“Master… this counts as a class too?”
The golden text in his field of vision slowly faded, and the corner of Lu Sheng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, his expression exceedingly strange.
In his previous life, when he played games, he really did like exploiting those electronic servants, making that bunch farm cotton, having the Pals work around the clock, and so on.
So he ended up changing class into Master just like that?!
How was this supposed to be “combined with his previous life’s experience”?!
He had only been a black-hearted farm owner in games; that did not mean he was like that in real life, for crying out loud!
This was slander! This was slander! He was actually a kind person at heart!
Lu Sheng ranted madly in his heart, but ranting was one thing; the deathly silence around him and the countless stunned, bewildered gazes were silently telling of one fact. twin class holder!
This identity alone was enough to go down in Blue Star’s class history and shake an entire region like a miracle!
He forcibly pressed down the turbulent thoughts in his heart and impatiently sank his mind into his brand‑new class panel.
『name: Lu Sheng』
『Gender: Male』
『Age: 18』
『Aptitude: 18』
『Class: Data God (SS), Master (E)』
E-rank? And also… what was that SS-rank Data God supposed to be? Lu Sheng’s eyelids twitched, and he continued reading downward.
『level: LV1』
『Four Dimensions: strength 13, intelligence 17, Agility 15, constitution 12』
His four dimensions had increased quite a lot…
『Class Skills (Data God): Data Eye (SS), Data Body (SS), Data Ascension (SS)』
『Class Skills (Master): Be My Son (E), You’ve Been Promoted (E), Master’s Tasks (E), Talent and Sweat (E)』
『Data Eye (SS): Originally Basic Detection, it underwent a metamorphosis under the influence of the twin classes! It can see all information and potential of the selected target!』
『Data Body (SS): Life becomes data! As long as HP is not reduced to 0, any fatal injury can be ignored!』
(Physical immunity! Rule attacks! In front of data, all are illusions!)
『Data Ascension (SS): All rewards obtained are automatically raised by one grade!』
(Base iron becomes refined steel, dull stone turns into gold and jade.)
(Note: The above 3 skills are the starting skills of the SS-rank class 『Data God』, and their birth was influenced by the second class 『Master』!)
『Be My Son (E): You can sign a master-servant Contract with other creatures! Once the Contract is signed, the master-servant positions are fixed! The servant’s life and death lie entirely within the Master’s single thought! Current maximum number of servants that can be contracted: (0/3)』
Note: The maximum number of servants that can be contracted increases with the class level!
(Since you are ready to be my servant, then obediently serve me for your whole life!)』
『You’ve Been Promoted (E): After signing a Contract with the host, the servant can undergo a second awakening, and the awakened class level is determined by the servant’s own potential!』
(As a Master, only real, tangible gifts will give servants more motivation to grow stronger!)』
『Master’s Tasks (E): The Master can issue quests to servants! The content can be random or custom! When the quest is completed, the reward is randomly generated! Current maximum number of quests that can be issued: (0/1)』
Note: The quest limit increases with the class level!
(If you see a passerby acting strangely on the road, don’t ask! If you have to ask, then all of it is part of the Master’s tasks!)』
『Talent and Sweat (E): The Master can share the four-dimensional attributes, skills, and combat experience of servants of the same race, with a sharing ratio of 100%! Number of skills that can be shared: 0/1!』
Note: The effect of this ability can increase with the class level!
(The Master’s luxury cars and villas all depend on the servants’ talent and sweat!)』
『Note: This class does not belong to this world’s class system; its initial assessment shows that the basic functional modules are complex and its social generality is poor, so it is by default rated as an E-rank class!』
『Note: Affected by the special class Master, the original E-rank class Seeker evolved into the SS-rank class Data God.』
An E-rank class?! You dare call this an E-rank class?!
Looking at the attributes panel that showed the class 『Master』 with its four downright heaven‑defying starting skills, and the three dazzling divine skills of 『Data God』, Lu Sheng almost burst out laughing.
