Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Xiaoran, come and see what I brought for you... Hey, you’re here too. Oh, sorry to disturb you guys. I didn’t mean to intrude. You guys can continue whatever you were doing.”

Lin Xuan knocked on Lin Xiaoran’s door and immediately shouted when he arrived. The door opened immediately, but it wasn’t Lin Xiaoran who opened the door. It was Li Zifei.

In that instant, Lin Xuan understood what was going on. His friend was trying to earn some brownie points.

“Lin Xuan, you’re back. The two of us aren’t what you think... Actually, I was waiting for you!”

Li Zifei’s face was dark and she seemed extremely unhappy with Lin Xuan’s assumption. She didn’t expect Lin Xuan to come back so late. Didn’t she tell him that she was waiting for him at his place?!

Was it because she was not pretty enough, or was there another young lady outside waiting for him?

“What, you were waiting for me? At Xiaoran’s house?”

Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Xiaoran — who just walked out of the room — and pursed his lips. What was going on?

“She’s been waiting for you all night. You’re not going to leave again, are you?”

Lin Xiaoran’s face was just as dark. Although Li Zifei was very pretty and very pleasing to the eye, the pretty young lady was not here to look for him. Instead, she was here to look for his friend. This was very uncomfortable.

“Take this. I brought you something. Remember to call me when you’re done cooking.”

Lin Xuan handed over the ingredients that he bought today to Lin Xiaoran. Then, he looked at Li Zifei and said, “Alright then, let’s have a chat. I roughly know why you’re here to look for me. It’s to form a fixed team, right?”

The moment he entered the house, Lin Xuan wanted to cut to the chase. It was already quite late. He had been in dungeons for a whole day and was very tired.

......

“Indeed. My father watched the video of our dungeon. You definitely have more than an S+ grade defensive talent. It’s hard for him to judge exactly how high you are... Of course, what I want to say now is that if you, Lin Xiaoran, and I can form a fixed team, we might get to participate in tournaments.”

Li Zifei listened to Lin Xuan and directly said what she had been holding back for the whole day.

“Yes, I do have more than an S+ grade defensive talent. I won’t talk about the specifics, but tell me, why would I, a guardian with at least an S+ grade talent, bring you two S grade talent ability users around with me? Wouldn’t it be better for me to team up with my classmates with the same grade talent?

“Also, it’s just as you said. We have the ability to participate in tournaments, but how far can we go? Isn’t there already a team with a group of S grade talent ability users called the Fish Belly team?

“Would you be willing to accept an A grade talent ability user in your team?

“If you’re not willing, then let me tell you, I’m not willing to make do either. It’s only the start of our semester. All the high school students in the country are choosing their teammates. If I can’t find them in my class, then I’ll go to the other schools. If I can’t find them in the school, then I’ll go to the province or search the whole country.”

After hearing that, Li Zifei sat on the stool listlessly. Finally, she lay on the table and sobbed.

Lin Xuan took a tissue and gave it to her.

“I… just… I just wanted to participate in tournaments with you.”

Li Zifei sobbed as she raised her head while her tears flowed down.

“Wipe it off.” Lin Xuan stuffed the tissue into her hand while he spoke, “Who doesn’t want to participate in tournaments? It’s how you get the recognition and move up ranks! I’ll be satisfied to even be in the top thirty! Who knows… Maybe I’ll reach first place one day…”

Lin Xuan lowered his head as he watched Li Zifei with a determined and ambitious look. SSS talent was the top talent in the world. As long as he didn’t waste time on trivial matters. Forming a three man team with two other ability users with SSS talent would definitely be something on top of his priority list.

Li Zifei was stunned. Having such a goal seemed like a faraway dream for her. Then, Li Zifei thoroughly thought about it. Was it really that easy to win first place in tournaments?

When she thought about Lin Xuan’s S+ grade defensive talent, she wisely shut her mouth. In the past, the guardian who had taken first place in the high school tournament had a similar talent level.

After realizing her place, Li Zifei calmed herself down. She took a tissue and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “I’m sorry. I was rash. Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye.”

As she said that, she picked up her bag and left. A middle-aged man who looked like a butler was waiting at the door. Then, they drove away.

In the kitchen, Lin Xiaoran poked his head out. “Hey, where’s the school belle? Why adid she leave? I’ve already prepared the dishes. She?should at least have a bite.”

“Don’t know. Finally, you’re done. I’m starving.”

“...”

After dinner, Lin Xuan returned to his room. It was a small room that was nine square meters. He barely managed to set up a bed, but there was nothing else inside the room.

Lying on the bed, Lin Xuan was still wondering if the words he said to Li Zifei before were too harsh and direct. Was he…

He did not think much before he quickly fell asleep. While he slept, he unknowingly caused a stir in the general population. The powerful talent that he displayed had already caused people to start paying attention to him.

In other words, his identity had been exposed!

…

In the Li family.

“Did you cry today? What happened?”

“I’ve been rejected by the boy to form a team.”

“Do you have his information?”

The middle-aged man took down his name. On it was all of Lin Xuan’s detailed information, as well as a few photos taken from various angles.

“Lin Xuan...”

Coincidentally, there were also people in the Ability User Guild City reporting to the upper echelons of the ability users in Dongning City about Lin Xuan’s matter.

“Vice president, there are three thousand four hundred and twenty-nine high school freshmen that registered for ability users today.”

“I see. These people are the future of our city. Pass down my orders and make sure that they’re provided with suitable missions.”

The vice president raised his head and said this in his spare time. Then, he lowered his head to think about this the growth of his city. However, when he noticed that his secretary did not leave directly, he raised his head again. “Is there anything else?”

“Yes, there is a newly registered ability user today. His number is 264,586,362. He has consecutively accepted three missions in a row. The mission replies were all very satisfied with his work. However, I checked the mission submission records and realized that there was something unusual.”

“What’s amiss? Why would something like that need to be faked?”

“The quantity produced seemed like it was exaggerated.”

“Let me take a look.”

The vice president entered his serial number on the intelligent light screen. Lin Xuan’s profile picture was hung on the left, and the mission record was at the back.

“Did he go by himself? How did he get such a high score?”

“I checked the surveillance in the dungeon building, he went in himself.”

“What?!”
