Chapter 39: Pathetic Yue Dapeng Gets Sorted Out by Lu Qingyu
Lu Qingyu called Yue Dapeng.
Yue Dapeng saw that there were classmates here, and it was Jiang Chen.
He instantly cheered and scampered over.
After running over and looking at Lu Qingyu and Jiang Chen, Yue Dapeng's eyes darted, and he gave a knowing smile.
"You two..."
Yue Dapeng was about to speak when Lu Qingyu coldly cut him off, "Close your filthy mouth, or this miss will tear you."
Lu Qingyu's proud temper is notorious, but only when she's with Jiang Chen does she temper it a bit.
After all, Jiang Chen is calmer; if Lu Qingyu were to act too proud, the two would have no need to interact.
At this moment, facing Yue Dapeng, her princess-like temper is unabashed.
Yue Dapeng jumped in fright, quickly rubbing his head and saying, "I was only joking, don't take it seriously, Miss Lu."
Lu Qingyu said coldly, "Stop looking for a team. When our cooldown ends, I'll take you to grind an Instance. Before the college entrance exam, reaching Divine Power Level 12 should be no problem."
Yue Dapeng let out an excited roar, "Really? You two are my great benefactors. The school I want to apply to, Divine Power Level 12 is enough; you are truly good people!"
"No wonder you're my classmate Yue Dapeng, truly righteous!"
Yue Dapeng's expression was so exaggerated it was unbelievable.
Lu Qingyu frowned, "If you keep being this over the top, I won't take you anymore."
She truly found Yue Dapeng's flamboyant act exhausting.
Yue Dapeng quickly surrendered, becoming serious as he said, "Miss Lu, rest assured, I will be honest, you say go east, I will definitely not
go west."
"Shut up, don't babble!"
Lu Qingyu frowned, and a Fireball suddenly materialized in her palm.
It seems that if Yue Dapeng says another word, the Fireball will fly toward his face.
Yue Dapeng, realizing the situation, closed his mouth and grew serious: "Lu, the campus beauty, have mercy, I just don't know how much longer your cooldown lasts."
Lu Qingyu considered the time and said, "About ten hours left."
That was a bit long for Yue Dapeng, but he knew that during that period he might not find a good team.
"Alright, you two rest and chat, I'll go grind some wild monsters, Brother Chen, go for it, I have confidence in you; you'll eventually win over Lu, the campus beauty, hehehe..."
After Yue Dapeng finished speaking, he left quickly; Lu Qingyu, angry, stomped, and a Fireball shot straight at Yue Dapeng.
With a bang, the Fireball exploded behind Yue Dapeng's rear, sparks splattering onto him.
"Aah!" Yue Dapeng shouted from the burn, covering his butt and fled hurriedly.
Lu, the campus beauty's temper is too volatile; after not seeing her for days, her anger grew, and one dares not provoke, dares not...
Lu Qingyu huffed, "This guy, his mouth is really cheap, deserves a beating."
Jiang Chen strongly agreed, yet had to admit that although Yue Dapeng's mouth is cheap, he's still a decent person.
When others kept their distance, only Yue Dapeng initiated conversation with him; even though Jiang Chen replied little, Yue Dapeng never felt annoyed.
Jiang Chen believed his feeling was correct: Yue Dapeng is a sincere yet goofy fellow.
Just don't know who sent this goofy guy!
Ten hours later, Yue Dapeng joined the team
and, with Jiang Chen as Team Leader, they entered the Nightmare-level Difficulty Instance.
The moment they entered the Instance, Yue Dapeng was the first to be terrified and collapsed on the ground.
"Hey hey hey, Miss Lu, Brother Chen, how did you get into Nightmare Difficulty?"
"Could it be that you chose the wrong difficulty outside just now?"
Yue Dapeng's face turned pale with fear; this is a Nightmare Difficulty Instance, not a joke.
Lu Qingyu hummed, "No idle talk, just follow behind, you don't need to fight monsters."
Yue Dapeng still wore a puzzled, panicked, fearful expression.
Lu Qingyu guessed that perhaps she had the same expression the first time she entered an Instance.
Sure enough, she secretly glanced at Jiang Chen; she had previously socially died in front of him...
Now it's Yue Dapeng's turn to see the world!
To preserve his life, Yue Dapeng clung tightly to Lu Qingyu, daring not to stray a step.
In the Nightmare-level Difficulty Instance, he knew that a mere touch from a monster would cause immediate death.
After ten minutes of grinding monsters, Yue Dapeng stared at the dead BOSS, still not closing his mouth.
"This... this... did the BOSS just die like that?"
Lu Qingyu looked at him, "Can you shut your mouth? Drool is spilling out."
Yue Dapeng wiped his mouth corner, then suddenly clutched Jiang Chen's thigh.
"Boss, Brother Chen, could you take me along when you grind Instances from now on? I'll be your accessory."
Lu Qingyu helplessly said, "Why are you so spineless, you Knight? Can't you show some Knight spirit?"
Yue Dapeng shouted, "What use is Knight spirit when the Boss is here, what need is there for a Knight?"
Lu Qingyu truly
Having no way to handle him, she simply chose out of sight, out of mind.
Jiang Chen was shimmering with a faint White Light.
He had already completed the upgrade.
Level 16 gives him full confidence to enter Shenlong University.
Grinding another Instance, Lu Qingyu can also reach Level 15, giving her a good chance to enter Shenlong University.
As for Yue Dapeng, his target is Jiangbei University in this province.
It is also a decent higher education institution, with requirements much lower than Shenlong University.
A Level 12 Knight already has sufficient qualifications.
The setting sun hangs low in the west, casting long shadows over everything.
On the South City Wall of Baiyun City.
Several principals stand together, looking at the suburbs beyond the wall.
"The children should be coming back, right?"
"Tomorrow is the college entrance exam day; I told them that they must return today."
"I don't know how tomorrow's exam results will turn out."
"Most people should be fine; it's just a matter of the school's quality."
"Lao Cheng, the two prodigies from your school, I heard their goal is Shenlong University as well."
Cheng Rushan's gaze never wavers as he looks into the distance, "Yes, Jiang Chen and Lu Qingyu both aim to take the entrance exam for Shenlong University."
"Shenlong University is the most competitive; based on past standards, only Level 15 has a decent chance, while Level 16 guarantees absolute safety."
"It's difficult."
"Level 15 still has hope; Level 16 is as rare as a phoenix feather, and in Baiyun City, besides Li Xinghe, it was Jiang Ruo last year who reached Level 16, right?"
"I don't know whether these two youngsters this year have any hope."
Cheng Rushan nods, "Believe in them; they can definitely succeed."
Jiang Chen and Lu Qingyu: one is Jiang Ruo's younger brother, the other is the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
Cheng Rushan thinks these two might even create a miracle.
Finally, someone appears within sight.
A principal says, "It's from our San Zhong."
Under the Detection Technique, the incoming person's level is laid bare.
"Yang Fan, Level 12, Sword Fighter."
That principal is very satisfied; Level 12 is enough to get into a better higher education institution.
Yang Fan also has some fame at San Zhong, being called one of the geniuses.
"My classmate Chen Kai from Er Zhong has also returned."
"Chen Kai, Level 13, Eagle-eyed Archer."
The classmates return one by one, while the principals continuously use the Detection Technique on the wall.
At this time each year, it is actually a pre‑exam grand contest among the principals.
Of course, it's all about saving face...
