The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

Dragon Fish Restaurant, third floor private room.

After taking their seats, Pei Shaogong and the other three exchanged glances, then all looked at Lu Sheng with somewhat strange expressions.

Looking at Lu Sheng's handsome face, Gu Qinghan sighed with emotion, "Brother Lu truly lives up to his reputation as a genius who rose from humble beginnings. I sensed his extraordinary talent when we gathered on the flying boat, but it turns out he's even more remarkable than I imagined!"

"Brother Lu, if you become successful in the future, don't forget your little sister..."

As she spoke, Gu Qinghan winked at Lu Sheng.

If Lu Sheng's ranking in the first test on the Ziwei Battlefield last time surprised her, then this time it really took her by surprise.

In just two months, he went from the first rank to the second rank. Even among the top talents at the "first-class candidate" level, this speed is enough to make him stand out from the crowd.

There's a possibility that they might be promoted to a top-tier prodigy in the future!

Pei Shaogong also had a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Could it be that Brother Lu has joined a super family like the Fu family, the Murong family, or the Qin family?"

The other three nodded slightly.

After arriving on Ziwei Star, strategic resources are readily available, making it a paradise for the geniuses of small places. If they accept investment from a large family, they will indeed usher in a period of explosive growth in strength.

Lu Sheng's significant progress must be attributed to the investment he received.

Moreover, the investment amount will inevitably be substantial.

However, Lu Sheng's answer completely baffled them.

"Indeed, quite a few companies and families have expressed interest in collaborating with me, but I have refused them all," Lu Sheng stated truthfully.

"Huh? Why?" the group asked, puzzled.

Although the contractual obligations of large companies and powerful entities are relatively stringent, the corresponding investments are also very substantial, providing significant assistance in the early stages.

If they didn't have family backing, they would definitely have signed.

"That's just my personality. I don't like being constrained. Joining a large family would be a burden for me. It's okay if things develop a little slower."

"You call this slow?" Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. Since Brother Lu has chosen not to accept the investment, he must be very confident in himself. Come, have a cup of Blood Spirit Wine, a specialty of my divine kingdom. Congratulations to Brother Lu and Brother Pei on advancing to the second stage!"

Fu Qing could tell that Lu Sheng didn't want to talk about this topic any further, so he waved his hand and took out five jugs of wine from his divine kingdom and placed them on the table.

He called out to everyone and then took the first sip.

"A pot of Blood Spirit Wine containing 10000 strands of divine essence—wow, Brother Fu, you're so generous!"

Seeing this, Pei Shaogong and Gu Qinghan said no more, took the wine pot, and eagerly began to drink.

Lu Sheng also curiously picked up the wine pot and took a sip.

boom!

The moment the liquor entered the throat, a violent energy suddenly exploded like a dam breaking, sweeping along the meridians.

His face turned slightly red after just one small bite.

"It has to be the craftsmanship of the Mechanical God Kingdom to make such a complex and potent spirit liquor. It's a pity it's too expensive, otherwise I would definitely drink it every day!" Pei Shaogong wiped his mouth, very satisfied.

He looked at Lu Sheng and teased, "Brother Lu, is this your first time drinking this Blood Spirit? Don't drink too much. I remember once I drank it and got drunk after only half a pot. I had to be carried back by others in the end."

Gu Qinghan curled her lip: "You think everyone's like you, a drunkard?"

Lu Sheng simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

Blood Spirit Wine is indeed very strong. He felt slightly uncomfortable after the first sip, but that was all. His body completely digested the violent energy within a few seconds.

Compared to resource-related talents, he also has many combat-related talents, and after [fusion], their levels are all quite high.

Correspondingly, his physical strength is also much higher than that of Pei Shaogong, Fu Qing and others.

Even if Lu Sheng drank ten or eight jugs of this spirit wine in one go, he wouldn't feel drunk at all.

"Everyone, we're definitely aiming for a top 100 ranking in this freshman competition. What good ideas do you have? Why don't you share them now?"

