Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

Soaring Dragon Empire, Cloud River Province, River Sun City.

River Sun City First High School will hold its career transition ceremony today.

Thousands of senior high school students are about to officially enter their professional careers.

The formation used for the ceremony has already been set up. In the center of the formation stands a cylindrical pillar that is about ten meters tall, emitting a faint white light.

Over a thousand senior high school students stand on the square, their emotions ranging from excitement to unease, and some feeling indifferent, ready to slack off.

Chen Yu gazes at the mysterious, ancient, and majestic career transition formation, filled with anticipation.

Having transmigrated for sixteen years, he has gained some understanding of this world.

Before the distant ages, this world already possessed technological advancements far surpassing Earth in his previous life.

However, just as humanity was preparing to step into the interstellar era, the game world descended and assimilated the entire Blue Star.

After turning sixteen, people can undergo career transition and obtain a professional attribute panel.

By killing monsters, completing quests, and clearing dungeons, they can gain experience points and level up.

Powerful professionals can do anything, from flying in the sky to moving mountains and filling seas. They can even control the power to slaughter gods, changing the world with a wave of their hand.

Of course, the arrival of the game world did not only bring benefits, but also gave humanity the opportunity to become Transcendent Saints.

Along with the game's arrival came gods, demons, endless hordes of monsters, and players from other civilized worlds, all coveting the bountiful flesh of the Blue Star.

Countless predecessors fought bloody battles to carve out a space for humanity in this new world.

On the square, an old man with white hair steps forward, causing a stir among the students as they cast admiring gazes at him.

The old man is Jiang Tianming, the principal of River Sun City First High School. He is also a Level 200 fourth-stage professional elemental mage, rumored to have directly killed demons from hell.

Jiang Tianming presses his hands down and slowly begins to speak, his voice gentle yet commanding.

"Dear students, I believe there is no need for me to say much at this moment."

"What you should have learned, you have already learned in the past four years. The path ahead requires you to walk it yourselves."

"Whether it is a glorious life or a wasted one, it is your own choice."

"I declare that the career transition ceremony is officially beginning!"

After speaking, Jiang Tianming departs.

Five formation mages, each at least Level 100, step forward and evenly occupy the five corners of the career transition formation, forming a pentagram.

In an instant, the career transition formation radiates a brilliant light.

The teachers leading each class, with solemn expressions, guide their students towards the career transition formation.

Chen Yu remains silent as he walks among the crowd, feeling not only excitement but also a hint of nervousness.

In this world, career transition is much more important than the college entrance examination in his previous life.

It is not an exaggeration to say that career transition determines one's entire life.

Career transition cannot fail, but professionals are generally divided into two categories: combat and non-combat.

Combat professionals make up about 10% and are the backbone of the Blue Star's human population.

Non-combat professionals make up 90% and require a significant investment in the early stages to achieve success in the late stages.

If one successfully transitions into a non-combat profession, those without a wealthy background can only fade into the crowd and waste their lives.

Chen Yu's family conditions after transmigrating are not very good. His parents died early due to adventuring.

His sister has some strength, but she is still in university, and the specifics are unknown.

The remaining assets in the family are not enough to support him becoming a powerful non-combat professional.

"Old Chen, what are you thinking? Are you afraid of transitioning into a successful non-combat profession with your grades?"

An optimistic and cheerful voice comes from behind Chen Yu.

The speaker is named Li Wei, a sociable character and one of Chen Yu's few friends.

"You know, grades and career transition don't have much correlation." Chen Yu smiles bitterly and shakes his head.

Indeed, after transmigrating, Chen Yu relied on his adult mentality and exceptional perseverance to achieve excellent academic results, often ranking first in his grade.

However, the type of profession one transitions into has little to do with academic performance.

There are many top students who transition into non-combat professions.

"Yes, yes, yes. But I feel that your worries are unnecessary. Looking at the history of our school, less than half of the top ten students in each grade transition into non-combat professions, right?" Li Wei says with a playful smile.

"This is true."

Chen Yu smiled and felt slightly calmer.

Indeed, among the high schools he attended, the probability of top students transferring to combat professions was higher than one in ten.

However, there is one point that needs to be clarified.

This situation is not due to academic performance.

One High School itself is the best high school in River Sun City.

Most influential families will send their descendants to One High School.

And in a small city like River Sun City, the proportion of combat professionals who hold power and wealth is much higher than that of lifestyle professionals.

There is a certain correlation between occupational adaptability and genetics.

In other words, if both parents are combat professionals, the probability of their children transferring to combat professions will be higher.

This influence is not absolute, but it does exist.

"In this lifetime, all my relatives are combat professionals, so it seems that my probability of transferring to a combat profession will also be higher."

Chen Yu felt that as a transmigrator, he couldn't be so unlucky as to transfer to a lifestyle profession, right?

It's not that lifestyle professions are bad, but they require a lot of money. People from ordinary families find it difficult to achieve anything without a large amount of initial resources.

"The activation of the transfer formation is successful. Students whose names I call, please come forward and touch the Pillar of Origin to complete the transfer."

Jiang Tianming's voice rang out again.

"Number one, Song Huirui."

Upon hearing Jiang Tianming call out the name, a young boy stood up from the first row on the right and walked towards the transfer formation.

The students who were close could clearly see that Song Huirui's hands and feet were trembling slightly, indicating extreme nervousness.

The distance between them was only a little over ten meters, and no matter how nervous he was, he couldn't delay adjusting his mindset for much longer.

So, Song Huirui closed his eyes, made up his mind, and quickly ran to the side of the Pillar of Origin, pressing his hand against it.

A white light enveloped Song Huirui on the Pillar of Origin.

A few seconds later, his attribute panel was generated.

[Profession: Warrior]

"Hahaha! I did it! I'm a combat professional!"

Song Huirui laughed wildly, just like Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

As the first transfer student, he was under tremendous pressure under the gaze of the crowd.

"Song, you can go down now and don't affect other students' transfers." A teacher maintaining order patted Song Huirui's shoulder with a smile.

Obviously, this kind of situation was common during the transfer ceremony, and the teachers had a lot of experience in dealing with it.

Whether the students who successfully transferred were happy or sad, it could be understood.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Song Huirui came back to his senses and quickly ran back to his class.

"Congratulations, Principal Jiang, a great start!" A formation master arched his hand towards Jiang Tianming and said with a smile.

"All professionals are the same. It's not considered a great start. It's not like it's a hidden profession." Jiang Tianming shook his head, but the smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his joy.

Both combat professions and lifestyle professions can succeed.

But combat professions rely much less on resources in the early stages, so the probability of success is much higher for students from ordinary families compared to lifestyle professions.

Even in a world where everyone transfers professions, the majority of families are still ordinary, so how many lifestyle professionals can obtain sufficient resources in the early stages?

Therefore, most students who transfer to lifestyle professions are almost sentenced to death.

"Warrior? It's a common thing, I thought it was a hidden profession. You're so happy." Some students in the audience were full of envy and whispered.

"Hehe, not good enough? Warriors may be common, but they are still combat professions. Can you guarantee that you will transfer to a combat profession?" Someone immediately retorted.

"This..." The person was immediately speechless.

Indeed, warriors may be common, but they are still combat professions, a one in ten existence!

As long as they don't die prematurely, they will definitely achieve something.

"Next, Lei Gaojun." Principal Jiang Tianming ignored the students' discussions and continued calling names.
