Chapter 61: Invitation from Dragon City University

Chapter 61: Invitation from Dragon City University

The small event had a major reaction.

Everyone forgot about the conflict between Meng Chao and Jin Zhanpeng and rose on their tiptoes to look ahead of them.

Even Ning Xueshi was a little stunned. She scowled. “Yan Feirou? What’s she doing here in a small regional mental strength test?”

The martial arts major of Dragon City University was definitely the strongest major in Dragon City. Every year, the minimum passing score for the course was tens of marks higher than for the second most popular course. It did not need any promotions, and it always looked down on the idea of promoting themselves.

Earlier, they had already sent a few representatives from Dragon City University to talk about their own majors, which made it obvious that Yan Feirou was slotted in spontaneously, so it was really strange.

“Big Sis Xueshi, do you know Yan Feirou?” Meng Chao asked.

“Her grandfather is acquainted with my grandpa. I suppose... we can be considered friends.” There was a rather stiff look on Ning Xueshi’s face.

She was indeed acquainted with Yan Feirou. When they were younger, they were compared to each other.

When it came to looks, both of them had their own specialties. But when it came to their families, the Ning family was slightly weaker than the Yan family. Besides, Ning Xueshi was a harvester. She was in a small field that had a higher requirement for professionality. She did know a lot of people who were not part of the harvesting circle of Dragon City Agricultural University.

But Yan Feirou was an Internet personality. There were tens of millions of citizens who practiced Ripple Force, and only a few people had never seen her lecture videos before. So her influence naturally could not be mentioned at the same time as Ning Xueshi’s influence.

Hence, their friendship was a little... fake.

“The martial arts course of Dragon City University has never participated in publicity events of this level. They don’t like to acknowledge even the Starlake Region, which is where they’re located, so why did Yan Feirou come to Tiger Forest Region?” Ning Xueshi felt a little displeased. Her spotlight had been snatched from her.

Before she could understand it, the people suddenly burst into a ruckus, and someone cried out in surprise. “Yan Feirous is heading toward Ninth High School!”

“Did she see me?” Ning Xueshi mumbled to herself.

When she thought about this, the lady of the Ning family moved past the excited boys from Ninth High School and the dumbfounded Jin Zhanpeng from Dragon City Construction High School. She arrived in front of Yan Feirou and gave a reserved smile. “Feirou...”

“Meng Chao? Meng Chao!” Yan Feirou did not even look at Ning Xueshi. She just kept waving at the people.

For a period of time, everything fell silent. It was so silent within a circle of ten meters that if a pin dropped, everyone would be able to hear it.

The students from Ninth High School and Dragon City Construction High School, Jin Zhanpeng, and Ning Xueshi went absolutely slack-jawed with shock.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fierce gazes that were as sharp as knives stabbed into Meng Chao.

With Chu Feixiong in the lead, all the boys from Ninth High School stared at Meng Chao. In their left eyes were the words “Impossible”, and in the right eyes were the words, “I really want to eat you while you’re still alive.”

Even Meng Chao was shocked.

He was really not familiar with Yan Feirou! Honest!

But it did not matter whether he was familiar with her or not. The Ripple Princess had already squeezed her way through the crowd and arrived in front of him. She grinned, took his hm, and did not let go.

“Meng Chao, hi!”

“Hiss!”

The sounds of people sucking in sharp breaths could be heard rising and falling.

Meng Chao’s face turned red, and he mumbled, “You can’t do this, Senior Sister Yan. We’re in public. You can’t do this.”

Yan Feirou’s eyes crinkled in happiness while she drew close to Meng Chao and whispered, “You’re the one who gave the demonstration for the Demonically Modified Ripple Force we saw on the video that day, right? Thanks, Meng Chao. Of course, we’re even more grateful to the Old Fire Relayer for contributing so selflessly to Yan Organization.”

“Right...” Meng Chao smiled wryly.

Naturally, he knew that Yan Feirou was trying to verify whether he was the person who was in the video demonstration of the Demonically Modified Ripple Force. That was why she kept holding his hand.

