Lan Jue went on. "I've been so busy I haven't had time to think.
Including me, there are only five pilots in the Star Alliance.
We're small in number, but we're all strong.
I believe that we can build a group of god-ranked mecha pilots. If the Clairvoyant's prophecy is true, then we can also play a role in it.
For example, on some difficult missions. "
The Gourmet nodded his head. "That's what you call elite tactics.
I think it's possible.
Under certain circumstances, quality is more important than quantity.
Still, you can continue to grow.
It's to attract more experts. "
Lan Jue nodded. "Once DreamNet's upgrade is complete, there will be a reshuffling of the God-ranked pilots in Dreamburg. Real God-ranked pilots will emerge, and we'll look for them then."
The Gourmet nodded. "The Northern Alliance has sent an invitation. The Major League has asked us to send a representative to the Adept Tournament.
Did you hear about this? "
Lan Jue said. "The Coffee Master told me.
I won't be able to escape this time, will I? "
The Gourmet nodded. "What do you think?
It won't be much of a chore. The Northern Alliance has plenty of good food. I can take you there. "
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. "You're coming?"
The Gourmet nodded. "I'll lead.
Without a Paragon to hold the fort, what if we lose?
As long as I'm here, at least they won't dare to do anything in the open. "
Paragons were strategic existences. They were a powerful deterrent.
Fights between Paragons were rare, because they were too destructive.
If a Paragon went all out, their protogenia could destroy an entire planet!
So.
Only the Gourmet would say so.
Lan Jue chuckled. "I wasn't planning on running away anyway.
Now that you mention it, it's even better.
When are we leaving?
Just let me know. "
"The tournament will be held on Planet Luo," the Gourmet said. "It's a long way. We'll be leaving in about twenty days."
Lan Jue nodded and said, "How many people are going this time?"
The Gourmet nodded. "There's a limit to forty years of age.
We plan to send a team of ten people.
I'll lead the team and select ten young Adepts. For now, there's the Seamstress, the Coffee Master, the Driver, you, the Barber, the Beautician, and the Bartender. The others are still to be considered. "
Lan Jue chuckled. "I'm fine with it.
Obey the organization's arrangements. "
"You and the Pharmacist seemed to be getting along quite well," the Gourmet said. "If you can convince her to come with us.
She's very strong. With her around, our results won't be bad.
Since I'm representing Skyfire Avenue in this competition, I need to do well. "
Lan Jue said, "I'll try.
I just don't know if she is willing to go. "
"Alright," the Gourmet said, "if there's nothing else then you can go.
We have to keep this a secret. We can't let the Wine Master find out before we drink it, otherwise we won't be able to drink.
I can't beat him. "
Lan Jue smiled.
"The Wine Master's got a lot of resentment in him.
We'll have to ask him to come with us.
Otherwise he won't let us off the hook.
By the way, aren't you going to prepare something delicious to go with this wine? "
The Gourmet shook his head. "A wine like this doesn't need to be paired with anything.
I've prepared some cheeses to go with it.
I don't want to eat anything with a strong taste today.
If you don't drink it, we can't wait any longer.
I can't live with these sneaky days any longer. "
Lan Jue laughed. "Alright, alright.
I'll be going first. "
They were going to drink tomorrow morning, and the Wine Master was missing. Who knew what would happen? Who knew if there would be a fight?
So Lan Jue left the Gourmet's Hut and decided to go to the university first. It would be a good time to arrange her classes.
As a part-time teacher, she really wasn't up to the task. She hadn't been to class for a long time, and soon she'd have to leave again.
She hopped on her bicycle and pedaled leisurely towards the National Eastern University.
The wheels spun rapidly, and a cool breeze caressed her face. It was an indescribable comfort.
Days like these were the best!
Lan Jue enjoyed the feeling.
By the time he arrived at the university, the gates were closed. It was long past the time for students to enter the campus.
However, as a teacher, he wasn't restricted. He entered through the side door and made a beeline for the electives building. As he rode, he contacted Wu Chun-yi to let him know he was there.
Wu Chun-yi's reply was quick. He'd be there in a moment, and would find him in the office.
The electives building's office was empty. Only four or five teachers were there.
Jin Yan, whom Lan Jue was most familiar with, wasn't there. Wang Hongyuan wasn't there either.
Assistant Professor Wang was probably still on vacation. The past two months had been torturous for him.
When the teachers in the office saw Lan Jue, they couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions.
In their eyes, this Miss Lan was really free and undisciplined!
In the beginning, it was fine. She was humble and polite. But after a few days, she didn't come to work often.
She didn't know how many times her electives had been cut off.
This time, it was even more exaggerated. She hadn't seen her for more than a month. This time, she'd probably come back to pack her things and leave.
Lan Jue arrived in front of his desk. It was very clean. Jin Yan must have been kind enough to wipe it for him.
A faint smile appeared on Lan Jue's face.
He sat in his seat and began to plan his next lecture.
Since he had to leave after this, he wanted to see if he could discuss with Dean Wu to add a few more classes in the next two weeks.
Not long after, a solemn-looking Wu Chun-yi appeared outside the office. "Miss Lan, come out for a moment."
Hearing Dean Wu's call, Lan Jue stood up and walked out.
Before walking out of the office, he clearly saw the pity in the eyes of the other teachers. They clearly thought that his guess was correct. This Miss Lan was probably going to pack up and leave.
But what they didn't know was that when Lan Jue walked out of the office, Dean Wu immediately changed his expression. He smiled and said in a low voice, "Miss Lan, you've worked hard.
Why didn't you rest for a few more days? Why did you come so soon? "
Looking at his warm smile, Lan Jue felt that he was sinister. If it wasn't for this cunning guy, she wouldn't have been so busy.
Asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
It's midnight today!
