Chapter 258 A Frenzy! The Supreme Sun's Kin! Lu Yu, Stunned by the Entire Audience! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"This is troublesome!"
Upon seeing the two of them, Shang Yuguang's heart sank.
The Mystic Ritual System, also known as the Treasure System, excels at constructing various extraordinary rituals and creating extraordinary treasures.
Before you get started, you might spend a lot of money, but once you have a certain level of expertise, you can make money effortlessly.
Whether it's a large chamber of commerce or a warband's base, it needs to establish protective mechanisms for things like fighting, retreating, and concealing one's presence during battles.
The rituals have even been integrated into daily life; even hospitals have established rituals for things like pregnancy support, healing, and calming the mind.
In addition, they can also use a large number of low-cost treasures they make themselves to bombard people with firepower, which is incredibly extravagant!
Among those of the same rank, the only ones who can compare to him are probably the equally wealthy mechanics!
The standard Beastmaster build is no match for it!
As for the mechanical engineering department, having money and technology is not enough to mass produce troops; many of its cutting-edge technologies are patented.
However, in the Mystic Arts lineage, anyone with talent can surpass them!
This shows how much room for growth a ritual master can have!
This profession was incredibly attractive to the greedy Lu Yu!
If we let him join the Department of Mystic Arts...
They will most likely suffer from a fear of insufficient firepower, creating thousands of secret treasures or selling all sorts of insidious items, turning the image of human beast tamers from hot-blooded to a bunch of cunning old foxes!
They tear down everything they go!
Or a demon with a human tattoo on its back.
It wouldn't be surprising if they even went to the Abyss to demand copyright fees!
"Absolutely not!"
Just thinking about this future gave Shang Yuguang a chill down his spine.
In order to prevent the next generation of humankind from going astray, we absolutely cannot let Lu Yu go to another faction!
However, in the past, the archaeology department represented by Yue Hao would not have been able to attract enough students, let alone fill all the normal enrollment quotas, so it was not a concern.
Even at the banquet, I sat at the same table as the dog.
As for the martial artists with the possession system from the Douwang Domain...
Just put a stool in front of the slop bucket!
But recently... he heard some rumors.
It seems an ancient ruin has appeared on the border battlefield, and the archaeology department is about to receive a version buff!
He didn't believe it at first, since similar news comes out every year, and there was even a bizarre incident where it was found that all the IPs of the posts came from the archaeology department.
In the end, the entire archaeology department was banned from speaking for a semester!
Until... he saw that senior archaeology students were burning incense and paper money for their seniors, the grass on the graves had been cleared clean, the watermelons had been picked, and even new clothes had been put on them.
He exudes an aura of confidence from within, looking ready to unleash his full potential!
This shows that...
The ruins are very likely real!
After all, the secret realm needs a few sacrificial victims... oh no, I mean a few professionals to bless it before it can be explored smoothly!
If this news is true, then the archaeology department is really going to take off this time!
Besides, the Civil Engineering Department, Mechanical Engineering Department, Medical Department, and Scientific Research Department, although they were tricked into waiting for Lu Yu at the school, have not seen them going there yet, so they should have realized what was happening and are on their way.
Shang Yuguang's gaze turned serious; the competition was fierce!
We still need to strike first!
Thinking of this, Shang Yuguang looked at Lu Yu and asked expectantly:
"How about it? Choose our combat system and feel the passionate clash between the strong, dominating the world and destroying a nation with a single word."
This is a kind of joy that other departments can't experience; it's a perfect way to escape low-level interests!
"hehe!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mao Guixian sneered and said:
"If you're going to recruit, then recruit. Stop with this comparison and comparison. Without our potion department's support and logistics, would your combat department be able to fight so smoothly on the battlefield?"
"And I suddenly remembered that the batch of potions your combat department ordered last time is due for delivery, but the weather is getting worse and worse, making it inconvenient to preserve the potions. It's normal for the labels to be expired, right? For example, potions from fifty years ago might even mutate new organs after use..."
