How could someone change his tune so quickly?
If Jiang Che's investment opportunity hadn't listed Martial Arts Grandmaster, Yi Tian would have thought it was Sichuan Opera Grandmaster instead.
Jiang Xing and Jiang Han first shot Jiang Che disdainful looks.
Then they began to seriously doubt Yi Tian's words:
Your class was determined by fate. That had been an established rule for two hundred years. How could anyone change classes?
Anyone else hearing this would surely have thought he was bragging. Who didn't want to change classes? But who actually could?
The siblings were different, though. They knew Yi Tian was the employer Wei Yuan had told them about, someone Wei Yuan thought highly of. He had no reason to lie to them!
In fact, Jiang Che felt the same way.
But what if? What if a miracle really happened?
Yi Tian led Jiang Che and his siblings into Second High School. Changing classes right at the school gate would draw far too much attention.
As one of the few people who knew about Yi Tian's ability, Principal Ji Changlin naturally offered his full support and lent him a private space.
Yi Tian took out the Barrier Pearl, enclosing himself and Jiang Che within it.
The next instant, he spent 20 funds, and a Recruitment Contract appeared in Jiang Che's hands.
Looking utterly bewildered, Jiang Che carefully read through the entire contract...
"You want me to be your employee, but you don't even mention a salary? Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Che spotted the catch and exclaimed, "Aren't you a little too ruthless as a boss? You won't pay me a single cent?"
"Anyone who signs this contract is an idiot..."
"Wait, what do you mean by providing a Legendary class?"
Jiang Che rubbed his eyes, read it again, then rubbed his eyes once more, his face stunned.
Yi Tian offered no explanation. He merely told him that everything was in the contract, and whether to sign was his own decision.
Jiang Che immediately grabbed a pen. "I'll sign!"
"Anyway, if you can't provide a Legendary class, you'll be breaching the contract, so it won't bind me..."
With that, Jiang Che breezily signed his name.
As a golden pillar of light erupted, the carefree expression on Jiang Che's face turned to utter shock, his pupils widening abruptly.
"You were serious?!"
In an instant, Jiang Che's class panel changed-
[Employee - Jiang Che] [Class]: Kung Fu Kid (Tier 0) [Quality]: Legendary [Level]: 0 [Strength]: 40 [Agility]: 40 [Physique]: 30 [Spirit]: 25 [Class talent: Martial Arts Heart (Always remain calm in combat. Unarmed or weapon damage +50%, armor penetration +50%!)] [Class skills: Bajiquan - Crushing Fist, Bajiquan - Mountain-Pressing Shoulder, Bajiquan - Splitting-Hanging Palm...]
As the saying went, Tai Chi brought peace to the world, while Bajiquan subdued it through martial might.
Bajiquan was fierce, explosive, and forceful, but this truly was the class with the simplest skills Yi Tian had ever seen.
Its entire set of seven skills consisted of Bajiquan moves.
Yet it also had the highest starting strength and agility. Combined with the talent's damage boost, there was a certain beauty to those raw numbers.
Then a notification sounded, and his class advancement was finally complete:
[You have successfully recruited employee - Jiang Che. Attributes gained: Strength +40, Agility +40, Physique +30, Spirit +25!] [You have gained the talent/skills: Martial Arts Heart, Bajiquan!] [You have completed your Profession Advancement Quest! Your Profession Tier has increased from Tier 0 to Tier 1!] [All employees you recruit from now on will begin at Profession Tier 1.] [Class skill - View Résumé upgraded!] [Boss-exclusive class skill acquired: Hold a Meeting!]
Although Martial Arts Heart was powerful, the lack of skills had been one of the class's drawbacks. Now that Yi Tian shared the talent, however, he had far more skills it could apply to!
It was even more powerful in his hands.
Moreover, any talent he recruited and awakened from now on would start at Tier 1 rather than Tier 0. Apparently, their Profession Tier would match the Boss's.
Next, he checked the résumé upgrade:
[View Résumé (Upgraded) - Automatically detects nearby talent with golden potential or higher!]
