Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 78 - 76: The City Lord’s "Small Gift
"City Lord, won’t anything happen to Xiao Ling inside?"
"It’s already been one hour."
Liu Nengliang nervously asked in the Monitoring Room.
Lin Ling was someone he had watched grow up, and if anything happened because of Lu Lin, he swore he would make Lu Lin pay.
City Lord Lin Xiangnan said nothing, simply watching quietly.
Since Lin Ling entered the Cultivation Room, he had been watching and listening.
He observed all of Lu Lin’s reactions upon learning about Lin Ling’s situation.
He had originally assumed Lu Lin would give up guiding Lin Ling.
Unexpectedly, this young man claimed to have a secret that could help Lin Ling comprehend Star Skills.
This piqued Lin Xiangnan’s curiosity.
When Lin Ling closed her eyes and was drawn by Lu Lin into the Star Power Domain, Lin Xiangnan suddenly widened his eyes.
He sensed from the Star Power Fluctuation that Lin Ling indeed entered the Star Power Domain.
Lu Lin wasn’t lying to her.
Lin Xiangnan was incredibly excited inside; being able to enter the Star Power Domain was a good start.
As long as she can acquire Star Skills, Lin Ling’s Star Power would deplete, and only with depletion is there replenishment.
Even though Lin Ling currently lacks talent and cannot enter the Consciousness Universe to refine her Star Vein.
But when her Star Vein Refinement Degree reaches 1%, even 10%, won’t she be able to enter?
Lu Lin, this action not only gave Lin Ling hope, but truly opened up her future path.
Lin Xiangnan was already thinking, if Lin Ling indeed successfully comprehends Star Skills, what reward should he give Lu Lin?
"City Lord, look, Lin Ling opened her eyes."
"She jumped up, she must have comprehended Star Skills!"
Secretary Zhang’s words interrupted Lin Xiangnan’s thoughts. He turned his head and indeed saw his daughter Lin Ling in the Cultivation Room, embracing Lu Lin and shouting.
"I comprehended Star Skills, I comprehended Star Skills."
"Master Lu, Lu Lin, I comprehended Star Skills."
"It’s Double Star Skills, Ice Attribute Delay and Ice Armor."
"Lu Lin, you’re amazing, I love you!"
"Mu~ ah~"
Saying that, Lin Ling, nearly unable to control her emotions, kissed Lu Lin’s cheek.
In the Monitoring Room.
Guan Yue’s face turned cold.
This little girl managed to achieve what she couldn’t after thinking for a whole day, truly infuriating.
Lin Xiangnan was momentarily stunned, then broke into a smile.
His daughter hadn’t shown such intimate gestures even to him since she was twelve.
At this moment, for some reason, a hint of bitterness rose in Lin Xiangnan’s heart.
Liu Nengliang’s expression was unhappy.
Lin Ling was the little princess of the Governor’s Mansion, yet she showed such affection to Lu Lin, an ordinary poor boy.
"Lu Lin, Lu Lin, I succeeded!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Lin Ling shouted as she jumped, suddenly hugging Lu Lin and bursting into tears.
A long while passed.
Until Lin Xiangnan arrived from the Monitoring Room, separating the two.
"Father, I comprehended Star Skills, Double Star Skills."
Lin Ling said happily, her face still stained with fresh tears.
"Good, I know you can do it."
Lin Xiangnan patted his daughter’s head, his expression indulgent. Turning to Lu Lin, he said, "Master Lu, thank you so much this time."
"City Lord, you’re too kind."
At the dinner party.
Lin Xiangnan only invited Lu Lin, Guan Yue, and his family to dine together.
His praise for Lu Lin during the meal was almost overflowing.
"Lu Lin, here’s an Anonymous Card from Starry Sky Bank, with a bit of my gratitude inside."
"Also, I’ve prepared some small gifts for you to take home later."
"Please don’t refuse, this is a sincere thank you from a father."
Seeing Lu Lin about to speak in rejection, Lin Xiangnan quickly said.
