Liu Tianyuan didn't linger long at Lin Ye's place, not even interested in small talk. After discussing some important matters, he left directly.

With Liu Tianyuan's departure, Lin Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he strongly believed that Liu Tianyuan had no ill intentions towards him, facing such a person inevitably brought an invisible pressure.

After all, even without being the strongest human, Liu Tianyuan was the helmsman of the Alliance, of high status and power, naturally exuding an aura of authority.

In front of such a figure, even Lin Ye couldn't help but feel some pressure.

But fortunately, Liu Tianyuan was clearly not the type who enjoyed idle chat. After finalizing some matters, he left directly.

He didn't even give Lin Ye a chance to see him off, disappearing on the spot.

Even as a Space Mage, Lin Ye couldn't figure out how Liu Tianyuan disappeared so suddenly.

Lin Ye didn't sense even a trace of spatial fluctuation, as if Liu Tianyuan never existed.

But considering Liu Tianyuan is the Strongest, and even among the ranks of the strongest, he is an invincible presence...

Given Lin Ye's level, trying to detect such a presence's movements was truly unrealistic.

The gap between them was probably larger than that between humans and dogs.

"Having dealt with these matters, it's time to focus on leveling up..."

Lin Ye pondered.

Since returning from the Alternate Space, Lin Ye had been busy with such affairs daily, leaving little time for leveling up.

Though last time, at Shangjing University, he completed a hidden mode in the Twin Secret Realm, the experience value obtained was not sufficient to level up.

However, even so, the experience value earned from that secret realm was already extremely high.

For most Professionals, traversing the Secret Realm ten times wouldn't compare to Lin Ye completing it just once in hidden mode.

The rewards in hidden mode have always been far superior to normal mode, which is why so many professionals are eager to pursue it.

There are also additional benefits, like personal reputation, which is extremely valuable for Professionals looking to make a name for themselves.

However, completing hidden mode isn't a simple task; among a hundred Professionals, there might not even be one capable of unlocking it.

And among those capable of unlocking it, perhaps one in a hundred could clear it.

It's almost like finding one in a million.

Lin Ye decided not to rest, directly opening his computer to research various materials and plan his next leveling strategy.

Before he knew it, more than half a day had passed, and by the time Lin Ye left the computer, the afternoon sun was blazing.

If Yan Xun hadn't called, Lin Ye might still be engrossed in making plans.

"Elder Sui has arrived? Okay, I'll head over now!"

Lin Ye put down the phone and stretched.

For a Professional, this level of desk work isn't particularly physically demanding, but the mental effort is like casting non-stop spells.

So it's natural to feel a bit fatigued, and for some Professionals who aren't adept in spellcasting and rely on brute strength, this work is even more demanding than traversing the Secret Realm for three days and nights.

Lin Ye washed his face, changed his clothes, and went straight out.

With a special car pick-up, Lin Ye quickly arrived at the Professional Center in Shenzhen.

He came this time to meet Sui Yi.

Soon, Lin Ye was in a rather secretive meeting room, meeting the elder responsible for the economic lifeline of the entire Alliance.

Even though Elder Sui Yi wasn't a Professional, at over seventy years of age, he still exuded vigor and his eyes were keen.

"Lin Ye greets Elder Sui, sorry for making you wait!"

Lin Ye bowed respectfully, a bit apologetic.

Originally, according to the agreement, he should have been the one waiting for the elder, as he was a junior after all.

But he got so engrossed in making plans that he forgot about this, ending up having Elder Sui, with such high regard, wait for him instead.

Lin Ye wasn't unaware of propriety; naturally, he felt a bit embarrassed.

"No need for all that, just quickly tell me how many Holy Light Crystals you have in hand right now!"

The elder waved dismissively, a bit impatient in his tone.

He had squeezed time out of a pile of affairs to meet Lin Ye, not to hear apologies!

He didn't even care about how much Lin Ye had accomplished; he was solely focused on his work.

This was a textbook example of a workaholic.

Yan Xun, who brought Lin Ye in, gave him an apologetic smile. There was nothing he could do; he knew too well how eccentric his uncle was.

After all, Elder Sui was once known to boldly rebuke the Strongest, so having a poor temper towards Lin Ye was quite normal.

Seeing Elder Sui so anxious, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile lightly.

This elder was indeed just like the rumors.

He immediately began, "I currently have a thousand Holy Light Crystals..."

"A thousand pieces? That's not enough! Did that old bastard Liu Tianyuan send me here for this?" Sui Yi cursed outright.

Lin Ye shook his head helplessly...

Too eager, didn't even wait for him to finish speaking!

"Elder Sui, it's ten million pieces, not a thousand pieces!" Lin Ye corrected.

Immediately, the air in the meeting room seemed to freeze.

Sui Yi snapped his head up to look at Lin Ye, eyes filled with incredulity, quivering as he asked, "You mean... you have ten million Holy Light Crystals?"

Lin Ye nodded, saying, "That's right!"

"Ah, come! Little Lin, sit, sit! It's truly a pleasure to meet you! Come, come!" Sui Yi immediately changed his demeanor, treating Lin Ye with fervent enthusiasm.

Then he turned with a stern face to Yan Xun, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and serve tea to Little Lin!"

Yan Xun's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare utter a word, promptly following his uncle's instructions to pour tea.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ye couldn't help but want to laugh.

This elder truly was a fascinating character.
