Chapter 70

The corners of Hu Weng's mouth twitched slightly.

His intuition told him that if it weren't for the reward, Ye Lin probably wouldn't be prepared to pay attention to him.

The moment the two shook hands, the photographers on the side hurriedly took pictures, and Wei Benlu appeared again, revealing a sweet smile to the camera.

"Audience friends, we can see that City Lord Hu is having a friendly exchange with the top scholar, and City Lord Hu has high hopes for this year's Qingcheng top scholar..."

Ye Lin cooperated very well by revealing a polite smile to the camera, and whispered while asking.

"By the way, City Lord, how is the five million given? To my card or cash? I don't have a bank card yet."

Hu Weng was between laughter and tears: "Don't worry, student Ye Lin, this money won't be short for you."

"City Lord Hu, you don't know, I've lived in the slums for more than ten years, I'm afraid of being poor!" Ye Lin said sincerely. "I won't be at ease if I don't get the money in my hands!"

Hu Weng: "..."

Although five million is not a small amount, as the dignified City Lord of Qingcheng, could he owe five million and not pay?

"Xiao Lu, speed up the process, go straight to the award part." Hu Weng said helplessly.

"Okay, City Lord Hu." Wei Benlu obeyed obediently, skipping the tedious process before, and went straight to the award link.

Three etiquette ladies wearing cheongsams came over holding three trays.

"The first reward is five million yuan in cash. This is the encouragement from the Qingcheng official to you. I hope student Ye Lin will guard against arrogance and rashness and create brilliance again."

Hu Weng smiled and handed a large sign written with five million to Ye Lin. The photographer took pictures on the side, and after the photos were taken, Hu Weng handed a card to Ye Lin.

"The second reward is a bundle of epic-grade self-selected skill scrolls!"

As soon as these words came out, many people's pupils shrank violently.

Self-selected skill scrolls, and epic-grade ones at that, this reward is not exactly ungenerous!

This also means that no matter what profession you are, you can choose an epic-grade skill that suits you.

But when Hu Weng handed such a precious scroll to Ye Lin, Ye Lin's mouth twitched upon seeing it. As a Forbidden Spellcaster, skill scrolls were of no use to him at all; they were too hard even for wiping his butt.

But he still reached out and took it; he wouldn't be stupid enough to embarrass Hu Weng in front of everyone.

"The third reward is an entry quota for the Top Scholar Realm."

Hu Weng handed a token to Ye Lin, then explained.

"The Top Scholar Realm, only the top scholars of each city have the opportunity to enter. This realm is extremely special; everyone who enters the realm can possess an immortal body!"

"Holy shit?" Guo Qin on the side exclaimed upon hearing this. "Then in that realm, wouldn't one be able to ignore everything and focus on brushing monsters?"

"Yes, people who walk out of the Top Scholar Realm will not have a level lower than 20." Hu Weng nodded.

"Then why not keep brushing inside, brush to level 99 and then come out? Anyway, you won't die." Guo Qin asked suspiciously.

"Because the monsters in the Top Scholar Realm are limited. After a year of nurturing, it can only be opened once." Zhuge Qianxing explained, then looked at Ye Lin. "This realm is extremely suitable for you."

Ye Lin nodded, and a flash of heat also passed through his eyes. He could go all out, then he wouldn't be polite!

Hu Weng also patted Ye Lin's shoulder hard and said loudly.

"Ye Lin, work hard, strive to help us Qingcheng win the title of national top scholar!"

"Is there also a saying of national top scholar?" Ye Lin asked.

"Of course there is, when coming out of the Top Scholar Realm, the person with the highest level is the national top scholar!" Hu Weng explained.

"Then what reward does the national top scholar have?" Ye Lin asked further; this was what he cared about.

"I don't know about this, after all, our Qingcheng has never produced a national top scholar! But one thing is certain, it must be more generous than the reward for the Qingcheng top scholar."

Hu Weng explained patiently; with Ye Lin's existence, this year is undoubtedly the most hopeful year for Qingcheng.

"Alright!"

Hu Weng saying this, Ye Lin was much more interested.

After Hu Weng left, Zhuge Qianxing called Ye Lin into the room alone.

"Ye Lin, you must remember one thing: don't use forbidden spells that consume life force in the Top Scholar Realm."

"Is it because although the Top Scholar Realm can make people possess an immortal body, it cannot delay the aging of the human body?" Ye Lin asked back.

"Not bad, you are very smart. Also, after coming out of the Top Scholar Realm, return to Qingcheng as soon as possible."

Zhuge Qianxing looked out the window, a large green mantis jumped up and clamped its prey firmly with its pincers.

"Those people, perhaps they will find the Gate of Apocalypse very soon."

"Okay, Teacher."

Ye Lin touched his stomach; inside there, a key was lying quietly.

Early the next morning, Hu Weng appeared again. He brought Ye Lin to the core place of Qingcheng, where a teleportation array was lying quietly.

All the cities within the Da Xia territory are interconnected by teleportation arrays. After all, there are terrifying monsters everywhere outside the city, and the high-speed rail and airplanes of the past simply wouldn't work; they would be intercepted by monsters halfway.

Every time the teleportation array is activated, it consumes a huge amount of resources, so let alone ordinary people, many class-changers have never left the city where they were born in their whole lives.

If it weren't for Ye Lin, this top scholar, Hu Weng wouldn't be willing to activate the teleportation array either.

"Student Ye Lin, work hard!"

Amidst Hu Weng's encouraging voice, the teleportation array lit up with light, dazzling and eye-catching.

The scene in front of Ye Lin shattered like a puzzle, and his whole person seemed to be soaring in the air, feeling a strong sense of weightlessness, making him extremely uncomfortable.

When the scene in front of him was pieced back together, Ye Lin had already arrived at a completely strange place.

Having been in this world for so long, this was the first time Ye Lin had left Qingcheng.

Ye Lin blinked, looked up, and in his line of sight, a towering city wall appeared, rising into the clouds, as if a huge mountain range was lying across the horizon.

On the city wall, flags were fluttering, embroidered with a fierce giant dragon, ferocious and domineering.

Outside the city wall was a boundless group of monsters, roaring and growling, constantly hitting the city wall, but they couldn't cross the thunder pool by a single step.

Ye Lin stood frozen on the spot; he had never seen such a magnificent scene, this was a world he had never imagined in Qingcheng.

The prosperity of the big city, the terror of the monsters, and that strange aura rushing toward him all made him feel shocked.

He took a deep breath, calming his constantly surging emotions.

Just at this moment, a gentle voice rang out behind Ye Lin.

"You must be Ye Lin, the top scholar of this year from Qingcheng, right? Welcome to Shencheng, come over here and register."
