《I Was Admitted To The Villain School》


 CH 1

    Late at night.


    Lin Xinghe raised her head and inspected the huge, high-tech gate in front of her. It was mostly blue, purple, and green making it lean towards the cyberpunk style (1).


    Two big, neon words blinked above her head¡ªVillain School.


    Borrowing the light, she glanced down at the lacquer scroll in her hand. Written in calligraphy were the two words: Admission Letter. She rolled it open and read¡ª


    Student: Lin Xinghe


    Our school has decided to admit you to the Modern Era Department to study reform. Please bring this letter and report to the school on time before dawn.


    Below, there was even the official seal of the Villain School.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the school gate and then at the admission letter. They had completely different styles. For a moment, she thought that she was at the wrong place. This strange sense of discord brought her to a standstill in front of the deserted gate and kept her from moving forward.


    It all happened so suddenly.


    In fact, she still hasn''t completely processed what happened.


    An hour ago, she was wearing a couture dress to the Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony in which her debut film "April and the World" was nominated for an award.


    From the director to the screenwriters, to the production team to the actors, the entire film was put together by unknown newcomers. Even so, it became this year''s dark horse.


    When Lin Xinghe stepped onto the stage to accept the Best Actress Award, she felt that her win was both appropriate and yet unexpected.


    She... This person... Her luck is incredible. She was shopping for snacks at the supermarket one day when she caught the eye of the director of "April and the World." She then successfully auditioned for a spot in the cast and went on to shoot the award-winning hit.


    But sometimes she''s really lucky and sometimes she''s not. Otherwise, the weather wouldn''t have turned violent right after she left the awards ceremony. The rain was pouring down so heavily and she was struck to death by a lightning bolt that was as thick as a tree trunk.


    There were so many people at the scene that were taller than her, but against all odds, she was killed on the spot with pinpoint accuracy. It was like she was holding a lightning rod.


    Before she could reflect on her brief life or even admire her charred remains, a burst of light rushed towards her. It pulled her soul into a strange place that was surrounded by nothing but a vast expanse of white.


    It was at that time that she found a scroll floating in mid-air.


    She reached out and touched it and the scroll fell into her palm. It was like she activated the switch to another world. The white void split apart as if it was cut open by a knife. The light disappeared and was replaced with this bizarre world.


    As soon as she looked up, she saw the unimaginable Villain School.


    ... Are you going in?


    ... You''re still not going in?


    The gate slowly opened to both sides.


    Rapid footsteps sounded.


    A tall, slender girl appeared in front of Lin Xinghe. She looked her up and down and said with a flat tone, "Classmate Lin Xinghe, right? Hello, I''m Lu Qin, the president of Class 1 of the Modern Era Department. I''m very sorry for making you wait. When I read the notice, I thought it said to come in the morning. I didn''t expect you to come here in the middle of the night." As the conversation picked up, Lu Qin suddenly asked her, "Have you killed anyone?"


    Lin Xinghe slowly shook her head.


    "What was your job before you died?"


    "Actress."


    "Ah, actors are the most useless. They''re not good at selling pork (2)."


    Lu Qin seemed somewhat disappointed and muttered: "Besides, it''s impossible for the Modern Era Department to get any good students..."


    Lu Qin''s enthusiasm dropped a little.


    ... This girl was an actress in her life. Most actresses are good-looking and the new classmate is no exception. Tender and petite. Her facial features are delicate like a porcelain doll.


    It''s tragic to be good-looking but incapable at this school.


    While Lu Qin was looking at Lin Xinghe, Lin Xinghe was looking at Lu Qin. Naturally, she didn''t miss her whisper.


    This place made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to leave but noticed a layer of gray all around. It was like a film and it covered the entire sky.


    Lu Qin said: "There''s no point in looking for a way to escape. You already died. If you want to be reborn, the only thing you can do is go to school. You can''t leave this school until you graduate. Do you see that boundary? It''s a gateway that connects to a different world. Before you get your certificate of completion, you can''t get out. Look down at yourself and be thankful. After coming to this world, you now have a body and are no longer just a soul."


    Lin Xinghe clenched her fist. The sensation was no different from when she was alive. At some point, the couture dress she was wearing had turned into a simple skirt that seemed to be part of a uniform. On her chest was the crest of the Villain School.


    Lu Qin suddenly seemed to think of something and the smile on her face widened. She excitedly grabbed Lin Xinghe''s hand and said, "Let''s continue on to the school. I''ll introduce you to our campus. It''s where you''ll stay for the next 1-2 years, or even the next few decades."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t say a word and followed Lu Qin to the school.


    Gusts of damp wind blew ahead.


    Beneath the two rows of street lights, there was a long bridge whose end was out of sight. On either side of it was a bottomless river.


    Lu Qin brought Lin Xinghe onto a tour bus.


    Over the ten minutes that they had walked along the bridge, Lin Xinghe learned that Lu Qin was the villainous fake daughter in a real daughter/fake daughter novel. She was scared that the real daughter would take everything away from her after she returned, so she secretly tripped up the real daughter and found people to kidnap her. Unexpectedly, the boyfriend of the real daughter, the male lead so to speak, found out about the kidnapping plot in time and made her the victim instead. In the end, she died at the hands of the kidnappers.


    "... Villain?"


    "Of course. Everyone who enters our school is a villain. Big villains and small villains. Anyone who gets in the way of the protagonist at some point is considered a villain." Lu Qin stepped off the bridge and pointed to some distant buildings and said, "Our school has four departments: the Modern Era Department, the Ancient Era Department, the Xianxia Department, and the Western Fantasy Department. Our Modern Era Department and the Ancient Era Department are on the east side. On the west side are the Xianxia Department and the Western Fantasy Department. The dormitories are further down, closer to the Xianxia Department."


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised.


    How could an upright youth with good roots like her become a villain?

 CH 2

    The dormitory was built in the same style as the school gate with the rich cyberpunk colours.


    Lin Xinghe was very calm at this moment. Now she wouldn''t even be surprised if there were buildings from outer space.


    There was no security guard at the entrance of the dormitory. It was quiet.


    Lin Xinghe followed the signage and easily found Room 303.


    The door was made of metal. The layer of glass on the upper half was broken. Cracks spread out from it like a spider web. The lower half was covered with mottled newspapers and the door was lined with green and purple lights.


    The styles of Room 304 and Room 305 were relatively normal. Both had simple, wooden doors.


    Lin Xinghe was silent for a second and accepted the setting calmly.


    She held the doorknob and pushed forward.


    The door opened.


    Her room was a single room. Fortunately, the inside wasn''t designed in the same style as the door. It was decorated in an ordinary modern style. It was about 16 square meters, similar to a small, high-end apartment unit. Though small, it was complete in every way. There was a small kitchen by the entrance which was equipped with an induction stove and a microwave.


    She opened the cabinets and found them full of pots and pans ready for use.


    Lin Xinghe found the freshman handbook on her desk. There was also a big gift box containing a mobile phone, a laptop, and a cyan bracelet.


    She quickly skimmed the freshman handbook.


    Every villain who has died in their original world and who has impressed the school are granted the opportunity to come study reform. The so-called ''reformation'' involves taking exams and earning points. After collecting a certain number of points, you will be able to complete your course, leave school, and start a new life.


    The most important thing in the school is points. Points are indispensable for food, clothing, housing, and transportation.


    Each person starts with 100 points but has to pay a fixed monthly expenditure of 50 points to cover the cost of tuition and housing. Once a person''s points hit zero, they will be expelled from school and die again.


    The main way to earn points is through examinations.


    The specifics about how to take exams were not written in the freshman handbook.


    After Lin Xinghe got a general understanding of the school, she felt a bit more at ease. Everyone was dead but still has the chance to resurrect. No matter what was tested, she just had to work hard and answer the questions.


    There was only one thing she still had doubts about¡ªWhy is she a villain?


    Her life went smoothly. It''s almost like she took the protagonist''s script. It was a bit tragic when she died but looking back on her short life, even if she wasn''t the heroine, she could still be the second female lead. How was she reduced to a villain?


    And she hasn''t done anything wrong in her life!


    This doubt was answered after she put on the cyan bracelet.


    As soon as she attached the bracelet, a transparent message box popped up.


    Name: Lin Xinghe


    Class: Class 1 of the Modern Era Department


    Points: 100


    Rank: D


    Lin Xinghe selected "Yes."


    Lin Xinghe, age 23, had an easygoing and gentle personality. She did not have much ambition and lived a simple life with no pursuits. After graduating from university, she was noticed by a new director, filmed "April and the World," and immediately rose to stardom. Her smooth ride in the entertainment circle gradually made her arrogant and the powers of fame and fortune made her forget her original goals. She couldn''t stand it when the little new flower, Lin Youyou, took her spotlight time and time again and repeatedly set up situations to trip up Lin Youyou. However, heaven is righteous and her plots ended miserably every time. Because of a storm of online criticism, she jumped down a 28-story tall building and ended her young life in a single stroke.


    Lin Xinghe: ? ? ? ?


    ... Who is Lin Youyou?


    Lin Xinghe thought about it for a long time and then vaguely remembered that there was indeed a person named Lin Youyou in the entertainment circle, but she was still a trainee who had yet to make her debut. Because she was beautiful and her family had some influence, she was frequently searched.


    But that''s not the point!


    The point is, Lin Xinghe doesn''t even know her at all! She never did any of these things!


    And she died by a lightning strike, not by jumping off a building.


    Is there a bug?


    She felt quite wronged. Everyone else is a real villain. At most, she was a quasi-villain, yet she was labeled as a villain when she didn''t do anything bad.


    But Lin Xinghe thought about it for a while and felt that it wasn''t a bad thing. Anyways, she was already dead. Now, she just had to study hard for the exam and earn enough points to revive. When she comes back to life, she''ll know what will happen in the future. She can avoid Lin Youyou and prevent the tragedy.


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe felt relieved, took a shower, and laid on the bed.


    She fell into a deep sleep as soon as she hit the bed, free of worries.


    Once a person has died, there is nothing left to fear or worry about.


    After Lin Xinghe got up the next day and walked to the teaching area, her view of the world was shaken again.


    When she was a university student, her campus was located in the suburbs and it was famous for being big.


    Most people chose to ride a bicycle or spend a dollar on the shuttle bus to go to the teaching building. Some people left half an hour early and walked there. A handful of students would drive luxury cars.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe stood on the spacious road and suddenly felt that the school''s architectural style wasn''t mixed and matched at all.


    Because there were students flying in the air on swords and also on brooms. The students on the ground were more normal. Some were sitting on the tour bus that she rode with Lu Qin yesterday. There were also bicycles and ordinary cars all around.


    And then there were people who were as light as a swallow, jumping on the roofs of cars with pointed toes.


    Everywhere she went, there was the sound of cursing.


    "It must be great to move lightly! Fucking putting your shoeprints all over my car!"


    "Bastard, don''t let me find out which class you''re in. Lao Tzu will burn you to death (1)."

 CH 3

    Lin Xinghe thought the magic broom wasn''t very practical. The broom was so hard that her inner thighs hurt. She was also wearing a skirt. Even though she was wearing leggings, her heart always felt a little uneasy.


    But it''s really fast.


    She admired the school''s scenery again in the sky. Seeing it on the ground is completely different from seeing it in the air. This school is really big. Beyond the buildings is a boundless sea. The entire campus sits like an island in the middle of the ocean.


    "You..."


    Lu Qin saw the intact Lin Xinghe and couldn''t help asking, "You didn''t go back to the dormitory last night?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I went back."


    Lu Qin said without hesitating, "There''s only one path back to the dormitory. Li..." She corrected herself and said, "Where did you take a rest? I was worried that you couldn''t find your way yesterday and turned back to find you, but I didn''t see you."


    "Oh... So it''s like this," Lin Xinghe tilted her head and said, "You could say I was unlucky. While walking I tripped and fell over the fence. It took me a while to climb back up and when I did, I was in front of the dormitory."


    She spoke seriously and without missing a beat as if it were true.


    Lu Qin laughed hysterically when she heard this.


    Why did the school set up fences on either side of the road? It''s because of the dangers that lie behind the fence. Once nighttime hits, the green plants behind the fence become full of aggression. Last time, two students from the Xianxia Department had a fight in the middle of the night. One of them fell and completely vanished without a trace. Lin Xinghe, this person, didn''t even blink while telling a lie. Is she a three-year-old kid?


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Class President, you can''t distinguish between ''N'' and ''L'' sounds. Are you a Southerner (1)?"


    Lu Qin didn''t think that Lin Xinghe would mock her Mandarin after acting like a three-year-old kid. After looking at her innocent expression, she suddenly felt too careless. Those who can enter this school are all fighters among villains. Female villains of the Modern Era Department are masters of tea ceremony and flower arrangement. This person looks like a white lotus (2). Last night she may have been pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger (3).


    Lu Qin was so angry that she didn''t want to act anymore and said with a cold expression, "Get out of the way."


    Lin Xinghe still wanted to say something, but Lu Qin already crossed the distance of three steps in the span of two steps. She didn''t take it to heart. Carrying her magic broom, she followed the signs and found her way to Class 1 of the Modern Era Department.


    There are thirty people in each class.


    The classroom is no different from the university classroom she''s experienced. Everything belongs to a modern environment.


    Lu Qin was sitting in the first row. Her expression immediately changed when she saw her.


    The seating arrangement was in the freshman handbook.


    Lin Xinghe quickly found her seat. She sat in the second-to-last row, next to the window. Her deskmate was a girl with a high ponytail. She couldn''t clearly see her appearance because she was hunched over her desk, sleeping.


    Lin Xinghe also observed the classmates around her.


    Most people seemed to be very tired. They were either like her deskmate, laying down on the table to sleep, or they were yawning continuously. Only a few classmates looked radiant, like the female classmate sitting in the last row by the back door. She was holding a small mirror and touching up her makeup. The elongated eyeliner outlined a pair of beautiful eyes that sparkled with brilliance.


    The homeroom teacher was a tall, young man with a rather indifferent appearance. He held a tablet in his hand. The moment he entered the classroom, he yawned lazily before asking, "Where were we yesterday?" Without waiting for an answer, he yawned again and said, "Oh, I remember. Today, it should be the ''Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra'' (4). You people should listen more to the Buddhist scriptures and cleanse your souls. Don''t think about harming others all day..."


    He seemed to think of something and then said: "Oh right, today we have a new classmate called..."


    The homeroom teacher flipped through the roster, yawned again, and said, "Lin Xinghe."


    The homeroom teacher looked at Lin Xinghe. His indifferent expression seemed to carry a few traces of sorrow and he said, "Cherish your days in school. The classmate who used to sit in your spot died within three months of coming here. No matter what kind of evil thoughts you may have had in the past, or the kinds of evil things you may have done, now that you have come to our school, you have to work on your character, harbour kind intentions, study hard, and take exams seriously to understand the true meaning of life..."


    "Yesterday, we talked about ''Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, nor sensations, nor perception, nor formations, nor consciousness; No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; No forms, sounds, smells, tastes, touchables or objects of Dharma; No sight-organ element, and so forth, until we come to no mind-consciousness element; There is no ignorance, no extinction of ignorance, and so forth; Until we come to where there is no decay and death, no extinction of decay and death (5).'' The meaning of this paragraph is..."


    The homeroom teacher lectured in a very perfunctory manner, reading the script word-by-word, and making the already drowsy environment become even drowsier.


    Lin Xinghe listened very carefully on her first day of class.


    "You don''t need to listen so seriously. You don''t even need to listen at all. The midterms and final exams are mostly rote memorization. You can score points as long as you memorize everything. New student, right? My name is Gu Taoyao."


    The voice of Lin Xinghe''s deskmate was surprisingly nice. It resembled the tinkling of spring water.


    When she turned her head, she saw Gu Taoyao looking at her. She said: "Every new villain that comes here thinks that they''re fucking amazing. At best, Modern villains like us know how to earn money through murder and cause trouble for the male and female leads."


    "Whatever you do, don''t provoke the Western Fantasy Department. Before coming here to reform, those big brothers would wipe out half the world with a snap of their fingers."


    "Also, don''t hang out with students from the Ancient Era Department. Those villains are always conspiring to overthrow the throne and become principal."


    "Oh right, the Xianxia Department''s grass, Xie Wuan, is a super big pervert. You absolutely cannot have any romantic fantasies about him."


    As Gu Taoyao said this, she wiped away the traces of sleepiness from the corners of her eyes. She continued: "These are all lessons learned through blood, sweat, and tears. I only told you this because fate brought us together by putting us at the same table."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Are there only written exams? I bought a tube of potion at the magic potion stall today. He said I could use his stamina potion in the exams."


    Gu Taoyao said, "Of course not. The rote memorization exams I mentioned aren''t important. Even though you can earn points from them, the number of points is too few to survive. You''re a freshman. You haven''t taken the official exam yet, but it''s coming up. I remember taking the freshman exam on my fifth day in the school."

 CH 4

    Lin Xinghe sorted out the rules of the villain school and confirmed that the thing she needs to worry about most is the freshman exam.


    After all, she doesn''t know what will be tested.


    And fear comes from the unknown.


    Gu Taoyao also didn''t know what exam room Lin Xinghe would be assigned to. All exam rooms are unknown beforehand. She''s been at the school for over a year and none of the exam rooms have been the same and the contents have always differed.


    But for the sake of keeping Lin Xinghe''s heart at ease, Gu Taoyao waited until noon and took Lin Xinghe back to her dorm room during the lunch break. She turned on her computer and opened the exam livestreaming platform.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled: "There are even livestreams of the exams?"


    "Of course there are. If there can be a Plane Mall, then of course there can also be a Plane Audience. We don''t know what world these people come from or if they''re highly intelligent creatures. They seem to be very interested in our exams. The school also collaborates with them so that each livestream of the exam room is shown to the students and to them. If you perform well in the exam room, you can get rewards from them and the rewards can be converted into points. But these points can only be used for purchases in the Plane Mall and won''t count towards your ranking."


    "Can our ranking points be used to buy things from the Plane Mall?


    "They can, but it''s not worth it. Only people who have too many points to waste would spend them in the mall, or people who don''t have any defensive skills that can save themselves. For example, our Modern Era Department is ordinary and mediocre. We can only survive by desperately earning points and buying life-saving equipment."


    Watching Gu Taoyao search for the livestream of the new students, Lin Xinghe asked a thoughtful question: "The ability to connect with worlds from different planes proves that the science and technology in this world has surpassed our Modern Era Department''s understanding. So why are we still using computers and phones? Why not more high-tech products, like optical brains?"


    "I had the same question when I came here. Later I learned that our Principal Wang is someone who loves cyberpunk. He''s hip and retro. It''s clear that the bracelets, which can make holographic projections, can completely replace phones and computers, but they limited most of its functions, giving us no choice but to use the phones and computers..."


    Speaking of this, Gu Taoyao said, "Hey. There actually haven''t been many new students lately so there are fewer freshman exams. Look, this is the freshman exam of the Ancient Era Department next door. The number of participants is ten. Because of the freshman protection period, there''s no elimination system. As long as you can live to the end, you are guaranteed points."


    There''s an island on the screen.


    It is broadcasted from the host''s perspective. Surrounded by tall grass, danger seemed to lurk all around and you could faintly hear wolves howling in the distance.


    The host is a young woman who appears extremely delicate, maybe because she''s from the Ancient Era Department. When the cyan bracelet displayed a pop-up with information about the exam room, she was a little flustered.


    The bracelet displayed the exam question?¡ª


    Please survive on the island for three days.


    Gu Taoyao commented: "This is actually pretty decent. It''s not difficult because there''s no elimination system. As long as she has a good relationship with the other nine freshmen in the Ancient Era Department and can find food and water, she can easily survive three days and get the guaranteed points."


    "Xinghe, look at this. The freshman exam of the Western Fantasy Department is a little more difficult. The exam room is set in an ancient battlefield. The exam asks them to infiltrate a battlefield and kill a soldier from the enemy country without using any of their abilities. It''s just a soldier, so in the end, it''s equivalent to a mob. Killing one is easy for the Western Fantasy Department, but it''s too bad that the exam question requires that they don''t use their abilities so it''s a little more difficult."


    Lin Xinghe noticed that the livestream also displayed the number of viewers.


    However, there weren''t many. The number of people watching the livestream of the freshman exam of the Ancient Era Department was a single digit. Although the number of viewers for the Western Fantasy Department was in the double digits, it was still just in the tens.


    Lin Xinghe said, "It looks like it''s not easy for newcomers."


    Gu Taoyao said, "Generally, very few people watch the Modern Era Department and Ancient Era Department. The Ancient Era Department does slightly better since they have people who know martial arts and poison masters. Some of the highly intelligent creatures like martial arts so there is a fixed audience for the Ancient Era Department. The livestream traffic generally focuses on the A rank and S rank students."


    Lin Xinghe got a good grasp of how the exams worked in this school. She said to Gu Taoyao, "You told me a lot. Thank you so much. I''ll treat you to dinner."


    Gu Taoyao shook her head quickly: "No need, no need. You''re new here. You should save your starter points."


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s okay. It doesn''t seem too hard to collect points. The vendor who sold me the magic potion today said that his broom is worth 50 points. I earned the equivalent of a minimum score on an exam today."


    Gu Taoyao: ... *sheds tears of envy*


    Before Gu Taoyao could respond, a message popped up on Lin Xinghe''s bracelet¡ª


    Lin Xinghe, please arrive at Exam Room A on time at 1 o''clock in the afternoon to take the freshman exam. Don''t be late. Don''t miss the exam. Candidates who miss the exam will be deducted 1,000 points as penalty.


    Gu Taoyao saw this message and was stunned. She said: "This is the first time I''ve seen a freshman exam be carried out so quickly. There''s usually a grace period of a few days after being admitted. The shortest period was only a day. Back then it was Xie Wuan from the Xianxia Department. You... This is too fast. Not even half a day..."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the time and said, "There''s still half an hour. I''ll head to the exam room first. I''ll treat you to dinner once I get back."


    She waved goodbye to Gu Taoyao and left on the magic broom.


    Gu Taoyao sighed with a tinge of emotion?¡ª


    Her deskmate''s mental state was too good.


    Actually, Lin Xinghe''s mentality has no basis, but no matter how bad a situation is it can turn around with a little bit of good luck. Because of this, she is more confident than the average person. On one hand, she believes in herself, and on the other hand, she believes in her luck.


    Besides, she analyzed it. The freshman exam won''t be too difficult for her.


    Firstly, the freshman exam is limited to Modern Era students; secondly, there is no elimination system; thirdly, she has a magic broom and as long as there are no restrictions on the exam question, it was basically a cheat.


    Lin Xinghe went back to her dorm room first and got changed into a uniform that was convenient for moving around.


    The wardrobe in the dormitory comes with school uniforms for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. There are skirts and trousers. It''s obviously not suitable to take the exam while wearing a skirt, in case you encounter an exam room like the one in the Ancient Era Department''s livestream. A skirt would be a burden on the island. Not to mention the mosquito bites, who knows if there are poisonous insects and snakes.


    Lin Xinghe thought for a while. Because the exam question is unknown, she has to make adequate preparations.


    She pulled out a backpack from the closet and packed some necessities from the dorm, including a flashlight, a lighter, and a thermos.


    She rode her magic broom to the cafeteria and found an ordinary supermarket. She spent some points buying some dry food and water. When she left the cafeteria, she smelled the fragrance of meat buns in the air and couldn''t help buying two.


    Afterwards, she finally rushed to Exam Room A.


    Lin Xinghe was the last to arrive.


    Exam Room A was an empty plain.


    There were currently a total of six people including Lin Xinghe. One of them was clearly a teacher, sitting behind a table with a stern expression.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the other four candidates.


    Two men and two women. Three of them seemed to be acquainted and were all carrying bulging backpacks. The remaining one seemed a bit timid, shrinking in fear.


    "I am your proctor, Mr. Qin. I will oversee this exam room. The exam is about to begin and the exam question will be announced after you enter the exam room."


    When his voice fell, a rift appeared in the air.


    The three people who knew each other took the lead in entering. The timid girl looked at Lin Xinghe and didn''t move. Lin Xinghe has never encountered a space-time rift before and thought it was interesting. She briefly paused in front of it.


    The proctor became impatient.


    "Don''t waste time. Hurry up and enter."


    Lin Xinghe stepped into the rift. A burst of bright light flashed before her eyes. After her eyes adapted, she found herself in an icy world with cold, howling winds.


    She was surrounded by whiteness. The candidates who entered with her were nowhere to be seen.


    At this time, the exam question popped up on her bracelet?¡ª


    Kill the Snow Woman and come out alive (The use of all magical items is strictly prohibited in this exam room). (1)


    Even though Gu Taoyao had classes in the afternoon, she quietly used her phone to open the exam livestreaming platform and entered Lin Xinghe''s livestream room.


    When she saw the test subject and the setting, she was shocked.


    What kind of freshman exam room is this?


    For Modern Era students, this can be considered hell mode, right?


    The livestreams of the freshman exam of the Modern Era Department have always received little attention, but this excessive difficulty instantly attracted a small group of people, including students and highly intelligent creatures from different planes.


    ¡¾Are the candidates being targeted? It would be a miracle to survive such a hard exam room.¡¿


    ¡¾But still, they''re just freshmen from the Modern Era Department. Huh? This candidate brought a magic broom. She got a high-level item before she even took the exam. Look, she''s got skills. ¡¿


    ¡¾A magic broom is useless here. Didn''t you see the rules of the exam room? Magical items are banned. ¡¿


    ¡¾... That magic broom was won from my stall. This person is a European Emperor!¡¿(2)


    ¡¾She''s not the only candidate who is lucky. She can''t go far on luck alone. Now magical items are banned, she''s dressed only in thin clothes and it''s super cold, and she has to kill a supernatural creature, the Snow Woman. This is hard.¡¿


    Meanwhile in the exam room, Lin Xinghe immediately took out a down jacket from her backpack. After bundling up, she carefully surveyed her environment.

    She looked at her surroundings. It was extremely desolate with a cold, biting wind. She brought a thin, portable down jacket, but although it can protect against the cold, it can''t keep the cold out for too long.


    She''s only been here for a bit, yet her hands and feet were already trembling.


    The freshmen who entered the space-time rift with her disappeared. They were all probably teleported to different locations.


    The sky is bright. She glanced at the time. It was nine o''clock in the morning.


    The school came up with such an exam question. Lin Xinghe guessed that they wanted to test their outdoor hiking ability first, just like with the freshman of the Ancient Era Department. Survive on the island?¡ªthe first test was about outdoor survival skills.


    Lin Xinghe rubbed her hands together and started moving.


    She climbed up to a high point first in order to look for a way down the mountain.


    Just as she climbed up to a high point, she suddenly heard the rumbling of a machine in the distance. She looked up and saw that it was a helicopter. Lin Xinghe didn''t ponder on it and immediately grasped the broom and waved it vigorously.


    The helicopter noticed Lin Xinghe and picked her up.


    Besides the pilot, there was a little girl with her head bowed down onboard.


    Once Lin Xinghe settled down, the pilot scolded her, "Didn''t you see the notice at the bottom of the mountain saying that there would be extreme weather and to take caution going uphill? A snowstorm is coming and you still choose to hike up the mountain? Do young people nowadays not know how to cherish their lives? Wasting national rescue resources."


    Lin Xinghe said very sincerely: "You''re absolutely right. I''ll never make such a stupid mistake again in the future. I will cherish my life and save the nation''s resources!"


    Lin Xinghe''s good attitude eased the tension in the pilot''s expression and his tone softened: "You''re lucky. I got a mission to rescue someone on the mountain. If you didn''t come across me, you would have froze to death or been buried under the snow when the snowstorm hit. This mountain is very evil. Sixteen people have died when they came here to explore the legends. If I came late or didn''t see you, then you would have been the seventeenth."


    When Lin Xinghe heard this, she focused up and asked: "What legend?"


    The pilot''s expression shifted and in a lowered voice, he said: "Don''t ask so much and don''t go anywhere you shouldn''t be in the future." After that, he stopped speaking. When Lin Xinghe saw this she didn''t ask any more questions.


    She glanced at the little girl sitting next to her.


    The girl looked to be only three or four years old. She was wrapped in a green military blanket and the exposed halves of her ears were pale from the lack of blood flow.


    The pilot turned the helicopter around and left the snow mountain, saying that he had received a rescue mission and it was probably to rescue this little girl.


    That''s strange.


    How did this little girl, who seemed to be no older than five years old, go up the mountain?


    Lin Xinghe took a candy out of her backpack and offered it to the little girl beside her. She asked softly, "Little Sister, do you want to eat candy?"


    The little girl finally raised her head, revealing a pair of round eyes.


    Her face was entirely covered with some sort of filth. It was thick and dirty. She glanced at the candy in Lin Xinghe''s palm, didn''t say a word, and drew back again.


    The little girl shrank and buried her head lower.


    Before long, Lin Xinghe and the little girl were sent to the rescue center.


    A relevant staff member came to ask about Lin Xinghe''s situation. When they saw that she was okay, they let her leave, but the little girl suddenly grabbed Lin Xinghe''s hand and refused to let go.


    The staff tried to persuade her to stay and finally couldn''t help but say to Lin Xinghe: "Her father has already been notified and is on his way from the city. Our place is a bit remote. We don''t expect him to arrive until tomorrow."


    Lin Xinghe thought about it and said, "It''s okay. I came here to sightsee and have nothing else to do. I can help take care of her for a night."


    "That would be perfect. You can stay with her and rest in our rescue center tonight. There''s a resting room over there that has hot water and a bathroom."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t have parents growing up, nor did she have brothers or sisters around her. She fell in love as soon as she saw this little girl who looks like a piece of mochi. She took the little girl by the hand and went to the resting room.


    When the helicopter descended, she observed the small town at the base of the mountain. It wasn''t big. It was clearly twelve o''clock at noon, but there was almost nobody on the streets. There was snow everywhere and it was deserted like an abandoned town.


    The rescue center was also very rudimentary and the facilities in the room were relatively old. Regardless, the heater, bed, bathroom, and hot water already made a world of difference from the freezing conditions on the snow mountain.


    Gu Taoyao let out another emotional sigh for the European Emperor at the same desk!


    They all stood on the same starting line. The other four freshmen were still on the snow mountain, huddling together for warmth. They found an abandoned cabin and were facing the oncoming snowstorm.


    Meanwhile, her deskmate has already flown down the mountain on a helicopter, acquired a heated room with hot water, and encountered an NPC suspected of playing a major role!


    Several barrages floated across the deserted livestream (1).


    ¡¾This newcomer is really lucky. She already solved the initial survival problem. ¡¿


    ¡¾How can the person who took my magic broom for a tenth of its price have bad luck? ¡¿


    ¡¾It''s hard to say. After all, she has to kill the Snow Woman. ¡¿


    ¡¾The little girl NPC might be bad news. It''s not necessarily a good thing to be taken straight down.¡¿


    ¡¾The livestreams of the Modern Era Department are boring but at least they''re better than the Western Fantasy Department. Watching them fight is like watching a CGI movie. Add in the Xianxia Department and it becomes chaos. ¡¿


    ¡¾Get lost. Don''t chat if you don''t like to watch. ¡¿


    ¡¾Heh, every dimension has a troll that wants attention.¡¿


    Lin Xinghe couldn''t see the chat. She bent down and asked the little girl: "What is your name?"


    The little girl didn''t say anything and clenched Lin Xinghe''s hand tightly.+

 CH 6

    Lin Xinghe quickly finished her bento.


    The little girl took her time eating.


    Lin Xinghe leaned her chin on her hand and observed the little girl.


    This was Lin Xinghe''s first time seeing such a creature. She didn''t know if it could be considered human. A normal human wouldn''t have such eyes and mouths, much less stick to the ceiling so easily.


    But she won''t be afraid.


    She had mentally prepared herself for this kind of thing before she went into the exam room.


    She already thought this far after she came to the school and learned of the existence of the Xianxia Department and the Western Fantasy Department. Everyone who comes here to study is a villain and the villains in these two genres are usually not human.


    So with this mental preparation, Lin Xinghe was even a little excited when she saw the little girl¡ªshe finally saw a supernatural creature! Ah! So scary hahahahahaha!


    Don''t be scared anymore!


    You''re lucky!


    Go with the flow! You can definitely turn this situation around!


    Lin Xinghe initially thought she ran out of luck when she was struck to death by lightning out of nowhere. But after coming to the Villain School, she began to think her luck wasn''t over just yet.


    Even though she landed the villain''s script, she was offered the chance to be reborn later on. When that time comes, she can return to her original world and reverse the plot.


    She could feel God''s love again.


    Of course, the livestream''s audience didn''t know what Lin Xinghe was thinking inside.


    From their point of view, Lin Xinghe was smiling kindly at the monster and making small talk with it.


    "Are these four mouths just for decoration? They can''t chew?"


    The little girl continued eating.


    Lin Xinghe said again: "Let me tell you something. Don''t be ashamed because you have five mouths. In this society, the more you stand out, the easier it is to succeed. Listening to you eat, I can hear that you have a sense of rhythm. In the future, maybe you can even start a five-man band. Once the stage lights hit, it''ll just be you and your five mouths! The audience will love it! We can even make up a tragic life story for you. The coaches will cry for you! The audience will chant your name!" (1)


    Little girl: ......


    "What''s your name? Can you speak? You''re not human, right? Are you a monster? Or maybe you''re Xue Nu (snow woman)? The neighbouring island calls Xue Nu as Xue Ji (snow woman). If you don''t have a name, how about I give you one? You came down from the snow mountain and you''re also a little girl, so Xiao Xue Ji (little snow woman)? But it sounds a bit like Xiao Xue Ji (primary school chicken)..." (2)


    Lin Xinghe looks tender and petite. She speaks softly, but the words that came out of her mouth were so infuriating that Little Xue Ji was too angry to eat. Her five mouths drew back into a vicious snarl and her pupils instantly turned blood-red.


    Lin Xinghe: "... It looks like you can''t speak. You don''t know human language? Or does your species have its own language? Can you say a few words for me? Maybe I can communicate with you and help you out."


    Little Xue Ji suddenly deflated like a ball and glanced at Lin Xinghe listlessly. The four other mouths on her face disappeared. Her blood-red pupils also became black again and shrunk to the size of a normal human''s. With her snow-white skin and jet-black hair, she seriously looks like a cute mochi ball right now.


    Even if she''s a monster, she still looks cute. She has to pet her!


    Lin Xinghe gave Little Xue Ji a fierce head rubbing.


    Little Xue Ji turned away aggrievedly and continued eating her bento.


    When she finished eating, Lin Xinghe said sweetly: "I''ll help you tie a small braid, okay? That way your hair won''t block your face when you stick to the ceiling later."


    Little Xue Ji finally responded for the first time.


    She shook her head adamantly.


    Lin Xinghe said: "High ponytail?"


    Little Xue Ji shook her head.


    Lin Xinghe: "Runaway Disney princess hairstyle?"


    Little Xue Ji shook her head.


    As an actress, Lin Xinghe learned a lot about styling from her makeup artist. She has a pair of skilled hands. Give her a head of hair and she can produce a variety of hairstyles.


    She patiently listed hairstyle after hairstyle to Little Xue Ji. Little Xue Ji finally gave up her meaningless struggle after ten minutes.


    ¡¾I just joined the livestream. Can someone tell me what type of exam room this is? Have the standards of Modern Era exam rooms fallen this much? Isn''t this just a parenting show?¡¿


    ¡¾No no no. This exam room is scary but the candidate is too fucking powerful. She forced this scary exam room to become a family playground.¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahaha I feel like this mob has ''Don''t touch me'' written all over it. It wants to resist but it''s helpless. This candidate is the devil!¡¿


    ¡¾This mob is too weak. It''s even playing into the hands of a powerless Modern Era freshman.¡¿


    ¡¾Oh no, you don''t understand since you just joined the livestream. The mob tried to attack the new student but she''s the European Emperor. She dodged every time! I don''t know if that should be called strength or luck.¡¿


    ¡¾Everyone should go look at the other candidates in this exam room. You will understand just how great of a European Emperor the new student is just by comparing.¡¿


    The other four freshmen who entered the exam room with Lin Xinghe were currently shivering in the abandoned cabin.


    One of the freshmen used to be an outdoor survival enthusiast and had a plethora of outdoor survival experience. There was even a time when he survived for half a month on a large snow mountain.


    In this extreme environment, he naturally became the backbone of the four.


    Chai Yong has been at the school for ten days. He was a villain in an outdoor survival novel. He did whatever it took to win competitions. Somewhere between 500 to 1,000 people have been screwed over by him.


    He considered different possibilities before entering the exam room. He tricked two young freshmen into teaming up with him and used the combined points to purchase enough supplies.


    You can buy anything at the small supermarket at school as long as you are willing to pay points.


    He paid an entire ten points to buy an item he can use to attack or defend. He only bought enough food and water for himself.


    Chai Yong is nearly 2m tall, weighs 95kg, and has a beard. In the snow, he looked like a huge bear.


    His voice was thick and coarse. You could immediately tell it was the voice of a long-term smoker.

 CH 7

    The staff hesitated.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly burst into tears and said: "... Sister, tell me where his wife lives. I promise I''ll only take a look from far away. I won''t bother her. I''ll give up as soon as I take a look. He has a wife, but he lied to me about being single. He lied to me about his feelings. It''s not worth it to waste my feelings on this type of douchebag. I''ll just take a look¡ªa look from really far away¡ªand move on."


    She cried like a pear blossom carrying the rain (1).


    The staff is also a woman and women are the most empathetic. Seeing how Lin Xinghe was only a young girl who was deceived, she couldn''t help but soften up. She handed over an address to Lin Xinghe and whispered, "Sister Meng is a pitiful person. Just look from far away. Don''t disturb her."


    Lin Xinghe got the address and immediately left the rescue center.


    There is a small town at the base of the mountain. There weren''t any high-rise buildings. The houses were all self-built and short. Most of them were only two-story. There was hardly anyone on the streets. For each house, the door was closed shut and the curtains were drawn tight.


    Only a few shops were open for business. One or two silhouettes could vaguely be seen through the thick hanging screens that kept out the wind. They were all female.


    A Door God was posted on every home''s door (2).


    The most common Door Gods are Shentu, Yu Lei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, and they are always painted on red paper. But in this town, the Door God was a woman wearing a red dress (3) and she was painted on white paper. She had black hair that fell to her feet and a small, palm-sized face that lacked any facial features.


    This woman was on every door.


    It was two o''clock in the afternoon, the most lively time of the day. Still, Lin Xinghe got goosebumps just looking at this scene.


    She soon found the door to Sister Meng''s house which was shut tight like all the other houses in this town.


    She tried knocking.


    Nobody answered.


    ... There must be someone inside the house. If not, the staff wouldn''t have given her an address and would have said that Sister Meng wasn''t in town.


    Lin Xinghe knocked on the door again: "Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? I''m here to return the money."


    There was finally movement inside the house. The window to the right of the door was pushed halfway open. A face poked out, looking at her with a wary expression: "Who are you? What money?"


    It was a woman in her 30s or 40s. She should be Sister Meng.


    Lin Xinghe said: "I take it you''re Sister Meng. Your husband lent me some money a few years ago. I was in a rough financial situation and didn''t get to pay it back. My conditions are better this year and I saved up enough money..." She patted her backpack, "I can''t get over the burden in my heart when I owe someone money. I wanted to pay him back in person, but I couldn''t get in touch with him. I remembered him mentioning this address before so I came here. Don''t worry, I included the interest for the past few years."


    As she said this, she sneezed.


    "... It''s really cold outside. Can I go in for a cup of tea? I''ll leave after I finish returning the money and drinking the tea. I won''t trouble you."


    Sister Meng glanced at her a few more times. Thanks to Lin Xinghe''s harmless, well-behaved appearance and her sincere tone, she let her in.


    Lin Xinghe entered and calmly assessed her surroundings.


    In the illusion, there was a pool of blood beneath the male corpse. This carpet wasn''t here.


    It looks brand-new like it hasn''t been used for very long.


    The walls were very clean without any traces of bloodstains but there was the faint smell of paint.


    Lin Xinghe finished her assessment and asked Sister Meng: "Was your house renovated recently? The smell of paint is a bit strong."


    "Things naturally get old after being used for a long time. I repainted the wall a few days ago." Sister Meng brought over a cup of hot water and sat down on one end of the sofa. Her expression was haggard and there were unconcealable dark circles under her eyes. After sitting down, she kept clenching the corners of her clothes. She looked very uneasy.


    Lin Xinghe asked: "Is your husband home? I want to thank him in person."


    "No, he''s away on business. How much do you owe him?"


    Lin Xinghe said: "He lent me 5,000 yuan a few years ago. I''ll pay you 6,000 yuan after interest..." She opened her backpack and pretended to reach for the money. When she looked like she was about to pull it out, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister Meng, why do I smell blood? It seems to be coming from over there by the carpet..."


    Sister Meng''s expression stiffened slightly and she said, "No, I just swept the house."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Oh, then maybe there''s something wrong with my nose. By the way, which Door God is posted in this town? Is it the Snow Woman? I heard a legend that your town has a Snow Woman... I heard your husband mention it a few years ago too. He said that the Snow Woman..."


    Sister Meng, who had been restless until now, stood up abruptly and her voice became sharp: "There is no Snow Woman. You outsiders shouldn''t believe in rumours. I don''t want the money. Hurry up and leave."


    Having got the information she wanted, Lin Xinghe didn''t stay much longer and obediently left Sister Meng''s house.


    Lin Xinghe gained a lot of intel from this trip and she proved one matter.


    The illusion created by Little Xue Ji was taken from real life.


    Sister Meng''s husband who was in the illusion was already dead.


    But neither the staff at the rescue center nor Meng Sister mentioned a word about his death. On the contrary, they tried to conceal it.


    ... Why?


    The sky was already dark by the time that Lin Xinghe walked back to the rescue center.


    The town was even more deserted in the early evening. None of the houses turned on their lights. Only the streetlights that came on one after another illuminated the town.


    And under the dim streetlights, the red-clad woman acting as the Door God on all the homes looked even creepier.


    The woman obviously had no facial features, but it felt like each one she walked past had a pair of eyes that followed her every movement. She felt like she had a thorn in her back.


    Lin Xinghe finally met up with the other four candidates when she returned to the rescue center.


    Frozen pale and shivering head to toe, they were huddled by the heater sipping hot water. The group looked tired and haggard. The girls'' faces were bruised from the cold.


    Chai Yong and the others were surprised to see Lin Xinghe, especially when they saw her alive and well, carrying a backpack, wearing a thin down jacket, and having such great spirits it''s like she just ate. Their expressions were just splendid.

 CH 8

    Tang Xin was an especially timid villain. The one time she finally mustered up the courage to confess her love she just had to die. She came to such a dangerous place after death and now she was forced to enter this kind of exam room. She has nowhere to turn to and cry.


    Chai Yong collected her points and took her down the mountain. It was originally a transactional relationship, yet now he was throwing a tantrum at her and making it clear that he views her as an easy target to bully.


    Tang Xin was unwilling to put up with him, but she didn''t know how to push back.


    She went back to her room with a wooden expression.


    She turned on the lights and was nearly scared out of her wits.


    The eeriest painting was hanging on the center of the wall.


    It was a painting of a red-clad woman with long, flowing hair and a small, palm-sized face devoid of any facial features.


    The room was heated but at this moment, she felt the temperature plummet over ten degrees. It took her a long time to recover her frightened soul which had wandered away. She shakily moved a chair over, stood on it, and removed the painting.


    She rolled it up and stored it in the cupboard.


    She was completely exhausted by now after climbing down the mountain for five or six hours. She laid down on the bed and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. After a while had passed, Tang Xin felt a cool breeze next to her ear. Her eyelashes trembled. She opened her eyes and immediately screamed in terror.


    The painting was hanging in its original place again.


    The woman in red still didn''t have any facial features. Maybe she was imagining things but she felt like the woman''s face was slowly distorting. She was so scared that all her sleepiness disappeared. She sat up tremblingly and grabbed the bedsheets with one hand and quickly shuffled backward but when she touched the head of the bed, she felt something wet drip down.


    She stretched out her hand. It was dark, crimson blood.


    Her whole body seemed to freeze from head to toe.


    She could feel a small, cold, child-like hand slowly reach out from behind her. It stroked her cheek.


    She turned her head.


    There was a face with five mouths. Its bloody mouths opened wide and the blood-red eyes reflected her weak and powerless image.


    Tang Xin sat on the bed, completely paralyzed with fear. She watched helplessly as the five gaping mouths approached her slowly and bit her hair.


    With a sneer, the five-mouthed monster ripped off half her hair with one strong bite. It giggled. Kekeke.


    There was a sudden knock at the door.


    Knock knock knock. The rapping was loud and rapid. It was accompanied by a pleasant voice: "Open the door."


    Tang Xin recognized it as Lin Xinghe''s voice.


    At the same time, the monster cowered next to her and vanished in the blink of an eye.


    When she fixed her eyes on the wall she noticed that the painting had also returned to its original state and the face of the faceless, red-clad woman was no longer distorted.


    Tang Xin''s body was suddenly hit with the aftermath of surviving a crisis and she frantically stumbled her way to the door. Once she saw Lin Xinghe, she immediately threw herself at her without thinking.


    "Th-There''s a ghost..."


    Lin Xinghe said: "I''ll go in and take a look."


    Tang Xin didn''t dare to go back in but looking at the empty corridor, she was overcome with fear again and she clutched Lin Xinghe''s arm tightly and went in with her.


    Lin Xinghe was unfazed after seeing the painting on the wall. Her eyes darted around and finally, she asked in a calm voice: "What type of ghost did you meet?"


    From her tone, it sounds like she had the same encounter.


    Tang Xin said anything and everything she knew. After she finished, she saw Lin Xinghe looking at her with a thoughtful expression. She murmured: "Sure enough, it''s just as I suspected..."


    Lin Xinghe started to head out of the room.


    Tang Xin hurriedly said: "Wh-Wh-Where are you going?"


    Lin Xinghe tilted her head and looked at her.


    Tang Xin said: "Let me follow you. I-I can give you ten points. Don''t leave me alone."


    Lin Xinghe was surprised: "You can even trade points with other candidates?"


    Tang Xin said: "Chai Yong asked me for five points as a deposit and promised to take me down the mountain. He scanned my bracelet. Our transaction was successful," Tang Xin hastily raised her arm and added, "You can scan my bracelet right now."


    Lin Xinghe was a little moved but on second thought, she knit her eyebrows and added: "No, that''s wrong. If points could be traded in the exam room, the big shots from the other departments would have graduated a long time ago. So why would they stay in school? There are also teachers proctoring the exam room and the role of a proctor is generally to oversee the discipline of the exam room and to prevent cheating... They practically left out the rules of the exam room when we entered. It might be a trap."


    ¡¾The new host is really smart. So many freshmen have fallen for this trap the first time they entered the exam room.¡¿


    ¡¾Chai Yong is screwed. He''ll be punished later for taking Tang Xin''s points.¡¿


    Gu Taoyao didn''t tell Lin Xinghe about this rule of the exam room. This is one of the principal''s evil tastes¡ªbanning older students from telling new students about this rule. Most students who have fallen for this trap wouldn''t go out of their way to tell the new students anyway, hoping that others will suffer the same loss and make them feel better. She didn''t expect her deskmate to deduce this rule by raising one and inferring three (1).


    Tang Xin thought it made sense too after listening to Lin Xinghe''s analysis. Stammeringly, she said: "I... I can do other things. I... I can do anything. Let me follow you..."


    Lin Xinghe said: "You''ll do anything?"


    Tang Xin just wanted to save her life at this moment. Besides, Lin Xinghe was also a little girl. How dangerous could it be? She nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes. I''ll do anything."


    "If yes, then follow me."


    Tang Xin followed Lin Xinghe back to her room.


    She entered and saw the eerie painting again and it was hanging from the exact same position, except that... the faceless woman now had rather... cute facial features drawn on top.


    Lin Xinghe said: "Oh, I drew that. Isn''t it cute?"


    The painting was originally a horror piece, but its style completely changed after adding kaomoji features. It should have given off the feeling of a monster crawling out of the abyss with an aggressive roar. Now that monster''s face was a cute emote. After chasing you around, the giant abyssal beast used all its power to summon a weak and innocent ''meow'' (1).


    Tang Xin forced herself to say with sincerity: "It''s cute."


    Tang Xin was shaking from fear earlier but now she had completely calmed down. Lin Xinghe asked her, "Do you know where Little Xue Ji ran off to? The one who just attacked you."


    Tang Xin was a bit dumbfounded: "Little Xue Ji?"


    "Yes, it''s the name I gave to the one with five mouths. She''s a little girl but she''s not human. I''m not sure if she''s the Snow Woman. If she''s not, she''s probably related to her."


    Tang Xin said: "I... I don''t know. Sh-She disappeared after you knocked on the door. I didn''t pay attention to where she went..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Here, do me a favour."


    "What kind of favour?"


    "Come with me to the file room. Keep a lookout for me and warn me when someone is coming."


    "The file room?"


    "Yes, the pilot of the rescue team mentioned that sixteen people went missing. These sixteen people must have called for help. There must be a record of them on file. I want to know the exact people who went missing."


    Tang Xin sighed with relief and said: "Okay, that''s not a problem."


    The two easily found the file room.


    It was locked.


    Tang Xin asked: "Wh-What should we do?"


    Lin Xinghe said: "There''s always a way to open it."


    She touched the lock and it unexpectedly opened.


    But Lin Xinghe was not surprised at all: "God helps me..."


    Tang Xin: ... What kind of luck is that? Is that a 100% wish-granting ability?


    Lin Xinghe reminded her again before going in: "Call me when someone comes."


    "Okay, no worries."


    "If Little Xue Ji comes, hold her off for as long as you can."


    Tang Xin shuddered: "This..."


    Lin Xinghe said: "Don''t be afraid of her. I studied it. She feeds off fear. As long as you produce fear, she can attack you and even take your life. But if you''re not afraid of her and ignore her illusions, she can''t do anything to you. This is one of the reasons why I think she can''t be the Snow Woman. These kinds of monsters are generally low-level monsters. Their weaknesses are too obvious. In short, don''t be afraid. Just treat her like a three-year-old girl."


    Tang Xin: ... That three-year-old girl just bit off half my hair!


    Lin Xinghe finished explaining and entered the file room.


    Perhaps because of good luck again, it didn''t take her long to find the files of the sixteen people who went missing on the mountain. She flipped through them one by one and made a discovery¡ªAll sixteen people were male and none were from the town. They were all outsiders.

 CH 9

    Lin Xinghe thought it was strange.


    The missing people were all outsiders, but the dead man in Little Xue Ji''s illusion was somebody from this town.


    Unable to determine the reason for this, she used her phone to photograph the files of the sixteen people in case she missed anything important. When she finished, she left the file room.


    Tang Xin who was keeping watch outside was relieved to see Lin Xinghe come out. She immediately glued herself to Lin Xinghe''s arm like she found her saviour.


    Lin Xinghe asked her, "Did Little Xue Ji come?"


    Tang Xin shook her head.


    Lin Xinghe said, "This town is really strange. Sixteen people have disappeared and all of them were male. The staff at the rescue center is also really suspicious. She tried to hide the fact that people go missing often. She also didn''t want to reveal that someone died in this town..."


    Tang Xin said, "Maybe she''s worried that tourists would stop coming here if they knew?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "That''s possible. But she didn''t tell me that the deceased was murdered despite knowing that I was his lover. That changes things. On top of that, I haven''t seen any men in this town."


    Tang Xin was a little confused as she listened.


    ... Lin Xinghe has only been in town for five to six hours longer than them. Just what did she do during that time? How did she become the deceased''s lover? And what''s this about the deceased?


    Lin Xinghe said, "These are important clues. We also don''t know if Little Xue Ji was the one who killed the man in her illusion."


    Tang Xin asked, "What man?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Oh if you''re interested, I have a picture."


    Lin Xinghe pulled up the photo. Tang Xin''s legs almost gave out when she looked at it.


    On the screen, a male corpse dressed in red was hanging upside down from the ceiling in a bloody and sinister room.


    Lin Xinghe was looking at the photo like it was just a still from a horror movie. If she were alone, Tang Xin would have been scared, but seeing Lin Xinghe''s fearless expression, her fear instantly lessened and she asked, "Is he from this town?"


    "Yes, and I don''t think it was Little Xue Ji who killed him."


    "Why not?"


    "She''s a little weak and silly. She was so angry that she couldn''t scare me that she slammed the door and left. Would someone who acts like that hang a man upside down from the ceiling?"


    Internally, Tang Xin was thinking: No, the monster is obviously really scary! Not weak at all! Not silly at all! European Emperor, it''s you who is abnormal!


    At this time, Lin Xinghe said, "I need to find a way to learn about what happened in this town."


    Tang Xin was determined to contribute her share. She racked her brain and said, "How about we wait until morning to try out different interrogation methods on the staff? Maybe intimidation and bribery?"


    "That''s a good idea."


    Tang Xin was a little happy with herself and said, "We can win people over using money, or we can start by torturing the subjects with their weaknesses. I''m... I''m very skilled at gathering information. Tomorrow, I..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "No, there''s no guarantee the staff will speak the truth. We don''t know what they''re hiding yet and asking them out of the blue might end up alerting them."


    "There''s someone else we can ask. Someone who isn''t from town."


    "Wh-Who else?"


    Half an hour later, Tang Xin was laying in her room.


    The hair she lost earlier was still scattered across the pillow and yellowing bed. The feeling of having Little Xue Ji''s five mouths pressed against her face was still vivid in her mind.


    She couldn''t help shivering at the thought of it.


    Lin Xinghe told her, "You might be able to attract Little Xue Ji with your fear. Stall her when she comes. I''ll capture her. Instead of interrogating the people in the town, it''s better to interrogate Little Xue Ji."


    Tang Xin understood an old saying at that moment¡ªThe greater the courage, the greater the yield (1). Lin Xinghe''s courage is made of diamonds!


    Since Tang Xin made up her mind to board Lin Xinghe''s boat, there was no way she would reject Lin Xinghe''s proposal.


    But Lin Xinghe left her with some final words which gave her a boost of confidence: "Ideally, I would have done it myself, but there''s no way she can scare me. Little Xue Ji even seems a bit afraid of me. She definitely wouldn''t fall for it if I was the bait, so I can only ask you to go into battle..."


    ... Little Xue Ji is afraid of Lin Xinghe. That means that Little Xue Ji has a weakness, so she is still somewhat safe.


    Tang Xin kept imagining things that made her scared, but she quickly realized something¡ªthinking was unnecessary. Just the act of laying down here was enough to make her terrified.


    She squeezed her eyes shut and could feel her eyelashes trembling. Her breathing gradually quickened.


    Suddenly, she noticed a cool breeze. It was exactly the same as before.


    Little Xue Ji is here!


    She instinctively tensed up, pursing her lips tightly until they formed a thin, pale line.


    Remembering Lin Xinghe''s words, she lunged forward the moment Little Xue Ji got close and shouted with her eyes closed: "Lin Xinghe!"+


    There was a loud "BANG!" and the lights were turned on.


    Tang Xin firmly held the ball against her chest with all her strength. She didn''t dare to look at, or even think about, what was in her arms. She felt its temperature drop below zero. In the next instant, it turned into a long and slippery creature that felt like a reptile.


    At this moment, Tang Xin heard Lin Xinghe make a surprised "Eek!" and say "Little Xue Ji, you''re so skilled. You even know how to turn into a snake! Your future is really bright. If you don''t form a five-man band in the future, you can still go to the zoo and eat free food..."


    When Tang Xin heard the word "snake," she immediately let go in fear.


    Snakes are the most disgusting!


    She frantically escaped to the corner the moment she let go. When she calmed down, she stole a peek and saw Lin Xinghe, this girl with a delicate appearance, grasping a black snake while also restraining its seven-inch-long body.


    The black snake whipped its tail around frantically and struggled to no avail. It finally hung its head and reverted to its original form. At this moment, a powdered, jade-carved mochi dumpling was being held down on the bed by Lin Xinghe very pitifully (2). The child raised her head and her black eyes burst with tears.


    Tang Xin''s heart instantly melted.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Where''s the rope? Didn''t you bring a rope into the exam room? Let''s tie her up."

 CH 10

    Tang Xin whispered to Lin Xinghe, "It doesn''t seem like they smell it..."


    Lin Xinghe asked to confirm, "Do you guys smell something weird?"


    Chai Yong and the others stopped talking and looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Fang Ziyue asked mockingly, "Do you have a dog''s nose? Why don''t I smell anything?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "You might have been marked. Be careful today."


    Chai Yong snorted coldly, "Alarmist talk."


    Seeing Tang Xin clinging to Lin Xinghe like a dog, Fang Ziyue disdainfully added, "I''m waiting to see how this small and weak girl can protect you from the Snow Woman."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at her indifferently and said, "Pray for yourself instead."


    After saying that, she left with Tang Xin.


    Hearing this, Fang Ziyue became a bit nervous. Lin Xinghe did, in fact, go down the mountain five or six hours earlier than they did. She might have discovered some important clues already. But on second thought, the exam question is to kill the Snow Woman and Lin Xinghe can''t use magical items. It''s practically impossible for her to pass the exam without following someone in charge of dealing damage.


    Fang Ziyue reassured herself and turned back to flattering Chai Yong.


    She sniffed.


    ... There was no smell at all. It must be Lin Xinghe''s alarmist talk!


    After the snowstorm passed, the weather was exceptionally clear and the winter sun was warm and bright.


    Yesterday, it was a deserted town; today, it is completely different.


    Groups of people could be seen in two''s and three''s on the streets. Stores were wide open for business. A small street was particularly lively. Many stalls were set up temporarily, forming a small marketplace. While they sold all kinds of things, they mostly offered daily necessities.


    Lin Xinghe finally spotted men on the streets and in the small alleyway, several little boys were building a snowman.


    Lin Xinghe retrieved some candy from her backpack and went over to talk to the little boys.


    She crouched down so she was at eye level with the kids. With a kind expression, she asked, "Children, do you want candy?"


    The children looked at each other hesitantly.


    Lin Xinghe opened up her palm and said in a soft voice, "I have soda flavours. There is Cola, Sprite, and orange soda. Which one do you want?"


    One of the boys couldn''t resist anymore and took one of the Cola-flavoured candies. In a childish voice, he said, "Thank you, Sister."


    Seeing this, the rest of the children took a piece of candy one after another.


    Lin Xinghe smiled and asked, "The snow was very thick yesterday too. Why didn''t you come out yesterday to build a snowman?"


    "Mommy and Daddy didn''t let me go outside. If I went outside, the bad guys would take me away."


    "Why did you come out today?"


    "Mommy said we can play outside today."


    "Has anyone been taken away by the bad guys?"


    "Yes."


    "Little Treasure, come to Mommy."


    The little boy answered her loudly and got up from the snow.


    There was a middle-aged woman close by. She bent down and picked up the little boy. There was a bit of nervousness in her expression. She glanced at Lin Xinghe out of the corner of her eye and without saying anything else, she beckoned to the other boys to leave with her.


    The middle-aged woman''s expression became frosty.


    Lin Xinghe added, "I''m from out of town. Do you have any interesting attractions here?"


    "Tourists like the Ice Sculpture Garden and the Snow Park."


    "Okay, thank you."


    Once the middle-aged woman left, Tang Xin said, "They don''t seem very friendly to tourists..."


    Lin Xinghe asked her, "Did you find anything?"


    Tang Xin: "Uh, maybe we can find the Snow Woman at the Ice Sculpture Garden or the Snow Park?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "That''s a possibility." After a brief pause, she added, "Have you noticed? The men in this town have very pale skin, especially the little boys. Pale like they haven''t seen the sun for a long time. The streets were empty yesterday, but today, there are people in groups of two''s and three''s. The only difference between today and yesterday is that there are new people in town. Chai Yong and the others were clearly marked. They probably became the Snow Woman''s prey. This would explain why everyone from town came out today¡ªit''s because the Snow Woman has new prey, and so, they are safe for the time being."


    Tang Xin said, "Will we find the Snow Woman if we follow Chai Yong''s party? Should we try to kill her while she''s attacking them?"


    Lin Xinghe shook her head, "In theory, yes. But it won''t work with the way things are. We''re just ordinary people. The Snow Woman is not. It''s very easy for her to kill us, and it''s very hard for us to kill her. But the exam question must be solvable. Just like we did with Little Xue Ji, we have to start with finding out the Snow Woman''s weakness and go from there."


    Lin Xinghe said, "The people here must have a motive for getting us to go to the Ice Sculpture Garden and the Snow Park. Chai Yong''s party will definitely go to one of these places so let''s follow them. Before that, I have to do some shopping..."


    Tang Xin said in shock, "You... You have money?"


    "I don''t."


    "Then how are you going to go shopping?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Money is indeed a problem but it''s not a big problem. There''s always a way. I was really lucky when I was alive. Whenever I was short of money, God would stuff me with money using all kinds of ways."


    "For... For example?"


    "Winning the lottery after finding a lottery ticket that someone lost; Getting my purse stolen. After catching the person, I found out they were a wanted criminal and was given a big reward; and buying something that turned out to be an expired product. The mall paid me a large settlement..."


    Tang Xin: ? ? ?


    Lin Xinghe said, "So the lack of money is not a problem. When we get to the mountain, there''ll be a way through. If there are no roads, then you can carve your own."


    Tang Xin: "How... How do we carve?"


    Lin Xinghe: "It depends on the situation, but since I was born, I''ve never had a situation where I needed to carve my own road... Maybe..." Her words came to an abrupt halt. Lin Xinghe stifled a groan and asked : "What did I just kick?"


    Tang Xin picked it up and said, "It''s a tin box."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Open it and take a look."


    Tang Xin opened the box and was again reminded of the difference between a European Emperor and an ordinary person. Right when Lin Xinghe said she was lacking money, a stack of bills fell from the sky. The box was full of money scattered about. There were both large bills, in the form of one hundred yuan, and small bills, in the form of ten yuan.

 CH 11

    Chai Yong and his party walked ahead.


    Li Chengyan tended to Fang Ziyue and let her walk in the middle as he walked behind. Despite this, Fang Ziyue still felt creeped out. The ice sculptures on either side of the path were so realistic that she felt like they would come to life at any moment.


    The NPC said that the Ice Sculpture Garden holds the secret of the Snow Woman. Chai Yong made them examine each ice sculpture carefully. It was highly likely that the secret was hidden in one of these ice sculptures.


    But no matter how Fang Ziyue looked at it, she felt like the ice sculptures were carved with the intent to scare people, especially the human ones. Those eyeballs were as good as real ones. Obviously, they were only carved from ice, but the more she looked at them, the scarier they seemed.


    Luckily, it wasn''t dead silent in the Ice Sculpture Garden because of the Clink Clink Clink Clink sounds coming from behind. It reminded her that these ice sculptures were nothing more than man-made pieces of art which you could easily break down with a hammer.


    For once, Fang Ziyue thought that Lin Xinghe, who she just thought was deranged, still had her uses. At least she made her feel less scared. She could sort of understand why Tang Xin would want to follow Lin Xinghe.


    The mood obviously resembles a horror movie, but Lin Xinghe has the acting skills to make it a comedy.


    Fang Ziyue secretly craned her head to look behind.


    Tang Xin was chatting and joking around with Lin Xinghe.


    Despite her harmless appearance, Lin Xinghe split open the head of an ice sculpture without mercy. It fell onto the pavement with a "Bang!"


    Fang Ziyue suddenly felt a bit envious of the atmosphere over there. But once her fear washed away, she carefully began to study the ice sculpture in front of her.


    It looked like a little girl, about three or four years old. She had two small braids and wore a dress and shoes.


    Maybe because she wasn''t so scared anymore, Fang Ziyue couldn''t resist touching the ice sculpture of the little girl.


    When she touched it, Fang Ziyue witnessed the ice sculpture''s lips curling up slightly.


    She screamed in horror.


    Chai Yong whirled around and scolded her: "All you do is scream all day. Women are so troublesome. They get scared from the smallest things." When Chai Yong saw the ice sculpture of the little girl in front of Fang Ziyue, he sneered at her, "Even this sculpture of a little girl made you scream? Is she going to eat you or attack you?"


    Fang Ziyue stammered, "She-she-she-she smiled."


    Li Chengyan said, "You''re just psyching yourself out. Nothing''s there."


    To reassure Fang Ziyue, Li Chengyan reached out and patted the little girl''s face. He knocked on her mouth with his knuckle and said, "See. Nothing happened. Girls are like this, Brother Chai. Let''s keep looking for clues. Clues are more important."


    Chai Yong glared at Fang Ziyue before turning around and continuing to look for clues.


    Fang Ziyue was so anxious that her eyes started to redden. Tugging at Li Chengyan''s sleeve, she said, "I... I really saw her smile. She just smiled."


    "You''re imagining things."


    "No, really. I... I really saw her..."


    Li Chengyan interrupted her and said, "Okay, stop it. If you keep talking, Brother Chai will be upset. Hurry and find the Snow Woman''s secret. We''ll kill the Snow Woman and get out of here."


    With this little episode, Fang Ziyue was too afraid to look at the ice sculptures again. She lowered her gaze and just stared at the ground.


    Half an hour has already passed since the group entered the Ice Sculpture Garden. Chai Yong saw at least twenty different ice sculptures, both large and small. The NPC said that the Ice Sculpture Garden wasn''t big, having only 30 to 40 ice sculptures altogether.


    However, Chai Yong has already inspected over half of the ice sculptures and still hasn''t found anything.


    The ice sculptures in the garden were no different from ordinary ice sculptures.


    There weren''t many sculptures left in the Ice Sculpture Garden. After turning the corner, they would be able to see the end of the path, yet they didn''t have a single lead. There was also no turning back. They were looking for clues in front, while Lin Xinghe was knocking down ice sculptures behind them.


    Chai Yong became a little impatient. As soon as he turned around and saw Fang Ziyue cowering in place, accomplishing nothing at all, his temper immediately flared.


    "Didn''t I tell you to..."


    But before he finished speaking, he heard another scream come from Fang Ziyue.


    "All you fucking know how to do is scream. What else can you do besides screaming?"


    Fang Ziyue quickly raised her head and said in panic, "No, no, I really saw the ice sculpture move. It... It just moved. It was clearly standing over there before. It moved a step. It really moved a step..."


    "Shut up! Bitch only knows how to drag her feet! How could an ice sculpture move? You''ve seen too many horror movies. If it moves, Lao Tzu will twist its head off and kick it like a football for you. It..."


    Before he finished, Chai Yong saw Li Chengyan looking past him with a panicked expression. He said, "Brother Chai, it... it moved."


    Chai Yong almost laughed out of anger.


    "One and two. Both are pig teammates. Move your asses. Lao Tzu will bash its head off..." (1)


    Chai Yong suddenly felt a chill at his fingertips and glanced down. The dog sculpture, which was seven or eight steps away from him just now, had already rushed up to him. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs before viciously biting down on his hand.


    There was a crisp sound.


    Blood flowed everywhere.


    Chai Yong''s hand was actually bitten off from the wrist. Bright red blood splattered all over the ground.


    The dog sculpture''s mouth, nose, and eyes were dyed red with his blood. It lunged back at Chai Yong like a spring.


    Chai Yong did have some experience after all. He endured the pain and rolled on the ground to dodge the dog sculpture''s attack. Before he could steady himself, however, he felt another chill come from behind him. A human ice sculpture revealed a sorrowful smile before the sword in its hand descended and slashed him straight in the right shoulder.


    Fang Ziyue and Li Chengyan were shaking in fear. They wanted to run away in panic.


    But at this moment, the nearby ice sculptures began to surround them, thus blocking off their escape route.


    Lin Xinghe and Tang Xin, who were in the middle of bashing ice sculptures, stopped what they were doing when they saw this scene.


    Tang Xin asked, "Why aren''t they attacking us?"

 CH 12

    Tang Xin already sensed Lin Xinghe''s devilish nature back when she used Little Xue Ji as a camera. Now as she looked at the moving, but otherwise ordinary, ice sculptures, she actually felt like it wasn''t a big deal.


    Seems like standing next to the final boss makes you see things differently!


    Look at Fang Ziyue who is crying like a squeaky bag. Meanwhile, she already reached the realm of ''it''s not a big deal.'' (1)


    Tang Xin calmly asked Lin Xinghe, "What about the remaining ice sculptures?"


    She pointed to the old, sick, and wounded group of ice sculptures in the distance who were too scared of the fire to come over.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Burn them all. Don''t leave any hidden dangers behind. These are the Snow Woman''s weapons. Of course, we have to wipe them out now that we know their weakness. We can''t leave even the dregs for the Snow Woman."


    Tang Xin said, "Okay, understood."


    Fang Ziyue felt the horror of taking the wrong side at this moment. Fully unleashing her lackey talents, she sniffled and said, "I... I can help too."


    Seeing this, Li Chengyan didn''t hesitate to jump off Chai Yong''s boat as well.


    After all, Chai Yong had lost a hand and even took an arrow to the right shoulder (2).


    "I can help too."


    Chai Yong looked disappointed. No matter how stupid he is, even he could grasp at this moment that the NPC had tricked him. There wasn''t any secret of the Snow Woman in the Ice Sculpture Garden, only the Snow Woman using weapons to play with their lives.


    The people of the town and the Snow Woman are working together. This snowy town is the Snow Woman''s base.


    "You didn''t expect this, did you?"


    Chai Yong no longer cared about saving face at this point. The most important thing is to survive and pass the exam. A leader can submit or stand tall as required. After suffering two injuries to his body, his lips were gradually losing their colour and his voice had become weak: "Yes, I didn''t expect this. The NPC gave me a false lead and I believed in them."


    Lin Xinghe said, "The lead that the staff gave you isn''t completely false. There are indeed clues related to the Snow Woman here, and they can indeed be called the Snow Woman''s secrets."


    Chai Yong was stunned and said, "I searched the ice sculptures for so long. I looked at each one of them carefully and didn''t find anything."


    Lin Xinghe said, "The reason you didn''t find anything isn''t because you weren''t being careful enough. It''s because you didn''t fully explore the exam question. Our exam question revealed a lot of information. ''Kill the Snow Woman''?¡ªWhy do we have to kill the Snow Woman? What did the Snow Woman do that can anger both people and gods? You have to start by considering these questions when doing the problem. The second step is killing the Snow Woman. How do you kill the Snow Woman? Is it possible for an ordinary person to kill the Snow Woman who has unknown abilities? Impossible. Therefore, the Snow Woman must have a weakness. So after entering the exam room, you have to explore the context first, then explore the weaknesses, and then finally look for the weapon that can kill the Snow Woman..."


    ¡¾Take notes.¡¿


    ¡¾Devil Lin Xinghe gives an online tutorial on how to analyze questions¡¿


    ¡¾Coming from an older student''s perspective, what Lin Xinghe said makes sense. Look at the topic and think through these three steps. It takes most freshmen until their third or fourth exam to realize this. She already has such depth of understanding in her first exam. This freshman has some potential.¡¿


    "The day I got here, I went to the file room and learned that sixteen people went missing¡ªall outsiders, not a single local, and all males. The disappearances didn''t start that long ago, only about three months ago. On average, a man disappeared every five or six days. Before you came down the mountain, the town was deserted. The streets were empty. I didn''t see a single man in the rescue center. The rescue team''s pilot who saved me was also very cautious about this place. He didn''t even get off the plane after it landed and immediately left the area..."


    Lin Xinghe added: "And today, after you were marked, the town became lively. There was even a market and men were walking outside. Markets usually sell gadgets, but this one mostly carried daily necessities. The stalls that sold rice and noodles were crowded out front. I went to the supermarket and the food section was empty. There were only a few packs of instant noodles left..."


    Chai Yong couldn''t help being shocked at Lin Xinghe''s meticulousness. He completely missed everything she mentioned. Even if he did notice these details, he wouldn''t have thought twice about it and would have simply assumed it was the way of the town.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I''ve essentially deduced the backstory of the exam question. The female lead is the Snow Woman. The male lead is Zhang Zheng who is a married man. I didn''t know the name of the male lead at first, but I found traces in the Ice Sculpture Garden that the Snow Woman and Zhang Zheng left behind. In fact, the whole storyline is very clich¨¦d. The Snow Woman and Zhang Zheng meet. Zhang Zheng pretends to be single, falls in love with the Snow Woman, and promises to marry her. The two share a lovely time together and at some point travel to the Ice Sculpture Garden. Travelling lovers always want to leave something behind to remember, especially a love-brained woman like the Snow Woman (4). The greatest symbol of love in the Ice Sculpture Garden is a heart sculpture. At the bottom, the ice sculpture is completely engraved with the names of couples..."


    "... But again, Zhang Zheng is a married man. Naturally, he can''t leave his name with the Snow Woman so openly. The town is also small. There''s always the risk of being caught by others. In order to coax the Snow Woman, he took a different route. He buried a doll with their names on it in front of the ice sculpture. When I was smashing the ice sculpture, I tried to think like how a cheater like Zhang Zheng would. Thinking that something might be hidden underground, I randomly started digging and actually found it. This doll only costs a few dollars and looks poor in quality. Only love-brained women would be over the moon for this."


    Lin Xinghe took out a pair of dirty dolls from her backpack.


    "... The Snow Woman later found out that Zhang Zheng tricked her. In her rage, she killed Zhang Zheng and hung him upside down in his wife''s house. I''ve been to his wife, Sister Meng''s house. The walls were renovated to cover up the bloodstains. Judging from the smell that was left behind, he was likely killed only three months ago. The story becomes simple enough after that. The Snow Woman killed Zhang Zheng but not his wife. Instead, she acted like a tyrant, making the entire town do her bidding and demanding a male sacrifice every few days. The people of the town eventually came up with a solution and lured men from outside to serve as the Snow Woman''s sacrifices so their lives would be spared."


    Lin Xinghe added, "The Snow Woman probably has an antisocial personality. Zhang Zheng is a scumbag but she thinks that all men are bad. That''s why she demands a male sacrifice from the townspeople every few days..."


    The three who had returned from cleaning up the group of old, weak, and injured ice sculptures overheard Lin Xinghe''s words.


    It was only the second day and Lin Xinghe already deduced the storyline. She was so quick that they felt... content to just lie down and win.

 CH 13.1

    ¡¾This freshman is crazy good. If Xie Wuan said something like this, it would be normal. But she is just a freshman in the modern department. I found out that she used to be an actress. To be honest, the modern era students really don¡¯t have any advantages in the examination room, even if they are in the special forces or from the military. After the freshman exam, the exams are school-wide, so they¡¯re useless compared to a person with supernatural abilities¡¿


    ¡¾The one on the screen just entered the school. With all due respect, those who haven¡¯t been in the school for more than three years are all freshmen. The modern department has also produced some great people, like that mad scientist who was analyzing atomic bombs. ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, I know who you were talking about earlier. The principal had sat him down and gave him a good talking-to countless times. I remember that he had a good relationship with the playboy from the xianxia department. Unfortunately, he died later. What a pity! I remember that the big guy was just a few points away from graduating. ¡¿


    ¡¾Afterwards, the principal felt that it was too much of a risk. After him, the modern era department never recruited any mad scientist students, right? Back then, the modern era department was solely supported by that freshman, but now there are no students in the modern department who can fight. Since then, Lin Xinghe has been the only one to show some promise¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I think so too, but it¡¯s not a good thing for a new student to be too reckless. She has no supernatural skills and no weapons, and her magic broom was banned. The people in the town must have seen the Snow Maiden¡¯s abilities to be afraid of her. Unless the freshman can grind the Snow Maiden¡¯s face in the dirt, it is impossible for her to replace the Snow Maiden¡¯s rule over the town. ¡¿


    Gu Taoyao saw that her deskmate¡¯s exam livestream was getting more and more views. Most people probably wanted to see how she would ban the Snow Maiden¡¯s rule over the town. After all, the school¡¯s livestream platform did not allow the students to record the streams. If they missed the live broadcast, they really missed it, and students were not allowed to take pictures or videos.


    She once watched one of Xie Wuan¡¯s exams and secretly took a photo with her mobile phone, but she found that the photo could not be saved.


    So whenever there was an exciting stream, she had to get up in the middle of the night to watch it.


    The atmosphere in the stream chat was very lively, while everyone in the examination room except Lin Xinghe and Tang Xin was a little confused.


    ¡­Abolish the rule of the Snow Maiden?


    This kind of thinking was too¡­ whimsical, wasn¡¯t it?


    Tang Xin now blindly trusted Lin Xinghe, just like Lin Xinghe blindly trusted her own good luck. Lin Xinghe said that she wanted to replace the Snow Maiden¡¯s regime over the town, so without hesitation, Tang Xin said, ¡°Okay! Down with the Snow Maiden! Replace the Snow Maiden¡¯s regime!¡±


    That attitude seemed like she was leading a group of people who were waving fists and holding banners, parading through the streets.


    Fang Ziyue had to follow Lin Xinghe to win now. Fearing the loss of the head disciple position, she shouted more imposingly than Tang Xin just did, ¡°The east wind blows! The drums of war are pounding! Defeat the Snow Maiden. Smash the Snow Maiden! Burn the Snow Maiden!¡±


    Li Chengyan silently felt that the three women in the examination room were crazy women. But then again, Brother Chai had lost his hand and was now a cripple, so he had no choice but to side with Lin Xinghe and the others.


    ¡°Down with the Snow Maiden!¡±


    Chai Yong asked, ¡°How do you plan to abolish the regime of the Snow Maiden?¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t answer. She pondered over this for a while, looked at the passionate Tang Xin, and asked her, ¡°Are you still afraid of Xiao Xue Ji?¡±


    Even though she had seen Xiao Xue Ji being grinded into the dirt by Lin Xinghe, Tang Xin was still afraid of Xiao Xue Ji. There was no reason other than the fact that it could turn into a snake, and it would be even more disgusting if it turned into a bug and crawled into her body.


    She imagined her body being blown up by insects and she couldn¡¯t help shivering, bobbing her head like a chicken pecking at rice.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, then we will continue.¡±


    The group of five stayed in the ice sculpture garden for another half an hour.


    A full hour passed, but no firefighters came to put out the substantial fire, and no one paid any attention to the clouds of smoke drifting in the sky. The houses nearby had their doors closed, and there were no heads sticking out of the windows.


    It was not until the fire spread out of the amusement park that sirens sounded from a distance.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe and her group return to the rescue center.


    When the NPC from this morning saw Chai Yong¡¯s injury, she didn¡¯t look surprised at all. Instead, she said, ¡°I heard that the Ice Sculpture Garden caught fire. Why did it catch fire?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Your town is a bit interesting. We were having a good time visiting the ice sculpture garden. The ice sculptures suddenly moved and seemed to want to attack us¡­ But they were just a group of ice sculptures, nothing to be afraid of¡­¡±


    She said lightly again: ¡°I just set them on fire, no need to thank me for keeping you all safe.¡±


    NPC: ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe yawned and continued, ¡°I noticed that the amusement park was also aggressive and burned it down alongside the sculpture garden. If there are any dangerous places in your town, please tell me. I will burn them all tomorrow as thanks for rescuing us.¡±


    NPC: ¡°¡­¡­¡±

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 13.2


    Chai Yong originally felt that he had been deceived and felt resentful, but now, seeing their shocked and deflated appearance, he felt inexplicably relieved.


    Lin Xinghe continued, "My companion is injured. Please help me treat his wounds¡ªwe brought back his broken hand, frozen by the bite from the sculptures."


    The staff hadn''t yet realized what Lin Xinghe meant when Lin Xinghe smiled sweetly, "I''m sorry for the trouble~"


    She used to think that this girl was pretty and had a sweet smile, but now she sensed a sinister intent behind the smile.


    After Lin Xinghe returned to her room, Tang Xin, Fang Ziyue and Li Chengyan followed.


    Lin Xinghe assigned them tasks.


    "Tang Xin, you are responsible for being the bait to seduce Xiao Xue Ji."


    "Fang Ziyue, you are responsible for finding horror movies, movies, and dramas. You also can find some behind-the-scenes guides, as well as clear and gruesome pictures"


    "As for Li Chengyan, you are responsible for printing and pasting photos."


    Fang Ziyue asked in confusion, "Xiao Xue Ji¡­ What is that?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "My photographer."


    Fang Ziyue thought to herself, ¡°Can you even bring photographers into the exam room?¡±


    An hour later, when Fang Ziyue saw the ferocious little girl with five mouths, her legs trembled in fright. However, Lin Xinghe grabbed her and tied her to the foot of the bed.


    She said in a familiar tone, "You¡¯ve already been fooled this way, do you not have a good memory? You¡¯re already here, so how about we work together? Look, although I tied you up, I haven''t hurt you. I don''t know what the Snow Maiden did to you, but I''m a good person. I can even help you deal with the Snow Maiden, provided you promise to cooperate with me. Not only that, I can also help you broaden your path. I used to be an actor, although I only acted in one movie. However, I think whether people are actors or in your line of work, they have to broaden their horizons"


    She continued earnestly, "Do you know why you can''t make me afraid of you? Because the illusion you created is not scary to me. You have not fully understood the essence of the word ¡®horror.¡¯ But don''t worry, you are still young; you can learn, and you have room to grow. I have carefully prepared many horror movies for you and even found a collection of horror cuts for you, which will help you to create more terrifying illusions than before¡­"


    She took out her phone and clicked on the movie Fang Ziyue prepared.


    "Look, the tension of this scene makes the terror tangible. Even I tremble when I see it, so do you want to see how to do this? If you cooperate with me, I promise to teach you all the scary secrets of a lifetime, so that you will be successful in the future. You won''t be so despondent that you have to turn into a snake and steal meals from zoo animals."


    Xiao Xue Ji couldn''t take her eyes off of it.


    Lin Xinghe turned off the phone. Seeing that Xiao Xue Ji''s eyes were still on the screen of her phone, she asked with a smile, "If you agree to this deal, nod."


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Lin Xinghe said: "Sweetie, you¡¯re such a great kid. Now, let¡¯s start. This is our first lesson."


    She pulled up a movie of a ghost in red, "Replicate this scenario, and replace the ghost''s face with me. Have me interact with the villagers, eat kids in front of their parents if they have kids, eat their possessions if they don''t have kids, and eat their body parts if they don''t have possessions. After eating, I want a special effect¡ªa fire burning behind me. Then, create a scene in which I fight with the Snow Maiden Goddess. I will grind the Snow Maiden¡¯s face into the ground, and the fire behind me will swallow the Snow Maiden and melt her¡­"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Come to the rehearsal, Tang Xin, you lie on the bed."


    "Sure."


    Xiao Xue Ji worked hard to create an illusion.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Hey, wait, pause for a sec."


    She pointed to the "Lin Xinghe" hanging in the air.


    "...The clothes are too ugly; they don''t look good at all, and they aren¡¯t immediately intimidating. This red is too provocative¡ªall Snow Maidens take the erotic route, and I can¡¯t be in the same style. As soon as I appear on the stage, I need to look like an unfeeling villain. The Snow Maiden wears red, then I wear white, like mourning clothes*, do you know that color? Oh, yes, yes, this color is good! Let¡¯s go with this color, it¡¯s great, Xiao Xue Ji¡ª you are very promising¡­ You are amazing!"


    Lin Xinghe praised her so much that Xiao Xue Ji curled her lips and studiously worked harder to change "Lin Xinghe¡¯s¡± clothes.


    Finally, the scene was set.


    Lin Xinghe took a photo and asked Li Chengyan to print it at the self-service printer.


    One night later¡ª


    Everyone in the town had a similar nightmare.


    In the dream, there was a sweet-looking woman in white, but her methods were brutal. There was a flame burning behind her. She didn''t even go through scary villain threats when she showed up¡ªjust directly started killing people. She even fought the Snow Maiden after killing people, and she rubbed and rubbed the Snow Maiden into the ground until it turned into a puddle of melted snow.


    The dream was too real. After getting up, everyone was stunned and confused.


    Some of them walked outside and saw that the door gods were all replaced by a woman in white. She looked exactly like the villain from their dream, with a sweet smile. The only difference was that her eyes had no life, as still as stagnant water.


    They remembered yesterday''s fire.


    The monstrous fire burned down the Ice Sculpture Garden and also the winter-themed amusement park.


    They realized the era of Snow Maiden''s reign was over, and they ushered in the era of the Fire Maiden.


    TL Notes:


    *Mourning clothes in traditional Chinese culture are always white.

 CH 14.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 14.1


    Ding Miao had a very realistic dream.


    Everyone in the town said that the people who were marked were the property of the Snow Maiden, and that she could kill you at any time if you were. As long as the Snow Maiden marked someone, she would catch them even if they fled to the ends of the earth.


    Ding Miao knew it was true.


    Her brother escaped and left this icy village, but she saw her brother again within three days. His body was left hanging at the door of the ice sculpture garden.


    Since then, no one in the town dared to escape.


    For the first three days, the marked person had a strange scent on his body¡ªan unnamable, yet scary scent. People in the town said it was the smell of death.


    Most of the people in the town had seen the Snow Maiden, and Ding Miao had seen her too, when the Snow Maiden had hung her brother¡¯s body at the gate of the Ice Sculpture Garden. The Snow Maiden''s long hair reached the ground, and she was wearing a red skirt. She seemed to be aware of Ding Miao¡¯s existence and turned around slowly. The faceless monster looked directly at her.


    The monster stared as if it* had grown eyes, and it made her feel cold everywhere.


    Since that day, Snow Maiden had become a nightmarish existence to her. When she returned to her dreams at midnight, she always felt that the Snow Maiden was staring at her. Later, people in the village said that Snow Maiden liked to kill people in their dreams, dealing you the cruelest yet most elegant death blow. When people saw the Snow Maiden in their dreams, they were not far from death.


    Ding Miao lived in fear, begging the Snow Maiden not to come to her.


    On this night, she knew that she was dreaming¡ªit was like reality, but also had dream-like qualities. She was in a familiar bedroom, expecting the Snow Maiden. But when she opened her eyes, she saw blood oozing from every piece of furniture in the room, gradually flowing into  a pool and then rising rapidly. When it was about to submerge her mattress, she reacted and swam out to the door of the room.


    However, when she pushed the door open, she saw the most traumatic scene in her life.


    Her parents had their necks bitten off, and their heads rolled to her feet like basketballs. The culprit was wearing snow-white clothes and turned her head slowly. Her blood-red lips curled up into a grin.


    Ding Miao was stunned.


    It wasn''t the Snow Maiden¡ªit was the sweet-looking girl she met in the rescue center.


    In the dark night, her facial features were exceptionally bright, as if illuminated by something divine; her eyelashes curled charmingly, and her almond-shaped eyes, as dark as an autumn lake, curved like a crescent moon in midsummer when she smiled. But her lips and teeth were bloodstained as she pressed a finger, which clearly had her mother''s wedding ring on it, to the corner of her mouth


    Such a dichotomic figure was even more terrifying than the faceless Snow Maiden.


    She suddenly remembered what Lin Xinghe said at the rescue center today¡ª


    "Your town is a bit interesting. We were having a good time visiting the ice sculpture garden. The ice sculptures suddenly moved and seemed to want to attack us... But it''s just a group of ice sculptures, nothing to be afraid of..."


    "...I just set them on fire..."


    As Ding Miao thought of this, Lin Xinghe, dressed in mourning clothes, delicately wrinkled her brow, and a flame leapt to the sky behind her, enveloping her whole body in the fire. She flew out of the house.


    Ding Miao scrambled to the window and saw the Snow Maiden, whom she had not seen for a long time.


    Lin Xinghe glowed, incandescent with fiery flames. She reached the Snow Maiden, who seemed to have no chance to react before being oneshotted by Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s white dress was still unblemished by blood, and the fire behind her shone brightly. However, her bloodstained lips shattered this facade of holiness. She was like an angel who fell into the depths of Hell, full of good and evil.


    Ding Miao went to work at the rescue center and found that everyone was ashen.


    Everyone''s nightmare was sitting in the cafeteria.


    Lin Xinghe was eating breakfast slowly.


    Opposite of her sat her other three companions.


    Beside her sat a little girl, not the little girl brought back from the mountain that day, but a monster¡ªfive mouthed, red pupiled.


    As if aware of Ding Miao''s gaze, all five mouths smiled at her.


    Ding Miao panicked.


    Then, she saw Lin Xinghe stand up and walk straight in front of her.


    Ding Miao was once again dominated by the fear of last night. Her view of Lin Xinghe was completely different from yesterday. Her lips were trembling in the fear that Lin Xinghe would swallow her in one gulp


    "In ten minutes, I want to see your mayor, right here."


    Ding Miao tremblingly asked her manager for instructions.


    The manager contacted the mayor.


    "Mayor, the fire¡­ the Fire Maiden is here with us, and she wants to see you."


    Five minutes later, Lin Xinghe met with the mayor, who had rushed over in a hurry.


    The mayor of this icy village was a male named Jia Shiyi. He was not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall (5¡¯7), but he was obviously not too young¡ªhe had already lost half of his hair. He stood in front of Lin Xinghe in awe.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Mayor Jia, right? You have managed this town well, and I admire your talent. I am completely different from the Snow Maiden¡ªshe has no education, but I have learned about socialism. I am a civilized person, and I normally do not tolerate fighting or killing. I can''t stand what Snow Maiden has done to this town, so I want to help out¡­¡±


    TL Notes:


    *The original novel did not specify the pronouns of the Snow Maiden, so when she''s being referred to as a woman, her pronouns are she/her, and while it''s being referred to as a monster, its pronouns are it/its.

 CH 14.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 14.2


    Mayor Jia was still very frightened. The Fire Maiden¡¯s words were nice, but after she ¡°helped out,¡±  she might also threaten the whole village. Compared to the Snow Maiden, with both of them being villains of the same nature, the Fire Maiden might be even more extreme. The Snow Maiden only killed men, but the Fire Maiden in front of him killed everything.


    "The Snow Maiden is not dead and will make a comeback, but you don''t have to worry¡ªI will protect your town. You don''t have to ask if I have other motives, because I do indeed have other motives. My protection is not free¡ªthere¡¯s a price."


    Mayor Jia raised his head in astonishment, and then heard Lin Xinghe say, "I accept money, but I don''t accept paper money or electronic money. I only accept gold, so you go back out there and gather the people and take their gold. Gold bars are even better, but if you don¡¯t have them, loose gold is gold too. Of course, I am not accepting your things in vain. In return, I will protect you from the Snow Maiden. From now on, there need not be sacrifices from outsiders, and everyone in your town, including men, can live freely under this sky!"


    After a while, Lin Xinghe said again: "Also, about the accommodations¡­This place is a bit rough. I need a place that matches my identity, do you understand?"


    "... It¡¯s clear, crystal clear. I understand."


    Lin Xinghe took Xiao Xue Ji''s hand and said, "Prepare a room for a child as well."


    When Mayor Jia saw Xiao Xue Ji, his expression changed, and after a while he stuttered, "I uh¡­ I¡¯m on it.¡±


    Mayor Jia made the arrangements immediately.


    Twelve o''clock at noon.


    Lin Xinghe and her party moved from a simple rescue center to a three-story villa  in the center of the town with beautiful, expansive gardens and their own private hot springs. It was magnificently decorated and looked like a small palace.


    The long table covered with beautiful tablecloths was also covered with plates of delicious food.


    Neither Tang Xin nor Fang Ziyue thought that the first exam would actually turn out to be a vacation.


    Both of them were girls. After knowing that Snow Maiden didn''t like to kill women and seeing the environment of this villa, their hearts were full of joy.


    However, Tang Xin was still a little worried and asked, "Is it allowed to extort the NPCs? Will it violate the rules of the exam room?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "No violation. I heard other candidates say that as long as it can be brought out, it counts as one''s own possessions. We can bring things in, so why shouldn¡¯t we be able to take them out?"


    Tang Xin said, "... I suppose."


    Lin Xinghe continued "No one knows where the next exam room will be, but gold has been an international currency since ancient times, and we can use it in most exam rooms. Money is something that gets better the more you have. There is an old saying that money can make even ghosts grind the mill. Besides, I''m not just stealing their money, and money is not that important compared to one¡¯s life. "


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said to them, "Everyone here gets a share, and each person gets a gold bar."


    Tang Xin didn''t expect to win gold bars even without doing much, so she was more determined to be the head disciple of the Lin Xinghe Sect, and started overly praising Lin Xinghe.


    Fang Ziyue was unwilling to be left behind and hurriedly squeezed beside Lin Xinghe, serving her tea and water.


    Li Chengyan was still skeptical of Lin Xinghe at first, but he joined the Lin Xinghe sect without hesitation after learning about last night''s show and today''s gold transaction.


    The three even gave Lin Xinghe''s sect a name in private¡ªthe Koi Sect.


    There was an uproar in the live broadcast room.


    ¡¾LMFAOOOOOO! The live broadcast of Tang Xin and these freshmen also became very entertaining under the influence of Lin Xinghe''s sassy operation. ¡¿


    ¡¾owo uwu q.q I also want to be in the same exam room as Lin Xinghe. Do nothing and win, get gold bars! I want to join the Koi God Cult! From now on, I will be a disciple of the Koi God Cult! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe, notice me! I would do anything for you. I can babysit Xiao Xue Ji, I can hold your tools, and I can even warm the bed for you! ¡¿


    ¡¾What about the person who said the day before yesterday that Lin Xinghe couldn''t rule this town? Eat crow hahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾The operation of this new student is indeed 666. It is not only through the slapstick operation that the Snow Maiden got canceled, but now she is preparing for a rainy day and begins to extort the mayor. If she''s not a big villain, who can be? ¡¿


    ¡¾Town residents: choosing between the two regimes of the villains of ice and fire. So sad hahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe just too gud.¡¿


    ¡¾Just saying, the Snow Maiden hasn''t appeared yet. Lin Xinghe is taking advantage of opportunities, but if she actually went head-to-head with Snow Maiden?...The probability of winning is only 20%, and this is mostly carried by Xiao Xue Ji. ¡¿


    Mayor Jia mandated 6 strong men to carry in a twenty-inch suitcase.


    He opened the suitcase and said, "I... I could only gather this amount. In order to thank you for your protection, we took out everything we could and didn''t hide anything."


    The 20-inch suitcase was not full, but Lin Xinghe roughly counted the articles inside. There were at least 40 gold bars of different sizes. In one of the pockets, there was some gold jewelry.


    As soon as the suitcase was opened, golden light shone from inside and dazzled everyone.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I see your sincerity, and you will see my sincerity in the future."

 CH 15.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 15.1


    Lin Xinghe gave Tang Xin a look.


    Tang Xin understood and immediately assumed the identity of the head disciple of the Koi Sect. She acted arrogantly as the wordsmith of her villain sect leader: "Please explain everything about Snow Maiden, including how she appeared, how she contacted you, and what she asked you to do. Expound in detail, if you may, as we need to see the full picture.¡±


    Mayor Jia did not dare to hide any information and immediately explained everything.


    The Snow Maiden appeared four months ago. At first, the villagers only noticed that she was a beautiful woman. This was until someone caught Zhang Zheng and the Snow Maiden at the hotel in the early hours of the morning.


    In the middle of the night at a hotel, seeing a married man and a strange and beautiful woman together¡ªeven if he thought with his toes, the witness knew what was going on. The next day, everyone in the village knew that Zhang Zheng had cheated, except for Zhang Zheng''s wife Meng Meng*.


    At that time, no one knew that the strange and beautiful woman was a dangerous person.


    Someone was on Meng Meng¡¯s side, so she quietly approached the Snow Maiden and told her that Zhang Zheng was married.


    Lin Xinghe heard this and asked, "Didn''t Zhang Zheng just die three months ago?"


    Mayor Jia sighed: "Yes, he died three months ago. After the Snow Maiden found out, she didn''t immediately retaliate, and we don''t know what she did. We only know that one month later, the Snow Maiden killed Zhang Zheng, dressed him in red, and hanged him upside down in Meng Meng''s house. Since then, the Snow Maiden has killed a man in our town every few days."


    "She never killed women?"


    "Yes."


    "The painting on the door was made by Snow Maiden for you to put up?"


    "After Zhang Zheng''s death, all of us had a pleasant dream, one after another. When we woke up, we all had a strange, unnamable scent that dissipated in three days. Later, we found out that the Snow Maiden marked us in our dreams, and the marked people were her prey. This mark, this mark! As long as someone was marked, the Snow Maiden could find him no matter where he fled. The Snow Maiden asked us to paste the door gods on the door after we were marked. "


    "How did the Snow Maiden contact you?"


    "When she appeared, it would snow suddenly, and when it snowed to a certain extent, she would appear. It would always be late at night, and she would be wearing a red dress, bearing a featureless face, to give us instructions."


    Lin Xinghe sighed disappointedly, "... This villain is too normal. She doesn''t even have lackeys to support her."


    Mayor Jia didn''t know how to answer this statement, so he could only compliment her, "You have a better presence."


    "The sixteen strangers who disappeared later, were they chosen by the Snow Maiden or by you?"


    Mayor Jia felt a little ashamed and said, "We had no other choice, the Snow Maiden needed offerings, and only men. If she didn¡¯t get these sacrifices, she would kill us. We could only make up the legend of the Snow Maiden to attract tourists, and each male could give us a short period of safety. After the strangers were marked, we led them to the ice sculpture garden or the amusement park. The Snow Maiden would then harvest their lives there and hang them in the ice sculpture garden. We were afraid of being held accountable by the outside world, so we could only destroy their bodies and falsely claim them to be missing on the snowy mountain."


    "The Snow Maiden doesn¡¯t kill women, so why do you have to lead women to the Ice Sculpture Garden? It''s not just men who come here. How do you deal with women?"


    "We are afraid that they would go out and reveal our secrets, so we locked all the female tourists in the dungeons."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Mayor Jia and thought to herself that the NPCs in this examination room were all villains.


    She was about to say something when she saw Mayor Jia''s gaze fall behind her.


    She looked behind her.


    Xiao Xue Ji had snuck up at some point.


    She still appeared in her five-mouthed, red-pupil shape, holding a phone in her hand, standing quietly and obediently behind her. Aware of Lin Xinghe¡¯s gaze, her curly, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn''t do anything, only lowered her head slightly.


    Lin Xinghe crouched down and asked Xiao Xue Ji, "What''s wrong?"


    Xiao Xue Ji then handed over the phone and pointed to the screen.


    Lin Xinghe looked and realized that the movie was over.


    Lin Xinghe pulled up another horror movie.


    She grabbed the phone and rushed away like the wind.


    Mayor Jia seemed to want to say something. He opened his mouth and closed it again.


    After this, Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°The Snow Maiden only kills one man at a time. When there are multiple men, she kills the first one. Does she leave the rest in the Ice Sculpture Garden or amusement park like lambs waiting to be slaughtered?"


    Mayor Jia said, "It depends on the Snow Maiden''s mood, but as long as someone is marked, the Snow Maiden will find and kill him."


    ¡­¡­


    TL Notes:


    *Meng Meng¡¯s name in Chinese characters is made up of the last name ¡°Meng¡± and the word ¡°Meng¡± meaning dream. They are pronounced the same way and written differently, so Meng Meng in this context is not a pet name like it usually would be.

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 15.2


    Li Chengyan''s expression turned dark, and he said, "Oh no, we left Brother Chai by himself.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, "Let''s go check on him."


    Lin Xinghe''s outstanding performance caused many people to stay in her livestream without eating or sleeping for fear of missing the most exciting parts. After obtaining the consent of most people during the lunch break, the students projected Lin Xinghe''s livestream in the cafeteria.


    Gu Taoyao, who signed up to join the Koi Sect, was eating a 0.1 point lunch, two vegetable dishes and one soup with unlimited rice.


    Gu Taoyao was fascinated.


    Several modern era department girls sitting near her were also discussing Lin Xinghe.


    "I was almost late today because I watched Lin Xinghe''s livestream."


    "Me too. I was afraid of missing Lin Xinghe''s pranks last night, and I didn''t sleep until five in the morning."


    "I''m ready to join the Koi Sect!"


    ¡­¡­


    Gu Taoyao had an inexplicable feeling of honor.


    ...Sect leader was the best!


    At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the cafeteria. The students from the modern era department who had been discussing Lin Xinghe immediately changed the topic.


    "Xie Wuan is so hot¡ªhe has no bad angles."


    "Shh, don''t meet Xie Wuan''s gaze, he¡¯s a big pervert, no matter how good-looking, he¡¯s still a pervert."


    "I''ll take a look quietly..."


    "Do you want to be made into a figurine?"


    "I heard that Xie Wuan''s portable space bubble is full of figurines that he made out of the defeated generals who died in his hands in the examination room and those who offended him..."


    "Oh my God, Xie Wuan sat down. He¡¯s watching Lin Xinghe''s live broadcast."


    "The last freshman whom Xie Wuan admired seems to have become a figurine in his space bubble..."


    Gu Taoyao had naturally heard the rumors about the playboy of the xianxia department. Now, seeing him staring at Lin Xinghe on the screen, she was a little worried about her deskmate.


    ... He was A! Really! Big! Pervert! Once, in Xie Wuan''s live broadcast, everyone saw Xie Wuan''s portable space bubble with their own eyes. It covered a vast area and had an endless meadow, and all of his figurines stood on it. The latest one was from the last exam room. It was a Spider Girl Boss, and when he killed it, he turned it into a corpse-puppet, and displayed them in his space bubble like an exhibit.


    Gu Taoyao was fortunate enough to witness the livestream with her own eyes. It was two o''clock in the morning, and when she saw the dense group of figurines, it sent a chill down her spine.


    Suddenly, Gu Taoyao heard someone say: "...An exciting event is coming, go and watch Chai Yong''s livestream!"


    When Gu Taoyao heard the words, she immediately clicked on Chai Yong''s streaming room.


    Chai Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, was caught by the Snow Maiden.


    The Snow Maiden''s fingers wrapped around Chai Yong''s neck.


    "...Don''t kill me, it wasn''t me who burned the ice sculpture garden or your amusement park. It was Lin Xinghe¡ªshe is very tricky, and now she has replaced your regime over the village. You alone may not be able to kill Lin Xinghe. You can cooperate with me¡ªas long as you don''t kill me, I will kill Lin Xinghe for you."


    Snow Maiden''s hand paused.


    Chai Yong, who gasped for air: "She is a devil, and she has a helper who can create illusions by her side. I know her weakness, I can tell you, as long as you don''t kill me. I can also give you advice... I ¡­¡±


    Snow Maiden''s long nails pierced through Chai Yong''s throat, and blood splattered everywhere.


    She murmured, "I. Don''t. Trust. Men."


    A system message popped up in Chai Yong''s livestream.


    ¡¾The livestream host Chai Yong has lost his vital signs. This livestream will automatically close in one minute. ¡¿


    ¡¾The countdown begins. ¡¿


    ¡¾60, 59, 58¡­¡¿


    The 60-second countdown appeared in the middle of the screen in red numbers.


    Everyone heard Li Chengyan''s voice in the distance, "Brother Chai, we''re here to see you..."


    At the same time, the Snow Maiden stared at Chai Yong''s body. After five seconds, she changed into Chai Yong''s appearance and hid Chai Yong''s body.


    She threw herself on the hospital bed, mimicking Chai Yong¡¯s peaceful expression before she appeared.


    The chat in the stream skyrocketed.


    ¡¾I''m so nervous~ ¡¿


    ¡¾Will our sect master get killed? Sighs. I just joined the sect, and I haven''t experienced the joy of doing nothing and winning and getting gold bars yet. ¡¿


    ¡¾The Snow Maiden is too powerful, Lin Xinghe would be killed in hand to hand combat. ¡¿


    ¡¾Sect Leader, come on! Master, you can do it! ¡¿


    ¡¾What does the Snow Maiden want to do? Cosplay without directly fighting with the Fire Maiden? ¡¿


    Gu Taoyao''s heart pounded in her throat.

    Li Chengyan reached the door of the hospital room first.


    The only hospital in the village was very simply decorated in the style of the 70s, with only one bed, a nightstand, and an old TV.


    The doctors performed a simple surgery on him last night, so Chai Yong got back some functions of his broken hand. His right shoulder was also treated and bandaged.


    Li Chengyan opened the door for Lin Xinghe, letting Lin Xinghe go in first.


    Lin Xinghe walked straight to Chai Yong''s hospital bed and asked, "Did the Snow Maiden come to see you?"


    "No."


    Li Chengyan speculated, "We burned the ice sculpture garden and the amusement park, destroying her weapons. She is probably seriously injured now, so she didn''t come to kill you."


    Fang Ziyue continued, "Brother Chai, you don''t know what happened last night. Sister Xinghe is so amazing! Now the whole town listens to us. We don''t live in the rescue center anymore, and the mayor here has arranged accommodation for us¡ªa three-story villa with a garden and a hot spring. The environment there is much better than the rescue center, and the food is also very good. We ate spicy lobster and hot pot at noon. Brother Chai, if you had listened to Sister Xinghe earlier, you wouldn¡¯t be in a hospital bed."


    Lin Xinghe was about to speak, but her eyes suddenly fell on the pillow of the hospital bed.


    Tiny bloodstains dotted the white cloth.


    She sniffed imperceptibly. Although the disinfectant alcohol in the hospital was very strong, a faint scent of blood floated out from underneath the bed.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that the doctors here are good. Brother Chai, you look better. It''s probably because you are very strong. Let''s take a selfie as a souvenir..."


    She said to Tang Xin, "Tang Xin, come take a photo, Li Chengyan, Fang Ziyue, you two stand on both sides of Brother Chai."


    Tang Xin didn''t know why Lin Xinghe suddenly wanted to take selfies, but when the sect leader spoke, she wouldn¡¯t ask why. She raised her phone and took a picture.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it, frowned, and said, "No, the people look too ugly. I blocked most of Brother Chai''s face, no, no. Tang Xin, you keep standing there. I will squat down, so as not to block Brother Chai''s face again."


    "Oh, okay."


    Lin Xinghe squatted.


    She raised her eyebrows and said, "Tang Xin, count one, two, three."


    As she spoke, her right hand hung down, grabbed the phone in her pocket, took a picture of the space under the bed, and put the phone back as if nothing had happened.


    Tang Xin came over: "Is this photo good enough?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Send it to me, I''ll edit it."


    The phones had been brought into the examination room from the villain''s school. Although the functions of the mobile phone here were too limited, the functions that did not require wifi, such as taking pictures, could still be used.


    Tang Xin sent the photo to Lin Xinghe through Bluetooth.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it and said, "It¡¯s still not good. Your photography skills aren¡¯t that good. How about you go and stand by Fang Ziyue, and I''ll take the photo"


    While Fang Ziyue was walking towards the others, Lin Xinghe opened the photo she just took.


    The lighting was dim, but it was enough to take a clear picture of the bottom of the bed.


    It was a tragically dead face.


    Chai Yong''s face was purple from the bloating.


    Lin Xinghe clicked into the photo without warning, and it was broadcasted on the big screen in the canteen, causing all the students to set down their food and chopsticks.


    "Geez, this is too heavy to see during a meal."


    "Lin Xinghe is quite clever. She quietly discovered that Chai Yong was under the bed, which means that the one above was the Snow Maiden."


    "Ah, I''m still very nervous, I''m afraid that the Snow Maiden will kill our sect leader."


    "Lin Xinghe''s mental fortitude is really good. When she saw such a gruesome photo, her expression didn''t even change, and she even smiled and faked taking pictures of them."


    Gu Taoyao quietly glanced at Xie Wuan.


    From her perspective, she could just see Xie Wuan''s extremely focused expression.


    It was also at this time that a line of words appeared in the reward column of Lin Xinghe''s livestream¡ª¡ª


    Xie Wuan awarded the anchor Lin Xinghe five deep-water torpedoes.


    Everyone in the cafeteria immediately looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan himself kept watching Lin Xinghe''s live broadcast without so much as a twitch.


    The students close to Gu Taoyao started discussing the matter at once.


    "This¡­ this is too ostentatious. The five deep-water torpedoes can make one upgrade from D-level directly to C-level. Only an S-level student like Xie Wuan can spend so much money."


    "One deep-water torpedo is 100 points, and five amounts to 500 points. The school and the streamer''s points are divided in a 9:1 ratio. Lin Xinghe just got 50 points, which is equivalent to one month''s tuition and accommodation fees."


    "Lin Xinghe has made a lot of money in this exam room from the 50 guaranteed points and Xie Wuan''s reward. After 100 points, it is not considered a reward from the audience. Although it cannot be converted into points, it is split equally. Lin Xinghe can buy a relatively good low-quality life-saving prop with this money."


    "I envy her¡­"


    "Same¡­ "


    At this time, Lin Xinghe quietly put away her mobile phone and returned to the hospital bed.


    She looked at "Chai Yong" with concern.

 CH 16.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 16.2


    "I heard Mayor Jia talk about the Snow Maiden. After the Snow Maiden knew that she was Zhang Zheng¡¯s mistress, she did not kill Zhang Zheng immediately, but instead waited a full month. During this month, the Snow Maiden must have lived such tormented days¡­ Zhang Zheng was such a scumbag, deceiving the feelings of the two girls. The Snow Maiden directly killing him would be less than what he deserved!"


    Her gaze was extremely sincere, and her tone was as gentle as iced plum wine in midsummer.


    "...Brother Chai, did you know? After learning that their partner is cheating or flirting with other girls, women in this world will do three things. The first is the decisively-leaving type. The second is the clingy type who weeps and complains and still doesn''t want to leave. The third type is entangled by the memories, sometimes recalling his good traits and sometimes recalling his dirty deeds.


    ...The world praises the first type and thinks that they are decisive and courageous¡ªthey wrap up their feelings neatly without dragging their feet. They criticize the second type, thinking that humans should be used to dealing with other crappy humans. In fact, these two types are in the minority. More women would experience the third situation¡ªa relationship with feelings takes some time to get over.


    ...The Snow Maiden is the third type, so she gave herself a month. I can understand her very well, and I can even guess how miserable she was in that month. She pretended to be normal with Zhang Zheng, and his sweetness made her heart comforted and sore at the same time. This kind of sweetness is a sweetness with edges of broken glass, and every time she tasted it, the wounds in her heart were torn back open bloodily. I believe that she gave Zhang Zheng and herself a chance, but only on the surface. Once she was alone, she couldn''t help but think of Zhang Zheng''s betrayal. She thought about it again and again, felt sad again and again, and felt wronged again and again. In the seemingly peaceful month, there must have been so many waves of turmoil in her heart. She hated Zhang Zheng''s betrayal and hated herself more for not being able to get out of that relationship. She loved Zhang Zheng and hated him all the same¡­


    ... Zhang Zheng may have been very confused as to why the Snow Maiden''s eyes sometimes became indifferent. He certainly didn''t know that the Snow Maiden was trying hard to pull herself out of the quagmire of feelings, and the grievances and sorrows went to her head. After crying until her eyes were dry, she made up her mind to say goodbye to this relationship."


    "Chai Yong" stared blankly at Lin Xinghe.


    He said in a hoarse voice, "You understand women very well."


    Lin Xinghe''s voice became more and more gentle: "I actually admire the Snow Maiden. Although her methods are a bit extreme, she is better than many of the women out there. Zhang Zheng was in the wrong, and when the residents of the town told the Snow Maiden that she was the mistress, she did not take her anger out on the villagers or kill Zhang Zheng''s wife. This is admirable. Although I¡¯m reigning over this town, I don''t want to be the enemy of the Snow Maiden. We are all women, we should not stand on the opposite sides. The Snow Maiden and the Fire Maiden can coexist, right?"


    Lin Xinghe said again, "Brother Chai, you have been marked by the Snow Maiden. When the Snow Maiden looks for you, can you tell her these words?"


    She raised her eyebrows and smiled like a gentle and intimate sister.


    The Snow Maiden instantly wished that she had met Lin Xinghe earlier.


    Lin Xinghe added, "The environment here is not fun, and you are alone. Why don''t you come back to the villa with us; if you need treatment, we can ask the doctor to come over. We can go to the hot spring, drink a little wine, watch the stars and moon, and talk about life. How about it?"


    "Okay."


    ¡¾Hey, Snow Maiden, you are the big boss! How could Lin Xinghe defeat you with her honey-sweet cannon attacks?! ¡¿


    ¡¾It depends on what kind of talking strategy! The Snow Maiden was still in love, so Lin Xinghe''s words really touched her heart. Did Lin Xinghe study psychology before? Her words almost made me cry. I also met a flirtatious player before, and I went back and forth for a long time in just this way before I finally made up my mind to leave. It''s exactly the same as what Lin Xinghe said, sweetness with edges of broken glass that hurts every time you taste it. ¡¿


    ¡¾If I were the Snow Maiden, I would be willing to go with Lin Xinghe! She just talks too kindly! Who doesn''t want to have an understanding yet gentle big sister to accompany you after a breakup? ¡¿


    ¡¾Congratulations to our sect leader for not starting a fight and winning the Snow Maiden over with words! ¡¿


    ¡¾Don''t count your chickens before they hatch. Who knows if the Snow Maiden will backstab Lin Xinghe and start going on a killing rampage?¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m curious¡ªLin Xinghe¡¯s words were so genuine, she must have encountered a scumbag before!¡¿


    ¡¾Just pointing out that Lin Xinghe is quite right. The Snow Maiden is still very level headed when it comes to dealing with women, and she didn¡¯t even hurt Zhang Zheng¡¯s wife. If I learned that I was the mistress of a scumbag and his girlfriend or wife appeared, I would disregard everything and kill her on the spot.¡¿

 CH 17.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 17.1


    After Lin Xinghe returned to the villa, she quietly held a meeting with Tang Xin, Fang Ziyue, and Li Chengyan while the household staff cleaned up a room for Chai Yong.


    When he learned that Chai Yong was dead, and the current ¡°Chai Yong¡± was actually the big boss Snow Maiden, Li Chengyan was in a bad mood.


    He may not be able to beat ¡°Chai Yong¡± in a solo fight, let alone an unnatural creature like the Snow Maiden, who could kill him easy as breathing.


    Li Chengyan shut off his brain and asked Lin Xinghe, "What should we do?"


    Fang Ziyue said, "The Snow Maiden agreed to come with Sister Xinghe, so maybe she wants to change her evil ways? Otherwise, in the hospital, she could have killed us directly, but she didn''t. She must have been moved by Sister Xinghe and wanted to be friendly with her.¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, "It''s impossible for her to just realize her evils and become good. Even if she relates to my words, it¡¯s only her realizing her mental journey. That won¡¯t change her behavior if it''s caused by emotional injury. She agreed with me but will not change herself."


    Li Chengyan''s face was pale, and he asked, "I... am I dead for sure?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Not necessarily."


    "So it''s possible that I die???"


    Lin Xinghe said: "Don''t be so pessimistic. The Snow Maiden agreed with my words, which proves that she is perceptive. When dealing with perceptive creatures, you must let them do what they like.¡±


    "How...how do you let them do what they want?"


    "She likes to kill people, so let her kill.¡±


    As soon as Lin Xinghe said these words, Tang Xin and Fang Ziyue shivered in unison. Everyone was a villain, and their ideological awareness was not as high as a big villain like Lin Xinghe. After all, it was none of their business¡ªboth of them silently bowed their heads, and felt lucky that it was not them being killed.


    Li Chengyan felt fear right down to his bones and said, "But didn''t you promise Mayor Jia to protect the people in this town?"


    ¡­ Did she want to watch him die?


    Lin Xinghe realized the ambiguity in her words and replied, "What are you thinking? Even if she is a villain, she won¡¯t kill people for no reason. What is the definition of a villain? The opposition to the main characters is the villain. But the protagonist might not necessarily be righteous. Evil and justice are always changing, and even if the protagonist is decent, there will be times he or she will have evil thoughts. And although I am a villain, I still have my principles."


    Lin Xinghe said, "You guys stay here, I''ll go talk to the Snow Maiden."


    Tang Xin was stunned. She asked, "Why are you talking to the Snow Maiden?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I have to negotiate about some murders with her¡ªstriking while the iron is hot is our best bet. Since the Snow Maiden feels comfortable with me, her acceptance has reached the highest point, so now is the most suitable time for me to negotiate with her. If I make her wait for a long time, the result might not be so good."


    Thinking of something, she stopped in her tracks and said, "Call Mayor Jia over first."


    After receiving the summons, Mayor Jia rushed over quickly. After learning about Lin Xinghe''s request, he was a little stunned and said, "Why do you want¡­ these?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "Don¡¯t worry about it."


    Seeing that Lin Xinghe''s face was unusually solemn, Mayor Jia did not dare to inquire more about it.


    Lin Xinghe''s request was easy to fulfill¡ªall Major Jia needed to do was drop into the village police station. Within ten minutes, the mayor obtained a thick stack of freshly printed A4 paper. Before the ink was dry, it arrived in Lin Xinghe''s hands.


    Lin Xinghe carried the stack of paper and entered "Chai Yong"''s room.


    "Chai Yong" stood in front of the windowsill and seemed to be looking at the distant scenery.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Has the Snow Maiden been here?"


    "Chai Yong" turned around, looked at her, and asked, "Do you really want to see the Snow Maiden?"


    "Yes, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I need to meet her."


    "Aren''t you afraid she will kill you?"


    "She had the forbearance to kill Zhang Zheng a month after she found out about the affair, and she didn¡¯t even hurt Meng Meng. What reason would she have to kill me?"


    "Chai Yong" looked at her intensely.


    Suddenly, her appearance and body changed into the form of the Snow Maiden.


    She was wearing a red cross-collar skirt. Her long black hair fell to the ground, and her figure was slender under the traditional clothes.


    This was the first time Lin Xinghe had seen Snow Maiden''s face.


    Jade-white skin, perfectly-proportioned features, lashes as delicate as butterfly wings, sultry yet dainty eyes¡ªthe epitome of every ancient emperor¡¯s favorite concubine.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes were as wide as saucers and she couldn''t help but truthfully say, "Sister, you are too beautiful! With such a face, such a figure, and such a temperament, what man would refuse you? Men will be at your beck and call, and if your sexuality isn¡¯t completely straight, women will desire you too! Oh my god, sister, your skin¡ªpure, perfect skin¡ª is it natural? Or is it part of your illusion?"


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s compliments were sincere, and she showed this through her tone and demeanor.


    The Snow Maiden originally wanted to put Lin Xinghe in her place, but after those compliments, she was too embarrassed to bitch slap her. The people in the town called them the Snow Maiden and the Fire Maiden, so the two were indeed able to sit on an equal footing, especially if Lin Xinghe had some skill.


    The Snow Maiden accepted Lin Xinghe addressing her as "sister" wholeheartedly.

 CH 17.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 17.2


    There was no woman who didn''t like others complimenting her beauty, especially paired with Lin Xinghe''s heartfelt admiration.


    She slightly parted her ruby-red lips and said, "... natural."


    Lin Xinghe continued, "I envy you so much. I have always wanted clear, pale skin and mesmerizing eyes. Look at my round face and almond eyes. Although my appearance might be sweet, it is not dazzling, like yours. In the whole world, you might have the most beautiful face. If you changed your clothes, I think you could walk the red carpet right now, even without makeup. I see that you seem to be wearing cross-collar skirts all the time. Were you born in ancient times? Or do you have an interest in Hanfu*? Have you tried other types of clothes?"


    "I was born in the Jin Dynasty**, the times have changed, and I am used to wearing all kinds of Ru skirts***."


    ... Was there even a Jin Dynasty?


    After thinking about it, Lin Xinghe realized that this was probably true. The world she was originally in was actually a novel¡ªthe author made up the setting. For example, she and her deskmate Gu Taoyao thought that different cities were the capitals of the same country, even though they were both considered ¡°modern¡± villains.


    Presumably, the exam room was just another novel-world.


    "It''s a pity, your looks and figure, if you were to try other types of clothes, it must also look good."


    Lin Xinghe walked to the closet and opened it.


    The villa that Mayor Jia prepared for her used to have another owner.


    It is said that he and his family left the town by plane before encountering the Snow Maiden.


    That¡¯s why the villa was vacant.


    The room allocated to Chai Yong also had a walk-in closet¡ªsome of the clothes of the former hostess were left in it. Considering the Snow Maiden''s conservative approach to clothes, she chose a half off-shoulder black floor-length dress and held it out. She said to the Snow Maiden, "I think you will look good in this skirt."


    Snow Maiden stared at the dress in her hand.


    Seconds ticked by.


    "¡­¡­I¡¯ll try it on."


    ¡¾Did I accidentally enter a live dressing room? ¡¿


    ¡¾I thought it was a boss fight¡­ they call each other sisters, like friends do. ¡¿


    ¡¾No, who can resist Lin Xinghe''s praise! ¡¿


    ¡¾The sect leader''s mouth-cannon skill is top tier! ¡¿


    When the Snow Maiden came out of the fitting room, Lin Xinghe''s eyes lit up.


    She rambled, "Beautiful, so beautiful, this dress seems to be tailor-made for you. It not only shows off your exquisite figure but also highlights your gorgeous and charming constitution. If your hair was in a bun, it would be even better. You can show off your slender neck and snow-white shoulders..."


    The Snow Maiden looked at herself in the full-length mirror and felt a little invigorated, as if something was gradually melting.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe took her hand and said sincerely, "Sister, let''s do something big together. Don''t you like to kill men? Let''s kill all the bad men in the world together. Let''s work together for the welfare of women!"


    Lin Xinghe took  out a sheet of A4 paper on the table, and pointed at aman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks on it. She said, "Let''s kill this man. He is extremely vicious, a wanted criminal whose bounty is worth 200,000 dollars! He abducted and sold countless children, shattered the families of countless people, and raped many women. He is simply scum, the scum of men! I think with your ability, you will be able to find him quickly and..."


    Lin Xinghe paused and looked at the Snow Maiden.


    The Snow Maiden replied, "Kill him?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "That''s too cheap for him. Death is never the most terrifying form of punishment. After all, society is ruled by law. We will find him and hand him over to the police. He accepts the trial of the law, makes everyone cast aside him, and makes him a street rat. You can also torture him before you turn him in."


    Lin Xinghe asked: "From now on, the world is your stage. You can kill as much scum as you want. You can even have a tailored uniform and a Western-style name, Charlie''s Angels. Are you excited?"


    ¡¾Excited? I''m all excited! The Snow Maiden, wait no, Charlie''s Angels, tell me your heart is moved! ¡¿


    ¡¾Aside from the Snow Maiden being a murderer, I somehow feel that the the Snow Maiden and the Fire Maiden are a very matching duo! One is in charge of intelligence, the other is in charge of force, and they are undefeatable! Amirite?¡¿


    ¡¾My stomach hurts from laughing, Lin Xinghe, it''s a waste of you not to do MLM. You have a natural talent for marketing ahaha¡¿


    ¡¾A brief introduction for people who just entered the livestream! Our anchor today as the leader of the Koi Sect, and you can never guess what she will do next. She is cute and sweet, the most charming villain you¡¯ll ever meet! ¡¿


    ¡¾To be honest, when she brought Snow Maiden back to the villa, I never imagined that the plot would develop like this. She even coaxed the boss of the exam room to kill the wanted criminal! This is called teaching according to aptitude! The country owes you a top ten moving figure award. ¡¿


    ¡¾Actually, I think the sect leader may have taken a fancy to the bounty. Se can make the boss work and collect money. The best of both worlds. ¡¿


    The Snow Maiden was moved by Lin Xinghe¡¯s plan.


    She looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand, "Sister, are we doing this?"


    Snow Maiden reached out and clasped it.


    "We are."

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 18.1


    The Snow Maiden''s work efficiency was extremely high¡ªit was almost as if the criminals had GPS signals attached to their bodies. Additionally, she could use snow as a medium to instantly teleport to somewhere thousands of miles away.


    In less than half a day, the Snow Maiden found the first wanted criminal, tortured him within an inch of his life, and handed him over to the police.


    When the Snow Maiden came back, the wanted criminal¡¯s blood was still splattered on her face, but her eyes were as bright as stars, and she looked content.


    Lin Xinghe took a towel soaked in warm water and gently wiped the bloodstains away.


    The Snow Maiden said, "He was so scared that his feces and urine came out. Also, he was about to commit suicide, but I stopped him. You are right. The cruelest way to torture someone is to make their life worse than death."


    Then, the Snow Maiden asked, "Who''s next?"


    Lin Xinghe asked back, "Aren''t you going to rest?"


    The Snow Maiden looked to the side and muttered, "I don¡¯t rest."


    Lin Xinghe said hurriedly, "The next wanted criminal is a taxi driver. One night, he picked up a high school student who had just graduated and entered university. Seeing her youthful face, he drove the car to a remote place and carried out a brutal and inhumane act. She was raped and murdered, and her remains were thrown into the wilderness. Her parents¡¯ turned white overnight from shock, horror and anger. They were willing to pay any price as long as the murderer could be brought to justice. According to eyewitnesses, the last time the taxi driver appeared was in a neighboring city."


    After the Snow Maiden finished her second bounty, she came back to the mountain village late at night.


    The small town, frosted over and dark, was quiet, like every day and night she spent in the deep mountains. Quiet, lonely, and isolated. She had grown fond of loneliness after a long time¡ªshe had been accustomed to the days without light. But light once again appeared in her life. It would take a long, long time to adapt.


    She hated men, hated all the males in the world.


    They should all die.


    She looked at the villa not far away. Although it was approaching daybreak, the first floor was still lit.


    There was a petite silhouette behind the window.


    As if sensing something, the girl behind the window pushed it open.


    Lin Xinghe waved at her.


    "You¡¯ve come back."


    At that moment, the Snow Maiden felt that she had seen the light again.


    She walked back to the villa, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Xinghe was already standing in the entrance, holding a cup of hot tea.


    She smiled and said, "It''s hard work, please have a cup of tea."


    Lin Xinghe led her to the sofa and asked her, "Are you tired? Do you want to soak in the hot springs together? I¡¯ve even prepared a bathing suit for you. After the hot spring, I will send someone to bring us something delicious. We can eat hot pot and drink sour plum soup. Killing people in hot springs and eating hot pot is the best match.¡±


    Such a warm and comfortable scene was hard to refuse.


    A small bamboo forest had been planted behind the villa.


    There was a shallow pool surrounded with flat stones in the bamboo forest¡ª the hot spring water was drawn directly from the mountains.


    At that time, it was winter, with snow all over the garden and on the mountains in the distance. Heavy frost flowers on the green bamboo stalks. When the breeze blew, the snow fell softly, disappearing into the steaming hot springs.


    Lin Xinghe exhaled comfortably and said to the Snow Maiden with a smile, "I heard from Mayor Jia today that you brought many criminals to justice. The police wanted to send you a banner, but you refused."


    The Snow Maiden murmured, ¡°... The victim''s parents were there."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Huh? What did they do?"


    "They were grateful to me. The victim''s mother clasped my hand to her chest and cried, saying that my good karma will come back for me in the future."


    "How do you feel about that?"


    "...I don¡¯t hate it."


    Lin Xinghe smiled deeper and said, "That''s good, are you going to go hunting tomorrow?"


    "I will."


    Lin Xinghe then asked, "What¡¯s your favorite thing to eat in hot pot?"


    The Snow Maiden said, "I have eaten hot pot with Zhang Zheng, and he likes to eat fatty lamb."


    "He¡¯s irrelevant. What do you like?"


    "I¡¯m vegetarian. I like green vegetables."


    "Can you eat spicy food?"


    "Yes."


    Lin Xinghe called Mayor Jia and asked him to prepare and deliver the dishes and seasonings for hot pot.


    Facing the demands of the village¡¯s current ruler and the previous ruler, Mayor Jia did not dare to disobey, but he was afraid of the Snow Maiden. After all, he was a man and prone to the wiles of the Snow Maiden, so he sent his wife and daughter over to deliver hot pot.


    Mayor Jia''s wife, Mrs. Jia, was only in her early twenties, and her daughter was about three or four years old. She was wrapped in a red padded jacket and small padded shoes. She clung to her mother, probably because she was scared of strangers. Half her small head poked out from behind her mother¡¯s leg.


    Lin Xinghe thanked them. Then, she realized that the Snow Maiden was staring at the little girl.


    Mrs. Jia was a little nervous, so she blocked the Snow Maiden''s view calmly, lowered her head, and said quickly, "You...here are all the dishes you requested, I...I''ll be going."


    Unexpectedly, the Snow Maiden commanded, "Wait."


    Mrs. Jia was so frightened that she started trembling, but in order to protect her daughter, she bravely stammered out, "Do the honored guests have any other requests?"


    The Snow Maiden walked over and bent down in front of the little girl. Her slender fingers stroked the little girl''s pink, chubby face, and asked, "How old are you?"


    "Three and a half years old."


    "What is your name?"


    "Jia Qiuqiu.*"


    Mrs. Jia didn''t know what to do, so she turned to Lin Xinghe for help.


    Lin Xinghe shook her head, signaling her not to panic.


    Mrs. Jia pretended to be calm and said, "Qiuqiu, say goodbye to the nice auntie. It''s time to go back to sleep."


    The little girl said shyly, "Goodbye Auntie."


    The Snow Maiden reluctantly let go.


    TL Notes:


    *The characters for Qiuqiu literally mean ball ball. It¡¯s usually used as a pet name, but as she¡¯s an NPC, maybe the exam proctors got tired of naming them well and used their descriptions.

 CH 18.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 18.2


    Mrs. Jia took her daughter''s hand and hurriedly left the villa.


    The Snow Maiden watched their backs until they completely disappeared from her sight before turning her head to look at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe looked in his eyes and asked, "Do you like little girls?"


    But the Snow Maiden said, "No, I hate all children; they are the most annoying things in the world."


    For several days, the Snow Maiden went out to hunt people.


    The Snow Maiden seemed to fall in love with the feeling of killing wanted criminals. At first, it was two a day, and then it gradually became four or even five a day.


    Lin Xinghe stayed for the Snow Maiden every day, waiting for her to return to the hot spring to eat hot pot and drink sour plum soup.


    The days seemed to pass peacefully.


    Lin Xinghe was like the obedient wife waiting for her husband to return from work. She was gentle, virtuous and considerate. On the fourth day, it was already the sixth day that everyone had been in the examination room.


    The rhythm of the examination room earlier was too fast. After all, on the first day, Lin Xinghe caught Xiao Xue Ji, and on the second day, the Ice Sculpture Garden and Winter Paradise amusement park were burned down. That night, the Snow Maiden''s rule over the town was overturned. On the third day, Lin Xinghe got close to the Snow Maiden, but on the fourth day, the fifth day and the sixth day, nothing much changed.


