I never upgrade

Chapter 49 begins the process of recruiting people.

...

Xu Lun's actions caused a huge mess for everyone present, but the staff of the Administration Bureau who saw it on TV were amused.

"I give this display of cool a perfect score!"

Bai Ye took his martini from the dazed Station Master Huang, then raised his glass in a toast to the television.

Station Master Huang stared at the television, completely stunned, unaware that Bai Ye had taken his wine glass away.

Han Xinwan, who had been worried for Xu Lun, now showed a rare smile, unlike her tense and serious demeanor just now.

"That's really interesting..."

Suddenly, she raised her hand, snapped her fingers, and said with great interest:

"Boss, give me a glass of almond liqueur, with ice and stirred."

Startled by her shout, Station Master Huang snapped out of his daze, his face turning green instantly.

What the hell? Were you calling me just now?

I'm the station chief of the 661st Cosmic Monitoring Station, not a bartender! Besides, this isn't a bar!

However, the next second, Director Chen also raised his hand, took off his glasses with his other hand, and said while rubbing his eyes:

"Could I have a glass of that too? I'd like absinthe, no ice."

This person didn't even bother to look up.

"you..."

Station Master Huang's face instantly turned from green to purple, and he looked like he was suffocating and about to collapse!

Good heavens, I'm just speechless!

During work hours, the boss openly led the way in drinking. Am I being too conservative, or has the bureau changed the rules?

...

Xu Lun was naturally unaware of what was happening at the transit station.

At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the cloud leopard named Luca.

Although he already knew that it was seriously injured, Xu Lun did not realize how serious the problem was until he had the opportunity to observe it up close.

Luca was crippled by the villagers with sticks, leaving few visible wounds on his body; most of his injuries were internal.

The healing technique that Xu Lun possesses is merely an introductory skill within life magic. It is highly effective in treating external injuries, and it can handle internal injuries such as bone fractures without issue.

However, Luca's internal injuries were severe, with multiple fractures and internal organ damage. Xu Lun was unsure whether his current level of magic was sufficient to fully repair the other party's battered body from the inside out.

We had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

Xu Lun took a deep breath, and the skill book in his mind was already open, with the [Healing Spell] activated.

He then looked down at the bracelet and saw that the small section of the bracelet, which looked like it was made of jade, was gradually emitting a faint green light.

Soon, he felt a cool sensation filling his palm and moving through his fingertips.

So Xu Lun bent down, squatted beside Luca, extended his left hand, spread his fingers, and gently touched the other's body—

The healing energy that had been gathered in his palm was automatically transferred to Luca the moment they made contact.

Xu Lun held his breath and focused all his attention on casting the healing spell. He could feel the bracelet continuously providing him with energy, and he then transferred all of this energy to Luca through finger contact.

As for whether it can fully recover its damaged bones and internal organs, Xu Lun is not sure yet.

at the same time.

Above the dungeon, Zhou Bo crouched down, poked his head out, and tried to get as close as possible to look down.

Although he couldn't see Xu Lun's bracelet with the naked eye, nor could he sense the healing energy flowing through the other's hand, he could vaguely feel a peculiar aura emanating from Xu Lun, just like the aura that Xu Lun emitted when he was repairing his own wounds.

Zhou Bo was startled:

Could it be that he's healing this cloud leopard? His technique can not only heal himself, but also treat the wounds of others?

Wu Lao, Zhou Shimei, and other villagers gradually gathered around.

They all looked into the dungeon and saw Xu Lun squatting beside the beast, his hand on its body, but after watching for a while, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Zhou Shimei couldn't help herself and asked in a low voice:

"Senior brother, what exactly does this person want?"

Zhou Bo simply made a shushing gesture, said nothing, and gave her a look that suggested she should calm down.

Seeing this, Zhou Shimei stopped disturbing them and quietly watched from the side.

Meanwhile, Old Wu stood silently, watching the Cloud Leopard in the dungeon without saying a word.

The thatched hut was quiet.

Everyone seemed to be silenced, not making a sound, and countless curious eyes were focused on Xu Lun and the cloud leopard.

...

At the same time.

Yundu is a thousand miles away from Zulu Village.

On a precipitous mountain peak, clouds and mist swirled, and the air was bitterly cold.

Amidst the clouds and mist, a magnificent building can be vaguely seen, towering atop the mountain peak.

This is the residence of the Lord of Yundu City.

Even in the dead of night, the mansion was brightly lit, and even the pavilions and corridors in the outer courtyards were covered with lanterns.

Bathed in the glow of the lights, the entire city lord's mansion appeared even more magnificent and resplendent.

At the entrance of the mansion stands a tall archway, like a heavenly gate guarding the majesty and power of the city lord's mansion.

The plaque above bears three large characters:

[Zhou Prince's Mansion]

At this moment, a figure appeared, breaking through the clouds and flying down from the night sky. Just before reaching the archway, it descended rapidly and finally landed in front of the archway.

The newcomer was a robust middle-aged man. His turquoise robes indicated that he was of high status, and the two pairs of large brown wings on his back proved that he was a highly skilled cultivator. Indeed, this man had two pairs of wings, a total of four wings, which made him more than one level stronger than Zhou Bo and the others who only had one pair of wings.

Even so, upon arriving at the city lord's mansion, according to the rules, he had to obediently fold his four wings, walk through the archway, and enter the mansion.

The man did not stop, but quickly passed under the archway, followed the corridor leading into the mansion, climbed the stairs all the way up, and finally entered the front hall of the city lord's mansion.

"His Majesty..."

Upon entering the hall, the man immediately bowed.

In the main hall of the front palace, there was only one person standing alone. He was dressed in a light green robe, similar to the one worn by the newcomer, but he also wore a magnificent white cloak with gold trim, which made him look even more noble.

This is the master of the Zhou Prince's Mansion, the city lord of Yundu.

"Manager Zhou..."

The city lord slowly turned around and glanced at the newcomer.

"How is it? What did the academy say?"

The visitor, referred to as "Chief Steward Zhou," immediately reported:

"It has been verified. Among the people who went out for training with your daughter, there is a young man named Zhang Yuan, who is in the same grade as her, and another named Zhou Bo, who is a few years older and whose current strength is around the mid-stage of the Thunder Pattern Realm."
