Chapter 72: (Third Update) Big Boss Is Such a Noble Person

The Full Moon Queen landed before Big Boss, saying nothing as she gazed at him, her expression somewhat dazed.

"Full Moon Dean, Full Moon Dean?"

Big Boss raised his hand and waved it twice in front of her.

"……" The Full Moon Queen finally came back to her senses.

In that moment just now, she had been dazed and mistook Big Boss for someone else.

Someone who existed ten thousand years ago.

Someone whose face she could not remember.

Someone she had regarded as a teacher, as an older brother, as a lover.

Someone…

Scumbag!!!

"What am I thinking? That was ten thousand years ago. Even if he were truly still alive, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be this young, this… weak."

The Full Moon Queen laughed self-mockingly: "Kid, your potential isn't bad."

"Thank you for the praise."

Big Boss smiled warmly and brightly.

The goal was achieved.

That's right. He had made such a grand display before everyone, and his purpose was to attract the Full Moon Queen's attention.

Under normal process, players needed to complete three rounds of entrance exams, then do several side quests for academy teachers, before they could attract the Full Moon Queen's attention and thereby unlock the main quest.

That was the Full Moon Queen assassination line—the Night of Shen Yu Zhi Lin—planned together by the Abyssal Eye Witch and the dragon girl downhead.

But that was too slow.

For an evil path speedrun player like Big Boss, doing those teacher side quests with hardly any good rewards was simply wasting time.

So, he planned to fish.

Only this big fish, the Full Moon Queen, would fall into a deep sleep starting from the second round of the exam, sleeping until the first Sunday after the assessment ended.

The only time available for fishing was the first round of the exam.

That was why he made such a grand display during the first round of the exam.

Now, the conditions were all met, and he had successfully attracted the Full Moon Queen's attention. After the assessment ended, he could directly unlock the kill-kill-kill main quest.

Just then, the Full Moon Queen spoke as well.

Her voice was very soft, her tone somewhat conflicted, as if she were hesitating over something.

But she still opened her mouth:

"Big Boss, your aptitude is quite good. I ask you, are you willing to be my student? I want to teach you personally."

Once these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent once again.

The big shots in the stands were even more shocked beyond measure.

In the past hundred years, the Full Moon Queen had taken only one student: Latanaya, the Last Princess of the Blood Clan, and the reason for taking her as a disciple was merely to prevent the Blood Clan's bloodline from breaking.

Over these hundred years, countless forces had sent their own young talents before her, but she had refused them all.

And today, this God of the Mortal Realm actually extended an olive branch to a student who hadn't even enrolled yet.

Everyone knew what that meant.

Resources and power were tilting toward this young man.

For a moment, the examinees around the exam platform and the upperclassmen in the stands all wore envious expressions.

Lilith floated behind Big Boss, enjoying everyone's gaze, as if she herself were the one being envied.

"Big Boss, wow, you're really amazing! Things are exactly as you expected!"

"Now, as long as you become the Full Moon Queen's disciple, you can enroll directly, without even participating in the following two rounds of exams!"

Lilith felt that being able to summon Big Boss was truly wonderful!

Which Savior could be like Big Boss, gaining the favor of top-tier big shots right at the opening? This part must be recorded well, beautified and processed, then placed into Big Boss's biography.

She could never guess how extremely filial Big Boss's current thoughts were.

On the other side, Mu He and Xiu Si Da Er both looked unwell.

Xiu Si Da Er wasn't too uncomfortable, after all he had little interest in showing off before others; he only regretted somewhat that he had previously failed to recognize people correctly, hadn't firmly clung to Big Boss's thigh, and instead had taken Mu He as his boss.

But Mu He's expression was truly quite wonderful.

He never expected that this round of assessment, which should have been his own chance to show off before others, had become Big Boss's performance stage.

Afraid his brother wouldn't pass, afraid his brother would do too well.

At this moment, Mu He, upon recalling his own grand words from before, just wanted to find a place to bury his head in.

Social death, truly too much social death.

In the stands, Latanaya looked at Big Boss with trembling pupils, her eyes full of little stars.

Did not expect, truly did not expect, Big Boss actually wanted to be a teacher's student too.

But her happiness didn't last long before it was interrupted by a thought. Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't Big Boss become her junior brother? Both junior brother and disciple—how exactly should this generation be divided!

Just then, Big Boss's voice rang out.

"I'm sorry, Dean, but I'm afraid I cannot comply."