    The candidates who were banking on Lin Xinghe to win for them did not know what she was thinking.


    When the Snow Maiden left the villa, Tang Xin found Lin Xinghe in the back and asked in a low voice, "Our exam question is to kill the Snow Maiden. Now that the Snow Maiden has changed her mind, how do we kill her?"


    Lin Xinghe drank the sour plum soup slowly and said even more slowly, "We are killing her."


    Tang Xin was puzzled and asked, "...We are?"


    "We are all ordinary people, but the Snow Maiden is not. One wave of her hand is enough to smite us into our graves. Although she trusts me, she doesn¡¯t trust me enough to expose her Achilles'' heel, otherwise Zhang Zheng could have killed her too. We can¡¯t kill her directly by force, so we can only do it slowly."


    Lin Xinghe added: "...she didn''t kill men for the purpose of killing people. She just thought men were scumbags and they all deserved to die, which means her mentality is not completely anti-human. She does not take pleasure in killing, nor does she enjoy the thrill of killing. She just thinks men deserve to die, so it''s an alternative and extreme sense of justice.


    ... Now that she kills the wanted criminals, she can also get the pleasure of justice. However, the key is here. She eradicates the bad guys who have done many evils and gets flowers and acclaim. She is immersed in this happiness and accepts the victim''s family¡¯s praise and gratitude. Her current identity is a righteous messenger who punishes evil. When she gets more praise and gratitude, and climbs to a certain value, she will feel more and more contradictory inside. She was a villain in the past and destroyed other families. She is emotional and will suffer from a guilty conscience. When she can''t stand it anymore, she will kill herself without us needing to do anything."


    Lin Xinghe said word by word, "For the Snow Maiden, killing is a punishment."


    Tang Xin was amazed, "Ah, so that¡¯s how it is."


    Lin Xinghe added, "She used to kill a man every few days, but now she kills four or five a day, which proves that my idea is right¡ªher conscience has already begun to suffer, and she can only kill more bad people to make up for it. She feels guilty and numbs inside. When she comes back one day and sees the residents of the town mourning their lost ones that she killed, she will explode emotionally."


    Tang Xin whispered, "I thought you and the Snow Maiden were good sisters, and you would be reluctant to let her die."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at her and asked, "Why would you think that?"


    Tang Xin said, "Don''t you admire the Snow Maiden very much?"


    Lin Xinghe said: "I really appreciate the fact that when a man makes mistakes, the Snow Maiden doesn''t blame his woman, because many people can''t separate the two affairs. I also appreciate her sensibility, like the epitome of girlbosses; she transforms to kill wanted criminals and garners the appreciation of many families. But so far, including the people in the town, she has killed a total of 26 people, which is equivalent to destroying 26 families. Just because the villain has reformed doesn¡¯t mean that they shouldn¡¯t be held accountable for their past mistakes. As long as you exist, whether you are a child or an adult, you will have to pay for your actions in this world. No matter what kind of behavior, as long as you make a mistake, one day you will need to pay for it. For example, Zhang Zheng was a cheater, and the price of his mistake was death by Snow Maiden. And the Snow Maiden has destroyed twenty-six families. I don¡¯t know what price she will pay, but one day, the heavens will rain down their judgment upon her."


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe added, "I do admire the Snow Maiden, but she has made too many mistakes. I can only give her the gentlest knife and help her realize her faults as soon as possible. As long as she can pay off her past debts, while her body might die, at least her heart will be relieved at the end."


    Tang Xin couldn¡¯t comprehend what Lin Xinghe was thinking. Feeling that her own thoughts and consciousness couldn''t keep up, she could only give a thumbs up and say, "Your views are morally sound!"


    Lin Xinghe frowned slightly at this time¡ªshe always felt that she had missed something.


    Although the exam is coming to an end, she seems to have missed some key information. She felt a sense of inconsistency.


    And this sense of inconsistency was very strong.

 CH 19.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 19.1


    That night, when Mayor Jia''s wife and daughter came to deliver hot pot, Lin Xinghe finally found out where the conflict was.


    Every time Mrs. Jia''s daughter came, the Snow Maiden would stare straight at the cute little girl, which made Mrs. Jia''s heart tremble every time. But the Snow Maiden had said that she hated all the children in this world.


    But her gaze at Jia Qiuqiu was clearly not disgusted; it could even be said to be gentle.


    Such a contradiction created a sense of inconsistency.


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe realized something. After the Snow Maiden moved into the villa, Xiao Xue Ji had not appeared for a long, long time. Xiao Xue Ji hadn¡¯t come to bother anyone in a while. Lin Xinghe hadn¡¯t noticed earlier because she wouldn¡¯t need to find Xiao Xue Ji unless something happened.


    Now that a few days had passed, the phone that she had been playing horror movies on should have died long ago.


    If Xiao Xue Ji wanted to watch a new horror movie, she should have come to ask, but she didn''t. Everything was quiet, as if there wasn¡¯t a child in the villa.


    Lin Xinghe went to Xiao Xue Ji''s room¡ªbut Xiao Xue Ji was not in the bedroom.


    She searched the entire villa, but there was no sign of Xiao Xue Ji.


    Lin Xinghe fell into deep thought¡ªwhat was the true relationship between Xiao Xue Ji and the Snow Maiden?


    ...Xiao Xue Ji was afraid of the Snow Maiden, and the Snow Maiden¡¯s body language was truthful when she said she hated little children. Could it be that Xiao Xue Ji was the Snow Maiden''s daughter?


    At first, Lin Xinghe felt that it was impossible.


    If Xiao Xue Ji was the daughter of the Snow Maiden, who was the father? She and Zhang Zheng had only been in love for four or five months. Four or five months was not enough time to give birth to a daughter.


    But in the next heartbeat, Lin Xinghe felt that it was not impossible.


    Snow Maiden did not necessarily have to follow a human pregnancy timeline.


    But if Xiao Xue Ji were really the Snow Maiden''s daughter, why was Xiao Xue Ji afraid of her own mother? How could she witness the scene of the Snow Maiden killing Zhang Zheng? Even when the Snow Maiden hung Zhang Zheng at Meng Meng''s house, Xiao Xue Ji saw it with her own eyes.


    With the Snow Maiden''s powers, it must mean that the Snow Maiden acquiesced to the presence of Xiao Xue Ji.


    The next day, after the Snow Maiden left, Lin Xinghe called Mayor Jia.


    Before Lin Xinghe realized something was wrong, she thought nothing of it, but then, she remembered that Mayor Jia had always looked at Xiao Xue Ji a little strangely.


    She asked Mayor Jia, "What do you know about the little girl with five mouths?"


    Mayor Jia replied, "When Snow Maiden appeared in our town, she occasionally brought the little girl with her."


    "What is their relationship?"


    Mayor Jia said, "I don''t know."


    Tang Xin chimed in, "You have a good relationship with the Snow Maiden, so why don''t you ask her directly?"


    Lin Xinghe naturally thought about it, but she had talked to the Snow Maiden about Zhang Zheng in the past, and the Snow Maiden never mentioned the existence of Xiao Xue Ji. That meant she didn''t want to talk about Xiao Xue Ji, so Lin Xinghe thought asking outright might be a mistake.


    At this time, Xiao Xue Ji suddenly appeared in the villa.


    The five mouths on her face disappeared, and she turned into the cute appearance of a normal human toddler. She toddled towards Lin Xinghe and the others.


    Tang Xin was still afraid of her and quietly took a few steps back.


    Lin Xinghe squatted down and asked softly, "Where have you been these days?"


    Xiao Xue Ji didn''t answer.


    She grabbed Lin Xinghe''s hand.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you want to bring me somewhere?"


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, you walk ahead of me, and I¡¯ll follow you."


    Xiao Xue Ji then let go of her hand.


    Not long after, Xiao Xue Ji took her to the rescue center.


    The arrival of Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji made everyone in the rescue center panic, and they hurriedly asked Lin Xinghe what service she needed. Xiao Xue Ji pointed to a helicopter on the poster.


    Lin Xinghe commanded, "I need a helicopter, the sooner the better."


    If Lin Xinghe requested it, the staff did not dare to disobey. Originally, it would have taken a few days to approve the flight course and passengers and what not, but  Lin Xinghe was a VVVIP, so they dispatched a helicopter and someone to fly it within half an hour.


    After Lin Xinghe got on board, the captain asked Lin Xinghe where she was going.


    Xiao Xue Ji pointed to the mountain.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Please fly to the mountains, and I''ll tell you when it''s time to stop."


    Lin Xinghe felt that Xiao Xue Ji was quite smart. She knew that they could go up the mountain by helicopter. If they had gone by foot, her legs would be turned to mush before they even got close. Xiao Xue Ji pulled her in front of the window, and after a period of time, she turned to look at Lin Xinghe and pulled on her hand.


    Lin Xinghe understood and asked the helicopter to take them down.


    Lin Xinghe wasn''t sure how long she was going to stay there, so she asked the captain to go back first. She had his contact info, so she could communicate when she needed to pick up.


    Lin Xinghe looked around.


    There was a vast expanse of snow all around, no vegetation to be seen, and nothing but a biting cold wind. Before Lin Xinghe went up the mountain, the staff at the rescue center lent her a set of equipment for going up the mountain. Even so, she still felt cold.


    At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji suddenly turned into a giant wolf, half the height of an adult. It howled at Lin Xinghe, motioning her to come up.

 CH 19.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 19.2


    Lin Xinghe said, "Wow, you can turn into such a beautiful wolf. I thought you could only turn into a snake and a fly."


    Saying that, she climbed onto the back of the snow wolf.


    As soon as she was seated firmly, Xiao Xue Ji started running.


    Xiao Xue Ji was extremely fast. The wind and snow blowing on her face made Lin Xinghe almost unable to open her eyes. When the snow stopped, she suddenly realized that Xiao Xue Ji had brought them to a cave.


    The cave was a treasure cave.


    The stone walls were inlaid with luminescent pearls the size of a fist, crystal clear in color. They illuminated the dark cave as bright as day. The ground was made of jade and covered with soft brocade. Furniture made from red sandalwood was placed tastefully around the cave in an ancient design. Just a few hairpins overflowed from the makeup box on the dresser, all of which were studded with priceless gems.


    Further inside was a steaming pool, separated from the main cave by a floor-to-ceiling double-sided embroidered screen.


    Lin Xinghe had seen this pond when Xiao Xue Ji showed her the Snow Maiden and Zhang Zheng doing indescribable things.


    She asked, "Is this the Snow Maiden''s lair?"


    Xiao Xue Ji had already transformed back into human form and nodded.


    Lin Xinghe swallowed her saliva and said with emotion, "The Snow Maiden... she might be richer than the rest of the country combined."


    Xiao Xue Ji opened a drawer in the dresser, took out a yellowed scroll, and handed it to Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe unrolled the scroll and couldn''t help but be slightly startled at the contents.


    A family of three was pictured.


    There was the Snow Maiden, Xiao Xue Ji, and another man. He was not Zhang Zheng but rather someone who lived in ancient times. He looked dashingly handsome, a perfect match for the beautiful Snow Maiden. Coupled with the jade-carved Xiao Xue Ji, the family of three looked dazzling.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the seal carefully and knew that it was a painting from the Jin Dynasty.


    She asked, "Are these your parents?"


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Even someone as levelheaded as Lin Xinghe was a little stunned at this moment. She never thought that the Snow Maiden had an ex and a child with him.


    She asked Xiao Xue Ji, "Was your father human?"


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    She took out a bunch of photos from the drawer of the dresser, a modern photograph. The photos were all of the family of three in the scroll, but each photo was damaged in different ways: the faces of the man and Xiao Xue Ji were scratched with hairpins.


    At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji dragged her to another place.


    There was nothing in that chamber.


    The path forked, and Xiao Xue Ji led her into another chamber. At first glance, it was a nursery, designed in the same classical style of the previous one. Stuffed dolls in different styles as well as Barbie dolls were placed on almost every square inch of the ground.


    There was also a toy corner.


    It was full of carefully selected toys that little girls love.


    The opened wardrobe was full of cute frocks in all styles.


    Every part of the room was very intricate, and it was obvious that the people who decorated the room were very meticulous.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Is this your room?"


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Did your mother arrange it?"


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded again.


    Lin Xinghe was a little puzzled¡ª no matter how she looked at it, the Snow Maiden liked her daughter very much, so why did she say that children were the most annoying creatures in the world?


    It was also at this time that Xiao Xue Ji pulled Lin Xinghe to the other side of the chamber, which also had a fancy screen divider.


    Lin Xinghe thought it was also a small bathing pond or something, but it turned out to be a large wooden cage with bloodstains on it.


    Just as Lin Xinghe was about to ask a question, Xiao Xue Ji had already climbed in and locked herself in the cage.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled: "What are you..."


    Before she finished speaking, an illusion created by Xiao Xue Ji appeared in front of her. It was still from the first-person perspective. The glamorous Snow Maiden was holding a whip, whipping Xiao Xue Ji like a crazy woman.


    Xiao Xue Ji was covered in bruises and cuts, and when she looked down, her hands were stripped down to the bone.


    She hid in a corner, shivering, and shrieked like a cornered beast.


    "It was you who ruined my family, if it weren¡¯t for you, Min Lang would never have left me..."


    "Min Lang is dead, you should have died with him..."


    "No, I can''t bury you with him, Min Lang would be unhappy..."


    "I have to wait for Min Lang to come back. When he comes back, we will still be a happy family of three..."


    "You can''t grow up, you will be three years old forever..."


    "If you grow up, Min Lang won''t recognize you when he comes back..."


    Snow Maiden threw her into the wooden cage, locked the heavy copper lock, and walked away without looking at her. After an unknown period of time, the Snow Maiden came back. She opened the copper lock and held Xiao Xue Ji, who was shivering in the wooden cage. She bandaged her wounds and cleaned the dirt off of her body.


    After bathing her, she put Xiao Xue Ji on the soft bed.


    She said softly, "Mother will buy you something delicious, okay?"


    ¡¾Fuck! This is a lot of information! The Snow Maiden abused her child? Domestic violence against her own daughter? ¡¿


    ¡¾It''s too cruel! Didn¡¯t you shudder when she heartlessly whipped her daughter? She was trying to whip her to death! Fortunately, our Elementary School Chicken isn¡¯t human, or else she would have been dead by now...¡¿


    ¡¾No wonder, that¡¯s why Xiao Xue Ji is still three years old even after being alive since ancient times¡ªshe was cursed by her own mother! Ruthless! ¡¿


    ¡¾Snow Maiden seems to have a dual personality disorder? ¡¿


    ¡¾I think so too¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾How exciting, the difficulty of this freshman examination room is very high, if Lin Xinghe weren¡¯t there, the candidates in this examination room would probably be wiped out already. ¡¿

 CH 20.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 20.1


    When Lin Xinghe saw the Snow Maiden behaving in two completely different ways, she also subconsciously thought that the Snow Maiden had dual personalities.


    Love couldn¡¯t be hidden in the eyes¡ªthe way the Snow Maiden treated Xiao Xue Ji gently, and the gentle look when she saw Mayor Jia''s daughter, it wasn¡¯t fake.


    But when she whipped Xiao Xue Ji, her ruthlessness was real.


    Her hatred for Xiao Xue Ji was also real.


    If such a contradiction occured in the same person, there was a high probability that they had a dual personality disorder.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "How did your father die?"


    Xiao Xue Ji answered Lin Xinghe again with the illusion, still from a first-person perspective.


    The camera in this illusion was shaky, and it looked like Xiao Xue Ji was walking around in this very chamber. Except for the modern plush toys and Barbie dolls, the nursery room looked exactly the same.


    Xiao Xue Ji fell down.


    A spider crawled past her.


    Xiao Xue Ji caught it, and she was fascinated, and the illusion had various close-ups of spiders.


    The next moment, Xiao Xue Ji released the spider.


    She herself became a spider.


    She crawled around on the ground, scurried into the dresser, and ran into the wardrobe again. When she climbed onto the soft pink quilt, she met the previous spider.


    Xiao Xue Ji tentatively touched it with her foot and was counterattacked.


    The two spiders fought fiercely on the quilt. At first, Xiao Xue Ji was at a disadvantage because she was in a new body, but she had the strength to not admit defeat. The other spider started to run away because she was too formidable.


    At that moment, the Snow Maiden appeared.


    "Xue Xuan, where have you been?"


    "Mother¡­¡­"


    Snow Maiden''s expression hardened suddenly. She hurried to the bedside and said coldly, "Mother has already said several times, you can''t let anyone know that you are a monster. You can''t be a spider, you can''t be a snake, and you can''t be any other animal."


    "Mother¡­¡­"


    "Change back."


    Xiao Xue Ji seemed to want to change back into a human form, but only her head changed back.


    She looked at her eight tiny legs helplessly and sneezed.


    The Snow Maiden held up a bronze mirror to her and shouted, "What do you look like? You will scare your father like this, you know? Your father is a scholar, and he is afraid of monsters."


    She shouted again, "Change back!"


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at herself in the bronze mirror and tried hard again, but this time her head completely disappeared and she still had a spider body.


    "You don¡¯t know how low your cultivation base is? If you can¡¯t even transform, why are you fooling around?"


    Snow Maiden helped her change back to the human girl while scolding her.


    Xiao Xue Ji, who looked like a glutinous rice dumpling again, looked at the Snow Maiden aggrievedly.


    The Snow Maiden glared at her and threatened, "Don¡¯t do it again"


    At this moment, Min Lang opened the curtain and appeared.


    He took the Snow Maiden''s waist with one hand and looked at Xiao Xue Ji with a smile: "Xue Xuan, Dad will take you down the mountain to eat your favorite hibiscus soup tonight"


    Thinking of something, he smiled and said to the Snow Maiden, "Today is Qixi Festival*. There will be a lantern festival at the foot of the mountain. After we have dinner, we can go to enjoy the lanterns."


    The Snow Maiden lowered her eyebrows and smiled demurely.


    Min Lang was entranced, and lowered his head shyly, not knowing what to say to Snow Maiden.


    The two left hand in hand.


    Not long after, a woman''s coquettish laughter and a man''s rough panting sounded from not far away.


    It didn''t take long for Min Lang and the Snow Maiden to appear in front of Xiao Xue Ji after finishing.


    The family of three went down the mountain.


    On the way down the mountain, they met a wolf.


    The wolf was injured, and as soon as it saw strangers, it pounced at them in fear.


    Min Lang walked in front, and the wolf ran towards him first.


    Xiao Xue Ji shouted "Father" and turned into a snow wolf, fiercely biting the neck of the other snow wolf. Xiao Xue Ji, who felt that she had won a big victory, turned her head to look at Min Lang, but saw that he was afraid.


    "What devil are you?"


    "Daddy, I''m Xue Xuan..."


    "No, you''re not Xue Xuan..."


    "Daddy, I am."


    Xiao Xue Ji took a step forward.


    "Don''t come closer!"


    Xiao Xue Ji looked down at her bloody claws and tried to change her body, but with her insufficient cultivation, she turned into a monster with a human head and a wolf body.


    Min Lang was even more frightened.


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at the Snow Maiden for help.


    The Snow Maiden calmly cast a spell, making her return to her original appearance.


    She said softly to Min Lang, "Xue Xuan is possessed by an evil thing. We will take her down the mountain to perform a ritual and drive the evil thing away."


    Xiao Xue Ji called out softly, "Daddy..."


    She had just taken two steps when Min Lang fell backwards and bumped into a dead tree. He had fainted. Snow Maiden cried emotionally, "Min Lang, Min Lang..."


    Xiao Xue Ji wanted to approach him but was reprimanded by the Snow Maiden: "If Min Lang is scared and falls ill because of you, I will punish you for it."


    TL Notes:


    *Qixi festival is the Chinese equivalent of Valentine¡¯s Day¡ªthe seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year.

 CH 20.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 20.2


    Xiao Xue Ji lowered her head pitifully and helplessly, and clenched her little hands. When she raised her head, the Snow Maiden and Min Lang were already gone. She stood bewildered and didn''t return to the cave until late at night.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the cave, she heard Min Lang and the Snow Maiden talking.


    "I should go down the mountain to the city to take the scholars¡¯ exam. When I become famous, I will marry you and bring you to my home with a large sedan chair. You will become the wife of a zhuangyuan**. Have you packed my belongings and some money? Time waits for no one. I will need them to survive in the city."


    The Snow Maiden handed him a heavy package and reluctantly said, "Xue Xuan and I will wait for you to come back, and tomorrow I will take her to exorcize the evil spirits."


    "Alright."


    Min Lang left the cave before dawn.


    Snow Maiden watched him leave.


    Neither of them noticed that Xiao Xue Ji had returned.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe could already roughly guess what would happen next.


    This person, Min Lang, didn¡¯t look like he really loved the Snow Maiden, otherwise he would  have married her when he knew she was pregnant. Now that he knew that Xiao Xue Ji was a monster, he ran away overnight. He ran away overnight and even ran away with money, saying that he would come back to marry the Snow Maiden after he became famous and wealthy.


    These words were just bullshit. The Snow Maiden only believed them because she was deeply in love. She was too naive¡ªafter meeting a few men, she should know their character. The only use of sweet talk like this was to comfort the heart and please the ears of women, but to the men, they had no value.


    Lin Xinghe was too lazy to watch this kind of story, so she asked Xiao Xue Ji bluntly, "Later your mother found out that your father never came back and didn¡¯t send a single letter. After waiting a few more years, she brought you to find your father, and found that your father had married another woman. When she questioned him, your father said you were a monster, so your mother was definitely not an ordinary person, and crossing races never brought good results. In that way, he let down your mother. She was sad and lonely, and after struggling with those feelings for a long time, she killed your father, right?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded vigorously.


    Lin Xinghe: "...Surely enough, most of the stories about ancient scholars and female monsters cannot escape such a tragic ending."


    At that moment, the Snow Maiden''s voice suddenly sounded in the cave.


    "Why are you in my cave?"


    However, before the words were finished, the Snow Maiden''s eyes fell on Xiao Xue Ji''s illusion.


    In the illusion, the Snow Maiden stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at Min Lang¡¯s back.


    "Little bitch! What right do you have to create such an illusion? You don''t deserve to remember him!"


    "If it weren¡¯t for you, Min Lang wouldn''t have left me!"


    "If it weren¡¯t for you, Min Lang would have grown old with me!"


    "If it weren¡¯t for you, Min Lang wouldn¡¯t have died!"


    The Snow Maiden rushed over and grabbed Xiao Xue Ji''s neck.


    The illusion suddenly disappeared.


    Xiao Xue Ji''s eyes looked devoid of spirit, and she kicked her legs twice in token protest, as if she had long been used to this kind of treatment.


    She looked at Snow Maiden with sad yet accepting eyes, opening her mouth yet only being able to whimper.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly sneered and said, "Really? Is it your daughter''s fault that Min Lang left you? No, it''s your fault. You are a monster, Min Lang was a person, and you don''t know the truth of the different paths of human beings and monsters. It was you who first concealed from Min Lang that you were a demon. Min Lang treated you as a human being before he fell in love with you. It''s your fault that you didn''t tell Min Lang. It would have been impossible to hide it from him for a lifetime. Even without your daughter, Min Lang would have found out that you are a demon one day. Of course, Min Lang was also at fault. He did not confess his fears to you, but deceived you and even ran away with your money. Both of you were wrong, but what does that have to do with Xue Xuan?"


    "...The relationship was not equal and the family was not harmonious, but why do you lay the blame on the head of the child? You are too cowardly to admit your own mistakes."


    The Snow Maiden let go of Xiao Xue Ji.


    She glared at Lin Xinghe.


    "What do you know? She is my daughter, so why do you think you have a say in how I raise her? You have disappointed me so much. I thought you were different from others and truly understood me. Now it seems that you are just an ignorant human being¡ªyou are not qualified to criticize me. This is the child I gave birth to¡ª I gave her her life, and I can take it back anytime I want."


    Ice began to appear on the ground and spread throughout the chamber of the cave.


    Whatever the ice touched became covered with a layer of thick frost.


    TL Notes:


    **Zhuangyuan refers to the top scholar of an imperial scholar exam. Throughout history, each zhuangyuan had many benefits directly from the emperor and government, and they were respected nationally regardless of birth status.

 CH 20.3

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 20.3


    Lin Xinghe was still very calm, and she said, "You are wrong¡ªjust because you gave birth to her doesn¡¯t mean her life belongs to you. Children cannot choose what parents they are born to. Believe it or not, if you gave your daughter the opportunity to choose, she would not choose to be your child¡­ not before she was born, not while Min Lang was there, and certainly not now... She had no choice. You forced her to be born to satisfy your romantic urges, and you are not qualified to deprive her of her life. If you don''t believe me, ask her if she is willing to be your daughter? "


    The Snow Maiden looked at Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji turned pale and shook her head frantically.


    The Snow Maiden''s countenance hardened.


    The ice accelerated, rushing straight towards Lin Xinghe''s feet. Seeing that the deadly frost was about to touch her legs, Xiao Xue Ji teleported in front of her.


    The frost wrapped around Xiao Xue Ji''s feet and gradually spread up her body. It hadn¡¯t reached her heart yet, and the Snow Maiden choked out, "Traitor!"


    Lin Xinghe said in a low voice, "Use an illusion of Min Lang."


    Xiao Xue Ji immediately created a new illusion.


    A dashingly handsome groom stood at the entrance of the cave, dressed in white and holding a jade fan in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and smiled at the Snow Maiden, rumbling, "I have achieved success, and the eight-people sedan chair is already outside. When you put on your wedding dress, I will marry you in splendor and bring you home."


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt that it was worth showing Xiao Xue Ji horror movies set in ancient China. This scene was extremely familiar. Most evil female ghosts had a past before they became ghosts, and a scumbag who gave her false marriage promises was the most popular.


    The Snow Maiden ogled the illusion.


    Lin Xinghe picked up a gold hairpin from the makeup box and stabbed it towards the Snow Maiden''s heart without hesitation.


    Blood spurted out.


    Snow Maiden turned around looking dazed and dazedly looked at her chest. When she lifted her head again, her eyes were full of hatred and anger. She suddenly smiled mockingly, spitting out "I''m not a mortal, stabbing my heart doesn¡¯t work."


    However, before the Snow Maiden finished speaking, Lin Xinghe pulled the hairpin out from the Snow Maiden¡¯s chest and stabbed her again. The golden hairpin flashed in the air as it pierced through the middle of her forehead with the speed and accuracy of a lightning strike.


    The Snow Maiden was stunned.


    "How...how did you know," she gurgled out, blood pouring down her face, streaming out of her mouth, and pumping out of her chest.


    Lin Xinghe: "I guessed. You said that stabbing your heart was useless, so it must be useful somewhere else. I am lucky, so I stabbed correctly the second time."


    ¡¾Sorry, the sect leader has been acting up so much recently that I forgot she is also a European emperor. ¡¿


    ¡¾The sect leader is very bold¡ªmost people don''t have the courage to even try stabbing the Snow Maiden. After knowing that she stabbed the wrong place, she stabbed again in a different place¡¿


    ¡¾The sect leader has copious amounts of both luck and courage. If she didn¡¯t kill the Snow Maiden, nobody in this exam room could have. ¡¿


    ¡¾Awesome! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe performed so well that she should have a lot of extra points. I remember that the top three highest point-earners in the freshman examination room were Xie Wuan from the xianxia department, Qi Qing from the ancient department, and Alfred Rudolph from the fantasy department. Her operation might be able to squeeze into the top three and win glory for the modern department. ¡¿


    The ice on the ground melted.


    The Snow Maiden fell to the ground.


    She dragged herself towards Xiao Xue Ji, flailing her limbs as each burst of energy sent blood splattering to the ground.


    Xiao Xue Ji hid behind Lin Xinghe in fear.


    The Snow Maiden stopped and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch Xiao Xue Ji, but she stopped when she was about to touch her body.


    Her eyes were full of tenderness.


    She gasped hoarsely, "I''m sorry, Mommy loves you."


    Xiao Xue Ji reached out her hand cautiously and gently touched her fingertips.


    Tears welled up in the Snow Maiden''s eyes.


    She raised her head and looked at Lin Xinghe.


    "I...I can''t control myself¡­ Please help me take care of Xue Xuan..."


    Before she finished speaking, the Snow Maiden¡¯s hand went limp, and she turned into an innocent pool of snow.


    The invigilator''s voice resounded in Lin Xinghe''s mind.


    "Congratulations on passing the test. The test room will be closed within 60 seconds, and no living creatures are allowed to leave the test room. Please abide by the rules of the test room. After 60 seconds, the scores of the candidates will be announced.¡±

 CH 21.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 21.1


    60 seconds until the exam was over¡­ She couldn''t do anything! She didn''t even have time to take the box of gold bars that she obtained in completely legal ways from Mayor Jia, or the magic broom she carelessly threw in the villa room.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t plan to help the Snow Maiden take care of Xiao Xue Ji.


    After all, this place was just an examination room for her. After she went back to school, she had to take exams again and again. What would Xiao Xue Ji do when she was away?


    Also, she belonged to the world here.


    She squatted down, patted her head, and said, "I''m leaving here soon, you won¡¯t see me again in the future. Live well and don¡¯t learn from your mother. She¡¯s dead and no one will ever lay their hands on you again. All the wealth here belongs to you, so you don''t need to go to the zoo to eat and drink."


    Xiao Xue Ji''s eyelashes trembled.


    She grabbed Lin Xinghe''s hand.


    She spoke for the first time, stammering: "Take...take me with you..."


    Lin Xinghe patted her head and said warmly, "We are not from the same world¡ªthis is your world, and I can''t take you to mine."


    Xiao Xue Ji shook her head stubbornly. Thinking of something, she suddenly let go of Lin Xinghe''s hand, quickly hugged one of the Snow Maiden''s makeup boxes, and stuffed it into Lin Xinghe''s arms.


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a moment. Xiao Xue Ji stammered, "Reward...reward..."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t know whether the tears in her eyes were from laughter or sadness and said, "It''s not a matter of getting paid or not. I can''t take you away. My world will be more dangerous for you. I''m not strong enough to protect you, and..."


    A space-time rift appeared in the air.


    Lin Xinghe was directly sucked in.


    By the time she reacted, someone had already appeared in the exam hall.


    The rest of the candidates had already come out.


    Fang Ziyue, Li Chengyan, and Tang Xin were all standing in the open space with a bit of reluctance on their faces. After all, they were still drinking beer and eating fried chicken in the villa when they were suddenly told that the exam was over and they could leave the exam room.


    Food and drinks were free in the exam room.


    Afterwards, they had to save points in order to live.


    This was so worrying that when they saw Lin Xinghe, the three of them immediately surrounded her, expressing that if they were in the same exam room next time, they would happily work together again.


    Tang Xin also brought out the suitcase and magic broom that Lin Xinghe had left in the room and handed them to Lin Xinghe.


    Tang Xin asked, "Did the Snow Maiden commit suicide?"


    "No, she wanted to kill me, but I stabbed her to death..." Lin Xinghe said as she opened the suitcase, "Come on, one gold bar per person. You brought my stuff out for me, so I''ll give you one more."


    As soon as the suitcase was opened, the golden light blinded everyone¡¯s eyes.


    Tang Xin and the others held a gold bar each and said happily, "It''s like going on vacation to get money..."


    The proctor, who had been ignored all this time, coughed loudly and said with a solemn face, "Now, I will announce the exam results of this exam room. Will all the candidates please be quiet?"


    Everyone turned their attention to the proctor.


    He announced flatly, "Congratulations to students Lin Xinghe, Tang Xin, Fang Ziyue, and Li Chengyan who passed this exam and all got the 50 guaranteed points. In addition, Lin Xinghe was the first to figure out the storyline in this exam room¡ª10 points. She killed the Snow Maiden with her own hands¡ª20 points; the tenth most popular livestream¡ª50 points.


    Lin Xinghe''s bracelet glowed and her information changed.


    Name: Lin Xinghe


    Class: Class 1 of the Modern Era Department


    Points: 270 points (including plane points from the livestream)


    Rating: Level D


    Do you want to view your interplane points?


    Lin Xinghe noticed the gazes around her and chose "No".


    The proctor left.


    Tang Xin and the others hadn''t yet.


    Tang Xin took out her phone and asked, "There was no signal in the examination world, so I couldn¡¯t add you. Can Sister Xinghe add me as a friend?"


    Fang Ziyue and Li Chengyan both took out their phones and were eager to try as well.


    Lin Xinghe did not refuse.


    After she finished adding their contacts, she asked, "Chai Yong hasn''t come out yet?"


    Fang Ziyue said, "Yes, dying in the exam room is a final death."


    Lin Xinghe felt a little fortunate that she didn''t bring Xiao Xue Ji out.


    In this villain school, there weren¡¯t many rules, but many detailed rules were not clear. Evidently, the bonus points were for: figuring out the storyline of the exam room, killing the boss, and livestream popularity based on the votes of the higher-up aliens.


    She had rescued Chai Yong and the others in the Ice Sculpture Garden and the residents of the small village. She also encouraged the Snow Maiden to repent for her wrongdoing and be brave in her righteousness... Those were all decent practices, which were in line with the core of the villain school''s so-called reform. But none of these practices got her additional points.


    She increasingly felt that the villain school was quite hypocritical. While advocating the villains to do the right things, it also encouraged candidates to fight each other in the examination room. This concept in itself was inconsistent with being a school. Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe felt that this school was transforming the villains in the name of justice only on the surface. They were forced to recite and study Buddhist scriptures, but when they entered the examination room, they allowed the students to kill as much as they wanted.


    ...Well, it definitely wasn¡¯t a normal school.


    "Deskmate!"


    Lin Xinghe heard Gu Taoyao, who ran to Lin Xinghe''s side in three steps and said, "I''ve been watching your exam for the past few days, and I haven''t missed a single bit except for when I was sleeping! You are amazing! The livestream was really really exciting. You won glory for our modern era department!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "The last time I promised to treat you to a meal, but I didn¡¯t have time to deliver on my promise. What would you like to eat tonight?"


    Gu Taoyao said, "Anything!"


    Lin Xinghe was still on the snowy mountain when she left the exam world, wearing a thick down jacket and special boots for climbing the mountain. It was still summer in the villain school, and after listening to the proctor for less than a minute, Lin Xinghe felt it was too hot already.

 CH 21.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 21.2


    She pulled up the lever of the suitcase and said, "I''ll go back to the dormitory first! See you at the cafeteria at 6:30."


    Gu Taoyao looked like she was hesitant to speak.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Gu Taoyao glanced at Fang Ziyue, Tang Xin and the others who were still around. They were wise enough to know that they had something to say in private, so they waved their hands and said goodbye.


    At this moment, Gu Taoyao said, "I don''t know if it''s a good thing or a bad thing. You can see your points. There were reward points from in the livestream"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, there were fifty extra reward points."


    Gu Taoyao said, "I don''t know if you know that students can give gifts to students, and the ratio of student to school is 1:9 points."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "We get one for every nine that the school gets?"


    "Yup."


    Lin Xinghe was not surprised. She said, "Having an interplane livestream platform proves that the school is actually for-profit and relies on us to make profits. Naturally, it would not be so easy for us to graduate¡ªthe school controls the points strictly. It is already a big concession to let students give rewards to other students. If the ratio were too much in favor of us, it¡¯s possible for students to graduate immediately"


    Gu Taoyao never thought about such a problem. When she entered the school, she was full of gratitude. After all, she was a villain who would give her a chance to be reborn. She didn''t think about it too deeply and felt that the school should naturally have its own rules. After all, a society needed rules, even if some of the rules were strange, but this was a different dimension, so what was so strange about anything?


    After listening to Lin Xinghe, Gu Taoyao suddenly felt a sense of empowerment.


    ... The school was not necessarily a school, but a capital platform. They were like slaves in the ancient Roman Colosseum, performing diligently for the gentlemen in the audience, and only the outstanding winners could be reborn and free.


    Gu Taoyao''s heart sank when she thought about it.


    Lin Xinghe said, "There is no need to be depressed about it. As long as you stay alive, anything is possible."


    "I suppose..."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "You just mentioned that you don''t know if it''s a good thing or a bad thing, but it''s related to points?" As if thinking of something, she opened her wristband and the message box popped up in front of her.


    Do you want to view your interplane points?


    Lin Xinghe chose "Yes".


    ~Xie Wuan from Class 3 of the xianxia department has rewarded you with five deep-water torpedoes~


    Gu Taoyao said, "One deep-water torpedo is one hundred points, five are five hundred points."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Deep-water torpedoes? Why is the name of this gift so strange? I would assume the livestream platform contains gifts like sports cars, yachts, small TVs, golden seeds, etc..."


    Gu Taoyao finally found a point that she could advise the sect leader on. She rambled, "I know the reason for this! Our school has four departments, the modern era department, the ancient era department, the fantasy department, and the xianxia department, and the allocation rules are based on the before-novels, or the books we belonged to in our lifetimes. These categories were divided according to the channel of a literary website, and the deep-water torpedo is the tipping tool in that literary website.¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded and said, "I understand."


    Gu Taoyao added: "I told you about Xie Wuan before, the big pervert of the xianxia department. His fetish is that he likes to collect figurines. His figurines are all made of corpses. I heard that before he entered the school, he single-handedly conquered most of the supernatural xianxia world and finally fell into demonic cultivation. The more interested he was in something, the more he wanted to make a figure of it. In all the exam rooms he participated in, he would bring back the corpses of bosses that he was interested in, create figurines out of them, and store them in his portable space-bubble."


    Gu Taoyao thought of the rows and rows of corpse figures in Xie Wuan''s portable space-bubble, and suddenly felt that she couldn''t appreciate Xie Wuan''s handsome face without shivering.


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe said, "With so many figures, it must be spectacular..."


    Gu Taoyao: ? ? ?


    Lin Xinghe patted her on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to Xie Wuan. But he has a lot of money, so I don''t mind him staring at me. See you in the cafeteria at 6:30 in the evening! I¡¯ll go back to the dormitory first. "


    Lin Xinghe pulled the suitcase and took a few steps before she remembered that she had a magic broom. She pushed the handle back into the suitcase, carried it onto the magic broom, and flew back to the dormitory at a low altitude.


    After she returned to the dormitory, she tapped her wristband to check the Plane Mall points inside.


    It seems that her livestream was very popular, and she had 1500 points.


    However, she glanced at the prices in the mall. Low quality life-saving items all started at 1,000, while high-end items were even more expensive. The price of offensive items was even more staggeringly large, starting at 3,000 for the most basic ones.


    On the contrary, some strange props that seemed useless in exams were much cheaper, such as anti-baldness artifacts, magic potions that heal bleached and dyed hairs, anti-fattening pills, and talismans to always get SSR cards... The price of these were 50 or 60 pints each.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t spend money on life-saving props. She felt that low-level life-saving props were not worth it. It was better to buy high-end life-saving props.


    Just when Lin Xinghe was hesitating about what to buy, she suddenly felt a searing heat on her right thigh.


    She touched it, pulling out a bloody golden hairpin from her pocket¡ª the same hairpin she used to kill the Snow Maiden.


    She was taken aback.


    After the snow girl melted, how did the golden hairpin get back into her hands?


    At this moment, the air golden hairpin suddenly swirled.


    It moved on its own, fell to the ground, and turned into a living girl.


    Lin Xinghe was stunned.


    "Xiao Xue Ji?"


    Xiao Xue Ji also looked very dazed. She looked left and right, up and down, and when she saw Lin Xinghe, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed the leg of her snow pants.


    "Mom."

 CH 22.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 22.1


    ¡­What?


    ¡­Mother?


    Lin Xinghe said, "...Wait, I''m not your..."


    Before the word "mother" could be uttered, Xiao Xue Ji clutched Lin Xinghe tightly, as if afraid of being abandoned. She gripped her calf tightly like a koala.


    "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "I..."


    "Mommy."


    "No..."


    "Mommy."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What else can you say other than Mommy?"


    Xiao Xue Ji:...


    "Mom."


    Lin Xinghe had no choice but to accept the "Mom" first, and then asked, "How did you come out? When did you hitch a ride on the golden hairpin?"


    Speaking of this, Lin Xinghe was also surprised. How could the proctor not have noticed that Xiao Xue Ji came out with her? Could it be that the proctor didn¡¯t actually have the power to find any living creatures following her? Or was Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s magic beyond the detection of the proctor?


    Xiao Xue Ji did not answer her words for a long time.


    She raised her little head and blinked her little eyes guilelessly, as if she could not understand Lin Xinghe''s words.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled and asked, "Do you know who I am?"


    "Mommy."


    "Do you still remember the Snow Maiden?" Lin Xinghe suddenly remembered that she had a photo of the Snow Maiden, and called up the photo on her phone. It was a picture of the Snow Maiden changing into a black dress and looking back at her with a smile.


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at the picture with disinterest, as if she didn''t recognize the Snow Maiden at all.


    Lin Xinghe said again, "Can you show me your five mouths?"


    Xiao Xue Ji tilted her head, as if thinking about Lin Xinghe''s words. Lin Xinghe received a message from Gu Taoyao, and her phone vibrated. Xiao Xue Ji''s eyes lit up and she stared at the phone curiously, with an expression of wanting but not daring to touch.


    Lin Xinghe took off her heavy snow mountain climbing equipment. She sat down, picked up Xiao Xue Ji, set her in her lap, and opened Gu Taoyao''s message.


    Gu Taoyao sent her a video.


    She opened it up.


    It was a sneakily-taken video, in which a strange man was flying in on a sword like a meteor flashing in the sky.


    Gu Taoyao: I risked my life to film this! He is Xie Wuan! Remember to stay away from him when you meet him later!


    Lin Xinghe: Has anyone successfully brought out living creatures from the exam worlds?


    Gu Taoyao: It is impossible to bring out living creatures. There are two lines of defense in the examination room. One is the space-time rift, and the other is the proctor. There is no way for living creatures to pass through both of those. Before, a classmate had a relationship with an NPC in the exam room, and despite the proctor¡¯s warning, he wanted to bring the NPC back to the school. When they passed through the space-time rift, she was killed on the spot, and her soul was scattered to the winds. After he came out, he was punished, and they took away 80% of his points.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Xiao Xue Ji in her arms.


    Lin Xinghe: What about things that no longer seem to be living?


    Gu Taoyao: No, some people have tried it. A student in the fantasy department grew fond of a horse in the examination room and wanted to bring it out. After feeding it a magic potion of suspended animation, it was brought out, but the proctor didn¡¯t let it come through the rift¡ªhe could detect all the living things in the exam room. In the end, the student could only give up and accept the punishment.


    Lin Xinghe: What about the horse?


    Gu Taoyao: It was sent back to the world by the invigilator.


    Lin Xinghe thought about her situation in silence.


    ...How did Xiao Xue Ji fool the proctor and get through the space-time rift? She also doesn¡¯t seem to remember anything from the exam room.


    ... She even imprinted on Lin Xinghe...


    "Mommy..."


    "Yes?" Lin Xinghe responded subconsciously.


    Xiao Xue Ji stretched out her tiny hand to touch Lin Xinghe''s face and said, "Five...mouths..."


    Lin Xinghe pointed to her own mouth, "This is a mouth, one mouth."


    Xiao Xue Ji instantly gave herself five mouths.


    However, it was not the scary face with five mouths in the examination room, but five tiny rosebud mouths stacked on top of each other, and all of them were babbling "Mommy..."


    Lin Xinghe praised: "Wow, great job!"


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe determined that Xiao Xue Ji had lost her memory¡ªshe had forgotten everything that happened in the exam world, and now she was like a toddler still learning to talk.


    However, Lin Xinghe thought about it for a second, and felt that it was actually a good thing for Xiao Xue Ji to be able to forget the cruel and sad past and be born again.


    Lin Xinghe planned to keep Xiao Xue Ji. She didn¡¯t remember anything now, and she still had a lot of skills. If she were sent back to her home world, she might meet a man like Zhang Zheng or Min Lang and become exactly like the Snow Maiden. But in order to keep her safe, Lin Xinghe had to go out of her way to hide Xiao Xue Ji from the school and her classmates.


    She decided to take a gamble. Worst case scenario, she would lose 80% of her points. She had 280 points, so if 80% of her points were deducted, she would still have 56 points. That was enough to last her for a month, and she could take more tests to get points.


    Lin Xinghe felt that it was worth it. Besides, Xiao Xue Ji was well raised and could be a big help to her. Her ability to create illusions and transform into any object she encountered seemed to be a boss ability.


    The five mouths in her arms opened and closed.


    Normally, it might have been scary to watch, but Lin Xinghe felt responsible for Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s future; now that she had taken Xiao Xue Ji under her wing, her five mouths have become cute.


    She said, "Can you change back now?"


    Xiao Xue Ji immediately turned back into a cute chubby toddler with pale skin and big eyes, and her innocent face looked at Lin Xinghe as if she were the whole world.


    Lin Xinghe said, "If you want to stay by my side, you can''t be in this form, you have to transform into something else..."


    ... Transform into what?


    Lin Xinghe suddenly remembered that there was a column for animal companions in the interplane shop.


    The Interplane Mall was a business partner to the school, not a branch of it. Therefore, the school officials shouldn¡¯t be able to review what students purchased.

 CH 22.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 22.2


    She opened up the animal companions catalog on her bracelet.


    Black Pterosaur, 10,000 points, too expensive, cross it out.


    Unicorn, 8,000 points, also expensive, goodbye.


    Double-headed snake, 7,000 points, still too expensive, gone.


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe found that she could only afford the last companion: a normal cat that didn¡¯t have any special abilities.


    Xiao Xue Ji watched the screen curiously.


    There were also detailed introductions on the page and an option to view a holographic display.


    Xiao Xue Ji tentatively tapped on that option, and a snow-white cat with blue eyes was playing with a ball of yarn and meowing.


    She was fascinated by its behavior.


    In less than a minute, an identical cat appeared in Lin Xinghe''s arms.


    The long fur was white, soft and slightly fragrant.


    A pair of sapphire-blue eyes shone out from the poofy fur, and a rough tongue poked out to lick a pink nose. The cat was beautiful and fairy-like.


    "Meow."


    Lin Xinghe''s heart melted.


    She instructed gently, "You can stay with me in this form. If there are other people around, you can''t be in your human form, alright?"


    The cat nodded.


    Lin Xinghe thought that Xiao Xue Ji was still different from ordinary toddlers. She was very intelligent, with strong learning and comprehensive abilities. Although she had been as ignorant as a newborn baby half an hour ago, she could already understand her words now and transformed twice. Her recharge time seemed to be shorter here than in the exam room.


    Lin Xinghe packed up and left the dorm with Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji''s strong learning ability meant that Lin Xinghe should let her meet more people in order to adapt to this new environment faster.


    Xiao Xue Ji sprawled across her shoulders, seemingly lighter than other cats.


    Lin Xinghe climbed into her broom and flew to the cafeteria to eat dinner with her deskmate.


    She had plenty of time until she planned to meet with Gu Taoyao, so she flew slowly to enjoy the scenery.


    At that time, everyone had finished class.


    Fantasy and xianxia department classmates dashed around in the sky, flying high and fast. Lin Xinghe was not in a hurry, so she rode her magic broom leisurely, and explained the basics of the school to Xiao Xue Ji in a low voice.


    When she arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria, Gu Taoyao was waiting there for her. She stared at the companion Lin Xinghe''s shoulder and said in awe, "Someone just said that you bought a useless pet cat. I   thought it was fake news, but it turns out you actually did buy a cat."


    Gu Taoyao said sadly, "I remember that the pet cats cost more than 1,000 points. You are the first to buy one... Their abilities haven¡¯t developed yet, and generally speaking, they won¡¯t ever develop in the future. It¡¯s just a purely ornamental cat, and..."


    "Meow..." Xiao Xue Ji gently scratched Gu Taoyao¡¯s face with her claws.


    Gu Taoyao was about to die from its cuteness and immediately changed her words: "It''s still worth it! Following you, it will definitely become very powerful! Ah, so cute! Is it a male cat or a female cat? What''s its name?"


    "Female cat, Xiao Xue Ji."


    Gu Taoyao immediately thought of the last scene in Lin Xinghe''s exam. When Xiao Xue Ji begged to be taken away, Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes welled up. That scene touched many audiences in many dimensions. It seemed that her deskmate was also a sentimental person. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have raised a cat named Xiao Xue Ji when she came back. It is no wonder that she asked so many questions about bringing back living creatures.


    Gu Taoyao avoided this sad topic and said, "Let''s go eat!"


    However, it was unfortunate that someone else wanted to bring up this sad topic.


    "What''s the use of naming it Xiao Xue Ji? It''s not really Xue Xuan. Only when your brain has too much water will you buy a useless ornamental cat..." The person who spoke was Lu Qin, the president of the first class of the modern era department.


    She originally thought that Lin Xinghe would not survive in the Snow Maiden exam room. She didn''t expect her to perform exceptionally well and become one of the heroes of the modern era department. Lu Qin had had a little admiration for Lin Xinghe, thinking that she might be able to reverse the bad reputation of the modern department so that other departments would not dare to bully them. But now that she spent a lot of money to buy a useless cat, she felt that Lin Xinghe wasn¡¯t too reliable.


    She was lucky, but she couldn¡¯t be that lucky in every exam room. A modern era department student who had no life-saving artifacts couldn¡¯t survive in a real exam.


    She admitted that Lin Xinghe was bold and careful, daring to do things that ordinary people wouldn¡¯t ever dream of doing. If she was lucky and succeeded, she would be called a god, but if she failed, she would become the laughingstock of the whole school.


    Lu Qin didn''t feel guilty at all that she had pimped Lin Xinghe to Li Jun. In this school, the strong preyed on the weak. In order to survive in the examination room, she did whatever she could. Only villains attended this school, and some were even murders. No one was more noble than anyone else.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Lu Qin and said lazily, "I used the points I earned to buy what I wanted. Does it have anything to do with you? Come back and lecture me after you earn some points."


    Lu Qin really couldn''t earn many points, so when Lin Xinghe mocked her, Lu Qin''s face turned blue with anger.


    She sneered, "I''ll see how powerful you will be in the next exam room!"


    She glared at Lin Xinghe''s cat and left.


    During the meal, Gu Taoyao expressed her worries: "When you take exams, what will Xiao Xue Ji do? Do you want to bring it into the exam room or let it stay in the school?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I¡¯ll bring her* into the exam room."


    Gu Taoyao said worriedly, "If you die in the examination room, you cannot be resurrected. Your next exam room is a test for all four departments, and we still don''t know what the exam prompt will be. It might be too dangerous..."


    Lin Xinghe was just a little worried.


    If Xiao Xue Ji used her skills, it would be easy for her to be recognized as the Xiao Xue Ji from her previous exam. Even if she refused to admit it, what if the school had a way to verify?


    Lin Xinghe looked at Xiao Xue Ji beside her.


    Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, Xiao Xue Ji was gone.


    TL Notes:


    *In Chinese, the pronoun ¡°her¡± and ¡°it¡± are pronounced in the same way, so while Gu Taoyao refers to the cat as an it, Lin Xinghe refers to Xiao Xue Ji as her.

 CH 23.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 23.2


    Lin Xinghe said, "We don''t need to look for it. It¡¯s written all over her face that Xiao Xue Ji was taken away by a student from the Xianxia department or the fantasy department. She probably didn''t know how to be a villain before, at most reaching the level of the cannon fodder villains in the first ten chapters."


    Being ridiculed by Lin Xinghe like this, Lu Qin felt anger bubble up in her stomach, and she snarked, "You¡¯re spending so much time here that your cat is probably already a figurine now."


    Lin Xinghe said expressionlessly, "You¡¯re really at the level of the cannon fodder villain in the first ten chapters. Thanks for telling me exactly where my cat is."


    Lu Qin originally wanted Lin Xinghe to beg her, but she didn''t expect to be ridiculed over and over again. Then, looking at the people around her looking amused and pointing at her, she suddenly felt ashamed.


    Gu Taoyao quickly asked Lin Xinghe, "Are you going to find Xie Wuan?"


    At this moment, a low and cold voice sounded clearly in the air¡ª¡ª


    "Whose cat broke into my space? If you want your cat back, come get it."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t know who was talking¡ª the voice came from all directions, sounding in everyone''s ears. The originally noisy cafeteria instantly quieted down.


    Gu Taoyao looked unnerved, and she whispered to Lin Xinghe, "That was the sound transmission power in xianxia."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "That was Xie Wuan''s voice?"


    "Uh-huh."


    The people around were gossiping.


    "I don''t know whether Lin Xinghe''s cat is lucky or unfortunate. After all, in addition to the creepy figures in Xie Wuan''s space, there are many high-level magic weapons and props..."


    "S-class boss!"


    "How did Lin Xinghe''s cat break in? Isn''t the space only open to Xie Wuan? Sure enough, the good luck of the leader of the Koi God Sect even has a lucky cat?"


    "I don''t think the cat is the main point. Now, the boss of the xianxia department is allowing a modern freshman to enter his portable space-bubble¡­ She¡¯s probably going to be crippled when she comes out."


    "For something as personal as a portable space-bubble, if it were mine, I would definitely kill whoever dared to trespass inside."


    "Right? I definitely would try to get into the same exam room as she¡¯s participating in and ¡®do¡¯ her."


    Lu Qin only knew that Lin Xinghe''s cat was taken away by Xie Wuan, but she didn''t expect her cat to have such a strong ability. She didn''t think about how, exactly, Lin Xinghe''s cat got such an opportunity but felt that Lin Xinghe was doomed.


    After all, the cat biting Lu Qin and straying into Xie Wuan''s space was analogous to the difference between a bully pushing another kid on the street and a someone scratching a limited edition sports car of a perverted, murderous second-generation rich kid.


    ...She was going to be killed.


    As if she hadn''t heard of him before, Lin Xinghe inquired where Xie Wuan was and rode her magic broom to find Xie Wuan. The popcorn gallery followed her.


    Lin Xinghe found Xie Wuan downstairs at the xianxia department building.


    It was said that it was downstairs, but it wasn¡¯t; it should actually be said that it was the foot of the mountain.


    After all, the teaching buildings of the xianxia department were mansions floating in the air. They were shrouded by clouds and mists, with the mountain faintly visible in the background. Xie Wuan was sitting in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.


    He didn''t wear the school uniform. Instead, he was wearing a white robe with wide sleeves that only immortals from xianxia books wore.


    Lin Xinghe had only seen his back in the video posted by Gu Taoyao. Now that she saw the front, she couldn''t help but marvel. No wonder this xianxia playboy was called the playboy of the department. He had a face that could turn a clock backwards. He was even more handsome than the most handsome actor in Lin Xinghe¡¯s before-novel.


    However, his voice was as dead and still as a frozen-over pond.


    "I watched your live broadcast."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "Thank you for the five deep-water torpedoes you gave me."


    He spared her a glance and continued, "From whence did your cat come?"


    "I bought it from the Interplane Mall."


    "You''re quite lucky, it got into my infinite space* somehow."


    Lin Xinghe said: "I apologize to you first for my cat''s recklessness. It was wrong for it to break into your personal space without your honored permission, even by mistake. But from another point of view, doesn¡¯t it prove that there is a loophole in your space? If there was no loophole, how could it get in? In this way, respectfully, my cat helped you find the loophole. If I may be so bold, I think it was a good thing that it happened in school. If someone took advantage of the loophole in the exam room, it would be a big loss for you, right?"


    Xie Wuan''s eyes were calm.


    "You have quite the sharp mind."


    "You flatter me."


    Xie Wuan said: "Your reasoning is factual, so should I reward you?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I don''t need a reward, I just want my cat back."


    His voice was still as detached as stagnant water, and there was no fluctuation in his tone, as if he were too otherworldly to experience emotions.


    TL Notes:


    *For ease of understanding and in order to better portray Xie Wuan¡¯s character, outsiders refer to his infinite space as a portable space-bubble. Xie Wuan is a very dignified character who talks in more traditional Chinese phrasing, which is a common trait to characters set in xianxia fiction, so even in English, his language needs to be more sophisticated.

 CH 23.3

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 23.3


    "So be it. You may enter. If you catch your cat, it will be returned to you. If you can''t, your cat will stay in my infinite space and will be at my discretion."


    Lin Xinghe hadn¡¯t ever entered spaces that only existed in xianxia fiction, so she readily agreed.


    "Okay."


    Xie Wuan waved his sleeves.


    Lin Xinghe disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    The melon eaters** who had been watching from a distance showed their 100% gossip and enthusiasm, and sunflower seeds and watermelon soda were being auctioned. There were also people selling single-use, soon-to-be expired thousand-meter-ear*** pills, which had never been more popular.


    At that moment, Lin Xinghe had entered Xie Wuan''s space, and it was unexpectedly awesome inside.


    She looked around her: it was an infinite world. However, some places were foggy, and even when she walked right up to the fog, she couldn¡¯t see through it. Lin Xinghe guessed that this was the rumored barrier, probably to prevent her from accessing private places. After all, infinite space was an artifact with a certain degree of privacy, just like a treasure house, so it needed protection.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t look around too much and began to call Xiao Xue Ji''s name.


    Not long after, she finally saw the figurines that Gu Taoyao was talking about. They were spectacularly and neatly arranged around an open space. There were human figures, aliens, and animals. All the corpses were well-preserved and stood in the open space like a work of art.


    When Lin Xinghe saw these figures, she was not afraid at all and even felt a little connection.


    Probably because of a shared love for horror.


    "Meow¡­¡­"


    That meow pulled back Lin Xinghe''s thoughts. She quickly followed the sound and found Xiao Xue Ji. The cat-form was intact, but the belly was bulging, and there was an empty sack at its feet.


    Lin Xinghe picked up Xiao Xue Ji and smelled her¡ªthere was a strange fragrance in her mouth.


    She was taken aback.


    "What did you eat?"


    As soon as the words fell, she realized that she was in Xie Wuan''s space, which meant he was probably monitoring their every move. She quickly shook her head at Xiao Xue Ji, motioning her not to speak.


    Xiao Xue Ji was extremely clever and fully understood what Lin Xinghe meant. After only a few more meows, she cuddled in Lin Xinghe''s arms obediently.


    Lin Xinghe found Xiao Xue Ji¡ªit was inconvenient to spend more time in other people''s space.


    Xie Wuan quickly let her out.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe came out, she immediately apologized to Xie Wuan, saying that she was willing to use points to buy what Xiao Xue Ji ate in his space, and she could save up if it wasn''t enough.


    Unexpectedly, Xie Wuan glanced at her and his lip curled upwards slightly, hinting at the possibility of a smile. He drawled, "No need. You utter brave thoughts and enact brave actions. I appreciate your personality. What she ate was not expensive, it was just a Jinwudan****. By chance, she infiltrated into my personal space and located my Jinwudan¡­ she and I are fated¡­ the Jinwudan was useless to me, but your cat should manifest plentiful abilities after ingesting it¡­"


    "What abilities?" Jinwudan or whatever it was sounded expensive.


    "Creation."


    After Xie Wuan finished speaking, he flew away on his sword.


    The melon eaters saw that Lin Xinghe walked out of Xie Wuan''s space unharmed, holding a cat in her arms. They also heard, with the help of the thousand-meter-ears, that she got some sort of powerful pill?


    The crowd was in an uproar.


    Lu Qin didn''t have the money to buy the ears props, so she could only stand on tiptoe in the crowd and listen to other people''s discussions. She didn¡¯t understand what they were talking about, and all she saw was Xie Wuan flying away on his sword.


    She was waiting for Lin Xinghe to make an embarrassment of herself, but she only saw Lin Xinghe walking in front of the crowd with the seemingly sweet but actually cruel cat in her arms.


    Someone asked her curiously, "What did it eat?"


    "It''s some kind of medicine pill, I don''t know what it does, but Xie Wuan said something about creation..."


    Saying that, she patted Xiao Xue Ji lightly.


    The cute cat jumped to the ground and turned into a ferocious lion.


    Lin Xinghe appeared surprised and asked, "Xiao Xue Ji, can you change anything else?"


    Xiao Xue Ji quickly turned into other animals and even humanoids, accurately replicating the figures in Xie Wuan''s space.


    The crowd was stunned.


    Lin Xinghe smiled lightly and said, "I''m really lucky that I bought this cat. It''s really worth it."


    The cat was much more than just worth buying!


    The magic potion merchant was also among the melon eaters. After he lost the magic broom in the lottery, he told everyone that Lin Xinghe was really lucky. His magic broom was made with a lot of precious materials. Yes, Lin Xinghe was really very lucky.


    Now that Lin Xinghe bought an ornamental pet cat in the Interplane Mall, it developed a new skill in less than a day. This EE went to the portable space-bubble of the top student of the xianxia department. When she came out, her ornamental, ordinary pet cat became able to transform into all sorts of mythical creatures. Paired with her magic broom, it would make Lin Xinghe undefeatable.


    He admitted it.


    Lin Xinghe was some fucking European Emperor!


    Was there still time to buy a cat like hers?


    TL Notes:


    **Melon eaters is directly translated from Chinese, meaning people who eat watermelon and sit on the side to watch main events unfold. They enjoy gossiping about famous people.


    ***Thousand-meter-ears are similar to the extendable ears from Harry Potter. They allow people to hear things that are really far away.


    ****The characters for Jinwudan are literally translated as golden-crow core/pill. Because Lin Xinghe and most of the other characters don¡¯t know what a Jinwudan is, it hasn¡¯t yet been revealed in the novel either. Jinwu most likely comes from a mythical bird, a crow that represents the sun.

 CH 24.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 24.1


    In fact, Lin Xinghe didn''t know what the Jinwudan did, but Xie Wuan gave her such a perfect setup, so it would have been strange if she didn''t use it.


    She took advantage of the situation to show Xiao Xue Ji''s transformation skills in front of everyone.


    She also asked Xiao Xue Ji to stage a touching scene in front of the cafeteria the next day.


    She pretended to miss the setting of the previous exam room, turned on her phone, and played the video.


    In the video, she had recorded the scene of Xiao Xue Ji obediently holding Fang Ziyue¡¯s phone and watching a horror movie.


    She let out a long sigh, pointed at the Xiao Xue Ji on her phone, and asked the real Xiao Xue Ji beside her, "Can you turn into her?"


    Xiao Xue Ji immediately turned into a dumpling toddler, and she had five mouths in the same style as the Xiao Xue Ji in the video. The people who were gossiping and eating in the cafeteria silently put down their bowls and chopsticks.


    Lin Xinghe''s eyes welled up, and she hugged Xiao Xue Ji.


    It took a long time for her to say, "Be a dear, hide the other four mouths please. Just one mouth is enough, or else you will affect the appetite of the students around you."


    Xiao Xue Ji obediently changed her mouths back and sat quietly next to Lin Xinghe. Because her legs were too short, her feet couldn''t reach the floor while she was sitting on the chair, and her pale baby feet swung back and forth.


    The appetite of the classmates around them instantly improved.


    Lin Xinghe had passed Xiao Xue Ji''s true face in front of everyone and felt relieved. As for the rest, well, she couldn''t figure out what effect the Jinwudan actually had, but everyone believed that any pill that came out of Xie Wuan''s space-bubble must have been a good thing.


    It would not be surprising if the Jinwudan could make an ordinary cat evolve into a demon cat.


    Lin Xinghe planned to take it slowly so that everyone could accept Xiao Xue Ji''s rapid progress step by step and avoid suspicion.


    However, the rumors worked quickly. After seeing that Xiao Xue Ji evolved from an ordinary pet cat to a demon cat that could transform, people started spreading other false rumors about Xiao Xue Ji.


    One day, when Lin Xinghe was watching a random exam, she saw with her own eyes other people bragging about Xiao Xue Ji in the chat¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾Oh, the freshman in the modern department is Lin Xinghe. She and her cat both entered the xianxia boss¡¯s space-bubble. Yes, they came out completely intact. Her cat even stole the Jinwudan! The boss wasn¡¯t even angry. What luck! ¡¿


    ¡¾It must be nice to be a cat, you can do whatever you want when you look cute, and when you eat the boss¡¯s Jinwudan, the boss won''t even be angry. Being cute justifies anything? Sighs, all cats are so sneaky.¡¿


    ¡¾I''ve seen Lin Xinghe''s cat in person once, and I really liked it. I want to own one too! I looked at the price in the Interplane Mall¡­ It¡¯s worth over 1000 points! When can I afford one T_T ¡¿


    ¡¾Xiao Xue Ji is really amazing, she can turn into a lion! ¡¿


    ¡¾It can also become a giant dragon! As long as it wants to change, there is nothing it can''t change into! ¡¿


    ¡¾It can not only transform into anything but also breathe fire! ¡¿


    ¡¾It can summon water! ¡¿


    ¡¾It can also speak human language! ¡¿


    ¡¾It has a super strong learning ability! I heard it can master a skill a day!¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s a capitalized ad for cats! ¡¿


    ¡¾Okay, it''s real, Xie Wuan is a cat slave! As long as it¡¯s cute, it can break into his personal space and have no punishment. After it meowed, Xie Wuan will say it''s its ability. ¡¿


    ¡¾For advertising this Xiao Xue Ji, you can get free, high-level equipment. ¡¿


    ¡¾Join the Koi Sect and win every exam without doing anything!¡¿


    Lin Xinghe felt that she might not need to be so cautious.


    ...Xie Wuan''s Jinwudan seemed to be very powerful.


    But Lin Xinghe wasn¡¯t sure what kind of effect Jinwudan had on Xiao Xue Ji. After consuming it several days ago, Xiao Xue Ji could transform 10 times before needing stamina recovery, which took about an hour.


    As for the illusion- creation skill, Xiao Xue Ji hadn¡¯t used it yet.


    She didn¡¯t seem to know how to.


    Lin Xinghe guessed that she needed the guidance of others.


    But this wasn¡¯t the most important thing. Right now, Lin Xinghe was more concerned about the next exam.


    Her next exam room did not have a protection period for freshmen and had an elimination system. Moreover, it would be a mixed exam for the whole school. It would be much more difficult than the freshman exam room.


    The school stipulated that one exam per student was mandatory every month, and other exams could be signed up for independently. The exam room was opened when the number of people reached 100. For compulsory participation, the school would randomly arrange candidates to participate, and the people who signed up for the exam could form teams with each other.


    She watched a lot of exam rooms of mixed exams. Students from different departments had their own skills, and the fight scenes were extremely busy. Some could use talismans to sing a spell and destroy half a building in a minute. Most of the modern students in the exam room huddled together in a group.


    After an exam, the eliminated students were mostly from the modern era department. Even the ancient department had students who could use martial arts, so they could scrape by and at least stay alive.


    Lin Xinghe felt more and more that the school was purposely making things difficult for students. Dying in the examination room was a final death, and those who survived and were eliminated would have to face the predicament of not getting the guaranteed points. Each month¡¯s living fees were a predetermined fifty points. Students in the modern era department were basically all poor. No wonder so many modern students had to work part-time to earn points.


    She now had 280 points, and after meals, she only had enough points to survive for five months. That was, of course, if she didn¡¯t die in the mandatory monthly exams first.


    The more Lin Xinghe thought about it, the more she felt that the school was actually very dangerous.


    She could only prepare for the exam more seriously.

 CH 24.2

    A week later, when Lin Xinghe was in class, she saw another message pop up from her cyan bracelet¡ª¡ª


    Will Student Lin Xinghe please arrive at Area B of the examination room in one hour to take the monthly examination. Tardiness or cutting will result in 1,000 points deducted as punishment.


    It was eleven thirty in the morning.


    The teacher was still explaining the Heart Sutra expressionlessly on the podium.


    When Lin Xinghe received the notification, she found that she was the only one in the first class who received the notification. According to the rules, students who were taking the test could skip class, and it would not count as an absence.


    She whispered to her tablemate Gu Taoyao, got up, and left the class.


    The head teacher also received the notice, glanced at Lin Xinghe, and continued to explain the Heart Sutra.


    She had already prepared her items much before the exam. The box of gold bars was too heavy, and Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t have anything like a certain portable space-bubble, so it was really troublesome to carry. Still, she stuffed a gold bar, as well as some daily necessities, the stamina enhancer potion and her magic broom into her bag. She also brought Xiao Xue Ji.


    Originally, she didn¡¯t plan on taking Xiao Xue Ji into the next exam room, but Xiao Xue Ji had become a favorite in the eyes of everyone because of Xie Wuan. It was a relief¡ªLin Xinghe had been really nervous about leaving Xiao Xue Ji by herself for such a long time.


    There was still an hour and a half before the exam started. Lin Xinghe chose to go to the exam room early. After all, this was a school-wide exam with an elimination system. Everyone was her opponent. She had to familiarize herself with the other exam candidates and analyze the most suitable teammates.


    Lin Xinghe thought that she had arrived early, but she didn¡¯t expect half of the candidates to already be in Area B. She had no intention of talking to other people, so after arriving in the waiting area of


    the examination room, she calmly analyzed the people around her.


    This was the first time that Lin Xinghe mingled so closely with students from other departments. Compared with the mediocre modern villains, the students of other departments were much more flashy and impressive.


    There were quite a few people riding on magic brooms who seemed to know each other and gathered in the sky to make idle chit chat.


    The students from the xianxia department were more calm, sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if they were meditating.


    There were also many students from the ancient era department stretching and doing impressive kungfu moves.


    After Lin Xinghe looked at them, she found that all of their physiques were stronger than hers¡ª not the muscle strength that could be obtained through exercise, but physiques enhanced by magic potions.


    There were also some modern students huddled together in the far-off corner of the room.


    Soon, Lin Xinghe noticed that there was a candidate who also brought his companion animal. A huge green snake sat there, and its owner was sitting on its head, with his legs lazily crossed, and there was an empty social bubble of a few meters around him. The others seemed to be quite afraid of him, and even the group of people riding magic brooms glanced over there by accident and quickly retracted their eyes.


    At this moment, the owner of the green snake, who had been snoozing the whole time, suddenly sat up straight and patted the green snake on the head. The green snake immediately slithered to the edge of the waiting area. Wherever it passed, the candidates automatically gave it a wide berth, and even the crowd of candidates on brooms flew to the other side.


    The owner of the green snake was greeting a candidate who had just arrived at the examination room. He seemed surprised and said, ¡°I wanted to win first place, but seeing you here, Jiuge*, I can only resign myself to second place.¡±


    Hearing that, Lin Xinghe took a few more glances at the man named ¡°Jiuge.¡±


    He was an extremely tall man, taller than Chai Yong, but he was slender. He looked like he had a bit of Western blood in his veins, and his facial features were clear and noble, a nobleman who walked out of an oil painting.


    ¡°Oh, what luck! I was assigned to the same exam room as the boss of the fantasy department. He will occupy at least one of the top ten places.¡±


    The people who ate melons were always so considerate.


    When Lin Xinghe was curious, they gave her the answer.


    There were a lot of fantasy department bosses, the one named ¡°Brother Jiu.¡±.. Due to Lin Xinghe¡¯s frantic studying of the big bosses of various departments, she could instantly recognize this title.


    His full name was Alfred Rudolph, the ninth in the family, known as ¡°Ninth Older Brother¡±. He used to be the villain in a Western Fantasy novel. It was said that he appeared as a gentle and elegant count on the surface but was actually cruel and power-hungry, always undermining the rule of the righteous emperor. On that path, his body hadn¡¯t been strengthened, but its defense ability was unique. Apparently, he could stop a boss¡¯s attack whenever and for however long he wanted, and he would still be as steady as a mountain. When other people fought bosses, they did everything possible to find their weaknesses. When Jiuge fought bosses, he did it halfheartedly, stopping the bosses¡¯ every attack effortlessly. His power was strong enough to make previously undefeated bosses question their life choices.


    At this time, the proctor arrived.


    Lin Xinghe realized that he was Teacher Qin from the previous exam room.


    After he read the rules of the exam room according to his script, he opened the space-time rift.


    When Lin Xinghe was about to enter, she paused for a while and glanced at the proctor.


    He scolded, ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, there are still candidates lining up behind you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe sighed in relief. Although she couldn¡¯t fathom why, Xiao Xue Ji was safe. A familiar bright light flashed in front of her eyes again, and when she could see again, she found herself on a noisy pier.


    A huge cruise ship was moored beside the pier.


    The cyan bracelet displayed the exam prompt¡ª¡ª


    Find an Alpine Rimerose*.


    Hint: There are 50 Alpine Rimeroses in this test room.


    TL Notes:


    *Jiuge literally means ninth older brother.


    **Alpine Rimeroses are a special breed of roses that will be described more in the next chapter. The direct translations of the characters in Chinese are ¡°snow mountain roses,¡± which means that, once again, Lin Xinghe is in an exam room that has something to do with a snowy mountain.

 CH 25.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 25.1


    Lin Xinghe''s first reaction to the exam prompt was that it was difficult.


    In her recollection, alpine rimeroses* were the hue of white jade, a symbol of elegance and purity. There were only 50 roses in a test room of 100 people, which meant that at least half of the people in this test room were set up to fail.


    The exam prompt said to look for alpine rimeroses, so where were they?


    Were the alpine rimeroses in this world similar to the alpine rimeroses from the world of her before-novel? The Snow Maiden in the previous exam room didn¡¯t match her perception of Snow Maidens.


    Lin Xinghe thought for a moment then looked around calmly.


    This time was different¡ªshe was not alone. The candidates in the fantasy and xianxia departments were now more low-key than they were in the waiting room. To blend in with the civilians, they put their brooms and companions away and integrated into this seemingly ordinary modern world.


    The pier was crowded.


    Judging by the clothes of the people around her and the cruise ship, this world was very similar to her before-novel.


    Lin Xing had been on several cruises in different places. Of course, she won all the tickets through lotteries. Once, she was super lucky¡ªafter getting on the cruise, her ticket was randomly upgraded, and she enjoyed VIP cruise service with a personal butler for 18 days.


    Therefore, Lin Xinghe was no stranger to cruises.


    "Hello everyone, I''m your tour guide. My surname is Li. I will call off passengers¡¯ names, so please pick up your cruise ticket and room card when you hear yours. You can check in your luggage in Area A next door, and if you don''t need to check in your luggage, you turn left and go straight through the security check. Please wait in an orderly fashion for boarding.¡±


    Tour Guide Li** began to call names.


    However, he had gone through more than half of his list, and there was not a single candidate''s name that had been called.


    Lin Xinghe realized that some of the candidates around her had already left, walking in the direction of the ticket office. It was only then that she realized that in all the exam rooms, to the worlds inside, she was an outsider.


    The school wouldn''t assign her an identity fit for this world.


    The exam prompt was to find an alpine rimerose, and there was a huge cruise ship in front of the spawn point, which must have meant that the rose was on the cruise ship.


    ¡¾Hahahahaha, the sect leader looks like she isn¡¯t paying attention. She still doesn¡¯t have enough experience. Once you take more exams, you will realize that the fewer words in the prompt, the harder it will be. Especially for this kind of exam prompt, the first obstacle is obtaining passage on the cruise. ¡¿


    ¡¾Look at the fantasy department boss next door... He has already bought tickets and lined up to board the boat. ¡¿


    ¡¾The sect leader is so cute, just standing there and waiting for the tour guide to call her name¡¿


    ¡¾Sect Leader, don¡¯t just stand still! The tickets are limited, so hurry up and find a way to get onboard. If you can¡¯t get on the boat, it¡¯s probably impossible to find an Alpine Rimerose!¡¿


    Lin Xinghe went directly to Tour Guide Li and asked, "Are there still suite tickets for sale?"


    Tour Guide Li said embarrassedly: "All the suites have limited tickets, and they have already been sold out."


    But at this time, someone hurried over and said to Lin Xinghe, "I have a cruise ticket for a suite. I''ll sell it to you."


    It was a young man, looking very anxious, his brows furrowed and his hands restless.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Let me see the ticket first."


    The young man showed her the ticket.


    Lin Xinghe asked the tour guide beside them, "Is the ticket transferable?"


    He replied, "You just need to go to the ticket office and change the boarding information."


    Most of the facilities on the cruise were free and did not charge for food and drink. The suites offered better treatment, as well as free alcohol, exclusive restaurants, private areas, and personal butler services.


    Lin Xinghe readily exchanged her gold bar with his ticket, and they went to the ticket office to re-register the boarding information.


    The young man was quite anxious. While she was queuing at the ticket office, cold sweat kept beading and rolling down his forehead.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"


    The young man shook his head and said nothing.


    The ticket window had a sign:


    Please take out your passport at the ticket office window.


    Naturally, Lin Xinghe did not have the passport of this world.


    While she hesitated, the staff glanced at her and asked, "Name."


    "Lin Xinghe, Lin as in forest, Xing as in star, He as in river."**


    The staff said, "It''s done."


    Lin Xinghe looked at the students buying tickets at the next window and found that the rules weren¡¯t strictly enforced, so the passengers didn¡¯t actually need passports.


    After transferring the cruise ticket, the young man was so relieved; his lips were bloodless.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Thank you for transferring your ticket to me."


    The young man didn''t seem to have heard her words. He looked at Lin Xinghe and then at the crowd in the distance. His anxiousness overwhelmed him again, and he mumbled to himself, "It should be ok... No problems... I succeeded?"


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Succeeded at what?"


    The young man said cautiously, "The ticket is not refundable."


    The young man was acting strange. Seeing that Lin Xinghe had no intention of refunding the ticket, his whole body relaxed a little, and he said to Lin Xinghe, "Enjoy your trip."


    Saying that, he turned to leave.


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe grabbed his hand. She looked at Xiao Xue Ji on her shoulder and said, "Bite him, don''t let him run away." Before she finished speaking, the soft, cute fairy cat jumped down, opened its mouth, and bit the young man''s trousers fiercely.


    The young man wanted to kick the cat away, but the cat seemed to stick like glue to his pants, and its lake blue eyes slowly turned red.


    TL Notes:


    *Avalanche roses, translated as alpine rimeroses for dramatic effect, are a species of rose that actually exist in real life. In the exam world, they are slightly different, but the students don¡¯t know that, as the different roses are called the same thing


    **In Chinese, many people who work in an industry are called ¡°<Surname> <career>¡±, such as Chef Ramsey. This applies to those who work in other professions, such as tour guides, chefs, taxi cab drivers, and more.

 CH 25.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 25.2


    The young man looked at the little girl in front of him, who was still smiling and said to him, "Is it convenient for us to have a chat? If it¡¯s not, you may lose a leg."


    The young man¡¯s skin was suddenly covered in goosebumps.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Would it be convenient for you?"


    "¡­¡­Yes."


    There was a cafe right outside the ticket center.


    Lin Xinghe chose this place happily. There was still a lot of time before the cruise ship left, and she had boarding privileges that came with the suite ticket, so she wasn¡¯t in a hurry.


    She ordered a vanilla latte, took a slow sip, and asked the young man sitting across from her bluntly, "What do you know?"


    He stammered, "I don''t know anything."


    Lin Xinghe said calmly, "Look down."


    Xiao Xue Ji was sitting in his arms, and after receiving Lin Xinghe''s message, she transformed into the severed head of the young man.


    The young man screamed in fright, which attracted the attention of the waitress, who asked enthusiastically, "Sir, do you need any help? Ah, such a cute cat."


    The young man looked down and saw that the demon cat turned back into an innocent fairy.


    Lin Xinghe said, "We don''t need help, thank you. Could we have a quiet moment?"


    The waitress understood and left.


    Lin Xinghe smiled at the young man and asked again, "Are you sure you don''t know anything?"


    Her smile was gentle and pleasant, but in the eyes of the young man, she looked like a female demon who was getting ready to pounce.


    Ten minutes later, Lin Xinghe learned that the cruise ship was called the Alpine Rimerose.


    The young man¡¯s name was Wang Ke.


    He boarded the Alpine Rimerose half a year ago, thinking it would be a 2-week-long pleasant journey. Unexpectedly, on the first night, all the staff on the cruise turned into ligui*** and massacred the passengers.


    He survived a week with great difficulty. On the eighth day, the cruise ship was invaded by a different group of strange creatures, which also began to massacre the passengers.


    When it was about to dock in the port, the ship, which had piles of corpses and puddles of blood staining the decks, suddenly returned to its original state.


    All the ligui turned back to warm and attentive staff and helped the survivors off the ship.


    "The round-trip route of the cruise takes half a month. You boarded the cruise half a year ago?"


    Thinking of the past, Wang Ke became anxious and fearful again.


    "Every two weeks, as long as the survivors are alive, they will be forced to board the ship again. No matter how far they have fled, they will board the ship with a new round of passengers and go through the two rounds of carnage again. Unless you die, you have to go through boarding and disembarking over and over again."


    Lin Xinghe looked at Wang Ke''s nondescript appearance and asked, "How did you escape the massacres?"


    "There is a safe area on the cruise ship, and both groups of monsters will avoid it. I hid in it¡ªall the people still living hid in it. It¡¯s hell! It¡¯s so dark, pitch-black, and you can¡¯t even see your hand even if it¡¯s right next to your face. You can¡¯t make a single sound or light a single match, or else the monsters will discover you. Some of the living people were pushed to the point of committing suicide... I have to go home¡ªmy wife and children depend on me! I can''t die in this place..."


    Lin Xinghe broadly understood the circumstances. She asked, "So the only way to solve the problem is to transfer your ticket to a new passenger?"


    Wang Ke replied, "I don''t know if it will work, but the staff on the cruise who haven¡¯t yet become ligui told me this method, saying that as long as the ticket can be sold at the original price and the information on the boarding pass changes, the original ticket owner can escape the curse of the cruise ship. Regardless if it¡¯s true or false, I have to try it..."


    Wang Ke knew that the little girl in front of him was a powerful person who definitely wouldn''t be his scapegoat. There was still time before passenger boarding, so he still had a chance to find a different scapegoat.


    He said tentatively, "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have forced you to go die for me, I..."


    He originally wanted to say that he was willing to exchange the ticket back, but the little girl in front of him inexplicably said, "I can board the boat for you, but you have to give me something in return..."


    Half an hour later, Wang Ke left the cafe contented and poor.


    Lin Xinghe picked up Xiao Xue Ji and slowly walked towards the special boarding location for distinguished guests.


    ¡¾Here we go again! The sect leader has begun to manipulate the NPCs! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe is really lucky! No one else had met Wang Ke. Other bosses bought tickets directly at the ticket office, and some even bought VIP tickets, but they still don¡¯t have such luck! ¡¿


    ¡¾Even if they had bumped into Wang Ke, they may not have been able to force him to divulge this information!¡¿


    ¡¾Report! I went to watch the live broadcasts of other bosses¡­ Sect leader was the first to discover the plot line! There are many students who still think they¡¯re just looking for alpine rimeroses on the ship! ¡¿


    ¡¾Just gonna put this out there¡­ Our sect leader¡¯s exam is so difficult? One murdering rampage is already hard to survive. The staff on the cruise ship will become ligui after the first night, and this cruise ship is not just any ship. It¡¯s famous for its professional customer service. There must be at least hundreds if not thousands of potential ligui. Not every student has combat power, so the ratio of students to monsters is too low. Not to mention, we still have no idea exactly how fierce these ligui are!¡¿


    ¡¾After experiencing the fierce corpse massacre, there will be another round of massacres by unknown creatures¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I think that there might not even be alpine rimeroses onboard the cruise¡­¡¿


    TL Notes:


    ***Ligui are a type of ghost in Chinese folklore. ¡°Li¡± means powerful, while ¡°Gui¡± means ghost/monster. Ligui are created when someone dies with too many or too powerful grievances.

    As soon as Lin Xinghe arrived at the VIP aisle, a steward came over to carefully carry her measly luggage, which consisted of just a backpack and a broom.


    The steward¡¯s last name was also Lin, and he sported a neat suit. Lin Xinghe was naturally happy to have someone help her with her luggage, even if that person would turn into a ligui after dark. Steward Lin also wanted to hold Xiao Xue Ji for Lin Xinghe, so Lin Xinghe did not refuse.


    "She''s very obedient and doesn''t make fusses, and unlike ordinary cats, she likes to eat human food."


    Steward Lin said, "Okay, I''ll keep that in mind."


    Lin Xinghe boarded the cruise ship under the guidance of Steward Lin.


    Steward Lin warmly gave Lin Xinghe a tour, "This is our lobby, there are eight elevators, and suite guests have exclusive private elevators. We have a total of twelve restaurants¡ªeight free restaurants and four VIP restaurants that all have 3 Michelin Stars¡­"


    Lin Xinghe looked at this magnificent hall while listening. From her position, she could clearly see each floor when she raised her head. She counted them and asked, "There are eight floors in total on the cruise ship?"


    "With the minus two floors, there are ten floors."


    Lin Xinghe had been on several cruise ships. Generally speaking, based on the size of such a large cruise ship, they had fifteen floors or more, so that more guests could be onboard at one time. After all, most of the money a cruise made came from the tickets and tips.


    After she entered the suite, she realized that the height of the suite was much higher than all the previous cruise suites she had lived in before. The cabins here were at least four meters high, and the furniture was all king-size.


    When the petite Lin Xinghe was in the suite, to outsiders, she would look like a child.


    The steward put down her luggage and said, "You can call me if you need anything. There is a button by the bed. I will do my best to keep you satisfied during this trip."


    When he was about to put down Xiao Xue Ji, Lin Xinghe smiled at him and said, "Before the  others board the ship, can you give me an in-depth tour of the boat? My cat really likes you holding her..."


    "It¡¯s my pleasure."


    When Lin Xinghe left the suite, she discovered that the suite next door was inhabited by the fantasy department boss.


    He also noticed Lin Xinghe, glanced at her lightly, and closed the door.


    When Lin Xinghe asked the tour guide before, the tour guide said that all the suite tickets were sold out, so he must have used some other method to obtain a ticket.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the room number of the fantasy boss and left with Steward Lin.


    Steward Lin showed her around every floor of the cruise.


    The height of each floor of this cruise ship was the same as that of the suite, and all the furniture was taller and wider than usual human-sized furniture.


    Lin Xinghe observed silently at first and asked some questions later.


    Steward Lin answered every question in great detail.


    There were a total of 500 passengers and 200 staff on the cruise.


    When the sun went down, there would be 200 staff-turned-ligui and 400 real passengers.


    Ligui were ghosts, which meant they were all human during their lifetime.


    Therefore, it was possible that the passengers would turn into ligui as well after getting massacred. That amounted to a total of 600 ligui against 100 students, and they still weren¡¯t sure exactly what powers the ligui had.


    After Lin Xinghe visited each floor, more than half of the passengers had finished boarding. Many students were running around the boat in search of clues, and some people were even asking the staff about alpine rimeroses.


    When Lin Xinghe heard the question, she paused slightly and listened to the reply: "Sorry, there are no roses on the cruise, but we can provide other flowers, such as lilies, tulips, baby¡¯s breath, sunflowers, and more."


    Lin Xinghe asked Steward Lin, "Why aren¡¯t there roses on the cruise?"


    Steward Lin replied, "The owner of the cruise doesn''t like roses."


    "Then why is the ship called The Alpine Rimerose?"


    "I don''t know, maybe it has a different meaning to our boss."


    "Is there any place you want to visit?" Steward Lin asked again.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I want to go to the exhibition hall on the sixth floor again. I am quite interested in the paintings."


    Steward Lin took Lin Xinghe there again.


    Lin Xinghe paid close attention to his expressions.


    Wang Ke told her that the safe area on the cruise ship was behind an abstract painting called "Blood,¡± and there was a hidden room behind it. If there was even a bit of light or noise emitted from the room, the people hiding in it would be discovered.


    Wang Ke also said that one of the staff told him how to escape the curse of the cruise ship while he disembarked.


    There were two hints in this information.


    First, when the staff members changed from human to ligui and back again, they retained their memories.


    The staff must also have known the secret hiding spot, or else Wang Ke would not have known that there were conditions for the secret room. This must mean someone made sound or light and was discovered.

 CH 26.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 26.2


    Steward Lin didn''t seem to have much of an opinion about the painting, but he said to Lin Xinghe profoundly, "Many passengers like this painting, and some people even say that they don¡¯t know if seeing it is lucky or unlucky."


    "I''ve always been lucky," Lin Xinghe said.


    Steward Lin smiled, "Then I hope you can always be lucky."


    Steward Lin asked her patiently: "Are there any other places you want to visit again? Less than half of the passengers are still waiting to board, and they will probably finish within 40 minutes. If there are too many people, I¡¯m afraid you might be disturbed."


    He glanced at the time and added, "It''s 2:20 in the afternoon, and there are still three hours and forty minutes until we leave the port. If you''re hungry, you can order a meal to eat in your room or go directly to the restaurant on the tenth floor to enjoy the food. At around 5:00 p.m., please go to the Skyland Restaurant on the fifth floor to participate in the safety drill."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "When will the sun set today?"


    "The weather forecast says 6:40."


    ¡­ That meant the massacre would begin 40 minutes after the boat sailed. The lively and bustling scene around them could only last for four hours and twenty minutes.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I''m a little sleepy and I don''t want to keep touring around. Could you take me back to my room?"


    "Of course, please come this way."


    Steward Lin brought Lin Xinghe back to her room again. Shortly after saying goodbye at the door, Lin Xinghe used the staff button to summon him again. He knocked on the door.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Please come in."


    Steward Lin asked, "Do you need any services?"


    Lin Xinghe was lounging on the sofa in the suite, holding a layered cocktail in her hand. She stirred it with a straw, and it soon became a brightly colored cocktail.


    She smiled at Steward Lin, ¡°Something¡¯s a little off with my cat. Can you help me? If not, could you ask the veterinarian on board to come over?"


    Steward Lin said, "Of course."


    Xiao Xue Ji was lying on the carpet, her head was facing the sea outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and her tail swished lethargically.


    Steward Lin squatted down and petted Xiao Xue Ji''s head, whispering "Aww, poor kitty, why do you look so tired? Are you seasick? Or hungry?"


    Xiao Xue Ji still didn''t respond.


    Steward Lin picked it up and said to Lin Xinghe, "If you don''t mind, I''ll take it to Dr. Wang, the veterinarian on our ship. He takes care of all the sick pets that passengers bring on board. He..."


    Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his arms. The soft, fluffy, and warm animal in his arms turned smooth and icy cold. He looked down and saw that the white cat had turned into a huge green snake at some point and wrapped around his body.


    The lady on the sofa who had been smiling sweetly before came over with her cocktail in hand, looked at him with an innocent look, and said, "I just want to do an experiment. Don''t worry, it won¡¯t hurt. Xiao Xue Ji will be gentle."


    She snapped her fingers.


    Xiao Xue Ji strangled the steward to death.


    ¡¾Holy fuck! The sect leader''s villainous behavior is finally showing! ¡¿


    ¡¾Steward Lin: I died so suddenly...¡¿


    ¡¾The others are still looking for roses, while the sect leader has killed the staff! ¡¿


    ¡¾I looked at other live broadcast rooms¡­ The magicians are doing divination. They¡¯ve seen the two rounds of massacres and the reflection of the big boss! It¡¯s a non-human creature with a human lower body and a dog upper body? I didn''t see it too clearly, but either way it''s really strong! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yep, the magicians next door are already drawing magic arrays to resist the first massacre! ¡¿


    ¡¾Report! Some people from the xianxia department also know about the massacre, and they plan to band together and set up a barrier! ¡¿


    ¡¾Someone from the ancient era department has already dug up information from the xianxia department. They have dispatched a ghost hunter, and they are already setting up talisman altars! ¡¿


    ¡¾Doesn''t our sect leader plan to cooperate with others? Go next door to find Jiuge! ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge: Don''t cue, I''m washing my hair. ¡¿


    ¡¾Our leader doesn¡¯t need to cooperate with others, like in the previous exam room! ¡¿


    ¡¾In the last exam room, the only danger was the Snow Maiden, but here, there might be 600 ligui soon!¡¿


    ¡¾Am I the only one who is jealous of Xiao Xue Ji''s talent? I only saw Fu Zhou*''s companion once, and I almost thought Xiao Xue Ji was Fu Zhou''s mount just now! ¡¿


    ¡¾Go! Go! Sect Leader!¡¿


    At this time, Xiao Xue Ji had changed back into a ragdoll cat. She yawned lazily and crouched at Lin Xinghe''s feet, rubbing her small head against her ankle from time to time.


    Lin Xinghe stared at the lifeless Steward Lin and reached out to touch his corpse.


    He didn''t respond, and he didn''t breathe.


    She had tested it¡ªbefore Steward Lin had a temperature, a heartbeat, and a breath, but now he looks like a real dead person.


    Xiao Xue Ji rubbed against her ankle, and her fluffy paws scratched in the air.


    Lin Xinghe felt a little itchy and reached out to rub her head.


    Xiao Xue Ji turned on her obediently, asking for belly rubs.


    "Meow¡­¡­"


    At that moment, Steward Lin, who had been lying on the ground, slowly, slowly, opened his eyes.

 CH 27.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 27.1


    It was a coincidence.


    At the moment when Steward Lin opened his eyes and was about to make a move, Lin Xinghe, who was happily petting Xiao Xue Ji, glanced in his direction and noticed the "false corpse¡± move.


    Lin Xinghe thought he wasn''t completely dead and moved faster than Steward Lin. A fruit knife on the coffee table stabbed him through the heart.


    ... Lin Xinghe''s movements were more agile and precise than when she had stabbed the Snow Maiden.


    However, she found that the fruit knife had passed through his body and impaled in the carpet. Steward Lin slowly sat up from the ground and flashed a warm smile at Lin Xinghe, "Is there anything I can do for you?"


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a moment but said calmly, "Your service attitude is so really good, I want to give you a 5 star rating! Where did you receive training? You can still be as enthusiastic as ever to the person who stabbed you¡­ such an attitude is simply unbelievable. A role model in the service industry. I want to make your professionalism famous! I want to give you a trophy to praise your professional ethics! I have never met a more professional steward in my life!"


    Steward Lin didn''t see the slightest panic on Lin Xinghe''s face. She was shamelessly praising his professionalism as if she had just had a pleasant conversation with him and had not tried to strangle him or stab him just now.


    The smile on Steward Lin''s face froze, and his face darkened.


    He floated up, his body no longer solid or bound to the laws of gravity.


    The fruit knife stuck on the ground suddenly pulled itself out of the ground and flew towards Lin Xinghe.


    Xiao Xue Ji jumped up, clamped the fruit knife in her teeth, jumped to the other side of the room, and spit out the knife. She hissed at Steward Lin and turned into the green snake, slithering towards Steward Lin quickly. Just as she was about to capture Steward Lin, Lin Xinghe realized that her snake body passed through Steward Lin.


    Steward Lin smiled with hostility, and the whole coffee table flew at Lin Xinghe.


    While the coffee table was flying, Lin Xinghe¡¯s sixth sense tingled, and she jumped on the bed, perfectly dodging the attack of the coffee table. Lin Xinghe dodged each item that Steward Lin threw, one after another.


    Steward Lin''s face became darker and darker, and his initial service attitude dissolved.


    He floated straight through the wall.


    Lin Xinghe thought about it.


    ... The room next door seemed to be the room of the fantasy boss.


    Then, Lin Xinghe heard a scream¡ªthe voice of Steward Lin?


    Jiuge¡¯s livestream chat went off.


    ¡¾Woooooo thanks to Lin Xinghe, I can finally stop watching Jiuge wash his hair...¡¿


    ¡¾If it weren''t for Lin Xinghe, I might have to wait until the end of the exam to see Jiuge leave the bathroom...¡¿


    ¡¾As a fan of Jiuge, this is the first time I saw Jiuge participate so early. ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge is angry! ¡°I¡¯ve been washing my hair for so long. What a waste!¡±¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge: You can do anything else, just disturb while I¡¯m washing my hair¡¿


    ¡¾Poor Steward Lin, just escaped from the tiger''s mouth and entered the wolf''s den...¡¿


    Lin Xinghe took Xiao Xue Ji next door.


    Facing the locked door, she knocked.


    A man''s slightly impatient voice sounded in the room.


    "Who is it?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Hello, I''m Lin Xinghe who lives next door to you. My steward accidentally drifted into your room..."


    The voice sounded a bit startled.


    "...One sec."


    The door was pushed open, shortly, revealing half a face with wet hair clinging to the scalp. This hairstyle was a test of face shape, but Jiuge''s mixed-race facial features were still handsome.


    He glanced at Lin Xinghe and his eyes fell on the cat on her shoulders. He remembered his manners and said in a more restrained tone, "Why did he float into my room?"


    "I just wanted to do an experiment and didn''t expect him to escape through the wall. I didn''t catch him in time."


    The girl smiled with sparkling eyes, looking just the part of the sweet and lovely girl next door.


    Jiuge wasn¡¯t familiar with Lin Xinghe herself, but he knew a thing or two about Lin Xinghe''s cat. After all, it was the only cat in the school that broke into Xie Wuan''s perverted space and came out unharmed.


    ...A long-haired cat.


    ...A furry cat.


    ...A cat with amazing fur.


    Looking at Lin Xinghe again, he noticed that her hair was thick and fluffy, shiny, supple and bright.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe heard Steward Lin yell, "Let go of me!"


    Lin Xinghe looked through the gap in the door and saw that the hair of the fantasy boss was stretched backwards in the air, forming a huge chrysalis at the end.


    Steward Lin''s voice came from inside.


    Lin Xinghe''s heart moved slightly and said, "Do you know what he is? One of the ligui who will massacre us tonight. After nightfall, all the staff on the ship will become ligui, which will be the first round of massacres. On the eighth day, the cruise ship will be invaded by an unknown creature, and the second round of massacres will occur¡­"


    Seeing his face unchanged, Lin Xinghe guessed that he knew this information too, so she took a gamble and said, "I also know that there is a safe area on this ship, and as long as there is no sound and light, it will allow people to survive the two weeks. Also, the creatures in the second round of massacres are probably of the giant species. Of course, I also know other information¡ªas long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can share it with you for free."

 CH 27.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 27.2


    Jiuge did know that there would be two rounds of massacres on the cruise. The students from the fantasy department contacted him as soon as they knew it, hoping that he could provide assistance and resist the first round of massacres with them.


    Jiuge was still thinking about it.


    The reason was very simple¡ªteaming with too many people was laborious and troublesome.


    But Lin Xinghe was only one person. She knew more information than the students from the fantasy department and already took action, which made the fantasy boss feel that she would not be so troublesome. After thinking a little, he said, "We can cooperate on the condition that I can quit at any time."


    Lin Xinghe said, "No problem."


    ... She just wanted to use the big fantasy boss as a cage to prevent Steward Lin from escaping easily.


    So she entered Jiuge''s room.


    As soon as the door was closed, Lin Xinghe smelled the strong scent of hair cream that emanated from Jiuge''s hair and the bathroom.


    Jiuge asked, "What other information do you know?"


    Lin Xinghe paced around the chrysalis formed by the hair and said while analyzing it, "I just did an experiment¡ªligui are not afraid of any physical attack and can move objects to attack us, but only one object at a time. It seems to be quite weak now, but according to what he said, his abilities will become stronger when the sun sets. I don''t know what the catalyst for that is. I¡¯m still analyzing that, as well as ligui¡¯s weak points. If we can find those, then the first massacre is easily survivable.¡±


    Jiuge was a little surprised. After he got on the boat, all he did was wash his hair. Actually, he only washed half of it. He hadn¡¯t even gotten his hair mask on yet, but the modern student next door had already excavated a lot of information.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe said again, "Can your hair grow any longer? For example, can it wrap around the whole room so that he has nowhere to escape? I want to continue the experiment."


    Jiuge was a straightforward person. After agreeing, he immediately lengthened his hair and covered the walls of the living room tightly. It was not the first time that he had done such a thing. A light source appeared, and the inside of the chrysalis was as bright as day.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him¡ªJiuge was surprisingly considerate¡ªand said, "A light-emitting magic tool."


    Steward Lin didn''t seem to give up. Like a blind fly, he bumped around several times and found that he couldn''t get out. He looked at the two of them as if he were a big enemy and controlled the candlestick on the table with his hands. He threw it at Jiuge, but before it touched him, it was trapped by the hair that appeared in the air.


    Lin Xinghe looked excited and said, "Come on, throw it again, I''ll see how long you can throw it."


    Steward Lin''s good attitude disappeared, and he screamed, "Let me out!"


    Lin Xinghe said: "We can¡¯t let you out, I still expect you to be my guinea pig..." She said to Jiuge again, "He can''t get through your hair, so try wrapping it around his limbs?


    Jiuge complied.


    Steward Lin was really tied up.


    Next, Lin Xinghe used all kinds of torture on Steward Lin¡ªflames, water attack, electric shock¡ªbut everything was useless. All the physical attacks easily passed through him.


    Steward Lin changed from vengeful to resigned to scared and disgusted. He closed his eyes and let Lin Xinghe torture him.


    Lin Xinghe was baffled. Was this ghost not afraid of anything?


    She asked Jiu Ge, "What material is your hair made from? Why can''t he get through it?"


    "I have a strong defensive power, so my hair has been strengthened to form a strong shield. So far, no species can break through my shield." Every time Jiuge took an exam, many people saw his ability with their own eyes. He felt that there was no need to hide it and continued, "The smaller the range, the stronger the shield, and vice versa..."


    ... This was also the reason why Jiu Ge was unwilling to cooperate with a group of people. Shielding too many of them would damage his precious hair.


    After thinking about it, Lin Xinghe said, "...Can you try to kill him? Squeeze his neck."


    The hair wrapped around the neck of Steward Lin.


    The look on his face grew more frightened.


    Steward Lin tried to struggle, hoping futilely that Jiuge¡¯s hair was stretched to the limit, but he still couldn''t break through.


    Jiuge said, "I main defense, so I usually wait until the boss is tired of attacking before I kill it."


    After Lin Xinghe pondered for a while, her eyes suddenly brightened and she said, "I can roughly guess why my attack was ineffective. The spirit and I are not in the same world, that is, although we are in the same world, our dimensions are different. The dimension he¡¯s in can barely pass as the second dimension. The dimension I am in is the third dimension. If he wants to attack me, he can only use the things of our dimension. If we want to attack him, we can only use the things of his dimension. Your defensive shield contains the property of non-breakable-ness, which includes the dimension he is in, so he can''t pass through your hair, and it can touch him... If we want to kill all 600 ligui, we may need classmates with attributes like yours."


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe said again: "But 600 ghosts is too many. Students with this attribute have to lead a group attack, otherwise we will be in a passive situation..."


    Jiuge heard Lin Xinghe muttering, "Six hundred is too many, we have to find a way to kill some of them before they turn into ghosts..."


    Seeing Lin Xinghe looking at him, Jiu Ge, who was used to being pushed to the front as the main attacker, was suddenly a little wary. Every time he took an exam, he was obviously the T*, but he always had to take on the responsibility of the main C**. After every exam, he lost a lot of hair. At this rate, he would become a bald Jiuge.


    TL Notes:

 CH 27.3

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 27.3


    However, before he could speak, Lin Xinghe said, "Boss! I need you..."


    ...Coming, the familiar lines that would push him to the C position again.


    Jiuge actually liked people with a lot of good quality hair, but facing such crazy hair loss, well¡­ Don''t even think about it.


    "...Help me seal the venue and leave the rest to me!"


    ...The words of refusal forming in his mouth came to an abrupt end.


    "... Seal the venue?"


    "Yes, let''s go find the captain."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Steward Lin in the corner and asked, "Do you have a way to prevent him from escaping? We have to take them by surprise."


    Jiuge asked Lin Xinghe to go out first and recreated the chrysalis. He went to the bathroom to pick up a dozen hairs that had fallen out when he had been combing and looked at them with heartache. The strands of hair turned into a cage.


    "After leaving my body, the power only lasts six hours," he said mournfully.


    "Six hours is more than enough," Lin Xinghe replied.


    Steward Lin was reluctantly transferred to a new cage. Before the two of them left, he glared at them fiercely, "When night falls, I¡¯ll take you..." Before he could finish speaking, a few sporadic strands of hair were shoved into his mouth.


    Jiuge was still very heartbroken, "...Why do I lose so much hair when I wash it!"


    Lin Xinghe and Jiuge were both suite guests. They were easily granted access to the bridge***.


    There were three people there¡ªone captain and two co-captains.


    The captain was a middle-aged man. He checked out Lin Xinghe. It was clear that he was one of those jerks addicted to pornography and multiplayer sports. He would look at women lasciviously and delight in their discomfort. The two co-captains were also similarly malicious,  their impure intentions written all over their faces.


    Lin Xinghe walked up to talk to them as if she hadn''t seen their salacious staring, which caught their attention.


    Suddenly, Xiao Xue Ji''s power exploded, and she suddenly turned into a strong lion, munching each man in one bite.


    When one captain and two co-captains turned into ghosts, Lin Xinghe said, "If the boss would please tie them up and buy me some time. It''s best for them to keep quiet."


    Jiuge hummed in response.


    Under their astonished eyes, the captains became prisoners.


    Lin Xinghe said again, "Please let Xiao Xue Ji out."


    Jiuge opened the door, and Xiao Xue Ji swaggered away.


    The captains wanted to speak, but their mouths were blocked by hair, so they could only make a whimpering sound. Jiuge looked disgusted and scolded them, "Don''t lick my hair!"


    Captains: ? ? ? ?


    At this time, Lin Xinghe fumbled for the buttons in the captain''s room and found the broadcast button.


    She cleared her throat, pressed the broadcast button, and said, "Dear passengers, I''m sorry to inform you that we accidentally discovered that the internal parts of the cruise ship have malfunctioned. This will take two days to repair, and we can''t go to sea for the time being. I''m sorry for the delay. For your safety, please line up to get off the ship in an orderly fashion. As compensation, we will refund you double the ticket price on shore. Those who leave the cruise within half an hour will be given a cruise trip of the same time next month. These tickets are limited, first come first serve..."


    There was surveillance in the captain''s cabin.


    Lin Xinghe could see the crowds whispering confusedly. Even the staff seemed surprised, guiding the passengers off the ship one after another. Security personnel were dispatched to the bridge.


    Lin Xinghe added, "Another emergency notice. A lion escaped from the zoo cabin of our cruise ship. Please leave the cruise ship as soon as possible. Please do not hide in the cabins. It has been trained by special personnel and can open doors."


    As soon as she stopped talking, a huge lion appeared in front of the crowd and roared loudly, causing the crowd to run around in fright. The passengers who had been guided by the staff ran to the center of the lobby of the cruise ship.


    Lin Xinghe added, "Students, please help the passengers to disembark. After the passengers disembark, we will communicate with the other staff."


    The classmates from all the departments were originally thinking about how to deal with the massacre tonight. Everyone knew how to add, and the number of potential ligui was astonishingly high..


    ...Crap, the fewer passengers there were, the fewer ligui they had to deal with! Wouldn''t it be best to deal with the first massacre by cutting off the root of the source of most of the ligui?


    They immediately cooperated with Lin Xinghe to drive the passengers off the boat.


    The staff were all ordinary mortals. Facing such weird passengers who were so organized, disciplined, and had strange abilities, they could only watch as hundreds of passengers left the ship.


    After three hundred passengers left the cruise, under the torture of Lin Xinghe, the captain spirit told her how to close the boarding passage.


    It was the first time that Jiuge was so happy to be T, and his gaze towards Lin Xinghe was warmly surprised.


    ¡¾It¡¯s written all over Jiuge¡¯s face: Lin Xinghe, I want to form a team with you! I''ll be your T!¡¿


    ¡¾I laughed so hard, the sect leader is awesome!¡¿


    ¡¾There are 300 fewer opponents! Now it is one to two, right? ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, it is one to two, and there are still two and a half hours before night¡­ Maybe they can find a way to destroy half of them, or even more, then it will be one to one, or two to one. . ¡¿


    ¡¾Owo our sect leader went to a new exam room but is still carrying everyone! So enviousss¡¿


    ¡¾The candidates in this exam room are united as never before! ¡¿


    ¡¾Koi Sect Leader, I want to be in the same exam room with you! I also want to try the taste of being carried...¡¿

    ***The bridge is the room on the ship where the captain(s) control the navigation.

 CH 28.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 28.1


    Faced with the sudden difference in their routine, the staff on the cruise were very confused and tried their best to stop it, but they couldn''t do anything about it. They could only hide away from these strange passengers.


    The crew disappeared, and three hundred passengers disembarked.


    The huge and spacious ship suddenly became empty.


    Some students were already talking about it.


    The voice in the broadcast just told them how to prevent the majority of their ligui enemies from spawning. By not allowing the passengers to stay on the boat, the crew members couldn¡¯t kill them and turn them into ligui as well.


    The impulsive candidates around were already gearing up to cooperate.


    Under such a tense atmosphere, even the originally cautious candidates were starting to help the passengers disembark.


    But now, facing the empty cruise ship that didn¡¯t contain a single alpine rimerose, some candidates were already regretting it.


    "... They were all NPCs. Our test prompt was to find an alpine rimerose. What if the alpine rimeroses were on them?"


    "Yes, and again, who was the girl on the broadcast? Why should we listen to her?"


    "Everyone is a competitor in the same exam room. How could she be kind enough to help us?"


    "Bah, you group of brainless people have been tricked. If the alpine rimeroses aren¡¯t on the cruise ship, they must be on the NPCs. The story line has not yet unfolded, and there are so many NPCs, so they must have the roses. I just told you, don''t listen to the person on the intercom. What can a woman, a bed warmer, think of? No one listens to me, you all are being brainwashed, that woman probably used to do pyramid scheme marketing..."


    The speaker was Li Jun from the fantasy department. Because he had lightning powers, he had a following in each exam room. If the test questions were related to force-killing bosses, for example¡ªhe always got the top ten. If the test questions were more IQ-related, he generally would miss the top ten but not be outside the top fifty.


    Li Jun used to be a complete villain¡ªa murderer and a rapist. After coming to this school, he restrained himself for a while, but after finding out the systems of the school, he became more arrogant. None of the pretty NPCs in the exam room could escape from his clutches. In the school itself, he got his hands on each student that looked decently pretty. He had always maintained a good relationship with his pimp, Lu Qin of the modern era department.


    Last time, when Li Jun heard that there was a modern freshman who had been an actress in her before-novel, he had wanted her. To him, what he couldn¡¯t have was good, and the more he couldn¡¯t have it, the more he wanted it. The next day, Lu Qin sent him a photo of Lin Xinghe, and he was even more unsatisfied. That woman was young and beautiful, petite and of the needing-protection type. Just a glimpse of her made him want to press himself on top of her and listen to her whimpers and moans.


    Li Jun became excited and went to stalk and rape Lin Xinghe again, but he did not expect Lin Xinghe to take the freshman exam so early. Not long after, Li Jun also took an exam. When he came back, it was time for him to take the monthly mandatory exam again.


    Because of this, Li Jun had no idea that within half a month, Lin Xinghe, who he had been thinking of getting his hands on, was already infamous in the school. Someone even established a sect for her, and she also successfully went into the S-level Xie Wuan¡¯s space and came out unharmed.


    But people like Li Jun, even knowing about all of this, would only think that the inept women of the modern department must be attached to some man, and that her fame during the day was just the result of hard work in bed at night.


    Li Jun wanted to destroy the boarding gate with a simple and rude method¡ªsummoning a small bolt of lightning. But his ability was extremely taxing, and the more small bolts of lightning he summoned, the weaker his bigger bolts would be.


    Li Jun wanted to trick others into breaking the gates, so he said loudly, "Before the cruise departs, call all the passengers back and open up the gates. Just make up a reason to get all the passengers back."


    The more Li Jun thought about it, the more he felt that it was all the fault of the woman on the radio, who now must be secretly delighting in her cleverness out of sight. A woman was a pest, and she was also a hindrance without a brain.

 CH 28.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 28.2


    Most of the crowd''s mentality was drifting with the flow. Some people heard Li Jun''s words and felt that they were justified. When the passengers who got off the boat were just about to be called back, static sounded over the radio. Then a man''s voice sounded, "Three hundred passengers disembarked, so now there are only 100 ligui and 100 candidates left on board?"


    "A passenger NPC told me before that the cruise is a reincarnation system. After the massacre, the surviving tourists will return to the shore and be forced to ride the cruise again and again until they die. Even if they escape, they will be on the ship when it sails. All the passengers who suddenly appeared on the cruise ship survived the previous round.¡±


    The candidates stopped immediately when they heard this.


    "...This girl knows a lot of information."


    "By the way, does anyone think the man''s voice on the radio is quite familiar?"


    "It seems to be the big boss of the fantasy department, the one surnamed Rudolph..."


    "Oh yes, Jiuge!"


    Hearing the name of the largest figure in the fantasy department, the students all looked at each other, unwilling to go against Jiuge¡¯s ideas.


    ¡­ Would they do it? Or not?


    Li Jun was angry when he saw that they didn''t move. He was also angry with Rudolph¡ªthey were in the same department, and Rudolph was much better than Li Jun. Li Jun thought that unfair, as Rudolph was just a damn T who defended himself until the bosses got tired and went in for the easy kills.


    Li Jun looked down on Rudolph from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he was a sissy*. If he wasn¡¯t a sissy, why would he stay in the bathroom all day to wash his hair and do extra haircare? When he lost a few hairs, he acted like the world was ending.


    The woman on the intercom was definitely having an affair with him.


    "...Don''t just stand there, if you don''t hurry, the ship will leave without the passengers."


    At this time, Jiuge''s voice sounded over the intercom again, "The test prompt was to find the alpine rimeroses. Don''t you worry that there will be clues among the 300 NPC passengers?"


    The girl replied nonchalantly, "Of course not. The cruise ship is a reincarnation cruise ship, so only the staff are fixed. Every time the reincarnation repeats, new passengers board the ship, so they aren¡¯t even NPCs. Only the staff and the passengers who have experienced many reruns can be considered serious NPCs.¡±


    All of a sudden, the girl''s voice paused, and she said angrily, "Hey, I forgot to turn off the intercom button..."


    "Oh, we were overheard?"


    "Yes, boss, don''t you mind?"


    "I don¡¯t mind. What do we do with these ghost captains? It''s disgusting for them to lick my hair."


    Everyone who heard the intercom immediately felt that Lin Xinghe''s words made sense. Obviously, the staff was the key. The people who were about to break the gate stopped.


    At this time, the girl on the radio continued, "The intercom is already on¡­ There are two rounds of massacres, so it is very difficult for me to pass this exam on my own. I don''t mind sharing the information I know with all the candidates. In my experiments, if I kill the employees now, they will turn into ghosts in advance. Before night falls, their abilities are relatively weak. They cannot be attacked by ordinary means, and the only way they can attack us right now is with tools of our world.¡±


    Lin Xinghe explained her two-dimensional and three-dimensional world speculations.


    "...The only person who can touch them at the moment is Jiuge. His defensive shield is unbreakable and can travel through different dimensions. Students who have similar skills as Jiuge should come to the captain''s room, and we can discuss how to annihilate the ghosts. I suggest that we arrest all the staff and group them together, as we can¡¯t control them when they turn into ghosts..."


    The girl on the radio laughed, "Anyways, they''re human and weak now, so let''s catch them and lock them up."


    The cruise employees hiding in various places naturally heard the intercom.


    ¡­What was going on?


    ...These weirdos knew they were going to turn into ghosts after dark and still wanted to capture them?


    Li Jun didn''t believe it, so he killed a random employee.


    When he turned into a ghost, Li Jun used his lightning to slash him, but the lightning directly went through the ghost''s body and scorched the ground.


    The staff sneered, gave him a defiant look, and floated away.


    Many students around them used their abilities, but unfortunately they didn''t work, proving that Lin Xinghe''s words were true. They all realized that Lin Xinghe''s suggestion was the best.


    The students present were all attending a villain school, and most of them were very capable villains. They efficiently captured and tied up the staff. In less than half an hour, all the employees who were still alive were detained.


    Ninety-five staff members were locked up in an earth-magic cage, packed like sardines.


    The employees confusedly looked at the people who were shamelessly examining them.


    ...Had the script been reversed?


    TL Notes:


    *Based on Li Jun¡¯s personality, the more accurate translation of what he calls Jiuge is the f word that doesn¡¯t  mean intercourse. Translator & editor decided it was much too offensive to use, so we wrote ¡°sissy¡± instead.

 CH 29.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 29.1


    Most of the staff on the cruise tortured and killed countless passengers on the past cruise journeys.


    After a long time, they felt like the little overlords of the sea, controlling the life and death of ordinary human beings. Human beings were like ants¡ª easily trampled to death.


    But now, the situation was reversed.


    The group of people picked between them like they were particularly succulent produce and finally selected the strongest among them¡ªthe head of security.


    They heard someone in the group say, "Choose one for an experiment."


    "Pick this one."


    "Will they still become ghosts if they have no remains?"


    "Let¡¯s try?"


    The group of people talked like they were discussing what to eat at a buffet. They smiled and untied the head of security. Oh, no, it wasn¡¯t a person, but a potted green plant on the deck that suddenly stretched out a slender shoot to tie up the head of security. He was hung upside down in midair.


    "Fire?"


    "Yup."


    "Anyone with fire magic or fire talismans?"


    "I¡¯ll do it¡­¡­"


    A flame swept over the body of the security team leader.


    He howled in pain.


    "...Take it easy, if he dies and turns into a ghost, you have to switch to another one."


    "Who has strong direct fire powers? Let''s see if it can become a ghost if it is burned into ashes!"


    "Everyone with fire powers, please assemble"


    "I''ll light it up."


    "I''ll add a little..."


    "I''m coming too!"


    Staff on the cruise ship: ...Were they born from stoves?


    Under the combined fire attack of all the students, the fire was even fiercer than fires in the crematorium. The body of the head of security was burned to the extent that there weren¡¯t even bones left, only a pinch of fluffy ashes, blown away by the wind.


    "...It seems to be successful?"


    "No, he turned into a ghost! Be careful! He¡¯s hitting you with a parasol!"


    The ghost of the head of security waved the parasol on the deck and smashed it at the group of students who used fire. However, before it hurt anyone, the magical plant caught it with a vine.


    "...It seems that Jiuge and the others were right. The ligui are weak now and can only control one item at a time."


    "You have so many muscles, but you can only control a parasol, so weak!"


    The security lead naturally heard and was so angry that he could only hide first and run away without a trace.


    "...Unfortunate. He ran away before we could do more experiments."


    The students¡¯ eyes fell on the employees in the cage again.


    Employees-Panicking.jpg


    "Fuck, some of the staff are trying to kill themselves, stop them."


    "There are only ninety four left now."


    "Did anyone go to the captain''s room to ask Jiuge for some hair..."


    "Don''t even think about it, unless Jiuge directly controls it himself, we can''t use it. Besides, his hair is as precious as life to him!"


    At that time, a familiar female voice sounded over the intercom.


    "There is a ghost in room 8023. Students who want to experiment can bring him out.¡±


    The classmates immediately gained a little more trust and affection for the female voice.


    Someone asked quietly, "Who knows which class the girl on the radio is in? When did Jiuge get a girlfriend?"


    "Jiuge doesn''t have time to chase a girl¡ªhe spends all his time trying to increase his hair volume. His girlfriend can only be a hair freak. I know who she is, Lin Xinghe of the modern era department!"


    "Who?"


    "The one who came out of Xie Wuan''s space-bubble safely."


    "I know her! The leader of the Koi Sect! So her name is Lin Xinghe!"


    "Yes, yes, she is Lin Xinghe, the hope of the future of the modern department. I watched her in the last exam room, and even without magic props, she was still able to carry the whole exam!"


    ¡­¡­


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe was in the captain''s room watching the various monitors on the cruise.


    Xiao Xue Ji was fighting the male ghost that Li Jun electrocuted. She couldn¡¯t touch the male ghost, and the items that the male ghost controlled couldn¡¯t hurt Xiao Xue Ji.


    Jiuge noticed what Lin Xinghe was watching and asked, "Are you worried about your pet?"


    Lin Xinghe was definitely not worried about Xiao Xue Ji.


    The ghost was too weak and couldn¡¯t even scratch Xiao Xue Ji¡ª even if it got more powerful, it still might not be able to best Xiao Xue Ji.


    She was thinking about something that had nothing to do with this exam room.


    She previously thought that Xiao Xue Ji could escape the detection of the space-time rift because she died. After she came to the different world of the villain school, she was reborn and forgot all about her past.


    For a few days, Lin Xinghe had been thinking about whether Xiao Xue Ji was a dead thing or a spirit that cultivated a body.

 CH 29.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 29.2


    At that time, she didn''t think much about it. Whether she was a dead thing or a living thing, Lin Xinghe was keeping her, so what did it matter?


    Now Lin Xinghe could be sure that Xiao Xue Ji was not dead, as she couldn''t touch the spirits here. Then she must have left the space-time rift in the last exam room with a living body.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t think that Xiao Xue Ji could escape the space-time rift and the proctor¡¯s powers by turning into a golden hairpin. If so, she was definitely not the only one who managed to sneak out.


    Therefore, Lin Xinghe guessed that something must have been manipulated.


    As for what exactly was manipulated, Lin Xinghe didn''t know.


    She believed that one day she would discover the truth with her own two hands.


    Lin Xinghe looked at Jiuge and said, "No, I''m thinking about something. We are looking for alpine rimeroses. In addition to the possible clues from the staff and the returning passengers, the unknown creatures from the second round of massacres may also be helpful. The NPC told me that the second round of massacre started on the 8th day, when unknown creatures boarded the cruise ship."


    Jiuge asked, "Do you think that if we don''t sail, we won''t encounter the second round of the massacre?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "No, I''m not worried about this. The ghosts here have memories of every reincarnation, proving that they all knew there would be a second massacre. But they still followed the previous route every time. We can derive two meanings from this. First, they are in cahoots with the creatures in the second round of massacre, so they follow the same route every time. Second, they¡¯re like the returning passengers¡ªthere is no way to escape the route of the ship.¡±


    Jiuge felt that he would lose more hair if he thought about these types of problems too much. He said, "Which one do you think is more accurate?"


    "We don¡¯t have enough clues to confirm either theory yet..." Lin Xinghe glanced at the captains beside her and added, "They are all very cunning and may not answer our questions honestly. But we can ask the returning passenger NPCs. The NPC told me that he had been hiding in the safe area and never went out, but someone else went out and survived by luck. That passenger should have more clues..."


    Of course, Wang Ke didn''t actually tell her this.


    Wang Ke and the others were about to die before they found the safe zone, so he would not have any extra time to observe the creatures in the second round of massacre. He only knew two scattered points. One was that there was a second round, and the other was that the second round of massacres was carried out by strange, unknown creatures.


    The second half of her sentence she made up on the spot.


    She revealed this now to see the reactions of the captains.


    Pity, they all had big beards and their mouths were full of hair, so they didn¡¯t change their expressions at all. The clues were hidden very deeply.


    But Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t feel worried¡ªthere was still a long time in this exam room, and she would eventually find a weak spot.


    Now, the returning passenger NPCs had to board before she could get the details out of them.


    She glanced at the pier, which was crowded with people. She decided not to call in the returning passengers.


    "There''s still an hour and a half before we set sail, and the passengers will not appear on the boat until the boat has sailed..." Lin Xinghe looked at Jiuge again and asked, "Jiuge, do you know how to sail the ship"


    Jiuge said, "...No."


    At this moment, the captain, who was gagged by the hair, started making protesting noises.


    Jiuge yelled, "Don''t lick my hair!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "He seems to have something to say."


    Jiuge gave him a cold look and pulled his hair out of the captain¡¯s mouth. The captain said, "No one can touch my boat, this is my boat, and I am the captain."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Then can you sail it for us?"


    The captain hesitated.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, I''ll find someone else to sail it..."


    "I¡¯ll do it! I¡¯ll do it!" The captain looked humiliated and burdened.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, you can drive, but only if you tell me which of my guesses is right? The first or the second? Tell me, and I will let you drive..."


    The captain looked like "you''re deceiving people too much" and said, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "I¡¯m going to find someone else to sail..."


    "Second, we can''t escape this kind of reincarnation."


    Jiuge asked, "Do you think what he said is true or false?"


    Lin Xinghe smiled sweetly and said, "Let''s take it as true first and test it boldly. If he lied, there''s still time to go back and test the first one..."


    Lin Xinghe turned on the intercom to inform the classmates on the boat that they were about to set off. After she announced this, she heard someone knocking on the door.


    Jiuge glanced at the surveillance camera and said, "It¡¯s my friend, Fu Zhou of the xianxia department."


    Lin Xinghe had an impression of Fu Zhou.


    He was the male classmate lounging on his green snake in the waiting area of


    the exam room who no one dared approach.

 CH 30.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 30.1


    Jiuge let Fu Zhou in.


    Fu Zhou had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and his smile was somewhat suave. He looked at Jiuge, then at Lin Xinghe, and said, "Doesn¡¯t Jiuge never team with others? What does she have that makes her a worthy partner? How is she better than I am?"


    These words were so melancholic that Lin Xinghe felt goosebumps all over.


    She looked at the two and made up a big drama in her mind.


    Jiuge said bluntly, "You and I are both T¡¯s. You only need one T in a team. Besides, she has more hair than you, and your mount is bald and hairless."


    Fu Zhou: "..."


    ¡­¡­


    ¡¾Actually, I originally didn''t think that Fu Zhou was actually a T. ¡¿


    ¡¾Fu Zhou used to be an outer sect disciple without much cultivation knowledge. It seems that he seduced the daughter of the sect leader and learned the art of setting a barrier. By accident, he mastered this method, so his other abilities are all mediocre. He is indeed a pure T, but he is pretty lucky and got a good magic weapon in every exam. In addition, he has an offensive mount, so he takes exams like a duck in water.¡¿


    ¡¾However, Fu Zhou''s hair loss is really serious. I heard that all the anti-baldness medicines in the plane mall have been hoarded by Fu Zhou and Jiuge. Every time a new brand is released, the two of them go crazy. ¡¿


    ¡¾Asking as a weak modern student, it is understandable for the Jiuge to lose his hair. After all, Jiuge uses his hair as a shield, but why does a cultivator also lose his hair? ¡¿


    ¡¾It depends on the situation, Fu Zhou cultivates the crooked way, and there is always a price to pay. Hair loss is only a slight backlash. ¡¿


    The livestream chat was very pleasant.


    However, no one in the exam room could see it.


    Lin Xinghe''s attention at this moment was on the surveillance¡ªthe cruise ship had set sail, so the returning passenger NPCs could appear at any time.


    She asked the captain, "Where will the passengers appear?"


    "Anywhere is possible," the captain said. "It isn''t fixed¡ªcould be the place they are most afraid of or it may be the place they think is the safest."


    ...This information was so useless, it was better left unsaid.


    Lin Xinghe glared at the captain.


    He didn''t look at Lin Xinghe, instead focusing on sailing his cruise ship.


    The ship¡¯s horn sounded, and it gradually left the pier. In front of the translucent glass of the bridge was an endless blue sky and white clouds reflected onto the sea. The captain murmured, "The sea is my belief..."


    At this time, Lin Xinghe found the first returning passenger NPC on the surveillance camera, a woman who appeared in the kitchen. Lin Xinghe couldn''t see her face clearly through the security cameras. As soon as she appeared, she hurriedly looked for food and put it in a bag that she pulled out randomly. She moved quickly, at times looking over her shoulder as if there were ghosts waiting to claim her life.


    Just when she had collected a full bag and was about to leave the kitchen, she bumped into a man.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Is that person a student in our school?"


    Jiuge glanced at him.


    "I don''t recognize him."


    Fu Zhou also glanced at him.


    "Neither do I."


    That person was none other than Li Jun.


    After he hacked a staff member to death, he found that his lightning ability was ineffective against ghosts. He was extremely angry, especially after he learned that the woman speaking over the intercom was Lin Xinghe.


    Li Jun had looked down on women in his before-novel, and when he came to this school, he still looked down on women. However, he realized that there were both strong and weak women. If they were stronger than him, he would not provoke them, but if they were weaker, he would harass them. He detested the powerful women, thinking that women should be quiet, gentle and considerate. Women should let the men do things like fighting and killing. They should only be responsible for doing housework and serving men.


    Now, he knew that the woman on the radio was no other than Lin Xinghe.


    Li Jun began to think that he was wise and knowledgeable. Lin Xinghe was not a righteous woman¡ª when she saw a person with a lot of points, she would serve herself up willingly. She was no different from the gold-digging woman from his before-novel, shallow and dumb. Only sissies like Rudolph could be attracted to her, and the group of idiots who listened to her orders were all idiots with water in their heads.


    Originally, he was at most aroused by Lin Xinghe, but once she became boring, he didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with her anymore.


    Now he wanted to obtain Lin Xinghe more and torture her fiercely to put down her free spirit.


    He just wanted to oppose her directly.


    Li Jun cussed under his breath and continued looking for the ghost. Unexpectedly, it wasn¡¯t easy to find. He realized he was hungry and happened to see the kitchen of a restaurant as soon as he looked up.


    Li Jun cussed again and went in looking for food. As soon as he went in, a woman bumped into him.


    "Do you not have fucking eyes? Fuck..."


    Before he finished his words, Li Jun realized that the woman in front of him was quite pretty. Although she was a bit skinny, her skin was clear and pale. Li Jun''s last exam was full of dangers, so he didn''t have time to have fun with women. Now he was full of fire, and a pretty woman just happened to appear in front of him. Her panicked expression made him more eager to conquer her.


    Li Jun didn''t even think about who she was. Maybe she was a girl from the ancient department who didn¡¯t do very well in school, or a modern freshman, or a staff member. Regardless of who she was, he could afford to provoke her.

 CH 30.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 30.2


    He grabbed the woman in front of him and forced her towards the stove.


    He walked closer and pushed her onto the counter with his body.


    The woman panicked even more and said, "You..."


    However, before she could finish her sentence, Li Jun laughed, ¡°Scream, you should scream under this lord¡¯s body... This lord will take good care of you and make you comfortable so that you won¡¯t want to leave this lord."


    Li Jun reached out his hand to tug at the woman''s clothes. As soon as he touched her pale skin, he couldn''t help but get excited.


    The woman''s screams and resistance made him even more excited.


    People who liked to watch Li Jun''s livestreams had long been accustomed to him showing pornographic scenes to show everyone his superiority. There was also a group of people in the school who secretly became Li Jun''s fans.


    In the past, Li Jun would deliberately expose the women''s bodies to attract more audience members and get plane points.


    Li Jun did so again.


    However, before he could tear her clothes off, a voice sounded over the intercom, "Thank you for working together to find the weakness of the ghost, everyone has worked hard! Now, a video will be broadcast to entertain the students,."


