Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

She was already overwhelmed just being a branch leader of the Knights of Rauwanpu, so her father, as the leader of one of the three major knight orders in the capital, must have been under immense pressure.

Even so, he was only a short distance away from being seven steps away.

Although she was somewhat discouraged, she still believed in herself that she could do it. After all, she was still young, and as she gradually became more familiar with the various matters of the Knights, she gradually regained her confidence.

Until he met Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu's repeated terrifying performances made her fully understand what her father meant when he said, "There are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

Honestly, Luo Xiu's courage, personal strength, and strategies for uniting others were all things she couldn't do at all.

The gap was so large that she naturally gave up the idea of ​​becoming a Star Seed.

She now feels that only a monster like Luo Xiu should be a Star Seed.

So she had a new idea: to recruit Luo Xiu as a star seed for her father.

In this way, even if she herself is not a Starseed, she can eventually become the one who discovers the Starseed.

But after she finished explaining the various benefits of the Star Seed, she noticed that Luo Xiu's expression was somewhat hesitant, and even the interest in his eyes had diminished considerably.

"Lord Moberland, I would like to ask, if one becomes a Star Seed, will one be able to fight monsters more often?"

Luo Xiu asked softly.

"No need, Lord Luo Xiu. The Star Seed will receive the best resources. As for killing demons, that's a complete waste of time."

Moberland answered instinctively, thinking that Luo Xiu probably didn't want to live this kind of life of constant high-intensity danger from monsters after becoming a Star Seed.

Luo Xiu's next words startled her:

"What if I absolutely have to fight monsters?"

"Do we really have to go and fight monsters?"

She hesitated for a moment before saying:

"We may need to consult Father's opinion on this at that time. After all, as you know, the resources we have invested in you are an unimaginable astronomical figure, so we must do our best to ensure your safety."

"I see."

Luo Xiu smiled slightly:

"I must decline your invitation, Lord Moberland. Perhaps I do not possess the talent to become a Starseed."

"why?"

Mo Bolan's eyes widened; he hadn't expected Luo Xiu to refuse.

Luo Xiu smiled and shook his head, offering no further reply.

His reason for refusing was not entirely because Moberland said he couldn't kill the monster, but more because of Moberland's statement that "father's opinion needs to be consulted."

This is where his concern lies. When you join a new place and enjoy the resources that are given to you for free, you naturally have to take on the corresponding responsibilities and be subject to the constraints of others, which is perfectly reasonable.

But he just didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others.

And most importantly, he was in a hurry.

The dream he had every night reminded him that he didn't have much time left.

Seeing that Luo Xiu was unwilling to explain the reason, Mo Bolan spoke up somewhat anxiously:

"Lord Luo Xiu, I hope you will reconsider."

"Your current strength is indeed outstanding, even slightly stronger than two or three other star species I have seen. However, this gap will soon be closed or even surpassed due to the inequality of resources."

"In about twenty days, the triennial Sea Festival will be held in Rauwanpu. At that time, all the star species will come to Rauwanpu to compete for the blessing of the sea god."

"They must have been working overtime to utilize the resources provided by their power during this period. If you miss the blessing of the sea god, you will definitely regret it."

Haiqing? The blessing of the sea god?

Luo Xiu blinked.

I've never heard anyone mention this holiday before.

What exactly is this so-called blessing of the sea god?

Seeing Luo Xiu's appearance, Mo Bolan seemed more confident in persuading him. He clenched his fist and said:

"You see, this is the gap caused by unequal access to resources and information. You probably don't even know who Haiqing is, do you?"

"I really don't know much about this, please go ahead."

Luo Xiu didn't pretend; if he didn't know, he simply didn't know. Besides, with Mo Bolan in front of him offering to explain for free, he was naturally more than happy to accept.

"Sea Festival was originally a triennial celebration in Rovaniemi, where people would give thanks for the bounty of the sea and express their gratitude to it with gifts."

"When the residents of Rovanpu reach a certain level of gratitude towards the sea, they can awaken the remaining divinity of the sea god through a special ritual."

"The Sea God will choose the genius he favors most and bestow his blessing upon him. If you are just entering the fifth rank, you can instantly reach the perfection of the fifth rank. If you are just entering the sixth rank, you can complete one-third of the journey in the sixth rank."

