410: Chapter 390: Small Profit 410: Chapter 390: Small Profit Looking at the woman on the lance, Lu Ping’an sighed.
How to put it, slightly disappointed.
“Silver-tier professional?
That’s it?”
Lu Ping’an wasn’t mocking, he was genuinely regretful and disappointed.
Of course, he wouldn’t think that Silver-tier battle-professionals were of this level.
Su Zhizhu was just an unlucky support whose entire hand had been revealed and completely countered.
She didn’t have any Silver-tiered Taboo items in her hands, and she relied too much on her Paper Cranes that she didn’t even buy a good weapon, while Lu Ping’an’s equipnt…
was on an entirely different level.
What made Lu Ping’an sigh with regret was that he still had several moves up his sleeve, but there was no chance to use them before it ended like this?
Although most of these moves were not prepared for Su Zhizhu, a target like her was quite hard to find too.
But looking at Su Zhizhu, who had been completely cleaned up, Lu Ping’an could only stop there.
“…Oh, this is a bit troubleso…”
Lu Ping’an wasn’t worried about any future troubles; he was worried that he had played a little too happily earlier, cleaning up the audience too thoroughly.
“…
That guy who opened the bet, he didn’t run away, right?”
Clearly, that guy had been cleaned out already.
Lu Ping’an was worried that he would use the inability to watch the duel as an excuse to run away with the money.
“Lu Ping’an, co here for a mont.”
But as he packed his things and was about to look for soone, Lu Ping’an was stopped by a voice.
Looking up, it was Director Qian, whom he had previously t…
During the college entrance examination period, he was the teacher in charge of the Knight trial, and he had helped him when the students from Science and Technology University ca to retaliate.
Lu Ping’an rembered clearly that without his help, he might not have been able to get his hands on that Brass Battle Axe.
“Teacher Qian, what brings you here?”
“I had so business nearby, saw so students coming in, so I ca to take a look…”
Old Qian’s smile was very joyful, and if any familiar students saw him, they would probably suspect that the famous “Iron-faced Man” had been replaced by soone else.
“…
This is Director Yuan.”
As he spoke, he even actively introduced Lu Ping’an.
The other party also praised him a few tis, but as it was their first eting, they were not familiar with each other and didn’t chat for long.
“…
How did you end up dueling her?
Any disputes?”
Soone casually asked, but many people were waiting for Lu Ping’an’s answer…
If a student challenged a Silver-tier strongman for no reason, even if they were talented, it would be a bit delicate.
“I’m a regular mber of the Special Service Team, and while on a mission so ti ago, she and her partner…
a sowhat famous rcenary duo, targeted .
In the end, my Captain and I repelled them, causing a grudge.
We t again later and agreed to settle it with a duel here.”
Lu Ping’an shrugged, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t say.
Then, the atmosphere ward up, and seeing that Lu Ping’an had an “official background,” Director Yuan beca much more enthusiastic.
He even took the initiative to reveal that this ti’s “Qualification Exam” was slightly special and would be beneficial to one’s future career developnt.
Lu Ping’an should give it a try, as missing it would be a sha.
Upon learning that Lu Ping’an had already signed up, he nodded in satisfaction, praising him as “young and promising” and “the future pillar of the nation”, making Lu Ping’an feel awkward to respond.
At such gatherings of old gentlen, young people weren’t supposed to speak much.
Moreover, being very busy, after chatting for a bit, they went to attend their own matters.
However, Lu Ping’an noticed that the three people who ca with them had been staring at him, revealing a hint of fighting intent…
If the situation were more suitable, they would have co forward to challenge him by now.
Lu Ping’an shook his head, such a small matter was just an interlude, and nothing to be concerned about.
What he cared more about was his bet.
“…
Huh?
He didn’t run away.”
Not only did he not run away, but the man was also standing near the entrance with a smug look on his face.
In front of him were so exuberant winners coming to “redeem their rewards,” and at the sa ti, there was a group of losers with dark faces who lowered their heads and walked straight past.
Lu Ping’an stepped out of the Secret Realm, paused for a mont, and dealt with the “entanglent” of the Lady of the Forest (Big Cat: that crazy lady).
However, he didn’t notice that when he appeared outside the Secret Realm, the originally bustling trading market had stopped for a mont, with countless gazes cast over to him.
Among them, there were envy, surprise, anger, but mostly, awe.
The next mont, everything returned to normal, and people carried on as if nothing had happened.
If Lu Ping’an had really been just an ordinary 2-tier, perhaps so of the losers would had co to curse at him and demand their money back.
But now, he had proven his strength.
Defeating a fourth-tier head-on, even if it was a support, he still proved that he had enough combat power to stand on his own and was a “fierce character” worth having an independent “title”.
Thus, claiming his “reward” went exceptionally smoothly.
“Cash or check?”
“Don’t you support transfers?”
“That’s too much trouble; you have to ask people for their card numbers and go to the bank to fill out forms…”
Lu Ping’an slapped his head, realizing that he had taken this for granted.
It must be the fault of the tis.
However, in this world where people fear AI as much as the “Sky Net,” the era of large-scale electronic paynts might never co to fruition.
Lu Ping’an took the money and stuffed it directly into his “Space Bag.” Seeing the gambler’s huge bag behind him, he knew why the man hadn’t run off.
“Made a fortune?” Lu Ping’an asked with a smile.
“Thanks to your blessing…
This is for your hard work.
Please take it.
Please give this face.”
Seeing Lu Ping’an’s expression, the gambler shuddered, thought for a mont, and without hesitation, parted with the money reluctantly.
It wasn’t much, just tens of thousands, but it would be considered a fortune for ordinary people.
I didn’t an it like that…
Lu Ping’an truly didn’t intend to “extort” money.
He stopped to ask because he was curious if the majority of people had indeed bet on Su Zhizhu, making the bookies a fortune.
He also wanted to ask, just how many people had bet on Su Zhizhu…
“…I really can’t accept this.”
But since it was offered, he casually accepted it.
He patted himself on the shoulder and walked away, letting the gamblers breathe a sigh of relief…
Having soone in uniform around naturally made people feel uneasy.
Su Zhizhu?
No one saw her, probably not wanting to see anyone.
she might have used her invisibility ability to leave directly.
In a short ti, she probably wouldn’t be seen in the ancient city.
She might even pack up and leave tonight.
But soon enough, really soon, Lu Ping’an saw her again…
she was crying while hitting a sandbag at the target inside the gym.
“Bastard Lu Ping’an!
Bully!
Cheat…”
However, by her side, her best friend Baman Zhen seed eager to join the fray, not because she wanted to stand up for Su Zhizhu.
But if Su Zhizhu really was bullied, then Lu Ping’an seed to be a good opponent to go all out against.
“Um…”
Lu Ping’an hesitated for a mont, but still gave up on recruiting her while she was in a low mood.
Although if he had used the “Drink this cup of blood…
Sign this contract, and you’ll beco stronger” approach at this ti, the success rate would indeed be higher than usual.
However, secrets eventually get exposed, and Lu Ping’an felt it was better to be a slightly better person…
Yes, it’s definitely not because when exposed, he might be dragged down with her.
At this point, Xia Qin suddenly ran over and gave Lu Ping’an an unexpected piece of news.
“You guys are also going to take the exam?
Is your Secret Keeper qualification certificate expiring?”
“No, it’s a new docunt that’s co down.
It’s asking captains under the age of thirty to take another test for an additional certification called the Explorer’s Certificate or sothing.”
