18: Chapter 18 For the title of top scholar, go for it, slime!

Lu Family Manor.

After returning, the Slime started stuffing itself on the dining table.

Several maids stood respectfully by the dining table, 'serving dishes'.

The Slime waved its hand grandly.

"Do not bring anything below Tier 5 heavenly treasures here."

"Life Crystals, Forest Jade Essence, Ancient Tree Spirit Cores... I want them all."

Lu Yuan patted the little guy's head.

"Eat up, eat plenty."

"After you finish eating, we'll go level up."

Upon hearing this, Li Muyao was not pleased.

"Absolutely not."

"Little Yuan, you are too tired today. Go upstairs and get some sleep; we can talk about leveling up tomorrow."

"There is still a week until the College Entrance Exam. Even if you just close your eyes, you can still reach Level 10. By then, your father and I will pull some strings, and you will definitely get into a top-tier academy."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly becoming resolute.

He clenched his fists, his voice ringing with power.

"Mom, I must go level up."

"I want to get into the best university through my own strength, not through family connections. I have already planned it out; for the next few days, I will be leveling up 24 hours a day."

Li Muyao: ??? City Lord Lu Feng: ??? Bai Zhi: ??? Slime: ???!!!

The living room fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at Lu Yuan, eyes wide, not blinking once.

Was this really the same Lu Yuan who would rather sit than stand, and lie down than sit?

Li Muyao reached out and felt Lu Yuan's forehead. "No fever... Son, you haven't been possessed, have you?"

Lu Yuan pushed away his mother's hand, his expression serious. "Mom, I'm serious."

"I don't just want Level 10." "I want to be stronger. I want to rely on my own strength to achieve a higher ranking in the College Entrance Exam." "I want to show others that City Lord Lu Feng and Li Muyao's son is no coward."

Li Muyao looked at her son in a daze, her eyes gradually turning red. City Lord Lu Feng was also deeply moved. His son had grown up.

"Good son! You truly are my, City Lord Lu Feng's, flesh and blood!" "Your mother and I agree; for the coming time, you can go all out to level up."

Lu Yuan looked at the Slime and revealed a kind smile. Come on, Slime! This is an opportunity for progress that your master worked hard to secure for you.

??? "Me?" The Slime exploded, pointing at itself with its chubby little finger, looking incredulous.

'Master, you've changed.' 'Didn't we agree that once we left the dungeon, I could eat and sleep?' 'What happened to letting me slack off?' 'We just got out of the dungeon!'

"Even a donkey on a farm wouldn't be worked this hard, right?" It looked at Lu Yuan with resentment, feeling that the heavenly treasures in its mouth were no longer delicious.

Lu Yuan patted the Slime's head. "Silly, of course I need to sleep. The matter of leveling up is left to you." "Good luck!"

??? Listen to yourself, is that even human language? Slime: ******

... Just then, City Lord Lu Feng's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, and before he could speak, a furious roar came from the other side.

"City Lord Lu Feng, what kind of father are you?" "My grandson almost died, and I didn't even know?" "If I hadn't called to ask, were you planning to keep it from me forever?!"

The famous Bloodthirsty Berserker, the lord of Magic City. He was being scolded mercilessly but didn't dare to make a sound. "Dad, please listen to my explanation..."

"Explain my foot!" Lu Zhentian's voice shook the communicator. "I'm telling you, if my grandson encounters this kind of danger again, I will fly back immediately and deal with you!"

After scolding City Lord Lu Feng for half a day, the moment Lu Yuan took the call, the voice on the other side immediately became kind and gentle.

"Little Yuan, being able to clear the Demon level shows that your strength is absolutely invincible among your peers. I've secured some special resources for you over the past two days, and they will be delivered to the house soon."

"In the future, Grandfather will give everything to cultivate you." "Thank you, Grandfather." Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

This was the full-scale cultivation from one of the seven strongest people in the world. It wasn't just resources; more importantly, it was various opportunities that ordinary people could never access.

Lu Zhentian smiled kindly. "I've already arranged it. The Paladin Guild will seal off a wild area in Magic City to help you level up." "You just need to lie down and level up."

Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly. Grandfather is the best.

"Oh, right," Lu Zhentian seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious. "Little Yuan, after you killed the Demon BOSS, did you obtain a 'demon heart'?"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then took a fist-sized object out of his storage bracelet. It was a heart. It was pitch black, with dark red patterns flowing across its surface, as if it were still beating slightly.

"Grandfather, are you talking about this?" Lu Zhentian's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's it!"

