Chapter 92: 90, [Star Skill: Swamp] [Star Skill: Earth Shattering]

The meal concluded with Lu Lin agreeing to Hu Nan’s request, making it a joyous occasion for both host and guest.

The Star Guides from Double Name City added Lu Lin to their communications. Then, one by one, they left, boarding high-speed trains this very night to guide Star Skills at their next destinations.

The people from Green City were also preparing to take their leave, only to be stopped by Lu Lin.

"President Guan, wait a moment."

"What is it, Lu Lin?" Guan Yue was curious.

She knew that Lu Lin was returning to Green City the day after tomorrow for his Promotion Banquet.

That’s why they were saying their goodbyes here.

"President Guan, could you stop by my room tonight?" Lu Lin asked, somewhat embarrassed.

Guan Yue was the highest-ranking Star Guide he could currently access.

If he missed this opportunity, he would board the starship and proceed to study at Alien Star University.

By then, he wouldn’t know when he would have the opportunity to awaken Earth Element Star Skills.

Having already missed two opportunities to comprehend Star Skills (one at Zero Level Peak and the other at the First Level early stage), Lu Lin didn’t want to miss out again.

The point of cultivation and advancement was to gain more Star Skills.

On hearing Lu Lin’s words, Guan Yue instantly blushed.

Though the night temperature in Mingze City had dropped to five degrees Celsius, Guan Yue felt as if she were under a blazing sun.

Her body warmed up, her face flushed, and her legs clenched unnaturally.

Had she finally witnessed the silver lining after all this time? Did this dense Lu Lin finally understand her feelings for him? But, wouldn’t this be too sudden?

Guan Yue usually only fantasized about being in a relationship with Lu Lin. But when this fantasy seemed to be materializing, and at such a rapid pace, she found it somewhat hard to accept...

"Lu Lin, don’t you think this is too abrupt?" Guan Yue asked, her expression conflicted as she lowered her head.

She never thought she would one day use such a tone when speaking to a man.

Everyone knew that Guan Yue was notoriously stern and composed during her university years. After assuming the role of president of the Green City Star Guide Division, despite her adept social skills, she had always adhered to her principles and had never behaved improperly.

Furthermore, her father Guan Pingchao ran a Martial Arts Hall, and her grandfather was a Star Core Warrior who had been active on an Alien Star for several years. Whether common people or Martial Artists, nobody would dare to offend her casually.

"Abrupt?" Lu Lin was taken aback. He was about to leave; if he didn’t get his Star Skill guided now, it would be too late.

"President Guan, this isn’t abrupt. You know that I’m planning to go to the Alien Star after my Promotion Banquet."

"If I don’t seize this opportunity, I will regret it in the future."

Seeing Lu Lin’s determined and eager gaze, Guan Yue also felt his urgency and...desire.

But she was still a girl...

No, no, no... Guan Yue, what are you thinking? Lu Lin isn’t that kind of person; he’ll definitely be considerate... Guan Yue, oh Guan Yue... you’re not some easy girl... you can’t just eagerly agree because a man invited you... You should at least make him wait a little, right?

Under the warm yellow light, Lu Lin could clearly sense that Guan Yue was getting rather hot.

"President Guan, is something wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"If it’s not convenient this time, then I’ll just have to wait until I get back to Green City..."

"Stop!" Guan Yue hurriedly cut Lu Lin off. She lowered her head and said in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, "Lu Lin, don’t go looking for those... those other women... Never mind. Anyway, in that case, I..."

"Never mind. Since you... need this, then I’ll agree."

"Later, send me your room number. And... prepare whatever you need to," Guan Yue finished, then turned and ran off.

Looking at Guan Yue’s retreating figure, Lu Lin felt rather puzzled.

What’s wrong with President Guan? It’s just Star Skill Guidance. Why does anything need to be prepared? Could she need a Cultivation Room, or a Star Power Recovery Potion?

Lu Lin took the elevator to the front desk on the first floor. After asking around, he found that the Mingze Hotel was no match for the large chain hotels on Blue Star; it didn’t provide Cultivation Rooms.

With no other choice, Lu Lin returned to his room and counted his stock of Star Power Recovery Potions in his backpack. There were twelve bottles, all securely wrapped in bubble wrap.

It seemed like he would have to use one of them this time.

「9:45 PM.」

Guan Yue’s palms were sweaty as she arrived at Lu Lin’s door, dressed in a clean white shirt and black trousers.

She had struggled for a long time deciding what to wear. But as soon as she opened her suitcase—Right, no point in agonizing over it anymore.

She usually only wore casual suits on business trips and hadn’t brought any other style of clothes this time.

To run out and buy something new at this hour would seem too deliberate.

Perhaps she should just stick to her usual attire.

Besides, she remembered her dorm mates from university saying... this ’office lady’ look might be exactly what Lu Lin likes.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...

Guan Yue’s heart was pounding at least 120 times per minute. She glanced left and right down the deserted hotel corridor, waiting for Lu Lin to open the door.

"President Guan, you’re here! Come in, come in, I’ve already prepared everything," Lu Lin said as he opened the door and ushered her into the room.

"President Guan, take a look. Will one bottle of Star Power Potion be enough for your recovery?"

???

Guan Yue was completely confused.

「Half an hour later,」

Guan Yue, face burning with embarrassment, slipped out of Lu Lin’s room and scurried back to her own like a thief.

If there had been a high-speed rail service leaving Mingze at this hour, she would definitely have fled the city under the cover of night.

In his room, Lu Lin opened his eyes, a satisfied expression on his face.

Seeing Guan Yue had already left, he wasn’t sure what to say.

He had felt that President Guan was a bit strange tonight... hmm, strangely attractive.

Lu Lin shook his head. What am I thinking?

President Guan is exceptionally beautiful and comes from a good family. She’s also a Third Level Star Martial and a Senior Star Guidance Master. She could find any kind of boyfriend she wanted; why would she be interested in a fledgling like me? I should focus on the two new Star Skills I gained today.

Better to check out the two Star Skills he had acquired... yes.

[Star Skill: Swamp]

[Introduction: Consume Star Power to create a swamp, trapping enemies within (Active Skill)]

[Remark: Don’t come over! And don’t leave! Just stand still for your Lord!]

[Star Skill: Earth Shattering]

[Introduction: Your attacks can easily shatter the hardest rock (Active Skill)]

[Remark: Brother! Heard you’re pretty hard-headed!]

The two Star Skills he gained this time were both active skills, making Lu Lin truly admire Guan Yue’s guiding ability.

Swamp was a typical crowd-control Star Skill.

As a qualified Earth Warrior, protecting his teammates was his undeniable duty.

Preventing enemies from approaching his teammates was also an excellent tactic.

Of course, that was assuming his enemy wasn’t a ranged class.

Earth Shattering was an offensive Star Skill, which also addressed Lu Lin’s previous shortcomings when facing the artist.

If he had possessed the Earth Shattering Star Skill back then, he could have easily hammered the artist to death while he wasn’t paying attention.

Lu Lin, of course, couldn’t experiment with these two Star Skills in the hotel.

Seeing it was still early, he left the hotel alone and walked for more than three kilometers before finding a relatively secluded patch of wasteland.

"Swamp!"
