Chapter 91: Karenina Finally Caught Up to Her Li Cheng Brother
"Do you know many people's identities?" Li Cheng raised an eyebrow.
Finally, finally someone asked me this question, hahaha... Mu's mouth corner rose, he puffed out his chest, and smugly smoothed his hair: "Not many, just a dozen or so."
"Hmm, that's indeed not many." Li Cheng nodded.
"Low key low key, this is just my normal performance, hehe..." Mu Zheng laughed, then suddenly froze: "Wait, Li Cheng Da Ren, what did you say?"
"Indeed not many." Li Cheng looked at him doubtfully: "Didn't you say it yourself?"
"I was..."
Mu was choked in one breath; he was being modest, it was the wind-up before showing off.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Li Cheng Da Ren's pupils tremble, suck in a cold breath, then follow with "This child is terrifying," and then he'd laugh hehe twice? How come the plot development doesn't match imagination!
Mu Qian coughed twice, scratched his head, and probed: "Then Li Cheng Da Ren, how many people's identities do you know?"
"Not many either, just 151." Li Cheng said lightly.
"151?" Right then, another candidate happened to pass by the two, he exclaimed, then immediately looked Li Cheng up and down: "I say brother, are you sick? There are only 151 candidates total, you know the identity badges of 151?"
"That's right." Li Cheng nodded.
"Pfft, what bull are you blowing. I never saw you during the assessment, where did you learn my identity?" That candidate sneered, shook his head, and walked away speechlessly.
"Li Cheng Da Ren, you're joking, right?" Mu also looked at him speechlessly.
"No."
"No?" Mu raised an eyebrow, then looked at Li Cheng suspiciously, and grinned.
151 people, that means 151 points.
Before coming to Full Moon Academy, Mu had specifically investigated this.
The second round of the entrance exam, the highest score record is 41 points, obtained by the current Dean, the Full Moon Queen, in her enrollment year.
But now, Li Cheng says he got 151 points? If he fought everyone the whole way it'd be one thing, but now, randomly bumping into a candidate who never saw Li Cheng, where would he get so many points?
So the answer is self-evident.
Very obviously, Li Cheng Da Ren is insisting on a dead duck's hard beak.
I see, so Li Cheng Da Ren also has times when showing off fails but he still holds on.
Thinking here, Mu was even more amused; he suddenly felt he was back in form: "Li Cheng, stop messing around, you absolutely cannot have such a high score."
"Say what you want." Li Cheng glanced at him, not intending to argue.
Yet unexpectedly, a soft voice rang out: "Then what if Li Cheng Brother gets such a high score?"
"Who's speaking?" Mu turned his head following the sound.
He saw Miss Karenina standing behind the two, pink hair floating in the wind, cheeks flushed, brows and eyes full of spring; that delicate cute appearance melted Mu's heart in one glance.
"Hi~" He raised his hand with a pig face and greeted: "Hello, Sister Karenina~"
Karenina's gaze remained on Li Cheng the whole time, never leaving.
Hearing Mu's greeting now, to avoid leaving a bad impression in front of Li Cheng, she could only forcedly perform: "You too, Mu."
But very obviously, our War God's Son Mu didn't think much; hearing that milky voice, Mu only felt his heart melt once more.
That's right, this girl is captivated by my charm... Mu thought so.
"Right, Sister Karenina, roughly how many points do you have? Need my help?"
"Me?" Karenina tucked her hair behind her ear, roughly estimated.
In the Forbidden Magic Forest, she had fished for enforcement 5 times total, stripped 34 candidates of their clothes; counting those candidates' originally known identity badges, added up to 40 points total.
So she nodded: "Mhm, anyway it's over 5 points."
40 points, indeed over 5 points, no problem.
Hearing this, Mu was amused again; he only felt the chance to show off was right before his eyes, and hurriedly puffed out his chest: "Sister Karenina, getting this score is already pretty good, only a little behind me, hehe, if you work harder maybe you can catch up to me."
"Heh, you're quite something!" Karenina was forced to perform again.
