First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Flexing his arm, feeling how cool the thing was, he followed up on Yan Feifan’s words:

“No worries, conflict, huh? It’ll be resolved. When I get time, I’ll go kill his old man too.”

Since the grudge was formed.

And the guy wasn’t even from the Great Han.

Then Lu Ding would see it through to the end.

To prevent that so-called general from stirring up any messy nonsense later.

Only someone like Lu Ding could say and do something like that.

Yan Feifan chimed in with emotional support.

His eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands!“This arm armor is a perfect match for you, Brother Lu!!!”

“They say a good horse deserves a good saddle. With you using it, it’s not being wasted.”

“This pile of meat was a typical low-grade horse—not worthy of such a fine item.”

Lu Ding withdrew his spiritual energy. With a thought, the arm armor turned back into a block in his hand.

The never-before-used [Power to Command Weapons] quietly activated.

The block slowly fused into his body.

【Power to Command Weapons: All weapons under heaven can be wielded at will, naturally and instinctively.】

What Yan Feifan said sounded nice—but it was also true.

Giving this to Du Yongchun had been a complete waste.

He couldn’t even bring out one-tenth of its power.

But in Lu Ding’s hands, it was total unleashing.

Whether it was the massive spiritual energy or life force needed to sustain “it,”

Lu Ding could provide it all.

One White Snake Scale-Shake could handle everything.

Delivering both death and treasure—what a thoughtful gift.

“Let’s go, time to head back.”

Lu Ding walked out.

Yan Feifan picked up Du Yongchun’s head and pulled out his phone to send a voice message: “Clear the scene.”

After wrapping that up, the two returned to Yunhai 749.

With Yan Feifan around,

Lu Ding didn’t need to worry about a thing.

Reports, the PPT he mentioned—Yan Feifan took care of it all.

Lu Ding just had to cultivate.

Ensure his combat power stayed in a state of rapid growth.

To maintain an information advantage over the outside world.

When others still thought he was just at Divine Palace Seventh Layer.

Who would expect that Lu Ding came back this time aiming to break through to Divine Palace Ninth Layer—or even reach Si Ming?

In his single dorm.

Yan Feifan went to his own dorm to write the report.

Lu Ding was lounging on the sofa, phone in hand, checking the 749 App’s treasure inventory.

If the entire Divine Palace Realm was a measuring cup.

And each layer a marking—

Then Lu Ding was currently at Divine Palace Seventh Layer, one step into Eighth.

Moving into the eighth was easy.

What he wanted was to jump straight to the ninth.

Complete the Dragon Gate, supplement other Divine Palace structures, enter the ultimate state of Divine Palace, glimpse his true Si Ming form.

And then try to ride the momentum of heaven’s blessings to leap directly into Si Ming, skipping layers.

At that point, no matter what other countries’ genius freaks the Monster Room sent out, they still wouldn’t escape Lu Ding’s grasp.

The so-called contemporary elites from other nations were at most Linghai Ninth Layer—some “ant-tier” realm.

Even if you call them exceptionally gifted, at best they’d reach Divine Palace within a year.

Forget that Lu Ding could slay Si Ming with just Divine Palace cultivation—

Even just the realm difference alone was enough to crush them.

If anyone dared, let some genius try to beat him across realms.

Otherwise, all those Baby Cups, Monster Rooms, brutal clashes—

All Lu Ding could see was rivers of blood.

But to jump realms, he had to max out Divine Palace Ninth Layer first.

To meet that requirement.

Ordinary heaven-sent treasures wouldn’t cut it.

So, Lu Ding decided to go big.

Right on his phone, he set the filter to show only items above 1,000 contribution points.

He was ready to empty his wallet again.

1,000 contribution points was the dividing line.

Only above that would you find the truly good stuff.

And even then, there weren’t many.

To purchase them, qualification verification was required.

If he were in another division, it might actually be hard for him to buy.

But lucky for him—he was in Yunhai.

Qualification check, live verification.

Lu Ding turned on his camera, stated his name: “Formal Investigator of Yunhai 749, Lu Ding.”

It passed in a second.

Click—smooth as butter.

The phone screen pulled open.

【Lin’er Ginseng】

【Price: 1,085 Contribution Points】

【Where there are mountains, life sprouts. Where there are forests, spiritual essence gathers. Condensed in the form of a childlike ginseng, its medicinal power is immense.......】

【Passing Grass】

【Price: 1,200 Contribution Points】

【Weeds hold no spirit, but when the Earth Dragon stirs, it gains sentience. Traveling from east to west, a thousand miles a day, crossing mountains, chasing the sun—cleanses apertures, tempers a thousand tendons....】

【Millennium White】

【Price: 1,500 Contribution Points】

【In a mountain of spirit, morning dew gathers from top to bottom, condensing in deep valleys, formed over a thousand years.....】

Lu Ding scrolled down.

His eyes landed on the Millennium White.

He glanced at his account balance.

They weren’t leaving him a single cent.

No matter—this was the one. Money’s a b*stard, you can always make more.

Clicked “Buy,” waiting for internal dispatch.

During the wait, Lu Ding browsed the bureau forum.

His return post, just uploaded by Yan Feifan, was already trending at the top.

He glanced over the comments.

All said: “Handsome.”

Lu Ding sighed: “Sigh......”

But the curve of his lips rose and wouldn’t drop.

Who doesn’t like being told they’re good-looking?

Lu Ding was a simple guy.

Enjoys praise, wears nice clothes, lives in a good place, eats well.

Totally human.

He had his own views.

What, just because you’re capable, you should live miserably and get nitpicked?

Then what’s the point of being capable?

Sounds good? Damn right I like hearing it!

Say more, hahaha.......

Meanwhile.

In the advanced training grounds, all the trainees had assembled.

Today was the day they set off for “Scouting Winds, Slaying Dragons.”

According to past tradition.

The students would usually be all smiles—they were finally getting out of this cursed place.

They were modern folks.

Trapped in this godforsaken spot under lockdown, no phones—nobody could stand it.

But this year was different.

Everyone’s faces were serious—they’d all been shaken by Lu Ding and Bai Hemen.

Though they knew they couldn’t compare to Lu Ding or Bai Hemen.

The thought that while they were still training here, those two had already gone out slaying dragons and even come back...

Left a bad taste in their hearts.

No comparison, no damage.

They now gave it their all.

The instructor stood in front, speaking.

“Teams of two are already assigned, and you have your missions. I won’t say much—just one thing: good luck.”

“Dismissed!”

At the order, all the trainees walked toward the helipad in unison.

In the crowd.

Zhu Yixuan and Wen Ruchu walked side by side.

They were teammates—and no, it wasn’t up to you to choose. Pairings were assigned by the instructors.

Zhu Yixuan stayed silent for a while before saying: “Can we hit Luoyao City first? I want to pick up a blade.”
