After accepting the quest, Su Ce quickly left the Class Temple, which was already closed.
He began to think about how to complete this class advancement quest.
Wind, fire, water, earth…
I should have enough fire materials. When I went to the mine, a lot of fire materials came out along with the magma.
I should have enough water materials too. The pirates at the Cape of Storms provided a lot of them.
While looking through his inventory, Su Ce was planning his next move. I don't have wind and earth materials, and I can't buy them now. Do I really have to farm monsters to obtain them?
After considering that the speed of farming monsters and obtaining materials was too slow, he immediately dropped this idea.
At the same time, it was unrealistic to stay in Bo'an City and wait for merchants to replenish their stock of materials.
Who knew when these people would be able to replenish them.
Furthermore, it was just some missing elemental materials. These things didn't have a wide range of applications, so even if they were out of stock for a few months, it wouldn't affect their businesses.
So this method was completely unreliable.
Just as he was frowning and thinking about how to finish this quest, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his eyes lit up.
He would borrow these materials from Dean Huo Shan.
After all, even though the old man wanted to repair the barrier, he shouldn't be able to use up all the materials. There would definitely be some left.
But this plan only appeared in his mind for a moment before he rejected it.
This method definitely won't work. That Rank 4 Professional named Zhou Chengtian is still investigating the issue of the barrier shattering. If I borrow the materials at this time, won't I be running into his line of sight?
After thinking for a long time, Su Ce felt that the only feasible thing now was to buy the materials in another city or farm them.
This way, he could complete the class advancement quest faster. After all, the network of the Class Temples in various cities in the country was interconnected.
Such an important institution was always in the hands of the government.
As long as he could complete the quest, he could also advance classes in other cities.
Moreover, he could lie low this way.
Staying in the same city as that Rank 4 big shot made Su Ce feel uneasy.
After making up his mind, Su Ce planned to leave Bo'an City overnight.
He first bought some outdoor equipment in the commercial district, such as a portable stove, tent, compass, map, outdoor emergency lights, and other miscellaneous supplies.
At the same time, he bought some high-calorie food so that he would be able to maintain sufficient energy in the wilderness.
After doing all of this, he immediately returned to the hotel.
After two bulk purchases, his inventory was now filled to the brim.
After organizing everything, Su Ce planned to leave.
But a sense of grievance suddenly rose in his heart.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Su Ce comforted them helplessly. "Be good. When the situation is a little safer, I'll let you out."
The two little ones in this contract space settled down.
Actually, it wasn't their fault. Although the contract space was infinitely large and had enough room for the two little ones to scurry about, other than a piece of land, there were no other facilities. It looked like an unfinished 3D model.
The two little ones were still in their infancy, so it was normal for them to feel bored.
But the situation wasn't ordinary now, so he could only make them suffer for the time being.
Regarding this, Su Ce could only wait until tomorrow to compensate them with some beast meat.
He went downstairs and checked out.
After leaving the four-star hotel, Su Ce immediately took a taxi and rushed outside Bo'an City.
His destination was Boulder City, which was about 300 kilometers away from Bo'an City.
The terrain there was complex. Karst caves were everywhere, and the earth element was very rich.
He should be able to collect all the earth materials before entering Boulder City.
After that, he would spend some money to buy the remaining wind materials and complete the class advancement to become a Rank 2 Professional, stepping into the realm of experts.
…
Ten o'clock at night…
The taxi was still speeding down the road.
This was a national highway, and vehicles would pass by occasionally.
The scenery outside the car window changed from a steel forest and a bustling city to a dark and desolate grassland. Occasionally, he could see a single-story house passing by.
In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man in a checkered shirt with slightly thinning hair said in boredom, "Little brother, it's already so late. Are you planning to go out of town?"
Looking at the rapidly moving darkness outside the window, Su Ce subconsciously said, "Yes, I plan to go out for a walk and expand my horizons."
"That's pretty good. Go out and explore while you're still young. But it's very dangerous outside, and only combat Professionals can wander around. Life classes like us can only stay in the city peacefully."
Hearing what the driver said, Su Ce felt a little emotional.
This was how society was nowadays. It was all about strength.
If people weren't strong enough, they could only be limited in every aspect. Even if they were wronged, they could only endure it.
Life classes had a way to climb upward, but ordinary people could only struggle at the bottom. If they wanted to live well, they could only do their best.
In contrast, combat Professionals lived in ivory towers. They didn't need to run around for a living and didn't need to experience those sufferings.
Su Ce had always been clear about this.
Even though he had become a Professional and awakened a rare class, he still didn't dare to be negligent.
He was rushing around non-stop.
The night sky outside the window became even darker, and specks of light glittered in the sky.
In the taxi, the smell of gasoline and leather rushed into his nose, allowing Su Ce to re-experience the hardships of an ordinary person for a short time.
After thinking for a while, he immediately took out his phone. I wonder how Sis is doing. I'll send her a message.
The content of the message was not long. First, it briefly explained his recent situation, and then it explained that he was about to travel outside Bo'an City.
Lastly, he reminded his sister to take care of her health as usual and not to work overtime if it was too late.
Not long after sending the message, Su Ce received a reply.
Similarly, the message sent by his sister was brief.
She just told him to be careful and not to show off in front of outsiders.
In his mind, Su Ce could picture his sister saying these things to him and was caught between tears and laughter. Sis, I'm not a three-year-old child. I've always been very steady.
"Little brother, we're here. Not far ahead is the outside of the city."
"Okay, thank you. I'll scan the QR code to pay."
After paying, Su Ce immediately walked toward the magnificent city gates not far away.
After a few minutes of routine inspection, he immediately left Bo'an City.
On the school's side, Su Ce applied for leave. He didn't even need to explain the reason, and Dean Huo Shan approved his request.
