Jiang Chen was stunned.
The system might be late, but it never fails to show up.
Jiang Chen stood on the stage, feeling a burst of white light.
The Class-Transfer Teacher looked at Jiang Chen, his face full of disappointment. "Swordsman, D-grade Evaluation. Next."
Jiang Chen was greatly disappointed.
Only D-grade? System, come out and explain this! Why is it a D-grade Swordsman Class?
[Hundred Times Amplification, Activate. Activation Complete.]
Hundred Times Amplification? What does that mean?
"Next, Wang Gang."
Wang Gang walked up with an arrogant swagger, touching his hand to the crystal ball.
"Class Transfer Successful: Paladin, A-grade Evaluation."
Wang Meng laughed. "Go on down."
"Oh."
The classmates cast envious glances. Wang Gang looked at Jiang Chen triumphantly. "Bro, I successfully transferred, and I'm an A-grade Paladin! Awesome, right?"
Jiang Chen was in no mood to congratulate him. He was inwardly calling out to the system, but there was absolutely no response.
Could the system be a fake? Just a figment of my imagination?
Jiang Chen looked at Wang Fatty. That damn fatty actually became an A-grade Paladin? That can't be right. Did he cheat? My looks and physique are a hundred times better than this fatty's! How can a handsome man like me be inferior to him? How could my class possibly be worse than a fatty's? This really sucks.
Looking at the students who hadn't successfully transferred classes, Jiang Chen felt a bit more balanced. Class transfer wasn't a guaranteed success. The success rate was probably around fifty percent, and of those, thirty percent were Support Classes, completely lacking offensive capabilities: Farmer, Blacksmith, Tailor, Doctor, and so on.
At least a Swordsman wielded a sword, but in the class evaluation, it was graded D-level—the lousiest of melee classes.
Wang Gang looked at Jiang Chen with a smug expression. "Little brother, just follow me from now on. I'll take you leveling."
Jiang Chen retorted, "Just the two of us leveling? Are you trying to get us killed? You with a sword, me with a sword, foolishly attacking Demons?"
"I have a shield."
"A shield is useless. How many hits can you take?"
"No worries, bro. I'm an A-grade Class. We just need to find a Priest to back us up, and we'll be golden."
The key is finding a Priest willing to team up with me! Priests are in high demand these days.
Why was the Swordsman class evaluated so poorly? A Swordsman was purely offensive, with no defensive power, far less than a Knight. Knights could use shields, making them capable of both offense and defense—a balanced class. Swordsmen couldn't do that; they relied on Agility. A Swordsman's Offensive Power didn't match a Knight's, and their Agility couldn't compare to an assassin's. That was why the evaluation was so low.
Wang Gang laughed. "By the way, what Skill do you have? I got one called Divine Light Protection. It can release a Shield for a short time, increasing defensive power by fifty percent. This Skill is freaking amazing!"
Jiang Chen had forgotten. After a successful class transfer, one would obtain an exclusive Badge, which would grant new Skills. After their successful class transfers, they all received access to their panels. They also gained the ability to wear equipment and could earn experience points by killing Warcraft, which allowed them to upgrade their abilities.
The basic Attributes were Constitution, Strength, Agility, and Spirit. As levels increased, these basic Attributes would also increase.
Jiang Chen hurriedly checked his panel.
[Name: Jiang Chen]
[Occupation: Swordsman]
[Level: 1]
[Experience: 0/100]
[Constitution: 5]
[Strength: 5]
[Spirit: 6]
[Agility: 5]
[Equipment: None]
[Space: 5]
[Skill:
Basic Swordsmanship: Concentrates all internal power to emit a streak of Sword Qi forward, attacking the enemy. Attack range: 40 centimeters. Power-gathering time: three seconds. MP cost: 1 point.
Basic Footwork: Increases Agility for a short period to avoid enemy attacks. Duration: 5 seconds. MP cost: 1 point.]
Just these two? Crappy class, crappy Skills.
Jiang Chen activated the Skills.
