Chapter 26: Die (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of White Emperor Son is Number One in the World)

~12 min read 2,326 words

August 29, 413 of the Cataclysm Era.

7:20.

Opening day of Tianmen University.

Ji Jue woke up slowly from his exquisite sleep, opened his eyes, and looked at the firmament outside the window. It rained a little in the morning, and after the morning sun rose, the sky was clear and the streets were refreshing as new.

A cool breeze blew in from the open window.

Such beautiful weather, flowers are blooming, birds are singing... and some unlucky children are about to fall into the flames of hell.

For example, Ji Jue.

After waking up from a nightmare, he felt the pillow that was almost soaked with tears. For a long time, he didn't have the courage to pick up his phone—especially when he found that his mailbox had no reply other than promotional spam, he really wanted to find an exquisite little box to burn himself and put it in!

It's over, it's completely over!

Professor Ye hasn't replied to him yet, he might, possibly, probably, really be dead!

Recalling the short month of time before, Ji Jue felt like a lifetime away.

There were too many messy things, and his summer vacation life was too fulfilling and ups and downs, so much so that he completely threw the thesis he originally handed in to the back of his mind...

No way!

Even if I want to hand it in, I have to have the conditions, right?!

Basically, most of the time, Ji Jue was lying in the hospital, in a state of passing out. The extreme weakness of his physique led to sleeping for eighteen hours a day, and the severe overdraft of his spiritual quality time and again led him to be in a state of mental retardation most of the time.

Asking him what to eat for lunch would take a long time to react, and his hands would shake like Parkinson's when holding chopsticks.

Like a dying sloth.

Not to mention not having the ability to do academic work, even his arithmetic ability was gone. He bought a bowl of rice noodle rolls, and the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within ten almost resulted in a magical result that made the boss pay him back 6.5 yuan.

And when he recovered almost enough and finally found the approaching deadline, there were only three days left before school started!

Three days?

Even if I kill myself, I can't get it out, right!

Helplessly, Ji Jue could only go out and find an internet cafe, holding a memory stick in his mouth and calculating all night, finally barely putting together something with such high water content that the Dragon King would kowtow when he saw it. Filled with anxiety, he plucked up the courage and sent it to the professor's mailbox.

As a result, there is still no reply...

On the bright side, it's because Professor Ye is too busy and hasn't had time to look at it yet, right? Maybe she forgot about this long ago and doesn't care at all.

It is also possible that after reading it, she felt that his kind of large academic garbage had no value to save, and went to order a pollutant incinerator, just waiting for him to dare to come to the door, and give him a crisp and neat death.

Death is imminent.

There is no way to live!

But no matter how dead-end it was, Ji Jue finally rubbed, squirmed, and crawled out of bed, washing and changing clothes like a sleepwalker.

When going downstairs, he found that his family's mutated little sheep was lying in the living room licking a TV that was older than him, and engine oil was flowing everywhere... so he wanted to die even more!

. co

It is said that before the Cataclysm Era, there was a famous saying: Life is like a gorgeous robe covered in lice.

Ji Jue felt that his life was a gorgeous louse, and there was no robe at all! But apart from wearing this thing, he had no other clothes...

Can't run naked, right?

Just make do, life is just like that, isn't everyone like this?

Thus, riding the car with tears, he came to the door of the mainland auto repair shop. A group of people had been waiting there for a long time—today is the day the second girl, Lu Ling, goes to university for the first time. As the only remaining learning seed of the old Lu family finally had results, and the one she was admitted to was Tianmen, the same school as Ji Jue, Lu Ma wished she could set off two more strings of firecrackers at the door to celebrate.

As an extra second brother, Ji Jue had to pick her up on the way.

Might as well grab some breakfast while I'm at it.

"Oh my, you don't need to bring too many things. The first day is just to report, meet the teachers and classmates, and the second girl is a local, and she is a commuter, so she will go home in the afternoon. Where do you need so many things?"

Seeing the big and small bags prepared by Lu Ma, Ji Jue couldn't help shaking his head. After saying everything, he finally removed most of them, only brought the necessary documents, and after carrying the second girl behind, the little sheep set off with a toot-toot-toot.

In the back seat, Lu Ling twisted and turned excitedly, enjoying the wind blowing in her face, youthful, sunny, and bright, forming a sharp contrast with Ji Jue's dead look.

"Second brother, you changed your car." She finally discovered the point, making Ji Jue stiffen: "No, no, it's still the same one. Look, isn't that scar on the back scraped by the youngest with a knife before?"

"Eh, that's right."

Lu Ling patted the seat blankly. After all, Lu Feng rode this thing to carry her to high school every day for three years, so there was no reason not to recognize it, but...

"Why does it feel so much bigger?"

The little sheep, which originally had a displacement of only 110cc, now became almost like a medium-sized motorcycle, fat by more than a circle. A ghost could see there was a problem.

Ji Jue rolled his eyes and retorted loudly: "It's allowed for you to be admitted to university, but not allowed for others to grow up during puberty?"

Lu Ling was speechless. Instead, the little sheep that was listening silently under her butt couldn't help but start to twist, and was kicked twice on the pedal by Ji Jue, instantly settling down.

What kind of experience is it that your family's little sheep suddenly turns into a dog?

It's an experience that makes people want to die.

