14: What a waste of this face!

In Dongling City, Situ Yu was truly a Genius!

With a prominent family background and exquisite beauty, she successfully specialized in the unique profession of Gale Archer during her specialization ceremony, making her future prospects limitless.

All the scions of wealthy families in Dongling City regarded Situ Yu as their goddess, pursuing her with fervent zeal.

The slick-haired, effeminate young man was Chen Hao, the sole heir of the wealthy Chen family in this generation. Although he seemed a bit flashy, his talent was quite good.

At the specialization ceremony three days prior, he successfully completed his first specialization as an Ice Mage, which was considered outstanding among all students who specialized this year.

Moreover, in the past at Dongling No. 1 High School, he was already a fervent admirer of Situ Yu.

"Student Situ Yu, are you planning to accept a quest and head to the wilderness map?"

"It seems you don't have companions yet; why not come with me?"

Looking at Situ Yu with fervent eyes, Chen Hao approached her, a smile he considered gentlemanly appearing on his Face.

However...

Upon hearing the voice and turning around, Situ Yu's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of disgust when she saw him.

"Scram!"

With a cold snort, Situ Yu had no intention of bothering with this annoying fellow.

Given her status and talent, she didn't need to pay attention to her peers in Dongling City, except for...

That one guy who made her gnash her teeth in anger.

Hearing Situ Yu's single word, Chen Hao's expression stiffened, but he wasn't angered.

Situ Yu was known as the 'Iceberg Goddess' at Dongling No. 1 High School, showing no warmth to anyone. For her to speak even one word to him today was already unprecedented.

"Student Situ Yu, I'm sure you're aware of the dangers of going to the wilderness map alone. There's really no need to keep everyone at arm's length."

With a fawning smile, Chen Hao continued to press on:

"I'm a first-specialization Ice Mage. Before coming, I already formed a team with a few classmates. Our team composition is very complete. If you join us, you'll definitely be very safe, and your leveling speed will surely be fast."

As he spoke, seemingly to enhance his persuasiveness, Chen Hao waved his hand, and three more arrogant-looking youths emerged from the crowd.

Indeed, as Chen Hao said, the professional synergy of these individuals was very reasonable: Warrior, Assassin, Priest, plus his Mage, forming a common four-person Adventurer's Guild team.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the equipment on these three was quite good, subtly emitting a faint green glow, indicating they were well-matched Bronze-tier equipment.

Such a team, among novices, could almost be considered top-tier.

After his words fell, Chen Hao looked at Situ Yu with anticipation.

He felt that she would likely agree to his suggestion.

However...

Situ Yu merely glanced at him indifferently, her icy Face devoid of any expression.

"Not interested!"

With that, she turned her head to look at the surrounding crowd.

Having consistently ranked at the top of Dongling No. 1 High School for years, Situ Yu naturally possessed her own pride.

Third-rate individuals like Chen Hao, who relied on luck to specialize in a good profession, were simply not worth her attention.

She had her own matters to attend to at the Adventurer's Guild today. How could she let such an eyesore of a person delay her important business?

However...

Looking at the surging crowd around her, Situ Yu's gaze grew increasingly displeased.

"That scoundrel Wang Chen, he wouldn't dare stand me up today, would he?"

Thinking angrily to herself, Situ Yu stamped her foot.

To the side.

Seeing this, even if Chen Hao was any dumber, he would have realized his goddess was waiting for someone.

For a moment, he felt annoyed, yet also somewhat unwilling.

After successfully specializing as an Ice Mage, he could be considered a first-rate Genius at Dongling No. 1 High School.

Who else would be more qualified to team up with Situ Yu than him? And who would dare make the goddess wait here?

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Chen Hao took a few more steps forward.

"Student Situ Yu, it seems you already have someone in mind for a team. May I ask which Genius from our Dongling City it is?"

Asking with a smile, Chen Hao sneered inwardly. He wanted to see who dared compete with him.

Upon hearing this, Situ Yu completely ignored him. At this moment, she suddenly sensed something and looked towards the entrance of the Guild Hall, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

A handsome young man was walking in from outside. Although dressed ordinarily, he possessed an indescribable ethereal aura.

The moment he appeared, he attracted the attention of many Adventurers.

The young man was Wang Chen.

Seeing Wang Chen appear, Situ Yu moved her feet, preparing to greet him, but then she remembered that this scoundrel actually dared to be late...

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Situ Yu straightened her Face.

This Young Miss also needs Face!

...

...

Walking into the Dawn Guild Hall.

Wang Chen's first glance landed on the exquisitely beautiful girl amidst the crowd.

Although there were many Adventurers coming and going in the Guild Hall, Situ Yu's unique aura directly overshadowed everyone else.

"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way!"

Walking straight towards Situ Yu, Wang Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Situ Yu snorted coldly, a hint of secret delight flashing across her feigned cold Face.

This scoundrel actually knew to give this Young Miss an explanation?

Thinking about how Wang Chen used to always be aloof and uninterested, Situ Yu's little bit of displeasure vanished into thin air.

"Seeing as you're so sensible, this Young Miss will forgive you today."

Her snow-white chin slightly raised, a smile appeared on Situ Yu's Face.

"Alright, let's quickly go to the front desk to accept a quest. The outer area of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range has been overcrowded recently. If we go late, we won't get a good spot."

Situ Yu said with a smile, then turned and skipped towards the Guild front desk.

Seeing this, Wang Chen rolled his eyes.

Good heavens!

I was only one minute late, how did it sound like a crime coming from your mouth?

Shaking his head helplessly, he then stepped forward to follow.

However, Wang Chen had only taken two steps when someone suddenly strode over and blocked his path.

"Wang Chen?"

"It really is you? You, a Giant-Beast Master, don't even have a Beast Pet, and you dare to come to the Adventurer's Guild Hall to accept quests?"

"Do you not know how to spell 'death'?"

Chen Hao looked at Wang Chen with an exaggerated expression, speaking the words "Giant-Beast Master" particularly loudly.

As his words fell.

The Adventurers in the hall who were admiring the handsome man and beautiful woman instantly erupted in an uproar.

"Giant-Beast Master?"

"No way! Is there really someone unlucky enough to specialize in that profession?"

"I heard that it's known as the most money-consuming profession in history. Not to mention wealthy families, even an entire country with all its resources couldn't support it!"

For a moment, many Adventurers looked at Wang Chen with a hint of pity.

So handsome, yet specialized in the trash profession of Giant-Beast Master, what a pity!!
