Seeing this, Ma Yu fell completely silent.
The room was deathly quiet.
A moment later, Ma Yu's mouth twitched.
First place in the Prodigy God-Sealing Battle? A Peerless Monster rating? The Gu Family?
If he had not just been warned by the Federation's Supreme Artificial Lifeform, Ma Yu would have said this information was absolutely a scam. But now...
Ma Yu took a deep breath. "No, whether it's true or not, I have to meet him as soon as possible."
Primordial City.
Yang Fan looked at his wristwatch and found a Virtual World meeting request.
"Applicant—Ma Yu." Seeing the name, Yang Fan was slightly taken aback and slowly put down the book in his hand.
He quickly recalled the loan contract from back then. He still owed three million Divinity Points.
"I nearly forgot about that." Yang Fan shook his head with a smile, then put on his virtual helmet.
Once the consciousness link was established, Yang Fan entered the Virtual World.
The instant Ma Yu saw Yang Fan, his gaze visibly went unfocused for a moment.
The change was simply too great!
In just one year, the somewhat immature student from before seemed to have become an entirely different person.
His gaze was steady, betraying no emotional fluctuations. Simply standing there, he faintly exuded the oppressive aura of someone in a high position.
Remembering the warning from the Federation's Supreme Artificial Lifeform, Ma Yu became much more cautious even in his speech.
"Young Master Yang." Ma Yu smiled. "There have been quite a few rumors about you in Primordial City lately. You've even connected with a behemoth like the Gu Family."
It was a probe, but also a confirmation.
Ma Yu kept his eyes fixed on Yang Fan's, seemingly searching for an answer.
Yet Yang Fan merely nodded indifferently.