Halfway through the meal, Fu Qing suddenly became serious and shifted the topic to the freshman competition:

"This time, we will be in the Divine Continent for three months for the competition. We need to plan carefully about our route, our battles with other races and our own races, and our competition for divine crystals."

The Divine Continent is a virtual continent created by the Ziwei Academy using advanced intelligent life forms, where the flow of time differs from that of the real world.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to one month in the Divine Continent.

Although the competition only lasts for three days, for the gods, it truly takes them three months to complete their journey on the continent of gods.

This is a long race, and it is essential to plan ahead.

"With our team's strength of three second-tier and two first-tier members, we're considered above average even among the top-tier candidate combinations. We can just grab five divine crystals, and even if we do nothing, we'll still be a sure thing in the top 100 after the competition!" Pei Shaogong proposed a plan.

"Brother Pei, this method, though simple and brutal, is far too risky..." Fu Qing shook his head after only hearing half of it:

"If we can form teams, other prodigies can do the same."

"Moreover, as far as I know, over the years, there have been many experts who have worked with a large group of low-level geniuses. Instead of killing alien demigods to gain points, they specifically hunt down those who possess divine crystals."

"Possessing five divine crystals at the same time is too conspicuous and would easily attract the attention of this group."

"Is that so..."

Pei Shaogong stroked his chin and pondered for two seconds, then suddenly had a brilliant idea: "How about we hide on the outskirts of the Divine Continent and specifically kill those second-tier and third-tier geniuses to steal their points?"

If there's a risk in fighting a group of top-tier candidates, then wouldn't the danger be greatly reduced if we fought a group of lower-tier candidates?

You should know that most of those second-tier and third-tier geniuses are still only pseudo-gods. When they encounter this demigod combination, they are like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.

"Brother Pei, even the second-tier and third-tier geniuses can only kill pseudo-god level alien gods at most. If we kill them, we can only get half the points. How many points will we get in the end?"

"Can't we get serious for once?" Gu Qinghan complained from the side, rolling her eyes again.

Then she said to Fu Qing, "Brother Fu, I remember you comprehended a deduction-type law, so why don't you just skip the divine crystals and keep going deeper into the core area?"

"With you here, we shouldn't run into other students if we're careful and don't take the divine crystals."

"When the competition is at its fiercest in the final period, we will withdraw from the core area and plunder the points of lower-level geniuses on the outskirts. By then, everyone will have survived for more than two months and should have a lot of points."

"Qinghan is clever. Although her efficiency in earning points isn't very high, it's stable," Fu Qing said with a bright look in his eyes.

Lu Sheng also strongly agreed: "I think it's a good idea."

The top ten students in Ziwei Academy over the years are almost always top-tier geniuses, so there's probably not much hope of competing for them.

However, if they compete normally with the other top-tier candidates, as long as they are not besieged, their chances of making it into the top 100 are still very high.

Lu Sheng's requirements were not high.

Pei Shaogong, who was standing to the side, couldn't think of any good ideas either, so he naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

But Lu Sheng keenly noticed that when Fu Jingjing saw her brother praising another girl, her eyebrows and eyes lowered slightly, and her cherry lips pouted slightly.

This change was extremely subtle, and if Lu Sheng's mental strength had not far surpassed that of an ordinary second-stage demigod, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

After a satisfying meal, the group headed home.

However, after returning to the school, Lu Sheng did not rush to his small courtyard residence, but instead walked towards a floating island under the obelisk.

He has one more chance to enter the Ziwei Secret Realm.

Originally, Lu Sheng wanted to wait until his comprehension of the power of laws reached a bottleneck before going, but now that the freshman competition is about to begin, it is necessary to improve his strength.

The freshman competition is not just a routine test for first-year students; the school's leadership also pays close attention to its content.

If they perform exceptionally well, it might even influence their academic ranking, potentially leading to additional investment and preferential treatment from the school…

The longer Lu Sheng spent with Pei Shaogong and others, the clearer he became about the enormous role that resources, vision, and connections played.

Without being constrained, he would not let go of any opportunity to climb higher.
