Chapter 74

On the Tianming Continent, upgrading Relics requires all sorts of different instruments; upgrading Weapons and Armor needs an anvil, upgrading and crafting consumables needs an alchemy platform, and upgrading Relics needs an enchantment platform.

That is why Li Cheng infiltrated the Magic Department's Enchantment Laboratory.

Of course, his infiltration did not rely solely on a ladder; there was also the Breath Interference Device he had bought in advance from the school's convenience store for 3.5 million Gold Coins.

It is called a convenience store, but in reality it is the Black Market; there are quite a few good things inside, only you have to speak the password to buy them.

As for how the password was obtained...

As a Speedrun Player, Li Cheng is proficient in the entry passwords of every underground Black Market on the Tianming Continent.

He spent nearly half of the 30 million Gold Coins the Downhead Dragon gave him, buying a lot of useful goods from the Black Market.

After a series of Operations, he successfully blended into the Enchantment Laboratory and upgraded the 【Abyssal Mask】.

The materials used for the upgrade were Dragon's Lei Yin, Duan Zao Bi Shi, and 100 Magic Badge Stones.

The upgraded Abyssal Mask, besides its original fixed ability to transform into a specific person, gained an additional ability for temporary facial replication.

As long as the Mask is pressed against a person's face, it can change into that person's Appearance, lasting 24 hours, with a cooldown of 24 hours as well.

If the previous Abyssal Mask could only be used on important characters with names and surnames.

Then the current Abyssal Mask has gained an effect usable on ordinary NPCs.

And this effect is very important for the Second Round Assessment.

"Li Cheng, what Reverse Heaven Operation did you think of again? Tell me about it."

Lilith scratched her head; she only knew Li Cheng planned to use Xiu Si Da Er for Fishing next, but she could not figure out what Fishing had to do with an NPC's face.

"Talk while walking, back to the Dormitory first." Li Cheng said while accelerating into a run.

And Lilith floated Behind, listening to Li Cheng's plan, her Mouth slowly widening into an "O" shape, her eyes flashing with unprecedented Shock and disbelief.

"No way, are you sure this works too?"

"You this... you this Operation is too Defying Heaven, right?"

"Are you sure you won't get beaten to death?"

"But... hmm, if it really succeeds, that might be a major event to be recorded in the Full Moon Academy's history books..." — Twenty minutes later, Li Cheng, jogging all the way, returned to the Assessment Area; to save time, he directly jumped from the floating platform beside it onto the roof, then climbed through the Window inside.

Just as he entered the Dormitory, he saw his two Cannon Fodder roommates lying at the Door, looking outside with shifty eyes.

"You two... what are you doing?"

Li Cheng Frowned.

Karenina next Door is indeed a beautiful girl, but she hasn't come of age yet...

Although these two have always been called the Born Twins, the Original Version didn't have them born to this extent...

This is a baby carriage.

"Cheng." Mu turned his head back, eyes tearing up: "Moving, so moving~"

"Huh?" Li Cheng was baffled.

"A Civilian-born girl, clearly knowing a ten-thousand-zhang Abyss awaits ahead, yet still deciding to shoulder her two roommates' Yi Year 1345 and press on — such a story actually dares to happen before my eyes, it really is... too moving." Xiu Si Da Er also couldn't help but sigh:

"Candidate Li Cheng Big Brother, a Noble-born person like you wouldn't understand."

Talking like you're Civilian-born yourself... Li Cheng Frowned, squeezed past the two, and also lay at the Door.

Turns out, Karenina's two roommates both failed the First Round entrance test and had to pack up and go home today.

Karenina was seeing them off.

And Karenina herself didn't rank at the top either, only getting 142nd place, barely scraping into the Second Round.

With this kind of ranking, even continuing the exam she's just a Cannon Fodder.

What's more, the Second Round Assessment is a real confrontation match, with a real possibility of death and Injury. Yet Karenina showed no intention of retreating.

"Nini, are you sure you want to continue? But I heard the Second Round Exam has many examinees injured every year... some even stay There forever."

"Yeah, Nini, you're different from us; Full Moon Academy First Round 142nd place Grade is enough for you to teach at a small magic school, you can earn lots and lots of money, maybe even become a Noble!"

"Want to reconsider?"

"No need, not needed." Karenina took a Deep Breath and said firmly: "I have a reason I Must Win."

"Is... what reason?"

"It's just..." Karenina's mind flashed with Li Cheng's Appearance of sweeping through the Arena, her face instantly flushing hot: "Aiya, don't ask anymore, Anyway I'm definitely continuing on!"

She is Karenina who will become Li Cheng Brother's woman, how could she stop here?

Thinking this, she urged her two roommates to Hurry and leave.

After the two figures Disappeared, she withdrew her gaze, secretly stole a glance at the Neighbor's room, smoothed her hair, and ducked back inside the Door.

— She must be peeking at me; I am her reason for continuing the competition.

The Born Twins inside the Door simultaneously produced this thought.

And Li Cheng was Expressionless.

He thought about Karenina's talent, then connected it to the Second Round Assessment's Difficulty, instantly reaching a conclusion —

This is the continuation of the Arena Mission Quest Line! Right, with Karenina, it should be very hard to complete enrollment.

And once she fails enrollment, the Plot would Break; she might revert to being a late-game Small Boss for various reasons all over again.

So, in this Hidden Quest, what the player needs to do is help Karenina pass the exam.

The corner of Li Cheng's Mouth curled up; he began to Expect what kind of Reward there would be after this quest is completed.

Right at this moment, Mu leaned on the Door and turned around.

"Li Cheng, right?"

"Mm." Li Cheng nodded.

"Heh, really didn't expect it, you actually have this kind of talent and title." Mu's Tone was filled with complex sourness; he swayed the Armor on his body and walked over step by step.

"Uh, so-so."

"Heh, you really are calculating."

"What did I calculate..."

"Still saying you didn't calculate. Right now you're the celebrity of the entire Full Moon Academy, from the black silk teacher on down to the pure senior sister, everyone knows." Mu walked to In Front of Li Cheng, voice hoarse.

"Then... so what?" Li Cheng frowned slightly.

"So what, heh, you clearly know I want to show off In Front of people, yet you Intentionally Hid a hand. Do you want to make things difficult for me, Mu?" Mu Stared at Li Cheng's eyes.

"What exactly do you want?" Li Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, Killing Intent Gathering on his body.

"I want..."

The War God's Son Wearing Heavy Armor took a Deep Breath, then with a Bang Kneeling on the ground, Kowtow: "Li Cheng Da Ren, I Want/Desire to learn Acting from you!"

Li Cheng: "..."

Xiu Si: "..."

Lilith: "6."
