In his previous life, Su Yaoyao tricked Lin Ye into handing over the Flame Warrior's Professional Badge, and coupled with her A-level talent, she was considered above average in the crowd.
However, just relying on these, she dreamed of winning the title of Rookie King in the college entrance exam, which was a bit too fanciful.
Before Su Yaoyao acquired the Flame Warrior, she actually did not have any particularly outstanding achievements.
Her real rise was after that Level 10 space riot.
After she came out back then, she surged forward, not only winning the Rookie King title of that year's Shan City, but also making a name for herself in the Academic Alliance after entering university, briefly becoming very popular.
But later, she either became too confident or something else, she went into a high-level Anomalous Spatial Rift and never emerged again.
She probably died within the Alternate Space.
Lin Ye can confirm that Su Yaoyao definitely obtained some extraordinary opportunity during that Level 10 Alternate Space riot!
Because among those who entered this Alternate Space at the time, she was the best amongst the few survivors, achieving far beyond what her talent should have allowed!
Lin Ye does not know what opportunity the Su Yaoyao from his previous life encountered during that Alternate Space riot.
But now, Lin Ye has to seize this opportunity!
...
After Lin Ye left, Wei Qin was organizing her current work.
As the hall manager of the Professional Center, her workload was quite large.
And at that moment, a staff member rushed toward her in a hurry.
"Manager Wei, something bad has happened!"
Wei Qin looked up and asked, "What's the situation?"
"Mr. Lin's dropout application has been rejected..." the staff member said somewhat gloomily.
She realized this after finishing her tasks.
Then immediately came to find Wei Qin.
Wei Qin was stunned but quickly realized.
Probably the principal of First High School did not want to let him go, so relations were used to reject Lin Ye's application without any basis.
Actually, the act of dropping out was quite a normal thing among Professionals.
Not every Professional follows the route of college entrance exams strictly.
Without dropping out, the subsidies from the Professional Alliance would directly be sent to schools and then distributed to the corresponding students.
This was clearly a shackle for those students who wanted to go directly into society...
Therefore, dropping out is generally based on voluntary principles, and applications are usually approved.
Of course, from Wei Qin's perspective, Lin Ye probably wouldn't care about this subsidy.
The only explanation was probably a conflict between Lin Ye and the school's leadership, forcing Lin Ye to use dropping out as a counterattack.
Otherwise, why put in so much effort?
And now, with Lin Ye's dropout application rejected, it further supports Wei Qin's thoughts.
"Should we notify Mr. Lin to return and submit appeal materials?" the clerk asked.
"No need, you don't have to deal with this matter." Wei Qin shook her head.
Such matters were beyond the processing capability they had, and Zhang Ruiqi had to be involved.
Seeing the clerk leave, Wei Qin directly made a call to Zhang Ruiqi.
She knew this call would mean someone would be in trouble...
But what of it?
Some people are just asking for it.
...
Lin Ye left the Professional Center and headed straight to the plaza.
Because it was the new season, the plaza was much more bustling than usual.
In the residential area of the settlement, one cannot enter the Secret Realm; only at the Professional Plaza can one use the Professional panel to enter and explore the Secret Realm.
So every settlement, regardless of size, will have its own Professional Plaza.
And Shan City, a fourth-tier settlement, has a Professional Plaza the size of nearly fifty football fields; it takes more than half a day to walk from one corner to another.
Some cities even have more than one Professional Plaza.
Once past the plaza, you enter the non-safe zone and go into the area where Anomalous Spatial Rifts are present.
There lies the truly dangerous area.
Occasional riots occur, where monsters pouring from the Anomalous Spatial Rifts rush toward the human settlements.
Therefore, the Professional Plaza is actually the first line of defense against threats from the Alternate Space.
But in usual times, it's the area of activities for Professionals.
Wherever there is a crowd, there will be people doing business.
So at the plaza now, many people had set up their stalls, selling their items.
Generally, high-end goods are consigned through the Professional Center for sale because it's safe and guaranteed.
But common Green Armor and Blue Armor are mostly sold directly at the plaza stalls.
This way avoids tax and makes them cheaper.
Lin Ye was here to buy some Blue Equipment.
He now had over two million in his hands; if he were to buy Purple Armor, he could top buy two pieces.
But relatively it's more cost-effective, as around a dozen thousand can get you a deal.
And then, by investing Spiritual Essence into refining, you can enhance them into Purple Armor, which is much more cost-effective than buying Purple Armor directly.
After a search, Lin Ye finally saw what he wanted at a stall.
"Rage Wave Staff, Blue quality! Act quickly! Once sold, the stall is closed!" exclaimed a tall and skinny middle-aged man.
"Rage Wave Staff?"
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.
This staff, he remembered being somewhat famous among beginner equipment.
But unlike the equally Blue quality Recovery Ring, the Rage Wave Staff was known for its quirks...
Because this staff has a rather useless attribute that enhances Spell Strength by 3 points in 3 seconds!
3 points of Spell Strength is absolutely an incredible enhancement.
But at only 3 seconds, it's plainly a trap...
For many beginners, 3 seconds might not even be enough to cast a skill, while the better ones require around 2 seconds; this 3-second boost is terribly useless.
And higher-level Mages disdain this staff due to its overly beginner-oriented baseline attributes.
So this attribute, aside from being a trap, has no other use.
But for an operating master like Lin Ye, it's a true gem!
Lin Ye could even use Spiritual Essence to enhance this staff to Purple quality, thereby boosting the overall property's strength!
"Purple quality Rage Wave Staff..."
Lin Ye was slightly excited just thinking about it.
This staff indeed had to be acquired.
Lin Ye went over and asked, "Boss, how much is this staff?"
"Fixed price, fifty thousand!" The boss confidently said, "Don't think it's expensive, this staff's attribute is quite strong, it directly adds 3 points of Spell Strength! You heard right, a whopping 3 points of Spell Strength!"
Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh...
This guy, treating him like a newbie?
