Chapter 85: Chapter 85: This Is No Ordinary Runner-Up—It’s Time for a Heavy Strike!
Seeing this person, Lin Ye couldn’t help but be taken aback for a moment.
He almost blurted out this guy’s name.
But after a second thought, he realized that the one who fiercely ripped off a fortune from the Unicorn Bull Guild must be this guy right in front of him.
Liang Houyun, a fellow who had interactions with Lin Ye in the previous lifetime.
Though he seemed unreliable, in many critical moments in the previous life, Liang Houyun helped Lin Ye out.
It was also Liang Houyun and Liu Qingshan who orchestrated Lin Ye’s entry into the Holy Light Church Court!
This guy appeared frivolous on the surface, with a penchant for gambling and women, but he hailed from a Priestly Family and he himself was a Holy Knight with immense strength.
Of course, as you sow, so shall you reap; later the Liang Family got embroiled in infighting within the Church Court, and it was Lin Ye risking his life to protect Liang Houyun.
The two were very good friends.
As for why he’s here looking for me...
Lin Ye did recall that this guy, for a time, to escape the ascetic life of the Church Court, ran off to the Alliance Military Academy and worked as a teacher there for a while.
He often bragged about this, saying he had been a professor at a top university, with his vast knowledge and handsome looks, gaining the favor of female teachers and students.
Now it seems, this rascal is indeed shameless to the extreme, how dare he call himself a professor when merely a recruitment teacher?
"Hey, hey! I’m talking to you! Why are you daydreaming?"
Liang Houyun made a face at Lin Ye, not changing his frivolous nature.
Lin Ye found it amusing but feigned irritation on his face and said, "Uncle, you don’t look like a good person..."
Liang Houyun couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his cigarette falling to the ground, asking in shock, "No way, did you just call me uncle?"
Whether or not I’m a good person doesn’t matter, but you calling me uncle, you must account for this!
"Don’t bully the kid!" At this moment, a cool voice came from the side.
Lin Ye looked over...
He didn’t recognize the woman, but it was obvious she was another university recruitment teacher.
"Oh... why are you so persistent?" Liang Houyun scratched his head, looking troubled at Duan Xiaoxue.
Unexpectedly, she found him so quickly.
"Ha, you say I’m persistent? How about you putting a surveillance device on me?" Duan Xiaoxue glared at Liang Houyun.
Unexpectedly, this guy, a Holy Knight, secretly played dirty!
Utterly shameless!
"Ah? What are you talking about? What surveillance device, I know nothing about it!" Liang Houyun spread his hands, looking like a rogue unable to be dealt with.
Duan Xiaoxue gritted her teeth, stepping forward to settle scores with Liang Houyun.
But at this moment, sensing something, Liang Houyun turned his head only to see that Lin Ye was nowhere in sight?
"No way, this guy sneaked away right under my nose?"
Liang Houyun was a bit dumbfounded.
Can a mere Level 10 teenager really do this?
...
"Need to find a way to get that hundred million from Liang Houyun."
Lin Ye, with new gear mixed in the crowd, even adjusted his posture and pace to disguise his height.
He wasn’t really interested in top universities and such.
Every year, Novice Professionals rack their brains trying to get into top universities primarily because they want to enjoy the exclusive Secret Realm resources there.
In this regard, the quantity and quality of Secret Realms exclusive to top universities undoubtedly far exceed ordinary ones.
And each university’s exclusive Secret Realm resources also dictate its character.
For example, ones with more Warrior Series Secret Realm resources attract more Warrior Series professionals, and so on.
And this is Lin Ye’s main reason for participating in Champion Battlefield.
Because, as long as it’s possible to achieve a top ten position in Champion Battlefield, then one can gain access to all secret realms!
Thus, no need to consider universities, even enrolling directly in a ninth-rate school like Shan City Vocational Technical College, Lin Ye can freely explore top university Secret Realms.
Of course, he could also choose not to enroll!
But before entering Champion Battlefield, Lin Ye had some things to do.
"The Level must be increased, the top spot on the Novice leaderboard at the settlement allows an opportunity to select skills at Skill Divine Hall Golden Hall!"
Skill Divine Hall, a special Secret Realm, with the highest specification Golden Hall offering a chance to obtain Golden Quality skills.
But only the top-ranked novice can enter the Golden Hall, others have to settle for Silver Hall, Bronze Hall...
If not for entering Golden Hall, Lin Ye wouldn’t make the effort to farm something like ’Purification of Stratholme’, this large Secret Realm.
Because, only this Secret Realm might enable Lin Ye to leap directly from 10 Level to 15 Level, securing the top spot on the Level leaderboard!
It looks as if Lin Ye leveled up in three days what others did in a month, but actually, Lin Ye’s monster farming numbers over those three days and nights absolutely surpassed others’ monthly total!
Appearances are deceptive!
Only those other 99 professionals who fought alongside him know exactly how much sweat Lin Ye shed for those 5 Level gains.
Many were completely convinced and became Lin Ye’s most ardent fans upon witnessing his frantic efforts.
Lin Ye indeed has a big reputation, but he indeed worked frantically!
If only they had Lin Ye’s ability, they might have already found a faction to focus on their Healer work.
After all, with such healing skills, treatment couldn’t possibly be poor.
Yet for leveling up, Lin Ye burned the midnight oil for three days straight... what kind of iron-willed determination does it take to accomplish this?
"Waiting for that Demon God Space wasted too much time."
Lin Ye muttered, he waited ten days for Demon God Space to arrive, not leveling during that time.
As a result, he dropped from the top hundred on the Level leaderboard, now just managing to regain the top spot.
But hasn’t widened the gap.
Especially Ke Jue, sharing the same Level as Lin Ye, the difference possibly being Lin Ye merely leading by a few experience points.
If her backer is willing to spend resources to find someone to guide her through a Level 20 Secret Realm, she might well explode with experience value.
Lin Ye glanced at the time, only five days left till the end-of-month leaderboard settlement.
In these five days, he must ensure Ke Jue loses all hope of snatching the top spot!
"This isn’t an ordinary second place, hitting hard is crucial!"
Top spot, I must take it!
Champion Battlefield, I must go!
