When Chen Lun walked out of the gate of Byron Golden Pavilion with a white cane, Melanie behind him had a seductive look on her face as if she had just experienced something, and she saw him out with great respect.
Before leaving, he handed over an exquisite card inlaid with gold and diamonds with both hands, indicating that this was the highest standard of identity proof in Byron Golden Pavilion. If you come again in the future, you only need to show it, and you can be exempted from any handling fees for deposits or withdrawals. There are also more than a dozen preferential offers for financial investment or other projects. Even the most basic reception and other services are handled by dedicated personnel.
In a word, just two words: noble.
However, Chen Lun didn't care about these at all. He just threw the gold card into the Blood Poetry Ring and ignored it.
On the dashboard, his personal assets included 200,000 gold pounds and 1.3 million blue gamblers, which were the currency that he had exchanged for the energy crystals just now... In fact, the exact number was still more than a thousand short, but Melanie made the decision and rounded it up.
To be honest, these more than one thousand blue gamblers are actually not a small amount. In the Kingdom of Byron, it is enough to buy several shops or even two manors. It can be seen that the female head of the Golden Pavilion is still very sincere.
Of the 200,000 gold pounds, 100,000 were earned from selling potions during this period... Chen Lun curled his lips. If he had known that energy crystals could be exchanged in the Byron Kingdom, he would not have been an arms dealer.
He was already a big boss who owned two mines, but he was still struggling to do business, even tinkering with potion jars to earn the hard-earned money of players...
He couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
"If you need money in the future, just come to Byron Kingdom to get it. This is my little treasury..."
Chen Lun thought calmly.
"Teacher, where are we going next?"
Sunny Xiaoyu followed the gentleman in the black hat happily and asked in a low voice.
"Have a meal and then go straight to St. Byron's College."
Chen Lun said without turning his head.
"Great! I've eaten a lot of food from the Empire, but I've only tasted Chidi ham and Byron cold soup from the Kingdom of Byron... I'm really looking forward to it!"
Sunny Day and Little Rain seemed to be in high spirits.
Polaris glanced secretly at the panel. He had more than a thousand gold pounds accumulated on it. He had never been willing to spend them, and he had not exchanged them for blue gamblers in the vault just now.
Based on his understanding of the teacher, he might not help pay the bill later. If they go to a high-end restaurant, he might lose his wallet.
Twenty minutes later.
Polaris looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but gasp.
Star tomato bluefin sandwich, grilled artichokes with caviar, fish belly stewed in red wine, fish balls, Iasi octopus, seafood rice…
"Teacher, don't you want to eat?"
Sunny and Xiaoyu both mumbled with bulging mouths.
The gentleman sitting across from the table had already put his hat aside and was quietly gazing at the scenery through the French window. When asked, he turned around, glanced at the dishes on the table, and smiled and shook his head.
"You guys eat, after being promoted to a high position, I no longer need to eat..."
"oh oh."
Qingtian Xiaoyu nodded as if she understood, then grabbed a lobster and started to eat it.
Polaris glanced at the bill on the table with a twitching eye. It clearly said "29 Blue Gabor 35 Red Keshi"... He used all the math knowledge he had learned from twelve years of compulsory education to convert it into real-life credit points. It would cost about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, enough for him and his grandmother to eat and drink well for a week.
The frugal nature he had developed since childhood made him feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Beizi, you eat too."
Qingtian Xiaoyu deftly picked up two meatballs and put them on Polaris's plate, saying with a smile.
"Um...thank you."
Polaris took a deep breath, suppressed the guilt of extravagance, and finally picked up the cutlery and started eating.
After a moment.
After the two of them had eaten, Chen Lun called the waiter and took out a small bag of blueberry and handed it to them.
"It's more tips."
Chen Lun said casually.
The waiter took it and counted it briefly.
The blue pound in his hand was the size of a bottle cap and was blue all over. It did not look like gold, but more like a rare metal that was a fusion of magical materials. It was also very different in style from the gold pound, and made crisp and pleasant tinkling sounds when they collided with each other.
The waiter soon discovered that there were thirty blue coin coins in the small bag. He couldn't help but feel delighted. After deducting the cost of this table, he could get an extra 45 red coins, which was equivalent to more than one month's salary for him!
"Thank you, generous sir."
The waiter bowed and thanked him quickly.
Chen Lun just waved his hand, stood up and left.
He glanced at Polaris's secretly relieved expression and couldn't help but find it funny. If it were in the past, he might really have used the excuse of "training" to let Polaris, his "senior brother", pay for it, but there was no need now.
Money doesn't seem to mean much to him anymore...
Chen Lun had an indescribable feeling of emptiness.

In the city center, three kilometers away from TusPark, there is a very large college area spanning two blocks. This is where St. Byron's College is located.
Chen Lun walked straight in with Polaris and Qingtian Xiaoyu.
The students here come and go in a hurry. It is rare to see couples walking together. More are young people gathered together, having heated discussions. There are even quite a few middle-aged and even elderly people who are also wearing student uniforms and studying here.
This shows the strong academic atmosphere.
Chen Lun didn't need to ask for directions. He just silently recited the words "Academic Affairs Center" in his mind, and the ivory white cane began to guide him on its own.
He seemed like an old man who had been in St. Byron's College for more than ten years. He walked around several flower beds and squares like he knew them all and went straight into a retro building.
