MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

When Lu Hong returned to the small courtyard in Lan Guifang, Xu Peipei was already standing quietly at the door, waiting. Her official attire had already been replaced with a blue chiffon gown; her fair skin and exquisite makeup unmistakably displayed her status as a top-tier beauty.

However, after witnessing the breathtaking talents of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, Lu Hong was long unmoved by this earthly beauty.

Seeing Lu Hong return, Xu Peipei hurried forward and said, "Master, you're back!"

"Next time, just let me in directly. I think your skills should be capable of that, right?"

Xu Peipei nodded and added, "The Sect Leader has been informed of your hypothesis, and he trusts your judgment. However, persuading Your Majesty requires more deliberation. The Sect Leader hopes you can provide more intelligence about the Fierce Beast, so he can report in detail to get Your Majesty's confidence."

"No need, I'll speak personally. Have your Sect Leader introduce me to your Majesty, I have a trade to discuss with him." Upon returning, Lu Hong had already made up his mind. Relying solely on himself to obtain a large amount of gold and silver would be incredibly difficult, especially now that Gao Yi had left, leaving him without assistance. Therefore, he could only turn his attention to the current ruler of this realm—the Emperor Song Jingzong.

"You want to see Your Majesty?!" Upon hearing, Xu Peipei's expression slightly changed. She didn't know why Lu Hong suddenly wanted to see the Emperor, but felt he had some special intention.

Lu Hong glanced at Xu Peipei's odd expression and said, "Rest assured, I have no interest in your old Emperor, purely want to discuss some business."

"May I ask, Master, what business do you wish to discuss?"

"Gold and silver business."

Upon hearing, Xu Peipei's face turned serious: "You found the Fierce Beast?"

"That's not your concern anymore." Lu Hong continued, "It's getting late, go bring Wang Wang back."

The night passed silently, and the efficiency of the Sect Leader was high; he quickly reported the situation to Emperor Song Jingzong.

And Jingzong, due to the foresight of the Future Eye, decided to meet with Lu Hong.

Thus, the two met in the Imperial Garden in the afternoon.

Looking at the middle-aged figure of Emperor Jingzong ahead, Lu Hong's gaze was indifferent.

Seeing Lu Hong did not salute, the Guard Commander beside Jingzong immediately became furious, shouting: "How dare you! Even external talents must show respect to Our Emperor. You actually disregard etiquette! Kneel down!"

As he spoke, the Guard Commander unleashed a powerful aura towards Lu Hong.

Unfortunately, his strength was too weak to even move a single strand of Lu Hong's hair.

Lu Hong glanced at that Guard Commander, and in an instant, endless killing intent locked onto him.

The Guard Commander felt as though he plunged into a sea of corpses and blood; the fear of death made his legs tremble, causing him to fall to the ground uncontrollably.

Seeing the peculiar behavior of the Guard Commander beside him, Emperor Jingzong frowned and then scolded: "Get out quickly! Shameful fool!"

Jingzong's voice carried a peculiar power, pulling the Guard Commander out of the illusion of killing intent.

At this moment, the Guard Commander had the sensation of narrowly escaping death, immediately too afraid to glance at Lu Hong again, saluted Jingzong, and fled the Imperial Garden in panic.

With the Guard Commander's departure, the Imperial Garden had only Lu Hong and Emperor Jingzong remaining.

"Apologies, poor management, now you can laugh." At this moment, Jingzong had no imperial demeanor, picked up the prepared liquor on the garden stone table, and poured it for Lu Hong.

To this, Lu Hong internally chuckled; if he had been overwhelmed by the Guard Commander's aura, their conversation now wouldn't be like this.

Knocked back the drink pushed by Jingzong, Lu Hong tilted his head to finish it, then said, "I am Lu Hong, not a person of the Great Song."

"I know." Song Jingzong nodded: "And Sect Leader Wang also told me, he said you will be the key to changing the decline of my Great Song."

"Hmm?" Lu Hong was curious but didn't ask further, instead said, "If you agree to my trade, indeed, that statement isn't incorrect."

This piqued Jingzong's interest: "Lu Hong, speak on, how do you intend to trade with my Great Song?"

"I can teach your Great Song more exquisite Cultivation Methods, as well as battle guidance, enhancing your Great Song's overall strength tenfold. But in exchange, you must provide me with all the gold and silver of the Great Song."

"All the gold and silver?" Song Jingzong frowned slightly. Gold and silver were the lifeblood of Great Song's economy. If all given away, how would the dynasty function?

But the conditions proposed by Lu Hong were extremely enticing, placing Jingzong in a dilemma, then said, "Your offer is truly tempting, but your demand is excessive; if you give a specific amount, perhaps I can consider."

"It must be all, and considering your Great Song gold and silver, it might still fall short of my needs. I won't hide it from you, the Fierce Beast that stole your Official Silver is severely injured, and I have some connection to it, hence I want to save it."

Seeing Lu Hong's frankness, a flicker of intrigue flashed in Song Jingzong's eyes, then he said, "If you can truly revolutionize the entire cultivator power of my Great Song, I am also willing to change the national economic model."

Honestly, if gold and silver as currency ceased to exist, is it important? Not really; in a unified nation, what to use as circulating currency is up to them to decide, although changing it involves unspoken difficulties and interests.

But if it genuinely can exchange for immense power, such troubles, Song Jingzong is willing to bear.

"I can." Lu Hong tossed out a densely written Cultivation Technique he wrote last night, placing it in front of Song Jingzong.

"This is a very special profession among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds—Warrior. It has three pathways, each corresponding to extremely formidable career endpoints, and once transitioning into this profession, becomes the greatest killing tool on the battlefield. Warrior, born for combat, not inferior to any current profession under All Heavens, even able to surpass others through refined mastery."

Seeing the detailed annotations of the Warrior profession Lu Hong threw over, Song Jingzong was visibly excited.

This is a complete career initiation path, different from the low-level Skills exchanged from external families in the past; it's a genuine complete career system!

Of course, recorded are only the meditation methods of the Warrior's First Transition, several Skill introductions; more could not be penned in one night's time, and writing is just for demonstration. True teaching, Lu Hong plans to instruct personally, writing things down is cumbersome.

After thoroughly going through the booklet, Song Jingzong's eyes gleamed with intensity, saying to Lu Hong: "Lu Hong, you really intend to trade this career path with my Great Song?"

"Yes, from First Transition to Heavenly God, a complete path, I can swear to provide without reservation. But if you truly wish to become Warriors, an additional cost is required."

Upon hearing, Song Jingzong frowned slightly: "What cost?!"

"Belief in the War God, belief in the creator of this profession. Only in this way will the War God bless you from afar, allowing you to become Warriors more fittingly, mastering Fighting Spirit."

"Good!" What kind of cost is this, Song Jingzong immediately agreed at once: "When will you hand over all the content of this Warrior profession, Lu Hong?"

"I'm too lazy to write; your Great Song can choose several renowned talents, I can personally teach them to learn, grasp all the characteristics of the Warrior profession, Cultivation Methods, various Skills, when they've noted it down, then have them write it."

"Good!" Naturally, Song Jingzong wouldn't refuse, only a fool would refuse.

"And what about the gold and silver I need?"

"Lu Hong, give me a few months, and I will prepare it."

This, Lu Hong also understood, after all, changing the circulating currency of a realm indeed requires substantial time.

"If any obstacles arise in between, you may inform me, and I'll help solve them." Having said this, Lu Hong got up to leave.

"Lu Hong!"

At this moment, Song Jingzong called out: "If you really urgently need money, there might be another way that can quickly help you acquire a large amount of gold and silver."
