2: We are not from the same world

Chapter 2: We Are Not From The Same World

Outside the training ground.

Lu Ran wandered around for a bit and finally found Wang Yujiao.

"Jiaojiao, over here, over here!" Lu Ran immediately waved and shouted when he saw Wang Yujiao standing gracefully under a tree not far away.

Wang Yujiao turned her head and saw Lu Ran, momentarily stunned.

But Wang Yujiao, who usually ran over like a docile bird, remained rooted to the spot today.

Lu Ran didn't think much of it and ran over to her.

The excitement in his heart was still there, and he couldn't help but say, "Let's go, let's level up. Didn't I just see you awaken the rare profession, Magic Archer? If we two cooperate, we'll definitely..."

"Lu Ran, I was just looking for you too. I have something to tell you," Wang Yujiao interrupted Lu Ran's enthusiasm.

"Huh?" Lu Ran was stunned.

But Wang Yujiao stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

Just as Lu Ran was feeling puzzled,

Several people walked over from the side.

The leading young man glanced at Lu Ran and casually said, "What's there to waste words on him for? Let's go, let's go level up."

The newcomer was Liang Shaoyu.

During their academy days, he had often pestered Wang Yujiao.

But today, not only did Wang Yujiao not resist, but her body, which hadn't moved for a long time, leaned towards Liang Shaoyu.

Only then did she say to Lu Ran, "I was just about to tell you, Liang Shaoyu asked me to team up, so I won't be with you."

Lu Ran stood dumbfounded, looking at Liang Shaoyu and the slightly older young men beside him.

Their eyes met, and Liang Shaoyu's lips curved slightly upward, saying, "My dad has arranged for people to take me and Jiaojiao to level up. Lu Ran, you can go stay wherever it's cool. Anyway, you have skeletons to play with, so you won't be lonely, haha..."

Liang Shaoyu's teasing words made the young men around him burst into laughter as well.

Lu Ran ignored Liang Shaoyu, instead looking at Wang Yujiao, his expression gradually turning cold.

He asked, "So, what are we now? Broken up?"

After graduation, countless couples broke up due to professional gaps, but Lu Ran had never imagined such a thing would happen to him!

Wang Yujiao took a deep breath.

Her eyes revealed a hint of determination.

She nodded and said, "I'm a rare profession, and you're a regular profession. The gap between us will only grow wider and wider, don't you understand? We are ultimately not from the same world. A month from now, the Tiandao Alliance will recruit people, and there are only three spots. But this time, after graduation and awakening, there are also five rare professions. Qin Wuyao has already taken one spot, leaving five people to compete for the remaining two spots. I... I can't gamble my future on you."

Lu Ran's heart completely turned cold.

After Wang Yujiao finished speaking, she didn't wait for Lu Ran's reaction, reaching out and hooking her arm through Liang Shaoyu's.

She said, "Shaoyu, let's go, let's level up."

Liang Shaoyu's face was full of smugness and superiority, and he naturally wrapped his arm around Wang Yujiao's slender waist, caressing it.

At the same time, he said, "Alright, I'll take you to my family's warehouse first to pick out some good beginner equipment. Actually, you don't even need it, since we have high-level professionals leading us to level up, we don't need to do it ourselves."

After speaking, he walked away triumphantly.

Lu Ran stood dejectedly in place, suddenly feeling a bit ridiculous.

He thought he knew Wang Yujiao well enough, but in the end...

Clap~

Just as he was feeling melancholic, a hand suddenly landed on Lu Ran's shoulder, startling him.

He turned his head to look, only to find that the person was actually Qin Wuyao.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Breaking up right after graduation, that's truly hurtful," Qin Wuyao looked at the retreating figures of Wang Yujiao and the others, saying in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Ran rolled his eyes.

He slapped her hand away and turned to leave.

"Hey, why can't you take a joke? You should be happy that this kind of person left, right? After all, the loss is small," Qin Wuyao caught up with Lu Ran's steps and said.

Normally, Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao had a decent relationship.

After all, they were the only two in the academy with spiritual power exceeding 100.

"Do you have anything else?" Lu Ran wasn't in the mood to get entangled with Qin Wuyao on this topic.

"Let's team up to level up, how about it?" Qin Wuyao chuckled and said.

"Not how about it," Lu Ran directly shook his head. "What's the point of a prestigious hidden profession like you teaming up with a regular profession like me?"

Qin Wuyao didn't mind.

She tilted her head and said, "What's wrong with a regular profession? Your spiritual power is 130, which is rare in the Global. I don't believe you're just a simple Undead Mage."

This statement surprised Lu Ran quite a bit.

For most people, awakening a profession defined their future development.

Few had thoughts like Qin Wuyao's.

But Lu Ran still shook his head and said, "Not interested."

After speaking, he walked away on his own.

He spent three hundred gold coins at an equipment shop on the street to get a set of white-grade equipment. Lu Ran didn't leave Black Fire City, but instead went to Black Fire City's Central Square.

The dungeon hall was located there.

Of course, Lu Ran wasn't going to clear team dungeons; he couldn't even enter dungeons right now because the lowest five-person dungeon was a Level 5 dungeon, and Lu Ran was currently Level 0, so he couldn't enter.

But at the dungeon square, there was a beginner leveling dungeon: the Novice Training Ground.

It had many monsters, and it was a solo dungeon. The difficulty was slightly higher than the wilderness, and the experience gained was also higher than from wilderness monsters.

However, few novices were willing to attempt it.

Because in this Global data-driven world, even though there were various transferred professions, there was no resurrection mechanism.

If you died, you died!

Even healing professions could only try to ensure their teammates' health remained good.

But if they weren't careful and couldn't heal in time, and a teammate's health bar was depleted, then they were truly dead. Even hidden healing professions didn't have resurrection skills!

So, it was understandable that novices who had never fought monsters rarely dared to enter the Novice Training Ground alone to adventure.

After all, each profession only had one initial skill. If they were targeted by several monsters at once in the training ground, they would truly be finished!

But Lu Ran was different; his skills had no cooldown!

Lu Ran had been an orphan since childhood, working part-time to support himself until now, with only over four hundred gold coins in his pocket.

Now, he spent three hundred gold coins on white-grade equipment, leaving him with only enough for food.

But it was worth it!

The attributes added by this set of white-grade equipment were pitiful, but what Lu Ran valued was the mana.

The entire set added 100 points to Lu Ran's maximum mana.

Combined with Lu Ran's original 100 mana, he now had two hundred mana points!

Excluding automatic mana recovery, Lu Ran could cast Summon Undead twenty times in one go, summoning two at a time, so Lu Ran could summon a total of forty!

This was a terrifying number!

Not to mention that Lu Ran's mana could also recover naturally, providing an endless supply!

Forty skeletons charging wildly was much more comfortable than five novices teaming up to compete for monsters in the wilderness!

After making up his mind, Lu Ran arrived at the dungeon hall.

It was crowded with people of various levels and professions coming and going, very lively.

Lu Ran went straight to the northeast corner of the hall, to the entrance of the Novice Training Ground, where there was no one.

Lu Ran decisively stepped forward a few steps, his figure flashing and disappearing into the teleportation portal.

He just didn't notice that in the crowd, a young man in a black tight-fitting suit opened his communicator immediately after seeing Lu Ran's figure disappear.

He sent a message to Qin Wuyao: Miss, Lu Ran has entered the Novice Training Ground.