"Ahem, don't be like that. We're all good partners on the battlefield. In long battles, without stamina and healing potions, beastmasters simply can't survive. The potion-wielding class holds up half the sky for the alliance!"
Shang Yuguang forced a smile and explained:
"What I really want to say is that many of the princes, princesses, or children of ministers who have allied with the human race are studying in our department. Some hope to strengthen their country's military, some want to lead their country to prosperity, and some want to restore their country."
They subscribe to the law of the jungle; as long as you demonstrate sufficient strength, you can easily recruit them as your subordinates, and even becoming a regent of a country wouldn't be difficult.
Using foreign races as bargaining chips, Shang Yuguang felt no qualms whatsoever, not because he was a ruthless old man.
Rather, it's because... these alien races are either old and veteran powerhouses that Lu Yu can't defeat, or they've come seeking protection.
This is perfect for both of us to go together!
In addition, due to the lack of large-scale wars and the long period of peace, many races have begun to harbor some ulterior motives and even start to test the waters. If Lu Yu is interested, he can help to give them a warning!
He simply didn't believe it; after all that had been said, what man could resist the temptation of power?
The other four teachers, upon hearing this, also secretly cursed him, thinking, "This isn't about war; it's clearly about unspeakable post-war pleasures!"
With the rise of the internet, various animal-eared girls have become increasingly popular among humans recently, which can be described as a decline in morals!
"Shameless!"
Mao Guixian gritted her teeth in anger, saying that she was vulgar, but she was even more shameless and directly pimped Fu Rui.
Li Shu clenched his fists, his envy indescribable, and he wanted to say something like:
"Can I join?"
This blissful life makes him want to quit his job and inject holy light and positive energy into these evil alien girls!
Completely win them over!
However, Li Shu was only thinking about it. If he were to actually go to a foreign tribe and live a decadent life, there would be virtually no room for growth.
It's not just a gap in resources, but also a corruption of the soul. The path of a beast tamer is a transformation of the heart.
Without the drive to succeed, it's hard to go against the current in the mother river!
There's even a chance of distortion!
Become a fallen dragon!
Unless there is no hope for the future, very few beast tamers would choose to retire to a foreign race!
"What dirty business tactics!" Xiao Ling was dumbfounded. Compared to these seasoned veterans, she was still too naive.
Yue Hao adjusted his glasses, not in a hurry to express his opinion.
Seeing this, Shang Yuguang added more weight to the offer: "Besides these, you can also receive one-on-one guidance from the department head, and there is a high probability that you will become his personal disciple."
The heads of each department at Imperial Capital University are all ancient giants.
The personal disciple of an ancient giant means that one can act with impunity in most parts of the alliance.
Moreover, their strength lies not only in their physical abilities, but also in their experience and their research into different systems and approaches—all of which are top-notch!
Shang Yuguang originally thought that Lu Yu's background limited his knowledge and that his spiritual puzzle was a weakness, but it was not difficult to adjust before he advanced to the Morning Star level.
But unexpectedly...
This guy's spiritual puzzle is more than just excellent; it's terrifying!
Even the eldest son of the Toad Ancestor, a peak-level evil god's follower, whose toad skin could support the world, was easily suppressed by Lu Yu's egg.
They directly profited immensely during the battle between the two giants, even the principal was fleeced!
Even the best spiritual puzzles can't compare to this, can they?
Most importantly, he was able to see through the disguise of the ancient giants in the darkness of the endless void, which suggests that he is related to the ancient kings.
This is the residual power from the laws of the True King, which makes ordinary giants ashamed to guide Lu Yu!
It is estimated that only the descendants of a true king can compare to it!
This left Shang Yuguang feeling regretful. Moreover, his great-great-great-great-granddaughter, a powerful figure from the Eternal Era, was over a hundred years older than Lu Yu. Otherwise, he could have pursued a similar path as a wealthy female senior.
But now... the rich grandma route isn't really a good idea!
