Chapter 244: Are These Two Skill Books Enough?
Of course...
If you want to stay in the Holy Light Empire and take tasks from the Holy Light Guild, you must go through official application approval from the Holy Light Empire.
Not only do you need a residence permit, but also approval from the Holy Light Guild.
Only then can you reside in the Holy Light Empire for an extended period and have the right to enter the Dungeon Secret Realm to kill monsters.
When submitting the application.
The Holy Light Empire will strictly investigate your personal history and share data with your homeland.
Murderers, arsonists, criminals, and those with heinous deeds.
All are impossible to receive residency approval from the Holy Light Empire.
“Everyone, ahead is where you will be staying for the tournament. I hope you will be satisfied.”
“If you find the living conditions unsatisfactory, feel free to let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate you.”
As the receptionist spoke.
Everyone finally snapped out of their mesmerized state.
This City of Light indeed left a profound impression on them.
It felt like a fantastical city from a game or movie.
The arranged residence before them was a luxurious magical manor.
“This place isn’t bad. It’s the best place I’ve stayed at, aside from the Taoyuan Secret Realm.”
Even Yun Man, who has extremely high standards for living conditions, was very satisfied with this magical manor.
Nestled by the mountains and water, it was serene and elegant.
The air was sweet, filled with the scent of flowers and the sound of birds.
Not only could the climate be freely adjusted according to the seasons, but the elements in the air could also be modified based on personal preference.
For instance, if you were a mage skilled in fire element spells, you could adjust the fire element content in your living area, making yourself comfortable while subtly increasing your affinity for the fire element.
Most importantly, each person’s residence was separate.
Each country’s team had its own area.
There was no worry about a shortage of rooms.
Not only did it provide excellent privacy, but it also prevented conflicts between teams from different countries before the competition even began.
Truly worthy of being the most prosperous Holy Light Empire!
……
As time passed.
The sun hanging in the sky began to tire.
The sky was adorned with light pink evening clouds.
This signaled that the grand banquet, gathering top young talents from various countries, was about to begin.
The strong teams from various countries had settled into the magical manor.
The three divine beast girls opened their storage rings and took out dozens of elegant dresses, asking Ling Zhan to choose a suitable one for them.
“Any of them look good.”
Ling Zhan simply replied.
It wasn’t flattery; it was the truth...
Each of the three divine beast girls had their own charm—cute and lively, heroic and spirited, mature and elegant—and their looks and figures were exceptional.
They would look great in any dress.
The three divine beast girls pouted at Ling Zhan’s perfunctory answer and went to their rooms to change.
At that moment...
Ding dong!
Someone rang the doorbell outside.
The AI butler floating beside Ling Zhan immediately projected a virtual image.
The visitor in the image was...
Li Chaoge.
She wore a tight-fitting crystal princess dress, her ponytail untied and styled in loose waves cascading down her back.
A glance revealed a rare pendant on her swan-like neck, making her fair skin appear even more delicate.
This outfit made her look less cold than usual.
And added a touch of elegance.
And a unique feminine charm...
Why is she here?
Ling Zhan instinctively frowned.
After thinking for four or five seconds.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang again.
Looking at the projection, Li Chaoge’s stunning face showed no expression.
But it was clear that if Ling Zhan didn’t open the door, she would ring the bell again.
“Open the door.”
Helplessly, Ling Zhan ordered the AI butler.
After a while.
Click clack, click clack.
The sound of high heels echoed.
Before seeing her.
Ling Zhan caught a pleasant plum blossom scent.
Proud and solitary like a plum blossom in the snow.
That’s probably her personality.
But this woman’s domineering nature made her hard to like.
When Li Chaoge entered the living room, Ling Zhan stood up.
She was very tall, and with the crystal high heels, she was only half a head shorter than the 1.9-meter-tall Ling Zhan.
The crystal princess dress had a train over a meter long, but she didn’t mind if it got dirty. She didn’t care if Ling Zhan agreed and sat down directly.
“You…”
Li Chaoge’s red lips opened, just saying one word.
She saw Ling Zhan’s extremely indifferent gaze.
Originally, she wanted to say, “Be my dance partner tonight.”
But she forced herself to change it to, “Do you have a dance partner for tonight’s ball?”
This more polite question.
After she asked, Li Chaoge’s brows furrowed.
This…
She had actually yielded to this boy!?
Even though she knew this cold boy wouldn’t care about her change of tone.
This self-submissive thought made her dislike herself.
“No.”
Ling Zhan shook his head.
“Then be my dance partner tonight.”
Li Chaoge tried to sound firm again.
“I’m curious…”
However.
Ling Zhan didn’t answer her directly, instead saying calmly, “We just had a conflict this morning, and now you’re inviting me to be your dance partner…”
“Tell me, what are you plotting?”
Li Chaoge stared at Ling Zhan with her bright eyes: “What, afraid to be my dance partner? I just think that among so many people, only you are qualified to be my partner.”
Ling Zhan still shook his head: “I refuse.”
He really disliked this domineering woman.
Not to mention dancing.
He had never thought of dancing.
Besides, unless provoked, he preferred to stay low-key and entertain himself in a corner.
However...
Slap!!
Suddenly.
Li Chaoge took out a book from her storage space and threw it on the table.
When Ling Zhan saw the book glowing faintly with gold, his eyebrows raised slightly.
It was an A+ grade general skill book!
“What do you mean by this?” Ling Zhan frowned.
Slap!!
Another A-grade general skill book was slammed down!
Li Chaoge’s gem-like eyes stared straight at Ling Zhan.
Her tone was like a domineering female CEO offering to support a pretty boy.
“Are these two skill books enough?”
