Chapter 51: Two Worlds, Upright People
âWhy is he in there?â
âThe important guest Chief Wang mentioned is Ling Jiu? You gotta be kidding!â
Looking at Ling Jiu inside the room, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
âThe important guest Uncle Wangâs talked out⊠It turned out to be him?â
Ai Jiachengâs face turned pale, he did not expect that the important guest Uncle Wang wanted to meet was Ling Jiu.
One was just an ordinary Arcanist!
Another was the chief of the base city military district!
They were clearly people from two different worlds, how did they get involved together?
He couldnât understand it!
His classmates were even more confounded!
âLing Jiu is actually the guest of Chief. We had ridiculed him like that earlier, if he holds a grudge, how are we to survive in the base city?â
A few of the girls who had ridiculed Ling Jiu earlier had an ashen look on their faces.
âHold a grudge against you lot? You gotta be joking!â
Li Kai snorted. âIn Olâ Lingâs eyes, you lot are just a bunch of buzzing flies. To be calculative to flies? Heâs not that mean!â
âIâll tell you the truth. Olâ Ling is already a level 4 Arcanist. The gap between you and him is like the ants on the ground, and the dragons in the heavens. You are nothing in his eyes!â
âHold a grudge? What are you even thinking of!â
âA Level 4 Arcanist?â
Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp as their eyes were filled with shock. Wu Na exclaimed. âLi Kai, youâre joking, right? How long has it been since Ling Jiuâs awakening?â
âYeah, you two had only awakened your Arcana in May, and itâs only been seven months now, how could Ling Jiu become a Level 4 Arcanist is such a short period of time?â The freckled girl muttered.
âDo you think Iâm bullsh*tting?â
Li Kai sniggered as he took out his microcomputer and logged into the companyâs official website, pulling out Ling Jiuâs personal information and showed it to everyone.
âOpen your eyes and take a good look!â Li Kai snorted coldly.
âLing Jiu is really a level 4 Arcanist!!â
Looking at Ling Jiuâs personal information, both Wu Na and the freckled girl went silent, all of the classmates also fell silent.
âLing Jiu is really a Level 4 Arcanist?â
Even the class monitor, Xu Gangâs, voice trembled a little. âThere arenât that many level 4 Arcanists in Lantian Base City, right?â
Li Kai felt triumphant as if he was a Level 4 Arcanist himself. âWith Olâ Lingâs current strength and the talents he demonstrated, he will either become a top echelon of the company or join the HQ for further training!â
âIn any case, Olâ Lingâs future is bright, with an 80% chance of him being a high-level Arcanist, and a 40% chance to become an elite Arcanist!â
âHe and us⊠are destined to people of two different worlds, and you lot dared to ridicule him? Who gave you lot that courage I wonder?â
âA high-level Arcanist!â
Everyone had mixed feelings. If they knew that Ling Jiu was such an outstanding person, they would have tried to foster good relationship with him earlier. After all, they had been classmates for 3 years, and they do have the chance.
Since he had a good relationship with Ling Jiu, the two of them often talked to each other and ate together. Li Kai too often posted pictures of the two eating together in the group chat.
They believe that as long as Li Kai maintained this simple classmate relationship, and even a slight help from Ling Jiu was enough to benefit Li Kai for life.
Many of the prettier girls were extremely regretful. There was a saying that it was easier for a girl to chase after a guy; they had a natural advantage, and if only they were a little more proactive back thenâŠ
At this moment, everyoneâs emotions were so mixed that they no longer had the mood to eat. And even the dazzling Wu Na felt empty inside as her rich boyfriend did not look all that fanciful anymore. No matter how great his family was, he was only an ordinary Arcanist.
While Ling Jiu may not have the family background, his future was limitless!
âSigh! Why didnât I notice the gold nugget in Ling Jiu before?â
Yet she did not know that her boyfriend had different thoughts. âA level 4 Arcanist at just 16, and had awakened his Arcana for only seven months. This condition is fully in line with the requirements for Panguâs super training camp, and once he comes out of itâŠâ
âA Level 6 Arcanist!â
Ai Jiacheng shuddered. Although the Ai family was big and powerful and was one of the famous Arcanist families in the northwest, there were scarcely any Level 6 Arcanists!â
âI totally did not expect such a person to appear in Lantian Base City! Iâve screwed up just now! No, I have to foster a good relationship with him. Even if I canât be friends, I cannot afford to make an enemy out of him!â
Ai Jiacheng was not just a rich person who only knows to show off and sleep around with girls. He was a thoughtful person, and there was a saying that many friends equates many roads, this was his way of life.
Thinking of this, Ai Jiacheng pulled away from his girlfriend, Wu Naâs hands, and walked towards the private room Ling Jiu and Wang Chao were at.
âJiacheng, what are you doing?â
âGoing and meet that classmate of yours!â
Ai Jiacheng smiled and walked into the room.
âBrother Ling, the Beast Tide this time is really all thanks to you⊠Letâs cut to the chase, cheers!â
After downing several glasses of alcohol, Wang Chaoâs face became reddish. âIâm a straightforward person, so I wonât beat around the bush with you. The reason Iâm treating you for dinner is one, to thank you, and two, to invite you to join the military district!â
âJoin the military district?â
Wang Chao said bluntly. âBrother Ling, you may not know, while the Arcanists of the Arcana organizations are also hunting the Direbeasts, and contributing to mankind, but they are often very utilitarian, and would not obey orders and dispatches!â
âLetâs take this Beast Tide for example!â
âYou know the danger of the Bloodgorger Bat, and to kill it we have issued a special notice, hoping to get the help of the Arcanists!â
âAnd the result was?â
âThere are nearly 2,000 Arcanists in the entire Lantian Base City, and only you, Brother Ling, who were willing to help us kill the Bloodgorger Bat!â
âTo be honest, I was very disappointed!â
Wang Chao sighed. âEven the lowest level of those in charge of the Arcana organizations are all level 4 or 5 Arcanists. As long as they were willing to help, holding back the Bloodgorger Bat would be totally possible, but sadly, there was no one!â
âWhat else but cowardice?â
âOf course, it is natural to be afraid of death, and we cannot force them. After all, all of them were big shots worth tens of billions, what a shame if they died!
Ling Jiu smiled bitterly.
âSigh! If all Arcanists were to accept a unified command, with strict adherence to orders and prohibitions, the elimination of Direbeasts wonât even be a problem!â
