My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 92 Major Upgrade

Lynn got up from the sofa and patted Bruno on the shoulder.

"Let's go eat."

Bruno then realized the meaning behind Karl's words, and his face darkened.

Although Lynn didn't care, to him it was like offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder.

That's why he didn't want to hang out with these top students; they all seemed to be sick in the head.

"Hmph, I actually saved money."

Bruno snorted and walked out.

The two were about to leave.

Carl, standing at the door, frowned upon seeing this.

wrong.

There's no reaction at all.

Shouldn't he get angry and have a big fight with himself?

Carl quickly added in a cold voice, "Lynn, although I don't know why you received a gift from Her Majesty the Queen, I can now be certain that you are indeed of commoner origin."

As an ordinary citizen, how can you be so depraved? Aren't you worried at all?

Carol, who is ranked first in the grade, is also from a commoner background, but he works much harder than I do, and he is about to break through to the second tier.

It's not easy for you, as an ordinary person, to have achieved your current level of strength, and it's even more difficult to get into the academy. I think you should reflect on yourself.

Upon hearing this, Lynn simply turned around and said, "Thank you for your concern."

The door slammed shut.

Karl's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

It's like offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder.

It seems this person isn't worth my attention.

Given his condition, he probably wouldn't be able to truly complete the Thorn Volcano test.

Thorn Volcano serves as the graduation exam for all extraordinary individuals, and it is an extremely rigorous test.

Students not only receive a diploma from the college, but also gain greater opportunities for their future.

Obtaining rare treasures within can significantly enhance one's strength.

After all, the Thorn Volcano was originally set up as a breeding ground for treacherous creatures to win the war.

The best students will receive abundant resources and status, and then go to the front lines to fight and hone their skills.

However, as the nobility gradually became corrupt, the Thorn Volcano gradually turned into a place for mere formalities.

Noble children will never die, and will not even be seriously injured.

Those who were killed or seriously injured all became civilians with no background.

The Thorn Volcano gradually became a tool of monopolistic power.

All graduating commoner students will be selected in advance by various nobles. These selected commoners will not die during the Thorn Volcano test, because they have become the private property of the nobles.

Those commoners who were not selected usually did not choose to graduate, but instead dropped out of school before the assessment.

Of course, many ordinary people do choose to take the risk of participating in the Thorn Volcano test in order to gain a better future.

And most of them eventually died there.

One reason is the extreme environment and bizarre monsters in the Thorn Volcano.

Firstly, because with the alliance of various noble families, trying to compete with them for the rare treasures in the volcano was tantamount to death.

However, those ordinary extraordinary individuals who survive such trials are naturally the strongest among the strong, and the luckiest among the lucky.

Carl shook his head.

It seems they felt sorry for losing an opponent.

Unlike other nobles, his ambitions were not limited to this.

The domestic environment is completely ruined; there is absolutely no possibility of cultivating a top-tier expert.

So his goal was to go to Areca and make a name for himself.

Although the environment in Areca is very wild and unruly, it also gives people the freedom to grow fully.

He has already made preparations for this.

When he participates in the Thorn Volcano, he will show absolutely no mercy to anyone.

He wanted to use the thorny volcano to make himself stronger, and then escape to Areca.

This was an agreement between him and Carroll.

As for the stagnant situation in China, let it be; there's no hope of saving it.

Perhaps when he becomes an unparalleled powerhouse, he can return and remove all these ugly cysts.

But that's a matter for the future.

"So be it. Becoming a strong person... is, after all, a privilege enjoyed by only a few."

Carl stopped worrying about Lynn.

His eyes were filled with determination.

He needs to continue training and break through to the second tier as soon as possible.

Then, in the final competition, he defeated Carroll and became the undisputed number one!

......

The two walked out of the restaurant.

Bruno's belly was round and full.

He patted his belly with satisfaction.

"Burp, it's still more enjoyable to eat with you. We can have one of everything."

Lynn smiled but didn't say anything.

Walking in the night breeze, Bruno felt a pang of melancholy.

"Hey bro, what do you think is the purpose of life?"

Lynn glanced at Bruno, somewhat surprised that he would ask such a question.

"Isn't it for the food?"

Bruno shook his head.

"Eating is just a hobby of mine; of course, I don't live for such superficial things."

"Is it to protect the people and things you care about?"

Bruno stroked his chin and tilted his head.

He somewhat agreed, but still shook his head.

"That's still not right. Everything will eventually disappear. Can you protect something that was destined to disappear? I don't think that's the answer."

Lynn smiled and shook her head.

"According to you, life is meaningless unless you can exist forever and never disappear."

Bruno smiled helplessly.

"That's true. Except for God, who is eternal and immortal, everything else will eventually disappear."

Bruno became somewhat saddened at this point.

"Sigh, if only we could become gods."

Lynn laughed and scolded, "You call yourself a god? I'd say you're more like a god."

Bruno laughed heartily, all his remaining sadness vanishing.

The two continued their leisurely stroll back to campus.

But Lynn still kept that sentence in mind.

"So becoming a god is all it takes...?"

......

Back in the dorm.

Lynn didn't rest; instead, he locked the room and took out the alchemy table.

He carried out the wooden crates one by one.

Carefully package them according to their type.

Lynn decided to refine the low-star potion tonight first.

As for the ten-star potion, I'll wait until tomorrow when [Divine Assistance] refreshes before refining it.

After all, the materials are our own; if we lose money, we lose money.

He still owes Bruno money, so he'd better save some.

As for potions of nine stars and below, he now rarely fails to refine them.

After a series of refining processes.

A row of medicines was laid out on the table.

After today's intense alchemy process, Lynn's mental energy was finally on the verge of exhaustion.

He felt as if his head was filled with mercury.

My body was swaying precariously.

Despite his discomfort, Lynn forced himself to drink the medicine bottle after bottle.

The feeling of growing up returned.
