In Fantasy World, the players' AR level, the players' various class levels, the players' four basic stats, and even the players' greatest physical potential and skills could be scanned with some tools.
Unless the players had special equipment or items that could prevent the scanning, the players' data was not a secret.
As Lu Jin sent his four basic stats to the three of them, they fell silent. Lu Shixue looked at Lu Jin as though she was looking at a monster.
Strength: 67
Agility: 61
Endurance: 60
Neural Reaction: 72
His Strength, Agility and Endurance had all reached Rank 'S'. His Neural Reaction had even reached Rank 'SS', which was unheard of. Those basic stats were simply heaven-defying.
Moreover, it seemed that his Agility, Endurance and Neural Reaction could be further improved.
His Agility and Endurance had the potential to reach 65, while his Neural Reaction had the potential to reach 75.
It should be known that normally, when players entered Soldier Class, their basic stats would be Rank 'F', with their stats ranging from six to nine. Those with exceptional talent would be able to reach Rank 'E' at the start, and their stats would only range from 11 to 13.
Normal players would only break through to Soldier Class when they reached Rank 'B', and Rank 'B' stats would usually be around 45. With Rank 'F' stats added on, the basic stats of one in the Soldier Class would not exceed 55. That was right, the average player's stats would not exceed 55!
Even for a few gifted people like Wang Zhonghu, some of their stats, like Strength and Agility, could break through to Rank 'A'. After reaching Rank 'E' as a Soldier, their stats would be around 70. However, Lu Jin's Neural Reaction was currently already 72.
"No wonder Wang Zhonghu was unable to block that move. Wang Zhonghu's loss is not unjustified given these basic stats." Qin Lianyue could not help but look at Wang Zhonghu, who was on the battle stage, with some sympathy.
In a situation where the basic stats of both parties were similar, Wang Zhonghu was definitely stronger as his five senses were better. But in a head-on clash, Lu Jin, who had a superior Magical weapon, was simply overpowering.
Moreover, Wang Zhonghu's advantage in Adventurer level had become meaningless in that situation.
The upgrade of the Adventurer's level was mainly targeted at the monsters in Fantasy World. One could suppress the monsters' level and could cause more damage, or one could be suppressed by the monsters' level and could be dealt more damage by the monsters while they dealt less damage to the monsters at the same time.
The greatest advantage of an Adventurer's level to a player in a PK was that the upper limit of their Health Points was higher and that they could withstand more damage. However, under the continuous attacks of a superior Magical weapon, without any weapon to defend or buffer, it was impossible to block them with just the defense of the equipment itself.
That was like the reality for those two people. Their physical fitness was about the same. One held a weapon while the other had no weapon. The outcome of a head-on clash was obvious.
Previously, Wang Zhonghu wanted to leverage on his basic stats to clash head-on with Lu Jin. Although Lu Jin would have been able to injure Wang Zhonghu, he could have easily defeated Lu Jin when there was a significant disparity between their Strengths. Moreover, he could also have inflicted considerable damage to Lu Jin and could have finished him off in one go.
Wang Zhonghu's idea was not wrong, but it was a pity that Wang Zhonghu did not expect Lu Jin to be a monster in terms of stats. Even without having broken through AR Level 10, his basic stats were already comparable to a Rank 'E' Soldier…
At that moment, Qin Lianyue was not the only one who sympathized with Wang Zhonghu. The people in the banquet hall who had scanned Lu Jin using the data monitoring card also sympathized with Wang Zhonghu.
"Monster!"
"This Lu Jin is a monster!"
"Three stats in Rank 'S' and one in Rank 'SS'. What is going on? Didn't the Adventurers' Association test data show that Neural Reaction could only reach Rank 'S'? Could it be a mistake?"
"It must have been a mistake, or the Xia family must have hidden it on purpose. This body data is probably the best body data in the history of the City of Light. Just based on this physical potential, who in all the groups and families in the entire City of Light would miss it? I would even be willing to provide for him daily!"
…
Everyone gasped when they looked at Lu Jin's basic stats.
In the City of Light, one was considered gifted when one of their four basic stats had reached Rank 'A'. Anyone who could reach Rank 'S' for any of their basic stats would be the cream of the crop, and their talent could be ranked among the top few among the younger generation of the city.
Basic stats of which three were 'S'-ranked and one was 'SS'-ranked, which was a rank that no one had ever heard of, was simply unheard of.
"The Xia family has really struck it rich this time. With such physical potential, they're practically invincible among their peers."
"This is not just invincibility on the same level. With such physical potential, he can definitely fight across levels. Looks like it won't be long before the Xia family can produce another top-notch Adventurer who is comparable to AR Level 21…"
"No, no, no! That's not Lu Jin's true strength. If his children inherited part of his physical potential, this family would probably become the strongest family in the City of Light in less than 20 years!"
…
All the leaders of families at the scene looked at Lu Jin with fiery eyes.
What was lacking in that world for the major families?
Talent!
To be precise, it was talent within the family!
If the children of any family in the City of Light had the potential to reach Rank 'A', they would devote all their efforts to nurturing those children. They did not hope to break through AR Level 20 in the future because it was too difficult. There were less than 30 top-notch experts like those in the entire City of Light. When those who were reclusive and who hid in the shadows were added, there would definitely not be more than 50 people.
One had to know that there were more than six million people in the entire City of Light. However, there were less than 50 people who had broken through AR Level 20. On average, it was not even enough for a large group, let alone the major families in the city.