Only one thought remained in his heart.
He was set! This time he was completely set! He could just spiral straight up into the sky right where he stood!!
In this world, the number of starting skills a class holder had was an important standard for measuring a class’s potential.
An ordinary class holder possessed 1 starting skill.
A talent class holder would have 2 starting skills.
If a class’s grade was S-rank or above, it was definitely a talent class, and it would even have one extra class skill.
Yet his Master class, a trash class rated as E-rank, actually had 4 skills right from the start?! In sheer number it directly crushed S-rank classes!
Not to mention that the 2 classes together gave him as many as 7 starting skills, 3 of which were SS-rank divine skills!
His Master class was practically broken in a way that defied common sense, yet it was still rated as E-rank.
Complaints were complaints; Lu Sheng instantly stopped caring about the class rating, because strength had never been about the letters on the panel but about level, skill combinations, attributes, experience, and so on.
What he now possessed was a BUG-rank class that was enough to overturn the entire class system!
While waves were surging inside Lu Sheng, the onlookers also all saw the glaring white light blooming on the crystal ball.
E-rank!
The whole place fell dead silent.
As if someone had hit a pause button, the hundreds of gazes on the sports field froze in an instant, and all kinds of extremely complex emotions… shock and regret, schadenfreude, disbelief, suppressed laughter… intertwined and solidified on one face after another.
No way… bro…
A twin class holder… with double E-rank?!
What was this supposed to be? A failed attempt at two negatives making a positive, or an unprecedented ultimate jinx?!
Even the well‑informed Principal Chu Jianghe had the ecstasy on his face recede like the tide, replaced by an indescribably complex expression mixed with the great disappointment and deep regret that followed shock.
A one‑in‑ten‑million miracle had appeared, only to end up as such a huge joke; in the history of Blue Star, they probably could not find a second twin‑E oddball like this!
While most people were sighing and lamenting for Lu Sheng… and some even could not help but let out quiet snickers… the Lu Sheng on the stage was staring at his own panel, the corners of his mouth stretching wider and wider until the arc was so exaggerated it almost tore his cheeks, and in the end he could no longer suppress the eerie “jie jie jie” laughter that came out, his eyes shining frighteningly bright as he kept muttering, “Not bad, really not bad! Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!”
What was “not bad” about this? What was “wonderful” about it? Did he not just get one more E-rank skill slot?
Looking at how Lu Sheng seemed as if he were possessed by some final‑boss villain, so happy he had lost all sense of direction, Chu Jianghe’s heart gave a thump.
It was over! Had this child suffered the double blow of awakening an E-rank class and being publicly dumped by his girlfriend in quick succession, and his mind had completely collapsed? These symptoms looked like he had been traumatized into a split personality.
Should he call the school doctor to take a look?
Out of a principal’s sense of responsibility and a trace of pity, Chu Jianghe pushed down the weird feeling in his heart, quickly stepped forward, and softened his tone as much as possible, speaking with a note of consolation.
“Student Lu Sheng… this… although both classes are E-rank, it is indeed… mm, a bit unexpected, and it is inevitable that you would feel disappointed…”
“But!” He stressed his tone, trying to encourage Lu Sheng. “You absolutely must not lose heart because of this! You are already a one‑in‑ten‑thousand twin class holder! This is an unprecedented situation! Maybe… maybe you can rely on the unique combination of these 2 classes to carve out a path to the heavens that no one has ever walked before!”
Lu Sheng came back to his senses and was slightly stunned when he heard that.
Disappointed? Why should he be disappointed?!
So that was it! It was because they all thought he had awakened another E-rank trash class, but they had absolutely no idea what the class actually contained, much less how much gold the Master class was worth!
