#469 - Sub-professional system!

Without a doubt, the appearance of Thor's Hammer is another iconic event in the Marvel storyline.

It represents the official debut of the Asgardian forces on Earth, and it also signifies that those alien life forms are beginning to appear openly in the eyes and social lives of Earth's humans.

However, facing such a landmark event with significant meaning, Liang Yue had no intention of going over to join in the excitement.

His life continued, and it wouldn't change because of this cliché story of an alien prince being exiled to Earth, which started strong but fizzled out.

During this time, Liang Yue continued to live according to his own rhythm.

Normal morning exercises, going to class, leaving school, returning home, and then entering the stronghold world to do some of his own things.

For example, that Professional-level Regular Script skill he had drawn before!

Recently, Liang Yue had officially incorporated it into his training schedule and gradually formed a habit.

Although this skill entered his body in the form of an empowerment, passively blessing him with some miraculous effects.

However, there is still a considerable difference between theoretical knowledge and actual practice.

Liang Yue noticed this the first time he picked up a writing brush.

When he first started practicing, there was no so-called divine assistance or instant success as in the legends.

Although Liang Yue had all kinds of knowledge, theories, and even subconscious habits about writing in his mind.

All of this was ruined by his clumsy strokes and unfamiliar way of holding the brush. The characters written in this situation, not to mention possessing both form and intent, or the unity of spirit and form, couldn't even achieve the most basic neatness and beauty.

Fortunately, Liang Yue was well-prepared mentally, had patience, and a foundation of material conditions…

Various calligraphy copybooks, writing brushes, poetry, lyrics, famous essays, and expensive inkstones were available for him to splurge on.

In addition, he deliberately set aside an hour of focused practice time after meals every day.

Soon, after about a month.

Well, a month in the stronghold world. In the real world, excluding the half-day spent at school, it roughly amounts to less than two weeks.

In this way, with the blessing and assistance of the skill, Liang Yue's mastery of this calligraphy skill finally entered the right track and embarked on the right path.

A representative event of this was the system-recognized skill proficiency, which finally increased by three points from the original zero…

Of course, in Liang Yue's opinion, whether the proficiency increased or not was not important in itself.

Because for him, calligraphy was just a way to cultivate his sentiment and a means of writing when necessary.

Liang Yue didn't need to integrate calligraphy into his martial arts like Bald Brush Weng from the Plum Manor Four Friends in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer world and use it to fight enemies.

Nor did he need to enter the Dao through this path of cultivation, thereby achieving the alternative existence of the legendary Book Immortal and other levels.

In short, for him, he wouldn't deliberately seek anything profound or romantic. As long as it was enough, it would be fine.

Although there was no change in appearance, his entire temperament had become completely different!

Chinese people often say ~ what comes from within affects the outside. This change in Liang Yue naturally stemmed from his own spiritual changes.

Of course, Liang Yue understood this.

The effect of calligraphy itself would naturally not be so obvious, let alone in the short term. The changes it brought to him could only be attributed to the magical effects derived from the skill.

According to the system, this [Professional-level Regular Script Calligraphy] itself represents a branch of a sub-occupation.

Delving deeper, the meaning it conveys is even more like what the seven major professions in Diablo 2 display, a development system completely different from combat professions.

So, in the final analysis, this is a direct manifestation of a rule representing the system of calligrapher professions descending upon Liang Yue!

Although it doesn't produce much practical combat ability in itself, the meaning it represents is extraordinary!

Therefore, in view of this, Liang Yue is now beginning to show a strong interest in this [Professional-level Regular Script Calligraphy] and the previous [Erhu Specialization] skill.

He now insists on practicing every day and has gradually come to appreciate the wonderful aspects of it!

“Hey~ Have you heard! It seems like our international class is getting a new student!”

“Really? But isn’t our class already crowded enough? Some courses are almost impossible to schedule.”

“I heard it’s because our class achieved very good results last year, and the school wants to expand the scale.”

“Is it going to be divided into two classes?”

“Well, I’m not too sure about that.”

“If we must expand the scale, and there aren’t enough people in our class willing to drop out, then splitting the class is inevitable.”

“What, do you have an acquaintance who’s going to be recruited, Sam?”

After finishing lunch, Liang Yue and the others in this small group started wandering around the school.

After a while, each of them carried a cup of coffee or juice and strolled to the apartment Liang Yue rented near the school.

During the chat, Liang Yue heard about the news of their international class getting a new student for the first time.

As the initiator of the topic, Sam seemed particularly concerned about this.

“Ugh… probably, yeah. Yesterday, when I was chatting online with my former high school classmates, someone told me that a classmate would be coming to New York like me.”

“Transferring to our school?”

“Yes.”

“Is it the female classmate you once admired?”

“Uh…”

“What’s her name?”

“Well~ I guess so, but she probably didn’t notice me. Her name is… Michaela.”

Under the cooperation and questioning of everyone, Sam quickly couldn’t resist. In just a moment, he confessed all the information about the girl he once admired~

However, it was a bit of a pity that, due to Sam’s own personality limitations, emotional intelligence, and other issues, he obviously didn’t know enough about his crush.

The information he knew was limited to the fact that she was the hottest, sexiest, and most eye-catching presence in his former class.

Apart from that, he didn’t even know her family background.

Regarding these things, Liang Yue, as an outsider, knew more than him…
