On the light screen in front of Lin Bei, information about the Survivors' professions was displayed.
Profession Advancement Directions: [Combat], [Logistics]
[Combat Profession: After class change, Combat-related abilities can be unlocked, increasing Combat Power.]
[Logistics Profession: After class change, life-related abilities can be unlocked, increasing survival capabilities.]
The introduction was very simple, only a few lines of text.
Below were the different abilities that could be obtained after changing classes at Level 10.

The above are the basic proficiency skills for the two professional categories.
In addition, professions of different categories can choose a professional advancement every 10 levels.
Professional advancement can grant additional exclusive advanced abilities.
For example, a Combat profession at Level 20 can choose to advance into a [Demolitionist] or a [Scout].
The "Demolitionist" can learn the advanced skill—Explosive Attack, which allows their melee and ranged attacks to have an explosive effect, causing greater damage to target enemies.
The "Scout" advanced profession can learn a new skill—Weak Point Strike, which can detect target weaknesses, and attacking weaknesses grants huge additional damage.
As for Logistics professions, at Level 20, they can choose to advance into a [Collector] or a [Crafter], each capable of learning additional advanced skills that improve collection efficiency and item crafting, respectively.
As for what happens after advancing to Level 30, Lin Bei didn't know.
Because he hadn't unlocked the experience lock due to the previous level cap, his level was still stuck at Level 20.
Only when his level increased to Level 30 could he unlock subsequent professional advancements and view them.
However, judging from the hidden image shadows, he could almost confirm one thing: the professional advancements after Level 30 would still have two different directions.
Of course, as for what they specifically were, he had no idea.
He was currently struggling to decide which professional advancement direction to choose.
Because according to the profession description, once a Survivor chooses a professional direction, they can only follow that path to the end.
Of course, there's always a way out.
If one could obtain a relevant Professional Forgetting Scroll, they could start over.
But how precious was such a thing?
Unless one got incredibly lucky, they shouldn't even dream of getting one.
"Something's not right, wait a minute!"
Lin Bei suddenly exclaimed, looking around and grabbing a stack of purple-glowing parchment scrolls covering him.
These were the rewards from the 1000x critical hit he got when opening the excellent-grade treasure chest.
He hadn't even had time to react to what he got before being buried under a mountain of supplies. Now that he thought about it... he seemed to have gotten scrolls!
Now, regaining his composure and looking closely, he immediately took a sharp breath.
"What the hell? These are... excellent-grade Forgetting Scrolls?"
Lin Bei's arm trembled, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been agonizing over which professional development path to take.
Now it seems... what was he agonizing about?!
He now had a full 1000 Forgetting Scrolls in his hand; he could play however he wanted!
[Forgetting Scroll]
Quality: excellent
Level: 10
Description: A powerful scroll possessing mysterious forgetting power. After use, you can forget your current profession and skills, and restart your professional advancement path.
Durability: 1

