4: Chapter 4 Trying to Disrupt My Dao Heart?

Bidding farewell to his classmates and walking out of the school gates, Lu Yang got into a driverless flying car parked in the campus-exclusive zone.

The car doors closed silently.

The flying car lifted lightly off the ground, silently rising into mid-air, tracing a smooth arc across the sky before merging into the endless stream of traffic above the city.

Lu Yang leaned back against the seat, the soft Materials wrapping around him with just the right sensation of embrace, steadily supporting his entire body.

He turned his head slightly and looked out the window.

The technology of this era had long far surpassed the Blue Star of his past life.

As far as the eye could see, there were towering metal buildings everywhere.

The surfaces of the buildings were hung with dazzling neon lights, and various holographic projection advertisements lit up in turns among the structures. In some areas, stunning female celebrities could be seen singing and dancing in the mid-air in the form of virtual projections. Amidst the shifting light and shadow, the entire city resembled a never-ending stage.

In the airspace between the tall buildings, countless flying cars shuttled quietly along their respective flight paths, fast and orderly.

The roads below no longer allowed vehicles to drive on them, leaving only pedestrians strolling leisurely to and fro.

Shops lined both sides of the street. Exquisitely decorated clothing store windows displayed the latest seasonal styles, wisps of enticing aromas occasionally drifted through the cracks of restaurant doors, and pet shops raised cats, dogs, and even cute alien creatures, with a few fluffy little fellows dozing behind the transparent glass.

Et cetera, et cetera...

To be honest, if the entire Universe weren't essentially a huge battlefield, living in such an environment would truly be very blissful.

Everyone performed their respective duties, didn't have to worry about supplies, didn't have to work 996, and the social security system covered everything seamlessly.

Unfortunately, racial wars could submerge any planet at any time.

Even the digitized starry sky behemoths swimming through the vacuum possessed the power to easily tear planets apart.

Without power, one ultimately lacked a sense of security in this era.

Lu Yang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, closed his eyes, and leaned back against the seat to catnap.

Twenty minutes later, the flying car stopped steadily at a parking space on the thirtieth floor of a residential building.

The car doors slid open silently, and the in-car smart butler used a gentle electronic voice to remind him that he had arrived home.

Lu Yang stepped out of the car, walked along the corridor next to the parking space into the residential building, and arrived at the door of Room 3003.

This was his home in this world.

His parents were both ordinary life professionals.

His father, Lu Xi, was a programming engineer, and his mother, Zheng Ying, was a human resources consultant.

In this era, the vast majority of daily work was completed by artificial intelligence. Life professionals played more of a role in project leading, commanding, and providing occupational skill bonuses, so the concept of overtime did not exist.

Pushing open the door, Lu Yang saw his father, Lu Xi, standing leisurely in front of the living room fish tank feeding the fish, while his mother, Zheng Ying, was commanding a smart robot to cook while catching up on a TV show using personal terminal projection.

The colored lights in the fish tank emitted a soft glow, making the scales of several tropical fish in the water shimmer brightly.

A faint fragrance of rice and the sizzling sound of frying things in hot oil drifted from the kitchen.

Seeing Lu Yang return, the two of them raised their heads simultaneously.

Lu Xi took the lead to ask with a smile, "Yangyang, you're back? How was it, what profession did you awaken?"

Zheng Ying lightly tapped her finger, pausing the projection playback, and also looked over eagerly.

The corners of Lu Yang's lips curved up, revealing a smile: "Awakened a combat profession, a warrior."

As his voice fell, both of their eyes lit up, and excitement instantly bloomed into smiles on their faces.

"Really or fake? A combat profession? You aren't joking with us, are you?"

Zheng Ying still found it a bit hard to believe.

After all, both she and Lu Xi had ordinary life professions, and the probability of their child Awakening a combat profession was not high.

Lu Yang laughed, "No joke, it's real."

Lu Xi immediately put his hands on his hips, his face full of smugness: "Awesome! As expected of my seed! I'm so damn awesome!"

A few black lines involuntarily appeared on Lu Yang's forehead.

He had thought his old man was praising him, but after all that fuss, he was praising himself.

However, he was long used to his old man's personality.

Perhaps because there was no life pressure, Lu Xi had always been extremely optimistic. To exaggerate, he was a proper funny guy.

Zheng Ying, on the other hand, was not a funny woman.

Her face was initially covered in smiles, but as she laughed, a trace of worry surfaced between her brows: "Awakening a combat profession is a good thing, but Yangyang, you must pay attention to safety."

Although life professions did not have a high social status, they rarely ran into any danger.

Combat professions needed to fight monsters to level up, and their safety was far inferior to that of life professions.

As a mother, Zheng Ying's mood at this moment was somewhat complicated.

She was both proud that her son had awakened a combat profession and felt her heart hanging heavy because he was about to step onto that path of slaughter and combat.

