The System's Generous Rewards

At Guo Tianjiu's words, Huang Bo and Qin Kan's gazes instantly narrowed.

The rest of the boys and girls were also curious.

In previous vacations, Zhu Yaoguang had either been in secret realms killing monsters to improve her combat experience or idling at home.

Now that the college entrance exam was over, it was time for her to take a break, right?

If one were to ask where to go for fun in the summer, the beach was definitely the top choice.

Of course, as for the boys, they were more interested in seeing Zhu Yaoguang in a swimsuit!

Guo Fuliu, however, shook her head slightly, signaling that this group of boys was truly beyond saving.

Everyone looked at the white-haired, red-eyed princess with anticipation.

However, Zhu Yaoguang shook her head gently. "I don't want to go on vacation for now. I've already planned a trip to Yundong City."

Yundong City.

Wasn't that the city where the Jobless Freelancer lived?

Zhu Yaoguang actually wanted to go and learn about that Ling Zhan!

Huang Bo's expression darkened instantly.

Qin Kan's face remained calm and composed, but a cold glint flashed deep within his eyes.

The name Ling Zhan had officially made an impression in his mind.

"Yaoguang, you don't really want to deal with that Jobless Freelancer, do you?" Huang Bo asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, that stinky guy is so arrogant. I tried to greet him, and he was completely indifferent," Guo Tianjiu added, pouting.

Guo Fuliu's eyes narrowed slightly; she was also becoming a bit curious about this Ling Zhan.

What kind of eccentric person could make Zhu Yaoguang make a special trip to Yundong City?

"I just want to know where the gap between him and me lies," Zhu Yaoguang said calmly.

She still didn't understand how the other party had managed to surpass her.

Even if he was a Jobless Freelancer who had benefited from low-level advantages, how could he have surpassed her without solid strength?

"Yaoguang, there's really no need to understand this person. Once a Jobless Freelancer reaches a Level 20 secret realm, they become completely powerless."

Qin Kan, who had been silent until now, also said gently, "He probably just wanted to use the convenience of being a Jobless Freelancer to pass the college entrance exam."

The others nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Yaoguang. People like that can only be called opportunists."

"Although the college entrance exam secret realm is an A-grade difficulty, primary class skills are still effective inside."

"He's just a small-time character playing to the gallery. I don't think any key combat academies will be willing to recruit this top scorer!"

"That makes sense. If I were the admissions office, I wouldn't accept a Provincial Trial Ranking leader who exploits such loopholes."

There was some logic to what these people were saying.

A Jobless Freelancer becoming the leader of the Provincial Trial Ranking was indeed the first instance in history.

It could be called unprecedented.

But the admissions offices of key combat academies kept their eyes on the long term.

Very few key academies were willing to recruit a Jobless Freelancer, even if that Jobless Freelancer was the leader of the Provincial Trial Ranking.

They would force Ling Zhan to change his class.

Because in their eyes, a Jobless Freelancer was an unpresentable existence; in future high-level secret realms, a Jobless Freelancer would be a burden.

"What you say makes sense," Zhu Yaoguang nodded.

The group smiled.

However, the next moment, her tone shifted. "But I want to ask one thing: if you were to participate in the college entrance exam as a Jobless Freelancer, could you guarantee that you would surpass me?"

The crowd: "..."

Everyone went quiet.

If they were forced to participate in the college entrance exam as a Jobless Freelancer—and solo the dungeon at that—they would be lucky to even get a passing grade!

And they wanted to surpass Zhu Yaoguang? Don't make them laugh!

Even heaven-favored children like Huang Bo and Qin Kan would probably struggle to even make the provincial top 100 if they fought as Jobless Freelancers.

"Why aren't you talking?" Zhu Yaoguang asked.

Stab.

Heart-wrenching.

Truly heart-wrenching.

"That is why I want to understand where the gap between him and me lies," Zhu Yaoguang said earnestly.

Those beautiful red pupils shimmered with a bright light.

This was the emotional fluctuation she only displayed when she encountered interesting people or things.

"Then I'm going too," Huang Bo said.

"I'm quite bored anyway, so I'll tag along," Qin Kan smiled.

Zhu Yaoguang said softly, "If you want to go, find your own connections. I'm going with my uncle."

Huang Bo: "..."

Qin Kan: "..."

On the other side.

Ling Zhan had no interest in the outside world.

Because he was now only interested in the system's rewards!

Ling Zhan, who had stayed at home with his ears closed to the world outside, finally waited for the system to distribute the rewards.

Ding!

[Starting to distribute achievement task rewards...]

[Congratulations on obtaining Rare Treasure Chest *3, Legendary Treasure Chest *1.]

[Congratulations on obtaining 30 four-dimensional attribute points!]

[Congratulations on obtaining 182 skill points!]

[All rewards have been distributed, please check them, Host.]

Listening to the system's notification sounds and seeing the items appearing in his system space, Ling Zhan felt pleasantly surprised.

The system had finally delivered this wave of rewards.

Although Ling Zhan had prepared himself mentally, his heart still pounded with excitement when he saw the rewards.

A wildly excited smile curled the corners of his mouth.

He wanted to see what he could get from the Rare and Legendary treasure chests.

The challenge tasks and daily challenge tasks he had completed previously had never included these so-called treasure chests.

"No more stalling, time to open the chests!"

Ling Zhan's eyes burned with intensity.

He had never opened these kinds of chests before.

The terms "Rare" and "Legendary" told Ling Zhan that these chests were definitely not ordinary.

Even the extra rewards were so generous.

Then the items opened from the chests must surely be excellent!

That was beyond doubt.

Thinking this, Ling Zhan opened his system space.

There, the four treasure chests lay quietly, yet they radiated a dazzling brilliance.

"System, open three Rare Treasure Chests at once!"

Ling Zhan didn't hesitate.

He opened the three Rare Treasure Chests directly.

Ding!

[Three Rare Treasure Chests have been opened!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Endless Life Set!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Red-grade item "Substitute Scarecrow"!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the S-grade trial talent "Undying Body"!]

Seeing the rewards, Ling Zhan was even more satisfied.

"I didn't expect a Rare Treasure Chest to be able to yield an S-grade trial talent!"

Ling Zhan clicked on his backpack and information panel to check the rewards.

The [Endless Life Set (Purple-grade)] was divided into three pieces of armor.

They were the [Ghost Wild Jacket], [Aqua Blue Belt], and [Swift Wind Leggings].
