Time passed, and soon the two were sitting at the dinner table, looking at numerous delicacies they had prepared themselves.
While they were having dinner, the two chatted and laughed. At that moment, it didn't even seem like they were in a world where countless monsters had appeared and every day life was uncertain.
At some point, Ling Yun'er remembered that her brother had come home early and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why did you come home early today? At this time, you wouldn't be at university?"
University!
When Ling Yun'er's words reached Ling Han, he immediately realized that he hadn't gone to university.
After all, besides being the manager of Company Yuhan most of the day and training in his free time, Ling Han also attended university at night.
However, Ling Han didn't care much at that moment.
The only reason he worked so hard was to have a better life, but now that he had become a Guardian, there was no longer a need.
He would dedicate all his time to leveling up!
"I didn't go today. Actually, I'm not going anymore, and I'll even quit my job at Company Yunhe tomorrow," Ling Han said casually while eating.
Ling Yun'er was stunned for a moment upon hearing her brother's words, thinking she was hallucinating.
My brother is dropping out of college and quitting?
This was the same dedicated brother who could barely sit still without doing something productive!
She even pinched her own arm, and upon feeling the pain, she realized she wasn't dreaming. Soon, an idea popped into her mind.
There can only be one reason for Ling Han to decide to abandon everything at once...
"Brother, did you become a Guardian?" Ling Yun'er's eyes widened, and she looked closely at her brother, as if trying to read his expression.
"You figured it out! I wanted to surprise you..." Ling Han murmured, pretending to have a remorseful expression.
He had even taken off his Guardian smart bracelet before entering the house so that his sister wouldn't notice anything, but it seemed it was all in vain.
"Haha, who told you to have such an intelligent sister like me?"
"How about I pretend I don't know, and you tell me?"
"That wouldn't be fun! Haha!"
...
After countless jokes, Ling Han showed a serious expression and finally said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Leveling Area."
"Hmm-hmm," Ling Yun'er nodded, not stopping her eating.
"Just nodding? Aren't you going to say anything? Not even tell me to be careful?" Ling Han widened his eyes, looking at his younger sister.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun'er stopped eating, looked directly into Ling Han's eyes with a lost puppy look, and replied, "I don't need to say anything. You would never bear to leave this world, having such an adorable and cute little sister like me, right?"
"You..." Ling Han was left speechless, observing the look his sister was giving him. Even with his highest determination, his heart couldn't help but waver.
"Of course, I can't leave this world, at least not before my sister learns to cook without making a mess!" Ling Han joked lightly.
"You're so mean!"
"Haha."
...
Soon, dinner ended, and Ling Han helped Ling Yun'er wash the dishes before finally returning to his room.
However, when he was about to enter his room, he felt something hug him tightly from behind. It was Ling Yun'er.
Turning around, he saw his sister's delicate face, which, although she tried to hide it, was showing a few tears.
It was natural that she was worried about what could happen the next day.
'What a silly girl,' Ling Han thought, and decided to comfort his younger sister.
"Don't worry. When have you ever seen your brother do something without being sure? When I climbed the Infinite Staircase today, I awakened a very strong talent, really very strong."
"Even a rank F Guardian at level 19 wouldn't be a match for your brother!" Ling Han said with a slight smile, while wiping her tears away.
"Is it true?" Ling Yun'er widened her eyes and looked at her brother as if she wanted to make sure he wasn't just making it up to protect her.
"Of course it's true!"
In the end, she only believed it when Ling Han took a large metal knife and bent it slightly with his own hands.
After explaining several times that she could never expose the talent or strength he had on the same day he climbed the Infinite Staircase, Ling Han finally entered his room.
The first thing he did upon entering was grab his smart bracelet, which he had kept in his pocket, and unlock it.
It's time to discover the functions of the Guardians' smart bracelet!
In the next instant, a hologram appeared above the bracelet, and Ling Han began to discover its functions.
There were several options, but the ones that caught Ling Han's attention at the moment were three.
[Quests]
[Store]
[Tickets]
The first thing Ling Han did was click on the tickets tab, but unfortunately, it showed that there were none.
"Really, as the officer said earlier, maybe only tomorrow will I be able to know the location of the leveling area!"
Well, since I can't see the location, why not look at some weapons in the [Store]?
With this thought, Ling Han immediately opened the store interface, and a flood of items that made Ling Han's eyes shine suddenly appeared.
"I don't have any weapons, let's see how much the weapons in the guardian temple's store cost."
After murmuring, Ling Han immediately opened the weapons section and set it to sort in ascending order by price.
He really couldn't stand looking at all those more expensive weapons and just staying in desire.
[Wolf Tooth Sword (Rank F): Cost 150 contribution points. This is a sword forged from the tooth of a Rank F beast, the gray wolf...]
[Fire Bow (Rank F): Cost 280 contribution points. This is a bow forged from the tendon of a Rank E beast, the flame serpent...]
...
[Shadow Dagger (Rank E): Cost 1520 contribution points. This is a dagger created from the claws of a Rank C beast, the Night Tiger.]