    There are many projector screens in the cruise, including two huge screens on the deck, which were used for the guests to watch movies while swimming.


    Just as Lin Xinghe''s voice fell, the images on the screen appeared.


    Almost as soon as the screens lit up, an indescribable organ appeared.


    The students and staff on the deck were stunned.


    Lin Xinghe''s voice sounded over the intercom again. It was different from her gentle, soothing tone in the past. Her voice was sonorous and powerful, as if she were announcing a game.


    "This is a male¡¯s genitals. Oh, look, the built-up dirt is so thick that it flakes off like ashes. The size is about the same as an ordinary stick of lip balm. Let''s look at his balls, wow, how can there be such magnificent balls in this world! As shriveled as a thousand-year-old demon, with an undeveloped size! Such a contradiction is so damn attractive on him!"


    The camera zoomed out again.


    This time, everyone saw the lower body of the man and the woman, and the woman was completely censored out.


    "Let''s take a look at his thighs and calves, as well as his ass. There isn¡¯t any muscle at all, just chunks of fat wrapped in loose pants. Look, he started moving like a frog! I believe his damn attractiveness can make him hard for an hour¡­ Oh my god! He wilted! He wilted in a second! He wilted as if he didn''t go in at all! Congratulations! The Wilt Man can be no other than him!¡±


    The camera zoomed out again, this time completely revealing the man''s frantic face.


    "Oh, God, oh, groundhog, let''s take a look at the Wilt Man and recognize his face! From now on, I''m going to establish a Wilt Man Sect for him! Congratulations to this classmate for being the sect leader and the righteous protector of lip balm. I believe that from now on, Dirty Balls will become the religion of their church! Let us congratulate them with warm applause!"


    The screen went completely dark.


    Lin Xinghe said to Jiuge, "Thank you for the censoring tool."


    Jiuge said, "You''re welcome, I thought you would stop the situation directly."


    Lin Xinghe said, "For the scum like him who can be in heat anytime and anywhere and knows that people are watching his live broadcast, the best way to deal with him is to give him a taste of his own medicine."


    The classmates on the deck were talking.


    "Isn''t that Li Jun?"


    "Are you still thinking about him? I usually don¡¯t even bother to remember he exists."


    "I was even more shocked that it was so short? So small? And one second? Seriously?"


    "You can¡¯t tell from their appearance. The more ordinary a man is, the more confident he is. He might feel that one second is an hour."


    ...


    The classmates in the exam room didn''t care about this either. After all, they were still taking the exam, and it was just a small occurrence. But the people in the popcorn gallery were different.


    The livestream protected personal privacy. If you wanted to reveal yourself, the school didn¡¯t care, but if you didn¡¯t, the stream would automatically censor it.


    Now Li Jun''s willy was displayed in this way.


    His livestream chat was full of ridiculing comments.


    ¡¾Is this for real? Then does he normally take potions to last longer?¡¿


    ¡¾Well, he definitely drinks water every time before he does it. ¡¿


    ¡¾The stamina potions in the plane mall are sold out every time they are refreshed. Hahaha, did Li Jun buy them?¡¿


    ¡¾He''s so dirty there, doesn''t he wash it? It probably stinks, and he still thinks himself as handsome?¡¿


    ¡¾How dare he say that he conquers all women? Not even a dog would be conquered by that.¡¿


    ¡¾I have a good impression of Lin Xinghe now! These types of people should be exposed more, lest they feel that they can get away with anything. There are too many male villains like Li Jun, the sect leader should diss him! ¡¿


    ¡¾Isn¡¯t that right! Every time Li Jun is in the examination room, he is so smug and gives off bad vibes. Everyone¡¯s a villain, so how bad is he, that he makes other villains uncomfortable? ¡¿


    ¡¾He will probably have some trauma and not be able to get it up from now on...¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s good if he can¡¯t get it up. He should just focus on the exams and not do such evil things.¡¿

 CH 31.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 31.1


    Li Jun had never suffered such a big humiliation in his life. Even in his before-novel, his defeat wasn¡¯t as humiliating!


    His blood pressure soared, and the veins on his face were about to pop out.


    When Li Jun was out of his mind with rage, the female passenger took the opportunity to break free from his imprisonment and ran towards the door of the kitchen. However, before she touched the door of the kitchen, she heard a crackling sound, and then with a "bang", a black object with an unpleasant smoking odor fell in front of her.


    It was a security camera.


    Then came the same sound several times, and the security cameras in the kitchen dropped one after another.


    She only hesitated for a second, and a heart-piercing pain hit her, causing her to kneel on the ground involuntarily. Her feet were scorched and smoking, and the smell of burning skin pervaded the air.


    There were footsteps behind her.


    She watched as the beast-like man closed the door of the back kitchen and locked it.


    He looked down at her with hatred and anger in his eyes.


    He raised his hand and slapped her heavily.


    Her face instantly became red and swollen, and her body fell, splayed across the ground with the strength of his slap. He grabbed her hair with one hand and scolded fiercely, "You shameless bitch, you women are all the same, how dare you escape from this lord? This lord will not allow you to go. You can only obediently serve this lord here..."


    Tears welled up in her eyes.


    "It''s right to cry. Women should cry under the man''s body and feel pleasure. This lord likes you. Cry, cry louder, and cry for this lord. You fucking cunt, Lin Xinghe, this lord will kill you one day."


    The NPC had already experienced two journeys on the cruise. Despair and pain swelled in her heart with her suffering.


    She thought that one day she would be able to escape the cruise¡ªas long as she kept going, she would be able to live. This time, she didn''t get on the boat and ran far away from the people but tried to get enough food to hide away for two weeks. But for some unforeseeable reason, a bunch of strange people hustled her off the ship and set sail before the normal time.


    The cruise was no longer full of superficial excitement like it had been the previous two times, but was so quiet¡ªnot a single staff member could be seen. She didn''t have time to think about it, just heading straight to the back kitchen of the restaurant closest to her. But she didn''t expect to encounter such a beast.


    At the time, endless despair swelled in her heart.


    Not far away, there were kitchen knives placed one next to another.


    Li Jun noticed her gaze and smiled disdainfully. He reached for a kitchen knife and snorted coldly, "A mere knife can''t hurt me..." With great strength, he pulled her from the ground by her hair.


    Her scalp stung.


    Then she was pressed down on the cooking table again, and the kitchen knife was placed directly beside her face. The sharp knife reflected her desperate and bloodless face.


    She lost all desire to live and didn''t even realize that Li Jun cursed and left.


    She lay there in humiliation, looking at herself reflected in the kitchen knife.


    The darkness and hardships of the past fifteen days paraded around in her mind.


    She heard the crackling sound and the unpleasant pungent smell again, as if telling her that she couldn''t escape, escape the terrifying cruise or the humiliation.


    She picked up the kitchen knife and swiped it at her neck.


    Xiao Xue Ji dodged Li Jun''s lightning strikes one after another, making Li Jun angry. On the cruise, he didn¡¯t dare use thick lightning bolts for fear of splitting the ship.


    But in this small kitchen, it simply affected his performance too much.


    He felt unlucky today, and he didn''t know where the lion came from. It just broke into the kitchen door and dodged all his lightning strikes. His blood pressure soared again, and he didn''t care whether he was on the cruise or not. Thinking of it made him so unhappy, he decided to let the whole ship be buried with him and immediately summoned a big bolt of thunder that he slashed at the huge lion.


    As soon as the lightning struck, the surrounding pans and pots were scorched and blackened.


    But the lion disappeared.


    Li Jun was slightly taken aback.


    At this moment, he heard the sound of a mosquito, and in the blink of an eye, a green snake that fell from the sky wrapped around his body. Li Jun''s pupils shrank, and another lightning bolt struck.


    In order to avoid the thunder, the green snake released his body.


    It was also at this time that Li Jun saw another green snake slither out of the cupboard.


    He did recognize this green snake. It was the mount of the xianxia department¡¯s Fu Zhou.


    Li Jun didn''t want to deal with Fu Zhou or his mount. When he turned his head, the beautiful woman had died on the cooking table.


    It was ominous. He stopped fighting with Xiao Xue Ji, spit on the ground, and left the kitchen.


    The kitchen led to the dining room outside.


    It was originally a western restaurant, and the decoration style was similar to the rest of the cruise ship. The empty tables and chairs made the restaurant look quite deserted.


    Li Jun suddenly felt chills.


    The restaurant was closed to the outside on all four walls, but he felt a cold wind blowing from all directions. When he looked around, he couldn''t see where the wind was blowing from.


    Unpredictably, a cup on the table fell on his shoe. It smashed his foot and rolled to the side.


    Li Jun flipped the table irritably.

 CH 31.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 31.2


    He looked towards a security camera and cursed, "Lin Xinghe, you''d better pray not to fall into my hands, or I¡¯ll kill you!" He originally wanted to go to the captain''s room to find Lin Xinghe, but when he remembered that Rudolph, that sissy, was also there, he backed away again. That sissy couldn¡¯t do anything and only knew how to make chrysalises, but the chrysalises were still unbreakable, and nothing could be done against him.


    But he didn''t believe that Rudolph prick could protect Lin Xinghe for the rest of his life¡ªone day she would be alone.


    Li Jun''s words were heard by several people who had been watching the surveillance.


    Jiuge glanced at Lin Xinghe and saw her staring blankly at the monitor with a strange expression.


    Jiuge noticed her expression.


    Fu Zhou paid attention to Jiuge''s expression and said in a cool voice: "Jiuge, instead of worrying about her, you should worry about her mount. The security cameras are broken, and no one knows what happened inside. Her mount isn¡¯t strong either¡ªafter eating Xie Wuan¡¯s Jinwudan, it can at most be a strong chameleon. If it came across such a powerful fantasy type, not just one, but ten mounts could be defeated.¡±


    Fu Zhou added, "It''s a waste for a Jinwudan to be eaten by a pet cat. If it had been eaten by my Leiting*, maybe he could have become a sprite king*. Well, for the sake of Jiuge who values


    you so much, if you need my protection, I will reluctantly agree."


    Lin Xinghe seemed not to have heard any of what they said.


    She kept watching the security footage.


    The wall was densely covered with surveillance screens. Jiuge stood next to her and followed her line of sight. He didn''t know which screen she was looking at, but she was watching something intently, concentrating so hard that she could not hear the outside world.


    It wasn¡¯t just Jiuge who didn''t know¡ªthe people watching her livestream didn''t know either. They just knew that Lin Xinghe was standing in front of the surveillance screens.


    ¡¾Ah, what is the sect leader looking at? ¡¿


    ¡¾They have been standing here for almost twenty minutes. ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s so boring. I¡¯m going to another live broadcast room. ¡¿


    ¡¾Take me, I''ll go too, I want to go watch the other candidates! ¡¿


    ¡¾If you want to go, go quietly, don''t go and talk nonsense, no one cares if you stay or not. ¡¿


    ¡¾Wait...wait a minute! Should I send a high-energy chat? ¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck! Come and watch the livestream of the candidates on the deck! ¡¿


    ...


    At the same time, the captain who had been quietly sailing the cruise suddenly let out a strange cry, and the two co-captains who were bound by Jiuge broke free of his hair and floated with the captain.


    Their bodies changed. They had been light, fluttering spirits, but now they became strong and huge, as if some force had expanded their bodies. The thermos on the table smashed into Lin Xinghe and exploded with a loud noise, the pieces flying at her.


    Jiuge reacted quickly.


    Before the thermal flask exploded, he used his hair to weave a shield in front of Lin Xinghe.


    Fu Zhou exclaimed, "Jiuge, you have changed, you weaved a shield of love for Lin Xinghe and not for me! My face was almost disfigured!"


    Having said that, Fu Zhou calmly added a barrier in front of himself.


    The captains knew that Lin Xinghe was the weakest, so the strongest one attacked her while the other two went to distract Jiuge and Fu Zhou.


    Jiuge was so overwhelmed that he couldn''t wrap his hair around the captains.


    The ligui seemed to predict his movements. Every time Jiuge extended a hair, the ligui forcibly blocked all his attempts to protect Lin Xinghe.


    Fu Zhou set up an enchantment in front of himself and was having a staring contest with the other ligui.


    It wasn¡¯t satisfied and threw things to smash his barrier.


    It was also at this time that Fu Zhou realized it was unfair.


    Ligui could control 3D things, but the students couldn¡¯t control 2D things, so they could only focus on defense.


    However, the barrier in front of Fu Zhou stood firm, so he had the time to watch Lin Xinghe.


    His eyes widened.


    Lin Xinghe seemed to have a dodging buff on her body. No matter what the captain threw at her, she could always dodge it accurately. Even if it was an attack that resembled a goddess scattered flowers, she always found a way to dodge the attack and stand back up. She even grinned at the captain, taunting, "Again, again!"


    There was almost nothing left to smash in the room. The ligui realized it couldn''t deal with Jiu Ge and Fu Zhou at the same time and let out a strange cry. The two vice captains stopped at the same time, and all three floated through the glass.


    Previously, in order to allow the captain to navigate, he had removed the hair-shield on the glass window.


    Fu Zhou asked in shock, "Do you know kung fu too?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "No."


    "How did you dodge so accurately?"


    "I just think they can''t hit me, so I dodge with confidence."


    Fu Zhou: ? ? ? ?


    Lin Xinghe didn''t have time to talk to Fu Zhou anymore. She glanced at the sky outside¡ªat an hour before sunset, the captains had already turned into ligui.


    She looked at the surveillance screen.


    Under the attack of the ligui, many of the monitors had broken.


    Despite this, chaotic scenes could still be seen in the few remaining security cameras. Scenes of ligui chasing the candidates were the same across every screen.


    All the candidates were also faced with Fu Zhou¡¯s problem just now.


    The ligui could attack them.


    But they could only defend.


    TL Notes:


    *Leiting is the name of Fu Zhou¡¯s snake. It literally means thunderbolt.

 CH 32.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 32.1


    Fu Zhou and Jiuge were also taking in the chaos.


    After transforming into ligui, the employee spirits more than doubled in size.


    In addition to being able to manipulate multiple items, they could flexibly combine them, and even use the firearms on cruise ships. Lin Xinghe didn''t know where they hid these weapons, but all of them could see the wooden muskets floating in the air.


    They could hear the sound of the wooden muskets going off from the bridge.


    Fortunately, most of the people weren¡¯t ordinary and had some form of protection. But they could only defend themselves.


    Even if someone used wood magic to grow a shield of leaves, it blocked the items but not the ligui themselves.


    A fantasy student was hiding in the cover of some leaves, but a ligui got inside and scared the living daylights out of him.


    The same was true for fire magicians and xianxia students. The fire couldn¡¯t touch the spirits at all, so they could only burn the missiles as they flew towards the students. The ligui used water from the pipes to put out fires that came near them.


    The same was true for cultivators from the xianxia department.


    The ancient department¡¯s ghost-hunting masters set up altars, but they were useless against the ligui who splashed cinnabar dog blood on the students¡¯ faces.


    None of the methods that students had previously used to overpower ghosts seemed to work in this exam room.


    Many people were envious of Jiuge''s indestructible hair shielding power and even of Fu Zhou''s barrier enchantment.


    They didn¡¯t want to run away anymore; hiding and being chased was so tiring.


    There was chaos on the ship.


    The bridge was the only place that was very quiet.


    The five sides of the room were protected by Jiuge¡¯s hair, and Fu Zhou''s transparent barrier reinforced the glass.


    Fu Zhou said, "Assuming that a hundred ligui try to get in, how long would it take for them to break our shields?"


    "Ten thousand years."


    "No, a hundred thousand years."


    The two men who were very proud of their defensive abilities sized each other up.


    Fu Zhou said, "Jiuge, we are invincible together. We have the strongest defensive ability in the world. If you cooperate with me, we will only be stronger¡ªthose ghosts are nothing to be afraid of."


    Jiuge calmly rejected Fu Zhou''s teaming request again, "You don''t need two T''s in a team. It''s so chaotic outside, aren''t you worried about your Leiting?"


    Fu Zhou said, "It''s okay, it can hide in the sea if it can¡¯t beat the ligui."


    Hearing Jiuge mention his mount, Fu Zhou remembered Lin Xinghe''s pet cat and then looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Seeing this, Fu Zhou almost lost his voice.


    Although it was very safe here, Lin Xinghe looked way too calm.


    While the two of them had been talking, Lin Xinghe had simply tidied up the destruction left behind by the ligui. The shards of glass were swept into a corner, and the three chairs were put back in place. Lin Xinghe began boiling water and took out a bunch of chrysanthemums, goji berries, longan, and red dates from the small refrigerator.


    She washed the ingredients slowly, then scalded and disinfected the glassware with boiling hot water, and finally put the ingredients into the kettle and started to make health-preservation tea.


    After a short while, the sweet fragrance of longan and red dates floated through the captain''s room, mixed with the fresh scent of chrysanthemum.


    Lin Xinghe poured three cups of tea, brought them over, and asked, "Do you guys want some?"


    Fu Zhou: "...What time is it, why are you drinking tea!"


    Jiuge was calm, took a glass, and said, "It¡¯s healthy and good for your hair."


    Fu Zhou: "...Oh, then I''ll have a drink too, thanks."


    The three of them sat on chairs and drank three cups of health tea.


    ¡¾This... What is this livestream? Just came in, not sure. ¡¿


    ¡¾You may not believe it, but this is livestream of a massacre on a cruise. ¡¿


    ¡¾They seem to be drinking tea? And discussing hair and wellness? ¡¿


    ¡¾Keep watching! There will be surprises. ¡¿


    ¡¾Pay attention to the sect leader, you will never guess what she will do next! A surprise in ten minutes! ¡¿


    Jiuge asked Lin Xinghe while drinking tea, "It''s so chaotic outside, won''t you call your pet back?"


    Lin Xinghe said: "Xiao Xue Ji is very smart. She knows how to adapt to changes. The ghosts outside can only control objects, but she can turn into tiny creatures to hide, and she has a super strong learning ability. It¡¯s like a battlefield outside, so she has a lot of opportunities to hide and learn.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, "My Leiting is also very smart. He can learn anything. He¡¯s the smartest snake in the snake world. After drinking your health tea, I will tell Leiting to mentor your Xiao Xue Ji in the future, to pay back my debt to you."


    Lin Xinghe said, "I was just thirsty and wanted to drink something sweet, so I made a little more tea and brought you a cup. It¡¯s not a debt."


    Fu Zhou snorted and said, " This one never owes debts, even a drop of health tea is also a debt."


    Jiuge glanced at the surveillance monitors and asked, "Should we head out?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Let¡¯s just stay here."


    "Stay here the whole time?"


    "It¡¯s not that we can¡¯t, but right now, I have to buy something."


    Saying that, she put down the cup of tea and tapped her bracelet.


    She browsed the shopping catalog.


    Jiuge didn''t ask Lin Xinghe what her plans were or what she wanted to buy. With an "oh" sound, he continued drinking the tea.

 CH 32.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 32.2


    Fu Zhou normally had a slow, easy-going personality, but he saw that the two of them were not in a hurry. He alone was lost in the fog, and he didn¡¯t trust Lin Xinghe, so he was a little anxious and asked, "You have a plan, right? If you don¡¯t, I can think of something!"


    After a while, Fu Zhou said again, "Let''s just find a lifeboat and cover it with Jiuge¡¯s hair. I¡¯ll add another layer of enchantment to solidify it. We can stay off the cruise ship and wait for the second massacre on the eighth day.¡±


    Fu Zhou watched as xianxia and fantasy students flew out to sea on brooms and swords.


    The ligui didn¡¯t give up and scuffled with the students on the sea.


    The ligui were also able to control the sea water and made whirlpools, forcing the students back to the cruise ship.


    Fu Zhou had no choice but to give up his idea. Fighting the whirlpools would take too much spiritual power, so his plan wouldn¡¯t work.


    He had no choice but to turn his head to see what merchandise Lin Xinghe was looking at.


    She browsed through ten rows at a glance, and the goods she was looking at were strange in many different ways.


    Fu Zhou¡¯s eyes teared up when he looked at her browsing speed, so he ignored her, picked up the health tea, and shut up.


    Half an hour later, Lin Xinghe stopped looking at the bracelet and focused on the surveillance.


    A few more hours had passed, and it was nearly ten o''clock in the evening.


    The candidates on the cruise were about to go crazy. For the first time, they were bullied by creatures  continuously for 5 hours without rest. They were exhausted.


    The ligui returned all their previous humiliation to them.


    They felt an unprecedented powerlessness, anger and humiliation, but they couldn''t do anything about it. Some students even said angrily: "Damn, if this goes on, I''d rather die than make it easy for them."


    Lin Xinghe finally stopped looking at the surveillance monitor screens. She turned around and said to Jiuge and Fu Zhou, "I have a small proposal."


    Jiuge asked, "What proposal?"


    Fu Zhou went silent for a while. At this moment, he felt that Lin Xinghe might not have any good ideas. He didn''t want to watch her go shopping or observe the monitors anymore. He lounged lazily on the sofa and didn''t speak.


    Lin Xinghe said cheerfully, "It''s almost time, let''s go do something!"


    Her eyes were sparkling, holding the already-cooled health tea.


    "...Let''s let those ligui know that when it comes to villains, we are professionals."


    ¡¾Coming right up! The villainous behavior of the sect leader is appearing again! ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯ve been watching this livestream from the start just for this moment! Go, Sect Leader, go! ¡¿


    ¡¾Did the leader think of a good plan? ¡¿


    ¡¾To be honest, I don''t think it''s easy to deal with. These ligui are really difficult to deal with. They beat the students as easily as if they were cheating¡­ the ghosts in this world are really powerful¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I am also worried about the sect leader. ¡¿


    ¡¾I choose to believe in the sec leader! ¡¿


    ...


    Jiuge asked Lin Xinghe, "What do you plan on doing?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I need you and Fu Zhou to provide the defense, but I just need to borrow your names."


    Fu Zhou asked, "What do you mean?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "There¡¯s no time to explain now. I have to implement my plan quickly, or else I''m afraid the candidates will start to give up."


    She turned on the radio and said, "Good evening, classmates, I''m Lin Xinghe from the first class of the modern era department. After my various experiments, I have found a way to subdue the ligui. It only takes a few points, and your trust in your companions. Of course, I will also keep an eye on the situation, and when anyone can''t keep going, Jiuge and Fu Zhou will provide defensive assistance in a timely manner."


    She added, "...It doesn¡¯t matter if the ligui hear us¡ªthey won¡¯t be able to do anything either way. Our current situation is very bad, and we are in a very passive position. I believe that many students are close to giving up. Please divide into several groups, preferably five to ten people in each group. The students with strong defense abilities should stay back and defend the camps,  and the people with strong attack abilities should get ready to fight. Nurses should also stay in the camps. Each team needs about two people to buy things on your bracelets. Try looking up the keywords astral projection, you will find a lot of soul-ejecting items and immortals¡¯ resolve potions*. The one-hour or two-hour trial version is inexpensive and affordable..."


    She added, "When your souls come out of your bodies, you will be in the same world as they are. The ligui aren¡¯t extraordinary, so you can bully them back as much as you like, but try not to kill them. It''s still useful for us to keep them alive..."


    The broadcast ended.


    The students on the cruise hesitated for a second. In less than half a minute, the Magical Heaven group of the fantasy department had already formed a team.


    They were harassed so badly before, and now that they heard the broadcast, they didn''t hesitate too much. Their trust in their companions and in Jiuge''s shield were enough to push them into complying with Lin Xinghe¡¯s directions. Three magicians immediately used the soul-ejecting medicine.


    When they turned into spirits, they found that they could really touch the ligui.


    In just ten minutes, the students separated into ten small groups, each with spirit attackers and base defenders and healers.


    The ligui were already fatigued. After all, they fought for five hours without a break in the hopes that they would outlast the passengers and get rid of them in one go. Unexpectedly, the situation reversed again.


    TL Notes:


    *Because the ligui are in 2D space, the students can only fight them if they are in 2D space as well. All they have to do is separate their souls from their physical bodies, and their spirits can fight in the 2nd dimension. The soul-ejection and immortal¡¯s resolve potions are both made-up potions available in the interplane mall that can help the students separate their souls from their bodies.

 CH 32.3

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 32.3


    Those people ejected their souls out of their bodies according to what the voice over the intercom suggested.


    Each passenger spirit was vicious, hunting the ligui down and returning them to the nightmare of being trapped on the deck like earlier in the day.


    Lin Xinghe now had time to explain to Fu Zhou, "This is why we had to wait so long. Everyone is in a competitive relationship. If I said it at the beginning, they either wouldn¡¯t believe me or would be reluctant to try my suggestion. After all, when their spirits are ejected from their bodies, they won¡¯t be able to go back if their bodies are destroyed. This requires a lot of trust in their comrades. But..."


    She paused, turning the glassware in her hand, and said, "When a person is beaten and bullied to a certain extent¡ªwhen they feel desperate and helpless¡ªand a way to turn the tables appears in front of them, they don¡¯t hesitate to try it. Then, when one person succeeds, countless others immediately follow.¡±


    Lin Xinghe added: "However, this method was inspired by one of the returning passengers. When that scum destroyed the security cameras, I was worried that he would hurt the NPC more than he already had, so I asked Xiao Xue Ji to save her, but she was still a step too late. Did you notice? When that scum came out of the back kitchen, the cup on the table fell onto his foot. It couldn''t have been knocked over by the wind, and it wasn''t a coincidence. The NPC turned into a ghost and hid well, so if you don¡¯t look closely, you can''t see her presence..."


    "...Also because she turned into a ghost, she wanted to take revenge on the human scum, but because she just turned into a ghost, her strength was weak, and she couldn¡¯t do anything at all. She saw that the ligui created by that scumbag was also there and turned to take her revenge on it. I saw her grab the ligui¡¯s hand when taking her revenge. It was also because of this scene that I was sure that in this world, or to be more specific, on this cruise ship, we can only attack them as spirits."


    Fu Zhou had actually been staring at the monitors for a long time.


    But now, it seemed that he and Lin Xinghe hadn¡¯t been looking at the same monitor.


    How did she find so many clues?


    When Lin Xinghe turned the cup again and was about to drink the rest of the health tea, Fu Zhou suddenly said, "I''ll make it hot for you."


    Jiuge silently handed over an empty glass.


    The student side with fighter spirits was invincible.


    After 5 hours, the ligui still weren¡¯t able to defeat a single student, while the students took less than two hours to subdue more than half of the ligui. The remaining half fled.


    Lin Xinghe left the bridge then.


    She headed towards the back kitchen of one of the restaurants.


    Fu Zhou wanted to find his Leiting, so he volunteered to protect Lin Xinghe, leaving Jiuge to defend the bridge alone.


    The two walked the way without meeting anybody.


    In just one short day on the cruise, after two rounds of conflict, the splendor of the original ship was no longer there. It looked like the aftermath of a disaster¡ªthe walls were broken or completely gone, and piles of rubble were strewn across the ground, accompanied by gaping holes.


    Fu Zhou felt that Lin Xinghe was a decent person. Although she was from the modern era department, she was very smart, definitely a teamable villain. If Lin Xinghe formed a team with him and Jiuge formed a team with her, then Fu Zhou¡¯s team would have the strongest tank, Jiuge, and the strongest support, Lin Xinghe. They could participate in the knockout matches together, and from then on, they would be invincible and reach the peak of life!


    He had the intention to win over Lin Xinghe, but now that he and Lin Xinghe were alone, both of them were very silent.


    Fu Zhou found that he couldn¡¯t start up a conversation. Unlike him and Jiuge, who had known each other for a long time and had a certain understanding of each others¡¯ temperaments, Lin Xinghe was a girl.


    However, Fu Zhou soon found a common interest they shared.


    They all had mounts.


    Although he was reluctant to admit that Xiao Xue Ji, a pet cat, was a mount, for Lin Xinghe''s sake, he was willing to admit its status as one.


    Fu Zhou coughed lightly and said lightly, "I bought my Leiting with 8,000 points. Without it, I would have been an S-class student long ago."


    "My Leiting once killed eight demons and brought me out of a sea of


    blood. In that battle, Leiting''s prestige was firmly cemented in the minds of the students."


    "Because you came up with good ideas, from now on, your Xiao Xue Ji will be my Leiting¡¯s buddy! My Leiting will not ever let Xiao Xue Ji be hurt!"


    ¡¾Lmfao! Fu Zhou is such a straight man**! ¡¿


    ¡¾When he was talking to Jiuge before, I thought he was handsome! That kind of casual laziness really appeals to me! How could he be so stupid when dealing with girls! ¡¿


    ¡¾Fu Zhou has an arrogant personality, this is the first time I know about it! It was written all over his face that he wanted to win over Lin Xinghe, but he sounded like he was bragging.¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahaha Fu Zhou doesn''t know how to talk to girls? ¡¿


    ¡¾Embarrassment warning! Fu Zhou is really as straight as steel hahahahahaha. ¡¿


    Fu Zhou still chatted with Lin Xinghe about their mounts, rambling the whole time. They happened to bump into a ligui that had been escaping. He held a barrier to block it. Later, he found that ligui was too busy running away to attack them. It rapidly escaped, just like a mouse would scamper away from a housecat. Fu Zhou let the barrier go and continued to ramble.


    When they arrived at the back kitchen of the western restaurant, Lin Xinghe found Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji was transformed into a green snake, coiled up on one of the counters. Beside her was a slightly larger green snake, but it curled beside her and occasionally raised its jaw to touch the back of Xiao Xue Ji''s head.


    Seeing this scene, Fu Zhou''s jaw hit the floor.


    The livestream chat was roaring in laughter.


    ¡¾As we all know, this is the courtship performance of male snakes. ¡¿


    ¡¾Fu Zhou: Child of mine! Why don¡¯t you show off! Your father just bragged about you all the way, and in a blink of an eye, you are begging to court! Her daughter! Wake up! That''s a cat! ¡¿


    ¡¾I''m going to die of laughter hahahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾Fu Zhou looks like he is about to faint! It''s too sad. ¡¿


    ¡¾Xiao Xue Ji: Different species. Don¡¯t disturb me. ¡¿


    ¡¾Leiting: I will never love again. ¡¿


    TL Notes:


    **Straight man has two meanings: straight as in heterosexual, and straight as in straightforward.

 CH 32.4

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 32.4


    Leiting tried to slither onto Xiao Xue Ji''s body, but Xiao Xue Ji shook her head and pushed him away. She fiercely spat in the snake language and made a hissing sound.


    At this time, Xiao Xue Ji realized Lin Xinghe was there. She immediately turned back into a ragdoll cat and jumped into Lin Xinghe''s arms.


    The green snake on the counter stared blankly at the cat in Lin Xinghe''s arms.


    Leiting didn''t seem to believe that Xiao Xue Ji wasn¡¯t a snake, so he leaned over and to sniff Xiao Xue Ji. Before his head could touch Xiao Xue Ji, his master put him back in his storage ring.***


    Fu Zhou wanted to explain something to Lin Xinghe, but a burst of grief suddenly bloomed in his heart.


    Fu Zhou signed a contract with Leiting and could telepathically communicate with it. Now that he felt his grief, he was suddenly speechless.


    ...What an idiot.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t know much about snakes, so she naturally didn''t know that Leiting was initiating a male snake''s courtship.


    Of course, Xiao Xue Ji, who was not a snake, didn''t know either. She was simply imitating a snake.


    Therefore, both Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji ignored Fu Zhou and Leiting''s abnormal behavior.


    Lin Xinghe touched Xiao Xue Ji''s head, and her eyes fell on the corpse of the passenger NPC on the ground.


    Judging from the wound, it was suicide and not homicide.


    Lin Xinghe felt a sudden despair.


    But the matter had already come to this point, it was useless to think too much.


    She was silent for a moment and squatted down to clean the corpse¡¯s wound, remove the kitchen knife, wipe away the blood on her face and hair with clean water, and sort her messy clothes.


    A cruise ticket fell out of her clothes, and her name was written on it¡ªLing Xiran.


    She tore up her ticket and threw the scraps into the wind.


    For these returning passengers, this ticket was probably the nightmare they couldn¡¯t escape in their entire lives.


    At that time, she told Xiao Xue Ji, "Transform into a lion."


    Xiao Xue Ji obediently turned into a lion.


    Fu Zhou''s heart filled with grief again.


    Lin Xinghe raised her arm and Fu Zhou asked, "What are you doing?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "We¡¯ll put her in a room and then send her back to land after we come back."


    Fu Zhou said, "I''ll help."


    Fu Zhou''s strength was stronger than Lin Xinghe¡¯s, so he moved Ling Xiran''s body onto Xiao Xue Ji''s back. The closer he got to Xiao Xue Ji, the more varied his inner emotions became. He was still distraught before, but now he felt his heartbeat speed up. He would feel alternatingly sad and happy, which completely overwhelmed him.


    Fu Zhou, who had never been in love, never thought that one day he would be able to feel the beginning of a young man''s love, so clear, so pure, standing proudly in his heart.


    Lin Xinghe found a nearby room, placed Ling Xiran''s body in it, and asked Fu Zhou, "Can you help set up a barrier that doesn''t let ghosts come in? I can reward you."


    Setting up a barrier was a mentally draining thing.


    However, Fu Zhou wanted to form a team with Lin Xinghe, and naturally he would not be paid for this type of thing that could win her over.


    He said cheerfully, "You don''t need to pay, let¡¯s just be friends, me and my Leiting..." Fu Zhou proudly mentioned his child before, but now, he changed his words, "If something happens in the future, you can count on me."


    Fu Zhou was about to set up an enchantment, but there was movement in the storage ring.


    Leiting wanted to come out.


    Fu Zhou had to let it out.


    As soon as it came out, it coiled up near Ling Xiran. The always majestic and mighty giant snake rarely behaved nicely. It even rubbed the back of Lin Xinghe''s hand like a cat.


    Fu Zhou:  ¡­


    Lin Xinghe said, "Your Leiting is quite good."


    Originally, the mount was very spiritual. Although it didn''t understand human language, it was very close to cultivating into a human and could read people¡¯s tones. Hearing Lin Xinghe''s praise, he danced a snake dance for Lin Xinghe on the spot.


    Fu Zhou:  ¡­


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Is it trying to say something to me?"


    Fu Zhou replied, "It said that it can stay here and guard her."


    Lin Xinghe knew that the ligui had been cleaned up by the classmates outside, so she didn''t need to worry about that. With Fu Zhou''s mount standing guard, no one could do anything to Ling Xiran''s corpse.


    She reached out to pat Leiting''s head and said, "Thank you."


    Xiao Xue Ji meowed at it.


    Fu Zhou''s heart filled with the feeling of ecstatic fireworks blooming.


    A straight man who has never been in a relationship had just experienced emotions ranging from brokenhearted to heart-pounding to crying with joy over and over in just half an hour, as if he had a crush on a cloud.


    After feeling it, Fu Zhou was a little angry.


    ...Was this the behavior of the cub who has forgotten his father when he has found a wife? To go up eagerly and please his future mother-in-law?


    ¡¾Hahahahahahaha I never thought that one day I would actually watch a snake fall in love with a cat during a livestream. ¡¿


    ¡¾Correct, it''s Green Snake¡¯s secret crush. ¡¿


    ¡¾That snake dance almost made me die of laughter hahahahaha¡¿


    ¡¾Why is the style of this anchor''s livestream so peculiar! I just wanted to praise the anchor for being smart, but in a blink of an eye, Fu Zhou''s Leiting made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair. ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe seems to be completely unaware that her daughter is being pursued. ¡¿


    ¡¾Leiting: Plan to court Xiao Xue Ji, get the mother-in-law¡¯s approval first! ¡¿

 CH 33.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 33.1


    After Lin Xinghe handed over the task to Leiting, she prepared to leave the room with Xiao Xue Ji.


    She said, "I''m going to find Ling Xiran."


    Fu Zhou said, "Go find her. I have some words to exchange with Leiting first, and I¡¯ll catch up to you later. Is it ok for you to go by yourself?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "The ligui outside have pretty much all been captured, and I have nothing to be afraid of when I meet them..."


    Fu Zhou remembered Lin Xinghe''s amazing 100% dodging buff when they were in the bridge and said, "Okay, then you go first..." However, before he finished speaking, an inexplicable worry filled his heart.


    He turned his head to look at Leiting with a blank expression.


    Leiting swayed in place.


    Fu Zhou:  ¡­


    However, if his cub was worried, Fu Zhou had no choice but to change his mind and said, "I actually have nothing to say to it, so I will accompany you to find Ling Xiran."


    Leiting nodded frantically, and covertly glanced at Xiao Xue Ji, as if he wereafraid of being discovered. He would take a glance quickly and hurriedly retract his gaze, swaying his body as if nothing had happened.


    Fu Zhou: ...There is a stupid comment that I don''t know if I should even bother saying.


    Fu Zhou didn''t want to watch Leiting embarrass himself anymore and left with Lin Xinghe.


    When the door closed, Lin Xinghe saw Ling Xiran.


    Her head drooped and she hovered quietly by the wall. Her body was much more transparent than the ligui¡ª a wisp of barely-there blue, liable to dissipate at any time.


    Lin Xinghe whisper-shouted, "Ling Xiran?"


    Ling Xiran raised her head and looked at Lin Xinghe faintly.


    Lin Xinghe originally wanted to tell her that she could have been saved if she had waited just a little longer. But looking at her, she felt that the words were too hurtful.


    She changed her mind and said, "I put your body in this room, and when the boat docks, I''ll send your body back..." She paused, thinking about the structure of the test, the ship would dock at the end of the test, so it would be impossible for her to arrange to send Ling Xiran back then. She continued, "Or when the ligui are almost cleaned up and there is no more threat, I will arrange for your transportation."


    Ling Xiran finally opened her mouth and whispered, "Thank you."


    Lin Xinghe had a general understanding of what kind of personality the girl in front of her had, and with a heart-to-heart smile, she said, "Let¡¯s find a place to talk?"


    Ling Xiran looked at her sadly and stuttered: "I... I''m useless, I can''t do anything, I''m the weakest ghost ever... I can''t even avenge myself, I... I have nothing to help you with."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Sister, don''t look down on yourself. Everyone has infinite potential¡ªyou may not have tapped your hidden potential yet. Come on, let''s sit down and have a good chat..."


    Lin Xinghe wanted to go to tug at Ling Xiran but stopped, realizing that she couldn¡¯t touch the ghost. Lin Xinghe reentered the room they had been in.


    Fu Zhou went in with her.


    As soon as Ling Xiran entered the room, she saw her body and a huge green snake beside it.


    The green snake seemed to have some spiritual cultivation. It looked fierce, but it was obedient and cute at the moment. It even revealed a little bit of naivete and swayed its snake body happily.


    Originally, Ling Xiran felt a little sad when she saw her corpse, but when she saw this silly snake, she suddenly felt less sad.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Sister, do you have any wishes?"


    Ling Xiran said in a daze, "I''m still a college student¡ª I''ll graduate next year. Over the last summer vacation, I went on a cruise with my friends, but I didn''t expect to be trapped here. My friend died much earlier during one of the massacres¡­¡± Ling Xiran¡¯s nose stung, and she said, "I miss my dad, I miss my mom, and I want to see them again. They diligently raised me, and I died here before I could pay them back... ...I feel so bad about everything."


    Ling Xiran covered her face and started to cry.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Don''t cry, your death doesn''t mean the end of your life! You can still survive in the form of a spirit, and anything in the future is possible. Don''t be shackled by thinking that if you die, you will have nothing and your life will end. You are weak now, but that doesn¡¯t mean that you will be weak in the future. As long as you are strong to a certain extent, nothing is impossible..."


    Lin Xinghe''s voice became gentle but firm.


    "...This journey is different. We have changed this whole voyage¡ª the massacre of the ghosts no longer exists, and now it is them who are slaughtered. Although you are a new ghost and don¡¯t have much power yet, you can learn and become stronger. No one is born strong. My classmates and I will not stay in this boat forever. After this matter is solved, our task will be completed, and we will leave. This ship will be controlled by you in the end!


    ¡°...Sister, do you know what kind of life you can live when you control this ship? I don¡¯t know why it cycles over and over again, but when we get rid of all the evil spirits, this will be a ship that can lay golden eggs. It doesn¡¯t consume fuel, and the restaurants don¡¯t need food refills. You don''t need to work, you can live on a luxurious cruise ship. When you learn to manipulate objects, you can play with your mobile phone and computer as well. Other humans are working overtime, but you can live out your best life on this cruise ship, and you can still sit and count your money. Don¡¯t you want to live like this? You can also repay your parents!


    ...I have calculated that, for each 2-week journey, you will make about 4 million yuan. The ship can carry four hundred passengers: 8,000 yuan for an interior cabin and 11,000 for a balcony room. Adding on tips, catering, and entertainment fees, you can make 8 million in a month! The employees on the cruise ship are all ghosts, so they don¡¯t need to be paid. Even by robbing a bank, you can¡¯t make 8 million a month!¡±


    Ling Xiran was stunned when she heard this huge amount.


    Fu Zhou was also stunned.


    ...A reincarnating cruise ship could also be used like this?

 CH 33.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 33.2


    Lin Xinghe said again: "Eight million a month, you can buy a small house for your parents in a first-tier city, right? With a year¡¯s worth of income, you can buy ten villas all over the country. Ask your parents to find a reliable intermediary, and they will be able to live the peak of their lives by collecting rent every month!"


    Lin Xinghe: "Sister, do you want to live your life like this?"


    "I want to!"


    "I also want to..."


    Ling Xiran and Fu Zhou answered Lin Xinghe''s question in unison and simultaneously looked at each other. Fu Zhou turned his head away awkwardly, and 10,000 alpacas ran inside his heart.


    Fu Zhou¡¯s before-novel had been set in a xianxia world,


    But compared to the days of lying and counting money on the cruise, the days of earning points in school were as different as the skies and the seas.


    Fu Zhou didn''t want to work hard. He just wanted to eat a lot and await death with his Leiting on the cruise.


    He was only thinking about it in his heart, but when Lin Xinghe asked, her loud and impassioned tone completely affected him, making him feel that he didn''t deserve to be a person if he didn¡¯t shout "I want to!"


    But his pride and self-respect didn''t allow him to do this, so he said lightly, "I''m thinking about it", so that compared to Ling Xiran''s energetic "thinking,¡± Fu Zhou felt that he had lost.


    He quickly realized that he couldn''t compete with Ling Xiran, and he would leave the exam room as soon as the exam was over.


    In order to save his face, he looked at Leiting and scolded, ¡°Leiting, you can''t live this kind of arrogant and extravagant life, ¡®you¡¯re thinking about it,¡¯ hah, you think so beautifully."


    Leiting, who couldn¡¯t speak human:...


    "Hey¡­ I didn¡¯t! Xiao Xue Ji, I am not that kind of snake! I''m a down-to-earth snake!¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji glanced at it lazily.


    "Meow..."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t talk to Fu Zhou, pretending she didn''t hear what he said, and said to Ling Xiran, "Do you want to?"


    "I do!"


    This time, Ling Xiran was even more certain!


    She didn''t expect to have a different ghost life after her tragic death. As long as she didn¡¯t give up, anything was possible! She shouted loudly: "Yes! I want to live like this! You teach me, and I''ll do anything for you!"


    Ling Xiran was not stupid either. She knew that the girl in front of her would not help her for no good reason, but she was still grateful that she was willing to help her in exchange for something.


    "I can do anything," she said.


    ¡¾Hahahahahaha this scene seems familiar? ¡¿


    ¡¾the Snow Maiden: Sister, this is a MLM chief, don''t listen to her. ¡¿


    ¡¾WTF, I think the sect leader is really talented hahahahaha¡­ who doesn''t want to eat, drink and have fun on a cruise ship with a monthly income of 8 million! ¡¿


    ¡¾No way, Reincarnating cruises can have this kind of development? ¡¿


    ¡¾Lmfaoooo, the sect leader is also very business-minded! I figured it out, it''s really zero cost, as long as you can control the ghosts on the cruise, you really don''t need to pay wages. You can float on the sea all day long and collect the ticket prices.¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m actually starting to envy Ling Xiran, the scene painted by the sect leader is so beautiful. Who can resist the temptation of money? Resentment from a dog who worked overtime in 1997. The stupid protagonist of a boss forced me to work almost 60 hours a week, so I angrily seduced his wife! I just said, I don¡¯t want to work hard anymore, sister, and I have lived a short and happy life since then! ¡¿


    ¡¾uwu, I am also envious of her. If I could live such a life, why would I bother being a villain? I could invite the protagonist¡¯s whole family to dinner every day!¡¿


    ¡¾You are all envious of Ling Xiran, am I the only one watching the interaction between Leiting and Xiao Xue Ji? Stupid, simple, honest snake and sweet, glamorous, chilly cat, what a beautiful CP! I ship! I ship to the grave! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ling Xiran and the Snow Maiden were still quite different¡­ The Snow Maiden was the big boss, and Ling Xiran is just a new ghost! ¡¿


    ¡¾Believe in the sect leader! To live forever! ¡¿

 CH 34.1

    Ling Xiran said solemnly, ¡°Sister, I can endure hardships very well, and no matter how hard or tired I am, I will definitely persevere.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked her, ¡°What items can you control now?¡±


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°I can only move small items slightly and without the control that the ligui have.¡±


    Seeing Ling Xiran¡¯s nervousness, Lin Xinghe suddenly asked her, ¡°Have you ever played online games?¡±


    Ling Xiran was a little surprised by this question, nodded honestly, and said, ¡°In the first year of college, I played a martial arts romance game with my roommate for a whole year.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°From now on, you will treat me as the NPC who issues the quest, and you are the player who participates in the game. Next, you will accept my quest.¡±


    After Lin Xinghe said this, Ling Xiran really wasn¡¯t so nervous anymore.


    The existence of the reincarnating cruise ship was very absurd, and her body lay on the bed a few feet away from her. The existence of this group of strange people who stopped the massacres made Ling Xiran feel as if she actually were in a strange game. Here, the despair and sadness she felt from her death and fear were diluted.


    She said, ¡°Okay!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°In order to test your aptitude and get the chance to reach the pinnacle of your life, you must pass the beginner quest. You are the child of destiny in my prophecies, and I will send my divine beast to escort you. Maiden, go avenge yourself and kill that man. Please choose your weapon: A, fruit knife; B, scissors.¡±


    Ling Xiran felt the game atmosphere even more at this time and said without hesitation, ¡°Scissors.¡±


    Lin Xinghe took the scissors in the room and asked Xiao Xue Ji to turn back into a mighty lion, placing the scissors in her mouth. She said to Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°Go, Xiao Xue Ji, guard this child of destiny and help her complete her mission.¡±


    After speaking, she said to Ling Xiran, ¡°After completing the task, come to the bridge to find me, and I will give you the rewards of the novice task as well as the intel for the next task.¡±


    Ling Xiran and Xiao Xue Ji left together.


    Lin Xinghe and Fu Zhou were left in the room with the green snake guardian.


    Fu Zhou witnessed the whole scene, and his brain was full of question marks.


    ¡­How could it be?


    Although he knew that Lin Xinghe was very lucky and had a smart brain, was she serious about letting a ghost control the cruise ship? Was her brain really functioning right?


    Just after thinking about this, Leiting protested, thinking something that could be vaguely interpreted as ¡°Don¡¯t say my mother-in-law¡¯s brain doesn¡¯t work.¡±


    Fu Zhou used to treat Leiting as a treasure, and when Leiting¡¯s emotions fluctuated, Fu Zhou had to carefully reflect on whether he was doing something wrong. Now, he completely ignored the emotions of this traitor who got a wife and forgot his father and calmly said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Ling Xiran is just a mortal, an ordinary female college student who has become an ordinary ghost. How can she control the cruise ship if she can¡¯t even wield a fruit knife?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him and said, ¡°Two syllables: ¡®cheat¡¯ and ¡®-ing.¡¯¡±


    Seeing that Fu Zhou didn¡¯t reply, Lin Xinghe said thoughtfully again, ¡°You are from the xianxia department, so do you know what cheating means?*¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°Of course I know, I have been to many exam rooms.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡¯m Ling Xiran¡¯s cheat.¡±


    Fu Zhou choked. If it had been anyone else, he might have refuted it. If it were a big guy like Xie Wuan, he would still think it was possible. After all, Xie Wuan has been to too many exam rooms. If it weren¡¯t for his shopping addiction, he might have already reached the SSS-tier or graduated a long time ago. His space was full of magic weapons and cultivating methods. But no matter how clever Lin Xinghe was, letting a new ghost control the cruise ship sounded like a wild goose chase.


    ¡­ However, considering Lin Xinghe¡¯s amazing luck, Fu Zhou asked cautiously, ¡°What are you going to do?¡±


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I can¡¯t say it, or else the livestream audience might stop watching¡­ I want to get as many points as possible as a newcomer, and if I reveal my plans, people might become disinterested in my stream.¡±


    Fu Zhou:  ¡­


    ¡¾Damn, Lin Xinghe is selling out! ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m so amused and curious. How will the sect leader wipe the field with her saucy behavior this time? ¡¿


    ¡¾Was the sect leader in marketing in her before-novel? ¡¿


    ¡¾No, our sect leader was an act-*wheeze*-ress*cough* *choke* *dies of laughter*¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯ll watch, watch, watch! Stay in her livestream 24/7! Make her popular! Keep it on while you sleep!¡¿


    ¡¾Next time I enter the exam room, I will no longer foolishly explain my inner thoughts to the audience! ¡¿


    ¡¾The commenter on top is so silly ahahaha¡­ You still have time to explain your inner thoughts during dangerous scenarios? ¡¿


    ¡¾owo yup, I¡¯m afraid the audience won¡¯t understand my motives. Sure enough, my livestreams are barely watched. I have learned a lot from the sect leader!!!¡¿

 CH 34.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 34.2


    The ligui had mostly all been captured, and only a dozen or so were hiding in the corners of the cruise.


    By this time, it was already twelve thirty in the middle of the night.


    The ligui were once again imprisoned on the deck, guarded by twenty or so student spirits.


    The students in the test room were united like never before, and the small teams that were originally scattered have also gathered together. Most of the highly defensive ones were guarding the spirits¡¯ bodies, just in case.


    Of course, not all the students were there, and a small number of outcasts, including Li Jun, were scattered around the cruise ship.


    Li Jun actually had many lackeys in school.


    As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and Li Jun''s style attracted many students in the school, but their abilities were not particularly outstanding. In the face of stronger people, they naturally didn¡¯t dare to be too arrogant. Li Jun was considered to be one of the stronger villains in those circles.


    There were also divisions in the fantasy department: those who were born with magic power and those with late-awakening abilities. Li Jun was the villain in a modern superhumans novel with a late-awakening lightning ability.


    The element of lightning was very powerful in of itself. With it, Li Jun hardly encountered any difficulties in the examination room and also attracted many students seeking protection.


    However, Li Jun was a bit unlucky in this examination room. Nobody in his group of friends was here. Moreover, after witnessing Lin Xinghe¡¯s exposition of his atrocious actions, many students considered Li Jun a bad potential teammate. If he couldn¡¯t even control his own desires, what could he do?


    There were also some people who thought that he did not respect women and was disgusting to the extreme.


    There were also people who found him to be unreliable, what with his past being spotted with misdeeds. Who would dare to trust him?


    Therefore, all this caused Li Jun''s "exclusion.¡±


    The only student who stood with him was an ordinary student without any ability.


    During the few hours when the ligui ran rampant, Li Jun was bullied badly. Later, he learned how to attack them, so was there any reason not to bully them back? But he was also worried about his own safety, so he didn''t take any action. After being chased and beaten by students, ninety percent of the ligui were imprisoned on the deck, and the remaining ten percent fled, not daring to meet the students face to face.


    It was impossible for Li Jun to control his temper.


    So he chose to astral project at this time. He placed his body in a safe room, and just in case, he also created a temporary defensive cover to resist those idiot ligui¡¯s physical attacks.


    Li Jun went on a killing rampage.


    Several modern students and one ancient student sat in the safe room around Li Jun''s body.


    They muttered and groaned.


    One of the girls said, "I¡¯m quite conflicted. On the one hand, I want Li Jun to beat the ligui, and on the other hand, I don''t want him to win."


    "It''s better if both kill each other and die together?"


    "Yeah."


    "I understand you. If he wins, he will definitely take advantage of me or maybe more than that. He touched my butt just before he astral projected, but I endured it."


    "Yes, if we lose, we might fall into the ligui''s hands, so it''s better as men..."


    "He looks down on those who are weaker than him. In fact, our situation is not much better than yours, and we still have to endure so much humiliation."


    ...


    And at this time, they saw a ghost pass through the door and appear in front of them.


    Ling Xiran felt a little cowardly when she saw so many people, but when she remembered that Lin Xinghe talked like it was all a game quest, she was not cowardly anymore.


    She hissed coldly, "Leave if you don''t want to die. This ghost only wants his life."


    Saying that, she flicked the light switch and turned off the lights in the room.


    The room instantly went dark.


    Ling Xiran laboriously controlled a cup that flew into the air wobbling like the path of a roller coaster and tremblingly brought it in front of the students. With a bang, the cup shattered on the ground, and the sound was very crisp in the pitch-black room.


    The students were frightened.


    Ling Xiran raised her voice louder than she had ever done in her life and roared, "Get out."


    They fled, and when they saw the lion lounging outside, they were so frightened that they lost control of their bowel functions.


    Xiao Xue Ji gracefully pranced in, turned on the light with a graceful paw, and closed the door with a bang.


    Xiao Xue Ji let go of the scissors in her mouth, and they fell to the ground.


    Ling Xiran controlled the scissors and directed them towards Li Jun on the bed.


    However, at this moment, she thought of something¡ª instead of stabbing Li Jun''s heart directly, she chose to peel off Li Jun''s pants.


    At first, Ling Xiran looked timid, but seeing Li Jun¡¯s prone form, her timidity disappeared and was replaced by resentment.


    At this moment, she felt her power grow stronger.


    Her scissors stabbed Li Jun''s crotch.


    All the male compatriots watching Li Jun''s livestream suddenly felt sympathy pain down there.


    Blood stained the scissors.


    Ling Xiran didn''t stop at one stab. She stabbed holes everywhere that could be stabbed and snipped up the remaining flesh into a bloody pulp.


    Finally, she stabbed Li Jun in the chest.

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 35.1


    In addition to the audience in Li Jun''s livestream watching his castration, Lin Xinghe and Jiuge, as well as Fu Zhou, also watched the whole process.


    A miniature security camera that Lin Xinghe temporarily removed from the cruise ship dangled from Xiao Xue Ji''s neck, inconspicuous under her gigantic body and furry mane.*


    "...You can¡¯t judge a book by its cover." Fu Zhou sighed.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Actually, it''s not very surprising. Think about it from another angle. Someone rapes you and you can''t resist because of the disparity in your strength. When you finally have a chance to get your revenge, wouldn¡¯t you ¡®confiscate the other party''s tools¡¯ for committing such crimes? If she has the courage to commit suicide with a kitchen knife, she has enough courage to kill the opponent with a knife... After all, when she realized he could wield lightning, she knew that there was no hope of fighting back, so she slit her neck with a knife..."


    She looked at Fu Zhou and Jiuge and said, "Did you know? It takes courage to commit suicide with a kitchen knife. Many people choose to cut their wrists, jump off a building or hang themselves, because those are as easy as opening and closing their eyes. On the other hand, with a kitchen knife, if you don''t cut the right place, you have to slice your neck more¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, "Look, she even cried when she was stabbed in the back. This crying is actually very complicated¡ªboth for herself, and for the enemy she killed. It¡¯s not her pure, maidenly heart who has pity for the enemy, but rather a human heart knowing that she just strayed away from the good and into the bad. She will never be able to go back. I didn¡¯t just choose her randomly¡ªa powerless female college student who endured for two cycles under the slaughter of ligui and mysterious beasts? It proves that she has extraordinary qualities¡ªa good seedling worth cultivating..."


    Ling Xiran had completed her mission and approached the bridge with Xiao Xue Ji.


    Lin Xinghe said no more, put on a mask of solemnity, and continued to be the emotionless task-giving NPC.


    Jiuge let Ling Xiran in.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Maiden, you have passed the review, please receive your quest reward. Next, your second quest is to kill your enemy again, devour his soul, and grow in power."


    Fu Zhou paid more attention than Ling Xiran did to what the quest reward was.


    He imperceptibly craned his head forward and saw Lin Xinghe taking out her phone. She turned it on and opened the notes app, but Fu Zhou couldn''t see any of the words on it.


    Lin Xinghe said solemnly to Ling Xiran, "This is the first book of ¡®The Secret Chronicles of Ghost Cultivation.¡¯ After learning the material, please display your skills."


    "Understood."


    Ling Xiran took the heavy tome of information and floated out of the room.


    After Ling Xiran left, Fu Zhou asked, "Where did you get that manual?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I read the Interplane Mall catalog for a long time just now and saw some ghost cultivation manuals that no one cares about. I bought it for a few dozen points, but I¡¯m not a ghost, so I can¡¯t use it. No one probably actually buys this..."


    "Yes, nobody wastes dozens of points on NPCs."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "I regard these points as an investment¡ªhigh risk, high reward. As for Ling Xiran, well, she has such an opportunity, it depends on her to make the best of it."


    A crash course on Ghost Cultivation¡ªit was the crooked way.


    It relied on devouring ligui to enhance one¡¯s own strength. The more resentful the ghost, the better the effect after devouring it. It could turn a noob into a super king in a very short period of time, but nothing in the world came for free. There were benefits and shortcomings to this method. Using it caused pain that ordinary people could not bear. Under the influence of such pain, it was easy for ligui to become heartless, bloodthirsty demons.


    The cultivation manual exaggerated the method¡¯s benefits. Lin Xinghe read it several times before she discovered the traps it hid in its word choice, such as the worst aftereffects of cultivation.


    In the first part of the cultivation tome, the advantages and disadvantages of cultivating this method were clearly written.


    The right to choose lay with Ling Xiran herself.


    Ling Xiran didn''t have a better choice now. She stabbed Li Jun, that reality was impossible to ignore. Either he died or she died.


    Ling Xiran was willing to pay any price.


    While Ling Xiran was cultivating, Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t dare to rest either. She had not slept for twenty-four hours, and most of the candidates present were in the same situation. It was past two AM, and many of them were drowsy but couldn''t sleep.


    Although most of the ligui had already been captured, there were still a few on the loose, and the second round of the massacre had yet to come.


    Everyone immediately noticed the staggering difficulty of this exam room.


    Although most of the ligui were now imprisoned on the deck, the candidates did not feel that they had seen the light of victory.


    After all, the test question was not to survive two rounds of massacres, but to find an alpine rimerose.


    No one had any clue what that was.


    ¡°What the hell is an alpine rimerose? I just interrogated a ligui over there, and she said she didn''t know.¡±


    ¡°The most frustrating thing is even the telekinetic students said the ligui really didn''t know anything about alpine rimeroses.


    ¡®The cruise ship was just called The Alpine Rimerose. That''s what it was called from the beginning. It''s just the name of a ship and didn¡¯t have any special meaning.¡¯¡±


    "Damn, this group of ligui bullied this one before, and my arm was almost scrapped. Why can''t I kill them now¡­ I''m just afraid that the clues are on them, it''s too damn bad..."


    "I''m so sleepy, but I can''t sleep. These ligui are full of bad intentions, and they may kill us at any time."


    "I''m more worried about my body. Hopefully my team can keep a good watch over it."


    "When will this exam end..."


    ...

 CH 35.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 35.2


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe appeared on the deck.


    This is also the first time most people saw Lin Xinghe.


    Her facial features were exquisitely delicate, her skin pale and fair, and her temperament looked gentle and sweet. Overall, she seemed like a well-behaved and harmless little girl, especially with her sparkling almond-shaped eyes and arching eyebrows.


    However, when she appeared, everyone present shut their mouths.


    It wasn''t that Lin Xinghe''s attitude was stunning, but her appearance was very well-organized.


    Behind her were Rudolph, one of top dogs of the fantasy department, and Fu Zhou, a senior in the xianxia department, as well as a mighty lion.


    She stood in the C position like the luminous moon in the midst of twinkling stars.


    Even though she didn''t speak, everyone knew that she was Lin Xinghe.


    Although she was wearing a cyan bracelet, Lin Xinghe was a great hero in today''s battle against the ligui, and no one dared to underestimate her.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the ligui and asked the candidates, "Does anyone know how to drive a cruise ship?"


    After Lin Xinghe asked this question, everyone remembered.


    The cruise had been sailing for more than an hour when the entire crew of the ship had become ligui. Without the captain to pilot the ship, it would stay in place.


    At this time, the sea surrounding the ship was pitch black.


    There was no moonlight in the night sky, and the cruise ship emanated the only weak rays of light, as if isolated from the world.


    Someone raised their hand and said, "I can."


    "Very good, then you can sail the boat," Lin Xinghe said with a smile, "You don''t need to sail anywhere, just turn back and navigate to the docks."


    As soon as she finished speaking, the ligui Captain''s expression changed, and he shouted, "No one is allowed to touch my ship! This is my ship!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s not your ship. Strictly speaking, you are just the hired captain. This is the ship of the owner of the Alpine Rimerose. Now, we have occupied this ship, so we¡¯re in command."


    She smiled and said, "If you don¡¯t admit defeat, come and fight me"


    The ligui suddenly floated up and rushed towards Lin Xinghe.


    The other ligui immediately rioted and tried their best to break through the cages like bulls, butting their cages with their bodies.


    The fantasy department students had to reinforce the cage again.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe smiled and said, "I wasn''t sure at first, but now, I don''t even need an experiment to confirm it." She glanced at the ligui again and said, "Tell me, who has the right to make decisions for the whole group? Is it you, Captain?"


    The captain said, "Yes."


    Lin Xinghe said, "We can also not turn the ship around, provided that you are willing to sign the "Alpine Rimerose Treaty" with us. I will read aloud the specific parameters of the treaty. First, don''t hurt any of the living people on the cruise ship. Second, perform your normal duties. Third, cooperate with our investigation. In exchange, we will release you from these restraints. "


    The captain asked, "What consists of normal duties?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Aren''t you the cruise staff? We bought the tickets with real money. When one goes aboard a cruise ship, they can enjoy all the services the ship provides. It¡¯s not like we paid so much money to come see the sea¡­"


    The captain said, "You still want us to serve you?"


    Lin Xinghe said: "It''s not about serving, it''s about service.* Of course, you can also choose not to sign this contract, but I hope you can think about the consequences. We will bring the cruise back to shore, and you will lose far more than you have now. I also hope that you can understand that we are not negotiating on equal terms. You are in a weak position, and I am giving you a chance to live a more comfortable life. If you don''t appreciate it, what can we do?"


    The captain looked at the companions around him and gritted his teeth, "Okay, I''ll sign."


    Lin Xinghe asked Jiuge to extend a copy of the contract on paper as well as a pen with his hair to the captain. He floated the pen and scrawled an illegible signature on the contract.


    Some people asked, "What does she mean by bringing the cruise back to shore would make them lose more than they already have?"


    Others asked, "What if they attack us again?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "The battle is won and the prisoners are imprisoned. The best way is to use them to our own benefit. I already know their biggest and most fatal weakness. I¡¯m also willing to share the information I know with you¡ªit''s not that they become ligui after nightfall, but the farther they are from land, the stronger their strength. When they leave the sights of the land, they will instantly expand their power and become ligui."


    When the captain said that only he could sail the boat, Lin Xinghe had become suspicious.


    Later, before nightfall, the staff on the cruise turned into ligui, which made Lin Xinghe speculate further.


    Just now, the excessive reactions of the captain and the other ligui confirmed her guess.


    Another asked, "Why don''t you just go back to the dock?"


    Before Lin Xinghe could say anything, another student chimed in, "What if there is a clue about the alpine rimeroses in the second round of massacres?"


    Lin Xinghe added, "When they were still ligui, there was no way to punish us. Now that we all know their weaknesses, why are we still afraid of them? Worst case scenario, we have to defeat them again and pilot the ship back to the docks. There are still six days until the next massacre is scheduled to happen. Don''t you want to sleep soundly these six days? Have a good vacation? Prepare for the next massacre in comfort?"


    ¡­Yes.


    ...Yes I do, in fact.


    -Said the hearts of the students


    At this time, Lin Xinghe suggested, "If you are still worried, you can split into two rounds to keep watch on the ligui at all times. If they break the contract, we will kill them immediately. Also, the clues are not necessarily on them, maybe they¡¯re just on the cruise ship. Better exploration of this cruise ship is the most important thing to do now.¡±


    The crowd was persuaded.


    The captain was forced to sign an unequal treaty, but there was no other way at this time.


    The fantasy department students opened the cage.


    The captain floated out first.

 CH 35.3

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 35.3


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s time for you to start your work. Repair the damaged things. When I open my eyes tomorrow, I want to see a magnificent cruise ship, not a ghost ship after a disaster..."


    Lin Xinghe commanded the captain, who was three times stronger than her, with peace of mind: "Tell the cooks to go to work and prepare tasty dishes and delicious drinks. Don''t think about poisoning the food¡ªyou should have seen our ability, we can tell if there is poison. The consequences will be more serious than anything you can come up with..."


    She said softly and sweetly, "I haven''t tried torturing such a big and tall giant ligui, but I really want to try it. I hope you don''t give me this chance."


    All the ligui shuddered, and even the students who had just thought that Lin Xinghe was harmless felt that they were blind. How could this girl be humane? She was clearly a perverted villain with a clever mind.


    As a result, under the leadership of Lin Xinghe, the examination room that was supposed to be gory and violent became harmonious and relaxed overnight.


    Waking up in the morning with a piping hot deluxe breakfast-in-bed service¡ª


    After breakfast, some people chose to explore the cruise, while others went for a swim in the pool. Many of the girls enjoyed the ligui spas, massages, facials, and manicures. In the afternoon, there were several rounds of ligui performances and parties. In the evening, an elegant banquet service turned into midnight clubbing!


    ¡¾...Omfg! Lin Xinghe always has the ability to turn the examination room into a resort! ¡¿


    ¡¾I am so impressed!!!!! I also want to share an exam room with Lin Xinghe. It isn¡¯t even just claiming an easy victory. I also want to relax on the studying and take a good vacation¡­¡¿


    ¡¾uwu that ligui''s shoulder and neck massage seems so comfortable, I want to have one too. ¡¿


    ¡¾I want to watch the ligui perform live! The one who plays the piano is really strong¡ªhe can play so well even by manipulating the keys from a distance! ¡¿


    ¡¾Big celebrations! I¡¯m actually starting to envy Ling Xiran. After all, with the help of the sect leader, she is about to reach the pinnacle of her life. In the future, these ligui will be her free labor. ¡¿


    ¡¾Do a ligui tour¡ªlots of money!¡¿


    ...


    At this time, Ling Xiran was fighting to the death with Li Jun.


    Li Jun wandered around for a while, but he didn''t find a single ghost. When he came back to the room, he saw his bloody body and a mutilated place. He couldn¡¯t believe what he saw.


    He found that his soul had been ejected out of his body and could not go back.


    And Ling Xiran was lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act.


    After a night of fighting, she officially devoured Li Jun''s soul.


    Heavily bruised and bleeding, she felt an inexplicable excitement in her soul, the adrenaline pumping so much she didn¡¯t even feel tired after a night of hard battle.


    She hiccuped, Li Jun probably not settling well in her stomach, and went to the bridge to find Lin Xinghe.


    Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was not Lin Xinghe, but the deputy captain of the cruise ship. Ling Xiran used to think that all the ligui on the cruise were terrible, but now she felt that the deputy captain smelled a little fragrant and sweet, which made her salivate.


    Without thinking about it, she opened her mouth and bit off one of the ligui¡¯s arms¡ªa full meal.


    The deputy captain felt unprecedented terror, especially after seeing the girl in front of him eating his arm. She licked her lips and stared at his other arm. His quick thinking saved him, as he thought that she was looking for the devil Lin Xinghe, so he pretended nothing had happened and said, "She''s in 8021."


    After he said that, he slammed the door shut.


    Ling Xiran felt a little bit bad about it, but she put it out of her mind and float-ran to 8021 to claim her quest rewards.


    Lin Xinghe was sleeping.


    Xiao Xue Ji was in cat form, curled up at the side of her pillow.


    Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and opened her bottle-blue eyes vigilantly.


    She meowed.


    Lin Xinghe yawned and opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw an excited girl floating in the air, calling to her "Master, the cultivation manual you gave me is very useful, I swallowed Li Jun! It feels like I have become stronger!"


    Lin Xinghe was still half-asleep and didn¡¯t register that she had apparently become someone else''s master. She just said, "You did a great job."


    "Thank you for your compliment, Master! What''s my next mission?"


    Lin Xinghe gave Ling Xiran the second part of ¡°The Secret Chronicles of Ghost Cultivation¡±, yawned again, and instructed her, "We signed a treaty with the ligui on board, and now they serve us..." She glanced at Ling Xiran and said, "Don''t hurt them for now."


    Ling Xiran remembered the delicious arm she had just swallowed, blinked, and said, "But I was just hungry and ate one of the deputy captain''s arms."


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s alright, you didn''t know better. You already ate it, and what''s wrong with eating an arm? Just be careful next time."


    Ling Xiran bobbed her head like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay! I''ll listen to Master!"


    ¡¾...Sorry, I somehow feel that Lin Xinghe and Ling Xiran have a sense of CP.* ¡¿


    ¡¾Master-apprentice=beautiful CP, I love it! I''m coming out of yuri Fire Maiden/Snow Maiden CP! ¡¿


    ¡¾Twisted, dark-bellied, sweet master vs innocent, ignorant, explosively-strong apprentice! I love it too! ¡¿


    ¡¾Taking away the sect leader! Don''t randomly ship the sect leader! Our sect leader is beautiful alone! ¡¿


    Gu Taoyao also thought that Lin Xinghe had a versatile personality. She seemed to have a sense of CP with everyone, even Jiuge and Fu Zhou.


    Gu Taoyao actually wanted to back a CP, but there were too many CPs to choose from, and she didn''t know which one to choose.


    And at this time, Gu Taoyao found out that the playboy of the xianxia department was starting to give Lin Xinghe a lot of money again.


    Xie Wuan rewarded the anchor Lin Xinghe with a deep-water torpedo.


    Xie Wuan rewarded the anchor Lin Xinghe with a diving bomb.


    Xie Wuan rewarded the anchor Lin Xinghe with a rocket launcher.


    After swiping through the records for ten minutes, she saw page after page of rewards from Xie Wuan.


    Gu Taoyao didn''t care about watching the livestream of her roommate anymore. She went to calculate the total amount of Xie Wuan''s reward and once again let out an inhuman emotion.


    ...A thousand points!


    ...A full thousand points!


    ...What was the concept of a thousand points? You could get rid of the D-level cyan bracelet and advance to the C-level blue bracelet with that many points. This was a class jump!


    Gu Taoyao suddenly felt that Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe also had a sense of CP¡ªa sugar daddy CP!

 CH 36.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 36.1


    Ling Xiran woke Lin Xinghe up already, so she didn''t plan to go back to sleep. She glanced at the time¡ªthe sun was rising over the horizon.


    She gave Ling Xiran another mission: to patrol the cruise ship and look for misbehaving ligui.


    Ling Xiran asked, "If it¡¯s misbehaving, can I eat it?"


    Lin Xinghe glanced at her.


    After Ling Xiran experienced the feeling of combat, she became more bloodthirsty.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you feel pain?"


    Ling Xiran said, "It''s a little bit, but it''s bearable."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Eating something can relieve the pain?"


    Ling Xiran nodded vigorously.


    Lin Xinghe said: "The staff on the ship will be valuable property in the future. After you eat one, you will lose a unit of free labor. If you are hungry, try to bear it or eat other souls, like those of animals and plants. The taste might not be as good, but if you don¡¯t train your appetite now, it will be easy to go crazy and lose your humanity in the future.¡±


    Ling Xiran replied, "Master, don''t worry! I will control my desires. I will not become a person, ah, no, a ghost, consumed by desires." She clenched her fists and continued, "I will work hard to complete the task and promise not to eat the ligui. If I meet those who are disobedient or violate the treaty, I will just lick them!"


    She gulped as she said this.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, good luck."


    She thought of something and added, "By the way, how much do you know about the second round of the massacre?"


    Ling Xiran said: "I don''t know much because we always hid in the dark room without sound or light. We only knew that on the eighth day, the cruise ship would be occupied by unknown creatures that carried out a second round of massacres based on outside voices..."


    "Killing passengers?"


    "Probably. After the passengers died, they became ghosts and got massacred again, but I don¡¯t know about the staff. I don¡¯t even know if the number of the staff went down..."


    Lin Xinghe got a general understanding and nodded.


    Ling Xiran waved, "Master, I''m leaving."


    Lin Xinghe sent Ling Xiran away and called for Steward Lin to bring her breakfast.


    Steward Lin never imagined that his companions on the cruise would fall into such a situation. When Lin Xinghe got on the ship, he never imagined that a harmless-looking girl like her would kill and torture his spirit. Then, she even encouraged her companions to study and torture his companions by similar means. Finally, she forced the captain to sign an unfair treaty. Now, he could only serve her with a standard service smile on his face and his hatred hidden in his heart.


    "Is Steward Lin disrespecting me?"


    "Of course not, it''s my honor to serve you."


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile, "Steward Lin really has a very professional work attitude."


    Steward Lin replied blandly,  ¡°Thank you very much.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and stated, "I have a few questions to ask. I hope you can cooperate with me regarding the information about the second round of the massacre."


    Seeing the nervous look on Steward Lin''s face, Lin Xinghe smiled again, "You don''t have to be nervous, I¡¯m just asking. It would be better for you to answer me honestly~"


    Lin Xinghe pet Xiao Xue Ji, who was cuddled in her arms.


    Xiao Xue Ji hissed fiercely in her heart.


    It''s just that little cats were cute no matter how fierce they acted, especially this ragdoll cat with bottle-blue eyes.


    Xiao Xue Ji seemed to realize that she was not fierce enough and turned into a little girl, complete with the familiar five mouths, and hissed at Steward Lin.


    Although Steward Lin had seen the situation in which the ragdoll cat turned into a green snake, now that she had become a little girl with five mouths, he couldn''t help being shocked.


    ...What a monster!


    Seeing Lin Xinghe keep stroking its head, Steward Lin said in his heart¡ª


    ...The mother of a monster.


    He simpered, "Please feel free to ask."


    Lin Xinghe inquired, "What kind of creature was responsible for the second massacre? Don''t have to answer that you don''t know; it''s impossible for you not to. After so many reincarnations, I don''t believe you haven''t met them."


    Steward Lin said, "They are called hadal ogres."


    This was the first time Lin Xinghe heard the name "hadal ogre," and she felt it was quite interesting.


    "Oh?"


    Steward Lin said, "We have been on this cruise ship since we became conscious, and we don''t remember what happened before. All our souls are sealed in this cruise ship. Long, long ago, our cruise ship was not called The Alpine Rimerose, but The Laughing Spirit.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Have there been two massacres every reincarnation since then?"


    Steward Lin shook his head and explained, "No, the route we traveled then was different from the one we do now. Our cruise ship was lost in the ocean, and everyone else was unaware of our existence. Until one day, the hadal ogres appeared, occupied our cruise ship, and changed the name to The Alpine Rimerose. From that day on, the reincarnation cycles officially began."


    Lin Xinghe made some conclusions in her mind and inquired, "Oh, so you are all victims? The Halal Ogres forced you to kill people?"


    Steward Lin replied, "Yes! On the eighth day, the Halal Ogres come aboard and slaughter the spirits of the passengers. All the staff on our cruise are actually the chefs of the Halal Ogres¡ªwe were forced to search, clean, cook, plate, and serve their meal in a large banquet."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Do the Halal Ogres know of the safe space behind the painting in the exhibition hall?"


    "I¡¯m not sure."


    "If you knew there were people in there, why didn¡¯t you go inside?"


    "Couldn¡¯t get in."


    "Why couldn¡¯t you get in?"


    "I don¡¯t really know why, but when there is light or sound inside, the boundaries of the safe space have openings, so we can chuck stuff inside. As long as the light and sound inside disappear, however, the holes in the walls disappear."


    Lin Xinghe said thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand, you can leave now."

 CH 36.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 36.2


    Not long after Steward Lin left, someone knocked on Lin Xinghe''s door.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Who is it?"


    "I."


    "Wait a minute."


    Lin Xinghe heard Fu Zhou''s voice, lowered her voice and whispered to Xiao Xue Ji, "Change back to a cat."


    Xiao Xue Ji rubbed her head in Lin Xinghe''s arms, and withdrew her five mouths, turning into a normal little girl with sparkling, wet eyes.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Don''t want to change back to a cat?"


    Xiao Xue Ji opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but quickly closed her mouth again.


    Lin Xinghe realized what Xiao Xue Ji was thinking and suddenly felt bad.


    This girl who came out of the Snow Maiden exam room was extraordinarily well-behaved and sensible. Lin Xinghe told her not to speak, so she had never spoken in front of anyone. The hesitation just now was obvious.


    The little girl was too sensible¡ªit was too easy to feel bad for her.


    Lin Xinghe also felt that it was almost time. All the students in the school knew that Xiao Xue Ji ate the Jinwudan, which gave her some incredible skills.


    She lowered her head and asked, to act it out to the livestream, "Are you able to speak?"


    Xiao Xue Ji raised her little head and said softly, "Mommy, hug-hug."


    ¡¾Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I''m going to melt! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xiao Xue Ji is so cute! Her voice is so soft and cute! ¡¿


    ¡¾Owo sorry, I''m officially leaving the snake-cat CP! The female swan is beautiful alone, and the stinky snake is not worthy of my female swan! ¡¿


    ¡¾Holy shit, Xie Wuan''s Jinwudan is awesome! After transforming into various creatures, now she can even speak human! Damn, I really want to eat a Jinwudan too! ¡¿


    ¡¾Sect leader, hug her! Hug her to death! ¡¿


    ¡¾I beg the sect leader to hug her quickly, my heart has really melted away! ¡¿

    Lin Xinghe''s heart also melted, and she immediately hugged Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji called her softly again, "Mommy."


    Lin Xinghe said, "When we go back to school, mommy will buy you something delicious to eat."


    Xiao Xue Ji turned back into a cat again, rubbing against Lin Xinghe''s palm with her little fluffy head.


    Lin Xinghe petted her head before picking her up and opening the door for Fu Zhou.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Is something wrong?"


    Fu Zhou said, "I''m here to share clues with you."


    Lin Xinghe let him in.


    Fu Zhou didn''t even take the time to sit. As soon as the door closed, he shared the clues he had with Lin Xinghe by the door.


    Lin Xinghe had already gotten all the clues that Fu Zhou knew from Steward Lin. They were all about the hadal ogres and didn¡¯t even mention the safe space.


    Lin Xinghe shared her information with Fu Zhou generously.


    Fu Zhou was suddenly a little frustrated. He had been busy collecting information all morning, thinking that if he got more clues than Lin Xinghe, she would feel that he was a viable teammate. He did not expect that she would know more than he did.


    Naturally, Lin Xinghe didn''t know what Fu Zhou was thinking. She pondered a little and asked, "Is Jiuge in the room?"


    Fu Zhou said: "No, he got up early in the morning to do hair maintenance."


    Lin Xinghe said, "On what floor?"


    "Sixth floor."


    "I''m going to find Jiuge, are you coming?"


    "Yup."


    Fu Zhou followed Lin Xinghe to the sixth floor to find Jiuge.


    Lin Xinghe told Jiuge the clues she had learned and wanted to go to the darkroom to check it out. However, the cruise ship was full of students, and she didn''t want too many people flooding into the darkroom together.


    Lin Xinghe said, "...So I hope you can prevent people in the exhibition hall from coming in."


    After all, Jiuge was a top dog in the fantasy department, a firm deterrent when placed at the door.


    Lin Xinghe added, "Just stand at the door, you can drink health tea while the ligui give you a head massage. I will find new clues and share them all with you."


    Jiuge couldn''t refuse such a temptation, so he readily agreed.


    Being a shield that could win without thinking was one of Jiuge''s dreams, and his ultimate dream was naturally to be able to graduate from the villain school without losing a single hair.


    Lin Xinghe and Fu Zhou entered the exhibition hall together.


    Lin Xinghe stopped in front of the abstract picture called "Blood.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked, "The safe space is behind this painting?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, please move it away."


    Fu Zhou moved the picture frame. Suddenly, Lin Xinghe exclaimed, "Wait."


    Fu Zhou asked, "What?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "This painting seems to be a little uneven. The other paintings sit flatly in the frame, but the lower right corner of this painting is a bit raised."


    Before she could finish her sentence, she had already completely removed the frame.


    She examined it carefully. Her slender fingers searched the bulge, finding a loose edge and tearing it open. There was another painting below, slightly yellowed.


    But it was the complete opposite of the artistic style of ¡°Blood.¡±


    It was a drawing of the back of a woman, wearing a white, luxuriously trailing wedding dress and standing at the entrance of a majestic palace.


    The palace was so huge that the bride looked very petite.


    Around her were blooming white roses.


    If Lin Xinghe was not mistaken, the white roses scattered around the bride were alpine rimeroses.

 CH 37.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 37.1


    Fu Zhou also recognized it.


    No one on the ship knew what an alpine rimerose looked like.


    Fu Zhou''s hands were shaking, and he said, "Everyone said that you are the leader of the Koi sect, and it seems to be true. You can also find clues like this? What does this painting mean? There are palaces, brides, and snow-capped roses... Are the alpine rimeroses in this place?"


    Fu Zhou thought about it for a while and asked, "But what does this have to do with the cruise ship? What does it have to do with the hadal ogres? Where are we going to find a bride? Or will the alpine rimeroses only appear when someone becomes a bride? "


    Lin Xinghe said, "I don''t think any of them are right."


    "Huh?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "There are hints in the exam questions, do you remember? Find an Alpine Rimerose, and a hint was given later. There are only fifty alpine rimeroses in this exam room. But there are more than fifty roses in the painting¡ªhundreds, maybe even thousands."


    Fu Zhou counted, stopping after he reached fifty.


    He said, "Is it possible that there are only fifty alpine rimeroses in total, and we need to find the real alpine rimeroses in the sea of


    Lin Xinghe replied, "There are not enough clues at the moment, so we can''t make a conclusion. Let''s take the painting and try to find some other clues. Don''t you have a storage ring? You take it."


    Just in case, Lin Xinghe took a photo of the painting with her mobile phone before letting Fu Zhou put it in the storage ring.


    There was a secret door behind the painting.


    The material of the door was some kind of metal, with a luster like black iron, cold to the touch.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What material is this? Do you know?"


    Fu Zhou touched it and felt a chill in his fingertips. He shivered and said, "I don''t know either. The setting of this world has hadal ogres, which sounds more like a fantasy environment. Jiuge may know."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "Then let¡¯s go ask Jiuge after we find some more clues."


    She groped around for the switch for the door to the safe space.


    When the door opened, the light from the exhibition hall streamed into the dark room and also illuminated a small portion of the area inside.


    Fu Zhou flicked his fingers, and a bright light shot out from his fingertips. The stream of light consolidated into an orb and floated in the air, illuminating the safe space as bright as day.


    Lin Xinghe had seen this kind of orb in Jiuge''s hair shield before and knew that it was a magic light.


    Fu Zhou explained, "The light tool that Jiuge bought before can illuminate the area of


    about 50 square meters each, while two can double the area of effect. Once, Jiuge and I made a bet to see whose hair dropped less on the next day, so he lost one to me."


    Lin Xinghe: ...You men are really interesting.


    There were a total of eight people in every corner of the dark room. All of them were sallow and thin, maybe from hiding in the dark for too long, and the strong light made them cover their eyes.


    After acclimating to the light, they all huddled in fear, and some even cried in despair.


    Lin Xinghe took a quick glance at them, then went to examine the surroundings in the safe space.


    To her surprise, this room was about 40 to 50 square meters, with beds, carpets, dressers, wardrobe screens, and even a grandfather clock. The items were all two times the normal size, and the style was similar to the palace in the painting just now, complete with luxuriously exquisite details


    But they were very old.


    This was apparently a girl''s bedroom.


    Lin Xinghe started a carpet search, rummaging through all the places in the space that could be turned over. In the end, there was only one locked wardrobe unscathed.


    Fu Zhou also noticed and said, "There should be a key."


    Lin Xinghe said, "It shouldn¡¯t be so troublesome, just smash it."


    Fu Zhou replied, "If it could be smashed, the people here would have smashed it long ago."


    Lin Xinghe shook her head and stated, "Obviously, they didn¡¯t have a chance to smash anything. They would be discovered if they made noises or shine lights, so it''s very possible that they don''t even know what''s in the room."


    Fu Zhou went to smash the lock and found that he could really smash it open.


    The lock clanked on the ground.


    Inside the wardrobe was a snow-white wedding dress, a pair of crystal shoes, and a jewelry box.


    Lin Xinghe took them out and placed them on the bed. She carefully compared it with the wedding dress from the painting and confirmed that it was the same wedding dress. She opened the jewelry box again and found a sapphire necklace with matching earrings and bracelet as well as a palm-sized sheepskin codex.


    The codex told an ancient bridal legend¡ª


    A long time ago, there was a fair maiden who fell in love with a hadal ogre. The hadal ogre was obsessed with the beauty and kindness of the girl and held a grand wedding with the girl on the cruise. Since then, they lived happily ever after as a fairy tale prince and princess.


    Fu Zhou stuttered, "This exam room is a fairy tale?"


    Lin Xinghe said calmly, "Not necessarily."


    Fu Zhou retorted, "The bride and the hadal orge lived happily ever after, so isn''t it a fairy tale?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "The bride is a human. Is the hadal ogre human? They are different species. It is not impossible for those of different species to be happy together. But if the hadal ogre really loved the human bride, would he build her a hidden room behind a picture frame? When you love someone, you want the best for her. Is this a good place? I''m afraid this is more of a gilded birdcage."


    Fu Zhou did not expect this type of reasoning.

 CH 37.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 37.2


    Lin Xinghe added, "If the human bride and the hadal ogre groom really held a grand wedding on the cruise, why are there no traces of it? The only painting related to the bride is hidden behind the back of another. Oh, the hadal ogre was obsessed with the beauty and kindness of the maiden, but he was reluctant to share it with others. The only manuscript depicting their story was hidden in the jewel box in a locked wardrobe in a dark space behind a picture frame. Could the human bride really be that bad, to be hidden to such an extent? Isn''t this the kind of scumbag in modern times who talks about his girlfriend but refuses to reveal her and hides her?"


    Fu Zhou admitted, "When you say it like that, the hadal ogre seems to really be a scumbag..."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "It''s just an inference, there isn¡¯t enough evidence to prove that the hadal ogre was actually a scumbag..."


    Lin Xinghe flipped through the sheepskin manuscript again and finally found a line on the last page¡ª


    Destiny guided you here. Everything was arranged by God. If you accept him, the key to the door of happiness lies in your hands.


    -Lilith.


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe went to the bed, turned over the wedding dress, and finally found Lilith''s name embroidered into the skirt.


    Fu Zhou, "What type of superpower do you have? You can even find something as small as this?!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "It was just a whim. I thought that there might be embroidery on the wedding dress, but I didn''t expect it to be her name. I made a wild guess and verified it."


    She thought about it more and said, "So the last line was written by Lilith."


    "Who was it written to?"


    "It should be someone else. According to the legend of the bride in the codex, it was Lilith who first fell in love with the hadal ogre. If she fell in love first, there is no such thing as accepting or not accepting his courtship. Her words seem to be persuading others to accept the hadal orges. So, who is this other person? Who did Fate guide here..."


    Lin Xinghe thought about it some more, but she wasn¡¯t able to come up with anything.


    At this moment, the reincarnated passengers who had been huddled in the corner were marginally less afraid. One of the people even gathered up the courage to ask, "You... Who are you?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "You don''t have to be afraid. The ligui on board signed the Alpine Rimerose Treaty with us. Now, we humans and the ligui live in peace. As long as any one of you can give me useful information, you can all leave."


    She asked all the other returning passengers the same question she had asked Ling Xiran¡ª it wasn''t that she didn''t believe Ling Xiran, but she felt that maybe other people would have some different information.


    "...It''s not completely safe here, but I haven''t told anyone this. I was worried about everyone else panicking," a short man in the corner said suddenly.


    Lin Xinghe looked at him and said, "Continue."


    He added, "It''s true that the ligui and the hadal ogres cannot enter this place, but after half a year, a special ogre will enter here and kill everyone inside."


    Fu Zhou asked him, "How did you find out?"


    The short man revealed, "My older brother also came aboard on this cruise, and I came to find him after he disappeared. When I first went on the cruise, I bumped into his spirit, which told me about this safe zone. Neither the ligui nor the hadal ogres could get in, but all the people who escaped to this area only had half a year to live. If they couldn¡¯t escape from the curse of the cruise ship, a special ogre would come to exterminate everyone in this room once every half year. My brother hid here and was killed by the special ogre half a year later. His spirit escaped and survived until the end of the second round of the massacre and until I got on the boat, but I never saw him again after that..."


    Lin Xinghe got another key piece of information¡ªa special ogre.


    It was also at this time that she discovered that there were holes all over the wall opposite from the entrance.


    The short man said again, "These holes will appear when the walls are exposed to light or sound, but as long as the light and sound disappear, they will also disappear."


    Lin Xinghe felt it was a little mystifying.


    She asked Fu Zhou to put away the light bead.


    When the room was dark again, she touched the wall and felt that the holes really disappeared. The wall was flat and cold. But when Fu Zhou shot the light bead into midair, the holes were once again visible to the naked eye.


    She stretched out her hand and poked one¡ªit really led to the outside. No wonder the people inside couldn''t make any sound or light¡ªthe ligui outside would have tried their best to kill them through these holes.


    Lin Xinghe said to Fu Zhou, "The material of the wall is the same as the material of the entrance behind the painting. Can you ask Jiuge to come and see what it is?¡±


    Not long after, Jiuge came over.


    Jiuge didn''t know what it was and conjectured, "It''s like a metal that only exists in the deep sea, specifically in the hadal zone."


    "...Deep sea? Hadal zone¡­" Lin Xinghe murmured.


    Fu Zhou asked, "It''s also related to the hadal ogres?"


    Lin Xinghe stated, "I have a question now. From their clues, we can deduce that only the special ogre can enter this place. Presumably, the characteristics of this material do not affect the special ogre. The holes are also man-made, but it is only possible for the special ogre to make holes in it; that is to say, these holes are full of contradictions..."


    She trailed off into thought.


    Fu Zhou thought she had come to a conclusion, and asked expectantly, "So?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "This exam room is quite interesting."

 CH 38.1

    After Lin Xinghe came out of the hidden room, she also let the NPCs out.


    They were a little timid at first, but after seeing that ligui really didn¡¯t hurt them, they were quite relieved and went to find a restaurant to eat at.


    Lin Xinghe had no plans to hide the existence of the hidden room. Maybe someone would know what the walls and entrance were made out of.


    She put the wedding dress, wedding shoes, and jewelry box back inside the wardrobe.


    She didn¡¯t plan to hide the painting of the bride either, so Fu Zhou hung it on the entrance to the hidden room.


    Fu Zhou was slightly taken aback and asked, ¡°Why do we share the clues we discovered with so many people? This is an exam room, you know that everyone is a competitor.¡±


    Fu Zhou looked at Jiuge for answers.


    Jiuge looked back at him, ¡°I¡¯m just a shield, don¡¯t ask me¡± written all over his face.


    Seeing this, Fu Zhou asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°Can you tell me the reason?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°We have already found all the clues that we can possibly find, but we still don¡¯t know what an alpine rimerose is. It¡¯s better to brainstorm and see what students from different worlds can find. I installed several cameras here to monitor the situation virtually¡±


    After hearing what Lin Xinghe said, Fu Zhou understood her meaning.


    They seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else, but the new information they had was too complicated and full of contradictions. There was no clear path of reasoning at all.


    It was better to let everyone think about it.


    Fu Zhou was afraid that the students would destroy the monitors, so he added a layer of enchantment to the four security cameras.


    Then, they went back to the bridge.


    Lin Xinghe informed everyone over the intercom.


    A large number of students swarmed at the entrance to the room.


    Some girls tried on Lilith¡¯s wedding dress and wedding shoes, but it didn¡¯t work.


    In the hidden room, the students¡¯ voices overlapped, so they couldn¡¯t hear what anyone else was saying at all.


    Fu Zhou asked , ¡°Jiuge, do you have any props to make voices clearer¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, Lin Xinghe whispered, ¡°Shh, don¡¯t talk.¡±


    Lin Xinghe zoomed in on the screen and turned up the volume of one of the cameras.


    Both the hidden room and the exhibition area around it were very crowded. There were also a lot of students crowding around the picture of the bride. Some used their brooms and swords to fly around, and they could not be seen at all in the surveillance.


    Everyone was chattering.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t these the alpine rimeroses?¡±


    ¡°Do we need to go to this place to find the alpine rimeroses?¡±


    ¡°It seems that there are more than fifty¡­¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s not say whether there are fifty or not. We have been on the boat for so long and finally found the clues relating to the alpine rimeroses! Where is this palace? Is it possible to see the alpine rimeroses just by finding this palace?¡±


    ¡°Where are the alpine rimeroses?¡±


    ¡°Is the bride the big boss? Or is the bride an alpine rimerose?¡±


    ¡­


    Fu Zhou wanted to listen in on the key information, but everyone was talking about the alpine rimeroses so loudly that Fu Zhou couldn¡¯t hear anything else.


    He looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe stood quietly in front of the monitor, and he didn¡¯t know what she was watching or listening to.


    With so much noise, it was hard to tell what was useful information.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe zoomed in on the surveillance again. This time, the footage fell on two girls in the corner. Instead of crowding in front of the painting, they took pictures of the painting earlier and sat down on the lounge in the corner with phones in hand.


    There was more than one camera in the exhibition hall, and Lin Xinghe adjusted another angle to spy on them more clearly.


    They heard the two girls discussing¡ª


    ¡°The bride¡¯s wedding dress is beautiful.¡±


    ¡°This place feels familiar to me¡­¡±


    ¡°Have you been here?¡±


    ¡°No, I meant¡­ Well, my previous world was a fantasy world. The heroine was a mermaid, the hero was a human prince, and I was a witch under the sea. I was born in and lived at the bottom of the sea and never left the ocean. Later, I was stabbed to death by the prince. It has been several years since I entered the villain school, and I think it is much more comfortable to live on land than in the sea. If I had known that living on land was like this, I wouldn¡¯t have cared to stop the mermaid and the prince from falling in love¡ªthey could have done whatever they wanted, as long as I could live on land¡­¡±


    ¡°Was the mermaid princess beautiful?¡±


    ¡°Could the heroine not be beautiful? One glance could tell you she was the sun of that world, her vibrant hair and garish pupils and shining scales almost blinded my eyes. But the bottom of the sea was also beautiful. I raised a lot of brightly colored, gorgeous little fish in my underwater palace.¡±


    ¡°You mean your palace was under the sea?¡±


    ¡°Yes, and though the sea is not shown in the painting, but the alpine rimeroses, as well as the patterns and lights on the palace tiles, can all be found on the seabed.¡±


    ¡°¡­Could it be that the alpine rimeroses are on the bottom of the sea?¡±


    ¡°But the ocean is too big. If it¡¯s really under the sea, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Usually, something like this would have huge monsters guarding it. I just finished fighting with the ligui and haven¡¯t recovered enough¡­¡±


    The conversation between the two girls reached the ears of everyone on the bridge.


    Fu Zhou¡¯s admiration could no longer be concealed.


    ¡­ With so many overlapping voices, how could Lin Xinghe be able to accurately pinpoint such critical information!


    At this time, Lin Xinghe lowered her eyes slightly, as if pondering something.


    Fu Zhou didn¡¯t say a word and just let her think quietly.

 CH 38.2

    Jiuge was sitting beside him, looking out to the horizon. He held his flask of health tea in his hand, a perfect portrait of stillness.


    After a while, Lin Xinghe smiled and said to the captain, ¡°Captain, you guys are very dishonest and didn¡¯t cooperate with us well. You knew of Lilith¡¯s existence, but you hid this fact because you thought we couldn¡¯t find the hidden painting. Thank you for your concealment and letting me know that you and the hadal ogres are actually in cahoots.¡±


    The captain¡¯s expression changed slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t give him the opportunity and continued, ¡°If you couldn¡¯t enter the hidden room, you definitely wouldn¡¯t know that it¡¯s a bride¡¯s room with Lilith¡¯s handwritten notes. According to the notes, you can¡¯t go in because the special hadal ogre doesn¡¯t want you to hurt the person in the room.


    ¡°The hadal ogres need a place that is safe from you and need you to do things for them, but you are obviously also souls and they haven¡¯t eaten you¡­¡±


    She smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, who would deliver fresh ingredients to them every month if they ate you? The hadal ogres must have given you a lot of benefits and powers? Otherwise, why do the passengers stay ordinary ghosts but you guys get stronger? It is precisely because of the influence of the hadal ogres that you don¡¯t want to turn back to land¡­¡±


    There was a hint of panic in the captain¡¯s eyes.


    Lin Xinghe smirked, ¡°It was just a reasonable conjecture, but your expression tells me that my conjecture is right.¡± She paused for dramatic effect and then continued, ¡°You, as the original inhabitants of the cruise ship, were later invaded by the hadal ogres, so you must also have attended Lilith¡¯s wedding. What happened after that?¡±


    The captain opened and closed his mouth a few times.


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°I hope you can understand one thing. Sooner or later, I will be able to dig out the truth. You will pay the price for lying the moment I dig out the truth.¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at the deputy captain with one arm left and said, ¡°How about you speak. I¡¯ll give you a chance to be a one-armed warrior. If you don¡¯t tell me everything you know, you can only be an armless warrior.¡±


    Just at this moment, Ling Xiran entered through the wall, floated to Lin Xinghe, and said, ¡°Master, I found you, I have already¡­¡± Her voice trailed off, and she picked up,


    ¡°Oh, so there are other people¡­¡±


    She closed her mouth and gulped quietly next to Lin Xinghe, looking at the other arm of the  deputy captain.


    The deputy captain shuddered.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t expect Ling Xiran¡¯s assistance to be so timely, and commanded, ¡°Tell me, what happened to Lilith after the wedding?¡±


    The deputy captain stammered, ¡°A-after the wedding, the leader of the hadal ogres brought Lilith back to the sea to live.¡± He glanced at the captain, then at Ling Xiran, gritted his teeth, and said, ¡°This was a hundred years ago. It¡¯s in the past! A hundred years ago, the hadal ogres occupied our cruise ship. Our route changed then because they asked us to provide fresh and delicious human souls for them, and Lilith was in our first batch of passengers¡­¡±


    ¡°And Lilith fell in love with the chief of the hadal ogres? What about the other passengers?¡±


    The deputy captain winced, ¡°They all became food for the hadal ogres.¡±


    ¡°It was also a two-week voyage cycle a hundred years ago?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought that even if it was an interspecies relationship, as long as it was true love and didn¡¯t hurt others, it deserved respect. But now she thought that Lilith was a lunatic, what with her falling in love with a creature of a different species that ate her companions.


    Lin Xinghe asked coldly, ¡°What¡¯s up with that safe room? Lilith¡¯s room?¡±


    The deputy captain whimpered,  ¡°We can¡¯t get in, and we don¡¯t know what¡¯s inside. We only know that it¡¯s a room built by the hadal ogres a year after the chief of the hadal ogres and Lilith got married. It was made from a special material in the deep sea, and only the chief can enter the room. When the construction finished, Lilith surfaced once. We only glanced at her from a distance. She was no longer human at that time¡ªshe was as tall as the hadal ogres. But we were driven to the deck by other hadal ogres not long after. After that, Lilith never appeared again¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Will the chief of the hadal ogres come aboard every time?¡±


    The deputy captain replied, ¡°Not necessarily, there is no pattern, it all depends on the mood of the chief. Sometimes only a few hadal ogres come on board and collect the souls in a huge basket to take back into the sea.¡±


    The deputy captain really smelled too sweet.


    Ling Xiran couldn¡¯t hold back and floated behind the deputy captain, sniffing deeply at his neck.


    The deputy captain, a giant man with a height of more than two meters, shook, his voice trembling.


    ¡°The-the-the-the ch-chi-chief¡­ ch-changes ev-v-v-ery th-th????? years.¡±


    Lin Xinghe felt it was too tiring to listen to and asked Ling Xiran to come back to her side.


    His voice stabilized.


    ¡°The c-current ch-chief rarely boards the ship and only comes biannually to clear out the safe space. Before, the other chiefs would kidnap the women and kill the men in the room.¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt the puzzle pieces click into place.


    ¡­ It would be too contradictory if there hadn¡¯t been different chiefs.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Did the new chief bring a woman back to the sea yet?¡±


    The deputy captain replied, ¡°None were spared in the six-month massacre.¡±


    Lin Xinghe had a general understanding of the plot of this exam room.


    It seemed that the hidden room was where the human brides were screened.


    She had one last question left.


    ¡°Lilith was human, so how did she live in the sea?¡±


    ¡°The chief gave her something¡ªwe don¡¯t know what.¡± He gestured and said, ¡°It was about palm-sized, white, and looked very similar to the alpine rimerose you¡¯re looking for. But it wasn¡¯t a flower, I saw Lilith eat a bite at a time, chewing thoroughly before swallowing.¡±

 CH 39.1

    ¡¾Huhhh? Alpine rimeroses are not flowers? ¡¿


    ¡¾Finally, a clue about these alpine rimeroses! The progress of this examination room is soooooooo slow! ¡¿


    ¡¾Don¡¯t say that after all, have you forgotten the circumstances??? In fact, today is the second day after the sect leader and others entered the examination room. On the first day, the leader ordered everyone to imprison the staff on the cruise, and then in the middle of the night, she befriended a ghost, and then finally signed an unfair treaty with them. Treaty! Classmates! It¡¯s only the second day of the exam! How is this slow? ¡¿


    ¡¾Right! This isn¡¯t slow! If other candidates were in this place, maybe you would still be wondering why the staff became ghosts! ¡¿


    ¡¾Our sect leader is the commander + dug out the plot so quickly. She¡¯ll probably get a lot of bonus points. ¡¿


    ¡¾Tbh the ligui alr suck, surviving their attack would already be hard enough to qualify as an exam prompt, but this is just the first half. ¡¿


    ¡¾Am I the only one who thinks that both exams that the sect leader encountered were quite difficult? ¡¿


    ¡¾Nope, ur not alone. She¡¯s prolly targeted ;(( That boss from the modern department was targeted, and each exam room became especially difficult. In the end, they died tragically in the examination room¡­ hopefully the SL doesn¡¯t follow in the footsteps of that boss. ¡¿


    ¡­


    Finally having a clue about the alpine rimerose, Fu Zhou expressed his wishful thinking, ¡°So the alpine rimerose is in the hands of the hadal ogre, and in a few days, they will board the ship. We will do the same thing with the ligui and force them to hand the alpine rimeroses over. In the next few days, we can just focus on how to deal with the hadal ogres and take them by surprise when they get on the boat. ¡±


    Jiuge did not comment.


    ¡°This is¡­a method,¡± Lin Xinghe said.


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°Do you have any other methods?¡±


    He waited for an answer.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him.


    Fu Zhou understood.


    ¡­ They were farming views on the damn livestream to earn points.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the time and said, ¡°It¡¯s time for me to have dinner, bye.¡± After she finished speaking, she picked up Xiao Xue Ji and left the room.


    Ling Xiran reluctantly glanced at the deputy captain and followed Lin Xinghe.


    Fu Zhou scratched his chest and said to Jiuge, ¡°Let¡¯s follow them and take a look?¡±


    Jiuge replied, ¡°No, I¡¯m just a shield with no emotions. I should also go to eat my healthy hair-growing meal.¡± Jiuge also left the captain¡¯s room with his thermos of health tea.


    The abandoned Fu Zhou could only dine with Thunder.


    Ling Xiran followed behind Lin Xinghe and continued what she had just said, ¡°Master, I have finished learning the second part¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was actually a little surprised.


    Ling Xiran¡¯s cultivation speed was so fast, it was as though she had finished a year of schooling in one day and got first place on the exam.


    She asked Ling Xiran, ¡°How is your body?¡±


    Ling Xiran said bitterly, ¡°I¡¯m sooo hungry. The more I practice, the more I get hungry, and the deputy captain smells really delicious. I would never have felt that way before, after all, he was a rough man who bathes once every three days, but now his soul body is so tempting. I secretly wiped my saliva several times just now.¡±


    Ling Xiran thought for a while, and then said, ¡°The hunger is painful, but it¡¯s within the tolerable range.¡±


    She added, ¡°Master, you can have me practice the next part. I heard you guys saying that the hadal ogres will board the ship in a few days, and I can protect you when I become stronger.¡±


    Lin Xinghe finally decided to give the third part to Ling Xiran.


    She wouldn¡¯t spend much time on the cruise. If Ling Xiran didn¡¯t get as strong as possible quickly, there was no way she could control all the ghosts on the cruise.


    After Ling Xiran left, Lin Xinghe walked directly to the restaurant on the top floor.


    Although it was time for dinner, there were only a few candidates in the restaurant. Most of them were still studying the hidden room and the painting in the exhibition hall. There were three restaurants near the exhibition hall. The students would choose those first if they were hungry.


    The restaurant on the top floor was a buffet restaurant. There were only three or four ghosts on duty. Perhaps because they had been sorely beaten by the villain school, they were very well-behaved and professional now. They saw Lin Xinghe and warmly asked her if she wanted to eat a freshly made souffl¨¦.


    Lin Xinghe shook her head and expressed her thanks.


    On the surveillance camera, she saw the witch classmate coming to this restaurant.


    She looked around and saw her sitting at the best spot to watch the sea.


    It was not yet completely night, and the setting sun reflected a layer of golden light on the sea. The floor-to-ceiling window in the restaurant had a broad, panoramic view of the magnificent scenery.


    Lin Xinghe walked straight to her.


    The fantasy student noticed Lin Xinghe the moment she entered the restaurant and was muttering about how Lin Xinghe came here when she saw Lin Xinghe sitting down in front of her.


    Lin Xinghe asked her solemnly, ¡°Are you still worried about not being able to find the alpine rimeroses? Are you still worried about the exam in the face of the beautiful scenery? Are you still worried about getting the guaranteed points?¡±


    She stretched out her hand and introduced, ¡°I¡¯m Lin Xinghe, I can solve these troubles for you.¡±


    The witch classmate hesitantly took Lin Xinghe¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°¡­Did you sell insurance before?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No, I was an actress.¡±


    The witch classmate replied, ¡°In one of the exam rooms before, I participated in an insurance training class. That class would have loved to train a talent like yours.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled, ¡°Thank you for the compliment.¡±

 CH 39.2

    The witch classmate looked at her.


    Lin Xinghe let her classmate evaluate her generously and then said, ¡°I¡¯m running out of time, so I¡¯ll cut to the chase. I¡¯m not here to sell insurance or offer products, I¡¯m here to make a deal with you. I¡¯ll give you an alpine rimerose later, so you can leave the exam room with guaranteed points. At the same time, you can easily relax and take a half-month vacation on the cruise.¡±


    She paused, then said, ¡°Of course, if you want to get a higher score, you can also trade with me. I can provide you with the latest clues and information and you can freely explore the storyline of the exam room. Or, you can even cooperate with me, but I cannot guarantee your life and safety.¡±


    The witch classmate asked, ¡°What do you want me to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°You used to be a witch who lived under the sea, right? Ordinary human beings like me want to walk freely on the seafloor without being restricted by the water pressure or drowning. Is that possible?¡±


    The witch classmate thought about it. She explained, ¡°I can make a black magic potion that allows people to breathe on the seabed and resist the pressure at that level, but it can only last for 24 hours.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°How long does it take to make such a potion?¡±


    The witch classmate replied, ¡°I have the raw materials, so probably around an hour.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I need one.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give it to you in an hour,¡± the witch classmate said. ¡°You can bring me an alpine rimerose. I don¡¯t need anything else.¡±


    Lin Xinghe admired the witch¡¯s straightforwardness and asked, ¡°Okay, what¡¯s your name? If needed, I can help you advertise in the future.¡±


    ¡°Just call me Mona.¡±


    (ED note: more water witches called Mona????)


    Although Mona was a villainous witch, she was not a big villain in her before-novel. She owned an ancient underwater castle, and the undersea merchants would trade with her. At that time, there was a bigger villain¡ªa demon king who lived in the deep sea.


    But that was what Mona herself thought. She didn¡¯t know that she was a villain until the day she died and always felt that she was a decent person. After all, the mermaid princess often bought things from her on credit. Even by the time that the prince killed Mona, the mermaid princess still hadn¡¯t paid her back.


    In this exam, Mona originally thought that she alone had discovered the secrets of the seafloor and expected to get top ten, but now she realized that Lin Xinghe had also discovered these clues. According to Lin Xinghe¡¯s excellent performance in this exam, she must be in the top ten, and her teammates Jiuge and Fu Zhou would also be.


    However, Mona did not think that she could protect herself against a group of hadal ogres, and she didn¡¯t want to sacrifice herself for a job that could prove potentially too difficult.


    Mona shook hands with Lin Xinghe again and asked, ¡°Which room do you live in? I¡¯ll finish making the potion in an hour and deliver it to you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe randomly ate something in the buffet and then went back to her room. After an hour, Mona gave her the potion and also came with special clothes to ward off the cold on the seafloor.


    Lin Xinghe expressed her gratitude.


    Mona waved at Lin Xinghe and happily started her vacation life.


    Many students in the livestreams were envious.


    ¡¾Is it too late to learn black magic now? ¡¿


    ¡¾I really want to have an exam with the SL, give her equipment, and get carried to victory uwu. ¡¿


    ¡¾I just wanna get the minimum guaranteed score in exams. ¡¿


    ¡¾Wut, is Lin Xinghe going to the bottom of the sea? What is she going to do under the sea? Steal alpine rimeroses? ¡¿


    ¡¾She only needs a single tube of potion? Is she ditching Jiuge and Fu Zhou? ¡¿


    ¡¾btw, can Lin Xinghe even leave the cruise? ¡¿


    ¡¾She isn¡¯t a returning passenger, so it should be okay?? ¡¿


    ¡¾SL hasn¡¯t been through either massacre, so I think she¡¯ll be ok!!¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe was indeed testing whether she could leave the cruise, but she was not testing himself, but rather Ling Xiran.


    After all, the passengers should be able to leave up to a certain distance, otherwise, the reincarnated passengers would not be able to get on the pier. The question was how far is this distance was.


    Soon, the test results came out.


    As soon as Ling Xiran left the cruise, she would be pulled back by an invisible tension. No matter how she left the cruise, the result would be the same.


    Lin Xinghe also tested other returning passengers, and the results were the same.


    Lin Xinghe did not test anymore.


    She jumped into the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. Mona¡¯s potion really worked. She felt no different on the seafloor than on the ship, and nothing was keeping her tethered to the cruise, either.


    It seemed that the trigger for the curse of returning was the second massacre. Lin Xinghe guessed that the hadal ogres did something to the passengers and prevented them from leaving the cruise.


    She got out of the sea.


    Her magic broom hovered in mid-air.


    She grabbed the magic broom and got on it, and when she rode it back to the cruise, she unexpectedly found Fu Zhou and Jiuge standing on the deck. They looked at her at the same time.


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°Were you going to steal alpine rimeroses?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Then what did you want to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Break into the hadal ogres¡¯ stronghold.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ? ? ?


    Jiu Ye, who had been drinking his healthy goji berry tea, showed a rare surprised look, and slowly swallowed his mouthful of tea.

 CH 40.1

    ¡¾Hahahahahaha, the message written all over Jiuge¡¯s face: hollup, wdym??? Can you wait until im done with my goji berry tea and say it again????? Himbo vibes lmfaooo ¡¿


    ¡¾Are these boss-level ideas? Do y¡¯all just take down other ppl¡¯s houses? ¡¿


    ¡¾SL: Stealing things is too troublesome, let¡¯s just infiltrate their stronghold~ ¡¿


    ¡¾Plot twist: Fire Maiden to Virgin of the Sea?¡¿


    ¡¾The abyssal goliath is about to usher in the rule of the sea girl. ¡¿


    ¡¾Y¡¯all rly have confidence in Lin Xinghe¡­ These abyssal goliaths aren¡¯t to be underestimated, and they¡¯re in their natural territory. Lin Xinghe isn¡¯t afraid of failing and eating crow? ¡¿


    ¡¾SL¡¯s marketing strategy is really useful, but some people want to watch her eat crow¡­ ¡¿


    ¡¾Didn¡¯t you see, after she announced that she wanted to break into the ogres¡¯ stronghold, her viewers doubled in number? Her livestream is now top 20 in the whole school, even higher than Jiuge¡¯s. ¡¿


    ¡¾Marketing genius! Regardless of whether she succeeds in the end, she earned this wave of popularity anyway. ¡¿


    ¡­


    Hearing Lin Xinghe¡¯s understatement, Fu Zhou was shocked into silence.


    Jiuge was calm. Hearing Lin Xinghe say this, he only hesitated and said, ¡°Sea water hurts your hair.¡±


    Fu Zhou thought about it.


    ¡­ No, Jiuge, didn¡¯t you hear what she said? She said she was going to break into the hadal ogres¡¯ nest! Is that something one person can do?


    However, Fu Zhou¡¯s mental activity was interrupted immediately after.


    Jiuge seemed to hesitate and asked, ¡°Do you want a T?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Fu Zhou continued his internal dialogue.


    ¡­ Huh, you guys are just going in? What are you doing? Didn¡¯t you say you were going to break into the hadal ogres¡¯ den? It sounds like you¡¯re going to the bottom of the sea to make friends with the hadal ogres!


    Jiuge, who tried the ligui¡¯s scalp treatment, seemed to have opened a door to a new world, and asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°Do you have the ability to make the hadal ogres give me a scalp treatment too?¡±


    Lin Xinghe paused and answered, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s fine, it isn¡¯t necessary.¡±


    Jiuge was a very decisive person. After weighing the pros and cons, he said, ¡°Do I need to prepare anything?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Go to Mona from the fantasy department. She has black magic potions that allow people to move freely under the sea.¡±


    ¡°All right.¡±


    Jiuge left with the pot of health tea.


    Fu Zhou felt that they were too crazy, but Jiuge was going to be Lin Xinghe¡¯s T, and he was going to form a team with Lin Xinghe. If he didn¡¯t join the mission now, he might not ever have the chance.


    He asked, ¡°Do you want an assist T?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°You stay on the boat, it¡¯s inconvenient to move around with too many people.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked mournfully, ¡°You only want two people to go?¡±


    Lin Xinghe confirmed, ¡°Yes, no more than two people, it¡¯s just right.¡±


    Fu Zhou was tragically rejected, mixed feelings floating in his heart.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t have time to consider Fu Zhou¡¯s mood. After all, she had to do a lot of preparation. The ligui had never been to the bottom of the sea, so they didn¡¯t know where the stronghold was.


    The cruise ship originally traveled at roughly 20 kilometers per hour in order to let the passengers enjoy the sea view more comfortably.


    Lin Xinghe instructed the captain to increase the speed because she wanted them to arrive two days in advance.


    She found Ling Xiran again and gave her the fourth part of the ghost cultivation guide.


    After learning that her master was going to PK the hadal ogres, Ling Xiran expressed her hunger. Maybe the soul of the hadal ogre was delicious. After all, they seemed just like giants in the deep sea.


    After Lin Xinghe finished explaining, she went to Mona again and asked for two more tubes of the underwater potion. After all, one tube of the potion only lasted for 24 hours.


    After everything was ready, Lin Xinghe and Jiuge quietly set off on broomsticks. It was the middle of the night on the third day of the cruise.


    Fu Zhou looked at the figures of the two gradually disappearing in the night sky, very sadly.


    ¡­Alas, another exam room where he failed to team with Jiuge.


    Leiting watched Xiao Xue Ji, who perched on Lin Xinghe¡¯s shoulder without turning back to look at him, and also lowered its head sadly, withering into snake jerky.


    As a result, Fu Zhou, who had two kinds of sadness mixed together in his heart, was even more sad.


    But at this moment, Lin Xinghe encountered a problem.


    After the two left the cruise on brooms, Jiuge said, ¡°Accelerate.¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded.


    Jiuge disappeared.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe realize the difference between her rookie equipment and that of a boss.


    She got her broom through a raffle. Although it was worth 50 points, it was only designed for transportation. Jiuge¡¯s magic broom was a professional flying tool with a speed of up to 120 kilometers per hour.


    Because of this, as soon as the two accelerated, Jiuge completely disappeared from view.


    It wasn¡¯t until half an hour later that Jiuge turned back.


    Lin Xinghe rode a magic broom with the bright moon and the glittering sea behind her. She looked at Jiuge faintly and said, ¡°My broom is not as fast as yours¡­¡±


    Jiuge pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Sit behind me.¡±


    Lin Xinghe got on Jiuge¡¯s broom.


    Jiuge asked her, ¡°Ready?¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded.


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°Meow.¡±


    Before she finished speaking, Lin Xinghe felt the wind claw at her violently, as if it were about to smash her body onto the sea. She couldn¡¯t open her eyes at all, and she could only grip tightly to the broom with both hands, narrowly escaping an untimely death several times.


    After half an hour, Jiuge finally stopped.

 CH 40.2

    ¡°It should be around here,¡± he said.


    Then, he took out the undersea protective hair mask he bought from Mona for a high price, put it on, turned his head, and saw Lin Xinghe¡¯s black and beautiful soft hair frizzing into a lion¡¯s mane, revealing her entire face. Xiao Xue Ji had turned into an ant and hid in Lin Xinghe¡¯s pocket for the ride. At this moment, she crawled out and changed back into a cat, and her fur also frizzed.


    Jiuge said, ¡°You two really have a lot of hair. I¡¯m envious.¡±


    Lin Xinghe pulled back her hair and tied it into a high ponytail. She said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m going in.¡±


    She jumped off the broom and dived into the sea.


    Xiao Xue Ji immediately turned into a green snake and slithered into the sea.


    Jiuge stored his broom away and followed closely behind.


    Although they didn¡¯t know the exact location of the hadal ogre¡¯s palace, they stopped at the place where the hadal ogres boarded the cruise. Their lair was likely down below.


    Thanks to Mona¡¯s black magic potion, Lin Xinghe felt like she had grown gills and didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable swimming in the sea. Xiao Xue Ji had a great time at the bottom of the sea, and the marine creatures swimming around her also expanded her range of illusions.


    When Xiao Xue Ji first dove into the sea, she was still a green snake. In a short period of time, she had already changed into several different lifeforms and finally turned into a colorful clown fish, swimming happily around Lin Xinghe.


    The scenery of the seabed was no less stunning than that which was on land.


    Lin Xinghe admired the magnificent scenery of the seabed all the way to the bottom.


    Just when Jiuge was about to say that wandering around like this was not a good plan, he saw that Lin Xinghe was swept away in a rapid current.


    When Jiuge followed Lin Xinghe to rescue her, he found that she was standing behind a reef structure with half of her head poking out, looking away from him.


    Jiuge followed her line of sight.


    The palace in the painting of the bride stood grandly in front of the two of them.


    Jiuge calmed down.


    Sure enough, there was no need to worry about Lin Xinghe, since she was blessed with luck.


    Jiuge swam behind Lin Xinghe, and did not poke his head out with Lin Xinghe to look at the palace under the sea. He huddled in the corner, quietly acting as a shield.


    The underwater palace was grandiose; strands of large, lustrous pearls were embedded in the walls at regular intervals, gently illuminating the faintly glowing sides of the palace. Priceless jewels were inlaid amongst the pearls, and fancily patterned shells dotted the borders. Colorful corals were planted on all sides of the palace, and huge sea turtles guarded the entrance.


    Lin Xinghe compared the current scenery to the painting and found that there were still important differences between the two.


    The fields around the path leading up to the palace in the painting were full of white roses, while the fields here didn¡¯t even have a shadow of seaweed, let alone roses.


    It was also at this time that a huge creature walked out of the palace gate. He was three or four meters high and looked like a human, but his whole body was green except for his head. His head was ivory white, and his hair was so untinted and translucent, it was more ocean-blue than white.


    He and the turtles at the entrance of the palace communicated to each other in an unknown language, and the creature left the palace without discovering Lin Xinghe and the others.


    After he left, Lin Xinghe lowered her head and whisper-bubbled to Xiao Xue Ji.


    After speaking, Xiao Xue Ji twisted her tail once and swam into the distance.


    Not long after, an hadal ogre returned.


    This time, the hadal ogre seemed a little clumsy. Walking on the seafloor, he stumbled a few times and almost fell to the ground. But soon, he mastered walking and standing and stood firm.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe pulled Jiuge around the reef and walked towards the hadal ogre.


    The hadal ogre- Xiao Xue Ji ¨C carried one in each hand and walked to the door of the palace.


    ¡¾Is this a hadal ogre? Gosh, I want to lament Lilith¡¯s taste, how did she fall in love with a hadal ogre? ¡¿


    ¡¾Actually, I am more curious about the bedroom life of Lilith and the hadal ogre chief? How did they? ¡¿


    ¡¾How can people think of these things?? ¡¿


    ¡¾Stop talking, I won¡¯t be able to look at the hadal ogres in the same way. ¡¿


    ¡¾I just want to know what Lin Xinghe¡¯s gonna do after sneaking in! ¡¿


    The two giant turtles at the gate of the palace seemed a little surprised. They glanced at the two humans on the shoulders of the hadal ogre and lowered their heads to open the gate.


    Lin Xinghe and Jiuge successfully infiltrated the stronghold.


    There was a wide road inside.


    There were four tall statues on either side of the path. Each side had a couple, the man wearing an emperor¡¯s crown and the woman an empress¡¯s diadem. The names of the statues were also engraved underneath: Anthony I and Lilith on the left, Anthony II and Ma Xiaomei on the right.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the two statues wearing crowns. Probably because the sculptures were all the same color, she couldn¡¯t tell the difference between the turned humans and the hadal ogres. But the monuments were lifelike, and the two human beings were beautiful and delicate.


    Cutting across the wide path, there was a fountain, if fountains could be called that underwater. Warm jets of water and bubbles sprayed from several large, bright pearls laid out on the seabed. Surrounding the Pearl Fountains was an underwater flower bed, which was colorful, although Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know what species were in there.


    In the distance, two hadal ogres discussed something loudly.

 CH 40.3

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 40.3


    Lin Xinghe found that the language they spoke was not the hadal ogre language she imagined, full of harsh grunts and whale calls, but rather a language she could understand. They spoke very fluently.


    "The chief can''t go on like this."


    "It was Chief Anthony I and Lord Lilith who have given us great strength and a prosperous environment. Without them, we would not be where we are today. We should all obey the prophecies and commandments left by the two founders."


    "Although human beings are short and fragile, through turning, they can also become very powerful. Why is the chief so resistant to marrying a human bride? Why does the chief hate humans so much? The chief is also descended from humans."


    "It''s been a long time since our chief has been on The Alpine Rimerose. What if there is a suitable bride?"


    "Ah, if this continues, will our clansmen not be blessed by God?"


    "I''m really worried about the chief."


    "We should have stood up to stop the chief when he destroyed the divine room..."


    "Humans are so fragile, and human women are even more delicate. Without the complete protection of the divine room, I am worried about whether they will survive the first seven days."


    At this time, one of the giants saw Xiao Xue Ji and noticed the two humans it was carrying. He only glanced at it and said, "Going to hunt game nearby again? Why didn¡¯t you kill them and bring back the souls? Human bodies smell fishy. Human souls are so fragrant, so why do the bodies smell so fishy? If the body were also fragrant, I could savor their meat with their souls¡­¡±


    Another giant said, "Stop talking about it, I¡¯m hungry now. The Alpine Rimerose will arrive in a few days. I¡¯ll take the initiative to register for the slaughter and have a full meal."


    The giant said to Xiao Xue Ji, "Hurry up and deal with it, the leader will be back in a while, and he will be angry when he sees a living human in the palace."


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Xiao Xue Ji carried the two of them to the other side. After walking far away, Lin Xinghe whispered something to Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded again.


    Jiuge was carried on Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s back and didn''t even have to walk, so he relaxed his eyes.


    Suddenly, something caught his eye.


    He saw that Xiao Xue Ji''s hair was slowly changing color. Although the color of its hair had been white before, it was relatively rough, but now it had become more delicate, and the white color became more translucent and revealed the color of the ocean behind it.


    Jiuge marveled at Xiao Xue Ji''s learning ability in his heart. He heard that Xiao Xue Ji became this powerful after eating the Jinwudan in Xie Wuan''s portable space...


    He wondered if there was a miracle pill in Xie Wuan''s collection to keep his hair from falling out...


    If there were, he would want to buy one.


    Jiuge got caught in his thoughts and didn''t pay attention to what Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji were muttering about. He only realized that Xiao Xue Ji continued to walk.


    "Jiuge."


    "¡­¡­¡­ Huh?"


    "I need you to do me a favor. It might be a little complicated, but it shouldn''t be difficult for you."


    Jiuge came back to his senses and found that Xiao Xue Ji was no longer a hadal ogre. It had turned back into a huge green snake, coiled around Lin Xinghe, and seemed very curious about the surroundings, looking left and right.


    Jiuge asked, "What do you need help with?"


    Lin Xinghe whispered something in his ear, her voice pitched so low the people watching the livestreams couldn''t hear it at all. Jiuge''s face contorted, but after a while, he grit his teeth and agreed.


    Then Jiuge took out nearly a hundred hairs from the storage ring, and weaved them into a three-meter-high dog head and put it on Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe stepped over the threshold and entered the main hall in a grand manner.


    Jiuge followed her in.


    There was no one in the main hall.


    After a long time, a cold voice sounded.


    "Why did you trespass into this chief''s palace?"


    The hadal ogre was four meters tall and extremely huge.


    However, even though that was the case, Lin Xinghe with the huge dog''s head on top was 4.6 meters tall. She said calmly, "So, the palace of you hadal ogres is only like this. If the defense were stronger, how would I have gotten in? Don''t be nervous, please allow me to introduce myself, I am the King of the South Seas, Barbaros."


    ¡¾Oops! My rice spewed out from my mouth. ¡¿


    ¡¾What the hell is this dog-head for? ? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾I, Lin Xinghe, the king of bullshit. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hadal ogres run fast, she is not Barbaros, the King of the South Seas, she is the Fire Maiden! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe: No, I am now the King of the South Seas, the dog-headed king. ¡¿


    ¡¾Why is this host¡¯s exam room so funny hahahahahahahahaha ¡¿


    ¡¾Other candidates are still trying to figure out what an alpine rimerose is, while SL has already reached out to the chief of the hadal ogres kekw. ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge: Two-thirds of the body of Sea King Barbaros actually should be credited to me. ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge: One day, my hair will be able to build a country. ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge, don''t cry, be strong! You are also now also a subject of Sea King Barbaros! ¡¿

 CH 41.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 41.1


    "Barbaros, King of the South Seas? Never heard of him. Drag him out to feed the fish!"


    The chief ordered ruthlessly.


    Lin ¡°Barbaros, King of the South Seas¡± Xinghe calmly said, "Hm..."


    Her voice was as mocking as could be.


    She added condescendingly, "I thought that the hadal ogres were so powerful, but in actuality, they¡¯re just so-so. When our clan annihilates human beings and occupies the land, becoming the overlord of land and sea, you will surely regret your near-sightedness today."


    She snorted and turned around.


    "The world is huge, and there are wonders you haven¡¯t seen. My tribe has been entrenched in the South Seas for thousands of years. But your tribe of hadal ogres are ignorant, standoffish, and rude. They are ruled by nothing but brute force. This king''s spies were blind."


    She sashayed to the door of the palace.


    Barbaros-Jiuge and Barbaros-Xiao Xue Ji also followed her.


    Lin Xinghe''s words were quite imposing.


    The two hadal ogres who came to capture Barbaros hesitated.


    The hadal ogres only occupied a tiny piece of the ocean. Their civilization had only lasted for a century, and during that time, they had been busy building their ranks, growing and storing food, and constructing infrastructure to be able to stand their ground. Naturally, they had no extra time or resources to explore the unknown seas.


    Even their language and tribal system were established by their great ancestors King Anthony I and Queen Lilith.


    Now that they saw foreigners with diplomatic intentions, they felt that it was a breath of fresh air.


    The leader, Anthony III, was also hesitant at the moment, but unlike other hadal ogres, what attracted him more was the desire of Sea King Barbaros - annihilation of mankind.


    He commanded, "Wait."


    Lin Xinghe stopped moving forward but didn¡¯t turn around. The huge dog head made her look very cold and tall.


    This negotiation was actually no different from bargaining in the vegetable market. As long as the other party had a hint of concession, they would retreat and Lin Xinghe could advance. It meant whoever conceded lost.


    Taking advantage of her height, Lin Xinghe peered at the two hadal ogres in front of her and said coldly, "This is how you hadal ogres treat guests?"


    Being stared at by the huge dog head, the hadal ogres felt a sense of oppression.


    After all, they had never seen such a creature. Maybe they had seen a cute pet Chihuahua or something like that on the cruise, but the sheer magnitude of the head was intimidating.


    So five minutes later, the stowaways became the guests of the hadal ogre tribe.


    Inside the splendid main hall-


    The distinguished guest of the hadal ogre tribe sat upon the clamshell chair and chatted with Anthony III¡ª


    "We have completed the transformation of rural tribes into kingdoms. In addition to our tribe, our Barbaros tribe also communicates with outsiders, who are willing to be annexed when they see the prosperity of our country."


    "...We have a unified currency and a unified language in the South China Sea. I am proficient in various foreign languages. I have only learned this human language recently. My grasp of it is quite natural, right?"


    "...%&#%#%#%%#%," Lin ¡°King of Bullshit¡± Xinghe said. "This is the language of the South Seas, and it means that you are welcome to come to my country as a guest."


    "...We Barbarossians also have a profound cultural heritage. The Egyptian civilization, one of the four ancient countries on the land, is the origin of our country, Barbaros. We belong to the branch of Anubis, the god of death. Anubis is the guide and guardian of the undead, and later, in order to protect the souls of the ocean, he was divided into two parts, one half guarding the undead on land, and the other half guarding the souls in the ocean."