Therefore, the major families did not place their hopes on that. Instead, they placed their hopes on reaching AR Level 20. Usually, they only needed to break through AR Level 10. Then, they had to slowly work through it. After a few decades, they would be able to reach AR Level 20. That way, with the potential to achieve Rank 'A', it would be enough to dominate in AR Level 20.
Currently, all the influential families were judged based on that. Generally, a family that was considered an influential family in the City of Light had at least two Rank 'A' Senior Adventurers who were at AR Level 20.
However, it was too difficult for a family to give birth to a child with Rank 'A' aptitude, let alone one who had Rank 'S' aptitude.
Lu Jin's physical potential was heaven-defying. Even if his children could only inherit a small portion of his potential, they could easily reach Rank 'A' aptitude. If they were lucky, they could even reach Rank 'S' aptitude. With so many family geniuses, why would they need to worry about their family not flourishing in the City of Light?
After the battle between Lu Jin and Wang Zhonghu ended, Xia Qingyao officially announced to everyone that Lu Jin would be the General Manager of the Fantasy Light Group's logistics department. However, considering that Lu Jin wasn't familiar with the logistics department yet, Qin Lianyue would be the Deputy General Manager of the logistics department temporarily.
No one, including Meng Junjie, was surprised by Xia Qingyao's announcement.
Although Lu Jin was the Xia family's son-in-law and was already considered a part of the Xia family now, he was still someone who had not broken through AR Level 10. Even if he was the General Manager, no one in the logistics department would be convinced by him. Furthermore, Lu Jin was not familiar with the Fantasy Light Group, so it would be even more difficult for him to manage the employees in the logistics department.
That way, it was naturally best for Qin Lianyue, the right-hand man, to manage it. After all, Qin Lianyue was a top-notch Adventurer whose AR Level had broken through Level 20. For such a strong person who was not a member of the logistics department of the four major families, she would naturally be convincing and it would be much easier for her to manage.
As the people at the engagement banquet dispersed, everything that happened at the banquet spread to the entire City of Light. For a moment, the entire city was in an uproar. They did not expect Xia Qingyao to successfully take over the entire logistics department. Lu Jin, who was her husband, was also extraordinary. The entire Fantasy Light Group would probably change in the future.
"Uncle Meng, I failed this time." Wang Zhonghu looked at Meng Junjie, who was sitting quietly in the car, and said apologetically, "Because of me, the four families lost control of the logistics department…"
"This isn't your fault. Who would have thought that Lu Jin was hiding so well?" Meng Junjie, who was sitting in the back of the car, glanced at Wang Zhonghu and smiled nonchalantly. "Although this outcome was not within my expectations, Xia Qingyao will soon realize that without the help of the four families, she won't be able to do anything even if she takes over the logistics department. When the time comes, she will return the management rights of the logistics department to us. As for what you should do next, you should be clear, right?"
"Understood!" Wang Zhonghu nodded as a cold smile appeared on his face.
The logistics department was too big. It involved all sorts of matters. Even if Lu Jin and Qin Lianyue took over the logistics department, they would not be able to do anything. They would only be able to watch plainly.
Time passed quickly. It was now seven days after the engagement banquet ended.
In the City of Light, the Xia family's Daylight Residence:
In an underground training room that was the size of a football field, Lu Jin, who was drenched in sweat, put away the sword in his hand. He watched as the Level 10 monster that had eaten the last remnants of the crystal residues during that day's training slowly dissipated. He let out a deep breath.
"The chances of a monster mutating are really low. I've used up all the crystal residues, but there wasn't a single mutation." Lu Jin looked at the Level 10 monster that had turned into ashes and felt slightly regretful.
For seven consecutive days, ever since the engagement banquet ended, Lu Jin and Lu Shixue moved to the Xia family's Daylight Residence. As for the official wedding, because the Fantasy Light Group was facing too many problems now, they had to wait for a year.
Xia Qingyao was very sorry about that, but Lu Jin felt that it was just right.
That was because he had problems that he needed to solve too. If he couldn't solve them, he might not even live past a year…
In the Daylight Residence, Lu Jin understood what luxury and training meant.
There was no need to go to the Bestial Battle Arena at all. The Daylight Residence of the Xia family had a large number of powerful Level 10 monsters that the hunting teams had captured from the wild. There were even Level 20 monsters. Thanks to Lu Jin, they had caught quite a number of Level 10 monsters recently. He could train however he wanted without worrying about his growth data being exposed.
As for the simulation equipment, they were also upgraded to the B3 model. Compared to the A3 model simulation equipment, the feel and realism had increased by about 30%.They could unleash 100% of the effects of the superior Magical weapon, the Sword of Lake Light.
After seven consecutive days of intense training, Lu Jin's basic stats had improved quite a bit.
"My basic stats haven't improved at all in the past two days. It seems that I've reached my limit." Lu Jin looked at his stats window.
Currently, his Strength had reached 69, his Agility had reached 67, his Endurance had reached 65, and his Neural Reaction had reached 78. After two days of intense training and even honing his basic Sword Aurora, with the support of the Heart of Destruction, to the point where he could use it as he wished, his four basic stats still hadn't improved at all.
The only possibility was that his physical potential had already reached the limit, so there could not be any more improvement.
"Since I can't advance any further, it's time to break through Level 10."