After all, he did not censor his hands in the video, and he even made sure to film them clearly. With Yan Feirou’s skills, she would know whether he was the real deal with just a touch.

And he had also deliberately released his status as the Old Fire Relayer’s disciple, the one who received all his skills. That was so that it would make it easy for him to pretend to be awesome while taking advantage of the knowledge from the future.

He roamed about the life science forum in the deep web all the time, so he had in-depth knowledge when it came to censoring stuff. He never thought about hiding his true self by just relying on a thin layer of mosaic, anyway.

‘The problem is, if you want to touch me, you could have just searched for a deserted place when it’s dark outside. It wouldn’t be too late for you to touch me all you like at that time! But you’re touching me in public! It’s indecent!’

Just as he expected, even Ning Xueshi’s gaze on them turned a little strange. Like a tiny creature with a sharp beak, she said warily, “Big Sis Feirou, what are you doing here?”

“Huh? Xueshi, you’re here too?”

It was at that moment that Yan Feirou saw Ning Xueshi. She was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly smiled and said, “I came to give Meng Chao some information. With his abilities, he’s very suited to register for Dragon City University’s martial arts course.”

“...”

The students were speechless. They looked up.

“Dragon City University’s martial arts course?

Ning Xueshi instantly became aggressive. She looked at Meng Chao, then at Yan Feirou. She was very puzzled and wary. “You know each other?”

“That’s right. Last year, Meng Chao made a mistake during his cultivation, right? He was injured badly, you know. Everyone knows that the Yan Family Ripple Force has benefits toward treating wounds and physiotherapy. He asked for my help online, and coincidentally, my grandfather was developing the Yan Family Ripple Force V2. He was in urgent need of volunteers to test the data. Meng Chao’s injuries were complex, and he fulfilled our requirements. That’s why we decided to work together.”

Yan Feirou smiled calmly. “Over the year, Meng Chao worked really hard. His talent and willpower shocked and touched me. We often talked about Ripple Force together, and slowly, we became good friends. Isn’t that so, Meng Chao?”

Ripple Princess winked at him.

Meng Chao was a little stunned. ‘Yan Feirou’s pretty smart. With what she said, she just provided a perfect explanation for my sudden boost of power.’ He immediately nodded.

Yan Feirou sighed in relief, and she smiled even brighter.

Before she came over, she had discussed things with her grandfather. Since the Old Fire Relayer did not want to reveal his true identity for the time being, he might also not want to reveal too many things regarding the source of his disciple’s strength.

If the Yan family could provide a cover for him, while he might not grow fond of them, at the very least, he would not grow to dislike them. They might even be able to close the distance between them.

After testing it, things progressed just as her grandfather thought they would. Yan Feirou could not help but become even more impressed with her grandfather’s experience.

When the students heard this, they were envious and jealous. They did not expect that Meng Chao’s luck would be so good. Even when he was injured, he managed to turn into a volunteer for Yan Corporation. He even gained the Ripple Princess’ favor. Seriously, he had such a blessing in disguise.

“Big Sis Feirou, even if you know each other, it doesn’t mean that Meng Chao is going to major in the martial arts course of Dragon City University,” Ning Xueshi said with a cold expression.

“Meng Chao’s understanding of the structure of monsters and rare materials is beyond equal among his peers. With time, he will definitely become an ace harvester. By that time, when countless strong martial artists kill superbeasts, they would respectfully ask him to harvest them. Why would he need to practice martial arts?

“Besides, if he really wants to practice martial arts, Dragon City Agricultural Course has its own martial arts course. With Meng Chao’s abilities, he can go for a double major. He can major in the resource course and minor in martial arts. That will pose no problem for him.”

“Dragon City Agricultural University?” Yan Feirous’s eyes crinkled with amusement.

“What’s the meaning of that? Dragon City Agricultural University is a Monster University. The fighting model of the Beast Soul Style our martial arts course created is absolutely comparable to the Overkill Style Dragon City University’s martial arts course created.” Ning Xueshi glared.

