My career has infinite upgrades.

Gu Qing's eyes lit up. A critical hit reward?

Without hesitation, Gu Qing's gaze first fell on the advanced professions.

【Occupation: Phantom Contractor】

[Rank: E]

[Skill: Phantom Summoning: Consumes mental energy; has a very low chance of summoning a fallen spirit to do things for you.]

Gone!

That's all the skills he has.

Fallen spirit?

Gu Qing's lips twitched. Wasn't that a spirit similar to a slime?

What's the use of summoning it?

Moreover, the summoning probability is extremely low!

Even after advancing to a higher rank, it's still a weak class.

However, it's worth mentioning that this Phantom Contractor is actually a combat class.

Therefore, it seems that skill upgrades can transform a life skill into a combat skill.

Furthermore, after advancing to a higher rank, you can choose to display either the upgraded class or the previous class.

Pretending to be weak to fool others?

Unfortunately, it's a real pig now.

Gu Qing then looked at the requirements for advancing to the next level.

[Upgrade Requirements: Successfully summon a Platinum-tier Fallen Spirit.]

Gu Qing rolled her eyes. Platinum grade corresponds to B grade. Platinum is the highest grade of Fallen Spirit, right? It seems that a Fallen Spirit clan only has one Platinum grade Fallen Spirit, and some Fallen Spirit clans don't even have a Platinum grade Fallen Spirit.

Add to that the extremely low probability, and it's anyone's guess how long it would take to successfully summon a platinum-grade fallen spirit.

Fortunately, there's a simplified career advancement system.

[Simplified: Feeding or making physical contact with higher-level abyssal creatures grants one experience point per instance.]

Experience: 0/1000

Gu Qing nodded. Although the simplified version was still not simple, the difficulty had been greatly reduced.

After all, there's a monster park, similar to a zoo, where you can feed the monsters.

It just costs money.

Gu Qing's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the golden critical hit reward.

[Initial Advancement Critical Hit Reward: One-Time Useful Rare Item - Abyss Broken Altar]

Strange object?

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. This item was introduced in the course. It has various special effects, and its grade cannot be determined, so it is collectively referred to as a rare item.

A phantom backpack opened before Gu Qing's eyes, and a dilapidated, ancient altar slowly floated up in front of him.

[The Ruined Altar in the Abyss]

Disposable

You can choose to have one of the following two effects take effect.

[Effect 1: Directly consume the Abyss Shattered Altar to summon a Gold-tier Abyss creature to serve you, with 100% loyalty]

[Effect 2: Sacrifice creatures to the Abyss's Broken Altar. Based on the sacrificed creatures' potential, summon Abyss creatures to serve you with 100% loyalty.]

[Countdown: 24 hour]

Gu Qing's face lit up with joy. As expected of a critical hit reward, he got a big item!

Summoning a gold-grade abyssal monster would be a great boost to Gu Qing's current combat power, at least preventing him from becoming a complete waste.

The college entrance examination is in two weeks. A gold-grade abyss monster can get into at least one university. Even if the ranking is very low, it can still obtain resources after entering the university.

However, the second effect is obviously better, but Gu Qing has nothing to sacrifice.

Gu Qing pondered, a thought emerging in her mind.

Should I take out a loan to purchase a magical pet as a sacrifice?

After a brief moment of thought, Gu Qing abandoned the idea.

If the monsters summoned by the sacrifice are not powerful enough to help me pay off the loan quickly, I estimate that the day after the loan becomes overdue, my body will be broken into pieces and appear in the materials market.

Well, there are still 24 hours left. I'll think about it some more. If all else fails, I'll just summon a gold-tier abyssal monster.

"Gu Qing, are you deaf or mute? Didn't you hear Haoran talking to you?"

Su Qing's sharp voice rang out again.

Seeing Gu Qing ignoring them and lost in thought, she felt a surge of anger rising within her.

"Don't think you can hide your inferiority complex by staying silent. A loser is a loser!"

Su Qing crossed her arms, the magnificent robe of the Light Priestess making her appear superior.

