However, Lin Xiu also understood that the upper limit of an Unspecialized was limited to this, if he did not have the support of a Divine Forgemaster as his second Class.

After level 20, Lin Xiu would have no place to live. At most, he would become a fighter and could only display his abilities in small Catacombs or low-level Secret Realms.

“Fate is really playing tricks on me.”

Lin Xiu’s clear eyes flickered slightly as he muttered. The corners of his mouth also faintly curled into a smile.

Since the heavens had given him the chance to become a powerhouse again, how could he give it up?!

Lin Xiu had already made up his mind. He wanted to increase his strength and secretly investigate the actions of the two great families.

Although he believed that this matter was definitely the doing of the Ding and Wan Families, he still wanted to find some clues and take revenge after confirming it.

Closing the System panel, Lin Xiu slowly raised his head and looked at the Awakening Platform. The ritual was nearing its end.

There were a total of 237 students participating in this Awakening Ceremony. In the end, only about 60 of them Awakened their Combat Classes, and most of the rest awakened their Life Classes.

However, there were still more than 80 students who failed to Awaken and were never able to achieve their dreams.

Although these numbers were just cold numbers, they revealed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the real world.

Less than 30 percent of the people could truly stand at the top of the pyramid. This was in line with the 20:80 rule.

At this moment, the students in the square had either happy or sad expressions on their faces. Those who had failed to awaken had already left the field. The only thing they received was a graduation certificate that was like waste paper.

As for those students who had Awakened their Life Classes, although they were still here, they had already lost the right to participate in the next event.

The reason why they were still standing here was to wait for the final assignment of the students’ Classes.

Whether it was to enter the factory to do screws or to work as a chef in a restaurant, the path was already set.

“Fuyuan Academy’s Awakening Ceremony has been successfully held. Next, all students who have Awakened their Combat Classes, please line up in an orderly manner to receive the initial equipment prepared by the Academy!”

On the Awakening Platform, the head of the grade, Jin Zhengmin, said with a generous smile.

Not long after he finished speaking, a few Academy assistants carried a huge golden box and prepared to distribute equipment to more than 60 Combat Classes.

Jin Zhengmin walked forward and immediately opened the lid of the huge box. For a moment, equipment that flickered with different colors entered the eyes of the students below the stage.

“Oh my God, there’s actually Silver equipment in that box. The leaders of the Academy are really generous!”

“I’m not greedy. I’m fine with two Bronze-quality items. If you buy these items in the job market, each of them would cost at least 1,000R. ”

“I hope that the quality of the equipment allocated to me will be better. Only then will I have the confidence to participate in tomorrow’s Catacombs adventure…”

The surrounding discussions continued. It could be seen that the few pieces of Silver equipment in the box were very attractive to the students.

After all, the growth of a Class was inseparable from good equipment.

As for the equipment dropped by ordinary monsters and the equipment circulating in the market, most of them were White Slate or Black Iron-grade. There were only a few basic attributes. Other than those Classes with very limited conditions, no one would buy them.

Only Bronze and Silver-quality equipment were mainstream on the market, but each piece cost more than 1,000R.

Whether or not he could save money on buying equipment through the Academy’s distribution of equipment depended on his fate.

While Lin Xiu was deep in thought, the few people in front of the team had already walked onto the stage and received a few pieces of equipment from Instructor Jin.

“Appraisal!”

His eyes lit up slightly. In the next moment, the attributes of the few pieces of equipment that the students were holding in their hands had already appeared in front of Lin Xiu.

[Light Cloth Armor]

[Quality: Black Iron]

[Basic attribute: Defense +2]

[Additional attribute: Movement speed +5%]

…

[Plain Animal Leather Boots]

[Rarity: White Slate]

[Basic attribute: Agility +1]

Looking at the pitiful few attributes on the equipment, Lin Xiu could not help but sneer.

These pieces of equipment that were below Bronze were only worth about 100R.

They were basically distributed to the students with lower talent levels.

As for the bronze-level ones, they were distributed to students with good talent and an advantage in their occupations.

The real world was cruel. The tip of the iceberg had already been exposed in the Academy.

Lin Xiu took all of this into his eyes, and at the same time, he no longer had much hope for the equipment that he was about to be distributed.

He had no future in his career, and he had a snobbish teacher.

He would have been surprised if the equipment he received was not of the White Slate grade.

In a short while, more than half of the players on the team had received their equipment.

At this moment, Wan Zhuoyun and Ding Shiyu also went up on stage. Each of them received two pieces of shining equipment.

Lin Xiu had already expected this, but he was still a little curious. He wanted to know what was so special about the equipment in their hands.

Lin Xiu’s thoughts turned, and in the next moment, the equipment attribute panel in Wan Zhuoyun’s hand appeared in front of him.

[Silver Thread Forged Armor]

[Quality: Silver]

[Basic attributes: Defense +4, constitution +6]

[Additional attribute: (Armor) Reduce slash damage received by 10%]

[Equipment evaluation: This is a well-made armor suitable for defensive wear]

…

[Apprentice’s Staff]

[Quality: Silver]

[Basic attributes: Spirit +6, Luck +1]

[Additional Attributes: (Clear Mist) Movement Speed increased by 20% after the battle, Wind Magic chanting time reduced by 10%]

[Equipment remarks: This staff is very suitable for a Mage who specializes in the wind attribute. The additional attribute provides a movement speed boost and can also make up for the weakness of a Mage’s short legs. It is a rare and precious equipment.]

Wan Zhuoyun and Ding Shiyu were both given a piece of Silver-quality equipment, and the attributes of the equipment were very compatible with their classes.

Even if one used their toes to think, they would know that this was specially prepared by the Academy for them.

“It’s true. It’s within my expectations.”

Lin Xiu snorted coldly, feeling disdain for the two people’s actions in his heart.

In his opinion, using improper means to squeeze out the living space of others for one’s own benefit was a despicable thing.

The two of them were clearly born into noble families and did not need to worry about buying equipment, but they still seized the few pieces of Silver quality equipment in the Academy.

This was obviously to suppress the others.

Although the students had seen the scene on the stage, they could only silently endure it due to the other party’s background and strength.

Not long after, the students in front of Lin Xiu had all received their equipment. Hearing the low voice urging him from behind, he reluctantly walked onto the stage.

“Here, this is the equipment from the Academy. Take it.”

On the Awakening Platform, Jin Zhengmin saw that the person who walked up was Lin Xiu, who had awakened his Unspecialized Class. He casually took out two White Slate quality equipment from the box and expressionlessly threw them on the table.
