I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Early the next morning.

Imperial Capital Academy playground.

Lu Yun, who had arrived at the playground early, was chatting with Xu Qingmeng.

Yesterday he had a good meal and a good sleep. After receiving the good news that Xu Qingmeng had successfully completed her third transformation this morning, he met her at the door and came here together.

At this moment, Xu Qingmeng was extremely excited as she clung to Lu Yun's arm. Although she maintained a cold and aloof demeanor because of the presence of outsiders, her blushing face betrayed her feelings on several occasions.

"Lu Yun, let me tell you, I'm level 110 now! I gained a full 20 levels after successfully changing jobs!"

"If I can level up 10 more times in the raid, I can summon a whale mount!"

Lu Yun smiled and naturally looked at her small hand that was wrapped around his arm.

"That's normal. The first wave of demon monsters numbered over 300,000. Although I didn't see the second wave, there were at least 500,000 to 600,000. Your level is low, so being around level 20 is normal."

"It's a pity the rift is closed, so we can't pick up the drops, and we don't even know if there's a boss there. It would be such a waste if it dropped good stuff."

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but chuckle.

"You must have at least a hundred or two hundred million gold coins by now, are you still so stingy?"

"Why?!"

Lu Yun was startled, quickly glanced at his nearly 400 billion in savings, and patted his chest.

"Phew~ thank goodness, the 400 billion is still there."

"Don't talk nonsense, I thought I'd become a pauper."

"puff!!!"

Xu Qingmeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Take, take less??? 400 billion???"

"What's wrong?"

"???"

"Don't you have one?"

"???"

Xu Qingmeng trembled with anger and instinctively tried to pull her arm back, but Lu Yun quickly covered it.

"Hey, just kidding! How about I give you 300 billion as a dowry?"

"You?! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Xu Qingmeng's face instantly turned red. If Lu Yun hadn't covered her face tightly, she probably would have run away.

Fortunately, the filial son arrived at that moment. He laughed and interrupted Xu Qingmeng's embarrassment.

"Brother Yun! Sister-in-law! I'm here! Hahaha!"

Li Zian ran excitedly to the other side, winking mysteriously.

"Haha! Brother Yun, let me tell you, I'm level 106! Isn't that awesome!"

"Awesome, awesome, you've really made it to the forefront."

There are many freshmen, but apart from them, there are probably no other students who can transfer to a third-year program.

"Hehe, didn't I just happen to be in the right place at the right time? I've got you on my side, otherwise it would have taken me ages to even get promoted."

Li Zian couldn't stop smiling, while Mu Qingcheng and Mu Caiwei seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time.

Of course, there were also Zhao Qing and more than ten others.

Upon seeing Xu Qingmeng, Zhao Qing and the others immediately put on smiling faces and greeted her. Perhaps because Lu Yun's previous swift and decisive move had taken effect, they were no longer cold towards him this time and greeted him with smiles.

"Chief Lu."

Lu Yun didn't pay attention at the time, but Xu Qingmeng was taken away.

Zhao Qing and Qi Yashu, along with several other girls, surrounded Xu Qingmeng and chatted about everyday things.

Actually, if they hadn't shown up, Xu Qingmeng would have forgotten about it, so she still doesn't know what happened.

Moreover, Zhao Qing was quite reserved, but Qi Yashu started glancing at Lu Yun from time to time as they chatted.

"Qingmeng, how did you meet Chief Lu?"

"Ah...we were classmates in high school..."

The group exchanged glances, and for a moment, they felt breathless.

Qi Yashu was still a little unwilling to give up and continued chatting with Xu Qingmeng. Lu Yun, who was standing next to her, listened and his eyes became more and more strange. He couldn't help but want to laugh.

Taking advantage of this moment, Mu Qingcheng and Mu Caiwei walked to his side and whispered.

"Eight families entered the psychedelic tide, but four families left after two hours, and the remaining three also left after exploring for an hour. Only Qian Jiayu's team persisted until this morning."

"They didn't even see the BOSS, they only cleared a dozen or so small monster strongholds, and almost died inside."

"However, with Wu Xiangchen's instigation, Qian Jiayu has already held a grudge against you and is hating you more and more. He will definitely target you in the raid later."