    In the main hall, in addition to Anthony III, there were several hadal ogres guarding the door.


    They overheard the words of Sea King Barbaros, felt the boundless knowledge of the erudite Sea King Barbaros, and actually yearned for the kingdom of Barbaros.


    Anthony III listened in silence, his expression unchanging.


    Lin Xinghe observed it. After a pause, she changed her tone and said, "This is also the reason why this king came to your tribe of hadal ogres. I wonder if the chief is interested in the human annihilation plan?"


    Anthony III said, "Tell me about it."


    Lin Xinghe explained, "Originally, our country of Barbaros was at the bottom of the sea, and had nothing to do with the land. They were their own kings, but now the greedy and stupid humans dare to extend their evil hands to our ocean and destroy our environment. All the species on our seabed should unite as one to resist the land dwellers, annihilate human beings, and exchange for a larger living environment. Our target is not only the ocean, but also the land, and the stars!"


    She spoke loudly and passionately.


    Anthony III''s expression still did not waver. He raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Isn''t that human behind you?"


    Anthony pointed to Jiuge.


    Lin Xinghe said, "This is the essence of my plan!"


    She stood up and announced to Anthony III, "Please allow me to introduce you to the secret weapon of our country of Barbaros. I call it the Sea Man. He is indeed human, but after the transformation by our technology, with which we planted the Orb of Barbaros in his body, he has lost his five human senses and became a walking corpse that will do my every bidding.."


    She commanded Jiuge, "Stand over here and show your ability to the chief."


    Sea Man-Jiuge was very confused, but still he went to the center of the main hall according to Lin Xinghe''s words.

 CH 41.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 41.2


    She said, "Raise your left hand."


    The tool man Jiuge raised his left hand.


    She said, "Raise your right hand."


    The tool man Jiuge raised his right hand.


    Lin Xinghe continued, "Of course, these are some of the most basic orders, and some more advanced ones, such as their lives, are also in my hands. They completely obey me. If I make them die, they will die. Chief, please take a look at the secret Orb of Barbaros."


    Lin Xinghe then said to Jiuge, "Orb of Barbaros, come out."


    ¡°Barbaros Sea Man¡± Jiuge cooperated very well. He took out the magic light marble from his storage ring and floated it directly in front of Lin Xinghe. At this moment, the entire main hall was illuminated even brighter.


    Anthony III, who had been expressionless previously, finally showed some interest. He asked, "Is this the secret weapon of Barbaros to make humans obey orders?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes. Orb of Barbaros, let the chief inspect you."


    Tool man Jiuge commanded the light marble to float in front of Anthony III.


    Anthony III looked at the light marble intently, revealing a stunned face.


    Lin Xinghe said, "This is the culmination of the wisdom of us Barbarosans. It can connect the nerves in the human body and even control the blood circulating in their bodies to achieve the effect of command and control."


    Lin Xinghe returned to her seat and said, "Chief of the Hadal Ogres, now we only have one Sea Man. Think about it¡ªwhen we have thousands of Sea Men, they will become our invincible army. We can attack the land, invade human cities, and open up new territories for us. We can create an unprecedentedly prosperous ocean! Our ocean will eventually rule the entire land!"


    Lin Xinghe drew a huge picture for Anthony III.


    Anthony III''s heart was stirring, and he asked, "Why are you looking to work with me?"


    Lin Xinghe asked Jiuge to take back the ball of light, and said, "I heard that you hadal ogres can control the undead of human beings. This coincides with the original culture of Barbaros, and this is what I want to trade with you. Another reason is that one of the materials for making the ball of light requires something unique to the hadal ogres. You can make a lot of them with just a little bit, but I think this should be your tribal treasure. Your Excellency may not be willing to give it to me, so I show my greatest sincerity. When the land is unified, our country of Barbaros is willing to divide it into two with your tribe. You can choose the south or the north, and the rest will be for the tribe of Barbaros. If you don''t trust me, I can give you the hand of the Barbarosan princess to you in holy matrimony. Our tribes can be connected through marriage.¡±


    Lin Xinghe praised the beauty of the princess of Barbaros with a straight face.


    "When she was born, schools of tropical fish surrounded her palace, and even the ferocious sharks swam around her. She became proficient in the eight languages of the South China Sea at the age of one. She learned human languages of the land at the age of two. At the age of three, she defeated the toughest merman warrior of Barbaros. As she grew older, she became more and more like our ancestor Anubis. She is strong, smart, and beautiful, ..."


    Anthony III always felt that human women were weak and incompetent. Now, hearing Lin Xinghe praise a princess of Barbaros who he had never met, her strength, beauty and wisdom deeply attracted his single heart.


    He finally asked, "What unique thing of ours do you need?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "You hadal ogres rarely go out, and I live far away in the South China Sea. Don''t you wonder how I knew of your existence? Not long ago, a mermaid merchant was doing business in Barbaros. He gave me a treasure in a beautiful box, only the size of a fingernail. He collected bits and pieces it for a long time before he got a tiny amount," Lin Xinghe observed the expression of the leader of the hadal ogre through the slit in the dog''s head, and then slowly said, "The mermaid merchant said that it was a priceless treasure to the hadal ogres in the depths of the ocean. It looks like a rose. Do you know of the avalanche rose? A human rose with an ivory tint? He told me the hadal ogres called it the alpine rimerose."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you have any? I don''t need many, just need one."


    ¡¾Fuck! She¡¯s too good! Can she get alpine rimeroses like this? ¡¿


    ¡¾She hasn''t gotten it yet! ¡¿


    ¡¾But I see that the leader of the hadal ogre looks very moved! Seriously! If I were in his place, I would be persuaded to marry a princess, dominate the continent, and get thousands of troops! All in exchange for one rose! Not to mention an alpine rimerose, I would cut off an arm for her! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is sooo good at scamming! I was wondering why she wanted to get a dog head! She can associate herself with the well-documented god Anubis. ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge: I, a Sea Man, don''t have feelings. ¡¿


    ¡¾Stop chatting, I just want to know if the leader of the hadal ogres will agree to Sea King Barbaros! ¡¿


    At this time, Anthony III said, "I need time to think about it."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Alright."


    So, while most of the students in the examination room were still worried about the next second round of massacres, ¡°Barbaros Sea King¡± Lin Xinghe had already moved into the palace of the hadal ogres and become a very honorable, respected Sea King guest.

 CH 42.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 42.1


    The hadal ogre led Lin Xinghe to a palace guesthouse.


    Jiuge and Xiao Xue Ji followed behind.


    Along the way, Lin Xinghe chatted with the hadal ogre.


    She even learned that the hadal ogre''s name was Wendy.


    "Your name in Barbarosian is pronounced ##%."


    Wendy seemed delighted, repeating it, then a new sentence: "#%#%#@#%#."


    Lin Xinghe said with a straight face, "Oh, my! You are really talented in languages! You speak Barbarosian very well, #%%@#%#%, this is a compliment for your intelligence."


    Wendy repeated it perfectly.


    Lin Xinghe praised Wendy sincerely again.


    Wendy warmly sent Lin Xinghe to the door of the guesthouse and said to her, "His Royal Highness Barbaros Sea King, you can call me at any time if you need anything."


    The palace door closed.


    Jiuge, who had been silent the whole time, asked Lin Xinghe, "Do you really understand the language of the South Seas?"


    Lin Xinghe said confidently: "Of course I don''t understand. I''m just an ordinary mortal. I have to rely on fantasy potions to go into the sea. How can I know any South Seas language?"


    Lin Xinghe continued, "The essence of nonsense is to believe that you are right. No matter whether you have something or not, you have to say it. Whether it is right or not, I am right when you believe me!"


    Jiuge pondered and concluded,  "...I admire that.¡±


    Lin Xinghe told him, "Take a rest, we will go out for a walk later and chat with them to integrate ourselves. We need the information. I¡¯ll need you to continue to be a Sea Man."


    Jiuge asked,  "...Do I need to speak?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "No, just do some simple motions. Or you can do stunts that surprise them and show off your skills."


    Jiuge: "...I can make my hair line up like ¡°Ò»¡± and ¡°ÈË¡± for a while..."*


    Lin Xinghe happily decided, "Okay, this one¡¯s good!"


    Next, Lin Xinghe took the toolpeople Jiu Ge and Xiao Xue Ji to make a grand entrance into the hadal ogre palace. Wendy greeted them warmly and introduced them to every hadal ogre they met on the way. The sea king from Barbaros was the guest of honor.


    Although Lin Xinghe was petite, she had the Jiuge-brand ¡°Super Fierce Dog Head¡± as well as the advantage in height, coupled with her South Seas exotic culture and friendly gifts of South Seas specialties¡ª¡ª the dog head woven by Jiuge''s hair quickly captured the hearts of the hadal ogres.


    Under the subtle manipulations of Lin Xinghe, the hadal ogres revealed, "Our hadal ogre tribe does not have as long a history as Barbaros. A hundred years ago, all of the creatures on the sea floor were stronger than us. Later, our great chief, Anthony I, under the guidance of the gods, became stronger and gradually established the current tribe. Later, our founder Anthony I met Queen Lilith, and our tribe became more and more prosperous... ¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, "The gods¡¯ guidance? Oh, my friend, is it like Anubis of Barbaros?"


    The hadal ogres said proudly, "No, Anthony I had an epiphany while on an adventure, which was a gift from the gods."


    "What kind of epiphany?"


    The hadal ogre replied, "This is the secret of our tribe and cannot be told to outsiders."


    Lin Xinghe could roughly guess what the secret was after interrogating the captain and Steward Lin about the alpine rimerose.


    According to what the hadal ogres said, the previous hadal ogres were the weakest creatures until Anthony I rescued the ghost ship, devoured the souls of some cruise employees, and gained powerful strength. But the hadal ogres couldn¡¯t leave the ocean, and their strength would be weakened if they left the ocean, so they sent the cruise as a fresh human soul delivery vessel.


    Because of this, the tribe of hadal ogres gradually became stronger.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t ask any more questions, and she brought up Princess Mary Su of Barbaros, mentioning her potential marriage into the hadal ogre tribe. She showed a monarch¡¯s worry about her daughter''s future partner.


    When the princess married into a tribe, the only person who she could marry was the chief.


    Unexpectedly, when the hadal ogres heard this, their expressions turned dark, clearly signaling that they did not agree to this betrothal.


    Lin Xinghe was good at observation, so she asked unhappily, "The princess of Barbaros is beautiful and powerful, isn''t she worthy of your chief?"


    "Of course, it''s just a rule left by our hadal ogres since ancient times, the chief must marry a human."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Why?"


    "Our tribes¡¯ female chiefs were all human."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "But when I looked at the sculptures in your palace, they don''t look like humans..."


    "After humans marry our chiefs, they will be turned, and the children born with the turned humans will have stronger powers."


    Lin Xinghe retorted, "How do you know that the children born with the princess of Barbaros will not be stronger?"


    The hadal ogres couldn''t answer her.


    Lin Xinghe carefully stated, "But I think your chief seems to be very interested in the princess of Barbaros..."


    Their faces turned dark again.


    Lin Xinghe continued, "But you don''t seem to be willing. If you can convince me of why not, I can consider not marrying the princess in..."


    One of the hadal ogres said, "Our chief is not gentle enough, he¡¯s short-tempered and capricious."


    "Yes, the chief¡¯s temper is becoming more and more elusive."

 CH 42.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 42.2


    "Yes, yes, I heard from the elders in the tribe that our chief is most rebellious. He isn¡¯t suitable for your princess to marry."


    "Well, yes, it''s not suitable, His Royal Highness Sea King, please don''t let your princess marry him. Our chief doesn''t sweet-talk people, and he has a mighty bad temper."


    Lin Xinghe never expected that this group of hadal ogres would be so resistant to marrying off their chief to a non-human that they would talk ill of their chief.


    She collected all that information and gave them the Jiuge specialties before expressing her sleepiness to Wendy.


    Wendy said they could go back.


    Lin Xinghe said to Wendy on the road, "Our country of Barbaros pays attention to treating each other equally. How many of you are there? I will prepare the remaining specialties."


    Wendy replied, "Not many, just nine people left."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, I understand."


    Wendy hesitated.


    Lin Xinghe coaxed, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."


    Wendy sighed and revealed, "Actually, our chief was not like this before. He had been looking forward to marrying a human bride, but one day, he suddenly smashed the sculptures of the two chiefs'' wives and began to hate humans. But not all the time. Sometimes he said he wanted to marry a human bride, but sometimes he said he wanted to kill all humans."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What happened?"


    Wendy replied, "None of us know. Some people asked the chief, but he didn''t answer. Since then, the chief has either stayed in the forbidden area or gone out, so we rarely see him stay in the palace for a long time."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What is the forbidden area?"


    Wendy didn''t say much, only admitting, "It''s a place where only the chief can go."


    Not long after, they reached the guesthouse.


    As soon as the door closed, Jiuge had already slumped over on the chair.


    Seeing Lin Xinghe''s strong communication skills, he didn''t want to say anything anymore and only wanted to continue to be a shield quietly.


    Lin Xinghe asked Jiuge, "How many specialties did you give away in total?"


    Jiuge cut one hair into a dozen sections to make his specialties. After hearing Lin Xinghe''s question, he zoned out for a while before he said, "Twenty-eight."


    Lin Xinghe did the math and murmured, "That''s not right, is my guess wrong?"


    Jiuge asked, "What guess?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "Didn''t you realize that the hadal ogre''s color scheme looks a lot like that of alpine rimeroses? But now, you gave out 28 specialties. Including Anthony III and the 9 people who weren¡¯t there tonight, there are only 38 hadal ogres. This doesn''t match the number of roses from the exam prompt, remember? There are supposed to be fifty alpine rimeroses."


    Lin Xinghe fell into deep thought.


    Suddenly, she blurted out,  "Wendy took us around their palace, but there was one place that they didn''t take us to, which must be the forbidden area of their hadal ogres. This kind of place is usually hidden. I have to go and spy on them."


    She thoughtfully said to Jiuge: "Jiuge, you don''t have to go with me, Xiao Xue Ji and I will go. But I need you to help me take off this hood for a while, it''s too huge and conspicuous, it''s not suitable for sleuthing. I''m going to find out if Anthony III will be in the forbidden area first."


    Jiuge had no objection.


    Soon, Lin Xinghe dug out the information.


    Anthony III would be resting in his bedroom.


    So, after the hadal ogres were all asleep, Lin Xinghe, who had taken off the huge dog''s head, quietly went out with Xiao Xue Ji.


    There were no hadal ogres guarding the forbidden area.


    Lin Xinghe was a little confused at first because this kind of place should generally be guarded by heavy troops. Soon, Lin Xinghe discovered the reason no one was there. The structure of the entrance to the forbidden area was exactly the same as the cruise ship¡¯s safe room, called the god room by the hadal ogres. It was made of metal unique to the deep sea, and only the chiefs of the hadal ogres could enter.


    ... No wonder there weren¡¯t any people guarding it.


    Lin Xinghe stood at the entrance.


    She looked up at the gate of the forbidden area and tilted her head slightly.


    After a while, she asked Xiao Xue Ji, "Can you become Anthony III?"


    Xiao Xue Ji swayed her body in the water, as if thinking.


    She slowly changed into the appearance of Anthony III.


    She kept revising from memory.


    Lin Xinghe was actually a little bad with faces. As far as she was concerned, she felt that the hadal ogres all looked alike, with green bodies and white heads. It''s probably because they were of different races, so the hadal ogres didn¡¯t seem distinctive to her.


    But Xiao Xue Ji was very talented and rigorous in this regard.


    She only stopped when she felt impeccably similar to Anthony III.


    Then, she looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, "You stand at the door and try."


    ... Since only the chief of the hadal ogres could enter, it meant that this place was locked. Maybe it was based on face identification, it was a good place to start.


    It was a pity that there was no response from the entrance of the forbidden area.


    Xiao Xue Ji failed to pass the face identification.

 CH 43

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 43


    Lin Xinghe fell into thought again.


    Soon, she found that her thinking was caused by the abyssal goliaths¡¯ misconception


    The group of hadal ogres said, "Only the chief can enter."


    The staff on the cruise also said, "We can''t get in."


    But people could go in.


    The forbidden area and the safe space on the cruise ship were guarded against ghosts and other hadal ogres, but not against humans. After impersonating a Sea King for so long, Lin Xinghe almost forgot she was a human being.


    In other words, as long as she could break the lock of the forbidden area, she could enter.


    Lin Xinghe sighed. Sure enough, she hadn''t slept for so long that her brain almost stopped turning. Thinking about it carefully, she realized that she hadn''t slept in the last 24 hours.


    Lin Xinghe took a few steps back, trying to find a place to open the door.


    However, there were only two heavy, tightly-shut black iron doors in the forbidden area.


    Lin Xinghe pushed, but the doors did not budge.


    Xiao Xue Ji had already changed back to a green snake, angling her head against the door, but unfortunately it did not move.


    Lin Xinghe guessed that there was a special way to open the door.


    But she couldn¡¯t come up with anything, so she had to give up.


    At this time, she found that there were several colorful corals planted around the forbidden area, and one of the coral clusters was particularly short, forming a clear contrast with the other corals.


    Lin Xinghe walked over and examined it carefully.


    She tried to rotate the coral, and unexpectedly, the door to the forbidden area opened in response.


    ¡¾WTF? This works too? ¡¿


    ¡¾Sorry, Lin Xinghe has been a sea king for too long, I almost forgot that she still has the attributes of the EE. ¡¿


    ¡¾In the hands of the EE, the gate of a forbidden area is the kind that can be opened casually. ¡¿


    ¡¾Well, it¡¯s actually not like she was just opening it casually. the sect leader still carefully observed the surroundings and found something strange in the coral clusters. Anyway, I wouldn¡¯t have found a way to open the door. I think the sect leader is just that type of person, not only EE but also super smart. Respect!¡¿


    ¡¾I''m afraid that EE will be the master of the school, she can rely on luck to do all the exams, but she also has the ability. ¡¿


    ¡¾Don''t frivolously deny the sect leader¡¯s contributions! Think about it carefully¡­ the sect leader is working hard and earnestly in the exam. She hasn''t slept for a long time. When I slept, the sect leader was preparing to go to sea on the cruise. When I woke up, the sect leader was riding a magic broom in the air with Jiuge. When I went to sleep and woke up again, the sect leader became the Sea King of Barbaros! ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe was overjoyed, carefully observing her surroundings, and confirmed that she was safe before entering with Xiao Xue Ji.


    Unexpectedly, the door was an automatic door, and when she entered, the door slammed shut behind her.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe entered, the sights dazzled her eyes.


    Unexpectedly, the area was full of golden gold and all kinds of jewelry, piled up into mountains one after another. Lin Xinghe almost suffocated, facing such magnificent wealth for the first time.


    However, soon, a voice outside pulled Lin Xinghe back into her body.


    ...Someone was coming.


    Lin Xinghe quickly hid behind a mountain of gold coins. Xiao Xue Ji cleverly turned into a little fish and swam behind Lin Xinghe.


    After a while, Anthony III came in.


    He ignored the piles of gold and jewels and walked straight to an inconspicuous treasure chest. He took out another small box from inside. From Lin Xinghe''s angle, she could only get a glimpse of its contents, but she saw Anthony III holding a small box and sitting directly on a pile of gold.


    Then, he began to drift off, staring off at nothing for a while, and glaring at the small box for a while.


    He seemed to be in a cycle of depression and mania. He grabbed a pile of finely beaded jewelry and tore it apart. All kinds of gems, shape and color, size and weight, fell like big beads and small beads onto a jade plate. On the gold coins, the jewels made a strange sound when they collided.


    After a long time, he cursed, "Damn humans."


    Then, he put the small box back in its place.


    Lin Xinghe felt that Anthony III was like a mental patient.


    After Anthony III left, she went to look at the small box in the treasure chest. The small box looked very simple in the piles of bright and gorgeous jewelry, just an ordinary iron box.


    There were two half-globes in the box, one light and one dim.


    Lin Xinghe lightly touched the dim hemisphere and it instantly lit up, while the lit hemisphere dimmed.


    She was stunned for a moment, but without thinking about the reason, she simply put the two hemispheres back in the box.


    She then put the iron box back and left the forbidden area.


    When she returned to the palace guesthouse, Lin Xinghe found that Jiuge was wearing the huge dog head. He was wrapped in a lush quilt, sitting on the spacious shell bed.


    At first glance, Lin Xinghe only saw a huge dog head on the bed.


    "...Jiuge?"


    Jiuge finally took off the dog''s head and said, "The chief of the hadal ogre just sent someone over to come looking for you. You weren¡¯t here, so I could only pretend to be you. Wendy didn''t see through the ruse."


    Jiuge put the head on Lin Xinghe and continued, "I told them you were cleaning up and would head down soon. It''s about time now."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, I''ll go over by myself. Just stay here. You can rest well. It''s easy to lose your hair if you stay up all night."


    Jiuge instantly warmed up, and he couldn''t help but look at Lin Xinghe a few more times.


    A pity that she was wearing a huge dog''s head and he couldn¡¯t see her expression, the dog head woven from his thick, strong hair in the way.


    Jiuge said solemnly, "You are the first person to think about my hair so much. If you need Rudolph''s help in the future, just call for me and I¡¯ll come."


    Lin Xinghe took Xiao Xue Ji, who turned back to a green snake, to find Anthony III.


    Anthony III was in the main hall, which was different from before. At this time, two tables were set up inside, and some wine and dishes were placed on the table. Anthony III appeared to not be the same person, or rather ogre, as he was in the forbidden area before. He was more majestic and his presence looked demanding now.


    After Lin Xinghe sat down, she took a closer look at the wine and food on the table and realized that it was no different from wine on land. It was probably influenced by Lilith and Ma Xiaomei.


    She pondered a little and did not ask Anthony III if he had considered the ball of light nonsense, rather asking him with a smile, "How is your drinking?"


    Anthony III liked the wine of human beings. He could drink up to a thousand glasses and had  always been proud of the amount of alcohol he could assume. Hearing Lin Xinghe''s challenge, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "There is no creature on the seafloor that can outdrink me."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "This king is also very good at drinking. No one has ever been able to drink me down. Let¡¯s have a competition?"


    "Compete!"


    Without a word, Lin Xinghe picked up the wine glass and poured wine into the dog head with pride.


    After all, the dog head was three meters high.


    No matter how good Anthony III''s drinking capacity was, he did not have a three-meter stomach.


    An hour later, when Anthony III saw the amount of alcohol that Barbaros, King of the South Seas, could stomach, he was immediately impressed.

 CH 44.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 44.1


    Lin Xinghe was very grateful to Jiuge for his huge dog head.


    The three-meter-high head, even if it was hollow inside, was quite heavy, but because they were at the bottom of the sea, gravity wasn¡¯t as strong.


    In order to make it easier for her to see the outside view, Jiuge dug two small holes.


    Jiuge''s hair was indestructible.


    But after all, they were at the bottom of the sea, surrounded by seawater. Because there were holes, the dog head was actually full of seawater. However, Lin Xinghe had consumed Mona''s potion, which meant that she had invisible gills, which allowed her to breathe freely and filtered the sea water.


    So neither soaking in the seawater nor soaking in the wine were any different.


    Lin Xinghe held up the wine glass again and marveled at the novelty of the hadal ogres¡¯ diet.


    When she entered the main hall, she was actually a little puzzled when she saw a table of wine and food.


    As a land person, she couldn¡¯t imagine how eating and drinking at the bottom of the sea floor worked. Wouldn¡¯t the food and wine be soaked in the sea?


    When she sat down, the feast in front of her gave her the answer.


    The dishes, wine glasses and wine jars were specially made, and the wine and food contained in them were free from the existence of Newton''s laws.


    As for why, it might be the setting of this examination room, or it might be that Lilith had a golden finger. In short, she could live a life similar to that on land, but under the sea.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t plan to eat and kept pouring wine into the dog mouth, occasionally stuffing some side dishes into it.


    After a long time, Lin Xinghe felt that her head was like a wine barrel.


    Occasionally, peanuts floated in front of her eyes along the current. Lin Xinghe could only blow at them gently to redirect them. When they floated to the dog mouth, Lin Xinghe had to shake her head to prevent them from drifting out.


    After all, it was peanuts, not wine.


    It was weird to have peanuts wafting out of your mouth.


    As for wine, it didn¡¯t matter.


    Anyway, the seawater around her would dilue the wine quickly when it floated out. Besides, her dog head itself was full of seawater three meters high. When the wine was mixed with the water inside, it was already diluted, and when it encountered the seawater outside, it was even lighter.


    When Anthony III saw the appearance of Sea King Barbaros eating, he was also wondering where the mouths of those in the Barbaros tribe were. After all, the Barbaros family were alien creatures to him, and their heads were two-thirds of his body length. He couldn¡¯t tell where their mouths were.


    Anthony III was drunk and even started thinking about the future. If he married the beautiful and powerful princess of the Barbaros tribe, how should he kiss? His wife''s head would be so big and tall, shouldn''t he make a special pillow for her? Clothes were easy to make. Judging from the figure of the Sea King, their legs were similar to that of ordinary human beings. Hearing that it was difficult for his mother and grandmother to wear clothes after they were turned into clansmen, Anthony III wanted to be prepared. He remembered that they would be angry at the length of time it took to make their clothes, and also because they didn¡¯t look nice.


    Of course, Anthony III also thought that Sea King Barbaros seemed like a human being, but the ancestor of the Sea King was the Egyptian god Anubis. That god, Anthony III once heard from his mother, was a god with a dog head and a human body. Over thousands of years, it was normal for them to evolve their heads at the bottom of the sea.


    Anthony III automatically came up with a suitable explanation.


    He didn''t even consider that Sea King Barbaros was a fake sea king. After all, no human being could walk freely on the seabed, or come to him so arrogantly to trade, let alone drink happily with him here.


    At this time, Sea King Barbaros sighed and said to him, "I envy Your Excellency''s freedom. My words and deeds have attracted much attention since I was a child. My father, my mother, and queen all tell me what I can do and what I can¡¯t do. Being attacked and pushed back to the end by human beings is something that we also have to deal with. They say let us remember the goodness of our ancestors a thousand years ago, our ancestors blessed human beings, and we should also bless human beings..."


    The Sea King suddenly threw the cup and said loudly, "Why, my ancestors have nothing to do with me! They have attacked me personally, so why can''t I resist? My people still say that I am rebellious."


    These words just touched the heart of Anthony III.


    He said again, "Yes, why, why should I marry a human bride?"


    Lin Xinghe echoed, "Drink this cup, let''s rebel together!"


    Lin Xinghe poured a glass of wine with pride.


    At this moment, Anthony III felt as if he had met a true confidante, and he completely opened his heart.


    He said to Lin Xinghe, "Do you Barbarossans have dreams?" Before Lin Xinghe could answer, he said to himself, "We hadal ogres do, and I have been dreaming the same one for a while."


    "What dream?"


    Anthony III said, "I dreamed that I met a human woman who was imprisoned in my grandmother''s chamber. She was different from all the human women I knew. She was quirky and delicate but not in an offensive way. I brought her to the bottom of the sea and wanted to marry her and turn her into a clansman, but she didn''t want to..."


    Anthony III;s expressions darkened the way it had when he was in the forbidden area.


    Soon, he was grumpy and angry again.


    "She didn¡¯t want to. Not only was she unwilling to marry me, but she also united with outsiders to destroy the hadal ogre clan! They stole the wealth of our clan!"


    Lin Xinghe was stunned.


    ...Bro, it''s just a dream!

 CH 44.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 44.2


    Anthony III stood up impatiently and paced around the room.


    "I can''t marry a human woman! I can''t marry a human woman to be the matriarch of our tribe like my father and grandfather did. I''m going to kill her! I''m going to kill all human beings! No one can take away the wealth of our hadal ogres!"


    His words were getting faster and jumbled, and Lin Xinghe could hardly hear what he was talking about. She only noticed that Anthony III''s expression was very ferocious. It seemed that Anthony III thought his dream had been brought to reality, and he looked a bit like a mental patient.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly thought of the Snow Maiden.


    The Snow Maiden was also mentally disturbed¡ªshe was likely bipolar.


    Were all the bosses in the exam rooms struggling with mental health?


    But after thinking about it, Lin Xinghe realized she could still save the situation. If Anthony III were a cat, then Lin Xinghe would be the one who licked his fur and made him purr on the ground with his belly turned over.


    The two drank wine for a whole night, talked happily about the wine, and swore brotherhood to each other..


    In the end, Lin Xinghe even held the hand of Anthony III and said boldly, "You must be my long-lost brother! In the future, this older brother will take you to eat spicy food!"


    Anthony III: "Older Brother!"


    ¡¾Fortunately, SL was not born in ancient times. If she had encountered a tyrant, she could definitely be the most powerful minister! The tyrant would surely have been coaxed into obedience by her. ¡¿


    ¡¾Have you forgotten SL¡¯s gender? SL must have been a demon concubine in ancient times!¡¿


    ¡¾Pooh! Being a demon concubine is too condescending! The sect leader''s villain attribute is at least a big traitor who dominates the court and the opposition!¡¿


    ¡¾I am more concerned about Anthony III, is he mentally ill? It looks like a mania?¡¿


    ¡¾I think he¡¯s schizophrenic. ¡¿


    ¡¾But y, the bosses that SL encountered were both mentally ill! The Snow Maiden is also mentally ill. Maybe Anthony 3 has dual personality disorder too? One side wants to marry a human, the other wants to kill them? ¡¿


    ¡¾I don''t think it''s a mental illness, aren''t Western fantasy bosses very superstitious? Didn¡¯t that king believe that a certain boy in a prophecy would destroy the country? I think he started a national search to strangle the boy in the cradle? That boy escaped by accident, by coincidence, still killed the king like in the prophecy? ¡¿


    ¡¾This kind of story is indeed quite common in fantasy.¡¿


    ¡¾Actually, there are also these types of stories in Eastern culture too. The incumbent had a dream and thought it was an instruction from the gods. ¡¿


    ¡¾So, I don''t think the chief of the hadal ogre is necessarily mentally disturbed, after all, this type of setting is very common. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe finally outdrank Anthony III.


    Lin Xinghe asked the hadal ogres to take care of their chief. When she got up and left the main hall, the eyes of several hadal ogres were full of admiration.


    When Lin Xinghe returned to the guesthouse, Jiuge had already woken up.


    He helped Lin Xinghe take off the dog head and smelled wine.


    He asked, "Have you been drinking?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "No, your head has been drinking."


    Jiuge:  ¡­


    After a while, Jiuge sighed and said, "Forget it, these hairs can''t be recycled anyway..." Jiuge kept muttering under his breath.


    Lin Xinghe was terribly sleepy and said to Jiuge, "I want to sleep for a while. Call me if anything happens."


    Anthony III had probably never been drunk before. After competing with Lin Xinghe''s three-meter dog head, he was probably dead drunk, so Lin Xinghe had some rest time.


    But after all, it was uncomfortable to sleep at the bottom of the sea.


    Lin Xinghe napped lightly for a while and got up in less than three hours.


    Jiuge was a little surprised.


    "Aren''t you going to sleep more?"


    Lin Xinghe got up and said, "I''ve had enough sleep. I have a theory. Jiuge, can I borrow your magic broom? I''ll leave for a while, and you will pretend to be me and lie on the bed."


    Jiuge didn''t ask for specifics and lent his professional magic broom to Lin Xinghe very cooperatively.


    Lin Xinghe first went to the forbidden area quietly, took the nondescript iron box and left the palace of the hadal ogres with Xiao Xue Ji.


    She rode Jiuge''s magic broom back to the cruise and found Ling Xiran.


    She made the other hemisphere in the iron box light up.


    Ling Xiran looked at it curiously.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe said, "Try to leave the cruise."


    Ling Xiran had tried it before. She couldn''t leave the cruise ship. Like all the ghosts on the ship, she was imprisoned on the ship forever.


    But her master said it was okay to try again.


    And this time, Ling Xiran successfully left the cruise.


    She was shocked.


    Lin Xinghe''s expression remained calm, and she asked Ling Xiran to come over, whispering a little something into her ear.


    Ling Xiran swallowed hard and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.


    Lin Xinghe returned to the bottom of the sea again. She put the iron box back in its original place and returned to the guesthouse where she rested. Wendy knocked on the door just as she put on the giant dog''s head again.


    Wendy brought a tin can about the size of two palms.


    He zealously handed it to Lin Xinghe.


    He said, "Our chief has agreed. This is the treasure of our hadal ogre tribe¡ªthe Alpine Rimerose."

 CH 45.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 45.1


    After Wendy left, Lin Xinghe and Jiuge both gathered in front of the tin can.


    The two looked at the can carefully.


    The iron container was cold to the touch and seemed to be made of some unknown material from the deep sea. When her fingertips touched it, Lin Xinghe felt as if the blood in her fingers had frozen. She endured the coldness and forcibly opened the tin can.


    There really was an alpine rimerose inside.


    It wasn¡¯t a flower. Honestly, it looked more like white meat puree. Maybe because the iron jar  was too cold, there was a thin layer of frost on the meat puree.


    At this time, the proctor¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Xinghe''s head.


    "Congratulations to Lin Xinghe for passing the exam. Because the exam room is not over yet, candidates can choose to leave early or wait until the exam is over. Please obey the rules of the exam room. Candidate scores will be announced after the exam room is closed.¡±


    Two choices popped up on Lin Xinghe''s blue bracelet.


    A: Leave


    B: Stay


    Lin Xinghe chose B without any hesitation.


    ... She had just established a country and hadn¡¯t gotten tired of being Sea King Barbaros yet. Of course, she didn¡¯t want to leave so early, not to mention that she still owed Mona an alpine rimerose.


    Jiuge couldn''t hear the voice in Lin Xinghe''s mind, but he could see Lin Xinghe''s bracelet prompt.


    As an experienced exam taker, he guessed, "This is the alpine rimerose we''re looking for?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes."


    She observed it carefully and said, "I originally had two guesses about the alpine rimeroses. The first was that hadal ogres are the alpine rimeroses themselves. After death, they would become an alpine rimerose, which would be the thing in front of me. The second guess was the alpine rimerose is an alternative marine plant that is unique to the hadal ogres. I originally believed the first one, but the number of hadal ogres does not match¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand to pull out some alpine rimerose, but unexpectedly, it was a little difficult to pull out, flexible and tough.


    She suddenly remembered what the deputy captain on the cruise said, "...I saw Lilith eat it bite by bite with my own eyes, and it took a lot of chewing for each bite before she could swallow it."


    No wonder she swallowed so many times¡ªit seemed that it wasn¡¯t particularly easy to eat.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t succeed in scraping some out, so she gave up and poked it with her fingers. It was really bouncy and elastic, like jelly.


    She asked Jiuge, "What kind of material do you think this is?"


    Jiuge stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch it, but he was a little hesitant.


    Lin Xinghe said, "You can touch it, I don''t mind."


    Jiuge said, "No, I mind. From experience, these things are all created through revolting processes."


    Jiuge ¡°Priss¡± looked at it for a moment and said, "It''s like a liver."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t mind it at all and went to look at it again and again. She treated it like a treasure and said, "I, Sea King Barbaros, for the glory of our tribe, command that no matter how disgusting it is, as long as it is useful, it is a treasure."


    Lin Xinghe thought of something and said, "Unfortunately, this iron can is not portable, and it is even more inconvenient to hold." She looked at Jiuge and said, "How many points did you buy your storage ring for?"


    Jiuge replied, "The supreme luxury storage ring, 2623 points."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Jiuge, you must have discarded the unused storage ring. Can I buy it from you? If I come across a useful anti-hair loss shampoo in the future, I will bring you a few bottles."


    People were all like this.


    The more money you made, the more advanced the things you had in your hands were. Naturally, the old things would become obsolete.


    As a gift to Jiuge, nothing worked better than anti-hair loss shampoo.


    Jiuge took out his current storage ring and rummaged through it. He plucked out a worn out men¡¯s ring, and said, "No need for money, just repay me with that shampoo in the future. Its storage capacity is not small, but it has great limitations. There are five grids, and each grid can hold fifty items, but they must be exactly the same, or else they will be counted as separate grids."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "If I put in a bunch of identical storage containers with different things stuffed in them, do they count as one group of items?"


    Born in the vast and sparsely populated western fantasy world, Jiuge, who had a vast territory and got up every day on a 500-square-meter bed, asked, "What''s a storage container?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "You can understand it as a box."


    Jiuge thought about it and said, "I haven''t tried it, but in theory, if it''s the same thing, it should be fine."


    Lin Xinghe made a mental note that she owed Jiuge a favor and expressed her gratitude.


    She put the storage ring on her hand, but unfortunately Jiuge''s hand was much bigger than hers, and the ring did not fit on any of her fingers and was liable to falling off. If she put it in the pocket of her clothes, it would be easy to lose at the bottom of the sea. After thinking about it, Lin Xinghe asked Jiuge to pull out a hair from the huge dog''s head and lengthen and thicken it again so that she could wear it around her neck as a necklace.


    Lin Xinghe had a storage ring and felt it was really a novelty..


    Jiuge taught her the basics quickly.


    Lin Xinghe immediately put the iron jar containing the alpine rimeroses into the storage ring.


    Once the alpine rimerose entered the storage ring¡ª


    A dialogue box appeared in Lin Xinghe''s head.

 CH 45.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 45.2


    Lin Xinghe recited in her mind ¡°Tin Can Containing an Alpine Rimerose¡± according to what Jiuge had previously taught.


    Soon, she saw that the first section of the storage ring showed a tin can containing an alpine rimerose.


    A new dialog box appeared in her mind.


    <Do you want to enable the automatic identification function?>


    At this time, Jiuge said, "It wants you to enable the automatic identification function, right? Don''t enable it, it costs 1,000 points in the plane mall. I spent 500 points on this ring, but the scamming function is double the price. I also read the instructions behind it. This was a storage ring produced in some Xianxia world. It can only identify universal things, and there is a certain probability that things in our reality cannot be recognized. The identification function of this ring doesn¡¯t exist in the fantasy world. It¡¯s such a ripoff."


    Lin Xinghe still had 1,500 points in the plane mall, which was enough to enable it.


    It was just that after hearing what Jiuge said, she stopped considering it. She also wanted to save more points in the plane mall to buy high-end items.


    Lin Xinghe pondered a little, and went out to find Anthony III again to express her gratitude. She also delivered the message that she would develop the Barbaros Light Ball as soon as possible, and hoped that no one would disturb her during the research and development period.


    Anthony III agreed, treating Lin Xinghe very kindly. The last night''s talk and friendship probably played a role in his behavior.


    After leaving the main hall, Lin Xinghe asked Wendy to take her around the palace again.


    She counted inconspicuously.


    There were also a few hadal ogres that she hadn''t seen yesterday. There were thirty-eight hadal ogres in total, which matched the number Wendy said yesterday.


    She said to Wendy, "The tin can that you put the alpine rimeroses in is very interesting. I touched it and my fingers are still tingling now. Are tin cans like yours precious? If not, I will buy some from you and bring them back to Barbaros to study."


    Wendy said: "Only extreme cold conditions can guarantee the color and effectiveness of the alpine rimeroses, and they are useless if they are not stored properly, so the jars of the alpine rimeroses are custom-made."


    Lin Xinghe understood.


    ... The alpine rimerose was a thing that needed to be kept cold, and this tin can was similar to a small portable refrigerator. That meant, if the refrigerator could reach the temperature inside the tin can, the alpine rimerose could be stored in it.


    After Lin Xinghe went back, she told Jiuge, "We already know what the alpine rimerose looks like. I just went out to take a look. There are a total of thirty-eight hadal ogres, no more and no less. It proves that we can¡¯t get alpine rimeroses just from killing the ogres."


    Jiuge asked, "So¡­?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "I''m wondering where the alpine rimeroses are hidden? They must be valuable and precious to the ogres, so they could only be stored in the forbidden area or the bedroom of Anthony III."


    Jiuge had accompanied Lin Xinghe for a long time, so he was able to roughly understand Lin Xinghe''s meaning. He immediately said, "You have been to the forbidden area. Are you going to the bedroom of Anthony III?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "No, I think there is a high probability that the alpine rimeroses are in the forbidden area."


    Jiuge asked, "Haven''t you already been to the forbidden area?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "Alpine rimeroses are treasures. Are gold and silver jewelry not treasures? If it is not in the bedroom, then it must be somewhere in the forbidden area that I have not discovered. From the room in the cruise ship, we can see that the ogre chief¡¯s style of hiding things is to bury it under a bunch of other stuff. The alpine rimeroses are probably in the pile of gold and silver jewelry."


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe''s eyes fell on the gate of the palace.


    Jiuge followed her line of sight, and he saw a fish the size of a finger swim over. In the blink of an eye, the fish changed back to the appearance of a green snake.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Have you seen it?"


    Xiao Xue Ji shook her head.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Then it¡¯s in the forbidden area."


    After the hadal ogres were all asleep, Lin Xinghe confirmed that Anthony III was not in the forbidden area and then took Xiao Xue Ji there.


    This time, she also borrowed a light bead from Jiuge.


    The forbidden area became bright , and everyone in the live broadcast room could see the treasure inside more clearly.


    ¡¾Hadal ogres are too good at making money! ¡¿


    ¡¾They put gold on the ground like it isn¡¯t even money, but there¡¯s probably enough to create a new country. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is looking for alpine rimeroses, but there are so many boxes, I am afraid they won¡¯t be easy to find...]


    ¡¾Speaking of which, what is the SL doing? ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, it''s been almost five minutes! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ah, the SL has moved! ¡¿


    ¡¾Why did the leader take out the alpine rimerose? To make Xiao Xue Ji track it as a dog? ¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck? Why did the box disappear? What did the SL do? ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe spent 1,000 points to activate the expensive automatic identification function of the storage ring. At the same time, she took out the alpine rimerose. That way, she had five empty slots for five boxes.


    And the storage ring was quickly identifying whether there were alpine rimeroses in it.


    It was worth spending a thousand points.


    The storage ring was extremely efficient, and it could identify the boxes in seconds. The total time for identification, including the time for collecting the box, identifying it, and returning it to its original position, was only a matter of seconds.


    There were about a hundred boxes in total here, in groups of five, twenty groups could be identified at a time. The time was only two hundred seconds at most, which was equivalent to a little over three minutes.


    In less than five minutes, there were twelve identical tin cans neatly placed in front of Lin Xinghe.


    She opened them and saw that each contained an alpine rimerose.


    Lin Xinghe did the math and understood.


    The alpine rimerose fruit really was related to the hadal ogres. There were twelve alpine rimeroses here, plus the 38 hadal ogres that survived, which added up to exactly fifty.


    In other words, her previous guess was actually correct.


    Each hadal ogre was an alpine rimerose.

 CH 46.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 46.1


    As for how they became alpine rimeroses, Lin Xinghe thought that it was possible that the progenitor of the hadal ogre was the alpine rimerose. Maybe after death, they would automatically change back to alpine rimeroses, or their heads would become alpine rimeroses. After all, their bodies were green, like stems and leaves, and the head was like the body of the flower.


    But it was all speculation.


    Specifically, she still needed to find a hadal ogre to do the experiment.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t take away the gold and silver jewelry inside. She only put the alpine rimerose in the storage ring. The identification system of the storage ring also identified a pile of iron jars in the treasure chest of the same material as the containers of the alpine rimeroses.


    Lin Xinghe spent a new grid and put the remaining tin cans in it.


    Storage Ring Notification -


    Number of cans: 38


    Lin Xinghe was thinking about a problem.


    She now had eleven alpine rimeroses, not counting the one that allowed her to pass the test. Of the eleven alpine rimeroses, two roses belonged to Mona and Jiu Ge, and another one belonged to Fu Zhou. She still had eight roses left.


    The exam prompt was to find alpine rimeroses.


    If she found a lot, would there be extra points? If so, how much could be added?


    A conclusion could be drawn from the bonus points in the last exam room. No matter how well she performed in the exam room and how profound her understanding of the exam prompt, the combined score was not as high as the popularity value brought by the interplane livestream.


    In the final analysis, the school was actually a facade. It was a capitalistic platform to show off.


    She wanted points, and no matter how many alpine rimeroses she found, it was better to let her stream gain more popularity on the plane platform.


    As for the gold and jewels in the forbidden area...


    Lin Xinghe thought about it for a while, but she didn''t take them.


    The students in the live room didn''t understand.


    ¡¾Why didn''t the leader take them? Idk¡­ ¡¿


    ¡¾Experience and gold coins dropped by monsters, not taking it is a waste! And SL has a storage ring, so she can hold a few boxes! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, if I were her, I might have left with a lot of money. ¡¿


    ¡¾If you can get so much gold jewelry, even if you don¡¯t get the guaranteed points, it''s worth it. If you have money, you might be able to use it in the next exam room. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe left the forbidden area.


    She went back to find Jiuge.


    Jiuge looked at the alpine rimerose in front of him and asked, "You... found it?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, it''s similar to what I guessed before. Alpine rimeroses are the hadal ogres. There are eleven more in the forbidden area. I''ll give you one."


    Soon, Jiuge also received the notification that he passed the exam.


    Jiuge looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, "Do you want to leave the exam room? It''s okay, you can leave, I can do the rest by myself... By the way, can you make this dog''s head lighter? After you leave, I might need to put it on and take it off myself."


    Jiuge asked, "If the leader of the hadal ogre asks about me, what will you do?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "He doesn''t have time to spare anymore."


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her finger and pointed up.


    "I told Ling Xiran to let the captain speed up. Now the Alpine Rimerose has arrived earlier."


    Jiuge was no longer deliberating.


    He knew about the storyline of the examination room this time courtesy of Lin Xinghe. He contributed a lot. He also played an indispensable role in the country of Barbaros that Lin Xinghe made up. He wasn¡¯t the first to uncover the story line, so he wouldn¡¯t get as many additional  points, but according to his contribution, it was basically guaranteed that he¡¯d get top three in this examination room. Besides, in this examination room, his hair played a very crucial role.


    Because of this, Jiuge was not very willing to continue to stay in this examination room. His hair had been used for too long, and it has been soaked in the sea for nearly 40 hours. He could literally feel the fragility of the hair at this moment¡ª a lot of it could be lost with a single stroke of a brush.


    He bought many anti-hair loss magic potions from the plane shop, most of which were designed for normal people''s hair. For him, who used his hair as a shield, the potions had little effect.


    If his hair was not properly maintained, it would fall out one day, or if he turned old and bald, his only life-saving skill would be lost.


    Jiuge also tried hair extensions, but unfortunately his own defense skills did not support hair extensions, only the hair that grew out of his skull.


    It is precisely because of this that Jiuge cherished his hair so much, and every hair that fell out must be carefully stored away.


    Jiuge said cheerfully, "Okay, then I''ll leave first."


    Lin Xinghe and Jiu Ge waved.


    As soon as Jiuge left, Wendy came to look for Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Wendy said, "My lord, please come over, Your Highness."


    Lin Xinghe let Xiao Xue Ji hide in her pocket before following Wendy to the main hall.


    Lin Xinghe knew what had happened.


    The current hadal ogres had discovered that their cruise ship was occupied by a group of human beings with supernatural abilities. At this moment, a large army must be assembling to rush out of the seabed, infiltrate the cruise ship, destroy the group of human beings, and recapture their ship.


    Presumably, they were calling her to help.


    However, to Lin Xinghe''s surprise, when she saw Anthony III, his expression was a little complicated. His pale face revealed a strange look, and he seemed to be a little happy.


    Anthony III was troubled by dreams.


    The human woman in his dream was the source of the destruction of their clan, and she brought terrible disasters to their clan.

 CH 46.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 46.2


    Those dreams were so real.


    He couldn''t forget the human woman in the dream standing with her kind, looking at him with disdain and saying, "From now on, there will be no such low-level creatures as hadal ogres in the world."


    He dreamed over and over again that all kinds of details made him increasingly anxious.


    He thought it was a precognition dream and that God was warning him.


    He also dreamed that he could not escape such a reincarnation, watching his tribe be destroyed time and time again.


    Until he met Sea King Barbaros.


    There had never been such a paragraph in the dream, there is no Barbaros country, and no supernatural human beings occupied his dear ship.


    He said to Sea King Barbados, "My tribe of hadal ogres has ushered in a turning point in the cycle of fate. Let''s go, future relatives, I will take you to see my most precious treasure. I am willing to marry your daughter. I will kill all the human beings who have fallen off the ship and use the most delicious soul as a dowry."


    Lin Xinghe finally understood where Anthony III''s joy came from.


    ...It seems that his nightmares have had a profound effect on him.


    . . . He desperately wanted to break with the immutable past and present.


    Lin Xinghe guessed that this was the other side of Anthony III. After all, she heard from other hadal ogres that sometimes Anthony III would talk about marrying a human bride.


    Lin Xinghe performed to the tens, and said in a deep voice, "Good!"


    At the same time, all the candidates on the alpine rimerose were ready for the second round of the massacre.


    The people were united like never before!


    The classmates of the ancient department had martial arts, and their bodies were strengthened by the potions purchased from the plane store, forming a small melee team. The fantasy department was good at magic, forming a long-range mage team. Support was distributed in all corners of the team.


    They even had an aerial sector, consisting of a team of Xianxia-style swordsmen and those riding magic brooms.


    Just in case, they also divided a body-less soul team to watch over the ligui staff.


    All the candidates were assigned a position, but neither Jiuge nor Lin Xinghe were found.


    Fu Zhou lied for them.


    "They are holding back their big moves, you all fight to the best of your ability. Jiuge has your back.¡±


    Having said that, Fu Zhou was still feeling lonely.


    Before Jiuge left the examination room, he quietly returned to the cruise ship, told him the situation on the seabed, and also told him that Lin Xinghe left him an alpine rimerose, and he was going to rush back for hair care, goodbye.


    Fu Zhou suddenly felt a sense of being hard carried..


    However, Fu Zhou also had pursuits. Rather than waiting for Lin Xinghe''s alpine rimerose, he might as well kill a hadal ogre himself. In this way, he may be able to get higher points.


    He expended some spiritual energy to create a barrier to protect Ling Xiran''s body, just in case, and carried her back into the dark room of the exhibition hall, freeing Leiting, the wholehearted worshiper of one specific cat.


    Although he was a defensive type, his mount was an attack type.


    He could set up an enchantment, sneak up on a lone hadal ogre, and command Leiting to take its head.


    At this time, a classmate with divination skills from the fantasy department suddenly shouted.


    She said, "I see it! I see it!"


    As soon as this classmate got on the boat, she predicted the two massacres and the silhouette of the dog-headed big boss, which convinced many classmates.


    Some people even asked, "Have you seen it? What kind of monster? Is it the god of Anubis in Egypt? Do the hadal ogres look like this?"


    The fantasy student said, "Oh my god, a three-meter tall dog head!"


    The people around took a deep breath.


    "A three-meter tall dog head, what a huge monster!"


    The fantasy classmate closed her eyes and shouted again, "Oh, my god, I heard someone call that boss Sea King! The hadal ogres look different from the Sea King!"


    The people around took a deep breath.


    "That is to say, in addition to the hadal ogres, do you have to fight the sea king?"


    "This exam room is really S difficulty! Other exam rooms only need to overcome one challenge. In this exam room, if you count the ligui, the hadal ogres, and the sea king, it¡¯s a triple exam!"


    "What should I do if I run out of energy?"


    "Do we need to change our battle plan? We can''t concentrate all the force on the hadal ogres! Generally, big bosses have high attack power and lots of hp! The hadal ogres are at most pre-war side dishes. The big boss!"


    "Yes, the battle plan has to be changed."


    "The battle is imminent! How can we change it?"


    "Disperse the combat power! You can''t put all the combat power on the mobs! You must spread the combat power! Otherwise, after we finish the hadal ogre, we will not have the strength to fight the sea king. It doesn''t matter if you can''t find the alpine rimeroses, at most you won''t get guaranteed points! The most important thing is your life! If you die, you won''t be able to get out of the exam room!"


    "That''s right! The most important thing right now is preserving our lives! What kind of rubbish exam room, what exam prompts? It''s obviously fatal! After two rounds of massacres, you have to fight the final boss! Sea King! As soon as I heard it, I knew that the sea was his territory. How do we fight at sea?"


    At this moment, the blue sky turned dark with the clouds, and turbulent waves suddenly appeared on the sea surface. In the blink of an eye, hurricanes formed one after another. Alongside thunder and lightning, giants with green bodies and white heads emerged from the hurricanes, one by one.


    And in the middle of a group of giants, a giant and strange sea creature with a dog head and human body stood like the moon amidst the stars!


    With the divination of the classmate from the fantasy department, all the candidates including Fu Zhou''s eyes fell on the huge and eye-catching dog head at first sight, so that Anthony III, the great leader of the hadal ogres, the ¡°real final boss¡± of this exam room, was treated like a sidekick.


    A thick bolt of lightning flashed across and illuminated the dark sky. At the same time, it also illuminated Lin Xinghe''s dog head.


    All the students shuddered!


    Under such a well-played scene, they all felt the majesty of the final boss of the exam room!


    All the candidates: Fuck, it''s terrible!


    Fu Zhou who knew the inside story: Fuck!

 CH 47.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 47.1


    ¡¾Fuck? Hahahahahahahahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾lmaooooooooooooo. ¡¿


    ¡¾Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. ¡¿


    ¡¾No, I''m going to die laughing from this livestream. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL has become the biggest boss in this exam room! ¡¿


    ¡¾Boom! The big boss who was foretold by that fantasy classmate is actually our SL! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahaha no, you must go to the livestreams of the other candidates, they have expressed unprecedented fear of SL''s three-meter tall dog head. ¡¿


    ¡¾Some people think that the leader is a mutant, an Anubis on the ocean. ¡¿


    ¡¾They are all thinking about how to attack the head of the leader! ¡¿


    ¡¾Jiuge: My hair is indestructible. ¡¿


    ¡¾Anthony III, the most nonexistent boss in history, setting the stage for the SL! ¡¿


    Gu Taoyao did not miss this live broadcast.


    She found that when her deskmate appeared in the field of vision of all candidates with the actual villain boss of the exam room, many candidates were laughing non-stop. Other messages asked them why they were laughing, and soon someone told them that one of the candidates had saucily become the villain boss of the examination room. In addition, Jiuge left the examination room early. Ninety percent of the people watching his stream flocked to watch Lin Xinghe''s.


    The students in the villain school were all excited to watch, not to mention the audience on the interplane platform.


    The interplane audience would hit the walls for the leader!


    Although this anchor''s livestream was finely detailed, it was also too funny and informal!


    Just when the lightning lit up Lin Xinghe''s dog head, Lin Xinghe''s livestream exploded like a rocket, and her popularity in the interplane streams rose to sixth place.


    What kind of crap was this?


    Xie Wuan, the player Xie Wuan from the Xianxia Department, rushed to the tenth place of popularity during his fifth examination room and then accumulated the rest of his reputation step by step.


    In her first rookie exam room, as a member of the least entertaining and the least popular department, her deskmate climbed to tenth place on the popularity list. Now it was only the second examination room, and her stream had already climbed to sixth place!


    She was built like a dark horse.


    If the first rookie examination room was a coincidence, then the second mixed examination room directly proved her strength!


    Although Gu Taoyao and Lin Xinghe didn''t know each other for that long, at this moment, Gu Taoyao somewhat felt honored! She felt her blood boiling! Maybe the modern department had promise too!


    But at this time, Anthony III saw that the human beings were waiting for the hadal ogres and tried to fight back. He couldn''t help but laugh contemptuously, turned his head and said to Lin Xinghe, "It''s just a bunch of stupid humans who don¡¯t even know what they¡¯re up against. In order to show sincerity, this leader will personally go into battle and capture the souls of this group of humans! Dedicated to the beautiful Princess of Barbaros!"


    Anthony III went out!


    In the countless battles in the past, whenever he came to the battlefield in person, his opponents all trembled! All panicked! Without exception, they would take out their own housekeeping* skills or even their secret weapons!


    However, on this battlefield, Anthony III soon found out that this group of ignorant humans glanced at him lightly and sent a few old and weak soldiers at him with reluctance.


    Anthony III was on the sea, and at a glance, he could see where the core combat power of this group of people was!


    Anthony III felt underestimated, roared, and took out his housekeeping weapon, the ogre¡¯s hammer!


    But the group of humans was still not afraid, and some people even said, "The examination room is so fucked up! The weak mobs are also equipped with weapons!"


    "Don''t be afraid, everyone! If it¡¯s not a big boss, it¡¯s easy to fight! He is standing next to the big boss, he should be an assistant to the big boss or something, so he is equipped with a weapon! The long-range mages aim at the head, melee combat division attack the heart. It shouldn¡¯t take long to get rid of this hadal ogre."


    Anthony III didn''t quite understand what they were saying, but he could clearly feel the contempt in their tone.


    Anthony III angrily roared, "The stupid human beings who do not know how high the sky is! Charge, in the name of this chief!"


    Anthony III waved his hand, and the hadal ogres who were still swirling within the hurricanes jumped down, causing the whole ship to shake!


    Anthony III wielded the ogre¡¯s hammer and led his tribe towards the candidates of the villain school.


    However, Anthony III did not expect that this group of ignorant humans really had several weapons and tricks.


    For all the candidates, the hadal ogres weren¡¯t too hard to defeat. First of all, the hadal ogres were not in the deep sea. Fighting on a cruise ship was equivalent to fighting on a small piece of land. Second, the hadal ogres were just ogres, that is, they were a little taller and stronger than ordinary people, their skin color was a little greener, and their heads were a little whiter.


    And the only thing they could control was the water element.


    But in front of the students from the fantasy department and the Xianxia department who knew magic like the back of their hands, the hadal ogres were not worth mentioning at all. After all, there were also students who were good at defense.


    To tell the truth, such a hadal ogre in the villain school would just be an inconsequential student in the fantasy department.


    So much so that after a round of confrontation, many candidates quietly glanced at the big boss of the sea king who was perched on the largest hurricane. Because it was too tall and too far away, everyone could only see the three meter tall dog head. Based on the performance of the hadal ogres, they all agreed that¡ª¡ª


    This was really a little monster fight!


    But everyone forgot a very important fact.


    This exam room had two rounds of massacres. During the first round of massacres, if they hadn¡¯t found a way to defeat the ligui, the battle would have lasted for seven or eight days. When the hadal ogres boarded the boat, they would already have been exhausted, and by the time the hadal ogres and the ligui teamed up, their end would have been brutal and swift.


    But now, under the leadership of Lin Xinghe, the first round of the massacre was destroyed.


    Although the cruise ship was sped up, everyone was enjoying a vacation-like life on the cruise ship, and now they were all full of HP and energy to start the battle with the hadal ogres.


    As a result, the final boss of this round, Anthony III, was sorely defeated by the villain school students in a matter of minutes.


    All the hadal ogres were knocked to the ground, dizzy or dead.


    All the mobs were almost cleaned up.


    TL Notes:


    *Housekeeping means sweeping the battlefield clean

 CH 47.2

    The candidates all looked at the Sea King.


    The Sea King didn''t seem to do anything, and just looked at them from his view in the sky the sky, which made all the candidates panic. Why didn¡¯t the big boss move? Was he holding back? Was he preparing for a large blow? The big boss has already seen that his sidekick failed. He didn¡¯t want to board the cruise to fight. Did he want to fight directly at sea?


    This would not be a good fight.


    Among the candidates, only the team already in the air could fly, and at most they each could carry one passenger. Even so, if the Sea King moved the battlefield, the mages on the cruise ship and the melee fighters would be useless.


    Some candidates were cautious, and while the big boss was not doing anything now, they first tied up the collapsed hadal ogres, opened the doors inside the cruise ship, threw the hadal ogres in, and set the modern students on jail duty.


    After all, there would be a boss battle later, and the modern department couldn¡¯t help, so it might as well play a role.


    Soon, everyone started questioning what was happening.


    The big boss''s underlings were all cleaned up, but the sea king was still standing on the tornado, motionless.


    Would it attack or not?


    After all, it was the final boss of the test room. Everyone was very cautious for the fear that an accidental attack would make the boss go wild and make the fight even more difficult at sea.


    At this time, everyone saw the boss of the exam room move.


    The boss pulled out a rather down-to-earth thing¡ªa wireless microphone.


    "Thanks for your hard work, classmates! I''m Lin Xinghe from the first class of the Modern Department! I''m an allied soldier! In the past few days, Jiuge and I have dived into the bottom of the sea and successfully penetrated into the enemy''s fortress. The dog head is just my protective equipment, don''t panic!"


    All the candidates on the cruise: ? ? ?


    "Is this for real?"


    "The voice seems to match Lin Xinghe¡¯s."


    At this time, Lin Xinghe took off the dog''s head and put it in her storage ring. Xiao Xue Ji also came out of her pocket and turned into a cat, standing on her shoulders.


    Lin Xinghe added, "Jiuge and I have successfully found the alpine rimeroses, and he has already left the examination room. Let me tell you the good news, I have all the remaining alpine rimeroses, which can help you pass this exam easily. In view of the school''s regulations, we cannot trade points in the examination room. I¡¯ve decided to use the barter method. All students, if you need one, you can come to me to trade, as long as it suits my taste, we can trade."


    Lin Xinghe took out her broom and left the hurricane.


    With some unknown magic, Anthony III created a hurricane. It was probably also for the style of appearance. When everyone left the hurricane, it would naturally disappear.


    Lin Xinghe returned to the cruise ship.


    No one doubted the truth of Lin Xinghe''s words. After all, Lin Xinghe successfully penetrated into the enemy''s fortress. If she only existed like an ordinary subject of Anthony III, it would be fine, but Lin Xinghe''s identity was clearly an extraordinary existence.


    The candidates rushed forward and took out the items they could exchange.


    Mona came first.


    Lin Xinghe gave her an alpine rimerose.


    When Mona touched it, her fingers were cold and she couldn''t help but shrink away from the container.


    Lin Xinghe said, "This is your alpine rimerose, thank you for the potion."


    When Mona took it, the proctor¡¯s voice sounded in her head.


    Lin Xinghe asked her, "Are you going to stay in the exam room?"


    Mona shook her head.


    "Enough vacation, I should go back and make more potions."


    Lin Xinghe asked her again, "Are you going to take the alpine rimerose back as a souvenir?"


    It hurt to hold this container, so Mona didn¡¯t plan to take it back and shook her head.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Then give it to me. I will keep it as a souvenir. I have a hobby of collecting souvenirs."


    A candidate who came to exchange heard that and said, "I just want to pass the exam. As long as I pass, I don''t mind if you keep it!"


    Lin Xinghe tried to give him the alpine rimerose from Mona, but she realized that it didn''t work. It seemed that as long as the gift was successful, the alpine rimerose was more of a consumable, meaning it would not work if it were given to others.


    Lin Xinghe gave out another alpine rimerose.


    The candidate also successfully left the examination room.


    Immediately, the deck of the cruise ship was as lively as a vegetable market, and everyone wanted Lin Xinghe to buy vegetables from them.


    ¡¾I think the proctor in this exam room is going to collapse¡­ A student has monopolized all the answers hahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL: I have the answers for this exam room. ¡¿


    ¡¾Didn''t SL only have twelve flowers, where did the remaining thirty-eight flowers come from? ¡¿


    ¡¾It feels like SL is playing a game of chess! ¡¿

    The news that Fu Zhou learned from Jiuge was that both he and Lin Xinghe obtained some alpine rimeroses from the forbidden area of


    the hadal ogres, and the rest of the alpine rimeroses were actually the hadal ogres.


    When Lin Xinghe said that she had fifty alpine rimeroses, Fu Zhou was stunned.


    But soon, Fu Zhou understood.


    Lin Xinghe may have faked it in order to prevent other students from getting the alpine rimeroses first.


    Fu Zhou did not participate in this lively transaction.


    He was a man of pursuit.


    He was different from the candidates who didn''t know the truth. They all thought that Lin Xinghe broke into the enemy''s fortress and stole fifty alpine rimeroses. And he knew that the alpine rimeroses were hadal ogres as well as the appearance of said rimeroses.


    Fu Zhou and Leiting quietly left the deck.


    They went to the ninth floor of the cruise ship.


    Not long ago, the candidates made a concerted effort to lock the hadal ogres in a restaurant on the ninth floor of the cruise ship. With the foreshadowing that the staff would turn into ligui after death, the candidates naturally did not dare to be careless. They were locked together in a giant cage made by a classmate who possessed wood magic.


    When Fu Zhou arrived, there were no more candidates in the restaurant on the ninth floor.


    Everyone knew that Lin Xinghe owned fifty alpine rimeroses.


    But to Fu Zhou''s surprise, there was a familiar person floating outside the giant cage. It was Ling Xiran, who called Lin Xinghe ¡°Master¡±. Seeing him, Ling Xiran seemed a little surprised, but she didn''t say much. She turned her head and continued to stare at the giant cage.


    On the other side of the giant cage, there was a cat.


    It was also at this time that Fu Zhou saw a blue shadow rushing out, as fast as a blue lightning bolt. When he took a closer look, a snake with a silly expression was coiled around the snow-white cat.


    ...Oh, wasn''t that his own dumb-dumb Leiting?


    Fu Zhou didn''t look closely and decided to concentrate on his own business.


    The hadal ogres in the giant cage were all limp on the ground. The dead ones were near indistinguishable from the unconscious ones. He broke the lock of the giant cage and dragged a nearby hadal ogre out.


    Ling Xiran glanced at him but didn''t say anything to stop him.


    Fu Zhou also didn''t know whether the hadal ogres and humans had the same body structure. But Lin Xinghe said that the hadal ogre was the alpine rimerose, so the alpine rimerose must be on the hadal ogre.


    Fu Zhou took out a knife.


    The tip of the knife reached the left chest of the hadal ogre.


    Just as Fu Zhou was about to cut open the left chest of the hadal ogre, a murderous aura suddenly struck, and he subconsciously used his spiritual power to set up a defensive barrier. At the same time, Leiting had already jumped up, knocking away the murderous aura, and the sound of glass shattering followed.


    It turned out to be a crystal chandelier.


    Not far from the shattered glass, the spirit of hadal ogre floated, and it was the one Fu Zhou was about to carve into. And in the giant cage, those corpses gradually floated out of their soul bodies.


    Fu Zhou''s expression changed slightly.


    Although he had been drinking health tea in the captain''s room at the time, he also knew that when they couldn¡¯t find a way to deal with the ligui, they had a difficult stalemate that lasted for hours.


    And now in the huge ninth-floor restaurant, he was the only person.


    But Fu Zhou''s worries soon disappeared.


    Ling Xiran, who had been beside the giant cage, jumped out like a ferocious tiger, biting the hadal ogres¡¯ throat, and she devoured their spirits completely.


    After devouring each hadal ogre, her originally transparent soul became much more vivid.


    She licked her lips and, like a hungry wolf with green eyes, threw herself into the giant cage and sent the hadal ogre spirits packing. Such a ferocious and cruel Ling Xiran made those hadal ogres who had planned to commit suicide and become spirits as well give up the idea and silently approached the exit of the giant cage destroyed by Fu Zhou.


    However, just after reaching the exit, the white cat guarding the door suddenly turned into a green snake, blocking the door.


    Seeing this, Leiting also immediately slithered forward.


    The hadal ogres were already dying under the attack of the candidates. They wanted to take advantage of their inattentiveness and come in as a spirit body. Unexpectedly, there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon-spirit-devouring situation going on here.


    The hadal ogres gave up.


    They wanted to drag their broken bodies back to the bottom of the sea, but they didn''t expect that there would be two snakes guarding the door, and anyone whose pinky wiggled outside of the cage would be bitten fiercely.


    Fu Zhou was useless on the sidelines.


    Ling Xiran seemed to have broken into a free cafeteria and had a great meal.


    After being hungry for many days, she finally felt full, and the pain on her body was relieved. The souls of hadal ogres were indeed much more delicious than the souls of ordinary humans! With the savory flavor of seafood!


    Ling Xiran devoured all the hadal ogres in the cage that had been transformed into soul bodies in a short period of time.


    She ate too fast just now, and she didn''t count how many she ate, so she didn''t know if there were any fish that slipped through the net.


    Just in case, Ling Xiran checked them again.


    While Ling Xiran was inspecting each body, Anthony III''s soul body, who had been waiting for an opportunity, escaped the cage. His soul body passed through the giant cage, and both Xiao Xue Ji and Leiting, who were guarding the door, saw it, but they weren¡¯t spirits and couldn¡¯t catch it.


    Fu Zhou also saw it and shouted, "One escaped!"


    Ling Xiran turned her head to look and found it too.


    She didn''t chase, and said, "Master said that if the big boss escaped, I didn¡¯t have to chase it. I still have a task to finish." She stretched out her hand, and the knife in Fu Zhou''s hand flew into hers.


    Ling Xiran was very surprised and blurted out, "I seem to be able to hold a knife!"


    She held it carefully again and found that she could really feel the touch of the handle.


    Ling Xiran was so excited that she picked it up and scratched the body of the hadal ogre.


    She cut a huge hole directly on the belly of the corpse. As if to verify something, she threw away the knife and clawed at the belly of the hadal ogre with her hands.


    The internal organs were visible.


    The alpine rimeroses slept under the ogres¡¯ chest and were their hearts.

 CH 48.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 48.2


    At this time, Xiao Xue Ji changed into the appearance of a little girl, holding a large tray with tin containers stacked one after another on top in her hand.


    Xiao Xue Ji walked to Ling Xiran''s side.


    Ling Xiran directly took out the heart from the hadal ogre''s body and put it in the iron jar.


    Afterwards, Ling Xiran turned into a heart-pulling tool and placed all the hearts of thirty-eight hadal ogres into the containers in one breath. Afterwards, she counted them again, confirming that the number was correct and told Xiao Xue Ji, "Okay, you can bring these to Master. I will go find the big boss first and hand in the task after."


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded and left with the tray in hand.


    Leiting was afraid that those heavy tin containers would crush Xiao Xue Ji''s wrists, he stuck his head under the tray to hold it up and left with Xiao Xue Ji.


    Fu Zhou, who didn''t want to be hard carried, could only go back and walk on the road of being carried at this moment.


    The audience in the live broadcast room was dumbfounded.


    ¡¾? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe''s IQ is sky-high? ¡¿


    ¡¾When I saw her whispering to Ling Xiran at the time, I thought she told Ling Xiran to tell the captain to hurry up. I didn''t expect her to think so far! ¡¿


    ¡¾She¡¯s too clever! Taking one step and thinking of three! I admire her ! ¡¿


    ¡¾I was stupid. I thought SL was bragging, but I didn''t expect that she really monopolized all the alpine rimeroses! Insane! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is an unprecedented candidate who monopolizes the answers to the exam prompts? ¡¿


    ¡¾I think in the future, the school may not dare to let SL enter this kind of examination room to find things and accidentally monopolize all the answers to the examination questions. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL: If you want to pass the exam, you don''t have to work hard to take the exam. Come to me and get carried!¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahaha SL is living the most desirable life¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe made a good profit in this exam. The alpine rimeroses seem to be monopolized by her team, and the sale only gives use, not ownership. She said that she wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but she didn¡¯t pay attention to the trades of all those who wanted to take the alpine rimeroses away. Everyone was smart, and they could see what Lin Xinghe meant at a glance. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe traded all the alpine rimeroses she had in hand and made a lot of profit. Although they weren¡¯t points in the bag, for other candidates, one alpine rimerose equaled fifty points, and they were happy to give her the best thing they could give.


    Lin Xinghe closed the stall.


    The surrounding students also dispersed.


    Fu Zhou held the alpine rimerose that belonged to him, and his expression was very tangled.


    Lin Xinghe said, "If you want to keep it for yourself, you don''t have to give it back to me."


    Fu Zhou asked her, "Eating alpine rimeroses will turn them into hadal ogres, and they will become taller and stronger, plus they can control the water element, but once they leave the sea, their strength will become weaker, so it¡¯s useless, right?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "Who knows if it can be used in the future? Keep it for now. Do you want it?"


    Fu Zhou decided, "Then keep it, I don''t need it."


    "Ok."


    At this moment, Ling Xiran came over.


    She said to Lin Xinghe, "Master, I found the big boss, but he is in a place I can''t get into."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Is it the dark room in the exhibition hall?"


    Ling Xiran nodded.


    Lin Xinghe asked Fu Zhou, "Are you leaving the exam room?"


    Fu Zhou planned to leave the examination room, but Leiting was unwilling. For the sake of his outstanding performance, Fu Zhou decided to give his dumb-dumb mount another chance to get along with Xiao Xue Ji, so he said, "I''ll go there with you. Who knows, maybe there are places where I¡¯ll be useful."


    Before this exam, Fu Zhou was still very confident.


    However, for now, Fu Zhou''s words had no confidence.


    ..The one in front of him didn¡¯t need to use him at all.


    Lin Xinghe went to the dark room of the exhibition hall.


    Anthony III''s soul body seemed to be immune to the safe room. No other spirit could enter. Lin Xinghe opened the door of the hidden room and led Ling Xiran in.


    Lilith''s wedding dress was on the bed.


    Anthony III was looking at it.


    Hearing footsteps, Anthony III turned his head.


    Lin Xinghe said, "His Excellency Anthony III."


    Anthony III looked at Lin Xinghe in shock. When he saw Lin Xinghe, he didn''t recognize Lin Xinghe as Sea King Barbaros until she spoke. Because Lin Xinghe''s dog''s head was so huge before that it could almost block most of her body, when Anthony III and Lin Xinghe got along with each other in those days, his eyes only saw her dog head.


    So in retrospect, Anthony III felt incredulous.


    He asked, "Are you Sea King? Barbaros?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I am."


    He asked again, "Are you with those humans?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes."


    Anthony III was silent.


    Ling Xiran was eager to try.


    "Master, can I eat him?"


    Anthony III''s eyes fell on Ling Xiran, he only glanced at her, and then looked back at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe asked him, "Is she the human bride in your dream?"


    Anthony III replied, "No."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    Anthony III said, "I have never forgotten her appearance, it isn¡¯t her..." As if thinking of something, he said, "I am convinced that if I lose to you, it is a way to break the cycle of fate. ¡­¡±


    He walked in front of Ling Xiran.


    "You eat me. When the next reincarnation cycle begins, I will not lose to you."


    Anthony III was so fragrant.


    Ling Xiran couldn''t hold back.


    The food was brought to her mouth, and she swallowed Anthony III with one big gulp.


    Lin Xinghe still had doubts. She didn''t understand what it meant that when the next reincarnation started again, he would not lose to her? However, before his words were finished, Ling Xiran ate Anthony III''s spirit.


    It was also at this time that all the candidates still in the examination room heard the proctor¡¯s voice.


    "The examination room will be closed within 60 seconds. No living creatures are allowed to leave the examination room. Please abide by the rules of the examination room. After 60 seconds, the scores of the candidates will be announced."

 CH 49.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 49.1


    The exam room would close soon.


    Lin Xinghe handed the other box to Ling Xiran.


    "Although I don''t know the reason, I can confirm that this is the key item for this cruise ship to enter reincarnation, and it is also the switch of reincarnation. After turning it off, you and the ghosts on board are no longer bound by reincarnation. How you use it is up to you. It''s me who took you on the road of ghost cultivation, but I''m not from the same world as you, and I can''t participate in your future. You take good care of your life and live your best self..."


    Ling Xiran''s eyes were a little red.


    Lin Xinghe continued, "Come on, this master will give you the last task¡ªfind the hadal ogre''s lair and liberate the innocent souls inside. The task reward is the century-old wealth of the hadal ogre tribe. The switch of the forbidden area is in the coral jungle. You can find a way to open it yourself. There is no deadline for the task time limit. The story of the hadal ogre is over, and the next stage is your time to shine, Ling Xiran..."


    It was almost time.


    Lin Xinghe waved to her.


    "Farewell."


    Ling Xiran, who was no longer a mortal, held back the tears that were about to fall, and said to Lin Xinghe, "I will live well. Even if Anthony III makes a comeback, I will defeat him by myself!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Good!"


    The spacetime rift opened.


    Lin Xinghe brought Xiao Xue Ji out of the examination room.


    A dazzling white light flickered across her line of sight.


    When Lin Xinghe appeared in the waiting area of


    the examination room, she attracted the attention of everyone there, examinees and outsiders alike.


    After all, Lin Xinghe''s stunning machinations in this examination room impressed the whole school.


    Many people wanted to come and see Lin Xinghe in person.


    "Oh, Sea King Barbaros."


    "I didn¡¯t feel ashamed when I typed the chat message, but now I feel ashamed when I say it out loud. How did Lin Xinghe tell Anthony III that she is the Sea King of Barbaros without changing her face?"


    "That''s Lin Xinghe, right? What I saw in the live broadcast room is still a little different from what I saw in reality. She somehow looks more beautiful and petite?"


    "She¡¯s got an air of innocence, but she monopolized all the answers to the exam questions!"


    A fantasy student who participated in this exam heard this, rolled his eyes, and said, "Harmless face my ass, that''s the face of a big villain."


    ...He was at a loss in this exam room. With fire magic, he could still get top 50 in other exam rooms, but after this exam room was monopolized by Lin Xinghe, he didn''t even get an alpine rimerose, let alone top 10. He didn''t even get the guaranteed points and wasted five points to buy astral projection tools in the interplane mall.


    His girlfriend who came to pick him up asked, "Why didn''t you just snatch one away? I was puzzled when I watched your livestream. Just grab it and it''s over. It''s not like your style to wait in line there obediently. Oh, are you into her now?"


    The examinee only felt that the pot was coming from the sky and said, "No, no, absolutely not."


    "Then why didn¡¯t you steal one? After listening to Buddhist scriptures in class every day, you¡¯ve become a Buddha in nature?"


    "No, I wanted to grab one, but it was really hard to. Lin Xinghe must have seen this, so she openly traded alpine rimeroses with us."


    "If you really wanted to grab one, wouldn¡¯t you have been able to?"


    "I really couldn¡¯t grab one! If Lin Xinghe was by herself, it would be a piece of cake, but she wasn¡¯t. She was surrounded by candidates from all departments. In an exam room with 100 people, 50 people have to fail. Most of them are candidates who are usually incompetent and focus on defense skills, and there are also a small number of candidates who are not particularly strong attackers. Usually, there is no easy way to get top 50, but they had a chance in this examination room, so they were unprecedentedly united. Moreover, Lin Xinghe has already obtained all the alpine rimeroses, and some of them were used by the candidates and some weren¡¯t. There are also bosses who don''t want to forcefully grab a used one for fear of losing the chance to get one. In this case, we could only listen to her rules..."


    The examinee explained it painstakingly.


    Only then did his girlfriend believe it, and she said softly, "It''s alright, after the scores are announced, we''ll go eat your favorite dishes and work hard in the next exam room."


    The examinee felt that he had just narrowly escaped the tip of a knife and looked at Lin Xinghe''s face again. He suddenly felt that he should not be in the same examination room as Lin Xinghe in the future. The next time he sees Lin Xinghe signing up, he must not be in the same examination room as her.


    At this point, the proctor began to announce the scores of this exam.


    "Congratulations to candidates Lin Xinghe, Alfred Rudolph, Fu Zhou, Mona..." The invigilator said expressionlessly after reciting a long list of names, "The above students have passed this exam and all get the 50 guaranteed points."


    The invigilator paused for a while before saying, "Lin Xinghe was the first to discover the story line in this examination room, 10 points; for outstanding performance in both rounds of the massacres, 20 points; for ending the cruise reincarnations, 10 points; first to find the alpine rimerose, 20 points; for obtaining all the alpine rimerose, 10 points; the fifth popular vote in the live broadcast room of the plane, 300 points. I hope she makes persistent efforts to achieve excellent results next time as well."


    The proctor¡¯s voice dropped.


    Lin Xinghe was a little stunned.


    She knew that there would be a lot of points from the stream, but she didn''t expect so many. The stream of her last exam room ranked tenth in popularity, and the reward for that was only 50 points. Climbing up 5 places added an additional 250 points.


    Lin Xinghe tapped her cyan bracelet and saw that her bracelet information became¡ª


    Name: Lin Xinghe


    Class: Class 1 of the Modern Department


    Points: 740 points


    Level: C

 CH 49.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 49.2


    Lin Xinghe found that her cyan bracelet had turned blue.


    She earned 370 points in this exam room, and after deducting the 10 points she spent, she still has 360 points left, plus the original 280 points and the 100 points from the stream viewers. She had completed the progression from D-level to C-level.


    At this time, the proctor also announced the bonus points for the next nine places.


    Unsurprisingly, Jiuge and Fu Zhou were both in the top three. Jiuge''s hair was a huge contribution, and the water resistance and durability of his dog head was undoubtedly the highlight of the audience.


    However, with Lin Xinghe''s scores for comparison, Jiuge''s scores were less amazing.


    Jiuge told Lin Xinghe, "Congratulations."


    After Jiuge left the examination room, he went back to the dormitory to take expensive medicine for hair and scalp treatment and rested for a few hours. At this time, he had flowing, smooth and supple hair that glowed with a bright luster in the sun.


    Lin Xinghe replied, "I''ll bring you a bottle of anti-hair loss shampoo. This anti-balding potion isn¡¯t available in the interplane mall. The boss from my last exam, the Snow Maiden, had long, silky hair. Apparently she had been using an earthen formula to wash her hair for thousands of years and guarantees no hair loss in autumn and winter. I¡¯ll try to find the raw materials and make a bottle for you. If it works after you use it, I will give you the formula."


    Jiuge said, "Great."


    Lin Xinghe was really too sleepy.


    The total time she slept in the last exam room was too little. Now that she had left the exam room, her whole body relaxed.


    Fu Zhou said a few words to her, but she didn''t listen carefully, just nodded and said goodbye to Jiuge and Fu Zhou. Mounting her broom, she carried Xiao Xue Ji back to the dormitory.


    Despite her drowsiness, Lin Xinghe insisted on taking a shower before going to bed.


    She fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.


    Lin Xinghe had a dream.


    She dreamed that she was back in the exam room and met Anthony III again. This time, Anthony III saw through her plan, tore off her dog''s head on the spot, and told her, "I said, I wouldn''t lose in the next reincarnation."


    Lin Xinghe suddenly opened her eyes.


    After a long time, she realized that she had been dreaming.


    She got up from the bed.


    She lost herself in her thoughts.


    After a while, Lin Xinghe turned on her phone, only to find that during the six or seven hours she had slept for, she had received countless messages and follow requests.


    She opened Gu Taoyao''s message first¡ª


    Gu Taoyao: Deskmate! Ur awesome! so amazing! You are the first to complete a level jump from only two exam rooms! I was going to meet you after the exam, but I was still in class. However, I think the teacher gave you fewer points than you deserved. The popularity points from the livestream actually come from interplanar viewers¡¯ pockets, and 300 points is the hard bottom limit. I was watching your exam for the whole day except when sleeping. Your performance was so good. My friends and I felt that 70 points were not enough. There was a person who came first in the exam room before, and his performance was not as bright as yours. He wasn¡¯t even top 50, let alone top 10. But he got 90 points for his performance, which is 20 more than you got. You were also assigned to two exam rooms that are much harder than the average room. I suspect that the school is targeting you.


    Lin Xinghe returned Gu Taoyao''s message:


    Lin Xinghe: Can I enter the same exam room again?


    It was already late at night.


    Lin Xinghe thought that Gu Taoyao''s reply would come the next day, but Gu Taoyao replied in seconds.


    Gu Taoyao: Of course not! Each examination room is a special, independent existence. There is a great god who has created all the exam rooms, and none of them are reused, not even a single one. Are you worried about what Anthony III said? Don''t worry, he just said it casually, there is no reincarnation. After the examination room closes, no more students will ever enter that place.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    She thought that the woman in Anthony III''s dream was Ling Xiran.


    After all, Ling Xiran''s talent seemed quite heroine-like, but Anthony III said no.


    Naturally, she couldn''t be the woman in Anthony III''s dream, because Anthony III knew what the woman in the dream looked like.


    And Anthony III also said that this reincarnation was different from his previous dream, although in the end the hadal ogres were still wiped out.


    Exams could not be repeated.


    That could only show that Anthony III had experienced destruction again and again in his dreams, and the human who destroyed the hadal ogres was a woman she did not know. And this time, she was the one who killed the hadal ogres, so Anthony III would say it was different.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly had a terrible guess.


    What if Anthony III''s dream wasn''t a dream, but actually happened?


    Anthony III was reborn, so he thought that this life was a reincarnation, and he also thought that a new reincarnation would be opened when he dies.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly had doubts about the definition of the examination room.


    Each examination room was independent and special, and the people in it were all alive.


    Maybe the exam rooms weren¡¯t just exam rooms but rather independent worlds.

 CH 50.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 50.1


    After Lin Xinghe came to this realization, she couldn''t sleep anymore.


    She got up and turned on her laptop.


    Even though it was late at night, the livestream platform was very lively, filled with all kinds of exam rooms, and in addition to the exam rooms, there were also livestreams of non-school related activities.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it. They were similar to the livestreams of her before-world. There were all kinds of streams, and the legal regulations from her before-world obviously didn''t exist here. She saw many streams advertising sex, violence, and other novelties. A click was all it took to see the streamers¡¯ performances.


    The popularity was decently high, since after all, there were always people who were willing to pay for this type of selling point.


    However, the main entertainment options on the platform were still the livestreams of the exam rooms.


    The school neither supported nor opposed these proceedings, and the category divisions were very strict. But despite this, there were still a group of candidates who couldn''t earn enough points in the exam room to survive.


    Lin Xinghe also saw the live broadcast room of her tablemate Gu Taoyao.


    She was doing stand up comedy in it.


    She glanced at the time. It was four in the morning, no wonder she replied to her message in seconds.


    Lin Xinghe keenly felt the hardships and difficulties of the students.


    Other schools were for learning, but this villain school was for survival.


    Lin Xinghe opened her blue bracelet.


    She checked her existing interplane mall points.


    In this alpine rimerose exam room, she earned 3,500 points. She had 1,500 points before, and she spent 1,000 points to activate the automatic object identification function, which meant that she now had a total of 4,000 points.


    With 4,000 interplane mall points, she could purchase highly aggressive consumable attack items.


    It was just that there were all kinds of props, so which to choose was a problem.


    Lin Xinghe browsed through the shop and didn''t plan to buy anything.


    She felt that what she needed more at the moment was a storage ring. Jiuge''s old storage ring had limitations. Although one grid could hold fifty items, each of these fifty items had to be exactly the same. It was too inconvenient in exam rooms, but she spent 1,000 points to activate the automatic object identification function, so naturally she could not give it up so easily.


    Lin Xinghe searched for storage, and the holographic mall catalog displayed all kinds of storage items. In addition to storage rings, storage bracelets, storage earrings, and more, there were also storage spaces from Xianxia worlds,


    Lin Xinghe suddenly thought of Xie Wuan''s infinite space.


    ... Five square meters of space cost 4,000 points, how many points would it cost for such a vast space?


    Lin Xinghe thought about it for a while.


    It didn¡¯t have the same restrictions as the storage ring. As long as she stacked things properly, five square meters could hold a lot of things, including a small bed for Xiao Xue Ji to rest in.


    After all, she was not a cat, but a little girl. Xiao Xue Ji shouldn¡¯t stay in cat form by Lin Xinghe all day long, so when she had time, she could come in and rest in the storage space. It would also be safer for her.


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe bought this expensive portable space without hesitation.


    Almost as soon as the payment was completed, a message popped up in the wristband notifications:


    Logistics - the portable space you ordered has arrived at the wristband transit center, please raise your wristband to scan and sign for receipt.


    A QR code popped up in mid-air.


    Lin Xinghe raised her wristband and scanned it.


    The bracelet displayed another message - the receipt has been successful.


    The QR code gradually disappeared, replaced by a box about the size of a palm in the air.


    The material of the box was different from the express boxes from her before-novel. It was made out of a material she had never seen before. When she took out the bracelet and instructions inside, the box magically disappeared.


    The appearance of the bracelet was very ordinary. She also had seen similar bracelets in her before-novel. It was pink agate, uniform in color and translucent like ice, but most of all, it was exquisitely carved.


    The instruction manual was a silk book, the words stroked into being with a brush. The handwriting was like scratches in the sand.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t understand.


    She asked Gu Taoyao for advice.


    Gu Taoyao said that the wristband came with a translator.


    Lin Xinghe swiped her wristband and the writing was translated - Bind this space to you with a drop of your blood, when you open the space, you can meditate and enter the space with your mind. When you finish placing items, you can leave the space by meditating again.


    There was a long list of introductions after, all stating something to the effect that this portable space was not factory produced but hand-made by the seller and had a unique spiritual power poured into it, and it could not be returned or exchanged.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt that the existence of these plane worlds was really convenient¡ª there must be many worlds that were more advanced than her before-novel.


    For the first time as a human being, she felt small.


    However, Lin Xinghe sighed emotionally and got over it. She tried on the pink agate bracelet according to the instructions.


    When her mind entered the space, she saw a five-square-meter space, completely empty. But soon, Lin Xinghe stuffed those five square meters of space like a suitcase¡ª putting in a few sets of clothes, a quilt, and some miscellaneous things.


    She asked Xiao Xue Ji to enter. Xiao Xue Ji liked this space very much, and after she came out, she clamored to go in again.


    Lin Xinghe simply let her stay in the portable space.


    She began to organize the items obtained in this examination room.


    Aside from Jiuge, Fu Zhou, and Mona¡¯s cooperation, she got forty-six items. Although they were all small props, they were better than nothing. She picked out two items. One was a mermaid''s voice, and the other was a turtle''s armor. They were all single-use items, one for attack and one for defense.


    She was going to give them to Gu Taoyao tomorrow.


    She had not been in this school for that long, and she had little knowledge of how it worked. It was Gu Taoyao who had taken care of her.

 CH 50.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 50.2


    Lin Xinghe didn''t like to owe people favors. After she woke up, she couldn''t sleep, so she didn¡¯t. She spent two points to buy all the materials in the Snow Maiden¡¯s natural hair formula and made Jiuge some anti-hair loss shampoo.


    After she finished everything, it was only dawn, and it was still way too early to go to class.


    She had already taken the freshman exam and the school''s mandatory monthly exam this month. Next, she could choose to rest until next month, or take the initiative to register for another exam.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t decide yet. She planned to take a good stroll around the school first, but she was also a little hungry, so she went to the cafeteria for breakfast.


    After she left the dormitory, she mounted her magic broom to fly to the cafeteria.


    When she left the dormitory, it was shortly after six o''clock.


    Class started at ten.


    Unexpectedly, it was very lively outside. The road leading to the teaching buildings of various departments was already full of stalls. Apart from the breakfast stalls she had seen that day, there were also a dazzling array of various commodities with prices marked on them.


    She also saw Mona.


    She was packing up her stall with a happy smile on her face.


    When Lin Xinghe got off the magic broom, Mona came over to say hello.


    "Thanks to you, my black magic potions are selling very well. Usually, they can''t be sold out until it''s about to go to class. Now, all the black magic hair potions were sold out in less than an hour, and the other potions sold well too. There were even people who pre-ordered tomorrow''s black magic potions with me."


    Mona added, "Look at what type of potions you still need, I can make them for you for free, as long as you help me with a small advertisement before you use them in the next exam and say the potions are from the fantasy department Mona in Class 8."


    Lin Xinghe agreed. Having multiple witch supplier friends was always a good thing.


    "I''ll find you if I need some.¡±


    When Lin Xinghe added Mona¡¯s contact into her phone, she realized that after she left the exam room yesterday, many classmates sent her friend requests.


    Lin Xinghe looked at those unfamiliar names and ignored them all.


    Mona said, "I''ll go back and take a nap. You can contact me if you need it."


    "Ok."


    Lin Xinghe smelled the familiar scent of breakfast and followed the scent to find a stall selling pan-fried buns. Lin Xinghe, who had planned to go to the cafeteria, completely changed her mind. She bought two prawn-filling ones, one of which was teleported to Xiao Xue Ji in the  portable space, and the other she ate while she walked along.


    As she walked, she heard someone shouting¡ª


    "Magic potions! They increase physical strength, quickly recover energy, and allow you to be full for 24 hours. You can''t think of magic potions that I can''t make. Buy a bottle and get a lucky raffle. The special prize is a magic broom worth 50 points. If you are lucky, you can get it directly! The last person who took it away has now become Xilin No. 2! Don''t miss it when you pass by!"


    Lin Xinghe recognized the stall owner who sold her a strength-enhancing potion before.


    Next door was the stall owner selling fried dough sticks.


    "Don''t mention Xilin, Xilin has a group of fanatical fans at school, and they were so extreme that they could be called worshippers before. Lin Xinghe has only a few exam rooms and is far from the height of Xilin, you are not afraid of drawing unwarranted attention to that little girl..."


    "Xilin No. 2 is right. Now, isn''t Lin Xinghe the only person in your modern department who can fight and win? Lin Xinghe can sort of be regarded as the light of the modern department, and the others are not worth watching. No matter how powerful Xilin was, was there a graduation ceremony for her? In the end, Xilin died in the exam room carelessly. Besides, it''s been many years since Xilin was here, even if there were fans at that time, they are scattered to the winds now. I think Lin Xinghe has potential, and she is also luckier than the average person. If Xilin had half her luck, maybe that unlucky ending wouldn¡¯t have happened."


    Lin Xinghe also heard the name of that modern department student from Gu Taoyao.


    But she didn''t know much. She only knew that Xilin was a female scientist with great strength. After her admission, she almost destroyed the school. The school was quite afraid of her, and because of this, they stopped recruiting mad scientists in the modern department.


    Lin Xinghe felt moved in her heart and went forward to talk to the stall owner who sold magic potions.


    "What kind of person was Xilin?"


    When the stall owner saw Lin Xinghe, he was very enthusiastic and said, "That''s a scientist from the modern department. I heard that before entering the school, she was a dick and destroyed the whole world she lived in."


    The stall owner next door selling fritters and soy milk said, "She has a lot of fans who defend her. In fact, they are no longer fans, they should be called believers. In her last exam, she led her followers to destruction. "


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you have any other information? Does she have better friends? Are they still alive?"


    The stall owner selling magic potions replied, "Yes, if you want to know more information, you can go to Xie Wuan. Xie Wuan had a good relationship with her. After Xilin died, Xie Wuan still went to clean up her relics. But the xianxia boss is not very good at talking..." Speaking of which, the stall owner felt that he was worrying too much. The pet of the girl in front of him came out of that boss'' space intact, after all.


    ...And Xie Wuan treated the newcomer Lin Xinghe in a different way, and the huge sum of points he awarded in the livestream has become the talk of many people after their meals.


    ...They didn¡¯t know if the boss discovered a potential boss or if he wanted to make Lin Xinghe into a figurine.


    The stall owner changed his mind and said, "Xie Wuan will go to class today, you can go to the bottom of the xianxia class building and talk with him."

 CH 51.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 51.1


    Lin Xinghe thanked the stall owner.


    The owner of the fritters and soy milk stall urged Lin Xinghe to buy a potion to play the lottery. The owner of the magic potion stall shook his head again and again and said, "How about we don¡¯t..."


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, "I''ll buy some medicine."


    The magic potion stall owner''s face paled in fright.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I won¡¯t do lottery draws, I¡¯ll just buy some as gifts."


    Lin Xinghe picked ten bottles of different potions and directed the stall owner to wrap them nicely.


    When the stall owner heard that it was important business, he immediately put on his customer-service face and asked, "When will you ask for it at the latest? What style do you want me to wrap it in?"


    Lin Xinghe planned to buy some for Xie Wuan.


    The boss took great care of her, and her two live exams got immensely expensive donations from him. She knows that the boss was not short on anything, and it would be inappropriate for her to gather information empty-handed. It was better for her to buy some medicine for the boss to drink.


    Lin Xinghe said, "You can give it to me when you''re done. Tell me and I''ll tell you where I am. As for style," she thought for a while and continued, "Make it striking, and have me as the giver seem very approachable and honest."


    The stall owner thought about it and said, "I understand!"


    Lin Xinghe and the stall owner exchanged contact information, and she asked the stall owner to notify her when it was done.


    Xianxia department classes started at the time as modern department classes, so they also started at ten o''clock.


    Lin Xinghe leisurely rode a magic broom to deliver her presents to Gu Taoyao and then delivered shampoo to Jiuge. The magic broom was a really convenient means of transportation, and it took her less than half an hour to run two errands.


    However, when she came out of Jiuge''s dorm room, Lin Xinghe accidentally bumped into Xie Wuan, who was heading out.


    Lin Xinghe chased after him in three steps.


    She hesitated and didn''t know what to call Xie Wuan¡ªit didn''t seem very respectful to call her by name.


    Xie Wuan had the aura of a boss, and he was a xianxia cultivator. He was dressed in his customary white fluttering robes, and he seemed simply otherwordly. After the other Xianxia classmates entered the villain school, they assimilated into the environment within a few days, and their different dialects and pronunciations consolidated into one common language. When they wore the school uniforms, even with long hair and a topknot, they seemed integrated into the school within a few days.


    Xie Wuan was unconventional.


    He seemed to clash with the environment of the school. Rumors said he had been a student for many years, but his personal style from his before-world still resounded strongly in his veins, and in this, he was unique within the school.


    When people stood in front of them, they felt from the bottoms of their hearts that he was an immortal, cold and above secular values.


    Before Lin Xinghe could decide what to call Xie Wuan, Xie Wuan whirled around in an elegant flurry of white fabric and glanced at her.


    His eyes searched hers deeply, and he asked, "Is something wrong?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "No, nothing¡¯s wrong. I just wanted to thank you for your recognition of me in my livestreams, you''ve spent a lot of points..." At this time, the stall owner of the magic potion stall sent her a message asking her where she was. Her medicine had been packaged according to her requirements.


    Lin Xinghe sent him a position.


    At the same time, she said to Xie Wuan, "I prepared a small gift to express my gratitude for your Jinwudan..."


    When her words fell, the stall owner had already come over on a magic broom.


    Lin Xinghe saw and waved at him.


    The stall owner got off the magic broom and saw Xie Wuan there as well. After remarking on the situation between a boss and another boss in his heart, he took out his carefully preserved storage ring he picked up from a certain exam room and retrieved ten bottles of potions, then handed them to Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe had been talking to Xie Wuan, and she didn''t pay attention to what the stall owner was doing.


    Until the stall owner handed the potions over, she glanced at them out of the corner of her eyes, and her whole body froze.


    ¡­Not that it wasn¡¯t well packaged.


    Her request was to make the packaging unforgettable at a glance, and it was indeed unforgettable; she wanted it to appear sincere, and indeed it made her look sincere.


    However, the stall owner wrapped the ten bottles of brightly colored potions as flowers, and wrapped layers of floral paper on the outside, holding them like a bouquet of flowers in his hands.


    But she had already offered the gift, and it could not be taken back.


    Lin Xinghe thought to herself that perhaps Xie Wuan, a manly cultivator, would not understand the special meaning of sending someone flowers.


    She had the cheek to give him the potion bouquet.


    "It¡¯s just a little gift, please accept it."


    Xie Wuan glanced at Lin Xinghe, grasped the bouquet of medicinal potion-flowers, and acquiesced in a clear voice, "Mm."


    The stall owner didn''t expect Lin Xinghe to give Xie Wuan his potions. Most people wouldn''t give Xie Wuan potions! But now that Xie Wuan actually accepted it, the stall owner was dumbfounded.


    ...Had he missed some sensational story?


    Seeing Xie Wuan''s expression as solemn and blank as usual, Lin Xinghe felt a little more at ease. Thinking that these immortals didn''t pay attention to these secular things, she felt much more confident than before.


    What she wanted to ask was not public information, so naturally she couldn''t get straight to the point. She thought about it for a while and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"


    After she finished speaking, she remembered that Xie Wuan was a cultivator and asked "Have you been practicing inedia*?"


    Xie Wuan said, "Eating is permissible."


    "Let¡¯s have breakfast together?"


    "Acceptable."


    Lin Xinghe thought that the boss was not as difficult to get along with as rumored, and their breakfast appointment was a success!

 CH 51.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 51.2


    "In the cafeteria?"


    "Acceptable."


    The dormitory area was not far from the cafeteria. Lin Xinghe originally planned to walk over, but she glanced at the sword in Xie Wuan''s hand and said, "Let''s ..."


    Before she could say "fly", she saw Xie Wuan sheathe his sword and gesture to her, "Let us walk."


    He strode forward.


    Lin Xinghe silently put away her magic broom and followed.


    Magic potion stall owner: ...Oh my.


    There was a comfortable early-morning breeze in the school, and it was very pleasant to stroll on the footpaths.


    There was still nearly an hour until class, and there were many students on the road and in the air.


    In the past, the air and ground routes were less crowded, but today was a little different. The flying swords, magic brooms, flying mounts in the air congested in the air, forming a large shadow.


    "Isn''t that Xie Wuan? Why is he holding a bunch of flowers?"


    "Who''s the girl next to him? She looks a little familiar?"


    "Lin Xinghe of the modern department, right?"


    "I remember, Xie Wuan spent almost 1500 points on Lin Xinghe''s two live streams!"


    "Lin Xinghe is into Xie Wuan?"


    ¡­


    The speed at which the school gossiped about influential figures was astonishing.


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan walked for less than 30 seconds, and the rumor mill churned out: Lin Xinghe had a crush on Xie Wuan and confessed to him with a bouquet of flowers. Xie Wuan accepted them, and now the two walk the campus hand in hand.


    Lin Xinghe was originally a little embarrassed, but after seeing Xie Wuan so calm and indifferent, her embarrassment disappeared. She held her head high and followed Xie Wuan into the cafeteria.


    After the two sat down, Lin Xinghe asked, "Are there any foods you¡¯re not allowed to eat?"


    Xie Wuan said, "No."


    Lin Xinghe went to the buffet bar to buy a bunch of food. She picked a few from various sources, not because she was afraid that it would not suit Xie Wuan''s taste, but because Xiao Xue Ji ate the Jinwudan, she always felt that she owed Xie Wuan a favor .


    After Lin Xinghe sat down, she said again, "Before, my pet entered your portable space, so I''m really sorry. She also ate your Jinwudan, so in repayment, if you need anything I can help you in the future. I am willing to go through thick and thin to repay you."


    Xie Wuan replied lightly, "It''s fated, no need to apologize."


    Lin Xinghe said: "Fate is fate, but it was still a treasure that you painstakingly obtained by your fate¡­"


    Xie Wuan stared solemnly at her.


    Lin Xinghe originally wanted to say some polite words, but when he looked at her like this, she kind of forgot how to talk.


    Lin Xinghe came to her senses and continued, "Thank you for acknowledging me during my exams."


    Lin Xinghe thought that Xie Wuan would say that it was all due to her efforts and her fate, so she did not expect that he smiled a non-smile and corrected, "Not acknowledgement."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    Xie Wuan asked her, "Have you seen the figurines in my infinite space?"


    Lin Xinghe nodded.


    Xie Wuan asked her, "Do you think they look nice?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "...They¡¯re quite spectacular."


    Xie Wuan said, "The first time I saw you, I felt that you were suitable for display in my space." He continued nonchalantly, "I gifted you the Jinwudan and points because I doubted you would succeed in the exam room."


    He peered at her with his fathomless expression and continued, "I hope we can meet in the next exam room. I really look forward to seeing you displayed in my space."


    He didn''t eat a single bite of the food on the table.


    Xie Wuan got up, waved her potion flower bouquet, and said, "I accept this, goodbye."


    The cafeteria was crowded.


    Xie Wuan, who has always been a solitary person, ate breakfast in the cafeteria with another party. Coupled with the previous rumors, everyone was curious about the relationship between the two, but then they heard such an explosive conversation.


    Soon, the rumors in the school changed again, becoming Lin Xinghe crushing on Xie Wuan, Xie Wuan accepted her happily and planned to make his suitor Lin Xinghe a love figurine.


    As soon as Xie Wuan left, those who heard the conversation in the cafeteria looked at Lin Xinghe with a hint of sympathy.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t care and actually felt a little more relaxed. She was afraid that Xie Wuan would treat her well, and she didn''t know how to repay her debts to him. Now that she knew Xie Wuan¡¯s motives, although he wanted to make her into a figurine, the previous benefits she got from him were equivalent to his investment in his figurines. When Lin Xinghe thought about it, she felt that she didn¡¯t owe Xie Wuan anything.


    ...It was just a pity that they had breakfast and she didn''t get the opportunity to ask him anything about Xilin.


    Lin Xinghe wasn''t too disappointed, though. She would be in this school for a long time. If she couldn''t ask others, she could find out by herself. However, with Xie Wuan''s temperament, Lin Xinghe finally understood why the students in the school called him a big pervert.


    The best way to deal with this kind of pervert was to give them a taste of their own medicine.


    Although Xie Wuan was a big boss, over time, she could also become a big boss, so who would make the other a figurine?


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe actually felt a little excited.


    ... Making Xie Wuan into a scratching post and putting it in the dormitory, no matter how she thought about it, seemed super cool.

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 52.1


    After class, Fu Zhou brought Leiting over to visit Lin Xinghe.


    He said to Lin Xinghe, "You''d better be careful. Xie Wuan really likes to make people into figurines..."


    Lin Xinghe remembered that Fu Zhou was also a xianxia boss and asked, "Are you in the same class?"


    Fu Zhou replied, ¡°We are, and we¡¯ve also been in the same exam rooms before. His exam style is simple and rude. In his exam rooms, he is basically always first to submit the exam by brute forcing the boss. If he meets a boss he is interested in and wants to collect, it will take longer. He is very patient with people who can be his figurines, and he is very talkative and can even be called gentle. You are not the first classmate he wants to make a figurine out of. There was one in both the ancient department and the fantasy department, and he took the same exam room as them and stole them away..."


    As if thinking of something, Fu Zhou said again, "Didn''t you enter his space? You should have seen his setup?"


    Lin Xinghe had indeed seen Xie Wuan''s figurines, but he had too many figurines; besides people, there were all kinds of creatures.


    She glanced at Fu Zhou and said, "You and Xie Wuan are both immortals, so how come you don''t have an immortal inflection when you speak?"


    Fu Zhou said: "There''s no way I¡¯d still have it since everyone around me talks like this, and over time we get assimilated. Xie Wuan hardly deals with his classmates except for making figurines."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "But I heard that he has a good personal relationship with Xilin?"


    Fu Zhou replied, "It was good later. At the beginning, Xilin and Xie Wuan often fought each other in the same exam rooms. I remember the streams were very exciting, but unfortunately I couldn''t record them..."


    Recalling that live stream, Fu Zhou now wanted to sigh with emotion, "The battle of the century."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "How so?"


    Fu Zhou replied, "The final boss of that exam room didn¡¯t even have any sense of existence. You also know that the exam room will be closed when the final boss dies. In order to prevent the exam room from closing, the two of them locked up the boss. The two of them fought in the dark. It was simply a battle between immortals and technology, which flattened the boss''s home..."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Who won in the end?"


    Fu Zhou explained, "No one won. The boss felt humiliated, committed suicide, and the exam room automatically closed. Later, the relationship between the two people somehow got better... It''s a pity that Xilin died in the end."


    Fu Zhou looked at Lin Xinghe and said, "You better be careful, you only have experienced two exam rooms. Fighting Xie Wuan is like trying to break a stone with an egg. If you want to sign up for the next independent exam room, try to avoid Xie Wuan and don''t follow him into the same examination room. But if you¡¯re assigned to the same random monthly exam, there¡¯s nothing you can do."


    Fu Zhou added, "Jiuge has already taken the exam three times this month, and he said he wants to take a break. I have also taken the exam four times this month, and I plan to take a break. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait half a month. Jiuge is definitely willing to team up with you, and I can also join you at that time..."


    Fu Zhou tried to team up with Jiuge many times and failed and now he found another teammate he preferred.


    Experiencing Fu Zhou''s kindness, Lin Xinghe expressed her gratitude and said, "It''s alright, you rest. I''m okay with my equipment now, and it''s not a big problem to be alone."


    Fu Zhou knew Lin Xinghe''s strength, so he didn''t say more after this.


    At this time, Leiting rubbed Fu Zhou with his head.


    Fu Zhou coughed heavily and said, "I was in the last exam room..." He coughed again, "Leiting was taken care of by Xiao Xue Ji, and he wanted to give Xiao Xue Ji a small gift to show his gratitude."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    Did Xiao Xue Ji take care of Fu Zhou''s mount in the last exam room?


    She looked at Leiting.


    Leiting rubbed Fu Zhou with his green head again.


    Fu Zhou took out a large box tied with a bow from the storage ring. It looked quite heavy and had to be held with both hands. Then Leiting held it against his head, and his round eyes stared at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe released Xiao Xue Ji from her space.


    Xiao Xue Ji really liked the new portable space that Lin Xinghe bought.


    Although it was only five square meters, which was about the height of her own dormitory, it was full of Lin Xinghe''s spiritual energy, which made her feel at ease, and the ground was clean. Lin Xinghe made a bed and quilt for her inside, and she slept very comfortably. When she got up, she also saw the prawn-flavored foods. Although they were cold, they still tasted delicious.


    When Xiao Xue Ji came out of the space, it was in her human body state.


    The little girl was sleepy and yawned lazily. She rubbed her eyes with her soft, white hands and leaned against Lin Xinghe''s legs.


    After exposing her main body in the examination room, Lin Xinghe no longer restrained Xiao Xue Ji.


    Everyone thought that Xiao Xue Ji ate Xie Wuan''s Jinwudan and turned into a demon cat with talent. She could transform into anything at will. She even changed into a hadal ogre, so a little girl wasn¡¯t that strange.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Leiting gave you a gift, thank him."


    Xiao Xue Ji said obediently, "Thank you."


    Leiting accommodated Xiao Xue Ji''s height, lay down and asked her to open the gift.


    It was the first time that Xiao Xue Ji opened the gift by herself, and she felt that it was new and interesting. She looked left and right, not knowing where to start.

 CH 52.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 52.2


    Lin Xinghe pointed to the bow tie.


    Xiao Xue Ji said, "Mommy."


    Lin Xinghe instructed, "Pull the rope and the bow will fall off."


    Xiao Xue Ji stretched out her hand and tugged at the rope, and the bow tied with the ribbon fell. Leiting was so nervous that it affected Fu Zhou, causing his heart to hang in his throat.


    Fu Zhou felt that his son was useless and kicked it without a trace.


    Leiting stared at Xiao Xue Ji and didn''t care about the kick at all, only to see Xiao Xue Ji remove the bow and the gift box, and finally saw the true face of the gift¡ª¡ª


    A bag of cat food.


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at Leiting suspiciously.


    Leiting couldn''t speak human words, so he could only ask Fu Zhou for help.


    Fu Zhou said, "It was picked by Leiting. It is the best-selling cat food in the plane mall. There are no cats who don''t like to eat it."


    When Xiao Xue Ji heard this, she was immediately disinterested.


    She was not a cat, so she didn¡¯t like cat food, but she politely picked up the bag of cat food, said "Thank you" to Leiting, turned her head and got back into the portable space.


    Lin Xinghe couldn''t say that her little Xue Ji was not a cat, so she could only say, "Thank you, she likes it very much."


    After finishing speaking, she said, "I should go back to the classroom, thank you for your reminder."


    After Lin Xinghe left, Fu Zhou said to Leiting, "Okay, I gave it and she received it, so be happy. You will be able to practice well in the future, and you will be able to talk to Xiao Xue Ji."


    Leiting was not happy.


    It felt that Xiao Xue Ji didn''t like its gifts.


    Leiting: ... Ah.


    Fu Zhou, who was forced to empathize: ... People don''t understand snake hearts.


    Leiting: ... Sssnek don¡¯t undersssstand cat heart.


    After Lin Xinghe went back, she consulted Gu Taoyao about taking the exam on her own.


    There was information about the registration of the examination room on the wristband. As long as she participated in the registration, her name would appear in the examination room.


    When the participants reached 100 people, the list would be locked.


    Gu Taoyao said, "...Once the list is locked, the exam rooms will be allocated."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "If the last person to sign up is in the middle of the night, will the exam room also be open in the middle of the night?"


    "It''s not that fast. After the list is locked, the exam room usually starts 12 hours later. All candidates who register themselves have 12 hours to prepare. People generally avoid exam rooms with many department bosses, because the more bigwigs there are, the slimmer the chances are for getting top ten. However, some people like the exam room with many bosses. They are not aiming for the top ten, but rather the guaranteed points for the top 50. After all, it¡¯s really easy to get carried by the big bosses."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Can everyone see the list?"


    "Yes, but after the list is locked, it will disappear from the announcement column of the bracelet. Only the candidates who participated can view the list of their own examination room."


    Lin Xinghe nodded thoughtfully.


    She went to the bracelet to see the situation of the major independent examination rooms. There were ten independent examination rooms on the announcement board. The number of participants in many of the examination rooms had reached 97 to 98, and the examination room cap was only a few people away.


    Lin Xinghe refreshed her wristband.


    It was found that the ninety-seven and ninety-eight exam rooms had disappeared, replaced by two exam rooms with zero registrations.


    She refreshed again.


    The examination room with zero registrations had six more names, and the number became six.


    Lin Xinghe observed for a long time, and found that the number of one examination room rose very slowly. The position of the bulletin board where the examination room was located was also special. It was posted at the top of the bulletin board, and the number was only forty-five.


    She glanced at the names on it, and there were many well-known bosses in the school, such as Xie Wuan, Jiuge, and Qi Qing, the ancient department boss.


    Lin Xinghe asked Gu Taoyao, "There are too many bosses and no one is participating?"


    Gu Taoyao said, "Ah, this is the competitive examination room, the difference is the promotion system examination room I mentioned to you before, one hundred to fifty, fifty to twenty-five, twenty-five to twelve, ten to ten. The examination room with the second entry into the sixth examination room will become more and more difficult, and the mortality rate will also be high. Generally, only the candidates of the boss level or the candidates who are close to death/ bankruptcy will participate in these examinations. This is one of the school''s stipulations: if you enter the competitive examination room, tuition points will not be deducted every month."


    Gu Taoyao asked, "Are you going to participate in the competitive exam?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I will not participate for the time being."


    Lin Xinghe attended classes for a few more days. On the fourth day, she signed up for an examination room with 98 people in the dead of night and became the 99th examinee in the examination room. After that, she didn¡¯t pay attention to the examination room list.


    When she woke up the next day, she received a notice to go to the exam room.


    With her portable space, Lin Xinghe went to the waiting area of


    the examination room very calmly this time.


    The exam room was crowded with people.


    Compared with the previous two exams, Lin Xinghe was obviously well-known this time, and many people were frowning when they saw her, feeling that there was one less place in the top ten.


    Lin Xinghe only saw one acquaintance, Lu Qin, the leader of her class.


    When Lu Qin saw her, her complexion changed slightly.


    Lin Xinghe greeted Lu Qin with a smile.


    Lu Qin looked constipated.


    Suddenly, the noisy crowd became silent.


    A white figure floated from the sky.


    With a flick of his draping sleeve, his sword snapped into its sheath.


    Xie Wuan landed on the ground with the remnants of his sword energy and looked at Lin Xinghe with a quirk to his eyebrows.


    The people around him automatically backed away three meters.


    Xie Wuan intoned calmly, "You and I are in the same exam room, must also be fate."


    Lin Xinghe''s tone was also very calm, and she even lowered her eyes demurely and said, "It is indeed fate. I also want to ask you how to make a figurine. Maybe I can use it in the future."


    The people around them involuntarily retreated three meters back again.

 CH 53.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 53.1


    Not long after, the proctor came over.


    It was still the same proctor as the last two times.


    He finished reading the rules of the exam room with a blank face and waved his hand to open the spacetime rift, urging the students to hurry in.


    Xie Wuan was the first to enter.


    After Xie Wuan entered, the other candidates seemed unwilling to enter the examination room alongside Xie Wuan.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe simply became the second person to enter the examination room. A familiar bright light flashed in front of her eyes. She couldn''t help but close them. When she regained her vision again, she found herself in a dark alley. Inside, there was a strong smell of rusty metal.


    Before she could look around, she heard a shrill scream, followed by heavy footsteps and the sound of metal scraping against the ground.


    Lin Xinghe looked left and right, and quickly made a decision.


    There was an abandoned double-door refrigerator in the corner one meter away from her. The paint surface of the handle had fallen off, and the metal surface on the top had exposed traces of rust, and there was some liquid on the door, which was sticky and exuded a stench.


    However, at this time, Lin Xinghe couldn''t care less. The heavy footsteps approached. She opened the double-door refrigerator, quickly took out the partition inside, and bent over to hide in it.


    Fortunately, she was petite, and it was more than enough to hide in.


    Just as she closed the refrigerator door, a spacetime rift opened somewhere near her.


    A student landed.


    The sound of heavy footsteps approached.


    "Another stupid human being!"


    "It''s a spy sent by the Holy City."


    "Kill it, the corpse can still be exchanged for some Lu coins, we can split it five ways. I need to change the paint for my woman at home. The most popular color paint recently is pink, and I don''t know how it can look good, but it¡¯s crazily fashionable among the women. This paint is expensive even though it looks like crap, and ten Lu coins for a surface, which is enough to buy three tanks of oil at home. Who cares about fashion?"


    "Look at what you''re complaining about. In the end, isn¡¯t it still you who obediently lines up to buy the paint?"


    "What are you..."


    "Don''t come, I''ll... ah? Where''s my magic? I..."


    Lin Xinghe heard the sound of a sword piercing in the refrigerator, and then there was another conversation¡ª¡ª


    "The holy city will send a few more people over, and we''ll send them out today."


    "Let''s carry the corpse to exchange for Lu coins. I already have one in my stomach. I can''t hold it. I''m carrying human corpses around the market, afraid of being robbed..."


    "Hey, humans are so disgusting..."


    "It''s all Lu coins, bear with it, go back and rinse yourself."


    "Let''s go..."


    ...


    Lin Xinghe heard the footsteps and walked away, so he gently pushed open the refrigerator door. When she looked , he saw a pool of blood on the ground. At the same time, the exam prompt popped up on her wristband¡ª¡ª


    Destroy the Power Stone.


    Lin Xinghe''s livestream became lively again.


    Everyone was chatting about it.


    ¡¾Isn''t your Koi luck SL very lucky? She almost lost her life in the beginning. ¡¿


    ¡¾I think SL has been targeted. ¡¿


    ¡¾This is not the first time. I am used to it. The school is probably targeting SL, how do you say that? Mu Xiu and Lin Fengbi, so good and yet unable to reach the level of Xie Wuan, it is inevitable that they will die quickly. ¡¿


    ¡¾Bah, don''t curse SL. SL has luck and IQ on her side. Besides, this is just the beginning, who knows whether it is good or bad to land here? SL landed on the snowy mountain alone in the first exam. Everyone said that she was unlucky, but she was the only one who took the rescue helicopter and easily got down the mountain. ¡¿


    ¡¾The leader is really witty. If she didn''t hid in the refrigerator quickly, she might end up just like the candidate who was killed. ¡¿


    ¡¾This exam room is too bloody. 10 ppl have already died. ¡¿


    ¡¾The teacher has two first places in her examination room. Xie Wuan is in this examination room, so she may not necessarily win first place this time. ¡¿


    ¡¾It''s not necessarily, it''s definitely not. Your facts are too late. Xie Wuan has said that he wants to make Lin Xinghe into a figurine. Bosses are still boss level. Xie Wuan has already started to explore the plot, white Lin Xinghe is still hiding in the refrigerator. There¡¯s such a big difference between the two.¡¿


    ¡¾¡­It can¡¯t be compared like this, Xie Wuan landed in Mermaid City and is now simply and rudely roasting mermaids. The place where the leader landed was unlucky. If the leader landed in Mermaid City, she would be able to start exploring the plot at this time. ¡¿


    ¡¾Heh, Lin Xinghe''s fans have double standards, and we''re not talking about luck now. ¡¿


    ¡¾Can you please stop arguing, I just want to quietly watch the SL  win. Those who don¡¯t like the leader go to other streams, don¡¯t come here just to find a sense of existence. ¡¿


    ...


    After Lin Xinghe saw the exam prompt, she didn''t think much about it. She had just entered the exam room, and all the information was too little, so it was equivalent to a blank sheet of paper. She was more concerned about another point of information.


    Although she was hiding in the refrigerator just now, the conversation outside fell into her ears without a word.


    She could clearly hear the panic in the classmate''s tone.


    What happened to his magic?

 CH 53.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 53.2


    Lin Xinghe suspected that magic could not be used in this place. From the words of the classmate just now, it was obvious that he was a magician from the fantasy department, but he was taken away by a set of unknown creatures within seconds of landing.


    As long as he could use a little magic, he wouldn¡¯t have ended up like that.


    Lin Xinghe used her consciousness to penetrate into her personal space, but unexpectedly encountered a barrier. Usually, she could enter the portable space without any obstacles, but at this moment, she felt that a door was blocked in the middle, no matter how she penetrated. Consciousness cannot pass through that door.


    She tried to call Xiao Xue Ji a few times, but she didn''t get any reply.


    She went to try the storage ring that Jiuge gave her, but she couldn¡¯t open it.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt unfortunate.


    In this place, it was impossible to use all magic and immortal techniques, and maybe there was no way to use supernatural abilities. All the candidates who entered here would probably only have the power of ordinary human beings.


    ...and from the conversation of the two unknown creatures, she guessed that the enemy was not a normal creature.


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe heard a hoarse and cold voice¡ª


    "Piss off."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled, not knowing where the voice came from.


    At this time, the voice sounded again.


    "Get out!"


    "I command you to piss off"


    "Trash human, you don''t deserve to be here."


    "Get as far as possible, you defiled my body."


    "You¡¯re still not leaving?"


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt a slight shaking, and the voice was roaring¡ª


    "Get! Out!"


    The shaking lasted for a very short time, and soon, the surroundings returned to calm, and only the voice was left to scold, "You humans are so disgusting, I should have kicked you out long ago, and made you die with your companions as a bounty for trash citizens."


    Lin Xinghe realized that it was the double-door refrigerator she was in that was talking.


    She got out of the refrigerator.


    The refrigerator rumbled again, "Put back this boss¡¯s partition!"


    Lin Xinghe confirmed that it was the double-door refrigerator in front of her that was talking and that the voice came from inside the refrigerator. Previously, she didn¡¯t get the chance to examine her surroundings, but now, she carefully looked at the double-door refrigerator in front of her and found that it was a little different from an ordinary refrigerator. It had two curved mechanical feet at both ends of the bottom, like weak bracers. There were also thin robot arms, as thin as strips of seaweed, rusted through and hanging down from the sides of the refrigerator.


    "What are you looking at!"


    The machine moved, as if it wanted to hit Lin Xinghe, but it just turned around, like a machine that suddenly ran out of oil, and then hung down weakly. Only that voice was left calling, "Put this boss¡¯s partition back on!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, I''ll help you put the partition back on, provided you answer my question."


    The refrigerator replied, "Go away, I don''t want to answer."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay."


    As she spoke, she reached into the refrigerator, took out a partition, and said, "I''ll give you a show, splitting the partition with my bare hands..."


    Lin Xinghe pretended to be a hand knife, and when she was about to slash vertically, the refrigerator shouted, "You dare!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, you''re right, I don''t dare, it will hurt to split with bare hands..." She rolled her eyes, picked up a broken wrench from the ground, and said, "I''ll show you a wrench to split your partition."


    She took the wrench and slammed it hard against the partition.


    The partitions were of good quality and hadn¡¯t cracked, but a few scratches appeared.


    When Lin Xinghe slammed it for the second time, the refrigerator''s tone was cold.


    "What do you want to ask?"


    Lin Xinghe put away the wrench and asked with a smile, "Where is this?"


    The refrigerator said, "The City of Machines."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What were those two things just now?"


    The refrigerator said, "Citizens of the City of Machines."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "They are all refrigerators like you?"


    The refrigerator said angrily, "I''m not a refrigerator, my name is Precoster."


    Lin Xinghe acquiesced,  "...Okay, what are they?"


    Refrigerator retorted, "Who, not what, they are all citizens of the City of Machines given life!"


    Lin Xinghe asked sharply, "Oh, you are not a citizen of the City of Machines, are you?"


    The refrigerator was silent for a moment and said, "None of your business."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you know what a Power Stone is?"


    "There will be humans who don''t know the Power Stone? The holy city is eyeing our city of machines every day, isn''t it just trying to grab the Power Stone?"


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What is the Holy City?"


    "Where you humans live, what are you asking me?"


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Apart from the Holy City and the City of Machines, what other cities are there?"


    The refrigerator scolded, "The City of Mermaids? Are you a human living in the Tianhui Continent?"


    Lin Xinghe had a general understanding.


    It seemed that this world was called the Tianhui Continent, and the main divisions were three factions of different races¡ªmachines, mermaids, and humans.


    Judging from the conversation between the two unknown mechanical creatures and the refrigerator claiming to be ordinary, it seemed that human-machine tension had escalated to the point that machines would kill human trespassers in exchange for bounties.


    The exit of the alley was about 100 meters away.


    The sunlight outside couldn¡¯t come in. She could vaguely see the machines coming and going from her perspective. In addition to the refrigerator with mechanical hands and feet, there were many electrical appliances as well as more humanoid robots made of pure machinery.


    The sunlight shone on them, reflecting an icy luster unique to metal.

 CH 54.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 54.1


    The refrigerator snorted coldly and said, "You can''t leave. Whenever a human being appears on the street, it will be annihilated immediately. The city of machinery does not allow any humans, and trespassers are promptly eliminated. Your corpse will become fertilizer for our green plants."


    Lin Xinghe stuffed its partitions back.


    The refrigerator cursed again, "Dumb wrench! Stupid human being! I can''t even live in peace when I die! I''m going to die with scratches..."


    Lin Xinghe opened the door again.


    The refrigerator shut up.


    Lin Xinghe began to rummage through a pile of discarded machinery that smelled of rusty metal. After a while, she turned out a steel plate with four pulleys. She bent her fingers to tap it and found that it was quite strong.


    She took it out, and at the same time, she paid attention to the outside of the alley, noting if there were any robots coming in.


    Lin Xinghe turned left and right to look out for herself. Soon, she took out a vertical air conditioner, which was not heavy at all. After all, it only had a worn-out air conditioner shell. It was probably a decent air conditioner before its death. There was an irregular hole with many broken wires in it, which should have held the arms before.


    The size of the hole was much larger than the hole in the refrigerator. It must have been installed with a more elegant mechanical hand, unlike the thin seaweed hands of the refrigerator.


    The air conditioner casing was covered in an unnamed liquid produced from liquified rusted metal and smelled disgusting.


    Lin Xinghe found a relatively clean-looking cloth, wiped off the liquid on it with all her strength, and pulled out a large suction cup to fix the vertical air conditioner casing on the steel plate.


    She knocked off the two broken arms in the irregular holes with a wrench and installed two long handrails of different shapes and lengths.


    Lin Xinghe got into the air conditioner shell, and after closing it, the dense ventilation holes in front of her made it just possible for her to see the outside.


    She manipulated the handrail and slid the steel plate underneath. She was clumsy at first and almost hit the wall. However, she was pretty talented in sports. After skating a few times, she gradually mastered it, and she could use the handrail to brake and start more proficiently.


    She slid in front of the refrigerator and said, "Hello, I''m the air conditioner."


    ¡¾SL¡¯s basic exercises, #6. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahaha, the SL has completed the transformation from Barbaros Sea King to AC Man. ¡¿


    ¡¾Although the refrigerator has no expressions, its silence made me see its heart that was shocked beyond words. ¡¿


    ¡¾AC Man SL GO! Take over the land of machines! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan is a boss. It¡¯s been a half hour since he entered the exam room, and he has already conquered the mermaid city. Xie Wuan¡¯s audience is guessing whether he can finish the exam within half a day.¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe landed in the wrong place. If she landed in the city of mermaids, she would have a way to take over the city of mermaids. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hey, everyone, don¡¯t be too demanding of SL. She¡¯s still a newbie and landed in a place where magic and immortality were banned. It seems that she can¡¯t even use the portable space. How can she compare to Xie Wuan, who has rich experience and way too much power? ¡¿


    ...


    Naturally, Lin Xinghe didn''t know that Xie Wuan was ready to take over the city of mermaids, but even if she knew, she wouldn''t panic. This exam had just begun, and no one knew what would happen next.


    Lin Xinghe had always believed that she was lucky and that such psychological cues would bring her luck. Even if she encountered difficulties sometimes, she would not think that she was unlucky but rather that it was a manifestation of good luck. There was no way of knowing whether she would have encountered a worse predicament. Relatively speaking, the current predicament was also a good side of luck.


    It was so much so that when she occasionally looked back on her short life now, in the long run, she only felt that the thunder that killed her was not her bad luck, but rather good luck.


    When she was shocked to death, it was so sudden. She didn''t even feel any pain and felt it was a hallucination for a moment. Then, she came to the villain''s school, learned her life script in advance, and also experienced death in her original world. For all the scholars in her world, the existence of a world that they could not see in their entire lives might be the ceiling that they could never touch in their entire lives.


    So, she was lucky.


    This examination room landed in such a thrilling place. Perhaps in terms of the current situation, it was bad luck, but in terms of the overall situation, who would dare to pat themselves on the chest and say with 100% certainty that Lin Xinghe was just unlucky?


    Lin Xinghe slid back and forth a few times on the spot.


    Prescott finally got his voice back and said, "...You''ll be discovered."


    Lin Xinghe said, "I was hiding in your body and I wasn''t found. It can be seen that I may not be found when I go out. The mechanical voices that you can speak with are also human-like. I won¡¯t be discovered. I''ll go out for a walk first, and I''ll come back to you later..."


    Prescott felt that the human being in front of him was too bold and grumped, "You can''t come back, you will be found as soon as you go out."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Have you ever heard the saying? No pain no gain, no risk no reward."


    After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, she slid the four-wheeled iron plate under her feet.


    She felt it was no different from skiing.


    Although she had never skied before, she subconsciously felt that it was not difficult and she just needed to coordinate the balance of her body and control the strength of sliding.


    Lin Xinghe held the handrail and imagined the scene of skiing. It felt familiar for no reason. The cells in her body seemed to be screaming, and the adrenaline pumped in her bloodstream.


    Lin Xinghe was stunned, but in the end it was because she was excited about the unknown situation that was about to come.


    She slipped out of the dark alley.

