Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 75 - 73: Lu Lin Doesn’t Understand Romance
Lu Lin quickly found a local potion web store on Saturn and purchased an elixir for 100,000 yuan.
Ah, 100,000 yuan per bottle.
It guarantees instant full body Star Power recovery for First to Third Level Martial Artists, and slowly recovers based on the different levels of Star Warriors in the following hour.
In short, it’s a... very expensive elixir.
Lu Lin suddenly felt like the 95 million bounty he had wasn’t that appealing anymore.
What’s more... if he wanted the 95 million to be credited, he’d still have to wait a while. Even with Xiao Li using the Star Investigation Office’s authority, it would take at least half a month for the transfer.
So, Lu Lin used "Green Shirt Flower Bar."
Soon the merchant accepted the order, preparing to package and send it by delivery across the continent. It couldn’t be delivered the same day; the earliest would be tomorrow morning.
Lu Lin also chose tomorrow night as the receiving time, and the entire ordering process was completed.
He just had to wait for the Delivery Robot to bring the goods tomorrow.
Now, Lu Lin decided to go to the basketball court behind Lishui Bay to practice the Ten Steps Kill repeatedly.
He didn’t believe that his luck would be so bad as to encounter another assassin.
Indeed, until Meng Yu called him back for dinner in the evening, nothing unexpected happened to Lu Lin.
The state of Ten Steps Kill was still at Seize the Gap, and within a short time, Lu Lin saw no hope of breaking through to the next level, Han Yue.
However, that’s how cultivation methods work: practice slowly, and maybe one day you’ll suddenly understand Han Yue and break through.
Lu Lin is not someone who easily gives up. He decided that as long as conditions allowed, he would practice at least one hour of Ten Steps Kill every day, making every move in Ten Steps Kill become his instinct.
After dinner, Lu Lin mentioned that he was going to Tata City the next day to guide Star Skills and then went to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Lu Lin got up earlier than his parents, boiled a pot of water and then ran out of the house, heading to the Green City Mentor Branch.
(Just a note during the free period: In the future, all major professions will just refer to Star Mentor, Star Pharmacist, Star Array Teacher, and Star Artisan.)
On the way, he also checked the potion he purchased, which had been shipped from the West Sand Continent to the East Forest Continent and would be sorted by noon.
Lu Lin was looking forward to seeing the effect of the potion on the Golden Body Sutra that evening.
Who knows, perhaps his talent in Star Power is average, but he’s a genius in Body Refinement.
Taking the bus to the branch, Wan Fugang had already opened the main gate of the branch and was cleaning inside.
"Brother Wan, morning, hasn’t President Guan arrived yet?"
"Not yet."
Wan Fugang put down what was in his hands and smiled at Lu Lin, "The President is quite punctual; if a time is agreed upon, he will neither arrive early nor late..."
"President, you’re here."
Wan Fugang paused mid-sentence as he spotted a dazzling figure at the door.
The always punctual Guan Yue, who never wasted time but also would not arrive early, surprisingly arrived half an hour earlier than agreed upon today.
Wan Fugang glanced at Lu Lin’s handsome face, puzzled in his heart:
Is this the power of good looks?
"Mm, good morning, Little Lu."
"Have you had breakfast? I saw a handmade pancake stall on the way and bought an extra one for you to try."
Before Lu Lin could refuse, Guan Yue handed over a whole grain pancake filled with vegetables.
Wan Fugang widened his eyes.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the pancake’s packaging had the words "Peace of Mind Breakfast" printed on it, a famous breakfast chain brand on Saturn. In Green City, there was only one Peace of Mind Breakfast shop, and the queue every day was easily one to two hundred meters long.
President, is this what you call buying an extra one on a whim?
"Oh, thank you, President Guan, then I won’t stand on ceremony."
Lu Lin took the pancake and took a big bite.
Indeed, it tasted as familiar as ever.
The whole grain pancake that used to cost three to four yuan had later increased to six or seven yuan per portion. Now, even sold at 150 yuan each, the taste hadn’t changed in the slightest.
"Little Lu, have some soy milk, be careful not to choke."
"Uh, thank you, thank you."
Since it had started, Lu Lin didn’t bother being polite with Guan Yue and took the bottle of soy milk, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down.
Wan Fugang stood by watching, utterly confused.
It seemed his esteemed President had been a bit off today.
Tata City was about 200 kilometers away from Green City, and it would take about 40 minutes by riding Guan Yue’s maglev car.
But the entire way, Lu Lin felt like he was purely there for eating.
No one knew why Guan Yue had so many snacks in the car.
Oreo biscuits...
Lay’s potato chips...
Aunt’s Cracker...
Uncle’s Red Dates...
Various nuts, puffed foods, plums, and seeds...
Lu Lin deeply suspected that this President Guan’s family ran a supermarket, as ordinary people wouldn’t usually buy such a complete array of snacks.
Finally reaching Tata City, Guan Yue said that Lu Lin had had a tiring journey and asked if he wanted to find a café to sit and rest.
Lu Lin waved his hands repeatedly.
President, can’t we talk about something unrelated to food?
Tata City is a relatively remote city; there are only three high schools here.
According to Guan Yue, even with all three high schools combined, there are less than 50 awakened students this year, with an awakening rate of only 5.5%, which drags down the awakening rate of all Humans.
The Green City Mentor Branch has always maintained contact with nearby schools and the City Guard, providing Star Core Martial Artists with Star Skill guidance services from the First to Third Level.
Although these cities can’t provide a large budget, they give a 2,000 yuan subsidy to the branch for each successful Star Skill comprehension, half of which goes to the mentor, with the rest put into the branch’s small treasury after deducting daily operating expenses.
Lu Lin expressed his acceptance and asked Guan Yue to quickly guide the students on Star Skills.
His Star Power Domain was eagerly waiting.
At the Governor’s Mansion in Tata City, Lu Lin met the 48 students needing guidance.
He began the guidance.
One, two...
Three, five...
Lu Lin’s guidance was so efficient that by the time Guan Yue finished guiding the first student, Lu Lin had already completed twelve.
Seeing Guan Yue looking a bit drained, Lu Lin volunteered to take over guiding the remaining 35 students.
Out of forty-seven guided, there were even two who comprehended Double Star Skills.
This greatly pleased the City Lord of Tata City.
Adding Lu Lin and Guan Yue’s efforts together, they achieved a 100% success rate in their Star Skill guidance today.
The City Lord generously decided to pay an extra 20,000 Federal Coins as a token of appreciation and even invited Lu Lin and Guan Yue to lunch.
Lu Lin declined.
He was anxious because he had only guided 47 people that morning, and even including the two students who comprehended Double Star Skills, his Earth-Type Star Vessel refinement degree only increased by about 12%.
If he wanted to increase the refinement degree quickly, he needed to guide more students on Star Skills.
Guan Yue mentioned that there was another city, Linbei, further north of Tata City, and she had already arranged to help guide Star Skills there too.
Lu Lin, knowing this, urged Guan Yue to drive.
"President Guan, these students who awaken but fail to comprehend Star Skills are really pitiful."
"Seeing them reminds me of my past self, so please give me more opportunities to help these peers."
Guan Yue appreciated Lu Lin’s sentiment and obliged by driving him to Linbei.
However, Guan Yue felt somewhat helpless internally.
As a Senior Mentor, she had only guided one student this entire time, hoping to enjoy a "pleasant evening" at the Tata City Hotel during the business trip.
But this Lu Lin had no sense of romance.
Oh well, let him be.
