SSS class advancement rating!! New skills acquired!

Chen Guangmao sat beside the head seat, a faint smile on his face.

He glanced at the time.

"It's about time."

"Lu Fang should be here soon."

One of the elders snorted.

"Let's hope he doesn't back out at the last minute."

Lin Man said calmly.

"Even if he wants to back out, it's too late."

"The agreement has already been signed."

"As long as he doesn't show up today, we can declare him in breach of contract."

"When that happens, the management committee will have every right to take over the merchant association."

Chen Guangmao smiled.

"Young people."

"They always have to pay for their arrogance."

Just then, an assistant hurried into the conference hall and whispered a few words in Chen Guangmao's ear.

Chen Guangmao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"He went to one of our material purchasing shops?"

The assistant nodded.

"Yes."

"He sold a batch of materials."

Chen Guangmao asked.

"How much?"

The assistant hesitated.

"Three hundred and fifty million."

Inside the conference hall, quite a few people's expressions shifted slightly.

Three hundred and fifty million?

That was no small sum.

Lin Man frowned.

"Where did he get so many materials?"

One elder sneered.

"Where else could they have come from?"

"Most likely stock left behind by Lu Tianxiong and Su Qingyu."

"Given who those two were, it's perfectly normal for them to have some high-level materials on hand."

Another person nodded.

"He's probably selling off materials at the last minute to buy some lifesaving items for today's duel."

Hearing this, Chen Guangmao relaxed again.

"No matter."

"Three hundred and fifty million sounds like a lot, but buying items with that little money and expecting to beat us is a pipe dream."

"Besides, even if he buys something, he might not have time to master it."

Lin Man nodded as well.

"External aids are still external aids."

Jiang City Class Center.

Class advancement hall.

There were more people here than in the early morning.

Several level 100 class holders were lining up to ask about class advancement quests.

The staff member was still the same man from yesterday.

He had just finished processing a registration when he looked up and suddenly saw Lu Fang walking in.

His whole body jolted.

It's him, that baby-faced class holder here for his advancement!

The staff member hurriedly stood up.

"Sir, are you here to turn in your class advancement quest?"

"Yes."

"Please place the quest crystal back into the class advancement crystal."

Lu Fang walked up to the enormous crystal.

The other class holders in the hall all looked over as well.

A class advancement was something worth gathering around to watch.

Lu Fang took out the crystal.

By now, the golden light inside it was so dense that it had almost liquefied.

He raised his hand and pressed the crystal into the slot at the center of the class advancement crystal.

Hum.

At first, there was only a soft sound.

The next second.

The entire class advancement crystal suddenly shook.

Boom!

Blinding golden light erupted from within the crystal.

The light was more than ten times stronger than when he had accepted the quest early that morning.

Every light in the hall was instantly overwhelmed.

The entire class advancement hall seemed to have been swallowed by a golden sun.

"Ah!"

"What's happening?"

"What's wrong with the class advancement crystal?"

"Someone's turning in a quest?"

"What rating is this?"

Everyone was dazzled by the light.

Many were even forced to retreat.

The golden light kept intensifying.

Pillars of light shot skyward from the crystal, piercing the hall's vaulted ceiling and soaring into the clouds.

The entire Class Center began to tremble slightly.

The staff member stared fixedly at the crystal, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This light!?"

"Even an S rating-no, even an SS rating wouldn't shine this brilliantly!!?"

"Could it be!!!??"

"SSS!!"

As the staff member spoke.

In that instant, the entire class advancement hall fell utterly silent.

A class holder who had been about to accept a class advancement quest muttered.

"How is that possible?"

"An SSS class advancement rating?"

"Who is this?"

"What big shot is advancing their class here?"

Someone beside him spoke in a trembling voice.

"SSS on the first advancement?!"

"Has that ever happened in Jiang City's history?"

"No, right? Definitely not!"

"Who exactly is this person?"

Cries of shock erupted.

But Lu Fang paid them no attention.

His gaze rested on the screen of light before him.

[Class advancement quest: Gather Wealth]

[Quest complete]

[Rating: SSS]

[Congratulations on completing your first class advancement]

[Class advancement: God of Wealth → One-Star God of Wealth]

[Level cap removed]

[First advancement growth multiplier: 10×]

Seeing that notification, Lu Fang let out a long breath.

Exhaustion, tension, pressure.

At this moment, all of it finally turned into a searing sense of exhilaration that burst from his chest.

One-Star God of Wealth.

Tenfold growth.

I've finally completed my class advancement.

The next second, new notifications continued to appear.

[You have acquired a new skill: Road-Buying Money]

[You have acquired a new skill: Life-Buying Money]

Lu Fang's heart jolted.

New skills!

He immediately checked the skill descriptions.

[Road-Buying Money]

[Skill effect: Consume gold coins to forcibly open a passage to a designated dungeon, secret realm, barrier, independent space, or sealed area]

[The higher the target space's level, strength, and degree of lockdown, the more gold coins are consumed]

[Note: With money, even ghosts and gods make way]

Lu Fang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Forcibly enter any dungeon or independent space!

This skill is far too crucial.

The Abyssal Rift.

The place where his parents had disappeared.

Originally, to go there, he would have had to wait until his level and clearance were high enough, and even undergo scrutiny from the military and higher-ups.

But now, with Road-Buying Money, he had the possibility of bypassing the rules and forcibly opening a path.

As long as he had enough money.

The path could be opened.

Lu Fang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and continued on to the second skill.

[Life-Buying Money]

[Skill effect: Consume gold coins to restore injuries, stamina, mental power, and vitality for yourself or a designated target]

[The recovery effect is related to the number of gold coins consumed]

[The more severe the target's injuries and the higher their life tier, the more gold coins are consumed]

[Note: Money can buy lives, and lives are worth money]

A recovery skill!

And it wasn't just ordinary healing.

Injuries, stamina, mental power, vitality-it could restore them all.

Lu Fang could finally no longer contain the delighted surprise in his eyes.

This was exactly the ability he lacked most right now.

Previously, he had Spend a Thousand Gold in One Throw for offense.

Money Barrier for defense.

Money Ghost for summoning.

Rich Man's Boots for speed.

But recovery had always been his weak point.

After intense dungeon grinding, he could only recover through rest.

But now, with Life-Buying Money, that weakness had been directly patched.

More importantly, this skill could save more than just himself.

He could also save others.

If he found his parents someday...

Lu Fang's fingers tightened slightly.

At that moment, the weariness deep in his eyes was completely replaced by a sharp edge.

Cries of shock still rang through the class advancement hall.

Everyone watched the young figure standing at the center of the golden light.

They did not know his name.

Nor did they know what he had been through.

They knew only one thing.

Today.

At the Jiang City Class Center, an SSS-rank first-advancement class holder had been born.

Lu Fang ignored the strange looks from all around him. Next, he would head to the Fangfang Chamber of Commerce.