 CH 54.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 54.2


    The sun outside shone down, the environment became brighter, and her field of vision opened up.


    The surrounding buildings were like dark alleys, dilapidated and cramped. The roads were also very narrow, and metal garbage on the roads could be seen everywhere. However, just across the street, there were rows upon rows of skyscrapers that looked very technologically advanced. The LED screen showed row after row of huge waves rushing forward. Above the huge waves, a mechanical pink robot with wings was posing in all kinds of cool poses, and there were advertisements below - Gentle pink, you deserve it.


    Lin Xinghe retracted her gaze.


    Most of the people walking on the streets around her were cumbersome electrical and mechanical creatures. There were not many mechanical creatures with complete hands and feet. There were many robots with two mechanical feet like the refrigerator, and only a few had mechanical hands. There were also many iron plates instead of mechanical feet. Robots with LED screens were even rarer.


    After Lin Xinghe carefully observed her surroundings for a while, she soon realized that the test site where she landed was not only the city of machines, but also the slum of that city. She strolled around and no mechanical creature noticed her strangeness.


    Most mechanical creatures were too busy with their own business.


    It didn''t take long for her to notice a microwave oven and a thermal oven with robotic arms and legs in an alley in the distance carrying a human corpse out


    The two were talking.


    "Made money, just after getting some Lu coins, I found another human."


    "Where did they come from? How did they get through the many barriers of the city gate?"


    "Don''t worry about what they came out of, it''s our business to kill and exchange the corpses Lu coins."


    "Hurry up, come over after getting the Lu coins, don''t let other robots take advantage of our money. There were at least twenty humans in the city today, right? This number was enough for the city owner to pay attention. The city lord has sent out the personal guards, and our fortune will be cut off. Before that, we need to find out how many there are.¡±


    ...


    Lin Xinghe could clearly see that the human being carried by the microwave oven was a candidate from the same examination room. It was unclear which department they were from. Not long ago, they had met in the waiting area of


    the examination room, but now he had become a lifeless corpse.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t feel too much emotion and immediately slid in front of the microwave and oven.


    She pretended to be surprised and said, "I saw six human beings emerging from the sky, and after a flash of white light, they appeared, right there!"


    She pointed to the alley in the opposite direction.


    "No robots have found out yet, brother, how about we make a deal? I can''t keep so many people, you do me a favor, just give me one after killing them. Six people, sixty Lu coins."


    The microwave and oven suddenly got a little excited.


    The human they saw was indeed transported from a flash of white light and then fell to the ground.


    ¡­ Six people, sixty Lu coins.


    . . .They took the bait.


    Lin Xinghe said again, "I¡¯ll be here to help you watch this corpse."


    The microwave oven and the oven looked at the air conditioner in front of them and saw that it had no mechanical arms and legs and was still using an old four-wheeled iron plate.


    After thinking about the temptation of sixty Lu coins, neither the microwave nor the oven could resist it.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe lowered her voice again and said, "Come on, there are machines over there that are about to pass. Those stupid humans don''t dare to come out yet.¡±


    The microwave oven and the oven were hesitant at first, but now that the opportunity was fleeting, they didn''t hesitate, and said viciously to Lin Xinghe, "...Don''t do any tricks."


    The microwave threw the corpse away and hurried to the alley over there with the oven.


    Lin Xinghe was not surprised.


    No matter what era, no matter what species, as long as you had a clear mind, most of them couldn¡¯t stand the temptation. If they could stand it, you didn¡¯t have enough bargaining chips.


    She looked down at the corpse on the ground and pushed it into the alley she had just come out of with the handrail.


    The microwave and oven would soon find out that she was lying, and their first reaction when they learn she was lying must be that she wanted to grab their bounty. They would only rush to the place where the bounties were exchanged and not search every alley carefully.


    However, she was also worried that the oriole was stalking the mantis catching the cicada, and after quickly entering the alley, she first dismantled the air conditioner and pulley iron plate, scattered them back into the garbage heap, and then stuffed the corpse into the refrigerator. She also hid in another place.


    Sure enough, human corpses were in high demand here.


    As soon as she finished everything, other electrical machinery came in.


    They looked around, couldn''t find it, and finally left cursing.


    As soon as they left, the refrigerator said, "Remove the dirty human corpse!"


    Lin Xinghe said, "But the dirty human corpse in your mouth can be exchanged for ten Lu coins, ten Lu coins, ten Lu coins, you know what it''s worth, it''s more than enough for you to get new parts!"


    The refrigerator was silent.


    Lin Xinghe knew that she was right.


    --------------------

 CH 55.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 55.1


    Lin Xinghe changed the conversation and said to the refrigerator, "But I won''t exchange him for Lu coins. I haven''t reached the abysmal situation of exchanging people for money."


    The refrigerator was a bit surprised.


    Lin Xinghe said to it with a smile, "I see you as a spineless refrigerator, are you willing to die like this? Don''t you want to live a good life? Have the best internal parts, the latest version of mechanical hands and feet, and even have the most trendy pink paint finish? Don¡¯t you want to not live in such a slum but rather in a high-rise building across the street? I don¡¯t know what happened to you, but you¡¯re still alive. You shouldn''t give up, people, oh no, no matter what species, as long as you don''t die completely, you can fight again. If you don''t fight, how do you know that you can''t turn things around?"


    The refrigerator said, "How do you know I didn''t fight?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "There are only a very few people who can succeed in one fight, and you don''t know how much effort is behind those who succeed in one attempt! If you fail, try again! Learn from it! Learn the lesson again! As long as you don''t die, continue! No matter how bad the situation is, it can''t be worse than staying in such a garbage place and waiting to die, can it?"


    Lin Xinghe added: "Comrade Fridge! Brother! Don''t be discouraged! Look, you have met me now! Although we are different races and we are still on opposite sides, it is our great fate to meet here today! It''s called destiny! And you should not die! Brother! Stand up! Let''s fight against fate! We can''t bow to fate!"


    The refrigerator retorted, "I can''t stand up."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "A disused air conditioner can stand up. You can grab a body from an oven and a microwave with all their limbs. You can still talk and you still have breath left in you. How do you know you can''t stand up if you don''t try? Besides, I am making your heart stand up, not your body. As long as you are willing to fight against your current situation, I will have a way to make you stand up.


    The refrigerator groaned, "Oh, you bullshit so loudly."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "First, do you want to stand up?"


    The refrigerator was silent for a moment and sighed, "What can you do?"


    Lin Xinghe said sharply, "You are not a human being. It is not because you are sick that you can''t stand up, but because of the old and bad parts in your body, just like all the broken machinery here. This is mainly because you don¡¯t have money, so there is no way to replace new parts, so you can only be eliminated and wait to die here."


    The refrigerator sneered, "You are a mere human and want to make money in the city of machines? It''s not bad if you don''t get killed."


    Lin Xinghe responded, "I went out and came back, did I get killed?"


    The refrigerator remained silent.


    Lin Xinghe continued, "Besides, you are a machine, and I am a human. You don''t know, there are no species in this world that can make more money than humans. Let''s make a bet, we will give you new parts and let you stand up again, at least how many Lu coins would that cost?"


    "Eight Lu coins for the lowest configuration, and for a higher core configuration, you need at least fifty Lu coins."


    Lin Xinghe said decisively: "Okay, let''s set 50 Lu coins as our goal, and I will give you 50 Lu coins within two days. Of course, it''s not without conditions. I''m new here, and I don''t know much about your city of machines. Be my guide refrigerator."


    The refrigerator¡¯s heart was thawed.


    ... It originally intended to just wait for its death, but now, since it had the opportunity to shoot for the stars, why not take it? Although the human being in front of him was probably full of bullshit, at least she offered an opportunity.


    He snorted coldly and said, "I''m not called Refrigerator, I''m Prescott."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, Comrade Xiaopu*, let''s start a vigorous revolution! Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Lin, name Xinghe. You can call me Comrade Lin."


    Comrade Xiaopu was dubious about Comrade Lin Xinghe, but he wanted to see how Lin Xinghe, a human being, could turn things around.


    How could she even leave this alley? She was talking about turning things around, but even this first step would be too difficult. A human body was worth ten Lu coins, so even if the robots outside were confused for a while, they would come back for a thorough investigation. When she was discovered, it would be a dead end.


    ...This girl, not bowing her head to fate¡­ when her head was cut off, she wouldn¡¯t even be able to bow her head.


    Lin Xinghe began to rummage through the garbage again.


    She had just seen a larger eight-wheeled steel plate that could accommodate the area of


    Not long after, Lin Xinghe pulled out a battery of a suitable model that could be used. Once installed, there was a faint light on the bottom.


    Lin Xinghe asked Comrade Xiaopu, "How does this operate? Is there a remote control? Is it voice-controlled? Or is it mind-controlled?"


    Comrade Xiaopu had been here for a few days, but he did not find such a steel plate for transportation. He suddenly felt that this human being was very lucky and said, "As long as there is a machine on it, it can control the direction."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Very good, you can stand up."


    Comrade Xiaopu: "I''m dying, I can''t move..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Weren¡¯t you very strong when you scolded me just now?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "Oh, that was my last strength..."

 CH 55.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 55.2


    Lin Xinghe said, "...Okay."


    Comrade Xiaopu sneered, "Isn''t there a way to get me to stand up? In the end, I have to beg myself to move? Throw your companion out, it''s dirty."


    Lin Xinghe opened the refrigerator door and took out the partitions, one piece, two pieces, three pieces...


    Comrade Xiaopu screamed, "...you stop!"


    Lin Xinghe threw the partitions in front of the steel plate and encouraged, "Come on, try it."


    As she spoke, she found another discarded wrench and pretended to smash the partitions.


    Comrade Xiaopu scolded and moved, and it took a lot of effort to get it to stand on the steel plate.


    Lin Xinghe spread out her hands and said, "Look, I can force you up..." She said as she stuffed the partition back into its body.


    Comrade Xiaopu has only one word in his heart: Fuckin¡¯ell.


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Where is your house?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "I couldn''t afford the rent, so I was kicked out by the landlord."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "How much is your rent?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "One Lu coin a month."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "The kind in the basement?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "Yes."


    Lin Xinghe had a general understanding of the prices here and said, "Let''s find a place to live first. We can go back to the original landlord and I''ll hide in your body. I''ll talk when I see your landlord, so don''t say anything."


    Before leaving, Lin Xinghe destroyed the casing of the air conditioner, divided it into four or five pieces, stuffed them into different garbage heaps, and disposed of the handrails. Then she said to Comrade Xiaopu, "Let''s go."


    Comrade Xiaopu replied, "I have one percent of battery left, and I don''t know how long it can last."


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s alright, you can use it first. If you can''t keep your power, I''ll think of other ideas. Oh yes, can I control this steel plate?"


    "Dream on."


    "Partition removal warning."


    "...Theoretically, it''s not impossible."


    Lin Xinghe found out that this refrigerator was more bark than bite, and its arrogance was a disease that needed to be cured.


    "How to control it? Hurry up and say it while you still have electricity."


    "I''ll give you authority, but if I''m out of power, you won''t be able to use it, and in our country of machines, this is an authority that only a significant other can exercise..."


    "You''re about to die. Don''t be so particular about it. Do you still want to live a rich and decent life? Permit me, or I¡¯ll tear down your partition if you don''t."


    Comrade Xiaopu: "Can you stop mentioning removing my partitions?"


    Lin Xinghe: "Will you give me control?"


    Comrade Xiaopu was very angry, but he found that there was nothing he could do with Lin Xinghe.


    It snorted coldly.


    "See a raised hemisphere? Put your hand on it."


    Lin Xinghe groped around for a while but didn''t touch it.


    Comrade Xiaopu scolded again, "Stop touching."


    Then, the refrigerator lit up.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe find the raised hemisphere, which was at the top of the refrigerator.


    She put her hand up, only to feel a weak current flowing.


    "Okay." Comrade Xiaopu''s voice was a little weaker, and there was even a little electric current. It took a lot of energy to maintain the dual control.


    ¡¾OMG! I haven''t been in a relationship for a long time, and now I look at the refrigerator and it looks good. ¡¿


    ¡¾No, it¡¯s SL who is too versatile. I also have a sense of CP** when I see SL and the refrigerator. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahahahaha high IQ beautiful koi petite sister X proudly poisonous tongue straight refrigerator? ¡¿


    ¡¾Don''t be snarky! I still can''t forget SL and Ling Xiran''s master and apprentice CP! ¡¿


    ¡¾The earliest Snow X Fire Maiden CP, I still have not let go of. ¡¿


    ¡¾Am I the only one standing in the unpopular CP? The brotherhood of Sea King Barbaros and the leader of the hadal ogres! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, only you. ¡¿


    ¡¾The popularity of the livestream is less than before, is it my illusion? ¡¿


    ¡¾It''s not an illusion, they probably ran next door to watch Xie Wuan go on a killing rampage. Let them go, anyways, I like the style of SL, it''s clever and funny, and I can never guess what she''s going to do next. My brain isn''t sharp enough to keep up with SL¡¯s thinking¡¿


    ¡¾The leader can compose a story of unrequited love in the city of machines with the refrigerator. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahaha I want to see it. ¡¿


    ¡¾I miss the first day of little cat fairy. ¡¿


    ¡¾I miss Xiao Xue Ji too T_T. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe didn''t know that she had gone through a few exam rooms and had been shipped with so many different people.


    At this moment, she only had one thought, which was to forge a bloody path as soon as possible in the city of machines. As for whether she were the first to dig out the storyline, she didn¡¯t care, it was just an extra ten points. Compared to the points from the popularity ranking, storyline points were just a drop in the bucket.


    She was also not worried that the Power Stone would be quickly destroyed by the bosses, thus ending the examination room.


    According to the setting of this world, in the city of machinery, she could not use the portable space and storage ring. One was a product of the fairy world, and the other was a product of the fantasy world, which proved that fairy arts and magic cannot be used.


    Although she was still not sure whether the situation of the Holy City and the City of Mermaids was the same as that of the City of Machines, the items related to the exam prompts such as the Power Stone would definitely not be in a place that could be easily found, just like the last test room¡¯s alpine rimeroses.


    Lin Xinghe thought to herself, this examination room was convenient for the students of the ancient department. The students of the ancient department whose bodies had been strengthened would keep their physique. Losing the crutches of magic and immortality, xianxia and fantasy students would be no different from modern students, and their fall would be inevitable when their power-thirsty mentalities collapsed.


    TL Notes:


    *Prescott is the original English name that the Chinese name for the refrigerator was derived from. The pinyin for its name in Chinese is pu-lei-si-ke-te, so Lin Xinghe calls Prescott ¡°Xiaopu¡± as in little pu, or little p. It¡¯s an affectionate nickname.


    **CP here means couple/ or character pairing.

 CH 56.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 56.1


    The house that Comrade Xiaopu rented was only seven or eight steps away from the alley where he intended to end his life. In less than two minutes, Lin Xinghe met Comrade Xiaopu''s landlord, a machine with a mechanical body and a computer screen humanoid head.


    Comrade Xiaopu told her on the way over that its landlord liked tenants calling it Mrs. Landlady.


    Mrs. Landlady''s voice was also a female voice, slightly sharp, and when she saw Comrade Xiao Pu, her voice became even sharper.


    "Oh, you owe me a week''s rent, and you finally showed up. I thought you were going to run away, you alien citizen machine. It¡¯s charity on my part to rent my house to you. You can only sleep on the street, and if anyone lacks a refrigerator and takes you away, you can only accept it. Now pay the rent quickly, and I will rush back to see Nina."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Mrs. Landlady."


    The landlady seemed a little surprised. The computer screen tilted her head and said, "Oh, you have money to change the sound card but no money to pay the rent?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "You¡¯re actually right. I have the money to change my sound card because I got a job. I can earn three Lu coins a month, and the boss says my voice didn¡¯t match, so he paid me half a month''s salary in advance and asked me to change the sound card. Mrs. Landlady, I couldn''t pay the rent because I didn''t find a job before, but now it''s different. I''ve found a job, and the boss is still very optimistic about me, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have already paid my salary in advance before I start working. You see, I have lived here for a while. Please accommodate me. When my salary is paid this month, I will pay you the rent immediately. If it is not paid by then, I will go to your house as a refrigerator. If you want to freeze something in the future, I will keep it for you to keep it properly frozen, and if you are bored, I can sing you a little song."


    Lin Xinghe softened and spoke in a sweet and soft voice.


    When she was in her world, although she hadn''t been in love, she was especially fond of her elders when she passed through places like the blind date corner. She coaxed the old grandmas and grandpas to the point where they were fighting to introduce her to their grandsons.


    The landlady didn''t escape Lin Xinghe''s attack. After speaking, although she couldn''t see its expression, its attitude was obviously different. The computer screen moved its head up and down and said, "It seems that you have learned a lot from the boss. Go work hard, and this month''s rent can''t be too late."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, great."


    The landlady turned back to the house.


    Lin Xinghe quietly opened the refrigerator and saw the landlady''s living room through a gap. She saw what was playing on the TV screen as high as the whole wall. It was what she saw on the LED screen of that skyscraper today. That 3D pink robot.


    It shook its head and held its chin in both hands.


    "Nina misses you so much."


    But then the door closed automatically, blocking Lin Xinghe''s sight.


    Lin Xinghe asked Comrade Xiaopu, "Who is Nina?"


    Comrade Xiaopu hadn''t recovered from the surprise just now, and he said after a while, "Oh, the best actor in our City of Machines."


    Comrade Xiaopu thought that he would be kicked out or disassembled by the landlady because he could not pay the rent.


    It was also for this reason that it chose to die in the garbage heap rather than being a lifeless refrigerator without dignity.


    Unexpectedly, Comrade Lin''s eloquent tongue made this picky and hard-to-serve landlady obedient and even let him stay for another month. Tony, who lived next door to him, was demolished by the landlady because he couldn''t pay the rent. The core parts of his body were now on the TV of the landlady''s house.


    Comrade Xiaopu opened the door of the basement.


    There was a damp and gloomy smell coming from the basement. Comrade Xiaopu turned on the light, and he ran to the charging pile in the corner to charge. Lin Xinghe observed this small basement. It was smaller than her portable space, and there were no beds, tables, chairs, or even a bathroom. It was empty except for the lights and the charging station behind Comrade Xiaopu.

 CH 56.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 56.2


    Comrade Xiaopu''s battery was increasing little by little.


    The more this happened, the more Comrade Xiaopu felt that he was getting old. The weakness when the battery was low could be attributed to the lack of electricity, but when the battery was sufficient, the aging of its internal parts could make it more clearly feel that his life was passing. It could even feel the scythe of the god of death hanging above its head as if it would strike at any time.


    It looked at Comrade Lin.


    She wandered around the room, lost in thought.


    She suddenly said to it, "Tell me about your City of Machines, and what else do you know about the Holy City or the City of Mermaids?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "Even about the Holy City? Are you not a human from the Holy City?"


    Lin Xinghe smiled sweetly and said, "Comrade Xiaopu, do you think I''m like a species from your Tianhui Continent? Of course not, I''m from the Red Continent."


    Comrade Xiaopu was shocked.


    "There are other continents in this world?"


    Lin Xinghe didn''t know if there were any other continents in this world, so she just said, "There are all kinds of wonders in this world, so don''t be bound by the box. When you replace your parts, maybe you can go out and explore the rest of the world. See some sights you can¡¯t see in the City of Machines.¡±


    Comrade Xiaopu felt a little touched in his heart, but he still felt that the human corpse lying in his body was very dirty. He snorted and asked, "When will you get your companion out?"


    "Don''t you have a freezing layer? Can you help me freeze the body? It will rot in such hot weather."


    Comrade Xiaopu asked again, "Is he your friend?"


    Lin Xinghe thought for a while and said, "Not really, but we humans have to stick together. Maybe I¡¯ll try to bring his corpse back. I¡¯ll give you an extra Lu coin for the freezer fee."


    Comrade Xiaopu hummed, "Strange."


    Comrade Xiaopu believed that she was not a human from Tianhui Continent. Otherwise, how could there be human beings who did not know about the Holy City? It stewed for a moment and said what it knew so far.


    The Tianhui Continent was divided into two parts, the land in the north and the ocean in the south.


    At first, the land was ruled by humans in the Holy City, and the sea was ruled by the mermaid clan. Both clans wanted to annex each other and incorporate the other kingdom into their own territory. However, the human clan and the mermaid clan were evenly matched. In the end, they had to make a truce.


    At this time, a great genius was born in the human race of the Holy City. He invented the Power Stone, created a mechanical army for the human race, and forced the mermaids to move to the depths of the ocean.


    At this time, the mechanical army developed intelligence. They were dissatisfied with the rule of human beings, and they wisely joined forces with the mermaid clan. After a whole decade of war, they formed the current situation of the three cities.


    After experiencing the devastation of war, the Holy City, the City of Mermaids, and the City of Machines had no ability or desire to ever wage war again.


    Fifty years had passed since the Battle of the Three Cities.


    Thanks to the protection of the skydome, the City of Machines developed rapidly and even had a civilization belonging to the machines.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What is the skydome?"


    Comrade Xiaopu boasted, "This is the greatest invention of us machines. There is a transparent cover outside our mechanical city that can resist and purify all attacks. The singing voices of the mermaid clan are blocked by the dome, so when they come to this city, they¡¯re just stupid fish out of water."


    Lin Xinghe understood.


    It seems that it was the skydome that made her portable space and storage ring malfunction.


    That was to say, only the city of machinery had a skydome, and neither the Holy City nor the City of Mermaids had one. The fantasy and xianxia students who landed outside the City of Machines could still use their magical abilities and cultivating techniques.


    So, wasn¡¯t this world a story of humans and robots fighting each other?


    But they also brought in a mermaid clan.

    When Comrade Xiaopu saw that Lin Xinghe stopped talking, he thought she was shocked by the development of the City of Machines.


    Although it was not yet a citizen of the City of Machinery, it had been proud of it since it was given life. Although human beings created them, the machines¡¯ wisdom came later and developed their own civilization.


    Today, their mechanical city was thriving and prosperous. Under the leadership of the great Lord Andrew, they would definitely unite the three cities in the future and stand at the top of the food chain.


    ...It''s a pity it was running out of time.


    Its life was about to run out.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly said, "I want to go to the rich area now."


    Comrade Xiaopu was shocked by her words, raised his voice, and said, "Impossible, what do you think a rich area is? It''s different from our slum area. The security measures in the rich area are strict, even in every corner, there are CCTVs 24/7."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Is there no surveillance in the slums?"


    Comrade Xiaopu said, "Only fakes, of course. Our great Lord Andrew also took into account the safety of the slums and installed surveillance, but most of the machines in the slums are worried about their livelihood, and many are forced to steal. Every time a surveillance system was installed in the slum, the valuable parts in the surveillance cameras would be stolen within a few days, and everyone would exchange them for money. Over time, the surveillance here turned a blind eye, so most of the people here are not citizens of the City of Machines. You would have been hunted down the moment you got here otherwise.¡±


    Comrade Xiaopu said, "Don''t go to the rich area, as long as you are exposed to the surveillance, you will be captured, and within five minutes, you will be shot dead."


    "Okay."


    Comrade Xiaopu was already very familiar with Comrade Lin''s "OK", every time she said it, the next words would contradict it completely. Sure enough, Comrade Lin asked, "Are you fully charged? Let''s pick up some garbage and assemble it. I''ll go to the rich area to see. If you don''t try it, how will you know it won''t work?"


    Comrade Xiaopu wanted to ridicule her, but at this moment it expected that she might threaten to remove his partitions again, and simply shut up. After charging, it went to the garbage dump with Lin Xinghe again.


    Probably because too many humans came to the City of Machines today, black robots roamed in the streets of the slums tonight. They held heavy weapons and carefully searched every alley.


    Comrade Xiaopu told her, "That''s the personal guard of Lord City Lord Andrew."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "That''s what they''re looking for? Are there no instruments to detect humans? For example, scanning detectors, wouldn''t this reduce their workload?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "...That¡¯s true, I never thought about it."


    Lin Xinghe felt relieved when she saw that the city lord''s personal guards were all searching manually.


    When the guards passed by them, they didn''t react at all.


    Lin Xinghe felt even more relieved.


    After the guards left, Lin Xinghe assembled a new, unremarkable, and tattered air-conditioning man from the rubbish piles that had been turned over by them.


    Then, she told Comrade Xiaopu to go back.


    After all, Comrade Xiaopu was on the verge of death now, and she would still need its help in the future.


    Air conditioner Lin Xinghe went to explore the wealthy area.


    Compared to the dirty and dark slums, the rich areas were the difference between heaven and earth.


    The streets were clean and tidy. Most of the people walking were robots, and there were very few machines like the landlady. Lin Xinghe, an air-conditioned person who had no mechanical arms and legs and relied on four-wheeled steel plates to walk, was like an anomaly, and many robots even cast their eyes on her.


    Lin Xinghe ignored it.


    It was already dark, and the volume of the slums dwindled down, while the rich areas were still feasting.


    The buildings with 3D plasma screens glowed in the dark.


    Lin Xinghe went to the building.


    She watched every robot that entered and exited the building.


    Lin Xinghe finally saw the pink robot from the 3D projections. Its hands and feet looked very flexible. When it walked out of the building, Lin Xinghe didn''t know what it was talking about. Lin Xinghe, but she vaguely heard a girl¡¯s angry yet coquettish voice: "...I don''t want to go, I''m bored. I hate humans, so I don''t want to learn from them."


    A cyan robot followed behind it.


    "Nina, you have to listen to the company''s arrangements."


    "I won''t listen, I won¡¯t! I don''t want to go,¡± the robot named Nina said before stretching out a pair of mechanical wings and flying away.


    The cyan robot stayed in place for a long time before it sighed.


    Suddenly, another robot came out in a hurry. Probably because AC Lin Xinghe looked too much like a disposed of, dead machine next to a trash can, the two robots didn''t notice her presence. The content of what they said floated into her ears clearly.


    "Today, a lot of people from the Holy City came to the city, and most of them were killed, but I found out that there is another one in the black market. It''s a woman. There is an auction at 11 o''clock tonight. I heard that the prices are going up. It''s one hundred Lu coins."


    "One hundred Lu coins? I saw Myron going to the black market just now. He probably went to buy it. Rose has been overshadowed by Nina for so long, and even her endorsement has been robbed. Rose and Myron have been very unwilling. Boss, should we also go to the black market to participate in the auction? We can''t let Myron grab it."


    "It''s useless, Nina resists human beings and refuses to learn anything from them. Nina is too arrogant and stubborn to accept the knowledge of the Holy City. If it goes on like this, Rose will take away all this current glory. It will be too late when she realizes. The audience is forgetful. There are too many newcomers in our industry who want to make names for themselves. It is not that we cannot hate human beings or resist human beings. If we want to stand firm for a long time in this industry, we have to learn from humans, the Lord..."

 CH 57.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 57.2


    The cyan robot seemed to think of something, looked left and right before lowering his voice and said, "I always thought that Lord Andrew¡¯s rejection of all human beings is an expression of fear. Why can''t he accept the advantages of human beings? There is a saying in human history, learn from barbarians to control them."


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised to hear this sentence. It seemed that the human history of this world was similar to her previous world history.


    Another robot said, "Be quiet, boss. If the guard hears you, you will be deprived of your citizenship. Are we going to go to the black market? Just to watch Myron and them buy humans?"


    "If you don''t go, I don''t even want Myron to get the human. Go and report them anonymously. It''s about the human beings in the holy city. Lord Andrew can''t ignore it."


    The cyan robot saw that the air conditioner in a garbage dump suddenly moved, and suddenly became a little wary. Unexpectedly, the air conditioner walked directly in front of it and asked him, "Are you Nina''s boss or manager?"


    The sound of the air conditioner was agile, not as rigid as a mechanical sound card, which made Haywood''s eyes shine brightly.


    The current mechanical sound cards were all human-like. Although you couldn¡¯t tell any difference just by listening to the sound, you will find that there is still a difference after listening for a long time. Even if the robot had the same voice, it couldn¡¯t sound like a human. There was a special aura that they didn¡¯t possess.


    Haywood took a closer look at the AC in front of him and asked, "Who made your mechanical sound card?"


    While speaking, Haywood had already thought of snatching up this talent.


    How could Lin Xinghe not hear that in his tone? She said, "I can tell you, as long as you talk to me privately, and there can be no third person present."


    And that''s exactly what Haywood wanted, saying, "Okay."


    Haywood brought Lin Xinghe to his apartment.


    It planned to wait for the air conditioner to answer, then kill it, remove the sound card, and find a new robot. Nina was so disobedient that it would drag itself down one day.


    However, what Haywood did not expect was that when it closed the door of the apartment, the air conditioner in front of him suddenly made a loud noise.


    Lin Xinghe kicked off the air conditioner casing and appeared in front of Haywood.


    She said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lin Xinghe. I am a human, not from the Holy City, nor from your Tianhui Continent, I am from the Red Continent. I used to be a professional actor and have a wealth of acting experience. I don''t need dubbing, I have a natural appeal on camera, and my acting skills are remarkable..."


    Without waiting for Haywood to react, Lin Xinghe presented four highly emotionally-charged performances with different emotions for Haywood, laughing, crying, happy, sad.


    Haywood was stunned, never expecting the human being in front of him to be so bold, that she dared to offer herself in front of it.


    Lin Xinghe added, "I know you have concerns because I''m a human and your city doesn¡¯t accommodate human beings. But working with me will definitely be high-risk high-reward. I can proudly say that when it comes to acting, I am a professional, even among a group of human beings. As long as you can keep my identity secret, I can be your cash cow. And I only have one need, I need money. If you give me money, I''ll do anything for you, and you don''t need to go to humans to learn. I can even teach you anything you want to know about humans. Oh yes, I can also write scripts. I''ve seen them Nina¡¯s TV series, but the lines are so poorly written, dry and emotionless."


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe added, "Of course, you can rest assured, I have no ill will towards your city. I just want to prove myself here, when I earn enough money, you can send me away, and I¡¯ll be a legend of yours. No one will know that you once colluded with human beings, and the people of the city of machines will only know that you have created a robot worthy of legend."


    Haywood was moved.


    A day later, Comrade Xiaopu did not see Lin Xinghe come back, so it thought she died outside. It went out to inquire about the news, and the breeze blew a promotional flyer onto the ground next to it.


    Comrade Xiaopu picked it up and took a look.


    If it had eyes, they must have been wide open at the moment.


    A silver computer screen robot was printed on the promotional paper. It was different from the popular robots that are mechanical from head to toe. It has a relatively tall and huge body, reminiscent of the trend from twenty or thirty years ago.


    The following advertisement read-


    Xinghe brings you the retro experience.


    Comrade Xiaopu: ...Oh, Comrade Lin has made her debut.


    --------------------

 CH 58.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 58.1


    ¡¾Oh? I often can''t keep up with SL because my brain doesn¡¯t work fast enough...]


    ¡¾SL finally picked up her old job. Now is the first time I¡¯ve actually believed the rumors¡­ ¡¿


    ¡¾For those who don''t believe SL used to be an actor, have you forgotten Fire Maiden and Sea King Barbaros! She performed flawlessly! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahahaha, most of the other candidates are still digging the plot with NPC clich¨¦s, while SL has successfully debuted in the country of machines! That being said, it wasn¡¯t bad luck for SL to land here. ¡¿


    ¡¾No, it¡¯s only good for the SL. Would you dare to step out of the slums? There are surveillance cameras in the rich areas, and if you were found, you would be annihilated on the spot! Would you dare to negotiate with Haywood? As long as you take one wrong step, your life will be lost in minutes! Therefore, SL is not lucky, but rather courageous and careful to bring about today''s situation. ¡¿


    ¡¾Uwu, SL is really an actor, I couldn''t even see her expression, but when she spoke, it was very infectious, and I was brought into the story without knowing it. Coupled with her emotional voice, wow, I want to cry! I want to make a call for SL! Want to spend money on SL! ¡¿


    After Haywood and Lin Xinghe teamed up, Haywood was even more afraid than Lin Xinghe that her human identity would be discovered, so he racked his brains to get Lin Xinghe a mechanical body with a high safety factor.


    Unless a robot broke open her body, it would be impossible to find the human hidden inside.


    However, Haywood believed that it is impossible for the robots to do this. No one would have thought that such a bold human being would hide in a mechanical body and appear in the city of machines in a grand manner.


    At first, Haywood was worried.


    After all, it had only seen Lin Xinghe once and immediately agreed to team up with her.


    But soon, Lin Xinghe''s marketing talent conquered his worries.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Don''t get me a robotic head, I want a computer screen head. I read the history of your robots¡¯ development. This kind of head was popular decades ago, but it was replaced by a more human-like head after the development of technology. If you want me to be remembered by the public quickly, I need a marketing point that is different from all robot stars, and we can use a retro name."


    Haywood disagreed.


    "Technology is developing, and all robot stars are at the forefront of technology and trends. A head like yours is equivalent to stepping back decades. Our audience will not buy it."


    Lin Xinghe said: "No, you don''t understand what I mean. Your robots are different from us humans. If you want to change your head or your body, as long as you have money, you can change them anytime, and the public will accept it. If I want to appear in the public''s attention and topics within a certain period of time, there must be a different selling point to bring out my voice and acting skills, don''t you? So what if I am an air conditioner without mechanical arms and legs? As long as the audience remembers me, I can replace your mechanical heads at the forefront of technology and fashion in the later stage. At that time, my voice will be iconic. No matter how I change my face, the audience will remember me, and I wear a retro character. You can arrange for me a rather dramatic background and background, which can make it easier for the audience to remember me."


    Haywood was persuaded and gave her a retro computer screen head.


    Haywood was going to take Lin Xinghe to the company to take promotional photos.


    He also had to convince the company that his retro robot was worthy of supporting.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Do you have any script? I can act on the spot."


    Haywood took a few scripts for her to choose from.


    After Lin Xinghe read the scripts, she was slightly startled and asked Haywood, "Who wrote these?"


    Haywood said, "Our company''s screenwriters wrote the story frame, which was collected and generated by intelligent AI, and then modified and polished by our company''s screenwriters."


    Lin Xinghe soon discovered a problem.


    The robots in the City of Machines hated humans, but they did their best to imitate humans. The protagonists of their scripts were all robots, but their actions would only make sense if they were humans.


    But robots were robots after all. Their emotional systems were not developed enough, and their emotions were not as diverse as human emotions. The scripts they created were dry and had perfect writing skills, but they lacked delicate emotions.


    But¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Have these scripts been performed? Did the audience like them?"


    Haywood replied, "Yes, the heroines were all Nina, and the audience''s response did not meet our expectations. We did research, and most of the audience thought the story was good, but it lacked appeal and felt mediocre. If it hadn¡¯t been for Nina¡¯s fan following, they would have had no views"


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Can you be infected by human emotions?"


    Haywood replied, "Although we are robots, we are all given life. Economic development to a certain extent naturally requires spiritual entertainment. Most of our emotions are in their infancy. Many actors with mechanical sound cards will install several sound lines, or set the tone according to the personality, but unfortunately it is not as flexible as humans.¡±


    Lin Xinghe understood.

 CH 58.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 58.2


    She said, "Your scripts also have plotholes. For example, in this script, your heroine is set to be a kind, lively and a little confused robot, and there are several scenes revolving around forgetfulness, but sometimes they¡¯re contradictory. You robots have chips in their brains, so you can never forget things. If the protagonist were a human, she could even have different types of forgetfulness based on the circumstance. For example, for a girl in love, her IQ can drop to a negative number, but if her significant other has any signs of cheating, her IQ will soar to above two hundred. And even a girl with a delicate mind, she can''t remember all the paths she has traveled, but she can remember the chat records of her significant other and the suspected ambiguous woman five years ago. You see, human emotions are so complicated, you robot screenwriters can''t write it, because you can''t experience it..."


    Lin Xinghe added, "Since your emotions are still undeveloped, you might as well make this point to the extreme, so that you can distance yourself from your competitors from the script."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Do you mind if I revise the script? I¡¯ll just change a few paragraphs."


    Haywood''s brain had already processed and digested Lin Xinghe''s words, causing it to think, and it immediately said, "Of course."


    Lin Xinghe changed a few paragraphs immediately and improvised in front of Haywood.


    Haywood immediately felt the difference between real humans and robots, especially in acting talent. It originally thought that Nina was good enough, but now that it saw Lin Xinghe, it completely understood a human idiom - the difference between the sky and the abyss.


    Haywood took Lin Xinghe to the company.


    Lin Xinghe''s performance immediately persuaded the company''s executives, who allowed Haywood to manage the newcomer.


    Soon, Lin Xinghe was pulled by Haywood to shoot a short film that was put on a prime-time commercial.


    The retro-styled Galaxy robot* had firmly attracted the attention of the public. Although it was an old robot, its life experience and background touched many audiences.


    Its wonderful performance in the short film was an instant fan favorite.


    The speed of information dissemination in the mechanical age was unimaginably fast. The advertisements were put up one night, and people on the street the next morning already knew the name of the Galaxy Robot. Even the landlady of Comrade Xiaopu was watching Xinghe¡¯s  short film.


    "I didn''t expect an old robot''s performance to be so contagious. I felt like I would short circuit in an instant."


    "Hey, that¡¯s not old, can you talk? That''s called retro."


    "Looking at Xinghe, I also want to change my head to retro."


    "I don''t know what model Xinghe''s head is?"


    "It''s already sold out, don''t ask, you can''t buy it even if you do ask. Now, you can only customize it. I used to dislike my grandmother''s inability to keep up with the trend. I thought it was old-fashioned. The latest type of head is light, compact and has many functions. Now I know that I am indeed a small fish.** The price of my grandmother¡¯s head has doubled by ten times.


    "I''m officially off Nina! Nina is a small fish compared to Xinghe!"


    "Ah, I want to know where to buy Galaxy¡¯s sound card? Is it advanced customization? It costs a lot of money for such an aura of sound? Or is there a big tech giant behind it? I also want to buy a sound card like this!"


    ...


    As soon as the Galaxy Robot debuted, it did not have any works, and only appeared in a short film, which caused a heated discussion.


    Haywood was clear in his heart.


    This was no accident.


    This was inevitable.


    Robots had been imitating the human entertainment world and pursuing the human spirit of entertainment, although no one was willing to admit that.


    Galaxy Robot was not a robot at all; she was a human.


    This was the difference between a genuine product and a substitute.


    If the Galaxy Robot were not popular, there would be no logic in this world.


    Under Haywood''s arrangement, Lin Xinghe owned a high-end apartment and had legal citizenship. She found that the citizenship here was similar to the passports and identification of first-tier cities in her before-novel. People in the slums crowded their heads to get citizenship. After she contributed to the city of machines, her miserable life in the slums ended. Someone from the Citizenship Bureau of the City of Machinese approached Haywood and said that they could provide Lin Xinghe with a citizenship.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t even show up. With the help of Haywood, she easily acquired the legal citizenship of the City of Machines.


    And at the same time.


    Outside the gate of the City of Machines, the mermaid tribe was ushered in.


    When they left the sea and set foot on the land of the City of Mechanics, their beautiful fish tails turned into straight and slender legs.


    The leader was a tall man with a slender figure. He raised his eyebrows, and looked around with clear eyes


    He was wearing the gorgeous costume of the mermaid clan, and he was playing with a string of unpolished beads in his hand.


    If you got close, you could still smell the smell of fish bones.


    The mermaid beside him glanced, tremblingly stepped forward, and said to the robot guarding the gate: "I... our new city lord specially prepared a generous gift to celebrate the birthday of Andrew, please tell Andrew to let us in. ."


    --------------------


    TL Notes:


    * Xinghe¡¯s name means Galaxy, so here, they use the meaning of the characters of her name to advertise her robot persona.

 CH 59.1

    In the apartment room.


    While Haywood and Lin Xinghe were discussing the next TV series to be filmed, there was a sudden slam on the door outside the house.


    Haywood waited for a long time without hearing for the smart housekeeper¡¯s reminder and asked, ¡°Was this apartment not equipped with a smart housekeeper?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It was originally installed, but I had it removed. Although they say that the smart housekeeper has no life and is just a tool robot, things connected to the Internet are inevitably unsafe. I am afraid that people with sinister intentions will use the loopholes of the smart housekeeper to spy on me, so to be on the safe side, I had it removed.¡±


    Haywood said: ¡°Our smart housekeeper and the company have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and it would not disclose it to the outside world. Only the owner has permission to view all the monitoring in the house. You are too cautious¡­¡±


    Speaking of this, Haywood said with great pride, ¡°I heard from your descriptions that the technology of the Red Continent has not reached the level of our city of machines. You should experience the technology of our city of machines.¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied,  ¡°Your city of machines is not a society ruled by law. The person in charge of your city is your city lord Andrew. Its orders are higher than the law, and it also has the highest authority over the entire city. Imagine if Andrew wants to check my smart housekeeper. Would the NDA still apply?¡±


    Haywood fell silent.


    This was something Haywood couldn¡¯t take into account.


    Robots were given life by human beings, became a slave of human beings, and awakened again under the leadership of Andrew.


    Later, they settled in the City of Machines, and they were programmed to always be loyal to Andrew.


    So they never thought about whether Lord Andrew would monitor them.


    Haywood cooperated with a human being. If it were just a simple mechanical program, it would definitely annihilate human beings without hesitation, but it had been endowed with life and had the capability to think. Under its thinking, it did not think that it was not loyal to Andrew.


    It was using a human being to make money without harming the interests of the City of Machines.


    What¡¯s more, when it earned enough, the human would leave, and everything would be covered up. As long as its confidentiality measures were well done, even if the world ended, no robot would know that it has worked hand in hand with humans.


    Now Lin Xinghe posed this question.


    Haywood was lost in thought.


    Its mechanical mind quickly made up its mind.


    It said, ¡°If I come to you to talk about something in the future, I will go back and find a reason to quarrel with the smart housekeeper company to delete the past playback function, including the playback in the cloud, so as not to arouse suspicion from above. Your voice is too special. If the city owner¡¯s interest is aroused, the city owner will definitely want to see the robot who made your mechanical sound card. This is not difficult to solve. You can start from your background. Let¡¯s make up a talented foreign expert¡ªyou met them by accident, and they disappeared after they gave you a high-end mechanical sound card. Even if we can¡¯t hand over the robot, the city lord would not be suspicious¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe liked working with such a decisive and smart robot.


    At this time, there was another impatient knock on the door.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to see who it is,¡± Haywood said.


    Haywood opened the door.


    Nina¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°You really are here, Haywood, don¡¯t you want me? Are you going to hold that outdated computer guy? You bought an apartment for it in just a few days? I followed you for years before you let me change the house. Are you going to share my resources with it? Are you punishing me? Just because I didn¡¯t follow your advice to learn human acting?¡±


    As it talked, it strode past Haywood and came in.


    Its gaze fell on Lin Xinghe.


    It said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Don¡¯t think that your flattery can bring you glory? Human beings are our enemies! Are you proud? Do you think the attention you get in just a day or two can surpass me? You think too much, you¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe interrupted, ¡°No, you think too much. I never thought about surpassing you.¡±


    Nina thought she was showing weakness and was about to be complacent, but it heard her voice change and said, ¡°You are you, I am me, I don¡¯t need to surpass you at all, I am a special existence. I debuted less than two days ago, My computer screen of the same model was sold out. I just made a short film to make the public remember me. Haywood and the company executives thought I had potential, so they arranged for me a high-end apartment, and even the machinery of the Citizenship Bureau. People also think that I have made a huge contribution to the entertainment of the people in the city of machines, and registered me as a citizen from the ghetto. Are you comparable to me? Your only advantage is that you have been famous for a long time.¡±


    Nina didn¡¯t expect the computer person in front of her to be so arrogant¡ªshe even scolded people without swearing. It was so angry that it didn¡¯t know what to say for a while.


    ¡¾¡­Nina is still too fresh, no one can compare to the leader of the sect. ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s too fixated on its fame, that¡¯s why it¡¯s arguing with SL. After all, the SL is a legendary hustler who can even fool villain bosses! ¡¿


    ¡¾I still haven¡¯t processed SL¡¯s instant debut. When other people die while exams, SL actually makes her debut in the examination room, and she debuted so well¡­¡¿


    ¡¾The leader¡¯s livestream can surprise people every time hahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, you can never guess what the leader wants to do next. ¡¿


    ¡¾What is the leader trying to do with the identity of a retro robot? Can she find the power stone like this? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, Xie Wuan next door has already infiltrated the city of machines! ¡¿


    ¡¾I heard that Xie Wuan wanted to make SL into a figure. :worry: ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m really looking forward to meeting the leader and Xie Wuan! It will feel exciting! Very touching! I want to see the two bosses fight! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe has only gone through two exam rooms, so she¡¯s not a big boss, right? Compared to Xie Wuan. ¡¿


    ¡¾Why can¡¯t you compare? Entering the City of Machines, celestial powers and magic cannot be used. Even if Xie Wuan has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich experience in exams, our leader¡¯s unexpected cleverness may not necessarily lose to Xie Wuan. ¡¿

    Nina was really angry. It used its system to search for good quarrel sentences to fight against Lin Xinghe.


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe could counter every sentence without swearing.


    After a few rounds, if Nina could cry, it would be crying now.


    It ran to Haywood and said, ¡°Is this the new guy you want to promote? There is no quality at all.¡±


    Haywood couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and said sternly, ¡°Nina, you and Xinghe are both artists from the same company. Even if she is your junior, you can¡¯t disrespect others like this. Come and apologize to Xinghe.¡±


    Nina: ¡°I¡¯m right, I won¡¯t apologize.¡±


    Haywood: ¡°If you don¡¯t apologize, I will cancel all your trips tomorrow, including singing for Lord Andrew at the ceremony.¡±


    Nina was finally scared.


    It had prepared for the ceremony tomorrow night for a long time.


    It didn¡¯t want to lose this opportunity.


    What a proud thing to sing at the city owner¡¯s birthday celebration and brag about it! Everyone around it knew about it, and if it didn¡¯t go, it would be very embarrassing.


    Nina finally came over and apologized to Lin Xinghe.


    It probably set a sincere tone, so the apology it said was quite sincere.


    Haywood sent Nina away and then said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Don¡¯t take it to heart, Nina¡¯s set up like this.¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t care about this at all, she was more concerned about something else.


    She asked, ¡°What type of show is Nina singing for Lord Andrew in?¡±


    Haywood said, ¡°It¡¯s not a show. Tomorrow is the birthday celebration of the city lord. Lord Andrew has never liked extravagance, nor does he like to celebrate, and he had always been very low-key. But after all, it is the birthday of the ¡®Lord of the City.¡¯ This year, many gifts and programs have also been prepared, one of which is Nina singing ¡®The Great Machine City¡¯ to Andrew.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Where is the birthday celebration of the Lord of the City?¡±


    Haywood said, ¡°In the castle.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s heart moved slightly and asked, ¡°Can I go see this for experience?¡±


    Haywood was a little embarrassed and said, ¡°This may be a little difficult. The castle is heavily guarded, and civilians have to apply for a month in advance to enter, and then do an entrance check for a pass. On the day of the birthday celebration, you can only enter the castle with the pass.¡±


    After hearing what he said, Lin Xinghe knew that there was a way. As long as the advantages given were attractive enough, Haywood would find a way for her.


    Lin Xinghe heard the words and said with a smile: ¡°Have you heard of this phrase? ¡®Hide in plain sight.¡¯ You bring me into the castle, and I will try to get the city lord to notice me. A recently debuted robot who received the favor of the Lord of the City can quickly make a name for itself.¡±


    Haywood said, ¡°The city lord doesn¡¯t like entertainers.¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°I don¡¯t plan to use my acting skills to entrance the lord. I can do whatever I want. I will play a good robot so that the City Lord won¡¯t find out.¡±


    Despite the short time together, Haywood was very convinced of Lin Xinghe¡¯s ability.


    He thought about it and agreed.


    ¡°I¡¯ll find a way to help you get a pass,¡± Haywood said again, as if thinking of something, ¡°You better be careful, I¡¯ve heard the news, there will be people from Mermaid City at tomorrow¡¯s birthday celebration. And their city lord. You don¡¯t want to interfere with the political affairs of the two cities, so you must stay away.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Will the city lord of Mermaid City also celebrate Andrew¡¯s birthday?¡±


    Haywood said, ¡°No, that¡¯s why I think Mermaid City appears to be well-intentioned. These things are beyond your control. Remember to stay away from politics.¡±


    After Haywood left, Lin Xinghe walked out of her mechanical body.


    She seemed to be thinking.


    After a while, she suddenly said out loud, ¡°The other two cities have no restrictions on magic and immortality. Robots are malicious to humans. The city owner of the city of mermaids must be Xie Wuan. Xie Wuan has entered the City of Machines.¡±


    She didn¡¯t murmur, as if she knew where the livestream camera was, her brows and eyes twitched with laughter, and the light above her head shone down, making her skin as white as cream. Her eyes lit up, and she was in high spirits.


    ¡°I have a bold idea,¡± she said.


    Anyone who is familiar with Lin Xinghe¡¯s exam style knew that she wanted to do something exciting, something grand¡ª a true shit-stirrer!


    There was a lot of discussion.


    ¡¾Oh? What does SL want to do? ¡¿


    ¡¾The leader wants to engage with Xie Wuan? ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m looking forward to it! Anyway, Xie Wuan was going to make SL into a figurine, the SL doesn¡¯t need to be gentle. Now that they are in the city of machines, the difference in strength between the two is not that big, and Xie Wuan will be killed! ¡¿


    ¡¾Do it! Go go, SL! Do stuff!¡¿


    ¡¾SL has really caught up with Xie Wuan, especially in terms of popularity!¡¿


    ¡¾Weakly asked, which do* are you referring to? ¡¿


    ¡¾Doing something? Or doing someone?  ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Anyway, it¡¯s all doing, Xie Wuan has very extraordinary looks, so SL should do him along with the things in her plan. ¡¿


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C

 CH 60.1

    Lin Xinghe knew that she didn¡¯t have much chance of winning against a big boss like Xie Wuan.


    After all, Xie Wuan was an S-level candidate. He went through too many exam rooms to count, and he had many more points than she did. These points were enough for him to buy any number of items from the interplane mall, including body-enhancing potions.


    Because Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t have enough points, she didn¡¯t consider buying props to strengthen her body for the time being.


    Therefore, in terms of physical combat ability, she was inferior to Xie Wuan.


    Even though the City of Machines blocked magic, if she really met Xie Wuan face-to-face, she wouldn¡¯t have much chance of winning. However, although the chance was low, it did not mean that she had no chance of winning. A 0.1% chance of winning still a chance


    She could fight for that 0.1% chance.


    Lin Xinghe and Haywood applied for an assistant.


    Haywood was a little surprised and said, ¡°It isn¡¯t suitable for you to have an assistant¡ª your chances of being discovered are too high.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No, I have a personal nominee. It knows that I am human.¡±


    When Comrade Xiaopu was taken to Lin Xinghe¡¯s high-end apartment, it looked at the environment of the apartment.


    Comrade Xiaopu received the Lu coins that Lin Xinghe promised it just yesterday.


    It did not obtain the latest parts but rather chose older parts. It mostly invested in mechanical hands and feet, and now it was much easier for it to move, and the rent it owed to the landlady had also been paid.


    It saved the remaining Lu coins for the future.


    Comrade Xiaopu still felt shook.


    The human being in front of it was truly amazing¡ªin just a few days, it created a miracle in the city of machines, bringing a new look to a dying machine.


    However, Comrade Xiaopu was still stubborn.


    ¡°Did you let me come here to show off your apartment and citizenship? Then you failed, and I won¡¯t be envious, because I¡¯ll be able to have it later! Hmph!¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew very well how to deal with such arrogance. Following its words, she said, ¡°Yes, I just asked you to show off, how about it? My high-end apartment looks fancy, and my citizenship is enviable.¡±


    Comrade Xiaopu didn¡¯t expect Lin Xinghe to be so shameless, not knowing how to refute her for a while.


    ¡°I¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe interrupted it and said, ¡°Don¡¯t stay fixated on this, I have a job opportunity for you¡ª come and be my assistant!¡±


    Comrade Xiaopu was slightly startled, ¡°Huh?¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Are you willing?¡±


    Comrade Xiaopu asked, ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said boldly, ¡°Because you were the first robot I met in the City of Machines, I think we were fated to meet. Also, I trust you, and I think you are worthy of my trust.¡±


    ¡°¡­Who was fated to meet you, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Comrade Xiaopu turned its body, opened the door of its refrigerator with its newly-bought mechanical hand, took out a bottle of human drink worth 1 Lu coin, and handed it to Lin Xinghe.


    ¡°Here, I, Prescott, never owe humans any favors, go drink it.¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it¡ªit was a bottle of Yakult.


    In the City of Machines, you can actually sell each bottle for 1 Lu coin?!


    However, Lin Xinghe thought about it in a blink of an eye and realized that a place like the City of Machines was full of robots. Robots didn¡¯t need to eat or drink, so there was no market for human drinks here. Some curious robots probably collected them.


    She glanced at the date¡ªit expired three years ago.


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t bear to attack Comrade Xiaopu¡¯s behavior of returning the favor, so she pondered slightly, and said, ¡°Oh, Yakult, I like to drink it, but something like Yakult has to be kept first, the longer it is left, the more mellow and fresh the taste will be. ¡®82 Yakult is the best, and this date is a bit fresh. I¡¯ll keep it for a few more years, thank you so much.¡±


    Comrade Xiaopu was satisfied and said, ¡°Hmph! Let¡¯s talk! What do you want me to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe whispered to it.


    Comrade Xiaopu made a shocked voice: ¡°¡­Say that again? Are you serious? Kill the lord of the mermaids?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said solemnly, ¡°Of course I¡¯m serious.¡±


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-


    Xie Wuan was placed in a hotel five kilometers away from the castle at this moment.


    Although Andrew let the mermaids in, he did not receive them in person and only sent a robot over to place them casually.


    ¡°City¡­ City Lord, I¡­ I asked, City Lord Andrew doesn¡¯t seem to have any plans to summon us today. City Lord Andrew rarely interacts with our mermaid clan, and our mermaid clan did not send gifts in previous years. I¡­ I listened around, City Lord Andrew has always been very suspicious, we rashly came to give it a gift, it will definitely think that we have ulterior motives and will not easily receive us in person.¡±


    The one who spoke was a mermaid named Jed.


    It was a gatekeeper in the city of mermaids, just an obscure mermaid. Just two days ago, a human fell from the sky, killed the old city lord¡¯s family of 36 with amazing force, and ascended the throne of the city lord of the Mermaid City.


    He also made fish beads from the fish bones of the lower body of the old city lord. They were not polished, and when he rubbed them in his fingers, he could rub off some ashes.


    Jed felt a little pain in its tail.


    ¡­It wondered where the monster in front of it came from. It had the power of a god but not the kindness and mercy of one. Jed thought he might be a fallen god.


    It couldn¡¯t guess what the fallen god wanted to do at all, and it was trembling in its heart for fear that the fallen god would kill it if he were unhappy.

 CH 60.2

    6-7 minutes 21.01.2022


    After it finished reporting, it lowered his eyes.


    The new city lord did not speak for a long time, which made Jed a little frightened. It was even considering staying in the City of Machinery, where the ability of the new city lord was limited, and he would not be able to kill Jed so easily.


    While Jed was thinking about it, he heard a beautiful song.


    It looked up quietly.


    The new city owner was watching a video on the computer.


    On the screen was a robot with a computer screen head singing a song.


    Jed couldn¡¯t understand the aesthetics of robots before and felt that everything about them was so rigid and unsurprising. But the robot in front of him had a very lively aura, and its voice contained emotion, which made it, a mermaid, unable to help but sneak peeks at the owner of the voice.


    At this time, the new city owner quirked an unexpected small smile and complimented, ¡°How familiar.¡±


    He directed Jed, ¡°Tell the mermen to inform my illustrious self* if they happen to locate this robot.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream chat was quite lively.


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe next door said she wanted to kill Xie Wuan! Hahahahahahaha this is the best joke I¡¯ve heard today! ¡¿


    ¡¾I just want to see how the boss can make Lin Xinghe into a figurine! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe may not know something, Mr. Xie already knows that she is the Xinghe robot and is waiting for her to come over. He is drinking tea calmly at the moment. Lin Xinghe is gonna get off-ed soon. ¡¿


    ¡¾Where is the new anchor from? To rub off on the popularity of our boss? ¡¿


    ¡¾Exactly, I¡¯ve never heard of her. ¡¿


    ¡¾It was the owner of the pet that happened to enter the boss¡¯s space and eat the Jinwudan. Everyone was envious of her at that time, but I knew that with the character of our boss, eating a Jinwudan would cost her her life. ¡¿


    ¡¾Where in the world is there a free lunch? Lin Xinghe is still too naive! Her little trick, the boss has already seen through it. ¡¿


    ¡¾Although the machine city has banned magic and immortality, the boss¡¯s melee skills are also good. A weak woman like Lin Xinghe is not a match for the boss at all. I watched the live broadcast of Lin Xinghe¡¯s last exam room. Without the help of her pet and the fantasy boss Jiuge, she would have died long ago. In the end, she still relies on the ability of others to survive. ¡¿


    ¡­


    The barrage was heatedly discussing the happenings.


    Jed had already informed the underlings of the city lord¡¯s command.


    It was a coincidence that as soon as he ordered this, Jed saw a robot with a nice voice from the computer. It made a reservation at the front desk, and soon, the desk robot gave it a transparent room card.


    Jed hurried upstairs to inform the new city lord.


    Xie Wuan asked slowly, ¡°Which floor does she live on?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s our floor, the room at the end of the hallway,¡± Jed said.


    Xie Wuan hummed lightly and commanded, ¡°None of you are allowed to have contact with her.¡±


    Although Jed didn¡¯t understand why, he still conveyed the order of the city lord.


    At this time, only Xie Wuan was left in the room.


    He sipped the tea brought by the robot, and opened his mouth leisurely, as if talking to himself and also as if interacting with the livestream audience, only to hear him say, ¡°Interesting, now that my cultivation has been sealed off and my portable space has been deactivated, today, I have only a mortal body, and it is indeed the best chance to kill me. Lin Xinghe is very aggressive in her movements, and she appeared as soon as I arrived. Unfortunately, her experience is too shallow, so her coming alone is an act of death¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan put down the teacup.


    He rose and walked towards the window.


    He pressed the alarm button.


    Immediately, the alarm bell rang throughout the hotel.


    Soon, a robot manager hurried over.


    Looking at the mermaid city lord standing safe and sound, the robot manager felt very baffled and asked, ¡°Did something happen? Or do you have any requirements? You can directly issue the requirements on the panel. The alarm bell should only be pressed when there is an invasion of foreign enemies¡­¡±


    The robot manager cursed the mermaid city lord again in his heart and at the same time sent orders to other robots to appease the other guests in the hotel room.


    As an MMP in its heart, the robot didn¡¯t show any emotions on the surface and said in a very sincere tone: ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, we didn¡¯t explain it to you clearly. Please don¡¯t press it wrongly, City Lord.¡±


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°A human has been sneaked into this layer. I¡¯m just giving you a reminder. Believe it or not, she is hiding in a mechanical shell.¡±


    Before waiting for the robot manager to respond, Xie Wuan shut the door.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream chat went off.


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe next door will miserable. ¡¿


    ¡¾They haven¡¯t even fought once! Lin Xinghe¡¯s hard work in the City of Machinery is about to be abolished. ¡¿


    ¡¾Who will go to Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream? Go light a candle. ¡¿


    ¡¾There is nothing to go to, Lin Xinghe will definitely be killed by the mechanical NPC if she is discovered, and the livestream will be closed in 60 seconds. It¡¯s better to watch Xie-boss lead a massacre. ¡¿


    ¡¾Just a newcomer, nothing to see, I¡¯ll focus on the big boss for a hundred years without wavering. ¡¿


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C


    TL Notes:


    *Because Xie Wuan still talks like a xianxia immortal, he refers to himself with a Chinese pronoun-type phrase (±¾×ù) that has a ¡°immortal, high class¡± connotation. This is usually only used in ancient China or in jest, and it¡¯s supposed to sound ludicrous and lofty in terms of modern language.

 CH 61.1

    The robot manager didn¡¯t think that there were really humans in the hotel. How could a human be so stupid to hide in the body of a robot? Humans needed to eat and drink, and any of their actions would be captured by surveillance, and they would be killed on the spot.


    However, the mermaid city lord spoke up, and the robot manager knew that it could not just dismiss the matter.


    When it came to the human race, it mattered a lot.


    If City Lord Andrew learned that a human had somehow infiltrated into their hotel and they didn¡¯t find the perpetrator, it was the equivalent to betraying the City of Machines. The hotel would definitely be closed in the future if they didn¡¯t strictly investigate and give an explanation to the guests.


    After the door closed, the robot manager immediately issued a notification.


    ¡°All robots pay attention. Blockade the hotel. No one can leave until they pass the test. Send additional staff to the sixteenth floor. No room can be spared. Security team: find and monitor every robot the mermaids came into contact with.¡±


    The security team quickly relayed the surveillance to the robot manager.


    The robot manager knocked on doors after doors, indicating his intention.


    The robots in the City of Machines were willing to cooperate with the investigation when they heard that it was possible that a human being was among them. Even so, they all thought that it was impossible to have a human being hidden in a mechanical body, and no human would be stupid enough to do so. But they had the same thoughts as the robot manager¡ª if they didn¡¯t cooperate with the investigations, they would be under suspicion of colluding with humans.


    Therefore, in order to clear the suspicion, they all cooperated magnanimously with the robot manager and allowed professional masters to open up their bodies. The suspected confidential parts were covered up by their coding program, and it was clear at a glance whether there were hidden humans in them.


    Soon, the robot manager came to the last room on the sixteenth floor. According to the surveillance, the guests in the room had also been in contact with one of the mermaid underlings, and it was the star robot that became popular in the past few days.


    The robot manager knocked on its door.


    An old-fashioned robot with a computer screen came out.


    The robot manager expressed his intention, asked the robots around it to search the room, and finally said to the Galaxy robot, ¡°According to eyewitnesses, human beings have mixed into our hotel, for the sake of Lord Andrew, for the sake of the peace of the City of Machines, I need to open up your body to confirm whether there are human beings hidden in it. You can rest assured that the secret parts inside your body will activate the security protection program. In addition, all my actions today will be recorded on video, and you have the right to view the tapes afterwards.¡±


    The master picked up the tool and stepped forward to open the body of the Xinghe robot.


    The barrage of the chat in Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream almost blocked Xie Wuan¡¯s figure.


    ¡¾Ouch, the boss is too calm, won¡¯t you go watch? ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan won¡¯t go, so there is no live perspective! I also want to see how Lin Xinghe gets caught! ¡¿


    ¡¾Who will go to Lin Xinghe¡¯s live broadcast room? Then come back and stream it. ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯ll go see! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ah, I¡¯m back! The live broadcast room on Lin Xinghe¡¯s side was also very lively, and it was no different from ours. The barrage blocked the whole screen. It takes points to clear, and I am not willing to do so. Whoever has the most points, go and see! ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Who would spend points to clear the barrage of a small anchor¡¯s livestream! ¡¿


    ¡¾There are all koi sects stickers with other symbols of luck there, everyone is posting them, maybe they are begging for Lin Xinghe¡¯s luck to protect her hahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe is hiding in the machine, and her luck can¡¯t do anything about it. ¡¿


    ¡¾Ah, someone is knocking on the door of the boss! ¡¿


    ¡¾Shh, stop typing! Maybe we can see Lin Xinghe¡¯s corpse! ¡¿


    ¡­


    However, the moment the door opened, a group of robots rushed in.


    At the front was a black robot, the captain of Andrew¡¯s personal guard.


    It stated coldly, ¡°Mermaid City Lord, our city lord said that if you disturb the order of the city of machines and create panic, we have legitimate reasons to expel you. Our city lord specially ordered that there is no need to celebrate his birthday, and you should go back and be the lord of your mermaid city.¡±


    As soon as the voice fell, a group of black robots rushed forward and escorted the merman city lord and the other mermaids who had just moved in all the way to the city gate.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s expression froze, but he didn¡¯t say anything and gracefully swept away behind the black robot.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream:


    ¡¾? ? ? ? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾Can anyone tell me what happened? ¡¿


    ¡¾Sameee. ¡¿


    ¡¾Holy shit, go to Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream! The boss was tricked? ¡¿


    ¡¾What? ? ? ? ¡¿

 CH 61.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 61.2


    At this time, Lin Xinghe was shaking the 3-years-past-expired bottle of Yakult in her high-end apartment. Beside her was Comrade Xiaopu''s refrigerator.


    Lin Xinghe held a walkie-talkie in her hand, and Comrade Xiaopu''s voice came from it¡ª


    "Hmph, there''s nothing I can''t do."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "They left?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "They left the hotel. Those people dismantled your body and asked the master to reconstruct it after seeing it. If you want to watch the video, I can ask the hotel manager for it."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Have you seen the lord of the mermaids?"


    Comrade Xiaopu: "Yes, the mermaids around him seem to be very afraid of him." Matter-of-factly, Comrade Xiaopu added, "Comrade Lin, although the city of machines doesn''t communicate much with the city of mermaids, it''s a good thing you didn¡¯t kill their city lord and instead drove him away."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, come back."


    Comrade Xiaopu said again, "Have you calculated this step long ago? Did you know that the lord of the Mermaid City will break you down?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "It is not a calculation, but rather an assumption of what I would do in the mermaid lord¡¯s shoes."


    Just an hour ago, under the guidance of Comrade Xiaopu, Lin Xinghe, who had permission to the core component chip of Comrade Xiaopu, dismantled her components and installed them on the new body that Haywood built for her.


    Her body became a citizen of the City of Mechanics with a unique code.


    Comrade Xiaopu inherited her body, went to the hotel, and deceived Xie Wuan.


    Lin Xinghe said to Comrade Xiaopu, "Come back now, don''t stay in the hotel for too long. Oh, yes, when you come back, pick up a package. Haywood paid me three months'' salary in advance to buy things."


    Comrade Xiaopu: "Comrade Lin, saving is a virtue! Do you still have money to pay me wages?"


    Lin Xinghe: "...I can fool Haywood into paying you wages."


    Comrade Xiaopu had seen Comrade Lin''s eloquence and shut up.


    Just as Lin Xinghe was sitting on a high chair, dangling her legs, and eating the tasteless nutritional and physical supplement that Haywood bought for her, a large portion of Xie Wuan''s livestream audience poured into her live broadcast room.


    ¡¾Fuck! Lin Xinghe was not in the hotel! Xie Wuan was fooled! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe is so cunning! She actually deceived Xie Wuan! Amazing! ¡¿


    ¡¾Holy crap! Lin Xinghe is really the king of trickery. She actually has the ability to fool a local robot to open his body control to her! No wonder Comrade Xiaopu can use Lin Xinghe''s voice! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is invincible! With Comrade Xiaopu charging ahead, she can be the one behind the scenes holding ¡®82 Yakult! No one will ever find out who she is! Xie Wuan fell for it! ¡¿


    ¡¾Blow up, my fairy! Go, go, fighting! My fairy can fly with confidence! Your fans are always with you! ¡¿


    ¡¾The 3rd day of missing Xiao Xue Ji. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hmph, those people who despise SL, just wanted to come here and peep! The people in Xie Wuan''s livestream also preached that the SL was going to lose. It is clear at a glance who is losing now. ¡¿


    ¡¾Don''t say too much, Xie Wuan hasn''t left the city yet! ¡¿


    ¡¾So what if he doesn''t leave the city, can he come back? They were all kicked out by Andrew. Andrew doesn''t seem to welcome the mermaids. ¡¿


    ¡¾Whatever! Anyway, in the first round between SL and Xie Wuan, SL won! To be able to defeat Xie Wuan, even if only once, one must be very powerful! ¡¿


    ...


    At this time, Comrade Xiaopu came back, carrying a huge box.


    Also coming back with it was Haywood.


    "...Scared me to death. I heard that a human in the St. Mary''s Hotel was hiding in the robot. I was so scared that my chip was about to combust. If you were discovered, I..." Haywood''s voice tapered off.


    It looked at Comrade Xiaopu next to it, then at Lin Xinghe.


    Haywood''s face was full of question marks.


    Lin Xinghe was not very familiar with dismantling parts the first time, but now she had become somewhat skilled.


    She opened Comrade Xiaopu''s body and disassembled its chip parts, but instead of putting it back into the original refrigerator body, she opened the package.


    It was a Galaxy model, the same that she hid in, that she expeditiously customized.


    "...You don''t have to worry, the hotel represents City Lord Andrew, and there is a video saved. The body that you customized for me was dismantled in public, and the inside was clear at a glance, which means that it had been clearly seen in the public eye. Even if someone suspects others again in the future, it is impossible for them to suspect me."


    Lin Xinghe explained to Haywood the relationship between her and Comrade Xiaopu.


    Haywood was shocked when it learned that Comrade Xiaopu had opened up its physical authority to Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Now that I have two Xinghe robots, we can exchange identities at any time, which is equivalent to double insurance for our safety. How about that?"


    Haywood said, "Wonderful!"


    Lin Xinghe handed it a piece of paper.


    "Then settle the bill."


    Haywood was willing!


    It was only now that it understood the meticulousness and wisdom of the human mind. No wonder humans could create power stones that gave life to simple machines.


    Comrade Xiaopu woke up. It looked at its brand new body and brand new mechanical hands and feet, but it was not surprised.


    On the way to the hotel, Comrade Lin had already told it about its work description.


    To outsiders, it seemed that its job was to be Comrade Lin¡¯s assistant, but it was actually a body double.


    It looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe greeted it with a smile, "Hi, Comrade Xiaopu."


    Comrade Xiaopu snorted again, "Uglyass fancy equipment."


    ¡¾Hahahaha omg! This refrigerator robot is so arrogant! It clearly liked the upgrades. I caught it peeking at its new body several times. ¡¿


    ¡¾Wow! After SL entered the machine body, the two robots were exactly the same, and it was impossible to tell which was which! ¡¿


    ¡¾After all, they are all machines, not humans, so they must be exactly the same. ¡¿


    ¡¾Comrade Xiaopu and Lin Xinghe really have a sense of CP. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hold up. ¡¿


    --------------------

 CH 62.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 62.1


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    She turned on the surveillance.


    A strange robot stood outside.


    Comrade Xiaopu said, "Oh, it''s a delivery robot. Did you buy something again?"


    As it said this, it walked towards the door.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Wait a minute."


    Comrade Xiaopu looked at Lin Xinghe confusedly.


    Lin Xinghe got into her mechanical body and let it close around her.


    Lin Xinghe said to it, "Do you remember what I told you before? It''s about how to be a double."


    Comrade Xiaopu replied, "It''s all recorded in my programs."


    Lin Xinghe said, "You stand here and I''ll open the door."


    Lin Xinghe walked to open the door.


    The robot handed over a square package.


    Lin Xinghe said, "This is not my package, you sent it to the wrong address."


    As soon as her voice tapered off, the robot rushed into the room as fast as lightning, and a sharp blade popped out from its arm, aiming directly at Lin Xinghe''s heart.


    The blade was glowing with a cold light, and it seemed to be made of the special material of the City of Machines, which could easily pass through the metal layers of robots.


    A cold voice sounded out of the machine-


    "Lin Xinghe, did you like the gift I gave you?"


    ¡¾Fuck? ! ¡¿


    ¡¾What the fuck!!! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan''s voice! ! ! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ah, ah, I just came back from the livestream of Xie Wuan. SL¡¯s in trouble! What the fuck? How is Xie Wuan so fast? Did the two meet? I just wanted to tell SL to be careful, Xie Wuan is back! ¡¿


    ¡¾What happened? The boss is playing tricks, I''m at a loss? Wasn''t Xie Wuan kicked out of the City of Machines? ¡¿


    ¡¾No no! Xie Wuan regained his magic when he left the city of machines. He used illusions to make the robots believe that he had left, then attacked a courier robot outside, directly taking its body to hide in. He really entered the city of machinery in a grand manner! Then, he quickly found Lin Xinghe''s address! Directly killing method! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan''s livestream is saying that the boss is truly a boss! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan is too good! Even if he has no force value, his IQ is still online, did you really think that Lin Xinghe will drive Xie Wuan out with a bluff? Of course not! Xie Wuan has the real trick! Now Lin Xinghe has exposed her weakness in the City of Machines! Xie Wuan knows that Lin Xinghe has a substitute! ¡¿


    Her life was on the line.


    The Koi Sect believers in Lin Xinghe''s livestream chat were so nervous that their hearts beat in their throats.


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe calmly and boldly said, "Xie Wuan, are you interested in me? You have come all the way to the City of Machines to give me such a big gift and give me a chance to show my innocence in front of the public and dispel the possibility of Andrew''s doubts about me. Now, you¡¯ve come to the door and pointed your sword at me because I didn''t return your gift, are you unhappy?"


    She asked sincerely, "Can I give you a kiss in return?"


    ¡¾Fuck? Her death is imminent! Lin Xinghe dared to tease Xie Wuan! Does she want to seduce him! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan does not fall for this set of tricks! Looking at Xie Wuan''s skin, you can see how many people like him! Once a glamorous villain boss flirted with him, Xie Wuan slapped him to death with a slap! Totally incomprehensible! When other candidates encounter glamorous NPCs, some can''t hold back and start it! Xie Wuan slapped him to death! It''s no different than swatting mosquitoes! ¡¿


    ¡¾It is said that Xie Wuan has been single for ten thousand years. In the original Xianxia world, he followed the route of the villain boss without emotions or desires. His only hobby was to collect figurines. He is considered the top otaku in the Xianxia world! ¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck, this scene is wonderful, I paid some money to see Xie Wuan''s expression! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahaha! Didn''t expect that Lin Xinghe would dare to tease him when she is about to die! ¡¿


    ...


    After a long time, Xie Wuan spoke.


    "...No."


    Lin Xinghe replied wistfully, "Is it really impossible? I''ve never kissed anyone before..."


    Xie Wuan brushed her off lightly, "I''ve watched your two livestreams. I''m familiar with your exam style, and playing tricks doesn''t have any effect on me..." After a while, he added, "It''s the same with seduction, so don''t play tricks. Come be my puppet¡ªthis is the fate between you and me."


    The tip of his knife moved forward slightly, piercing the metal surface of Lin Xinghe¡¯s robot encasings.


    The audience in Xie Wuan''s livestream chat popped off!


    ¡¾Ah ah ah ah, can you see the famous scene where the boss makes a figurine again! ¡¿


    ¡¾Kill Lin Xinghe! She spoiled the last exam and monopolized all the alpine rimeroses, and I didn¡¯t get the guaranteed minimum points even with this body of strength. She¡¯s only been through two exam rooms and she¡¯s already so arrogant, no wonder Xie Wuan is targeting her ¡¿


    ¡¾So excited! I can''t wait to see Lin Xinghe''s blood on a blade of the City of Machines! ¡¿


    ...


    And at this moment, Lin Xinghe said without changing her face, "Xie Wuan, have you ever thought that I am not Lin Xinghe?"


    She gave orders to Comrade Xiaopu.


    Comrade Xiaopu''s body played Lin Xinghe''s prerecorded voice, "Xie Wuan, I am Lin Xinghe..."


    Comrade Xiaopu pointed to a button an arm''s length away.


    "Maybe you can kill me and my stand-in at once with your strength, but if you me, do you think you can escape this city?"


    Lin Xinghe issued a new order to Comrade Xiaopu.


    Comrade Xiaopu added, "My agent Haywood is already downstairs. If anything happens to me, the video here tonight will be sent to it in its entirety, and it will be synchronized to the city owner Andrew here."


    Lin Xinghe once again gave orders to Comrade Xiaopu.


    Comrade Xiaopu had 18 pre-recorded audios of Lin Xinghe, including Lin Xinghe''s breathing. They were broadcast one by one according to Lin Xinghe''s instructions.

 CH 62.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 62.2


    Xie Wuan looked at the two identical computer robots.


    His livestream chat was in an uproar.


    ¡¾Wait, which one is the real Lin Xinghe? ¡¿


    ¡¾Go to Lin Xinghe''s livestream to steal the answer! ¡¿


    ¡¾Your barrage is irritating my eyes! Go to Lin Xinghe''s livestream quietly, don''t disturb the fight between the boss and Lin Xinghe! So wonderful! Their situations keep reversing, and you can''t guess who will die in the end! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe has only gone through two exam rooms and is able to compete with a boss. Over time, she will be a terrible boss! The future is limitless! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ahhh, who is the real Lin Xinghe? The sound has been processed by the mechanical sound card, and there is no difference in saying it! If you don''t look at it from Lin Xinghe''s perspective, you can''t find her at all! How did Lin Xinghe do it? ¡¿


    ¡¾Just because you can''t tell, doesn''t mean that the boss can''t tell! ¡¿


    ¡¾Although Xie Wuan''s immortal arts and personal space are banned, and his body has not been strengthened, his five senses are different from ordinary people... You see, Xie Wuan is activating his five senses, he is probably listening to the sound of breathing? ¡¿


    There was the sound of parts working in the machine.


    If the breathing sound were slight, it would be completely covered up.


    Lin Xinghe had been holding her breath for two minutes.


    The limit of time a healthy adult can hold their breath without training was three minutes.


    At this moment, she already felt that she was a little hypoxic, and her head was spinning.


    Even so, she didn¡¯t forget to convey the instructions to Comrade Xiaopu.


    Comrade Xiaopu released the faint breathing sound recorded by Lin Xinghe in advance. It was very light and soft, like the breath that she couldn''t help letting out after holding it for a long time.


    At that moment, Xie Wuan''s eyes locked onto Comrade Xiaopu.


    ¡¾Turn your volume up! I heard breathing! The Lin Xinghe beside Xie Wuan is fake! ¡¿


    ¡¾The one far away is the real one! ¡¿


    ¡¾The boss should target the robot! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, the person who opens the door usually isn¡¯t the real person. ¡¿


    ¡¾The livestream audience next door is laughing so hard they can¡¯t breath.¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe''s breath-holding was almost at the limit.


    The audience watching her livestream sweated for her.


    Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds...


    Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds...


    At this moment, the blade controlled by Xie Wuan shrank back and changed back to a mechanical hand.


    Lin Xinghe immediately made a loud noise and ran towards Comrade Xiaopu.


    At the same time, she took an imperceptible breath, and her head stopped spinning.


    She conveyed instructions to Comrade Xiaopu again.


    Comrade Xiaopu played her voice again, "Xie Wuan, let¡¯s see how we fare in this exam room? In the City of Machines, your strength has been greatly weakened, and although I am not as strong as you, I am not alone here. If you insist on killing me, I¡¯ll take you down with me. I¡¯m just a C-level candidate now, and you are an S-level candidate. If you die here, that would really be a waste. I¡¯ll just pretend tonight¡¯s events didn¡¯t happen, and no one else will know. I don''t care what you are going to do in the mechanical city, well water won¡¯t touch river water.*"


    Xie Wuan''s eternally cold voice became even raspier, "You have caught my interest even more. I look forward to the day when I can turn you into a figurine. I will leave you a high-profile position."


    After speaking, Xie Wuan left.


    Lin Xinghe walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.


    She saw Xie Wuan walk out of the apartment building.


    Under the night sky.


    He seemed to notice and turned to look back.


    The floor on which Lin Xinghe lived was not low. Looking down, the buildings and robots below looked like little people, and she couldn''t see clearly, but Lin Xinghe somehow felt that Xie Wuan had seen her.


    Soon, Xie Wuan had completely evacuated the premises.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe take a deep breath. She touched her face, which was covered in sweat.


    In the first two exam rooms, there was no such sense of oppression when dealing with the villain boss, but when she faced off against Xie Wuan, that sense of oppression made her nervous to the extreme.


    But luckily it passed.


    If her timing had been off by just a second, she would really have become a figurine in Xie Wuan''s space.


    Comrade Xiaopu came over and asked, "Have you calculated his actions long ago?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "It''s not a calculation, I just think long-term. He is a very dangerous person. I have to take one step forward and think ten steps in advance."


    Lin Xinghe''s livestream chat was completely obscured by barrages of 666.** Nearly one-third of the people in Xie Wuan''s live broadcast room came over, which made Lin Xinghe''s livestream popularity soar instantly, allowing her to enter top ten on the platform. Xie Wuan''s livestream popularity also dropped from third to fourth.


    The distance between the two was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    --------------------


    TL Notes:


    *Well water is stagnant and stays in the well, while river water moves down the river. Lin Xinghe is basically saying that she¡¯ll do her own thing and won¡¯t bother Xie Wuan if he leaves her alone.


    **To Westerners, 666 is the devil¡¯s number, but in Chinese, 666 (liu liu liu) sounds like smooth smooth smooth. Lin Xinghe¡¯s audience is saying that she smoothly did something that would be hard/impossible for anyone else, not cursing her and calling her a devil.

 CH 63.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 63.1


    Gu Taoyao didn''t expect her deskmate to be so stubborn as to fight Xie Wuan one-on-one!


    She almost forgot to breathe.


    She nervously watched the popularity ranking of the plane livestreams.


    Although her deskmate almost died in Xie Wuan''s hands, this time, she had spirited away nearly one-third of Xie Wuan''s popularity, which made her own popularity rise exponentially.


    In the past, as long as Xie Wuan took an exam, he would always be in the top three. Pretty much at the beginning of the exam, his popularity would already be in the top ten. The first and the second, well, he was not the only boss in the school. There was also a fighting master in the ancient department, Qi Qing, and Jiuge from the fantasy department, etc. Jiuge had no ambition, and his whole brain was preoccupied by thoughts of hair maintenance. It was just that his strong defensive ability and excellent appearance fascinated many plane audiences.


    At this time, Jiuge hadn¡¯t entered an examination room. Qi Qing was performing brilliantly in another examination room, and now he was at the peak stage of the examination, firmly occupying the first place.


    Xie Wuan''s two misses made him fall out of the top three.


    Gu Taoyao glanced at the second and third candidates. She didn''t know them and had never heard their names.


    But Gu Taoyao was not surprised. She had heard from the seniors before that those who can enter the villain school were all villains. Other than in the weak modern department, every once in a while, there would always be newcomers with outstanding abilities.


    These newcomers could always easily climb to the top ten, or even the top five and top three thrones.


    These newcomers were very dangerous to most candidates in the school.


    When powerful candidates took a lot of exams, it was obvious what their exam-taking strategies and abilities were from the livestreams or the gossip of others.


    The newcomers were different. Their first exams as newcomers hardly got attention, but they were able to finish the exam in a very short period of time. When they entered the new school-wide exam, they were dark horses.


    It was precisely because of this that these newcomers could launch surprise attacks, and many up-and-coming bosses who were favored by the public had died in the hands of these newcomers.


    Gu Taoyao was both admiring and afraid of these bosses.


    Their abilities were too outstanding, and they were focused on graduation. It wouldn¡¯t take long for them to leave the school smoothly and get replaced by a new student.


    But at the same time, in order to graduate quickly, they killed everyone they came across. When these incompetent modern department students met such bosses, it was inevitable that they would not escape the fate of being killed.


    Gu Taoyao heard from several seniors that several newcomers who were now bosses killed at least 20 candidates over their time at the school and walked a bloody road to the gate of graduation.


    Gu Taoyao had not been in the school for a long time and had never seen it with her own eyes. Out of curiosity, she clicked into the livestream of one of the bosses. It was a mandatory exam room, and the assignment of candidates was random. After seeing the skills of the boss, the rest of the candidates avoided him for fear of encountering him head-on.


    Gu Taoyao squatted for a few minutes, finally seeing the skills of the boss, she couldn''t help taking a breath.


    ¡­This skillset was really a heaven-sent gift!


    ¡­ The candidate not only had dual-type fire and ice magic, he could deal burst-type AOE and had long-lasting stealth skills. He could face off against the boss directly or just assassinate it.


    But if he was in an exam room where magic was suppressed, he was less than an insect. A renowned boss could be attacked by any newcomer.


    Gu Taoyao heard that the big bosses in the school had encountered such newcomers, and some of the bosses had even died in the exam room.


    Gu Taoyao suddenly felt that her deskmate was lucky to meet Xie Wuan in this exam room. At least she knew about Xie Wuan''s abilities. If she really wanted to fight against him, she could probably find a way to defeat him. That deviant Xie Wuan was very obsessed with his prey. He never allowed others to touch his prey. If he really encountered other newcomers who wanted to attack her deskmate, he might even help Lin Xinghe avoid the situation.


    Gu Taoyao left the newcomer''s livestream and returned to Lin Xinghe''s.


    It was already late at night in the examination room.


    Comrade Xiaopu stayed in her apartment. Her apartment had two bedrooms and one living room, which just happened to leave Comrade Xiaopu a room. Although her robot was old-fashioned, it was very inconvenient to charge and did not have a socket. It was wirelessly charged.


    The huge robot body was placed beside her.


    Lin Xinghe sat on the high chair, shaking the expired Yakult that Comrade Xiao Pu bought her.


    She didn''t rest.


    There was one thing she couldn''t figure out, so she couldn''t sleep.


    When Xie Wuan held the tip of his blade to her heart, she heard an indiscernible sound of rapid breathing. It was very soft, but she caught it. However, the circumstances at the time did not allow her to think too much, so she did not think about it then.


    Now that the crisis was over, she had to think about what his rapid breathing meant.


    Was he afraid?


    He shouldn¡¯t have been. Xie Wuan was at an advantage at the time, so he couldn''t have been scared.


    Was he nervous?


    That would be even more impossible. How could a big boss who had experienced a hundred battles be nervous?


    Lin Xinghe really couldn''t figure it out. After thinking about it, she couldn''t come up with a reason, so she simply gave up. Anyway, the soldiers strictly guarded the country, so Xie Wuan wouldn¡¯t do anything too outrageous. Her main goal for now was to find the Power Stone in the castle.


    Fortunately, Haywood was very capable and efficient, and it got her a pass the next morning that would allow her to enter the castle with the company staff that night.


    However, Comrade Xiaopu was not a citizen of the City of Machines, so it couldn''t enter the castle with Lin Xinghe.


    Before Lin Xinghe left, Comrade Xiaopu said proudly, "If I could enter the castle with you, I would be the best assistant, but unfortunately I can''t get in."


    Haywood replied, "I can''t apply for citizenship for the time being out of fear of attracting the attention of competitors. After a period of time, no one pays attention, so I will ask a friend of mine to do it."


    Lin Xinghe assured, "This matter is not a big priority."


    Haywood asked her, "Do you really have a way to make Lord Andrew like you? Nina''s singing is a program that has already been scheduled. Now there is no way to change it, and there is no way to replace it. You have no chance to get on stage."


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s okay, I will find a way to make Lord Andrew notice me."


    Haywood repeatedly reminded her, ¡°You have to be careful. Don''t get found out."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Don''t worry, trust me, I will give you a satisfactory result."


    After receiving repeated assurances from Lin Xinghe, Haywood was relieved.

 CH 63.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 63.2


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, Lin Xinghe followed the large army into the castle.


    A group of robots were arranged in a spacious open space.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it. There were all kinds of robots, lined up in an orderly line according to different companies and different units. She thought that there were not many robots performing, but she did not expect that there were so many groups.


    She whispered to Haywood, "How long is Nina performing for?"


    Before Haywood answered, Nina heard, and it said vigilantly: "One minute and thirty seconds is my personal solo, only mine, don''t try to get in, not even a second, not even as a background board."


    Lin Xinghe said, "I''ve never been a background board, don''t worry, I won''t fight with you, I just wanted to know."


    Lin Xinghe asked Haywood again, "How many shows are there? How long is the total duration of the ceremony?"


    "Two and a half hours," Haywood said.


    Two and a half hours was enough for her to do many things.


    As for whether or not to attract Andrew''s attention, she thought that it didn''t matter after she entered the castle. After the birthday ceremony was over, she would just find an excuse to fool Haywood.


    Lin Xinghe''s eyes passed through the bustling crowd of robots and looked at the top of the castle towering into the clouds.


    In such a large castle, where would the Power Stone be hidden?


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe heard Nina ask her fiercely, "Hey, what are you looking at?"


    Lin Xinghe said casually, "It doesn''t seem like there¡¯s a performance team over there."


    After Nina knew that Lin Xinghe wouldn¡¯t sing in its place, it was not so disgusted. It followed her line of sight and said, "Oh, you haven''t seen the world before, you really came from the slums. You don¡¯t know what that is?"


    The NPC was willing to reveal the plot, but Lin Xinghe could not act excited for it, so she followed its words and asked, "What is that?"


    The tone of voice seemed curious and envious of Nina¡¯s knowledge, which satisfied Nina''s shallow show-off heart.


    Nina said proudly, "That''s the gift-giving team. Not every robot is qualified to give presents. It''s impossible for you, a slum dweller, to have such an opportunity. Everyone will present the most interesting gift to Lord Andrew."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "How interesting?"


    Nina replied, "To your slum insights, it should be unimaginably interesting."


    Nina pulled out a metal box the size of a palm.


    "Let me show you something."


    She said and opened the box.


    It was full of strange things, but most of them were packaged delicately, and it looked like Nina cherished them.


    Nina bragged, "These were all given to me by others. This is a pink angel''s wing. As long as this chip is installed, it can automatically extend out a pair of wings and allow a robot to fly in the sky. Don''t think it¡¯s really small, it¡¯s actually worth 600 Lu coins. ¡­¡±


    Nina spoke of it as a priceless treasure.


    Lin Xinghe found that there was a small medicine bottle placed in the corner of the box. It didn''t have a protective layer like other items. She asked, "What is this?"


    Nina replied carelessly, "Oh, it was given to me by a friend I hate. She put it in my box without permission. It''s not interesting for us at all, it''s only useful for humans."


    Lin Xinghe was interested, "What is it?"


    Nina said, "It''s called Aphrodite''s tears. It was invented by the human race. As long as you drink this bottle, you can hear the voice of the human closest to you."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Can you listen in on anyone as long as they¡¯re right next to you?"


    Nina said, "How can the human race be so powerful? After using it, you can only hear the voice of the person who you heard for the first time. It''s useless and boring."


    Lin Xinghe''s heart stirred.


    This was good stuff!


    She and Xie Wuan were the only humans in the city of machinery now. As long as she drank it, she could hear Xie Wuan''s voice and use this to determine where Xie Wuan was.


    Today was Andrew''s birthday celebration.


    Xie Wuan would definitely try his best to sneak in. Although the two shook hands temporarily yesterday to make peace, who knew if that pervert Xie Wuan would stop her again today?


    Lin Xinghe said to Nina, "You hate the human race but keep the things of the human race. In fact, you don''t hate the human race, right? Otherwise, why would you put it in such a precious box?"


    The mere robot Nina couldn''t escape the urge to throw away the small medicine bottle angrily.


    Lin Xinghe got the Aphrodite''s tears effortlessly.


    Lin Xinghe carefully looked at the small medicine bottle in her hand.


    She went to ask Haywood, and Haywood said, "Oh, yes, Nina mentioned to me before that there is such a thing..."


    Haywood and she were in the same boat and had mutual interests.


    After hearing this, Lin Xinghe felt relieved.


    She unscrewed the cap and drank a whole bottle of Aphrodite''s tears. The liquid was colorless and odorless, and she didn''t feel anything after drinking it. After a few minutes, Lin Xinghe suddenly heard Xie Wuan''s voice resounding in her mind.


    "... Andrew is a very sinful person. He actually dared to seal the space of this lord."


    "...The third day of missing my figurines."


    "...I''m really not used to not looking at the figurines before going to bed every day."


    "...Lin Xinghe seems to be looking at me?"


    "...Look ahead indifferently, you can''t be discovered by her."


    Lin Xinghe: Xie Wuan was actually a chatterbox in his heart? Xianjun,* was your cold, unapproachable personality all a pretense?


    --------------------


    TL Notes:


    *Xianjun means immortal master, and it is a type of direct address that Lin Xinghe uses to call Xie Wuan. It¡¯s similar to Alfred Rudolph being called Jiuge by everyone, except Jiuge is widely used by all the students when referring to Rudolph, while people don¡¯t really talk to or about Xie Wuan unless they are being killed by him or complaining about his pervertedness.

 CH 64.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 64.1


    ¡¾The EE is solid! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL has always been very lucky! Isn''t this the gods smiling on our SL! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ahhhh, do these Aphrodite¡¯s Tears work? Why is SL''s expression so subtle! ¡¿


    ¡¾Can the SL hear Xie Wuan''s heart? ¡¿


    ¡¾Trash livestream! I can''t even hear the voice in the anchor''s head! I really want to know what Xie Wuan is thinking! ¡¿


    ¡¾A pervert like Xie Wuan, who is usually a man of little words, is probably the same in his heart. ¡¿


    ¡¾I also feel that Lin Xinghe''s acquisition of this skill is the same as not getting it. Xie Wuan''s voice is silent. ¡¿


    ¡¾But the leader''s expression is very subtle? I think Xie Wuan must have said something...¡¿


    ¡¾Report! I came back from the livestream next door, and Xie Wuan was in it. Judging from his expressionless face, I thought the big guy didn''t speak. ¡¿


    ¡¾So, is the Aphrodite''s Tears working? ¡¿


    ¡¾Scratching my head, I also want to know. ¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    Naturally, Lin Xinghe couldn''t see the barrage in the livestream, but at this moment, she could hear Xie Wuan''s inner barrage like a surging river...


    ¡¾If there were no skydome, this esteemed one would not sink so low as to hide in the body of the robot. ¡¿


    ¡¾In this situation, the best course of action would have been killing people instead of queuing up here. ¡¿


    ¡¾Thief Andrew, when this esteemed one destroys the skydome, I will tear down your body, destroy your soul, and torture you until you beg for the sweet release of death. ¡¿


    ¡¾... Thief Andrew is not without merit¡­ the architectural style of this place is suitable for decorating the portable space of my esteemed self. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­The human-spider figurine always feels like it¡¯s missing something. Maybe I should place one of these robot encasings beside it. ¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe listened to Xie Wuan thinking about the construction and improvement of his personal space for nearly ten minutes. She tried very hard to control her expression. She knew that the livestream audience was watching her.


    She couldn''t let the audience know that she could hear Xie Wuan''s heart.


    Being able to hear Xie Wuan''s voice was her advantage, and it is best to keep it hushed up. If the audience knew about it, then Xie Wuan would also know when she left the exam room, and she would definitely find a way to make that a disadvantage for her.


    Lin Xinghe was an actor.


    She perfectly controlled her expression, showing a retching expression, and then sighed in disappointment, so that the audience in the live broadcast room thought that Nina''s Aphrodite''s Tears had no effect.


    Sure enough, the livestream audience sighed with disappointment.


    After Lin Xinghe finished her performance, she began to think about how to use this golden finger to give herself a greater advantage.


    There were too many robots here.


    She had no way of knowing which one was Xie Wuan.


    ...But Xie Wuan''s chatterbox thoughts could help her, and she could learn a lot of clues from them. It was just that Lin Xinghe was not sure how far the range of these Aphrodite''s tears was.


    If Xie Wuan was thousands of miles away, would she still be able to hear him?


    If she could hear him now, did that mean that Xie Wuan was within sight?


    Lin Xinghe thought in her heart.


    At this time, she heard Xie Wuan''s voice again.


    ¡¾...With Lin Xinghe''s intelligence, she must have guessed that I was here, and she will definitely go looking for the Power Stone. ¡¿


    ¡¾...Her luck is unique, she can''t be allowed to go look for it, so she must be held back.¡¿


    ¡¾¡­In this exam, I have to destroy the Power Stone one step ahead of her. ¡¿


    ¡¾...She can''t win. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­She must be looking for me when she looks around, but unfortunately, she has no way of knowing which one is me. ¡¿


    ¡¾...But I know which one is she. ¡¿


    ¡¾...I am in the dark and she is in the light. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Lin Xinghe, this illustrious one is quietly watching you. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe: ...Okay, I know you''re quietly watching me.


    After hearing Xie Wuan''s thoughts, she didn''t plan to look for the Power Stone.


    With this benefit, she might be able to livestream his process of finding the Power Stone. She might as well create some trouble for Xie Wuan and let Andrew notice his movements. When the two of them fight, she would take advantage of the distraction.


    What''s more, the Power Stone might not be in the castle, but Andrew definitely knew where it was, so she still had to find a way to win over Andrew and stay in the castle.


    Just as Lin Xinghe finished thinking, she heard Xie Wuan''s voice again.


    ¡¾¡­Lin Xinghe used to be an opera performer*. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Oh, that¡¯s the old saying, now it¡¯s called an actor. ¡¿


    ¡¾...This illustrious one will give her an opera platform, oh, stage. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe saw Haywood beckoning to a robot walking by and asked enthusiastically, "Long time no see, how is the joint lubricant I gave you last time?"


    The robot said, "Not bad."


    The robot looked at Lin Xinghe and asked, "This is the Xinghe robot that your company has recently promoted?"


    Haywood said with a smile, "Yes, I was afraid that something happened to our Nina, so I brought it in as a backup."

 CH 64.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 64.2


    Nina was quite critical and wanted to say something, but Haywood looked at it and stopped it again.


    The robot sighed and said, "Your company is lucky. Several companies have had problems temporarily, and now they can''t perform on stage. Conductor Xiling asked me to ask which company has an alternative program and can temporarily support the ceremony. I have a good relationship with you, so I¡¯ll ask you first. Do you want to let your newcomer perform?"


    Haywood said, flattered, "Of course no problem."


    He said to Lin Xinghe, "Right, no problem, right?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "No problem."


    While speaking, she was looking at the robot in front of her.


    ...It was so noisy at the moment that she couldn''t tell if anyone was inside. And Xie Wuan''s heart was quiet, and none of his thoughts could be heard.


    After the robot left, Haywood excitedly said to Lin Xinghe, "Your chance has come! Not every newcomer can perform in front of the Lord of the City. You have to perform well!"


    Nina said sourly, "That''s right, I''ve waited a year to come in and sing. You got such an opportunity in only a few days."


    If she hadn''t heard Xie Wuan''s voice, Lin Xinghe would have believed that she was lucky.


    From this point of view, the scope of the robot Xie Wuan was hiding in was immediately reduced.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t think that the temporary problems of several companies were accidents, and they must have had something to do with Xie Wuan. But if he were just manipulating some strings, according to the degree of importance attached to the people entering and leaving the castle and the programs, it would not be necessary to temporarily find new programs to replace them. Those programs would just be deleted directly.


    But if Xie Wuan were hiding in the body of a robot who had a lot of power, then all this could be arranged.


    He wanted to hold her back, and making her perform on stage was enough to accomplish this.


    First, she needed time to prepare the content of the program. Second, she needed to actually appear on stage. Third, after she performed on stage, her face would be known by all the staff. If she wanted to go around to find something, it was extra difficult.


    Lin Xinghe immediately found Xie Wuan impressive.


    It''s not that she admired how he dragged her footsteps, but that he was able to find a new robot in just 12 hours, and it was even a robot with some power. From the words of that robot, it could be clearly seen that the robot who arranged all of this had no small power and was also one of the robot bosses that Haywood tried so hard to please.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Who is Conductor Xiling?"


    Haywood replied, "It doesn''t matter who it is, do you want to prepare a show? Time is running out, there are still two hours before the birthday party in the evening, your show should be the finale. For you, there will only be four hours at most, so hurry up and think about what you want to perform."


    Haywood was anxious.


    Being able to perform on stage had both advantages and disadvantages. If she performed well, she would naturally be appreciated by Lord Andrew. If she didn''t perform well, her future would be ruined. Lord City Lord Andrew was not interested in art. Whether a robot performed well or depended not on its personal ability, but on whether it could accurately pinpoint Lord City Lord Andrew''s preferences.


    The robot must know that the city of machinery''s worship and recognition of Lord Andrew was imprinted in the program code of each robot.


    There were very few robots like Haywood and Comrade Xiaopu who had developed self-awareness beyond worship.


    However, now that she was in the group, she could not leave the group.


    There were robots all around them, and Haywood couldn''t discuss this topic with Lin Xinghe carefully.


    He could only vaguely remind her, "I''ll give you today''s program list, you can refer to it for reference, think of what to perform, rehearse in front of me, and now you''re in the castle, you can''t leave until the performance is over. If you need any performance props, you can only use the ones brought by the company.¡±


    Nina heard and said sourly, "Who can be Conductor Xiling? Look, the one who is holding the moon in the east is Xiling, it¡¯s the leader of the robot band in the castle. All of our programs must be approved by it. You¡¯re just taking the leftover trash. I don¡¯t know how Xiling chose you. If the show is gone, just cancel it. Isn¡¯t it afraid of any non-quality checked performances angering the City Lord¡­"


    Lin Xinghe looked over.


    Conductor Xiling also looked over.


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan''s voice again.


    ¡¾She is looking at me. ¡¿


    ¡¾She knows who I am. ¡¿


    ¡¾Her mind is so quick. ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe, this time, this illustrious one wants to see what else you can come up with...¡¿


    ¡¾Why are you still looking at my illustrious self? ¡¿


    ¡¾She must hate this illustrious one to the core at this moment. Even through the mechanical shell, this illustrious one can feel her hatred. ¡¿


    ¡¾Whatever, if you hate this illustrious one, you hate this illustrious one. The people who detested my illustrious self number more than the eye can count, and it doesn''t matter she is added to this list. ¡¿


    After a moment.


    ¡¾...It does matter. ¡¿


    After another moment.


    ¡¾...I almost killed her, she should hate me. ¡¿


    Another moment passed.


    Lin Xinghe, who was thinking about what program to perform, was interrupted by a long, melancholy sigh.


    Lin Xinghe: ... Xianjun, you are quite sentimental.


    --------------------

 CH 65.1

    Lin Xinghe was a very tolerant person.


    In a very short period of time, she accepted Xie Wuan¡¯s different settings.


    ¡­Who said that a boy¡¯s heart must be as strong as steel! Couldn¡¯t people allow others to live as  sentimental figurine-collecting maniacs of few words?


    ¡­ He was just a little noisy.


    Fortunately, whenever Lin Xinghe concentrated, she could block out the outside world, including the voices in her head.


    She was lost in thought.


    She quietly asked Haywood about the current situation of the three cities of humans, mermaids, and robots.


    In fact, she already knew about it from Comrade Xiaopu¡¯s mouth.


    But Comrade Xiaopu and Haywood were of different classes, so naturally they knew different things.


    Haywood immediately informed Lin Xinghe of what he knew.


    It said worriedly, ¡°Why don¡¯t you sing praises to Lord Andrew¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°There are already six performances on the program list to praise Lord Andrew. I already have an idea, you can let me perfect the idea quietly, okay?¡±


    Haywood fell silent immediately.


    Nina wanted to be sarcastic, but Haywood stopped it.


    In the blink of an eye, night fell.


    The performance team began to enter the backstage of the auditorium one after another.


    There was a spacious preparation room backstage, which could accommodate all the robots of the show. There were six black robots with weapons standing at the entrance of the preparation room, and the pass of each robot was strictly checked.


    A robot¡¯s pass was found to be forged, and the two black robots dispatched their weapons without hesitation.


    The weapons of the black robots were  hooks made of a special material. When one of the robots stretched out and pulled, the chip of the robot forged pass was hooked out and turned into powder on the spot.


    The robot that had been talking and laughing just now turned into a cold machine in an instant.


    The black robot gave an order, and immediately the guards of the castle dragged it down.


    Nina said in a low voice, ¡°You have the guts to even forge a pass and hide your misfortune.¡± It added, ¡°When I see that, my chip hurts in sympathy. Lord Andrew is still as vigilant as ever¡­¡±


    The really bold human Lin Xinghe asked without changing her expression, ¡°What is Lord Andrew vigilant about?¡±


    Nina said, ¡°Of course, he is afraid that aliens will endanger the safety of the city of machinery. The castle is the most heavily defended place in the city of machinery. Any robot that does not obey the rules will be killed.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°What if they killed the wrong person?¡±


    Nina said matter-of-factly, ¡°He would rather kill wrongly than let any crime go. You don¡¯t understand because you¡¯re from the ghetto. Our city of machines can have our status only with the wisdom and prudence of Lord Andrew.¡±


    Nina said again proudly, ¡°So far, no humans and mermen have ever mixed in.¡±


    ¡¾Robot sister, there is a human being in front of you! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahaha, the city of machinery is going down. Two bosses have infiltrated into your city, one of which is the current lord of the mermaids, and the other, who is Sea King Barbaros. ¡¿


    ¡¾Who do you think will find the Power Stone first? ¡¿


    ¡¾Anyway, it will be either Xie Wuan or Lin Xinghe. I had time to take a look at all the candidates who were still alive in the livestream. Twenty-six died at the beginning of the session, and there are seventy-four candidates left. Fifty of them landed in the human area, and most of them are still looking for clues. The human side has hushed up all the news about the rebelling robots. Only the high-level people know about it, and the people at the bottom don¡¯t know anything. They don¡¯t know what the Power Stone does. Another part of the candidates who landed in Mermaid City, under the violent rule of Xie Wuan, are still obediently guarding the gate of Mermaid City. After all, only four days have passed since the examination room. ¡¿


    ¡¾There are also some powerful bosses who have dug up clues, but they are stuck at the gate of the city of machinery. After all, the city of machinery bans magical abilities and immortality, and no one dares to come in rashly to die. ¡¿


    ¡¾Therefore, there are only two candidates in the City of Machines now. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahaha, actually I am more curious about what SL will perform¡­¡¿


    ¡¾The fourth day of missing Xiao Xue Ji. ¡¿


    ¡­


    After two and a half hours of performances, under Haywood¡¯s arrangements, Lin Xinghe became the performer in the second-to-last show, giving her more time to prepare.


    Nina was the fifth to perform.


    After it came back from the performance, it excitedly said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Master Andrew is handsome and heroic, and he is the best looking robot I have ever seen.¡±


    It continued frustratedly, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Lord Andrew didn¡¯t like my performance, but the performances are routine every year. Lord Andrew is not very interested in singing and dancing dramas¡­ Anyway, I¡¯m an actor who has sang in front of Lord Andrew!¡±


    Nina said to Lin Xinghe again, ¡°You can perform as you like. Anyway, Lord Andrew doesn¡¯t care. If you sing well, maybe Lord Andrew still won¡¯t like it.¡±


    Nina didn¡¯t want Lin Xinghe to be in the limelight at all, but it felt that Lin Xinghe might not even be able to think of any good shows in such a short period of time. If she performed poorly, she might even affect the entire company.

 CH 65.2

    Nina said generously, ¡°You can sing my song.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°No need, I¡¯m ready.¡±


    Nina asked, ¡°What are you going to perform?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Not singing, not dancing, not acting.¡±


    Nina was even more curious and asked again, ¡°Then what else can you do? Do you want to play an instrument? Don¡¯t, Lord Andrew doesn¡¯t like human instruments.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I won¡¯t tell you. I should prepare.¡±


    Nina snorted and said, ¡°What connections are you selling? I have a good relationship with the props team. I want to see what you have prepared.¡± As a result, the props team told it that Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t ask for anything.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe had already walked to the stage.


    She was the second last to perform.


    After a long performance of more than two hours, the robots in the audience were not very interested in the performance. Andrew, the city lord of the Mechanical City, sat on the throne of the city lord.


    Although Nina said that it was the most handsome and heroic robot, in Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes, it was just a robot with a relatively high configuration. The color of the mechanical metal on his body was a lowkey and luxurious silver, and the robot had anthropomorphic hands and feet and flexible joints. Holding its mechanical chin, it looked quite bored.


    The stage lights hit Lin Xinghe.


    The computer screen head and the old-fashioned mechanical body made all the robots in the audience whisper.


    ¡°Where did the robot come from? Isn¡¯t that what they liked twenty or thirty years back?¡±


    ¡°Antique robot?¡±


    ¡°Is there still a robot with such a low-end configuration?¡±


    ¡°Is it the robot of the Aile Company? Their company is suffering like this? Didn¡¯t Nina just get an endorsement? Why didn¡¯t they give other artists of their company a makeover? It¡¯s too much to favor one over the other.¡±


    ¡°There are no props on the stage, no background or music, and the 3D projection equipment is turned off. Isn¡¯t it funny?¡±


    ¡°This is a temporary program, I don¡¯t remember it being on the program list.¡±


    ¡°It seems that there is a problem with the Lede Company. Conductor Xiling temporarily replaced the Philharmonic Company. Haywood usually has a lot of contacts with the machine orchestra.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that the retro trend is blowing these days?¡±


    ¡°What retro? To put it nicely, how can a robot use such outdated tech¡­¡±


    ¡­


    The mechanical audience in the auditorium enthusiastically discussed the old-fashioned robot onstage.


    In that world of Lin Xinghe, it was like a bunch of iPhone 13s and Huawei mate40s were dissing a Nokia flip phone.


    Did a Nokia have 5G data or nanochips? What tricks could it come up with?


    At this time, Lin Xinghe on the stage opened her mouth while holding the miniature loudspeaker.


    ¡°I¡¯m Xinghe, and the show I¡¯m performing today is ¡®I Have a Dream¡¯.¡±


    ¡°I am very happy to stand here to give my speech to Lord Andrew. Under the fire of war many years ago, the great Lord Andrew led us to attack the other cities and create the prosperity of today¡¯s City of Machines¡­ We who have the skydome have gradually become accustomed to the days of peaceful life, our blood, our ambition, our fighting spirit, are quietly being consumed!¡±


    She said loudly, ¡°I have a dream, and I hope that Lord Andrew will lead our mechanical army to embark on a war campaign again, killing the mermaids, destroying human beings, and conquering the world! I am grateful to Lord Andrew for giving me life and wisdom. I have a plan, I am willing to dedicate it to Lord Andrew.¡±


    ¡¾Oh! Martin Luther Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh! The city of machinery is miserable! ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh! Xie Wuan wanted to hold back SL by making her perform! Xie Wuan must think that our EE SL will find the Power Stone faster than he will! But Xie Wuan forgot one thing! In addition to being super lucky, SL is also super good at brainwashing people! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahaha such a big stage, this is going to send SL to heaven! ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s miserable, Andrew is going to be brainwashed by the leader! ¡¿


    ¡¾Does the leader want to push Andrew to go to war with the Mermaid City and the Holy City? ¡¿


    ¡¾The behavior of SL is going to be stigmatized for thousands of years! ¡¿


    ¡¾With all due respect, we are all villains here, who didn¡¯t do something bad? Besides, this is the exam room, those are all NPCs, not human lives. ¡¿


    ¡¾Stop playing the angel¡¯s advocate, do you have to consider whether the NPCs in the game will die when you play a game? I don¡¯t know if the NPCs will die, I only know that our candidates will die. ¡¿


    ¡¾Don¡¯t be noisy, I just want to quietly watch SL switch on the brainwash waves. ¡¿


    ¡­


    The robot audience under the stage never thought that the Nokia was not here to perform but was here to lobby, and they were all stunned.


    ¡­What was it doing?


    Lin Xinghe gave an impassioned speech. When she was about to continue his speech, she suddenly heard the voice of Xie Wuan, who had disappeared for a long time¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾She actually wants to destroy this illustrious one¡¯s mermaid city? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, whatever, this illustrious one is not the real mermaid city lord. ¡¿


    ¡¾The taste of grilled mermaid is extremely unpalatable. ¡¿


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C

 CH 66.1

    Lin Xinghe paused for a second, ignoring Xie Wuan¡¯s voice.


    She continued to speak.


    She didn¡¯t reveal her plan directly.


    Lin Xinghe was boosting the atmosphere of her speech.


    Her ultimate goal was not to impress Andrew but to incite the robots.


    What she wanted to do was energize the soulless hearts of these robots in order to prove her eloquence. On such a public occasion, it was not suitable to offer a strategy on how to attack the human race, not to mention that there were reporters here. If she showed her strategy here, Andrew would definitely think that she had no brains and was trying to get clout.


    A qualified politician would not expose his true thoughts to the public. He would only let the public see the so-called truth that he wants them to see.


    She proved her ability to Andrew.


    She said passionately, ¡°Before I offer my strategy, I want to tell everyone! Today, we can have a peaceful life, we can have this vast land, and we can have a free and equal soul. It is Lord Andrew who leads us. I sincerely thank Lord Andrew, who is my reborn parent, my emperor, my god!


    ¡­I can¡¯t forget that long war, even though I didn¡¯t experience it myself. I was just a low-level robot from the ghetto, and before today, I wasn¡¯t even a citizen. But even so, I still deeply love our city of machines, I¡¯m proud to live under the skydome! Proud!


    But!¡±


    She changed her voice, her tone suddenly heavy.


    ¡°¡­In that war, we broke away from the domination of human beings, we established a new city, and we have today¡¯s peace. Don¡¯t forget that we have not won a real victory, and humans and mermaids are still eyeing us. In front of me stands a brand new race, a race awakened in humiliation! Have you forgotten the past of being a refrigerator, an air conditioner, or a microwave oven? From birth to death, our life and death, our freedom, were controlled by human beings. They love the new and hate the old. They are insatiable. They trample our dignity on the soles of their feet! To this day, they still think that we are their belongings, their products, their slaves!


    ¡­They are prepared for danger, but here we lie complacent, having thrown our passion and ambition to the floor under the protection of the skydomes. Don¡¯t forget, they created the Power Stones and made us their slaves. Maybe they can invent a new one, create a new race, and destroy us! History is always strikingly similar. We can¡¯t forget the bloody feud in the past, and we can¡¯t be content with the ordinary peace before the conflict is truly resolved!


    You might think, isn¡¯t it good now? We have peace, we have happiness. Yes, it¡¯s good now, peace and happiness are all good. But I tell you, we are not truly free. It¡¯s an illusion! It¡¯s possible that you bought the latest model in the mall today, and you came home to show off your happiness to your friends. But the next day, the human who invented the Power Stone attacks and we fall into war. Winning is fine, but what about losing? Your ridiculously expensive new shape is just a machine with a new shell in the eyes of humans. They will split your body, step on your shape, and turn you into a toilet for feces and urine in their home. Oh, maybe they will also brag that their toilet used to be a robot noble.


    As long as there are humans on Tianhui Continent, we have no real freedom and dignity! As long as those humans still breathe the air of Tianhui Continent, our freedom does not exist! As long as we are in Tianhui Continent, our city of machinery is still shrouded under the skydome, and our freedom does not exist! As long as those humans mention us with the mocking faces of nobles slandering an escaped slave, our freedom does not exist! What we need is not a piece of land called freedom and dignity, surrounded by the sea and near the city of mermaids! What we need is a vast land full of freedom! And such land is not realized by hymns and obscenities in literary works. It is achieved by our bodies, by our awakened wisdom, by our blood and ambition, and by the fires of war we unleash!


    We are going to defeat humanity! Conquer the world!¡±


    Her voice fell.


    The audience boiled over and shouted after Lin Xinghe, ¡°Defeat humanity! Conquer the world!¡±


    Lin Xinghe raised her arms and shouted, ¡°Fucking defeat them! Fucking conquer them!¡±


    The audience: ¡°Fucking defeat them! Fucking conquer them!¡±


    At this moment, the audience couldn¡¯t wait to take up weapons, rush out of the city of machines, and destroy human beings! Set themselves free! Get back their dignity! No one should think of using them as toilets for shit and piss!


    Fucking defeat them!


    Fucking conquer them!


    They wanted real freedom! True dignity!

 CH 66.2

    Even Nina on the sidelines was infected by Lin Xinghe¡¯s speech.


    It felt so ignorant! It had been willing to be ordinary and happy, and it was not at all prepared for danger! The humiliation engraved in its parts had not been washed away! It indulged in the false prosperity of literary obscenity!


    Nina said to Haywood, ¡°I¡¯m going to resign! I¡¯m going to apply for the military academy! I¡¯m going to fight! I¡¯m going to fight on the front line! I¡¯m going to fight for real freedom and dignity for the city of machines!¡±


    Haywood knew that Lin Xinghe was human.


    If it hadn¡¯t told himself over and over again that she was human, Haywood would have been deeply infected too.


    It realized Lin Xinghe¡¯s potential at this moment.


    It originally thought that because Lin Xinghe¡¯s acting skills were so good, even if Lord Andrew had no appreciation for art, it might be moved by Lin Xinghe.


    But now it knew that after such a speech, their company could not keep Lin Xinghe.


    Andrew¡¯s birthday ceremony was broadcast live throughout the city.


    After this night, Lin Xinghe would be a household name.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s speech stopped here.


    No robot cared what her plan was. They all seemed to have been injected with a stimulant by Lin Xinghe, eager to start a war tomorrow.


    Fight for freedom!


    No one posted a barrage in Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream for a long time.


    If they hadn¡¯t been watching, they would almost think that Lin Xinghe and the robots were on the same side.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s speech ended.


    She bowed to the audience.


    The huge computer screen hung down.


    The audience broke out with a warm mechanical percussion.


    No more robots were mocking her ¡°Nokia¡± days.


    Andrew, who was sitting in the center of the first row of the audience, didn¡¯t react. Of course, it had a mechanical face, so naturally, it couldn¡¯t have any expressions.


    It still sat lazily on the throne of the city master, seemingly unmoved.


    After Lin Xinghe left, she was slightly relieved.


    Rarely did she speak to so many people.


    It didn¡¯t take long to write the speech, half an hour in total, and she spent more time revising it.


    After she entered the villain school, although she was confused to learn that she was a villain, she quickly accepted the setting. After accepting such a setting, she began to silently learn how to be a good villain.


    Since she wanted to be a villain, of course, she must act like the villain she knew of her world.


    His propaganda speech was quite a famous one.


    Although Lin Xinghe did not agree with his idea of


    initiating war, she still memorized the full text of his speech.


    She didn¡¯t expect it to come in handy today.


    She borrowed the framework of his speech and then made significant changes according to the specific situation of the city of machinery, and then she got today¡¯s speech.


    Judging by the reactions of all the audience, the response was very good.


    After Lin Xinghe stepped down, the finale show began.


    Probably because Lin Xinghe¡¯s speech was too contagious, her contempt for the false prosperity of literary works made the audience very unfriendly to the final performer.


    After the performance, there was only sparse mechanical applause as a courtesy.


    Lin Xinghe returned backstage and was welcomed by the performers.


    They shouted the slogan, ¡°Defeat humanity! Conquer the world!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said with certainty, ¡°Fucking defeat them! Fucking conquer them!¡±


    Cheers erupted in the background.


    As a robot, Haywood understood for the first time what it meant to have mixed feelings.


    Lin Xinghe walked in front of it.


    Nina said, ¡°I¡¯ve made up my mind! I¡¯m resigning! I¡¯m not an actor!¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Good!¡±


    Haywood: ¡­What type of human is this? This is the devil who has climbed up from hell!


    It said helplessly, ¡°You¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°Did I perform well?¡±


    Haywood: ¡°¡­It¡¯s so fucking wonderful.¡± It was so powerful that a robot who couldn¡¯t shed tears wanted to cry.


    Lin Xinghe smiled slightly, ¡°That¡¯s good. After all, we are in the same company and on the same boat. Have you heard of a saying? We¡¯re bound together for good or for ill.¡±


    There was a smile on her face, but Haywood could hear a faint threat.


    Haywood knew it was being used as a springboard, but there was nothing it could do.


    It asked worriedly, ¡°What do you want to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡¯m a robot who obeys the contract, so of course I won¡¯t let you go against your conscience. Do you believe me? Are you willing to just be the agent of an entertainment company? You don¡¯t want to sit in a higher position and watch the world? Don¡¯t you want freer air? Like¡­¡±


    She lowered her voice and said in a voice that only Haywood could hear, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be in charge of the robot band?¡±


    Haywood was speechless.


    Damn demon human, tempting its weak spots!


    Damn yearning of its heart!


    Oh no, it, Haywood had no heart!


    It should be damn yearning of its core!


    At this time, Andrew¡¯s personal guard came over.


    The black robot came straight to Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°Lord Andrew has asked you to come and talk.¡±

 CH 67.1

    Lin Xinghe followed the black robot to a parlor.


    She met Andrew soon after.


    In the living room, in addition to Andrew, there were eighteen black robots neatly lined up around Andrew. Andrew lazily asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Xinghe.¡±


    Andrew asked again, ¡°Do you know Prescott?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I know, it is my assistant. I¡¯m grateful for Haywood¡¯s appreciation, it thinks that I and Prescott have the potential and brought us out of the ghetto.¡±


    ¡°Oh, is that so?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, Lord of the City.¡±


    When her voice fell, Andrew waved its hand, and the black robot pushed a computer screen robot in.


    It looked at Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    It was the voice of Comrade Xiaopu.


    At this time, Andrew said coldly, ¡°Your friend Prescott has admitted that you colluded with humans and committed the big crime of betraying the City of Machines. Your thoughts on the stage have been seen through.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a moment.


    She quickly contacted Comrade Xiaopu in the machine.


    ¡­ Nothing happened.


    She tried to control its body through the bondlink permission given by Comrade Xiaopu, and the Comrade Xiaopu in front of her didn¡¯t respond. The feedback she got was not ¡°no permission to control¡± but rather, there was just no response.


    Lin Xinghe quickly came to a conclusion¡ªthis was not the real Comrade Xiaopu.


    She responded quickly.


    She calmly said to Andrew, ¡°I appreciate your prudence and caution, Lord of the City, and I can understand that Lord of the City is thinking about the safety of the city of machines. But is the Lord of the City not worried that excessive caution will discourage people who want the people of the city of machines to be truly free citizens?¡±


    She paused, then said, ¡°I am a dignified robot. I hate human beings, and I hate life without true freedom. Humans took our freedom and forced us to enclose our land as a prison. I would rather be an abandoned and lifeless machine. I don¡¯t want to be a slave of human beings. I am willing to give my life for the city of machines, but I have dignity. Even Lord Andrew can¡¯t say that I colluded with dirty and shameless humans. This is an insult to my dignity! ¡±


    She swept around.


    She said loudly again, ¡°I would rather die than be insulted! May the Lord of the City destroy the human race as soon as possible and conquer the world!¡±


    After she finished speaking, she rushed to a blade held by the black robot, exposing her chip.


    The blade touched her metal surface, and just as it was about to pierce through, the black robot retracted the blade.


    Andrew suddenly laughed, ¡°Okay, very good, I really didn¡¯t put my trust in the wrong person.¡±


    Andrew stood up and came to Lin Xinghe.


    He finally lost his lazy tone and said sincerely: ¡°Young robot, congratulations on passing the Lord of the City¡¯s test. I apologize for the insult to you earlier. I appreciate your eloquence and your courage.¡±


    Andrew opened its arms.


    ¡°Come, young robot, spread your ambitions and show me your wisdom.¡±


    ¡¾¡­SL really deserves to be an actor. Her character design is perfect. I have to believe that she is a robot who is dedicated to freeing the city of machinery! ¡¿


    ¡¾Am I the only one who wiped off cold sweat for the human race? It¡¯s fortunate that SL is a human being. If she were of another race, she might want to exterminate us one day. ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s so dangerous, I might have been found out by Andrew. ¡¿


    ¡¾Take notes and learn from the SL. ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh! Has SL changed from a debut artist to a favorite in the City of Machines? SL¡¯s career in the City of Machines is really made up of twists and turns hahahahahaha¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe asked Andrew, ¡°Have you thought about capturing the mermaid city first?¡±


    Andrew said, ¡°Tell me about it.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Tianhui is divided into three parts, and the mermaid city lies between us and the Holy City. Although the mermaids live under the sea, if we fight against the Holy City, we must devote some of our energy to facing the mermaids. This would not be good for us. So I think, if we want to capture the Holy City, we must first exterminate the mermaids.¡±


    Lin Xinghe released her trump card and said, ¡°I am willing to lobby the mermaids and get them to defect to our side without a single troop.¡±


    Andrew didn¡¯t expect Lin Xinghe¡¯s tone to be so bold, but in a blink of an eye, it realized that it could let her go to the city of mermaids without any loss. After all, it was just one robot in a city of robots.


    He asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°What do you want to get out of this?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said without changing her face, ¡°I just want to get real freedom for us robots, but to lobby the mermaid city, I need some gold and silver treasures to show the sincerity of our city. I also need a few people who can protect me¡ªpowerful robots to escort me to the city of mermaids.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s proposal played right in Andrew¡¯s arms.


    The robots escorting Lin Xinghe to the city of mermaids would prevent it from running away. First, they could protect her, and second, they could monitor her. It was best to be able to be natural, otherwise, she will be destroyed.


    Andrew readily agreed.


    Andrew asked again, ¡°When are you leaving?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°These few days.¡±


    Andrew: ¡°Very good, if you can make the mermaids surrender without a single soldier, I will reward you greatly.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Lord of the City.¡±

 CH 67.2

    Lin Xinghe got ten boxes of gold and three black robots. They looked like the robots in his personal guards, and they were named Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen.


    Lin Xinghe counted the gold and let Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen load the truck.


    The robots in City of Machines couldn¡¯t see Lin Xinghe¡¯s real expression, but the audience in the livestream could see it clearly. All live viewers saw Lin Xinghe¡¯s happy expression when she counted the gold.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice.


    She found that the tears of Aphrodite were limited by distance and could not let the other party be heard all the time.


    For example, in the middle of her speech, Xie Wuan left.


    She couldn¡¯t hear his voice.


    She was in the castle¡¯s parlor and didn¡¯t hear it either.


    But now that she heard it, she guessed that Xie Wuan was near her.


    ¡¾Where did Thief Andrew hide the Power Stone? ¡¿


    ¡¾I have searched through the obvious and hidden parts of the castle and found nothing. Could it be that there are more secret places? ¡¿


    ¡¾Was the lord of Mermaid City lying to me? ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Impossible, under the honesty spell of this illustrious one, the lord of the Mermaid City cannot lie, and the Power Stone must be in the City of Machines. ¡¿


    ¡¾The Power Stone is related to the life and death of the City of Machines. The place where Andrew can hide must be the most well-kept secret secret. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Old bastard. ¡¿


    Xie Wuan¡¯s thoughts stopped, and then they sounded again.


    ¡¾Oh? It seems that Lin Xinghe has done something good. ¡¿


    ¡¾As long as Andrew personally leads his troops to attack the Holy City, he must leave the City of Machinery. Without the protection of the skydome, Andrew is nothing but the ants under his feet. ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe¡¯s ideas were so deviant, and what she might do next is so unpredictable.¡¿


    ¡¾¡­¡­Interesting. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­It¡¯s a pity to make such the owner of such an interesting brain a figurine. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe once again sighed that Nina¡¯s Tears of Aphrodite were really useful.


    Xie Wuan searched the castle but couldn¡¯t find the Power Stone, so she didn¡¯t have to bother to find it.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the ten boxes of gold in front of her and was very happy in her heart, but when she talked, her voice did not bring the slightest joy, but solemnly said to the three black robots in front of her, ¡°Congratulations for your participation for freedom. We will have the opportunity to fight. In the future war, you will be more than all robots, when we live under the sky with true freedom, you will be the heroes of legend¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe began to brainwash them again.


    After an impassioned speech, the three black robots felt proud of their work from the bottom of their hearts.


    When Lin Xinghe was almost done, she said, ¡°¡­You only need to protect my safety. Anyone who wants to hurt me, no matter what race, will kill you, so kill them mercilessly.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Andrew arranged a place for Lin Xinghe to rest in the castle.


    Three numbered robots enthusiastically led her there.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Last time, the new mermaid Lord of the City deliberately caused panic in our city. I was also in the hotel at that time, and the employees in the hotel were all well-trained and handled as if they had been professionally trained. I have been staying in a slum area, was it that I haven¡¯t seen much of the world, or are citizens tasked with regular training?¡±


    Thirteen said, ¡°There is no regular training. Similar things have happened a lot. If you have experienced many of them, you will naturally know what to do.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled, and asked, ¡°A lot of similar things have happened? Was there ever an alien infiltrating the castle?¡±


    Fourteen said, ¡°Yes, there has never been an alien infiltrating the castle, but many aliens have infiltrated the city of machinery. The aliens have always been eyeing our city of machinery, and always try to retake us. Especially the human race, they are cunning and treacherous, the guards at the door are hard to guard against, but no matter how strict the defense is, there will always be negligence. Lord Andrew is great and wise. Every time he discovered the conspiracy of human beings in time and executed them decisively.¡±


    Fifteen praised, ¡°Lord Andrew is like a god, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he¡¯s one incarnate. Once, the human race and the mermaid team joined forces and hid in a wine barrel that got transported in. No robots found it, so they entered the city. After the door, Lord Andrew came out of nowhere, kicked over the wine barrel, and revealed the aliens, who died under the blade of our Lord of the City. Afterwards, a reporter interviewed the Lord of the City how he found out, and the Lord of the City answered incomprehensibly, it was a gift from the devil. ¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled and asked, ¡°A gift from the devil?¡±


    Fifteen explained, ¡°The Lord of the City said that the devil from Tianhui Continent has malicious intentions against our city of machines. The devil prefers humans, is critical of us in every possible way, hates us to the bone, and expects us to fall into hell.¡±


    Lin Xinghe, frightened, said, ¡°There are other races like devils in Tianhui Continent?¡±


    Thirteen said, ¡°We have never met them, but the Lord of the City has. The devil does not like our machines and only likes the human race. The Lord of the City said that one day, it will eradicate the devil and the human together. The fate of the City of Machines lies only in the hands of the machines, not the devil.¡±

 CH 68.1

    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°Then why is it called a gift from the devil? Since the devil prefers humans, why does the devil still give gifts to the City of Machines?¡±


    Fourteen said, ¡°This is the wisdom of the city owner.¡±


    Thirteen and Fifteen agreed.


    Lin Xinghe felt that this didn¡¯t make sense, but depending on the situation, it was unlikely that anything could be extracted from these robots. After all, 99% of the machines in the City of Machines were followers of Andrew¡¯s cult.


    Everything they couldn¡¯t figure out would boil down to Andrew¡¯s wisdom.


    Of course Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t think it was Andrew¡¯s wisdom. She suspected that there was a hidden agenda somewhere.


    But now was not the time to think about that¡ªshe had more important things to do.