However, facing Shang Yuguang's expectant gaze, Lu Yu slowly raised his head, revealing a simple and naive look. He scratched his head and said "shyly":
"Uncle Shang, as you know, my parents passed away early, and I've been struggling on my own..."
Upon hearing this address, Shang Yuguang rolled his eyes.
Alright, this kid wants to raise the price!
Lu Yu continued, "I just happened to win the Rookie of the Year award by accident; I know absolutely nothing about anything else..."
Listen to this, is this even human language?
Others accidentally have a child, you accidentally become a rookie king!
When they were young, apart from Li Shu who won the Rookie of the Year award, the rest of them tried their best but could only get into the top three at best!
They also want to learn the techniques from Versailles!
The five teachers inwardly complained, and although they had an urge to hit each other, they held back because they were recruiting students.
Mao Guixian forced a look of concern and said gently:
"You've really had a tough time, but you're right. It's good to learn more. The combat major is all about fighting and killing, nothing beats the potion major's comfortable indoor potion-making experience."
Moreover, compared to legion commanders, potion masters are always highly welcomed no matter which major power they go to.
Masters of potions can use the tributaries of the Mother River as a furnace, and all living beings as fuel, transforming the rotten into the miraculous, creating miracles. Even those with only the strength of the Radiant Moon rank possess a status comparable to ancient giants, and are treated with utmost respect even by True Kings!
"The same goes for ritual masters!" Xiao Ling interjected. "Top-tier ritual masters can construct hundreds of rituals with a single thought. If they can obtain a pet beast nurtured by the spiritual essence of the ritual, they are even more powerful, able to perform complex rituals in no time and suppress opponents of higher levels as easily as eating and drinking."
Moreover, ritual masters believe in never asking for help from others. If they want something, they can directly create the secret treasure themselves, and the top-level ones can even be comparable to rule-based secret treasures.
In the past, there was even a legendary figure who, in order to fulfill his own wish, created an infinite wish-granting machine, and succeeded halfway!
"Which half? Can we only make wishes occasionally?" Lu Yu listened with great interest.
The others were also curious.
Faced with this question, Xiao Ling said with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"What has been accomplished is [infinity]!"
"What do you mean?" The other admissions officers were puzzled. This was the first time they had heard such a secret. Compared to admissions, they found it more interesting to gossip.
Xiao Ling explained, "His wish-granting machine did succeed, but it will mutate towards the concept of infinity. For example, if he wants an infinite number of chickens, he might get an infinite number of chicken droppings, or an infinite number of eggs falling down on him all the time."
It sounds great, and it's a way of indirectly expanding resources, but this concept of "unlimited" is only for him; no one else can touch it.
Moreover, the concept of an egg is very broad. Sometimes, even while sleeping, a giant egg comparable to a mountain or an egg formed from flowing water will fall on you, and you will almost be killed by it several times.
In the end, it was only thanks to the other esoteric masters sealing the Infinite Egg that daily life could be maintained. Besides, this wish-granting machine tends to veer towards even stranger concepts, making it slightly more dangerous!
"whispering sound!"
Seeing the others' disgusted looks, Xiao Ling quickly explained:
"It's just because he made a few small mistakes during its production. If it were Lu Yu, he might not have made any mistakes and would have precisely followed the right path to create the perfect wish-granting machine!"
The other teachers just sneered.
How ridiculous it is to never go astray.
Even a true king wouldn't dare say that!
This pancake is big and round, and it's a bit hard, so it's hard to chew!
Lu Yu thought to himself, even with the Eye of Truth that grants him access to infinite knowledge, he couldn't guarantee that he could perfectly construct the secret ritual.
Spider-Man, on the other hand, is more talented in this area.
However, Xiao Ling reminded him of something: as the owner of the Key to Truth, he would receive the blessing of truth most of the time, and might be on the right path.
There is a chance to create a perfect rule-based treasure!
In particular, the effect of the [Master of the Gate] talent allows him to obtain special buffs when the food, treasures, and potions he makes reach a good quality or higher.