Seeing this ability, Yi Tian felt a wave of relief. Having to open everyone's résumé one by one every time he searched for talent had been rather exhausting.
Now that it was upgraded, he would automatically be alerted whenever someone with golden potential or higher was nearby.
Finally, what he had never expected was-
Holding a meeting was actually a skill!
[Hold a Meeting: Ignore distance restrictions and gather all employees in the Special Space for a meeting! There are two meeting types: Strategic Meeting and Tactical Meeting. Strategic Meeting: After the meeting ends, all participants gain 40% increased experience for 3 hours. If [Employee Benefits] is used, experience gains increase by 120%! Tactical Meeting: After the meeting ends, all participants gain a 30% boost to all four attributes for 3 hours. If [Employee Benefits] is used, the attribute boost increases to 80%! (Employee Benefits: Spend funds to distribute special rewards to all employees.)]
The two meeting modes seemed more like group buffs.
Still, their effects were quite impressive, practically equivalent to a Legendary passive skill.
It seemed worth trying before leveling up or tackling a new dungeon for the first time.
By the time Yi Tian finished reading his new skill, Jiang Che had finally recovered somewhat from his prolonged shock.
Jiang Che felt a pang in his heart. As the youngest sibling, he had always been looked after by his brother and sister. After becoming an Elf Priest, he had felt even more like a burden.
But now, everything had finally changed!
Unable to wait, Jiang Che threw two punches into the air, whipping up gusts with his fists.
"Now this is the kind of class a real man should use! Not even a dog would want to be an Elf Priest!"
Then he looked at Yi Tian, a little excited.
"Boss! What do you need me to do now...?"
He knew that Yi Tian had brought about this transformation. Yi Tian had given him new hope!
Yi Tian understood that every person with golden potential had a different path to follow.
Rather than forcefully directing their work, it was more efficient to let talented people exercise their own initiative.
So he assigned Jiang Che no particular work.
He only told him that when he needed something done, Jiang Che was to follow his orders.
At that point, Yi Tian had intended to invite him along to tackle the new dungeon, but suddenly felt like testing [Hold a Meeting].
After all, the buff lasted a full three hours, long enough to remain active during their upcoming dungeon run.
With that thought, Yi Tian activated the skill immediately!
[Hold a Meeting]!
At that moment, his body grew hazy and insubstantial. The scenery around him shifted like a holographic projection, as though he were entering another dimension.
Before him lay a unique virtual space. It felt as if he were floating above a sea of stars, with soft light and shadows weaving together around him to form a meeting room.
A long crystal table stood in the center. Yi Tian sat upright in the boss's chair at its head, its towering back as imposing as a throne. He seemed to be looking down upon all the heavens and the universe.
At the same time, an unseen will spread outward.
"Boss! Where'd you go?"
Jiang Che watched Yi Tian suddenly vanish before his eyes. A second later, a meeting invitation popped up in front of him, and he clicked accept.
Outside, Jiang Xing and Jiang Han waited nervously and expectantly. Neither knew whether changing classes could actually succeed.
Bai Qiu Li stood beside them, perfectly calm. When a meeting invitation suddenly arrived, she responded with a thought and vanished on the spot.
"Huh? Where did she go? Did she turn invisible?" Jiang Han scratched her head in bewilderment.
Dingcheng, Border Defense Zone.
The Vanguard Regiment was about to begin a Live-Fire Drill when a notification appeared before Wan Jiang:
[Boss invites you to attend a meeting. Unless you are dealing with a major incident, please click accept or silently state your intention to attend.]
The Boss needs me?
After a brief moment of thought, Wan Jiang decisively stepped out of the drill formation and reported directly to the New Recruit Squad Leader:
"Squad Leader, my stomach's upset. It's urgent-I need the bathroom!"
The Vanguard Regiment's officers were quite accommodating toward Wan Jiang, who had defeated the Other Races in five consecutive matches and taken first place in the New Recruit Martial Arts Tournament.
"The drill won't start just yet. Go ahead!"
"Yes, sir!"
Wan Jiang found a secluded spot and silently stated his intention. Then his whole body gradually turned insubstantial until he vanished, as though he had been pulled into another space.
