, current Strength: 19 points.]
[Level 0, you have obtained Passive Skill: Endurance (Novice 0/1). Skill Effect: Endurance increases by 10%, consumption decreases by 10%.]
[Level 3, you have obtained Skill: Wasteland Reclamation (Novice 0/3). Skill Effect: Consus 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly turn 10 units of wasteland into fertile farmland and can flatten the terrain of this portion of land.]
[Level 5, you have obtained Skill: Planting (Novice 0/5). Consus 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly plant seeds on 10 units of land. The yield of crops will be constantly maximized. The growth ti will be reduced to 1 hour.]
[Level 7 Skill: Harvest (Novice 0/7). Consus 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly harvest 10 units of crops.]
[Level 9, you have obtained passive skill: Strength (Novice 0/9). You have been doing manual labor for a long ti. You are strong and powerful. Your strength has increased by 10%.]
When Li Chengqian raised the level of the Farr profession to level 9, an explosive burst of power ca out from his body.
The fats on his belly disappeared at an extrely terrifying speed after his Strength Stats increased. Then, it turned into an eight-pack.
Every part of his body felt warm, as if he was soaking in warm water.
The increased Strength Stats released crazy amounts of energy, but without endangering Li Chengqian’s health.
Li Chengqian waved his arm, and a powerful force surged out from his body, making Li Chengqian feel as if he had an inexhaustible source of strength.
“This is a wonderful sensation.” Li Chengqian couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.
Only then did he turn his attention to the new Skill.
“These two Skills are both abilities to increase one’s physique. Upgrade!”
[You have consud 810 experience value points. Passive skill: Endurance (Master), Passive skill: Strength (Master). You have 717 experience value points left in the Experience Pool.]
After the Endurance skill was upgraded to Master level, the effect would be increased by 60% and the consumption would be reduced by 60%.
Li Chengqian initially felt quite hungry because he was busy farming after he ca back from school, and didn’t have ti to eat.
After the Endurance skill has been upgraded to Master level, the originally unbearable feeling of hunger beca less uncomfortable.
After the Strength skill reached Master level, the increase was from 10% to 60%.
Li Chengqian felt his body heating up. A powerful force was in his body trying to find an outlet.
The fatigue in his body was swept away, and he instantly beca energetic!
The Strength Stats on his personal interface increased from 19 points to 30.4, more than three tis that of an ordinary person!
Initially, he felt that the hoe in his hand was a little heavy, but now, it was light as a straw.
After testing the effect of the passive skills, Li Chengqian shifted his gaze to the active skills.
The Farr profession was especially important in the Master of All Professions ga. The food that was fard could be used to quickly replenish the consumption of the ga character.
“I’m not in a hurry to upgrade my proficiency for the ti being. I’ll try the skills of the Farr profession first and see the effect in reality.” Li Chengqian looked at the one unit of land he had reclaid with a hoe in front of him.
When he was reclaiming the wasteland just now, he realized that peas are very suitable for use as a test of the effectiveness of the skills.
Although the location he had chosen was very secluded and it was unlikely for anyone to spot him, it would be troubleso if soone did see him.
Peas were very inconspicuous. Even if soone did see them, no one would make much of it.
“I’ll upgrade the proficiency of the Planting skill first. This way, the ti needed to plant will be very short.” According to the mories of his previous life, after upgrading the Planting skill to Master level, common plants such as peas would mature in three minutes.
[You have consud 405 experience value points, Planting skill (Master), 312 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]
“Plant!” After obtaining all the ripe peas, Li Chengqian used the Planting skill on the reclaid land.
[This plot of land was not reclaid using the Wasteland Reclamation skill. The Planting skill cannot be used.]
“Then let’s use Wasteland Reclamation skill to reclaim first!”
Fortunately, the range of use for the Wasteland Reclamation skill could be controlled. The smallest range was one unit of land.
“Reclaim!”
Imdiately, the land that he had used Herculean effort to reclaid transford.
The range beca a standard square with a length and width of one ter.
The ground in the square instantly flattened.
The yellow soil instantly turned into fertile black soil. The soil was moist and fertile. It was obvious that it was a good land.
Li Chengqian looked at this scene in extre surprise. This was because in his previous life, in the Master of All Professions ga, he only needed to point at an empty spot. There were basically no changes.
However, in reality, the effect of the Wasteland Reclamation skill was very obvious.
Li Chengqian looked around as if he was a thief. After confirming that there was no one around, he heaved a sigh of relief. “The effect of the skills must not be seen by anyone.”
“Plant!”
A ripe pea disappeared from his hand and landed in the center of the ground.
Then, green sprouts appeared at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, instantly covering the entire land. It was lush, as if it had been growing for a month.
Then, above the land, a notification appeared.
[Watering]
Li Chengqian poured a bucket of water on it.
Imdiately, small white flowers blood on the pea vine, as if they were fast-forwarding. The flowers withered at an extrely fast speed, and the plump pods hung with vines.
[Mature, ready to be harvested]
“Harvest!” After Li Chengqian saw the notification, he used the Harvest skill straightaway.
In the next mont, the pea vines in the ground turned into white dust and landed on the ground. The two plastic bags in front of Li Chengqian beca filled with peas.
[Pea Pods: 30 kilograms]
[Pea pods characteristic. One kg of pea pod can restore 10 points of strength within an hour.]
Without the food planted by the Farr profession, the three-dinsional restoration of the body could only be refreshed at 12 am every day.
Currently, due to the fact that he didn’t have many professions, the consumption of three-dinsional skills was also very low. Therefore, Restoration Stats didn’t seem that important now. However, after the profession has been advanced, about 10 points of three-dinsional Stats would be consud when using a single Skill.
By then, food planted by the Farr profession would be extrely important.
“Let’s eat stir-fried pea pods tonight!” The two bags weighed a total of 30 kilograms, but in Li Chengqian’s hands, they were as light as feathers.
