179: This lady has such a keen eye!

Chapter 179: My Sharp Eyes!

Logically speaking, Cong Yu was quite beautiful, and of the petite and cute type.

Although Lu Ran was not ugly, he was not so handsome as to attract a beauty to approach him immediately.

Just then.

Cong Yu suddenly said slyly, "Hey, I see you have an idea to make money. How about this: I'll take you in and help you register and join Necromancer Alliance Guild. But, in return, you have to help me complete a task later, how about it?"

Alright, that makes sense.

She still needed Lu Ran's help, which was why she approached him.

But this, on the contrary, made Lu Ran feel relieved.

"What task? Is it difficult?" Lu Ran asked casually.

He even had no interest in joining Necromancer Alliance Guild.

"Not difficult, very simple. It just needs a helper. Mercenaries are too expensive… Uh, mercenaries are a bit troublesome, so I'm asking you for help. It's not for free, though. I'll help you register and join The Necromancer Alliance, and when the task is done, I'll even give you gold coins," Cong Yu continued, worried Lu Ran would refuse.

Lu Ran stared at Cong Yu for a moment.

This girl should also be a newcomer who just awakened her profession this year.

Her level shouldn't be very high.

The task difficulty would naturally be low as well.

Besides, for Lu Ran, what kind of task couldn't he complete?

With nothing to do, since there was an opportunity to join The Necromancer Alliance, he might as well join. Although Lu Ran himself had no interest.

But there was no harm in joining anyway.

"Okay, let's go," Lu Ran nodded.

"That's great! Follow me!" Cong Yu chuckled and said.

"Are you a local of the Imperial Capital?" Lu Ran asked.

Because he felt that Cong Yu seemed to know a lot about this place.

"Yes, a local. That's why I'm helping you. You're from out of town after all. Oh, by the way, which main city are you from?" Cong Yu asked casually.

"Black Fire City," Lu Ran said directly.

"Oh," Cong Yu nodded, showing no reaction.

Because she probably didn't even know where Black Fire City was, or perhaps had never even heard of it.

"Probably a third-tier main city? Are you here to accompany your Blackfire City Academy's contestant for the Hundred Cities League?" Cong Yu continued to ask.

"I am the contestant, representing Black Fire City," Lu Ran said truthfully.

But he didn't expect that.

Cong Yu immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Tsk, what's there to be secretive about? If you don't want to say it, you don't have to!"

Huh?

Lu Ran was stunned.

But he immediately reacted, realizing that Cong Yu clearly thought Lu Ran couldn't possibly be qualified to participate in the Hundred Cities League.

"Undead Mages cannot participate in the Hundred Cities League, nor can they obtain qualifications," Cong Yu indeed said.

"Didn't you just say that Undead Mages have a very high status now?" Lu Ran asked.

"High is high, but that's entirely due to the existence of the mysterious necromancer big shot. When it comes to something like the Hundred Cities League, Undead Mages are not qualified. Don't think that just because the mysterious necromancer big shot exists, your status and profession will rise significantly. I'm telling you, it's still very difficult," Cong Yu explained.

Lu Ran hadn't thought that much.

He was that mysterious necromancer big shot, and the status and reputation of the entire Undead Mage profession had indeed risen quite a bit compared to before.

But when it came to the profession itself, its actual status hadn't changed much.

When faced with real events, such as the Hundred Cities League, they couldn't even obtain qualifications!

"My sister is the contestant representing the Imperial Capital Academy in this year's Hundred Cities League, and she can definitely win the championship," Cong Yu said proudly.

"That's not necessarily true," Lu Ran said casually.

Just kidding.

This championship would definitely be Lu Ran's!

No newcomer could gain any advantage over Lu Ran!

Therefore.

With Lu Ran present, Cong Yu's sister also couldn't win the championship!

No matter how strong, she would have to rank behind Lu Ran.

"Tsk, you still don't believe me. My sister's name is Cong Shuang, and she's a member of the Imperial Capital's Tianfu Association, a Level 41 Star Mage!" Cong Yu said excitedly.

When she mentioned her sister Cong Shuang, Cong Yu became completely exhilarated.

And also very proud and boastful.

Unfortunately.

Lu Ran had no idea what the Tianfu Association was, nor what a Star Mage profession was.

But he could be sure it wasn't a regular profession, nor a rare profession. It was probably a hidden profession.

After Cong Yu finished speaking, she carefully stared at Lu Ran's face.

But she didn't see an astonished expression from Lu Ran.

She immediately felt a bit deflated.

She mumbled, "Still a country bumpkin. I'm telling you, the Tianfu Association is an organization affiliated with the Tiandao Alliance. To join the Tianfu Association, one must be a student of the Imperial Capital Academy, and also a hidden profession. At the same time, the Tiandao Alliance will comprehensively consider the strength of their hidden profession. If it's just an ordinary hidden profession, it's not qualified to join the Tianfu Association."

And that wasn't all.

Even if one joined the Tianfu Association as a hidden profession.

It was still full of geniuses!

Although every batch of Tianfu Association members were also newcomers, the difference in professional strength between them was huge.

And Cong Shuang.

Even in such an environment, she could still obtain a spot to participate in the Hundred Cities League!

After Cong Yu's explanation.

Lu Ran finally understood.

He understood clearly that Cong Shuang was a genius among geniuses!

Her level had even climbed to 41, which was absolutely incredibly fast!

No wonder Cong Yu was so proud, so boastful, and so certain that her sister Cong Shuang could win the Hundred Cities League championship.

"What if she doesn't win the championship?" Lu Ran asked.

"Impossible! What kind of profession in other main cities could surpass a Star Mage? My sister can summon the power of the stars to fight, with strong offense, defense, support, and even healing, all-inclusive! In this one-on-one Hundred Cities League, she is unmatched!" Cong Yu immediately shook her head and said.

Still confident!

Lu Ran didn't explain much.

He just nodded and said, "Then I wish her good luck."

Cong Yu saw that Lu Ran didn't dwell on the issue, but his expectation clearly didn't believe her words, so she pouted.

She grumbled, "You won't believe it until you see it! Then you must watch carefully tomorrow. The Hundred Cities League starts tomorrow. You'll know by watching my sister's performance. The final champion will definitely be her!"

After speaking.

As if remembering something, she continued to ask, "Oh, by the way, Lu Ran, you're also an Undead Mage. What level are you?"

Lu Ran casually said, "Forty-seven."

Anyway, they would be in a team soon, so his level couldn't be hidden.

Cong Yu was stunned, somewhat surprised that Lu Ran's level was so high!

But she immediately reacted.

She suddenly realized, "So you're a professional who awakened last year! Then you still dare to brag that you're a contestant representing your Black... Black Fire City in the Hundred Cities League? I'm not that easy to fool."

After speaking, she even pointed to her watery big eyes.

The implication was obvious: No lie can escape my sharp and discerning eyes!

Lu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He was too lazy to explain; anyway, Cong Yu would also see Lu Ran's performance tomorrow.

The two turned a corner, and the hall was ahead. "It's right ahead. I'll take you to register."]}
