"I intend to withdraw from the Hidden Origin Guild, and I will pay you the penalty for breach of contract within the stipulated time."
The boss's smiling face froze instantly.
"Wh...what? How did you know?"
After saying this, Lu Cang turned around and said, "You never intended to give me the activation code for the S-level talent in the first place, right? So I'm just here to inform you that I will no longer be working for the Hidden Origin Guild."
Lu Cang opened the door and walked outside.
Behind him, the guild leader of Yinyuan Guild slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly!
"Lu Cang, have you thought this through? If you breach the contract we signed, the penalty for breach of contract is five hundred million!"
"Even if you were to lose our Hidden Origin Guild, could you afford to pay 500 million in compensation?"
"You just won the World Championship title two months ago, you haven't even had time to take on any advertising deals yet!"
"If you leave the guild, making money won't be so easy!"
Earning 500 million in this world as the number one assassin in the fantasy world and the best commander in team battles is indeed not difficult.
The problem is that Lu Cang hasn't had time to monetize his honors yet.
Lu Cang didn't turn around, but replied as he walked, "You're the newcomer whose S-level talent you're planning to secretly cultivate, right?"
"They secretly spread the rumor that the S-rank assassin talent was reserved for me, just to make me reject other guilds."
The third region is the last server in the Fantasy Realm.
If you can't get good talents on this server, you'll never have another chance to create a new account.
After Lu Cang won the championship, other guilds offered him S-level talent activation codes, but Lu Cang hesitated because his former employer, Yin Yuan Guild, had privately contacted him and said they had reserved an S-level assassin talent for him.
Therefore, Lu Cang rejected all invitations from other guilds.
Out of trust in the Hidden Origin Guild, which they had cooperated with for many years, Lu Cang believed them.
Looking back now, I realize that I was too naive and guileless in my first life. I didn't even sign a contract for something so important, and I just trusted the other party's verbal promises.
That makes sense, though. In his first life, he was indeed young and easily stumbled when facing these seasoned veterans of society.
Lu Cang waved his hand behind him without turning around, and said calmly, "Guild Leader, I don't intend to be schemed against like this. Our guild friendship ends here."
"Wait! Lu Cang! Where are you going?"
"If you go to other guilds now, they won't accept you. The server is about to open! Their talent slots have already been decided, and they won't change their minds for you!"
"If you stay with the Hidden Origin Guild, I can still leave you an A-grade talent activation code. Do you want to start with a random talent?"
Lu Cang had already walked far away and gone down the stairs. His figure was no longer visible, but one could hear a faint voice drifting from afar: "Don't worry about me, we'll meet again soon, Chairman."
"However, I think you might not want to see me for long."
-------------------------------------
After leaving the guild.
Lu Cang returned to his home.
"The penalty for breach of contract... we're going to lose a lot of money."
Lu Cang scratched his hair.
"If we can't pay back the money, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep this big villa."
Starting with a debt of 500 million yuan is truly a hellish start.
"If we can't pay back the money, the game pods might be forcibly sold."
"At that point, I'll probably only be able to play games in the [cabin bar]."
However, these are all minor matters.
As someone who has already been reborn twice, this kind of adversity is really nothing.
"Brother, you're back?"
As soon as she got home, she heard a warm greeting and her sleepy-eyed younger sister, Bai Lu, came out of her bedroom.
"Yes, I'm back."
Bai Lu was still rubbing her eyes; she didn't seem to be fully awake yet.
"Bro, aren't you guys at the club supposed to be playing games all night to meet a deadline?"
"Why are you back so early?"
Upon seeing his sister again, Lu Cang's expression softened considerably: "I've resigned."
Bai Lu is his half-sister, and Lu Cang's biological father left home before Lu Cang could remember anything.
Her mother remarried, and her stepfather also had a daughter, Bai Lu.
Although they are not related by blood, Lu Cang and Bai Lu can be said to have grown up together since childhood.
However, three years ago, her parents were in a car accident, and now only she and her younger sister are left to depend on each other.
Recalling memories from hundreds of years ago, Lu Cang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"LuLu, when the new server for Fantasy Realm opens, log in and play games with me for a while."
Lulu is her nickname.
Bai Lu became visibly excited upon hearing Lu Cang's invitation.
"Really!"
Her brother is a professional gamer, and even when he's online, he doesn't have time to play with her because he's always training.
Bai Lu is naturally happy to have time to play with her now!
Although she has only been in college for a short time, she is already a girl with severe internet addiction.
"But won't this slow down my brother's game progress?"
"Brother~"
The launch of the Fantasy World server is a big deal. In the early stages, all the major guilds were racing to make progress. My brother, as a professional player, spent his time accompanying her, an amateur player...
Although her skills are decent for a girl, they are only at an average level.
If I play with my older brother, I might slow him down and cause him to fall behind in the early stages.
Seeing that Bai Lu was worried about him, Lu Cang smiled and said, "No, I have my own plans."
Lu Cang continued, "The server will be open soon, get ready to log in."
"Oh, right... I'll give you an activation code. You can just copy it later."
"Activation code? Really?! Waaaaah! I knew my brother loved his sister the most!"
Lu Cang sent the activation code directly to Lu Lu via his mobile phone. After receiving the activation code, Lu Lu imported it into the game pod and added it to the clipboard.