Hearing this, Lu Yang revealed a somewhat mysterious smile: "Don't worry, I am immortal."

Zheng Ying was so amused by his words that she couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Immortal? If you're immortal, wouldn't that make you a monster?"

Naturally, she thought Lu Yang was joking.

However, after being teased like this by her son, the worry in her heart faded by a few points.

Lu Yang smiled helplessly.

What he said was the truth.

It was a pity that only he could see his profession panel, and others couldn't view it.

He estimated that even if he patted his chest and told the truth, few people would believe him.

Lu Xi, on the other hand, was carefree. He directly dumped all the remaining fish food in his hand into the fish tank, clapped his hands, and waved his hand grandly: "Today is a good day, our family will go out to eat and celebrate! Xiao Qi, stop cooking, clean up the place instead."

The smart robot Xiao Qi, who was busy in the kitchen, paused for a beat before a response came out: "Okay, Master."

...

Early the next morning.

Two suns leaped successively over the horizon, and the blazing sunlight once again flooded every street in Linglan City.

The first thing Lu Yang did when he opened his eyes was to summon the panel, his gaze landing straight on the Soul Talent column.

When he saw the Immortal Talent quietly resting there, he let out a long sigh of relief, and a big smile bloomed on his face.

Actually, he had also checked it once before going to bed last night.

Mainly because this Soul Talent felt so unreal that he even suspected whether he was having a sweet dream.

Now it seemed that everything was real, and everything was unimaginably wonderful.

He got up and stretched a big lazy stretch, his bones emitting a series of slight cracking sounds.

After washing up in the personal bathroom, he walked out of the room.

In the living room, Xiao Qi had already placed breakfast on the table.

Lu Xi and Zheng Ying were intently dealing with the fried eggs on their respective plates.

Sunlight outside the window filtered through the blinds, casting slender paths of light and shadow on the dining table.

Lu Yang said good morning to his parents, sat down, and started eating.

He personally liked drinking porridge, paired with a little pickled radish and salted vegetables, tasting delightfully delicious.

Xiao Qi remembered his tastes and would confirm the next day's breakfast content every day before going to bed, providing impeccable service.

Lu Xi and Zheng Ying finished eating successively and leisurely went out to work.

Because Lu Yang didn't need to go to class, he ate extra slowly.

While scooping porridge, he used his personal terminal to project the class group chat.

The messages in the group had long since reached 99+.

Lu Yang glanced through the chat history. Because everyone wouldn't gather together for classes anymore after the Awakening yesterday, many people ran off to get together for meals, and various singing and drinking videos were flooding the group endlessly.

Some people even took advantage of their alcohol buzz to confess in the group. He casually clicked on a few voice messages to listen, and found that the person who received the most confessions was Wu You.

She truly was the class beauty...

Closing the group chat, Lu Yang glanced at his private messages again.

Because he had awakened a combat profession, the number of classmates sending private messages was not small. There were several friends he usually hung out with, as well as girls like Wu You.

He clicked open Wu You's private message.

[Wu You: "Lu Yang, tomorrow you're going to the dungeon, you're already asleep by now, right? Come on ~~ Wishing you a successful clear!"]

[Wu You: "My newly bought pajamas, do they look good? (Photo.jpg)"]

The photo was taken by Wu You right before going to bed last night, wearing a flowy pair of pajamas, with a hint of subtle scheming hidden in the frame.

The corners of Lu Yang's mouth couldn't help twitching.

If those buddies in the group who confessed under the influence of alcohol were to see this chat record, who knew what their thoughts would be?

He opened other people's private chats again and found that girls accounted for the majority, and most of the message contents carried ambiguity, with some even sending revealing photos.

Regarding this, Lu Yang actually had a clear idea in his heart.

He was now a combat profession, his social status was not low, and the resources he could enjoy were far incomparable to those of life professions.

Following him, even without going out to work, one could live very well.

Lu Yang's current situation was roughly equivalent to someone in his past life steadily earning a million a year right after graduation.

Moreover, as his Rank increased, the social resources he enjoyed would become more and more numerous.

Coupled with the fact that his foundation wasn't bad and he looked handsome, it wasn't strange for such a situation to occur.

He shook his head and did not reply to a single one.

These vixens, wanting to disrupt my Dao Heart?!

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Cough... Just kidding.

Men, after all... who isn't a pervert at heart?

Mainly because, with the current formidable degree of his Soul Talent, becoming a top powerhouse in the future was practically a nailed-down certainty.

Even dominating the Universe might not be a delusional thought.

Even if he really wanted to find someone, he had to find an even more outstanding female.

Furthermore, what was most urgent right now was that free welfare dungeon.

Lu Yang turned off the projection, greeted Xiao Qi, stood up, and pushed the door open to step out.

Target, the Professionals Association building!
