"What? Level 5?"
Everyone around was completely stunned and shocked, as if they were looking at a monster!
"Are all of us at level 1, right?"
"Level 5 in one day, this has already broken the record of Xia City! And it's a crushing victory!"
"Ten years ago, that legendary S-rank figure had a dozen bodyguards with him, and without equipping any accessories, he only reached level 3 in one day! And even he became a garrison commander who watches over a region!"
"The higher the level, the harder it is to advance!"
"This... this is too ridiculous!"
The scene was boiling with noise and clamor.
Some Mechanical Men, even began to envy the entire world.
"He's too strong! What a mighty person! Not only is he talented, but freaking hardworking too, what can we even compare with?"
"No! This is impossible! He clearly went deep into the wilderness, how did he not get killed by the Beast Tide, but instead leveled up to 5!"
The two A-rank individuals, Wang Lishuo and Zhang Chao, who had always seen Xu Gu as their imaginary rival, went pale, their brains buzzing and the world seemed to spin around them.
If it was just the rank difference between A-level and S-level, they both felt that they could surpass it as long as they worked hard.
But now Xu Gu has reached level 5, and he is fully equipped with accessories!
The gap between them and Xu Gu suddenly went from that of a common mountain peak to Mount Everest, to that between a firefly and the sun!
You know, after becoming a Mechanical Man, a single step ahead means you are ahead at every step! As long as you maintain it, even in the Imperial Capital Academy, facing a horde of S-ranks, you can still hold a level advantage and gain a massive tilt in resources!
"Level 5?" Xu Gu was stunned for a moment but did not deny it.
Although he had already reached level 8, a miracle in Nanhe Province.
But what's the point of showing off in front of these people?
Upon receiving this news, the female Mechanical Men looked at Xu Gu with eyes filled with adoration.
Just looking at Xu Gu's towering figure filled them with excitement.
They could hardly wait to kneel and lick right there.
In a post-apocalyptic world, the strong are that popular.
"A level 5 in one day, his potential is definitely no worse than that of SS-level!" Lin Liu's eyes shimmered with excitement and determination, she actually stepped forward, knelt on one knee with utmost humility, and said to Xu Gu:
"Lord Xu Gu, may I serve as your Car Servant?"
"Wow!"
The scene was once again in an uproar.
Everyone was astounded.
Apart from commoners, Mechanical Men can certainly serve as Car Servants for other Mechanical Men, but, while the title of Car Servant sounds nice, it's not much different from the slaves of ancient times!
They belong to the property of the owner of the vehicle!
It's absolutely impossible for a Mechanical Man to willingly serve as a Car Servant for another Mechanical Man.
Especially someone like Lin Liu, a woman so beautiful, with a strong background and immense talents.
And her kneeling suddenly triggered tears from men and silence from women. Lin Liu was a well-known beauty in the city, the dream lover of countless young Mechanical Men.
A woman they could not win even if they groveled.
Yet, she was now kneeling in front of Xu Gu so humbly, begging Xu Gu to take her as a Car Servant.
Wang Lishuo and Zhang Chao were grinding their rear molars to dust, their foreheads pulsing with veins, wishing they could roar up to the heavens. How is this fair!
Why!
The newly awakened female Mechanical students were all envious, envious that Lin Liu had the qualification to become Xu Gu's Car Servant.
They wanted to as well!
A genius of S-rank who reached level 5 in one day, with potential not far off from an SS-rank, the future achievements would be limitless!
To become his Car Servant would be their good fortune!
Plus, he's really handsome!
Xu Gu was taken aback again, unable to believe that this formerly proud and aloof ice queen would pull such a stunt.
You know, he hasn't shown too much of his monstrous strength in front of everyone.
In everyone's eyes, he should just be a tougher-than-average S-rank, not an invincible SSS-rank.
At this moment, Xu Gu was still unaware of what representing a Mechanical Man at S-rank who achieved level 5 in one day meant to everyone.
Xu Gu quickly got over it.
Some people, when they confess their feelings and get rejected, would hate for a lifetime and become angry, while others become even more desperate, the more unattainable something is, the more they want it!
Lin Liu was probably the latter.
But, he did not lack Car Servants. A mere B Rank, indeed, did not match his SSS Rank status.
After all, even the highly renowned members of the Demon Hunting Team were kneeling and begging to become his underlings.
"I'm sorry, you're a good car." Xu Gu said with a smile as he helped Lin Liu up, and said again.
"Hiss..."
"Rejected again?"
"Twice, not thrice! That's too much! If you don't want her, give her to me! I want her!"
The scene instantly turned into utter chaos.
Hearing these familiar words, Lin Liu's pretty face turned pale, and she almost fainted, feeling as if the sky was falling.
She gave up all her pride, and in the end, all she got was a very familiar, I'm sorry, you're a good car?
Xu Gu did not give everyone much time to be shocked, and turned to leave.
He glanced at the city walls as high as mountains, lightly leaped, the thrusters on his back ejected high-energy, high-pressure flames, and he jumped directly to the middle of the wall, stepped on it to gain leverage and leaped to the top of the wall.
Leaving everyone stunned in place.
This flashy maneuver stunned everyone.
And on the high wall, Xu Gu shook his head slightly and sighed, "Not being able to fly is indeed troublesome."
"Wait!"
Just as Xu Gu was about to leave, Lin Liu chased after him and said hastily:
"Lord Xu Gu, I have inherited a primary military factory that can produce a large number of F Rank, and even E Rank components!
"The Mechanical Abyss that descended upon Xia City this time, its Lord has already fallen, making it extremely easy to develop! This is an opportunity!
"If the factory can be moved to Xia City, it will surely seize unimaginable wealth!"
However, Xu Gu had already left.
Her words only made many people on the scene gasp.
Being able to produce a large number of F Rank, and even E Rank components?
You should know that in the Creation Mall even the most basic F Rank components could sell for hundreds of points each!
They all knew what this meant—it meant a continuous stream of money!
Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Lin Liu hurriedly sent Xu Gu a private message.
Xu Gu, who had left, noticed this private message and was slightly stunned.
A primary military factory?
It was said that the technical threshold was extremely high, and even Xia City itself was not capable of building a component factory!
If this worked out, it would be easy to make millions of points in profit a year!
Xu Gu's lips curled up, and he sent a private message:
"Prepare a bit when you return.
"Materials of the factory, and a series of development plans, and many other documents confirming your full ownership, get everything organized and send me a copy.
"If it satisfies me, I may accept you as a Car Servant."
On the other side, Lin Liu, who was biting her lip and fearing another rejection, saw this message and instantly relaxed, her face revealing a smile, very excited and thrilled, and quickly replied: "Okay~ Master!"
Her actions immediately made countless male peers beside her turn pale with hearts nearly dying.
They envied Xu Gu even more.
Damn it! His talents are already that good! Why is he still so lucky! Not only did he get the school beauty as a Car Servant, but he also obtained a primary military factory!
Absolutely infuriating!
This news spread quickly.
Almost the entire Xia City was discussing it.
Meanwhile, Xu Gu returned to his Star Sky Manor with utmost composure.
Before he even had time to check his gains from the trip, the Vice Chairman of the Mechanical Man Association, and the Goddess in the hearts of countless Mechanical Men and ordinary people in Xia City, the beautiful Xia An, took the initiative to send him a private message wanting to have dinner with him.
Xu Gu grinned, it seems, having too much charm is also a trouble.