Lu Cang returned to his room and lay down in the game pod.
"I hope this life will go smoothly; I really don't want to go through it again."
The alarm clock rang at 12 o'clock, and Lu Cang closed his eyes in the game pod.

A gray shield, behind which stands the guardian god Obadiah, composed of solid earth and stone.
Mage, Warrior, Priest, Assassin, Gunner, Archer, Guardian
This is the initial profession in the Fantasy World.
"We've reached this crucial decision-making stage again."
Lu Cang recalled his previous lives.
Before undergoing reincarnation in her first life, her choice was to become an assassin, a member of the Hidden Origin Guild.
That guild leader changed his mind at the last minute and didn't give me the activation code for my S-level talent. And because of the 500 million contract breach penalty, I couldn't immediately turn against him.
They could only follow their guilds and top-tier teams to compete for first kills in various dungeons, but the resources they obtained were ultimately limited.
Most of the resources ultimately went to the Hidden Origin Guild, leaving them far behind others.
In his second life, during his first reincarnation, Lu Cang also chose to be an assassin, but the reincarnation was rushed and sudden.
Because of a lack of prior preparation.
Even after being reborn, he still received an A-level talent. However, the difference was that in this life, Lu Cang chose a lone wolf approach and left the Hidden Origin Guild to develop on his own.
However, the strength of A-level talents is ultimately limited, and they still couldn't make it to the end.
In his third life, his second reincarnation, Lu Cang still chose to be an assassin. However, because he had made preparations in advance, he obtained a special SS-level talent activation code this time.
Once again, he chose the lone wolf strategy, racking up first kills left and right, single-handedly stirring up a storm in the entire fantasy world.
In this very life, he fought his way to the stars and even to the gods.
Then I realized... there are so many gods, I can't kill them all.
This life is the fourth life, the third reincarnation.
Lu Cang looked at the dagger in the distance and sighed, "I can't choose you this time."
Lu Cang's gaze swept around, without lingering on the gods.
"Having gone through three cycles of reincarnation, it would have been a waste if I hadn't used some special methods."
"Special redemption activation".
Buzz—
A pop-up window appeared in front of Lu Cang.
Please enter the activation code:
You only have three attempts. If you fail to activate after all three attempts, you will lose activation privileges.
This is a special exchange.
In the fantasy world, you may receive an activation code as a reward after completing certain special tasks or achieving certain accomplishments in the first two servers.
A Grade A activation code can sell for 20 million on the market.
Keep in mind that this price is assuming the game will have a future impact on the real world.
Once the illusionary realm began to affect reality, the price of an A-level talent activation code could reach 20 billion.
However, at that time, the value of money also decreased.
As for the S-level activation code...
It has always been a case of high price but no market. Before the illusionary world affected reality, it was possible to buy it, but after the illusionary world affected reality, even exchanging it for the resources of an entire country might not be enough to get it.
However, Lu Cang's goal was not some S-level activation code.
"Enter activation code..."
----------------------------------------
[Activation code: JodIAFwGhKJNKdFbohEw(uf)AIJp(qi)oFJwdKNVAJhGpAEJFKLVNbwEIRUh849tYwUAoIhFEbhUASdFFYGq8UFwohEFGbVSAhUbKGwRIqhU9oIR;EwJFKdAhUKGAdILoFw do2qAIGYUwAIEoUt45hIL4FwJKdFhA5bwJ4UR3KY289qchUG,AoUIwRUNtGVqYc6545wFAhEUIdRJoq6745KUFIhowRAEoGJIARwEhE89UoIF;h13GJdSKGNIELAthJIwEoRpKLF]
----------------------------------------
Looking at the activation code with a full 300 characters in front of him, Lu Cang had a thought flash through his mind: "Even the luckiest person has no chance of guessing correctly..."
But suddenly, Lu Cang remembered something else.
"No... that's too absolute. There's still a chance of guessing correctly."
Lu Cang clicked "Confirm".
"However, at least we won't be right now."
Congratulations on successfully activating your activation code!
You have successfully activated - Eternal Ruler.
This is the only talent that has the potential to grow to SSS level.
It is also the only activation code in the entire game with SSS-level value.
----------------------------------------
[Talent: Eternal Ruler (A)]
[This talent's effects are only active when you are the guild leader.]
[Effect 1: Elite - The fewer the guild members, the stronger the amplification of the other effects of the talent.]
[Effect 2: Challenge Missions - Guilds will launch challenge missions. Completing these missions will grant special and generous rewards (the fewer members there are, the higher the rewards)]
[Effect 3: Leaving a Name - Leaving your guild name during the name-leaving phase will grant you a more generous reward than usual (the fewer members, the greater the reward)]
[Effect 4: Domination of All Powers - You can gain all the abilities of any member in your guild and copy the equipment they are wearing. Duration: 2 minutes, Cooldown: 2 minutes (the fewer members, the longer the duration and the shorter the cooldown)]
[Description: An extremely unique guild-buff talent, seemingly possessing limitless potential.]
----------------------------------------
This talent, although it's only A-level, has growth potential and could even grow to the legendary SSS-level.
"However... this A-grade seems a bit too overmodel-like."
I've never heard of any A-level talent that had four effects right after it was acquired.
