68 Chapter 67: Choosing Occupations! (2/2)
”I am a seven star Warrior class!” replied Wang Guozhi with a proud face as he crossed his arms on his chest.
”I am a seven star Warrior class too!” said Ling Yu with a smile.
The chief doctor, Ju Zhianhu with a sneering look, declared his rank as he lifted his chin up a bit, ”Young master, this disciple is of the six star Alchemist class!”
”Eh? Such a vast gap! Perhaps the most impressive one here should probably be the chief doctor!” thought Duan Li.
The principal could only sighed deeply.
Looking at that downed expression of their principal, Ling Yu spoke out ”But Duan Li, you have to know what makes the Lord class occupation so unique! Just with the principal's battle prowess alone, he is already on par with an eight star rank Warrior class, a six star rank Spellcaster class, a three star rank Alchemist class and a four star rank Strategist class!”
It was only after she mentioned these that the face of the principal became bright once more and that dejected face alleviated slightly. Although there was still a trace of hopelessness that could be seen reflected on his face.
”If you wanted to know why a Lord class was so difficult to rank up, I will tell you now, its because a Lord class would have to raise the capabilities of their followers by using their own means, and the academy would not spare a lot of resources to nurture the followers under these Lord class people!” said the principal as he looked up at the ceiling, straight into the light bulb up ahead, as if reminiscing the most difficult moment in his life.
”Eventhough this would be quite a heavy decision to make for the people who wanted to become the followers of a Lord class because of the limited privileges that they will get, it would still not be a problem for them as they could find other means to supplement themselves.”
After exhaling deeply once more, the principal continued, ”Therefore, if it were only that, there would still be a lot of students choosing the Lord class from the silkpants students faction and those tycoon families. If I were to convert the value of 10 gold coins into one spirit stone, then the cost to rank up a single Warrior class into a five star rank would be a staggering 200 thousand spirit stones! For those rich individuals, although these are expensive, it was still manageable and could be recovered within a few months.”
”But what if I told you that in order to rank up to even a single star rank Lord class requires you to have at least 10 followers, of which the Warrior and Spellcaster class must be a two star rank above, and the Alchemist and Strategist at one star rank? With the total accumulation of the star rank ranks of their 10 followers to be at least 15 stars and above?”
”If you think thats a crazy requirement but still manageable, then the two star rank of Lord class requires you to have at least three times more than that, the three star rank Lord class seven times and the four star rank Lord class ten times?”
As the principal expressed all these, there were tears forming at the both sides of his eyes, threatening to fall down anytime soon.
He remembered that difficult times back then, where he had to be extremely frugal in every aspect of his daily life. He looks a lot more like a beggar living beside the street than a Lord!
Even his followers had to grit their teeth and work as part timers, some of them that couldn't handle it anymore even decided to leave his side, and after he had painstakingly put all his resources to raise their ranks too!
Those ingrateful bastards! One of these days, I will find them to make even for all of the grievances that I felt before because of them!
How dare they used me!
Wang Guozhi patted the shoulders of the Principal in order to soothe the latter's painful heart.
Hais, how tragic!
Thinking for awhile, Duan Li currently had a lot of resources that he got from the treasury he looted inside his spatial ring, so getting 10 followers shouldn't be an issue for the time being.
However, he needed to choose these followers carefully and they must have a solid and upright personality. This was because Duan Li was planning to nurture them so that they could help in defeating the Sun dragon in the future. Thus, they must be loyal and shared the same goal as him!
”I see, but I think I will be able to handle it! At least for the one star rank of the Lord class for the moment!” Said Duan Li as he looked at their eyes.
Noticing what Duan Li meant, the trio agreed because Duan Li has a responsibility that not many knew. If Duan Li couldn't even accomplish this task, then they can all forget about defeating the Sun dragon as it would be nigh impossible!
”En, fine!” nodded the principal before he continued, ”What about the minor occupations? You need at least four of them at the moment.”
With his photographic memory, Duan Li didn't need to look through the long list of occupations anymore as he quickly replied, ”I will take the Appraiser class, Herbalogist class, Master Teaching class and the Combat class!”
Eh? What an interesting choice of minor occupations.
The four of them tried to find the meaning behind Duan Li's decision. The chief doctor could understand the reason for the Herbalogist class, and the trio understood why Duan Li was confident to take the Master Teaching class and the Combat class, but for the appraiser class?
That is one hell-of-moly-cow difficult stuff that requires extensive knowledge on a lot of things, ranking up on this class wouldn't be easy!
