#7 - Chapter 7 Career Space

“Another group of small fries has come in. I feel like more and more people are awakening combat classes lately. I've seen quite a few just today!”

“Tell me about it! I just saw a whole bunch of people ganging up on the rabbits in the Level 1 monster area. Those rabbits were in a sorry state.”

“Haha, weren't we like that back in the day? I really miss the boundless energy of youth!”

Shen Xingyan, clad in a shimmering outfit, observed the street bustling with people in all sorts of bizarre gear. It was clear they were all members of the human race who had experienced combat, each exuding a fierce aura.

Combat classes, considered rare in the outside world, were commonplace in this small village. This stark contrast made Shen Xingyan feel like a country bumpkin visiting the big city, his eyes wide with wonder!

The street was filled with the shouts of vendors hawking their wares, the calls of people forming teams, and all sorts of chatter, creating a lively atmosphere.

“Is this what people should normally be like when there's no external pressure? It feels so relaxed!” Shen Xingyan couldn't help but sigh.

Back in the outside world, they were constantly at risk of being attacked by disasters, so people spent most of their time in heavily fortified rooms, finding a sense of security there, except for training and going out to buy necessities.

Such scenes were only occasionally seen in the central district and its surrounding areas, but the atmosphere was never as relaxed and pleasant.

Shen Xingyan thought, 'No wonder those who have awakened classes like to stay here all day. Firstly, it's a place where they can level up and earn the money they need to improve their strength in the real world.'

'Secondly, it's probably the relaxed atmosphere that allows them to temporarily forget the ever-present pressure from the outside world.'

Gently shaking his head, Shen Xingyan checked his inventory.

With a thought, a thirty-six-slot inventory appeared before him, the empty spaces making it seem particularly desolate.

Only the first three slots contained the essential starter items given by Star Origin World: a pair of coarse cloth pants, a linen shirt, and a hoe.

Item: Coarse Linen Pants

Attribute: No level requirement, no attribute bonus, no durability limit, provides basic warmth, essential pants for novice farmers.

Item: Coarse Linen Shirt

Attribute: No level requirement, no attribute bonus, no durability limit, provides basic warmth, essential shirt for novice farmers.

Item: Hoe

Attribute: Physical Attack +1

No level requirement, no durability limit, essential tool for farmers.

Looking at the stats of this starter set, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile wryly. The stats were a far cry from what he had read in books, truly deserving of the title 'essential starter equipment'.

All he needed now was a straw hat, and his farmer image would be complete.

However, Shen Xingyan also noticed one good thing about the starter equipment: the lack of a durability limit. As long as he kept wearing this outfit, he wouldn't have to go to the tailor or blacksmith to repair durability, saving him a lot of money.

After looking at the equipment, Shen Xingyan turned his attention to the lower right corner of the inventory, the magical wallet that could be used for normal transactions in the real world.

It currently displayed '10 Copper Coins', which was also one of the basic provisions given to new players by Star Origin.

After all, engaging in class activities in Star Origin World consumed stamina, and this money allowed newbies with no financial foundation to buy food to replenish their stamina when they were exhausted.

Preventing their stamina from falling below 3 points, thus entering a weakened state.

The slots for Silver Coins and Gold Coins naturally displayed large, bolded, and colorful '0's, as if mocking Shen Xingyan, making him want to eliminate them.

Through his extensive research at school, Shen Xingyan knew that the exchange rate between Gold Coins, Silver Coins, and Copper Coins was 1:1000.

According to what was taught at school, the value of 1 Copper Coin should be equivalent to 10 cents before the Origin Energy outbreak.

So these 10 Copper Coins were equivalent to 1 yuan from before. By extension, 1 Silver Coin was equivalent to 100 yuan, and 1 Gold Coin was quite a lot, equivalent to 100,000 yuan from before.

Shen Xingyan wanted to eliminate these '0's with his farmer class, but it was a long and arduous journey.

After checking these things, Shen Xingyan had a thought, and he appeared in his class space.

“Congratulations, you have entered the Farmer Class Space for the first time, reward: one bag of wheat seeds!”

As soon as he entered the class space, Shen Xingyan heard this notification. He subconsciously opened his inventory and saw that the wheat seeds, rewarded in the notification, had already appeared in the fourth slot.

With a thought, the attributes of the wheat seeds appeared before Shen Xingyan:

Item: Wheat Seeds

Attribute: Maturity period: 10 days, plantable area: 600 square meters.

Seeing the attributes of the seeds, Shen Xingyan had to admire that Star Origin World was quite considerate. It had considered almost all the items a newbie would need.

Now that he had been provided with clothes, tools, and seeds, all that was left was for him to get his hands dirty.

Although considerate, the value of these items was too low, making the Origin Energy World seem a bit stingy.

Shen Xingyan slightly shifted his gaze, surveying the space around him that belonged to him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of peace.

Every life class player has their own class space, which is a unique feature in the Star Origin World compared to combat class players.

Shen Xingyan and other life class players can gain class experience points by using class skills and harvesting their class products within the class space, in order to level up their class.

At the same time, the harvested class products can be sold to the Star Origin Mall or traded privately to obtain Star Origin's most important resource: money.

Combat classes do not have the class space feature. They only need to accept various quests and go to the wilderness or dungeons to kill monsters and level up, and obtain spoils.

Of course, the speed at which combat classes earn money is much faster than that of Shen Xingyan and other life classes. After all, plundering always yields greater rewards than creation!

Shen Xingyan looked at the small plot of land in the class space, estimating it to be about one mu in size. Although it didn't seem large, it was enough to keep him busy all day.

As the saying goes, 'With food in hand, one doesn't panic'. With this space, Shen Xingyan felt that he and his sister wouldn't have to go hungry in the future.