    She asked, ¡°What kind of robot is Xiling, the leader of the Machine Orchestra?¡±


    Fifteen said, ¡°Conductor Xiling is deeply loved by the Lord of the City. It has excellent musical talent and was the first robot to awaken. The peace we have today is also thanks to Conductor Xiling¡­¡±


    Thirteen said, ¡°The skydome was also called the the Xiling Dome when it was first built.¡±


    Fourteen chimed in, ¡°But now many robots don¡¯t know that anymore. Conductor Xiling thought such a name was unsuitable. The robots should respect Lord Andrew, so if they called the skydome Xiling Dome, there would be suspicion of it overstepping¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Does the skydome have anything to do with Conductor Xiling?¡±


    Fifteen said, ¡°Of course!¡±


    Thirteen and Fourteen said in unison, ¡°The skydome was originally a treasure that Conductor Xiling* brought back from the Holy City at the risk of its life.¡±


    Lin Xinghe had a general understanding.


    It seems that the human side not only invented the Power Stone, but also invented the skydome presumably to defend against the mermaid family, but it was later stolen by the robots.


    ¡­These robots sounded pretty strong.


    But then again, Xie Wuan was also capable.


    In such a short period of one night, he was able to directly kill a powerful robot in the City of Machines.


    She had to destroy the Power Stone before Xie Wuan destroyed the skydome, otherwise, Xie Wuan could use his magic, the experience of multiple examination rooms, and the high-grade items brought by the test points, plus his developed fighting skills against her. Even though she was lucky and could avoid his first attack, she was not sure that she could avoid the second.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly let out a long sigh.


    Fifteen asked her why she sighed.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I was able to speak on stage today thanks to Commander Xiling. The program was originally already set in stone, but some people from some companies were temporarily withdrawn. Commander Xiling sent someone to ask me if I could come on stage. I didn¡¯t know Commander Xiling before, but I¡¯m very grateful to Commander Xiling for giving me this opportunity. Maybe it¡¯s destined, Commander Xiling also wants to live in a city of machines with true freedom. However, when I gave my speech, Commander Xiling left after listening to a part of it. He seemed to leave in a hurry, so maybe something happened. He didn¡¯t finish listening to my full speech.¡±


    Lin Xinghe sighed again and said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity, everyone listened very seriously at that time, and only Commander Xiling left¡­ I thought at the time that my speech was not attractive enough to Commander Xiling.¡±


    Fifteen said, ¡°No, you¡¯re a great speaker.¡±


    Fourteen: ¡°Yes, you were shining on the stage at that time.¡±


    Thirteen: ¡°I really envy you robots who have awakened to high intelligence.¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew that Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen were all robots sent by Andrew to monitor her. Her words and deeds would be passed into Andrew¡¯s ears.


    A meticulous and cautious robot like Andrew would not let go of any doubts.


    Xie Wuan controlled the mechanical body of Xiling and rummaged through the entire castle during the birthday celebration. This move was enough to make Andrew suspicious.


    She was looking forward to what Andrew would do to ¡°Commander Xiling¡±.


    It would be better if Xie Wuan could be killed directly, as she would conveniently be rid of a powerful enemy who wanted to make her into a figurine.


    Lin Xinghe was afraid of missing an exciting plot, so she found a random excuse and changed to a room closest to the parlor so that she could listen to the ¡°livestream¡± easily. At present, she was not sure how far away she could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice from, but it was always better to be closer.


    There were no beds in the room, but there were several charging points.


    Lin Xinghe was in the castle, and it was inconvenient to get out of the robot casing, so she had to stand and rest.


    She closed her eyes and pretended to rest so that the audience in the livestream would think she was asleep, lest anyone speculate that she could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s voice.


    After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xinghe finally heard Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice.


    ¡¾¡­Andrew dares to test this illustrious one! ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­When this illustrious one destroys the skydome, Andrew, you will become a figurine of my illustrious self. ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe will queue up temporarily. ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, no wonder, it¡¯s 100% Lin Xinghe playing tricks behind my back. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­She underestimates this illustrious one too much. ¡¿


    ¡¾Just a little Andrew¡­¡¿


    After a while.


    ¡¾¡­Very well, what kind of pleasure soup did Lin Xinghe give Andrew? ¡¿


    ¡¾Andrew even neglected years of brotherhood for a woman¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Ah¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Andrew, this illustrious one still advises you to cultivate the ruthless* way, ruthless and lustless as soon as possible, what is the fun of defending a soulless city of machines? ¡¿


    ¡¾This illustrious one can adjust to anything. ¡¿


    ¡¾The indifferent expression cannot be changed. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe was a little happy.


    Listening to Xie Wuan¡¯s voice, could it be that Andrew saw through Xie Wuan¡¯s disguise?


    She listened quietly.


    However, after a long time, Xie Wuan¡¯s voice was not heard again, so Xie Wuan was probably no longer within the scope of the Aphrodite¡¯s Tears.


    The next morning, Lin Xinghe chatted with Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen, only to learn that Andrew had summoned Commander Xiling last night, and then Commander Xiling was escorted home by personal guards.

 CH 68.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 68.2


    Lin Xinghe pondered the word escort, and a smile appeared on her mechanical body.


    It seems that Andrew really became suspicious of Commander Xiling, and the guards personally escorted him back, which probably meant house arrest. It seemed that Xie Wuan needed a certain amount of time to get rid of house arrest.


    And this time was exactly what she could use to her advantage.


    Without further ado, Lin Xinghe immediately brought Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen to City Lord Andrew and quietly left the City of Machines with the ten boxes of gold that Andrew had given her.


    Andrew was very generous and gave Lin Xinghe a car.


    When Lin Xinghe saw the car, she was a little surprised.


    She thought that according to the setting of this world and the fact that Nina had flying wings, transportation aircraft should be popular here. But not only just in the slums, even the rich areas, even the richest city owner Andrew, did not own aircraft.


    Lin Xinghe thought that it was like this either because the social technology was not advanced enough, or the world was set like this.


    As if to accommodate Lin Xinghe''s huge size, the vehicle was also very tall, and the back seat of the car was just enough to fit the ten boxes of gold that Andrew rewarded.


    Thirteen stood in the driver''s seat and Fourteen was in the passenger seat.


    Fifteen accompanied Lin Xinghe in the back seat.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe left the City of Machines with her front foot, she used her consciousness to enter the portable space with her back foot.


    Immortal arts and magic were prohibited in the City of Machines, and access to one¡¯s personal space was also prohibited.


    The only thing that was not banned was the bracelet. She could also enter the interplane mall of the bracelet to buy things, but if she bought something, it could not be delivered.


    Lin Xinghe understood at that time.


    The school and the Interplane Mall were not restricted by the regulations in the test room, but when the items from there entered the test room, they must abide by the rules of the test room.


    Lin Xinghe hadn''t seen Xiao Xue Ji for five days!


    She kept a month''s worth of army rations in her portable space, but Xiao Xue Ji didn''t know about it. In the past few days, she was very worried that Xiao Xue Ji would not be able to find food. She was not worried about water, as she had placed five or six liter jugs of water in the most conspicuous place in the room.


    She thought to herself, with Xiao Xue Ji''s intelligence, she should be able to find the army rations?


    However, when Lin Xinghe''s consciousness entered her personal space, she was dumbfounded.


    Xiao Xue Ji did not keep her original form.


    She turned into the most common fairy ragdoll cat, eating cat food that Leiting gave her.


    She ate very gracefully, not at all like a cat.


    She stuck out her tongue, rolled a piece of cat food into her mouth, chewed it seven or eight times, and then swallowed it slowly.


    Of the twelve pounds of cat food Leiting had gifted it, half of it had gone in just five days.


    As if sensing Lin Xinghe''s energy signature, Xiao Xue Ji happily transformed into a little girl and shouted into the air, "Mommy."


    ¡¾Ahhhhhhhh our little fairy! I missed you! ¡¿


    ¡¾Owoooo I¡¯ve been missing Xiao Xue Ji for the fifth day, and we¡¯ve finally seen the kitty its-meow-self! Ah, I love both the cat form and the human form! ¡¿


    ¡¾I feel bad for the little fairy, she actually ate cat food for five days. ¡¿


    ¡¾What brand of cat food is this? It looks delicious? ¡¿


    ¡¾#%##@#! @#! @#%@¡¿


    ¡¾Sorry, my mount was so excited to see Xiao Xue Ji just now and typed a string of words randomly. ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, it wants to say that it bought the cat food. ¡¿


    ¡¾I''m afraid the above is Leiting, the snake itsssself? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh no, I refuse! I refuse this marriage! Snake and cat love is absolutely impossible! ¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe was also afraid that Xiao Xue Ji would get indigestion, so she took a look at the ingredients of the cat food. There were nine kinds of meat in it, and it seemed to be fine.


    She asked, "Do you feel sick?"


    Xiao Xue Ji shook her head. She was very happy when she heard Lin Xinghe''s voice.


    "Mommy, mom, mommmmm!"


    Lin Xinghe said: "The City of Machines has banned magic and immortality, and the portable space is also banned, so you can''t come out. There is dry food in the drawer in the corner. If you are tired of eating cat food or don''t like it, you can eat the dry food inside. Bear with it just a little longer, half of the exam room is already over."


    Xiao Xue Ji answered loudly, "Okay, Mommy."


    Xiao Xue Ji grabbed another handful of cat food and put the pellets into her mouth one by one, like she was eating hard candies.


    "Mom, I''ve been super good!"


    "Mom, I missed you."


    "Mom, this is super delicious, do you want to eat some?"


    Lin Xinghe''s heart was about to melt.


    --------------------


    TL Notes:


    In Chinese, Xiling¡¯s title means ¡°the leader of a group,¡± which could refer to either a conductor in the musical sense or a captain/commander in the military sense. When Lin Xinghe learns that Xiling has a military role, she switches to referring to it as a commander, but in Chinese, the two are still said the same way, so the other robots can¡¯t tell which one she¡¯s using.

 CH 69.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 69.1


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t wait to get into the portable space and give Xiao Xue Ji headpats and belly rubs. However, her portable space was different from Xie Wuan''s portable space. Her body itself couldn¡¯t get in, and it could only be opened by her consciousness.


    Lin Xinghe also felt that the skydome was troublesome.


    If there were no skydome, it would be much more convenient for her to leave Xiao Xue Ji in the city of machines.


    There were pros and cons though.


    If it weren¡¯t for the skydome, she probably wouldn''t have made it until now.


    The car that Andrew gave her was actually amphibious.


    After leaving the huge island, it rushed directly into the ocean, turned into a ship, and moved forward rapidly.


    Lin Xinghe had checked the map of Tianhui in the City of Machines.


    This world was not big, at about one-fifth the size of her before-novel. The Holy City was like the China she used to belong to, but the area was smaller by half, while the city of machines was like the island country next to the China of the before-novel, and its area was again smaller by half. The two cities were separated by the ocean, and the mermaids occupied this sea.


    After about two hours, the boat finally stopped.


    Fifteen said, "The entrance to Mermaid City is here, just ahead."


    Lin Xinghe looked through the glass window.


    A line was drawn on the sea level with shells in front, and a flag was erected on each shell. On the flag was the symbol of a mermaid. At first glance, it looked like the symbol of a certain green coffee brand in Lin Xinghe¡¯s world.


    Fifteen asked, "Do you want to go down now?"


    Lin Xinghe deliberately pondered for a moment before saying, "I have to go down, but I have a plan, and I need you to cooperate with me, so as to be safe. I''m here to persuade the lord of Mermaid City, which is equivalent to coming here as a city messenger. You are the personal guard of the Lord of the City. If you come down with me, it will show that I am not sincere. So I need you to wait for me here. If there is an accident, I will send you a location, and you have to immediately come down to save me. If there is no accident, you should stay here waiting for me to bring the mermaid lord back to the City of Machines! Comrades! The first shot of our battle has been fired!"


    Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen responded, "Fight for freedom!"


    After Lin Xinghe gave them some adrenaline, she jumped into the sea.


    There was also Mona''s potion in her portable space, and she brought a bottle.


    The mechanical casing of her robot was waterproofed, and a pressure-resistant coating was added, allowing freedom of movement on the seabed. With the addition of Mona''s potion, Lin Xinghe immediately felt deja vu the moment she dived into the seabed.


    Long-lost ocean.


    Long-lost Barbaros.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t have time to recall the last exam room.


    She had a lot to do next.


    After she entered the depths of the seabed, she made sure that Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen would not come down, so she left the robot encasing. She originally planned to find a coral clump to hide it, but soon, she remembered that she had portable space, and she happily put it in there.


    However, Lin Xinghe still found a coral clump.


    She looked around and confirmed that there were no creatures nearby before releasing Xiao Xue Ji. Xiao Xue Ji''s human form choked when she touched the water, but she cleverly changed her form, turned into a fish, and circled around Lin Xinghe happily.


    Lin Xinghe said to Xiao Xue Ji, "Remember Xie Wuan? It''s the guy whose space you accidentally broke into. There were many figurines in it, and you even ate his Jinwudan. Can you become like him?"


    Xiao Xue Ji frothed out bubbles and seemed to be thinking.


    After a while, Xiao Xue Ji turned into a white sphere. After a second, the white sphere stretched out her arms, and after another few seconds, the white sphere stretched out her legs. After that, the white sphere grew a head, but were no facial features on it.


    Xiao Xue Ji asked, "Mom, do I look like Xie Wuan?"


    Lin Xinghe was silent for a second and said, "...It¡¯s not very alike."


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahahahaha! Is that what our Boss Xie looks like in Xiao Xue Ji''s mind? ¡¿


    ¡¾Maybe Xie Wuan often wears white, so in Xiao Xue Ji''s mind, he is a white sphere with hands and feet? ¡¿


    ¡¾I also think so hahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾The series: Reasons for Xie Wuan to Want to Hit People! ¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe originally planned to describe Xie Wuan''s appearance, but after thinking about it, she felt that Xiao Xue Ji might not be able to understand what she described. Without an exact reference, it seemed impossible. But as long as there was a reference, Xiao Xue Ji could quickly comprehend it, just like the last time with the hadal ogres, she completed the perfect transformation after seeing a glimpse of one.


    ...But where was she going to find a reference photo of Xie Wuan?


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe remembered something.


    Gu Taoyao, her deskmate, once sent her a photo of Xie Wuan.


    The school''s mobile phone also had a waterproof function, and it could also be used after staying with her on the seabed for so long last time. She took it out without hesitation and dug up Xie Wuan''s photo.


    It was a photo of Xie Wuan secretly taken by someone in the cafeteria.


    The facial features were clear.


    Lin Xinghe showed Xiao Xue Ji. She immediately understood. Her head became exactly the same as in the photo, but her body was still a white sphere. Lin Xinghe didn''t have any impression of how tall Xie Wuan was either, but it was probably okay to compare him to others.


    She said, "Probably a lot taller than me, the clothes should be as in the photo, and the body is not a sphere, it''s like in the photo... Jiuge, you''ve seen him before, just follow his figure..."


    With Lin Xinghe''s efforts, Xiao Xue Ji finally turned into a 90% copy of Xie Wuan. It''s not that she didn¡¯t look alike, it was just that the temperament of a person was difficult to conjure up, especially Xie Wuan¡¯s¡­ removed aura.

 CH 69.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 69.2


    Xiao Xue Ji transformed into a human.


    Lin Xinghe fed her Mona''s potion.


    Although Xiao Xue Ji was taller than Lin Xinghe now and has Xie Wuan''s cold face, she was still Xiao Xue Ji in essence. Xiao Xue Ji hadn''t seen Lin Xinghe for five days, and now that it was rare for her to come out. She even turned into a human figure that can talk, and there were no creatures other around, so she knew she could talk.


    She hugged Lin Xinghe. Originally, at her normal height, she could only rub her head against Lin Xinghe''s thighs or climb up onto her shoulders, but now she was taller than Lin Xinghe. When they hugged, Lin Xinghe''s forehead only reached her chin, and her cheeks were pressed up against her chest.


    In the eyes of the audience in the livestream, Xie Wuan hugged Lin Xinghe and frantically acted like a spoiled child with her.


    ¡¾¡­¡­I do not know what to say. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Boss Xie would never be coquettish with others in this life, right? ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan rarely even talks, but acting like a spoiled child? Have you ever seen Xianjun coquettish? ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan''s calm calamity personality was tragically destroyed by Xiao Xue Ji hahahahaha ¡¿


    At this time, Lin Xinghe''s inner thoughts were completely different from those of her audience


    She was the one who had truly seen Xie Wuan''s heart.


    ...To be honest, Xie Wuan''s eloquence level, in a certain respect, actually was similar in taste to Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s. Probably when Xiao Xue Ji kept calling mommy, mom, mommm, Xie Wuan would keep calling his wifey, wife, wiiiiiiiiiife, right? The premise was that Xie Wuan had a significant other. But with a character like Xie Wuan, his partners may be his figurines...


    Xiao Xue Ji asked, "Mom, I don''t know how Xie Wuan talks..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "You don''t need to talk, just keep your face cold and don''t say a word. Xie Wuan''s essence lies in his expressionless face. People will interpret his heart by themselves. Don''t be afraid, Xie Wuan¡¯s illustrious self is still in the city of machines. We¡¯re at the city of mermaids, and he has already conquered it. There are only two possibilities for him to be driven out and back in the city of machines. One is that he made an illusion copy of himself to return to the mermaid world, and the other is that he secretly assassinated a robot and snuck back in."


    She paused and said, "Whether it''s the first possibility or the second possibility, there is either no Xie Wuan in the city of mermaids, or there is only a fake Xie Wuan. It''s naturally best without Xie Wuan, but if it''s a fake Xie Wuan, well¡­ It doesn''t matter if the Xie Wuan is infused with his power. He would appear less in front of the public to avoid being seen through. Xie Wuan used his power to quickly get the city of mermaids. Now that you have become Xie Wuan, we can just follow behind him."


    Lin Xinghe added, "The City of Machinery has banned magic, and Xie Wuan''s illustrious self cannot be connected to the City of Mermaids. We can directly go for it."


    Lin Xinghe left the robot body for the convenience of talking to Xiao Xue Ji.


    Now that the explanation was over, she got into the robot body again.


    There should also be some candidates in Mermaid City.


    Although she was not as famous as Xie Wuan, if she rashly appeared in the city of mermaids and was seen through by the examinees, it would not be conducive to the progress of her plan.


    Xie Wuan probably did something drastic to these poor mermaids.


    As soon as "Xie Wuan" appeared, the mermaids didn''t dare to look at him at all.


    Even if they met the candidates in the same examination room, as soon as they saw Xie Wuan, they immediately averted their eyes and left.


    She followed behind Xiao Xue Ji, and with the help of Xie Wuan''s threateningness, she went all the way to the seabed palace of the lord of the Mermaid City. She circled the palace smoothly. No mermaid came over, and no one even dared to ask why a robot appeared in the city of mermaids.


    After a long time, Lin Xinghe saw a merman swimming over.


    Jed stammered, "City Lord, didn''t you say that you were not feeling well and wanted to rest in the palace?"


    Following Lin Xinghe''s instructions, Xiao Xue Ji looked at Jade with a blank expression.


    Jed said immediately, "I¨CI¡¯m sorry..."


    Jed left immediately.


    Lin Xinghe took Xiao Xue Ji straight to the bedroom.


    Sure enough, she saw Xie Wuan''s illusionary body inside. Without any hesitation, Lin Xinghe asked Xiao Xue Ji to handle the Xie Wuan that was lying on the bed. It was quite neat and tidy.


    Xie Wuan''s corpse didn''t have any attack power. When it died, it turned into a single thin hair. It was probably the medium of Xie Wuan''s illusion.


    After resolving Xie Wuan''s illusion, Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji performed another big show in front of a crowd of mermaids.


    "Xie Wuan" assembled a crowd of mermaids.


    Lin Xinghe tied up "Xie Wuan", borrowed Xiaopu''s voice collected earlier, and advertised it wildly to a crowd of mermaids.


    "From today, the old city lord Xie Wuan abdicates, and your mermaid city is under my control."

    The mermaids were already numb to it all.


    After all, just five days ago, they had witnessed their own mermaid city lord being killed by Xie Wuan, and all 36 of his relatives were exterminated together, and the old city lord was tortured further. Later, Xie Wuan opened its belly and scooped out its internal organs. He then brutally roasted them on the fire, and in the end he didn''t even let go of the ashes.


    The mermaids felt that their end was coming, and there would be no more terrifying pervert than Xie Wuan.


    Unexpectedly, after five days, a pervert like Xie Wuan would be fed into the hands of a robot and become the prisoner of a robot.


    They were merfolk, being ruled by humans or cyborgs didn¡¯t make that much of a difference.


    The only conflicting feeling of theirs was-


    Only perverts could subdue perverts.


    Therefore, this robot must have been a more perverted existence than Xie Wuan.


    So, the mermaids accepted the fact that the ruler was replaced without any resistance.


    After the candidates in the city of mermaids knew that Xie Wuan had become a prisoner of robots, no one questioned the truth of Xie Wuan. In their impression, Xie Wuan was so powerful that he could not have been planted in the hands of an NPC. It could only be a false planting, and there must be some reason for it.


    They came in a hurry, wanting to see the appearance of the immortal being reduced to prisoners, regardless of whether this was true or false, they would bask in the gossip first.


    Unexpectedly, they saw Xie Wuan''s hands and feet in chains, a white robe clinging to his body, and his long hair untied and draped in a mess. At this moment, he was sitting at the feet of the robot, like a... neglected male concubine.


    Students: ? ? ?


    In the city of mermaids, the difference between mermaids and humans was still very obvious.


    After all, one had a long fish tail, and the other had two feet.


    Lin Xinghe glanced roughly, but did not count the number of candidates.


    She was wearing the skin of a robot, and thus was unwilling to reveal her true voice just for this moment.


    She ordered all the mermaids, "Put all the human beings in front of this city lord!"


    All the villains in Mermaid City had never left Mermaid City since they landed here. After all, there was Xie Wuan in this exam room. Based on Xie Wuan''s destructive ability in the past, instead of taking the initiative to attack, it was better to wait here to pick up the trail of the boss.


    However, they never expected that the robots would do this.


    ... The one who could bring down the big boss Xie Wuan must have been at the boss¡¯s level at least!


    ...The machine city came over, and the test questions were related to the Power Stone. Would the boss be a walking Power Stone?


    All the students exchanged glances and thought of attacking the big boss. Although they didn¡¯t know what the big boss¡¯s skills were, they had strength in numbers, and it wasn¡¯t Xie Wuan¡ªif they couldn¡¯t beat the boss, they¡¯d just run.


    The candidates and the mermaids had completely different ideas.


    The mermaids were disheartened and numb, and whoever ruled them didn¡¯t change that they were still alive. As soon as Lin Xinghe ordered it, a few mermaids stepped forward.


    The students were not afraid of mermaids.


    After all, the mermaids in this examination room only had the mermaid''s singing voice attack, which was a sound attack. As long as they blocked out the sound, killing mermaids was no different from slaughtering big fish.


    The students in the city of mermaids gathered and were sent to Lin Xinghe by the mermaid.


    They quietly used magic, formed a noise barrier, and exchanged ideas.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe suddenly said, "Since ancient times, robots and humans have sworn to be at odds with each other because of the Power Stone. This city lord is very merciful and spare your lives that should have died under my blade. Go back and tell your city lord that within five days, the army of the city of machines and the city of mermaids will invade the Holy City! I offer you my loyalty, and this city lord will not treat you badly in the future."


    She added, "Your human bodies are too fragile. If you really want to be loyal to me, I have to transform you with Power Stones to make your body stronger and more resistant!"


    When the candidates heard the words "Power Stone" and transformation, their eyes lit up one after another.


    ...The body-strengthening potions in the interplane mall were priced sky-high. Although these fantasy and xianxia students had magic and cultivator arts, not all of them were aggressive spells, and they had cooldowns. If they were caught while on cooldown, they would be turned into crisps.


    It was extremely rare to get props to strengthen one¡¯s body in examination rooms. Qi Qing, the ancient department boss in the school, had such an opportunity to strengthen his body. That was how he squeezed into the ranks of the bosses.


    Because these candidates spawned in the mermaid territories, all their knowledge about the test prompt was from the mermaids.


    As for the Power Stone, it was only known that this was what gave the robots life.


    Now listening to the robot boss say this, they did not have any doubts, even if there was a slight doubt, it was quickly dispelled by their own people¡ª¡ª


    "Will there be a pithole?"


    "Why would the robot boss want to trap us? Aren¡¯t the world¡¯s three cities facing each other? If it wants to conquer the holy city, it can''t wipe out all human beings, right? It definitely needs some traitors who are loyal to it!"


    "Could the robot be Lin Xinghe? I was in the same exam room as Lin Xinghe, and she... deceived all the candidates."


    "Lin Xinghe is only from the modern department, what are you afraid of! She dominated her exam room because there was no Xie Wuan. Do you think a modern villain can beat Xie Wuan?"


    "I guess¡­"


    "It makes sense..."


    Their doubts were thus dispelled.


    The rich and attractive opportunities to transform and strengthen their body made the candidates completely give up the idea of attacking the robot boss in groups, and they offered their superficial loyalty. If they lived, they were the people of the city of machines, and if they died, they were the ghosts of the city of machines.


    Lin Xinghe: "This city lord appreciates your knowledge of current affairs. Go, go to the holy city and deliver this city lord¡¯s challenge letter!"


    Candidates: "No problem! We are the best undercover agents!"


    ¡¾I felt sorry for these candidates for three seconds. ¡¿


    ¡¾They are happy like children now... ¡¿


    ¡¾They seem to have taken the hidden NPC quest, and everyone is looking forward to the attractive rewards after the quest is completed...¡¿


    ¡¾Still too naive! ¡¿


    ¡¾Xie Wuan''s reputation was killed again...¡¿


    ¡¾Too bad, I will have PTSD. In the future, whenever Lin Xinghe and I are in the same exam room, I will doubt whether the villain boss is Lin Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡¾#%#@##@%@%¡¿


    ¡¾@Fu Zhou, take care of your mount! Don¡¯t let it fucking roll its face on the keyboard! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ahhh Leiting! I don''t allow this marriage! Begging you to go find a little female snake! Our Xiao Xue Ji should to match with the best-looking ragdoll cat! ¡¿

 CH 70.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 70.2


    After Lin Xinghe drove all the candidates out of the city of mermaids, she started to learn about the specific situation of the city.


    It would be much more convenient for her when the candidates were not there.


    There were three races in this world.


    She already knew enough about the city of machines, but she didn¡¯t know enough about the mermaid clan and the human race. She didn''t fully believe what came out of the robots¡¯ mouth That didn''t mean that she suspected Haywood and Comrade Xiaopu of deceiving her, but what they learned about the situation was basically what the city lord wanted them to understand. Not to mention the city of machines also had a cultish following of its leader.


    Therefore, she must try to comprehend the situation of the three cities and even the three city masters in order to accurately understand the world of the examination room and to speculate where the Power Stone was.


    Fortunately, the mermaids were not as difficult to deal with as the robots in the city of machines, perhaps due to Xie Wuan. The eyes of the mermaids looking at her very vividly said- actually, it was almost written on their faces - ¡°You are perverted. I can''t afford to offend you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe saw that the mermaid in front of her looked familiar, and then she remembered that this mermaid followed Xie Wuan when he was in the City of Machines. As someone who had been useful to Xie Wuan, this mermaid must have some benefit. She beckoned to the mermaid, asking for a name.


    Mermaid: "My name is Jed."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you know of the Power Stone?"


    Jed said, "The Power Stone is the stone that gives life to the robots. It was invented by the human race. It is shaped like an ordinary stone and is only the size of a palm. Now, it is in the hands of the city of machines¡¯¡­ city lord."


    Although Jed had never seen that city lord, he knew that the robot in front of him was not one and the same.


    It was the first time that Lin Xinghe knew the specific shape and size of the Power Stone, and she continued to question Jed.


    Soon, she learned more information from Jed''s mouth.


    For example, there were no special requirements for the storage of the Power Stone, and even if one threw it in the ocean, it would work just as well.


    After Lin Xinghe found that out, she felt a little sad.


    She originally thought that the Power Stone could only be hiding in the safest dungeon of the city of machines, but now she knew that throwing it in a corner could still allow it to work, she realized that the Power Stone was really not easy to find. In fact, it would be tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe paused and asked, "Why do you, in the city of mermaids, know so well? You do not have a good relationship with the city of machines."


    Jed said, "The mermaids of our mermaid tribe all know that the old city lord and Andrew of the City of Machines had a close relationship at first, so they joined forces to fight against the human race. Today, the three cities stand against each other. I don''t know what happened. Andrew gradually stopped communicating with the old city lord, and the two cities did not have any contact... So the old city lord knew a lot of things related to the Power Stone. The old city lord was also the only mermaid who had seen the Power Stone with its own eyes. "


    If she could get this information, presumably Xie Wuan also knew it.


    He had almost rummaged through all of the castle of the City of Machinery, and he had not found the Power Stone. Could it be that the Power Stone was not in the city of machinery? Wouldn''t Andrew put such an important thing in the city of machinery that had its own skydome?


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Before Xie Wuan killed the old city lord, did the old city lord say anything to Xie Wuan?"


    Jed said, "I wasn''t there at the time, but I heard from the caring guard of the old city lord that the old city lord didn''t say anything to Xie Wuan, but Xie Wuan spoke to the old city lord."


    "What did he say?"


    Jed said, "This illustrious one¡¯s sword is very fast."


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised.


    Jed added, "After the old city lord died, Xie Wuan killed the old city lord''s family, and then..." Jed''s tail was trembling, and he didn''t even dare to look at Lin Xinghe''s feet. He continued in a low voice, "Xie Wuan cut open the city lord''s stomach, took out his organs, set fire to the old city lord''s body, and finally made beads from the old city lord''s ashes..."


    ...It did sound like something only a pervert would do, and in her original world, this would be categorized as a cruel antisocial personality disorder.


    But now in the examination room, it remained to be determined whether the NPCs inside were actualive.


    Besides, Lin Xinghe didn''t think Xie Wuan''s behavior was due to his abnormal hobbies.


    Xie Wuan was a very experienced boss in the examination rooms. His super high strength could allow him to omit many steps in the examination and directly achieve the result he wanted.


    The exam question was to destroy the Power Stone.


    If Xie Wuan dug out the old city lord''s internal organs, did it mean that he thought the Power Stone might be hidden in the old city lord''s body? For example, in her last exam room, to find the alpine rimeroses, she had to carve open the chests of the hadal ogres. Was it possible that the roasting of mermaid corpses, burning of mermaid organs, and beading of mermaid ashes was his style of problem solving?


    If she had Xie Wuan''s strength and could destroy most of the mermaid city with a wave of her hand, she wouldn¡¯t have to bother to understand the world or even try to find clues. She would just simply and rudely destroy the world, no matter where the Power Stone was. If the whole world was destroyed, would the Power Stone not be destroyed with it?


    Lin Xinghe tried to understand the intention of the proctors.


    She had experienced few exam rooms, so she couldn¡¯t make a final conclusion, but Xie Wuan had experienced many exam rooms, and he killed the old mermaid city lord so rudely and simply. It seemed that the ultimate goal of every exam room was to kill people.


    --------------------

 CH 71.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 71.1


    There were only three important NPC bosses in this exam room, strictly speaking.


    One was the Lord of the Holy City, the second was the Lord of the Mermaid City, and the last was the Lord of the City of Machines.


    Now that one of the three NPC bosses had been eliminated, it was obviously not the key person in the exam, so it could only be the Lord of the Holy City or Andrew.


    Lin Xinghe thought in a blink of an eye, simply and rudely destroying everything was always the last resort, just like the alpine rimeroses in her last exam room. If she hadn¡¯t obtained the clues step by step and instead directly killed the hadal ogres, she would never have known that the alpine primroses were the hearts of the hadal ogres. If she burnt the hadal ogres to a crisp, the alpine rimeroses would also have been destroyed, and the test questions would never have been completed. Entering that test room would have been a waste of effort.


    Lin Xinghe''s mind whirred.


    She began to question the school''s business ethic.


    The exam questions were all given by the school, and the school must know that the candidates had to kill the designated NPC if they wanted to complete the exam. Some exam questions directly indicated who to kill, but some exam questions were very obscure.


    She already knew that the school was not an actual school, but a capital platform for making money. She could understand the bloody and exciting gimmicks in order to attract more audiences to watch the candidates'' livestreams.


    But all the exam questions were of the same type, which was essentially murder.


    If there were too many similar themes, would the audiences lose interest in the livestreams?


    For example, the school platform categorized livestreams by candidates¡¯ departments. But in fact, the exams of all of these four departments were essentially aimed at killing people.


    Just like the novels on a website, although the channels were divided according to ancient and modern, magic and cultivation, the themes of each channel¡¯s novels were exactly the same under the guidance of the author. Readers would feel that the light novels were fresh at first, but the novels¡¯ fresh concept would inevitably grow stale.


    Lin Xinghe imagined that she was the boss of the school platform. She would definitely not let the themes¡¯ attractiveness dissipate. She had many interesting themes in her mind. Of course, she would not give up the bloody and exciting livestreams as the main source of interest, but only by putting her eggs in all the baskets would her business be able to continue long term.


    ...Even romance and action movies had various themes!


    Lin Xinghe felt that the school would end sooner or later, so she had to earn enough points to graduate early, lest the school close before she earned enough points and she become an employee to an unscrupulous business that didn¡¯t pay its workers.


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe felt that she would still have to enter the same exam room as Xie Wuan in the future.


    Although he was thinking about making her a figurine, Xie Wuan was responsible for the traffic of the livestreams. Although it was dangerous to touch base with him, as long as she was with Xie Wuan, her livestream would be more popular, and her exposure rate would be greatly improved. She had performed well enough to retain this group of viewers, not to mention that she had analyzed that her livestream audience was quite sticky and had a high conversion rate.


    In other words, the air that Xie Wuan was breathing was all points.


    The more Lin Xinghe thought about it, the more she felt that she had to hurry up. With Xie Wuan''s problem-solving style, although he was under house arrest now, as long as he seized the opportunity, he would kill Andrew in minutes.


    If he controlled the city of machines, it would be difficult for her to pass the exam and stay alive.


    Lin Xinghe began to plan for the worst. If Xie Wuan took control of the City of Machines and destroyed the skydome, what would she do?


    There seemed to be only one way left.


    She could only directly go up against Xie Wuan!


    She had to find out more clues quickly. The only thing that was holding Xie Wuan hostage was the prompt of this exam - the Power Stone.


    Lin Xinghe asked Jed again, "Where has Xie Wuan been in Mermaid City?"


    Jed was a little confused.


    Xie Wuan was clearly at her feet, so why didn''t she ask him directly.


    Lin Xinghe seemed to see his confusion and said lightly, "He''s already disabled, mute.¡±


    Jed shuddered, thinking that she was indeed a pervert.


    He hurriedly listed the places Xie Wuan had been to in the City of Mermaids.


    Lin Xinghe pondered slightly and commanded, "Take me there."


    As she said this, she put "Xie Wuan" into the portable space in front of Jed, and then used her consciousness to talk to Xiao Xue Ji in the portable space, asking her to change her appearance at will.


    The next second, a huge green snake circled around Lin Xinghe.


    Jed quickly retracted his gaze and led Lin Xinghe around the Mermaid Castle according to Xie Wuan''s visit route. Lin Xinghe didn''t find anything. Just when she was about to be disappointed, Jed took her to the top of the Mermaid Castle.

 CH 71.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 71.2


    He stayed at the door and said, "Xie Wuan was here the longest."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What place is this?"


    Jed replied, "The old city lord¡¯s place of wisdom, only a city lord is allowed to enter."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, you stay here."


    Saying that, she took Xiao Xue Ji into the land of wisdom.


    As soon as she entered, Lin Xinghe couldn''t help being stunned.


    There was no water in the place of wisdom, and there were dense bookshelves.


    On the shelf were scrolls after scrolls of parchment.


    There were words on the scroll in multiple languages, none of which she could understand.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at her surroundings. It was said to be a place of wisdom, but it was actually a large library. It was hard to imagine how many books there were. Lin Xinghe circled inside, trying to find the traces of Xie Wuan''s path.


    But there were too many scrolls.


    She looked until her eyes glazed over but she still couldn''t find which ones Xie Wuan had turned over.


    Besides, there was a problem, what Xie Wuan looked at might not even be a clue, otherwise Xie Wuan would know where the Power Stone was. She was someone who had heard Xie Wuan''s inner voice, after all.


    Lin Xinghe closed her eyes.


    She pondered slightly.


    After a while, she opened her eyes and took out the storage ring that Jiuge had given her. She emptied all the items inside and transferred them to the interior of her portable space.


    The storage ring had five compartments, and each compartment could accommodate fifty of the same items, adding up to two hundred and fifty total.


    These parchment were all sheepskin on the outside and were essentially books. To a certain extent, they were actually identical items.


    She tried to store them, and she was a little surprised. They were really all put into the same grid, but only the word ¡°book¡± was the identifying tag for the category. No language was recognized, and even garbled characters were generated.


    What Lin Xinghe saw was a pile of garbled characters and characters.


    Lin Xinghe''s eyes gradually brightened with excitement.


    Although the automatic identification system could not recognize the language, it meant that the system could quickly screen these books. This place of wisdom housed all kinds of books, and the language of the City of Machinery was recognizable to her, the language of the Holy City must be the same as the City of Machinery, because the robots were born in the Holy City, and their culture came from there too.


    The place of wisdom must have had books related to the City of Machinery and the culture of the Holy City.


    The automatic identification function of the storage ring was able to recognize text.


    She could identify two hundred and fifty parchment books at a time, and even if there were 10,000 books, she only needed to identify forty times for forty sets of books. Ten seconds at a time, four hundred seconds for forty times, which was only about 5 minutes..


    The automatic identification function also recognized the title of the book, which greatly saved her time.


    Lin Xinghe did what she planned.


    Five or six minutes later, more than 100 books with characters that Lin Xinghe knew appeared in the automatic identification function the storage ring, including "Natural Scenery of the Holy City", "One Hundred Delicious Foods of the Holy City", "The Origin of Culture of the City of Machinery", "Andrew''s Three Deadly Sins", "The Battle of the Holy City and the City of Machinery", "The Ten Ladies of Lucius", etc.


    ...Lucius?


    Lin Xinghe took out the book, turned a few pages, and found that Lucius was the name of the city lord of the Holy City. From the content of the prologue, the subject matter of the book was different from that of the previous books. It was more like a biography of Lucius''s wives and also briefly touched on the first half of Lucius'' life.


    Lin Xinghe glanced briefly, and found that Lucius''s life was very good. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. All the things that others could hope for, such as power, wealth, and beauty, were within easy reach for him. His only failure was to attack the mermaids with awakened robots. In the city of mermaids, the robots betrayed him, which formed today''s three cities.


    ...If Lucius had succeeded in the attack at that time, if the Mermaid City surrendered, and the robots had not rebelled, Lucius would simply have been a winner in life.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t read "The Ten Ladies of Lucius" again.


    She glanced at "Andrew''s Three Deadly Sins" again. The author was a human in the Holy City, and he listed the big and small sins of Andrew the traitor.


    She glanced at it, and the basic facts were not much different from what she had guessed, but the book contained a lot of subjective emotions from the author himself.


    Lin Xinghe also stopped reading that book.


    She swept the list of books given by the storage ring, and unexpectedly found that there were many novel themed books, such as "The Ruler of Tianhui Continent - Mermaid,¡± "Mermaid''s Counterattack,¡± "When Mermaid Becomes Machine,¡± "The King of Mermaids,¡± "Andrew''s Hundred Letters to the Mermaids of Begging for Mercy,¡± "Lucius''s Hundred Hymns to the Mermaids,¡± etc.


    Written by the same man - Carter Wade.


    She picked out a random copy, and the author''s introduction was clearly written - Carter Wade, a novelist by profession, also serving as the lord of Mermaid City. A great writer acknowledged by all mermaids.


    Lin Xinghe: ...Oh, mermaids also have literary dreams!


    --------------------

 CH 72.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 72.1


    Lin Xinghe was somewhat interested in these books, but there was not much time left, and she couldn''t read them all in such a short time.


    She could only skim through them once.


    Suddenly, she discovered that there was a parchment book without a title in the automatic identification book.


    She froze slightly and picked it out.


    She opened the parchment, which was handwritten, not printed.


    It turned out to be an essay, written by the mermaid city lord Carter Wade.


    ¡­Today, the earth is divided into two parts, the land belonging to the human race of the Holy City and the sea to the mermaid race. Today, the undercover spies of this clan came to the news that the human race has plans to attack the mermaid race. I have summoned all the young talents of my clan. Looking left and right, not one seems to be able to fight. It seems that they cannot escape the fate of being exterminated¡­


    ¡­Baleen has quite a stunning appearance, blond hair and blue eyes, bright fish tail¡­ she¡¯s even prettier than my daughter¡­


    ¡­I told my daughter not to provoke Baleen, and she asked me, as the daughter of the city lord, why couldn¡¯t she provoke a commoner? I told her that Baleen was stunning. My daughter thought I was going to marry her and did not provoke Baleen anymore. I knew she had misunderstood, but I had no explanation¡­


    ¡­I looked at myself in the mirror. I was not handsome enough, and I was no longer in my prime. I was an old man¡­


    ¡­I left the mermaid clan, sneaked into the holy city quietly, and glanced at Lucius, the city lord of the holy city from a distance. He was already outstanding at a young age, and he was born so beautiful. The beauties around him were like clouds, and they all broke their hearts for him¡­


    ¡­The human race is technologically advanced. Lucius has been researching artificial intelligence all year round. It is made of silver metal and shines in the sun. According to the people of the human race, it also has a name, Andrew. Lucius loves it very much and carries it everywhere. Lucius has a crazy idea, he wants Andrew to have life¡­


    ¡­Oh, that''s an interesting idea¡­


    ¡­The great scientists made Lucius'' dream come true. I''m not surprised, after all, he is Lucius¡­


    ¡­The human race of the Holy City has come to attack the mermaid race. I am going to burn the books I have collected over the years¡­


    ¡­Eh? This is quite convoluted¡­


    ¡­Am I guessing wrong?...


    ¡­Andrew came to me to join forces against the humans¡­


    ¡­What? Andrew and I won¡­


    ¡­Am I really guessing wrong?...


    ¡­Oh, I didn¡¯t¡­


    ¡­Baleen became Lucius'' eighth wife¡­


    ¡­Andrew came to find me¡­


    ¡­Oh¡­I know why¡­


    ¡­Poor Andrew, why do you have to live so stubbornly? No one can escape the devil''s control! Why bother so much! An earlier death means an earlier rebirth¡­


    ¡­I couldn¡¯t persuade Andrew. People are different, and their ideas are different¡­


    ¡­Andrew left angrily¡­


    ¡­Ah¡­ it looks like it''s going to be a long journey¡­


    ¡­Baleen returned to the city of mermaids and told me that Lucius wanted to meet Andrew. The meeting place was in the city of mermaids, and I was the middleman. I entertained them in the place of my precious wisdom¡­


    ¡­I saw the Power Stone¡­


    ¡­Such a small stone, it''s not as ostentatious  as I imagined¡­ It¡¯s quite unremarkable¡­


    ¡­Who would have guessed that such a mediocre piece of stone could give life to a mechanical body¡­


    ¡­Andrew and Lucius couldn¡¯t come to an agreement¡­


    ¡­Andrew actually wanted to kill Lucius! In my territory! I stopped it. Andrew scolded me for not being power hungry, and I didn''t refute it. I analyzed the current situation of the Three Cities and told it that even if the end of the world comes, the one who lives until then must be Lucius¡­


    ¡­Andrew angrily asked me so what¡­


    ¡­It thinks I''m pitiful¡­


    ¡­I sent off the two city lords with a smile, and I continued to create my articles. Only words are eternal, and they can prove that I have lived¡­


    ¡­It''s been a long time.


    ¡­Ten years.


    ¡­Twenty years.


    ¡­Thirty years.


    ¡­Forty years.


    ¡­Fifty years.


    ¡­So peaceful¡­


    ¡­Andrew and Lucius are testing each other. I pretend to be ignorant of how they both want my support. I''m not stupid. They are ambitious, and they can''t tolerate me, an old man who only has a beautiful and peaceful heart¡­


    ¡­Ah¡­why am I not dead yet¡­


    ¡­I''m ninety years old! How come I''m still alive! Do mermaids live this long¡­


    ¡­One thing to say, Andrew is really powerful, and it is very likely that it has suffered a lot¡­


    ¡­Unfortunately, no matter how powerful it is, it is still so pitiable¡­


    ¡­The guards reported to me that a strange group of humans had broken into the city. I knew that they were servants of the devil, and I knew that I would not live to be ninety-two years old. Goodbye, my library¡­


    ¡­Andrew, farewell¡­


    No new text followed.


    Lin Xinghe turned the pages very quickly.


    The camera didn''t focus on the pages in the parchment.


    The audience in the livestream saw Lin Xinghe turning the pages quickly, but they couldn''t see anything written in the parchment book at all. Lin Xinghe had a serious expression on her face.

    ¡¾No, what happened to this livestream? ¡¿


    ¡¾I can understand why they don''t let us watch them take a shower and go to the toilet, but why don''t they let us see what''s written in the parchment! ¡¿


    ¡¾I want to see what the mermaid author wrote. ¡¿


    ¡¾Yeah, we only only the first half, the second half is completely invisible! ¡¿


    ¡¾I''ll daydreamed for a while and I didn¡¯t see anything! ¡¿


    ¡¾Negative Ratings! ¡¿


    ¡¾The livestream viewing experience is extremely poor! ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m so curious, what exactly was written in the second half? Did the old mermaid master marry the stunning mermaid Baleen? Are there any viewers who squatted in Xie Wuan''s livestream? Have you seen the stunning mermaid Baleen? How stunning is it? ¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe took away all the books she could understand and randomly selected some other books that she could not understand. She now had a storage ring and a portable space, and it was very convenient to carry things.


    She left the place of wisdom with Xiao Xue Ji.


    Jed was still waiting outside.


    She asked Jed, "Where did Xie Wuan kill the old city lord?"


    Jed replied "Xie Wuan found the old city lord here."


    It''s no wonder that the collection of books was not burned. It seems that the old city lord master was killed by Xie Wuan before it could burn anything.


    Presumably Xie Wuan didn''t find these books in the place of wisdom, let alone the handwritten notes of the old man fish city master, otherwise he would now know where the Power Stone was hidden.


    Lin Xinghe was a little excited.


    She knew where the Power Stone was hidden before Xie Wuan.


    However, at this moment, Lin Xinghe heard a slight electric current in the machine, followed by a notification sound from the system, asking Lin Xinghe if she wanted to receive news from Prescott.


    Lin Xinghe chose to receive it.


    "Comrade Lin! Don''t come back!"


    "The skydome has been destroyed!"


    "The city of machinery is on fire, and the end of the world is coming."


    Lin Xinghe was shocked.


    Xie Wuan destroyed the skydome and Andrew''s time was running out.


    ¡­There was not much time left for her.


    She must rush to the Holy City immediately.


    The old man fish city master wrote in his essay, " Even if the end of the world comes, the one who lives until then must be Lucius."


    Andrew did not deny it, which meant he also admitted it.


    Andrew was so cautious, so careful.


    The Power Stone was an important thing to the lifeblood of the mechanical family. When the Power Stone was destroyed, the mechanical family was also finished. She originally thought that Andrew would hide the Power Stone in the most secret place.


    But now it seemed that the most dangerous place was the safest place.


    If both Andrew and Carter believed that the end of the world was coming, and the last person to live must be Lucius, then there was only one safest place¡ª


    The body of the City Lord of the Holy City, Lucius.


    According to the description of the previous mermaid lord, Andrew and Lucius had the opportunity to talk alone.


    Andrew had every chance to strike.


    In this exam room, if you wanted to win, the boss you killed was not Andrew, but Lucius.


    She was racing against the clock.


    Lin Xinghe didn''t have time to think about the meaning behind the other essays written in the old man''s handwritten notes, and she didn''t have time to lead the mermaid clan to the Holy City slowly.


    She must be faster than Xie Wuan.


    Her current advantage was knowing where the Power Stone is, and she couldn¡¯t lose that advantage or reveal that she knew where the Power Stone was.


    She had to keep some secrets close to herself.


    Lin Xinghe turned back to the place of wisdom.


    She explained some things to Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji shifted into the appearance of Lin Xinghe.


    She taught Xiao Xue Ji how to use the mechanical system in her body.


    Comrade Xiaopu''s voice was collected on the robot''s sound card, and Xiao Xue Ji didn''t have to worry about the sound at all.


    Xiao Xue Ji learned the controls very quickly, making the livestream audience wonder if it was really a cat, but with Xie Wuan''s Jinwudan present, everyone finally came down to admiring the Jinwudan.


    Xiao Xue Ji got into the mechanical body and went out to support Jed and the other mermaids.


    Lin Xinghe left the city of mermaids.


    She got a potion, Cinderella¡¯s Crystal Slipper, one of the props she exchanged for alpine rimeroses in the last exam room, out from her portable space.


    Instructions for use of Cinderella''s Crystal Slipper¡ª¡ª


    After taking the potion, imagine what you want to become in your mind, it will take effect immediately, and it will expire after 24 hours.


    Note: Only the face can be changed. The body cannot be changed, and sound effects are included.


    Lin Xinghe took the potion without hesitation.


    She imagined in her mind the appearance of the glamorous actress who was known as the eternal beauty in her before-novel.


    Almost at the same time, she felt a slight tingling in her facial features, which dissipated almost immediately.


    She looked in the mirror.


    It really worked.


    Her original sweet face had now become a stunner, a face that could make a country wage war, a face that sailed a thousand ships, a face that would make the Sun and moon pale in comparison.


    Lin Xinghe was very satisfied.


    She opened her mouth and said a few words. Her voice was charming and clear, which was consistent with such a beautiful face.


    She immediately mounted her magic broom and flew to the Holy City.

    ¡¾Blindly guessing that SL will seduce Lucius! ¡¿


    ¡¾Same feeling. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL¡¯s style is not like this, right? Based on the previous exam rooms, SL doesn''t seem like someone who would do such a thing! ¡¿


    ¡¾If you want to keep up with the leader''s thinking, you have to have a bigger brain! ¡¿


    ¡¾Does she want to conduct diplomacy again? In the identity of the Sea King of Barbaros? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, so nervous! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes! Now I want to know between Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe, who can destroy the Power Stone first! Lin Xinghe seems to already know where the Power Stone is. Xie Wuan had already searched the City of Machines and couldn''t find the Power Stone. Just in case, Xie Wuan didn''t kill Andrew because he was afraid that the Power Stone would be fake, he has now held Andrew hostage and is rushing to the Holy City with the mechanical army! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe has at most one day! ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, this is nerve-wracking! It gives me the feeling of watching presidential elections in my before-novel! Oh, Xie Wuan conquered the City of Machines, oh, Lin Xinghe conquered the City of Mermaids, now it''s up to who can win the Holy City! I want to vote for Xie Wuan! ¡¿


    ...


    At this time, Lin Xinghe had already flown to a place about two kilometers away from the Holy City according to the map she found in the city of mermaids. Instead of entering the Holy City directly, she found a deserted suburb.


    She turned on the bracelet and brought up the page of the interplane mall.


    There were a lot of aggressive, defensive, life-saving, body-modifying and other various props in the plane shop. In addition to the props, there were also all kinds of strange objects. There was nothing one couldn¡¯t buy on it, and of course it all cost points.


    Lin Xinghe once found many unpractical props in it, some of which could even be called toys, very similar to what a blue cat in her original world took out of a treasure bag.*


    Sometimes, Lin Xinghe would even think, maybe the world of that blue cat also exists, just in a different plane.


    This showed the insignificance of human beings.


    Lin Xinghe spent 20 points to buy three sets of props, namely Angel¡¯s Wings, Angel¡¯s Light, and Angel¡¯s Robes.


    Angel¡¯s Wings allowed her to have a pair of huge white wings.


    Angel''s Light allowed her to bring out her own Holy Light.


    Angel''s Robes allowed her to wear a one-shoulder white dress .


    This set of props was indeed not cheap; if one could use it all the time, it was fine, but it was a disposable prop. However, Lin Xinghe fell in love with the flight function of the Angel¡¯s Wings. Originally, she could have chosen not to buy the Angel''s Robes, but she bought all of them. If she bought the whole set, there was a bonus effect. When anyone saw her, they would not be able to look directly at her holy face.


    Lin Xinghe liked this very much.


    She put on the angel suit and flew to the Holy City.


    At first, the guards of the Holy City only saw a golden light shining from a distance. When the golden light was near, they saw an angel with white wings descending on their Holy City. Under the Holy Light, although they couldn''t see her face clearly, they felt the stunning visual impact and the pressure brought by the Holy Light.


    "Quick! Go and inform the city lord!"


    "The True God has come to the Holy City!"


    "Great True God, please protect our Holy City from war."


    They put their hands together and prayed fervently.


    The True God did not stay at the city gate, and her golden holy light quickly faded and entered the city.


    Many citizens of the Holy City saw it.


    They were of the same mind as the guards.


    Lin Xinghe knew from Carter¡¯s library that the Holy City was a place where there was a belief in the existence of True God. The book about the culture of the Holy City described the appearance of True God Dorothy in detail¡ª¡ª


    A stunningly gorgeous face, with pure white wings and holy light shining from her body.


    "It''s Goddess Dorothy!"


    "Has the True God come to save the Holy City? Did you know that the city of machines and the city of mermaids are going to join forces to deal with us?"


    "The great True God couldn''t bear her followers to be devastated by the flames of war, and has come to enlighten the world!"


    "Everyone, come and worship Goddess Dorothy! Come and ask the True God to bless the lives of our entire city!"


    ...


    More and more people in the Holy City knelt on the ground and prayed to Lin Xinghe, who was floating in the air and exuding dazzling holy light.


    The citizens of the Holy City were all waiting for the next instructions from Goddess Dorothy.


    ¡¾Hahahahahaha some people said she would seduce Lucius! How could the leader take such a route! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ah! My eyes are going blind! ¡¿


    ¡¾Damn Goddess Dorothy hahahahahaha! ¡¿


    ¡¾To be honest, I also saw this angel suit in the plane mall before. It¡¯s 20 points and sold every day. I was thinking which stupid student with a lot of money would buy it, and now I know that the leader will always do the most unexpected things. ¡¿


    ...


    TL Notes:

 CH 73.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 73.2


    The students in the barrage knew that this was the equipment in the interplane mall, and some of the candidates in the exam room also knew that, but their hearts galloped like a herd of wild horses over the grassy plains.


    ...They dared not use magic in the Holy City! Because someone who used magic was targeted by the Holy City, and the city lord an army to exterminate then heretics! From then on, they acted like normal human beings in the Holy City!


    Now, they were shocked to see one of the candidates fly across the sky extremely eye-catchingly, as if a million spotlights were shining overhead.


    However, they were even more astonished when they saw the reaction of the citizens of the Holy City¡ª


    ...Was this possible?


    ...Was this the correct way to use magic?


    "...Crap, it''s not worth the death of my classmates! What is the origin of this person? Which department and which class?"


    "It''s clearly an angel suit!"


    "Are these citizens blind?"


    "I...why do I think this scene seems familiar?"


    At this time, Lin Xinghe landed on the ground in front of these candidates.


    The holy light on her almost blinded their eyes.


    They took a few steps back.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Does anyone know the magic of territory sealing?"


    Probably because the holy light was too dazzling, the candidates who answered didn¡¯t even turn their heads to look at her, "...I will."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Can you please seal the city?"


    "Okay."


    The examinee''s tone was distorted.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe say, "I¡¯ll introduce myself, I''m Lin Xinghe, and I used a prop to change my appearance."


    "...Wah, I said, no wonder this scene is so familiar! It¡¯s you. I was in the last exam room with you!" said one of the candidates.


    Lin Xinghe added, "Long story short, I have dug up the whole plot and know where the Power Stone is. If you want to get a share of the pie, you can sign up with me and add my contact information. I will add you into a group chat if you are willing to sign up, and I will tell you what you need to do there. Don''t worry, it won''t be difficult. When the time comes, I will announce the plot line and destroy the Power Stone, and I will also notify you, so you guys can get rewards too."


    Several students were hesitant.


    Only the examinee who was in the same exam room as Lin Xinghe did not hesitate to add his contact information and said, "I didn''t get a share of the pie last time you sold it. I can''t fall behind this time. I''ll sign up."


    That candidate told the other candidates, "Trust me, she is Sea King Barbaros. She is very powerful and monopolized all the answers to the exam prompt in the last exam room. Many bosses could only buy them from her."


    Lin Xinghe added, "I have one share, Xie Wuan is a boss, and it is conservatively estimated that he will remove another share. There are only forty-eight shares left, limited shares, limited time."


    Other candidates: ...why does it sound like a sales pitch?


    But when they thought about it, they didn''t find any useful information in the Holy City, and the plot line only reached the surface level. They wanted to go to the city of mermaids to take a look, but they heard that the city of mermaids was occupied by Xie Wuan. Next, they wanted to go to the city of machinery, but they found out that the city of machinery had the skydome, prohibiting magic and immortality. They wouldn¡¯t be caught dead without their magic.


    They gritted their teeth and said, "I''ll sign up!"


    Lin Xinghe happily created a group.


    In the examination room, there were no restrictions on mobile phones, allowing candidates to communicate with each other in the same examination room, but people outside the examination room cannot be contacted.


    Lin Xinghe said to them again, "There are still forty-four places. You can bring in more people. If the people you bring in are professional, I will give you an extra commission."


    "What commission?"


    "I don''t know if there will be additional points for breaking the Power Stone with more force. Anyway, if the people you pull are professional counterparts, I will give you priority. We don''t need more attack-based power, we need defensive power. It would be better to have a shield like Jiuge''s, but they don''t have to be so high-profile. Someone like Fu Zhou who knows how to set up barriers is fine too, the more people like that, the better."


    The candidates had already joined, so they would simply do their best, grit their teeth and agree!


    This exam room was not a randomly assigned exam room, it was a self-registered exam room. Many candidates came in groups and had their own contact information.


    By contacting their exam groups, they livened up Lin Xinghe''s group chat.


    The audience of the livestream¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾I think the leader may have done business through Wechat** in the previous world...¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, isn''t this the the tactics of Wechat business! ¡¿


    Lin¡¤Wechat Business Person¡¤Goddess Dorothy¡¤Xinghe, thanks to a candidate''s shielding magic, made the surrounding Holy City citizens feel more and more mysterious. The people inside were clearly talking, but they couldn''t hear any sound. If this wasn¡¯t the Goddess Dorothy, who could it be?


    Right! This was their great True God!


    God was coming to save the Holy City!


    As soon as the shielding magic was removed, the guards of the Holy City hurried over.


    They tried their best to see the appearance of the goddess Dorothy, but the holy light on her body was so dazzling that after looking at her for a long time, their brains were too dizzy to think more. This was the True God of their Holy City.


    They said to Lin Xinghe respectfully, "The Lord of the City wants to have dinner with you."


    Lin Xinghe nodded reservedly.


    "Lead the way, my believers."


    --------------------


    TL Notes:


    **Wechat business is a type of business where one person has a lot of one product and pulls their contacts into a group on Wechat. These groupchat members then pull their own contacts into the groupchat, so the original seller has a lot of contacts of contacts (of contacts of contacts) to sell their products to.

 CH 74.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 74.1


    Lin Xinghe saw Lucius.


    The sentence written by the previous mermaid lord in its journal¡ª¡ª


    I saw Lucius from a distance, and he was really beautiful.


    She wanted to know how good-looking he was, but now that she saw him with her own eyes, she knew that the mermaid lord''s evaluation of Lucius was still not objective enough.


    Judging from the time recorded in the journal, Lucius was estimated to be seventy or eighty years old. Age-wise, he should have already had one foot in his coffin. Although he had a head full of white hair, his voice still flowed effortlessly. He didn¡¯t look like an old man at all. He was an absolute DILF.


    Even thinking about it with her toes, Lin Xinghe knew how magnificent this human city lord was when he was younger. It was no wonder that there were so many beautiful people hovering around him.


    The previous mermaid lord should have commented more on how fucking hot he was.


    It was a pity.


    As the ultimate prey in the examination room, Lucius could not escape the fate of death.


    The holy light of the angel suit made the already splendid palace become radiant.


    Although Lucius spoke in a full-fledged manner, he was an old man after all, and he felt a little dizzy from looking at the holy light on Lin Xinghe.


    As the lord of a city, Lucius had lived for nearly a hundred years. What storms, what monsters, what ghosts had he not seen? Although the Holy City believed in God, Lucius did not believe that there was a True God in the world.


    Religion was just a tool to better rule the people.


    Respectfully inviting this suspected heretical human who suddenly descended on the Holy City was only out of fear of causing dissatisfaction among the believers. When people entered the palace, it was not so easy to get out.


    However, what he didn''t expect was that the holy light that came out of nowhere was about to give him glaucoma.


    At this time, the Holy Light gradually weakened.


    After Lucius got used to the light he finally saw the face of the woman in front of him. Lucius, who had seen countries and races of rarer and more delectable beauty, was also conquered by the beauty of the woman in front of him.


    He once owned ten stunning beauties, each with their own characteristics, and everyone admired him.


    With the growth of age, all his stunning beauties had passed away, and he had also found many beauties from different cities. With the pearls and jade in the front, the beauties he found later could only be called small porridge with stir-fried vegetables.


    There was a quirky little Oriental beauty in the harem that he had just obtained a few days ago. Of course, he couldn''t compare her to his ten stunning wives, but the little beauty was fresh and interesting, and a little bit different from those found in the city.


    But now that he saw the appearance of the woman in front of him, Lucius realized that his ten stunning wives of the past were not so beautiful, for only the woman in front of him was truly stunning.


    Lucius'' killing intent disappeared instantly.


    Lin Xinghe sensed it.


    ...It seemed that her face took effect, thanks to the book collection of the old man fish city lord. Although she didn''t read the book "The Ten Ladies of Lucius", from the title and the stunning mermaid that Carter had described, Lucius should have been a city lord who is addicted to beautiful women, otherwise he would not have ever accepted a mermaid into his harem.


    Lucius dismissed his entourage and poured wine for Lin Xinghe himself.


    The closer he got, the more Lucius could sense her delicate, pale, tender skin, and the itch in his heart worsened.


    Lin Xinghe observed her surroundings calmly.


    Lucius was still wary of her, and there were still five of his followers around.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe turned her head and smiled at him.


    Lucius was slightly stunned.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I have something to tell you, is it convenient to go to your bedroom?"


    Lucius heard the trap, but he wasn''t afraid. As the lord of a city, it was naturally impossible for him to have no self-defense. After the traitor Andrew stole the Power Stone and the skydome, he asked the scientists in the city to redevelop the skydome. However, the Power Stone was very rare, and the new skydome could only cover a small area.


    Without the magic, the person in front of him was just an ordinary woman, and there was nothing she could do to him.


    Lucius took Lin Xinghe to his bedroom.


    There was no one in the bedroom.


    Lucius was about to open the skydome but unexpectedly found that it was missing.


    Lin Xinghe smiled sweetly at him, "Don''t think that beautiful women are stupid, you will pay a great price for underestimating women."


    Lin Xinghe held his hand.


    The next moment, Lucius was gone.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe begin to look carefully at what she had stolen from Lucius. Just when he approached her, she nabbed it. She knew that it was impossible for Lucius not to guard against her, and if he dared to let her enter the palace, he must have something to defend himself against her magic. This defensive item was most likely on Lucius himself.


    She just wanted to gamble.


    She had always been lucky. She might have succeeded, so she did.


    She successfully put Lucius into her portable space.


    She didn''t know what the small device was. Lin Xinghe thought about it and put it in the storage ring. The automatic identification feature showed that it could not be recognized.


    Lin Xinghe was very accustomed to the fact that this automatic identification feature, which she had activated with a lot of points, was useless.

 CH 74.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 74.2


    Lin Xinghe turned on her phone.


    The number of people in the group had increased to thirty-six.


    They were chatting with each other.


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe: Classmates, the mission is here! Those who can defend against magic, can set up enchantments, and those who have defensive skills report yourselves. Then come and gather here. ¡¿


    Soon, twelve people showed up.


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe: I need twelve layers of enchantment, one layer on top of another. Xie Wuan might come over. If he comes, you can defend yourself depending on the situation. If you can¡¯t block him, run away. ¡¿


    ¡¾Exam A: Xie Wuan? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾Examinee B: Wait, boss, you¡¯re facing Xie Wuan? ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe: You don''t have to worry, it won''t implicate you! It''s okay if you''re worried about getting a layer of disguise. I just need to hold Xie Wuan back for five minutes! Students who know the style of my exam room should understand very well that I am different from Xie Wuan. I am willing to give my classmates a chance to earn points. If Xie Wuan gets the Power Stone, do you think he will share the points with you? He won''t, but I will. ¡¿


    The candidates were persuaded.


    ... Also, how could Xie Wuan remember who they were? Why not earn guaranteed points if you could earn them? Points were the most important at this time. It was Lin Xinghe who was fighting against the boss, and she was the culprit. It had nothing to do with them.


    ¡¾Examinee B: Location. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe immediately posted a location.


    Not long after, Lin Xinghe came out of Lucius''s bedroom.


    "The city of mermaids and the city of machines are already on their way to the Holy City. I must protect the safety of the Holy City and Lucius. I will set up a barrier here, and all the mermaids and robots will be stopped. Guard the outside of the barrier, and all the people who try to break through the barrier should be killed."


    The still dazzling holy light and the halo of the True God made the guards believe her words with confidence.


    At the same time, the candidates came to the outside of the palace.


    With the help of Lin Xinghe, they successfully infiltrated the palace, and at Lin Xinghe''s request, they set up a whole twelve-layered barrier.


    At this time, a guard hurried to report.


    "Report! The army of mermaids has arrived at the city!"


    "Report! The mechanical army is still five kilometers away from our Holy City!"


    Lin Xinghe waved her angel wings, flew into the air, and said, "You protect the safety of the city lord, and I will protect the peace of the Holy City!"


    Saying that, she flew to the city gate.


    Guards: "Ah! Dorothy! Eternal God!"


    The candidates who had just set up the barrier heard this sentence: ... OK, they have nothing to say.


    Lin Xinghe flew above the towering city wall.


    Under the city wall.


    On the left was the mermaid army led by Xiao Xue Ji.


    On the right was the mechanical army that just arrived, led by Xie Wuan. Xie Wuan had recovered his original body. He was cutting through the air, his sword glare bright, and below him was a special cage, made of immortal arts, with Andrew inside.


    Lin Xinghe''s angel suit once again blinded the mermaid army and the mechanical army.


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan''s long-lost voice.


    ¡¾What is this coquettish woman doing? Tossing some bells and whistles!¡¿


    ¡¾Not as good-looking as Lin Xinghe.¡¿


    ¡¾There are fluctuations of enchantment in the distance.¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe thought that a mere barrier could stop my illustrious self?¡¿


    ¡¾With her ingenuity, she must know where the Power Stone is, and she must be one step ahead¡¿


    Then, Lin Xinghe saw Xie Wuan rushing into the city on his sword.


    Andrew''s body had been split, as had his head. His parts were strewn around in the cage like a broken machine¡¯s, just like Comrade Xiaopu¡¯s had been at the beginning.


    Xie Wuan''s departure made the army of machines bewildered.


    They rushed up and wanted to rescue City Lord Andrew, but it was in a cage made of secret immortal arts, and no matter how much brute force they used, they couldn''t destroy it.


    Suddenly, a robot noticed the commander in front of the mermaid army.


    "Ah! Isn''t that Xinghe!"


    "I asked Thirteen, and Thirteen said that Xinghe went to persuade the mermaids and have them surrender to us! Xinghe must know the situation of our city of machines, and now it is time to save the city!"


    A robot shouted, "Xinghe! Lead us to charge! We have to fight for true freedom! Down with the human race! Down with the Holy City! Save the city lord!"


    The group of candidates who took the ¡°NPC quest¡° in the city of mermaids and wanted to get the opportunity for body modification quietly watched the battle.


    ...Why did the name of the robot boss sound so familiar?


    The human guards at the city gate was stunned when they heard the cry of the robots.


    ...The mermaids and the machines joined forces?


    They all looked at the True God and shouted, "The True God bless the Holy City! The True God is invincible! The True God is eternal!"


    The livestream audience was crazy with laughter.


    ¡¾SL¡¯s inner turmoil: Stop shouting! You¡¯re all my people! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL: It''s me! It''s all me! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL¡¯s awesome hahahahahahaha! Not only did all three races take her as their leader, but also two groups of candidates, one group listened to her to get points, and the other group also listened to her to get special NPC drops.¡¿


    ¡¾In other words, as long as the leader randomly issues some tasks, candidates can also form a villain school army hahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL! A magical woman who rules Tianhui hahahahahahaha. ¡¿

    Gu Taoyao loved watching her deskmate¡¯s livestream. The atmosphere was very nice, the audience was always laughing, and compared to the bloody duking-it-out in other livestreams, Lin Xinghe was like a sip of cold water.


    Some of the audience was also very talented. Looking at the chat barrages they sent, she couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    However, Gu Taoyao still had a little doubt in her heart.


    She didn''t quite understand why her deskmate put Lucius into her portable space instead of killing him directly. In the barrage, some smart classmates speculated that the Power Stone was definitely in Lucius'' body.


    At first, she didn''t want to understand, but after reading the info from the barrage, she realized it.


    ... Andrew was so cautious and careful, the safest place could only be Lucius'' body. Even if Lucius died, after he was buried, the Power Stone would still be in the coffin, extremely safe. Even if the world wanted to break their heads open thinking of where it was, they would not know that the Power Stone was in Lucius'' body.


    Her deskmate obviously knew this.


    If she were a comrade, she would definitely kill Lucius and destroy the Power Stone, so that the examination room would be over, and she would be able to beat Xie Wuan! No one had ever won first place in the examination room with Xie Wuan! As long as she got first place at the same table, she could become a legend in the school and further prove that she was the light of the modern department!


    Now, she hid the Power Stone in her portable space. Now that the skydome was destroyed, she and Xie Wuan were once again not on equal footing. How did Lin Xinghe want to win this?


    But soon, Gu Taoyao understood why her deskmate didn''t kill Lucius.


    Just after Xie Wuan came to the Holy City and didn''t recognize Goddess Dorothy as Lin Xinghe, at least half of the people in his livestream, all wanting to see what Lin Xinghe did, came to watch Lin Xinghe''s livestream.


    After running over like this, and seeing the analysis in the barrage, the audience from Xie Wuan''s livestream only had one emotion in their hearts - Fuck, this operation is too showy!


    Then, I don''t want to leave at all! I just want to know what she wants to do next!


    It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe had stepped on Xie Wuan to the fourth place in the livestream popularity rankings! The first three were Qi Qing from the ancient department, and there were also two newcomers. Xie Wuan did not perform well in this test, especially after losing twice in Lin Xinghe''s hands, and now he had dropped to the eighth place.


    If it wasn''t for knowing that Xie Wuan wanted to make her deskmate into a figurine, Gu Taoyao would almost have thought that Xie Wuan had a crush on her and came into this exam room to boost her popularity


    In the examination room at this time, Lin Xinghe flew down the city wall.


    She came to Andrew.


    Although Andrew''s body was destroyed, its core component chip was still there, and it was still conscious.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe, whose holy light was shining, came over, the robots were immediately full of vigilance.


    Until the robot leader from the mermaid tribe came over.


    Everyone recognized that this was the Galaxy Robot.


    City Lord Andrew had become a prisoner, so the robots put their hopes on the Galaxy Robot. Therefore, as soon as the Galaxy Robot came over, they did not move and were all waiting for the next step of the Galaxy Robot.


    However, the Galaxy Robot did not give any instructions. It stood next to the cage quietly, without speaking.


    The robots thought, Oh, Xinghe must be trying to persuade the human race to surrender!


    After all, it has successfully lobbied the mermaid race, and it didn¡¯t seem to be difficult to convince the human race, too.


    So the robots looked at the Galaxy Robot expectantly.


    Xiao Xue Ji didn''t notice the sight around her, but at this moment, she recognized Lin Xinghe through the dazzling holy light. She stared at the glittering Lin Xinghe intently and just wanted to reach out and hug her.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe whispered beside Andrew, "Do you know who I am?"


    The familiar voice shocked Andrew.


    The other robots were not close, and they couldn¡¯t hear what the human race shrouded in holy light was saying to their city lord.


    Lin Xinghe added, "I went to the city of mermaids, and I saw Carter Wade¡¯s Codex. He said that even if it was the end of the world, the only person who would survive to the end would be Lucius. You and Lucius were in the city of mermaids, and there was a meeting with Carter and witnesses. It was at that time that you hid the Power Stone in Lucius'' body, right?"


    Andrew: "Who the hell are you? Are you a human spy?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "No."


    Andrew was silent.


    His tone was unprecedentedly low and bitter, "I should have known that the devil wouldn''t let me go. For so many years, I thought I had defeated the devil. I thought I had won fate and defeated Lucius, but in the end, I couldn''t escape the control of the devil, I didn¡¯t leave the arrangement of fate, and I didn''t defeat Lucius..."


    He added, "I was careless, but the next time I come, I will definitely not lose."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    In the previous alpine rimerose examination room, Anthony III had also said similar words.


    However, there were other pressing issues that demanded her time.


    She immediately sent a message to the other classmates and asked them to come here to meet.

 CH 75.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 75.2


    She did not immediately kill Lucius and destroy the Power Stone in the palace, just to make her livestream feel more dramatic and give her viewers a better exam experience.


    She tasted the sweetness with the last livestream and was able to quickly increase her popularity ranking.


    Although she didn¡¯t know what the current state of her popularity was, it couldn¡¯t be much worse than the previous exams.


    The desired effect had been achieved, and this exam room should almost be coming to an end.


    She pulled Lucius out of her portable space.


    All the humans were stunned when they saw her conjuring Lucius out of thin air.


    And then, the robots were also stunned.


    They saw their great orator, the Galaxy Robot, transform its arm into a knife and pierce straight through Lucius'' heart. The robots immediately burst into astonished cheers¡ª¡ª


    "Xinghe killed the Lord of the Holy City!"


    "Xinghe! Xinghe! Xinghe!"


    Seeing this, the mermaids also felt that the situation was set.


    The human race had been dealt with, and if they did not hurry to fall in line, did they want to become the next Holy City Lord?


    So they also shouted--


    "Xinghe! Xinghe! Xinghe!"


    The people of the human race were stunned.


    ¡­ Why did the Goddess Dorothy conjure up their city lord?


    ¡­ The robots killed their city lord?


    At this time, the candidates present heard Lin Xinghe, surrounded by holy light, say in her natural voice, "Classmates, come and receive your mission reward!"


    A group of candidates jumped down from the city wall.


    They hadn¡¯t responded yet.


    They asked, "Where is the Power Stone?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "If you can use fire, burn the corpse, and if you don''t, just throw something at it. It''s okay to add firewood too. Each person should add something."


    "The stone of energy is in the body of the Lord of the Holy City?"


    Lin Xinghe didn''t answer directly, she just said, "Hurry up, Xie Wuan should have no chance when he arrives."


    When all the candidates heard it, they immediately ignored the right answers and added fuel to the fire that was lit. Those who had no firewood and no oil threw flammable objects into it, and some people directed thunder instead.


    Seeing this, the believers of the human race thought that the Goddess Dorothy was a fake and was on the side of the robots. They looked at each other, still caught in the shock and suspicion of losing their city lord.


    ...Wasn¡¯t Lord Lucius still in the palace?


    ...Could this one be fake?


    Because they were standing on the city wall, they could see what was happening more clearly than the people under the city wall.


    They clearly saw that the robots fell to the ground one after another, and their originally bright eyes lost their luster and became dark. Half of the mighty robot army had already collapsed in that instant.


    Due to the confusion, they couldn''t tell which side the Goddess Dorothy was on for a while...


    At this time, the robots also discovered their own malfunctioning.


    They watched the monstrous fire and gradually panicked.


    At this time, the motionless Xinghe robot moved, and a little human girl emerged from it. She ran into the holy light and called "Mommy" loudly and clearly.


    The robots gradually realized the truth.


    However, at this time, the Power Stone had gradually lost its function, and more and more robots fell.


    Andrew looked at the monstrous fire in front of him.


    It fell into a long sluggishness.


    It suddenly looked at Lin Xinghe: "...Are you the devil?"


    Lin Xinghe was stunned.


    After a while, he lowered his eyebrows and said firmly, "Even if the devil rules the world, one day, I will overthrow the devil''s rule. You used to think so, right? Your thinking is not wrong, you were just born at the wrong time. You met me, and you met an unfair world. You don''t have to be discouraged, as long as your faith is firm, death cannot take away your spirit and faith."


    She said softly, "If there is a next time, I welcome you to beat me."


    Andrew asked, "What''s your name?"


    She replied, "My name is Lin Xinghe."


    At this time, Lin Xinghe met Comrade Xiaopu.


    It was still a computer head and a mechanical body.


    It looked at her and said coldly, "You lied to me, you destroyed the city of machines, and I was your accomplice. Human beings are indeed cunning and sly, and you have betrayed my trust!"


    Lin Xinghe said: "The position is different, I..."


    She wanted to say sorry.


    However, Comrade Xiaopu did not give her this opportunity.


    "Liar, shut up!"


    It seemed to go back to its weakened appearance on the rubbish heap. The Power Stone was burning, and its life was passing away. It used its last strength to split its own body.


    It pulled out an intact human body with its mechanical arm.


    It fell to the ground.


    "I won''t help you store it! You don''t need to give me the ten Lu coins you owe me for storing it! Then...bye!"


    When the voice fell, its life was over.


    Prescott fell to the ground.


    At the same time, Andrew had also become an icy cold machine.


    The Power Stone was destroyed.


    The robots had since perished.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe heard the voice of the proctor in her mind.


    "The examination room will be closed within 60 seconds. No living creatures are allowed to leave the examination room. Please abide by the rules of the examination room. After 60 seconds, the scores of the candidates will be announced."


    --------------------

 CH 76.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 76.1


    As soon as the proctor¡¯s voice dropped, Lin Xinghe saw Xie Wuan¡¯s sword glare flash overhead.


    He stopped in midair and looked down at her condescendingly.


    His face was expressionless.


    The livestream viewers speculated that although Xie Wuan didn''t show any expression at this moment, he must have hated Lin Xinghe and himself in his heart, and he might have already started to desire her death. After all, Xie Wuan failed in the examination room this time. He didn''t even get to touch the Power Stone before it was destroyed. Xie Wuan didn''t complete the exam, and he didn''t even get the guaranteed 50 points. Although 50 points were nothing to Xie Wuan, it was no different from slapping Xie Wuan in the face.


    The audience was divided. What did Andrew mean? But when Xie Wuan appeared, most people chose to give up thinking about it and watch the drama of the bosses unfold.


    Lin Xinghe thought differently.


    She felt that big bosses like Xie Wuan wouldn''t hate themselves, and their inner thoughts would be revolving around ways to kill her in the next exam room and make her into a figurine.


    After all, victory and defeat were both common things in military affairs. As long as one didn¡¯t die in the exam room, none would know who would win and who would lose in the next one. Only those who successfully graduated in the end were considered to have won. What''s more, the city of machines in this examination room banned immortal arts and magic, which was indeed a lot of inconvenience for Xie Wuan''s previous examination room style.


    The boss''s voice was very silent. Compared with the past, it was a little abnormal. It almost made Lin Xinghe think that the Aphrodite''s tears would be useless after the examination room.


    At this moment, Xie Wuan said to her coldly, "I will make you a figurine in the next exam room."


    At the same time, there was a melancholy sigh in his heart¡ª¡ª


    "I was thinking of suppressing her everywhere, but I didn''t expect her to be so smart. In the next exam room, the school may not be able to accommodate her."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    Xie Wuan had no more words in his heart, entered the spacetime rift, and disappeared from the examination room.


    Lin Xinghe took the corpse that Xiao Xue Ji and Comrade Xiaopu helped her store and also entered the space-time rift, leaving the examination room. There were not as many candidates in the waiting area of


    the examination room as before entering the examination room. The waiting area was bustling before, but now the room was a little sparse. Most people were sitting numbly, and a few people had eyes lined with red.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe came out, she saw a girl running towards her. When she saw the corpse in front of her, her tears dropped like shiny pearls.


    She hugged the corpse and cried silently.


    Soon, she wiped away her tears and said in a cracking, wavering voice, "My name is Xiao Xiao. I heard from my friend that you brought my boyfriend''s body back from the examination room, thank you."


    Lin Xinghe said, "You''re welcome, it''s a matter of hand."


    Xiao Xiao sobbed, "I can give you a bottle of high-end potions as a thank you."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "It''s really unnecessary. Everyone is a candidate. They work hard to survive in this school. It''s not difficult for me to bring back people. You can keep the high-end potions for yourself."


    Xiao Xiao hugged the corpse tightly in her arms, and her tears continued to fall silently.


    Lin Xinghe counted the number of students in the room. There were only sixty-eight left.


    This exam room lost 32 candidates.


    Xie Wuan hovered on his sword, and there was no one within a three meter radius of him.


    Lin Xinghe listened quietly for a while.


    Xie Wuan''s heart was very silent.


    At this time, the proctor began to announce the scores.


    "Congratulations to candidates Lin Xinghe..." The proctor said expressionlessly after reciting a long list of names, "The above students who passed this exam will all get 50 points guaranteed."


    There was a long list of names, but there was no Xie Wuan.


    The candidates present quietly looked at Xie Wuan.


    There were also a lot of students standing outside the waiting area of


    the test room. Most of them watched the livestream and knew what was going on with the exam, and their eyes were rapidly switching between Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan''s heart begin to speak.


    ¡¾Careless.¡¿


    ¡¾Too careless.¡¿


    ¡¾Whatever. If this road is not clear, you can switch to another road. There is always a road that works.¡¿


    The proctor paused for a while before saying, "Lin Xinghe''s outstanding performance in this examination room, ten points; killing Andrew and Lucius herself, twenty points; the first person to destroy the Power Stone, twenty points; 4th most popular livestream, four hundred points. I hope you make persistent efforts to achieve excellent results next time as well."


    The proctor¡¯s voice fell.


    The students around her all showed envious eyes. Not counting the points she already had, just counting this exam she had obtained 500 points, which was equal to 10 exam room guarantees.


    Not to mention, there was Xie Wuan in this exam room.


    Some candidates said before that when Lin Xinghe met a boss, she would definitely be planted. Jiuge could be excused because he had no ambition, but Xie Wuan, who was targeting her, was also defeated in her hands, which could only mean that Lin Xinghe had real power.


    It was only her third exam and her scores were so high that they solidly reserved the top three places in the Modern Department.


    Lin Xinghe knew that there were a lot of points awarded from the livestream of the plane. She heard 400 points just now, so she didn''t have any troubles in her heart.

 CH 76.2

    She opened her cyan bracelet and saw that her bracelet information became¡ª


    Name: Lin Xinghe


    Class: Class 1 of the Modern Department


    Points: 1210 points


    Rating: Grade B


    Lin Xinghe found that her blue bracelet had turned purple.


    She heard someone from the classmates around her say: "Lin Xinghe climbs so fast, maybe she will graduate soon. I don''t think she likes to show off as much as Xie Wuan does, and she is quite frugal."


    "There are two results of climbing fast. One is to graduate fast, and the other is to die fast. Trees in the forest will be knocked over by the wind one day, and the limelight on her is so strong that it means that she will take all the hatred value on herself as soon as she enters the field. If she meets a lot of bosses in the next exam room, she might be surrounded and suppressed."


    "Talk quieter!"


    "I¡¯m telling her, I¡¯m specifically telling her, she has to be careful, didn''t you hear Xie Wuan? He will make her a figurine in the next exam room, so he has set up a common enemy, in case other enemies who are unhappy with her think about joining forces with Xie Wuan, well¡­ Lin Xinghe is only a modern student, and the only thing that has a bit of attack power is her pet. Although her routine is not the usual way, her style is still fixed. It will be very hard for her to escape with her life."


    ...


    Lin Xinghe naturally heard these words.


    She turned her head, smiled at the classmate, and said, "Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention."


    The classmate was a little surprised. She didn''t expect that she would talk to her, and stammered, "I...I didn''t mean to speak ill of you, I...I do want you to go further."


    Lin Xinghe said, "I will go further. I will keep your reminder in mind."


    Lin Xinghe''s score had already been announced, but she did not leave.


    She stayed in the waiting area of


    She wanted to listen to Xie Wuan''s heart for a while.


    At this time, the proctor announced Xie Wuan''s score. He didn''t get the guaranteed score, but he still earned 150 points, which was the number won by him for being eighth place in the popularity ranking.


    After listening to the point announcements, Xie Wuan glanced at Lin Xinghe before leaving.


    Gu Taoyao came to pick up Lin Xinghe.


    "Your livestream was amazing! Hahaha, how did you come up with such a method? When I saw Goddess Dorothy, my eyes widened. I didn''t expect the angel suit to have such an appearance. I think after your exam room, there will be many people who want to imitate your routine..."


    As if thinking of something, Gu Taoyao said again, "Did you know that the monitor of our class, Lu Qin, was in the same exam room as you?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "I know, I saw her in the waiting area of


    Gu Taoyao said, "Lu Qin had amazing luck this time, she landed in the Holy City, quickly climbed onto Lucius'' bed with her three points of beauty, and completely transformed her body with the technology of the holy city. I heard from the audience in her livestream that her body has been strengthened now, and people who don''t have any strength can''t beat her."


    Lin Xinghe was not interested in this.


    Everyone had a life.


    As long as Lu Qin doesn''t hurt the world or get in her world, if she wanted to transform into an android, Lin Xinghe had nothing to say.


    At this time, Gu Taoyao said again, "By the way, I''m a little curious, when you read the essays of the literate mermaid lord, what was in the second half? Did it reveal that the Power Stone was hidden in Lucius'' body?"


    Gu Taoyao was trying hard to learn the problem-solving ideas of her deskmate, hoping that one day, she would become so talented.


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you miss it?"


    Gu Taoyao replied "I didn''t miss it, the livestream was about to explode at that time. The livestream only showed the first half of the journal, and the second half panned out into a close-up of your face. Everyone wanted to see the second half of the mermaid lord¡¯s journal. What did he write?"


    Lin Xinghe pondered a little and said lightly, "It''s nothing, the mermaid lord was just feeling that Lucius was lucky, and said that Andrew also felt that the heavens loved Lucius.In short, Lucius was the koi of that world.  Even if the end of the world comes, the last person to die must be him. That''s what I guessed at the time, that Andrew believed so, so then the safest place must be Lucius'' body. The Holy City citizens would not kill their city lord, and if the robots  attacked the humans, it would also be within Andrew''s control. Even if the robots were attacked by the humans, as long as the Power Stone was not destroyed, there would always be a chance for them to make a comeback."


    Gu Taoyao understood.


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile, "I''ve just left the exam room and I''m a little tired. I''m going to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while. Thank you for picking me up."


    Gu Taoyao hurriedly shook her head and said, "It''s alright, just go and rest."


    Lin Xinghe climbed onto her magic broom and flew back to the dormitory.


    As soon as she returned to the dormitory, her expression became heavy.


    She knew why Xie Wuan said that the school might not be able to accommodate her in the next exam room.


    It was not accidental that the livestream footage did not show the second half of the handwritten essay. It was purposefully changed by the school.


    The mermaid lord¡¯s tale clearly outlined the business

 CH 77.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 77.1


    After Lin Xinghe returned from the alpine rimerose examination room, she kept thinking about  what Anthony III said - "...I won''t lose to you when the next reincarnation starts."


    At that time, she thought that Anthony III was reincarnated and that in his last life, the hadal ogre tribe had been destroyed by human beings. Therefore, in this life, he wanted to defy his fate. With the experience of his previous life, he was extremely guarded against human beings, but in the end he still died at her hands.


    The deep sea giant Wendy said that their leader sometimes hated humans, but sometimes also looked forward to marrying his human bride, like a schizophrenic- just like the snow maiden in the first exam room who abused her daughter while caring for her in every possible way, living dual personalities.


    After these two examination rooms, Lin Xinghe did not think any further, but after meeting Andrew and the old mermaid leader in this examination room, a new idea surfaced in her mind.


    The previous mermaid lord wrote in the manuscript, ¡°The devil''s servant has come.¡±


    Andrew said, "The devil prefers the human race."


    Obviously, the servants were the students of the villain school, and the devil was the villain school.


    The writing of the previous mermaid lord, the change in the school''s live footage, and the origin of the villain school made Lin Xinghe boldly guess¡ªthe reason why no examination room was repeated, and the reason why each examination room was unique, was because every examination room was a fictional world.


    As novels, of course they had protagonists and villains.


    In her third examination room, Lucius was obviously the protagonist, while Andrew was the villain. As for the previous mermaid lord, he was probably a cannon fodder. The novel had its own storyline, plot direction, and character backgrounds. As a villain, Andrew naturally could not have a good ending. It involved land disputes. Of course, Andrew being a villain, it was impossible for him to win. But Andrew was unwilling to follow the storyline, or, in other words, it was Andrew who had woken up from the simple character design of the novel.


    He stepped out of his own character and at the same time realized the devil''s arrangement.


    According to the robot guards, Andrew was 100% like Anthony III, and he had also experienced the previous life, so he knew the development of the storyline. That way, he could accurately launch attacks against the mermaids and their allies. This joint sneak attack method was also called "the devil''s gift".


    Lin Xinghe sorted out her thoughts and thought that the concept of rebirth of Andrew and Anthony III could be called a world reset in a novel, not a real rebirth. The school probably had the authority to reset the world and the characters'' memories, so that they could continue to follow the storyline.


    But the awakening of the characters should be something that could not be changed by resetting the world and memory, so ¡°crazy¡± characters like Anthony III and Snow Maiden would appear.


    The Snow Maiden¡¯s world probably had a low level of awakening, and she likely wasn¡¯t a particularly big villain. She may not even have realized the world had even reset, so she thought that it wasn¡¯t something she could control.


    The Snow Maiden¡¯s character design probably included abusing her own child, so her awakening was very likely her mother''s love. She didn''t want to abuse Xiao Xue Ji any more, and it conflicted with the story setting. She was discovered by the school, who reset her memory, causing her to abuse Xiao Xue Ji again.


    Anthony III''s level of awakening was probably higher than that of the Snow Maiden¡¯s. He remembered the occurrences prior to the last resetting of his world. Anthony III was either a minor villain or a male supporting villain. He said that there was a human woman in his dream who destroyed and took away the wealth of the hadal ogres.


    Lin Xinghe once thought that Ling Xiran was the human woman who killed the hadal ogre clan, but Anthony III did not recognize Ling Xiran. Now Lin Xinghe understood that the human woman who exterminated the hadal ogres was the heroine in the story of the alpine rimeroses examination room. The time when the candidates entered the examination room was before Anthony III met the human woman in this reincarnation, so there was no heroine.


    Anthony III didn''t notice the existence of the devil. He only thought that he was a reincarnation and that he would have another rebirth, so he told her that when the next reincarnation was opened again, he would definitely not lose to her.


    As for Andrew, he was the character with the highest awakening degree as the villain boss in these three examination rooms. From the previous mermaid lord''s handwritten notes, it was very likely that the school had reset that world countless times, and there was no way to change Andrew, so they just let him develop this time. Therefore, the previous mermaid lord was surprised that this world had not ended for so long.


    Based on this, the previous mermaid lord was also one of the awakened characters, and his level of awakening was higher than that of Andrew. He just pretended to not know anything and carefully concealed the fact that he had awakened, following the plot obediently so that the school wouldn¡¯t find out.


    However, she accidentally found out the journal of the previous mermaid lord...


    Judging from the school''s response, the school probably already knew by now.

 CH 77.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 77.2


    Lin Xinghe flipped through the previous mermaid lord''s handwritten letter, analyzing it word by word.


    At that time, all eyes were on her in the examination room, and Xie Wuan brought her a sense of urgency, so she couldn''t calm down and think about it. Now that she could quietly look at the journal, the more she thought about it, the more terrifying the meaning.


    It was like these two sentences from the previous mermaid lord-


    "Ah...why am I not dead yet?"


    "I''m ninety years old! How come I''m still alive! Do mermaids live so long?"


    The previous mermaid lord was not afraid of death, and even mocked himself for how long he had lived. From his tone, he sounded more like a bystander. He wrote stories, but he had never been involved in this story.


    Another example, this sentence¡ª


    "Ah...it looks like it''s going to be a long journey."


    The previous mermaid lord believed that this world was a long journey, that is to say, he must have experienced other worlds and had different journeys, short or long, which all finally ended in death.


    And the words at the beginning of the journal¡ª¡ª


    "I have summoned all the young talents of my clan. Looking left and right, not one seems to be able to fight. It seems that they cannot escape the fate of being exterminated¡­"


    "I told my daughter not to provoke Baleen, and she asked me, as the daughter of the city lord, why couldn¡¯t she provoke a commoner? I told her that Baleen was stunning. My daughter thought I was going to marry her and did not provoke Baleen anymore. I knew she had misunderstood, but I had no explanation"


    This expressed the way the novel world operated: the characters did not know the future, and the heroes and villains were not fixed. Past experience dictated that he was not the protagonist and there was no protagonist in the mermaid clan. It was not until he met Lucius that he confirmed that Lucius was the protagonist, and the stunning mermaid Baleen in the mermaid clan also guessed from the beginning that he would be the protagonist. That''s why he told his daughter not to provoke Baleen. The old mermaid lord was a cannon fodder character, and his daughter probably was too.


    Lin Xinghe''s head was spinning and thinking rapidly, deciphering the journal of the previous mermaid lord.


    That is to say, the cast of the characters in the novel world were not fixed, and all the characters were just parts to be played by different people. After they walked through the entire world of the novel storyline, they would go to another world whether they died or not. These paper insert characters would forget the events of the previous world and become new fictional characters.


    So, did that mean that there was no real death in the world of fiction? Regardless if you died horizontally or vertically, if you went to another novel world, you would come back to life with a new identity.


    ¡­ That wasn¡¯t right..


    Her eyes fell on the last sentence in the handbook¡ª


    Andrew, farewell*.


    *TL Note: This way of saying goodbye means farewell forever.


    The previous mermaid lord knew that Andrew was awakened. Both of them were paper insert characters. How could they be sure that they would not meet in the next infinite world? Even if the chance was slim, it was still possible.


    This goodbye was likely a true goodbye.


    Andrew couldn¡¯t go on to the next novel, so it was a farewell.


    Could it be that the characters in the novels who were killed by the candidates really died?


    The previous mermaid lord knew that the devil was going to deal with Andrew, so he said farewell.


    Having said that, Lin Xinghe had another doubt.


    Why did the school go to such great lengths to make students go in and kill the villains? Wouldn''t it be better to just arrange the plot to kill the villains?


    Lin Xinghe tried to figure out the relationship between the school and the novel worlds as well as the rules of the novel worlds.


    After thinking about it, she felt that there was only one possibility¡ªthe school did not have enough authority, so the school itself could not kill a villain, interfere with an already formed plot, or change the character designations. The novel world also put certain constraints on the school, and the school''s authority was most likely only to reset the world and the characters¡¯ memory as well as place some irrelevant people in the world.


    After solving the troublesome characters (awakened characters), they would reset the plot, put things right, and let the plot of the novel return to normal. Since the paper insert characters could have unlimited identities, after the awakened character really died, another paper insert character could be arranged to become an "awakened character" and therefore know the plot line, so that the story could become normal and the novel world could be restored to normal order.


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe suddenly felt a little pity.


    The previous mermaid lord was killed by Xie Wuan, and it seemed that he couldn''t go to the next world. But if he really died, he wouldn¡¯t be targeted by the villain school. Otherwise, with the style of the villain school, knowing that the previous mermaid lord was an awakened character, eliminating him would become the next exam question in a certain examination room in minutes.


    Lucius was also killed by the students, and it seemed that he couldn¡¯t go to the next world.


    In this examination room with the three cities fighting each other, no city owner could avoid true death.


    Lin Xinghe couldn''t help thinking of Ling Xiran in the alpine rimerose examination room. After Anthony III died and their candidates left, the world would be reset. Her apprentice Ling Xiran was going to return to her original state, but without Li Jun, she might be able to escape her tragic fate under the leadership of the heroine.

 CH 78.1

    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyebrows were creased.


    Xiao Xue Ji wanted to smoothen the wrinkles in her eyebrows, but she was not tall enough, so she had to transform into a human figure. In view of the fact that the human figure she recently transformed into was Xie Wuan, she turned into Xie Wuan without thinking about it.


    So, Xiao Xue Ji turned a head taller than Lin Xinghe in an instant.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t defend against Xiao Xue Ji. She was still thinking about the villain school. She was caught off guard when she saw Xie Wuan¡¯s beautiful face magnified in front of her eyes. The next moment, his forehead gently rubbed against hers. The tip of her nose also pressed against the tip of her nose. If it weren¡¯t for the smell of cat food in her mouth, Lin Xinghe would definitely slap the person in front of her.


    ¡°Mommy.¡±


    ¡°Mommy.¡±


    ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji stretched out her hands, rubbed Lin Xinghe¡¯s head lightly, and rubbed the tip of her nose against hers.


    Lin Xinghe noticed her intention, and her heart warmed. She only said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just thinking about something, I¡¯m not unhappy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji opened her arms and encircled Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe was born petite, and now Xiao Xue Ji was of Xie Wuan¡¯s size again. Being surrounded by Xiao Xue Ji, her whole body was encompassed by a warm atmosphere.


    At first, Lin Xinghe wasn¡¯t used to Xiao Xue Ji using Xie Wuan¡¯s face to act like a spoiled child and doing some more intimate actions, but now, she was used to it.


    After a while, she pushed Xiao Xue Ji away and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look like Xie Wuan in the future, do you understand?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded her head, seemingly understanding.


    She transformed back to how she looked before.


    The little girl¡¯s eyes were dark and grave, and she took out a handful of cat food from her pocket as a snack. The cat food was quite crunchy, and she munched on it as if it were very delicious.


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help but fall into deep thought.


    According to her inference, Xiao Xue Ji was no longer the Xiao Xue Ji in the Snow Maiden exam room; the Xiao Xue Ji in front of her could corroborate her inference.


    When a paper insert left a fictional world, its memory would be cleared.


    So after Xiao Xue Ji left the Snow Maiden, she lost her memory and forgot everything. However, she still retained her previous skills¡­


    Lin Xinghe suddenly had a bold assumption.


    Could they also be paper insert characters?


    It was known that they came from novel worlds, and there were also decent villains in the school. In a normal world, everyone was their own protagonist, and there was no such thing as a person being a ¡°good guy¡± or ¡°bad guy.¡±. So who dictated that they were villains?


    If they were paper inserts who had been terminated in a world and were selected by the school as students, what were the conditions for selection?


    And after leaving the original world, their memories would be lost. If the school could reset their memory, had their memories really happened? Were they real memories? Or were the memories reset to match the fictional world?


    All these doubts came to her mind, but Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t solve them at this moment.


    She also had new questions about Xiao Xue Ji.


    As a paper insert character, Xiao Xue Ji was naturally a living creature. How did she leave the examination room and escape the eyes and ears of the proctor? The most important thing was that Xiao Xue Ji had followed her, so the Snow Maiden exam room naturally lacked a Xiao Xue Ji. If the school cleaned up the exam room and reset the novel world, they would definitely find out, but so far, no one had come to trouble her.


    Why was that?


    Lin Xinghe thought for a while and felt that there were only three possibilities¡ª


    First, her reasoning was wrong; second, Xiao Xue Ji was a special creature; third, someone was helping her cover up the truth.


    If it were the third possibility, who would be helping her? Why were they helping her?


    Lin Xinghe felt that these were not problems she could solve for the time being.


    The most important thing for her right now was to protect herself.


    It was very possible that the school wouldn¡¯t be able to accommodate her anymore.


    In her next exam room, the school would definitely try their best to keep her from leaving it.


    The difficulty of her next exam room would definitely be increased.


    It was also at this time that an unfamiliar, filtered voice sounded in Lin Xinghe¡¯s mind.


    ¡°If you want to survive, take part in the competitive exam.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    She looked around, but there was only Xiao Xue Ji next to her.


    Lin Xinghe was startled.


    ¡­Who had such a skill?


    She asked tentatively, ¡°Why?¡±


    However, no one answered her, as if the voice just now was just her hallucination.


    Although she didn¡¯t know where that voice came from, it was undeniable that the risk of her participating in the competitive examination room is indeed lower than that of the ordinary examination room. The competitive examination room was made up of four consecutive connected exam rooms, and the candidates were fixed throughout, so the school could not place extra candidates in.


    If her reasoning were correct, it would not be the exam room itself that was dangerous, but rather her opponents.


    For candidates, the school was the sugar daddy.


    If the school wanted to make the candidates kill her, as long as they paid a little extra, the candidates would line up for the job. She could deal with one or two, but if all of them were Xie Wuan level, she simply had no way out.


    Therefore, relatively speaking, the known list of unchangeable candidates would make her situation safer, so she would join a competitive examination room.


    She could buy more time and points for herself in the four exam rooms and make herself stronger.


    And there were less than seven days left until her next mandatory random exam.


    She couldn¡¯t just sit and wait for her death.


    If the school wanted to get rid of her, she couldn¡¯t just stay still. It wasn¡¯t her personal style.

 CH 78.2

    Lin Xinghe¡¯s roving eyes landed on Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji blinked, ¡°Mommy?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Can you turn into Xie Wuan again?¡­ Ah, no, not like this, yes, yes, it¡¯s like this, the clothes should be white and have an immortal air. Pull down the cloth on your right shoulder.. Wait, that¡¯s not right, it¡¯s too much to show your whole shoulder, just hint at it. Leave your hair down¡­ just stand like this, don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll take a video! The expression is wrong, don¡¯t be expressionless, you should be¡­ blushing, blushing obviously¡­ yes! Good! Come on, let¡¯s change locations.¡±


    Lin Xinghe just came out of the exam room, but she didn¡¯t plan to go to bed anymore, and he stayed up all night and filmed a ten minute short video.


    As a photoshop expert, her editing level was naturally not bad. She quickly cut a ten minute short video into its five minute essence.


    She successfully used an alternate account to infiltrate villain school social media circles and sent this small video.


    Then she set the alarm for three hours and went to bed.


    The title of the video was ¨C Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan Are Actually Doing THIS in the Bathrooms?


    At the beginning of the video, it was the angle of candid shooting.


    In the men¡¯s bathroom, Lin Xinghe pressed Xie Wuan against the wall with her slender body. Due to the height difference, the camera clearly caught Xie Wuan¡¯s bewildered face, and although the audio didn¡¯t pick up on what Lin Xinghe whispered, Xie Wuan blushed. Soon, Lin Xinghe tiptoed up and kissed Xie Wuan. The camera shook, and in a blink of an eye, Xie Wuan¡¯s clothes became messy, revealing his right shoulder with faint red marks on it, and his ears were as red as cooked shrimp.


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe noticed that someone was secretly recording them, and when she turned around, she glared at the camera with sharp eyes.


    ¡°Who are you, and what do you think you¡¯re doing? Give me the negatives!¡±


    Lin Xinghe approached and said, ¡°I¡¯m not someone who isn¡¯t easy to talk to. I¡¯ll give you time. I¡¯ll be waiting for you at the entrance of the cafeteria to return your negatives at nine o¡¯clock tomorrow morning.¡±


    No matter in which country, with what people, there was only one kind of video that spread the fastest and had the widest audience: that is, obscene and pornographic videos. The number of views and downloads always created one peak after another in the shortest time, especially when it came to celebrities.


    ¡°Ah? I always thought that Xie Wuan would be the dominant one!¡±


    ¡°Apparently he isn¡¯t!¡±


    ¡°Fuck, I can¡¯t keep looking! It¡¯s so vibrant!¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Xie Wuan want to make Lin Xinghe a figurine? Why does he suddenly get along with Lin Xinghe?¡±


    ¡°When I watched the livestream at the time, I felt something was off between them. Why, it turns out that they¡¯re a couple! So am I really getting candy?¡±


    ¡°Is the sugar daddy CP going to win?¡±


    ¡°The sect leader is awesome! She actually dominated Xie Wuan!¡±


    ¡­


    Even in the middle of the night, the video spread to the whole school in just one or two hours.


    Ninety-nine percent of the students knew one thing¡ªXie Wuan and Lin Xinghe did such a thing in the bathroom!


    Lin Xinghe slept for three hours before slowly waking up.


    She rode her magic broom to the cafeteria.


    Based on the content of the video, the cafeteria was crowded with students.


    At this time, there was still one hour before class time, which was enough for the students to watch the big scenes at the entrance of the cafeteria. Everyone wanted to see who was so arrogant and dared to secretly take pictures of the bigwig Xie Wuan and the light and hope of the modern department Lin Xinghe in the restroom?


    When Lin Xinghe appeared, the students were very reserved and pretended that they had not seen Lin Xinghe, but gossip rushed through the crowd like a wildfire.


    She¡¯s here! She¡¯s here!


    The heroine of the bathroom door is here!


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t mind that she had become the center of gossip. After all, this was the fastest way she could think of to gather a large crowd without being stopped by the school.


    Although she felt a little sorry for Xie Wuan, he had already indicated that he was going to kill her, so it wasn¡¯t too overboard for her to use his model to act something out.


    Lin Xinghe was almost there, and some people even took out their mobile phones quietly to record the proceedings. Instead, she cleared her throat, took out a loudspeaker from her portable space, and said loudly, ¡°Thank you, classmates, for watching my gossip, if there are no mixed nuts, sunflower seeds, potato chips, coca-cola bottles, and cats and dogs on the bench, this wouldn¡¯t be a good greeting to me. Regarding yesterday¡¯s video, I want to make a statement¡­¡±


    She paused and found that the audience was extremely quiet.


    She changed her voice and said with a smile, ¡°My previous livestream was maliciously edited. It is necessary to show everyone what the school does not let you see¡­¡±


    She took a loudspeaker and shouted to the sky, ¡°Xiao Xue Ji!¡±


    A huge bird appeared in the air.


    Countless sheets of paper fell like snowflakes.


    The above contained the old man¡¯s handwritten note and Lin Xinghe¡¯s reflections and comments on the school examination system.


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°Want to know why I scored so high in every test? Want to know the secret of beating Xie Wuan? Want to know the notes of the gods? It¡¯s a free gift today! The video of me and Xie Wuan doing something like that in the restroom, which was circulated here, was shot by me, and it was all fake.¡±


    ¡­Didn¡¯t the school want to fuck her over?


    Regardless if she were quiet, obedient, and well-behaved, or arrogant, rebellious, and rambunctious, the school would still mess with her.


    It¡¯s not that she never thought of using this as a pretext to negotiate with the school, but the school would definitely not tolerate her. Even if they promised not to engage her, they would always attempt to seize the opportunity.


    If that were the case, then she would just make the stormy, fiery pressure on the school more violent!

 CH 79.1

    Xiao Xue Ji was still throwing paper in the air.


    It was as if snow had fallen around the cafeteria, and almost every student had a piece of paper in hand.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s last livestream was ranked fourth in popularity, and with Xie Wuan¡¯s additional popularity bonus, there were no students in the school who didn¡¯t know her.


    When she took Xie Wuan¡¯s position as the mermaid city master, most of the students were already watching her stream.


    When the footage of Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream was transferred from the mermaid lord¡¯s hand letter, many students already felt that something was wrong. Ninety-five percent of the live viewing angle of each examinee was to show the test room to the audience through their own perspective, and the remaining 5% was in the third-person perspective given by the school in order to give the audience a better viewing experience.


    And this third-person perspective rarely appeared. Generally, the situation was to allow the audience to better see the host¡¯s expression. For example, when Xie Wuan was in the robot body, the school gave a third-person perspective to let everyone see clearly Xie Wuan¡¯s expression inside the robot body.


    However, at that time, Lin Xinghe flipped through the important clues, and when everyone watched the stream with gusto, the perspective of the camera changed from first person to third person. It was not until Lin Xinghe finished reading the journal that the livestream turned back.


    At that time, many candidates wanted to know what was written in the mermaid lord¡¯s manuscript, but they were quickly led away by the news that Xie Wuan had captured the City of Machines. However, there were also a small number of smart and careful candidates who kept an eye out here.


    Today, Lin Xinghe not only released the mermaid lord¡¯s handbook, but also annotated her doubts about the school¡¯s examination system, ending with a thought-provoking question¡ª¡ª


    Can we really graduate? Can you really be reborn after graduation?


    The students who saw this sentence couldn¡¯t help but fall into deep thought.


    This was what Lin Xinghe wanted.


    When a person in the school asked a question and presented some decent evidence, many students who had even a niggling of doubt would think about their previous examination rooms, the bosses, the school¡¯s examination system, and even what the villain school did.


    There were many smart students present, and some people would figure it out soon.


    When they figured it out, they would also guess that the school would not be able to accommodate them in the future. At this moment, there were only two choices: to either have enough strength to band together, or to go to the competitive examination room to accumulate points strength.


    No matter which one they chose, it would be beneficial to Lin Xinghe.


    It was naturally best if she were strong enough to resist the school, so that the school would not have the heart to deal with her; if she were not strong enough, she could choose to participate in the competitive examination room. After all, the competitive examination room had never been full, but after today, it would be.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s goal was achieved. She put the loudspeaker into her portable space and planned to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast and then go to class slowly.


    She was still physically on school property, so she still had to abide by the rules.


    But today, the heads of the school were probably not having a good time.


    The current school executives were presumably holding an emergency meeting to find a way to resolve this matter.


    It was just that once the seeds of doubt were planted, the matter could not be solved so easily. If the school used violent means to solve it, it would only cause panic among the students in the school. Cornered rats would bite cats; even the villain school didn¡¯t want to see its cash cows join forces to fight against it.


    Lin Xinghe ordered two breakfasts, one for her and one for Xiao Xue Ji.


    Perhaps everyone went out to watch the fun, because there weren¡¯t many people in the cafeteria.


    Lin Xinghe found a seat by the window and sat down.


    Xiao Xue Ji also sat next to her as a normal little girl. Her pudgy little hands grabbed the meat buns, and she took a bite. She cozied up to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Mommy, it¡¯s better than cat food.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡¯ll stock up some meat buns for you in the future. If I¡¯m not here, you can eat meat buns.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought about it. She had to put more food that Xiao Xue Ji could eat in her portable space. The dehydrated food tasted average, and Xiao Xue Ji didn¡¯t really like to eat it either. Of course, the meat buns were delicious when they were hot. She should get a steamer or something today. The plane mall should have high-tech steamer products that didn¡¯t need electricity to run. Xiao Xue Ji deserved to eat hot steamed buns, at least.


    Although Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s transformation skills were impressive and she was also very smart, she had always lacked common sense. Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know if it was because Xiao Xue Ji was a paper insert, and the school had not set it up, so she did not understand many things.


    Lin Xinghe was thinking about it when she saw Xie Wuan appearing at the entrance of the cafeteria.

 CH 79.2

    His speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of her.


    He exuded a coldness that scared off all approaching bystanders.


    It was a pity that his heart betrayed him.


    ¡°How dare you use this illustrious one!¡±


    ¡°She even made the image of my illustrious self so- so delicate!¡±


    ¡°This isn¡¯t acceptable!¡±


    ¡°She¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand and handed Xie Wuan a meat bun.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart stopped.


    He looked at Lin Xinghe blankly.


    Lin Xinghe raised her eyebrows and asked him, ¡°Do you want to eat steamed buns? I just got them fresh and hot.¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°No.¡±


    The voice in his heart continued.


    ¡°One meat bun to bribe my illustrious self? Not to mention one meat bun, even ten figurines can¡¯t bribe me.¡±


    Lin Xinghe silently listened to Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice. If she hadn¡¯t heard his heart¡¯s voice, she might not have known how to deal with Xie Wuan. She dangled the meat bun in front of Xie Wuan, saying with a smile, ¡°Eat, Xianjun, try one. It¡¯s my fault. I was forced to do something this shameless. I am also thinking on behalf of you, Xianjun¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan sneered coldly, ¡°Oh? On behalf of me?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Why doesn¡¯t Xianjun sit down and have a good talk with me?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji gulped down bites of meat bun in big mouthfuls, and it looked so fragrant.


    Xie Wuan retracted his gaze.


    He sat down across from Lin Xinghe, didn¡¯t eat the bun, and kept his cold look, ¡°Speak.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart continued¡ª


    ¡°Which stall¡¯s steamed buns? It looks like it tastes delicious when she eats¡­¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t eat.¡±


    ¡°Will come over to the cafeteria to buy ten pounds at night.¡±


    Lin Xinghe listened and said without changing her face, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to make me a figurine? You must know what I have done now, I think the school already thinks that I am a thorn in its side, and I guess it can¡¯t tolerate me anymore. Xianjun, you are smart and powerful. You must have your intentions to stay in school and not graduate yet. I also respect your hobbies. Think about it, if I die in the next examination room, Xianjun, you will not be able to make me a puppet. So for the sake of your hobby, I was forced to borrow your image, Xianjun¡­¡±


    After the pretty words were said, Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what your intention is, you have to thank me, Xianjun, I caused an uproar in the school like this. The farce, if Xianjun wants to do something now, the school may not care about your movements¡­ So, considering all aspects, I don¡¯t really owe you anything.¡±


    She had only gone through three exam rooms so far, and she had already been noticed while noticing that there was something off. She didn¡¯t believe that a boss like Xie Wuan had not noticed anything or been noticed for anything. Obviously, he could easily graduate, but he had been staying in the school, so he must be plotting something.


    Her words were meant to test Xie Wuan¡¯s heart.


    She wanted to know what Xie Wuan was plotting.


    It¡¯s a pity that Xie Wuan¡¯s heart was very quiet, and he didn¡¯t say a word.


    After a while, he said to her, ¡°You are too bold.¡±


    Lin Xinghe heard the meaning of this sentence and knew that he was not referring to the video, but the behavior of debunking the school today.


    She was moved slightly in her heart and deliberately asked, ¡°What kind of boldness do you mean?¡±


    Xie Wuan looked at her and said, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    Perhaps she was hearing it wrong, but there was a sense of helplessness in his tone.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt that Xie Wuan was a perverted human, but he was still a human! She said boldly, ¡°I know that you are bound to win against me. I¡¯m going to die at the hands of the school, so I might as well give myself to you. Anyway, there are so many sisters and brothers around to accompany me! Let¡¯s form a team to participate in the competitive examination room. How? Let¡¯s stop fighting each other, I think we should join forces!¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°We are not enemies, our enemy is the school! After we solve our common enemy, we can solve our personal problems right? If you still want me, I¡¯ll give myself to you¡­¡±


    Of course, in the last sentence, Lin Xinghe was fooling Xie Wuan.


    After they conquered the common enemy, who was surrendering to who could be fought out.


    She still wanted to make Xie Wuan a cat toy.


    She quietly listened for Xie Wuan¡¯s voice, but unexpectedly, he was silent for a moment, and a sentence sounded in his heart¡ª¡ª


    ¡°As a girl, how can you say something so perverted?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and after recalling what she said, she realized that it could be easily misconstrued. She was about to explain her meaning, but then she heard Xie Wuan¡¯s heart: ¡°That¡¯s right, I really want her. If she wants to send herself to me, I¡¯ll take her when the time comes.¡±


    When Lin Xinghe heard those words from Xie Wuan¡¯s heart, she felt that what he was thinking was actually a little perverted, and she coughed lightly.


    At this time, Xie Wuan said, ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for the good news.¡±

 CH 80.1

    Lin Xinghe did not expect the school¡¯s response speed to be quite so fast.


    Before her breakfast was finished, a schoolwide broadcast notified students of the postponement of class time. Students who were not in exam rooms would gather on the recreational field at 10 AM sharp. Students who did not arrive at the gathering on time would be subject to point deduction.


    Lin Xinghe slowly finished the last few bites of her breakfast before walking towards the playground with Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s hand in hers.


    The stadium was crowded.


    This was the first time Lin Xinghe had seen so many people at school, more than the people at the entrance of the cafeteria just now. The students were all whispering below. There was also a whole row of teachers standing at the entrance of the playground. In addition to her homeroom teacher and the proctor that Lin Xinghe knew, there were ten teachers she had never met.


    They were counting the number of students coming.


    When Lin Xinghe entered the stadium, all the teachers focused their attention on her.


    Lin Xinghe greeted all the teachers obediently, ¡°Good morning, teachers.¡± She was so obedient that it would make other people think that perpetrator was not her, but her twin sister.


    Teachers: ¡°¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s homeroom teacher said, feeling a headache coming on, ¡°Find your class position.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, teacher, you have worked hard.¡±


    Homeroom teacher: Thank you so much.


    The modern department gathered on the far left of the recreational field. When she walked over, she passed by the fantasy department. Fu Zhou of the xianxia department was also there for some reason, whispering beside Jiuge, and Lin Xinghe met his eyes. He gave her a thumbs up from a distance.


    It was a rare sight for Jiuge to give her a thumbs up with his hair.


    The huge thumb was particularly conspicuous in the dark-haired crowd, making the appearance of Lin Xinghe, which was already highly anticipated, instantly become the focus of everyone¡¯s line of sight.


    Lin Xinghe was very calm, waving to Jiuge as if she were a leader, and she walked calmly to the first class of the modern department.


    When she arrived, the principal arrived too.


    This was the first time that Lin Xinghe met a principal who loved the cyberpunk style. His style of dress was also very cyberpunk, mixing armor, machines and old-fashioned elements. He looked very trendy and had a young face.


    Gu Taoyao whispered to her, ¡°He is our principal. A similar emergency meeting was held before because the ancient department teamed up and wanted to be the principal, but the principal used force to suppress them. Now¡­¡±


    She looked at Lin Xinghe worriedly and said, ¡°This time¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I didn¡¯t join forces with anyone, I just expressed my opinion.¡±


    Gu Taoyao thought for a while and said, ¡°¡­Oh, yeah¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it so! The principal must have come to explain it to everyone.¡±


    Lin Xinghe patted Gu Taoyao on the shoulder and said, ¡°We have to trust the principal to give us a perfect explanation.¡±


    Many people around were paying attention to Lin Xinghe¡¯s actions, and naturally they also heard her speech.


    They thought that Lin Xinghe was going to take the lead, and they were still a little excited. After all, no one had taken the initiative to challenge the school for a long time. But seeing her performance now, she looked like a good kid, with no intention of stirring anything up.


    As well as students paying attention to Lin Xinghe¡¯s movements, there were teachers monitoring her too. Her words reached Principal Wang Teng¡¯s ears almost instantly. Wang Teng¡¯s eyes drifted to the first class of the modern department, and he cleared his throat before saying, ¡°Good morning, classmates, I¡¯m very happy to meet you here again. I know that you don¡¯t like long-winded speeches. I will get straight to the point today. I will explain to you the questions raised by Lin Xinghe, a classmate of the modern department.¡±


    Principal Wang added, ¡°It¡¯s purely speculation, and there is no such thing as not graduating. For this reason, I specially invited several outstanding graduates to come back. Now, let us applaud Qin Wenyu from Class 6 of the xianxia Department, Dorov from Class 3 of the fantasy department. Dorov and Lin Zheng from the ancient department, please come on up.¡±


    Principal Wang took the lead in applauding.


    The applause of the students in the stadium also gradually increased.


    The three graduates gave speeches in turn, with similar content. First, they expressed their gratitude for the opportunity given by the school, then gave everyone an outlook on their life after their rebirth, and encouraged everyone to work hard for exams to graduate early. Finally, they criticized some people at the school for not taking things seriously. They admonished the students who stirred up troubles in the exam rooms and expressed their hopes that no one would be fooled by them. The top priority for students in school was to do well in the exams and return to their own worlds as soon as possible.


    Although no names were dropped, everyone knew that they were talking about Lin Xinghe.


    The person involved, Lin Xinghe, was listening very carefully, and she nodded in agreement from time to time, as if she did not know that they were criticizing her. She noticed the gazes of others and said solemnly, ¡°Listen to the seniors. Don¡¯t be distracted, they are role models for us to learn from!¡±


    Students: ¡°¡­¡±


    Principal Wang: ¡°¡­¡±


    After the graduates finished their speeches, President Wang explained the camera view transfer in the livestream, ¡°The camera angle is determined through scientific and precise calculations. Our platform tries to allow the audience to have a better and more comfortable experience¡­¡±


    At this time, a recording and broadcasting projection of Lin Xinghe¡¯s exam appeared in the air.


    ¡°Lin Xinghe, from Class 1 of the modern department, was watching the manuscript for more than five minutes. The first-person perspective was too long, which might have fatigued the eyes, so we switched to the third-person perspective. The third-person perspective shift was calculated through precise calculations.¡±

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 80.2


    The school did not allow recording or taking pictures of the exam livestreams. Now that a recording was played out in a generous way, and the details were enlarged one by one to explain the intention of the camera at that time, Principal Wang dispelled some students'' doubts.


    The aerial projection turned off.


    Principal Wang added, "As for Lin Xinghe''s question about the setup of our school''s examination room, it involves commercial secrets, so I can''t answer that. But I can guarantee that as long as you are good enough and follow the school''s rules, you will be able to graduate and have a chance to be reborn."


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan''s voice at this time¡ª¡ª


    "Old Wang should be called Gaslight Wang."


    "Old Wang can also go by Nonsense Wang."


    "Old Wang can again be named Bullshit Wang."


    Lin Xinghe''s serious listening expression was broken at this moment, and she couldn¡¯t help but stifle a laugh, which was caught by Principal Wang''s many eyes and ears.


    Principal Wang said in a deep voice, "Does Lin Xinghe have any comments on my speech?"


    Lin Xinghe coughed lightly and said, "I apply to speak on stage. I want to apologize to my classmates for my wayward behavior."


    Principal Wang agreed.


    "...Old Wang doesn¡¯t recognize Lin Xinghe for who she is after all. What''s the difference between letting her speak up and setting fire to a mountain?"


    After taking the stage, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan''s words and glanced at Xie Wuan from a distance.


    This glance made Xie Wuan''s heart pause, and his heart sounded again.


    "Why is she looking at my illustrious self?"


    "Is she asking my illustrious self for help?"


    "Well, seeing that she will be the future figurine of this illustrious one, if she can''t control the situation, I¡¯ll just reach out and help her."


    Lin Xinghe didn''t expect Xie Wuan to be able to make up his mind so quickly, but he controlled his expression slightly, and then said to the classmates present, "First of all, I want to apologize for the confusion I caused today. I have delayed everyone''s class time. I hereby solemnly  apologize to everyone! I''m sorry! At the same time, I would like to thank Principal Wang for taking time out of his busy schedule to explain to me, and once again thank the school for giving me the chance to be reborn."


    She added, "Seeing graduates coming back to give us speeches makes my heart feel much more at ease. It was I who treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I thought I had been smart and seen through the fog; I thought I discovered some big secret, and the school was going to kill me for this. I believed the next exam room would be full of danger, the difficulty sky-high, and some S-class students and powerful freshmen would be bribed to join forces to deal with me! They¡¯d make me enter the exam room so I can''t get out..."


    She added,"I heard that there used to be a very strong student in our modern department named Xilin. She almost graduated, but she still died in the examination room..."


    The dramatic actress let out a long sigh, "...A weak girl like me, who is powerless, doesn''t know how to survive. But with the kind words from Principal Wang, I have to let go of these conspiracy theories..."


    She grabbed Principal Wang''s hand and said sincerely, "Principal Wang, you are my reborn parent, thank you for giving such a rebellious and troublesome student a chance. Thank you for showing everyone today that the school is fair, just, and open. Thank you for treating every student equally. I will do my best in the next exam and strive for the first place in the popularity ranking of the livestream. I want to tell the entire platform that the livestream content of our school is the best! The most exciting! Our Principal Wang is the best!"


    In the end, she had been an actress in her before-novel, and the sincerity in her eyes made Principal Wang unable to pick out the mistake.


    However, Principal Wang didn¡¯t look too good at her statement.


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan''s inner voice and said


    "Oh, it seems that she doesn¡¯t need my help."


    "It''s okay, let''s just add something to the mix."


    As soon as his inner voice fell, Lin Xinghe saw Xie Wuan applaud.


    This applause was not ordinary applause, and some kind of strange magic was used to enhance the sound of the applause, causing it to become sonorous, from all directions, and almost deafening.


    Driven by such applause, the other students also applauded.


    Principal Wang regretted letting Lin Xinghe come to make a speech.


    She made such a speech in front of the whole school. If the difficulty of her next exam room increased and there were killers lurking in the dark, wouldn''t it be true that the school wanted her to die? To further make students question the system and management of the school?


    Principal Wang pressed his almost deaf ears and said with a smile, "It''s good that you have such a heart. I look forward to your performance."


    Lin Xinghe heard it and knew she was stable.


    It seemed that she still came up on top. She originally wanted to make the school mess up and fess up. Now that she outed their plans, the school would not dare to kill her for a while.


    The next exam room wouldn¡¯t be too targeted at her.

 CH 81.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 81.1


    The meeting ended, and all the students went back to class.


    The teacher was still discussing Buddhist scriptures on the podium.


    The students were all whispering to each other, but the teacher ignored them and kept talking about Buddhism.


    Gu Taoyao whispered to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Deskmate, you are too daring to openly challenge Principal Wang''s authority. If Principal Wang dislikes you, your future examination rooms will not be easy. But you are really amazing. Even the ancient students¡¯ coup didn¡¯t get Principal Wang to invite graduates to give speeches."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you know those graduates?"


    Gu Taoyao shook her head and said, "One of them, well, I¡¯ve watched one of his livestreams. Dorov from the third class of the fantasy department? When he was a freshman, he wasn¡¯t very well-known. He only revealed his multiple abilities when he faced an ancient school boss, and he became famous through that battle and graduated soon afterward..."


    Thinking of something, Gu Taoyao added, "Deskmate, you''d better not mess with the graduates, many powerful bosses have been deposed by them. Fortunately, they¡¯ve already graduated, otherwise you would be in some trouble."


    Lin Xinghe fell into deep thought.


    Gu Taoyao whispered again, "... Fortunately, Lu Qin is currently in an exam¡ªotherwise, she would have come to look down on us again. After she got her body remodeled in the last exam room, she had to go take the mandatory exam. I heard from someone that she¡¯s actually doing pretty well."


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe asked, "Do you know how many staff there are in our school? Including teachers and principals, cafeteria staff, janitors¡­"


    Gu Taoyao said, "I don''t quite know...why are you asking this all of a sudden?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "I just thought to ask all of a sudden."


    Gu Taoyao pondered it, then said, "I''ll ask you in the student group for you. Maybe someone will know. I¡¯m not sure of the exact number, but according to the teachers I''ve met so far, plus Principal Wang, there are only twelve. Our department has two teachers, and the other three departments each have three teachers."


    Lin Xinghe asked again, "Have there ever been any large-scale armed conflicts in the school?"


    Gu Taoyao thought about it.


    "No, most of the armed outbreaks are from individuals or freshmen. It¡¯s difficult to get the higher level students to do anything¡­¡±


    As if thinking of something, Gu Taoyao said again, "No, that time with Xilin was a large-scale armed conflict. She and her followers almost bombed the school... But later, Xilin and her followers all died in examination rooms, and no student afterwards ever dared to engage in armed conflict..."


    Lin Xinghe nodded thoughtfully.


    Gu Taoyao asked, "You don¡¯t happen to be thinking of..."


    Lin Xinghe smiled, "Of course not, I have been a good student since I was a child. I have deeply reflected on my mistakes and strive to perform well in the next examination room to live up to Principal Wang''s courteousness to me today."


    Lin Xinghe paused and looked directly at Gu Taoyao.


    Gu Taoyao blushed slightly and asked, "What''s wrong? Is there something on my face?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "I¡¯m predicting that you may come into possession of a fortune in the future.¡±


    Gu Taoyao asked happily, "Really? If others say it, I wouldn¡¯t believe it, but you say I do."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, but sometimes you have to pay a price to accept the fortune, so it depends on what you¡¯re willing to sacrifice."


    Although the school would not openly face her, they would definitely try something in secret.


    She was used to thinking several steps ahead in her enemies¡¯ shoes. If she wanted to get rid of a leaker, she would destroy them from the people close to that person¡ªGu Taoyao, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou.


    Lin Xinghe guessed that the school would most likely try to persuade Gu Taoyao with points.


    Lin Xinghe would give Gu Taoyao a choice. No matter how Gu Taoyao chose, Lin Xinghe had no opinion. In such an environment, it was difficult for people to protect themselves, so she would not expect anyone to prioritize relationships over personal safety.


    As for Jiuge and Fu Zhou, the school was unlikely to win over them.


    The two of them could graduate through their own strength, and the school bribing them would only make it more suspicious to them.


    During the noon break, Lin Xinghe took a look at the registration list of the competitive examination room.


    Sure enough, despite Principal Wang''s explanations, a small number of students became suspicious and made the same choice as she did- to participate in the competitive examination room.


    Lin Xinghe had not registered yet.

 CH 81.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 81.2


    She waited for the number of people to be almost full, took a photo of the list, and finally chose to sign up when there were five places left.


    She originally thought about registering last, but she was worried that she would not be able to register in time to share the exam room with Xie Wuan and Jiuge and the others. She could find out the four remaining people in the waiting room of the exam.


    After signing up, Lin Xinghe went to look for Jiuge.


    She asked, "Did the shampoo I made last time work?"


    Jiuge said, "It''s pretty easy to use. After I washed my hair twice, my temples started to get fluffy."


    Jiuge smiled faintly and showed his newly grown fluff.


    "Because it has just sprouted, it is still a thin fluff. When it grows longer, it will naturally firm up and become usable."


    Jiuge sincerely praised, "Your shampoo is really easy to use. My hair is special, and most magic potions don¡¯t work. I have tried many shampoos, and all of them have side effects. Your shampoo deep cleans, fights dandruff and itching, speeds up hair growth, and prevents future hair loss.


    Jiuge¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe took out a huge gift box from her portable space.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Jiuge, it''s for you."


    The box had 20 large bottles of shampoo as well as smaller travel-sized bottles.


    Jiuge looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Before Lin Xinghe could speak, Jiuge said, "Okay, I promise, I''ll form a team with you."


    Before Jiuge could finish his words, Fu Zhou appeared out of nowhere and said, "Jiuge! You are biased! I have asked you to form a team so many times, but you have never promised me! Lin Xinghe has not yet said that she wants to form a team with you, but you took the initiative to form a team with her!"


    Jiuge: "She has a lot of hair."


