Chapter 56: 28: Transcendent Profession (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Stay-at-Home Dream Dream Quickly Get Well)
In the morning, after Hexia got up, she sat in her room.
The 'Brilliance·Ruoleira H4-Blue' personal terminal Qiao Long had given her was spread out on the desk, her slender fingers dancing over the projected keyboard, blocks of light flickering as Hexia rapidly input information and searched for data on the Star Web.
'An Analysis of the Advancement Directions for the Withering Sequence.'
'On the Choice Among Several Mainstream Sequences.'
'A Comparison of the Advancement Numbers in Major Mainstream Sequences over the Last 20 Years by the Federation.'

Various thematic posts flashed before Hexia's eyes.
The Transcendent Sequence is a method that utilizes Aijeika particles to achieve transcendent effects; if the original Aijeika particles are compared to crude oil, then the Transcendent Sequence is like processing these basic particles into different types of magic power for use.
Crude oil doesn't only yield well-known products such as fuel, lubricating oil, and solvents, but also the primary materials for plastics. Additionally, what many people overlook is that a large amount of chemical fibers in the textile industry (like polyester, acrylic, and spandex) originate from petroleum, and familiar items such as pantyhose are made from these materials.
The same is true for Aijeika particles; after transformation by different Transcendent Sequences, they exhibit different properties, suitable for different fields.
Presently, the Federation's mainstream Transcendent Sequences are divided into nine types, namely, the Natural Sequence, Blood Pupil Sequence, Spirit Particle Sequence, Dragon Sequence, Radiant Feather Sequence, Withering Sequence, Tidal Sequence, Slashing Blade Sequence, and Primordial Sequence.
The properties of magic differ amongst the major Sequences; for example, the Dragon Sequence is commonly used in large machinery and warships, the Spirit Particle Sequence is often used in the AI control field, the Tidal Sequence is prevalent in energy systems, the Blood Pupil Sequence is employed in many weapon cores, and Radiant Feather specializes in protection and isolation, among others.
Each Sequence has its strengths, and it's not that one is necessarily stronger than the others. Moreover, the professions under the Transcendent Sequences are extremely diverse; it's not that the Natural Sequence can't fight, or that all of the Blood Pupil Sequence are extreme, and so on. The application of each Sequence ultimately depends on the individual, and the true differences among the major Sequences lie in the different beliefs they represent. Choosing a Sequence should also depend on whether it aligns with one's personality. Having a boorish and impatient individual learn the Spirit Particle Sequence would certainly be torture, but if they were to take up the Dragon Sequence, which is oriented towards instinct and physicality, it would be much easier.
What belief does the Withering Sequence embody?
Probably death, tranquility, calm, annihilation, and soul, to name a few. The Withering Sequence evolved from the ancient Necromancer Sequence. Ancient necromancers were adept at raising corpses, commanding lost souls, casting deadly curses, and concealing actions from afar, embodying a Transcendent Sequence filled with war, slaughter, and death. It flourished greatly during the Second Era of the Mercury Dynasty but declined gradually due to environmental changes, eventually being replaced by the Magic Sequence, followed by the collapse of the dynasty.
The Withering Sequence of today, modified at the end of the Fourth Era, discarded manipulating corpses and other parts that violated human ethics and induced horror, focusing instead more on the soul and mental realm. Also, because of the traditions left by ancient times, the transcendent beings of the Withering Sequence often also study anatomy; nearly half of the doctors in hospitals today are from professions within the Withering Sequence.
Well, death and life are always connected, aren't they?
This is also why Hexia was preparing to apply for Irene Academy in her second year of junior high, a school that specializes in medicine, has a pretty good reputation in the Northern Seventh District. Although it is not top-notch, finding a job after graduation would be much easier.
At 11 o'clock, Hexia turned off the screen and lay down on the bed again.
She found herself somewhat indecisive about which direction to progress, she thought quietly to herself.
The structure of Sequence 1 is incredibly simple; there's not much room for variety, so within the entire Federation, Sequence 1 doesn't differ much. It is only upon advancing to Sequence 2 that different professions lead to different abilities.
Transcendent professions are also graded; a profession in Sequence 5 with a Perfect Level evaluation is far stronger than one with an Excellent evaluation. In terms of combat strength, perhaps a Perfect Condensed Bead Rank could easily crush ten Excellent Condensed Bead Ranks.
Thinking this way, doesn't everyone pursue professions with high evaluations for advancement? That's not the case, because rare professions often demand more and are more difficult to achieve. Even with the popularization of advancement methods and theories, many people still cannot succeed, which highlights the importance of talent. Experience magic on m-vl-e-mpyr
Additionally, some companies offer special advancement models, meaning if you want to advance in such a profession, you need to pay a significant patent fee. Then the company that owns the patent will provide you with the related materials and theories and send a specialist to guide you with the assistance of spiritual medicines for your advancement.
The high-quality transcendent professions accessible to ordinary people often come from various academies and federal institutions, such as the military and official departments.
Hexia's advancement in the Withering Sequence 2: Dark Visit (Excellent Red Iron Level) originated from the federal database of professions open for public use. There are many like this; in fact, ordinary people could go through their lives without touching those rare and expensive patented professions since the Federation's public database contains a vast array of profession models. Many academies and universities also open their special internal documents and resources to their students, which is essentially a form of public service and one of the few good qualities passed down since the creation of the Federation.
The special profession advancement materials taught by Edith Academy to its students could sell for tens to hundreds of millions outside by companies, and that doesn't even guarantee success. Within the school, as long as you perform well, you can obtain them for free.
For all these reasons, middle school students in the Federation place great importance on the high schools they attend, as this can essentially determine a person's fate. Moreover, within the Federation, over 98% of all jobs only require a high school diploma, with a very few actually pursuing university studies. Furthermore, the university tuition fees are unaffordable for ordinary people, averaging 300,000 to 600,000 Federation Coins per person per year. Many people spend over a decade working after graduation to repay their student loans.
In this era, making money is very important, but it must also be acknowledged that because it is so important, morality often faces many trials, and the human heart may no longer be pure.
After setting aside her personal terminal, Hexia slept for a while, and it wasn't until noon, after eating at home, that she started to prepare to go out.
What to wear? Just before heading out, Hexia opened her wardrobe. Actually, she didn't have many clothes, several of which were school uniforms, and the newest was a maid outfit from 'Dream of Glazed Glass', which was made of good materials and was very delicate, but not suitable for wearing outside of work.
Still, she chose this one, a dress with a mix of black and blue, which, in comparison to her other regular clothes, was the only one that wasn't too formal and had a nice style.
The dress, a gift from her father for her birthday more than a year ago, made her very happy, but sadly, not long after, her father disappeared.
After putting on the black-based dress with a slightly fitted waist and blue ruffled trim, Hexia looked at her reflection in the mirror for a moment. She then tied the hair at the back of her head with a simple dark blue headband, leaving two strands in the front to add a youthful touch, before finally leaving the house.
