Chapter 58: On The News
Lu Yuan and Wang Xiangxiang were drinking coffee and chatting. Not long after, two beautiful girls walked over, hand in hand.
One of them had long golden wavy hair, while the other had brown wavy hair.
The girl with long wavy golden hair was wearing a green dress. She had a slender figure, delicate collarbones, and skin as white as snow.
The girl with brown hair was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a black lace dress, which made her look cold and elegant.
“Xiangxiang! We’re here. Big Boss Lu Yuan, wow, you’ve become more handsome. Do you have a boyfriend?”
The blonde girl with long wavy hair waved at Wang Xiangxiang, then looked at Lu Yuan with sparkling eyes.
Lu Yuan was confused.
He was stunned for a moment and did not react in time. “Boyfriend?”
Wang Xiangxiang looked at the wavy blonde girl in disdain. “Lu Yuan, ignore Winnie. She’s been reading love stories between men recently.”
Lu Yuan: “???”
He looked at Winnie’s sparkling eyes and felt his scalp go numb.
“I like women, especially beautiful ones!” He said firmly.
“Oh.”
Winnie’s face was full of pity.
Lu Yuan’s face darkened.
Mo Li sat down beside Wang Xiangxiang and waved at Lu Yuan with a smile.”
“Lu Yuan, long time no see.”
“Yes, I am. It’s been a few months, right?”
Lu Yuan had been Mo Li’s deskmate for a period of time. Although they had not spoken much, he was considered the most familiar person in their class besides Zhuo Ming.
The four of them were together, and the three women were chatting.
“Xiangxiang, your skin is getting more and more tender. What skincare products have you been using recently?”
“I recently bought some water from Eternal Love. It’s quite effective. You guys can try it.”
“I’ve used it before. The water was too pungent, and my skin is allergic to it. I even got pimples the last time I used it …”
“…”
Blah, blah, blah.
Lu Yuan sat there expressionlessly and watched them chat, his mind full of question marks.
Wasn’t water supposed to be drunk?
Allergic?
It’s not poisonous, right?
He silently took a sip of coffee and suddenly felt a little tormented.
Not long after, three youths walked over.
The one in the middle was a teenager in a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves. He had short curly black hair and a smile on his face. He looked gentle and refined.
Beside him was a tall, handsome young man in a black T-shirt with a tiger’s head.
The other one was Zhuo Ming, whom Lu Yuan had seen several times in the Land of Origin.
The three of them entered the cafe and looked around.
When they saw Lu Yuan and the others, their eyes lit up and they walked over.
“Brother Yuan! We’re coming!”
Zhuo Ming said with a smile.
The tall young man also smiled and greeted him.
“Brother Yuan, sister Xiangxiang.”
“Lu Yuan, you’ll have to pay today,” the gentle teenager said with a smile.
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. “Gu Yu. Cao Yan. Long time no see.”
“Of course.” Cao Yan smiled. “We’re all genetic warriors. Let’s have more exchanges in the future. Maybe we’ll have to form a party together after we get to Maple City. ”
“That’s right, that’s right. When the time comes, we can form a team together. Brother you Yuan, brother Cao Yan, and sister Xiangxiang will lead the team. Wouldn’t that be killing indiscriminately?”
Gu Yu’s eyes lit up and she said with a smile.
Wang Xiangxiang glanced at Gu Yu and smiled. “Xiao Yuzi, by the time you’re able to go to red maple City, I’m afraid we’ll all be Tier 2 already. You want to party up with us to die?”
Gu Yu’s smile froze, and her face turned bitter.
“Alright, let’s go to the restaurant Winnie mentioned first. You should all be hungry, right?”
Lu Yuan stood up.
The few of them left the coffee shop and walked towards the nine walnuts hotel that Winnie had mentioned.
The nine walnut restaurants were located in a residential alley not far from Jiuhu mall.
“This is the place.”
Winnie smiled as she looked at the second-floor restaurant with only a sliding door. Her long golden hair was shining in the sun.
“It’s so remote. If you didn’t lead the way, we wouldn’t have found it. ”
Mo Li retorted.
“I’m so lucky that you were able to find such a place. ”
Gu Yu was also speechless.
Winnie laughed and was very proud. I can’t say for sure about other places, but there’s no place in south side that I don’t know about!”
“Then let’s go up.”
Cao Yan smiled.
The few of them entered the room. A delicate-looking woman with a white prosthetic on her left hand was sitting behind the counter and playing with her phone.
Seeing Lu Yuan and the others come in, she smiled and said,”
“There’s a few of you, do you have an appointment?”
“Yes, Winnie.”
“Winnie … I found it. It’s the two walnuts private room. Please go upstairs.”
When Lu Yuan heard this name, he had a strange expression.
Even the name of the private room was so convenient?
The group went upstairs and found that the environment upstairs was quite quiet. There was a corridor with private rooms on both sides.
“This is ‘one walnut’, and ‘two walnuts’ are there.”
Winnie led Lu Yuan and the others over with familiarity. She opened the door of the private room, and there were very refreshing wooden chairs inside.
There were also paintings of walnut trees on the walls.
Lu Yuan and the others took their seats.
Wang Xiangxiang looked around and smiled. “What’s good here? Winnie, do you want to order?”
