1: Chapter 1 Job Change Ceremony Begins

Great Xia Dragon Country, Jian'an Province, Jiangkou City.

At this moment, on the playground of Jiangkou City No. 1 High School, several Professionals clad in white robes were busily setting up the class advancement array.

All the senior students of Jiangkou City No. 1 High School were about to welcome the most important moment of their lives: class advancement.

Over 200 senior students were sitting on the playground, listening to Principal Lin Hanwen speak.

"Students, I am sure you must be feeling very excited right now!

But listen to me, do not get excited just yet.

Regardless of the outcome of your class advancement later, I hope everyone can treat it with a normal mindset. Students who advance into combat classes should not be arrogant, and students who advance into support or lifestyle classes should not be discouraged.

You must know that every one of us is an indispensable member of all humanity.

Alright, that is all I have to say. From here on, it is up to you!"

Like all the other students, Tang Mo was also full of anticipation for the upcoming class advancement.

Having been in this world for over a decade, Tang Mo had long since thoroughly understood it.

Over a thousand years ago, a mysterious invasion occurred, fierce beasts ran rampant, and countless secret realms, dungeons, and abysses descended upon the world.

People in this world would undergo class advancement in their third year of high school, and then by clearing dungeons, secret realms, and abysses, or hunting fierce beasts in the wild, they could gain experience.

Through the experience gained, they could increase their level, upgrade their skills, and enhance their strength.

At the same time, this was also a war fought for the survival of humanity.

For thousands of years, countless human predecessors had shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, which is why humanity has the stable life it enjoys today.

However, the results of class advancement can be good or bad.

Combat-type classes are naturally the most popular, followed by support-type classes, and finally, lifestyle-type classes.

However, this does not mean that combat classes are the most powerful.

Throughout history, there have been many god-level support Professionals and god-level lifestyle Professionals.

They, too, have created unexpected glory.

Especially support-type classes, which are almost essential for entering dungeons, secret realms, and abysses; for some dungeons, it is simply impossible to clear them without a support class.

The same applies to lifestyle-type classes.

But this still does not stop people's love and pursuit of combat classes.

In Tang Mo's view, every class has its unique aspects; as long as one knows how to utilize them well, it is not impossible to create a legend of one's own.

Accompanied by a gentle halo of light spreading across the playground, the class advancement array was finished being set up.

Subsequently, Principal Lin Hanwen began to call names one by one with his uniquely gruff voice.

On the playground, the heavy breathing of others could be heard from time to time.

It was not just them; Tang Mo was also quite looking forward to what mysterious class he would advance into.

This was one of the reasons why class advancement was so mysterious: the result of the advancement was completely unknown.

Some people performed very well in their studies, yet they only advanced into a lifestyle class.

Others performed averagely, yet they happened to advance into a powerful combat class.

Tang Mo's grades in school were not very good, and he sat in the last row of the classroom, with extremely low presence in the class; he was practically invisible.

In daily life, almost no one was willing to interact with Tang Mo.

Suddenly, someone patted Tang Mo on the shoulder. Wang Kaiwen suddenly leaned his head over and asked, "What class do you want to advance into?"

Tang Mo turned his head to look at him but did not speak.

Wang Kaiwen was Tang Mo's deskmate and could be considered one of the few people who had any interaction with Tang Mo.

Seeing that Tang Mo did not speak, Wang Kaiwen did not get angry and continued to mutter to himself, "I want to advance into a Swordsman. If I encounter a fierce beast, I can just slash it down with one sword. How cool would that be!"

"Swordsman is the coolest class."

After saying this, Wang Kaiwen revealed a look of longing.

Tang Mo did not know where he got his confidence from. Just being able to advance into a combat class was already rare enough, yet he actually wanted to become a Swordsman.

Actually, it was not just Wang Kaiwen; all men had a dream of wandering the world with a sword in their hearts, not for anything else, but because it was cool.

Whether it is powerful or not is secondary; being cool is a lifelong matter.

However, such a dream was destined to be difficult to achieve.

According to records from previous years, the probability of advancing into a combat class was only about 10%.

In other words, out of these 200+ people, only about 20 would be able to advance into a combat class.

However, this did not stop Wang Kaiwen from continuing to talk, while Tang Mo stood in front and continued to listen.

The others were also focused on watching the class advancement array; it seemed no one was seriously listening to what Wang Kaiwen was saying.

The class advancement array would emit a burst of light from time to time, which meant that someone had successfully advanced.

But the light was not very bright, which meant that their class was not very powerful.

Principal Lin Hanwen, who had been standing on the side the whole time, frowned tightly. His expression no longer had the composure from when he first started speaking, and even his voice calling out names became quieter.

"Next, Xu Guangming!"

Xu Guangming squeezed out of the crowd and walked toward the class advancement array with a nervous expression.

Subsequently, the array began to operate, and with a weak flash of light, Xu Guangming's class advancement was finished.

"Lifestyle class: Chef!"

Xu Guangming's face turned pale; he seemed to have some difficulty accepting this result.

"Chef is the most useless class."

"Yeah, unless Xu Guangming meets a big foodie, they might take him along into a dungeon, otherwise, he would find it hard to even pass the simplest 'Novice dungeon'!"

The Principal standing on the side heard this and hurriedly offered words of comfort: "Chef is not bad either. In the future, you can cook the flesh and blood of those fierce beasts into peerless delicacies, allowing everyone to feast."

"Don't be discouraged; at least you already have a goal to strive for in the future, don't you?

Throughout history, it is not as if there have never been god-level Chefs. You need to pull yourself together and work hard!"

Although the Principal was not in a very good mood, he still patiently consoled Xu Guangming.

After Xu Guangming's emotions stabilized slightly, he called for someone to take him to the side.

"Next, Wan Hong!"

Upon being called, Wan Hong immediately trotted toward the stage.

Then, another flash of light shone from the array.

"Lifestyle class: Blacksmith!"

Wan Hong's expression was slightly better; he was relatively satisfied with his class.

The Blacksmith class could be considered a relatively popular lifestyle class, simply because it could forge weapons and armor, which was very helpful for the growth of Professionals.

"Yu Wenwen!"

"Jiang Xu!"

"Zhang Songwen!"

...

Several students went up in a row to undergo class advancement, but the results were all unsatisfactory.

Lin Hanwen's face had completely turned the color of pig's liver. He could only force a smile and run over to discuss with the white-robed mage in charge of the class advancement array to see if they could take a break.

It was mainly because if they didn't stop for a while, Lin Hanwen felt his blood pressure was about to burst a vessel.

Seeming to have noticed Lin Hanwen's intentions, the few white-robed mages agreed.