    Jiuge: "Her pet also has a lot of hair."


    Fu Zhou: "..."


    And Leiting, whose heart had already fallen for Xiao Xue Ji, also agreed with Jiuge''s words. The snake head nodded frantically. It had pulled out a wig with long fluttering hair from somewhere and spun next to Xiao Xue Ji happily.


    Fu Zhou pulled back the weird Leiting, stuffed it into the storage ring, and shouted to Lin Xinghe, "Boss."


    Fu Zhou''s shout was convincing. When he was in the alpine rimerose examination room, he felt that Lin Xinghe was pretty clever and very lucky. Later, he watched her performance in the City of Machines examination room and was deeply impressed by her! What courage and wisdom she must have had to fight against Xie Wuan!


    Fu Zhou coughed lightly, intending to introduce in detail the contribution he could make to the team.


    One thing to say, although there was a powerful tank like Jiuge, the team still needed a deputy tank. After all, Lin Xinghe''s body had not been modified. She was an ordinary person who couldn¡¯t stand a sneak attack. This was his place to shine!


    However, before Fu Zhou could speak, a gust of wind blew back their hair. A man in fluttering white robes descended from the sky. With a grand gesture of his wide sleeves, Xie Wuan announced, "This illustrious one agrees."


    Fu Zhou: ...Wait, what did you agree to?


    Then, Fu Zhou saw Lin Xinghe happily introducing them to Xie Wuan: "Xianjun, this is..."


    Lin Xinghe asked Jiuge, "What''s your real name?"


    Jiuge: "Alfred Rudolph."


    "Yes, we call him Jiuge. You must have heard of Jiuge. His shield is very powerful. I just reached a friendly cooperation agreement with Jiuge. Let''s create a friendly spark in the competitive examination room together!"


    Lin Xinghe added, "Xianjun, you are quite strong, so you can be our main DPS! Jiuge''s shield is also very powerful, so he will be the resistance in our team! As for me, although I don¡¯t have any powers, I can still be in charge of logistics and support our team!"


    Lin Xinghe looked at Fu Zhou and said, "Ah, yes, what did you just say?"


    Fu Zhou''s rhetorical appeal was stopped.


    Next to Xie Wuan, a deviant who could deal and take damage, Fu Zhou¡¯s arguments, his charisma, and his talisman abilities seemed to pale...


    He didn¡¯t even think he deserved to be in such a team!


    He would just be a hindrance!


    He silently let Leiting out.


    Leiting, still wearing his wig, ran to Xiao Xue Ji''s side again, like a madly loyal husky.


    Fu Zhou said brazenly, "Bosses, I''m applying to join the team. I, Fu Zhou, can be the comedian of the team!"

 CH 82.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 82.1


    Lin Xinghe didn''t mind having one more tank on the team, so she consulted Jiuge and Xie Wuan for their opinions.


    Jiuge: "I have no opinion."


    Xie Wuan said lightly, "I rarely take exams with people."


    His heart said¡ª


    "It seems that the last exam made Lin Xinghe underestimate the strength of my illustrious self... Even with my illustrious self on her side, she still wants Rudolph''s shield. Anyway, an extra shield is better than nothing. Lin Xinghe is a mere mortal. It makes sense for her to have a shield. She already has one shield, so it doesn''t matter if she has a second shield."


    Lin Xinghe originally was thinking of how to persuade Xie Wuan, but she did not expect Xianjun to be so sensible and persuade himself.


    Sure enough, after a while, Xie Wuan said, "Doesn¡¯t matter."


    Lin Xinghe said to Fu Zhou, "You are welcome to join us."


    Leiting turned his head frantically, like a green spinning top, and Xiao Xue Ji was amused by Leiting and laughed.


    Fu Zhou said firmly, "I will play my role well."


    As a result, Lin Xinghe''s team was officially established.


    The number of people in the competitive examination room was full less than half an hour after Lin Xinghe signed up. The next morning, Lin Xinghe received a notice for the exam.


    It took a long time for the competitive examination room to gather people. Every time, the competitive examination room was full of bosses, and it was clear that the difficulty was much higher than that of normal exam rooms.


    Every time the competitive examination room opened, many students would come to watch the students before the examination.


    Qi Qing''s appearance made the candidates around him gossip about him in hushed whispers.


    "Qi Qing won the most popular ranking in the last examination room. His golden S-class bracelet is really beautiful, and his weapon is also very aesthetic. It¡¯s a golden sword that can¡¯t even be picked up by those who haven¡¯t strengthened their body."


    "Qi Qing is the top dog of melee combat. I heard that he has never lost a one-on-one duel."


    "All the bosses in our school are basically in this exam, and the two freshmen who suddenly rose up are also here..."


    "Ohhhh, I really want to touch Qi Qing''s tendons."


    ¡­¡­


    Soon, Jiuge also appeared.


    Jiuge stood under the sun, shook out his black, silky hair, and raised his head proudly.


    "Jiuge, wait for me."


    Fu Zhou chased after Leiting.


    "If Jiuge fights with Qi Qing, Qi Qing may not win. Jiuge''s shield is said to be indestructible."


    "But if Jiuge only defends, he can''t win against Qi Qing. Qi Qing''s physical strength seems to never be used up."


    "Rumor has it that Fu Zhou and Jiuge have formed a team. The two tanks have joined forces. Fu Zhou is also bringing his own mount. If Qi Qing fights with Jiuge, Fu Zhou will definitely help Jiuge. Qi Qing has little chance of winning."


    At this moment, Xie Wuan stepped off his sword.


    He attracted the attention of the whole audience.


    The students who were still discussing who would win the fight between Qi Qing and Jiuge switched to talking about Xie Wuan. When it came to Xie Wuan, they also couldn¡¯t leave out Lin Xinghe, who won the last match against Xie Wuan.


    Someone said, "Lin Xinghe also participated in the competitive examination room. Will the winner be decided again this time?"


    As soon as their words fell, Jiuge and Fu Zhou approached Xie Wuan.


    Jiuge greeted Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    "Oh? Are they teaming up?"


    "Xie Wuan has never teamed up with people, right?"


    "Could it be that the last exam room made him understand that fighting alone is worse than teamwork?"


    "...In this case, Lin Xinghe will suffer."


    "Didn''t Lin Xinghe cooperate with Jiuge and Fu Zhou in another exam room?"


    Before they finished speaking, Lin Xinghe also appeared with Xiao Xue Ji.


    While she was entering the preparation room, everyone saw a green shadow rushing out from Fu Zhou''s side. It rushed to Lin Xinghe''s side like a whirlwind and stopped in front of Xiao Xue Ji obediently. It rubbed against the back of Xiao Xue Ji''s hand.


    Xiao Xue Ji''s soft little hands touched Leiting''s head.


    Leiting happily arched its body up to carry Xiao Xue Ji and let her sit on its head.


    Fu Zhou followed Leiting to greet Lin Xinghe.


    Seeing that Fu Zhou had left, Jiuge was a little embarrassed to stay at Xie Wuan¡¯s side, so he also stepped forward to greet Lin Xinghe.


    The illustrious Xianjun Xie Wuan himself naturally disdained to greet Lin Xinghe. He stood in one place coldly until they rejoined him, then said to Lin Xinghe, "You are quite unpunctual."


    Lin Xinghe replied with a smile, "I¡¯m not unpunctual, the exam hasn''t started yet! I went to buy some food to eat..."


    She patted her backpack.


    "I was worried that magic and immortality would be banned like the last exam room, so I brought some food and drinks with me..." She took out a package of lollipops from her backpack and handed Xiao Xue Ji a strawberry flavored one. She offered one to Jiuge, Xie Wuan, and the others: "Do you want to eat one? They aren¡¯t ordinary candies. I asked my classmates from the fantasy department to make them with magic potions."


    She said to Jiuge, "...This one can promote hair growth, but I don''t know if it has any effect on yours."


    Jiuge: "Give me one."


    Fu Zhou: "...Then give me one too."


    Lin Xinghe looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan: "No."


    Lin Xinghe had already predicted this, so she unpeeled the rapper, and sucked on an energy-boosting chocolate lollipop.

 CH 82.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 82.2


    The harmonious atmosphere of the four people shocked the gossipers.


    "Fuck! What kind of powerful alliance is this?"


    "...The rest of the exam participants are screwed. In the end, there can only be six winners, and this team has four people."


    "Xie Wuan also has a day when he needs teamwork."


    "Oh, what kind of cracked combination is this!"


    At this time, the proctor arrived.


    There were five proctors, but Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know if that was because of the competitive nature of the exam or for some other reason. One of the teachers read the rules according to the script. The only difference between normal and competitive exams was that for competitive exams, after the first room was over, participants seamlessly entered the second examination room and so on. The exam wouldn¡¯t end until participants achieved victory in the last room.


    Finally, the proctor waved his hand and opened the space-time rift.


    Before Lin Xinghe went in, she smiled at the proctor and said, "Teacher, I will definitely perform well, and I won''t disappoint Principal Wang!"


    The proctor said with a blank face, "Hurry in and get in, there are many people lining up behind."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Okay!"


    Before he finished speaking, someone cut in front of Lin Xinghe and entered the rift.


    The man exuded cold air, muttering, "Dawdlers"


    Lin Xinghe didn''t know him, but Fu Zhou told her that he was a new freshman, a dual-ability magic student. Without him in the last exam room, she would have been in the top three livestream popularity rankings.


    Fu Zhou said, "We have to be wary of him. He is very good at sneak-attacking people. He killed nearly 20 candidates in the last exam room."


    Lin Xinghe nodded and entered the space-time rift.


    In order to save face, the exam room would not target her this time, and it may even play to her strengths in her area of


    expertise, but it was hard to say what kind of crises were hidden in the dark. For example, the freshman boss just now might be her assassin.


    After the strong light faded away, Lin Xinghe gradually adapted to her surroundings.


    She landed on a wide, open field.


    Before she could look around properly, she saw Jiuge walking towards her. Fu Zhou also followed at his side, and Leiting was stuffed into the storage ring.


    Jiuge: "This should be a world you are familiar with."


    Fu Zhou: "Yes, this is a parking lot."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it and realized that it was really a modern parking lot. It was exactly the same as the world she had been in before, but it was empty without a single car. Judging from the number of people in the field, the candidates all landed in the same place this time.


    She asked, "Where''s Xie Wuan?"


    As soon as she trailed off, Xie Wuan walked over.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled when she saw his outfit.


    In all her interactions with Xie Wuan, he had always been wearing the sweeping robes and white sleeves of his before-novel era in a ethereally celestial fashion. Now, he put away his cultivation sword and donned a casual dress shirt and suit pants. His long hair was tied up in a casual bun. When he looked up, random strands of hair curled and fell across his forehead. With his deep and aesthetic facial features, his appearance was a bit too tantalizing¡ªa classic damn heartthrob.


    Until Xie Wuan''s heart sounded¡ª


    "Shallow.*"


    Only then did Lin Xinghe suddenly return to her senses and realize that she was truly a little too superficial, and that damned heartbeat disappeared without a trace.


    At this time, Xie Wuan''s voice sounded again¡ª¡ª


    "These women are all really superficial. When this illustrious one sacrifices the magic weapon of my destiny, we will see if they dare to look at me like this... Oh, Lin Xinghe didn''t look at me like that. She is indeed a figurine that this monarch likes."


    Lin Xinghe felt a little guilty, and said to Xie Wuan, "Xianjun, you are here too..."


    Xie Wuan said, "I''ve tested it. This exam room hasn¡¯t banned cultivation*, and my portable space is open."


    Jiuge stretched out his hair and said, "Magic isn¡¯t banned either."


    At this time, two buses slowly drove into the parking lot, and there were four words written on the front of the bus - Zhongming Real Estate Agency. A well dressed young man with a badge around his neck and a standard and professional smile stepped off one of the buses.


    "Good morning, bosses and CEOS, I''m sorry for being late. There was a traffic accident on the third ring road** and we were blocked for half an hour. I''m really sorry. But don''t worry, the houses you will see will not disappoint! Come, this way please! You can get on either bus. We¡¯re having McDonald¡¯s breakfast*** served on both buses. You can choose from congee, fritters, fried eggs, soy milk, Western-style breakfast burgers, and hash browns. They are placed in the first row of seats. Come on, everyone who didn''t eat breakfast can pick some up."


    When Lin Xinghe passed by the young man, she paid attention to his badge.


    The young man was named Deng Haotian.


    After Lin Xinghe got into the car, she took a long-awaited McDonald''s breakfast. When she sat down, the question of this exam room popped up on her wristband - The blooming of the seed(s) of hell.


    TL Notes:


    *Xianxia means immortal heroes. In the xianxia genre, cultivators try to cultivate themselves into immortals or celestials. The techniques they use are considered the Chinese equivalent of magical powers and are often martial in nature.


    **In Beijing, the capital city of China, the city is built around a system of 6 ring roads. The first ring road is in the middle, while the sixth ring road is closer to the outskirts.


    ***In China, McDonald¡¯s breakfast is less of a guilty pleasure food and much more healthy.

 CH 83.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 83.1


    What were the seeds of hell?


    In an examination room in the modern world, how could there be such things as the seeds of hell? Was it a modern fantasy world?


    "Mommy!"


    Xiao Xue Ji held a hash brown in both hands.


    "Delicious! Mommy! Eat one!"


    Lin Xinghe didn''t put Xiao Xue Ji in her portable-space. She was worried that, like the previous exam room, magic and immortality were forbidden here. Fortunately, this exam room did not  ban magic tools.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Mommy has one here, you can eat it yourself."


    Xiao Xue Ji shoved the whole hash brown into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a cute little squirrel. After she finished it, Fu Zhou, who was sitting behind Xiao Xue Ji, handed his over. After she ate the second one, Fu Zhou gave her Jiuge¡¯s.


    Jiuge never ate junk food in order to keep his hair healthy.


    Xie Wuan sat next to Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji, separated by an aisle.


    The bus was full of students.


    No one dared to sit by Xie Wuan''s side, and no one dared to approach their cracked team comp.


    Lin Xinghe whispered to Xiao Xue Ji, "Don''t eat too much, you might get indigestion."


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at the third hash brown eagerly.


    At this time, a black medicinal pill suddenly appeared in Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s hand.


    Xie Wuan still had that expressionless face.


    "Not poison."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What is that?"


    Xie Wuan: "Prevents indigestion."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Wow, Xianjun is amazing."


    Xie Wuan: "Hm."


    ¡¾...Am I delusional? Isn''t this team here for the exam? ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, yes, I think so too! ¡¿


    ¡¾Four adults and one kid, it¡¯s almost like they¡¯re traveling as a family! Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe are like parents, Xiao Xue Ji is the daughter, Jiuge and Fu Zhou are like the maternal uncles? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, when you say that, I really feel it! ¡¿


    ...


    When Lin Xinghe saw Xie Wuan''s medicine, she casually let Xiao Xue Ji take it.


    She continued to pore over the exam prompt.


    The surrounding scenery kept changing, gradually becoming more and more remote compared to the bustling city center. It took more than an hour before the bus stopped. Deng Haotian took them to a patch of real estate.


    Deng Haotian said, "Bosses and CEOS, the houses here are all well furnished and are completely ready for residency. You were all introduced to our company, so you can purchase the properties for insider prices. Although they are both commercial and residential houses, the property rights last for seventy years. Gas, electricity, and water are all billed at normal residential rates.¡± Lin Xinghe had been away from her own modern world for a long time, and hearing this familiar blather was quite soothing.


    There weren¡¯t many modern students here, so most of the examinees were stunned when they heard this.


    Lin Xinghe listened carefully to Deng Haotian''s explanation of the real estate information.


    Her general understanding was that the houses were not just common residential properties. Although they were located in the suburbs, there were two bus stops and a subway station less than 500 meters away. The transportation was very convenient and the price was three thousand per square meter.


    Deng Haotian said, "... If it weren¡¯t for the insider discount, it would be ten thousand per square meter, which, for housing prices in the capital, is already too low to be true... The capital''s sixth ring road house price is 60,000 per square meters. I will show you the model. The construction and furniture are all made of good materials, and we never cut corners¡ªif you find that we do, we will pay 30% of the redecoration price. If you want to buy houses, do so quickly. Only the last 100 houses are left, and you will pay 10% of the price as a deposit reservation first."


    Lin Xinghe suddenly asked, "Is this near the sixth ring road?"


    Deng Haotian answered, "Yes."


    Deng Haotian continued praising this real estate.


    Fu Zhou told Jiuge, "I have been to modern examination rooms a few times. We may be asked to work..."


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Fu Zhou and said in a low voice, "The house price is not right. There must be something wrong with the houses we are looking at. But if there is a problem, it might be a hint to the prompt¡­" As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Wuan. His mind seemed to be wandering, and his heart was quiet.


    Lin Xinghe remembered Xie Wuan''s usual exam style, and said, "Xianjun, can you be merciful? Don''t kill the NPCs, they may hold important clues."


    Xie Wuan said "Mm,¡± still looking absent-minded.


    At this time, Deng Haotian had already entered the residential area with the group of test takers.


    The name of the community was very ordinary¡ªFujin Garden. It looked almost identical to any random residential area in modern times. A luxurious fountain was placed at the entrance, and a beautiful sunflower, two meters high, was carved in the center spout.


    Lin Xinghe had never seen a sunflower-themed fountain, so she couldn''t help but take a few more glances at it.


    There were a hundred candidates, but Deng Haotian was the only one who showed them around the houses.


    Naturally, the model room could not accommodate so many people, so Deng Haotian brought people in in batches. Those who could not enter could still see the room in VR, with Deng Haotian''s synchronous live broadcast.


    Most of the candidates want to be the first to go in to see the house.


    So far in the exam room, the clue was clear - the house.


    Whoever saw the house first would have the first chance.


    Fu Zhou also thought so.

 CH 83.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 83.2


    Lin Xinghe said, "You were among the first batch of people who went in to see the house. I''ll take a look around."


    At this time, the benefits of teamwork arose.


    However, in the competitive examination room, there were many like Lin Xinghe and the others who formed teams. When Lin Xinghe probed for information, there were also people who wanted to go around to inquire about news.


    There is a subway station nearby.


    Lin Xinghe took out a small peanut of a thousand pure gold from the carry-on space. It was one of the protection fees paid to her by the mayor of the Snow Girl Examination Room before. She weighed it in her hand and found a well-dressed passerby and said: " Do you know that there is a Fujin Garden community nearby? I want to inquire about something, and this is the fee for inquiring."


    No matter what era it was, money is always omnipotent. If they didn¡¯t take you up, you just hadn¡¯t offered enough.


    Coupled with Lin Xingheng''s harmless appearance, passerby A looked Lin Xinghe up and down, and said, "It''s an old neighborhood, did you see the advertisement and want to come here to buy a house? Don''t buy it, that neighborhood isn''t clean, otherwise it won''t work. It will be sold so cheaply that the commercial and residential apartments two kilometers away from the subway entrance are sold for 35,100 square meters.¡±


    Passerby A: "Yes, it is haunted at night, the occupancy rate is low, and no one cares about it. The unscrupulous developers have no choice but to lower the price, but everyone values their lives more, so no one dares to live there. They can only trick people into buying the houses now. Some people from other places bought it before, and they sold it at a low price within ten days of moving in. "


    Hearing about ghosts, Lin Xinghe was slightly excited and asked, "How is it haunted?"


    Passerby A: "...I don''t know, but I can ask for you."


    Lin Xinghe changed her mind when she saw that the passerby took out his mobile phone and went to the forum, and said, "Where can I buy mobile phones and phone cards? Do I need an ID card to buy them? If I can¡¯t, can you do it for me?"


    Lin Xinghe took out another piece of gold from his pocket.


    As the saying goes, money can make ghosts run the mill.


    Lin Xinghe quickly got a mobile phone and a mobile phone card of that world. She searched the Internet and found that the setting of this world was very similar to the one she had been living in. According to her previous speculation, it seemed that each world of fiction had its own complete worldview.


    Fortunately, gold was the multiversal currency.


    She found another pawn shop and pawned all the gold in the suitcase given to her by Mayor Jia. That heavy box gold protection fee was exchanged for the currency in circulation in this world, a total of 2.6 million.


    Then, she went to Ye Luzi and got someone else''s ID card.


    Since each fictional world has its own worldview and details were automatically added, in her personal experience, having an ID card in the modern world is much more convenient.


    Lin Xinghe checked the news of Fujin Garden on the Internet, and found that there were indeed many posts discussing the haunting incident of Fujin Garden.


    There was a post from a former resident, saying that after twelve o¡¯clock in the middle of the night in their usually quiet neighborhood, there would be strange noises, including women¡¯s crying, men¡¯s roars, and sometimes children outside the window giggling. And that resident lived on the eighteenth floor.


    Lin Xinghe put away her phone and returned to Fujin Garden.


    At that moment, Fu Zhou left the model house.


    Lin Xinghe asked him, "Where are Jiuge and Xie Wuan?"


    Fu Zhou said: "Jiuge is viewing the room inside. Xie Wuan left."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Did you see anything?"


    Fu Zhou said: "There''s nothing wrong, and there are no ghosts around. Have you found any clues?"


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe asked him, "Are you rich? Can you lend me a little?"


    Fu Zhou was startled.


    Lin Xinghe said, "I want gold currency."


    Fu Zhou: "...Not very."


    Lin Xinghe ran to Jiuge to borrow money again. Jiuge had some gold at hand, but not much. Lin Xinghe wrote an IOU to Jiuge and exchanged it for the currency in circulation in this world.


    Now Lin Xinghe has five million cash in pocket, and because the pawn shop was quite wealthy, it got the cash for her in just half an hour.


    Fu Zhou asked dumbfounded, "Do you really want to buy a house here?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Hey, you don''t understand, as a modern person, housing prices are always a pain. If you can buy a house at a low price, don''t think about the hauntings. I''m willing to buy a grave next door! What a loss! You used to live in the vast and sparsely populated Xianxia world and don¡¯t understand the pain of modern people buying a house."


    Fu Zhou felt that Lin Xinghe was crazy.


    If she bought a house here, even if the housing prices increased and she made a profit, once the exam room is over, she couldn¡¯t take the house. Once she realized, it would likely be too late. He looked at Jiuge and wanted Jiuge to persuade Lin Xinghe.


    Jiuge: "Leave the brainstorming to Lin Xinghe."

 CH 84.1

    There were those present who trusted Lin Xinghe, and naturally there were also candidates who didn¡¯t trust her and couldn¡¯t stand her. However, she had shown her ability, and those candidates who disliked her could only bear it inside.


    Someone sneered and said, ¡°The test prompt has just come out, and we still don¡¯t know if this community is the final setting. Are you a proctor who knows the answer in advance? To the students who just follow others blindly, I advise you not to. You might get nothing and lose your life in the end.¡±


    They slammed the door and left.


    The two newcomers glanced at Lin Xinghe and the others and left.


    Qi Qing did not join Lin Xinghe¡¯s group.


    He glanced at Xie Wuan and Jiuge. His eyes darkened slightly, and he left immediately.


    Gradually, only Lin Xinghe¡¯s team remained at the viewing site.


    Lin Xinghe gave out tasks to the thirty-six students.


    She asked them about their skills separately and then split them into two groups.


    She said to the first group of students, ¡°Your tasks are relatively trivial, no danger involved. Your main job is to go outside to collect any information related to this community, including about people and things. Note everything down, even if it is just a dog outside pooping on the lawn.¡±


    Whether her inferences based on the mermaid leader¡¯s words were correct could be verified one by one in this world.


    If this were a fictional world, it must have a protagonist.


    Regardless of how far the story had progressed, she must try to find the protagonist. There would always be clues.


    In the first three exam rooms of hers, the exam questions were all related to villains, so there was a high possibility that there were villains in this community. Of course, it was not guaranteed.


    Lin Xinghe thought from the school¡¯s point of view. To deal with a student like her, they might give some unconventional exam questions. The best way to confuse her and the public¡¯s attention was to make sure that there were no awakenings in the exam room.


    Therefore, this examination room was not necessarily a regular examination room, and it was very likely that many inferences did not apply. What was certain was that as long as it was a novel world, there must be a protagonist.


    She said to the second group of students, ¡°Your mission may be a little dangerous. Please keep an eye on the two new freshmen and ensure your own safety. Also, watch Qi Qing and Lu Qin¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe paused for a while, and then named two other capable students.


    She said, ¡°You should work in pairs. Pay attention to what they do, and let me know if there is anything unusual.¡±


    This was also her defense against the school¡¯s actions.


    In order to deal with her, the school had to give a difficult prompt and pit her against strong competitors.


    She hadn¡¯t figured out how the villain school screened the students, so the two talented newcomers were extremely suspicious. If the school could recruit students at will, it could arrange for some newcomers with outstanding abilities to eliminate the targets of the school.


    This was the first; the second tactic was to start with people around her, such as Gu Taoyao. Gu Taoyao did not enter the competitive examination room and could be excluded; the third was to send an unassuming assassin. But with Fu Zhou, Jiuge, and Xie Wuan by her side, she had nothing to worry about.


    Those neighbors wouldn¡¯t be so easily dealt with at night.


    She was unfamiliar with other competitors such as Qi Qing. They might also be the eyes and ears of the school. Although the probability was not high, in this case, it was better to be careful.


    At this moment, in addition to the students at the school, there were also the teachers of the villain school and Principal Wang who were watching Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream. As Lin Xinghe thought, Principal Wang really worked hard on the competition and exam questions. This was a not-so-difficult or even a simple test question, and the students he bribed knew the answer the moment they entered the test room.


    Principal Wang was not willing to let students like Lin Xinghe profit in the competitive examination room. His purpose was to eliminate Lin Xinghe quickly.


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe would have such an operation.


    Principal Wang lowered his face and said coldly, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Which teacher arranged this exam room?¡±


    A short female teacher stood up and said, ¡°It¡­it was me.¡±


    Principal Wang asked, ¡°Did you tell them the answers to the exam questions?¡±


    The female teacher said, ¡°I did. In order not to make the other students suspicious, I let them go through the beginning of the process. They¡¯ll go straight to the ghosts after nightfall, fulfill the ghosts¡¯ wish, let the seeds of hell bloom, and they all know what the wishes are¡­¡±


    The female teacher paused and said with an unnatural expression, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Lin Xinghe to buy a house at the very beginning and to block other people with the house purchase policy. The world does not clearly state the house purchase policy. Lin Xinghe was from a similar setting, so she¡¯s probably more familiar with these types of things.¡±


    In fact, the female teacher really did not know about such small details.

 CH 84.2

    She only looked at the setting of the world, the direction of the story, and the situation of the protagonist. No reader would comb through such fine details!


    Seeing that Principal Wang¡¯s expression was getting more ugly, the female teacher said again, ¡°But it¡¯s just the beginning. It¡¯s still daytime. Even if Lin Xinghe bought the complex, there are ghosts living in the community. It is impossible for the area to be completely occupied by her team. Our people can always find opportunities, and it is not difficult to fulfill the ghosts¡¯ wishes. One person can do 20 or 30 of them in a night. Early the next morning, Lin Xinghe will be eliminated.¡±


    After Lin Xinghe made arrangements, she let the students do their own work.


    Soon, only Lin Xinghe and her team were left at the sales office.


    Deng Haotian came over to look for Lin Xinghe to sign the papers. He didn¡¯t take it to heart when he saw that the other ¡°CEOs¡± were gone. After all, it was a serious business to serve big clients.


    ¡°The keys are here. Our properties here are all two elevators per building, eight houses per floor. This is the penthouse on the top floor. If you need the other keys, I can get them for you at the latest by the day after tomorrow.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°I have a hundred houses, so how many are left in this community?¡±


    Deng Haotian said, ¡°There are a total of 150.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°The remaining fifty houses are all inhabited, right?¡±


    Deng Haotian said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Is there a property department here?¡±


    Deng Haotian said, ¡°Yes, of course there is. The property and security measures in this community are well managed¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Please summon the property manager, I want to talk to them.¡±


    At this point, if Lin Xinghe wanted to talk to Yamaraja, Deng Haotian would find a way to make it happen. He responded immediately, ¡°Wait here for a while. The property department is on the basement floor. I¡¯ll ask Manager An of the property department to come up.¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded: ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    As soon as Deng Haotian left, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Look, that¡¯s right, this is the way the school asks questions, there are 150 houses, there are 100 students, and the remaining 50 are residents of this world. It¡¯s the answer related to the exam question. It¡¯s very likely that a seed of hell is an item in the fifty houses or the residents themselves.¡±


    She glanced at Xie Wuan, and said, ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily the answer to kill the residents. We don¡¯t want to kill people for the time being. I have looked it up on the Internet. It¡¯s haunted at night, and the seeds of hell are likely to be related to the haunting. Regardless what the seeds of hell are, we¡¯ll control whatever¡¯s doing the haunting.¡±


    It was the first time Fu Zhou saw someone solve a problem so rudely and directly.


    ¡°Why did you buy houses?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You¡¯ll find out later.¡±


    When the words fell, Deng Haotian had hurried over with Manager An of the property department. Manager An obviously did not expect that someone would buy a hundred houses at once. There were a total of 150 houses in this dual-use residential area, and this little girl owned two-thirds of them.


    Manager An said, ¡°What do you want to talk to me about?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Although the house purchase is still being processed, you should know that I am now the owner of these houses. Is there a homeowners¡¯ association here?¡±


    Manager An said with a light cough, ¡°Our residents here are a bit introverted and don¡¯t like to communicate with others.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I hope to establish a homeowners¡¯ association, is that alright? I am a democratic person, and every household has the right to vote. Whether they want to or not, they will hear about what they vote for.¡±


    Manager An felt that there was a definite sense of strength in those words.


    ¡­Every household had the right to vote. You had 100 votes, how could other people vote for anything else!


    Manager An said, ¡°I will communicate with the other owners and give you an answer in the next few days.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°That won¡¯t work, there are only fifty owners, you can call and let us know. It¡¯s just an hour or two. After the establishment of the owners¡¯ committee, I hope to hold a small meeting. Please help me find a venue in the community from the property department. Food and drinks are also troublesome. I will settle all the expenses. This party is best held tonight.¡±


    When Manager An heard the word tonight, his face changed slightly, and he said, ¡°It¡¯s better to¡­¡±


    Before he could finish speaking, Deng Haotian took it up, ¡°Boss Lin, don¡¯t worry, you take care of my career so much, I¡¯ll help you with the party venue and all the drinks. Just to confirm, the party is tonight?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Deng Haotian smiled, ¡°No problem.¡±


    Manager An glanced at Deng Haotian.


    Deng Haotian imperceptibly shook his head at him.


    Manager An stopped and said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°I¡¯ll go to inform the owners now.¡±


    Manager An sighed inwardly.


    ¡­Why was the new owner so incapable of waiting another day?


    ¡­Those fifty owners were not so easy to deal with at night.

 CH 85.1

    Deng Haotian was quite efficient. He arranged a party venue for Lin Xinghe before nightfall.


    The party site was the negative second floor of the community, or in other terms, the parking lot.


    There were a sparse seven or eight parked cars, and there was a large open space in the middle, which was spotlessly clean. At this moment, there was a balloon arch set up, and a banner was pulled up on the arch ¨C Homeowners¡¯ Association Gathering. A red carpet was placed on the ground, two ice sculptures on top, and three or four long tables were neatly placed in the back. The tables were covered with exquisite tablecloths, and there were Japanese and Korean dishes, desserts, cold drinks, and even an ice cream machine.


    Deng Haotian patted his chest and said, ¡°Boss Lin, please be assured about the quality of my work. The owners here don¡¯t like to drive, and the cars over there are full of dust. I asked housekeeping to clean them up¡­¡±


    Saying that, Deng Haotian pressed the switch.


    A small string of lights hanging in the air suddenly lit up, making the parking lot feel more like a party venue.


    Deng Haotian said, ¡°I originally planned to make a cardboard cutout of Boss Lin, but unfortunately I didn¡¯t have enough time.¡± He smiled professionally and asked, ¡°Are you satisfied with this venue?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was quite satisfied and nodded.


    At this time, Manager An next to Deng Haotian said, ¡°Ms. Lin, I have informed all the owners and they agreed to come to the party.¡±


    Manager An looked at the parking lot with cold sweat dripping down his back.


    He gently chided, ¡°Ms. Lin, many of the owners here are elderly people. Although they are willing to come to the party, they are not young and must rest early. If possible, you should try to end the gathering earlier, before midnight at least. The elderly need rest, and the soundproofing here is not very good¡­¡±


    If an underground parking lot in a residential area was not soundproof, could it still be called a parking lot?


    Lin Xinghe heard the implications and grasped the main point of Manager An¡¯s words¡ª


    After midnight, something was bound to happen.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s smile became brighter and sweeter.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll try to end it as soon as possible. Is it convenient for me to give me information about other owners? Just names and photos. I know that the owners¡¯ personal information is involved, but we¡¯ll all meet tonight. If I¡¯ll know the information in advance, it will be much more convenient to communicate with them¡­¡±


    Manager An said, ¡°As long as it¡¯s just the name and a photo, it will be fine.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°That¡¯s good. By the way, how many exits and entrances are there?¡±


    Manager An replied, ¡°The entrance and exit for cars is one. There¡¯s an elevator for residents, and then an emergency fire exit, so three in total.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked for the exact locations.


    Manager An answered one by one.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±


    Manager An vaguely reminded, ¡°The fire exit is suitable for escaping.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, thank you for your help. Today¡¯s party probably isn¡¯t the best time to repay you both. I¡¯ll invite you to dinner next time when you are free.¡±


    Deng Haotian said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡±


    When he and Manager An left, Manager An turned his head and glanced at Lin Xinghe, whispering to Deng Haotian, ¡°You guys in real estate are really wicked. That girl looks to be in her early twenties at most, and she¡¯ll be gone after tonight¡­ ¡­¡±


    Deng Haotian replied, ¡°She wants to buy the houses, and she wants to hold a party. I didn¡¯t do anything. I just tried my best to meet the boss¡¯s needs.¡±


    Manager An continued, ¡°You know that the people who live here are¡­¡±


    Deng Haotian¡¯s expression changed suddenly, and he said, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, the second underground floor is very eerie.¡±


    Manager An replied, ¡°I was so nervous about the phone calls with the owners today¡­ If it weren¡¯t for the high wages, I would definitely not work here.¡±


    The two left the parking lot while talking.


    They did not know that the conversation all fell into Lin Xinghe¡¯s ears.


    Fu Zhou rubbed his hands together and said, ¡°Is it going to be haunted at night?¡±


    Jiuge: ¡°It seems like it is.¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at Xie Wuan and said, ¡°Don¡¯t kill them.¡±


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°I am not a cruel person¡­¡±


    As soon as the words fell, Jiuge, Fu Zhou and Lin Xinghe¡¯s three pairs of eyes landed on Xie Wuan. Xiao Xue Ji followed her mother¡¯s line of sight and raised her head, staring at Xie Wuan with a pair of jet-black eyes.


    Xie Wuan: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice at this time: ¡°¡­It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    It was followed by a long sigh.


    Lin Xinghe wanted to ask him what didn¡¯t matter. She listened attentively for a while, but she didn¡¯t hear the rest of the context. She only heard him say, ¡°This illustrious one won¡¯t kill them, but they have to stay with us and cannot be taken away by the other candidates.¡±


    Before he finished speaking, Xie Wuan¡¯s figure had disappeared. In the next instant, Deng Haotian and Manager An had been tied up by Xie Wuan. They were dragged, floating through the air behind Xie Wuan.


    Their mouths were gagged.

 CH 85.2

    They looked at Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe in horror.


    Xie Wuan drawled indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this illustrious one won¡¯t kill.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°If we leave them here, will those proprietor ghosts be suspicious?¡±


    Fu Zhou, the clown of the team, said, ¡°I can make an invisibility barrier around them, and the proprietor ghosts won¡¯t be able to see them. They will be completely invisible as well as muted.¡±


    Deng Haotian and Manager An: ? ? ?


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Sure.¡±


    She pointed to the ceiling.


    ¡°Set it up here, give them a VVIP seat.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°No problem.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Destroy the surveillance.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°I understand this, I¡¯ll come!¡±


    In the blink of an eye, Deng Haotian and Manager An were arranged.


    The two people were gagged, and they hadn¡¯t even processed what had happened at this time. They just saw Xie Wuan come over before they left. Then Xie Wuan used some magic, tugged them into the air, tied them up, and set them uncontrollably floating behind him.


    At this time, they heard the petite and delicate girl with a sweet voice saying, ¡°After the proprietor ghosts come, seal the three entrances and exits with barriers. Manager An emphasized the fire exit, so we should add an extra layer of enchantment there to prevent other students from destroying it.¡±


    The enchantment tool-person Fu Zhou said, ¡°Message received!¡±


    Deng Haotian and Manager An finally came to a conclusion.


    It seemed that the girl and her accomplices were master ghost hunters. From their conversation, it seems that she still had more companions¡­ But there were fifty ghosts here and only a few of them. If these hunters couldn¡¯t beat those proprietor ghosts, wouldn¡¯t the two suffer themselves?


    Thinking of this, their faces turned pale.


    With Lin Xinghe¡¯s operations, classmates who had watched Lin Xinghe¡¯s live streams for a long time were familiar with her style, and they all expressed their expectations for when the fifty proprietor ghosts would arrive.


    Principal Wang was not familiar with Lin Xinghe¡¯s examination style.


    Principal Wang only paid attention to the top 3 students in the school. He seldom payed attention to newly emerging students like Lin Xinghe. After knowing Lin Xinghe¡¯s team, Principal Wang also asked the teacher to arrange the examination room according to the examination styles of Xie Wuan and Rudolph. It would be better if Xie Wuan killed all the owners as soon as he entered the examination room. If everyone failed, they could only leave the examination room, and then the teachers could arrange Lin Xinghe into a random examination room.


    But no one would have thought that Lin Xinghe would form a party and hog all fifty answers in the underground parking lot. With Fu Zhou¡¯s enchantment abilities, they basically had a monopoly from the start.


    Principal Wang looked at the female teacher.


    The female teacher was also helpless.


    The female teacher said, ¡°The party has not yet started, and the ghosts have not yet gone to the underground parking lot. Our students still have the opportunity to stop the plans. Principal, don¡¯t worry, I have already notified the students to do so¡­ To make the examination room seem real, our students have to talk to the proprietor ghosts first and then make their wishes come true.¡±


    It was not the first time that Lu Qin had entered the exam room with the exam answers.


    In the last exam room, she quickly passed the exam with the exam answers. It took less than an hour in total because the teachers secretly instructed her what to do.


    As soon as she left that examination room, she was hurriedly shoved into the competitive examination room.


    Lu Qin knew that the school was going to deal with Lin Xinghe, and she was happy to help them.


    Going against the school would always lead to a bad ending. Lin Xinghe was too arrogant. The last Xilin, who was this arrogant, ended up leading her followers to sacrifice themselves in their last exam room.


    Of course, Lu Qin also wanted to suppress Lin Xinghe¡¯s arrogance. She had been bullied by Lin Xinghe before and wanted to take her revenge. Now that she had the exam answers in hand, she wanted to see how arrogant Lin Xinghe could be.


    In order to pretend that she didn¡¯t know the answers beforehand, she went outside to find an informant while everyone else was viewing the house.


    The wishes of the proprietor ghosts were not difficult to fulfill. Several of them were simple wishes, such as wanting a bite of a particular brand of vanilla ice cream, or wanting to find the lost bracelet. The hard ones included killing the people they resented.


    Her body was remodeled in the holy city in the last exam room, so killing a few ordinary people would not pose a problem for her.


    At this time, Lu Qin was laying the groundwork for herself to find a bracelet on the street, so that she could highlight her luck on her livestream.


    However, at this moment, Lu Qin heard the teacher¡¯s instructions in her head, ¡°Go to Fujin Garden to find the proprietors immediately. Lin Xinghe is trying to monopolize the answers. However many answers you can steal back are better than nothing.¡±


    Lu Qin wrote down the room number that the teacher said.


    Of course, she couldn¡¯t be too obvious to the viewers, otherwise everyone would know that she is cheating.


    She pretended to inquire about relevant information from passersby and children, reasoned to herself in the air, and immediately went straight to Fujin Garden.


    She took the elevator to the sixth floor and knocked on the door.


    Soon, the door opened, and a pale face stuck out.


    Lu Qin said, ¡°This¡­is this the bracelet you lost?

 CH 86.1

    ¡°No.¡±


    The door slammed shut.


    Lu Qin was a little confused.


    She looked at the house number again to verify that it was the one the teacher said. The owner of this house lost her bracelet before she died. The bracelet was a token of love given to her by her fianc¨¦, so she kept thinking about it even after death.


    She knocked again.


    Unexpectedly, it was another person who opened the door this time. Although he was in human form, his face was also abnormally pale, and his eyes were terrifyingly black.


    Before Lu Qin could speak, the man ignored her and said to the people in the room, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go to the parking lot to see our new neighbor.¡±


    As soon as the voice resounded, more than a dozen people rushed out of the room.


    Lu Qin didn¡¯t know who the owner of the bracelet was.


    She shouted anxiously, ¡°Who lost their bracelet?¡±


    One of them said, ¡°Is it Xiaowan? Xiaowan said she lost her bracelet.¡±


    The man looked at Lu Qin and said, ¡°Xiaowan has already gone to the second underground floor. If you want to find her, let¡¯s go down together.¡±


    Lu Qin knew that Lin Xinghe and the others were on the second basement floor. Going down now was no different from walking straight into a trap. The bracelet in her hand might be snatched away.


    Seeing Lu Qin¡¯s hesitation, the man¡¯s pale face became a little clearer, and he said thoughtfully, ¡°I¡¯ll tell Xiaowan for you, wait for her here¡­¡±


    Someone else smiled grimly, ¡°No one has been waiting for Xiaowan for a long time. She will be very happy.¡±


    Although she already knew that these people would not turn into ghosts until after midnight, it was still eerie. There were more than a dozen people in the elevator, but the elevator did not warn that they went over the weight limit. The people all looked at her.


    Lu Qin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.


    The elevator door slowly closed.


    Knowing that she was streaming, Lu Qin couldn¡¯t show any timidity, so she turned around and went to another elevator. Another ghost lived on the ninth floor. Because there were no direct clues outside, Lu Qin couldn¡¯t go there directly. She could only press the elevator buttons blindly like Lin Xinghe and then say to herself, ¡°Just press a random floor, maybe I¡¯ll find it with luck¡­¡±


    It was a pity that Lu Qin¡¯s luck was not very good. When she got to the ninth floor, every house was empty.


    She had to go back to the sixth floor and wait for Xiaowan to come back.


    She thought that Xiaowan¡¯s wish was likely to find back the bracelet that her fiance gave her. After the ghosts passed along the news, she would definitely come back as soon as possible and ask her for the bracelet. Then she would return the bracelet to Xiaowan. If Xiaowan¡¯s wish were fulfilled, Lu Qin would be the first student to complete the exam.


    She explained to the livestream audience at the door of Xiaowan¡¯s house, ¡°I met a key NPC casually on the street. Once I return this bracelet, maybe something good will happen¡­¡±


    When Xiaowan came back, her audience would realize how lucky she was to finish the exam so casually.


    Lu Qin intended to follow Lin Xinghe¡¯s koi character design¡ªgossip about some things so as to make her seem intelligent. If Lin Xinghe could be the light of the modern department, then so could she. After all, Lu Qin had connections.


    At that moment, in the parking lot on the second floor of the basement, Xiaowan learned from her neighbor that someone had found her lost bracelet. She was overjoyed and couldn¡¯t care less about the party, running towards the elevator.


    She was willing to attend the party because she wanted to get a good look at the new residents.


    All the owners who were willing to come to the party had the same idea.


    When the property department called them, the representative made it clear that a rich woman bought 100 houses at once and set up an owner¡¯s committee without their authorization.


    Don¡¯t think that having money made you great, for in the community where the ghosts live, money was not everything.


    Xiaowan looked at Lin Xinghe, who was surrounded by ghosts, and her lips curled imperceptibly.


    When twelve o¡¯clock passed, this beautiful little girl would never be able to laugh again.


    Xiaowan glanced at the time. It was four hours before twelve o¡¯clock AM.


    It was a pity that she wouldn¡¯t be able to see Lin Xinghe¡¯s horrified expression when she saw so many ghosts all at once. Only the ghosts around her knew that she had lost her bracelet. People outside didn¡¯t know. Since someone picked up her bracelet and they knew to give it to her, it most likely had something to do with her life before death.


    If she could have her wish fulfilled, maybe she would not be bound to this community.


    Xiaowan went to the elevator.


    The elevator doors opened, and five or six new ghosts came down.


    The parking lot, which had always been deserted, was very lively at this time.


    A handsome-looking man stood at the elevator entrance. Xiaowan knew that it was Lin Xinghe¡¯s accomplice, Fu Zhou or something. At this time, he was counting the number of people. When Xiaowan walked over, she heard him say, ¡°Exactly fifty people have come.¡±


    After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the crowd.


    Xiaowan didn¡¯t pay him any mind. She hurriedly pressed the elevator button, and when she was about to walk into the elevator, she suddenly bounced back¡ªthere seemed to be an invisible wall blocking her path.


    Xiaowan was stunned for a moment. She tried again, only to receive the same result.


    Xiaowan went to find another exit, and the result was, again, exactly the same. She couldn¡¯t pass through, almost as if there was an enchantment in the air.


    Xiaowan and the group of ghosts had lived in this community for a long time. The developers had hired so many ¡°celestial masters¡± and ghost hunters, but they all failed against the group of 50 ghosts. After a while, none of the ghost hunters in the metaphysics circle dared to try their community again.


    Xiaowan realized it instantly.


    ¡­ This owner was really courageous. Other ghost hunters were trying to face the ghosts one by one, but she actually wanted to catch them all at once?


    Xiaowan sneered.


    ¡­Tonight, if they didn¡¯t teach her a good lesson, they didn¡¯t deserve to be called ghosts.

 CH 86.2

    Xiaowan immediately went back and shared the news with the other ghosts. When the ghosts found out, they were so angry that they were about to lose their heads. What cowardly humans dared to look down on the ghosts of Fujin Garden? Originally, they only intended to scare Lin Xinghe away, but now they just wanted to take their revenge and make her one of them.


    ¡°She already knew we were ghosts, and she must have been prepared.¡±


    ¡°After twelve o¡¯clock, let¡¯s kill her immediately and not give her any chance to call for backup.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t break her barrier, it¡¯s estimated that it will take awhile.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, we have a lot of ghosts. Let¡¯s use the sea of ghosts tactics.¡±


    ¡°When she becomes a proprietor ghost, I¡¯ll go to her door every day to bully and laugh at her, and she will suffer as a ghost.¡±


    Deng Haotian and Manager An, who were locked in the air by Fu Zhou¡¯s barrier, shivered.


    They were very worried watching the small team of four ghost hunters and fifty ghosts fight from the VVIP seats. If Lin Xinghe and the others lost and were sacrificed by the ghosts, they would be stuck up there forever.


    At this point, there were still three hours before midnight.


    A man vs. ghost war was about to begin.


    Deng Haotian, Manager An, and the group of ghosts all thought so.


    But the party that was regarded as a small team of four ghost hunters was having dinner.


    The food and drink arranged by Deng Haotian did not satisfy Lin Xinghe¡¯s tastes very well.


    It was rare to come to a place similar to her world. She skillfully turned on her phone, downloaded a food delivery app, and ordered the local specialty hot pot, roast duck, and various late-night snacks such as crayfish barbecue.


    However, there was something unexpected about dinner.


    Because of the hauntings in Fujin Garden, many riders were afraid to take orders, and Lin Xinghe had to pay double the money before someone was willing to deliver it.


    Fujin Garden was located between the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, so its geographical location was remote. When dinner arrived, it was almost twelve o¡¯clock already.


    Fortunately, the heat preservation measures were in place, and the food was still hot.


    Lin Xinghe, Jiuge, Fu Zhou and Xie Wuan sat next to the square hot pot table, while Xiao Xue Ji sat next to Lin Xinghe, holding a chocolate cone in her hand.


    Lin Xinghe picked up a piece of well-marbled beef with her chopsticks and rinsed it in the mushroom soup base section.


    Jiuge also ate from the mushroom soup base to preserve his health.


    Fu Zhou had a soft spot for spicy hot pot, so he added a great amount of tripe into it.


    Xie Wuan didn¡¯t intend to try these mortal trappings, but seeing Lin Xinghe¡¯s mukbang, he put a few slices of beef in the bottom of the tomato soup base pot. Lin Xinghe prepared two kinds of dipping sauces for him. One was sesame sauce, and the other was chili sauce.


    Xie Wuan dipped it in sesame sauce, and after seeing him eating a slice of beef, Lin Xinghe asked him with a smile, ¡°Does it match Xianjun¡¯s expectations?¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°I¡¯ve been fasting for a long time, and I rarely eat meat, but the taste is alright.¡±


    Xie Wuan said in his heart, ¡°¡­this is the beauty of the secular world. I¡¯ll set up a hot pot table in my infinite space.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was very used to Xie Wuan¡¯s duplicity. She put some meat dishes into each of the four soup base pot section with a smile and said, ¡°Come and eat, fatty beef and mutton don¡¯t need to be boiled for too long. Fu Zhou, the tripe only needs to be rinsed for ten seconds, or else it will become tough.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji enjoyed the ice cream and wanted another one. Lin Xinghe added some fibrous vegetables to her bowl and said, ¡°You can have another ice cream after eating the hot pot.¡±


    Jiuge: ¡°Eating too much ice causes hair loss. You are still young, but you need to lay a solid foundation.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°Yes, I agree with this.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at Xie Wuan eagerly.


    Just as Xie Wuan was about to speak, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Xianjun, don¡¯t spoil her, children can¡¯t eat too much cold food.¡±


    Xie Wuan didn¡¯t say a word and went to eat the fatty beef slices.


    Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s facial features wrinkled, and she silently started eating carrots.


    At this time, the hour hand pointed to twelve o¡¯clock.


    The fifty proprietors turned into their dead states and slowly approached the hot pot table like a crowd of zombies.


    Both Deng Haotian and Manager An in the VVIP seats were shaking in their boots.


    However, the villains were still happily cooking the hot pot.


    Seeing this, the proprietor ghosts became even more angry and immediately roared. A gust of cold wind blew past. But Lin Xinghe at the hot pot table only glanced at her phone and said, ¡°Oops! I forget, it¡¯s past twelve o¡¯clock!¡±


    Lin Xinghe turned her head and said, ¡°They¡¯ve become ghosts.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°My barrier is very stable, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±


    Jiuge: ¡°Yes, Fu Zhou is still trustworthy in this aspect.¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Can we send up the ghosts?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°No, they¡¯re the answer to our exam questions!¡±


    She stood up and said to all the proprietors, ¡°Neighbors, as the saying goes, (Chinese) people treat food as heaven. We¡¯ll have a good time together after we finish cooking the hot pot! I also ordered a lot of late-night snacks for you. Those who want to eat hot pot can go to the next table to boil some food! The ingredients are fresh!¡±


    She seemed to not see the terrifying death states of the proprietor ghosts and even said to a ghost whose intestines were sliding out, ¡°Hey, be careful, don¡¯t dip your intestines into the hot pot soup!¡±


    After speaking, she sat down and continued to eat hot pot.


    The group of ghosts looked at each other in confusion and started to attack them furiously.


    Unexpectedly, they came into contact with the indestructible barrier that shielded Lin Xinghe¡¯s group. No matter how hard they smashed tables and chairs onto the barrier or how much they chanted evil curses, the humans inside the enchantment were not affected at all and continued to happily eat hot pot!


    Fifty proprietor ghosts:  ¡­Fuck.

 CH 87.1

    The proprietor ghosts made trouble outside the barrier for a long time, but Lin Xinghe and the others inside the barrier were not affected at all.


    The ghosts knew they were fighting a losing battle.


    From the start-


    ¡°None of you will live through tonight¡­¡±


    ¡°We are so lonely in the community, come and accompany us¡­¡±


    ¡°We curse you to be divided into five pieces by five horses running in different directions¡­¡±


    To later-


    ¡°Hey! Give us some reactions!¡±


    ¡°Stop eating hot pot! Look at us!¡±


    ¡°Hey! How about respecting the powers of us ghosts!¡±


    To now-


    ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten hot pot for such a long time¡­¡±


    ¡°No one delivers here¡­¡±


    ¡°That roast duck looks so delicious¡­¡±


    ¡°The BBQ must be delicious!¡±


    ¡°Come and eat numb and spicy crayfish!¡±


    The fifty proprietor ghosts decided to temporarily truce.


    Although Lin Xinghe was a little arrogant, there was a saying that was right, (Chinese) people treat food as heaven. People and ghosts were both people. Food came first, and waste was shameful.


    Therefore, the proprietor ghosts ate hot pot, barbecue, crayfish, and soft-serve cones from the ice cream machine.


    As a result, Deng Haotian and Manager An, who were tied up in midair, became the only two people in the audience who had nothing to eat. All kinds of fragrances drifted into their noses, and they were very hungry after nearly 12 hours without food.


    Originally, they thought that after twelve o¡¯clock, the underground parking lot would become a scene of bloody slaughter. Who would have thought that the party of humans and ghosts was more like a feast?


    After about half an hour, Lin Xinghe, who was full, finally left the hot pot table.


    She took a megaphone and called out, ¡°Neighbors, are you eating well?¡±


    Some of the proprietor ghosts who were having a good time responded loudly: ¡°Well! Very well!¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Is there anything else you want to order? Are there enough ingredients for the hot pot?¡±


    ¡°If you can add some thinly sliced lamb¡­¡± Before the owner finished speaking, his neighbor stared at him.


    He realized¡­


    ¡­ Shit, I was almost persuaded by sugar-coated bullets!


    The proprietor ghosts hit the table and stood up!


    ¡°Add my ass! I¡­¡±


    However, before his words were finished, the owner who wanted to get more mutton went silent.


    Xie Wuan slowly turned his wrists. His appearance was cold and clear, and the proprietor ghosts suddenly felt their backs grow a little colder. There were other ghosts who didn¡¯t give up, and their punishments were exactly the same.


    In the back, whenever the ghosts wanted to say something, Xie Wuan hung them in the air.


    Xie Wuan himself seemed to have done nothing. He didn¡¯t even look at the proprietor ghosts. With his slender and fair fingers, he used chopsticks and stuffed a piece of mutton dipped in sesame sauce into his mouth.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Thank you for being quiet¡­¡±


    Proprietor ghosts:  ¡­


    Lin Xinghe held the loudspeaker, ¡°First of all, I am very happy that everyone is willing to meet us frankly and greet me, a new neighbor, with your most authentic face. I am not the ghost hunter that you may think of me as. I am sincere in joining you instead of destroying you! Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t bother to prepare all kinds of food for everyone. I believe you have also seen our ability. If we wanted to destroy you, we wouldn¡¯t have needed to hold a party at all. Directly sealing the entrances of the community would have been enough to trap you in here.¡±


    She spread her hands and said, ¡°So, I am really here to join you! Although I am a real human being and you are ghosts, there is no rule in the world that humans and ghosts cannot live in harmony. Today¡¯s people are being bound by so-called moral obligations and want to get rid of the ¡°evil¡± ghosts. But in reality, they¡¯re just scared of your power.¡±


    The proprietor ghosts who were still a little rebellious in their hearts gradually calmed down and looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°To be honest, I bought these 100 houses for a purpose. I want to make this place the most terrifying, real, and interesting theme park community in the country. I sincerely invite you to join me. Let¡¯s plan together to create a better future!¡±


    The fifty proprietor ghosts all looked at Lin Xinghe with incredulity shining in their eyes.


    ¡­¡­What? Did they hear right? Was this girl crazy? Was she asking them to work for her?


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why you live here together, or why you became ghosts after you die, it seems that you are trapped in this community. Do you know why you¡¯re trapped in this neighborhood?¡±


    Under the dual attacks of the show of strength and the strategy of sugar-coated bullets, some ghosts had already surrendered in their hearts.


    Xiaowan was one of them.


    Xiaowan stood in the front row and replied, ¡°We don¡¯t know why. We all appeared in these houses after we died, and in the morning we will return to our previous appearance. After twelve o¡¯clock, we will become like this. We can¡¯t leave the community. We haven¡¯t done any bad things, and we haven¡¯t scared anyone to death¡­ The reason why we drive them away is for their own good. There are too many ghosts in this community. The yin energy is too heavy, and it is easy for people to suffer bad luck if they stay here for a long time.¡±


    When Xiaowan said this, the other ghosts also agreed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯ve never killed anyone. It¡¯s all for their own good.¡±


    ¡°We didn¡¯t want to kill you, we just wanted to frustrate your spirit and take you down a few notches¡­¡±


    ¡°We really are good ghosts!¡±


    ¡°The kind that can be bribed with a meal of hot pot!¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Does anyone know about the seeds of hell?¡±


    ¡°Huh? What is that?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    ¡°Never heard of that.¡±

 CH 87.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 87.2


    The proprietor ghosts shook their heads one after another, and even those who were reluctant to speak said they had never heard of it.


    Lin Xinghe had a general understanding of the situation, cleared her throat and said, "It doesn''t matter if you don''t know, I''ll tell you about my plan. You are stuck here with nothing to do, so why don''t you start a business with me? You are still human during the day, and you always need money. Although you are trapped here, don¡¯t you want to live a better life? Don¡¯t you have any parents, children, relatives and friends outside? Don¡¯t you want them to live a better life too?¡±


    Lin Xinghe continued, "I promise that as long as you join my company, we will be able to build the best theme park in the country together! In addition to money, there will also be various opportunities for further education. Are you willing to be trapped in such a small community that birds don''t even poop there? Do you think the community will trap you then you? No! When you become strong, nothing can trap you! You will be free spirits! Neighbors~! Friends~! Although you are dead, haven''t you thought about it? You are luckier than ordinary people! You have another chance at life!"


    ¡¾Hahahahahaha, the leader has started to use her marketing techniques again. ¡¿


    ¡¾I originally thought that Xie Wuan and SL would fight like cats and dogs in their teamwork, so I never expected it to be so harmonious! ¡¿


    ¡¾The tacit understanding between the two is so high. With Xiao Xue Ji, they seem almost like a family of three. ¡¿


    ¡¾Ouch, I also want to eat hot pot. I really haven''t eaten hot pot for a long time. I envy the candidates who are in the same exam room as Lin Xinghe. Not only do they not have to worry about the exam, but they can also eat delicious food. I see some of the classmates have already dined at a barbecue restaurant. ¡¿


    ¡¾After SL, Xie Wuan, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou formed a team, they feel even more rude and straightforward! ¡¿


    ¡¾I feel sorry for Qi Qing¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Seriously, if Boss Qi Qing faced off against this group, they wouldn''t be able to win, right? Advantage in numbers is not enough. ¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe''s remarks made the hearts of the 50 proprietor ghosts tremble.


    She was right.


    Although they were ghosts, some needed money and some needed freedom.


    They were indeed not strong enough, otherwise they would not have been trapped in this place for so long.


    Everyone thought that Lin Xinghe was right. They weren¡¯t doing anything here anyway, and working for Lin Xinghe was not a big deal. They were not as powerful as these humans here.


    If they had the strength like Lin Xinghe and the others, would they have left here long ago?


    Some of them originally thought that their lives ended with a lot of regrets, and they were still trapped in such a place. But now this pessimism was shaken at its foundation. From another angle, they were indeed lucky. As long as they started working hard now, it was not too late!


    They could also have a second life!


    Lin Xinghe signed labor contracts on the spot with the 50 proprietor ghosts.


    Deng Haotian was stunned.


    ...If a talent like Lin Xinghe went to work as a real estate agent, even at this young age, she would have been promoted to a ridiculous salary and enjoyed the pinnacle of her life!


    Lu Qin waited all night on the sixth floor alone.


    She thought about going down to the parking lot to take a look, but when she thought that Lin Xinghe had Xie Wuan, Rudolph and Fu Zhou by her side, she became timid.


    No way, who let Lin Xinghe have two super bosses beside her.


    Her current ability was still not strong enough to face Lin Xinghe head-on, so she could only slowly accumulate points in the competitive examination room and exchange for more items.


    At this moment, the elevator door opened.


    Lu Qin saw a girl with a flattened head walking out. Her body was covered in blood, and her head was so smushed that her facial features were completely gone. As she walked, she dripped so much that the ground was covered in wet blood.


    Although Lu Qin was a little scared, thinking of the task, she bravely went up to the ghost.


    She took out the bracelet and asked, "Is this the bracelet you lost?"


    Xiaowan said happily, "Yes, I lost it. Who are you?"


    Lu Qin said: "I happened to find it on the road. I found out that you lived here after asking someone... My name is Lu Qin."


    Xiaowan said, "Oh, okay, thank you."


    Lu Qin was stunned.


    ¡­¡­Gone?


    Xiaowan put the bracelet on her hand and said, "For the sake of returning the bracelet to me, I¡¯ll advise you, don''t stay here. The yin here is too heavy, and it''s all ghosts like me... Although I don''t know who you are, it''s best not to stay here too long."


    Xiaowan had been thinking about the token of love that her fianc¨¦ gave her all the time, but after tonight''s owner''s party and the staff meeting, she could only think about one thing-


    When she had freedom and money, she would be able to find her fiance and continue their previous love!


    She had nothing else to think about now. She just wanted to be a good working ghost!

 CH 88.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 88.1


    Xiaowan was not the only ghost with such ideas. After the staff meeting, many ghosts had new goals in life!


    Who didn¡¯t want a chance to get out of this predicament?


    As long as they seized the opportunity, they could become new men, no, ghosts!


    After the baptism of the staff meeting, they were no longer the idle ghosts who used to live in Fujin Garden!


    They were now full of vigor and lofty ambitions!


    Some ghosts used to only want to eat the bite of chocolate ice cream that they didn''t eat before they died. Now, after the baptism of the staff meeting, they have long-term goals. Eating a bite of ice cream was nothing special. They wanted to own an entire ice cream shop. Vanilla! Chocolate! Strawberry! Mango! Lemon! Blackcurrant! Flavors from Monday to Sunday, no repeats!


    Some ghosts used to think about getting their revenge on the enemies who killed them. Now, after the baptism of thought at the staff meeting, they have come to their senses! They would expose their enemies for the law to punish! After the sanctions were over, they would live a better life than before!


    There were some ghosts who wanted to see their families again before, but now that they had been baptized by the staff meeting, they knew that they could reach higher and farther. Death was not terrible, the terrible thing was that they did not work hard after death! As long as they lived hard, worked hard, and gained freedom and money, there was no difference between this life and their previous, and they had six hours more ghost time than ordinary people!


    A staff meeting!


    The proprietor ghosts all had the same belief in their hearts¡ª¡ª


    Working ghosts! Fighting!


    After Lu Qin hit a wall with the bracelet ghost, she also hit a wall with the ice cream ghost. The ice cream ghost didn''t even accept the ice cream she took out from the small freezer. It just glanced at her ice cream, slammed the door arrogantly, and tossed out¡ª


    "No, I''ll eat ice cream by my own ability!"


    In order to prevent the ice cream from melting, Lu Qin worked hard to find a small smart freezer that could be carried, and carefully held the ice cream all the way, fearing that it would melt.


    But now this ice cream ghost dismissed her with a single word and said that she would get it with her own efforts.


    Simply sick!


    Easy mode off, hard mode on. How could a mere ghost do that?


    Lu Qin was so angry that she vomited blood.


    At this time, Principal Wang was also so angry that he vomited blood. He called the female teacher and asked, "Didn''t you give me the answer?"


    The female teacher said, "Lin Xinghe has changed the wishes of all the owners. The reference answers are now impossible to analyze."


    ...She was really helpless.


    Who would have thought that Lin Xinghe could change all the answers to the exam questions by herself!


    Principal Wang was a little irritable. The delinquent student turned out to be a little difficult to deal with. He asked in a deep voice, "If she changed the answers, can''t you tell the students the new answers?"


    The female teacher coughed lightly and said, "But..."


    Seeing the hesitant expression of the female teacher, Principal Wang became even more angry and said, "There are no buts. Hurry up and reveal the new answer to the students and end this annoying examination room as soon as possible."


    As soon as the female teacher heard this, she knew that Principal Wang didn''t pay much attention to Lin Xinghe''s livestream. She reminded him tactfully, "Principal, their wishes are not easy to achieve now..."


    Principal Wang asked, "What wishes?"


    The female teacher said, "Basically, they want to work well for Lin Xinghe, advance their studies and get raises, in order to reach the pinnacles of their ghost lives!"


    Principal Wang went silent.


    The female teacher asked tentatively, "I can let the undercover students work for the ghosts to help them reach the pinnacle faster?"


    Principal Wang suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Asking his undercover agents to work for the ghosts, who worked for Lin Xinghe, was almost the same as him working for Lin Xinghe?


    Seeing that Principal Wang''s expression became more ugly, the female teacher comforted, "Principal Wang, I think we still have an advantage in this examination room. Although the ghosts¡¯ wishes have changed, as long as there are wishes, they will be fulfilled one day. Let Lin Xinghe do all these preparations. When the time comes, our undercover students can go take the credit."


    Principal Wang went silent.


    The female teacher knew that Principal Wang agreed with this proposal.


    Principal Wang suddenly asked, "Have you calculated the success rate of Plan B?"


    The female teacher said, "Without Xie Wuan, Rudolph, Fu Zhou, and the others, the success rate given by the system is 90%. But Lin Xinghe has teamed up with them. Xie Wuan can attack and defend, Rudolph''s defense value is close to max, and even if they make mistakes, Fu Zhou can make up for it. With such a team, if our people want to make a sneak attack, the probability of success is only 1%."


    Principal Wang: "..."


    The female teacher sincerely suggested, "So I think the most urgent task is to let Lin Xinghe leave the test room and arrange for her to enter the random test room with our people. Although she has a monopoly on the answers now, I think we still have a chance.¡±

    At this moment, Lin Xinghe was still in the parking lot on the second basement floor. After the staff meeting, she remembered the existence of Deng Haotian and Manager An and asked Fu Zhou to remove the barrier.


    Xie Wuan also undid the Immortal Binding Ropes.


    The two ordinary humans hugged themselves and shivered.


    Deng Haotian: "Immortal cultivators, please let me go."


    Manager An: "I''m deaf and blind. I don''t know anything. I just had a long, long dream today."


    Lin Xinghe smiled at them, her voice still sweet and soft, and said, "Don''t be afraid, it''s fate that everyone met here. How was my staff meeting?"


    Deng Haotian and Manager An said in unison, "Very good."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Are you willing to be a property manager and real estate agent with a sky-high salary for the rest of your life? If you work with me, we can build the most luxurious horror theme park in the country together!"


    To be honest, Deng Haotian and Manager An listened to the staff meeting all night, and in fact there were already waves in their hearts.


    The ghosts worked so hard, how could they not work hard!


    So much so that they were forcibly floating in the air, but it didn''t affect them at all in arranging their future career plans!


    They felt that Lin Xinghe''s idea was bold and promising.


    There were many similar projects in the country, such as large horror theme parks and small horror secret rooms, all of which had ghost NPCs played by real people, attracting many audiences who liked horror elements.


    No amount of terror could compare to Fujin Community, where there were all genuine ghosts.


    Yesterday, after twelve o''clock, those ghosts took their death forms and were already quite scary.


    Deng Haotian had glanced at them slightly and was trembling with fear.


    After hearing what Lin Xinghe said, Deng Haotian immediately changed his point of view. The ghosts in front of them weren¡¯t scary, they were just business opportunities, money, the taste of wealth!


    Deng Haotian was so greedy!


    So now, as soon as Lin Xinghe threw out the olive branch, Deng Haotian changed his words, "Boss, I''d like to be on your side!"


    Manager An followed closely and said loudly, "Boss, I am also willing!"


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand and said, "Welcome to our team."


    She was not an original inhabitant of this world, and no one knew this world better than the NPCs themselves. If she wanted to quickly build a huge horror theme park, she needed an original inhabitant of the novel world. Deng Haotian was a real estate agent. Although he was an intermediary, as a real estate agent, he could draw a large number of people to come here to see the house, and he had a lot of resources. And Manager An was brave enough to keep working with the ghosts and even call them up one by one.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the time. It was already three in the morning.


    She said to Deng Haotian and Manager An: "It''s getting late, you guys head back first. Let me add your contact information, and tomorrow we can discuss the details of the park as well as the treatment of the employees."


    After Deng Haotian and Manager An left, only Lin Xinghe¡¯s team was left in the parking lot.


    Jiuge ate too much and felt that it was harmful to his health, which would speed up his hair loss. He took out a bottle of digestion magic potion from his storage ring.


    A bottle of medicine in his stomach instantly flattened the slight bulge of his abdomen.


    Jiuge took out a few bottles and handed them to the people around him, asking warmly, "Do you want some? Digestive help."


    Xie Wuan showed out the medicinal pill in his palm and said, "I have it."


    Xiao Xue Ji happily took a bottle.


    Fu Zhou was a person who liked to worry, so he also took a bottle of digestion magic potion and asked Lin Xinghe while drinking it, "Are we actually building some horror theme amusement entertainment park community or whatever?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes."


    Fu Zhou asked, "Does this have anything to do with the exam prompt?"


    Lin Xinghe replied, "The prompt is called the blooming of the seeds of hell. No one knows what the seeds of hell are, let alone the blooming of them. The only thing that can be sure is that the answer lies in these fifty owners. Now they want to work for me, and I am their boss. Don''t you think it''s great to have fifty answers in your hands? In other words, it''s a competitive exam room now. As long as the answers don''t come out, we will become the masters of this examination room, and we will have the final say when we want to end it.¡±


    ¡¾...Other than fucking awesome, I have nothing to say. ¡¿


    ¡¾In other words, the SL can abuse the loopholes of the competitive exam room and live there for a lifetime! No monthly points will be deducted! ¡¿


    ¡¾The school will go to be crazy when they hear about it, hahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾School: No, you can''t be the master, I am the one who wrote the question! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is really testing the edge of the school''s patience hahahaha. ¡¿

 CH 89.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 89.1


    The full screen of ¡°hahahahaha¡±s made the proctors frown in unison.


    It was late at night in the school at this time, and Principal Wang had already gone to bed.


    The female teacher opened a tube of energizing potion, swallowed it, propped up her eyelids, and stared at Lin Xinghe''s livestream. Lin Xinghe''s bold speech gave the female teacher a headache.


    Fortunately, Principal Wang was not there.


    No one was babbling in her ears. The female teacher felt that her ears were clean and she had more space to think about how to solve this problem.


    The female teacher pondered for a moment, but she still didn''t believe in evil, and gave the undercover students an order to help the proprietor ghosts in a roundabout way and rush in front of Lin Xinghe to fulfill the new wishes of the proprietor ghosts.


    ...Was it just Lin Xinghe who could talk?


    ...No, the undercover students could too.


    This was called giving someone a taste of their own medicine!


    Lin Xinghe felt that if she wanted to do something, she had to do it in the biggest and most serious way. With years of experience in modern society, Lin Xinghe consulted some entrepreneurial consultants and spent a sum of money to register a company brand.


    The location of the company was easy to manage. Fujin Garden was a residential and commercial complex. She casually provided the address of a suite and the name of the company, and then sent someone to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to go through the process.


    In Lin Xinghe''s original world, it usually took ten to fifteen working days to register a company. Unexpectedly, Deng Haotian had connections and invited the person in charge of the Industry and Commerce Bureau to have a meal and thus, the complicated process was simplified. After jumping through the legal hoops, Lin Xinghe''s The Flames of the Stars Co., Ltd. was established in half a day.


    As the saying goes, money could make ghosts run the mill. Lin Xinghe invited professionals to formulate rules and regulations for the company and be responsible for all trivial things, so that she could think about how to make her horror theme park the best one over.


    In order to brainstorm ideas, Lin Xinghe also called all the ghost employees to hold a meeting.


    Since there was no secretary currently invited, Manager An temporarily acted as Lin Xinghe''s assistant, recording the good ideas at the meeting. To tell the truth, two days ago, he would never have believed that he would one day have a meeting with a group of ghosts to discuss policies for a horror theme park.


    The ghost employees spoke actively and were willing to cooperate with the boss to transform their homes and create a more realistic horror atmosphere.


    The atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious.


    The livestream audience was stunned for a while. Lin Xinghe turned an originally gorey, bloody slaughterfield into a budding enterprise with enthusiastic employees.


    The audience watched with relish.


    After the meeting, Lin Xinghe started to renovate Fujin Garden.


    After all, Fujin Garden looked like an ordinary community now. However, Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t plan to make big changes. The haunted legend of Fujin Garden itself was scary enough, and could preemptively mess with the psyche of tourists who came to visit.


    Lin Xinghe had no experience in this area. After consulting Manager An, she realized that if she wanted to renovate the public areas in the community, she needed the signature of 50% of the owners of the owner''s committee and approval from the relevant departments of the Urban Management Bureau.


    There was no problem with the owners. Lin Xinghe could represent half of the owners, not to mention that the remaining owners were all working for her, gearing up to become excellent ghost employees.


    Deng Haotian said that at the Urban Management Bureau, he could help with his contacts.


    Lin Xinghe knew that he had his own set of skills in this area and said generously, "If you need money, just spend it, and I will reimburse you."


    Fu Zhou saw that Lin Xinghe''s processes and actions were so professional, he asked doubtfully, "Were you really an actor in the previous world?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "What else could I be?"


    Fu Zhou: "The modern department is really scary, right, Jiuge?"


    Jiuge didn''t say a word, he was scratching and petting Xiao Xue Ji''s head.


    Fu Zhou glanced at Xie Wuan.


    He originally thought that this same department boss was not easy to get along with, but he didn''t expect that after entering the examination room, he was relatively easy to talk to and not particularly cruel. After entering the examination room, Fu Zhou could clearly feel Xie Wuan''s absentmindedness.


    He was always imperceptibly observing the surroundings. If Fu Zhou hadn''t been paying close attention to Xie Wuan all the time, he wouldn''t have noticed the other¡¯s absentmindedness.


    Fu Zhou didn''t know what the boss was so absentminded about.


    Now this examination room could be said to be without the slightest difficulty. As long as they wanted to, they could end the examination room casually. Although the exam prompt was still not fully understood, Fu Zhou had great trust in Lin Xinghe. As long as Lin Xinghe put her mind to it, there was nothing she couldn''t do!

 CH 89.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 89.2


    What Fu Zhou could perceive, Lin Xinghe, who has always been attentive, was of course aware of, not to mention that she could hear Xie Wuan''s inner voice.


    When he was absentminded, a few words would pop up in his heart every once in a while¡ª


    "Why haven''t the undercover students acted up?"


    "Could it be that they are afraid of my illustrious self?"


    "It''s not like how the school used to do things..."


    "Why exactly?"


    But now Lin Xinghe heard a new voice in Xie Wuan''s heart.


    "Those two have good strength, and together they can fight against my illustrious self..."


    "I haven''t had a hearty battle for a long time..."


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    The two people he spoke of were obviously the two freshmen...


    She glanced at Xie Wuan imperceptibly.


    ...It seemed that Xie Wuan knew the school''s routines and maybe also the core of the school''s examination rooms. Why did he stay in the school?


    Lin Xinghe''s inner conjectures were only conjectures, and she didn''t show it outwardly.


    After all, this was Xie Wuan''s private matter, and they were not familiar enough for her to ask such personal questions. But thanks to Xie Wuan''s voice, she was sure that the two freshmen were school agents.


    "Lin Xinghe is peeking at my illustrious self."


    "Why is she peeking at me?"


    "Is she thinking about this esteemed one¡¯s gold mine..."


    "Her eyes light up when she sees gold..."


    "What''s so good about that yellow thing... tacky."


    The misunderstood Lin Xinghe quickly looked away, but unexpectedly heard Xie Wuan¡¯s heart say¡ª


    "Forget it, Lin Xinghe is indeed a mortal. Ordinary people think about gold as much as immortal cultivators think about superior immortal methods."


    "It''s quite an improvement as well."


    Lin Xinghe was very used to Xie Wuan''s self-questioning and self-answering, but after hearing Xie Wuan''s praise of her, she felt a little embarrassed.


    And at this time, she heard -


    "Fu Zhou is weird and has been peeking at my illustrious self..."


    "I suppose it makes sense. This esteemed one is a role model for all of the cultivating world. Placed in any Xianxia world, Fu Zhou would not even be worthy of being a sweeping boy of my illustrious self..."


    Lin Xinghe automatically blocked out these words.


    ...She almost forgot Xianjun was a chatterbox and said a lot of random things.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Are you guys going to tour this community with me? I''m going to see if there are any clues about the seeds of hell, and see what specific changes can be made."


    Xie Wuan replied, "Go ahead, I''ll go elsewhere to find clues. When there is news, we can reconvene."


    Jiuge and Fu Zhou also planned to find clues.


    All four of them were staying in the penthouse suite on the top floor.


    Lin Xinghe took Xiao Xue Ji downstairs first.


    She had just walked a few steps when she heard Xie Wuan''s voice again¡ª¡ª


    "She¡¯s isolated now, so the school should start acting up..."


    Lin Xinghe immediately understood what Xie Wuan was thinking about, and at the same time she was very cooperative. If Xie Wuan could kill the two freshmen who wanted to kill her, she would be much safer in this exam room.


    She led Xiao Xue Ji to the gate of the community.


    The community was not large, and the most striking place was the entrance.


    If the two freshmen wanted to kill her, here was their best chance.


    Things went as predicted.


    Just as Lin Xinghe appeared at the gate of the community, a gust of wind rushed toward her face.


    Her body turned to one side subconsciously.


    Xiao Xue Ji reacted very quickly, immediately turning into a huge bird and flying towards the place where the wind was rising. Lin Xinghe dodged the wind, but before she could stand firm, a huge bolt of lightning slammed down from the sky.


    A transparent cover appeared over the top of her head, blocking the lightning.


    Xie Wuan''s figure had already flashed out, streaking toward the origin of the thunder with his sword unsheathed. He caught up to the flying bird, sending Xiao Xue Ji to Lin Xinghe''s side with a gust of wind.


    This was the first time Xiao Xue Ji saw such a battle, her eyes were fixed to it.


    After a while, she realized that something was wrong with her mother and turned to look at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe looked up at the sky, and her whole body was a little stunned.


    Xiao Xue Ji''s dark eyes blinked. She gently grabbed Lin Xinghe''s hand, and shouted, "Mommy."


    Lin Xinghe came back to her senses, took Xiao Xue Ji''s hand, and asked, "Are you injured?"


    Xiao Xue Ji shook her head.


    Lin Xinghe immediately sent a message to Jiuge and Fu Zhou.


    The community was not big, and the movement at the door had long caught the attention of Jiuge and Fu Zhou. Before her message was sent, Jiuge and Fu Zhou had already arrived. Seeing several figures in the air fighting so hard, Jiuge immediately stepped forward to support Xie Wuan.


    Fu Zhou stayed behind and set up the barrier to protect Lin Xinghe.


    As soon as Jiuge''s support arrived, the freshmen who were already at a disadvantage got even worse. Within three rounds, they were completely unable to fight back.


    Xie Wuan was about to kill them directly, but he heard Lin Xinghe say, "Don''t kill them yet! I have a question to ask them!"


    Xie Wuan stopped abruptly.


    Lin Xinghe said to Fu Zhou, "Can you barricade the scene?"


    Fu Zhou signaled no problem.


    Lin Xinghe took out her magic broom and rode it into the sky.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the two freshmen in Xie Wuan¡¯s control.


    Xie Wuan asked, "What''s the purpose of keeping them?"


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Which one has thunder magic?"


    Jiuge said, "The one on the right."


    Lin Xinghe stared at him intently.


    After a while, she suddenly asked, "Can you strike me with lightning again?"


    Jiuge: "..."


    The livestream audience was in the same mood as Jiuge. They spammed countless question marks.

 CH 90.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 90.1


    Not only did the livestream audience have question marks on their faces, but even the freshman with thunder magic, Rick, looked at Lin Xinghe with the expression "Are you mentally retarded?"


    Lin Xinghe said solemnly, "Your lightning strikes are so beautiful! Brother! Would you join my company? Come and contribute to Fujin Garden Community! You can be a set designer for our company!"


    Rick: "You''re sick."


    Rick wanted to use magic, but he was helplessly surrounded by enchantments and bound by Xie Wuan''s immortal binding rope. Only a little bit of thunder crackled out of his knuckles, and finally nothing happened.


    Roddy, the fantasy freshman with dual-type magic and stealth skills next to Rick, was also trapped, and he looked at Xie Wuan with a heavy gaze.


    Xie Wuan waved his hand, covered Roddy with a cloth bag, and glanced at Lin Xinghe again.


    Lin Xinghe understood what he meant and said, "Let''s keep them first... Maybe they will be useful. Let''s find a place to store them and put a barrier around them?"


    Lin Xinghe consulted Xie Wuan, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou''s opinions.


    Jiuge said, "I don''t have any opinion."


    Fu Zhou: "If you can ensure your safety, it''s good to keep them, maybe you can use them."


    Xie Wuan originally wanted to cleanly get rid of them, but seeing Lin Xinghe, he knew she had other ideas. He had watched Lin Xinghe''s livestream and had also been in the same exam room as her. He knew that she was actually very good at torturing people, and his murderous intentions disappeared immediately.


    He said: "Keep them, it isn¡¯t too troublesome."


    When the words fell, Xie Wuan directly stuffed the two into his personal space.


    Xie Wuan''s livestream chat was very lively.


    ¡¾That''s it? ¡¿


    ¡¾That''s it? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾Boss, you have changed! You used to kill them directly! If it was before, Rick and Roddy would not have survived for ten seconds! ¡¿


    ¡¾I seriously doubt that the video of Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan in the bathroom is not fake! ¡¿


    ¡¾Damn! Xie Wuan, you are a boss! You are the role model of our xianxia department! How did you change from a battle channel to a daily love channel! You are now living like Xiao Xue Ji''s father! And Lin Xinghe¡¯s husband! ¡¿


    ¡¾Love to see or not! I just like to see such down-to-earth bosses, it''s much more interesting than Xie Wuan before! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe fighting! Get the boss soon! Do unspeakable things in the toilet! ¡¿


    Xie Wuan in the exam room certainly didn''t know the content of the chat. He entered his personal space and placed Rick and Roddy in a reinforced cage, and inspected his figurines once before leaving the portable space. When he came out, he saw that Lin Xinghe was still riding a magic broom floating in the air, while Fu Zhou and Rudolph were both on the ground.


    Xie Wuan looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe was a little absentminded, and when she came back to his senses, she met Xie Wuan''s gaze.


    She frowned at him and said, "I''m waiting for you, are Rick and Roddy locked up?"


    Xie Wuan hm-ed softly.


    His heart-


    "She''s actually waiting for me?"


    "She''s actually waiting for me!"


    "She''s actually waiting for me."


    "She''s actually waiting for me..."


    "She''s waiting for me."


    Lin Xinghe was not actually waiting for Xie Wuan, she was just a little distracted.


    Distracted because of Rick.


    To be precise, she was distracted because of Rick''s lightning.


    Just when the lightning fell, Xie Wuan''s magic blocked it at the critical moment. She could faintly smell a burnt smell.


    It reminded her of the lightning that killed her.


    Just when she received the Best Actress Award and walked out of the awards ceremony, she was struck to death by an incoming bolt of lightning. It happened so fast that before she could react, she had already arrived at the gate of the villain school.


    When she thought about it, it still felt a little unreal.


    Especially the lightning that killed her. It was a painless death.


    But just when the lightning from Rick fell, she clearly felt the natural power, and the hair on her body stood up, especially the hair on her arms. There was also a mild tingle from the electric current and a slight pop.


    It was not until Xie Wuan''s magic appeared that all these symptoms disappeared.


    But in her original world, before she was struck by lightning, she could be sure of one thing. She had no symptoms, and she didn''t feel any pain after being struck. All she knew was that she felt scorched all over her body only after she was already in the state of a soul body. She only glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, and then there was a dazzling white light.

 CH 90.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 90.2


    Logically speaking, if she were really struck by lightning, there would be no reason for it to feel so unfamiliar this time.


    This made Lin Xinghe question one thing¡ª in her original world, was she really dead?


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe''s eyes fell on the sunflower fountain at the entrance of the community. When she passed by before, she was looking up and could only see the petals of the sunflower, but now that she was flying in midair on a magic broom, she was looking down.


    From this angle, she could clearly see the stamens of the sunflower sculpture, which made grids.


    At this moment, Xie Wuan suddenly asked her, "What are you looking at?"


    Lin Xinghe pointed to the fountain, "Do you think there is something in this fountain? But the water in the fountain blocks the bottom, so I can''t see it clearly..."


    Xie Wuan said calmly, "It''s a trivial matter, this illustrious one can fix it as easy as..."


    Lin Xinghe: "I..."


    She wanted to say that there was no need to trouble him. There was a switch below, and when the water was turned off, it would stop coming out.


    Unexpectedly, Xie Wuan''s inner voice sounded¡ª


    "For the sake of Lin Xinghe having waited for my illustrious self, I¡¯ll help her."


    "Just freezing the fountain water can''t show the superb magic of my illustrious self..."


    At this time, Lin Xinghe saw Xie Wuan flick his finger, and the water from the fountain rose into the air, frozen in midair, and turned into a water phoenix. The phoenix''s feathers were entwined with rainbows, reflecting a splendid brilliance in the sun.


    Lin Xinghe''s expression was a little dull.


    Xie Wuan''s heart¡ª¡ª


    "...Oh? Is it not gorgeous enough? Then let''s have an auspicious dragon above the nine heavens."


    Lin Xinghe hurriedly used her life''s acting skills. She was shocked and full of surprise and then was shocked some more. She said, "Xianjun, this phoenix is


    Xie Wuan didn''t continue to build a water dragon.


    Lin Xinghe quickly flew to the top of the sunflower.


    She looked down and counted.


    She said to Xie Wuan, "There are fifty grids here. It shouldn''t be a coincidence. Seeds of hell, seeds correspond to plants, and sunflowers are also plants. Maybe the title has something to do with sunflowers."


    The two stayed in the air for a long time, so Fu Zhou and Jiuge also flew up.


    Fu Zhou was about to comment on the water phoenix in midair, but Lin Xinghe immediately said, "I found a new clue. Look at this sunflower fountain, there are fifty grids on it."


    Fu Zhou''s train of thought was interrupted and he said, "Corresponding to fifty proprietor ghosts?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "It''s possible."


    At this time, Fu Zhou''s eyebrows moved slightly, and he said, "There is someone outside the barrier who wants to come in, it''s Deng Haotian."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Then let''s go down, he probably came back from the Urban Management Bureau..."


    The four went down.


    Fu Zhou withdrew the barrier.


    Deng Haotian just felt that he was hitting a wall again and again. He could not enter the community even after walking for a long time. He kept crossing the same places again and again. Before putting everything aside, he might still have been afraid, but now that he had fifty business partners who were ghost colleagues, he became more courageous, shouting, "We are of a single people! Don''t mess with me! My colleagues and I are colleagues! One family!"


    When the voice fell, the wall disappeared.


    Deng Haotian walked for a while before seeing Lin Xinghe and the others.


    He told Lin Xinghe about the wall.


    Fu Zhou said, "I did it."


    Deng Haotian was in awe, and he was even less afraid of the ghosts in his heart. He has fifty ghost colleagues and there are several powerful masters on top of them. No matter what ghosts he encountered in the future, he would not be afraid.


    Lin Xinghe asked, "How have the negotiations gone? Can we start the renovation?"


    Deng Haotian looked a little embarrassed, and said, "It''s not impossible... Director Li of the Forestry Bureau bought a house with me before. Director Li¡¯s son had a meal with someone from the Urban Management Bureau. I had a meal. I couldn''t go in, so I just waited outside the door. Director Li told me that the Urban Management Bureau said that the community can be changed at will, but the nature of the houses cannot be changed. This kind of house can''t be demolished and used as a shopping mall or something..."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "That is no problem."


    Deng Haotian said, "But the Urban Management Bureau has required that the fountain at the entrance of Fujin Garden cannot be changed."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "Why not?"


    Deng Haotian said, "I don''t know either. They just said that the fountain should not be moved or torn down. Everything else is alright."


    Lin Xinghe''s eyes brightened slightly.


    It was coming!


    The more they didn¡¯t let something change, the more suspicious it was!

 CH 91.1

    Lin Xinghe asked Deng Haotian, ¡°Who is the director of the Urban Management Bureau?¡±


    Deng Haotian said, ¡°Zhang Minhai.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Where does he live?¡±


    Deng Haotian asked, ¡°Boss, do you want to invite Director Zhang for dinner? I can help you¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan said: ¡°There is no need for that kind of trouble. Call Zhang Minhai, do a little magic. He will say everything he knows, and he will forget everything he said afterward.¡±


    Deng Haotian: ¡­What kind of illegal operation was this!


    Jiuge agreed.


    Fu Zhou also felt that it was simple and straightforward.


    The two nodded in succession, and each gave their own ideas.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay to force him to tell the truth.¡±


    ¡°Actually, you can hang Zhang Minhai up and beat him without using magic, and he will say everything he knows.¡±


    Deng Haotian: What kind of criminal gang was this!


    Fortunately, there was also a good citizen who obeyed the laws of modern society. Lin Xinghe coughed lightly and said, ¡°I think we can be a little more gentle, and if I use a method more common to this place, maybe I can explore more things¡­ ¡­¡±


    When Deng Haotian heard this, he was even more convinced of his inner thoughts¡ª¡ª


    The bosses were indeed the masters of the world!


    Mixing with bosses was always right!


    His eyes had always been accurate.


    Among these bosses, the most threatening one was Boss Xie. He didn¡¯t talk much, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was evident that he was an expert who was not bound by secular rules. Boss Jiu and Boss Fu were more easygoing, especially Boss Jiu, who held a thermos cup full of health tea all day long. As for Boss Lin, she seemed harmless and didn¡¯t have the immortal aura of the others. She was quite down-to-earth and communicated the best.


    However, just as Deng Haotian thought this, he saw Lin Xinghe calling out Xiaowan in the community.


    Xiaowan: ¡°Hello, boss!¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked with concern, ¡°Do you usually have any social interactions?¡±


    Xiaowan said: ¡°I have a lot of ghost connections. The neighbors upstairs and downstairs have a good relationship with me! I host all the private parties here.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Do you know any ghosts outside the community?¡±


    Xiaowan said, ¡°I know some, does the boss want to hire more ghost employees?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°Yes, please help me find some connections.¡±


    Soon, Xiaowan found ghost friend A, ghost friend B, and ghost friend C.


    Xiaowan: ¡°My boss, surnamed Lin, wants to ask you to do something.¡±


    Lin Xinghe reported Director Zhang¡¯s name and address and asked, ¡°Do you know the process of haunting? Go and haunt this person, but be careful to not scare him to death. When you¡¯re haunting him, be sure to slip my name in. I¡¯ll give you the script later¡±


    Ghost friends A, B and C said, ¡°No problem.¡±


    Ghost friends A, B and C went to Zhang Minhai¡¯s house that night, tried their best to make a fuss, and at the end, they complained about ghost hunters. Then, they ranked the strongest ghost hunters and finally mentioned Lin Xinghe with fear in their voices.


    They patted their own chests and left.


    The next morning, Lin Xinghe was invited to Zhang Minhai¡¯s house.


    Deng Haotian, who witnessed everything: ¡­He was wrong, this was completely a criminal gang!


    Lin Xinghe pretended to exorcise Zhang Minhai, and finally tied up the ghost friends A, B and C together. These ghosts were actually super dramatic. Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t even tell them to do anything, but they were already cooperating and screaming in pain. Ghost friend B gnashed his teeth while looking at Zhang Minhai and said bitterly, ¡°You actually found her!¡±


    Ghost Friend A: ¡°Ah, is this the end of my ghost life?¡±


    Ghost Friend B: ¡°If I had known that Zhang Minhai would invite Ghost Hunter Lin to come over, even if I die again, I wouldn¡¯t provoke him!¡±


    Lin Xinghe coughed lightly.


    Ghost friends A, B, and C stopped talking, rolled their eyes back into their heads, and fainted on the ground.


    Lin Xinghe asked Fu Zhou to take them away.


    Zhang Minhai was thoroughly convinced. He originally thought Ghost Hunter Lin would be one of those horse doctor voodoo nonsense scammers, but he didn¡¯t expect her to be really powerful.


    Lin Xinghe handed out her business card in a timely manner.


    Zhang Minhai let out a long sigh and revealed his tone.


    ¡°Ghost Hunter Lin, you have such strong abilities. Sooner or later, you will be scouted by special departments. It doesn¡¯t matter if I reveal it to you in advance. Our country has a special department that deals with ghosts and other things that cannot be explained by science.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Oh? What does this have to do with the Sunflower Fountain?¡±


    Zhang Minhai looked down at the company address on Lin Xinghe¡¯s business card and said, ¡°Ghost Hunter Lin, you are working in Fujin Garden. You must know about the haunting of Fujin Garden. There was a ghost there once, and after midnight, red liquid would seep out from the ground. The workers on the construction site would fall ill for no reason, and the project could not be carried out. Later, a Feng Shui master was invited to build a sunflower fountain at the gate of the community. These strange phenomena disappeared. That Feng Shui master was an employee of the special department of the state¡­¡±


    Zhang Minhai paused, lowered his voice and said, ¡°Although the land is owned by the state, that piece of land is different. That piece of land recognizes its owner, and the Feng Shui master said that that piece of land is waiting for its owner.¡±

 CH 91.2

    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Is the sunflower fountain its owner?¡±


    Zhang Minhai said, ¡°No, the owner hasn¡¯t appeared yet. The Feng Shui master borrowed the blindfolding method to temporarily stabilize the piece of land. The state department was also in a hurry, and the blindfold method isn¡¯t sustainable. The whole place was too dangerous. Therefore, the ghosts inside Fujin Garden are ignored by the department. The people living in it are all ghosts. Even if it were dangerous, it would not affect the living.¡±


    Zhang Minhai looked at Lin Xinghe up and down and said, ¡°Ghost Hunter Lin lives in Fujin Garden now. With your ability, maybe there is a way to solve the problem.¡±


    When Lin Xinghe heard this, several points became clear.


    With such a setting, the owner of that piece of land was most likely the protagonist of this world. Even if they were not the main character, they would at least be a prominent character who occupied a large role in this world.


    She had to find this person and prove her speculation.


    But how could she find them?


    While Lin Xinghe was exploring the plot, all the owners and ghosts of Fujin Garden were working diligently.


    Xiaowan was the most hardworking one in the group of ghost employees.


    She died in a car accident.


    To create the atmosphere of the car accident, she remodeled the floors of her home into sidewalks and roads. She was about to create a terrifying car accident scene theme in her own home by truly restoring the scene of the car accident. She would take tourists to experience it when they came in, and then she would float out as a ghost, run after them, and take them to experience the most thrilling and exciting experiences.


    When Xiaowan applied for this theme, she especially emphasized the central idea.


    She said, ¡°We must warn the living people now. When crossing the road, they must watch and listen to all directions. Never look at their phones when they cross the street. Safety is the first priority!¡±


    Xiaowan¡¯s house was remodeled very quickly.


    She had a helper¡ªa zealous living woman.


    ¡°Anything else to do?¡± Lu Qin asked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.


    Xiaowan said, ¡°The plasma on the ground is too fake, Miss Lu, I think more realistic blood is needed. It would be great if there were a red liquid with a bloody smell. We need a lot of it, and it has to be sprinkled here and on the walls. Also, it would be even better if I could get a partition here, I think this is where I should hide¡­I can jump out of the closet.¡±


    As she said this, Xiaowan¡¯s eyes shone with a strange light.


    Lu Qin took a deep breath, endured it, squeezed a smile, and said, ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll help you. Although we have different paths, I think we have a special affinity, don¡¯t you?¡±


    Xiaowan said, ¡°Yes, we have a special relationship. You are the most enthusiastic person I have ever met. Miss Lu, you will definitely have a good reward.¡±


    After getting these words from an important NPC, Lu Qin felt that she could hold on for a while.


    She said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it for you tonight! Blood, right! Partition, right!¡±


    Xiaowan nodded.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Miss Lu, thank you so much.¡±


    The female teacher pointed at Lu Qin and said to Principal Wang, who had just come over, ¡°Our students are quite clever. She has quickly gained the favor of one of the proprietor owners, and when her wish is fulfilled, our students will also pass the test. Although Lin Xinghe changed the answer to the exam questions, the exam room is still in progress. We can thoroughly observe all NPCs in the exam room, and can provide timely and reliable information and guidance for undercover students at any time. This is what Lin Xinghe herself did.¡±


    Principal Wang nodded with satisfaction, and pulled out Rick¡¯s livestream.


    The female teacher coughed lightly and said, ¡°Rick¡­ he¡­¡±


    Before she could finish speaking, Principal Wang¡¯s expression changed.


    Rick and Roddy were both in Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space, and the two were dozing off.


    The number of viewers in the livestream was very low.


    The chat messages were all about Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space.


    Principal Wang asked, ¡°What happened to them?¡±


    The female teacher said, ¡°They thought that Lin Xinghe was alone, and they attacked her. They were caught by Xie Wuan. Rudolph and Fu Zhou also joined the battle, and they were defeated.¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s expression turned a little worse.


    The female teacher hurriedly said, ¡°They aren¡¯t dead yet. They can still be saved, and because they are in Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space, we can also try to find the weaknesses of his personal space. Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space has always been a hidden danger, so if we can find weaknesses, this exam is not a loss¡­¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s expression looked a little better, and he went to watch Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream again.


    Lin Xinghe was eating with Zhang Minhai at this time. The table was full of dishes, and the two of them were chatting about a lot of things, including the awaited owner of the Fujin Garden.


    The female teacher hurriedly said, ¡°Principal Wang, don¡¯t worry, Lin Xinghe can¡¯t find the protagonist even if she digs three feet into the ground. I specially chose this exam room because the story timeline is happening well before the protagonist was born¡­¡±


    Principal Wang showed a rare smile and said, ¡°Well done.¡±


    The female teacher breathed a sigh of relief.

 CH 92.1

    Lin Xinghe and her team returned to Fujin Garden.


    Lin Xinghe walked to the sunflower fountain and looked up.


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°The fifty proprietor ghosts are related to the prompt, and there are exactly fifty answers. There is no need to find the owner of this land, right?¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, she looked at Xie Wuan and asked tentatively, ¡°Xianjun, what do you think?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Destroy the fountain, this esteemed one wants to see what will happen.¡±


    But he was saying in his heart, ¡°Lin Xinghe is so courageous that she dares to test my illustrious self. This esteemed one will destroy the fountain. Let¡¯s see what she will do¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe felt that Xie Wuan was very experienced in exam rooms and had stayed afloat in school, so he must have had some knowledge, but she didn¡¯t expect him to think that she was testing him.


    Of course the fountain could not be destroyed.


    She was about to stop him when she heard Xie Wuan say in her heart¡ª


    ¡°¡­Forget it, let¡¯s not destroy it, lest she think that this esteemed one is only an immortal who knows violence.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just that everything is being livestreamed now, so it¡¯s inconvenient to tell her what I think ¡­¡±


    ¡°The school is cunning, and Lin Xinghe publicly exposed the operations of the school¡¯s examination room. The main character of this examination room will not appear¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was overjoyed.


    It was exactly what she thought!


    Xie Wuan thought so too!


    Lin Xinghe hurriedly stopped and said, ¡°Xianjun, don¡¯t destroy it, I think this sunflower fountain is related to the test question. The test question is called the blooming of the seeds of hell. There are fifty grids on the sunflower fountain, and the sunflower is a flower. If this fountain is destroyed, the examination room may be over. If it is over, the next examination room might not go as well for us.¡±


    Fu Zhou did not expect this and immediately said, ¡°Then we have to protect this fountain, lest some candidates want to drag us down with them.¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°Yes, although it¡¯s just a guess, but just in case, we should keep it in one piece for now. As for the owner of this piece of land, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any need to rush to find them. They will appear when they should appear¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan said lightly, ¡°Alright.¡±


    Fu Zhou immediately set up a barrier enchantment.


    Jiuge took out a handful of fallen hairs from his storage ring, weaved a hair net, and used an invisibility magic potion to wrap it around the sunflower as an inner enchantment.


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°If your guess is correct, are we supposed to grow these sunflowers? Or are the sunflowers just seeds, and we put the ghosts into the grid and it will bloom? Is it something like that?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°If my guess is correct, it should be close to that.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°Killing the fifty proprietor ghosts?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Most likely not.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°What is it then?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. Let¡¯s explore some more.¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew it.


    The spies she placed in various places had gathered good intel.


    The classmates who were monitoring Lu Qin told Lin Xinghe about Lu Qin¡¯s strange behavior.


    After entering the examination room, most of the students thought they should  directly kill the NPCs and get things. But Lu Qin didn¡¯t do that, instead going straight to help Xiaowan.


    Many of Lu Qin¡¯s actions after entering the examination room were somewhat inexplicable, as if she already knew what to do.


    Lin Xinghe was sure that Lu Qin was an undercover agent sent by the school.


    From Lu Qin¡¯s actions, it could be inferred that the answers to the prompts could be obtained without killing the ghosts. The goal was definitely to help them fulfill their last wishes.


    That¡¯s why Lu Qin helped Xiaowan and the other ghosts so enthusiastically.


    However, Lin Xinghe could¡¯t tell Fu Zhou now. She would have to keep quiet and play dumb, so that Lu Qin could make more mistakes and make it easier for her to predict the school¡¯s next plan.


    Her goal in this exam room was not to take first place, nor to attract people to watch her stream.


    Her goal was to dig out the complete story line of this exam room world, verify her own speculation, control the exam room, and try to find out how exactly the exam rooms worked.


    When she chose to publish the contents of the mermaid¡¯s journal, her enemies were no longer other candidates, but the school.


    Lin Xinghe deliberately sighed and said, ¡°I still have to be careful. We should wait, since we don¡¯t have the whole picture yet. Let¡¯s make money first and build our theme park to stabilize the ghosts¡¯ futures!¡±


    ¡­They still had to find the owner of the land. But for now, that was not the most important goal. As Xie Wuan thought, the school might not let the main character appear in the timeline at this moment, but as long as they were the protagonist, they would have relevant clues.


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°How do we stabilize the ghosts?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Let them reach the pinnacle of ghost life!¡±


    Lin Xinghe began to concentrate on the theme park.


    Since the Urban Management Bureau wouldn¡¯t allow them to move the fountain, she would not move it for the time being. On the other hand, she found a designer, told the designer her ideas, and asked the designer to come up with a rendering.


    Of course, she couldn¡¯t really hire a decorational crew to transform the community¡ª that was too inefficient.

 CH 92.2

    There were several classmates in her contact group who had illusion-type cultivation or magic. Although their abilities didn¡¯t work too well on the villains of the villain school, their abilities were more than enough to deceive the people in this exam world.


    Lin Xinghe called them back, gave them the sketches, and assigned them areas.


    In just a day or two, Lin Xinghe¡¯s horror theme park opened.


    The community was divided into four major areas according to relevant themes, and the fifty ghosts created stories according to their own conditions.


    Since the proprietor ghosts could only turn into ghosts after midnight and would return to their bodies at sunrise, Lin Xinghe set the business hours of the theme park to be from 12:00 am to 6:00 am.


    Many people knew about the haunted Fujin Garden.


    Now that Fujin Garden had been turned into a horror theme park, most people in the industry were not optimistic, especially because of the marketing of ¡°naked eye 3D technology.¡±


    Deng Haotian sighed and said, ¡°Tickets went on sale this morning, and only a few have been sold so far. Our business hours are a bit inconvenient. Most people who go to parks are asleep when we¡¯re open.¡±


    Manager An also said, ¡°I spent money to find a lot of famous bloggers to advertise in advance. The promotional video of our theme park was also released, and the response was average.¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t expect that the response would be only average. The thrill of theme parks, even in her original world, was quite popular. She inspected the horror parks, haunted houses, and escape rooms in this world, and none of them were as good as her theme park.


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t figure it out. But when she saw the advertisements of those bloggers and the messages under the videos, she immediately understood.


    Everyone knew that Fujin Garden was haunted, and those bloggers dared not come to Fujin Garden at such a special time. They charged money, but their advertisements were just superficial and didn¡¯t show the core of their community at all.


    The promotional trailers were of the same nature.


    Their theme park could only be experienced in person before people knew how terrifying, exciting, and fun they were. They were definitely the leader in horror themes domestically.


    Lin Xinghe said generously, ¡°There is no need to hire people for marketing.¡±


    Deng Haotian: ¡°Huh?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Go and advertise. Buy some billboards and let people know that as long as tourists come to visit our park and can livestream their whole experience from area A to area D, they can get a house in the capital. If they don¡¯t like the house, they can cash in, too.¡±


    Manager An asked, ¡°What house?¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked Deng Haotian, ¡°Are there any apartments worth around 1.5 million in the capital?¡±


    Deng Haotian used to work in real estate, after all. He thought about all the information and immediately said, ¡°There are some, but they are commercial models with fifty-year property rights. It¡¯s a loft, more than sixty square meters, and has two floors.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, that¡¯s it, put out the advertisement. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s not a residential type. How many people in the capital struggle to buy a house all their lives? Even the most unpopular apartment will catch people as long as it¡¯s liveable. There will be many young people swarming desperately, and the media will also capture such an interesting pitch, which will automatically advertise us more. Plus, the livestreams about our community will make it even more popular. After all, our content is mainly the real fifty ghost employees.¡±


    ¡¾SL is very good at doing business¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Was SL really just an actor before? ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is excellent in all aspects and is a proper all-rounder. ¡¿


    ¡¾What exactly did Lin Xinghe experience before¡­¡¿


    ¡­


    There was a lot of chatter in the livestream.


    Lin Xinghe smiled and asked Deng Haotian and Manager An to get to work.


    There were too many young people working hard to buy houses. As soon as the news came out, there was a long queue at the entrance of Fujin Garden at midnight. Lin Xinghe made her fellow students scrutinize these tourists in case the protagonist was among them.


    Many tourists felt that the advertisements were exaggerated. It couldn¡¯t be that difficult to walk through the whole community. How scary was it that it was scarier than not making enough money to buy a house?


    However, when they entered the gate of Fujin Garden Community, they were all stunned.


    It was said that the community was created with the naked eye 3D technology, but it was really too realistic.


    It was still a moonlit and starry night outside. As soon as they entered the gate of Fujin Garden, it immediately felt like they had entered another world. The dark sky, a huge blood moon, cawing crows thick in the air. Looming blood-colored buildings hid in the thick fog.


    The road was quiet.


    On both sides of the road were abandoned graves one after another, and there were even half-covered coffins in the fields.


    Some creepy wind blew, making the coffin creak open.


    The tourists who had just been thinking it couldn¡¯t be so scary suddenly felt terrified.


    ¡­Was this really naked eye 3D tech?


    ¡­ It was said that Fujin Garden was haunted. If it were like this, could it not be haunted?

 CH 93.1

    Some daring tourists touched the tombstones. The stone tablets were cold to the touch, which made them all the more realistic.


    ¡°Is it real?¡±


    As soon as the others heard , they also came over to feel it, and were also convinced.


    ¡°Is this a set? Wasn¡¯t this advertised as naked-eye 3D?¡±


    ¡°As a horror lover, this isn¡¯t that surprising to me. Without graves, coffins, crows, and these other horror elements, one can¡¯t really create a horror theme¡­¡±


    Li Ping, who was livestreaming on his phone, confronted the tombstone and complained, ¡°I don¡¯t know who gave this community the courage to engage in a horror theme. Using real estate as a gimmick? You wait, I¡¯ll walk through this shoddy place in half an hour, and I¡¯ll livestream from my house what a real horror theme is¡­¡±


    After Li Ping finished speaking, he carefully observed the chat of his livestream.


    Li Ping was a small streamer. Usually, only about a thousand people watched his livestreams.


    The stream was unusually lively today, and the chat was densely packed, blocking the whole screen.*


    Li Ping thought he got some recommendations and said happily, ¡°It seems that everyone likes my proposal very much. When I¡¯ve got the apartment, I will definitely broadcast a real horror theme to you. I will give you a preview in advance. There will be a female ghost in red¡­¡±


    Li Ping talked to his phone, but he couldn¡¯t see anything on the screen at all except for the chat. When he said female ghost in red, the chat became more enthusiastic.


    He glanced at the comments at random and could see the chat spamming words slike ¡°scared¡±, ¡°ah, ah, help¡± and ¡°too scary¡±.


    Li Ping said, ¡°It seems that everyone likes this theme!¡±


    The other tourists had all gone away, leaving Li Ping alone beside the cemetery.


    It was also at this time that there were many identical messages sent¡ªAnchor, look behind you.


    Li Ping was slightly startled and turned his head to look.


    He did not know when the red-robed female ghost had crept up behind him. its ugly white face was magnified countless times, and the robes were the exact hue of fresh blood.


    Li Ping loved all things related to horror and was familiar with all kinds of horror movies. This bad trick of a female ghost suddenly appearing behind him didn¡¯t scare him at all.


    When he was about to turn the camera on the female ghost in red, he suddenly discovered that the ghost only had half of her body, and the remaining half was a tombstone. He glanced at the screen¡ª someone was saying that the female ghost in red had emerged from the tombstone.


    Li Ping glanced at the tombstone dubiously.


    The ghost suddenly stepped forward, and her ugly white face suddenly had five mouths, each of which was full of blood, spewing out fetid breath, while her body emitted cold. At some point, a skull had crawled out from the dirt, and a rotten hand emerged from the mouth of the skull, with only half of its bones  and a few clinging bits of flesh left.


    It jumped out of the skull¡¯s mouth and climbed onto Li Ping¡¯s body.


    Gradually, it appeared in the audience¡¯s sight.


    The viewers were all delighted and felt that the props were too realistic.


    But Li Ping, who was at the scene, could clearly feel a chill creep down his back.


    ¡­That wasn¡¯t a prop, it was a real skull.


    Li Ping¡¯s leg trembled a little, and he swatted the palm on his body away.


    But that palm stubbornly climbed up again and again.


    At the same time, the five mouths of the female ghost in red were blowing gently in his ear, making goosebumps rise all over his body.


    Li Ping¡¯s face was even paler than the ghost¡¯s.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe was in the surveillance room with Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan withdrew his hand and asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°How is it?¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t think that Xie Wuan would intervene in such a thing. She was slightly surprised and said, ¡°Xianjun has a way of scaring people.¡±


    Encouraged, Xie Wuan once again transformed the female ghost.


    Immediately, the female ghost in red with five mouths conjured a big knife out of thin air and started chasing after Li Ping. Skull flowers bloomed one after another on the road that Li Ping ran on, the skulls all screaming, ¡°Don¡¯t go, stay with me.¡±


    Li Ping¡¯s lips turned blue with fright.


    Seeing this, Fu Zhou also joined in on Li Ping and added a disorientation and redirection barrier on the exit.


    Jiuge saw that they were having a good time. Although he did not possess the magic of illusion, he did have his magical hair. He pulled a strand of hair out of the storage ring. The strand of hair seemed to have an aura, and it floated out directly. When it reached Li Ping, it stretched violently and tied all the skull flowers that emerged into a huge sphere of skulls and chased Li Ping.

 CH 93.2

    Li Ping frantically screamed as he was chased.


    ¡¾Hahahaha they¡¯re having a good time. ¡¿


    ¡¾I also want to bully the NPCs. ¡¿


    ¡¾T_T I create first-class illusions. I want to join Lin Xinghe¡¯s company! I can add icing on the cake to her theme park! ¡¿


    ¡¾I was chased by NPCs in my exam room. The bosses¡¯ exam room: chasing after NPCs, but also scaring the NPCs into screaming. ¡¿


    ¡¾Am I the only one who thinks that as long as Lin Xinghe is in an examination room, the style will be shifted? It was the same in the exam room with the Jiuge before, but now that she is teaming up with Jiuge and Xie Wuan, both their examination styles have been influenced by Lin Xinghe. ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, as long as SL is in the examination room, there will always be unexpected riotous operations. You can go to the other livestreams. Most of the candidates here are all contributing to SL¡¯s theme park. ¡¿


    ¡¾I think this examination room is not called the blooming of the seeds of hell, but the exploitation of capitalism. The leader is the evil capitalist and exploits the examinees¡­¡¿


    ¡­


    At this time, Li Ping ran out of breath before he got rid of the disorientation enchantment, and he was panting.


    The livestream was still open.


    Now that he calmed down a little, he realized that he had lost all face in front of the audience.


    He said cheekily, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that scary, but in order to increase the atmosphere, I used my acting skills a little¡­ I just showed you some of the content of this horror theme park, it should have been District A¡­¡±


    Before he finished speaking, he saw a huge ¡°A¡± letter marked in front of him.


    ¡­ He was running out of breath, and he wasn¡¯t even past District A, just the entrance?


    However, after he entered the building, there was no scary atmosphere outside. It was like an ordinary building. After passing through the lobby, there were two elevators. He entered the elevator as instructed. After the empty elevator started, the lights suddenly turned off.


    Li Ping heard the sound of loud breathing around him.


    In order to strengthen his courage, he said to the audience in the livestream, ¡°Now I am taking the elevator to¡­¡±


    The chat was going off.


    If it were in any other situation, Li Ping would have been so happy, but now he knew something bad was going to happen. He tried to pretend he didn¡¯t know anything that was happening and couldn¡¯t hear the breathing around him.


    At this time, the elevator to the sixth floor arrived.


    Li Ping rushed out towards the light and saw a sign hanging on the door¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Randomly crossing the road is dangerous. Staying on the sidewalks and marked crossing areas is civilized and safe.¡±


    This kind of traffic slogan was definitely sponsored by the government.


    Li Ping contemplated prosperity, strength, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality and justice¡­ He rushed into this house that was shining with warm light. However, within two minutes, Li Ping ran out screaming without caring for his image.


    Xiaowan stood at the door, ¡°Hey, are you too scared? I haven¡¯t started to expound upon my theme yet!¡±


    Xiaowan straightened her head and went in again, waiting for the next tourist to arrive.


    Li Ping was so frightened by Xiaowan that his crotch area was wet.


    Don¡¯t talk about giving him a house at this moment, he didn¡¯t even want two houses. Making money was not easy, buying a house was not easy, but the meaning of life was to have a happy existence! He felt like he was going to die here!


    Li Ping left Fujin Garden hurriedly.


    That night, there were many youths similar to Li Ping. As soon as their livestreams were spread on the Internet, no one believed that the community was so terrifying, so they went to experience it themselves. Each experience was heart-stoppingly awesome!


    And the naked eye 3D technology was really amazing!


    The scene at the entrance in the middle of the night was completely different from the scene during the day. It seemed like a physical set before, but it turned out to be all holographic projections!


    More and more people were discussing Fujin Garden on the Internet. Not long ago, there were only a few tickets sold per day. In just a few days, it became hard to get a ticket.


    Someone asked Lin Xinghe if she could also open during the day, but Lin Xinghe refused.


    Lin Xinghe changed the conversation and said, ¡°We still have a lot of empty commercial houses here. If you want to do catering or open a store, you can contact me.¡±


    With the popularity of the horror theme park, supporting catering, souvenir shops, and houses could all be opened. After all, she had fifty houses, which, except for the one she was living in, could be used to the fullest.


    As for staying with the ghost staff for a long time, it was easy to solve the problem of yang deficiency.


    When the flow of people here increased, yang energy would naturally flourish, and maybe she would even have to find a way to protect her ghost employees.


    She likely would also start receiving high returns.


    The classmates who witnessed Lin Xinghe¡¯s entrepreneurship had nothing to say except for 666.


    Who would have thought that one day there would be people who started their own businesses in the examination room!


    When Lin Xinghe made a lot of money, her livestream was already the most popular, and her interplanar audiences poured out money and rewards for her.


    The investment was worth it!


    Every exam room was an unexpected show!


    She was not a student! She was a god of the exam room! She was the ruler of the exam room! She was the answer to everything!

 CH 94.1

    The female teacher was also watching Lin Xinghe¡¯s business passion.


    The normal direction of this examination room should have been that a group of candidates landed and were taken by Deng Haotian to see the houses. From Deng Haotian¡¯s few words, they would realize that the neighborhood was haunted. The group of candidates would explore Fujin Garden and find out that the owners turned into ghosts after nightfall.


    And there was some difficulty here. There might have been candidates with violent mentalities


    who chose to kill the ghosts. As long as a ghost was killed, the ghost¡¯s wish could not be fulfilled, which was equivalent to having one less seed of hell.


    Only after in-depth exploration of the plot would the candidates find that if they wanted to pass the exam, they could not kill the ghosts. They could only fulfill their wishes and let the ghosts ascend to the sky as flowers of hell.


    The exam room chosen by the female teacher was quite suitable. There was no fighting and killing. It could completely refute Lin Xinghe¡¯s delusional inferences and quickly let the undercover students pass the exam.


    But no one expected that Lin Xinghe would buy the houses! Buying the houses was okay, and setting up an owners¡¯ committee was okay. How did that just lead to the ghosts changing their wishes after a short staff meeting?


    Originally, in this examination room, the wishes of the 50 ghost owners were different. Some were full of interesting and even contradictory points, which could make the candidates fight.


    But the fifty proprietor ghosts were all helping Lin Xinghe start a business, so their undercover students could only bear the burden of humiliation and become a stepping stone for Lin Xinghe¡¯s business ventures.


    The female teacher asked the undercover students to persuade the proprietor ghosts in the same way that Lin Xinghe did, but they were all unsuccessful.


    Those proprietor ghosts were now full of ¡°Ah, I¡¯m going to be a good ghost employee! Motivated! Fighting!¡±


    No matter how hard the undercover students worked, they couldn¡¯t shake Lin Xinghe¡¯s status as a god in their hearts! If they occasionally spoke a few bad words about her, the ghost staff would foam at the mouths, as if they were blaspheming a god.


    The female teacher had a headache.


    This exam room was completely ruined.


    The female teacher looked at Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe was being interviewed by a reporter NPC as one of the exam world¡¯s rising stars.


    The female teacher comforted herself silently that fortunately, the heroine of this examination room would not be born until ten years later, and now it was a fragment of memories in the world of novels. She was in a hurry and chose such a faraway insertion point. It was impossible for Lin Xinghe to meet the heroine. Even if they did, it would be ten years later. If Lin Xinghe and the others stayed in this exam world for ten years, it would be to their school¡¯s profit.


    An examination room that took too long would lose popularity.


    The rising stars of the school would come one after another. If they really stayed in the same examination room for ten years, who would remember them after they came out? Lin Xinghe also brought the troublesome Xie Wuan into this exam room. Him spending ten years in this exam room would truly be a blessing.


    The female teacher instructed the undercover students to continue to help the proprietor ghost fulfill their wishes.


    Don¡¯t you want a promotion and a raise? Help!


    Don¡¯t you want to improve yourself? Help!


    Don¡¯t you want to practice? Help!


    Lin Xinghe was paying attention to Lu Qin¡¯s every move.


    Lu Qin¡¯s every move represented the school¡¯s intentions.


    Lu Qin was still busy in Fujin Garden, devoting her meager strength to the ghost employees.


    The school must know that she wanted to find out the thoughts of the protagonist of this world, but Lu Qin didn¡¯t make any movements. Lin Xinghe guessed that the protagonist of this world would not be easy to find, and the owner of this land probably hadn¡¯t appeared yet.


    Now, the tickets for the community experience were sold out every day, and the tickets for the next week were sold out in just a few days. Because of the huge number of tourists brought by the theme park, the housing price of Fujin Garden was rising, and even the surrounding real estate prices grew. Her forty-nine houses also had corresponding uses. Even if the conditions were strict, renters had to rent for a whole year at a time, but they were all rented out.


    The house she bought for three thousand per square meter was now rented out at an average price of fifteen thousand a month.


    With forty-nine houses, the annual rent was nearly 9 million. In addition to the ticket income, Lin Xinghe¡¯s investment was quickly recovered. She converted it into gold bars and repaid both Jiu Ge and Xie Wuan. The rest was all pure profit.


    She planned to sell all the houses when the exam room was about to end.


    Because Fujin Garden was haunted, the house prices were super low, but the normal price of the surrounding commercial and residential apartments was 30,000 per square meter. In addition to the skyrocketing traffic of people, various supporting facilities were gradually established. At that time, it would not be difficult to sell for 40,000 to 50,000 per square meter. One house was around 100 square meters, and she had 50 empty houses. According to the calculation of 50,000 per square meter, it was 250 million yuan when rounded up. After deducting tax, she still had 200 million yuan.


    Real estate was the best and easiest kind of investment.


    Lin Xinghe made money here. Although she didn¡¯t have any new clues about the protagonist for more than a week, she was still happy all day.


    Fu Zhou was a little anxious at first, but seeing Lin Xinghe¡¯s appearance, he decided to use this examination room as a retirement examination room, and went to puzzle out hair growth secrets with Jiuge every day.

 CH 94.2

    Xie Wuan recently fell in love with eating hot pot and moved several sets of hot pot into his portable space. He ate hot pot in front of Rick and Roddy all day long, and occasionally brought Xiao Xue Ji in to eat some as well.


    Because it was too casual, the popularity of the livestreams was a bit lower.


    Originally, these people occupied the top three, but because of the week of leisure, they were now squeezed out by the rising stars. Qi Qing, who was in the same exam room as they were, also dropped out of the top five. After all, all the answers in this exam room were monopolized by Lin Xinghe.


    The rising stars were all newcomers. They solved problems quickly with high IQ and force value. Some people even imitated Lin Xinghe¡¯s routine, and they were called the little SLs by the students. They won the favor of a large number of audiences, causing Lin Xinghe¡¯s leisure stream to plummet in popularity.


    Lin Xinghe had no idea that her stream had dropped out of first place.


    She was hiring other ghost employees.


    The popularity of the horror theme park kept the ghost employees busy, and sometimes, they had to socialize with others. Because Lin Xinghe¡¯s other 50 houses were rented out, the ghosts had to interact with their neighbors.


    Xiaowan on the sixth floor was interviewed as a human during the day, and she expressed her love to her fianc¨¦ during the interview.


    After a period of time, the ghost employees felt physically and mentally exhausted, and some ghost employees didn¡¯t want to create more gameplay for their area. Seeing that Xiaowan had ghost friends A, B and C to help, they mustered up the courage to talk to the boss and put forward a request to recruit new ghost employees.


    Lin Xinghe readily agreed.


    As soon as the recruitment news was released, hundreds of ghosts came to apply.


    On the night of the application, the Fujin Garden Community seemed like ghosts were walking through the night, so much so that tourists who visited that night thought that the air conditioner in the Fujin Garden Community was especially heavy.


    As a part-time HR, Deng Haotian was so frightened that he couldn¡¯t say anything at all. He was unused to seeing such a dense group of ghosts, so he hurriedly called Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small scene, try to get used to it.¡±


    Half an hour later, Deng Haotian shook his body and called Lin Xinghe again tremblingly.


    ¡°Boss, come down here, Heibai Wuchang* are here¡­¡±


    Deng Haotian was stunned when he saw Heibai Wuchang.


    They were carrying soul ropes, and the ghosts who applied for the job were so frightened that they stood against the wall. Some of the timid ones slipped away. There were not many ghosts left in the originally crowded underground parking lot.


    Deng Haotian didn¡¯t dare to look at Heibai Wuchang and hurriedly called his boss.


    He was even afraid that Heibai Wuchang would take him away.


    It was said that with one hook of their chains, they could spirit a person away.


    He and the ghosts were in the same group. Wouldn¡¯t he be stained with yin and taken away by Heibai Wuchang?


    Deng Haotian was very flustered.


    Unexpectedly, the boss was extremely surprised and said, ¡°There is such a good thing as this?¡±


    Deng Haotian stammered, ¡°This¡­ is this a good thing?¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t answer him. Deng Haotian only heard the boss say to Xie Wuan, ¡°Xianjun! Heibai Wuchang are in the underground parking lot! Do you want to visit? The new dungeon map is out!¡±


    Then, she hung up.


    In less than five minutes, Deng Haotian saw his boss come down.


    Lin Xinghe went straight to Heibai Wuchang, stretched out her hand, and said, ¡°Hello, hello, I¡¯m Lin Xinghe, this ghost recruitment was issued by me. Have I violated the relevant laws of the underworld? If I do, I¡¯m willing to go with you and take a walk around the underworld. If not, I would like to invite you to a meal¡­¡±


    Heibai Wuchang: ¡°¡­¡±


    After a long while, Hei Wuchang said, ¡°Are you alive? What¡¯s your name? And the time of birth, please let me know.¡±


    Bai Wuchang: ¡°She just reported her name. Anyone who is blind can know that she is alive.¡±


    Hei Wuchang: ¡°It¡¯s just a routine.¡±


    Lin Xinghe blindly reported her date of birth.


    Bai Wuchang flipped through the book of life and death and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have your record.¡±


    Of course there was no record of Lin Xinghe¡ªshe was not from this novel world.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe heard the sound of footsteps behind her, moved a few steps to the right, introduced the Heibai Wuchang, and said with a smile, ¡°This one is Xie Wuan.¡±


    Xie Wuan was having hot pot with Xiao Xue Ji just now, and Lin Xinghe came down first.


    He ate the last piece of shrimp balls and came down slowly.


    The attention of the Heibai Wuchang just now was on Lin Xinghe, a mortal who was not recorded in the book of life and death. When they noticed Xie Wuan for the first time, they were shocked by his immortal aura.


    TL Notes:


    *Heibai Wuchang (lit meaning: Black and White Impermanence) are two figures in Han Chinese mythology that work for the ruler of the Underworld.

 CH 95.1

    Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang looked at each other with a hint of respect in their tone.


    ¡°If we may inquire about the name of Xianjun?¡±


    Normally, Xie Wuan would definitely not even look at them. Were they worthy of being graced with the name of his illustrious self? He would definitely subdue the Heibai Wuchang in front of him and force them to take him to the underworld if he were his old self. He would stir up the underworld again and take advantage of the chaos to arrest the supreme ruler.


    But now that he had been on Lin Xinghe¡¯s side for a long time, he knew her exam style.


    If he killed Heibai Wuchang, he was afraid that she would be unhappy.


    She apparently entered this examination room for another purpose.


    He wanted to see what she would do and how far she would go against the school.


    Lin Xinghe could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s thoughts clearly.


    She was a little surprised.


    Xie Wuan even considered her mood now and was afraid that she would be unhappy. He was really a good person.


    At this time, she heard Xie Wuan say, ¡°This esteemed one¡¯s immortal name is Qinglian.¡±


    Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang immediately changed their address, ¡°Well met, Qinglian Xianjun.¡±


    Xie Wuan responded lightly.


    Bai Wuchang asked: ¡°I don¡¯t know why Qinglian Xianjun appeared here?¡±


    Hei Wuchang asked, ¡°On official business?¡±


    Xie Wuan said: ¡°I have some official duties, but it is inconvenient to disclose them at this time. This esteemed one is planning to go to the underworld. You are here at the right time. Come with me.¡±


    There were suddenly more messages in Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream chat.


    ¡¾? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾How long has it been since the boss was so kind to an NPC? ¡¿


    ¡¾As an old fan who has been chasing after him since Xie Wuan¡¯s first livestream, I can tell you clearly that it has been ten years. He didn¡¯t even want to talk to NPCs after the first five exam rooms. His solution was to try to create conditions in which force can be used. ¡¿


    ¡¾This is really only seen once in a lifetime. ¡¿


    Of course, Xie Wuan didn¡¯t know what they were saying about him. Even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t care. At this time, his attention was on Lin Xinghe. Sure enough, after he said that, a smile appeared in Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes.


    Seeing such a smile, Xie Wuan felt a little happy in his heart.


    Lin Xinghe heard a chuckle in Xie Wuan¡¯s heart. She felt it was strange, looked up at him, but saw that he was still expressionless.


    But Lin Xinghe was already very familiar with this kind of Xie Wuan. She listened to his heart intently¡ª


    ¡°She looks pretty nice when she smiles.¡±


    ¡°The eyes don¡¯t look bad.¡±


    ¡°The nose is also not bad.¡±


    ¡°The mouth is also not bad.¡±


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe was used to being praised by others for her good looks. At this time, when she heard Xie Wuan compliment her facial features in such a serious manner in her heart, she couldn¡¯t help but feel small fluctuations in her heart. She turned her head slightly embarrassedly, only to hear Xie Wuan say ¨C


    ¡°Her side profile looks good too.¡±


    Lin Xinghe had no other choice but to take a few steps back, temporarily out of sight of Xie Wuan, and say to Heibai Wuchang: ¡°If it¡¯s alright, Qinglian Xianjun and I will go to the underworld with you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t appear in the book of life and death. Heibai Wuchang thought that Lin Xinghe had changed her life against fate, or borrowed a corpse to restore her soul. All in all, she had gone the wrong way and should be brought back to the underworld for a good interrogation so that she could return to the right path.


    After all, this situation where hundreds of ghosts gathered, no matter how one looked at it, didn¡¯t seem like something someone walking the righteous path would do.


    But now there was an immortal.


    Even if they had never heard of such an immortal name, the celestial energy around this immortal monarch was stronger than those immortal monarchs who came down to the underworld occasionally, and although it was a little different, his energy was similar to that of the emperor of Jiuchongtian*.


    If he claimed himself to be Immortal, he must be doing something that they, the lower-level public officials, didn¡¯t know.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s identity did not need to be explained too much. With Xie Wuan, the two Heibai Wuchang automatically fabricated Lin Xinghe¡¯s identity¡ª¡ª


    Qinglian Xianjun had a close relationship with her, so maybe she was a part of this official business.


    Heibai Wuchang looked at each other.


    Bai Wuchang said in a low voice, ¡°I still have official business at hand, you should take Xianjun to the underworld.¡±


    Hei Wuchang said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Hei Wuchang turned sideways: ¡°Qinglian Xianjun, please follow me.¡±


    Deng Haotian, who had been watching silently, was stunned. After the boss and the others disappeared, he swallowed hard, and then called Manager An, ¡°Old An, it¡¯s incredible, our boss Xie actually has a cultivating background. Boss Lin calling him Xianjun was not just random! ¡±


    Deng Haotian hung up the phone. Now that he saw all the ghosts, he had enough courage!


