Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Perfect Clear, the Secret Realm Lord’s Special Reward
"Are you serious? This isn’t a place for jokes." The fat man looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a disgruntled tone.
If he was here to mess around with him, then the Unicorn Bull Guild behind him was no trifling matter.
Liang Houyun sneered disdainfully and threw a badge on the table.
Everyone looked over and couldn’t help but widen their eyes...
"It’s an Alliance-certified Level 80 Professional. Damn, a big shot..."
"Level 80! How did he end up in Shan City..."
"Oh my, big shot, can’t afford to provoke."
The surrounding spectators were instantly intimidated and quickly backed away, leaving a circle of space around Liang Houyun.
Liang Houyun lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, exhaled, and then asked, "Ten million, will you accept?"
Sweat was already trickling down the fat guy’s forehead as he nodded quickly, "I can accept... but won’t you consider buying something else? I’m afraid..."
What’s wrong with accepting it? The odds of everyone surviving are so high because it looks like there’s no chance, isn’t it?
He’s afraid that the big shot would come looking for trouble with their guild if he lost ten million!
The fat guy was almost scared to pee his pants.
Mind you, their guild leader is only about Level 50, how could they provoke a Level 80 big shot?
"As long as you can accept it. Here’s ten million, check it." Liang Houyun tossed out a Spatial Bag.
The fat guy couldn’t help but cry and laugh, and tremblingly picked up the bag.
...
Holding the wager given by the fat man, Liang Houyun whistled as he left the stall.
"Really lacking in taste, isn’t this bullying a small guild?" A shapely woman couldn’t help but give Liang Houyun a sidelong glance.
Liang Houyun chuckled and said, "Do you think their accountants won’t calculate? I only took their profit away, nothing more. If those old guys in the school’s top management weren’t so stingy, giving only ten million in scholarship, I wouldn’t be doing this."
"Haha, a hundred million in scholarship, I don’t believe Lin Ye can resist!" Liang Houyun flicked the wager in his hand.
The woman’s mouth twitched; it turns out he was gambling with the school’s budget?
Moreover, at odds of 13.5, one million would become thirteen and a half million, even if he gave Lin Ye ten million, Liang Houyun himself could still pocket three and a half million...
Such good calculation!
"As expected from you, you actually managed to pull off something like this." The woman couldn’t help but sneer.
"I’m no better, didn’t you use a roundabout strategy and recruit Li Fei first?" Liang Houyun snorted.
Why hadn’t he thought of that move?
The woman rolled her eyes, no longer bothered to look at Liang Houyun.
This time, many university recruitment officers came to Shan City hoping they could recruit Lin Ye.
Even the scholarship amounts offered have reached jaw-dropping numbers.
Mind you, a top-ranking Main Combat Profession from a frontline settlement usually only receives a scholarship of about one million.
Yet for Lin Ye, the scholarships offered by many schools have exceeded this amount. They hesitate to quote anything less than two to three million.
Even the top three globally ranked Professional Academy, Alliance Military Academy, offered an exorbitant ten million in scholarship!
This level of treatment could satisfy ten Main Combat Profession scholarships in past years!
The huge difference is mainly because Lin Ye is a once-in-a-millennium, exceptionally powerful Support Profession!
Many top-ranking genius Main Combat Professionals from frontline settlements have directly stated they’d go to the university where Lin Ye is, even if it means not receiving a scholarship!
There are Healers on every street, but finding a powerful Healer like Lin Ye is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Those proud top-ranking geniuses from various settlements have already regarded Lin Ye as their exclusive Healer.
So this year, a rather peculiar situation arose: recruiting just Lin Ye means essentially packing up all the geniuses of the year...
Faced with such circumstances, how could universities not go crazy?
"It’s almost time." Liang Houyun checked the time.
Three days ago, Lin Ye led ninety-nine Professionals into the ’Purification of Stratholme’ Secret Realm, so it should be time for the BOSS to appear now.
And at this moment, the betting markets have closed.
Everyone was waiting, just to see when Lin Ye would come out, and how many of the people who went in with him would be left.
Actually, from the odds, they pretty much reflect the thoughts of most people...
That is, almost every Professional would have to sacrifice part of themselves inside.
After all, how could Lin Ye, a Healer, enable ninety-nine Professionals to all leave Stratholme safely? Such things aren’t impossible but at least sound somewhat fantastical.
Otherwise, the odds of everyone surviving wouldn’t be this high.
At this time, the entire Professional Plaza fell silent...
Almost everyone stopped what they were doing, focusing on this event.
But the next moment, an announcement appeared, taking everyone by complete surprise.
["Large Secret Realm ’Purification of Stratholme’ initiated by ’Lin Ye’ has ended. Task Completion Level: Perfect!"]
["All participating members awarded the title ’Holy Light Knight’!"]
["’Lin Ye’ awarded the title ’Disaster Terminator’!"]
Complete silence enveloped the plaza.
After a few seconds, the entire Professional Plaza erupted.
"Damn, that fast? Did they instantly kill the BOSS?"
"That’s not the point. The point is the task completion level is perfect? It seems the highest record before was just excellent..."
"Damn, everyone got a title reward?"
"Why did I hesitate at that moment, otherwise I would’ve had my share too."
"I don’t care about anything else... I just want to know, does this perfect completion level mean everyone survived?"
"My savings... Why did I bet on 50% survival..."
"I lost my parents’ house..."
"Is he even human? Single-handedly revived ninety-nine people and passed perfectly!"
Instantly, the plaza filled with cries and curses.
Many had placed bets, and the vast majority wagered that not everyone would leave the Secret Realm.
But now, with the announcement, everyone was utterly shocked and devastated.
Who could have imagined Lin Ye actually brought those ninety-nine Professionals back safely!
This level almost rivals miracles!
...
Inside Stratholme, the fierce cheers had already transformed into hysterical shouts...
In this space, all sounds at that moment converged into one name — Lin Ye!
A tidal wave of jubilation!
Lin Ye turned to look toward the direction of the town, feeling a mix of emotions.
Everyone survived!
Not just the townsfolk, but also the Professionals who followed him inside, all survived!
["Residents of Stratholme wish to follow you, do you accept? (Triggered by ’Lord of the Secret Realm’ title)"]
At this moment, Lin Ye saw such a prompt appear before him.
It made him pause slightly...
The biggest role of titles is sometimes to offer extra rewards upon completing a Secret Realm.
And this time, Lin Ye evidently triggered an extra reward from the ’Lord of the Secret Realm’ title.