These special buffs provided Lu Yu with a great deal of convenience on his path to growth.
For example, satisfying Egg's appetite leads to the creation of the intelligent "Fullness," or turning the tide in the battle against the Daughter of Eternal Darkness by snatching victory from the jaws of defeat...
So Lu Yu was also looking forward to seeing what kind of buffs the magic potion and the secret treasure would create.
Xiao Ling noticed Lu Yu's interest and pressed her advantage, saying:
"If you choose the Mystic Arts system, we also have ancient masters to guide you, and they're masters in both the Mystic Arts and Mystic Treasure categories—buy one get one free!"
Li Shu from the Cultivation Department added, "What you're saying is all too abstract. How much time do the Eternal Giants spend in the department each year? They can easily miss a mission, after all, the difference in lifespan between us and them is too great."
"Our Breeding Department is the most honest; we give money directly. And recently, one of our Eternal Giant Pets is about to be born, allowing you to witness the power of a Giant up close. This will be very beneficial for your future path, since this is the end of a tributary of the Mother River, already close to the power of the main river!"
Shang Yuguang sneered, "Are you kidding? This time, in order to snatch people, several department heads are almost going to the principal to open a virtual real-person PK. How could it all be empty talk? Giving them a year to guide them wouldn't be difficult, and besides..."
I think I heard you guys say about five years ago that the pregnant, ancient-level beast was about to give birth, and so many breeding students were eagerly waiting for it, but it still hasn't been born!
Li Shu, exposed but showing no embarrassment, calmly stated, "It's normal for advanced life forms to dawdle a bit, given their high level of psionic energy. But according to our detection, they will definitely be able to give birth this year!"
They're all just empty promises anyway, let's see who can make a better one!
After arguing for a while, the four suddenly noticed Yue Hao, who had been silent, and asked in confusion:
Aren't you going to say something?
The light reflected off Yue Hao's eyes, obscuring them, and he said calmly:
"How did you know our archaeology department just unearthed the remains of an ancient civilization?"
The four of them looked completely bewildered.
Who asked you!
However, they soon realized that the police were waiting for them there.
This tactic... is so dirty!
Yue Hao looked at Lu Yu, who remained calm, and understood that Lu Yu probably already knew the news. He continued:
"It seems you've received the message too, but I can tell you even bigger inside information."
This relic was once inhabited by a True King, or even someone above a True King, who left behind related creations. Once successfully analyzed, it could very well be a vast, entirely new path—a path to becoming a King!
The paths are finite!
The more people there are on a path, the more difficult it is to climb!
The fewer people there are, the simpler it is; rather, the more benefits, even favors, can be obtained.
This is also why Lu Yu wanted to seize the path of reincarnation ahead of time!
As Yue Hao finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, and the sound of breathing around them gradually became rapid.
The True King is the strongest being who holds the highest laws and is at the pinnacle of the mortal world; he is the greatest dream of countless beings!
Every word and action is a rule!
Even great beings, if they cannot descend directly to the mortal world, but only send down an incarnation, may still be killed by them!
It represents the ultimate power and slaughter!
The Mech King Domain inherited the legacy of the Spirit Mech Kingdom, thereby gaining power comparable to a pseudo-king and giving birth to the glorious Mech Warrior civilization we see today.
There are even rumors that several mechanical factions are secretly making a run towards the True King rank!
If successful, it will be a major earthquake for the entire main world!
The Mechanical True King will have a lifespan far exceeding that of other True Kings, comparable to a great being, and will be able to protect humanity for countless years!
Moreover, with the blessing of the Mechanical Mother, he may be the fairest true king in history.
However, all of this depends on whether the research on the molten oil can be successful; otherwise, it will all be in vain!
Lu Yu was also surprised. This actually involved beings above the True King level, and it was originally related to the sun, and there was even a special cult associated with it.
Could it be...?
The superiors and their relatives of the Supreme Sun?
Is it time to restock our own ranch?
