Chapter 92

The window of the office on the third floor.

Yue Lingsu watched the taxi slowly drive away, a faint smile rising on her lips.

"Principal An has made his decision; then matters are settled…"

"Little Brother Luo, I look forward to our next meeting."

Fang Yue returned to the office and came to the window, saying: "Sister Su, shouldn't we tell Uncle Yue about this?"

"The old man is busy right now!"

Yue Lingsu smiled slightly: "Little Yue, you should go back to Donghai tomorrow!"

"What…? You want me to leave right after arriving? You're heartless!"

"Obey me—Longshan City is going to become unstable."

…

Luo Chenyu returned home after eating.

Lying on the sofa, he reflected on his gains from the Secret Realm, his heart filled with joy.

Besides reaching Level 12, he had equipment, skills, treasures, and Xuan Dragon Coins in abundance.

Most importantly,

He obtained a wondrous item: 【Eternal Token】!

Previously, when entering the First Transformation trial, his mind had gained some information about 【Eternal Tower】.

A professional holding the 【Eternal Token】, after completing three trials, may enter the "Eternal Arena"; if he earns a ranking in the "Eternal Arena," he may even obtain a legendary artifact.

The First Transformation trial was very "simple": just enter a circular arena and kill four Tier 2 ferocious beasts.

He entered and immediately activated 【Steel Shield】, slaughtering them instantly.

The reason it took so long was merely because he was receiving the information from the 【Eternal Token】.

As for rewards, besides +50 to all attributes, he received a scroll.

【Eternal Engraving Scroll】 (SSS-rank): Permanently engrave skills attached to equipment, treasures, totems, etc., without consuming your own skill slots; after activation, the item vanishes.

A hidden treasure.

Some special equipment, treasures, totems, etc., carry extremely powerful skills—some even qualify as bugs; if engraved, even switching gear won't matter.

Most importantly,

It doesn't consume your own skill slots.

Perfect!

The only drawback from the Secret Realm journey: the SSS-rank quest event is marked as completed, but must be submitted to the Lich Archmage Andre.

"Like hell I'll go find him—that guy looks like trouble!"

After resting for a while,

Luo Chenyu went to his bedroom and turned on the computer.

He began checking areas nearby suitable for leveling up.

His requirements were simple: more monsters, fewer people; monster level wasn't a high priority.

Anyway… anything under Level 50 is fine!

"This place is good; hey… this one's also great; there are a few beginner dungeons nearby too—definitely worth trying."

After searching for over ten minutes, Luo Chenyu finally determined his next leveling location.

As he was about to shut down the computer, a pop-up window appeared—not an ad, but real-time news from Longshan City.

"Wang Ziquan is running for a position in the General Enforcement Corps?"

Seeing this news, Luo Chenyu immediately frowned.

The Wang family really won't leave him alone—they're everywhere.

"He's got Tier 5 strength right after graduation; his profession must be no ordinary one!"

"I hope the principal's words are true—if this gets out, I can't stay in Longshan City!"

…

Not long after, Luo Chenyu hurried off to level up.

Strength is the most important thing.

If he were currently a Tier 8 powerhouse, even wiping out the Wang family wouldn't matter!

One hour later,

Luo Chenyu stepped off the bus and followed the mountain path into the depths of Yangshan.

The depths of Yangshan are occupied by the Owl Beast race; Owl Beasts are a large group near Longshan City, ranging from Level 1 monsters to over Level 70.

Moreover, they are communal monsters, often moving in groups of over a hundred.

Most people truly dare not venture deep into Yangshan.

But—he is not ordinary.

After detouring a distance, he spotted several professionals in his line of sight, teaming up to hunt monsters.

Those professionals also noticed the sudden arrival of Luo Chenyu and turned to look at this unexpected guest.

"The quiet one?"

One girl's face showed surprise: "Didn't you go leveling with Teacher Chen? Why are you alone in Yangshan?"

"Zhou Xiaoying?"

Luo Chenyu recognized the girl—the class beauty from Class 15, who had awakened the special profession of Beast Summoner.

Most importantly, this little girl was the former's secret crush.

Tsk tsk tsk…

Sharp eyes, and a pretty face too.

Too bad the plane landed smoothly.

"You didn't pair up with Chen Laoshi either."

"I'm different!" Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said, "Up ahead is the first-rotation Direbeast zone—it's very dangerous. How about you level up with us?"

But… the moment Zhou Xiaoying's words left her mouth, a dissenting voice rang out not far away.

"Young Lady Zhou, that won't do. Your father only paid for your fees—he didn't pay for his."

"It's fine. When we get back I'll have my dad transfer you the money."

Zhou Xiaoying had a very good impression of Luo Chenyu. He had blocked plenty of trouble from her suitors for her, letting her study in peace.

Besides, he had earned an SSSS rating on the newbie dungeon—his strength was formidable.

"I disagree!"

"Exactly. We paid the same money. Add one more person and our experience drops."

"I need to hit level five today—I can't let him into the party."

"Zhou Xiaoying, you can't be that selfish!"

"Ahem, actually I think we could let Luo Chenyu join the party, after all—"

"Shut it. You—a salted-fish priest—have no right to speak."

"…"

Zhou Xiaoying's brows knit tightly; for a moment she didn't know what to do. Before setting out, her father had urged her to keep relations with her party members smooth and not throw a Young Lady's tantrum.

On one side, classmates; on the other, teammates.
