Su Mo waited in Mr. Wang's office for half an hour before he saw Wang Defa walk in with a spring in his step.
If you knew, you'd think Wang Defa was just happy his student, Su Mo, soloed the Goblin Dungeon. If you didn't, you'd think he'd won 10 million in the lottery.
In the office, Wang Defa casually sat down, took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit it, and said excitedly:
"Tell me, what kind of weapon do you want? I'll satisfy you today as a teacher!"
"Mr. Wang, there's no rush. I just wanted to ask if this matter will really be reported to the entire school."
Mr. Wang took a deep drag on his cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and smiled: "What, you don't want it?"
Su Mo: "Not really, it's just that wouldn't it be too showy?"
"Hey, kid, from your face earlier, I almost thought you really didn't want it.
But if you have the strength, you should show it off. If you don't, how will others know you have it?
And so what if you show off? In a few days, you'll graduate, and your juniors will only look up to your departing figure.
With your current achievements, I don't know if there will be anyone to come after, but definitely none before.
Soloing a level three Bronze Broos Dungeon with a level seven skill will definitely leave a legend for future juniors."
Su Mo nodded: "Since Mr. Wang puts it that way, I feel relieved."
Mr. Wang chuckled: "If you continue to perform so impressively, you might make it into our school's history,
or even get written into textbooks nationwide.
All right, let's discuss your weapon. Although you awakened a defensive ability, I don't know why you have such a strong Strength Attribute.
But don't worry, everyone has their secrets, and I won't pursue yours.
Moreover, in today's times, things are more open. Even if you reveal your secrets, no one would dare openly make a move against you.
But if you choose not to say, I won't force it. Just remember, the Human Race will always be your strongest backer."
Su Mo remained silent and didn't engage, mainly because his Absolute Defense was too extraordinary.
If he revealed it, he'd definitely be fought over to join teams, then used as a shield.
But with his Heart of Slaughter, he didn't want that.
Su Mo skipped that topic and said, "Actually, regarding a weapon, I just want you to help upgrade my Guan Saber to be more formidable, heavier, and if it could grow with my level, that would be perfect."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang nearly choked on his cigarette: "Kid, you got some wild dreams. A growth-level weapon? Why don't you just ask for a Divine Artifact?"
"Actually, a Divine Artifact would be fine too, mainly worried you wouldn't be able to provide it."
[Pfft~]
Wang Defa nearly flicked the cigarette at Su Mo's head but stopped, thinking his own promotion and pay raise depended on this lad, and said with a reluctant tone:
"I can't get a Divine Artifact, but I can get you a growth-level weapon. What's going through your head,
don't be so unrealistic. I can decide to make it heavier, increase its hardness, and modify its appearance. How heavy do you want it?"
Su Mo pondered, considering his Strength Attribute. Previously, with 6 Attribute points, he could lift a 100-pound heavy saber with some strain.
Now, with 65 Strength Attribute points, lifting 1000 pounds is no problem.
But this current 1000 pounds is just his strength now. After running the Goblin Dungeon a few more times, it'd be nothing. He felt a bit unsatisfied.
He figured he might need to hint a bit about his capability.
After thinking, Su Mo said, "Teacher, my Strength Attribute increases rapidly!"
Wang Defa was indifferent to this and replied calmly: "How fast? Five points per level isn't enough? Even ten points would push the limits.
While your current Strength Attribute is strong, it only had explosive growth during awakening,
to get stronger afterwards, it's a gradual leveling process. How about this, I'll have it made at 1000 pounds for you, enough until you reach level 10 and can switch to a more advanced weapon."
Su Mo was about to explain when suddenly there was a loud bang from outside the window.
[Bang!]
The glass shattered as Mr. Wang the security guard flew in.
Mr. Wang entered confidently, cast a glance at Mr. Wang, and then looked at Su Mo:
"Don't mind him, kid. You want a weapon? If you top the national college entrance exam, I'll get you a no-level weapon."
Mr. Wang looked at the shattered glass in his office, annoyed and said:
"Old man, what's with this madness? There's a door, why the need to come through a window!"
But to Mr. Wang's complaint, Mr. Wang the security guard didn't even turn his head and said: "In school, address my position, call me Principal!"
Hearing this, Su Mo wasn't too surprised, figuring a Gold-level expert couldn't truly be just a school security guard.
But what excited him more was the promise of a no-level weapon.
No-level weapons are considered a type of growth-level weapon.
Though like those capable of growing with owners and without level restrictions,
they have a downside: their abilities are fixed.
For example, Bronze weapons always have one weapon skill, Silver has two, Gold gets three, and so on.
Growth-type weapons not only grow with the user, but also allow for customizable weapon skills, making them truly valuable.
Seeing Su Mo's smiling expression, the Principal chuckled: "You don't really think with your current skills, you can easily secure the top spot nationally, do you?"
Hearing this, Su Mo was slightly taken aback.
With his level three skills and 65 Strength Attribute, could there really be someone stronger than him nationwide?
The Principal looked at Su Mo earnestly:
"You all are ordinary students, only awakened for three days, but many from powerful families have been awakening since age six.
In a few days, you'll see a bunch of unfamiliar faces joining our school and registering for the exam.
Among them, the weakest are over level 20 Bronze, and stronger ones even have Silver-level strength. Do you still have confidence now?
Of course, if you do top the exam, you won't just get the no-level weapon I promised,
but also ample top-student rewards, and the privilege to make a request to Beiqing University.
But only regular students like you have this privilege, those from powerful families with early awakenings aren't eligible.
How about it, kid? Do you still have confidence now!"
