Soren’s appearance also attracted a lot of attention, especially from the female students.

The reason was simple: Soren was exceptionally handsome, the undisputed heartthrob of Coastal City High. Many girls had a secret crush on him, including the school beauty, Autumn Montgomery.

The class change process was straightforward. One simply placed their hand on the Class Change Tower and waited for ten seconds.

After ten seconds, the class change information for the five students appeared on the tower.

“Leo Lyons, Life Profession: Masseur.”

“Julian Seymour, Combat Profession: Lancer.”

…

“Soren Hawthorne, Combat Profession: Wood Summoner.”

“Wow, as expected of Soren. Not only is he handsome, but he also got Summoner. Amazing!” a girl with a ponytail murmured dreamily.

A horse-faced boy beside her scoffed, “It’s just a Wood Summoner, what’s the big deal?”

“Isn’t Summoner a strong profession?” someone asked.

The horse-faced boy smirked. “Summoners are indeed powerful, except for Wood Summoners. In terms of combat power, they’re the weakest among Combat Professions, even worse than some Support Professions. Calling it useless wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

Summoners were divided into four types. The strongest were Necromancers, followed by Elemental and Beast Summoners. Wood Summoners were at the bottom of the list.

The reason they were considered useless was their limited and weak summoning skills, not on the same level as other Summoners.

“You’re talking nonsense! Soren is so handsome, he definitely won’t be weak,” the girl with the ponytail retorted indignantly.

The horse-faced boy snorted. “What use is being handsome? Ultimately, strength is what matters. Soren got Wood Summoner, from now on, he’s just trash!”

Other students chimed in, “He’s right. Apart from his looks, Soren is truly useless!”

“Waaah… How can my idol be so weak?” the girl with the ponytail wailed, heartbroken.

…

After his class change, Soren opened his status panel.

Name: Soren Hawthorne

Defense: 10

Agility: 10

Spirit: 10

Experience: 0/100

Health: 200

Skill: Summon Lesser Treant (1)

“Sigh…” Soren let out a deep sigh, walking back to his place with a heavy heart.

Just as the horse-faced boy had said, Wood Summoner was indeed a useless profession.

It only had two skills: summoning a Lesser Treant and summoning a Plant Archer.

The Lesser Treant’s combat power was negligible, useful at most as a scout.

The Plant Archer’s combat power was also quite mediocre, far inferior to a regular Archer.

Furthermore, the second skill wasn't available initially and required a specific skill book to unlock.

Therefore, in the early stages, a Wood Summoner had no combat power, making the “useless” label understandable.

“Soren, Wood Summoner is still a Combat Profession. Look on the bright side,” Wyatt consoled him, seeing Soren’s dejected expression.

Soren gave a wry smile, about to reply, when a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Host detected, class change successful. Infinite Enhancement System installing… Installation complete.]

“System?”

Soren froze, then became excited.

He had been hoping for a system ever since he transmigrated to Aella Earth a year ago.

Finally, his wish had come true.

What functions did this system possess?

Just as Soren was about to ask, the system’s voice rang out again.

[Host’s current level is Iron 1. Only one enhancement function can be obtained. Please choose one from the following three options.]

[Equipment Slot Enhancement: Increases equipment slots tenfold.]

[Mana Regeneration Enhancement: Increases mana regeneration tenfold.]

[Loot Drop Enhancement: Increases equipment drop rate tenfold.]

“Holy crap!” Soren was stunned.

Ten times the equipment slots?

Ten times the mana regeneration?

Ten times the drop rate?

This system was too overpowered.

So overpowered that it seemed unbelievable.

It was common knowledge that after class changing, everyone received an equipment slot, allowing them to equip weapons, armor, speed-boosting boots, and so on.

Equipping different items would increase corresponding attributes, but one could only equip a maximum of six items.

However, with the enhancement, he could equip sixty items! Even if he equipped the weakest iron swords, his attack power would increase significantly.

Even a pig could become powerful with that!

Ten times mana regeneration was also very tempting, especially for professions that required sustained combat.

Ten times the drop rate was equally appealing.

Hunting otherworldly creatures granted experience and a minuscule chance of dropping equipment.

Normally, the probability was less than one percent, practically negligible.

But a tenfold increase made it a very attractive prospect.

Soren liked all three enhancements, but due to the level restriction, he could only choose one.

Which one should he choose?

He had to consider his own situation and choose the most suitable one.

After some deliberation, he ruled out mana regeneration.

As a Wood Summoner, even with enhanced mana regeneration, he could only summon a Lesser Treant, which wouldn’t contribute much to his growth.

Next, he dismissed the loot drop enhancement, ultimately choosing the equipment slot enhancement.

The reason was simple: as a Wood Summoner, he had no combat power.

Without combat power, he couldn’t hunt otherworldly creatures, let alone obtain loot.

Choosing the loot drop enhancement would be pointless.

However, with enhanced equipment slots, he could buy more offensive items and equip them. There were many types of Iron-grade weapons, relatively cheap compared to other equipment.

The cheapest ones seemed to cost less than a thousand Aella Credits. With his current finances, he could grit his teeth and buy thirty of them.

Thirty weapons would significantly increase his attack power, making hunting Iron 1 creatures a breeze.

Having made his decision, Soren replied to the system, “System, I choose Equipment Slot Enhancement.”

[Enhancement successful. Host’s equipment slots increased to sixty. Reminder: Host’s current level is Iron Rank. A maximum of sixty Iron-grade items can be equipped.]

A slight smile curved Soren’s lips. He then asked the system, “System, when can I get the other two enhancements?”

These two enhancements might not be very helpful now, but as he grew stronger, their benefits would become substantial.

[The host will receive an opportunity to choose an enhancement for every major realm advancement.]
