For example, Lu Fan was currently in Jianghai City. If he happened to receive Beginner Treasure Maps pointing to the Far North Icefields three days in a row, there was simply no way he could travel thousands of kilometers just to dig there.
In that case, he could fuse the three Beginner Maps into an Intermediate Map. If the coordinates of the new map were closer, he could go dig it up instead.
All in all, the system was simple—but heavily dependent on luck.
If all the maps kept pointing to high-level danger zones, Lu Fan really would be out of luck.
Having finished checking the functions of his new system, Lu Fan had already followed the crowd out to the school field.
At this moment, a giant bluish-purple crystal pillar stood proudly in the middle of the field—the Class Awakening Stone.
Standing next to the crystal was a middle-aged man in a white cloak, holding a staff that glowed with a milky-white aura.
Lu Fan used the basic skill Eye of Appraisal, and immediately identified the man—he was already a Level 29 Priest, just one step away from reaching Level 30 and undergoing Second Advancement.
A Level 29 combat class, and possessing the unique skill Awakening Blessing, which allowed him to help unawakened individuals undergo class awakening—this priest was already living a life that Lu Fan could only envy.
Rumor had it that hiring such a priest to perform awakenings for a school's worth of students cost a whopping five million Dragon Coins. Lu Fan's aunt would never be able to earn that much, even if she sold buns for her entire life.
This was the difference between combat classes and life classes...
Lu Fan sighed softly and shifted his full attention to the awakening ceremony that was about to begin.
The field was noisy and crowded, filled with around three thousand students around Lu Fan's age. They were all seniors from Jianghai City's No. 3 High School, all of them having reached Level 10, and now eligible to awaken.
The excitement in the air was even more intense than what Lu Fan felt.
"It's finally happening. I've been waiting for this day forever… I just hope I awaken a powerful hidden class! Maybe then the top universities will all fight to recruit me, and my family will finally hit it big!"
"Dude, slow down on the dreams and eat something with your drink! I'll be happy just to get a combat class."
"Yeah. Out of 60 students in a class, if 20 end up with combat classes, that's already considered pretty lucky. Most of us will end up with life classes, so forget hidden classes—let's be realistic."
"I just want a combat class… even if it's a frontline Knight or Warrior. My parents are both in life professions, and they've sacrificed so much just to send me to school. I have to make them proud—I must get a combat class and give them a better life!"
That last comment struck a chord with many.
Whether they could change their fate—it all came down to this awakening ceremony.
Li Qun, the homeroom teacher, raised his hands to quiet down his class as the noise continued to grow.
"Everyone, settle down and keep things quiet!"
"The awakening ceremony will proceed by class. We're Class 25, so our turn will come later. Please be patient—everyone will get their chance!"
The other teachers were also helping maintain order. Gradually, the field began to quiet down.
At that moment, the middle-aged priest beside the Awakening Stone raised his head, looked over the students, and spoke in a calm yet powerful voice:=
"Let us begin the Awakening Ceremony."
"As arranged by your principal, Class 1 will go first. Students, approach the stone according to your student ID numbers."
It was finally starting!
The crowd stirred once more as a boy from Class 1 stepped out—he would be the very first student to awaken.
"That's Zhang Tao, Class 1's top student. I heard his grades are amazing. Wonder if he'll get a combat class…"
"He probably will. I heard that even though he's just Level 10, his base stats are much higher than his peers. Awakening does involve some randomness, but the stronger your stats, the better your chances of landing a combat class. That's been backed by tons of studies—definitely reliable."
"Shhh, he's about to awaken. Let's see what class he gets!"
...
As the priest began chanting a spell, light burst forth from the Awakening Stone, engulfing Zhang Tao in radiance.
Moments later, the light shimmered strangely, and a flaming rune emerged within the glow.
Gasps of amazement rippled through the crowd:
"No way! Zhang Tao really awakened into a combat class—a Mage!"
"Damn! His future's set. Mages have the highest damage output among all classes. Whether he's farming monsters in the wild or raiding instances, he'll never lack a party."
"Ugh, so jealous…"
Bathed in admiring gazes from every direction, the light finally faded. With a beaming smile, Zhang Tao returned triumphantly to his class.
