[You have unlocked the archer class!]

[Congratulations, host. You have completed the Class Advancement Quest. Your level cap has been unlocked!]

"I finally completed this quest. Now I can keep leveling up."

When John heard the notification, his eyes lit up.

Hadn’t he spent all this time collecting the Codexes of Classes precisely for this day?

With that thought, he immediately began using his stored EXP to level up like crazy.

At the same time, he conveniently leveled up his True Spirit and pets as well.

[Consumed 1 billion EXP. You have reached level 100!]

[Consumed 2 billion EXP. Crimsonflame Dragon and Frost Phoenix have been raised to level 100!]

[Consumed 1.05 billion EXP. White Tiger Spirit has been raised to level 100!]

[Detected that the host’s level has reached the upper limit. A new Class Advancement Quest is now being issued!]

When John heard that the system had actually issued the next-stage Class Advancement Quest, he immediately opened the quest panel to check it.

[Class Advancement Quest]

[Quest Requirement]: Collect five types of Origin of Class.

[Current Quest Progress]: 0/5

[Quest Content]: Collect the five Origins of Class for assassin, mage, priest, warrior, and archer.

[Quest Hint]: Ways to obtain Origin of Class:

Draw through Fateshard.

Has a chance to drop from killing diamond-grade BOSSes.

...

After John finished reading the information for the Class Advancement Quest, he fell into thought.

This time, it had actually become a quest to collect Origin of Class.

Origin of Class was an existence even rarer than the Codexes of Classes.

It was said that the five supreme human experts who first created the five major classes had their bodies dissolved into countless fragments after death, which then merged into various places throughout the world of Apocalypse.

In his previous life, even when the game had developed into the later stages, only the warrior Origin of Class had ever appeared.

As for the other four, John had only heard rumors about them.

"Looks like this Class Advancement Quest won’t be simple."

John took a deep breath.

He chose to set the matter aside for now.

After all, Origin of Class was so scarce that without any clues in the short term, it would be impossible to obtain.

Right now, he was more concerned about something else.

John’s gaze landed on his panel.

He saw that the class section was flickering with a faint glow.

[The five major classes can be fused!]

At present, John had already unlocked all five major classes.

They could actually be fused?

Perhaps after the fusion, there would be some different kind of change.

With that thought, John immediately chose to fuse them.

[This fusion will consume 30 million gold coins and 100 million EXP. Continue?]

John chose to continue without the slightest hesitation.

This bit of consumption was nothing more than a drop in the bucket to him.

[Consumed 30 million gold coins and 100 million EXP. Congratulations, player. Your class fusion has been completed!]

[Congratulations, player. You have unlocked the all-class panel. All class talents below SSS-rank have automatically been upgraded to SS-rank!]

...

Looking at the notification that appeared on the panel, John’s eyes suddenly brightened.

After the fusion, there was actually the additional benefit of automatically upgrading talents.

Originally, he had felt that aside from assassin, the talents of his other classes were only S-rank and not strong enough. Now, after the fusion, all of them had directly become SS-rank!

Even though he had never come into contact with the combat techniques of the other classes, relying on his talents and various equipment alone, he could instantly crush the vast majority of players in those same classes!

From this moment onward, John was a player who stood among the ranks of experts in every class.

He immediately opened his personal panel and checked his current attributes.

[Class]: All-Class Fusion (Assassin, Archer, Mage, Priest, Warrior)

...

"Not bad, not bad."

John was very satisfied with his current panel.

After that, he decisively exited the archer trial space.

That was because most of the equipment he had looted from Zone 1, as well as that ruin, had yet to be placed.

Ever since witnessing how strict Zone 1’s hierarchy was, John had realized that although Zone 5 was nominally already under his control, in reality, because John had always been negligent in managing it, it had never formed a truly reasonable management system.

This time, he was preparing to take out the equipment and items he could not use and place them into the guild treasury.

At the same time, he wanted Vice Guild Leader Alan and the others to design a management system.

John’s figure appeared inside the City Lord Mansion of Overlord City.

He sat in the center of the meeting room and sent a message to Alan and the others.

"Return to the City Lord Mansion immediately for a meeting."

Before long, Alan and the others hurriedly appeared at the entrance of the meeting room.

The moment they received John’s order, they stopped farming monsters and rushed over at once.

When Alan and the others saw John’s terrifying three-digit level, shocked expressions appeared on their faces.

The highest level among them right now was only around level 50, yet Boss John had directly broken through to double their level!

"The guild leader is truly terrifying. It’s hard to imagine how he managed to break through to level 100 in such a short time."

For a moment, Alan and the others did not dare sit too close to John. They all sat down at the far end of the room.

"Everyone’s here, right? Then the meeting begins."

John raised his hand, and a large number of equipment and items glowing with all kinds of treasure light immediately appeared on the heavy conference table.

These were all drops he had obtained from killing bosses before, as well as the spoils he had looted from the Zone 1 guild treasury.

The value of the items on this meeting table alone was enough to establish a top-tier guild at any time.

Alan and the others were shocked once again.

They stared at the pile of items, where even a random piece was S-rank equipment, and all of them were completely dumbfounded.

"Guild Leader, what do you mean by this?"

John said calmly, "Take all of these and store them in the guild treasury.

"Then design a contribution point exchange system!

"I want the entire Overlord Guild to truly start operating. We absolutely cannot continue being as loose and lazy as we are now."

After Alan and the others heard this, their hearts shook.

With so many expensive pieces of equipment and items, the guild leader actually wanted them to put everything into the guild treasury?

Wasn’t this move far too extravagant?

One had to know that contribution points were already very easy for them to obtain right now.

Many people had already saved up large amounts of contribution points with nowhere to spend them.

If these pieces of equipment were put out, they would definitely be fought over madly by every member of Overlord Guild!

What John was doing was practically no different from giving them away for free.
