Reborn with Infinite System Points, I Gathered All SSS Classes! Chapter 37 -37-Taking a Secondary Class and Speedrunning to

[Player "Aike" has entered Overlord Trial Dungeon. You obtained 1 silver coin.]

[Player "Oli" has entered Overlord Trial Dungeon. You obtained 1 silver coin.]

[Player ...]

Driven by the enthusiasm of the Zone 5 players, the balance in John’s wallet kept climbing.

In just half an hour, he had already earned nearly 1,000 gold coins.

And that was with the vast majority of Zone 5 players not having entered the dungeon yet.

Still, to John, this inco was little more than a small bonus.

For an amount like this, all he had to do was wait a thousand seconds and use system points to modify it into existence.

What really concerned him was the progress these players were making after entering the dungeon.

The entire dungeon was roughly divided into five stages.

The first stage was the goblin dungeon he had cleared at the very beginning.

The second stage was the underground catacomb zone.

The third stage was Thousand-Faced Mage.

The fourth stage was the Thunder Lion in the underground burial grounds.

And the fifth stage was the Griffin King from the world-level quest.

The overwhelming majority of players were forced to give up at the second stage.

Only a small number of top-guild players managed to reach the fifth stage.

Unfortunately, because their levels were still too low, every last one of them was instantly killed by the Thousand-Faced Mage.

Although most of the monsters in this dungeon were nowhere near as strong as the original versions John had actually slain,

the current playerbase was still mostly only in the mid-to-high teens.

Even the highest-level players were only level 29.

Being able to reach the third stage was already their limit.

"Looks like I’ll have to wait a few more days before soone actually clears this dungeon."

John closed the dungeon progress panel.

Then he turned and stepped into the teleportation point,

instantly returning to Eaglecrest City.

Earlier, the village chief had given him a recomndation letter addressed to Arcane Academy.

Although John was not a mage, Arcane Academy did not teach only magic.

With that letter in hand, he quickly found Arcane Academy, located in Eaglecrest City’s second ring.

Two level 40 guards stood watch at the entrance.

When they saw John, they gave a slight bow.

"Welco to Arcane Academy, honored brave one."

John simply handed over the letter.

"Please contact your Alchemy Departnt for . I want to obtain the qualifications for the Alchemist secondary class."

In Apocalypse, players were free to choose one secondary class.

Most secondary classes were life-skill professions, such as chef, tailor, blacksmith, and so on.

Those ordinary classes had no entry requirents; all a player had to do was pay the corresponding fee to register.

But a high-level class like Alchemist required an NPC’s recomndation letter.

If John did not have the letter from the village chief, then no matter how high his Fa was, he would still be unable to beco an Alchemist.

"Of course. Please co with . I’ll take you there."

After confirming that the letter was genuine, one of the guards personally led John into Arcane Academy.

Arcane Academy was filled almost everywhere with mage NPCs dressed in long robes.

There were even non-human students among them, such as elves and beastfolk.

When they saw John arrive, quite a few students cast curious glances in his direction.

After all, he was the first player ever to enter this academy.

Very soon, the guard led him to the Alchemy Departnt building.

The mont John walked in, an alchemy instructor ca forward to greet him.

"Are you here to register as an Alchemist? Please follow ."

John followed the instructor into an alchemy परीक्षा room—an alchemy assessnt room.

"You only need to complete the introductory alchemy task to obtain Alchemist status. Best of luck!"

The instructor pointed at the large cauldron beside him, still emitting wisps of green smoke.

Several ingredients had already been laid out beside it.

[You have triggered the Alchemist Class Advancent Quest. Please follow the tutorial to brew a "Basic Mana Potion."]

John sat down and prepared to begin.

"Brave sir, you first need to—"

Because of John’s extrely high Fa, the Alchemy Instructor had originally intended to offer him a few pointers.

But in the very next mont, he froze.

He watched as John swiftly and skillfully tossed the ingredients into the alchemy cauldron with practiced ease.

His movents looked nothing like those of a novice player who had only just co into contact with alchemy.

In fact, so of his steps were even executed more cleanly than those of the Alchemy Instructor himself.

In only a few short minutes,

a Basic Mana Potion had been completed.

The Alchemy Instructor took one glance at it and was instantly stunned.

"It’s actually perfect-grade!"

Every potion had its own quality tier.

From low to high, they were:

Inferior, Normal, Fine, Top-Tier, and Perfect.

A perfect-grade potion could almost rival the effects of a normal potion of the next higher level.

For example, John’s perfect-grade Basic Mana Potion was already comparable to an ordinary F-rank Mana Potion.

"You are simply a genius."

The Alchemy Instructor silently took out an Alchemist Badge and personally handed it to John.

"Brave sir, if you don’t mind, why not join our Alchemy Departnt?

Our departnt enjoys the best treatnt in all of Arcane Academy, and our daily course load is quite light."

Because the alchemy talent John had displayed was simply too outstanding, this NPC had actually developed the intention to recruit him.

Unfortunately, John had no interest in spending ti on that.

The Alchemy Departnt’s curriculum was sothing he had already learned long ago.

What he needed was rely the Alchemist identity, so he could increase his alchemy success rate.

John waved a hand.

"No need. But I would like to purchase a batch of alchemy materials and formulas from you."

The Alchemy Instructor blinked in surprise.

"Of course. What do you need?"

Within the Alchemy Departnt, players could spend money to buy the alchemy formulas and materials they had developed.

The only problem was that the prices were extrely high—far beyond what ordinary players could afford.

But John happened to be at a stage where he had more money than places to spend it.

In a single breath, he ordered enough materials and formulas for 100 A-rank Mana Potions and 100 A-rank HP Potions.

Altogether, the cost ca to 10,000 gold coins.

Even for the free-spending Alchemy Departnt, that was a substantial sum of inco.

After John paid so generously, the Alchemy Instructor imdiately and enthusiastically arranged for students to personally deliver the materials.

He even opened a back door for John on the spot, granting him access to the academy’s most advanced Alchemy Lab for production.

At the highest level, an Alchemy Lab no longer required alchemy to be perford physically.

Instead, it had been upgraded into a formation array.

All one had to do was place the materials and formulas into it, then gradually control the array and transform them.

That alone was enough to complete the alchemical process.

John directly placed both the Mana Potion and HP Potion formulas and materials into it at the sa ti.

He pressed his hand against the array to activate it.

Very soon, two notifications rang out.

[You have crafted one perfect-grade A-rank Mana Potion. Alchemist proficiency 1000!]

[You have crafted one perfect-grade A-rank HP Potion. Alchemist proficiency 1000!]

John’s expression remained unchanged. After collecting the potions from the transmutation array, he continued refining.

In only half an hour,

he had completed 100 perfect-grade A-rank Mana Potions and 100 perfect-grade HP Potions.

At the sa ti, his Alchemist rank had directly risen from F-rank to A-rank!
