The Six Paths correspond to the professions of Energy Conversion, Blade and Weaponry, Physique or Strength Mech Warrior, Ranged Combat, Mechanist or Alchemist, and Qi Cultivator.
In the small notebook, there were many scattered, messy notes about the Qi Path, which should be Ludy's notes from his cultivation.
"So Ludy cultivates the Qi Path. He looks like a slacker, but he's actually a Qi Cultivator? And a Qi Cultivator who likes to use guns."
"If that's the case, and I cultivate the Qi Path, he should be able to give me some substantial help. It would be even better if he could give me an internal energy infusion."
"The professional definitions of wasteland Transcendent beings are not so rigid. They usually develop ways to use power across fields or in special ways."
"For example, attaching Mind Qi to bullets, firing hybrid bullets with Dark Energy + Nianqi impact, or even adding elemental energy from Shaping, and the Weapon Path is similar."
Lu Luo did not jump to conclusions at this time. He continued to flip through the cultivation methods in the manual and found that no matter which of the Six Paths, the most basic things were the same.
That is to perceive Dark Energy, embrace Dark Energy, and absorb Dark Energy. The difference between the Six Paths is only in their self-strengthening direction and energy usage methods.
It can be said that in the wasteland, Dark Energy is the energy source of all Transcendent beings. Transcendent beings, whether for advancement or combat, cannot do without Dark Energy.
Although the invasion of Dark Energy caused huge casualties and various biological mutations, leading to the emergence of Xenomorph , it was precisely because of the appearance of Dark Energy that humans gained Transcendent beings.
How to perceive Dark Energy is the first step to becoming a Transcendent being.
Thus, Lu Luo began to carefully read the content about how to perceive Dark Energy. First, one must dive into the world of consciousness, find one's consciousness perception tendrils, and then there were many other steps.
However, just as Lu Luo was about to try it, the Observer gave another prompt.
"Since you already have me, why are you doing such a foolish thing? Am I not good enough, or have you found a new love! Do you think consciousness perception tendrils are stronger than the Observer?"
"The Observer can not only perceive Dark Energy but also any kind of energy. If the Observer is compared to a giant, then your consciousness perception tendrils are like ants."
"As a noble S-11 Observer, I despise this behavior of yours."
"Uh, is that so? But I feel like I also need to master some energy perception methods. What if you go into dormancy?"
"It seems you still don't understand the meaning of the Talent Sequence. Then I can only give you a detailed introduction."
"Every Talent Sequence is formed based on the host's own self. Even similar serial numbers of Talent Sequences may have different manifestations in each different host."
"To put it bluntly, the S11 Observer Sequence is an extension of all your observational power."
"It is the sum of your vision, smell, taste, hearing, touch, perception, conscious cognition, objective cognition, knowledge cognition, and various other senses like the sixth sense."
"The stronger the sum of all your perceptual abilities, the stronger Sequence S-11 - Observer becomes."
"Conversely, the current you makes me seem very weak."
"Soga!"
Lu Luo suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, but he still didn't quite understand why the Observer spoke so meanly and always liked to be sarcastic.
"First, I must tell you that I exist based on you. It's not me who likes to be sarcastic. As for who it is? I won't say more; those who know, know!"
"Nonsense, I am never sarcastic."
Since there was no need to consider the issue of energy perception, he would directly get to the point: which path should he choose to cultivate.
Lu Luo was a pragmatic person. Since Ludy cultivated the Qi Path, then as someone who latches onto powerful figures, he should naturally also cultivate the Qi Path.
In this way, he would have a free, high-level mentor, which should be very beneficial for his future cultivation. He looked at the Six Paths manual.
"The Qi Path is to introduce Dark Energy into the body and then transform it into a pure power called Qi. Whether it's Nianqi, Douqi, or Neiqi, they can all be called Qi."
"Qi can both amplify moves and strengthen the body, making it a path of moderation."
"The cultivation of the Qi Path relies on Qi transformed from Dark Energy, gathering at a single point to form Qi Apertures. The more Qi Apertures, the stronger the essence of life."
This Qi Path looks really good; it should belong to the type of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
"Don't look at it; you can't learn it."
Lu Luo immediately became indignant. He had just killed a high-level Tier 2 elite Abnormality, the future hope of the wasteland. How could you look down on people like that?
"Why can't I learn it?"
"Comprehensive evaluation 2: Completely lacking the cultivation aptitude to become a Transcendent being, like a piece of trash."