"Hahahaha! What a turn of events!"
"This is stable now! Mom no longer has to worry about my decision paralysis!"
Lin Bei's lips curled up, letting out a hearty laugh.
So, without another word, he directly chose the [Combat Profession] and clicked confirm.
[Prompt: You have chosen the Combat Profession advancement direction!]
[Prompt: Congratulations! You have learned the Combat Profession Level 10 basic proficiency skill - Potential Burst!]
[Prompt: You triggered a 10x critical hit!]
[Prompt: Your skill 'Potential Burst' has advanced to 'Potential Surge'!]
[Potential Surge: Active skill, upon activation, Potential Surges from within the body, increasing Combat Power by 100% for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 300 seconds.]
"Holy crap! This can also crit?!"
Lin Bei was stunned.
He was wide-eyed, a mix of surprise and joy on his face.
This ability... it was simply awesome!
But the next second, before he could continue to exclaim, a series of system prompts rang in his ears again.
[Prompt: Congratulations! You have learned the Combat Profession Level 20 basic proficiency skill - Martial Arts Mastery!]
[Prompt: You triggered a 10x critical hit!]
[Prompt: Your skill 'Martial Arts Mastery' has advanced to 'Martial Arts Master'!]
[Martial Arts Master: excellent mastery of various martial arts techniques, meticulous in execution, fully displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster!]
[Prompt: Your Combat Power has increased by 100 points!]
An unprecedented wealth of martial arts experience washed over Lin Bei's brain.
The imagined stinging sensation did not arrive; instead, there was a feeling of clarity and comfort.
At this moment, Lin Bei felt as if his soul had undergone Ascension, and every movement he made seemed to carry a subtle, intangible aura.
"Is this what it feels like to become stronger? Not just a simple increase in Combat Power, but a comprehensive improvement in Combat techniques!"
Lin Bei clenched his fists, his eyes unable to hide his shock.
Because just as he mastered the Martial Arts Master skill, his Combat Power actually soared by 100 points!
Moreover, this was a Combat Power increase different from physical attributes!
His previous three hundred Combat Power, no exaggeration, was almost ninety-nine percent supported by his physical fitness.
If he encountered enemies with powerful martial arts techniques, even if their Combat Power was slightly lower than his, he would likely not escape death if he was careless.
But now it was different; he had gained 100 Combat Power from Martial Arts Master.
Now, he himself was an experienced fighter.
He could be 100% sure that if he faced his former self in close Combat now, he could easily defeat a dozen or twenty of them!
Moreover, he could feel that the Combat Power increase from Martial Arts Master was all-encompassing.
As his level increased in the future, the Combat Power increase would most likely also receive a certain bonus effect.
To verify this, he directly opened the attribute interface and clicked to upgrade.
Sure enough, in an instant, he felt a surging power flow from within his body to all his limbs and bones.
He felt as if a raging fire was burning within him, seemingly wanting to consume him completely.
But this time, he endured the pain within his body.
Like a wooden stake fixed in place, he didn't move an inch.
[Prompt: Your level has increased to Level 22!]
[Prompt: Your Combat Power has increased by 20 points!]
[Prompt: You triggered a 10x critical hit! Your Combat Power has increased by 200 points!]
Originally, even if his level increased past Level 20, he shouldn't have gained more than 5 points per level up.
But now, with the bonus from Martial Arts Master, he could actually gain 10 Combat Power for every level he rose!
Coupled with the guaranteed 10x critical hit effect, he could now increase his Combat Power by at least 100 points for every level he gained!
It was simply too exaggerated!
"Hmm, that means I can now increase my Combat Power by one Bei Bei Nan Gua for every level I gain."
"That's a powerful Ancient Martial Arts Inheritor! Martial Arts Master + critical hit effect, it's truly a bit unbeatable."
"Am I considered a strong person now?"
Lin Bei glanced at his current level and Combat Power.

At this moment, Lin Bei's Combat Power had soared to 605 points!
If he directly used "Potential Surge," his Combat Power should easily break the 1000-point mark!
In that case, he could use the kun bag!
That was the extraordinary equipment he had been longing for!
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, without any hesitation, and chose to use the skill "Potential Surge"!
Boom—!!!
A huge surge of vital energy burst forth from within his body.
In just a breath, the various piled-up materials that were pressing down on him were swept away by a powerful air pressure.
[Prompt: You have activated "Potential Surge"! Combat Power increased to 1210 points! Effect lasts for 30 seconds.]
At this moment, Lin Bei's appearance was like Kakarot using the Kaio-ken in a manga, his face somewhat distorted, his whole body emitting a faint red blood aura.
Lin Bei felt the surging power within him, but did not make any excessive moves. Instead, he turned his gaze to the kun bag tucked at his waist.
Sure enough, he had bet correctly.
After activating Potential Surge, he indeed briefly gained the qualification to use the kun bag!
A distorted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There was nothing he could do; the physical burden was simply too great.
Just maintaining this state was already extremely strenuous for him.
As for managing his expression... let's just treat that as a joke.
