Rustle!
Two soft beams of white light lit up on Lu Sheng and He Wanying, and the two of them successfully leveled up to LV 4 (536/2000).
The 5 members of Lu Ningyu Team looked at this scene with envy written all over their faces.
They were not in a party with He Wanying, so naturally they did not get a single bit of experience, and when they thought about how the 5 of them had risked their lives for half an hour just to grind away a small half of the monster’s HP, while He Wanying emptied the remaining portion in just 1 minute, this gap was simply despair-inducing.
Lu Ningyu struggled to stand up, took out the last bottle of low-level healing potion from her backpack, and tilted her head back to pour it down while enduring the fishy-sweet taste.
The icy liquid slid down her throat and brought a faint warm current that finally allowed her to recover some strength, and she looked toward He Wanying in the distance whose aura seemed even colder, took a deep breath, and did her best to make her voice sound sincere.
“Classmate He Wanying, thank you!”
She led her teammates to bow solemnly to He Wanying in thanks and said, “We will never forget this life-saving grace!”
After she finished speaking, she paused as if she had made some kind of decision, looked at He Wanying with a burning gaze that carried a hint of flattery and an almost unnoticeable expectation, and said, “We… we still have some supplies and copper coins on us, and although it is not much, please be sure to accept it as a small token of our appreciation!”
This little bit of money did not mean much to her.
The fact that they were still remaining in the Secret Realm after more than 3 hours already proved that the members of Lu Ningyu Team had enough money to buy extra Basic Antidote Pills.
For the 5 of them to stay an extra 2 hours in the Secret Realm, they needed to buy a total of 20 Basic Antidote Pills, which was 10,000 copper coins!
This was a huge sum for ordinary people, but all 5 of them from Lu Ningyu’s group came from well-off families, and although the clothes on their bodies were in tatters at the moment and they looked quite miserable, even if they casually took one piece to sell second-hand, it would still be worth more than that set of street-stall goods Lu Sheng was wearing in the distance.
If she could use a bit of money to build a good relationship with He Wanying, then in the future there was no reason that relationship could not go a step further.
Lu Ningyu thought to herself in delight.
“There is no need to thank me.”
After using her domain skill, all the hair on He Wanying’s body was now snow-white, and she looked just like a white-haired snow maiden.
Her cool voice rang out, and she did not even turn around, as her gaze remained locked on the figure on the high sand dune with both hands in his pockets, as if he were just enjoying the scenery.
“If you want to thank someone…”
She paused slightly, and a trace of gentleness that was almost impossible to notice flashed deep in her icy eyes as she said, “Then thank my master…”
“… Lu Sheng!”
The wind and sand howled, and Lu Ningyu only clearly caught the keyword in the second half of the sentence: “…my Lu Sheng!”
My Lu Sheng?!
Lu Ningyu’s pupils suddenly constricted, and He Wanying had actually admitted it with her own mouth?!
She and Lu Sheng?!
That double E-rank guy?!
A surge of indescribable sourness, jealousy, and disbelief instantly overwhelmed the reason she had just managed to piece together!
On what grounds?! What virtue or ability did that Lu Sheng have?!
However, He Wanying no longer paid any attention to them, and with a light movement of her body, she fluttered back to Lu Sheng’s side like an ice butterfly.
She lowered her head slightly, handed the money pouch that Lu Ningyu had proactively transferred over to Lu Sheng, and said respectfully, “Master, they gave this.”
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows in some surprise, took the heavy money pouch, weighed it in his hand so that it gave off a pleasant clinking of metal, and when he opened it to take a look, he found that there were actually 50 shining silver coins inside!
That was equivalent to 5000 copper coins!
This was also the first time since he grew up that Lu Sheng had seen silver coins with his own eyes.
“Heh, quite generous.”
Lu Sheng chuckled softly and casually put the money pouch away.
He raised his head, let his gaze pass over the sand dune to look at the 5 members of Lu Ningyu’s group below whose expressions were complicated, and a playful smile appeared on his face as he said in a voice that was not loud yet clearly pierced through the wind and sand, “Your intention has been received, classmate Lu.”
He deliberately paused for a moment, let his gaze linger on Lu Ningyu’s face for an instant, and when he saw the obvious unwillingness and resentment that appeared in her eyes after she looked at him, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Because he had remained on the sidelines the whole time, Lu Sheng had taken in everything that had just happened, including the strange look Lu Ningyu gave He Wanying and the reminders from the teammates beside her.
As a qigong practitioner, Lu Ningyu occupied the position of the tank warrior in the team, which in games would be what was called the T.
He had not expected that in real life this girl with fair skin and big eyes who looked quite quiet would also be a T.
You really could not judge people by their appearance.
Lu Sheng muttered this in his heart.
The look Lu Ningyu gave him grew more and more unfriendly, her jealousy almost overflowed and even seemed to carry a hint of sourness, and if there had not been so many people present, Lu Sheng had no doubt that this fellow would have rushed up to challenge him to a duel.
In the future, he, Lu Sheng, would also be able to proudly say that there had once been 2 girls who not only got jealous over him but had almost come to blows.
After thinking about it in a slightly scheming way, the corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile, and he pointed at He Wanying beside him and teased.
“Her Lu Sheng will remember your generosity.”
Lu Ningyu’s face instantly flushed bright red, and Lu Sheng’s meaningful gaze and words were like an invisible slap that ruthlessly smacked her in the face, and he had noticed it, he had definitely noticed it, and this was him mocking her!
“You!” Lu Ningyu was so angry that she almost ground her silver teeth to pieces, yet she could not refute him.
After all, her sexual orientation was out of step with conventional norms at present and was known only to the few people close to her, and being pricked by Lu Sheng’s casual attitude at this moment made her so ashamed and angry that she was on the verge of exploding, yet she had no choice but to suppress it desperately for fear of exposing even the slightest trace.
Looking at Lu Sheng’s appearance of having taken advantage and still acting innocent, with He Wanying obediently standing behind him, she felt as if a surge of pent-up anger was stuck in her chest, making her feel so stifled she was about to explode!
She suddenly turned around and growled at her teammates, whose expressions were just as colorful, “We are leaving!”
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would lose control and rush up to give Lu Sheng a punch.
But she also feared that if she really did that, He Wanying would give her a sword strike, and she did not think she could withstand He Wanying’s terrifying slash.
Watching the 5 members of Lu Ningyu Team leave in embarrassment with a mix of frustration, jealousy, and having narrowly escaped death, Lu Sheng shook his head with a smile and said to He Wanying beside him, “We should continue as well, we cannot let someone else snatch the first points reward.”
A hint of battle intent condensed in He Wanying’s eyes as she nodded lightly and said, “Yes, Master.”
They were in the monitoring room.
Chu Jianghe finally came back to his senses from the immense shock, slammed the table, and stood up, with uncontrollable ecstasy and excitement on his face.
“Good! Excellent, He Wanying! SS-rank! She is definitely at least an SS-rank class holder, and that Lu Sheng as well… his ability…”
He immediately picked up the encrypted communicator, and his voice was urgent and forceful.
“Connect me to the city Profession Administration Bureau director! Emergency report! Lanjiang No. 3 High School has discovered an SS-rank potential seed possessing a domain skill, repeat, an SS-rank potential seed possessing a domain skill has been discovered, and I am requesting a grant code assessment!”
“In addition… there is also a special dual-class holder, a Seeker, who plays a key support role, and I request the activation of the highest-level training program!”
