Frost Cave

However, even so, the Lin Family was nearing its end in the past six years. The other two great families were restless and seemed to be ready to attack them at any time.

"It seems that Mother didn't come back today."

Looking at the empty living room, he took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart before walking into his room.

Like most of the elders in the family, his mother had been busy managing the few remaining industries and companies.

She could only come back on Sunday.

Lin Xiu was already used to this. After all, he could not help much now. What he could do was increase his strength as soon as possible.

It was just that today, he had completed his awakening and gotten a Class. He had no one to share the joy in his heart, so he still felt a little lonely.

After tidying up the books on the table, Lin Xiu went to the living room and took out a few ingredients from the refrigerator to cook dinner for himself.

The night was a little long for him.

After dinner, Lin Xiu took out his phone. He wanted to share this happy thing with his mother, but he was worried that calling would disturb his mother's work.

After thinking for a moment, he settled for the next best thing and sent a text message to his mother.

The content of the text message was also very simple. He truthfully explained that he had Awakened two Classes and that he was going to the Catacombs tomorrow to experience actual combat and adventure.

It was just that Lin Xiu did not mention anything about the Divine Forgemaster.

He was worried that his mother would unconsciously leak the information after she knew about it. At the same time, he did not want his mother to worry about him after she found out.

After all, if the two families knew of his identity as a Special Class, those beasts would probably do everything they could to get rid of him in order to prevent any more trouble.

The night gradually spread and dyed the entire sky. Lin Xiu turned on the lights and sat alone at the desk, continuing to read the books that he had not finished reading yesterday.

In terms of learning, he did not need anyone to supervise him. He could completely immerse himself in the world of books by relying on the obsession and love in his heart.

Most of the books he read were specialized knowledge that was difficult to digest.

There were 'Professional Introduction to All Knight Skills', 'The Linkage Effect between Skills', and 'Analysis of Monster Aggro and Blocking Depth', etc.

After all, in order to win a battle, the enemy's information and one's own strength were indispensable.

If one did not even know the effects of the enemy's skills, then one would be completely blind in battle. It would be strange if one could win.

However, because there were too many Combat Classes in the real world, most people only knew a portion of the skills of the six basic Classes.

A lot of knowledge was still in the blank stage.

Even though Lin Xiu had been studying for several years, he was only slightly better than his peers. However, there were still many things that he did not understand.

By the time he finished reading the book in his hand, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

He blinked his eyes, which were a little sore, and got up to wash up in the bathroom.

"With these preparations, tomorrow's Catacombs adventure should be foolproof."

Returning to his room and looking at the densely packed notes in his notebook, Lin Xiu felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Dragging his tired body back to bed, Lin Xiu fell asleep not long after.

Today was the day of Awakening, and Lin Xiu was so nervous that he did not sleep for long last night. In addition, his mood had fluctuated too much this morning, and he had trained for a few hours in the afternoon. His physical strength had long been exhausted.

After lying on the bed for less than five minutes, only his even breathing could be heard.

Late at night, the surroundings were completely silent.

In the forest behind the house, the buds that had just broken through the soil tried their best to stretch their leaves and face the sky, waiting for the morning dew that would soon arrive.

Time passed bit by bit until dawn. The darkness in the sky slowly receded, revealing a faint white.

At eight o'clock in the morning, because it was the morning rush hour, the main roads in Linyue City became congested again.

Lin Xiu rode his bicycle and shuttled through the various sidewalks, facing the breeze all the way.

After a while, he stopped on a familiar road. He took out some change from his pocket and bought two buns from a breakfast shop on the street.

Today was the day the school organized an adventure in the Catacombs. All the students had to gather at the Academy's square before nine o'clock. Lin Xiu had already stepped through the gates of Fuyuan Academy half an hour ago.

Half an hour passed very quickly. At this moment, in front of the empty space where Class One's classroom was located, the 18 students, including Lin Xiu, had already arrived.

Compared to the other classes that were tens of meters away, there were clearly more students left in Class One.

"When we board the school bus later, everyone stay quiet. The Principal and the Secretary will be attending the Catacombs adventure today. Everyone must strictly follow the rules. No one is allowed to break the rules."

"I don't want to see an argument over the ownership of the equipment in this situation."

Jin Zhengmin said sternly.

"It's almost time. Everyone, line up and follow me," Jin Zhengmin looked at the two school buses that were already at the school gate and immediately said.

Soon, all the students joined the team and walked towards the school gate.

Lin Xiu remained at the back, expressionlessly following the others.

Not long after, several classes, including them, gathered at the school gate. Everyone entered the bus in a single file.

When Lin Xiu was about to get into the car, he saw Jin Zhengmin nodding and bowing as he spoke to two people not far away.

The two of them were about the same height, but one of them was older. His sideburns were a little gray, so he should be the Principal.

The other one was wearing a suit and had a turquoise hairstyle. He should be the Secretary.

"He's pedantic and strict in front of us, but he's as docile as a dog in front of the Principal. He's really a greedy person. Why didn't I notice him before?" Lin Xiu muttered as he turned around and got into the bus.

In the bus, many students had excited expressions on their faces, as if they were looking forward to their first battle.

Lin Xiu glanced around and then found a seat at the back.

The bus quickly started moving, carrying everyone to the Frost Cave ten kilometers away.

Frost Cave was one of the few monster encampments in Silvermoon City.

The monsters in the cave were of a lower level and would not cause any harm, so the City Lord of Silverymoon City did not completely disintegrate it. Instead, he sealed it and used it as a beginner training ground for Classes in the city.

However, even though the monsters in the Frost Cave were relatively weak, they had once buried many novice Classes here. However, as long as one reached level 10, they could basically run amok in the cave.

The bus shook slightly. Looking at the scenery outside the window that kept retreating, Lin Xiu's anticipation was even stronger than nervousness.

He wanted to test how much the Boots of Hermes could increase his strength as soon as possible, and whether it could completely keep him away from danger.