"Right? Let me tell you, this is thanks to my transcendent combat IQ and unparalleled battlefield wisdom." Mu began boasting about himself.
But very obviously, Karenina didn't want to say more to him, only asked: "You still haven't said, Mu. If Li Cheng Brother gets such a high score, what will you do?"
"This..." Mu was a bit embarrassed.
"You wouldn't have the guts to bet but not the guts to put up stakes, would you?" Karenina was suspicious.
"What words, what words are these, I Mu have always been open and aboveboard, how could I be that kind of person!" War God's Son immediately puffed out his chest, Mu looked at Li Cheng contemptuously, righteously and sternly: "Hmph, if Li Cheng can get a perfect score, oh no, as long as he can get 50 points, I Mu will on the spot put his underpants on my head!"
"???"
Three big question marks floated above Karenina's head; she looked at Mu with a face full of creeped-out feeling, thinking in her heart, this guy isn't a pervert, is he.
Li Cheng also frowned: "If you want to go crazy, go crazy on the side."
"Cough cough, since you're unwilling." Mu dry coughed twice, cold snorted again, pointed at the still unconscious Old Silver Coin: "Then I'll on the spot put Xiu Si Da Er's underpants on my head!"
Li Cheng: "..."
Yenifer: "..."
Right then, exclamations rang out around the few people.
"That is, Full Moon Queen Adult has come!"
"And Order High Priest!"
"That is, Lady Yenifer!"
"Lady Yenifer, I want to be your dog!"
"War God Bas Adult, I want to be your dog!"
"..."
Several Legendaries walked out from the transmission array; their appearance instantly ignited the whole venue.
And these Legendaries, facing the candidates' cheers, merely lightly greeted.
Thus, the crowd's cheers grew even more fervent.
Mu saw this scene and scoffed disdainfully: "What's so special? Are legendary heroes born of a different breed? Sooner or later, I, Mu, will make these big shots receive me as an honored guest."
No sooner had his words fallen than the teacher group led by the Full Moon Queen walked toward his direction.
Mu instantly went dumbstruck. No way, my voice was this quiet, and they could still hear it?
Done for, done for, this is social death……
The moment he thought of his old man's Seven Matches Wolf, Mu trembled in heart and spirit and shut his eyes. But three seconds later, the anticipated reprimand and lecture did not arrive.
He tremulously opened his eyes, only to see the Full Moon Queen and the others gathered around Li Cheng, not even sparing him a single glance.
"Li Cheng, you did well."
The Full Moon Queen rarely smiled, and this one smile stunned the several Legendaries nearby.
You must know, the Full Moon Queen has always been known as a frost beauty who does not speak or smile lightly; the last time she smiled was back in…… Hiss, it seems no one has ever seen her smile.
And Li Cheng, looking at the Full Moon Queen, also wore a puzzled expression.
Strange, according to the plot flow, shouldn't this guy have already gone into slumber?
How is he still awake?
Is it a new plot line? It can't be that he stayed up a bit later just to see me, right? The Full Moon Queen was likewise sizing up Li Cheng, thoughts rising and falling in her heart.
In the previous round of assessment, this brat's style of conduct……
And that person, are really very alike, very alike.
Exactly like that big scumbag who conquered my own heart——Mister Buxi.
No good, once this assessment ends, I must tie this brat up and investigate thoroughly.
Thinking here, Full Moon's mood had some fluctuations, but she still suppressed it well and spoke: "We all saw the matter of the magic dragon; on behalf of all candidates in this Full Moon Academy assessment, I thank you for your help."
Jerryl's heart was already burning red with rage, yet he forced himself to maintain a nice-guy appearance, smiling as he produced a wand: "Li Cheng, you've rendered great merit this time; this relic is a reward specially bestowed on you by Dean Full Moon."
"You use it well, do not let it gather dust."
Li Cheng glanced at Professor Jerryl and accepted the staff.
【Old Staff - Abyss Imprisonment (Pink Divine Artifact):
【When killing Abyss Monsters through this wand, their souls can be bound, preventing them from returning to the Abyss; effective only on Abyss monsters below Tier 5.】
Li Cheng recognized this relic, and he also recognized this scum Jerryl.
