Lu Yunsheng, who was confident at first, found himself at a loss for words.
Five million is no small sum for any Professional!
If spent wisely, it's enough for a Professional to use from the Newbie Stage to Level 50.
But to his surprise, Lin Ye refused without a second thought.
As for the other people around, they were all a bit baffled at this moment.
Hook and his group really couldn't understand this...
If you don't want to transfer to Experimental Middle School, then why come to meet with Lu Yunsheng?
"Do you have any conditions? Speak up, or I can adjust the amount appropriately," Lu Yunsheng said.
He still wanted to try to negotiate...
After all, with Lin Ye's level, if he took the college entrance exam, he would surely get into a prestigious university, which would benefit the school's admission rates.
And most importantly, he hoped that Ke Jue could have a reliable Healer sparring partner to level up before the Champion Battlefield.
Without a doubt, among the newcomers this year, the strongest Healer is definitely Lin Ye!
It could be said that if Lin Ye was willing to transfer to Experimental Middle School, it would be a win-win situation for him.
It would not only improve the admission rate but also find an excellent sparring partner for Ke Jue.
Lin Ye shook his head and said, "Forget about transferring, but I can lead your school's students to achieve the first-ever SSS rating in any Level 10 Secret Realm, in exchange for having my teacher, Chen Daosheng, appointed to teach at your school!"
In his past life, Lin Ye, in a moment of foolishness, not only ruined his future but also caused Chen Daosheng to lose his job.
However, Chen Daosheng did not blame Lin Ye at all; instead, he constantly encouraged him and provided financial support to help Lin Ye gradually emerge from the shadows during that time.
Unfortunately, by the time Lin Ye had the ability to repay his mentor, Chen Daosheng met with misfortune in an Alternate Space riot.
In this lifetime, Lin Ye is naturally intent on making amends.
At the very least, he wants to help Chen Daosheng find a job again.
But upon hearing Lin Ye's condition, Lu Yunsheng clearly expressed some displeasure.
"Achieving a first-ever SSS rating in any Secret Realm? You're speaking a bit too boastfully, aren't you?"
Where does a Healer get such confidence to say that?
Do you really think that just because you led Hook and the others to clear a couple of Newbie Level Secret Realms, you are now a carry god?
Even if Lin Ye demanded a price of ten million, his expression wouldn't be as grim.
Now he feels like a fool for wanting to recruit such an arrogant person to his school!
After all, his initial intention was simply to find a sparring partner for his main team member, Ke Jue, and the main guide of the team must be Ke Jue. With Lin Ye's personality, wouldn't he easily overstep his bounds?
"In that case, I'll take my leave first," Lin Ye said, noticing Lu Yunsheng's expression and understanding what was on his mind.
He didn't bother to explain and directly turned to leave.
Although he wanted to help Chen Daosheng regain his job, it didn't mean he had to compromise with anyone over this.
With Lin Ye's current progress, not to mention finding a job for Chen Daosheng, even supporting him directly wouldn't be an issue!
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Daosheng is not someone who likes to be provided for, Lin Ye wouldn't even bother.
Seeing that the conversation between Lin Ye and Lu Yunsheng had fallen apart quickly, Ke Jue, Hook, and the others exchanged glances...
"Principal Lu, this is..." Hook felt a little awkward.
He didn't expect that helping to facilitate the meeting would end in such an unpleasant breakup.
The main issue was that he didn't expect Lin Ye to have no intention of transferring at all...
"There's no need to waste time. You all should go do what you need to do! Try to level up as much as possible, and perform well during the college entrance exam," Lu Yunsheng casually instructed Hook and the others before turning to leave.
Clearly, he was upset because of Lin Ye.
As for Ke Jue, she glanced at Lin Ye's departing figure before following in Lu Yunsheng's footsteps.
Hook, Zhao Xue Ming, and Li Feng stood there stupefied, momentarily not knowing where to go.
"Let's go! Catch up with the boss!" Eventually, Hook decided to apologize to Lin Ye first.
Although he didn't expect things to escalate to this point, after all, he was the one who invited Lin Ye over.
"Alright, alright!"
Meanwhile, Zhao Xue Ming and Li Feng immediately expressed their intention to follow.
"Boss, boss!"
Lin Ye hadn't walked far and was quickly caught up by the trio.
"What's up?" Lin Ye stopped, looking at the three embarrassed faces.
"I'm sorry, boss. It's my fault for calling you over..." Hook apologized, looking a bit embarrassed.
"It's fine, it's a normal thing, don't take it to heart," Lin Ye said calmly.
A failed negotiation is no big deal.
Besides, he figured he wouldn't have much interaction with someone like Lu Yunsheng in the future and didn't let it bother him.
Seeing that Lin Ye wasn't affected by the incident, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, as we agreed yesterday, we each bear the cost of one Sheep Puppet's damage fee, and we're transferring it to you now!" Hook mentioned.
Zhao Xue Ming and Li Feng followed suit.
Lin Ye didn't refuse and received a total of 300,000 yuan from Hook and the others.
After transferring the money to Lin Ye, they all sighed in relief. Although Lin Ye didn't bring up the money issue with them, they couldn't justifiably take advantage.
"By the way, boss, which Secret Realm are you planning to go to today?" Hook asked again.
He knew he couldn't keep up with Lin Ye's pace anymore.
After all, he was just Level 3, while Lin Ye was already Level 5, and a 2-level gap increased the difficulty of the Secret Realms they could enter significantly.
Though Hook could enter a Level 5 Secret Realm, he was destined to just ride on others' coattails.
He didn't have the money to have Lin Ye help him level up again.
But he couldn't help feeling a sliver of hope...
What if Lin Ye wasn't in a hurry to go to a Level 5 Secret Realm?
Upon hearing Hook's inquiry, Lin Ye thought for a moment before settling on a suitable Secret Realm.
"I'm planning to go to Black Stone Mine!"
Upon hearing this, Hook and Zhao Xue Ming couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Black Stone Mine is a Level 5 Secret Realm, and with their skills, they might die if they went!
Some opportunities are just not within reach...
If your arms aren't long enough to hold onto, who's to blame?
...
Meanwhile...
"Grandpa, without a Level 5 Healer, should I just go to a Level 4 Secret Realm today?" Ke Jue said.
With no outsiders present, Ke Jue no longer put on an act and directly called Lu Yunsheng 'Grandpa'.
That's right, she is actually Lu Yunsheng's granddaughter.
"Silly girl! Do you think I'd allow you to suffer such grievances? Is Lin Ye the only Level 5 Healer in the entire Shan City?" Lu Yunsheng coldly snorted.
Fortunately, he already had a backup plan!
