After speaking, Sanhua suddenly grabbed Lucian's arm.
"?"
Lucian asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Did you take a fancy to
and want to drag
back to warm your bed?"
Faced with Lucian's teasing, Sanhua's heart remained utterly unmoved—perhaps she was already used to it.
"I'm taking you back to Jinzhou to undergo a physical examination at Huaxu Academy."
"???"
"You're not from Solaris, yet your frequency exists in its original form in this world. That's strange."
"Moreover, did you beco a Resonator as soon as you arrived in this world, or was it by chance after leaving the city?"
"Regardless of the reason, all Resonators must submit a physical examination report at Huaxu Academy."
[Ding! Option triggered!]
[Option 1: Agree to Sanhua and go to Huaxu Academy for the examination and report! Reward: Item 'Strange Glasses']
[Option 2: Knock Sanhua out and sneak away. Reward: Blood Saber Technique
1 Level]
"Tsk—" Lucian sucked in a cold breath. "Only two options this ti?"
"That Blood Saber Technique upgrade is way too tempting!"
Though skill levels could still be raised through daily practice, it was nowhere near as fast as a direct upgrade from the system.
Lucian hesitated. Most importantly, he had no idea what the "Strange Glasses" from the first option did.
Every ti the system issued these choices, it never explained the rewards' specific functions—he could only guess based on their nas.
In the end, though, Lucian chose not to strike Sanhua.
After all, he wasn't the kind of guy who would attack a beautiful girl!
"Fine, I'll agree. But you have to promise
one condition too!"
Sanhua: "What condition?"
...

[—Edited by: Master Jinhsi's Dog]
The mont the post went up, it instantly exploded across the entire Jinya Forum. After all, the forum was usually just for daily gossip—nothing as major as this.
Especially since it coincided with the Magistrate's city-wide announcent, it was practically the drama of the year!

Sanhua watched as Lucian grinned foolishly at the forum:
"Do you care that much about your reputation?"
Lucian: "If everyone in Jinzhou knows , I can start livestreaming sales!"
Sanhua looked baffled: "Livestreaming sales? What does that an…?"
Lucian explained the concept to her.
Sanhua pondered: "Would people really buy things they don't need just because soone sweet-talks them?"
"And this 'livestreaming sales' you speak of—is it really that profitable?"
Lucian placed his hands on his hips: "Of course! Since ancient tis, sincerity never lasts, only sches win hearts. It's all about the tactics!"
Sanhua rubbed her chin, then said seriously: "I won't let you do that."
"?"
Sanhua: "Fundantally, it's a form of deceiving custors."
Lucian argued earnestly: "How can a rchant's thods be called deception?"
Sanhua: "Regardless, neither I nor the Magistrate will allow it. If you're short on money, you can start a legitimate business."
Lucian sighed: "If that's the case, I'll just have to scam—I an, borrow so money from Aalto first."
Sanhua frowned: "I'm aware of your dealings with Aalto. But it's best not to do that—it's still a form of deception."
Lucian exclaid indignantly: "You won't let
do this, won't let
do that—what exactly am I allowed to do? Hand
Jinzhou's legal code! I need to study it carefully!"
Sanhua was puzzled: "What does making money have to do with the law?"
Lucian: "The world's most profitable thods are all written in the legal code!"
Sanhua remained expressionless: "I'd hate for the person who arrests you and throws you into Jinzhou's prison to be ."
Lucian patted Sanhua's head speechlessly: "Dummy! Of course, I don't an breaking the law—ugh, you wouldn't understand even if I explained!"
Sanhua grabbed Lucian's arm again: "I don't know what you're planning, but I can recomnd a job for you."
"What job?"
"You can beco a Magistrate's Guard like ."