When Meng Chao saw that these friends were about to have their plastic friendship broken, he could only gather his courage to mediate the situation. “Senior sisters, I haven’t even gotten through my test yet. Who knows just how many marks I will be able to get. I might just be able to meet the minimum score for university and might even need to take prescribed medicine to regulate my health. How about this? Let’s wait until the mental strength test is over before we chat, okay?”

Ning Xueshi and Yan Feirou looked at each other and spoke simultaneously. “Sure, I’ll treat you to dinner, and we can talk then.”

This double entender caused all the boys to grit their teeth while they cradled their chests.

“We can talk about it later. Also, if I could just trouble you two to help me search for the information within your universities regarding the courses there? We have plenty of talented people in Ninth High School, and we have plenty of outstanding people. There a re plenty of us who want to get into Dragon City University and Dragon City Agricultural University.”

When he saw that the boys’ gazes were becoming really weird, Meng Chao quickly tried to mend the situation.

“That’s a small matter. Sure, no problem.”

Ning Xueshi and Yan Feirou agreed to it happily.

After much difficulty, he finally sent the two senior sisters away. Then, naturally, Meng Chao was subjected to the righteous stares from the boys.

“Be honest. What’s going on?” Chu Feixiong demanded sternly and forcefully in the name of justice. “If you dare to hide even the slightest bit of information, I’m going to kill you for the sake of justice!”

“Didn’t you hear her? After I was injured last year, I became a volunteer at Yan Corporation to recuperate. I learned Ripple Force V2. Didn’t I teach that to you some time ago? You can’t return kindness with enmity!” Meng Chao was very serious.

“What about Senior Sister Ning?” Chu Feixiong asked. “Didn’t they say that she’s very aloof? Why are you so close to her?”

“Her grandfather is an executive in Thunderbolt, and my dad recently opened a small resource recovery company. Coincidentally, he signed a contract with Thunderbolt. After they communicated with each other, we got to know each other.”

“No way.” Chu Feixiong was puzzled. “It’s that easy? Why are they so friendly with you, then?

Meng Chao thought about it. “They might have seen that I have a noble heart and only want to selflessly contribute to society?”

“Tsk!”

With Chu Feixiong taking the lead, all the boys flipped him the bird. “Just tell us how many days of milk tea and supper you’re going to treat us to this time! If it’s anything less than a month, we’re going to break all ties with you!”

“I know, it’s my fault for hiding things from you. It’s only normal that you’re not willing to forgive me. So, let’s just... break all ties between us. From now on, I’ll be the only one who can go to Dragon City University or Dragon City Agricultural University. I’ll look for Senior Sister Yan and Senior Sister Ning and have fun with them.”

Meng Chao had a dejected look on his face. “But without my buddies, even if I have plenty of senior sisters by my side, how can I truly be happy?”

“Don’t! Hang on, Big Brother Meng, Ace Student Chao, we’re just joking! Look at you, how could you not take a joke?”

Chu Feixiong immediately put on an obsequious look and flattered him along with the boys. “Bro, you have to bring us with you when you have fun!

Meng Chao nodded. “That’s the right spirit. Didn’t I ask the senior sisters for information circulated only within the universities just now? You can use milk tea and supper in exchange for them. We’ll try to get one set for everyone in Ninth High School. Will that do?”

“Yes, of course!”

They might have been joking, but if they could get the internal information about the key courses in the two famous universities, that would be very beneficial when they filled in their application forms. Thus, everyone cheered.

Jin Zhanpeng and the students from Construction High School had yet to leave. They watched everything like dumbfounded chickens. Their expressions were stunned and dazed.

“Hey, Construction High, aren’t you leaving yet?” Chu Feixiong saw them and said with a smile. “Should we photocopy a few sets for you? The internal information from Dragon City University and Dragon City Agricultural University are very hot items.”

“HAHAHAHA!” The students from Ninth High School laughed loudly, and the air was filled with a happiness.