Winnie patted her chest. “Don’t worry. Just leave it to me. I’ll order.”
Lu Yuan looked at the few of them and nodded.
It seemed to be quite reliable.
When Winnie was ordering, Zhuo Ming laughed and patted the table. He coughed lightly and said,”
“Everyone! I have some good news to announce. ”
Everyone looked over.
“What good news?” Cao Yan asked with a smile.
Zhuo Ming raised his eyebrows and said with some exultation,”
“My refinement has reached 40%!”
When they heard this, Winnie, Wang Xiangxiang, and the others, who were ordering food, were stunned.
Wang Xiangxiang looked at Zhuo Ming in surprise.”
“Little Ming, you’re good! You’ve been cultivating quite quickly recently?”
Cao Yan was a little puzzled, “with the speed at which you’re absorbing the spiritual crystals, it should take a few days, right? Is it because of the ruins?”
“You guys know about the remains?” Zhuo Ming was stunned.
Wang Xiangxiang smiled and said, “it’s all over the Battle Network now. A ruin has appeared in the Sandcliff Underground Palace of Sandstone city. ”
“What?” Lu Yuan was stunned. “It’s all over the Battle Network?”
Gu Yu laughed, “Big Boss Lu Yuan, don’t you know? You’re already on the Battle Network. ”
Lu Yuan was confused.
His eyes were wide open, and he was at a loss.
“Me? Use the Battle Network?”
Cao Yan smiled and took out his phone to check.
Not long after, he found a post. With a swipe of his finger, the contents of the phone were projected into the air.
“Ranking of trial ruins in the Sandcliff Underground palace”
“Your name is on this.”
Lu Yuan looked at the content.
“I’m afraid everyone knows that trial ruins have appeared in the Sandcliff Underground Palace. As far as we know, the ruins are divided into genius trials, elite trials, and ordinary trials. Here, the thread’s host had done multiple investigations and listed the trial’s ranking (not guaranteed to be completely accurate). Only one person would be able to enter the genius trial until the entrance of the ruins, and it was impossible to determine who this person was. From high to low, the Elite Trial list is Oing Xing, elite level 3, Sun Qian, elite level 3, Kaman, elite level 3 … Lu Yuan, elite level 2 …”
“Among the human warriors who passed the Elite Trial, there are a few people that I have to focus on here. The first is Lu Yuan. It is said that this person is a newbie who has just awakened. In the short time of more than a month in the Land of Origin, he could actually improve to this level. He is a rare genius. According to the news received by the thread starter, many organizations are paying attention to Lu Yuan and are planning to recruit him. The second one is Sun Qian …”
Lu Yuan quickly found his name on it and even found the evaluation of himself.
His expression was very strange.
I’m on the list directly?
When he spoke directly to Liu Xi and the others earlier, there were quite a few people around. He was afraid that they had heard him? And then someone spread it?
He frowned slightly.
It was a good thing he didn’t directly say that he passed the genius level 1 trial, or else the post would have exploded.
After all, just passing elite level 2 was already a rare genius, so what was passing genius level 1?
Zhuo Ming looked at the ranking and was shocked,”
“It’s really brother Yuan! Brother Yuan is awesome! It actually made the news!”
“The higher-ups even praised Lu Yuan for being a rare genius.”
Wang Xiangxiang held her cheek with her right hand and glanced at Lu Yuan.
When Zhuo Ming heard this, he thought of something and said with a smile,”
“Isn’t that so? You guys know about the Tianfu Financial Group, right? Tianfu Financial group’s Mr. Liu Xi even wanted brother Yuan to join Tianfu Financial Group. Do you know how much he’s willing to pay?”
Zhuo Ming kept Gu Yu in suspense and Gu Yu gave him a tight slap on the back.
Zhuo Ming coughed repeatedly.
“How much? Don’t keep me in suspense. ”
Wang Xiangxiang looked at Lu Yuan with a smile.
Zhuo Ming raised five fingers.
” 500 million! One year!”
“Hiss …”
The crowd gasped.
” 500 million?”
Even Cao Yan and Wang Xiangxiang, the two children from genetic warrior families, were shocked.
Cao Yan smiled bitterly and said,”
“Lu Yuan is too amazing. My dad is now a first rank warrior, but I’m afraid he doesn’t even make one-tenth of Lu Yuan’s annual income.”
Wang Xiangxiang smiled and said,”
“My parents are both second-tier combat masters. The total number of combat masters they have in a year is only a little more than Lu Yuan ‘s. Tsk, tsk … Lu Yuan is too rich!”
“Is it too late for me to suck up to him now?” Mo Li asked with a smile.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. “I didn’t agree to join Tianfu Financial Group.”
Everyone was stunned.
“Why not?” Gu Yu asked. That’s a 500 million annual salary!”
Zhuo Ming slammed the table, his face full of heartache. “I didn’t understand why Brother Yuan rejected me.”
The others were also surprised.
Lu Yuan smiled. “I still want more freedom. You can slowly earn your own money. ”
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
Cao Yan then smiled and shook his head, “is this the way a genius thinks? I can’t understand. ”
Wang Xiangxiang looked at Lu Yuan and said with a smile,”
“I think it’s understandable. Strength is king. With enough strength, even if you don’t want money, others will send it to you. ”