Originally, Ji Jue was worried that it would suddenly go crazy one day and bite his head off as a ball to kick. As a result, he found that as a mutated product born under the influence of Ji Jue's ability and Vortex Planting Art, which absorbed most of the dragon blood, the personality of this thing could be said to be stable to a bizarre degree, and it was very obedient, flattering like a dog.

When using ability to communicate, it is no different from a dog.

If you tell it to squat, it squats; if you tell it to roll, it rolls; the mudguard shakes until it's about to fly.

And it saves oil and electricity. After mutation, it doesn't even need to add oil, and the horsepower is exaggerated to the point of perversion—I don't know which sports car engine it ate, accelerating from 0 to 100 in only two seconds, and the limit speed directly exploded to 470 kilometers per hour, so that rumors of ghosts began to appear on the highway near Ji Jue's house recently.

These are all advantages, and the only disadvantage is...

The mouth is too picky!

It consumes half a white-cut chicken per 100 kilometers on average. Braised chicken doesn't work, and frozen chicken legs bought in the supermarket are not eaten. It only loves freshly killed and cooked ones...

So much so that Ji Jue, who was originally in a state of absolute poverty, is now completely bankrupt.

Of course, Ji Jue knows that this disadvantage is his own, not its.

After all, what bad intentions can a little puppy have? It didn't want to be reincarnated into your family's little sheep. If it followed a rich person, it would have achieved white-cut chicken freedom long ago.

No way, can only raise it, can I throw it away?

Letting it not enter the room and only sleep in the living room is already the limit of Ji Jue's heartlessness.

Fortunately, when it usually disguises itself as an ordinary little sheep, it is still very quiet, otherwise Ji Jue would have no courage to take it out.

In the morning, Tianmen University, which had been slightly silent for more than a month, had already begun to become noisy. At the gate, there was a lot of traffic, and candidates from various urban areas and even other cities were excitedly poking their heads and looking, taking pictures with their mobile phones.

The excited second girl also pulled Ji Jue to check in at many internet-famous spots and post to Moments, and Lu Ma performed magic fast hands on the other end, instantly liking and praising.

The happy and relaxed mood lasted until the end of the freshman registration process, when paying fees.

The bank staff waiting there sat behind the counter with a smile, handed her the loan contract, just like vampires watching blood bags lining up to send themselves to the door.

Tianmen University has never been a charity institution. As one of the top five in the Federation, its gold content is famously high, its threshold is famously high, and its tuition is famously high.

Of course, since she was admitted, naturally there is no need to worry about not being able to pay tuition... naturally, there are kind, kind, and generous banks coming to the door to help you, inviting you to serve as their repayment slave for the next twenty years.

Even if Ji Jue and Lu Feng ran through the municipal departments with various materials in the first half of the summer vacation to handle various certificates and preferential subsidies, the annual interest rate was still as high as 4.1%.

After just a few minutes, the little girl's life was already burdened with more than 800,000 in student loans, and her little pearls were about to fall out while holding the bag.

"Rest assured, rest assured, Tianmen's economics major is the best to find a job. If it doesn't work, there are still Big Dog and Second Brother, right?" Ji Jue rubbed her hair and comforted: "Go, let's go see the teaching building first, and Second Brother will take you to eat braised pork rice in the cafeteria later!"

"Don't eat braised pork rice."

Lu Ling rubbed her eye sockets and was even more sad: "Second brother, you ate until you were sent to the hospital the year before last..."

Ji Jue's smile stiffened. This dead child, why does she still remember this broken thing? Moreover, the cafeteria also lost a lot of money, okay! Have you forgotten how your little skirt came from! That was all eaten by Second Brother bowl by bowl of braised pork rice in the emergency room!

Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly shook.

The moment the screen lit up, the stiff smile disappeared completely, and his heart stopped.

Professor Ye: 【Is the process finished? Come to my office】

"..."

Ji Jue swallowed his saliva, put the phone back: "Wait a minute, you go to familiarize yourself with the school with the senior sister just now, I have something to do, go first."

"What to do?" Lu Ling was blank.

Ji Jue was silent for a moment, squeezing out a standard smile from a posthumous photo:

"Die."

Running and accelerating all the way, as soon as Ji Jue walked into the corridor on the fourth floor of the office building, he saw a moved face that was almost tearful, and pounced on him.

It was Ye Chun!

"Sobbing, Ji Jue, you are so good!"

The senior sister patted his shoulder vigorously, as if she knew him again, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "So you really didn't become a grinder, I'm so moved! I'll add chicken legs to you at noon! Add two!"

"Don't say it, I really want to die!"

Ji Jue was lifeless, almost lying on the ground. God knows how to explain his pile of garbage to the professor. Can't say that he was involved in a terrorist attack, fought side by side with the big sister of the Security Bureau against Lawrence, and scored 93 points in the whole game?

"Come, come, please! Warrior, please go to die!"

Ye Chun looked gloating, led him to the front of the office, opened the door for him personally, and kicked him onto the 'judgment table'.

In the silence, only the ticking of the clock remained.

In the morning sun, the person behind the desk seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She didn't pretend to change documents, just holding a tea cup that had been around for some years and drinking strong tea that was black.

There was no deliberate makeup. The face of Professor Ye Xian, who was over forty, already had wrinkles, like knife carvings, which instead highlighted the harshness and solemnity in her bones.

Seeing Ji Jue squirming all the way, still smiling and rubbing his hands to greet, she didn't get angry, just pointed to the pile of papers that had just been printed.

"Comment on it yourself first."

She said: "The 'academic' results you handed in." ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
