52: Chapter 51 Xia An Feels Inferior, Awaiting the Arrival of a Fat Sheep 52: Chapter 51 Xia An Feels Inferior, Awaiting the Arrival of a Fat Sheep “This time the reward, it turned out to be an A-level component?”
Xu Gu was shocked and found it hard to believe.
He knew that destroying an Ascension Sect stronghold and killing countless Ascension Sect mutants only earned a C-level component from the Creator System.
It was just an assessment, and they brought out an A-level component?
Not to mention the extra points that could be exchanged for S-level components in the end.
Isn’t this reward a bit too generous?
“Yes,” Xia An replied with firm words, “This time, the A-level component is equivalent to bundling multiple achievement rewards and distributing them together.
“Newbie level achievement, firepower achievement, defensive power achievement, power achievement, and actual combat achievement—a total of five achievements.
Only by dominating the leaderboard with a comprehensive score can one obtain this A-level reward, which is no easy task.
“Precisely because the reward is rich, many S-level Auto Man from the Provincial City or other major cities in Nanhe Province came to participate in the assessment.
“It’s just a way to attract talent.”
Xia An spoke with deep emotions.
She never thought that one day even the small Xia City could be full of S-levels.
It was foreseeable that the process of Xia City upgrading to a major city would create unimaginable opportunities, attracting a large number of Auto Man.
For now, the situation was manageable, and most Auto Men were just observing.
In a little while, Xia City would surely be bustling with activity.
Xu Gu nodded, “That makes sense.”
“Under normal circumstances, taking first place among a group of S-levels to dominate the leaderboard is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
“After all, each S-level represents exceptional strength, especially those from S-Class families or corporates!
Even a province doesn’t have many.
“However, for you, everything would come easily and effortlessly.”
As Xia An spoke, her eyes filled with excitement and admiration, as if she were a fangirl, genuinely so.
She knew Xu Gu’s strength all too well.
In front of Xu Gu, these S-class family members, who were like fledglings, were nothing but paper tigers, easily defeated.
When these S-levels, under the protection of countless bodyguards, were killing steel rats,
Xu Gu was already capable of killing Level 30 War Generals and even Boss-level mutants.
He was much stronger than her, who was an A-level in her 20s!
“This is too insane.”
Xia An realized Xu Gu’s insanity.
Previously, knowing Xu Gu was strong, she didn’t find it too shocking or incomprehensible for him to destroy the Ascension Sect stronghold beneath Medicine King Park.
But now, she suddenly recalled that Xu Gu wasn’t an old Auto Man but a newly awakened one, who had just awakened a few days ago!
“In just a few days, he could kill a suspected Level 30 Boss-level mutant.
What kind of monster is this!”
In her heart, Xia An was uproariously shocked.
Being the Vice Chairman of the Auto Man Association allowed her to know the general situation of Ascension Sect stronghold No.
Or equivalent to an SS-level mutant S-level with top-grade S-level components?”
“The most crucial thing is, he seems to have no background, just an ordinary citizen!”
A thought flashed through Xia An’s mind, leaving her complex and dry-lipped, utterly shocked.
Either possibility was amazing.
SS-level was as rare as a phoenix’s feather, and if Nanhe Province could produce one every year, it would be like burning high incense!
The governor would probably be ecstatic!
“Later, I will compile information about the S-level newcomer Auto Man coming to Xia City and send it to you,” Xia An said.
“Is that appropriate?” Xu Gu’s face lit up with joy.
Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy leads to more profitable gains!
As a civilian, if he wanted to get rich, he could only fleece these rich kids.
“There’s nothing inappropriate,” Xia An said.
Providing a little convenience doesn’t count as much.
Thank you~” Xu Gu did not refuse, nor did he feel embarrassed.
Later, he would offer a heavy thanks.
“No problem, if there’s anything, just communicate directly, no need to be polite with me,” Xia An said happily.
After finishing the communication, Xu Gu’s lips curled slightly.