Moreover, they were relatives of his greatest enemy; Lu Yu dared not even imagine what kind of creatures they could raise.
It's absolutely gorgeous!
Especially as the ranch grew, Lu Yu was able to sense the need for grazing the Chaos Eggs:
three times!
If you successfully herd the evil god's minions three times, you will undergo a transformation!
It is highly likely that a legal domain similar to Tong Ye's [Fairy Tale Village] will emerge, suppressing all enemies.
Is it the realm of chaos? Or the realm of truth? Or perhaps the realm of a thousand hands?
Lu Yu had high hopes, as long as it wasn't like now, where they kept throwing eggs at people.
Yue Hao continued, "And don't think that the ruins are just a lying ruin. You've explored a corner of the temple in the Hidden Corpse Emperor Holy City. You should understand that there are countless ancient civilization artifacts left in such places. The spiritual energy accumulated over the long years has gathered and collided, giving birth to countless strange life forms. I wouldn't be surprised if you even have mastered the power of rules."
Therefore, it is fraught with danger. If the relevant information is not deciphered, it could easily cause a large number of casualties.
In addition, there are a large number of precious documents that need to be rescued, and many ancient buildings have been completely eroded by time, etc.
All of these require maintenance by corresponding archaeology-type pets, as well as translation and verification. Only after confirming that there are no problems can they be used.
What archaeology can offer you is nothing but endless knowledge—the knowledge that countless historians have poured their hearts and souls into exploring, knowledge that allows you to freely observe the world and change it!
The voice was powerful and resonant, giving everyone a feeling of excitement!
Those present were speechless.
Archaeologists are not weaklings who need protection!
They are a group of warriors who walk alone in the dark fog of history!
Even Lu Yu had to rethink his understanding of the archaeology department.
Born in this world, die in history!
That's really romantic!
Seeing everyone's reactions, Yue Hao breathed a sigh of relief, finally having completed the task assigned by the department head.
Actually, there was one more thing he didn't say.
This relic... it's still uncertain whether it involves any taboos; even the giants can only explore it from the outside.
Too little information!
Once involved, even the most valuable item will be discarded!
However, there's no need to say that; it would be impolite.
He wasn't worried that Lu Yu wouldn't be interested, after all, the fact that this kid could be called the "Secret Realm Destroyer" and "Secret Realm Yellow Hair" showed that he had terrifying talent in this area.
In addition, his greed is a trait of his, but how could his own money-making speed possibly compare to the speed at which he directly inherits the legacy of the ancients?
The best feeling is getting something for nothing!
The blond guy in the secret realm just steals things directly; that's true professionalism!
Having heard this, the teachers had basically stated their conditions, and then they all looked at Lu Yu and asked:
Which department did you choose?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled shyly and said, "As all the teachers know, I come from a poor background and didn't have my parents' support. To get to where I am today..."
"Want to raise the price further?"
Several teachers frowned. They felt that the conditions offered were already generous enough, and even if the price were increased, it wouldn't increase much, as it had already reached the limit that the department could bear.
Or rather...it's unfair to the other students!
What's more, Lu Yu will also receive the reward for being the Rookie King, a treasure that even ancient giants would covet!
When they heard the news, if it weren't for the fact that they were over the age limit and the age limit for the college entrance examination, which didn't even allow for retaking the exam, they would have all wanted to take the exam themselves.
However, this still didn't satisfy Lu Yu's appetite; the kid wanted to continue playing the victim...
That's a bit too greedy!
Excessive greed can easily consume you!
Just as they were about to offer some words of advice, they heard Lu Yu continue speaking:
"I've gotten to where I am today because I'm too talented. Any knowledge is too easy for me to learn. If I had chosen a department, I probably would have learned it in no time. That would have been too unchallenging and would have made the teachers feel unfulfilled."
Moreover, if I were to go to any department, it would cast a shadow on the other students. In addition, I also thirst for knowledge. Therefore, for the sake of peace at Imperial Capital Academy…”
"I want them all!"
