Chapter 9: The Job Change Hall and the Second Advancement Quest
"The Wall of Life has been destroyed?"
Lin Han felt a bit guilty as he listened to the discussions on the street.
The Wall of Life was a landmark of Huiyue City, even featured in their textbooks.
He hadn't expected that the tsunami he caused would directly destroy such a thing.
Would his identity be exposed?
But soon enough, Lin Han stopped worrying.
From the crowd's conversations, he learned that the official explanation was that a battle between a powerful human and a supreme monster had caused the destruction.
No matter how they investigated, there was no way they would suspect him, a first-tier support class.
It was nearly evening by then, and Lin Han dutifully returned home.
"Han, you're back. Your mother was about to call the Security Bureau just now!"
"This tsunami was terrifying. Who knows which human powerhouse triggered it, but as long as you're safe, that's all that matters."
Lin Zhongtian carried a plate of dishes to the kitchen table, his face brightening with joy as he saw Lin Han return.
Upon hearing this, Lin Han felt a bit embarrassed.
Wasn't he the very 'powerful human' they were talking about?
He quickly replied,
"Don't worry, Dad. How could such unlucky things happen to me?"
Just then, Shen Mei emerged from the bedroom, saying irritably,
"These powerhouses never care about us ordinary people's lives when they fight. For now, be extra careful when going out."
"Alright, alright, Mom. Don't worry."
Lin Han changed into slippers and plunged headlong to the dinner table, grabbing his chopsticks and stuffing food into his mouth.
He hurried to switch topics,
"Dad, your cooking is getting better and better."
Lin Zhongtian replied with heartfelt satisfaction,
"Of course. You know who your father is. Slow down, no one's fighting you for food."
After dinner, Lin Han retired to his room to rest.
The next day,
He got up early and headed to the Job Change Hall.
Now that he had acquired elemental power and reached the limit of first-tier level ten,
He only needed to go to the hall, accept the advancement quest,
and upon completion,
he could ascend to second-tier.
When Lin Han arrived at the Job Change Hall, it was already bustling with people.
It was the peak season for awakenings,
and second-tier advancements were also at their height.
So the crowd was considerable.
Lin Han quickly found an idle window and slipped in.
"Are you a warrior?"
The receptionist, seeing Lin Han's tall and muscular build, instinctively assumed his class was warrior.
"Life Priest. Support class,"
Lin Han answered.
Priest?
The receptionist was momentarily stunned, feeling it was a pity. With such physical attributes, if he were a warrior,
he would surely be a rising star,
with limitless potential.
But alas,
he was a support class—a priest.
What a waste.
Nonetheless, she handed Lin Han a form.
"Please fill out this profession information sheet."
Lin Han took the form and saw it required some attribute values.
He quickly filled in his details.
Of course,
the specific numbers
were slightly inflated compared to when he first awakened.
If he were to write his true values—one point two million—it would surely bring trouble.
"Priest class. Have you already obtained the Elemental Source?"
The receptionist began reviewing Lin Han's information.
But when she saw his awakening time was just the day before yesterday,
she was surprised.
He had reached level ten in just a day!
Was he a monster?
Looking over his physical stats, they were far beyond what a normal priest should possess.
She felt a pang of sympathy for Lin Han.
With such stats,
even some exceptionally talented warriors might not match him.
"I have obtained the Elemental Source,"
Lin Han replied.
The receptionist nodded to herself, thinking:
He must be the young master of some influential family. Reaching level ten in a day and acquiring the Elemental Source.
Level ten wasn't surprising—anyone with family backing could do it, but the Elemental Source was a priceless treasure, not easily attained.
She grew even more curious about Lin Han's identity.
"May I ask, can I now receive the second-tier quest?"
Seeing the receptionist lost in thought, Lin Han asked tentatively.
She quickly recovered, smiling,
"Of course. But I need to explain a few prerequisites."
"You have two choices for the advancement quest: one is a designated quest, which you select, and the other is the system's random quest."
"The designated quest is usually B or A grade, sometimes C, depending on what the system offers—it’s not up to us."
"The random quest is entirely determined by the system; it might be lower than C grade, or could even be S grade. It's all up to luck."
"Since your class is support, I recommend you choose the designated quest; your chances of success are higher."
Without hesitation, Lin Han replied,
"Random quest."
Hearing this, the receptionist was surprised and confirmed,
"Are you sure you want to choose the random quest?"
After Lin Han affirmed, the receptionist helplessly took out an energy orb and said,
"Please place your hand on it and inject your energy."
Following her instructions,
Lin Han began the process.
Gradually, energy flowed into the crystal ball, which was connected by a wire to the display behind the receptionist.
[Name]: Lin Han
[Class]: Life Priest
[Level]: First-tier Level 10
[Advancement Quest]: Proceed to the Underground City, search for and hunt the Abyss Apostle, and obtain the Heart of the Abyss!
[Quest Grade]: S grade
Did he just draw the lottery on the first try?
Lin Han felt helpless.
His luck was just that bad.
Without the ten-thousand-fold amplification system,
he would never be able to complete this second-tier quest.
But now, with forbidden spells at his disposal,
he had nothing to worry about.
Once he reached the Underground City, he could sweep it clean with a forbidden spell; it was no pressure at all for him.
"Hello, I'd like to accept the S-grade quest: Abyss Apostle,"
Lin Han said decisively.
The receptionist's eyes widened; she had already imagined that this priest would waste his chance and then choose the designated quest.
She hadn't expected
he would actually accept it.
Wasn’t this tantamount to courting death?
"Sir, please reconsider. Your class is Life Priest; attempting such a quest means your chances of success are very low. I wouldn't recommend a quest of this grade."
"You still have another chance to choose the designated quest."
Lin Han appreciated the receptionist's good intentions, but shook his head,
"No need. This quest will do."