Not only did he recognize them, this relic with imprisonment capability was an item he went to obtain in almost every playthrough.
After all, combined with another thing, this relic becomes a practical item usable into the game's late stage.
But, by all logic, this relic should only be obtainable after the entrance assessment ends, upon completing the academy side quest——Professor Jerryl in the Shadows.
Yet unexpectedly this time, it was actually obtained right now!
'I see, the new version relies on AI Technology to provide more diverse item acquisition methods? Freedom is getting higher and higher, Quantum Technology, you did well!'
Thinking thus, Li Cheng revealed his trademark Sunshine Smile: "Then many thanks to Professor Jerryl."
"Hehe, it's nothing, hehe." The humiliation in Jerryl's heart grew even stronger, but he still had to force himself to keep up the act of looking very happy.
Toying with his daughter, snatching his relic, and now, he even has to personally accompany a smiling face.
Humiliation, truly too humiliating.
In all his life, Jerryl has never been this humiliated!
"Mm, Li Cheng, I think highly of you." The Full Moon Queen nodded again: "Also, you need not worry about Xiu Si Da Er's matter; although by the original process, he who has lost combat power can no longer advance, for your sake we can make an exception once."
"Correct, you also need not blame yourself; no one wants Xiu Si Da Er to be injured like this, this is not your fault; if you must blame, blame the magic dragon."
The Order High Priest also floated over and patted Li Cheng's shoulder.
"Yes, take care not to let Xiu Si's injury become your heart demon."
The Furnace Archbishop also expressed concern.
Through the spectating just now, the crowd of Legendaries could already confirm that Li Cheng is that kind of little angel who would abandon his life for a friend.
Such noble people are also the easiest to morally kidnap themselves, thereby giving rise to heart demons.
So they all care deeply about Li Cheng's psychological health, fearing this genius might perish halfway.
"Then I'll thank everyone on Xiu Si's behalf." Li Cheng also put on an appearance of being incomparably moved.
Xiu Si must enroll; if this guy doesn't stay at the school, he'll go out to train, and in turn encounter many fortuitous encounters.
Those fortuitous encounters are also the capital with which he ultimately hides behind the scenes and reaps the protagonist's benefits.
If Xiu Si is allowed to enroll, then those fortuitous encounters……
Will all become his, Li Cheng's.
"Mm, then you rest well." The Full Moon Queen nodded: "After enrollment, come report to me; I will teach you personally."
After speaking, she flicked her sleeve and directly left, completely giving Li Cheng no chance to refuse.
This is the disciple-taking method the Full Moon Queen just thought of——since if I ask you, you might refuse me, then I simply won't ask.
I'll just treat it as your default agreement.
The Full Moon Queen felt she was truly too clever, to actually come up with such a good method.
"Ten thousand years ah, heh, I really…… resorted to desperate measures."
She murmured low, disappearing into the crowd.
And with her departure, the other candidates also began to whisper among themselves.
"That Li Cheng…… did he do something in the assessment?"
"Although he's a genius, but…… for so many Legendaries to come deliver things to him, isn't it a bit too……"
"Fucking sour, why doesn't the Full Moon Queen smile at me……"
"Heh, what's there to be sour about, our scores aren't necessarily lower than his!"
"But I'm still so jealous..."
And Mu, standing beside Big Boss, had already reddened eyes.
He had thought the Queen was coming to scold him, but did not expect she was actually coming to praise Big Boss.
To be honest, this was worse than scolding him!
Seeing a brother succeed in Chuunibyou was harder to bear than being punched himself! And recalling his own grand words just now—something about one day making all the legends treat him as an honored guest...
And look at Big Boss, now he had become an honored guest!
Ah, my End Point, was it actually Big Boss's Starting Point?
"Ah, since Mu exists, why does Cheng exist!" He let out a long sigh, flames igniting in his eyes: "But it doesn't matter, in this Assessment Race, Big Boss didn't collect many Identity Badges, his Score must be lower than mine."
"The Advantage is mine, I can still Counter-kill!"
