I never expected that on just the second day of this year, there would already be a graduate charging to Level 20 to undertake the class advancement quest.
A genius, or rather, a top genius!
Fan Yuer revealed an even more enchanting smile, as she took out another first-tier class advancement quest list and placed it on the windowsill.
"I didn't expect that my junior has such an exceptional talent, to have rushed to Level 20 so quickly. Your future is immeasurable."
While showing a warm smile, she silently memorized every bit of information from Zi Liyuan's form into her mind.
To work at an official institution naturally meant connections and backing were involved.
Discovering a talented individual undertaking class advancement was a natural opportunity to court or absorb into one's own circle. Investing in them during their weaker early stages was a common path taken by many major families.
If they were lucky enough to invest in someone who would become a Sea of Realms Lord, they would inevitably receive returns a hundred or even several hundred times their investment!
Even if he doesn't become a Sea of Realms Lord, merely becoming a strong figure within the Human Race would still yield substantial returns.
However, when Fan Yuer saw Necromancer written in the class column on Zi Liyuan's form, her friendly smile became a bit stiff, and at the same time, she had an epiphany.
A hidden class, it's normal for leveling up to be faster, but with professions related to death, the success rate tends to be a bit low, and it's uncertain if their family would see fit to invest in them early on.
Investing comes with risks, especially with professions related to death, since they are very prone to being targeted by the Evil God and eventually corrupted.
Zi Liyuan, of course, noticed the waiter's unnatural expression, but he didn't mind it.
After handing in his completed application form, he finally looked at the first-tier class advancement quest list.
At that glance, his expression immediately darkened.
The first-tier class advancement quests are divided into four levels: White Common, Green Fine, Blue Rare, and Silver Heroic.
For the Common level, pay 10,000 Dragon Coins, prepare 10 bottles of Common tier monster blood yourself, enter the class advancement hall, teleport into the single-player class advancement dungeon, pass the dungeon to awaken one third of the class's skill tree, and unlock the level cap.
For the Fine level, pay 100,000 Dragon Coins, prepare 10 bottles of Fine tier monster blood, awaken two thirds of the skill tree, and unlock the level cap.
For the Rare level, pay 1,000,000 Dragon Coins, prepare 10 bottles of Rare tier monster blood, awaken the full skill tree, and unlock the level cap.
For the Heroic level, pay 10,000,000 Dragon Coins, prepare 10 bottles of Heroic tier monster blood, awaken the full skill tree, and unlock the level cap, with additional benefits.
The class advancement is clearly priced, each tier following a decimal hierarchy, and most importantly, the material of Heroic level monster blood is priced at 1,000,000 Dragon Coins per bottle in the official store, and that's just for the lower grade common quality.
In essence, if Zi Liyuan wants to undertake the Heroic level class advancement quest, he will need to spend a total of 20,000,000 Dragon Coins, and that doesn't even guarantee success in the class advancement.
Because the higher the quality of the class advancement quest, the greater the difficulty, and the higher the chance of failure. If one fails, all the fees and materials will go to waste.
With such high material costs, one can only imagine how much lay careerists must spend to advance in class.
No wonder so many commoners are stuck at the class advancement quest, unable to advance for a long time.
While Zi Liyuan silently cursed the rip-off, he turned to look at the beautiful waitress.
"I choose to undertake the Silver Heroic first-tier quest."
"Hmm, a Rare class advancement quest is very fitting for a genius like you, I would think... huh?"
Fan Yuer nodded, ready to proceed with the operation, but then she stopped abruptly, looking bewildered and stammering uncertainly at Zi Liyuan.
(⊙o⊙)...
"Silver... Silver Heroic quest?"
"Yes, the Silver Heroic quest."
He nodded affirmatively, then took out his ID card and bank card and placed them on the windowsill.
"But, but are you sure you want to face a Heroic Boss directly? Are you sure you still want to choose it?"
"Certain!"

Having worked at the Job Change Hall for three years, I've seen hundreds of so-called geniuses who didn't believe in superstition and wanted to challenge the Silver Hero Quest; ninety-nine percent of them failed, and some even died in the job change instance.
Fan Yuer kindly hinted at the risks involved, but seeing Zi Liyuan remain unmoved, she had no choice but to approve his application.
She entered the information from his identity card into the computer, then charged his card 10 million Dragon Coins. She handed back the silver token along with the identity card and bank card to Zi Liyuan.
"Junior, take this token to Room 0, the designated transfer point for the Silver Hero Quest. I wish you a safe return upon completing the mission," she said.
Fan Yuer looked at Zi Liyuan with a complex expression, offered a reminder, and conveyed her blessings.
"Thank you."
Zi Liyuan nodded, took his belongings, and walked towards the corridor behind the hall.
Room 0 was empty except for a circular rune inscribed on the floor with some special silver material.
"Necromancer? I hadn't expected that the first one to dare challenge the hero class transfer instance this year would be someone with a hidden class," a voice said, echoing from all directions with a hint of surprise.
"Kid, pour 10 bottles of heroic monster blood onto the circular rune on the floor to activate the transfer circle for the hero class transfer instance," the voice instructed.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior," he said.
"Just a special note, the higher the quality of the heroic monster blood, the more difficult the instance will be, but the greater the rewards upon completion," the voice added.
Zi Liyuan thanked the voice again and then took out the blood of the heroic Goblin he had obtained from four hero BOSSes from his Spatial Backpack, pouring the blood from bottle to bottle onto the circular rune.
As the bright red blood dyed all the rune patterns, a red vortex suddenly appeared and instantly sucked in Zi Liyuan.
"Fuck! This kid actually used the blood of 10 hero BOSSes; is he asking to die?"
A figure abruptly appeared in the empty room, his face growing pale as he sensed the strong scent of blood and especially the wild energy permeating the room.
The quality of the heroic monsters' blood does make a difference!
How could the energy from regular heroic monsters compare to that of a BOSS?
He truly did not expect that this kid coming in would be able to produce 10 bottles of hero BOSS blood at once; it was absolutely insane!
The transfer instance space.
A platform the size of a soccer field, with a skull wearing a crown and adorned in a robe standing silently in the center.
[Necromancer (Lord Boss)]
[Level]: Level 21
[Attributes]: Magic Damage 1000, Physical Defense 100, Magic Resistance 150, Health 500,000, Magic Power 100,000.
[Skills]: Skeleton Summoning, Skeleton Domination, Clay Stone Demon, Stone Demon Domination, Bone Spear, Poison Explosion, Envenomed Dagger, Damage Amplification, Dark Insight, Weakening
[Combat Power]: 999
Zi Liyuan: (Ĭ^Ĭ)...
"A Lord as the BOSS for a hero class transfer quest, are you kidding me? It's too much of a pitfall!"
Zi Liyuan was startled by these attributes.
With 1000 Magic Damage, one Bone Spear from the opponent could probably deplete his 3000+ health, not to mention the plethora of skills!
"Luckily, the BOSS's info is visible in the class transfer instance...otherwise..."
Looking at the 150 Magic Resistance, Zi Liyuan's confidence in his squad of magical Skeletons capable of sweeping through instances crumbled.
With the paltry Magic Damage of those magical Skeletons, there's no way they could break through the BOSS's Magic Resistance.
So for this battle, it looks like I'll have to rely on the meat shield brigade!
