Bounty

On the other end, Lin Chang`an was dragged back to school.

He didn’t wish to go to school either, but he’d be kicked out if he were to miss too many classes.

With the unified examination coming, the school had entered the phase for the final dash—predicting the questions and getting seniors to share their experiences.

These were the two best ways of raising one’s scores and ranks in the final phase.

When the seniors shared their experiences, they would also share some tips in battles.

“Some people don’t have any more hopes, but most of the people in our class still have a chance and might not necessarily fail!” said the form teacher with great spirit.

“Male students, think about it. A beautiful goddess and a 67-year-old granny, which would you choose? There are another ten days before things are decided!”

“I’ll choose the old granny…” someone said softly. “It’s not for any other reason but that this is my preference.”

“Scram!”

“Alright.” The class’s notorious joker went out of the classroom and stood outside as a punishment.

“Those who are ranked at the bottom of the class, other than someone in particular, don’t give up either. Believe in yourself. You guys can do it!”

Most gazes turned toward Lin Chang`an, and some of them were secretly laughing.

He had never displayed his qi and blood value in class. As a result, other than Su Xi`er, no one knew that he was now first in class—no, first in the school.

Moreover, his qi and blood value was of the pure yang attribute, and thus he had overwhelming battle prowess.

Some of them also looked dejected after thinking of themselves as they looked at Lin Chang`an.

At the thought of having to be put through forceful pairing, they felt great heartache and had a strong urge to commit suicide.

Su Xi`er thought that the reason Lin Chang`an wanted to keep things a secret must be to temper his Dao Heart.

“Mn, then I won’t stand up for him then.”

Lin Chang`an pretended he didn’t hear what the form teacher had said. He quietly continued with his cultivation, absorbing heaven and earth spirit qi, trying his best to bring his cultivation to the greatest limit he could before the unified examination.

He didn’t have any thoughts about proving the others wrong.

After class, those ranked at the bottom crowded together. “Brothers, what should we do?”

“My family has found me a wife that looks decent. I don’t think I’ll have a problem having three children in five years.”

“F*ck, I’m so envious!”

“Sigh, your family is rich. I’m a f*cking goner. No one will want to be with me!”

“It’s the same for me. I can only hope that I can get a decent partner in the forceful pairing…”

“Don’t think about it. There’s one run every three days. How can there be so many good ones? Sooner or later you will meet one that weighs 150 kilograms. It will already be counted as a great blessing to not encounter a transvestite!”

As they said this, someone couldn’t help but start crying.

“Stop crying! Don’t be so useless!”

“No matter how bad things are for you guys, you still have a chance, right? Look at Lin Chang`an…”

The few of them looked toward Lin Chang`an, feeling a little better. The one who was crying earlier also stopped.

No matter how bad they were, they had over 200 or even 300 in qi and blood value. If they were lucky enough, they’d still have a chance.

Previously, Lin Chang`an was tested to have a qi and blood value of 134. It was so low that it was preposterous. He had no chances at all.

Regardless of how lucky he was, even if he drew a good lot for practical combat, it’d be useless.

“That’s right, brothers! Good luck!”

“If there’s a miracle, it’ll definitely be us!” All of their gazes lit up with burning flames.

…

During the break at noon, Lin Chang`an was cultivating when a series of surprised gasps suddenly rang out in the classroom.

“The second young master of the Rong Clan died!”

“Oh god!

“How did he die?”

“It seems that he was killed in the dungeon. The Rong Clan Corporation is offering a bounty! 10 million!”

Surprised gasps instantly rang out in the classroom.

At the mention of 10 million, Lin Chang`an even had the impulse of reporting himself.

10 million… How many lifetimes would it take him to earn this much?

Moreover, this 10 million was just for a lead!

“Why not try letting someone else report me?” A thought flashed past in his mind. He then quickly shook his head.

At this moment, he kept on recalling the events back then and quickly realized that he had a high possibility of getting exposed.

It was because his appearance there was too strange.

