The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Shen Qiubing is also in the special operations team?

After Shen Qiubing left, Lu Yuan sat on the sofa and couldn't help but frown.

The special operations team only recruits elites. If they don't have any other outstanding qualities, they must at least have a third-grade martial vein, while Shen Qiubing is only a first-grade one.

However, to be fair, Lu Yuan is only a first-grade martial vein, at least that's how others see him.

Shen Qiubing's grandfather is Shen Fuyue, a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm and an elder of the Starry Sky Hall. It's not surprising that he arranged for Shen Qiubing to join the Special Operations Team.

Putting all that aside, what really made Lu Yuan frown was Shen Qiubing's invitation.

As a special department of the Starry Sky Club dedicated to training warriors, the Special Operations Team naturally has its own unique operating model.

Lu Yuan thought about it and concluded that it could be summarized in two words: "raising Gu"!

The special operations team can theoretically obtain all the resources of the Star Hall, provided they have enough points.

Whether it's combat skills, potions, or equipment, everything can be redeemed with points.

As for the source of points, it's quite simple: the special operations team can participate in missions of all departments of the club, and points are used to settle accounts based on the value of the mission.

It sounds good, but if it's so mild, how can it unleash the team members' potential? At least that's what Wu Jianming, the team leader, thinks.

Therefore, the team holds a betting competition once a month. Everyone must participate, and they are randomly matched. The stakes are resources such as points, equipment, and potions.

If we lose, a month's worth of effort might be wasted.

Of course, you can also spend all your points before the duel, for example, by exchanging them for combat skills.

However, the team also has a countermeasure: each student is generally only allowed to redeem consumable resources such as potions and combat skills once a month.

Under various restrictions, everyone is forced to train desperately in order to win in the gambling battles.

What else could this be but raising a venomous insect?

Shen Qiubing invited Lu Yuan to do tasks to earn points, which was originally a good thing.

After all, Lu Yuan was new to the club and unfamiliar with its various departments, so he didn't know how to earn points by completing tasks.

The problem now is that Zhou Buyi has escaped and will definitely want to find Lu Yuan to understand what happened back then. Isn't Shen Qiubing deliberately deepening Zhou Buyi's suspicions about Lu Yuan by getting so close to him at this time?

"She's trying to hurt me."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's face grew even more gloomy.

If Shen Qiubing really wanted to help him, there were other ways, such as secretly introducing him to some tasks. There was absolutely no need for Lu Yuan to come with her.

She should have avoided contact with Lu Yuan as much as possible, instead of coming to his residence so openly.

Her actions were quite obvious; she was deliberately trying to deepen Zhou Buyi's suspicions about Lu Yuan.

"Is she still suspicious of me, or is she deliberately seeking revenge?"

Logically speaking, he had already explained things very clearly to Shen Qiubing. If she still had doubts, he should have just investigated directly instead of beating around the bush.

Or perhaps it was because Lu Yuan's actions towards her in the simulation made her resentful, so she deliberately did this to use Zhou Buyi as a tool.

After all, although it's a simulation, it feels completely real, which is tantamount to spiritual blasphemy.

But that doesn't make sense either. If Shen Qiubing hated him, with her status and background, killing Lu Yuan wouldn't be difficult at all. Why would she need to borrow Zhou Buyi's knife?

Moreover, Lu Yuan sensed that Shen Qiubing not only didn't harbor any hostility towards him, but was actually somewhat worried. During their conversation earlier, she had reminded him more than once to be careful of Zhou Buyi.

"What's wrong with this woman...?"

Lu Yuan had a headache; he was completely baffled.

Shen Qiubing's words and actions are completely contradictory.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

Take a deep breath and temporarily ignore Shen Qiubing's contradictory words and actions; the key is how he should protect himself.

Without connections or powerful backers, you can only rely on yourself.

Compared to Zhou Buyi and Shen Fuyue, Lu Yuan is insignificant, but only by improving his own strength as much as possible can he survive in the crisis.

Strength, besides cultivation level, also includes combat skills and external forces such as equipment.

"912!"

Lu Yuan checked his points on his Qiming watch and sighed softly; he was just a little short.

Aside from the 200 points I earned as a newcomer, the rest of these points were earned by stealing from other players during quizzes.

Points can be exchanged for resources, taking combat skills as an example.

The cheapest Yellow-grade item costs 100 points, the medium-grade item costs 300, the high-grade item costs 500, and the best item costs 700!

Meanwhile, Xuan-rank combat skills start at a thousand!

In other words, Lu Yuan needs 1000 points to exchange for a low-grade Xuan-level combat skill.

Fortunately, he was still a little short.

As for Yellow-rank combat skills, Lu Yuan is not considering them at the moment.

After all, you can only exchange for consumable resources once a month, including combat skills, so of course you should prioritize exchanging for high-level combat skills.

"Let's wait a bit."

Less than a hundred points, it should be easy to earn. Shen Qiubing just invited him to do a mission together, so he should be able to collect enough points before the end of the month and then exchange them for a Xuan-level combat skill.

As for equipment, Lu Yuan took out the Dragon-Capturing Gloves he had obtained during the test.

"there is none left."

The mysterious tattoo was scanned, but the mental energy was depleted before the analysis even began.

Previously, analyzing and repairing the Wang family's Meridian Opening Pill had exhausted all my mental energy.

I put the Dragon-Capturing Gloves aside; I need to recover my mental energy first.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then dialed Liang Hongyun's number.

"Sister Hong, are you available tonight?"

……

An hour later, at Cuihu Mansion.

"I hadn't heard from you for several days, and I thought you had forgotten about me."

As the door opened, Liang Hongyun, dressed in a red chiffon nightgown and meticulously made up, looked at Lu Yuan with teary eyes, like a wronged little girl.

"How could that be?"

Lu Yuan's heart softened, and he took Liang Hongyun's hand.

"I've been in the jungle for the past few days and haven't been able to make phone calls."

"jungle!"

Liang Hongyun's expression changed, her eyes filled with worry.

"Those bastards didn't assign you to fieldwork, did they?! I told them I'd arrange it for you, but you wouldn't take it, and now you're in such a dangerous place. No way, I'm going to find someone right now to get you..."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing Liang Hongyun's anxious face, Lu Yuan smiled, feeling touched again, and took Liang Hongyun's hand to enter the room.

The two sat down in the living room, and after a moment, Lu Yuan explained the situation, and Liang Hongyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that the people at the Starry Sky Club have some foresight, arranging for you to join the special operations team."

Reassured, Liang Hongyun nodded slightly again.

The Starry Sky Club is one of the seven major martial arts groups in Chongming Base City. As their key training target, the Special Operations Team is indeed a very good place for Lu Yuan.

At least, Liang Hongyun thought to herself that even if she arranged for Lu Yuan to join the Martial God Alliance, he could only be an ordinary martial artist, not as good as the Starry Sky Club Special Operations Team.

"You must have suffered in the jungle these past few days."

Looking at Lu Yuan's somewhat sunken eye sockets, Liang Hongyun felt a pang of heartache and gently stroked his cheek.

"It's okay, I just miss you."

Lu Yuan took Liang Hongyun's hand, placed it to his lips, and kissed it gently.

"They just want to make me happy."

Liang Hongyun let out a soft hum, but her body went limp and she fell directly into Lu Yuan's arms, whispering a few words.

"Let's go to the bedroom."
