Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations-Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Three Basic Professions

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two days later, at noon, in the computer area of the library.

Amidst the crackling sounds, Li Chengqian finished typing a practice article.

Looking at the data displayed on the software, he smiled.

The input speed is 95 characters per minute, and the input accuracy rate is 99%.

This was also because this article was in English. If it was a Chinese character article, according to the speed of at least three keystrokes per word, Li Chengqian’s speed of inputting Chinese characters could only reach 30 words per minute.

This was also not taking into account the time wasted in choosing characters during the typing process. If the time taken to choose characters was included, Li Chengqian could enter at most 20 Chinese characters per minute.

Although this speed was not fast, it was already a huge improvement from before.

However, did Li Chengqian have his own advantage, which was that his accuracy rate was especially high. Basically, there wouldn’t be a situation where he entered wrongly.

“My input speed is still too slow.” However, input speed was different from knowledge. Knowledge could be acquired by upgrading Profession proficiency or Skill proficiency.

As for typing, he could only rely on constant practice.

While Li Chengqian was thinking, he switched to the homepage of the typing software.

He had already completed the standard finger training, and there were basically no mistakes in the keys.

What he needed to do now was to keep practicing to increase the input speed.

In the typing software, there was a special training game to increase the input speed.

“Train!” Li Chengqian opened the game that came with the typing software and looked at the various letters and symbols that kept falling from the top of the screen. He was completely focused.

Not far away, Bi Jialiang looked away from his screen. Teacher Tian Wenming had given him too much revision materials. Even though Bi Jialiang had already mastered all the basic knowledge, he didn’t look at it.

Even if he only reviewed the theory test questions, there were still the machine test questions, the Word document had more than 1,500 pages.

Bi Jialiang had been reading hard for two days, but he had only read 200 pages.

This was the result of skipping over the knowledge he had already grasped. If he had read everything in order, he would only have read 100 pages for the past two days.

He stood up from his seat and stretched, his eyes looking toward where Li Chengqian was.

When he saw that Li Chengqian was fully focused on playing a game, Bi Jialiang shook his head in disappointment.

When he found out that Li Chengqian scored full marks in the theory exam, Bi Jialiang felt that Li Chengqian was a formidable opponent.

However, after two days of further understanding, Bi Jialiang felt that he was overthinking.

He had been going to the library the past two days, during noon time and after school. He would bump into Li Chengqian each time.

Yesterday, he saw that Li Chengqian was practicing the most basic finger typing technique. His posture was clumsy and his speed was extremely slow. One look and anyone could tell that he was a beginner in computing.

Today, he heard Li Chengqian typing furiously on the keyboard. Bi Jialiang was curious.

Now he knew that Li Chengqian was playing games!

And an extremely boring game at that.

Although red crosses kept flashing on the screen, looking at Li Chengqian, he was clearly engrossed in it.

“His foundation is too poor. To think that he is so engrossed in a game that even a child can play.” Bi Jialiang despised him from the bottom of his heart. However, this also showed that the problem was that Li Chengqian’s computing foundation was simply too poor.

What Bi Jialiang despised the most was that from the first day Li Chengqian went to the library to use the computer, he had never seen Li Chengqian use the computer to revise or to write a program.

Li Chengqian had never even brought along the USB drive given by Teacher Tian Wenming.

As he was tired, Bi Jialiang went outside for a walk.

Ten minutes later, he came back in and took a look at Li Chengqian. 𝙛𝒓𝙚e𝚠𝐞𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝗲𝚕. c𝚘𝓶

Then, he realized that Li Chengqian’s posture hadn’t changed. He was still playing that childish typing game.

Li Chengqian looked like an internet addict, one of those kids who was addicted to online gaming. All his energy was focused on the computer screen.

Bi Jialiang shook his head. “There are only eight days left until the preliminary round!”

“It’s fine if Li Chengqian doesn’t revise, but he’s actually obsessed with a game.”

“If he goes on like this, he will be real trash.”

“I will definitely defeat Li Chengqian in the upcoming Junior Informatics Programming Competition!”

“I want to prove to everyone that he, Li Chengqian, is inferior to me, Bi Jialiang!”

Li Chengqian was blissfully ignorant of Bi Jialiang’s feelings. Half an hour later, he glanced at the time and found that there were only 10 minutes left before class started. He reluctantly turned off the computer. He definitely wouldn’t eat into class time as that meant experience value points!

For half an hour, he suppressed the discomfort, deliberately kept his eyes on the screen and didn’t look down at the keys on the keyboard.

It was especially painful in the beginning as he wasn’t used to it.

The accuracy of the input decreased instantly to less than 30%.

After 20 minutes, he gradually got used to this feeling.

What followed was an increase in input accuracy. By the time he closed the typing game, his input accuracy had reached 98%.

The input speed in English had also increased, reaching 135 characters per minute.

The input speed of Chinese characters also reached 32 words per minute.

He made quick progress!

Li Chengqian glanced at the time. He stretched and walked out of the library without any hesitation.

In the past two days, he had used his Skills to focus and think rationally. He had read the books on logic, CPU instruction set, 30-day homemade operating system, and the principles of the linux operating system.

...

Under the effect of the Skill, Li Chengqian had already digested these books thoroughly and had already fused the knowledge in the books into his own knowledge system.

Because of the accumulation of his own knowledge, Chengqian formed a thought, a strong desire in his heart.

He wanted to write a program himself to verify what he had learned.

“When I’m done with the input practice, I’ll start writing a program! I’ll practice by writing an operating system program!” He had read a book the day before, it was titled 30 Days of Homemade Operating System. Then, he realized that the operating system was not as complicated as he had imagined.

“In the Master of All Professions game, the Agility Stats can increase the speed of one’s attacks and also increase the range of one’s vision.” According to his experience in his previous life, every level upgrade of a basic Profession would bring about an increase in one’s Agility Stats.

Moreover, among the skills of the Worker profession, there was also a skill that increased hand speed.

“The Worker profession is one of the three basic professions. He definitely has to take up this profession, but not now.” The three basic professions were Student, Farmer, and Worker.

Students upgraded to increase Intelligence Stats, Farmers upgraded to increase Strength Stats, and Workers upgraded to increase Agility Stats.

“After school this afternoon, I’ll be able to obtain enough experience value points to take up the Farmer profession.” Li Chengqian had a smile on his face as he looked at the value in the Experience Pool.

Because it was a Saturday, there was a break in the afternoon. They did not go to the evening self-study session until Sunday night.

With a whole day of free time, Li Chengqian planned to find a piece of land to test the effects of the Farmer profession. In the Master of All Professions game, the abilities of the Farmer profession were actually very powerful.