“A-level component, just entry-level amplification makes it S-level.
I must have this component!”
Thinking of this, Xu Gu looked forward to the arrival of those S-level newcomer Auto Man from the Provincial City’s S-Class families, utterly wealthy beyond compare.
“You little fat sheep from the Provincial City’s S-Class families, don’t disappoint me, and bring more family property.”
One Ren Dongyang was not enough to satisfy him.
Xia An had just finished communication, her face was blushing, her smile sweet, like a little fangirl who had just ended a call with her god.
But amidst her happiness, she looked at herself in the mirror, clearly beautiful, with an impressive figure, yet she sighed.
“I’m just an A-level, with average looks and figure, not comparable to those top-tier goddesses in the nation, and just a Vice Chairman of a small Xia City Auto Man Association…
“Someone like me, how could I match up to Xu Gu…”
As she thought of Xu Gu’s achievements and strength, she, once the proud and courted first goddess of Xia City, couldn’t help but feel inferior.
She became even more anxious.
Her mind was filled with images of Xu Gu performing One Slash to Heaven, slaying countless mechanical monsters and mutants.
Those scenes seemed deeply carved into her heart, impossible to erase.
Perhaps she could never forget them in her life.
She stared at the communication interface, eagerly hoping that the next moment, Xu Gu would message to invite her to dinner.
Following Xu Gu’s instruction to take Xia An to Xu Gu’s for reward, Wang Lanlan noticed Xia An staring dazedly at Xu Gu’s communication account, like an infatuated girl, her mouth twitching.
When did the well-known hardworking career woman, Xia An, decisive and capable in Xia City, become a fangirl?
However, when thinking the other party was Xu Gu, it became understandable.
“Sister, face the reality sooner,” Wang Lanlan patted her on the shoulder, comforting her, “Timing, location, and people, my lord has it all.
“If there were no accidents, all the rewards from Xia City’s series of tasks will end up with my lord.
“Flying high is inevitable.
“He and you are people from two worlds, either harden your heart and follow early, gaining some benefits as an elder,
“Or give up this thought soon, so you don’t get more entangled and hurt yourself.”
Wang Lanlan wanted to say.
He was the daddy you couldn’t have.
But after thinking about it, this daddy wasn’t hers either, it was like the ninety-ninth mocking the hundredth, scolding herself too, so she kept silent.
Xia An closed her eyes, understanding these reasons better than anyone, just that she couldn’t let go of her pride.
Moreover, what’s the point in just following?
It lowers one’s value and hardly earns Xu Gu’s favor and attention—it’s too insignificant.
She opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and said, “I will consider it more.”
“As long as you know what you’re doing,” Wang Lanlan nodded reassuringly.
Just as she was about to tell her about Xu Gu’s plan to reward Xia An.
“Vice Chairman, Ren Dongyang, an S-Level from the Ren family, requests a meeting.”
A servile Auto Man hurried in and whispered.
“Ren Dongyang?” Xia An frowned slightly.
“What’s he here for?” Wang Lanlan became wary, showing a hostile expression.
The feud between Ren Dongyang and Xu Gu was well-known throughout Xia City.
Xia An sent a message to Wang Lanlan, “Probably to find trouble with Xu Gu, right?”
“Then he’s truly found the right person,” Wang Lanlan laughed.
Asking to find trouble with her lord only to end up with her lord’s little fangirl.
Didn’t he know Xu Gu had saved both her and Xia An’s lives and helped them greatly?
Xia An’s lips also curled into a playful smile,
“Yes.” The servant nodded respectfully and hurried out.
“How dare you stop me?
Don’t you know who I am?
“Where’s my sister An?”
Outside, Ren Dongyang yelled angrily.
Today, Zhang Liguan, the manager, requested a meeting with Xia An, but was told she was unavailable, initially intending to schedule for tomorrow.
Naturally, Ren Dongyang was not pleased.
With his status, did he need an appointment to meet Xia An?