I climbed up the stairs and found the office in the lobby on the second floor.
"Sorry, this year's enrollment period ended the day before yesterday. If you need to enroll in St. Byron's, please come back in early October next year..."
A middle-aged woman wearing glasses was busy with the documents in her hands, flipping through them very quickly. She just looked up and glanced at the gentleman in the black hat and the two young people, a man and a woman, behind him, and then continued to stamp with her head down.
"I am not an enrolled student, Ms. Reina."
Chen Lun glanced at the nameplate on the other person's chest and smiled politely.
"Um?"
The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and paused her movements.
"So what can I do for you?"
Chen Lun didn't waste any time and directly handed over the two letters.
"Please forward this to the senior management of your college. This is a letter of recommendation... I am here to apply for the position of professor."
"Professor...you?"
Reina was stunned and her voice became louder.
Even the staff at other desks in the hall heard the noise and looked over curiously. Seeing the young appearance of the gentleman in the black hat, they all thought it was a bit ridiculous.
At St. Byron's College, not to mention professors, even ordinary lecturers are basically in their forties or fifties, and these are big figures who have achieved impressive achievements in various fields.
No matter how you look at it, the gentleman in front of you is too young... But no one dared to question it out loud. After all, St. Byron's College is a cradle of geniuses, and there are examples of young and knowledgeable people.
Chen Lun actually adjusted his appearance and deliberately restrained his own charm with the power of myth. Otherwise, with a charm value of 105 points, all ordinary people present would be confused when they saw him, and even become his fanatical believers.
"I'm sorry, sir... Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Reina said hesitantly.
"Age is not a caliper for knowledge, is it?"
Chen Lun was not annoyed, he just chuckled.
He pointed to the letter in the other person's hand and said:
"Please give the two letters to Principal Hugo. He will understand."
"Um... okay."
Perhaps thanks to Chen Lun's elegant conversation and his perfect face, Lena finally agreed with some hesitation.
"You three can sit on the sofa for a while."
Having said that, she stood up and left with the letter.
Chen Lun motioned the two students to follow him, and then sat down on the sofa calmly.
The staff in the hall quickly looked away. Although they were curious about the man in the black hat, they were more focused on the work at hand.
Not even a moment.
Two well-dressed middle-aged people, a man and a woman, hurried over. The sound of their footsteps even startled the staff in the hall.
"Mr. Jack, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
The middle-aged man's eyes were immediately fixed on the gentleman in the black hat. Feeling a little nervous, he strode forward.
"My name is Stanley, and I'm the vice-president of St. Byron's College. This is Julie, the dean of studies..."
After he introduced himself and the woman beside him, he did not extend his hand, but instead touched his chest respectfully in greeting.
Reina came breathlessly behind and was quite shocked when she saw this scene. She immediately realized that what the young man said was true... and his identity was even more noble than she had imagined.
"You're welcome, Mr. Stanley, Ms. Julie."
Chen Lun said with a chuckle.
He saw through the strength of the two people in front of him at a glance.
Stanley and Julie were both magic-sequence five engravers with extremely deep mystical accumulations. Theoretically, they were only one step away from reaching a high position.
But the saint's ritual, high-level materials and anchor points are all indispensable, and the two of them have probably been stuck at this step for many years.
"Have you read the letter, Principal Hugo? Do you agree with my appointment?"
Chen Lun asked aloud.
"Um, I'm sorry, Principal Hugo is going to Miracle Academy for exchanges these two days and is not in the academy for the time being... But Julie and I have read the letter and reported the matter to her, and Principal Hugo agreed."
Vice Principal Stanley said quickly.
He adjusted his thick glasses, glanced at the many staff members around him who were quietly paying attention to the place, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Jack, please follow me."
"Um."
Chen Lun nodded slightly, followed the two of them out of the hall, went up to the fifth floor, and entered a conference room with excellent sound insulation.
Once inside, Stanley and Julie saluted again.
"Your Majesty, Principal Hugo asked me to tell you that the great scholar Sulaya and the magician Carmen have already explained the situation in their letter. Since you intend to use the knowledge of Saint Byron College to study high-level power, it is an honor for the college, but..."
Stanley said, hesitantly.
"If you have any conditions, just tell me directly."
Chen Lun said in a calm tone.
"Principal Hugo hopes that you can offer private lessons and teach individual students."
Julie, the head teacher with her brown hair tied up in a bun, spoke softly.
Seeing Chen Lun's puzzled expression, Ms. Julie explained:
"St. Byron's College has a nine-year system regardless of major, and students who fail the exams will not be admitted to the next level... Often, many students are in their 30s or 40s, or even older, and are still stuck in the ninth grade."
She paused.
"These are just ordinary subjects. As for the mysticism, it is usually only open to students after graduation. They need to work as assistant lecturers or professors for several years and accumulate enough college points before they are eligible to be examined... As for the private lessons of the mysticism professor, they are very personal and are specially responsible for accepting students with special identities and status."
Julie showed a respectful look and said cautiously:
"Most of the thirty-four professors in St. Byron's College offer private lessons, but your Majesty's situation is even more different. Although Principal Hugo and the other four board members are high-ranking officials, only Principal Hugo stays in school to teach... She hopes that you can also leave some legacy as a glorious mark of St. Byron's College."
"Um… "
Chen Lun pretended to be silent.