“The Rong Clan Corporation is really generous! This way, anyone with even the slightest bit of suspicion will probably be turned inside out!”

“That person is destined to not be able to escape.”

“Unless they are a fourth-realm expert. Otherwise, they are doomed!”

The strongest in the Rong Clan Corporation was a fourth-realm expert and his might towered as high as the sky. Those in this realm were often thought to be non-humans.

Hearing the voices of discussions, Lin Chang`an activated simulations.

[Simulation starts!]

[The Rong Clan Corporation offered a bounty, sticking advertisements in the streets and alleys across the entire Qindao City. Everyone discussed amongst themselves fervently.]

[Very soon, all sorts of guesses appeared and the name list of those who had entered the dungeon was also leaked.]

[Those people with suspicions were all found, and many of them were put through harsh torture.]

[As your realm was too low, you weren’t suspected at the beginning. Later on, people found it strange and started to study you.]

[The police came to the school and questioned you. You passed things off.]

[After that, more and more people started to investigate you. As your appearance was too strange, some people even claimed to have seen the second young master of the Rong Clan chasing after you.]

[Due to Su Xi`er’s background, most people didn’t dare to lay a hand on you. However, when it was getting close to the college entrance examination, some of them still chose to take the risk.]

[A second-realm expert made a move and you were caught!]

[In a dark and humid prison, you died after being put through all sorts of harsh torture.]

Lin Chang`an’s countenance turned grim.

“Human’s wicked nature is completely displayed in front of money.”

10 million was enough to drive people crazy. The reason the Rong Clan Corporation offered this bounty was clearly because they wanted to achieve this effect.

Looking to the front, Lin Chang`an chose the D-Grade Pain Endurance Talent.

“Your endurance of injuries and pain is 1.1 times that of ordinary people.”

He ran another simulation. This time around, he chose to hide in the police station.

What other place could be safer than the police station?

No matter how arrogant the Rong Clan was, they wouldn’t dare to make a move here.

However, a problem still occurred in this simulation.

It wasn’t because of the police station. Instead, after the unified examination, the Rong Clan chose to take the route of killing wrongly over missing a target. He was then killed.

[Your results in the unified examination were ranked at the bottom. When you drew the lot, you’d have to battle against someone from the A Group or higher. You were very unlucky and were the first to fight.]

[You could only get into a C-Grade academy.]

[The Rong Clan didn’t care for a student who was merely from a C-Grade academy.]

[A third-realm expert then made a move and wiped you out.]

Even when he died, they weren’t certain if he was the murderer. They didn’t even have 1% confidence that he was. However, they still killed him.

“F*ck the major clan that throws their weight around with their power. They see that I’m an insignificant person, so they make an easy decision to crush me to death…

“A particle of dust in a major clan would weigh like a mountain when landing on an ordinary person!

“However, my bad luck is to blame as well. I originally had a chance this time around.”

After choosing the memory fragment, Lin Chang`an started his cultivation silently.

His qi and blood value steadily rose, being as wide as the ocean.

1,629, 1631, 1635… 1,702, 1,715…

It was as if it didn’t have a bottleneck and the cultivation went extremely smoothly.

He didn’t listen in the classes and did nothing but cultivate in the time he had.

Just like that, the incident continued for two days.

As Lin Chang`an had expected, the police came to the school.

Both his entry and exit from the dungeon were too unique.

Although Chu Li could quietly wipe off all traces, there was no hiding the pass she had gotten for him.

Moreover, everyone knew that the Second Young Master Rong had a preference for guys. It was very normal for him to be suspected.

The form teacher kept on adding fuel to the flame, saying, “I’ve never thought well of this student. He’s always dragging the class down with him. What problem has he gotten into this time around?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t be asking.”

The two policemen took Lin Chang`an away.

One of them was a middle-aged man and the other a young man. It was the same standard group setup.

The middle-aged man was the same as the one previously, but the young man was a different one.

“We meet again,” Lin Chang`an greeted him warmly.

The middle-aged man had a solemn look on his face.
