4: Don't get caught by me.

Chapter 4: Don't Get Caught Alone

Meanwhile, Qin Wuyao was in the living room, flipping through profession information.

The middle-aged man beside her was a bit anxious, urging, "What's so good about looking at profession information? I've arranged for someone to help you level up. Let's level up first!"

Qin Wuyao calmly replied, "Dad, what's the rush? Anyway, I'm a hidden profession, and the Tiandao Alliance will be recruiting in a month. I'm guaranteed to get in."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie's eyes widened.

He angrily said, "In a month, the one responsible for recruiting people from Blackfire Academy for the Tiandao Alliance will be me, your father! If your level isn't as high as other professions by then, I'll lose face!"

Qin Wuyao chuckled.

She put away the profession information and slowly said, "Alright, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll go to the wilderness to level up."

Just as her voice fell, a ding sound came from Qin Wuyao's communicator.

She opened it, took a look, and then froze in place.

The message was very short: Miss, Lu Ran has exited the training ground. He... he's Level 5!

At the dinner table, Qin Lie saw Qin Wuyao spacing out.

He couldn't help but urge, "What are you spacing out for? Hurry and eat. After dinner, I'll have someone take you to the wilderness to level up. Try to reach Level 5 before dark, and then you can enter dungeons."

Qin Wuyao snapped out of it.

Her mind was still full of the news her arranged contact had brought her.

Originally, Qin Wuyao just felt that Lu Ran, with 130 points of mental power, shouldn't be just an ordinary Undead Mage. She only thought that Lu Ran's innate four-dimensional attributes might be higher than others.

But what was going on now?

Lu Ran entered the beginner training ground that no one dared to enter!

Not only did he enter, but he came out in just two hours, and... and he was Level 5!

This was several times faster than the speed at which other families arranged for high-level players to bring new players in the wilderness!

"Dad, do you know about the beginner training ground?" Qin Wuyao couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you asking about that? I'm warning you, the beginner training ground is extremely dangerous. Even with careful play, the death rate is very high. Although the monsters give more experience, the monster-killing speed is very slow, completely incomparable to having someone take you in the wilderness, or even leveling up by yourself in the wilderness!" Qin Lie said with a serious expression.

He thought Qin Wuyao wanted to try the beginner training ground.

Qin Wuyao looked at Qin Lie in astonishment.

She continued, "What if a beginner, who just awakened their profession, went to the training ground and leveled up to Level 5 after two hours? Is that... possible?"

"Possible my ass!" Qin Lie said without hesitation. "Even if a hidden profession went to the training ground, on the premise of luckily not dying, let alone two hours, they wouldn't reach Level 5 even in ten hours! Do you think the training ground is a joke?"

Gulp~

Qin Wuyao swallowed her saliva.

A hidden profession couldn't reach Level 5 in ten hours in the beginner training ground?

But Lu Ran did it!

He truly did it!

"What about an Undead Mage then?" Qin Wuyao continued to ask.

"An Undead Mage's initial skill can only summon two Skeleton Soldiers, and the cooldown is ten minutes. If the two Skeleton Soldiers die, the Undead Mage can only wait to die in place! Want to level up? Dream on!" Qin Lie said unceremoniously.

Although that was true, Qin Wuyao could understand it.

But how did Lu Ran do it?

"I will absolutely not allow you to enter the beginner training ground. Don't even think about it!" Qin Lie added.

After speaking, he seemed to think of something else.

He continued to ask, "Oh right, Yaoyao, besides you, are there any other promising talents you think are good from this profession awakening?"

Qin Wuyao shrugged and said, "There is one."

"Oh? Who is it?" Qin Lie's eyes lit up.

"I can't tell you yet," Qin Wuyao mused.

"What's there to hide? Besides you, there are only five rare professions in total. I'm just asking how those five are," Qin Lie said, taking it for granted.

"Oh, those five? I don't know them, not familiar," Qin Wuyao immediately shook her head.

"Who else could it be? It's absolutely impossible for a regular profession to join the Tiandao Alliance!" Qin Lie said.

Phew~

Qin Wuyao opened her communicator and sent a message: Keep an eye on Lu Ran!

Then she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and said seriously, "I'll go level up after dinner!"

On Lu Ran's side, after leaving the Central Square, Lu Ran was about to go eat. Passing by Tian Yuan Restaurant, Lu Ran stopped.

This was the most upscale restaurant in Black Fire City.

It was said that the chefs working there were all high-level lifestyle profession master chefs!

Moreover, the head chef on the top floor was even a hidden profession Elemental Demon Chef!

The dishes he prepared could even increase attribute points!

Of course, the price of each dish was also exorbitant!

Let alone ordinary people, even wealthy bigwigs might not be able to afford it!

Even the ordinary dishes here, besides being extremely delicious, could also provide temporary beneficial buffs, and only the powerful elites of Black Fire City were qualified to consume them.

Lu Ran, of course, was not qualified to enter.

He was just passing by, planning to go eat in the Poverty Area.

He still had over a hundred gold coins in his pocket, which was enough for a good meal in the Poverty Area.

After changing professions, making money became much simpler. The most direct way was to farm equipment, and gold coins could also be picked up in dungeons.

But just as he lifted his foot, he saw Liang Shaoyu approaching with Wang Yujiao and a few lackeys.

Seeing Lu Ran at a glance, Liang Shaoyu immediately became interested.

For three years in the academy, he couldn't win over Wang Yujiao. Now that he had gained power, and Lu Ran, once hailed as a genius and the center of attention, had become an ordinary Undead Mage, Liang Shaoyu naturally enjoyed regaining face from Lu Ran and showing off his superiority.

But Lu Ran was clearly too lazy to satisfy Liang Shaoyu.

He was about to pass by.

But he was blocked by Liang Shaoyu, who moved two steps sideways in front of him.

"What a coincidence, Young Master Lu, aren't you going to level up?" Liang Shaoyu said in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Ran looked at him indifferently, saying nothing.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you quite arrogant before? Tsk tsk tsk... 130 points of mental power, and in the end, this is all you amount to?"

"What's with your set of white-grade equipment? Are you that poor?"

"Look at us, we're in blue-grade equipment. I bet you can't even afford one piece, can you?"

"It's only been a little over two hours, and we're almost Level 3. What about you?"

...

Liang Shaoyu prattled on.

"Get lost!" Lu Ran said coldly.

"What did you say?" Liang Shaoyu raised an eyebrow.

He was trying to feel superior, how could he tolerate such defiance from Lu Ran?

He immediately motioned to the few people behind him, and they surrounded Lu Ran.

Wang Yujiao bit her lip lightly beside them, looking at Lu Ran, but from beginning to end, Lu Ran didn't even spare her a glance, as if she didn't exist.

Just then, Qin Wuyao suddenly walked over. Without a word, she kicked Liang Shaoyu in the waist.

The kick was quite powerful, and Liang Shaoyu was immediately sent sprawling.

He angrily turned his head, about to curse, but upon realizing it was Qin Wuyao, his expression instantly stiffened. He awkwardly scrambled to his feet, not daring to speak.

Qin Wuyao said indifferently, "Lu Ran is an Undead Mage, but you're just an ordinary Berserker. What are you showing off about?"

"N-nothing..." Liang Shaoyu said with a forced smile, still not daring to resist.

He just gave Lu Ran a venomous look and said, "Alright, Lu Ran, you'd better not get caught alone."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lu Ran's eyes.

He thought, you'd better not get caught alone by me either.

Otherwise, I'll send dozens of Skeleton Soldiers to Corpse Explosion you, leaving not even a speck of dust!
