Chapter 162: I See You Have It

Hu Weng's roar thoroughly awakened the dazed crowd. The joy of surviving a disaster allowed their tightly wound heartstrings to finally relax, and they couldn't help but roar loudly along with Hu Weng, venting their inner excitement.

"Great! We don't have to die!"

"Damn it, only when you're on the verge of death can you truly realize the value of life! All the wealth and glory are bullshit; being able to live well is more important than anything!"

"It was Mr. Student Zhuge who saved us once again... He has always kept Qingcheng in his heart!"

"Sob sob sob! I have to message my goddess! I survived!"

"I want to have over ten!"

Ye Lin took the opportunity to stuff the Astrolabe back into Student Zhuge Ni's hand, pretending that it was Student Zhuge Ni who had made the move and that it had nothing to do with him, then blended into the crowd to cheer along.

The scene just now had been so chaotic that few people had noticed Ye Lin anyway. He didn't want to lose the new identity he had worked so hard to get.

When the monsters had completely retreated, a dense pile of corpses remained at the foot of the Qingcheng city wall.

There were monsters and humans mixed together, emitting a thick, nauseating smell of blood.

The crowd that had been cheering finally calmed down from their excitement, and before long, sobbing sounds rose one after another.

Due to Student Zhuge Qianxing, Qingcheng had enjoyed a long period of peace; they hadn't seen such a large-scale monster siege in a long time.

A close friend you spent every day with was jumping around one second, and the next, they were bitten in half by a monster. Witnessing such a scene was enough to make it impossible for anyone to sleep well for a long time.

Hu Weng also sighed gloomily. Although the monsters had been repelled, for a city lord like him, the real trouble had just begun.

Distributing death benefits, comforting the families of the deceased, and especially dealing with the mountain of corpses before him—the aftermath was also a huge headache. If not handled well, it could even lead to a terrible plague, causing secondary damage to the entire Qingcheng.

All of this was enough to give Hu Weng a massive headache.

However, that was a matter for later. Right now, the most important thing was to let the exhausted crowd go home!

"I announce! The Level I alert is lifted! All class-changers may leave the city wall in an orderly fashion!" Hu Weng announced loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people wept with joy, and some were so excited that they jumped directly from the dozens-of-meters-high city wall.

Ye Lin didn't do anything so extreme; he calmly blended into the crowd and left the city wall.

At this time, the streets of Qingcheng were empty, and all the ordinary people had gathered toward the teleportation array.

Ye Lin was pondering how to quietly devour all the monster corpses outside with Endless Devour when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"The power of your strike just now was terrifying, but unfortunately, your aim was a bit off."

Ye Lin's hair stood on end instantly!

Without any hesitation, he swung the Eight Desolations Sacred Silver Bow horizontally behind him!

But halfway through the swing, Ye Lin felt as if it had been blocked by something, unable to move even an inch further.

Looking back, he met a dragon-faced mask!

"You're not dead?" Ye Lin was somewhat shocked; he had clearly seen this dragon-faced masked person engulfed by Starlight Annihilation.

"Disappointed?" Chen Long asked in return.

"What do you want?" Ye Lin felt that this guy didn't seem to be here to kill him. If he wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need to waste so many words.

"Thank you," Chen Long said.

"Thank me?" Ye Lin was truly confused now.

"Thank you for saving so many innocent people in Qingcheng," Chen Long said.

"So many monsters were all lured here by you, and now you come to thank me? Are you sick?" Ye Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"I had no choice, you wouldn't understand," Chen Long shook his head, saying somewhat mournfully. "I actually wish I could have died under your strike just now, but unfortunately, your aim was too poor."

"Then should I apologize for not killing you?" Ye Lin asked.

"No need for apologies. Remember, you are already dead."

Chen Long walked away without looking back. Only then did Ye Lin notice that Chen Long was still carrying a severed human head!

"What a weirdo."

Ye Lin couldn't help but frown, but it was a good thing this guy didn't attack him.

If they really started fighting, not to mention whether he could win, his identity would almost certainly be exposed.

"Now all that's left is Guo Qin..."

Ye Lin muttered to himself. The monster horde had been repelled, and he had made a perfect escape. As long as Guo Qin also made a successful escape, then this plan could be considered a perfect success.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, Guo Qin arrived at Ye Lin's side like a gust of wind with a whoosh.

"Damn it! I was almost caught by those guys!"

Guo Qin was so tired his tongue was lolling out, and his clothes had several large holes burned into them from the friction of high-speed movement, making him look like a disheveled beggar.

Seeing Guo Qin, Ye Lin breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"You weren't followed, were you?"

"No! How could they catch me? Is my title as Qingcheng's Fastest Man just for show? I lured them all the way into the wilderness and then slipped back."

Speaking of this, Guo Qin proudly puffed out his chest.

"Come to think of it, I have to thank Miss Student Zhuge for holding those people off for a while, otherwise it would have been really hard for me to run."

Ye Lin nodded, then said somewhat gratefully.

"More importantly, the Xie family head, Xie Hong, was concerned about his status and didn't take the field himself! Otherwise... there would definitely have been countless variables!"

"Yeah, Little Boss, come to think of it, we're really lucky!"

Guo Qin chimed in, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Alright, let's stop talking about these unhappy things! I risked my life to save so many beauties in Qingcheng! Now, it's time for me, Guo Qin, to collect my rewards!"

Before Ye Lin could understand what Guo Qin meant by collecting rewards, he was dragged into the crowd.

At this moment, Qingcheng was immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster, with many people hugging each other tightly, weeping, and cheering.

Guo Qin had a very clear goal, walking straight toward a tall, slightly plump beauty.

"I believe you all know that we are gathered here today to welcome your first assessment after enrollment!"

"After a month, you also understand that in Da Xia Academy, money is useless. For food, clothing, housing, transportation, purchasing equipment, purchasing props, etc., everything you use only requires credits."

"Then do you know, besides normal classes, completing course progress, and going to the school's mission hall to take missions, is there a more convenient way to earn credits?"

Yan Lanbing stopped after speaking, leaving a suspense.

And Ye Lin, who was under the stage, was completely confused. He had been eating, drinking, and living with Professor Shen for this month. He didn't even know that one could only live on credits in Da Xia Academy.

Credits? He had never touched credits, and he had no interest in credits. ===== CHAPTER 173 =====

"I don't have WeChat," the beauty stepped back half a step, somewhat vigilantly.

"That's fine, then let me touch your big breasts! I see you have them!" ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
