Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 51

Noticing Li Rui’s bored expression, Coach Chen Bin decided to tease him.

“By the way, the national championship prize is a free lifetime VIP membership. If you actually do win, you can eat HaiDiLao for free every day!”

He didn’t think that the bored Li Rui would immediately brighten up after hearing this news!

“Free? For life?”

“Yep, you can eat till they’re broke.”

“Coach, I must win this championship! Then, are there any other competitions that are sponsored by Food and Beverage corporations? Will they reward us with lifetime free memberships as well?”

Li Rui was dancing around with excitement with his fist waving everywhere in the air.

“Of course, there are competitions that are sponsored by KFC, McDonald’s, and other similar fast-food chains, but their main focus is in North America and they don’t play a big role here in China. Therefore, most of their participants would be weaker. That’s why I did not sign you up for these competitions.”

Looking at the excited Li Rui, Chen Bin was baffled.

He really wanted the memberships?

That thing is just a gimmick. How much can one person eat? So what even if I lent you ten stomachs?

Those international Food and Beverage corporates wouldn’t even care if you had a big stomach.

Plus, time was a very important thing for those who trained in martial arts so who would actually have the time to go around eating? And all of these were fast food…

This was the typical scheme: you may have gained something, but I’m definitely not going to make a loss out of this!

Those corporates are best at coming up with all these schemes!

“Oh… is that so…”

Li Rui hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still gave up on the daring plans that he initially had in mind.

The schedule that the coach had arranged for him was already very packed and he still had to clean garbage at night which meant that he wouldn’t have the time to join two extra competitions.

Hm… looks like he can only have HaiDiLao after this…

Li Rui shook his head as he felt like he had suffered a major loss.

As he walked out of the coach’s office, Li Rui noticed that there was a huge commotion out in the training ground.

They could no longer focus on the training as everyone was excited about the season that was about to start soon!

“Captain, why was Coach looking for you?”

Luo Li smiled and came forward while holding on to Li Rui’s arm.

“Nothing much, he was just going through the competitions for tomorrow.”

Li Rui felt his scalp turning numb while looking at her angelic smile.

He could still remember the feeling of her warm, moist tongue lingering across his neck this morning.

I really don’t want to become an ingredient for duck soup…

He quickly changed the topic and moved her arm away.

“Luo Li, what’s your national ranking now?”

“1392. My goal this year is to be in the top one thousand! Then, I’ll enter into the global ranking next year!”

Luo Li clenched onto her fist as she cheered for herself.

A thousand three hundred. With Luo Li’s ranking, Li Rui had a rough idea about his own placing.

Those whose rank higher than Luo Li must be extremely powerful Transcendents!

As he thought about it, Li Rui couldn’t help but secretly slap himself.

The ability of these Transcendents wasn’t as mysterious as he had imagined!

But if you thought about it from another angle, the country had the responsibility of educating its younger generation which also means that almost all the Transcendents would have gone to school.

And a few thousand Transcendents among millions of high schoolers would be a normal thing.

Li Rui shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He looked at Luo Li and said, “Come, let’s have a match.”

“Sure! I’m not afraid of you!”

Luo Li raised her eyebrows and gave him a challenging look.

However, about ten minutes later, a broken handle was thrown in front of Li Rui. Luo Li gave him a kick before leaving the ring.

“I’m leaving! I don’t like this!”

Li Rui was not in the mood to comfort her. He sat in a corner and opened his attribute bar.

“You have defeated a hero, you have been rewarded with 22 EXP.”

“Daily mission complete, you gained 20 EXP.”

“You have leveled up!”

Level 5!

The system showed him the skills that he could upgrade and Li Rui chose to upgrade his runes without any hesitation.

Although he already had all of the runes from the Resolve series, he could continue upgrading them.

But Li Rui simply looked through and exited the interface. Then, he looked at the rune in a cerulean blue color which was transparent like ice.

[Inspiration]: Outwit mere mortals

A mysterious glow was floating around the rune which was completely different from the boring grey color that meant it could not be selected.

Finally!

He could finally select the runes from the support series!

But just as he was about to select it, he paused.

He took a look at the few gold income items in his equipment column and his eyes narrowed.

“Status, why don’t the gold income items have an adding gold coin attribute?”

This was also the reason why he hadn’t chosen the gold income items. A gold income item with no attribute of adding gold coins was totally useless!

“The formation of gold coins from the accumulation of virtual energy can only be done in the Gold-tier. Beginner gold income items cannot provide additional gold coins.”

“Then, [Kleptomancy] from the inspiration series does not have the ability to steal gold coins?”

“Incorrect. You can still steal gold coins, but you will need Runeterra to activate [Inspiration]. As for now, the host is unable to activate the runes in this series.”

“F**k…”

At this moment, Li Rui noticed the annotation below the word [Inspiration].

[Items created before completing Runeterra will be a distortion of the rules]

F**k. This meant that he could never touch the inspiration series for now. Li Rui hesitated for a moment and then looked at a rune that was in a maroon color that was in the shape of a trident.

[Domination]: Hunt and Eliminate Prey

Energy like fresh blood was indefinitely flowing around the rune with a breathing rhythm.

He could select this!

Li Rui was filled with excitement and selected it!

Chiang~

At the moment when Li Rui clicked on the icon, the runes enlarged and there was a mysterious force that came from the void and poured into his soul.

There was a smell of metal and blood that lingered around him and the maroon color energy slowly flowed into Li Rui’s body.

The first row of runes in the Domination series appeared in front of him.

Electrocute, Predator, Dark Harvest, Hail of Blades?

These were the beginner runes?

Having such a surprise being placed in front of him, he selected [Dark Harvest] without any hesitation.

[Dark Harvest](Level 1)

(Active) Once a hero’s HP has been damaged to lower than 50%, an adaptive damage will start and the hero’s soul can be reaped, increasing the permanent damage attack of Dark Harvest by 1 point.

Dark Harvest basic damage: 40 points + damage growth.

Cooldown time is 24 hours (This will be reset 1.5 seconds after the kill)

Sh*t this is a killer skill!

No wonder it was known as the skill with the ability to hunt for gods!

The more he discovered, the damage caused got even more confusing.

Because of the time constraints in the game, the power of these runes were not as crazy, but when placed in the real world, these runes had unlimited potential which was the most terrifying bug!

One must be reminded that the damage from [Dark Harvest] could also be added to other skills.

Cho’Gath’s ULT [Feast] can already ignore the actual damage due to its double resistance, and if he were to add on the damage from [Dark Harvest], it would mean that this was pure bullying!

Although the chicken was tasty, beef had 5 times more nutrients!

Just as Li Rui was indulged in his own illusions, a wind drifted across his ear.

He reflexively lifted up his hand and subconsciously grabbed onto the arrow with a rubber head.
