Chapter 488, The Drawing Lots Ceremony

Translator: Silavin

 

Although the plan was sound, wanting to reach Level 60 and undergo his Third Profession Change within two months was a formidable task. Lu Fan’s only hope was that he possessed the strength to clear Dungeon Instances beyond his Level, and at the same time, he had too many High Level Dungeon Instances available to him.

 

Just from the National Trial Secret Realm alone, Lu Fan had been rewarded with several Dungeon Instances.

 

If Lu Fan asked, Dragon Capital University would also provide him with a massive number of Dungeon Instances as well. [If I grind like mad, having my Third Profession Change within two months might not be impossible…]

 

It seemed like after returning to Dragon Capital University, he would be extremely busy for a while.

 

The next day, Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian both rode on the Divine Bone Clone to the airport closest to the Western Border.

 

After Ye Wuxian reluctantly saw Lu Fan off, the two parted ways. Lu Fan boarded the plane back to Dragon Capital, while Ye Wuxian temporarily returned to the Ye Family.

 

After whiling away another day on the journey, Lu Fan finally returned to Dragon Capital University.

 

This time, Lu Fan had not mentioned his return to his Aunt and the others beforehand. He intends to give them a huge surprise.

 

But when Lu Fan arrived at Villa No. 2, he found the entire villa empty.

 

As he was wondering why Han Ke, Jian Ying and the others were nowhere to be found, he happened to receive a call from Zhao Shengming.

 

After talking with Zhao Shengming, Lu Fan learned why no one was at Villa No. 2 today. It turned out that today happened to be the drawing lots ceremony for the final exam, and all freshmen had gone to the University’s auditorium.

 

The final exam, like the freshmen exam, had a completely random testing method, determined through the drawing of lots by a Vice Principal. This drawing would take place out in the public, for all students and faculty to see.

 

If 2V2 or a 5V5 were drawn, everyone present would have only two hours to find their teammates. Then, they would need to register their team information with a teaching assistant.

 

If after two hours there were still people who had not found their teammates, these people would be considered as having automatically forfeited. Their test scores would be judged as ‘Fail’, and they would even need to take a make-up exam next year. Otherwise, they would not be able to participate in sophomore courses.

 

Zhao Shengming was the person hosting the drawing lots ceremony. When he saw that Lu Fan was not present, he thought Lu Fan was still at the Western Border and had not returned. So, he made a phone call to ask Lu Fan what his plans were for the final exam.

 

If Lu Fan really could not make it back on time, then Zhao Shengming would have to ‘open a back door’ for him and help him register.

 

Of course, under normal circumstances, if a student did not show up, there was actually no way for someone to register on their behalf. After all, not attending such an important occasion and being given a failing grade was reasonable.

 

But Lu Fan was too special to not be granted such leniency. He was a Hero of Dragon Country and was extremely popular – not just in the University but throughout the whole country!

 

If Lu Fan failed his final exam, it would probably make the news headlines if word got out.

 

Upon learning that today was actually the day they would be drawing lots and registering, Lu Fan commented how his timing was truly impeccable.

 

[So Auntie, Jian Ying and the others are in the auditorium right now. No wonder they aren’t at home.]

 

Learning of the situation, Lu Fan told Zhao Shengming that there was no need to register on his behalf, since proxy registration was against the rules, and if Zhao Shengming did so, it would inevitably lead to rumours behind his back.

 

Since he had already returned, he would head to the auditorium right now.

 

Upon hearing that Lu Fan had returned, Zhao Shengming was relieved and told Lu Fan not to rush, as the ‘Mobilisation General Assembly’ for the final exam had just begun. As long as Lu Fan could arrive at the auditorium before the registration ended, it would be fine.

 

Despite these words, Lu Fan had not seen Han Ke for quite some time and missed her so much. So, Lu Fan directly manifested his Holy Dragon King’s Bone Wings and flew all the way to the auditorium amid the exclamations of the senior students.

 

At this moment in the auditorium, the drawing lots ceremony for the final exam had begun.

 

The first lot had already been drawn by Zhao Shengming.

 

This year’s final exam would still be internal student battles, rather than a Secret Realm points competition.

 

Next to be drawn was the number of team members for the final exam.

 

Lu Fan did not care much about this, because he was confident in his own strength. No matter what lot was drawn, he would definitely be number one. This position was unshakeable by anyone.

 

Lu Fan felt like he was a PhD scholar returning to kindergarten. If he gave kindergarteners PhD problems, would that not be bullying?

 

So, Lu Fan did not pay much attention to the stage but instead scanned from the entrance of the auditorium. He was searching for Han Ke and the others.

 

Soon, Lu Fan spotted the four beautiful girls sitting together in the crowd.

 

At this moment, the four beautiful girls were focusing intently on the drawing lots ceremony on stage, seeming to attach great importance to the final exam.

 

Seeing that there was still an empty seat beside Jian Ying among the four, Lu Fan tiptoed over and sat down next to Tao Xiaoman.

 

“Young Lady, how about we make friends?” Lu Fan and Tao Xiaoman were a pair of ‘happy rivals’. For them, friendly bickering was a common occurrence.

 

So, after sitting down, Lu Fan smilingly made a joke.

 

Tao Xiaoman was watching the drawing lots ceremony. Hearing a man speak like this next to her, she immediately retorted without thinking. “Get lost, you pervert… Oh, Lu Fan!?”

 

Before she could finish the word ‘loser’, Tao Xiaoman finally belatedly realised that the person beside her was Lu Fan.

 

Immediately, she was in pure joy. She almost jumped up, in front of everybody.

 

At the same time, she grabbed Qin Qiu’s arm next to her and softly exclaimed. “Look! Lu Fan has returned!”

 

Only then did the other three girls see that Lu Fan had somehow arrived here, and they were all extremely happy.

 

Seeing that Tao Xiaoman and the other girls were so happy about his return, Lu Fan felt great warmth in his heart.

 

However, he was not a person skilled at making expressions. He just smiled at Tao Xiaoman. “I think I heard you call me a pervert? Hmm… this pervert has brought you a gift that you probably won’t accept though?”

 

Saying this, Lu Fan casually tossed an Item Panel to Tao Xiaoman.

 

It was a Level 35 Platinum Grade long sword, considered top quality.

 

A Platinum Grade weapon with a Level Requirement of 35 was exceedingly rare. After all, High Grade equipment like Platinum Grade items generally had Level Requirements of 50 or above.

 

So, this long sword was definitely a wonderful weapon that could enhance Tao Xiaoman’s current strength by leaps and bounds!

 

Upon seeing the Item Panel for this long sword, Tao Xiaoman was immediately shocked. Her eyes filled with small stars, clearly showing her deep desire for it.