[Hundred Times Amplification in progress… Amplification successful.]
Is this my Goldfinger? Hundred Times Amplification!
Jiang Chen looked at the Skill again.
Basic Swordsmanship: Condenses all of one's strength and releases a sword beam forward, attacking enemies. Attack range: 40 meters. Energy condensing time: 0.03 seconds. MP cost: 1 point.
Shock, nothing but pure shock! Warcraft, I'll give you a 39-meter head start; my 40-meter Sword Qi is itching for action… This is a direct 100-fold increase in range! And 100 times the Offensive Power!
Jiang Chen was utterly dumbfounded.
He activated the other Skill.
[System amplification in progress... Amplification successful.]
Basic Footwork: In a short amount of time, increases one's Agility to dodge enemy attacks. Duration: 500 seconds. MP cost: 1 point.
Five hundred seconds! What does that even mean? That's over eight minutes! Who needs eight minutes for a battle? Most fights are over in mere tens of seconds!
Jiang Chen finally understood what Hundred Times Amplification meant. It's like being born at the pinnacle, a King among men! Who could possibly be my opponent?
Jiang Chen forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Wang Gang took out his phone, searched online, and exclaimed, "This Skill Book, Divine Light Sanction, is freaking awesome!"
Jiang Chen glanced at it: Divine Light Sanction – when using holy light to attack enemies, there's a certain chance to stun them. Price: Fifty Thousand Gold Coins.
Wang Gang said excitedly, "See? This Skill has a chance to stun enemies! Isn't it amazing? I'm planning to buy this Skill."
"Indeed, pretty badass."
"What about you? Aren't you going to buy a Skill Book? You know, after we successfully change classes, besides the Skills from the class itself, we can also learn two additional Skills."
Jiang Chen quickly pulled out his phone.
Hundred Times Amplification… I wonder what Skills it will affect. Sword Qi Surging: Concentrates a Sword Qi that circles around, actively attacking enemies. Duration: one minute… Hold on. Let's process this. If it's Hundred Times Amplification, then it's a hundred Sword Auras circulating around, actively attacking enemies, lasting for 100 minutes… Wouldn't that become like Wan Jian Gui Clan?
Jiang Chen looked at the price: thirty thousand Gold Coins.
Still acceptable.
Jiang Chen hurriedly placed the order.
Order successful.
Jiang Chen then looked at other Skills. Before the second-stage advancement, he couldn't be careless; he had to choose carefully.
Now I have Offensive Power and speed… what am I missing? Spiritual power. When using Skills, a certain amount of spiritual power is consumed. Without it, you can't use Skills. Therefore, the most important thing is a Skill Book that restores spiritual power. And once I have a spiritual power restoration Skill Book, I won't need a Priest.
After figuring out this key point, Jiang Chen immediately searched for Skill Books related to spiritual power restoration.
Soon, a Swordsman Skill Book appeared.
Passive Skill, Meditation: Stand still for ten seconds and slowly restore your spiritual power. Recovery amount: 1 point.
This passive Skill Book seems like trash. Ten seconds of immobility just to restore 1 spiritual power point? Just 1 spiritual power point? For other classes, it's negligible. One spiritual power point is entirely insufficient, and it requires ten seconds! But with Hundred Times Amplification, it's a different story! Stand still for just 0.1 seconds and rapidly recover 1 point of spiritual power! What does 0.1 seconds mean? It's practically instantaneous! This passive Skill Book is trash for other classes, but for me, it's a treasure!
The price was five thousand Gold Coins.
What a steal!
Order complete.
Wang Gang, watching this, was perplexed. "Why are you buying that thing? With a Priest to restore your spiritual power, this passive Skill Book is complete trash. You're totally wasting an active Skill slot."
"This thing is useful for me."
"Useful my ass! If you have to stand still for ten seconds, what would you do if a Warcraft attacked you? Just stand there like an idiot?"
"Heh heh… restoring spiritual power without spending money, that saves a lot of Spiritual Medicine!"
Wang Gang shrugged helplessly.