"Unfortunately, because the Haiqing ceremony was held quite frequently, the remaining divinity of the sea god in Luowangpu has gradually diminished over the years and is no longer abundant. Therefore, decades ago, at the suggestion of a mysterious being, the Haiqing ceremony was temporarily suspended and sealed."

"Once the divinity of the sea god naturally absorbs the magic power between heaven and earth to grow, the sea will be opened again, and this opening time will be in about twenty days this year."

Mo Bolan finished speaking in one breath, looking at Luo Xiu with some panting, hoping that what he said would move Luo Xiu.

The temptation of instantly transforming from a fifth-tier to a perfect fifth-tier is something virtually no one could resist.

As expected, Luo Xiu nodded:

"Then we definitely have to attend such a grand event."

It has been proven through the consumption of some rare and precious items that other methods can also add points, and as long as it can add points, it is naturally something that cannot be missed.

Just when Mo Bolan thought Luo Xiu would agree, Luo Xiu unexpectedly changed the subject:

"However, I don't think I can become a starseed."

"why?"

Moberland was somewhat devastated.

She didn't understand why Luo Xiu rejected her. Was it really just because she said she couldn't let him fight with demons?

Is fighting monsters really that important?

Seeing Mo Bolan's expression, Luo Xiu felt a little embarrassed, after all, Mo Bolan had brought him so much information, so he changed the subject and said:

"Although I will not become a Starseed, Lord Moberland, would you like to invest in me, as a personal investment?"

"Me? Invest?"

Mo Bolan unconsciously swallowed, which was very unladylike, but she couldn't help it. What Luo Xiu said was simply unbelievable.

“I do not have the money or resources to invest in a single star seed, Lord Luo Xiu.”

She gave a helpless, bitter smile, feeling that Luo Xiu was making fun of her.

"No, no, no, it's not a resource, nor is it money."

Luo Xiu shook his head and said slowly:

"It's information."

"As you said, I am indeed a bit out of touch with information, and I think you might be able to help me in this regard."

When Mo Bolan mentioned Haiqing, Luo Xiu agreed with one of her points: he was lacking in information.

I need a reliable source of information.

Ideally, they should come from a large place like the capital, and have a high enough status.

Of course, Hup doesn't count.

He's a complete simpleton.

"information……"

After listening to Luo Xiu's words, Mo Bolan murmured, seemingly somewhat tempted, but in the end, she firmly shook her head:

"I'm sorry, Lord Luo Xiu, but I cannot provide you with the information. We, the [Mad Lion], have our own Star Seed quota. Even if you don't agree, we will definitely find a Star Seed. I cannot create an opponent for him."

Mo Bolan's gaze was resolute. This wasn't because she wanted to lure Luo Xiu into joining her with information, but rather because it reflected her true thoughts.

As the only daughter of the leader of one of the three great knightly orders in the capital, she grew up in the knightly order and naturally developed a strong character. She would never betray the interests of the knightly order for her own selfish gain.

After saying that, she looked at Luo Xiu, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said:

"It seems our cooperation is not going to work out, Lord Luo Xiu. However, I still hope to become your friend."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave without looking back.

But before she had taken more than a few steps, Luo Xiu's voice slowly sounded behind her, causing her to pause in her tracks:

“Your Excellency Moberland, I am really unwilling to give up such an excellent source of information as you. How about we discuss another deal?”

"Under no circumstances will I allow you to threaten the future of our [Mad Lion] star species, Lord Luo Xiu."

Moberland spoke softly, without turning around.

But the next second, her expression changed in surprise.

"Even if you are the future star of your [Mad Lion] clan, you still wouldn't be willing to make such a deal?"

A heavy leave notice

An unexpected situation occurred today. At 10:10 pm, I was packing up my lab bench to go home and write when my boss suddenly arrived.

Having held meetings for four days, he was clearly very concerned about the progress of each of us, and he took the opportunity to give feedback to every senior student who was still present.

It was already eleven o'clock when I walked out of the laboratory.

Even though I have 1000 words saved up during my lunch break, and even though I'm a working-class genius, my writing skills aren't up to par.

I didn't finish coding it in the end.

I repent for why I had to sleep for forty minutes during my lunch break, and why I couldn't just sleep for twenty minutes.

I'm so annoyed. Why couldn't I have stayed up until 3 a.m. last night and written another 500 words?

I... am a real idiot.

Having said all that, I'd like to ask for a day off now. Can you please not scold me?
