I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

"Permanent Defense After Being Hit, Even Gods and Demons Can't Hit Me" ranked high in the Cola Novels readers' vote for the best urban novel!

"Not much, just something around 10 or 8 o'clock will do."

Seeing Lin Yuan's dramatic change of expression, Su Ya and Zhao Wuji were speechless.

I was so moved I almost cried just now, but now I just want to laugh.

"Ten o'clock or eight o'clock?!"

Zhao Wuji's eyes widened: "Lin Yuan, do you know how much a skill point scroll costs on the black market?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

Zhao Wuji stretched out a hand and flipped it over:

"The cheapest one costs five million and is applicable to all skill level upgrades up to level 5."

"Holy crap?! That's so expensive!"

Lin Yuan was startled, but then became even more excited.

He grabbed Zhao Wuji's hand, tears streaming down his face:

"Five million may be expensive, but friendship is priceless!"

"My two mentors, I have shed blood for my country! I have risked my life for my country!"

"You can't let the heroes bleed and weep!"

"My skill points! Waaaaaah!"

The two of them were also a bit of a headache watching Lin Yuan, who was acting like a drama queen.

How come this guy's skin is thicker than his defenses?

"Alright, alright! Stop acting!"

Su Ya sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "We didn't say we wouldn't give it to you, that's easy to say."

"After all, the full set of gold equipment that was originally intended as a reward for you is worth over 100 million on the market."

"Converting it into skill point scrolls for you is also an option."

"Moreover, the top scorer's reward already includes resource allocation in this regard."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.

The tears on his face instantly dried, and his expression immediately turned serious:

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"It made me spend so much time getting into the mood."

Su Ya rolled her eyes and said irritably:

Did you give me a chance to speak?

"I never expected that the mighty God of the Abyss would have such a dramatic side."

Lin Yuan chuckled, sat down again, and poured himself some tea.

"There's nothing I can do, I'm just a nobody."

"Everything must be earned through one's own efforts."

"The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Now that the skill point issue was resolved, Lin Yuan no longer held back.

His eyes flashed. Since the other party said "special treatment would be given," he would have to ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Besides that, I have one more small request."

Su Ya picked up her teacup: "Go ahead, as long as it's not about the stars in the sky, we can discuss anything."

Lin Yuan raised his finger:

"First, I want rare skill books."

"Active skills and passive skills are both acceptable, as long as they are usable by knights or are universally applicable."

"I'm not picky about food, the rarer the better."

"Secondly, if possible, could you perhaps give me a treasure from the [Cooldown Dungeon]?"

"It's the kind of thing that can reset the number of times you can enter a dungeon, or reduce the cooldown time of a dungeon."

"I want to run the dungeon a few more times."

"After all, I also need to work hard to upgrade and win glory for the country as soon as possible."

In reality, Lin Yuan was trying to increase the defense layers of the [Eternal Calamity] skill.

After all, monsters in the wild are too scattered, while monsters in dungeons are dense and obedient, making them the best place to farm defense.

Upon hearing this request, Su Ya put down her teacup and frowned slightly.

"You sure know how to ask for an exorbitant amount, kid."

"Any treasure related to 'time' or 'cooldown' is incredibly precious."

"It belongs to the national strategic resources."

"If you're just an ordinary top scorer in the national exam, you definitely won't be able to get this."

Su Ya paused, looking at Lin Yuan's expectant eyes, and then changed the subject:

"However, given your unique talent and your tremendous contribution in this battle against the Abyss."

"I'll try to get special approval from above; it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lin Yuan was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Professor Su! Professor Su is so generous!"

"alright."

Su Ya waved her hand, her expression becoming serious.

Zhao Wuji, who was next to him, also sat up straight and adjusted the cuffs of his Tang suit.

Now for the main event.

"We now know about your situation, and the rewards have been agreed upon."

"Now, it's your turn to make a decision."

Su Ya stared intently at Lin Yuan:

Which university would you like to attend?

"Is it a prestigious university located in the capital, the most resource-rich, and with the deepest historical and cultural heritage?"

"Or is it the war academy located on the western frontier, where conditions are harsh but the opportunities for real combat are the most plentiful?"

Zhao Wuji added, "Lin Yuan, you need to think this through."

"The Imperial Capital University is located in the capital, which is not only safe, but also gathers the best resources in the country."

"There are many scions of prominent families there. If you go, you can build an extremely large network of connections."

"And the treatment we're giving you is absolutely unprecedented."

Su Ya snorted coldly:

"Connections? They're just hothouse flowers."

"The War Academy is located on the western border, right next to the Abyss Battlefield!"

"Though dangerous, it's the cradle of the strong!"

"Lin Yuan, your profession dictates that you need to take beatings and fight."

"That comfortable haven in the capital isn't for you!"

Zhao Wuji retorted, "Nonsense! Doesn't my Imperial Capital Academy send out enough talented people to the Abyss Battlefield every year?"

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, the atmosphere thick with tension.

Lin Yuan remained silent for a moment.

In fact, he had already made his decision long before they arrived, even before the college entrance examination.

He raised his head, his eyes clear and firm, and said without hesitation, "I choose the War Academy."

Although he had expected it, upon hearing this definitive answer, Zhao Wuji still collapsed onto the sofa like a punctured balloon.

"well"

"You really didn't hesitate at all. You're making me lose face, Lin."

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly.

Lin Yuan chuckled and poured Zhao Wuji another cup of tea.

"Teacher Zhao, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Although the universities in the capital are good, they are too comfortable and have too many rules."

Lin Yuan pointed to himself: "As you know, my profession requires as much fighting as possible to become stronger."

"Moreover, the War Academy is directly under the command of the national military."

"I heard that you can enter the Abyss Battlefield earlier there and accumulate battle merits."

"Military achievements are secondary to me."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes:

"The main option is to go to the front lines!"

"Only in life-or-death battles can my talent be brought to its fullest potential."

"And, putting aside everything else..."

"Just based on the support capabilities of my [Knight's Dance] skill."

"Going to the front lines of the Abyss to protect those soldiers who shed blood for their country is probably the best choice for the nation, isn't it?"

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Zhao Wuji and Su Ya both fell silent.

Looking at the eighteen-year-old boy before them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

Countless people are desperate to go to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury.

But he chose the most dangerous border.

"good!"

Su Ya slapped her thigh, a barely concealed smile spreading across her face: "Well said!"
