Just like when I controlled Zhuge Liang to design the instance, the formation of a perfect instance is never something that happens overnight. It must go through countless versions of testing, nerfing, and patching before it can finally evolve into a well-organized, strictly regulated new world that increasingly aligns with the designers' vision!

The current professional system is the final patch that the Heavenly Will has explored after countless version changes, making it the most stable and easiest to control the upper limit of human power!

Having figured all this out, Zhou Huai felt a sudden sense of clarity, as the fog that had shrouded his mind was completely dispelled.

He looked directly at Chun.

"I see."

Zhou Huai said, "What you've said so much is simply to tell me that Mr. Duan is a monster from the old era who has broken free of these shackles. And for me to defeat him, I must stand on the same level as him!"

"So what? What are you planning to do? Do you have a way to directly remove the characteristics of a modern professional from me?"

Only by removing the restrictions of being a professional and no longer being bound by the system panel can one have the confidence to confront that old monster!

However, Chun gently shook her head in response to Zhou Huai's eager question.

"It's not removal."

She corrected Zhou Huai's statement, saying, "It's an upgrade."

"upgrade?"

Zhou Huai was taken aback, not understanding why.

Isn't the goal to break free of shackles? Why is it about leveling up? How is this different from the existing monster-slaying and leveling system?

Chun took a step forward, her green eyes fixed on Zhou Huai's eyes, trying to see through his soul.

"Young man, you are quick-witted, but you lack the most basic self-awareness."

Chun's voice became ethereal.

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly touching Zhou Huai's chest.

"You, from the very beginning..."

"They don't belong to the category of normal professionals!"

"Not falling into the category of normal professionals?"

These words, uttered by Chun, left Zhou Huai stunned on the spot.

He was taken aback.

He frowned.

Not considered a regular professional?

Zhou Huai had never considered this viewpoint.

Before meeting Mr. Duan and the ancient tree spirit before him, in his mind, he was just an ordinary, unlucky guy who had awakened the useless E-level clone master profession.

It was only because he was a transmigrator and possessed the cheat code called the God-level Avatar System that he was able to cheat his way through and have such a powerful foundation.

Without the existence of the God-level Avatar System, his ridiculously powerful SS-level and SSS-level avatars would be out of the question, and he himself would just be a cripple who couldn't even defeat ordinary alien beasts.

However, now, this woman, who has lived through eight eras and knows the origin of the world, tells him with certainty that his profession itself is problematic.

Zhou Huai felt his brain was a little slow to process what was happening; he was somewhat confused by what the woman was saying.

The amount of information contained in these few words is no less shocking than when Mr. Duan introduced the concept of the transcendent to me!

He held his breath, his brain starting to work frantically.

Upon closer examination, what the other person said does make some sense.

If I am really just an ordinary professional, just an insignificant ant among the masses.

So why did that system, which is so powerful that it can ignore the rules of the world and arbitrarily grant top-tier hidden professions to clones, appear in my body?

Is it really because of the so-called benefits for time travelers?

Or perhaps... in the end, there's a shocking secret about me that even I'm unaware of?

Zhou Huai's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

Having figured out the pros and cons, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and raised his head.

Look intently at the bud in front of me.

"Okay, I admit you have a point."

Zhou Huai looked at her and asked in a deep voice, "So what are you planning to do? How do you plan to make my abnormal body complete the so-called upgrade you mentioned?"

Chun did not answer immediately.

She smiled, raised her finger, and pointed to the emerald green lake beside them.

"It's very simple."

She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Lie down in the water."

Entering the water?

Zhou Huai glanced at the lake surface, which shimmered with green light and was shrouded in mist, and hesitated for a moment.

The life energy contained in this lake is indeed astonishingly vast, but who knows what unknown dangers lurk beneath?

What's more, this is the real thing!

If he were ambushed underwater, even if the Great Sage Li Er were incredibly powerful, he might not be able to save himself immediately!

Seeing the wariness in Zhou Huai's eyes, Chun laughed.

"What? Even now, you still don't trust me?"

Chun's slender waist swayed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness and helplessness, "You little rascal, you're far too suspicious."

Don't worry.

She stopped laughing and said seriously, "If I really wanted you to die, you would have died countless times since you stepped into the ruins of Simon City."

"Why would I go to all that trouble to lure you into this pool?"

Zhou Huai thought about it again.

That makes sense.

Facing Mr. Duan, who even the will of Heaven cannot do anything to, his current trump cards are simply not enough! He must find a way to become stronger quickly.

Since even the system was hinting that he should come to see her, and since he had already gone all out and come here in his true form.

Since we're already here!

Why don't we take a gamble?

"call--"

Zhou Huai mentally prepared himself and let out a breath.

He didn't say anything more, bypassed the Great Sage Li Er who was standing guard beside him, and walked towards the crystal-clear emerald green lake.

The moment the tip of his shoe touched the water's surface.

The expected chilling sensation of the underground river did not come.

When it comes into contact with the lake water, it feels extremely gentle.

The warm water enveloped his taut muscles and weary body.

This feeling is so comfortable.

Zhou Huai's heart relaxed.

The nerves that were originally under high tension due to constant vigilance against assassination and sudden changes were relieved.

With each step he took forward, he felt his body become more and more relaxed, greedily absorbing the rich life essence around him.

Unbeknownst to him, he had walked all the way to the depths of the lake.

He remained oblivious until the emerald green lake water reached his chest, still immersed in that rare tranquility.

"Okay, that's enough."

It ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) was Chun on the shore who spoke up, interrupting Zhou Huai's reverie.

"You'd better stay relaxed."

She stood on the shore, her green eyes fixed on Zhou Huai in the water, and said softly, "Don't resist it."

“I’m already very relaxed,” Zhou Huai said subconsciously.

He was telling the truth.

He even closed his eyes, looking completely at ease.

The water flowed, supporting his body, and the feeling of weightlessness intertwined with warmth.

He felt most relaxed and unguarded since he transmigrated to this world.

"What should I do next?"
