My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 119 - 98: I’m Not Even an Adult Yet!

Ding Xuezhu was at a loss for words to describe the shock in her heart!

Her fair chin slightly raised, she stared blankly at the tall young man in front of her for a full five seconds before she snapped out of it.

"...You, you can understand the Ancient Demon Race script?" she asked tremblingly, her voice filled with excitement.

This Magic Rune Stone Tablet was an ancient artifact collected by this branch of the Blessed Treasure Pavilion years ago. Although it can’t yet be called the "treasure of the shop," it’s still very precious.

The information inscribed had long been decrypted by archaeology experts.

So she knew very well that Lu Xun’s response just now was completely correct, word by word, fully analyzed without a single omission, and it only took him a few minutes.

He not only understood this extremely abstract ancient demon language but was also exceptionally skilled.

The words spoken by Ding Xuezhu were not a question, but an expression of amazement.

All previous doubts vanished into thin air at this moment.

The ancient demon language is not meant to be "seen," but rather to be "felt" through the heart, built upon a vast reservoir of historical knowledge.

It requires comprehension!

If you can’t grasp it, it means your accumulation is insufficient and you need more depth.

Even if your knowledge is adequate but you still can’t understand it, it means you lack the talent, and no amount of depth will help.

How formidable is the position of a scholar proficient in the ancient demon language within the realm of history?

The answer is: A position untouchable even with a daily salary of fifty million.

’Damn, I just stumbled upon a treasure!’ Even someone as composed and graceful as her couldn’t help but curse inwardly at this moment.

"Young ma... ahem, young sir, may I ask for your distinguished name?" she took a deep breath, her eyes burning as she stared at the young man before her.

"No need for formalities; my surname is Lu, Lu Xun." he answered truthfully.

In the past, the reason to act elegantly was due to his weak capabilities; he could easily become a target under the spotlight when his reputation skyrocketed.

An extraordinary genius, envied and hated, celebrated yet easily targeted for demise.

If someone were to aim a silenced handgun at Lu Xun, would he dare to move? Absolutely not!

If unable to protect himself or his family, he could only keep a low profile, hiding his talents, and gradually developing.

But times have changed. He is now a powerful being at Lord Level 6.

The first and second Great Sword Heroes of Jinghai City were both defeated by him.

In this Second-level Self-looping City, he now fully possesses the strength to protect himself.

In the scholarly field, there’s no longer a need to tread carefully, hiding his brilliance like before.

Lu Xun’s outstanding academic performance amazed everyone from elementary to high school, leaving all teachers and students in awe, but was there any issue? None at all.

Though not quite comparable, "archaeology genius" attracts more attention, but he is stronger now, able to handle greater fame and prestige.

This title of genius, his strength can now support it.

Just right, taking this opportunity to make a name for himself.

Next month, upon turning of age, he’ll make a name for himself as an "archaeology expert," accumulate enough contribution points, elevate to the elite class, move his entire family to the Inner City District, where his uncle will also recover and be reborn, transferring Xie Manyu to Noble High School, and the whole family will live a good life!

This is Lu Xun’s plan.

Of course, his path of evolution still needs to avoid drawing attention, and he cannot expose his ability to project the Ten Thousand Races.

For now, start from the "scholar" aspect.

Utilize the persona of a feeble bookworm to cover his super muscle bully form capable of tearing mechas apart! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Apologies, young sir Lu Xun, I was blind and underestimated your skills earlier." Her voice was gentle as she bowed to Lu Xun in apology, the tailored cheongsam outlining her perfect figure.

"I’m not mad, no need to apologize." Lu Xun extended his hand to help her up, calmly saying, "So, did I pass your assessment?"

"Of course! Having an outstanding appraiser like you join is an honor for our shop." She nodded.

"When will you arrange work for me then?" Lu Xun cleared his throat and asked:

"I’m not picky about salary, but I am someone who loves to work and hope to start soon. The four old masters are quite elderly, and I can’t bear to see them working so hard. Leave all artifact assessments to me; the more, the better. Especially ancient biological remains and fossils, those are my specialty."

Ding Xuezhu: "..."

The other party’s rapid-fire chatter left her speechless.

Goodness, he’s not in it for the money, but for the work?