"Hmm, so…" The Full Moon Queen nodded, then suddenly froze: "What did you say?"

"I say Dean, I'm very sorry, I cannot accept your kindness." Big Boss repeated once more.

"Hey, what are you saying!" The Sorting Hat on his head couldn't stand it anymore: "Kid, don't be so arrogant. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance for you!"

The rest of those present were all stunned.

What's going on? Full Moon Dean personally came to take a disciple, and you refused? Do you know how many people want this spot? What a waste! What a waste!

The Full Moon Queen also frowned, but she was not overbearing, merely asking softly: "Can you tell me your reason?"

"Very simple. I agreed with the other two fellows that we would pass the three rounds of assessment together," Li Cheng said, pointing at Mu He and Xiu Si Da Er.

Of course, he did not refuse the Full Moon Dean for this reason.

He refused her because of cost-effectiveness.

In the second round of assessment, Li Cheng would use Xiu Si to fish, squeezing the equipment and abilities off the Magic Dragon Tower Aide dry.

And in the third round of assessment, it was the fastest way to the Abyss Realm; Li Cheng's countless Pain Points also had to be turned into usable abilities and equipment.

On the contrary, on the Full Moon Dean's side, even if he went with her, she would still sleep soundly for a period of time.

Agreeing to her would not only bring no gain, but would also cause him to miss out on the planned gains.

Players would never throw away equipment they had obtained for the sake of empty fame.

"Who are they to you?" the Full Moon Queen frowned.

"Just friends I recently met."

"Then why?"

"Because of a promise." Li Cheng smiled brightly: "I'm the kind of person who generally does what I promise others."

If he couldn't do it, he would kill the person who was promised... he added silently in his heart.

The Full Moon Queen looked at Li Cheng's smile, and suddenly felt as if her fist had hit cotton.

Do you even know who you are refusing?

Because of a single promise, you give up the chance to become my disciple? Do you know how much you will lose because of this decision? Are there really such noble people in this world? And the Legendaries on the VIP Seats also fell silent.

They had thought Li Cheng refused the Full Moon Queen out of youthful recklessness and ignorance, but they never expected it was actually for such a noble reason.

"A promise is worth a thousand gold, a promise is worth a thousand gold." The Order High Priest couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "Old man, I still misjudged him. What is most precious about Li Cheng is not only the title of Divine Favor and his astonishing potential, but also... his morality that is countless times higher than ordinary people."

"I think Li Cheng obtained all this precisely because of this morality," the Furnace Archbishop also sighed in admiration: "Otherwise, why would he have the title Great Love Little Angel?"

"Oh?" The Order High Priest was stunned, then nodded: "Yes, you are right. This nobility deserves Great Love, and this innocence deserves Little Angel. Yes, this title is indeed not wrong!"

Immediately, his brow furrowed again.

Is Li Cheng really the Son of Destiny in the prophecy? Can all hope really be pinned on one person? Tianming Continent cannot afford another failure.

War God Bas looked at Mu with even greater hatred that iron could not become steel.

Look at Li Cheng, who achieved such great success without a trace of complacency, but instead placed promises and friendship first.

Then look at his own child, who spent all day thinking about showing off in front of people and taking on disciples...

The more he looked at Mu, the angrier he got; he wished he could immediately pull out Seven Matches Wolf, completely forgetting that Mu's gene for showing off in front of his lover was inherited from whom.

In the examination hall, the Full Moon Queen sighed.

To be honest, the reason Li Cheng gave her was a reason she could not deal with.

If she continued to pester him, she would instead be unfeeling.

Unexpectedly, for the first time in centuries taking a disciple, she had run into a closed door. Li Cheng, ah Li Cheng...

However, this was originally just a whim.

She only thought this child resembled the person she regarded as her teacher in some ways, so she had the idea of taking him as a disciple.

If rejected, then let it be rejected.

She then looked at Xiu Si and Mu, one a Funeral of a Magic Dragon Descendant, the other War God's Son.

They could be considered geniuses.

This trio might achieve quite outstanding results in the future.

"Forget it, forget it. Go fulfill your promise first. I also need to cultivate recently and have no time to teach you. Come find me after you enroll."

"Do not disappoint me."

The Full Moon Queen's voice grew smaller and smaller, and her body gradually melted into dew, disappearing.

It turned out that the one who appeared here was not her True Body at all, but merely a Water Clone.

And this matter, whether among the big shots present or the two mother goddesses of the Abyss, no one had seen through it.
