The Magnate was definitely not the end.
There were certainly stronger classes beyond it.
Lu Fang pulled out his phone.
He moved quickly, skillfully dialing his father Lu Tianxiong's number.
Beep... beep...
Each waiting tone felt like a hammer striking Lu Fang's heart.
"Hello? Son, what's up?"
The call connected, and Lu Tianxiong's voice was deep and resonant, with the sound of wind in the background, as if he were flying high above.
As city guardians, Lu Fang's parents enjoyed the admiration of thousands but also bore the corresponding responsibilities, having to undertake at least one mission away from home each year.
"Dad, I'm awakening."
Lu Fang spoke rapidly, yet his voice remained calm.
"I need money, a lot of it, send it to me immediately."
There was a pause on the other end.
Lu Tianxiong didn't ask why or if he was being scammed.
He had absolute trust in his son.
Moreover, Lu Fang had never urgently asked for money like this before.
"How much?"
Lu Tianxiong's voice turned serious.
"As much as possible."
Lu Fang stared at the countdown on the panel.
"It must be fast, I only have... three minutes left."
"Alright."
Lu Tianxiong replied with just one word.
"Wait."
The call ended.
The Awakening Chamber returned to its deathly silence.
Only Lu Fang's heavy breathing could be heard.
03:00.
02:30.
02:00.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Lu Fang stared intently at the phone screen, its light reflecting in his pupils.
Every second felt like an eternity.
What if his father couldn't make it in time?
What if there was a delay in the transfer?
If that happened, he would have to stop here.
01:30.
01:00.
Only one minute left.
Just then.
Buzz!
The phone vibrated.
A bank notification popped up.
[Your account has been credited with 15,000,000,000.00 Dragon Kingdom Currency at XX:XX, balance...]
Fifteen billion.
Lu Fang looked at the long string of zeros, his heart clenched.
Did Dad empty the family savings?
Maybe even borrowed some.
After all, even a level 400 powerhouse couldn't have unlimited liquid assets.
But now wasn't the time for sentiment.
"Convert it all!"
Lu Fang screamed in his mind.
[Conversion successful, obtained gold coins: 1,500,000,000]
One and a half billion gold coins!
A quick look at will leave you more fulfilled.
Adding the remaining 8,900 from before, it was an astronomical sum.
Lu Fang's eyes turned red.
"Enhance!"
A hundred thousand gold coins were deducted.
The panel glowed brightly.
Then, a new requirement appeared.
[One million gold coins can be used to enhance class potential]
One million gold coins.
"Enhance!"
Lu Fang didn't hesitate.
At this moment, hesitating for even a second would be a desecration of his talent.
One million gold coins vanished.
The energy within his body began to boil, like magma flowing through his veins.
[Ten million gold coins can be used to enhance class potential]
Ten million gold coins.
"Enhance!"
Lu Fang gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain and pleasure of his body's enhancement.
[One hundred million gold coins can be used to enhance class potential]
One hundred million gold coins.
"Enhance!"
Boom!
Lu Fang felt something explode in his mind.
It was like breaking through some kind of shackle.
But he didn't stop.
Because his talent was still there.
[One billion gold coins can be used to enhance class potential]
One billion gold coins!
The countdown had only ten seconds left.
Lu Fang's finger stabbed fiercely into the void.
"Upgrade me!!!"
One billion gold coins evaporated in an instant.
The next second.
In the talent bar of "Money Makes the Gods Move," there were no more options to enhance potential, indicating that his class potential had reached its peak.
As the countdown ended, the talent suddenly dimmed and then dissipated into specks of starlight.
At the same time, the entire panel erupted with a dazzling golden light.
This light wasn't blinding; instead, it gave off an extremely noble and sacred feeling.
Lu Fang, bathed in this golden light, felt as if he had been elevated.
The light faded away.
A brand-new attribute panel appeared before him.
Lu Fang focused his gaze, his breath catching.
[Name: Lu Fang]
[Class: God of Wealth (Unique)]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 1000]
[Agility: 1000]
[Mental: 1000]
[Constitution: 1000]
[Health: 10000]
[Equipment: None]
[Gold Coins: 388,908,900]
[Skills: Spendthrift Strike (Level 1), Money Makes the Millstone Turn (Level 1)]
Lu Fang stared at those four "1000s," completely stunned.
One thousand points?
For a normal person, an initial attribute of over 10 points after awakening was normal, over 20 was excellent.
When his parents awakened, they were hailed as super geniuses, with their highest single attribute not exceeding 50 points.
And he, with all attributes at one thousand!
This was monstrous.
No, this was godlike.
Lu Fang swallowed hard, his gaze shifting to the skill bar below.
[Spendthrift Strike (Level 1): Consumes gold coins to deal 100 times the gold coins' value in true damage to the target, maximum gold coin consumption: 10,000]
True damage.
Ignores defense.
If ten thousand gold coins were consumed, that would be one million points of true damage.
What does one million points of damage mean?
Even those level 30 or 40 bosses could be instantly killed, right?
Lu Fang then looked at the second skill.
[Money Makes the Millstone Turn (Level 1): Consumes ten thousand gold coins to summon a Money Wraith, with attributes equal to Lu Fang's base attributes (not affected by equipment bonuses), current summonable Money Wraiths (0/10)]
Summoning ten henchmen with the same attributes as himself?
That would be ten monsters with all attributes at one thousand?
Lu Fang felt a bit dizzy.
Is this the joy of money power?
He looked at the remaining three hundred million plus gold coins in his hand, unable to suppress a grin that turned into a hearty laugh.
Outside the Awakening Chamber.
Wang Yixing stared at the door of Room 10.
Four minutes had passed.
There was no movement.
Not even a hint of dark clouds or lightning, not even the faintest glow.
The smile on Wang Yixing's lips grew wider.
He released his clenched fist.
"Seems I was overthinking."
He said softly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Some people, no matter how strong their parents are, are destined to be ordinary."
The surrounding classmates whispered among themselves.
Everyone was watching that closed door.
They had originally thought Lu Fang would awaken some earth-shattering class, given how powerful his parents were.
But now it seemed, it wasn't going to happen.
Suddenly.
Boom!
A golden light burst forth from Room 10 without warning.
The light was so bright.
Ten times brighter than the lightning Wang Yixing had summoned earlier.
The entire gymnasium was instantly bathed in golden yellow.
Everyone instinctively squinted, some even raised their hands to shield their eyes.
The golden light didn't dissipate.
It pierced through the gymnasium's dome, shooting straight into the sky.
Through the dome's glass, people could vaguely see the golden light coalescing in mid-air.
Finally, it transformed into a giant coin's shadow.
The coin had a square hole and a round body, engraved with ancient patterns, shining brilliantly in the sunlight.
An indescribable aura of majesty enveloped the entire scene.