Zhang Haoran also sneered and stepped forward.

"Su Qing, don't pressure him. He's probably suffered too much of a blow and his brain has completely broken down."

"How pathetic. A former genius with perfect combat skills, now he's not even worthy of carrying our shoes."

Zhang Haoran deliberately touched the Holy See Reserve Badge on his chest, as if afraid others wouldn't see it.

The surrounding students burst into laughter.

"Zhang Haoran has a really sharp tongue, but he's right."

"The difference between SS-rank and two useless F-rank is like heaven and earth."

"Gu Qing is really shameless. What are you still standing here for? Waiting for food?"

Amidst the noise, Gu Qing finally turned off the system light screen.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze as calm as a stagnant pool, coldly sweeping over Zhang Haoran and Su Qing.

There was no jealousy or anger in his eyes.

There's only indifference, like looking at garbage.

"No wonder I was hearing a buzzing sound in my ears; it turns out there were two flies buzzing."

Gu Qing parted his thin lips slightly and uttered a sentence.

He then emphasized his words, his voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the room.

"Idiot."

Gu Qing turned and left without hesitation.

Does he really think he doesn't know what kind of people these two are?

He only agreed to date Su Qing because he was after her resources, which she offered him.

Su Qing gave him a whole case of a high-grade Qi and Blood potion that cost 30,000 yuan each.

We can't just not want it, can we?

As for Zhang Haoran, this good brother?

In order to cling to this "future SSS-rank genius," he had booked a year's worth of tickets to the gravity chamber.

He even managed to get himself some of the hard-to-buy Bone Tempering Pills.

Without these two "splurging children," how could an orphan like him have reached the maximum level of physical attributes before awakening?

The two men turned on him the moment they saw that he had awakened two F-rank professions, which actually got rid of two troublesome people for Gu Qing.

Zhang Haoran watched Gu Qing's receding figure until he finally came to his senses.

His face instantly turned purplish-red, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"How dare he insult me? He's just a lowly F-class person, what right does he have to insult me?!"

Zhang Haoran gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with a frenzied humiliation and murderous intent.

Su Qing was so angry that she trembled all over, her delicate face twisted into a ferocious expression.

"That damned bastard!"

"Haoran, we can't let this go! I'm going to tear his mouth apart!"

Zhang Haoran took a deep breath, his eyes filled with venom.

"Don't worry, his arrogance won't last long."

"After school tonight, I'll show him the consequences of angering an SS-rank Holy Knight!"

"I'm going to break his arms and legs and make him crawl on the ground like a real dog!"

Su Qing snorted coldly, her eyes filled with cruelty.

"Just keep him alive. The priests of the Vatican have plenty of ways to keep him alive and torture him slowly."

......

As night fell, a waning moon hung in the treetops.

Gu Qing stood quietly in the mass grave on the outskirts of Lin'an.

This place was used to bury the bodies of fallen professionals and civilians during the Demon Cave riot.

Overgrown with weeds, scattered with graves, it is shrouded in a thin layer of grayish-white mist year-round.

A cold wind blew by, accompanied by the mournful cawing of crows, sending chills down one's spine.

Even the most daring scavengers wouldn't dare to come near this place.

This is precisely where Gu Qing chose to acquire simplified experience as an undead apprentice.

There is no place with a more intense sense of death than this.

[Host detected in an area densely populated with death.]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

......

I've only been here for an hour, and my experience bar has already soared to 95.

Experience: 95/100

With only five points remaining, even an undead apprentice can advance.

Just then, two sudden footsteps sounded, approaching with undisguised malice.

Gu Qing frowned, turned around and saw Zhang Haoran and Su Qing.

In this gloomy and terrifying graveyard, the light armor and robes worn by the two emitted a faint white light.

Extremely glaring!

"Gu Qing, Gu Qing, you really picked a good place for yourself."

Zhang Haoran's cold, sharp voice echoed across the empty mass grave.

He drew his knight's longsword from his waist, and the blade instantly shone with a dazzling light.

"If I just die here, I can save money on buying a coffin and digging a grave."