Lu Luo's expression immediately became a bit awkward. Why did such a good S-rank sequence like to expose people's shortcomings!
"Your advancement method requires the collaborative deduction and integration of Sequence S-02 Devourer, S-04 Integrator, and S-11 Observer to arrive at the optimal conclusion."
"So, hurry up and read the book. The sooner you finish reading, the faster your advancement cultivation method will be developed."
"Is that so!"
Lu Luo received the prompt and, using the only hanging lamp on the rooftop, began to read the book seriously.
This so-called serious reading was not the kind that required reading comprehension. Lu Luo only needed to open the book and carefully look through the contents of the notebook with his eyes; the Observer would record all the information.
Although the small notebook was not large, it was quite thick, and the words inside were very small, seemingly for easy portability.
The content inside was very practical, detailing the advancement methods of the Six Paths and Six Harmonies. Lu Luo treated it as a popular science book. After seeing the content in this notebook, he finally had a clear understanding of the Transcendent system and ranks.
The wasteland world is said to have myriad professions, but there are only a few truly mainstream major systems.
Unarmed close combat, mech or exoskeleton close combat, ranged combat, psionic, and qi. Many Transcendent beings are a mix of multiple systems and professions.
For example, Ludy himself, although he is a master of the Qi Harmony Path, his ability to use firearms is also very strong, so strong that many people consider Ludy himself to be a Cannoneer.
The ranks of Transcendent beings were determined during the Dark Energy invasion, totaling 9 ranks.
However, the notebook stated that the strongest human had only reached Tier 7. As for why it was set at 9 tiers, it was because many powerful Abnormalities were far stronger than Tier 7 humans, and humans could only survive by relying on high walls, so they were Tier 8.
As for Tier 9, it was a power tier specifically designated for one special Abnormality, because the gap between this Abnormality and other Tier 8 Abnormalities was too great.
This gap was so significant that the same tier simply couldn't accommodate it, so they had to create a separate Tier 9.
That is the sky-curtain behemoth, Leviathan, which constantly flies in the perpetually overcast clouds.
Leviathan is a giant whale flying in the sky. It is said to be tens of thousands of meters long, like a moving sky curtain, hence it is called the Sky-Curtain Behemoth.
As for how something so large flies, no one knows. Fortunately, although this Abnormality has appeared many times, it has never shown any aggressive behavior towards humans.
Its attitude towards humans is almost like a mascot. Whenever the wasteland sky clears, Leviathan will show its face, astonishing everyone.
Seeing this, Lu Luo also analyzed his own strength level.
"If I round up, I should be Tier 2 now. I wonder what level Ludy is at now."
"The host is dreaming again. You haven't even entered the door, so what kind of Tier 2 are you talking about?"
Lu Luo read the book very carefully, and this process did not end until 6 AM the next morning, and he had only read one-third of the entire small notebook. .
Looking at the faintly brightening sky, Lu Luo knew he couldn't continue staying there. After a whole day of running around yesterday, Zhou Kai and Gu Fangyi must be hungry.
Even he himself needed some rest. Although his physique was high, if he didn't live a bit more moderately, it would still be deadly.
Finding a bag, he packed his knife and gun, then Lu Luo went downstairs, spent 2 yuan to buy breakfast for three people, and then went to Gu Fangyi's ward.
"Come on, time to eat!"
Although Gu Fangyi was wrapped in many bandages, he was already awake at this time. It seemed that the medical level of this hospital was good, and he wondered if Ludy had specifically arranged it.
The three of them silently ate their breakfast, but when they all reached for a cereal bar at the same time, they all laughed.
"What do we do now?" Zhou Kai asked first.
"I'm not sure either; ask Lu Luo."
Lu Luo spoke directly and to the point.
"Blue Sky Biotechnology's power is no joke. Although Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals is only its outermost group, things like Abnormality mutations are not small matters."
"We have completely fallen out with Blue Sky Biotechnology, and we need a backer. Therefore, I have decided to join the Hunters."
Gu Fangyi and Zhou Kai frowned deeply. Lu Luo's decision… was absolutely correct.
"Brother Luo, I think you made the right decision. Can you tell me how to join the Hunters now? Waiting online, it's urgent."
Zhou Kai's eyes gleamed with hope, but it was quickly extinguished by Lu Luo's ruthlessness.
"I don't know. I got a direct recommendation."
Jealousy made Zhou Kai and Gu Fangyi undergo plasmolysis!
"Scram! Get lost!"
