Northern Spiritual City, North City Gate.
It was already night time, and the sky had darkened.
Looking at the newcomers who were gradually returning, the captain of the City Guards, Lei Xing, muttered, "They're back so early. These people probably have no hope of entering the combat power rankings."
The combat strength ranking was a ranking that existed among the newcomers. Every class change would record their combat performance and evaluate their combat strength for a month.
Before reaching Level 10, the information of all class holders was confidential. Only their level and combat strength were displayed. The top 100 in the entire region could enter the rankings.
However, the level of a class holder basically determined whether you could enter the rankings. Even if a high-level class did not have any background, there would still be wealthy businessmen and families willing to support them.
The same equipment would be more valuable for high-level classes than for low-level classes. Therefore, it could be said that this was a list prepared for high-level classes.
Lei Xing's purpose was to select a few suitable seedlings to join the City Guards in the future, but it was obvious that the batch that had returned now was not.
Zhang Xuan, who was covered in blood, followed the other class holders to the city gate. Most of the class holders around him had low class levels and were not in good condition.
Even so, they still looked at Zhang Xuan with pity. Perhaps in their eyes, Zhang Xuan was already a dead man.
However, although Zhang Xuan looked miserable, not a single drop of blood on him was his own.
Zhang Xuan had returned very early, so there were not many people in line. The city gates had not yet opened, and every class holder who had returned needed to read their personal information to enter the city.
This was also out of safety considerations. In the past, monsters disguised as humans had infiltrated the city and caused great damage.
"Everyone, line up. Let me remind you first. The next time you leave the city will be tomorrow. Your combat information will also be recorded and calculated to generate combat strength. Have you thought it through clearly?"
A thunderous voice rang out. Zhang Xuan looked above the city gate. The intense pressure and the surrounding lightning could only be from the captain of the City Guards, Lei Xing.
Lei Xing was a Level 45 Rank 2 Elementalist, an A-rank class. All these years, the Heaven Vault Invasion had made him famous. It was said that he had even killed a Level 55 boss.
At this moment, the city gate opened, and a purple magic array slowly formed. A few guards also appeared beside the array.
The first class-holder girl walked in directly. The purple energy of the array covered her body. All the items she obtained were displayed immediately, and the combat strength assessment would only be displayed tomorrow.
The guard in charge of checking the array saw that there was nothing wrong with the array, so he made a gesture to the girl. The guards behind him also made way for her.
This process wasn't slow. Soon, it was Zhang Xuan's turn. As the only E-rank Warrior among all the returning class holders, Zhang Xuan also attracted the attention of the guards.
As Zhang Xuan entered the array, the guard's eyes instantly widened. He looked at the items in Zhang Xuan's backpack in disbelief.
Low-level monster materials were still acceptable, but what the h*ll were the boss materials?
However, this wasn't something he was worried about. It wasn't uncommon for E-rank Warriors to be used as transportation tools. Perhaps it was some S-rank class team that Zhang Xuan brought back.
After passing through, Zhang Xuan walked through the long tunnel. At this moment, the blood on his body slowly disappeared as if it had been absorbed by something.
The credit naturally came from the stone walls of the tunnel. The walls of the entire Northern Spiritual City were made of a type of stone that could suppress and absorb blood. The purpose was to prevent the smell of blood from attracting more monsters.
Empire Class Advancement Association.
It was already nighttime, but the Association was still bustling with people.
Zhang Xuan walked straight into the Association. After selling the materials in his backpack, his family would be able to get rid of poverty and become rich!
Because the Novice Protection Phase wouldn't display level information, Zhang Xuan's appearance attracted many mocking gazes, but he didn't care.
After entering the trading system, Zhang Xuan checked the corresponding price of each item in his backpack. Then, he placed them in batches according to the lowest price +1.
However, after placing all the normal materials, Zhang Xuan was in a dilemma. This was because his authority did not allow him to access the information related to the boss' materials.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully selling 20 Giant Pincer Scorpion Poison Sacs. As you are a Level 1 user, the exchange will take a 15% commission. 2,550 gold coins have been transferred to your account. Please check!]
He did not expect to sell a set of materials so quickly. The gold coins did not seem to be much, but it was almost a year's income for his parents.
It couldn't be helped. This was the situation of ordinary people who were protected.
Originally, he had wanted to buy himself a new weapon, but a random iron weapon cost 5,000 gold coins. In the end, he decided to go home first and sell the boss materials later.
When Zhang Xuan returned home, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. He had specially bought gifts for his parents, but when he pushed open the door, he smelled the smoke in the room and heard his mother's sobbing.
"We're finished!"
His parents probably found out about his career from someone else. He quickly went into the house and put down his things. Zhang Guo, who heard the voice, stood up.
When he saw Zhang Xuan, he was in a daze. Then, he hurriedly shouted, "The child's mother, Ah Xuan is back!"
The next moment, Wang Fen stumbled out of the room. When she saw Zhang Xuan, she went forward and hugged him, crying her heart out.
"We won't be class holders anymore. We'll just be ordinary people. Dad and Mom don't ask for a rich life. You just have to live well!"
"If we earn less, we can live comfortably in the future. You shouldn't go out, kid. Otherwise, your mother will be worried every day."
Zhang Xuan felt a little bitter when he heard his parents' pleading voices. As ordinary people, their pursuit was actually very simple.
However, it was precisely because of this that Zhang Xuan was even more determined to let the two of them live a comfortable life!
Ten minutes later.
Wang Fen looked at Zhang Xuan in disbelief. "Are you serious? But I heard many people, including Jiang Shuai, say that you're an E-rank Warrior."
"It's true. I'm not lying to you. I'm a B-rank Warrior. Although I can't be considered a high-level class holder, I'm not the worst, right? Jiang Shuai must have seen wrongly. He was sleeping when I changed classes!"
"If you don't believe me, look. This is the money I earned from selling the monster materials. Where would an E-rank Warrior go to kill so many monsters?"
Zhang Xuan took out nearly 10,000 gold coins from his backpack. During this period, he had sold all the other materials and directly transferred them to his personal account.
However, he had forgotten about Jiang Shuai. If he had told him beforehand, his parents wouldn't have been so upset.
Seeing so many gold coins being taken out by Zhang Xuan, Wang Fen and Zhang Guo were completely relieved. "That's good, that's good. Our son has grown up and knows how to be filial to his parents."
But as she spoke, Wang Fen couldn't help but cry again.
After explaining his resignation to his parents, Zhang Xuan returned to his room and dialed a phone number. He had to find a way to keep his career information confidential.
