Chapter 5: The Priest in an Awkward Position

Because of serious differences of opinion, the three siblings did not eat very happily at this supper. They seemed to have their own concerns, and after a hasty meal, they washed and fell asleep.

The room at home is not big, only two beds. Shen Mu himself slept one, Wu Shengnan and Yang Xiaoyao slept one, and then separated by curtains in the middle.

Such a humble home is really shabby, but the more it is so, the more Shen Mu admires Wu Shengnan, a girl. From the age of six to support the family alone, this is no longer something that can be done by being strong.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the stars are moving. By the time Shen Mu opened his eyes again, it was already late at night. Judging from the breathing, Wu Shengnan and Yang Xiaoyao should have fallen asleep.

Shen Mu quietly stood up, and after scanning the surroundings vigilantly, he entered a meditative state with confidence. In his sea of consciousness, he could see an incomparably huge skill tree towering in the void. It's just that now this skill tree is all gray, and the dense list of skills on it is all showing an inactive state.

This is the benefit that Shen Mu has crossed over, a complete set of priest professional skill technology trees, and another reason why he must insist on choosing a priest career.

Although there was no way to activate these skills yet, Shen Mu was still very excited. The thought that he was about to be able to unleash these spell skills with his own hands made him unable to express his excitement beyond words.

I couldn't sleep, so Shen Mu simply picked up a copy of "A Brief History of the Whole Profession" from the bedside, and with the meager moonlight, he found a page dedicated to the profession of a priest and read it seriously. Although he has the existence of the Golden Finger of the Crossing Artifact, he still feels that he should know more. After all, his previous knowledge of the profession of priest was through games and novels, and this is a real world, and there must be some deviations in it.

However, after reading half of the article, Shen Mu couldn't help but pout. If there was one word to describe the history of a pastor's career right now, the only word he could think of would be 'sorrowful'!

First of all, under the magical civilization system, it is absolutely inevitable that force determines social status. Therefore, innate factors determine that people will give priority to combat professions as much as possible when choosing a profession. Ancillary professions, such as priests, are not very popular in their own right.

Secondly, under the rapid development of the civilization system, more and more new occupations are being developed, and more vocational skills are also emerging. These new professions and new skills have completely squeezed the living space of pastors, making the pastor's profession more and more dispensable.

Of course, it is not without the eminent priesthood profession who want to change this, and they have also thought of many ways to change it, creating some offensive spells. However, these offensive spells did not save the priest, but only made the priest more embarrassed.

Because the power of these offensive spells is not very strong, it is much worse than the same level spells of the mage. What's more, everyone's mana is limited, and using offensive spells will reduce the number of times healing spells can be cast. If a pastor doesn't have enough milk, who will take you?

This embarrassing situation lasted until more than a hundred years ago, and only slightly improved. At that time, there was a pastor named Xiao Mo, because his family was retaliated against by the enemy, the whole family died tragically, and he was the only one who escaped under the desperate protection of his mother.

Xiao Mo, under the erosion of extreme hatred, showed an amazing talent. Created a promotion class that was diametrically opposed to the priest system at the time - Shadow Priest!

The Shadow Priest has completely abandoned the Priest's healing abilities in favor of specializing in killing magic. It is said that its lethality is more terrifying than that of magicians of the same level, and even the attack method is more bizarre, and the killing method is even more ferocious.

However, it is a pity that Xiao Mo was completely blinded by hatred, and he only wanted revenge and finally died under the ambush of the other party, leaving no inheritance at all. A generation of Shadow Priests ended up being a short-lived legend.

The junior priest wanted to re-establish the promotion system of the Shadow Priest, but the damage spells he could create were still not comparable to those of the mage, and he finally discovered a serious problem. The Shadow Priest's mind is very susceptible to killing, and people will become more violent and cold-blooded, and even lose their minds and become monsters who only know how to kill.

At this point, the Shadow Priest has finally become a taboo for the promotion of the priest's profession, and the Empire has also ordered that the priest be forbidden to advance to the Shadow Priest. The existence of the Shadow Priest can only be found in the literature, and the exact method of promotion has long been sealed.

Closing the book, Shen Mu looked at the starlight outside the window and let out a long breath, revealing a lewd smile: "The priest's promotion system is not only the Shadow Priest! The God of War Dragon Mu, the Dead Whisper Mu, the Ninety-Four Mu, the Great Universe Mu, that one is not an existence that can deter one side, dare to look down on the priest, sooner or later let you know how powerful the shepherd dog is!"

......

Quietly the night passed in a blink of an eye, and a glimmer of white light lit up in the east. With the crowing of the rooster, another day begins.

Wu Shengnan still got up very early. Although she slept late last night, years of life have made her accustomed to waking up at this time. She needs to give her younger siblings the best breakfast as soon as possible, and then she has to go out to work at a breakfast shop before half past five.

But today, she just got up and found that Shen Mu was gone, and after looking around, she found him in the yard. At this time, Shen Mu was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard, breathing and meditating against the newly rising sun.

Meditation is a very primitive way to increase mental strength. High-level professionals have basically abandoned this time-wasting method, and only junior high school students regard it as an exercise in the enlightenment stage.

Seeing Shen Mu so diligent, Wu Shengnan could only sigh, turned around and continued to make breakfast.

Today's breakfast was hearty, porridge, omelet, pickles, and two servings of milk. The three siblings seem to have forgotten the little dispute last night, and they still eat breakfast very harmoniously. Only Wu Shengnan was still a little worried, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "I will graduate from high school in a week." I plan to go to Beiyang University in college, so that it can be closer to home. In the future, the family may have to rely on the two of you, and I will send some living expenses back every month. ”

"Eldest sister, didn't you say that you want to go to college in Beidu?" asked Yang Xiaoyao innocently.

"The university in Beidu is too difficult to get into! I'm not sure I'll be able to get in. Wu Shengnan laughed self-deprecatingly. But Shen Mu could hear it, presumably the real reason should be that the tuition fee was too expensive.

The cost of attending a university in this world is extremely expensive. If you don't have a certain amount of talent, you will basically go to work after finishing high school. Only those students who are gifted and from good families have the opportunity to go to university.

Wu Shengnan's high school fees were waived by the school, which can be said to have saved a lot of money. But there is basically no such good thing in college. There are more talented students in the university than her, and it will never be her turn to reduce the tuition fee. So she has worked hard for the past three years, and finally saved up the tuition for the first year.

"I'll figure out how to pay for my family's living expenses, eldest sister, you can go to college with peace of mind! I'll be a high school student when school starts again." "Shen Mu really thinks this girl is amazing. In every way, I feel that I should help her share the pressure. Besides, he is a big man who is in his 40s in his two lifetimes combined, so how can he be embarrassed to let a little girl raise him.

"Yes, Xiao Hao has grown up!" Wu Shengnan smiled very happily, looked at Shen Mu softly, and said: "Since you have your own ideas, go for it! Although the pastor's development prospects are not very good, it is better to be safe and stable, at least you can support a family in the future." ”

Regarding Wu Shengnan's idea of still singing the pastor, Shen Mu unceremoniously refuted it and said domineeringly: "No, eldest sister, you are wrong. The priest will definitely have a great future, and it won't be long before I will prove it to you. ”
