Worldwide Class Change: Minimal Effort, Maximum Reward!-Chapter 152, One Drop of Effort, Ten Thousand Times Reward!
[Level Up! — Level 200 → Level 201]
[Level Up! — Level 201 → Level 202]
[Level Up! — Level 202 → Level 203]
[Level Up! — Level 203 → Level 204]
[Level Up! — Level 204 → Level 205]
Level 205. The worm’s Apex bonus multiplied by the standard amplification had produced an EXP total that consumed five level thresholds above 200 simultaneously, the exponential cost curve at the 200-plus bracket steeper than anything below it but still insufficient to contain a 1000 multiplier applied to an apex-class kill bonus at the unregistered rate.
He looked at the notifications in sequence. Then the system produced one more.
----
[THRESHOLD CROSSED — LEVEL 200]
[System Enhancement Unlocked] 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
[Reward Amplification — Updated]
[Previous Amplification Rate: ×1000]
[New Amplification Rate: ×10,000]
[One drop of effort. Multiplied by ten thousand.]
[This enhancement applies retroactively to all future reward calculations from this point forward.]
-----
He read it twice.
Not because he doubted the content. Because the scale of the change required its own moment of acknowledgment. One thousand had produced most of everything had happened. The tournament. The regional examination. The Dragon God Tower record. Heavenly Phoenix Academy’s first-place rankings. The entire accelerated arc of the past year, from E-Rank Laborer to level 205 in the Allheaven Expanse, all of it had been built on a thousand-times amplification.
The system had just replaced that with ten thousand.
He stood on the island surface and processed this with the same stillness he brought to most significant information.
"One drop of effort," he said quietly. "Ten thousand."
He then opened the full system panel.

-----------------
He looked at the EXP bar. 205 to 206 required 890,000,000. At the previous 1,000x amplification, a level monster giving 500 base EXP would produce 500,000 per kill. Enough progress, but not fast. At the new 10,000x amplification, the same monster would produce 5,000,000 per kill.
He needed to test it.
"Let’s go," he said.
The Greater Qilin lowered itself. He mounted. The qilin activated Heaven Step, the optimized version carrying them both across the island gap to the nearest cluster with the efficient spatial transition that had become the standard traversal mode since the qilin developed it.
They landed on the entry island of a mid-tier cluster. The system prompt registered the resident before he had fully dismounted.

[Ashenveil Predator]
Level: 143
HP: 76,400 / 76,400
Physical Attack: 1,840–2,120
Physical Defense: 1,660–1,920
Magic Resistance: 1,260–1,500
[A predator native to the higher atmospheric layers of the Allheaven Expanse. Generates a constant suppressive gravity field. Primary attack is a diving strike. Weak point: membrane between wing joints.]
----
Level 143. He released Celestial Sword Qi in the concentrated single-target mode. One strike.
The Ashenveil Predator dissolved.
The notification appeared.
[Ashenveil Predator Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +20,600]
[Reward Amplification Triggered — ×10,000]
[New EXP Gained: +206,000,000]
He looked at the number. 206,000,000. From a single level 143 elite. A quarter of the current level threshold from one strike against a monster that was sixty-two levels below him.
Then the level notification appeared.
[Level Up! — Level 205 → Level 206]
One kill. One level.
He stood on the island surface for a moment and looked at the notification with the specific attention of someone confirming that what they expected to happen has happened exactly as expected. Then he looked at the next island.
"One drop of effort," he said. "Ten thousand."
He moved.
The cluster clearing that followed was different from every clearing that had preceded it in the expanse. The worm engagement, the guardian kills, the volcanic basin with thirty thousand lions, all of it had been significant on the previous amplification. On the current one, the numbers were entering a range that was truly heaven defying.
[Void Stalker ×12 | Level 148 — Elite Pack]
Wide arc release. All twelve.
[Void Stalker ×12 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +25,200 × 12 = +302,400]
[Reward Amplification Triggered — ×10,000]
[New EXP Gained: +3,024,000,000]
[Level Up! — Level 206 → Level 207]
[Level Up! — Level 207 → Level 208]
Two levels from twelve monsters. The exponential cost curve at the 200-plus bracket was steep, each level requiring more than the previous by a multiplier that grew with every threshold crossed. But 10,000x amplification applied to twelve simultaneous kills was consuming two thresholds at once.
He crossed to the next island without pausing.
[Celestial Dreadhorn ×21 | Level 153 — Rare Elite]
HP: 168,400 / 168,400 each
Twenty-one rare elites. Wide arc with domain amplification.
[Celestial Dreadhorn ×21 Defeated — Rare Elite Bonus ×21]
[EXP Gained: +54,800 × 21 = +1,150,800]
[Reward Amplification Triggered — ×10,000]
[New EXP Gained: +11,508,000,000]
[Level Up! — Level 208 → Level 209]
[Level Up! — Level 209 → Level 210]
[Level Up! — Level 210 → Level 211]
[Level Up! — Level 211 → Level 212]
[Level Up! — Level 212 → Level 213]
Five levels from twenty-one monsters. He moved through the cluster’s interior without stopping, the kill intervals returning to the forty-second rhythm he had established in the early Allheaven grinding sessions, each interval now producing results that made the previous amplification feel like a different operating mode entirely.
[Gravestone Colossus ×6 | Level 150]
[Gravestone Colossus ×6 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +32,000 × 6 = +192,000]
[Amplification: ×10,000]
[New EXP Gained: +1,920,000,000]
[Level Up! — Level 213 → Level 214]
[Nebula Titan ×9 | Level 158]
[Nebula Titan ×9 Defeated]
[EXP Gained: +38,400 × 9 = +345,600]
[Amplification: ×10,000]
[New EXP Gained: +3,456,000,000]
[Level Up! — Level 214 → Level 215]
[Level Up! — Level 215 → Level 216]