Alright, he’s a young man, it’s normal.

Unlike corporate veterans who’ve been around for years, who’d slack off whenever possible rather than work!

"Later, I’ll take you to the personnel department to handle the necessary procedures. After that, you can start working whenever you wish. A monthly salary of 120,000... that’s the base, extra will be paid for field assignments, does this work for you?" she sincerely inquired.

Lu Xun nodded. Just the base salary was 120,000, which was very generous.

But actually, the vast majority of appraisers in the world only hit the peak of their careers after the age of 40.

This is a profession that requires slow accumulation of archaeological experience, knowledge, and seniority over time until one can achieve great success later in life.

Like those four very competent old gentlemen, who have studied their entire lives and are archeology masters, but even they can make appraisal errors.

Let alone the young people.

Very few talents can earn a monthly salary of 120,000 while they’re still young.

Lu Xun was very satisfied with the salary, but he was more interested in another benefit that Ding Xuezhu mentioned—

"Foreign missions?" he asked curiously, "Are they also appraisal work?"

"The Antique Trading House is just one of the many businesses of our Blessed Treasure Pavilion." She patiently explained, "The main businesses are ancient relic excavations and rift pioneering missions..."

Two minutes later, Lu Xun understood.

The background of this Treasure Pavilion was incredibly large, with connections in the State Assembly, and even the Human Alliance Council.

They spend money to contract ancient relics and newly emerged Rift Worlds, then conduct excavations and pioneering.

Thereafter, they sell mineral resources, rare metals, special energy, and biological materials to various global powers... Their business spans the globe.

Rift sources around the Self-looping City and ancient relics on the territories of various states are all monopolized by the Human Federation and off-limits to private parties.

But rifts and relics are scattered worldwide, not belonging to the Human Federation.

Many Otherworld races are not "technology side"; either they’re not particularly interested in these things or lack the strength to develop them, so they simply contract them out to outsiders to handle.

Lu Xun was very surprised at how strong this private company’s capabilities were and how low-key they were.

Probably many people in Jinghai City don’t know that this "Antique Trading House" is also dealing with energy...

Lu Xun realized that the thigh he was holding onto... was incredibly thick.

Foreign missions carry some risk, but participation is voluntary.

"Young sir, to be honest, our Treasure Pavilion is planning to go to the distant Naga territory to conduct an underwater relic excavation,"

Ding Xuezhu took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and spoke frankly.

She extended her fair, flawless hand and very sincerely invited him:

"We are in need of an archaeology expert fluent in Ancient Demon Language, and I would like to invite you to join this foreign mission. Please don’t refuse... hmm, 50 million daily, would that be okay with you."

"Underwater relics? 50 million... daily? No refusal! Absolutely no refusal!"

Lu Xun gasped, quickly stepped forward to shake her hand, and asked:

"When does it start? Tonight? Or tomorrow? Surely not the day after tomorrow?"

Underwater ancient relics!

Such a place is like a goldmine, a holy land for Lu Xun.

How many Trait Points could he earn from one trip? He didn’t dare to imagine.

Dutch doesn’t even qualify as a unit of measurement!

He had thought before about going to relics to earn Trait Points, but had no avenues and nowhere to start.

Now with someone leading the way, how could he possibly refuse?!

And the daily wage of 50 million... this is not dirty money, but legitimate legal income that can be spent with peace of mind!

Lu Xun’s eyes blazed with intensity.

Ding Xuezhu had no doubt that, even if she said to leave in an hour, he would follow without hesitation... not even bothering to pack his luggage.

She couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a slight smile, saying:

"Why so eager? It starts next month, don’t worry. The headquarters places great importance on this project and went to great lengths to contract it from the Naga Race, so it can’t be canceled. Once the time comes, we’ll depart immediately."

"That’s good!" Lu Xun nodded, only a month, he can wait.

By then, his uncle will have recovered, and he’ll be unencumbered, ready to venture out.

"Yes, let’s go, young sir, come with me. I’ll take you to sign the contract,"

Ding Xuezhu said.

"Okay... huh? A contract?"

Lu Xun was suddenly taken aback, realizing something—

Darn, I’m underage!

No way I can sign a damn contract.
