Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 1217 - 669: Total Hunt, The Distinction of Existence

Su Yu triggered his hunting instinct, sensing for a brief moment before pursuing the fleeing cosmic Hunters.

Tracking skills are a must for any Hunter.

Even though a vast distance separated them, prior contact allowed Su Yu to detect the "existence" within those cosmic Hunters from far away.

Su Yu dashed through the ruins, guided by his instincts.

Within these ruins, spacetime distances were mere illusions, nothing substantial.

Thus, a mere thought propelled Su Yu across distances spanning countless universes, attaining unimaginable velocity.

However, the ruins stretched endlessly without bounds; no matter Su Yu's speed, the horizon always revealed more infinite desolation ahead.

This approach made catching the escaping Hunters impossible.

After some pursuit, Su Yu realized this chase would drag on forever.

He halted, pondered briefly, and suddenly understood.

"The spacetime distance in this place is illusory from the start—chasing like this serves no purpose."

"I need to switch tactics."

Su Yu mulled it over, then reactivated his hunting instinct.

This activation caused his figure to vanish in an instant.

The very next instant, he materialized directly before a cosmic Hunter, cutting off its escape route.

Startled, the cosmic Hunter tried to flee once more, yet Su Yu plunged straight into its "existence" and launched the hunt.

After an extended period, the Hunter vanished entirely, fully consumed by Su Yu, whose level surged dramatically.

"It really works..."

Su Yu had followed this cosmic Hunter not through illusory velocity, but via a novel use of "existence" theory.

Per Su Yu’s hypothesis, since the cosmic Hunters had encountered him earlier, his "existence" lingered in their minds.

Su Yu exploited that "existence" to teleport beside them abruptly, enabling the hunt regardless of infinite separations.

Su Yu had just devised this concept theoretically, yet a quick test proved it highly efficient for pursuing cosmic Hunters, simplifying the task immensely.

Cosmic Hunters treated "existence" simply as "food" or "nutrition" to maintain their being.

Their method of drawing out "existence" was purely instinctive "feeding."

In contrast, Su Yu harnessed his hunting instinct to wield "existence" like unique energy, unlocking fresh capabilities.

The gap between them was stark.

"I truly am the 'professional'..."

A faint smile crossed Su Yu’s lips as he vanished once more.

When he reemerged, another cosmic Hunter faced him head-on...

Thus, Su Yu systematically consumed all one hundred and seventy-eight cosmic Hunters.

Having absorbed every cosmic Hunter, Su Yu gazed at the now-sparser ruins before him, lost in contemplation.

These one hundred and seventy-eight cosmic Hunters struck him as rather "dim-witted"? They lacked true intelligence, clashing with their intimidating forms.

Cosmic Hunters looked mighty yet operated solely on instincts, like exceptionally fierce beasts or even "plants."

Against a ruthless predator like Su Yu, they stood no chance, mere prey to be culled.

Su Yu harbored no sentiments over their demise—just a pack of beasts.

[Obtained Professional Experience 100,000,000...]

[Professional Level Upgraded (999/1000), Hunting Instinct Enhanced in Sync]

Through consuming one hundred and seventy-eight cosmic Hunters, Su Yu elevated his new Existence Hunter profession to level 999, mere inches from the maximum of one thousand.

The Existence Hunter profession demanded an impressive ceiling of one thousand levels, with each upgrade requiring vast experience.

Su Yu neared the cap swiftly due to the "generosity" of those one hundred and seventy-eight cosmic Hunters, whose "existence" brimmed with immense potency.

Devouring them equated to ingesting countless universes—or precisely, one hundred and seventy-eight batches of such infinities.

Still, despite this massive "existence," Su Yu fell short of max level by that last step.

Actually, after the final ten cosmic Hunters, his level hit "998."

Yet those ten, packed with endless "existence," only boosted him by a single level.

This stemmed from diminishing returns on experience gains.

Were "existence" quantifiable in units, early on one unit yielded one experience point.

Toward the end, it took ten million units for a point, then hundreds of millions, billions, and beyond...

Moreover, upgrade requirements escalated sharply in later stages.

The ultimate level demanded one hundred billion experience.

These combined effects left Su Yu tantalizingly close, yet even one hundred and seventy-eight more cosmic Hunters wouldn’t suffice for that final one hundred billion.

This pinnacle level loomed as an elusive barrier.

Quite unexpected—was upgrading this profession truly so arduous?

Su Yu couldn’t tell for the moment.

Even endless universes devoured failed to max it out; relying on meditative cultivation would prove far tougher, practically impossible?

Yet then, faint prayers echoed in Su Yu’s mind, emanating from the primordial universe’s inhabitants.

Amid these prayers, Su Yu observed his hunting profession experience steadily climbing.

Though far slower than the explosive gains from cosmic Hunters, this influx persisted without faltering, accumulating gradually.

It stemmed from the primordial universe’s myriad beings, channeling "existence" to Su Yu via their "prayers."

This "existence" was weaker, yet it converted efficiently—one unit per experience point, without degradation.

Hence, this steady flow promised to eventually cap Su Yu’s level.

"Why is that?"

Su Yu pondered deeply, meticulously analyzing the "existence" from primordial prayers versus hunted "existence"—why the vast disparity in experience value?

Eventually, after gaining one million experience—covering one ten-thousandth of the final level—Su Yu pinpointed the distinction.

At last, clarity struck him.

"The 'existence' delivered by these beings' prayers carries... wisdom?"

"Evidently, 'existence' comes in varied qualities..."
