"Huh??"
Lu Xiaobai's expression froze.
Schemer? Hero? Can these two words even be put together?
"Dad, you wouldn't happen to be this kind of... hero too, would you?"
He looked at Lu Xingtian, whose face was full of dignity and neatness, and an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind.
"Naturally!"
Lu Xingtian's eyes held a hint of pride as he slowly said:
"If it weren't for your dad being sneaky and killing three Star Bug Kings in one fell swoop back then, I might not have gotten the position of Speaker so smoothly."
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and he muttered:
"But you look so righteous..."
"More nonsense!"
Lu Xingtian curled his lip and said:
"If someone's looks and aura screamed 'schemer,' who the hell could they ever scheme against?"
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched.
That made so much sense; for a moment, he couldn't find a single word to refute it...
"Alright, pay more attention yourself. I won't say any more."
Lu Xingtian warned him, then changed the subject:
"By the way, remember to open the door later."
"Open the door? For what?"
"Didi Beatdown is coming to your door."
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and he wailed:
"Dad, are you serious?"
"Nonsense, since you broke the rules, you have to accept the punishment!"
Lu Xingtian smiled comfortingly and said:
"Don't worry, you are my son. I specifically ordered a medical package for you; nothing bad will happen."
"..."
Lu Xiaobai only felt a shiver run down his spine. He even ordered a medical package?!
He didn't hesitate at all and hurriedly said:
"Dad, I... my Body Refinement Method has reached level four!"
He originally wanted to reveal the heaven-defying golden finger in his body. This thing would definitely allow him to show off in front of his dad, but it would only be this one time.
If he slowly revealed his changes, wouldn't he be able to show off countless times?
Thinking of this, he only mentioned the change in his Body Refinement Method.
Just as the philosophy he had always followed in his heart: it's not about not showing off, but about showing off flexibly and sustainably...
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Lu Xingtian was about to hang up the call, but upon hearing the other party's words, he instantly stopped his movements.
"What did you just say?"
His tone was stern as he slowly said:
"If you dare to fool your old man, you know the consequences!"
"Dad, I definitely wouldn't dare lie to you..."
"So, your Body Refinement Method has really reached level four?"
Lu Xingtian had a thoughtful look on his face as he slowly said:
"The last time you reported to me, it was only level one, right? Now, after just a month, it's directly increased by three levels?"
"Mhm..."
Lu Xiaobai actually wanted to say that he had leveled up three times in one day, but he felt it was too shocking. His dad probably wouldn't believe it anyway...
"How did you do it?"
"Uh... I just suddenly had an epiphany. It felt like my brain suddenly opened up..."
"Is that so?"
Lu Xingtian raised an eyebrow. He didn't doubt it in his heart.
For mediocre people, it might take ten years to level up once, but for top geniuses, it was possible to level up three times in a month...
"In that case, you might really not fail the Star Exam?"
"Of course I won't fail!"
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and couldn't help but brag:
"Dad, I feel like it won't be long before I can raise my Body Refinement Method to max level. Even in the worst-case scenario, I'll be guaranteed admission to a top-tier university!"
"Stop boasting!"
Lu Xingtian glanced at his youngest son and couldn't help but pour cold water on him:
"Back in the day, it only took your old man a year to reach level four in the Body Refinement Method, but it took a full five years to reach max level!"
He was able to become one of the human Speakers not only because of the Lu family's support but also because he was a top genius of his era. Naturally, he possessed a max-level Body Refinement Method.
"Isn't it true that each generation is stronger than the last..."
Lu Xiaobai rubbed his nose and chuckled.
"You have to take things one step at a time; don't aim too high!"
Lu Xingtian smiled and said:
"I remember the class practical combat test at the beginning of the month is coming up, right? If you really want to prove you're better than your old man, then get into the top ten first!"
He knew Lu Xiaobai's rank was dead last in the class, and trying to reach the top ten in just a few days was undoubtedly a huge challenge!
Lu Xiaobai was about to speak when lines of floating text suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Two-Star Mission Issued: Obtain first place in the class practical combat test]
[Young man, you cannot set your standards so low. A mere top ten is far from your true strength. Take first place and prove yourself]
"..."
When Lu Xiaobai saw the mission appear, he was originally ecstatic, but the moment he saw the mission requirements, he instantly wanted to curse.
According to his current Body Refinement Method level, as long as he was given some time, taking first place in the class wouldn't be a problem at all.
But the key issue now was,
There were only five days left until the class test at the beginning of the month. How the hell could he catch up...
"Boy, what's wrong? Do you think top ten is too hard?"
Lu Xingtian looked at Lu Xiaobai's troubled expression and seemed to guess what he was thinking.
"No, it's not hard. To be exact, it's quite simple!"
Lu Xiaobai agreed immediately.
He really wasn't showing off; he was telling the truth. Compared to this two-star mission, his dad's request really was nothing...
"Oh?"
Lu Xingtian raised an eyebrow and smiled:
"I hope you aren't just boasting, kid!"
"Alright, I've canceled the Didi Beatdown order. Figure out how to get into the top ten on your own!"
In an instant, Lu Xingtian's image disappeared as he cut the connection.
"Top ten... what's the top ten..."
Lu Xiaobai rubbed his head and muttered to himself:
"My problem right now is that I need to take first place!"
He had already tasted the benefits of Starry Sky Points, so naturally, he wasn't willing to give up any mission. This was the key to whether he could reach the pinnacle of life!
After a while.
Lu Xiaobai called Yu Wei's communication chip.
"Brother Lu, you looking for me?"
Yu Wei's image appeared, his eyes still carrying a look of excitement.
"Monkey, help me gather all the information on Du An!"
If he wanted to complete the mission, his biggest opponent was the current class rank one, Du An. If he could beat him, it would basically be in the bag.
"Du An? No problem."
Yu Wei was slightly taken aback, but he didn't ask too many questions and agreed immediately.
Lu Xiaobai hung up the call and fell into thought, muttering to himself:
"If only I could take potions during the class test..."
He rubbed his head, feeling a hint of regret in his heart.
If he could take potions, let alone one Du An, he could single-handedly take on the top ten of the class without a problem. After all, under the effects of various potions, he would be like an unkillable cockroach; he could win just by grinding them down...
Right at this moment.
His robot butler came forward, carrying plates of fragrant food:
"Master, please enjoy your meal!"
Lu Xiaobai didn't think about it anymore and started to scarf down the food.
After discovering that he might possess a physique transcending the SSS-rank, his craving for these nutrient-rich foods grew even stronger.
Just as Lu Xingtian had said, the day would eventually come when his physique would awaken!
