BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122: 122: Buying Tickets and Running
For the head of the Fan Family, he was still hoping to leverage their marriage connections to involve Zi Liyuan in this affair.
On the surface, Zi Liyuan appeared amiable, but deep down he was scoffing at the matter.
Thinking of marriage as a transaction with clearly marked prices, he sold four daughters and then shamelessly hoped to maintain the marriage connection He’d seen people with thick skin, but never one with a skin as thick as citv walls.
Indeed, those capable of being family heads, as long as it profited the clan, what did they need a good face for? A face wasn’t worth a darn Dragon Coin! Fortunately, the banquet only lasted until noon, and Zi Liyuan indicated he had many matters to attend to and excused himself.
Believing that they had secured a great advantage and could continue to use the four sisters to tie Zi Liyuan to the marriage alliance, which was like securing a solid backing for the Fan Family in the future, the Fan Family head naturally was accommodating.
Thus, Zi Liyuan, accompanied by the four Fan sisters and after bidding farewell to their mother, left the Fan Family and went directly to where Shen Yurou lived.
A scene of conflict? That was impossible.
At least when Shen Yurou saw him arriving with four sisters who were as beautiful as flowers and all looked identical, she was completely taken aback. “Zi Liyuan, what’s the meaning of this?”
After letting people into the house, Shen Yurou quietly poked Zi Liyuan in the side and quietly started to ask questions.
The four sisters of the Fan Family, the eldest sister Fan Yuer, the second sister Fan Runer, the third sister Fan Binger, and the youngest sister Fan Qinger, from now on, they’re your elder sisters. Just like you, they are all workers under my command.”
With thousands of Spirit Value points, and the investigative ability of the ‘Eyes of Death’, Zi Liyuan could barely distinguish the four sisters from each other based on their different auras.
After signing the Boundary Sea Contract, unless Zi Liyuan became a Lord and voluntarily released them from the contract constraint, they would not be able to betray him. Otherwise, they would be subject to divine punishment by the rules of the Sea of Realms, making their souls scatter.
With the assurance of the Boundary Sea Contract, Shen Yurou’s attitude softened a tiny bit. However, seeing the identical faces of the four sisters and their diverse auras, her mood soured in an instant.
Zi Liyuan really had a venomously keen eye-finding not one but four vixens. She couldn’ t help but fear they were here to compete for the position of his main woman!
“Xiao Yurou, how did you do on the vocational high school exam this morning?”
I engraved and produced actual items based on the three blueprints ‘Firearm Pistol Type-One (Blue)’, ‘Firearm Pistol Magazine (White)’, and ‘Basic Gunpowder Bullets (White)’, and after handing them in, I achieved first place among the Mechanics.”
Shen Yurou excitedly finished speaking while taking out nine invitation cards, deliberately arranging them in a line in front of Zi Liyuan to show off.
Looking at the Dragon Academy invitation card among them, Zi Liyuan’s face immediately darkened, and he had a moment of silent cursing to himself, unsure whether he should voice it or not.
He had worked so hard for so long, and despite the high school exams ending, he still hadn’t managed to get that invitation card, feeling a persistent irritation.
Dammit! In this Dragon Academy’s assessment, I must smash the historical record and instill a deep-seated fear in all those prodigies who got their invitation cards!
As someone secretly vowed this, the look he gave Shen Yurou was filled with frustration, almost wishing he could pin her down and give her a good rub.
“Very good. Now pack up your things, handle your personal affairs, and we will set off for the Capital of the Holy Dragon Province tomorrow to take part in the Dragon Academy’s assessment.”
“When it comes to the assessment, should I directly participate in the combat occupation assessment, or would it be better to go for the lifestyle occupation assessment?”
The skill tree that appeared when she awakened and changed her class to Mechanic was all related to mechanical creation and other skills, with the vast majority being of a supportive nature.
Therefore, Shen Yurou’s combat power relied entirely on the equipment she developed herself, which had significant shortcomings. She lacked confidence when it came to taking the combat occupation assessment.
Similarly, passing the Dragon Academy assessment as a lifestyle occupation Mechanic was also very difficult, as there hadn’t been any Mechanics recruited by the Dragon Academy in previous years.
What are you thinking about? Of course, you need to participate in both!
The Dragon Academy assessment for combat occupations involves braving the Secret Realm Tower. With your current strength, just stock up on silver bombs and blast your way through-it’ll be a breeze.
As for the lifestyle occupation assessment, you just need to carve out the schematics for the ‘Gunpowder Time Bomb (Green),’ ‘Timed Detonation Bomb (Blue),’ and ‘Timed High-Explosive Fragmentation Bomb (Silver),’ and then create the actual items before submitting them.
I refuse to believe that the assessment staff at Dragon Academy are all TM blind!”
Why did Shen Yurou manage to secure the top spot among Jiangnan Province Mechanics in the lifestyle occupation category if not for the ‘Gunpowder Handgun – Type One (Blue) ‘-a universal piece of equipment that had no usage restrictions and that anyone could play with?
The value of this equipment is so high that anyone who isn’t blind would understand, which is why Shen Yurou’s first-place result was well deserved.
Similarly, the three different types of bombs-all varying in quality-shared the nature of the ‘Gunpowder Handgun – Type One (Blue)’ schematic but were even more valuable!
To be able to research such schematics, and for anyone with eyes to see that they belong to a series of related items, is a clear sign of unparalleled genius. Wouldn’t it be absurd for Dragon Academy to not recruit such a talent-do they think their teachers have become extinct?
Once you pass both assessments, you can negotiate terms with Dragon
Academy, taking combat occupation as your primary occupation and Mechanic as your secondary. That way, you can have the academy provide resources for your Mechanic progression.”
Details on how to proceed would need further discussion, but for now, the most critical task for the two of them was to pass the Dragon Academy assessment.
Zi Liyuan was full of confidence in his abilities, sure that passing the assessment was a sure thing.
Shen Yurou wasn’t confident in herself, but Zi Liyuan was certain she would pass, and not just one but both assessments simultaneously. By then, she would indeed be unique in Dragon Academy.
There had never been a precedent in Dragon Academy’s history for someone who was both a lifestyle occupationist and a combat occupationist to pass the academy’s assessment at the same time.
After leaving the Fan Family Four Sisters with Shen Yurou, Zi Liyuan quickly ran off to the City Defense Bureau.
He found someone to provide a certificate for the explosion at his house and, after splashing out half a million in small change, he hired a five-person squad from the city guard to accompany him to the Green Garden residential complex. With such poor security quality that had led to his kidnapping and the bombing of his villa, how could he calm his rage without squeezing out a substantial sum from the property security company?
The residential complex’s property security company, which had wanted to shirk responsibility, had no choice but to concede and compensate Zi Liyuan fully for his villa under the watchful eyes of the city guard, and even paid extra for emotional distress.
Hm, spending half a million to recoup twenty million Dragon Coins, with about five million extra, felt pretty satisfying.
After receiving the compensation, Zi Liyuan treated the five-member city guard squad to a big meal as a gesture of thanks.
Then he ran to the only flying port in White Crane City and purchased a first- class ticket on a floating airship for tomorrow morning, flaunting that money was no object!
