Chapter 13: with translation of chapter title

Who are you?

Lin Ke couldn't help but have the image of a black person question mark face. jpg appear in his mind again. - contains Lin Ke. Also "black person question mark face. jpg" is not a name.

Who are you, and what's your relationship with Mo Li Kidman?

We've never met before, so how come on our first meeting you drop such a domineering CEO-like harsh line?

Even Gao Qiang, who goes to eat fish with Lao Mo, doesn't have your balls.

I'm so scared.

Who I am doesn't matter; what matters is that someone you can't afford to provoke has taken a liking to Mo Li Kidman. Kid, open your eyes a bit—don't end up dead without even knowing how!

The burly man didn't answer Lin Ke directly, but continued to throw out harsh words.

Speaking, the burly man raised his right index and middle fingers, gesturing at his own eyes, then pointed at Lin Ke, indicating he would keep an eye on Lin Ke.

After throwing out the harsh words, he glared at Lin Ke with a fierce look for a while, then the burly man turned and left.

Lin Ke quietly watched the burly man finish showing off, watched him walk into a small group of upperclassmen, his face showing no expression.

This is truly an undeserved disaster.

No wonder the ancients of past lives always lamented that beauty brings disaster.

Beautiful women really can attract covetousness and bring conflict.

Even though Mo Li hasn't fully grown and is just a beautiful embryo, there are still some people with strange and evil fetishes.

Despise it!

However, he couldn't possibly, just because of a sudden threat, immediately distance himself from Mo Li, cut ties, and become strangers.

Lin Ke was merely trying to keep a low profile, focusing on his studies, not truly to the point of having no temperament at all.

Of course, if Mo Li herself chose to gradually drift apart from Lin Ke, Lin Ke wouldn't insist either.

He didn't have any special feelings for Mo Li; his willingness to act together and offer some convenient help was merely out of fellow-townsman affection.

In this world, Lin Ke is an outsider.

The Grand couple, especially Mrs. Grand, are among the few close ties Lin Ke has to this world.

Love me, love my dog: Lin Ke feels a closeness toward Mo Li, Jimni, Chris, and Christina, who hail from the Quett Islands.

With the other three not around, Lin Ke unintentionally shows special care for Mo Li.

After all, this is all due to mismatched mental ages.

"Lin Ke, why are you alone again? When you come out to play, you should loosen up a bit."

After joking around with a few newly acquainted young ladies, Mo Li saw Lin Ke standing alone on the lawn, dazed, and walked over with a glass of sparkling wine.

"Go play, have fun. I'm not really suited to this kind of occasion, so I won't force myself to join."

Lin Ke took a slight sip of wine and replied in his usual calm tone.

A group of half-grown kids imitating adults' socializing—he really couldn't muster any interest.

"You can gradually get used to it if you're not adapted."

Mo Li walked up to Lin Ke's side, stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the small groups scattered across the lawn, and said earnestly,

"Lin Ke, I know you wholeheartedly want to study hard and become a full wizard within four years. I want that too! But people need friends; that way, when trouble arises, someone can lend a timely hand."

Lin Ke turned to look at Mo Li and earnestly replied: "Rely on the mountain and it will fall; rely on the tree and it will run. Mo Li, people can only rely on themselves; relying on others is unreliable. Instead of thinking about making friends, you'd better spend more time and effort improving yourself."

Mo Li took a deep breath, gulped a mouthful of wine, then suppressed the urge to flip open Lin Ke's skull to see if his head was filled with paste, constantly reminding herself to be elegant and her conduct to match noble etiquette.

Damn elegance, damn etiquette!

If people can only rely on themselves, what does it mean that I occasionally think of relying on you?

Can I still have some hope in you?

Can I rely on you now?

"Just stay alone!"

Mo Li tilted her head back, drained the wine in her cup, then forcefully shoved the empty cup into Lin Ke's hand, and stalked off angrily.

Lin Ke raised an eyebrow, not caring.

It's normal for girls' minds to change often.

……

Gradually, more and more people gathered in this corner of the south lawn, and it became livelier.

Lin Ke stood apart from the crowd, watching the president of the Newblood Mutual Aid Society give the opening speech, watching everyone cheer and toast, watching him light the charcoal for a self-serve barbecue……

The liveliness belonged to them; Lin Ke only had inner peace and a firm goal.

The picnic mixer started in the morning, peaked at noon, and ended in the afternoon.

Lin Ke didn't waste time, doing two things at once: walking around while entering the hall of thought to review everything he'd learned over the past two weeks from start to finish.

Mo Li had drunk quite a bit; when leaving the south lawn, she could barely walk straight.

Several people offered to walk Mo Li back to the dorm, including the person the burly man said Lin Ke couldn't afford to provoke—a third-year student reportedly about to advance to second-rank wizard apprentice, one of the five vice presidents of the Newblood Mutual Aid Society, Lifusi Fulansi.

Mo Li refused them all, then spotted Lin Ke on the outskirts of the crowd, staggered over to him, slurring: "Lin……Ke, you……walk me home, okay?"

"Hmm."

Lin Ke nodded, didn't go to support Mo Li, letting her walk all wobbly, only speaking up when she was about to go the wrong way.

Behind him, the second-rank wizard apprentice who had someone else deliver the harsh words, Vice President Lifusi, stared at Lin Ke's back with a gloomy gaze.

"Enrik, are you sure you conveyed my meaning clearly?"

Lifusi turned his head to ask the burly man beside him.

"I'm sure."

The burly man Enrik nodded heavily and seriously, adding fuel to the fire: "But his attitude is contemptuous; he doesn't even put us in his eyes at all!"

"Good!"

Lifus laughed angrily, "Great! Find a chance to get him."

Originally, Lifus had merely glanced at Mo Li Kideman once, thought she matched his XP, and wanted to get her to play with.

Now it's not just about Mo Li Kideman; it's that Lifus feels his authority has been ignored.

Lifus's wizard aptitude is not high.

His innate mental power is only 12, he has high affinity for the light element, and a somewhat special point is that he has super affinity for the fire element.

By a fortunate coincidence, Lifus obtained a fragment of the high-level meditation manual "Anger Flame Meditation Method" and immediately switched to cultivating it.

After that, Lifus went smoothly, everything went as he wished, and gradually formed an overbearing character of speaking once and not changing.

Now that his face has been spat on, Lifus cannot help but burn with anger, wanting to burn Lin Ke to death in a fire.

The remaining reason kept Lifus from acting rashly.

Ruiwosuosi Biological and Medical College strictly enforces academic style and campus discipline; private fights are not allowed on campus.

After all, Newbloods who cannot become full wizards within four years can only be used as consumables; although they don't result in a loss, the profit is not great.

But rules are always made to be broken, or to find loopholes in.

Just because private fights are forbidden doesn't mean Lifus has no way to deal with Lin Ke.

And Lin Ke, who had first sent Mo Li back and then returned to his own dormitory, was also thinking about how to deal with this unwarranted disaster.

As for other things, Lin Ke wasn't worried either; he was just very concerned about his personal safety.

This world is one where the extraordinary manifests; with a weapon in hand, killing intent arises, let alone when one possesses extraordinary power.

After thinking it over, Lin Ke finally took out 2 gold coins and 63 silver coins from his package and went to the Life Services Building.

He decided to buy a weapon for self-defense.
