"Serving the country?"
Lu Ran originally wanted to sit down and talk, but Qin Wuyao unhesitatingly sat on his hard bed.
The bed was already small, and if Lu Ran sat there too, he’d have to sit close to Qin Wuyao, which was a bit awkward at night.
So he simply leaned against the window.
"Yeah, join the Celestial Path Alliance to serve the country!" Qin Wuyao added.
Lu Ran pouted and said, "Joining the Celestial Path Alliance is the dream of all professionals, right? When the time comes, whether it’s clearing a dungeon or a national battle, it’s all serving the country. Naturally, I’m willing, but currently, I’m just an ordinary profession Undead Mage and not qualified."
Qin Wuyao rolled her eyes at his words.
She said, "If you’re not qualified, then that so-called hidden profession in the Celestial Path Alliance is even less qualified!"
Lu Ran didn’t deny it. Qin Wuyao had witnessed his abilities.
He was just being modest.
After all, Lu Ran isn’t stupid. His skill and trait combination is enough to overwhelm any profession globally!
But he didn’t understand why Qin Wuyao was here.
So he asked, "So, you came to me just to say this? Whether or not I can join isn’t up to you or me to decide, right?"
Qin Wuyao laughed and said, "Come to my house. My father, Qin Lie, is the Grand Steward of a Celestial Path Alliance branch, and Uncle Xu Jie from the central Celestial Path Alliance is also at my house. You just need to show them your abilities, and I believe you’ll get the treatment you deserve, which is much faster than leveling up on your own and also allows you to obtain resources countless people dream of!"
Lu Ran stared at Qin Wuyao for a while.
To be honest, it was very tempting.
Lu Ran once dreamed of joining the Celestial Path Alliance, and now he knows that with his current abilities, joining the Celestial Path Alliance would be a breeze!
But that was on the premise that Lu Ran’s profession was normal, and his abilities were normal.
Now Lu Ran relies entirely on a trait system, and his abilities are too abnormal.
He understands the principle of "a big tree attracts the wind."
Therefore, he was unwilling to recklessly showcase his abilities.
Or rather, before Lu Ran had grown up, he dared not rashly showcase them.
Qin Wuyao seemed to see through Lu Ran’s thoughts.
She said, "First of all, with your ability, the Celestial Path Alliance will definitely rearrange your accommodation, so you won’t have to live here anymore."
Lu Ran frowned.
He said, "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with living here; I grew up here."
Now that Lu Ran has money, of course, he would consider changing, but he wasn’t opposed to living here.
Qin Wuyao quickly waved her hands and said, "That’s not what I mean. The Liang Family wants to kill you. They failed this time, and they know that, so do you think they’ll arrange a second attempt? Your ability... although not afraid, being targeted for assassination is never a good thing."
At this, Lu Ran was momentarily stunned.
Indeed, he hadn’t seriously thought about this issue.
The Liang Family’s reason for wanting him dead was somewhat bizarre, but he basically understood it; he didn’t even own the so-called mysterious equipment!
The Liang Family seemed to believe that Lu Ran’s fast leveling was due to some mysterious levelless equipment, so they wanted to kill him to get it.
Since they failed this time, there might be a next time!
Lu Ran wasn’t truly invincible; when attacked, he needed summoned items to trigger the damage transfer of Transplanting Flowers and Wood.
Without summoned items, any high-level assassin could silently kill him instantly!
Seeing Lu Ran fall silent.
Qin Wuyao seized the moment and said, "Also, speaking on a larger scale, you know the national war is in a month, right?"
Lu Ran nodded.
He was indeed aware of the national war date.
Qin Wuyao immediately said, "Now, in the face of the global situation, Huaxia is in a tough spot. I heard Uncle Xu mention it today."
Afterwards, Lu Ran recounted today’s conversation between Xu Jie and Qin Lie.
After listening, Lu Ran frowned tightly.
Such international situations are beyond the reach of ordinary professionals, aside from large guilds like the Celestial Path Alliance and the Full-time Alliance.
But from the rankings, it’s clear that Huaxia hasn’t been performing well in recent years.
This isn’t just about honor; the national battle rankings relate to the resource rewards given by the data world.
This directly affects national strength!
The higher the ranking, the more resources you get, the stronger the national strength, and the better the performance in the next national war—a virtuous cycle.
But for a superpower like Huaxia, a decline in ranking is a vicious cycle!
"The U.S.A cleared the highest level team dungeon Black Dragon Mountain yesterday."
"Even if it was only on normal difficulty, the Black Dragon Equipment bonus will definitely make the U.S.A stand out in the national battle!"
"In addition, Japan, with its unique profession Yin Yang Master, has very powerful Shikigami control."
"Last year’s national battle, our ranking was already below Japan."
"If the performance is still unsatisfactory this year, Huaxia’s future situation will be even worse."
...
Hearing this, Lu Ran was instantly invigorated!
Other countries don’t matter, but Japan actually stepped on Huaxia’s head. Lu Ran couldn’t hold back.
"So you mean, you want me to participate in this national battle?" Lu Ran asked.
"Exactly! Once you grow, your individual impact on the national battle is absolutely terrifying. Not only that, but you have the ability to lead Celestial Path Alliance members to conquer Black Dragon Mountain and surpass the U.S.A!" Qin Wuyao analyzed.
Unexpectedly, this young girl had a lot on her mind.
She had already tightly linked Lu Ran’s abilities to serving the country.
No wonder she came to find Lu Ran at night.
"Okay, I’ll talk to your father and Uncle Xu. If they are willing to use me, I naturally won’t resist serving the country." Lu Ran pondered and said.
"That’s great! Let’s go, pack up, and head to my place!" Qin Wuyao’s face was flushed with excitement.
This...
Lu Ran was a bit surprised, "Huh? Go now?"
Qin Wuyao naturally responded, "Yeah, it’s still early. You’re not going to sleep, are you? Taking care of yourself so young? Come on, come on, let’s go to my house and have the kitchen make you something delicious!"
Lu Ran couldn’t argue, and since he had nothing to pack in his bare household, he left home with Qin Wuyao.
The Qin Family’s mansion was in a wealthy area, not far from Central Square.
It was very spacious, with seven courtyards and security patrolled by a team of Berserkers!
Qin Wuyao led Lu Ran straight to the main hall living room.
Qin Lie was enjoying wine with Xu Jie, and whenever they talked about recent events, they sighed.
As Celestial Path Alliance members, they were eager to serve the country.
But the impact of individual combat power on international situations was minimal, and solving it wasn’t an overnight task.
The Black Dragon Mountain wasn’t something you could just challenge anytime.
"Damn this headache! Forget it, let’s drink!" Qin Lie grumbled and raised his glass.
But suddenly saw Qin Wuyao and Lu Ran walk in.
"Yaoyao, why haven’t you gone to bed this late? Who is this classmate?" Qin Lie asked curiously.
This was the first time Qin Wuyao brought a classmate home.
And it was a male classmate!
And it was at night!
"Dad, this is Lu Ran," Qin Wuyao introduced casually.
