“No wonder common professionals always hit a bottleneck; a Second Order blue rare quest requires at least 4.00 million Dragon Coins,” he pondered. “That’s no small sum; it would take years to accumulate, to say nothing of the Third and Fourth Order quests.”

The exorbitant cost of profession advancement halted the progress of countless common professionals.

Many professionals, after wasting years of their lives, gave in to despair and gave up on pursuing their career path. Instead, they started to accumulate resources to cultivate the next generation.

It often took several generations’ worth of savings to cultivate a Third Order professional, which could then lead to becoming a small but decent family on Blue Star.

Unfair?

In a world of the survival of the fittest, weakness is the original sin.

With limited resources, those with talent were always prioritized.

While Zi Liyuan could ensure his own power far surpassed other strong individuals, he couldn’t help common professionals rise up. But Shen Yurou could!

Guns, bombs, exoskeleton armor, and even Mecha battleships—given her talents, Shen Yurou could potentially make all of these happen!

With someone to show her the way, Shen Yurou would undoubtedly become the beacon of hope for the rise of common professionals!

With the knowledge from his past life on Earth, Zi Liyuan could certainly be that guiding light for her.

Profession Advancement Hall.

When Zi Liyuan once again stepped into this place, the hall was no longer as deserted as during his first visit.

It wasn’t packed to the rafters, but several hundred people were nevertheless queuing, waiting for their profession quests to begin.

“As expected, geniuses are everywhere. It’s just unknown how many among them can complete a blue rare quest,” he thought to himself.

His Eye of Shadow expanded, and the professionals waiting in the hall appeared in his mind, their information largely gleaned.

About six or seven hundred people, a third of whom were decked out in blue gear, clearly the scions of powerful families.

The rest were outfitted in green along with the occasional piece of blue or white gear, most of them being common professionals.

“All are competitors, such a pity.”

Considering all these geniuses only came to do their First Order quest the day before the high-stakes test, they were merely the second echelon. The real powerhouses were already above level twenty, marching towards Level 30.

The wait wasn’t long, and soon it was Zi Liyuan’s turn.

“You again? Are you here to choose a silver hero quest for First Order this time?”

Fan Yuer recognized Zi Liyuan at a glance; his striking handsomeness and the deep impression he made on his first visit were hard to forget.

“Ah? No, no, this time I’m here for a Second Order silver hero quest.”

Zi Liyuan also had a vivid memory of the woman behind the counter—youthful, with silver hair and a voice so sweet it could melt anyone, as if she had stepped right out of an anime.

It must be said, the Profession Advancement Hall knew what professionals wanted, boosting the success rate a few percentage points, wouldn’t you agree?

“A Second… Second Order silver quest?”

Fan Yuer was taken aback, staring at Zi Liyuan’s eyes in disbelief as if to make sure he hadn’t misspoken.

“Yes, a Second Order silver hero quest.”

Zi Liyuan nodded, handing over the application form, identity card, and bank card he had prepared in advance.

“Junior Brother really has an extraordinary talent; he’s already rushed to Level 40 so quickly. His future is boundless.”

Fan Yuer squeezed out a sweet smile, received the items, and entered the information into the machine.

Originally, she thought that Zi Liyuan had failed his last advancement and felt sorry for him. It turned out he had successfully completed the Silver Hero class-change quest last time.

“shit, why didn’t I check whether he’d successfully changed classes? I missed such a good opportunity. No, I can’t become the object of a family alliance marriage!”

With these thoughts, Fan Yuer’s gaze towards Zi Liyuan changed once again — this could be her only chance to avoid being a tool for a family alliance marriage!

“Li Yuan, you’re here for the Second Order task; you don’t need to wait on the first floor. You can go directly to the upper level.”

The sweetness in her creamy, youthful voice suddenly rose a level and nearly made Zi Liyuan’s skin crawl,

especially when he saw the items being handed back to him were quite speechless.

A silver token, an identity card and a bank card, plus a photograph. The girl in the photograph had a childlike face with silver hair, a sweet and adorable smile, draped in a fiery red cheongsam that accentuated her curvy figure with an impressively tall stature. On the back of the photograph were contact details and an address.

Zi Liyuan awkwardly took the silver token, identity card, and bank card, and just as he was about to turn and leave, Fan Yuer’s milky voice sounded in his ear again.

“Hee hee, if Li Yuan contacts me before the high-stakes examination, I can give you a surprise.”

Fan Yuer certainly noticed Zi Liyuan’s expression, but she didn’t care about that anymore and directly sent him a trade request.

Zi Liyuan, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks, looked at Fan Yuer with a puzzled face, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the trade interface.

A bottle of grey potion lay quietly in the trade interface.

[Zombie Virus Potion (Blue)]: This is a type of infection virus that only affects corpses. It can initiate corpse transformation, evolving into Second Order undead troop type — Zombies. (Note: The infectiousness of the virus is so strong that the zombies it transforms into will also become sources of infection!)

Zi Liyuan was dumbfounded.

What is the most terrifying aspect of an undead plague?

The endless numbers, the undying nature, tirelessness, unaffected by morale…and the final horror, the terrifying infectivity!

This potion, although it could only infect corpses, was still horrifying in effect!

And a Second Order undead troop type — that’s a whole two tiers stronger than the skeletons he currently had!

That’s right, the skeletons summoned were not even First Order; they were just lower-tier fodder. Even with the various mutated and strengthened skeletons that barely had the strength of First Order, this was only achieved with the help of various passive enhancement skills.

After all, skeletons are the lowest fodder among the undead troops, totally lacking in prestige.

“Remember to contact me after you successfully class-change, Li Yuan.”

Fan Yuer pushed her own photograph in front of Zi Liyuan again and spoke in a babyish tone.

Zi Liyuan took the photograph and put it into his Spatial Backpack, gave the young woman with childlike silver hair a profound look, suppressed the waves in his heart, and headed to the second floor.

No matter what her purpose was, he would inquire after he’d successfully class-changed. His top priority now was to complete the Second Order Hero class-change!

The second floor of the class-change hall was incredibly quiet.

During the time before the high-stakes examination, those who needed to class-change generally waited until after the examination to come to the hall. At this moment, there wasn’t a single class-changer waiting on the second floor of the hall.

“Eh, it’s you again, kid, a Necromancer, eh? Early on, leveling up and pushing through dungeons is fast. But don’t rashly use the Hero Boss’s blood again. The strength of First Order and Second Order Lord Bosses is not on the same level.”