He took a deep breath, forced a “I am strong and optimistic” expression onto his face, nodded vigorously, and looked at Chu Jianghe with sincere eyes:
“Principal, you are absolutely right! Even if it is only an E-rank class, I firmly believe that with my talent and sweat I can keep getting stronger and climb to the peak of the class path!”
“Principal Chu, thank you! I have successfully awakened a second class!”
“Old man, just get ready to be promoted, get a raise, and marry a rich beauty!”
After saying that, he even adopted the posture of a leader consoling a subordinate, reaching out with an almost elderly air to give Chu Jianghe a heavy pat on the shoulder.
Only then, under the other’s dazed gaze, did he turn around with a flourish and stride down from the transfer platform.
He left Chu Jianghe standing rigidly alone on the stage, completely bewildered in the gentle breeze.
“Huh?”
“Promotion… raise… marrying a rich beauty? Me?”
Chu Jianghe muttered to himself, his gaze unfocused. “Could it be that he… has gone crazy?”
“Trash is trash! Even if you had the shitty luck to get a second awakening, in the end it is still an E-rank piece of garbage!”
“With just your double E-rank classes, you still dare to brag shamelessly about being first in the whole city? I could laugh my teeth out!”
At the foot of the transfer platform, watching Lu Sheng walk over, Qin Yanran sneered.
The look of one mourning her parents that she had worn earlier when she saw Lu Sheng successfully undergo a second awakening had long since vanished, replaced by the excitement of having her wish fulfilled. Lu Sheng had awakened double E-rank? This was simply the most beautiful news she had heard today!
However, the instant the words left her mouth…
Whoosh!
A sharp sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rushed in!
The smugness on Qin Yanran’s face froze in an instant and her pupils shrank. She had never imagined that Lu Sheng would actually dare to lay hands on her, and in front of so many watching eyes at that!
“Two E-rank pieces of trash! You dare make a move on an A-rank like me? You are courting death!”
Qin Yanran was furious inside and reacted extremely fast; after all, she was the holder of an A-rank talent class, the Holy Light priest!
Her initial attributes far surpassed those of an ordinary class holder. With everyone being LV1, her strength and constitution absolutely crushed those of Lu Sheng, who only had E-rank classes.
“With this slap, just watch me knock your teeth all over the ground!”
A trace of malice flashed in Qin Yanran’s eyes as she instantly raised her hand, gathering all her strength, planning to strike later yet arrive first and give Lu Sheng a lesson he would never forget as long as he lived.
But in the very next moment, the strength and speed in Lu Sheng’s palm suddenly surged, and his hand landed on her face a split second ahead of hers.
Smack…
Accompanied by a dull smack, Qin Yanran felt a burning pain spread across her left cheek as her body flew out like a spinning top that had been lashed, tracing a miserable arc through the air before crashing hard onto the rubber track several meters away.
“Pfft… cough, cough!”
Qin Yanran collapsed to the ground in a sorry heap, half her face swelling red at a speed visible to the naked eye as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Her gaze was vacant and her mind a blank; only the piercing pain in her cheek reminded her of what had happened.
“How is this possible?! H-he is E-rank, is he not? How can his strength be this great?! How can his speed be this fast?!”
The immense absurdity and humiliation almost swallowed her whole; she, a dignified A-rank class holder, had made full preparations, yet had been sent flying with a single slap by a double‑E piece of trash?!
“Idiot, I told you not to block the way; you really never learn your lesson, do you? Do you not understand human speech?”
“Hurry up and roll back to Gotham; Batman says he is not going to arrest you anymore.”
Lu Sheng glanced down at the bedraggled Qin Yanran on the ground from above, his eyes as if he were looking at trash by the roadside. He could not even be bothered to say an extra word and simply stepped over her, walking straight toward the school gate without looking back.
She had been the one who proposed the breakup, and now she was also the one shamelessly blocking the way and yapping like a dog! Did she really think she was some kind of big shot? If he did not give her a bit of color to see, she really would not be able to tell which joker was the big one and which was the small one?!
