Over a billion experience points were poured in, shooting his level straight to LV80 and expanding his spatial backpack slot by 10 slots; he directly threw in 10 blood rune evil bags, adding another 1000 slots to his backpack space.
Satisfied, he glanced over his attribute panel, then his gaze shifted to the skill bar.
With the 20-level increase, all skills could be upgraded by 4 levels, which also meant a significant boost in the power of his skills.
Watching the rapidly dwindling experience points in his experience pool drop from 920 million to 80 million, Zi Liyuan felt utterly screwed.
"Damn it! Just upgrading all the necromancer skills once, plus there are over a hundred general skills yet to be upgraded, and it's already consumed so much experience. No wonder the majority of practitioners focus on a few core skills and only supplementarily upgrade others as needed."
The experience consumption was too great!
Every day, he worked tirelessly farming dungeons for experience, only for the Third Order job change quest to skyrocket his level, revertly entirely back to square one.
This was utterly frustrating.
"I still have to go buy skill fusion and variation scrolls, or else all those general skills are going to go to waste."
Cursing the unreliable experience needed for skill upgrades, Zi Liyuan could only helplessly close the attribute panel. Out of sight, out of mind, he then left the job change instance.
"Brother Zi, congratulations on the successful job change, this is something my father asked me to give you."
Wang Tie had been waiting outside the job change room for a while, and as soon as he saw Zi Liyuan come out, he immediately greeted him and handed him a document.
"Where's Uncle Wang? What's this thing?"
Taking the document casually, Zi Liyuan asked offhandedly and then pulled out the contents from the file.
It was a piece of intelligence on the Fourth Order job change mission.
"Old man's gone to a meeting. He said once you've finished with this document, burn it. Don't let its contents leak out to the outside world."
"Alright, thank my Uncle Wang for me."
Looking at the document in hand, Zi Liyuan was momentarily stunned.
The job change missions from First to Third Order had a maximum difficulty of only silver hero level, but he hadn't expected that the Fourth Order job change mission offered the option to select up to a golden Lord Level difficulty.
Moreover, the information stated that you could use a vial of Epic Boss blood to induce a mutation and enhancement in the golden Lord Level difficulty, creating an epic job change BOSS, but with extreme difficulty.
Even the direct descendants of the four royal families would need to pay a tremendous price to solo an Epic Boss for class advancement, and the success rate would not exceed 20%.
At the same time, this dossier also listed a long inventory of items that could help one pass the job advancement dungeon.
A mere dozen or so items amounted to a total value of up to 5 billion Dragon Coins, and acquiring them wasn't just a matter of money!
"It seems that I'll be stuck at LV80 for a short period."
The harder the job advancement task, the greater the benefits obtained after passing, especially the final fourth-order job advancement task.
Zi Liyuan, of course, wouldn't give up the chance to strengthen his foundation, so challenging the Epic Boss for class advancement was imperative.
"That's fine, I can first cultivate a batch of Undead Bosses, and then there's the Necro Realm outdoors. It's said that there are Bone Dragons within, and I should be able to acquire dragon bones and Dragon Souls."
As for the items on the list, if I acquire several more Lord's Hearts, wouldn't I be able to trade for them?
Besides, for the transaction with No. 2, if I want her to sign a Boundary Sea Contract with me, it will cost quite a few Lord's Hearts.
And, helping Xiao Yurou recruit Mechanic subordinates can also be done using Lord's Hearts as bargaining chips.
"Brother Zi, do you think I have the strength to pass the Dragon Academy's assessment now?"
While Zi Liyuan was contemplating, Wang Tie rubbed his plump face and asked hesitantly.
"Have you completely mastered the custom-made exoskeleton close combat armor for you?"
In the course of ten days or so, the two of them had gotten along well. To incur Wang Fu's gratitude, Zi Liyuan had used Wang Tie's body measurements to have Shen Yurou make a suit of armor that increased movement speed by 200%.
Naturally, there was a trade-off, as this suit of armor was excellent in speed, but horribly lacking in other attributes.
But, Wang Tie himself was a Beast Tamer and inherently a human support unit. His offensive power relied entirely on his pets, so the best equipment for him was whatever could ensure he wouldn't be caught and killed by monsters.
"Of course! I didn't expect Brother Zi to get such powerful equipment. Ever since I've gotten used to it, my dad hasn't had the chance to catch and beat me anymore."
As soon as this topic came up, Wang Tie wasn't sleepy anymore and immediately became energized, chattering nonstop.
"Good heavens, how scared are you four brothers of your dad, anyway?"
Wang Fu had four sons and four daughters, naming his sons after the metals: gold, silver, copper, and iron, whom Zi Liyuan had already met once. Every time they mentioned their father, all of them looked fearful.
The daughters were named after the four beauties of China: plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. Conversely, these four daughters adored their father, and their faces only showed happiness when speaking of him.
The sons were strictly disciplined, beaten from childhood and left with psychological shadows.
The daughters, doted on to the skies, had all their wishes granted and could receive anything they asked for.
In Zi Liyuan's words, sons are like bonus gifts with a phone recharge, while daughters are darling little cotton-padded jackets, lovers from a past life.
"As long as you're skilled with the Mecha, and the 25 Hero Bosses you've trained are well-commanded, passing the assessment won't be a problem. However, I suggest that you're not in a hurry. It's better to complete the Second Order Hero class advancement task first, trying to level up as much as possible before going to Dragon Academy."
Wang Tie, this fatty, had already reached LV40, but he hadn't attempted the Second Order class advancement task and was thus stuck at that level.
Mostly, it was because he had managed to obtain a whopping 25 Hero Boss pet eggs from Zi Liyuan. Training these 25 pets to his level had consumed a significant amount of experience points.
"All right, with Brother Zi's word, now I have confidence."
Admiration shone in Wang Tie's eyes.
His own father had tried everything, yet hadn't managed to get a single Hero Boss level monster egg. In contrast, Brother Zi had given him 25 in a matter of days.
That's just outrageous!
