Long ago, the Humans of Blue-Star discovered the truth of the universe.
A cycle of Life and Death, the Eternal circle of Birth and Destruction.
Humanity's quest for survival began.
The world underwent drastic changes. Countless creatures evolved. Myriad hostile civilisations emerged.
Humans evolved too.
Hundreds of path rose. With the help of Spirit Mother AI, humans unified those paths under the name of "Career-Change"
The Unified Career Choice Ceremony that the country prepares every year is the only opportunity.
All humans who are above the age of 18 are eligible to participate.
----------------------
Third Red Rock High School
"Dear students, no matter what type of careers you begin, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will have the opportunity to get ahead!"
"Your start now will not determine your future achievements!"
On the podium, the Head-Teacher, Lu Wen, who looked to be in his thirties, said.
As the maximum of human population at the age of 18 are high school graduates, High schools are centers of Yearly Unified Career Choice Ceremony.
Everyone is full of excitement and hopes to become a rare professional and fight at frontlines, winning glory, fame and fortune.
But the fact is that almost 80% of people are disillusioned.
Most students obtain life occupations that have no fighting ability at all.
The ceremony began silently like the beginning of annual exams and ended quietly with a mixed feeling of joy and sadness, excitement and relief.
At the end, the Head-Teacher, Lu Wen, once again stood on podium.
"Humanity spends huge resources every year to hold the unified career choice ceremony in all schools to help you get a career. The purpose is very simple."
"Just to let more people have the opportunity to realise their potential!"
"I got the news that the threshold for the college entrance examination will be raised tomorrow, and the passing line will be 100 points higher than before."
"However, this also means that those who rank higher will receive more generous rewards."
"So you should adjust your condition when you go back. Don't hesitate to spend money on equipment and skills; otherwise, you will miss the college entrance examination and regret it for life!"
Under the podium, the crowd of students was excited.
Many were happy with their career paths.
Many students were downcast, their eyes dim, and the atmosphere was polarized.
Sitting on the window seat, Jun Hao held his head with one hand, his face a little absent-minded.
As in popular stories, he is a time traveller.
Just this morning, he woke up in this familiar yet unfamiliar world.
"Jun Hao!"
At this time, the pretty girl in the front row turned around, her eyes apologetic, and she slowly said, "I'm sorry, the college entrance examination is too important. This is the only chance for ordinary families like ours."
"Liu Liang agreed to team up with me, so... I'm sorry, you can find someone else."
Jun Hao looked slightly startled, then he remembered what was going on.
The two have always been in a similar position since they were in high school, and they often communicated and talked. Therefore, when they were about to change jobs, they agreed to enter the dungeon together for the college entrance examination.
Both of them had a good impression, so Jun Hao naturally did not refuse.
But now, everything has changed.
If it were the original Jun Hao, he would be dissatisfied because it was nearly impossible to find new teammates for the college entrance examination.
The careers are divided in many ways. The most common method is the Mortal, Life, Combat, Unique, Legendary and Heavenly Classification.
Mortal Careers have no further path ahead. Life and Combat specialists are well-explored careers with thousands of predecessors paving the way forward. The higher ones are self-explanatory.
A mortal professional is destined for a very short career. It may have its moments of glory, but with the slow growth after a few years, mortal careers fall to dust. Without enough time to compete against the world, most choose not to team up with Mortal Careers.
The girl was able to choose a life profession; hence, teaming up with a mortal profession was a no-go for her.
In particular, Jun Hao's mortal profession is one of a kind. He was a well-known student with excellent grades; hence, his career choice soon spread in the community.
This made finding teammates nearly impossible.
However, he is very calm now.
Having lived a life, Jun Hao had completely changed.
"No problem."
After hearing such a simple answer, the girl's face showed surprise.
She thought Jun Hao would at least question her about why and was prepared to explain a few more words to eliminate his concern.
But why doesn't he seem to care at all?
Thinking of this, the girl suddenly felt a tinge of unhappiness.
After silently looking at Jun Hao's emotionless face, she apologised again and then turned back.
The girl on the side asked in confusion: "Xiaoyan, you did nothing wrong in the first place, why are you so humble?"
"He is now a snow-kid. How can he be worthy of being a member of your class? Besides, playing in the snow, what can he even do?"
"Haha, a snowball thrower, what kind of fighting power can he have?"
"It's not just me; everyone else also laughed. It's embarrassing to the class."
"I asked a lot of people, and they all concluded that Jun Hao is useless. If you team up with him, you won't be able to pass the college entrance examination."
"Look at Liu Liang. He chose a combat profession - Heavy Lance Knight, with excellent output and damage resistance!"
"Moreover, his family still has money, and even the teacher next door thinks he has a bright future."
"How does Jun Hao compare to others?"
Zhang Yan's brows relaxed, and the sullenness just now disappeared.
After listening to her best friend's analysis, she was even more sure that she had not made the wrong choice.
The college entrance examination is a threshold for professionals; she must pass it!
Even if it makes people disgusted, it's okay.
Just then, Liu Liang also arrived.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyan, my dad bought a unique-level skill book. As long as I understand it, I'm sure to win the college entrance examination tomorrow!"
"Even if we are ranked among the top 100 in the city, we can still compete!"
"Really? It's amazing!"
After the words fell, Zhang Yan was a little surprised, and her moist eyes lit up.
"Of course." Liu Liang raised his chin with a proud expression.
His eyes vaguely looked towards Jun Hao.
Have you seen it? This is the gap!
In the past, Jun Hao was popular with an excellent physique and top three grades every year.
Now, after switching to a combat profession, he finally got to experience it.
It's cool, it's really cool!
"Wow... A unique-level skill book seems to cost at least more than 100,000, right?"
"This is still a top-quality book of Unique-level, and the price is doubled. My family also spent a lot of money to finally buy it."
As the college entrance examination approaches, many wealthy families begin to raise prices to buy equipment and skill books.
In every society, One wants their descendants to enter the top universities.
"Can you take me with you, Liu Liang? I'm willing to do anything!"
Looking at this best friend sitting next to Zhang Yan, Liu Liang refused directly.
She's not as good-looking as Zhang Yan, so why should he?
...
Ignoring the words around him, Jun Hao waited until the bell rang and walked out of the classroom silently.
On the way home, he shopped for relevant equipment in the kids' toy shops and some daily groceries.
After having his dinner, he looked for a place where no one would disturb him.
He unlocked his career information from his AI watch.