"The demon heart is a very precious heavenly treasure. It can be used to enchant equipment or strengthen a Magic Pet." "In high-level auctions, it is considered a priceless treasure."

Lu Yuan nodded. He had already read the item description but didn't know how to use it.

Lu Zhentian stroked his beard. "However, this thing's energy is too violent. To use it, you still need to make some preparations." "Give this thing to your father first; before the College Entrance Exam, I will help you refine the energy within it. It will let your Magic Pet take a step further, helping you go on a rampage in the College Entrance Exam battlefield."

"Thank you, Grandfather." Li Muyao shook her head. Grandparent-grandchild affection is too terrifying.

Subsequently, she waved her hand. A mountain of treasure, emitting various lights and piled up with heavenly treasures, appeared in the living room.

"This is what Mom prepared for you. All kinds of heavenly treasures, all for strengthening Magic Pets." "They can increase a Magic Pet's attributes, but remember one thing: a Magic Pet should not absorb too many mixed types of heavenly treasures; it is best to only strengthen one attribute."

"Thanks, Mom, I know." Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. This is just too much! As expected, Mom is the most generous.

With so many resources, a single Magic Pet like the Slime could never finish them all. He needed to hurry up and level up to summon a new Magic Pet. Yes, right now Lu Yuan really needed a new Magic Pet to share some of the heavenly treasures.

... The next day, 5:00 AM. Magic City East District wild area. A group of people gathered at the city gate, looking bewildered.

"What's going on? Why is this wild area sealed off?" "Sealed off? The entire White Plains has been contracted by someone?" "You don't know?"

"The old man from the Lu family booked the place for his grandson to level up." "The Lu family? Which Lu family?" "How many Lu families are there in Magic City? Of course, it's the Lu family of City Lord Lu Feng."

"Oh, oh, that's fine then." "Sigh, comparing people to people is infuriating. Others have people delivering experience to them while they lie down, while we struggle with our lives and can't even level up much in a day." "Don't say anymore, if you keep talking, I'm going to cry."

Lu Yuan stepped out of the car and was slightly stunned by the sight before him. Dozens of professionals clad in heavy Paladin armor, radiating golden light like human suns, lined up neatly and saluted him in unison.

"Greetings, Young Master!" The voice was loud and resonant, causing leaves to rustle and fall. The leader was a middle-aged Paladin with a square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a steady demeanor. His name was Zhou Xiong, a senior deacon of the Paladin Guild and a Level 55 Holy Shield Knight.

"Young Master, please follow me." Lu Yuan followed him inside. After walking for about five minutes, a... villa? suddenly appeared before him. Yes, a villa.

A two-story building had actually appeared in the wilderness. It had a garden, a swimming pool, and two rows of young girls in maid outfits standing at the entrance. Lu Yuan was stunned.

"This is...?" The middle-aged knight smiled slightly. "The old master ordered it, saying the Young Master must not suffer. This villa was built overnight by a Level 55 Earth Mage. Although it is simple, it has everything it needs."

Slime: ??? Simple? A two-story building with a garden and a swimming pool, this is called simple?

As soon as it entered, a fragrant aroma rushed towards them. The Slime's eyes immediately lit up. In the kitchen, several chefs were busy at work. The dining table was already filled with various delicacies. All of them were Life-attribute heavenly treasures. There was also the flesh and blood of various high-level monsters.

The Paladin uncle introduced, "There is a dedicated kitchen here. When the Young Master is tired from leveling up, he can replenish energy at any time." The Slime's eyes went straight.

'Holy crap!!!' 'I love leveling up, I want to level up every day!'

City Lord Lu Feng and Li Muyao looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The old master was really going too far. However, thinking of Lu Yuan's ability, they felt relieved.

Of course, the key was to see what happened after Lu Yuan reached Level 10. Could he choose special abilities for his Magic Pet again? And the new Magic Pet... Thinking of this, both of them were somewhat expectant.

City Lord Lu Feng patted his shoulder. "Level up well, don't get too tired." Lu Yuan nodded. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I will work hard."

Li Muyao's eyes were full of relief. "Old Lu, our son has really changed." "He knows how to work hard now." City Lord Lu Feng nodded, his eyes also slightly moist. "Yeah... our son has grown up."

... Watching their backs disappear. Lu Yuan immediately changed his expression. Lying on the goose-down bed, he waved his hand and called the maids outside over.

"For my College Entrance Exam top scholar title, you have to work hard to grind monsters, classmate Slime!"
