Chapter 51: Two Worlds, Upright People

“Ling Jiu!!!”

“Why is he in there?”

“The important guest Chief Wang mentioned is Ling Jiu? You gotta be kidding!”

Looking at Ling Jiu inside the room, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

“The important guest Uncle Wang’s talked out… It turned out to be him?”

Ai Jiacheng’s 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 couldn’t understand it!

His classmates were even more confounded!

“Ling 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?”

A few of the girls who had ridiculed Ling Jiu earlier had an ashen look on their faces.

“Hold a grudge against you lot? You gotta be joking!”

Li Kai snorted. “In Ol’ Ling’s eyes, you lot are just a bunch of buzzing flies. To be calculative to flies? He’s not that mean!”

“I’ll tell you the truth. Ol’ 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!”

“Hold a grudge? What are you even thinking of!”

“What?!”

“A Level 4 Arcanist?”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp as their eyes were filled with shock. Wu Na exclaimed. “Li Kai, you’re joking, right? How long has it been since Ling Jiu’s awakening?”

“Yeah, you two had only awakened your Arcana in May, and it’s only been seven months now, how could Ling Jiu become a Level 4 Arcanist is such a short period of time?” The freckled girl muttered.

“Do you think I’m bullsh*tting?”

Li Kai sniggered as he took out his microcomputer and logged into the company’s official website, pulling out Ling Jiu’s personal information and showed it to everyone.

“Open your eyes and take a good look!” Li Kai snorted coldly.

“Ling Jiu is really a level 4 Arcanist!!”

Looking at Ling Jiu’s personal information, both Wu Na and the freckled girl went silent, all of the classmates also fell silent.

“Ling Jiu is really a Level 4 Arcanist?”

Even the class monitor, Xu Gang’s, voice trembled a little. “There aren’t that many level 4 Arcanists in Lantian Base City, right?”

“You think?”

Li Kai felt triumphant as if he was a Level 4 Arcanist himself. “With Ol’ Ling’s current strength and the talents he demonstrated, he will either become a top echelon of the company or join the HQ for further training!”

“In any case, Ol’ Ling’s future is bright, with an 80% chance of him being a high-level Arcanist, and a 40% chance to become an elite Arcanist!”

“He 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?”

“A high-level Arcanist!”

“An elite Arcanist!”

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.

Just like Li Kai!

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 then…

At this moment, everyone’s 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!

“Sigh! Why didn’t I notice the gold nugget in Ling Jiu before?”

Wu Na was bitter inside.

Yet she did not know that her boyfriend had different thoughts. “A 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 Pangu’s super training camp, and once he comes out of it…”

“A Level 6 Arcanist!”

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!”

“I totally did not expect such a person to appear in Lantian Base City! I’ve screwed up just now! No, I have to foster a good relationship with him. Even if I can’t be friends, I cannot afford to make an enemy out of him!”

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 Na’s hands, and walked towards the private room Ling Jiu and Wang Chao were at.

“Jiacheng, what are you doing?”

Wu Na asked quickly.

“Going and meet that classmate of yours!”

Ai Jiacheng smiled and walked into the room.

…

“Brother Ling, the Beast Tide this time is really all thanks to you… Let’s cut to the chase, cheers!”

After downing several glasses of alcohol, Wang Chao’s face became reddish. “I’m a straightforward person, so I won’t beat around the bush with you. The reason I’m treating you for dinner is one, to thank you, and two, to invite you to join the military district!”

“Join the military district?”

Ling Jiu was surprised.

“That’s right!”

Wang Chao said bluntly. “Brother 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!”

“Let’s take this Beast Tide for example!”

“You 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!”

“And the result was?”

“There 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!”

“To be honest, I was very disappointed!”

Wang Chao sighed. “Even 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!”

“Why?”

“What else but cowardice?”

“Of 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.

“Sigh! If all Arcanists were to accept a unified command, with strict adherence to orders and prohibitions, the elimination of Direbeasts won’t even be a problem!”