Lu Yun nodded and subconsciously glanced to the side, where Qian Jiayu, looking somewhat disheveled, was cursing and swearing.

You could tell he was furious.

but……

"Eight families?"

Mu Qingcheng looked at him expressionlessly.

"Zhao Qing and the others didn't go; they voluntarily gave away their tickets in exchange for some other things."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun immediately frowned.

When it comes to the struggle between forces, the most powerful on the surface are the ten major families, but what they need to exchange is self-evident.

"The power struggle between major forces is none of my business."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Caiwei's eyes. She believed that with Lu Yun's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to guess something, but he still said that. Did he give up?

No, that's not right. Glancing at Lu Yun's calm expression, Mu Caiwei instantly realized that Lu Yun hadn't given up; rather, he was brimming with confidence...

It seems he has accumulated many trump cards recently.

However, just as she was about to say something, Zhao Qing and Qi Yashu both turned to look at Lu Yun.

Xu Qingmeng was already surrounded by other girls chatting, but the two of them walked up to Lu Yun and said calmly.

"Chief Lu, I don't know why Dean Qi specially recruited you, but your strength is undeniable. However, relying on external things is not a long-term solution. Only by becoming strong yourself can you truly be strong."

"You might be unbeatable in the early stages, but after all, you're only at the gray common level. The further you go, the more you'll realize that job rarity isn't just for show. That feeling of powerlessness will become more and more severe as your level increases."

"Yes, you can't see much difference below the third rank. The third rank is a hurdle, and the fourth rank is the watershed. At that time, you will know how big the difference in rarity really is."

The two appeared polite, but their meaning was quite clear. Upon hearing this, Lu Yun almost lost his composure.

Even Mu Qingcheng and the other woman were looking at them as if they were idiots.

"oh."

"Oh?"

Seeing Lu Yun's nonchalant remark, Qi Yashu widened her eyes and raised her voice slightly.

"You're the only one? Chief Lu, I thought you were a smart person."

Zhao Qing pursed her lips and softened her tone.

"I'm sorry, this may be hurtful, but I hope you understand that Qingmeng is in a silver-level profession. Although it has some limitations, she will definitely reach great heights in the future. However, if you keep bothering her, you will hold her back."

Zhao Qing paused.

"To put it more bluntly, she's been with you for so long, and she's only just completed her second job advancement, right? But we're all at least level 70, and we'll be able to complete our third job advancement in about two more months. If you keep dragging her down, you'll pull her out of the top tier. Once she falls behind, she'll fall further behind and never have a chance to rise again."

"The gap between you two is too big. I hope you won't hold Qingmeng back. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Lu Yun raised one eyebrow and smiled.

"Ah... so that's what happened..."

"you?!"

Qi Yashu was clearly annoyed. She had already made herself so clear, so why was this man still so oblivious? Was he really just blinded by lust? Or was he trying to raise the price?

"How about this, Chief Lu? Our Zhao, Zhou, Qi, and Zhang families all have some businesses in the capital. You can choose any one of them. We'll give you a high salary and great benefits, and I can give you 2 million gold coins right now to ensure your life is worry-free. However, Qingmeng will be protected and helped by us during your university years."

I hope you can make the right decision.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled and looked at the two of them.

"To be honest, I really admire you guys."

The two were stunned upon hearing this.

"However, feelings cannot be measured by material possessions. Others may accept your proposal, but I will not."

Zhao Qing frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but the teacher on the platform had already called for everyone to assemble, so she had to give up.

"Alright, think about it first. You can come find me anytime you've decided, but I hope it won't be later than this freshman competition."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to take her with us."

Watching Zhao Qing and the others lead the bewildered Xu Qingmeng away, Lu Yun shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"These idiots, their cleverness backfired."

Mu Qingcheng gave a fair assessment with a cold face.

"never mind."

Lu Yun glanced at Li Zian, who had somehow become friends with Qi Sheng and a group of boys, and felt quite helpless.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

"..."

The two of them were exasperated and really didn't want to talk to him.

But it was too late for them to say anything. With a flash of white light, everyone felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves on a grassland.

Suddenly, many people who did not belong to the Imperial Capital Academy appeared around them.

"This is……"