Lu Lin moved his lips but ultimately said nothing. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Lin Ling and her mother were exceptionally grateful to Lu Lin, accompanying him throughout, serving him food, while Lu Lin felt overwhelmingly cherished and couldn’t help but glance at Guan Yue, who seemed like an outsider.
She was sullenly eating and constantly glancing in Lu Lin’s direction.
"I’m full, Lu Lin, let’s head back."
"Alright."
After bidding farewell to Lin Xiangnan and others, Lu Lin left Linbei, carrying the card and "some small gifts."
This journey was truly fruitful.
Lu Lin’s Earth-Type Star Vessel Refinement Degree increased by 20% again, reaching 34%.
The Anonymous Card contained one million funds, Lu Lin even thought of splitting it with Guan Yue, but Guan Yue didn’t take a cent, giving all to Lu Lin.
Also, the "small gifts" from the City Lord were not small at all.
The Wuping Basic Star Force Restoration Potion, an Energy Gathering Star Array Medal that can be carried around, and a box of Linbei City’s local specialties, weighing over 200 pounds. Lu Lin took a glance, realizing the local specialty was Linbei’s famous Linbei White Poplar Chicken.
The Linbei White Poplar Chicken is rich in nutritional value and tastes excellent. In other parts of Saturn, purchasing them costs at least 1200–1500 Federal Coins for a single one. If ordered at a hotel, the price would at least double.
This box of frozen Linbei White Poplar Chicken, though only over 200 pounds with twelve pieces, priced possibly around tens of thousands, is not something easily bought on the market.
In addition, there were many Linbei’s Big Red Dates, Goji Berries, Hami Melons, all items Lu Lin’s parents at home usually can’t afford.
So many small gifts filled up the storage box under Guan Yue’s car completely.
The speed returning to Green City was even slower.
"Lu Lin, tomorrow you should take a day off. The mission in Linbei City is complete. The next destination is a bit far, we’ll need to take the high-speed train, spending roughly three days there, so prepare in advance."
"Alright," Lu Lin readily agreed.
Now, he just worried about there being too few students needing awakening; distance was no concern.
Nevertheless, Lu Lin himself didn’t succeed in guiding Star Skills; during that day, he even broke through to First level in his Earth Talent.
It was considered wasting a chance to comprehend Star Skills.
Guan Yue drove Lu Lin to the Lishui Bay Community downstairs. Lu Lin called to have his mom and dad come down to help with the items.
"Son, are you guiding Star Skills or did you go on a shopping spree, how did you bring back so many things?"
Meng Yu said while carrying a large bag of chestnuts.
"Hehe, mom, these are all from Linbei City’s City Lord’s family."
Returning home, placing down the box of White Poplar Chicken, Lu Lin saw his father carrying two bags in one hand, moving all the things upstairs.
"These are ordinary items, not worth much money."
"Look at this, Star Power Potion, the price for five bottles is half a million."
"And this, the Star Power Concentration Medal, I checked online, even the most basic type costs three hundred thousand each."
"In addition, the City Lord gifted me one million, in cash."
"One million?"
Mom and dad were shocked.
Six years ago, to allow Lu Lin to study on Blue Star, they not only emptied their savings but also borrowed over one million from the Starry Sky Bank.
Although some of it had been paid back over the years, there was still a long way to go to clear it completely.
Yet now, in just half a month after Lu Lin’s awakening, he first earned the artist’s 9.5 million bounty, which seemed so distant that his parents hadn’t seen it, so they didn’t feel much.
But when Lu Lin opened his bank account to show them the balance, the couple was truly shocked.
As it turned out, earning a million was really easy.
To earn it in just one day?
"So, you see, mom and dad, from now on your son will get richer and richer, money for us is just a number, think positively and live well."
After speaking, Lu Lin took the five bottles of Star Power Recovery Potion and went into the bedroom.
The rest is for his parents to digest and absorb.
Golden Body Sutra.
Lu Lin had already mastered it, reviewed the First Layer’s Star Power circulation method, then closed his eyes and began cultivation.
