Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

"Principal Ning?"

Seeing Ning Qin's shocked expression, Zhang Yuan thought he might have described the process too plainly, so he said seriously, "Actually, that boss wasn't easy to defeat. Its health was more than ten times that of a regular boss, so it took me a bit more effort."

Ning Qin's lips twitched: "So, it just took a little more effort?"

At this moment, Xia Chaoyang came to his senses, immediately put his arm around Ning Qin's shoulder and walked to the side, whispering, "Old Ning, we've been friends for so many years, can you promise me something?"

Ning Qin: "What is it?"

Xia Chaoyang: "Why not just stop that kid from taking the college entrance exam? I'll write a recommendation letter and send him directly to the military for special training. He'll graduate with the rank of division commander. Isn't that better than going to Kyoto University?"

Ning Qin immediately glared and said angrily, "Xia Chaoyang, my school finally produced such a promising talent, are you trying to uproot me?"

With Zhang Yuan's talent, once he joins the army and is specially trained by the military, his identity will definitely be kept secret. In this way, Xihu No.1 Middle School will not be able to benefit from any of Zhang Yuan's honors and achievements.

On a smaller scale, West Lake No. 1 Middle School lost one student who was admitted to Kyoto University this year.

On a larger scale, losing Zhang Yuan as a living advertisement will definitely have a significant impact on the student enrollment of West Lake No. 1 Middle School. In the long run, this will do more harm than good to the school's development.

Xia Chaoyang quickly said, "Hey! Lao Ning, you can't say that. Joining the army is contributing to the country. You need to have a broader perspective."

Ning Qin: "Don't give me that. If that kid gets into Kyoto University, whether he becomes an adventurer to conquer the Abyss or joins the army to defend the country, he'll be contributing to the nation. Besides, it's his choice, not ours."

Seeing Ning Qin's firm attitude, Xia Chaoyang smiled awkwardly and said, "Old Ning, I'm just saying. You have a heart condition, so don't get so agitated. You're right, the choice should be made by the child. We can't force him to choose."

Ning Qin pointed to his eyes with two fingers, then pointed to Xia Chaoyang: "Xia Chaoyang, these old man's eyes will be watching you closely these days, so you can't do anything sneaky!"

Xia Chaoyang replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Lao Ning, I will absolutely not force that child."

After saying that, Xia Chaoyang turned back and gave Zhang Yuan a subtle smile, then lifted the guard and led his troops away.

Seeing Xia Chaoyang's expression, Ning Qin knew that Xia Chaoyang was bound to do something underhanded, so she quickly asked Zhang Yuan, "Zhang Yuan, you must be aiming for Kyoto University, right?"

"Dummy! Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Before Zhang Yuan could reply, Li Xue'er ran over and handed him a bottle of red medicine, saying, "This is my healing potion, drink it first!"

"Advanced healing potion?"

When Zhang Yuan saw the high-grade healing potion that Li Xue'er handed him, his lips twitched. "Little rich girl, even a level 60 adventurer wouldn't dare to use this potion, right? Besides, I'm not injured right now, so you can take it back."

This high-grade healing potion has a market price of 10 yuan per bottle and can directly restore a level 60 adventurer's health to full, making it quite precious.

"Take it if they give it to you!"

Li Xue'er forcefully stuffed the high-grade healing potion into Zhang Yuan's arms, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhang Yuan was taken aback: "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"

Li Xueer: "I shouldn't have abandoned you and teamed up with others. If I had been behind you today, you wouldn't be fighting alone in the Abyss dungeon."

Zhang Yuan replied with a smile, "Luckily I didn't bring you along. If someone had shared the experience, I probably wouldn't have reached level 12 today."

"you!!!"

Li Xue'er was instantly enraged and raised her fist to punch Zhang Yuan, but then she remembered that Zhang Yuan might be injured, so she lowered her fist and just glared at him hatefully: "I'm ignoring you!"

After uttering those harsh words, Li Xue'er turned and left, walking towards Steward Xu, who was standing not far away.

Butler Xu smiled as he watched the sulking Li Xue'er approach, gave a slight bow, and said, "Miss, it's fortunate that Zhang Yuan came out on his own. Otherwise, if the family head had used that treasure on an outsider, he would have skinned me alive."

"Hmph! That idiot doesn't deserve such good stuff, Butler Xu! Let's go!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Butler Xu opened the car door for Li Xueer and once again gave Zhang Yuan an apologetic smile in the distance.

Zhang Yuan watched Li Xue'er leave in her car before turning to Ning Qin. "Principal, you said before that Xue'er's family background is quite terrifying, right?"

Ning Qin nodded: "That's right. To be honest... I was quite surprised when Li Xue'er came to study at our school."

Zhang Yuan: "That's right..."

Ning Qin asked in surprise, "What did you mean?"

Zhang Yuan simply smiled and replied, "Principal, I not only want to get into Kyoto University, but I also want to get in as the top scorer in the country."

Ning Qin was suddenly jolted!

Meanwhile, Li Xueer was sulking in the car.

Butler Xu noticed Li Xue'er's expression and smiled, "Miss, I think you should be happy."

Li Xue'er pouted, "What am I happy about? That idiot can't say a single nice thing, and I was so worried about him."

Butler Xu laughed heartily: "Miss, that's not what I meant. I meant you should be happy for his excellence. Reaching level 12 on your own on the first day, that's a genius among geniuses."

Li Xueer retorted unhappily, "What does his excellence have to do with me?"

Butler Xu: "The patriarch values ​​geniuses very much, especially geniuses among geniuses. The talent Zhang Yuan has shown today should be enough for the patriarch not to object to your relationship with him, Miss."

Li Xue'er's face immediately turned bright red. "Butler Xu! What did you say? Who wants to date that idiot?"

"Hahaha, just pretend I didn't say anything!" Butler Xu laughed heartily when he saw Li Xue'er's reaction.

He watched Li Xue'er grow up and treated her as his own daughter. He also secretly observed Zhang Yuan for three years.

At least, he was quite satisfied with Zhang Yuan, his "son-in-law".

On Li Xueer's way home, Zhang Yuan had already said goodbye to Ning Qin and arrived at the Adventurers' Association in West Lake City.

After registering as adventurers, professionals can accept missions from adventurer associations in cities of all sizes across the country and earn bounties, which is the main source of income for adventurers.

Within the Adventurers' Guild, besides the quest hall where quests are issued, there is another extremely important facility: the Great Xia Empire Exchange.

The exchange was jointly established by the Adventurers' Guild and the official government of the Great Xia Empire.

In the exchange, any citizen of the Great Xia Empire can not only freely buy and sell equipment and materials, but also directly consign items to the exchange for sale, and buyers from all over the country can see the consigned items.

The consignment shop has everything, and you can even find unbound God Stones.

However, generally speaking, those unbound God Stones are bought up the moment they are put on the market, and ordinary people can't get them.

The Destiny Star Array that Zhang Yuan needs to use is located in the exchange.
