What she was considering now concerned Caelan’s future development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on her past experience, little Caelan had likely awakened some truly remarkable class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of my cousin—definitely not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Caelan had already prepared dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his cousin was a lazy woman, her tastes were extremely picky. Fortunately, Caelan knew her well enough to perfectly cater to Talia’s preferences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a whirlwind of eating, Talia narrowed her eyes, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear cousin, with cooking skills like yours, even if you hadn’t awakened a class, you’d never have to worry about making a living.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this... why don’t you just become my personal chef from now on? Sounds good, doesn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan froze for a moment and gave her a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Cousin... do you actually have the money to pay my salary?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talia paused, then an awkward expression surfaced on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... I am your cousin. Talking about money like that is a bit too distant, don’t you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t that hurt our relationship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she seemed to remember something. She rummaged around in her pocket, then pulled out a semi-transparent card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, take this. It’s my ex-boyfriend’s legion application card. I’ll give it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he hadn’t planned on joining any legion in the first place. He had intended to be a lone wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... at his current stage, there really weren’t any better Instance options available. If he joined a legion, he could at least clear legion-exclusive Instances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, completing legion missions would grant generous rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of consideration, Caelan made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, as he accepted the translucent card, a doubtful thought crept into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cousin’s ex-boyfriends... aren’t they all first-class suckers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A legion chosen by someone with that kind of intelligence—can it really be reliable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With suspicion lingering in his heart, Caelan examined the information on the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironclad Legion Invitation Card\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legion: Ironclad Legion\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier: Special Class (Highest)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jurisdiction: Eastern Border\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legion Traits: [Iron Armor], [Hot-Blooded], [Inspiration], [Heart of Steel]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: After using the card, you may directly accept the Ironclad Legion’s trial mission. Upon completion, you will become an official member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s not joking this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan was stunned. In his memory, this was one of the very few times his cousin had acted this reliably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides... how could someone like her possibly have an ex-boyfriend from the Ironclad Legion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ironclad Legion was one of the top legions among all of humanity. Every single member was elite among elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such an outstanding individual fall for his lazy cousin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, your ex-boyfriend was actually something else,\" Caelan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well that the semi-transparent card in his hand alone was worth no less than ten million gold coins—and that was assuming one could even find a buyer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for most Awakeners, even passing the Ironclad Legion’s initial screening was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Talia waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something else? Please. He was a complete waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear cousin, you clearly don’t understand just how charming I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me put it this way—among my ex-boyfriends, he doesn’t even rank that high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke with a smug expression, as proud as a peacock showing off its feathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan, meanwhile, could only shrug helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, after living together for so many years, he had never noticed anything particularly outstanding about his cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, she was beautiful—but what good was beauty alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lazy woman like her... it was probably just that her ex-boyfriends hadn’t yet discovered her true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, Caelan didn’t know much about legions in general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, he asked, \"Cousin, do you think it’s a good idea for me to join a legion at this stage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talia paused, then nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even know how good the benefits are in the Ironclad Legion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you—ever since the game descended, communication between city-states has become extremely difficult. Traveling between different cities costs a huge amount of gold coins, just to buy portal usage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But once you join the Ironclad Legion, you can use portals for free and travel to any city you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On top of that, you’ll get access to legion-exclusive Instances, plus all kinds of mission rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused for a moment before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And most importantly, once you reach a certain rank, you’ll start receiving a monthly welfare stipend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about it—once you have that stipend, wouldn’t you be able to forget about a salary and obediently become my chef?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We could even use your welfare money to completely lie flat and enjoy life. Just imagining it makes me feel happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Talia’s explanation, Caelan felt the corner of his mouth twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after saying all that—and even screwing over an ex-boyfriend—she’s just eyeing my future welfare money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dear cousin... can you please act like a human being?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I just your personal slave in your eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his urge to complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how he looked at it, joining a legion at this stage wasn’t a bad idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll go take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before that, I still need to represent the academy in this year’s Ranked Match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, what are your plans next? I remember you saying earlier that you quit your job again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what about the salary you earned during this time? According to our agreement, you should contribute part of it to household expenses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talia froze, her gaze immediately beginning to dart around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... my dear cousin, didn’t I tell you already? The boss at my last job was a total pervert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that. I’m going to look for a new job. I won’t be coming home for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear cousin, good luck in the Ranked Match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1082,"2026-06-03T07:00:22.893Z","2026-06-03T07:00:29.236Z",1,"novelbin.me","a67e6ee5d46be893e5aaab28c0c3fc1f4c0e4c3159e02b1f088cac47b521cf03","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-25","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-23",385,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmax-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-cover.jpg"]