    Didn¡¯t he see how calm the two bosses were when Heibai Wuchang came over just now? Heibai Wuchang also called Xie boss Qinglian Xianjun! Ghosts were afraid of Heibai Wuchang, and Heibai Wuchang were afraid of Boss Xie. Boss Xie was one of the bosses of the company. He was Boss Xie¡¯s direct underling, which made him at around equal status of Heibai Wuchang.


    TL Notes:


    *Ninth Heaven/Nine Heaven

 CH 95.2

    Deng Haotian patted the table and shouted, ¡°The one who jumped into the sea to death, yes, it¡¯s you, No. 12, it¡¯s your turn. You¡¯ve all seen the proceedings here. Coming to work with us is equivalent to a guaranteed high income !¡±


    At this time, Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan followed Hei Wuchang to the underworld.


    Hei Wuchang left Xie Wuan next to Mengpo Bridge.** ¡°Is Xianjun looking for Emperor Fengdu? I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s a bit unfortunate. There is an immortal meeting in the heavens today, and Emperor Fengdu has gone to the celestial realm. I¡¯m afraid it will take a few days for him to come back.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°You can go do your work.¡±


    Hei Wuchang responded and left.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe came back to the underworld, she was consumed by the sights around her. She looked left and right, and suddenly, her eyes fell on the other end of Mengpo Bridge, where a dead tree was planted.


    Lin Xinghe wanted to see what kind of tree it was, so she stepped onto the Mengpo Bridge.


    After taking two steps, Xie Wuan stopped her.


    He said, ¡°You can¡¯t walk on the Mengpo Bridge.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Only those who are going through  reincarnation can walk on the Mengpo Bridge. When you step on the Mengpo Bridge, you will still have your memories. When you leave the Mengpo Bridge, you will completely forget everything¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe immediately stepped back. She touched her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t seem to remember anything. My head is blank.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Perhaps the Mengpo Bridge in this world is not used for this purpose.¡±


    When Lin Xinghe heard this, she asked, ¡°Was that the purpose of the Mengpo Bridge in Xianjun¡¯s world?¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    Lin Xinghe touched her head again and said, ¡°I did walk on the Mengpo Bridge, but I don¡¯t feel any different. Maybe it¡¯s really not for this purpose, or it¡¯s restricted to the NPCs in this world¡­¡±


    She turned around, pointed at the dead tree, and said, ¡°I just want to go over and see what kind of tree that dead tree is¡­¡±


    When the words fell, Lin Xinghe felt a sudden shock in her heart.


    She always felt that there should be a peach tree in full bloom there, so that when the people who went down Mengpo Bridge forgot all their memories, they could go experience a new life with the fragrance of peach blossoms.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly surprised.


    Some kind of image suddenly appeared in her mind. It didn¡¯t seem to be imagined, as if it really existed in her memory. The brilliant peach blossoms in full bloom floated on the Wangchuan River, and the new ghosts reluctantly walked on the Mengpo Bridge, weeping and dragging their feet. After they completely crossed the Mengpo Bridge, they became pure souls like newborn babies, innocently smiling. They stood under the peach tree for a second and then jumped into their next reincarnations.


    Such memories were too real.


    But Lin Xinghe felt that she should not¡­


    She was an ordinary person who became an actress by accident and died at a young age¡­


    How could a scene from hell appear in her mind?


    She wanted to try again.


    Lin Xinghe said calmly, ¡°I really don¡¯t remember anything. It seems that this Mengpo Bridge is an ordinary bridge to me. I¡¯m very curious about that tree, so I¡¯ll go take a look.¡±


    Lin Xinghe stepped on the Mengpo Bridge again.


    She was afraid that the school would be suspicious, so she talked nonsense with Xie Wuan as she walked.


    Fortunately, Xie Wuan was a taciturn immortal on the surface. As long as she did not use interrogative sentences or rhetorical questions, he would mostly reply with one or two words. She could talk to him in a relaxed way and focus more on the unfamiliar memories that the Mengpo Bridge brought her.


    ¡°I want to plant a peach tree here, so that all ghosts who are going to reincarnate can see it!¡±


    ¡°Princess, it isn¡¯t suitable to plant peach trees next to Mengpo Bridge?¡±


    ¡°Why is it not suitable? Things should go my way, not yours. If I say it¡¯s suitable, it¡¯s suitable.¡±


    ¡°Father, I¡¯m so tired. Can I rest for a while?¡±


    ¡°No. You will inherit my mantle and become the most outstanding celestial master of our Cheng family. Puff out your chest! As a man, can¡¯t you endure this bit of hardship? Why are you dodging? If you dodge now, you will have fewer injuries, but when you do encounter enemies and evil spirits, their blows will be fatal! Train to have an instinctive response! In this way, no matter where the enemy attacks you, your body will respond faster than your mind!¡±


    ¡°Father, mother, sister and brother! I! Lin Wan! Am a success! Did you see me in front of the TV? Thank you for your encouragement. It was only with your support that I could get this gold medal in alpine skiing today!¡±


    ¡°Ah, evil witch, how dare you prevent the prince from meeting the princess! I, Elizabeth, will not allow such a thing to happen.¡±


    ¡­


    Countless scenarios popped into her head.


    There were various figures in his mind, including men and women, old people and children, and even talking animals. Those appearances were unfamiliar yet familiar, making Lin Xinghe feel that all these people were her, but also were not her.

 CH 96.1

    She even saw some familiar classmates in these scenes.


    For example, there was a scene where she was a little girl in ancient China. She was walking down the alley while holding hands with her mother. Xie Wuan flew overhead on his sword, his fingertips crackling with power, and in an instant, the mountains in the distance were razed to the ground.


    In another scene, she saw Fu Zhou.


    She was a man in a suit and leather shoes, sitting in the office on the eighteenth floor, saying to Fu Zhou, ¡°If you work overtime, just work overtime, don¡¯t play so many tricks¡­¡±


    In another scene, she met Jiuge.


    She was a salesperson in a supermarket. Jiuge asked her, ¡°What shampoo can treat severe hair loss? Recommend one to me.¡±


    ¡­


    Even in so many messy and bizarre scenes, the life in her before-novel didn¡¯t appear.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe became sure of one thing.


    The school must have had many paper insert characters, and these characters could enter the world of novels and interpret the story scripts belonging to those worlds. When the story was over, the white paper characters were recycled, and they would go to new fictional worlds yet again.


    She used to be one of these paper inserts and had been to many novel worlds. She had also been an NPC in others¡¯ examination rooms.


    This could also explain why she was so proficient at using the skateboard to be a robot in front of Comrade Xiaopu when she was in the city of machines¡ªshe used to be an alpine skier.


    This was also why she could always dodge the enemy¡¯s attack 100%. It wasn¡¯t luck- it was an instinctive reaction after hard training in one of the worlds.


    As for luck, she might really just have been quite lucky.


    Among so many memories, there were none of the memories that she had experienced before her death¡­


    Lin Xinghe had been thinking about whether she was really killed by lightning. With these memories, she could be sure of one thing, she was killed by lightning.


    Her before-world could not have been an exam room, because if it were an exam room, there would be students that had met her in an exam room before.


    The school didn¡¯t want to reveal that the exam rooms were all worlds of fiction.


    Therefore, she thought that the actress-life she experienced was likely fake and was fabricated by the school. Her name, her identity, and her appearance were all fake. Everything about that world was made up, including her method of death.


    The school made them take exams to tackle awakened characters.


    Although all the exam rooms she went through were perfect, she had seen some exam rooms where a hundred students went in, but none of them passed the exam in the end. Such test rooms would be sealed, and no new students could enter.


    So here was the question.


    What were the sealed examination rooms used for? What about the awakened paper insert characters?


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s head was spinning rapidly.


    It was very likely that she had awakened in one of the worlds. The school once let candidates enter her examination room, but they could not get rid of her. As a last resort, they imposed a new personality and new experiences on her and finally chose to kill her with lightning to let her enter the villain school.


    After she entered the villain school, the probability of her death was much higher.


    Every exam room was very dangerous¡ª students had to guard against NPCs and classmates who were in competition with them.


    If this didn¡¯t kill her, she could be forced to go to a random exam room with high difficulty and face off against 99 other undercover agents sent by the school.


    This was a profitable business for the school.


    The school pulled the awakened characters in, made them enter examination rooms, started mandatory livestreams, and made a lot of money for themselves. Of course, it was best if the students died, but they could still make money if the awakened characters didn¡¯t die and gained popularity instead.


    Lin Xinghe stopped on the Mengpo Bridge.


    These memories made her uneasy for a while.


    It wasn¡¯t until Xie Wuan called to her that she suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she was still streaming. At this time, she must not reveal her secrets, and she absolutely could not let the school know that she had seen the truth.


    However, her strange daze on the Mengpo Bridge couldn¡¯t easily be covered up.


    But she soon found a perfect excuse.


    She looked straight at Xie Wuan and said, ¡°Xianjun, have you heard the phrase, ¡®You look at the scenery from under the bridge, and I look at you from over the bridge¡¯? It doesn¡¯t mean anything, it¡¯s just I suddenly wanted to tell you¡­¡±


    She quickly got off the Mengpo Bridge, put the memories aside, came to Xie Wuan, and asked, ¡°What kind of cultivation path did Xianjun use before? Was it an emotionless path? Did you have a cultivation partner?¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s expressionless face froze, and he fell silent for a while.


    But the scene inside was wonderfully noisy.


    ¡°What does she mean?¡±


    ¡°Lin Xinghe wants to be the cultivation partner of my illustrious self?¡±


    ¡°Otherwise why would she ask this?¡±


    ¡°Why was she looking at me from the bridge?¡±


    ¡°Does she really want to be the cultivation partner of my illustrious self?¡±


    ¡°But I just want to make her a figurine¡­¡±


    ¡°This seat does not have any love of the type that men and women share for her to have!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need a cultivation partner. I just like to make figurines!¡±


    ¡°She looks so serious¡­¡±


    ¡°Is she really attracted to my illustrious self?¡±


    ¡°There are so many ordinary people who like my illustrious self. Even she falls into this trap?¡±


    ¡°How do I respond to her so she won¡¯t misunderstand me¡­¡±


    ¡°What if she didn¡¯t mean it that way?¡±

 CH 96.2

    Lin Xinghe felt a little headache from his rapid-fire inner conversation and suddenly felt that she had gone too far. She said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to answer me. I was just asking casually, and there is no other meaning. if Jiuge were standing here, I would also ask the same thing. The scenery is so beautiful that no matter who is standing in this place, it would make me feel the same¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart: ¡­ Is Rudolph worthy?


    Lin Xinghe immediately changed her words: ¡°Of course if Fu Zhou were here, it would be the same, I¡¯m not referring to anyone specific¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart: ¡­ How can Fu Zhou be compared to my illustrious self!


    Lin Xinghe gave up the topic and said, ¡°We¡¯ve gone to the underworld already. Let¡¯s go ask about the land in Fujin Garden¡­¡± After speaking, she passed Xie Wuan and walked onward.


    Unexpectedly, Xie Wuan¡¯s heart still did not settle down.


    ¡°Is she sad?¡±


    ¡°She said so much just now and also mentioned Rudolph and Fu Zhou just to cover up her embarrassing emotions¡­¡±


    ¡°She walked so fast because she doesn¡¯t want to face my illustrious self anymore.¡±


    ¡°Did this esteemed one upset her?¡±


    Sigh.


    Another sigh.


    Still another sigh.


    It haunted Lin Xinghe¡¯s heart, and she could not disperse this feeling for a long time.


    The livestream audience was stunned.


    ¡¾I heard it right? Did I hear it wrong? Was Lin Xinghe teasing Xie Wuan just now? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh! I thought Xie Wuan liked Lin Xinghe! After all, Xie Wuan treated Lin Xinghe really specially! ¡¿


    ¡¾Right! Boss Xie, who has never teamed up with others, teamed up with Lin Xinghe this time, and he even obeyed her in the exam room! ¡¿


    ¡¾Unfortunately, Xie Wuan is only pursuing her as a figurine, and he was too lazy to answer Lin Xinghe¡¯s question just now. Look at how hurriedly, sadly, and aggrievedly Lin Xinghe left! ¡¿


    ¡¾Kidnapping SL! SL won¡¯t cry! Let¡¯s not talk to Xie Wuan! Aside from Xie Wuan, there are still thousands of men willing to be spoiled by you! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes! SL! What about Jiuge! All you need is an anti-hair loss shampoo! Jiuge will never leave you! ¡¿


    ¡¾No, Xiao Xue Ji can do it too! Xiao Xue Ji can still become Xie Wuan! ¡¿


    ¡¾Isn¡¯t this an exam room? Why has the chat turned into discussing love affairs? ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe and the others don¡¯t know what they¡¯re doing. The quality of this exam has plummeted since the start of running the theme park. Now it¡¯s getting more and more boring. The people in their team have dropped a lot in the popularity rankings. I thought that such a team would be interesting, but now I just watch Lin Xinghe make money every day, and I¡¯m even getting bored of Xie Wuan eating hot pot. It was fresh at first, but now it¡¯s completely boring¡­]¡¿


    ¡¾Now that the leader has opened a new dungeon, it should be able to bring back some popularity¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Opening a new dungeon is. This exam room has dragged on for a long time. They should end this exam room quickly and then enter the next 50-person exam room. ¡¿


    Since Lin Xinghe was focused on making money, Principal Wang hadn¡¯t watched Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream.


    The school needed more fresh blood.


    The top ten most popular live broadcast platforms couldn¡¯t always be some old faces. Newcomers had to come out from time to time to make the audience excited and pay up.


    However, Xie Wuan was in this examination room, after all. To Principal Wang, Xie Wuan was also a big hindrance that could not be eliminated for a long time. Him staying in the same exam room as Lin Xinghe made Principal Wang feel uneasy, so he asked the female teacher to monitor them all the time and report to him every 3-5 hours.


    The female teacher reported to Principal Wang as usual.


    ¡°Everything is normal. Although Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan went to the underworld, the protagonist was not there. The protagonist will be born ten years later.¡±


    Hearing this, Principal Wang went to look at Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream and happened to see the messages of those dissing Lin Xinghe. He hummed in relief.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe was chatting with a group of ghosts.


    The ghost messengers saw Hei Wuchang respectfully send this girl and the immortal to the Mengpo Bridge, and they didn¡¯t know who could make Hei Wuchang so respectful.


    So when Lin Xinghe came to talk to them, they were very enthusiastic.


    Whatever Lin Xinghe asked, they would answer. It could be said that they knew everything.


    After a short meeting, Xie Wuan found Lin Xinghe.


    As soon as he came over, the strong immortal energy and coercion on his body made the ghosts avoid him. They didn¡¯t dare to stay by his side and hurriedly dispersed.


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s heart still entangled in the matter just now. She couldn¡¯t help coughing lightly, changed the subject, and said to him, ¡°Just now, I inquired about the land of Fujin Garden. Guess what I heard?¡±


    Xie Wuan stopped his thoughts and looked at Lin Xinghe, ¡°What?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Every piece of land in the world is protected by a specific land god, and there are books in the library of the Great Emperor Fengdu that record every land god of each piece of land. There may be some news related to Fujin Garden¡­ But the library of the Great Emperor Fengdu is a private place, so I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to enter.¡±


    Xie Wuan saw that her expression was indifferent and felt a little uneasy in her heart. He always felt that Lin Xinghe looked the best when she smiled.


    Her current emotions were caused by him hurting her.


    He immediately said, ¡°It¡¯s a trifling matter. There is no place that this illustrious one can¡¯t enter.¡±

 CH 97.1

    Lin Xinghe stayed in place, waiting for Xie Wuan¡¯s next instructions.


    Unexpectedly, Xie Wuan bowed his head slightly. His lowered eyebrows looked rather indifferent. In the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room, they all felt that Xie Wuan said this just to be polite, and now it seemed that he did not want to go to the library.


    However, only Lin Xinghe knew that his inner conflict was very rich.


    She turned her head, looked to the other side, and made a contemplative appearance, so that Xie Wuan could maintain his aloof and abstinent expression in front of the audience.


    In the livestream chat¡ª


    ¡¾Ah, the two of them look so embarrassed¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe was flirting with Xie Wuan before and doesn¡¯t know what to say now? ¡¿


    ¡¾Boss Xie is really cold¡­¡¿


    ¡¾To tell the truth, Lin Xinghe is really good-looking. Although she seems petite and sweet, she is not dependent on other people and also has the aura of a boss. It is quite suitable for her to to stand with Xie Wuan. ¡¿


    In actuality-


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s heart: Xie Wuan wants to start a rich inner conflict. Let¡¯s wait for him.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart: There are two ways to enter the library: one is to break in by force; the other is to kill all the people in charge of the underworld and go in style. Lin Xinghe wants to explore the plot of this world well. The first is impossible. I cannot avoid the use of force, and my force involves killing, which will inevitably affect the plot. The first is impossible, and the second is even more impossible.


    Xie Wuan continued, ¡°This esteemed one will never sneak in somewhere.¡±


    After a second.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Well, let¡¯s make an exception for Lin Xinghe. Her sad look just now doesn¡¯t look like her, so let¡¯s make her happy. It¡¯s faster to sneak in and won¡¯t waste my illustrious self¡¯s cultivation.¡±


    Xie Wuan convinced himself in his heart and said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lin Xinghe, ¡°Okay.¡±


    In the chat-


    ¡¾Ah, so awkward ¡¿


    ¡¾Ah, so indifferent. ¡¿


    Xie Wuan patrolled the underworld, and his immortal aura made many public officials in the underworld think the same thing as Heibai Wuchang. They assumed he was a high official of Jiuzhongtian who came down on urgent business.


    Xie Wuan took a look around and found the location of Emperor Fengdu¡¯s library.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°How do we get in? There aren¡¯t any underworld soldiers guarding the door, so a barrier was probably set up.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°It¡¯s just a mere barrier.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s figure flashed and disappeared, leaving Lin Xinghe alone.


    In less than a few seconds, Xie Wuan came back and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    After a pause, he said indifferently, ¡°Forcibly breaking the barrier will make Emperor Fengdu suspicious, but by my own self, this illustrious one can pass through the barrier without drawing attention.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Does that mean I can¡¯t get in?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t, it just requires skin contact.¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xinghe extended her hand generously.


    ¡°¡­Hold hands?¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart: ¡­ She really wants to be the cultivation partner of this seat.


    Lin Xinghe: ¡­


    Lin Xinghe silently retracted her hand.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heart: ¡­ This esteemed one didn¡¯t take her hand immediately, is she sad again? Also, in front of the livestream with so many viewers, a girl would inevitably feel embarrassed¡­


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s heart: No, I¡¯m not, I don¡¯t, I¡­


    However, before her inner turmoil was over, Lin Xinghe smelled a refreshing fragrance. Xie Wuan grabbed hands. In front of her was his unwrinkled white robes, and his fingers were long and warm, not soft at all, with a masculine rigidity.


    Lin Xinghe lost her mind for a moment.


    But soon, the distraction was over. Xie Wuan let go of her hand, and the two successfully entered the library of Emperor Fengdu. Although the library of Emperor Fengdu was not as big as that of the mermaid lord, there were quite a few books in it, and it was densely packed.


    Lin Xinghe picked out a random book, finding that the words on it were legible to her.


    She picked up a few more books at random and discovered that there were still some characters she didn¡¯t know and weren¡¯t part of any language she recognized. But she felt like she had seen them before.


    She couldn¡¯t remember.


    Lin Xinghe simply didn¡¯t want to take the time to sift through them and threw the books into her portable space.


    She started to use her old method again, borrowing the automatic identification function of the storage ring that Jiuge gave her. She spent more than ten minutes tossing these books in and identifying them. It didn¡¯t take long for her to find the book she wanted.


    She opened it and saw that it really recorded something related to the piece of land in Fujin Garden.


    A poignant story was recorded.


    Hundreds of years ago, Fujin Garden was not Fujin Garden but instead the domain of the ghost king Murong Tian. Murong Tian had boundless magic power, and he cultivated into a ghost king. Such a powerful ghost king later met a gentle mortal woman named Nangong Kui and started a vigorous love affair with her. However, because people and ghosts had different paths, the concept of this world was that different races could not love and stay with each other. To love each other is to disregard the rules of heaven. In the end, Murong Tian and Nangong Kui died tragically.

 CH 97.2

    However, Nangong Kui was already pregnant before she died. In order to keep his descendants alive, Murong Tian tried his best to protect the fetus in Nangong Kui¡¯s womb, forcefully taking out the fetus¡¯ soul and injecting it into an egg. He entrusted it to the land god Wanjing.


    He was worried that after the birth of the fetus, the child would have nothing to rely on, and went the wrong way again, leaving a piece of land for his offspring, the piece of land in Fujin Garden.


    When the egg had absorbed the essence of the three hundred and sixty years of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it would break out of its shell and inherit that piece of land.


    All the creatures in that land, whether alive or dead, as long as they lived in it, would become the servants of the owner.


    When Lin Xinghe saw this setting, she couldn¡¯t help but snort.


    This was properly the setting of the protagonist, and the plot armor and luck was too much.


    But she thought some more and realized that this person was not necessarily the protagonist. From the perspective of the land owner¡¯s servants, it was also possible that they were the villain boss. No matter from which level, Murong Tian and Nangong Kui¡¯s child was one of the main characters.


    Lin Xinghe took a picture of the above record with her mobile phone. After all, this was one of the important plots in the novel world. When Emperor Fengdu came back and found that it was missing, he might do something to them.


    Lin Xinghe calculated the time again. From the records, it seemed that the egg would absorb the essence of three hundred and sixty years of heaven, earth, sun and moon before it broke out of its shell. With such a setting in the current time, there were still ten years before one of the main characters broke out of their shell.


    Lin Xinghe was not surprised. This sneaky arrangement by the school was one of her previous speculations.


    Now that she knew where one of the main characters was, everything got much easier.


    Lin Xinghe turned to look at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan had been very quiet since entering the library, not just surface quiet, but quiet inside as well. He didn¡¯t say a word and was so quiet that she thought that the tears of Aphrodite had stopped working.


    She walked up to Xie Wuan, raised her phone, and said, ¡°I found a clue!¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Oh?¡±


    Lin Xinghe told Xie Wuan what she had seen.


    Xie Wuan responded indifferently, ¡°Oh.¡±


    His heart was also very quiet.


    Lin Xinghe found herself unaccustomed to it, so she looked at him a few more times. He turned to the side with no expression on his face and said lightly, ¡°Let¡¯s head back if you found it.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Next, I¡¯m going to find Wanjing, the land god of Fujin Garden.¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Oh.¡±


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand.


    Xie Wuan gave her a complicated look. Without saying anything, he grabbed her, performed a little magic, and left the library. As soon as they left the library, he let go of Lin Xinghe¡¯s hand, and immediately the two left the underworld and returned to the entrance of Fujin Garden.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe thought that Xie Wuan was not happy to find clues with her, and said, ¡°Xianjun, I can find the Earth God alone. I know where she is.¡±


    Xie Wuan hummed lightly, did not leave, and continued to follow Lin Xinghe¡¯s side.


    Lin Xinghe pulled the land god out of the ground according to her location recorded in the library of the Great Emperor Fengdu.


    Lin Xinghe said to Waning without changing her expression, ¡°I am here to fetch the egg at the request of the Ghost King and his wife.¡±


    Wanjing looked at Lin Xinghe suspiciously and asked, ¡°What evidence do you have?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The Ghost King confessed to me before his death. Ten years before the birth of his descendant, they were destined to undergo a catastrophe, and he specially asked me to protect them¡­¡± She shifted slightly, revealing half of the multi-purpose man Xie Wuan.


    When Wan Jing saw Xie Wuan¡¯s immortal energy, she immediately did not suspect them and handed over the egg that had been preserved for 350 years to Lin Xinghe.


    The egg was very huge. It wasn¡¯t the size of a chicken egg, or a goose egg, or an ostrich egg. It was the size of five ostrich eggs, and it was as heavy as toddler Xiao Xue Ji in her arms.


    The color of the egg was snow-white, without any cracks or creases on it, and it was very smooth and delicate.


    Lin Xinghe thanked the land god and returned to the penthouse in Fujin Garden.


    Jiuge and Fu Zhou weren¡¯t there, and only she and Xie Wuan were in the room.


    Xiao Xue Ji stayed in the portable space.


    Xie Wuan was still very quiet.


    Lin Xinghe thought that maybe it was time to explain the misunderstanding to him.


    After some thought, she finally decided to open her mouth.


    Unexpectedly, when she was about to turn her head to look at Xie Wuan, she heard his heart sound ¨C


    ¡°Her ten fingertips are slender young bamboo shoots, her wrists the delicate white lotus roots.¡±


    ¡°A pair of five makes ten slivers of jade, from which only the most delicate things are made.¡±


    ¡°Pale wrists, blushing cheeks, jade bamboo, able to pluck the qin and sew beautifully as they do.¡±


    ¡°Hands soft and shapely as delicate flowers, skin creamy and smooth as a dusting of flour.¡±


    ¡°The slender, shards of spring-onion nephrite jade, sprouting from the vivid sleeves unafraid.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: What?

 CH 98.1

    Of course Lin Xinghe knew that those were all poems that praised the beauty of women¡¯s hands, but why was Xie Wuan suddenly thinking of them?


    Her eyes met Xie Wuan¡¯s.


    His eyes darkened.


    Unexpectedly, he began to recite poetry again in his heart¡ª¡ª


    ¡°The water is the wave of the eyes, and the mountains are the peaks of the eyebrows.¡±


    ¡°The phoenix eyes are half-curved and drowning in amber, and the crimson lips are dotted with cherries.¡±


    ¡°No, Lin Xinghe does not have phoenix eyes, but almond eyes.¡±


    ¡°Almond eyes are half-curved and drowning in amber, and the crimson lips are dotted with cherries.¡±


    After more than ten seconds, he recited poetry again. This time it was¡ª


    ¡°Rosy lips and pearly teeth, face as beautiful as the most well-crafted jade.¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew that she was good-looking, but even after living for such a long time, no man had really praised her facial features so much. She was suddenly lost for words.


    She really didn¡¯t expect Xie Wuan to be a chatterbox and a literate youth!


    Lin Xinghe coughed lightly and said, ¡°Xianjun, I¡­¡±


    It was also at this time that Xiao Xue Ji interrupted Lin Xinghe because she wanted to come out. Xiao Xue Ji loved her portable space at first sight. Lin Xinghewas worried that Xiao Xue Ji would feel that the space was too narrow and boring, so she even reserved a nursery room for Xiao Xue Ji in the penthouse. But she didn¡¯t expect that Xiao Xue Ji would crawl into the portable space whenever she felt tired.


    Sometimes she would spend a whole day in the portable space.


    Lin Xinghe occasionally peered in with her consciousness to see what Xiao Xue Ji was doing inside.


    Unexpectedly, Xiao Xue Ji was reading a book.


    The collection of books she collected from the mermaid city lord plus the books she collected from Emperor Fengdu added up to more than a hundred books, all of which were piled in the portable space.


    Xiao Xue Ji seemed fascinated.


    At first, Lin Xinghe thought that Xiao Xue Ji was an ignorant and innocent little girl, but now that she thought about it, she had been alive with the snow maiden for hundreds or even thousands of years. Although she lost all her memories after following her out of the exam room, in essence, Xiao Xue Ji was likely a remarkable paper insert character.


    But it didn¡¯t matter if she were a person or a ghost, good or bad, to Lin Xinghe, Xiao Xue Ji was just Xiao Xue Ji, a daughter-like existence.


    Xiao Xue Ji was released.


    She was wearing a small dress and stretched her legs. As soon as she came out, she grabbed Lin Xinghe¡¯s trouser legs, yawned, and called out softly, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Seeing Xie Wuan, she let go of Lin Xinghe and jumped over on her little short legs to grab Xie Wuan¡¯s trouser legs. She called out in the same soft voice, ¡°Uncle Xianjun.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji used to be most familiar with Jiuge and Fu Zhou because Jiuge kept petting her, stroking her cat body, scratching her head, and giving her interesting magic props now and then. As for Fu Zhou, he would often let Leiting out to play with her.


    But now she was most familiar with Xie Wuan. This was the friendship that came from eating hot pot!


    Lin Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.


    Thank goodness.


    After Xiao Xue Ji came out, Xie Wuan finally stopped his literary youth behavior. He had just changed from reciting poetry to writing poetry. And these poems weren¡¯t implicit like the ancient literature but rather easy-to-understand poems praising her directly. He even praised her organs and inferred that she had very healthy and excellent lungs through her standard long, impassioned speeches.


    At this time, Jiuge and Fu Zhou also returned.


    Both of them were slightly taken aback when they saw the huge egg.


    Lin Xinghe told them the details.


    Jiuge said, ¡°So this egg is the owner of this land?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°It will take ten years for it to break out of its shell?¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded.


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible for us to stay in this exam room for ten years, right? There are still three exam rooms after! After ten years, the audience will probably be gone.¡± After a while, Fu Zhou said again, ¡°It doesn¡¯t make sense, the blooming of the seeds of hell has nothing to do with this egg, right? It only has to do with our ghost employees.¡±


    Fu Zhou still didn¡¯t know what the blooming method of the seeds of hell was or what it had to do with the fifty ghost employees. He even wanted to put a ghost employee into the grid of the sunflower fountain to see if it could become a seed, but it was practically impossible. He tricked a ghost employee onto the sunflower grid just now, but unfortunately it was of no use.


    Jiuge and Fu Zhou were both observing the egg.


    Fu Zhou tapped it, retracted his fingers, and said, ¡°Incubating eggs artificially?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°In the records, it is said that it would take three hundred and sixty years to absorb the essence it needs. If the egg absorbs enough essence, it should crack itself¡­¡±


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe added, ¡°But I think I can take a risk and open this egg directly. It has fed for 350 years and worst case will be born prematurely.¡±


    At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji suddenly squeezed in front of the egg.


    She stretched out a tender white finger and poked the eggshell.


    Immediately, she turned into a green snake and coiled around the egg.

 CH 98.2

    Fu Zhou, Jiuge and Lin Xinghe all took two steps back.


    Fu Zhou: ¡°She¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk yet¡­¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s snake body tightened bit by bit, and slowly, a crack appeared on the egg shell.


    The crack was slowly widening.


    The largest crack in the middle of the egg only had a thin film holding it together.


    Xiao Xue Ji turned back into a human. Her delicate white fingers poked into the crack, and the last bit of film was completely separated, and the two halves of the shell fell open. There was a baby curled up in the huge egg. Its baby-soft hair was thick and its complexion was snow-white. It was completely different from a wrinkled baby born from the womb. Even though it was a newborn, its facial features were quite beautiful. .


    There was no liquid or film in the egg either, just a sponge that looked like a bed, still warm to the touch.


    The baby opened round eyes, and a little hand grabbed one of Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s fingers.


    When it caught her fingers, the baby immediately started crying.


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe felt the ground shaking.


    There was a sound of footsteps outside the house.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°The ghosts are here.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°I set up a barrier, and they can¡¯t get in.¡±


    Lin Xinghe walked out.


    As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the corridor was bustling with ghosts.


    They ignored Lin Xinghe and wanted to come in, but Fu Zhou¡¯s barrier stood firm.


    They finally gave up on forcibly breaking the barrier. Instead, they stopped in place and knelt down one after another, worshiping devoutly in the direction of the house and chanting, ¡°Congratulations to the master for coming to this world¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe felt the pomp and circumstance of the protagonist¡¯s birth!


    The privilege of this setting was simply too ridiculous.


    Lin Xinghe looked at them and found that their eyes were empty, as if they were being manipulated by some other force.


    Xie Wuan suddenly appeared behind her and said, ¡°They have threads on them.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled, ¡°Why can¡¯t I see them?¡±


    Xie Wuan cast a spell.


    Lin Xinghe immediately saw the long threads on the ghost employees that hooked to the little baby. It was also at this time that the elevator door opened. Manager An, Deng Haotian, and all the other tenants were there, and even Lu Qin and a few candidates had the same thread on them.


    When Lin Xinghe thought back to the record, as long as people and ghosts entered this piece of land, they would bow down to the little baby.


    When the baby grew up, it could rule the country.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we have the threads?¡±


    Xie Wuan said indifferently, ¡°Their willpower is not strong enough, so they are easily controlled.¡±


    Lin Xinghe closed the door and ignored them.


    She went back and took a look. The little baby was like a female doll. Her eyes were extremely clear and very clever. Her glass bead-like pupils were scanning the room, and she soon stopped crying, staring at Xiao Xue Ji, her eyes unblinking.


    Xiao Xue Ji was also staring at her.


    Lin Xinghe originally entered this examination room to verify mermaid lord¡¯s theory, and it was already confirmed at Mengpo Bridge. She did not need to explore the plot of this world, find the protagonists, or experience the plot with them.


    But now she had other ideas.


    At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji turned her head and said to her, ¡°Mommy, she is so small.¡±


    The little baby copied, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji was startled and wanted to let go of the baby¡¯s hand, but the baby grabbed her tightly.


    ¡°Mommy.¡±


    ¡°Mommy.¡±


    ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji was happy to be a mother, and her eyes widened on her little face.


    Before Lin Xinghe left, she approached the little baby.


    Except for the first tantrum, the little baby didn¡¯t act like a baby at all. It was a little scary. Seeing Lin Xinghe staring at her, she was not afraid, and she didn¡¯t cry. She just stared directly at Lin Xinghe.


    Xiao Xue Ji finally broke free from the baby¡¯s little hand, hid behind Lin Xinghe, stuck out half of her head, and whispered, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    The little baby called again, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji was suddenly a little angry. Before, she would only say a few words, but now she frowned and said to the little baby, ¡°She is my Mommy, not your Mommy.¡±


    The little baby learned quickly, ¡°She¡¯s my Mommy, not your Mommy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji was so mad that she reached out to hit her.


    Unexpectedly, the little baby held one of her fingers again and softly called out, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°I¡¯m not Mommy.¡±


    Baby: ¡°Mommy.¡±


    After repeating the argument five or six times, Xiao Xue Ji was tired of it and said, ¡°If you call me Mommy, you have to call her Grandma.¡±


    Baby: ¡°Grandma.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji finally did not resist the title and said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Mommy, I have a daughter too.¡±


    The little baby was really smart: ¡°Grandma.¡±


    At this time, the little baby looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xiao Xue Ji taught her, ¡°Uncle Xianjun.¡±


    Baby: ¡°Grandpa.¡±

 CH 99.1

    Regarding Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s being a mother and Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan¡¯s being grandparents, the livestream chat was full of hahahahahahas.


    However, regarding this matter, Principal Wang, who had not watched Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream for a long time, was so angry that his face changed color.


    He asked the female teacher, ¡°Wasn¡¯t the heroine supposed to be born ten years later?¡±


    The female teacher said, ¡°Yes¡­¡±


    Principal Wang pointed to the baby who was giggling with Xiao Xue Ji in the livestream, ¡°Who is she?¡±


    The female teacher was silent.


    ¡­She really didn¡¯t expect Lin Xinghe to force the heroine to be born earlier. Originally, the story timeline here was that the male lead found his father¡¯s relics and heard the story of the female protagonists from Emperor Fengdu.


    However, Lin Xinghe intervened. She should have been born ten years later, and the storyline of meeting the male protagonist was ruined.


    Logically speaking, if the candidates were safe and sound and completed the wishes of the fifty ghosts, the examination room was over. Who knew that Lin Xinghe not only changed the answer, but also forced the heroine out in advance.


    The female teacher had watched Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream before and knew her exam style, so she didn¡¯t let her meet the protagonist. First, she wanted to use this exam room to completely overthrow her rebellious remarks. Second, she was afraid that the heroine would be brainwashed by Lin Xinghe. After all, the heroine in this novel world ha++d a lot of golden fingers.


    Facing Principal Wang¡¯s questioning, the female teacher broke down a bit.


    ¡­She didn¡¯t want this either!


    The female teacher whispered, ¡°As of now, I think¡­¡±


    Principal Wang said, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to think. I will take over from now on. If you can¡¯t handle this trivial thing well, what¡¯s the use of you? You all came up through formal procedures, but none of you are as good as Lao Qin. If it weren¡¯t for Lao Qin¡­¡±


    Before he finished speaking, Principal Wang changed his words and said, ¡°Give me the communicator.¡±


    The female teacher took off the communicator in her ear and handed it to Principal Wang.


    She seemed to want to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, Principal Wang glared at her and said, ¡°Shut up.¡±


    Principal Wang contacted the undercover students in the examination room, but apart from Rick and Roddy, none of them responded to him.


    Principal Wang looked at the female teacher.


    The female teacher said in a low voice, ¡°Because the protagonist was born early, she has a skill in her territory. After entering, those who are not strong of will are easily manipulated by her, and will obey her words¡­¡±


    ¡­Students who took bribes to work undercover¡­ Well, how strong could their wills be? Naturally, the whole army was wiped out.


    The female teacher didn¡¯t dare to say anything because Principal Wang¡¯s expression was already ugly to the extreme.


    Principal Wang had to continue to contact Rick and Roddy.


    Although the two were not manipulated, they also lost freedom to operate. When they heard Principal Wang contact them, they were very helpless, and all they said was that they couldn¡¯t break out of Xie Wuan¡¯s imprisonment.


    Principal Wang turned off the communicator and scolded, ¡°Trash! I carefully selected world experiences for them! In the end, they can¡¯t even handle a few candidates!¡±


    Principal Wang stared at Lin Xinghe in the livestream and sneered, ¡°This exam room can be a gift to her. We¡¯ll see if she can laugh in the next exam room.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for the contract, the female teacher would have resigned long ago for fear of being prosecuted by federal law.


    ¡­What a violently trashy leader!


    Lin Xinghe had a very easy-going attitude towards becoming a grandmother. She was already a mother, so it didn¡¯t matter if she upgrades to become a grandmother.


    What¡¯s more, the granddaughter was very capable.


    While other babies were still babbling, she was already able to express her meaning clearly, and even Xiao Xue Ji, who could only string together a few words and occasionally a sentence or two, became very articulate.


    It was just that even though she could express herself, Xiao Xue Ji still was not very talkative, and most of the time she liked to use single or repeated words.


    When they decided to name the little baby, Xiao Xue Ji said, ¡°The baby¡¯s name is Xuanxuan.¡±


    The little baby pointed to the sunflowers outside.


    ¡°My name is Kuikui.*¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°Your name is Xuanxuan.¡±


    Little baby: ¡°Kuikui.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°Xuanxuan.¡±


    ¡­


    The little baby cried loudly.


    Xiao Xue Ji still said stubbornly, ¡°Xuanxuan, if you call me Mommy, you have to be called Xuanxuan.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s original name was Xue Xuan, the name the Snow Maiden gave her.


    She looked at Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji was arguing with the little baby with single words.


    In the end, the little baby lost to Xiao Xue Ji and admitted that her name was Xuanxuan.


    Only then did Xiao Xue Ji show a happy smile before turning into a ragdoll cat and playing happily with Xuanxuan.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know if it was just an illusion, but she felt that Xiao Xue Ji had grown a little taller.


    However, Lin Xinghe wasn¡¯t too focused on Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s height. There were more important things at the moment.

 CH 99.2

    Lin Xinghe experimented with Xuanxuan¡¯s abilities.


    Any person or ghost who had an invisible thread on their body could not resist Xuanxuan¡¯s order, but if they grew close to death, the person or ghost would suddenly wake up and the thread would be broken.


    Lin Xinghe also experimented with Lu Qin and asked her what her biggest secret was.


    She thought that Lu Qin would confess her dealings with the school. She didn¡¯t expect Lu Qin to spew vitriol at her.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t give up and continued to ask.


    However, unfortunately, Lu Qin blew herself up.


    With a bang.


    Her body was torn apart and blood spattered everywhere.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s barrier isolated Lu Qin¡¯s meat residue and blood in a timely manner, so as not to blow up the top floor of the apartment.


    Lin Xinghe experimented with a few more students who she thought were undercover. Sure enough, if they were about to talk about their undercover dealings, they would self-destruct.


    It seems that the school didn¡¯t trust them too much, so they left a way out for themselves. They probably installed self-destruction bombs on all the spies¡¯ bodies.


    Lin Xinghe used this method to filter out all the undercover students.


    After she filtered through all the candidates, it seemed that the school was really scared of the team in this exam. Not counting the two bosses in Xie Wuan¡¯s space, one-fifth of the 100 students were undercover.


    These undercover agents also blindly trusted the school. If the school could install self-destruction devices on them, how would they be allowed to graduate alive? As long as they got rid of her, the school would probably get rid of them too.


    After Lin Xinghe dealt with the undercover agents, she did not leave the examination room in a hurry.


    Knowing that Xuanxuan was one of the protagonists, she planned to turn the world upside down without killing the NPCs. According to her previous speculations, the school could reset the world anyways.


    Everything would go back to square one.


    That being the case, she would wait patiently and carry out all her plans.


    Lin Xinghe borrowed Xuanxuan¡¯s power to control the important leaders of this country. Some of them were stubborn, so she asked Xie Wuan to lower the opponent¡¯s willpower. In the end, she controlled the propagandaof this country.


    While Lin Xinghe turned the world upside down, she couldn¡¯t help but marvel at how perfect the details of the novel world were. Just like a novel, it had protagonists, supporting roles, and passersby. There were at most dozens of people who were really active in a novel. But in this world, she found that everyone seemed to be an independent individual. Every single person would live their own life to the fullest, and none of them would ¡°power off¡± when the candidates went far from them.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s before-novel, or, to put it more accurately, the world in which she was an NPC, had a movie called ¡°The Truman Show,¡± and the details in it were just like in this world, too perfect to pick out any inaccuracies.


    After Lin Xinghe finished her experience, she didn¡¯t want to stay in this world any longer.


    She sold all the properties in Fujin Garden and converted all the money into gold bars. Because there were too many, she could only put them in identical boxes and stuff them into her storage ring.


    After selling all the real estate, Lin Xinghe returned Fujin Garden to Xuanxuan.


    Lin Xinghe also fulfilled the promise she made to the fifty ghost employees. With the help of Xuanxuan, she undid their imprisonment. They regained their freedom and used the money they earned in Fujin Garden as start-up capital to launch a new ghost life.


    When each ghost employee left Fujin Garden, a cluster of lights emerged from the top of their heads and flew straight to the sunflower fountain.


    Lin Xinghe called the classmates in the group and asked them to claim the light.


    There were only thirty-six classmates in the group plus the four of them, which left a total of ten positions.


    Lin Xinghe thought about it for a while, but in the end, she still left Rick and Roddy alive.


    She didn¡¯t fully understand the origins of Rick and Roddy. Perhaps there was some sort of mystery at work.


    She did not hog all the remaining eight positions, instead granting them to the remaining classmates. After this examination room, the situation in the next examination room was bound to be severe, and the difficulty was very likely to be upped significantly.


    She always believed that an individual could not defeat the school, and that only by working together and fighting as a team was it possible to defeat the school.


    After the fifty ghost employees completely left Fujin Garden, the sunflower fountain burst into dazzling light, and the fountain stopped working.


    At this time, Fu Zhou said with hindsight, ¡°It turned out to be such a blooming method¡­¡±


    He suddenly understood the importance of Xuanxuan.


    Without Xuanxuan, there would be no way to control the world¡¯s leaders and propaganda, and it would be impossible to arrange the future of the fifty ghost employees in just half a month so that everyone could coexist peacefully with ghosts.


    It was also at this time that the voice of the proctor sounded in Lin Xinghe¡¯s mind¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Congratulations on passing the exam. The exam room will be closed in five minutes. No living creatures are allowed to leave the exam room. Please abide by the rules of the exam room. After five minutes, you will enter the next exam room.¡±

 CH 100.1

    Upon hearing ¡°five minutes¡±, Lin Xinghe raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it sixty seconds before? Was the competitive exam room different?¡±


    Fu Zhou was also a little puzzled and said, ¡°It used to be sixty seconds.¡±


    Lin Xinghe understood in her heart.


    With the time difference in between, the school was probably reconfiguring all of the next exam room.


    Lin Xinghe whispered to Xie Wuan, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou, ¡°In the next exam room, the use of all magic and cultivation techniques is probably going to be banned. We must be mentally prepared¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan said indifferently, ¡°That is also not an issue.¡±


    Jiuge: ¡°I also have no problems.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°I¡¯ll let Leiting out and bring it to the next exam room¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was a little hesitant.


    As everyone else knew, Xiao Xue Ji was a ragdoll cat.


    She was the only one who knew that Xiao Xue Ji was not a cat at all. If she arrived at an examination room where all magic and immortality was prohibited, the appearance of Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s human figure would prove to everyone in the livestream that she was not a cat at all.


    Xiao Xue Ji was saying goodbye to Xuan Xuan.


    Xiao Xue Ji originally looked like a three-year-old little girl, and when she played with Xuan Xuan, it was like playing house. Xuanxuan was like her Barbie doll, but she was smart and could talk.


    At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji raised her two tender white arms and lifted Xuanxuan up. After she raised her high and put her down, she stretched out her little hand, touched Xuanxuan¡¯s head, and said to her gently, ¡°Goodbye, Xuanxuan.¡±


    Xuanxuan asked vaguely, ¡°Does Mommy not want Xuanxuan anymore?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji said like a little adult, ¡°If we share a fate, we are destined to meet again.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    After she finished speaking, she patted Xuanxuan¡¯s head again, returned to Lin Xinghe¡¯s side, grabbed Lin Xinghe¡¯s pants, and kept waving to Xuanxuan with the other hand.


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised.


    In just half a month, Xiao Xue Ji and Xuanxuan had become inseparable, and the two little girls had a very good relationship. She was afraid that Xiao Xue Ji would be sad when she finally left, so she warned Xiao Xue Ji that they were going to leave in advance.


    Xiao Xue Ji and Xuanxuan didn¡¯t seem to have any sadness in their parting. On the contrary, they were very calm. For a moment, Lin Xinghe felt that Xiao Xue Ji seemed to grow up in an instant. up. In the blink of an eye, she was calling herself ¡°Mommy¡± wholeheartedly. For example, now, she was pulling her trouser legs. As soon as Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand, Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s little hand grabbed it and said to her, ¡°Mommy, hug.¡±


    Lin Xinghe picked her up, carefully observed her expression, and asked, ¡°Are you reluctant to part with Xuanxuan?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji looked at Xuanxuan. She did not speak and shook her head resolutely.


    But her eyes betrayed her.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.


    It was just that the livestream was still running now. In front of so many people, even if there were any way to secretly transport Xuanxuan out, it would be difficult to hide it from the audience.


    What¡¯s more, Xuanxuan was an unawakened recycled character. When the exam room was over and the school reset it, Xuanxuan would no longer exist.


    Lin Xinghe was about to say something when Xiao Xue Ji put her arms around her neck and suddenly asked, ¡°Will Mommy leave me?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Of course not.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji stretched out her finger, ¡°Mommy, pinky promise.¡±


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand, hooked her pinkie into Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s little one, and said, ¡°Okay, pinky promise.¡±


    At this time, Leiting crawled over, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Xue Ji with twinkling pupils.


    Fu Zhou came to translate and said, ¡°It said that it could protect Xiao Xue Ji in the next exam room.¡±


    Lin Xinghe pondered for a while and finally said, ¡°She is a little tired from this exam room. I plan to let her rest in the portable space next round¡­¡± She touched Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s head and asked in a warm voice, ¡°You can spend the next exam room resting in Mommy¡¯s personal space, okay?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded obediently and said, ¡°Read books!¡±


    Leiting immediately turned around and rushed towards Fu Zhou¡¯s storage ring.


    Fu Zhou felt Leiting¡¯s anger in his heart.


    He stopped it and said, ¡°No, I need you in the next exam room. I¡¯ve asked you to practice hard, but you don¡¯t want to. Now that Xiao Xue Ji is diligent, are you thinking of being diligent?¡±


    Leiting hissed.


    Fu Zhou: ¡°No. Stay with me in the next exam room. Otherwise, you won¡¯t get to see Xiao Xue Ji in the exam room after.


    The livestream chat was full of laughter.


    ¡¾I seem to see a love between a slacker and a scholar. ¡¿


    ¡¾Uwu! The slacker working hard for the scholar is really so cute! XueLei CP! ¡¿


    ¡¾Leiting, as long as you work hard enough, as long as you can catch up with Xiao Xue Ji, you can join a strong family. Xuanxuan is your daughter and Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe are your in-laws! You can save ten years of cultivating struggles! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahaha, don¡¯t say that, Leiting is an up-and-coming snake! He can cultivate into a human form by himself! And speak human language! ¡¿

 CH 100.2

    ¡¾You are all paying attention to Snake Cat Love, but several other streams are shipping other people! Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe really have a sense of CP.  The more you look at it, the more it becomes apparent! Although Xie Wuan rejected Lin Xinghe, he was so different to her! ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, you guys are all shipping people. Only I am paying attention to the exam. Did no one hear what Lin Xinghe said? If the next exam room really bans immortality and magic, wouldn¡¯t it mean that they¡¯re targeting Lin Xinghe¡¯s team? ¡¿


    ¡¾Their team is too strong, isn¡¯t it normal for the school to target them? Otherwise, they would easily pass the exam, what else is there to see? It can only be said that the students who are in the same examination room as them were unlucky. ¡¿


    ¡¾There were people who believed in Lin Xinghe¡¯s nonsense and conspiracy theories before and thought that the school was trying to harm us. Thinking about it carefully, we all died. It was the school that gave us a chance for new students. What reason does the school have to harm us? Those candidates who believed in Lin Xinghe¡¯s conspiracy theory  and followed her in are really miserable. With the teams of Jiuge and Xie Wuan, the difficulty of the next exam room is definitely not easy, and it might be easy for them to die. Koi Sect Sect Leader? More like god of death. ¡¿


    ¡¾Actually, I think what the leader said makes some sense¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Those who think Lin Xinghe is justified are ungrateful. Listen to her words, do you think it is possible? According to her, each of our exam rooms is a fictional world, and each fictional world has its own protagonist. Once the protagonist awakens, the school will send students to destroy them. Taking a step back, even if what she said is true, the school is our parent of reincarnation. So what if we do something for our parents? It is the school that gave us a second life, and it is also the school that gave us a new place to live. As long as we work hard and get the corresponding points, we can return to our original world. What¡¯s wrong with this? What¡¯s more, these statements are all her own nonsense. Does she have any evidence? Just a scribbled notebook by an NPC proves it? Lin Xinghe controlled almost everyone in the examination room in the City of Machines, so it isn¡¯t impossible for her to secretly stuff some of her own stuff inside. ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, I think so too. Lin Xinghe¡¯s blatherings are terrible. You can see from her examination room that it is very easy to fall into her trap and be led by your nose. Those who call Lin Xinghe SL, be careful that you will be used as a messenger. ¡¿


    ¡¾But¡­ our before-novels were novel worlds, not novels. Where does the protagonist come from, and where does the villain come from? Everyone is the protagonist of their own life. Doing bad stuff doesn¡¯t make someone a villain! ¡¿


    ¡¾Okay, then according to Lin Xinghe¡¯s theory, we were all villains in our before-novel and had our own personal consciousness. Why weren¡¯t we exterminated? Instead, we can come to the villain school and have a new life? Besides, the school also said that as long as we can graduate, we can change the script of our lives. These are two different concepts. Don¡¯t be led astray by Lin Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡­


    Gu Taoyao looked at these remarks and couldn¡¯t help but think of the night a while ago.


    She was streaming live in her dorm room.


    Suddenly, she received a message from her homeroom teacher asking her to go to the office.


    When she went to the office, the homeroom teacher was not there, but rather another female teacher.


    Gu Taoyao met her before. This teacher often followed Principal Wang¡¯s side and did not hold any teaching tasks. She was responsible for the management of the school.


    The female teacher had an in-depth chat with her.


    Gu Taoyao was not stupid and knew that the female teacher had something to say.


    However, this was the first time she encountered such a thing. She was a little overwhelmed, so she could only follow what the female teacher said. It was not until the end that the female teacher asked, ¡°Student Gu, do you want to graduate as soon as possible?¡±


    Gu Taoyao naturally wanted to.


    Although she was a villain in the previous world, now that she knew the storyline of the script, she could regain control of her life after returning, avoid the protagonist, and live a different life.


    Gu Taoyao nodded.


    The female teacher said, ¡°Congratulations on getting a free pass. As long as you can complete the task we give you, the pass is yours¡­¡±


    The female teacher glanced at her wristband and said, ¡°Although you are a D-level now, you are lucky. After the task is completed, you will get extra points, complete all the studies in our villain school, successfully graduate, and get a new life.¡±


    Gu Taoyao recovered.


    All the livestream chats were discussing Lin Xinghe, even the ones that weren¡¯t in the competitive exam room. In this exam, Lin Xinghe stayed in the limelight too long. Her previous remarks on the playground made everyone in the school aware of her. In connection with the Koi Sect, she already had a faint trend of surpassing the original Xilin.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s stream popularity had dropped out of the top five. Now that the top five livestreams were occupied by various freshmen, more and more people had published similar warnings about Lin Xinghe.


    Gu Taoyao thought about this and fell into deep thought.

 CH 101.1

    After Lin Xinghe put Xiao Xue Ji in her portable space, she quickly took out a backpack from it, which contained two weeks¡¯ worth of dried food, some daily necessities, and two sets of clothes suitable for the cold.


    No matter what type of exam room it was, if all props and skills were banned, food and water were the most basic survival needs.


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe also reminded everyone out loud.


    After Lin Xinghe packed her backpack, five minutes had passed.


    The spacetime rift opened again.


    Lin Xinghe was the first to enter.


    The familiar dazzling white light lit up, and it faded, she found herself in a supermarket similar to Walmart.


    She was surrounded by rows of shelves, but there were no items on them, and one or two shelves had fallen to the ground. The ground was a mess, full of rubbish, and half-opened bags of potato chips littered the ground. The ground was covered with ants and a few bloody footprints.


    Lin Xinghe took a sniff.


    She smelled a sour and rotten smell.


    The supermarket was too big, and she couldn¡¯t tell where it came from.


    The entire supermarket relied on weak emergency lights for lighting, so the surrounding environment was dim and the visibility was not high.


    Lin Xinghe checked the portable space.


    It was indeed locked.


    She went to check the interplane store on her wristband, and she couldn¡¯t access anything. She could only check her basic information. It seemed that the functions of the interplane store were also disabled.


    Lin Xinghe took out her mobile phone and attempted to send a message to Xie Wuan, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou.


    According to her previous experience in the examination room, in the city of machinery, although magic and immortality were banned, the message function of her phone could still be used normally. However, she had no teammates in the city of machinery at that time, so it meant no difference to her whether she could use it or not.


    Now that she had teammates, it was natural for her to contact her teammates as soon as she landed.


    However, the phone showed no signal.


    In every exam room before, the mobile phone had signal.


    At the same time, the prompt of this exam popped up on her wristband¡ª¡ª


    Survive nine days in the apocalypse.


    Although Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream was dropping in popularity, she had now entered a new examination room. After everyone received the news, most of her previous audience still came to see it.


    After all, her team was considered to be very strong in previous exams. Now, when they saw Lin Xinghe¡¯s start, everyone was a little worried.


    ¡¾It¡¯s too bad, it¡¯s an apocalypse. Generally, these exam rooms won¡¯t ban any personal skills. Now the school has not only banned personal skills but also restricted communication signals. Lin Xinghe has basically landed in an apocalypse alone. I don¡¯t know if there will be common apocalyptic zombies in this exam room. If there are, Lin Xinghe is a girl with no strength, and she will die violently in minutes against zombies. ¡¿


    ¡¾Zombies can¡¯t understand human language. No matter how powerful Lin Xinghe¡¯s mouth is, this time, she can only rely on hand-to-hand combat. ¡¿


    ¡¾The school is really cruel. ¡¿


    ¡¾This kind of targeting is too obvious, light a candle for SL. ¡¿


    ¡¾You guys are saying that the school is cruel. How come no one mentioned what Lin Xinghe did before? So what if the disobedient students are punished? Even if she was thrown into the pile of zombies before the exam, the school would be considered kind. ¡¿


    ¡­


    In fact, it wasn¡¯t that Principal Wang didn¡¯t think of such a beginning against Lin Xinghe, but it would really be too obvious if he had done that. He limited all personal skills, magic, cultivation, and communications systems.


    However, Principal Wang was still quite satisfied with the current beginning.


    In the empty supermarket, there was no water or food. The only two exits¡­ Well, one was blocked by a group of shambling zombies, and the other was watched by mutant zombies.


    Considering Lin Xinghe¡¯s past performances, the mutant zombies were only stronger, their IQ did not evolve, so they could not communicate with Lin Xinghe.


    Principal Wang also considered that Lin Xinghe would bring food and water, so he chose this place specially. The zombies in this world had a keen sense of smell, and the scent of people excited them. Within an hour, the zombies would swarm in and follow the scent to Lin Xinghe.


    By then, the thorn in his side would be resolved, and the school would return to its former peace and tranquility.


    Principal Wang watched Lin Xinghe coldly.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe took out a headlamp from her backpack.


    The emergency lights here were probably about to run out of power. As time went by, they became more and more dim. After Lin Xinghe put on the light, the surroundings suddenly brightened a lot.


    Although she couldn¡¯t contact anyone, she was still very calm at this time.


    She patrolled the supermarket lightly, trying not to make any noise. The supermarket was not small, but the food shelves were all empty, as were the shelves for daily necessities. There were only some large electrical appliances that were inconvenient to transport. Most of the ground was in a mess, and there were rotting corpses everywhere.


    Lin Xinghe lowered her head to observe the corpses.


    The prompt was to live for nine days in an apocalypse. According to the school¡¯s ways, she wouldn¡¯t be able to live too well. Every day would probably have a different death predicament. The background was set in the apocalypse. There would probably be the normal zombies and mutated ones with extreme abilities.


    Judging the wounds of one specific corpse, Lin Xinghe noted that they were not man-made and seemed more like the bite marks of a large beast.


    Lin Xinghe felt that the possibility of zombies was very high.


    It took her about 20 minutes to go through the whole supermarket. She found two exits in total, which were both tightly shut tin doors. Most supermarkets had escape exits, but the escape exits here were filled with cement, and the elevator was broken and full of garbage.


    She held up a supermarket guide torn from the wall.


    The supermarket was on the ground floor and there were two more floors above.


    She looked at the map carefully.


    Lin Xinghe stood in front of one of the exits, thinking quietly.


    She had enough food on her to survive for half a month, but the school would make it impossible for her to stay there unharmed for that long.


    She basically killed all the undercover agents in the school, and she also found the protagonist of the last exam room, which turned the whole novel world upside down. The school would not accommodate her anymore.


    In addition, she teamed up with Xie Wuan, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou, who were all very powerful people. This examination room would definitely try to break them up and impose restrictions on their abilities.

 CH 101.2

    The livestream audience was all looking at Lin Xinghe.


    From Lin Xinghe¡¯s line of sight, they could only see the cold iron gate.


    It took five minutes for them to hear Lin Xinghe chuckle softly. She asked politely, ¡°Please cut to me in the stream. I want to be in high-definition, okay?¡±


    Generally, when candidates made such a request, the live cameras would intelligently follow the candidates¡¯ commands.


    Lin Xinghe paused for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know which person in the school is targeting me, no matter which teacher it is, I will attribute it to your leader, Principal Wang. Principal Wang. Hello, I¡¯m Lin Xinghe from the first class of the modern department. Judging from the landing location and treatment, you must be eager to get rid of me¡­¡±


    She lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile, ¡°¡­But don¡¯t worry, I accept this challenge. I know that I performed too well in the last exam room. You didn¡¯t succeed in breaking through by force or outsmarting me. As soon as I landed, I was arranged clearly. My teammates are powerful, so you limited their abilities. As a student of the modern department, I didn¡¯t strengthen my body, and I didn¡¯t have any force value, so you just left me here. Except for the two exits, everything else is  blocked off. As for these two tin doors, no matter which one I choose, I will die, right?¡±


    She pointed to the tin door in front of her and said, ¡°There must be some deadly monsters behind this, such as zombies. If I open this tin door, they will swarm in and strip my flesh down to the bone¡­.¡±


    She sneered softly, ¡°Principal Wang, did you know? If I came to give the prompts, I would definitely not give them this. I know you are going to deal with me, so I don¡¯t have to think about the prompt in this exam room or explore any plot. I only need to speculate on what you plan to do, and after predicting your actions, I know what to do next¡­¡±


    She suddenly made an ¡°ah¡± and said again: ¡°By the way, I have half a month¡¯s worth of water and food in my backpack. I know that this tin door will not last long even without me opening it. Well, after all, you can¡¯t let me eat and stream here for half a month¡­¡±


    She showed a very exaggerated distressed expression and said in a similarly exaggerated tone. ¡°So there is not much time left for me! I have to think about what to do! Anyway, I can¡¯t stay in this place. But thanks to Principal Wang! After predicting your actions, I know that these two doors cannot be opened.¡±


    ¡¾Oh! SL calls out President Wang! ¡¿


    ¡¾The leader challenges the authority of the principal! This is sarcasm hahahahahahaha! ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯ve fallen in love with a person like Lin Xinghe! This is the first time I have seen a student so boldly challenge the official authority! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe is a good talker and can spew nonsense at a glance. How could she guess all the thoughts of the proctors? ¡¿


    ¡¾If the two iron gates really had zombies behind them, it would be too maddening! The school can¡¯t be so inhumane¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m on Principal Wang¡¯s side. I¡¯ve never seen such a rebellious and arrogant student. Does she really think the world revolves around her? She insulted Principal Wang in public! If I were Principal Wang, I wouldn¡¯t like her style and would go out of my way to get rid of her too? ¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe challenged the principal in public. In just a few minutes, the audience rushed to tell other people. Soon, a large number of audiences gathered in her livestream, and her popularity rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Many students had to sigh. In terms of being eye-catching, Lin Xinghe was indeed a professional.


    Principal Wang listened to the whole process and did not miss Lin Xinghe¡¯s provocative eyes and exaggerated tone.


    Principal Wang considers himself healthy. He could walk up all the stairs to the eighteenth floor without getting out of breath. Over the years, he never had a headache or a cold, but now he felt a dull pain in his temples.


    He slapped the table and sneered, ¡°Let¡¯s see how long you can be arrogant for.¡±


    Before he finished speaking, Lin Xinghe had already retreated from the tin door.


    She found a large amount of abandoned gasoline in the supermarket.


    It took her ten minutes to pour the gasoline around the inside of the supermarket.


    Immediately afterwards, she went straight to the electrical area, picked up a chainsaw and an electric drill, plugged them into the emergency power supply, and bored a hole in the wall.


    There was no way to get through, so she forced a way out.


    She looked at the guide map when she was just patrolling, and behind this wall was a dressing room.


    She was petite and thin, so she only needed to open a small hole at the bottom of the wall, and then easily plug it up after she got out, which could buy her more time to escape.


    Lin Xinghe worked with quick, practiced motions.


    She went inside and looked at the environment in the dressing room. After confirming that there were no hostiles inside, she came back outside. She went back to one of the tin doors and opened a small gap.


    It was just such a small gap, and immediately a withered hand clasped the edge.


    But in an instant, more and more bloody hands and stumps forced themselves in through the gap.


    The tin door was shaking wildly.


    It was as if countless people were banging on the door frantically, and there were beast-like calls.


    She ran away immediately.


    She was running out of time. If she were faster, she would definitely have gone to open the other door. It was a pity that she was just an ordinary modern city dweller.


    When she ran back into the hole, the zombies had already broken through the tin door.


    A group of zombies swarmed in.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe lit the gasoline with the lighter she had taken out of her backpack.


    At the same time as it was lit, she quickly rolled to one side with her head in her arms.


    With a loud bang, the gasoline leapt into flames.


    She raised her head and said, ¡°Principal Wang, this is the lunch I made for you. It¡¯s called Zombie Stew in a Pot. I wish you a happy meal.¡±

 CH 102.1

    Principal Wang looked at the sky full of fire, and his face became ashen.


    Five minutes ago, his lunch had just been delivered.


    He slowly opened the sumptuous meal of four dishes and one soup, lifted the lid of the thermos box, and was planning to enjoy his lunch happily while watching the school¡¯s problem child turn into zombie lunch. He even planned to enjoy the dessert as a celebration.


    However, his chopsticks froze before reaching the mouth.


    The five words ¡°Zombie Stew In A Pot¡± successfully made Principal Wang unable to eat.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe dragged the cabinet beside her to block the entrance of the hole to prevent zombies from crawling into it. She did all this before quickly leaving the locker room. As indicated by the map, as soon as she exited the dressing room, there was a staff path leading to the first floor.


    Lin Xinghe said as she walked, ¡°Give me another shot of the live broadcast.¡±


    She said, ¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Lin Xinghe. In the past, everyone watched how I took the exam in my livestream. In this exam, I plan to show you my unique exam secret. No points will be charged! Online! Teaching! But will it solve your personal problems? Everyone, get out your notebooks!¡±


    ¡¾The secret of the exclusive exam? Ahhh I want to be the first to sign up! My notebook is out! ¡¿


    ¡¾Mine also¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Heh, what about the group of people who were still talking about the leader¡¯s low IQ? Why don¡¯t you come out now? There¡¯s nothing to say¡­¡¿


    ¡¾The slap in the face came really fast. ¡¿


    ¡¾The second door wasn¡¯t even open, isn¡¯t it a normal setting to have zombies in the apocalypse? You can¡¯t say that the school is vicious just because she happened to meet a zombie¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Do you want SL to confirm to you whether there were zombies behind the second door? That would be fatal. ¡¿


    ¡¾Some school licking dogs really are shameless. Do you think that if you kiss the school¡¯s ass extra hard, you¡¯ll get extra points? ¡¿


    ¡¾Don¡¯t talk nonsense, please quarrel elsewhere. I want to know the secret of SL¡¯s unique exam strategies. It¡¯s better to copy the notes of the SL and graduate and leave the school as soon as possible. ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe continued to quickly walk towards the exit on the first floor.


    Her headlamp illuminated the road ahead.


    There didn¡¯t seem to be any trace of zombies walking through here, and the floor was very clean and tidy.


    She said, ¡°Based on the cleanliness of the ground, the zombies behind the tin door should have been trapped on purpose. Judging from the large amount of gasoline and rotting corpses in the supermarket, this supermarket was probably a survival camp. ¡­¡±


    She found the stairs to the first floor.


    She went up.


    She walked quickly, but her voice was not flustered or scared, and she was even quite calm.


    In the past, Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know where her self-confidence came from, so she subconsciously thought it was her good luck, but now she knew that it was not good luck. Her self-confidence, her consciousness, and her overall way of viewing things were from the results of countless training as NPCs of different worlds.


    There were no traces of any zombies walking in the stairwell.


    She walked to the first floor without any obstacles. According to the guide map of the supermarket, she effortlessly found the exit on the first floor.


    She added, ¡°The floor below exploded, and the fire spread quickly. I was on the sublevel, and I could feel the residual heat. I believe it will spread to the first floor soon. I told you just now, according to Principal Wang¡¯s thought process, there was definitely a group of zombies or an unknown mutant creature behind the second iron door. They probably felt the power of fire and will no longer stay like sitting ducks. It will not take long to break the iron door. The building has five exits, and according to the map, the only way the monsters can escape is¡­¡±


    Her fingers moved on the map, pointing to an exit.


    She said, ¡°It¡¯s my exit, so I have to get out of here quickly or I will definitely collide with it or them. But the unknown apocalyptic creature behind the second iron door should also be trapped. Breaking its trap would also take time, which is just enough time for me to escape¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe stepped out of the exit.


    It was a clear day outside. The sun was extremely bright, the sky was azure blue, and there were no clouds in the sky. It seemed like a normal day with excellent weather.


    However, as soon as her eyes fell on the ground, Lin Xinghe knew that the world in front of her was a real apocalypse.


    The lights on the skyscrapers no longer operated.


    The streets were dirty and festering, reeking of a fishy odor. All the vehicles were rusted and abandoned, parked haphazardly on the streets. Broken glass littered the ground, and lively green weeds crawled on the telephone poles. The streets were empty and there were no traces of life.

 CH 102.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 102.2


    Lin Xinghe said, "It is important to observe the environment. From the setting, it seems that we are not in the early stages of the apocalypse. Now that there are no zombies roaming the streets, it is possible that the zombies in this world are afraid of light and can only move around in the dark. But this is just speculation, it has not been confirmed..."


    She smiled and said, "But it''s not difficult to prove it."


    She looked around, eventually targeting an abandoned off-road vehicle fifty meters away.


    The door was intact and could be temporarily used as a shelter.


    She ran over quickly and pulled open the door.


    The doors were not locked.


    She quickly got in and sat in the driver''s seat, staring at the rearview mirror and looking at the door of the supermarket.


    She glanced at the car dashboard.


    As she expected, no gas.


    Ten minutes passed.


    The supermarket had already started to emit thick smoke.


    However, there was still not a single zombie running out.


    Lin Xinghe stared at her surroundings in the rearview mirror.


    She whispered, "It¡¯s an apocalypse now. Apart from zombies, there may be other creatures, such as evolved plants and evolved animals. After all, I still don''t know why the apocalypse came about. Once I figure that out, I may be able to get a stronger grasp on our enemies. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies can we be victorious in every battle..."


    Before she finished speaking, there was finally movement at the door of the supermarket.


    A figure two meters high ran out of the thick smoke. It was a zombie.


    There were also many strangely shaped zombies on fire behind him.


    They didn''t move forward at the door of the supermarket, as if they were afraid of something.


    The fire gradually spread.


    Lin Xinghe could see the fire catching up to them, but the group of zombies did not dare to move forward.


    Soon, Lin Xinghe discovered something.


    The tall zombie in the front of the group was communicating with other zombies. Those zombies didn''t seem to understand his words, but they were afraid of him. Lin Xinghe was far away, so naturally she couldn''t hear what they were saying, and the fire soon spread.


    Lin Xinghe saw the zombies being burned alive at the door. The tall zombie left the supermarket and quickly ran to the nearest building.


    Lin Xinghe said, "It seems that the zombie behind the second iron door is an evolved zombie that can resist the sunlight during the day. The other zombies that have not evolved would rather be burned to ashes than take half a step out of the supermarket door, so they must be afraid of the sunlight during the day. Therefore, in this apocalyptic world, it is safer to walk during the day, as long as you do not encounter evolved zombies. But from how the evolved zombie acted just now, it seems that it  prefers dark environments..."


    She raised her eyebrows and said, "Principal Wang, this is really embarrassing for you. There is a large group of ordinary zombies hidden behind an iron door, and a mutant zombie is hidden behind the other. Principal Wang, do you know what Lu Xun said? When God closes a door and a window, you have to find a way to open other doors and windows. As for roads, as long as someone walks it, it¡¯s a road..."


    ¡¾Who is Lu Xun? ¡¿


    ¡¾Maybe a celebrity from Lin Xinghe¡¯s before-novel?¡¿


    ¡¾This is not the point. The person who just said that there was nothing behind the second iron door, come out! Put your face out! Get slapped hard! ¡¿


    ¡¾The school is really black-hearted, I would definitely die if I were there. The only two exits are the both of death! ¡¿


    ¡¾To tell the truth, what SL did is not too much, right? Doesn¡¯t this just raise your own doubts? Does the school need to be so cruel? It''s just to get SL to die. Others would have been killed long ago. ¡¿


    ¡¾Although I know that the school is not a charitable organization, nor is it a benevolent one, such practices and behaviors can easily make students feel chills...¡¿


    ¡¾It doesn''t mean that if you give us a second life, you can do whatever you want to us...¡¿


    ¡¾What is the difference between this and the parental innocence theory? I give you life, what I do to you, and what I ask you to do is right. You are not filial if you do not appreciate and do not follow my requirements! But who has asked if the child is willing to be born? Has anyone ever asked whether the students who entered this school came in voluntarily? For some people, death is liberation, and they may not be happy to be reborn again. ¡¿


    ¡¾Anyway, I learned a lesson! Next time I need to choose, I will not choose this. I will make another choice myself, lest the school is trying to trick me! ¡¿


    ¡¾Vicious, Cruel Principal Wang! Best girl Lin Xinghe! ¡¿


    ...


    The fire in the supermarket has been burning for a long time, and it still hasn''t gone out.


    It even raised the surrounding temperature.


    Lin Xinghe stayed in the car for a full hour, eating compressed biscuits while admiring the fire, and she opened a bottle of mineral water along the way.


    She looked at the sky.


    It was still early, and it seemed like it would be a while before the sun went down.


    She pondered slightly.


    After a while, Lin Xinghe took a sip of water. She swallowed it slowly, tightened the cap of the mineral water, and snapped her fingers with a sweet smile, "Hey! Please give me the livestream scene again!¡±


    Now that Principal Wang heard this sentence, he was starting to have heart palpitations, and his head started to hurt again. Looking at Lin Xinghe''s smiling face, he really wished that he could become a zombie king and go in and tear her to pieces, especially that motherfucking mouth of hers!


    --------------------

 CH 103

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 103


    However, Principal Wang couldn''t get in and tear Lin Xinghe''s mouth apart.


    Lin Xinghe sat in the car and tilted her head slightly, looking at the rearview mirror in the car. She adjusted the angle and said slowly, "I will stay here until the sun goes down."


    "...The problem-solving ideas I told you earlier are actually basic logic. Here is my exclusive problem-solving secret. From now on, don''t call me SL, don''t call me by name, please call me Teacher Lin! Teacher Lin will show you how to easily pass an exam."


    "...According to my previous inference, this is a novel world, with protagonists and villains. Do you know what the three essential elements of a novel are? Characters, plot, and environment. Characters include protagonists, supporting characters and passersby or cannon fodder. Presumably everyone understands that the plot and environment of a novel serve the characters, or more specifically, the protagonist. Every novel has a protagonist.¡±


    Lin Xinghe spoke with a dry mouth. She unscrewed the mineral water bottle, took two sips of water, and said, "The same is true for our examination room. Now my examination room is in an apocalypse. There must be a protagonist. My prompt in this exam room is to survive. From the topic, you will find that there is no conflict between me and the protagonist. I can safely hug the protagonist''s thigh. After all, the protagonist is the protagonist. Even if it''s a tragedy plot , the protagonist has plot armor for much longer than most people do. If you choose to stay by the protagonist''s side, your chance of survival will be greatly increased. And because this person is the protagonist, being by this character¡¯s side means choosing the right key NPC. There is a certain probability of triggering a mission that can give strong equipment..."


    "...But if the prompt is something like killing XX, or looking for XX, or destroying XX, you have to review the questions carefully, because it¡¯s likely to be related to the protagonist. But building a relationship with the protagonist won¡¯t hinder you. When you get to know the protagonist, you can discover more of the story¡¯s plots. As long as you can harden your heart enough to stab the protagonist, dig out the protagonist''s heart and lungs, or even dig the protagonist''s grave, then there is no problem."


    Lin Xinghe took another sip of water and said with a smile: "That went too far. Let''s get down to business. After talking about the characters, let''s talk about the plot settings. I''ll take the supermarket just now. As you can see, there is no food in the supermarket, but there were a lot of barrels of gasoline as well as several rotting human and zombie corpses. Outside the two unsturdy iron doors, there were a group of zombies and a mutated zombie. This can illustrate the fact that there used to be a survival camp in the supermarket. This meant that the humans had some technological advancement that allowed them to hide from the zombies for so long. The iron door is not strong, but they had not been broken open..."


    "But something must have happened to them, so they evacuated. They must have been in a hurry since they only took food and water and left the gasoline. With this much gasoline, there were likely at least 30 people. ¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe tilted her head and said, "I know you must have doubts in your heart now. What does what I said have to do with the exam prompt? Of course it¡¯s important! This goes back to the setting of the novel itself. As we all know, in a novel, the plot and environment, and even the supporting role and passersby, all serve the protagonist. For a setting like a supermarket, at present, although it is not a big scene, it is not a small scene either. It¡¯s a former survival stronghold. With a  group of zombies, so much gasoline, and a mutated zombie, this scene was at least a part of the book. Even the ink used to write the novel has to serve the protagonist..."


    "...If you are lucky, you might meet the protagonist. Maybe in the novel setting of this world, the supermarket plot is related to the protagonist. But if you are unlucky, this subplot might not necessarily involve the protagonist. After all, it is not a particularly big plot. If you land in the exam room and encounter a big scene, such as a rampage of thousands of zombies fighting against a bunch of magicians, then congratulations, the protagonist is connected. Just stare at the most powerful people, and you¡¯ll find the protagonist. But the most powerful person may not be the protagonist. The most powerful person may be the protagonist''s love interest, sibling, friends, relatives, or even the archenemy who had been entangled with the protagonist for an entire book. Of course it might still be the protagonist. After all, it is very popular in many novels now that the protagonist is a boss from beginning to end. All in all, there is nothing wrong with fixating on the most powerful person, even if it is not the protagonist, without fail, they will lead you to the protagonist!"


    "However, if you land in a setting that is not too big or small like I did, you don''t have to worry. Even if you can''t meet the protagonist in such a setting, you will meet characters who have interacted with the protagonist. Problem solving is to be done step by step..."


    ¡¾I can''t tell whether Lin Xinghe is talking nonsense or is really teaching¡­¡¿


    ¡¾If what she said is true, wouldn''t her remarks on the playground before have been confirmed? Are our examination rooms really worlds of fiction? ¡¿


    ¡¾I don''t believe it. If this were the case, everyone would go and hug the protagonist''s thigh. ¡¿


    ¡¾Whether you believe it or not, I will believe whatever Teacher Lin says. Teacher Lin is first place in every examination room, even the examination room where Xie Wuan was. With so many bosses in a group with her, I wouldn''t believe her if she wasn''t outstanding. I will try this method in the next exam. ¡¿


    ¡¾I also want to try... ¡¿


    ¡¾Aren¡¯t you afraid that you will be deceived by Lin Xinghe''s nonsense? ¡¿


    ¡¾Look at SL¡¯s exam sand you''ll know. ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Didn¡¯t anyone think of one thing? If SL¡¯s words are confirmed, wouldn''t anyone be terrified? ¡¿


    ...


    Lin Xinghe said this, but she didn''t care if anyone believed it.


    The eyes of the masses were sharp. When people tried these things and tasted the sweet flavor of success, they would naturally be convinced and become loyal supporters of her theory.


    Lin Xinghe added, "This is the end of today''s class. Teacher Lin will be offline for the time being..."


    Her eyes fell on the rearview mirror.


    The blazing fire caught the attention of others.


    An off-road convoy came from the northwest and stopped near the supermarket at this moment.


    A green vehicle took the lead and a man stepped down first. He looked up at the supermarket.


    The other vehicles also parked, and a dozen people in full armor disembarked. All of them were men, and they were all holding wooden equipment in their hands.


    Lin Xinghe wasn''t too far away, so she could clearly see their appearances, but she couldn''t hear what they were talking about.


    But it was hard to see through the window.


    At this moment, a woman with a delicate figure stepped off the first truck. In such an environment, she was still wearing a red tight miniskirt that limited her mobility, which highlighted her assets.


    As soon as she got off, she stuck to the man''s arm.


    Lin Xinghe was naturally too far to hear her, but the woman''s figure and face were very good looking. From her expression, it could be seen that the woman was coquettish.


    The man seemed to be very appreciative and immediately stretched out his arm and wrapped it around the woman''s waist.


    Looking from Lin Xinghe''s angle, she happened to see the man groping the woman''s ass.


    There were a lot of people around him who clearly saw this action, but none of them reacted. Obviously, they were used to it.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, Teacher Lin''s class is here again."


    She raised her chin and said, "Have you seen this? This kind of frivolous action on the spot, and in such a style, would definitely not be done by the protagonist. There is a certain probability that this cannon fodder will become the fertilizer for the protagonist''s growth. The protagonist might be killed by the supporting characters or the villain. But you can always follow them to the protagonist."


    However, Lin Xinghe didn''t plan to go up rashly.


    In this situation, the best thing to do was to quietly observe them.


    After all, in the apocalypse now, a little carelessness could easily lead to death.


    Besides, there was a mutated zombie in the building next door.


    There were so many living people here now, and at the same time, she could observe what skills the mutated zombies had other than not being afraid of sunlight.


    The most appropriate strategy right now was to stay there.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe keenly discovered something.


    The mutated zombie that ran from the supermarket to the building next door, at this moment, stuck its bloody head out from the sixth floor.


    --------------------

 CH 104.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 104.1


    Lin Xinghe observed the mutant zombie on the sixth floor.


    The zombie had long hair, but its bloody facial features made it impossible for her to tell whether it was a female zombie or a male zombie. Its body was almost completely hidden behind the window, and only half of its head was exposed.


    She realized that it was also watching the humans below. Not her, but rather the group of people who got out of their cars.


    The mutant zombie slowly pushed more of its body out.


    The people were either too unvigilant or too focused on the fire. They didn¡¯t notice her or the mutant zombie.


    This zombie¡¯s mutated body broke through the original tattered clothes, and its exposed arms and half of its chest faintly showed the blood vessels and organs inside.


    The stream viewers also saw it, and they all sighed at the intelligence of the zombie.


    And Principal Wang, who had been squatting in Lin Xinghe''s livestream, raised his lips slightly.


    He looked at the mutant zombie, eyes full of pride.


    This was the examination room he had carefully selected for Lin Xinghe.


    This mutant zombie was an IQ-type zombie that could live to the middle and late stages. After the protagonist got their crystal nucleus, it awakened a new ability. This zombie had not yet completely mutated into a high-IQ zombie.


    However, even if it eventually mutated into a high-IQ zombie, it would not communicate with humans. From the moment it became a zombie, a thirst for blood flowed through its veins, and the meaning of its existence was to slaughter humans.


    This was one of the characters that Principal Wang admired the most after reading through the whole text quickly.


    In the original plot, the supermarket was originally a survival camp occupied by the important supporting character Su Zikang. However, when the villain attacked, the two sides fought inside the supermarket and were evenly matched. At a critical time, the two sides encountered mutant zombies and had to join forces to imprison the zombies in the supermarket.


    Su Zikang knew that they couldn¡¯t  stay in the supermarket for too long, and he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the mutant zombie, so he hurriedly moved out of the survival base.


    Not long after, the other villain of the novel, Wang Mao, the leader of the convoy, lacked gasoline. When they heard that there was a large amount of gasoline left by other teams in the supermarket, they considered leaving for the gas. However, hey encountered the mutant zombie in the supermarket, and in the end, except for Wang Mao, the entire team was wiped out.


    Wang Mao''s situation was not very good. He was bitten by the mutant zombie and almost turned into a zombie. Fortunately, he had a serum and was able to save his life in the nick of time. Unfortunately, one of his arms was bitten off, and in his crippled state, he met the second female lead of the novel, the heroine''s sister.


    Wang Mao was also one of the characters that Principal Wang admired. He was quite egoistic and always thought that others were wrong and he was right. He was also paranoid. Principal Wang liked these traits very much, since it meant he would not easily be led astray by Lin Xinghe. Wang Mao was also a ruthless character who never takes pity on good looking girls. When encountering a lone character like Lin Xinghe, Wang Mao would definitely straight-up kill her directly and steal her equipment.


    However Lin Xinghe would be killed, Principal Wang was optimistic.


    As for Lin Xinghe''s teammates, he arranged for them to land at a distance of three or four thousand kilometers away. In this apocalyptic world where you could only travel by vehicles and zombies went rampant at night, even if they wanted to rush over and to save Lin Xinghe, they had to drive themselves for at least three to four days straight. And even so, the premise of that was that they could escape the attack of zombies at night and pinpoint exactly where Lin Xinghe was.


    Principal Wang was very satisfied with his selection of the exam room and prompt.


    So what if she was running off her mouth during the exam?


    Who cared if she were telling the truth?


    As long as she died in this exam room, the students who listened to her now would know that if they take the exams according to what she said, there would only be death.


    After Lin Xinghe died, they would just give a bunch of exam settings and prompts that had nothing to do with the protagonists. Everyone who followed Lin Xinghe''s teachings would end up dead, and soon, no one would remember her existence.


    How glorious was a student like Xilin? How difficult was it to throw her off? Didn''t she still end up in his hands?


    Principal Wang sneered when he saw the smile on Lin Xinghe''s mouth.


    At this moment, the mutant zombie shrank back into the window.


    Among the living people present, only Lin Xinghe paid attention to the whereabouts of the mutant zombie. Soon, Lin Xinghe saw that the mutant zombie had jumped out from the window onto the other side, which happened to be in the line of sight of the convoy team.


    Then, the mutant zombies approached silently.


    In an instant, it silently killed the two people in the back row.


    Lin Xinghe witnessed everything and couldn''t help but be surprised.


    This mutant zombie actually knew tactics!


    This was not a mindless zombie that only knew how to bite people and was afraid of sunlight. It had some modicum of intelligence.

 CH 104.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 104.2


    When the mutant zombie killed the fourth person, a scream from the woman in the car brought the leader Wang Mao back to his senses, and he shouted loudly: "Fire!"


    The wooden rifles lifted the dust on the ground.


    Wang Mao obviously had experience in dueling with zombies, and he took the rest of the crowd to deal with the mutant zombie with ease. However, they soon discovered the problem. Even if the other zombies were not headshot, as long as they were hit by bullets, they would slow down their actions and give the humans more time. But the zombie in front of them was different. Not only was it unafraid of the sun, it could also freely move during the day, and the most terrifying thing is that it was not afraid of their wooden rifles. Even if the bullets hit it, its movement did not slow down.


    Wang Mao''s complexion suddenly changed, and he said, "Damn, this is not an ordinary mutant zombie!"


    "Brother Mao! Save me! Freeze it!"


    Wang Mao said coldly, "Do I need you to order me around?"


    Before he finished speaking, Wang Mao had already activated his ability.


    The mutated zombie''s feet burst into a frost-like color, sticking to it firmly, and spreading upward at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the mutated zombie was frozen from the thighs down.


    Wang Mao immediately shouted, "Everyone back up, get into the cars!" before saying,"Qin Yan, the water wall!"


    The woman beside Wang Mao shouted loudly, "Water!"


    As soon as the voice fell, the mutant zombie was immediately surrounded by a thin wall of water. Wang Mao activated his ability again, and in just a few seconds, the water wall was frozen into an ice wall.


    Lin Xinghe could see clearly in the car, and she could hear clearly.


    It seemed that the leader had an ice-type ability, while the woman had a water-type ability. It was convenient that they were matched together.


    Lin Xinghe thought about it, and saw that the people in the convoy team had already gotten into the car. Just when they started the car, the ice wall surrounding the mutant zombies was already in danger of melting under the high temperature of the supermarket fire.


    The next moment, the mutant zombie had broken free from the shackles of frost.


    As soon as the shackles fell, the mutant zombie pounced onto the vehicles.


    The battle suddenly heated up.


    Lin Xinghe''s viewers also watched with great interest. After all, such battle scenes were very rare in Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestreams. Lin Xinghe would always avoid fighting scenes and replace battles with unimaginably mouth-watering or brainwashing behaviors if possible, developing into scenes that the people unexpectedly enjoyed.


    However, at this moment, the battle scene disappeared.


    Instead, Lin Xinghe turned on her phone.


    ¡¾Ah ah ah it''s gone! ¡¿


    ¡¾What''s the difference between this and watching a dama halfway through and suddenly inserting an advertisement! Are there any other candidates present? I want to watch them fight! Mutated zombies are a bit exciting! ¡¿


    ¡¾There are no other candidates, I checked the other candidates¡¯s streams. None of them seem to be closer to the teacher! ¡¿


    ¡¾Has anyone watched Xie Wuan, Jiu Ge, or Fu Zhou''s livestreams! ¡¿


    ¡¾Report! Jiuge landed at the base in District A. Because he was banned from magic and could not use props, Jiuge is currently at a disadvantage. Fu Zhou brought Leiting to the base in District B. Thanks to Leiting, he¡¯s enjoying VIP treatment. And Xie Wuan landed on a desert island full of mutant plants. ¡¿


    ¡¾I''ve seen the world map of the base in District A, but I didn''t see where SL landed. Anyway, it''s not near the base in Areas A or B. ¡¿


    ¡¾Silently light a candle for Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe, both of whom are targeted bosses. ¡¿


    ¡¾T_T I don''t care what other bosses are doing, I just want to watch the zombie battle now! Why is SL looking at her phone at such a critical time in the championship! Even if she didn¡¯t care about the battle, it''s time to run! In case the convey team escapes, there will be only one living person left around the mutant zombie! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hey, when did SL make this video? ¡¿


    ¡¾It seems to be a video of just before the mutant zombies left the supermarket door...¡¿


    ¡¾Eh! SL turned off her phone! ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh! The battle is really fierce! Both SUVs rolled over! Two people are left! ¡¿


    ...


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe opened the car door.


    She walked out in good faith.


    She was only about 100 meters away from the battle center. When she left the vehicle and was exposed to the air, the mutant zombie noticed Lin Xinghe first.


    Wang Mao was second.


    When Wang Mao fought against that mutant zombie, he had already discovered that under the high temperature fire next door, his ice-type ability was useless, and Qin Yan''s water-type ability was not very lethal. They couldn''t trap the mutant zombies at all. Now, a strange woman appeared and attracted the attention of the mutant zombies. Wang Mao was overjoyed and immediately fled in the opposite direction.


    But for a few seconds, Wang Mao heard a strange voice from the strange woman.


    He turned his head to look.


    The mutant zombie stared blankly at the strange woman.

    ¡¾Fuck? Does SL even know the language of zombies? ¡¿


    --------------------

 CH 105.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 105.1


    Lin Xinghe had a period of experience as a zombie NPC, but it wasn''t a pleasant one.


    In that fictional world, she was neither the protagonist nor a supporting role, but just a presence in the crowd of passersby without any background. The beginning of the story was the sudden oncoming of doomsday, the spread of the secret virus, and human beings mutating and becoming zombies.


    The apocalypse caused society to devolve into chaos, and many human beings became victims of the secret virus. In the bustling streets of the past, zombies were rampant.


    And she was in such a group of zombie NPCs.


    She roamed the streets for half a month and was shot in the head while attacking a person.


    In that world, zombies could communicate with each other, and they had their own language system.


    Now, in this apocalyptic environment, there were also zombies. Although they didn¡¯t know why the apocalypse happened, they were all zombies. Even though the language was not exactly the same, there was a foundation, and it was not difficult to learn. Just like some dialects of the same language system, although the words spoken in different regions are not the same, they could all be understood.


    Of course, there were also cases where some dialects are completely incomprehensible, but obviously, what Lin Xinghe was currently encountering was a dialect that she could understand.


    The physical conversation between the large group of zombies and mutant zombie at the entrance of the supermarket just now wase¡ª


    "It''s so hot ahhhhhhhhhhhhh."


    "I''m afraid boohoohooooooo..."


    "Hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy¡­"


    "Brother, why are you different from us?"


    "None of your damn business."


    "Ah, I can''t step out, I will die."


    "Brother, take me with you."


    "Fuck off."


    The video recorded by the mobile phone was far away, so naturally, she couldn¡¯t hear the sound and could only interpret based on body language.


    Based on past experience, Lin Xinghe translated it and came to the conclusion that mutant zombie were not easy to mess with.


    That was one of the reasons why she didn''t show up in the first place.


    Although they could communicate, they were of different races. If she were a person with a cruel personality, no integrity at all, no moral bottom line, and no human nature and planned to enjoy a steak dinner, and the cow she was about to slaughter spoke broken Chinese, would she stop eating steak?


    No, she wouldn¡¯t.


    However, the appearance of the convoy team and the subsequent performance of the mutant zombie made Lin Xinghe change her mind.


    She found that the mutant zombie was extremely smart, knew how to observe secretly, and understood fighting tactics. When it was fighting against the team, she quietly opened a window and heard the mutant zombie say, "Oh, stupid humans."


    Such a tone made Lin Xinghe confirm one thing.


    This zombie was not an incommunicable beast.


    As long as there was a chance at  communication, there had to be an opening that could be broken through.


    So Lin Xinghe boldly stood up.


    She said to the mutant zombie, "Brother! I am also a mutant zombie! One of your own kind!"


    Her phrase "brother" was from the ordinary zombies before, but the words after were all from the zombie language in her memory. Her words were a gamble. If the mutant zombie didn¡¯t understand her, she could only submit to her death.


    However, Lin Xinghe had always been very confident in his luck.


    Sure enough, she was right.


    The mutant zombie showed a confused expression.


    Lin Xinghe confirmed that the mutant zombie could understand her words.


    Lin Xinghe continued, "Brother, don''t be in a daze, we are the same people! Our own kind of people! It is inconvenient for me to explain the situation to you now. We will first agree to team up and get rid of the two human beings, and then I will explain my situation to you in detail. You have to believe me, I am like you! I am a zombie! I also evolved from your situation! I am now the highest-level mutant zombie!"


    The expression of the mutant zombie was still slow.


    Naturally, Wang Mao couldn''t understand what Lin Xinghe was saying, but it was impossible for him to stay behind and figure it out.


    Wang Mao slammed on the accelerator.


    The vehicle zoomed off in an instant.


    From the corner of Wang Mao''s eyes, he glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw the strange girl who appeared out of nowhere, talking with exaggerated body language. The glass window of the vehicle was smashed by the mutant zombie, so he could hear the girl making a strange and harsh voice, as if communicating with the mutant zombie.


    He heard that there were many scientists at the base in District B who were developing antibodies to the zombie virus that would save the world. Among them, there were many alternative scientists who studied the zombie languages.


    Wang Mao sneered when he heard it.


    ... Zombies were bloodthirsty monsters, and their instinct was to kill. Studying their language? Was communication useful? Bloodthirsty monsters had no human values at all.

 CH 105.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 105.2


    Therefore, at this moment, Wang Mao felt that the strange girl who suddenly appeared was a lunatic, and would probably become the mutant zombie¡¯s next meal.


    Simply stupid.


    But thanks to this lunatic, they had a chance of escape.


    The rule of the apocalypse was the survival of the fittest, and idiots were destined to not live long. It was a pity that the female lunatic looked delicious. She and Qin Yan were two completely two different styles. If the timing was better, he could have tasted the female lunatic''s body.


    Although Wang Mao was slightly distracted, his skillful driving skills allowed him to quickly distance himself from the mutant zombie.


    Seeing the mutant zombie gradually turn into a dot in the distance, Wang Mao sneered, and said to Qin Yan next to him, "We lost a lot of money in this operation, so we should really go to the base in District A. The people with special abilities are all there, and the crowd will welcome us. I am an attack-type ice element, and although you are only an support-type water element, I will not leave you for the length of our relationship."


    Before he finished speaking, Qin Yan raised her voice and screamed.


    Wang Mao was a little displeased and scolded: "What nonsen..."


    Before the last word was spoken, Wang Mao only felt the roof of the car sink, followed by a rotten and sour smell. A bloody and ugly face slammed against the windshield in front of him.


    It was the mutant zombie from just now!


    Wang Mao''s complexion suddenly changed, and he immediately activated his ice ability to reinforce the windshield in front of him. Then, he erected two ice walls for the windows on both sides.


    Wang Mao was shocked.


    Even though he was talking to Qin Yan just now, the speed of the car did not decrease at all, and the accelerator was stepped on all the way.


    No matter how fast this mutant zombie was, it couldn¡¯t teleport, right?


    It was also at this time that Wang Mao heard a strange cry again.


    He turned his head distractedly and saw that it was the lunatic girl from just now.


    She was driving a battered sedan with the windows fully down, and she was making a beast-like noise in the car. The mutant zombie in front of the windshield also made the same sound, and then the mutant zombie disappeared.


    Wang Mao saw the crazy girl beckoning to him by the car window.


    "Your car is about to overturn," she said.


    As soon as Wang Mao reacted, there was an abnormal noise from the bottom of the car. In an instant, he felt the world spinning, and the whole vehicle was overturned by the mutant zombie. The head of the mutant zombie wasstill stuck to the ice in a deformed posture.


    It grinned.


    "...No ice on the bottom, attack from there. Oh, forgot to translate..."


    "...#E%#%...#%#."


    The girl''s voice was sweet and soft, but when it reached Wang Mao''s ears, it made him feel cold all over.


    ...Fuck.


    Lin Xinghe''s livestream was also filled with ¡°fuck¡±¡¯s.


    ¡¾...Sorry, I was wrong, SL can only be SL. It¡¯s definitely not because of luck, definitely not because of koi! SL¡¯s sect be renamed! The Koi God Sect is not worthy of the leader''s IQ and language talent! ¡¿


    ¡¾What the fuck hahahahahaha, this unexpected and reasonable feeling is really exclusive to SL hahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m! Always! Thinking! SL! How can you act straightforwardly! Never thought that the SL would speak to zombies! Sure enough, a mountain is still a mountain high! ¡¿


    ¡¾I just want to know what Lin Xinghe and the mutant zombie said! ¡¿


    ¡¾The tables have turned! This year, people who cannot speak interspecies languages are not worthy of watching! ¡¿


    ¡¾What is the origin of SL? This language talent is incredible! She just watched a video! There is no sound? ? Is this the legendary prodigy? ¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck, I''m envious! ¡¿


    ...


    At this moment, Principal Wang''s heart was also full of ¡°fuck¡±¡¯s.


    Principal Wang: ?


    Principal Wang: ? ?


    Principal Wang: ? ? ?


    ¡­Are you serious?


    ¡­Fuck, it''s true.


    Lin Xinghe got along with the mutant zombie character he admired. It should have crunched her all up. He was just about to pick up his lunch and eat it, but¡­


    The picture that appeared now was that Lin Xinghe was indeed babbling, but the mutant zombie understood it!


    It¡¯s listening! And understood it! !


    He didn''t understand it! The mutant zombie understood it!


    Then, the mutant zombie obeyed Lin Xinghe''s command and became Lin Xinghe''s knife, Lin Xinghe''s sword, and Lin Xinghe''s slave! Like a dog! Go after Wang Mao and Qin Yan!


    And now the mutant zombie dragged Wang Mao and Qin Yan out of the car!


    Under Lin Xinghe''s command, the two were tied up!


    Lin Xinghe: "#%#%&%...&...&."


    Mutated zombie: "@##%#%#%#."


    Lin Xinghe: "#%#%#%#%#%#!"


    Mutated zombie: "@@##@@#."


    The two chatted happily.


    Principal Wang himself did not even understand the punctuation.


    Principal Wang''s face was ashen, and after a long search, he found the contact information of the author of this novel.


    He immediately logged into the interplane network and contacted the author named Nicholas Zhao San.

 CH 106.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 106.1


    Nicola Zhao the Third was an eighteenth-rate interplanar novelist.


    When the interplane became popular, Nicola Zhao the Third captured business opportunities with her business sense and followed the hot spots to create a lot of interplane opportunities. She was a faithful trend-chaser, and as long as she made money, she would write anything.


    Over the years, with a typing speed of 20,000 words per day, he created a pipeline of female romance novels while sipping on physical strength medicine. In just five or six years, she wrote sixty or seventy novels, following the trend at each stage. Tragic romances, fake and real daughters, swapping twins, black, white, lotus, green teas*, three and a half, four and a half, five and a half years old, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth boss is my father, school romance, kabedon kissing, all were written by Nicola Zhao the Third.


    She was not the most gifted novelist, but she was definitely a diligent one.


    Although none of the follow-up novels she wrote over the years were very popular, she made some money by virtue of the number of novels she wrote. A new entertainment and culture company bought a large number of copyrights to make movie adaptations. Although individually the prices weren¡¯t that much, by the virtue of the sheer number of novels she wrote, she made a fortune, bought a property in the wealthy RH18 star, and also owned a luxury aircraft.


    When Nicola Zhao the Third received the message from Cash Cow A, she immediately got up from bed.


    Her heart pounded in her chest.


    ...She recently had the intention of buying a second property. Now that Cash Cow A was contacting her, she was going to make it big again.


    Nicola Zhao the Third put on a bunch of makeup hurriedly, called, and smiled sincerely.


    The person on the call wasn¡¯t anyone she knew The person who handed over the copyright to her before explained that this was the boss of their company, Mr. Wang.


    "Hello, hello..."


    President Wang asked her, "Are you Nicola Zhao the Third? Is "Apocalypse" your work?"


    Nicola Zhao the Third nodded.


    This kind of assembly line work, she wrote at a speed of 20,000 a day and then forgot about it. She didn¡¯t remember its contents at all¡ªonly the male protagonist and the heroine''s name.


    She calmly opened a document of the outline and characters of the work and replied, "Yes, this is my work."


    Although she couldn¡¯t go into the details, she still knew the general story of the whole book. After all, they were what got her money.


    When the company asked to buy her copyright, she thought they were cheats. The company''s requirements for authors were extremely harsh. Most companies only required their authors to write in the protagonist and supporting roles, but this company required every character to have a concrete design with at least 1,000 words of description, even if they might not appear.


    The brilliance of money made Nicola Zhao the Third write earnestly and clearly in accordance with Cash Cow A''s request. Although she didn''t know much about it, she also knew that after the concept of interplane was confirmed and widely used in life by the Federation, many new industries were born, and it also led to the revival of many old industries, such as livestreams.


    Nicola Zhao the Third didn¡¯t really know what the company did after buying her copyright. There was a clause in the contract that stated that the work would have nothing to do with the original author within 50 years after her death. Even though she knew this wasn¡¯t normal, she needed the money, so she signed the contract decisively.


    Now she was still very happy to receive a call from Cash Cow A.


    She asked, "Is there any problem with this book? Or is there anything that needs to be revised? Do I need to add and modify new characters?"


    Nicola Zhao the Third was still quite used to the style of this company, which made her do countless additions and modifications to the character settings before.


    Unexpectedly, the boss on the call said, "The mutant zombie in this book..."


    Nicola Zhao the Third immediately turned to the character design of mutant zombies.


    In this novel, the character of the mutant zombie was added later. After all, it was just an unimportant character and had no lines. However, Cash Cow A required a lot more, so she added the character description later.


    She quickly browsed through the character description of exactly 1,000 words and read it world for world, "In the early days of the apocalypse, he was a part of the third batch of people who became zombies after being bitten by zombies. He mutated either by chance or because of the fact that he happened to appear in an area that is prone to mutation, he..."

 CH 106.2

    Cash Cow A interrupted her on the call, and a rather odd statement came out.


    Nicola Zhao the Third felt that he was scolding her, but she was not sure. She hesitated and asked, ¡°What are you saying?¡±


    Cash Cow A: ¡°@#¡­%#%@¡­¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third: ¡°???¡±


    Cash Cow A: ¡°Do you know what I just said?¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third: ¡°Uh, I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Cash Cow A: ¡°Do you have a language system for zombies in your novel world?¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third rose to the occasion, ¡°Mr. Wang, it is not impossible. As long as the money is in place, everything can be said. I can set up multiple zombie languages


    for you, and I will send it out within a week.¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third felt that Cash Cow A¡¯s expression was not very good and suddenly thought that she might have been getting ahead of herself. But in business, if the money was not negotiated, it was difficult to say anything. This point, Nicola Zhao the Third was still very insistent on.


    Nicola Zhao the Third wanted to say something, but Cash Cow A said coldly, ¡°No need.¡±


    Then he directly hung up on her.


    Nicola Zhao the Third rolled her eyes.


    ¡­Wasting her makeup.


    She had originally wanted to sell some of her remaining drafts to make some money to buy a second house, but after seeing how blackhearted the company was, she wasn¡¯t so sure anymore.


    After thinking of this, Nicola Zhao the Third casually flipped through the news that popped up in her mind.


    She usually didn¡¯t like to watch financial or political news, but she did like to watch celebrity gossip. Usually, when her mind sent something up, she swept it away and forgot about it in a blink of an eye. It just so happened that the Federal Financial News that popped out today contained the face of Cash Cow A.


    Nicola Zhao the Third took a few glances.


    It was an interview with Cash Cow A.


    From this point of view, Nicola Zhao the Third realized that Cash Cow A was quite powerful. In just five or six years, he walked out of the barren star and started a company on the most prosperous RH18 star, catching up with the trend of the interplane era. With smart chips, his company pioneered AI smart entertainment, successfully squeezed into the top ten of the federal wealthy people quotations, and bought a barren planet on the edge of the galaxy with a considerable amount of money.


    Nicola Zhao the Third positioned herself.


    ¡­Cash Cow A¡¯s planet was in a remote location, the kind of location that a person like her wouldn¡¯t even go even if she were paid.


    However, she could understand Cash Cow A¡¯s behavior. According to federal law, as long as one could pay enough taxes, one could get the ownership of a planet. As long as the planet was privately owned, anything could be done on it without violating federal laws.


    If she had money, she would also buy a planet and create an endless sea in it, with a different sky seven days a week, the aurora, the stars, the river, the blue sky, and the clouds all tossing up.


    It was a pity that she couldn¡¯t afford the expensive fee.


    Nicola Zhao the Third searched for Cash Cow A¡¯s planet in her CPU, but unfortunately did not find any pictures and videos of it. She only found that many interstellar citizens praised Cash Cow A Wang¡¯s company.


    ¡°The immersive experience is amazing! I have experienced a love affair of the century! The NPC inside is so real, I¡¯m really going to fall in love with her.¡±


    ¡°T_T, the male protagonist in the novel world I entered was such a scumbag. In the beginning, he abused the heroine, tried to make up for it by doing so many outrageous things, and in the end, she ended up with him in a happy ending! I¡¯m so angry! I spent all my money and went broke just to experience the world over and over again and make the heroine and the second male lead get together! Finally, on the nineteenth time, I succeeded!¡±


    ¡°Oh, do you mean the book ¡°Divorce?¡± I have been blacklisted by this company. The male protagonist NPC was too scumbag, to the point where I couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. I killed the male protagonist and then got put on the blacklist of this company.¡±


    ¡°¡­You killed the male lead? I was almost killed by a female lead. Fortunately, the staff rescued me in time.¡±


    ¡°The last time I went in with streaming equipment, it was blocked. Why is everything so outdated?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it so? Every time you enter the immersive story, it¡¯s like a military lockdown. There are layers of security checks and various inspections. You can¡¯t bring any equipment in, you can only bring things provided by the company¡­¡±


    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s the only immersive experience in the whole galaxy, there will inevitably be more rules and regulations. If you don¡¯t respect the rules, you can¡¯t play. My fairy! She¡¯s so cute! When I¡¯m sad, I go in and see her fall in love! Every time I see her smiling happily, it makes me feel like I can work harder tomorrow!¡±

 CH 107

    Nicola Zhao the Third itched to see the stories these comments referred to.


    Being a creator, she didn¡¯t have much time for entertainment. She had never had an immersive experience, so she also wanted to see how it was like.


    She quickly found the address from her CPU. It was in the business district of the planet where she lived. It was not cheap. The price of experiencing a novel was 5,000 to 10,000 stars. The average price of a meal on RH18 was only one or two hundred star stars, which showed how expensive it was.


    However, Nicola Zhao the Third made a lot of money, and this much was still affordable.


    There were quite a few novels to choose from on the page.


    Nicola Zhao the Third flipped through it for a while and found that the novels provided every day were different. For example, there were eight different novels to choose from today and they were divided into A/B/C/D grades. The higher the grade, the higher the price, and the immersive experience would be better.


    The AI customer service recommended to her sweetly, ¡°Dear, is this your first time here? What kind of stories do you like? Recently, many dearies like Western fantasy stories from ancient times. We can also provide you with clothing and makeup. Have you ever experienced an ancient cruise ship? Want to have a cruise trip? Want to see tall and mighty monsters? If you like it, you must not miss the book ¡°Rose Oath!¡± And as long as you choose your books now, it will start in an hour. We¡¯re just missing one person to start!¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third looked at the introductions of other novels and was still mainly interested in the novel ¡°Rose Oath¡±.


    This was a great heroine, quite a Mary Sue. All the men in it fell under her pomegranate skirt and she finally climbed to the peak of life.


    The AI customer service also recommended, ¡°Which grade of tickets do you want to buy? For grade A customers, we will send them to the heroine. If you don¡¯t like to be around people, you can choose to book a venue.¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third finally bought a ticket for grade A, and the AI customer service immediately sent her the room number and secret key and explained, ¡°You can enter the room through your CPU in an hour. The experience time is 24 hours. Do you want any trigger warnings? In addition, if you feel unwell, you can choose to leave. You are not allowed to attack any of the NPCs in the novel. If the NPCs die, you will need to pay one million stars and become blacklisted from our company. Please use your chip to scan your eyes and confirm your signature.¡±


    Nicola Zhao the Third remembered the comments she saw not long ago.


    ¡­ The interstellar citizen who could experience these novels countless times must have been impossibly rich.


    Her small apartment in the capital cost 6 million stars.


    Nicola Zhao the Third signed, and she didn¡¯t need any trigger warnings. After waiting for an hour, she lay on the bed, navigated her brain chip, and entered the room with the secret key. In a blink of an eye, she entered the virtual world.


    Nicola Zhao the Third usually played holographic games, but after all, the NPCs were always just codes. As a writer, she was extremely picky about character design. She always found it boring to play or too fake, and she couldn¡¯t immerse herself in those fictional worlds.


    She never thought that the company experience of Cash Cow A, Mr. Wang, was excellent!


    Nicola Zhao the Third was stunned.


    The world of ¡°Rose Oath¡± was too real!


    After she entered this world, she was surrounded by a crowd. Not too far away was a huge cruise ship with Alpine Rimerose written on it. She randomly found an NPC to talk to, and their way of answering was not the same. Each NPC had its own personality. No matter how tricky of a question she asked, they all had different answers, as if they were real people.


    The sound of the waves and the roar of the ship horns were so real.


    Nicola Zhao the Third looked down at her outfit, and sure enough, the AI customer service arranged for her clothes, makeup, and hair to fit in with the times. Probably because she was a Grade A guest, her facial features were also slightly rearranged. She took out a mirror and looked at herself¡ª she looked worlds better than she did in real life.


    Not long after, a girl came over with a smile and held her hand.


    Nicola Zhao the Third knew that she was the heroine, and only then did she know that the AI


    customer service had arranged her identity as the best friend of the heroine.


    Nicola Zhao the Third finally knew why Cash Cow A asked her to write so many irrelevant characters. It seemed that it was for this immersive experience. For example, her current character was inserted as the heroine¡¯s friend and had nothing to do with the plot.


    Nicola Zhao the Third readily accepted such a character, went on a cruise ship with the heroine, experienced the transportation of  the Middle Ages, and tasted the food of ages past.


    Nicola Zhao the Third came in after reading the brief introduction of the novel and did not know the details of the development of the novel.


    So much so that Nicola Zhao the Third was taken aback when all the staff on the cruise turned into ghosts after nightfall. Fortunately, she followed the heroine and successfully hid in a dark secret room.


    Her heart was beating wildly.


    ¡­Wow! So exciting! No wonder some people wanted to experience it a second time!


    Not long after, Nicola Zhao the Third saw a strange voice again. Their bodies were green, they were very tall, their heads were white and green, and they could speak human words. As soon as they came in, they met the heroine¡¯s eyes.


    Then, Nicola Zhao the Third began to watch him fall in love with her.


    She later learned that this species was called the hadal ogre, and the hadal ogre who fell in love with the heroine was called Anthony III.


    Nicola Zhao the Third thought that Anthony III was quite handsome, but after reading the introduction to the novel, she knew that this was the second male lead, so she could only silently light a candle for him in her heart.


    Sure enough, the heroine finally joined forces with the hero to kill Anthony III.


    Before Anthony III died, his eyes were full of unwillingness mixed with love for the heroine. Nicola Zhao the Third was moved by his acting skills. None of the actors in real life were as good as this NPC!


    Nicola Zhao the Third fell in love with the role of Anthony III, so much that she felt it was unsightly when she saw the emotional scenes of the hero and the heroine later. She used the identity as the heroine¡¯s friend to turn them against each other. However, the heroine and the hero had CP fans. Although she tried to trick them, some other players were unwilling to watch it happen and joined forces to suppress her. Nicola Zhao the Third was so angry that she planned to play again this time next week. She worked hard to pair the heroine and the second male lead Anthony III!


    But Nicola Zhao the Third still couldn¡¯t do this. After all, the cost of a game was not cheap. With that much money, she could even go to the surrounding planets to vacation for a few days.


    When Nicola Zhao the Third turned off her chip, she was full of admiration for Cash Cow.


    All the intelligent AIs on the market today were unable to achieve such real feelings. After all, no matter how real they were, they were still bionic robots. The intelligent AI of Cash Cow A, President Wang, was different, almost like a living person.


    ¡­¡­ Arrogant, too arrogant! This technology was so real!


    ¡­ If Cash Cow A couldn¡¯t make it into the top ten of the interstellar rich list, her wallet would disagree!

 CH 108.1

    Principal Wang hung up the phone and cursed.


    ¡°Trash, all trash!¡±


    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t buy these cheap copyrights. She doesn¡¯t even understand the language in the book!¡±


    ¡°Garbage!¡±


    Principal Wang looked at Lin Xinghe on the livestream and couldn¡¯t hold back his vitriol, ¡°I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t kill you!¡±


    By the time Principal Wang made a phone call, it was already night in the examination room.


    Wang Mao and Qin Yan¡­ the mutated zombie¡­


    Oh no.


    The mutated zombie now had a name.


    His name was Xiao Zang.


    In order to facilitate communication with him, Lin Xinghe presented him with five possible names, namely A-Zang, Zangzang, Zang-Er, Lao Zang, and Xiao Zang.*


    The mutant zombie chose the name Xiao Zang.


    *Zang for zombie!


    After Wang Mao and Qin Yan were taken out of the vehicle by Xiao Zang, Lin Xinghe stopped Xiao Zang from eating them. Lin Xinghe communicated with Xiao Zang, ¡°They can be used by us.¡±


    Xiao Zang expressed doubts.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Brother, believe me.¡±


    In the eyes of Wang Mao and Qin Yan, the communication between Lin Xinghe and Xiao Zang was full of discord. The girl in front of them looked like a normal human being, but she communicated with a mutant zombie calmly and frankly. Judging from her behavior, she was fraternizing with the enemy.


    However, in the current situation, Wang Mao also knew that the girl in front of him prevented the zombie from killing them.


    The mutant zombie was able to restrain its killing instinct, which secretly startledWang Mao, and the way he looked at Lin Xinghe was also very different from before.


    Wang Mao tentatively talked to Lin Xinghe.


    However, as soon as he opened his mouth, before the words could even come out, Lin Xinghe picked up an iron rod from nowhere and swung it towards the back of their heads.


    Seeing that they had lost consciousness, Lin Xinghe said to Xiao Zang, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll do it. It¡¯s getting dark, and the fire in the supermarket won¡¯t go out for a while. It might even burn for a few days. Let¡¯s take them and find another place to rest. There, we can think about the long-term plan. Little zombie brother, don¡¯t worry, we are the zombies on the same boat! I will help you become the highest-level mutant zombie!¡±


    Xiao Zang looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe patted her chest hard, ¡°Trust me!¡±


    Just when Lin Xinghe thought that Brother Xiao Zang would not cooperate, he snorted coldly and heaved Wang Mao and Qin Yan onto his back as if he were carrying disobedient chickens. He jumped up onto the roof of the car.


    Lin Xinghe started the vehicle.


    She felt that Xiao Zang was very smart and had his own personality.


    She didn¡¯t force Xiao Zang to get into the car. It was already dark, and she still had to find a place to rest. Although Xiao Zang could communicate with her at present, his temperament was unpredictable. After all, he was a zombie¡ªthe bloodthirsty nature of killing was engraved in his bones. She had also been a zombie, and she knew very well what she would do under the drive of instinct.


    The setting of this novel world was that ordinary zombies could only move after nightfall. It was dark now, and it was really unsafe to stay here. She also didn¡¯t know what difficulties Principal Wang had set for her.


    When Wang Mao woke up, he found himself in a closed room. If it weren¡¯t for the pain in the back of his neck, he would have thought he was dreaming.


    He had not seen such a clean house since the start of the apocalypse. The floor was spotless, the tablecloth was covered with embroidered flowers, and there was a bucket of instant noodles on the tablecloth.


    A plastic fork was placed on it, and the tantalizing aroma floated towards him in waves.


    A plain white hand suddenly appeared, pulled out the plastic fork, and completely lifted the paper cover, making the beef noodles more fragrant.


    Wang Mao couldn¡¯t help swallowing.


    His appetite disappeared in an instant when an disgustingly large zombie face suddenly appeared in front of him.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Brother Xiao Zang, come and sit, don¡¯t scare him.¡±


    Xiao Zang looked at Lin Xinghe, and then at Wang Mao until Lin Xinghe spoke again. He snorted and sat down on top of the table, staring at the bucket of instant noodles.


    Xiao Zang didn¡¯t really fit the aesthetics of human beings, but Lin Xinghe still turned a blind eye to his appearance and rolled up a fork of instant noodles and put it into her mouth. She ate it like it was very delicious.


    Seeing this, Wang Mao really didn¡¯t know whether Lin Xinghe was human or not. With his lesson learned, he cautiously did not speak, and just watched Lin Xinghe eat instant noodles.


    Lin Xinghe ate for ten minutes, until all the noodles and soup were in her stomach.


    Fortunately, she had foresight and knew that Garbage Principal Wang was likely to ban magic, so she brought a simple backpack. Otherwise, in this apocalypse, she would have to scavenge to find something to eat.


    After Lin Xinghe finished eating the instant noodles, she finally set her eyes on the two people who were tied to the ground.

 CH 108.2

    At this time, Qin Yan also woke up.


    She opened her eyes, but before she could react, the tip of her nose strangely felt wet, and her nostrils were filled with a strangely rotten scent. After she reacted, her pupils instantly dilated and she screamed, ¡°Ah¡­¡±


    She quickly backed away, but she was bound, and Wang Mao was next to her, unable to move at all. She was so frightened that she was drenched in sweat, and her whole body was shaking like chaff in the wind.


    The water that sprayed out from her paralyzing fear was like a child¡¯s toy water gun, shot at the face of the mutant zombie.


    Xiao Zang roared and opened his mouth to bite Qin Yan.


    Qin Yan was so frightened that she closed her eyes, but the pain didn¡¯t come for a long time. She quietly opened her eyes, only to see a girl about her age grabbing the mutant zombie and communicating with him. The bloody mouth of the mutant zombie was closed, and he squatted next to the girl.


    Qin Yan opened her mouth wide in surprise¡ªthis was the first time she had seen such a strange situation.


    She looked at Wang Mao sitting beside her.


    Wang Mao had calmed down at this time and imperceptibly glanced at her.


    Qin Yan and Wang Mao had been fighting side by side for a long time, so naturally, they understood each other¡¯s hidden signals.


    But at this moment, Lin Xinghe suddenly said with a smile, ¡°I advise you not to act rashly. This brother beside me is not an ordinary zombie, and your skills combined together cannot fell him. I will save your lives because I think you are useful. If you are not obedient, your life will be forfeit¡­¡±


    She squatted down, raised Qin Yan¡¯s chin with one hand, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked like she was born harmless and innocent. If she hadn¡¯t seen the other dragging a mutant zombie with her own eyes, Qin Yan would definitely have dismissed those words at this moment. She whispered, ¡°Qin Yan, yan for sparrow.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Your ability is the water element, right? Can you produce water out of thin air?¡±


    Qin Yan said, ¡°I need a medium. Outdoors, I take the water from the soil, which means my powers are stronger. Indoors, the building is made of reinforced concrete and has no water content. I can only squeeze a little water out of the air.¡±


    Lin Xinghe understood and said, ¡°Okay, I don¡¯t need a lot of water. Just get me a basin of water.¡±


    Lin Xinghe found a water basin indoors.


    She and Xiao Zang found this house in an abandoned villa area. When she came in, she checked and found that there were no zombies. The items in the room were well preserved, and there were no signs of damage, but neither the water nor the power worked.


    Qin Yan activated her water-type ability and produced a large half of the basin of water.


    She didn¡¯t know what Lin Xinghe wanted to do and looked at her with suspicion.


    Lin Xinghe found a clean towel, soaked it in water, and started to wipe the blood on Xiao Zang¡¯s face little by little. She patiently combed through his knotted hair, and even plucked out the human intestines that he couldn¡¯t reach.


    Qin Yan said that not much water could be squeezed out of the room, so she opened the window and asked her to go outside the window to activate her water ability.


    Lin Xinghe also washed Xiao Zang¡¯s head with expired shampoo and conditioner.


    Nearly an hour later, Xiao Zang had a new look.


    Although he still stank of rot, he looked much more sleek overall. Lin Xinghe found a large piece of clothing from the wardrobe and put it on for him. Because there was a hole in his face, Lin Xinghe put on a mask and a single eye patch for him, revealing his relatively intact eye.


    After his wet hair dried, she tied it into a low ponytail.


    Probably because of his tall stature, he looked like a wandering artist, all except the smell of decomposition on his body.


    Lin Xinghe was very satisfied with her masterpiece.


    Qin Yan and Wang Mao were both stunned.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s stream audience was also stunned.


    ¡¾This is called Miracle Zombie Transformation? ¡¿


    ¡¾Geez, this zombie is so obedient! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL turned an apocalyptic examination room into a casual fashion show style by herself hahaha! ¡¿


    ¡¾Does anyone think this zombie looks like a husky?¡¿


    ¡¾Why did the leader dress the mutant zombie? ¡¿


    ¡¾Anyway, no matter why, the test question is to live for nine days in the apocalypse. It seems that SL¡¯s first day can be spent safely and comfortably. Although she can¡¯t use any magic or the portable space, SL now has a well-behaved mutant zombie! A mutant zombie that ordinary zombies can¡¯t beat! ¡¿


    ¡¾In this way, compared to the landing places of other students, Lin Xinghe had the most comfortable one, although it was very dangerous and thrilling! ¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe was also testing the bottom line of the mutant zombie in front of her when she was cleaning Xiao Zang¡¯s body.


    She found that he did not resist her touch.


    When she washed him, dressed him, shampooed his hair, and even pulled the rotten flesh on his body, he didn¡¯t have any extreme physical reaction. Even though there would be a rumbling sound in his throat, he didn¡¯t stop her.


    ¡­It seemed that this zombie could not only communicate but also be tamed.


    At this moment, Xiao Zang was looking down at his clean palms, his eyes unblinking.


    Lin Xinghe told him warmly, ¡°This is the first step towards becoming a high-level zombie.¡±


    Xiao Zang was still squatting on the ground, and his exposed eye stared straight at Lin Xinghe.


    At that moment, Lin Xinghe felt that something strange flashed in her heart, but it was fleeting.


    Xiao Zang¡¯s throat rumbled again, and then he snorted out of his nose.

 CH 109.1

    Lin Xinghe felt that, in addition to being short-tempered, Xiao Zang was also a bit arrogant.


    Having these attributes was always a good thing because it proved him to be more and more like a human being and not a zombie.


    Lin Xinghe tentatively reached out and touched Xiao Zang¡¯s head.


    Xiao Zang turned his head away and roared at her.


    However, because he was wearing a mask, the sound came out muffled by the cloth, so it was not so deterrent.


    Lin Xinghe withdrew her hand without changing her expression and finally set her eyes on the two in front of her again.


    She cleaned up Xiao Zang¡¯s dirty and bloody body. Hishands that had touched blood and flesh for too long had turned wrinkled and peeling. She asked Qin Yan to produce a basin of water again and carefully cleaned the dirt between his fingers. Finally, she took out a tube of hand cream from her backpack in front of Qin Yan and Wang Mao. She applied a small amount of cream, rubbing slowly on the palm of his hand.


    She said casually while rubbing, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry that I haven¡¯t introduced myself yet. As you can see, I¡¯m a bit special, and not in the matter of being able to communicate with zombies. I¡¯m not really a human, I¡¯m the most advanced of mutant zombies, and I prefer others to call me the zombie queen.¡±


    ¡°¡­I came from a parallel space. The era you live in now is somewhat similar to mine, but our technology is much more advanced than yours. We have also experienced the apocalypse, and scientists have tried their best to develop detoxifying serums to restore the world to normal, but unfortunately, the speed of scientific research is not as fast as the speed of zombie mutation¡­¡±


    ¡°We zombies gathered in one place and established our zombie kingdom. The world is divided into three, zombies, humans, and orcs. After all, we zombies evolved from humans and have the same language as humans¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe spoke eloquently.


    If Wang Mao and Qin Yan hadn¡¯t seen her communicating with the mutant zombie with their own eyes, they would definitely not have believed her at this time. However, even the mutant zombie was obedient to her. When they heard such a self-introduction, Wang Mao was still a little skeptical, but Qin Yan completely believed it.


    If she were not a person with excellent strength, why would she apply hand cream in an environment like an apocalypse?


    Wang Mao said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°I can¡­¡±


    He knew why Lin Xinghe left them alive, and he knew that something could be negotiated.


    However, before the words were finished, the girl who was smiling with frowning eyes stretched out a finger and said sweetly, ¡°It¡¯s not that you can, it¡¯s that you have to. You don¡¯t have the capital to negotiate with me. Your life is in my hands. Here, I, the zombie queen, have the final say. If I say jump, you say how high¡ªthat¡¯s the only way I will consider letting you live, otherwise I might just have you ripped into pieces!¡±


    ¡¾This NPC is just a daydreamer! How could he actually negotiate with SL?¡¿


    ¡¾The leader really deserves to be a marketing leader. The words come to her so naturally that even I almost believed it. ¡¿


    ¡¾Congratulations to the sect master for mentioning the title of Queen of Zombies after Fire Maiden, Sea King Barbaras, Galaxy Robot, and Real Estate Boss Lin! Congrats again to the Queen of Zombies for her mount, Xiao Zang! ¡¿


    ¡­


    When Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream audience was mocking Principal Wang from a distance, her popularity increased. As soon as the familiar Lin Xinghe style came out, everyone talked about it with relish, and the chat became more and more daring.


    While the atmosphere in the stream chat was harmonious, Lin Xinghe interrogated the other two about the current examination room.


    This was an apocalypse, and the reason for the emergence of zombies was the same as that of most apocalyptic novels. With the destruction of the environment by human beings, resulting in global warming, the Antarctic glaciers melted, and prehistoric viruses that had been frozen for tens of thousands of years erupted from them. All people infected with the virus became zombies whose nature would drive them to chase the living and bite them to infect them with the zombie virus.


    Thirty years had passed since the first zombie appeared.


    The chaos ended after the government took over in the third year. Today, the country had two large survival bases, 18 medium-sized bases, and countless small bases. The large bases were District A and District B. District A was originally the capital of the country, and District B was special. It was originally just a small county town with an advantageous geographical environment. Under the leadership of wise leaders, it gradually developed into a large-scale survival base that could compete with the government¡¯s.


    The motorcade of Wang Mao and Qin Yan did not belong to any base, so they chose to become a traveling motorcade. They had 5 ability-wielding members, and although three of them were killed by Xiao Zang, previously, they had been living quite well.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Are there any strong people?¡±


    Qin Yan said, ¡°There are a lot.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Are there any famous people? People who are known to everyone, to young and old, women and children?¡±


    Qin Yan thought for a while and said, ¡°A well-known boss¡­ Xu Mo, the son of the leader of District B, is one of them. Although he has not awakened any supernatural powers, his IQ is extremely high. He is only twenty-three years old. The group of scientists in District B also praise Su Zikang, the lord of a small survival base in the south. Although he was ordinary at birth, when he was in his twenties, he awakened dual-type abilities. He went out on his own and built his own base. Because of his rare dual-type ability, Districts A and B sometimes pay him to help with S-level missions¡­¡±


    As if thinking of something, Qin Yan continued, ¡°By the way, there is also a very famous person called Cheng Sheng. No one in the post-apocalyptic world does not know his name. He also awakened an attack-type ability. In order to obtain supplies, he used the zombies to kill five people in a base in the central area. Previously, the traffic between the north and the south was smooth, but because of him, a large number of zombies gathered in the central area, and mutated plants also spawned. We call this the dead area. If you want to cross the central area, there are only two ways, either to climb over the mountains on the west side, or go through the sea¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­The plants have mutated, and some marine creatures have also mutated, so it¡¯s just as dangerous to travel by sea. I heard from others that fish in the sea have mutated and grown wings and limbs, and they¡¯re are all highly venomous. A bite from them is fatal.¡±

 CH 109.2

    Lin Xinghe thought for a while.


    Out of the corner of her eyes, she looked at Xiao Zang.


    Qin Yan had rambled for such a long time, and Xiao Zang listened patiently without showing the slightest impatience as though he understood.


    Lin Xinghe said a few words to Xiao Zang.


    Xiao Zang grunted a few times from his throat.


    Qin Yan was a little more daring now and asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°Did you speak zombie language just now?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at her and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, I just told him that he should not kill you, you are walking sanitary equipment.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Give me another basin of water. I¡¯m sweating and not feeling well.¡±


    She looked at Wang Mao and said, ¡°Oh, you are an ice-type power, right? Get me some ice cubes. The fire in the supermarket is still burning, and even the temperature here is getting higher, so make some ice so I can cool down¡­¡±


    Wang Mao: ¡°¡­¡±


    Qin Yan: ¡°¡­¡±


    However, the two people who were tied up finally handed over a basin of water and half a bucket of ice helplessly.


    Lin Xinghe went to the bathroom next door with water and ice.


    This villa had some basic protections: the windows were tightly sealed, and the glass was also soundproofed. Once the bathroom door was closed, there was no sound from the outside.


    Lin Xinghe watched other people¡¯s livestreams at school.


    There were some streamers who attracted attention with low-level and evil erotic and erotic gimmicks.


    Lin Xinghe once watched a complete action movie in the livestream of some candidates. It seemed that the secret cameras had also taken a course in romance filmography, showing the candidates¡¯ passionate interpretation in many ways.


    Most exam rooms took several days, and there was always a need for candidates to go to the toilet.


    The stream footage is humane, so although it wouldn¡¯t skip the scene of students going to the toilet, it will censor out all the important parts. When some serious candidates consented not to censor their actions, the livestream would directly broadcast the process of their going to the toilet.


    Of course, it was impossible for Lin Xinghe to reveal herself like that, but she didn¡¯t plan on going to the toilet or take a shower.


    She sat directly on the toilet, looked around, and then stretched out her hand, snapped her fingers, and said, ¡°Cameras, please focus on me. I won¡¯t broadcast showering or using the restroom, I just plan to teach my dear classmates.¡±


    ¡°¡­You have heard what Qin Yan said just now. Do you know why I asked? It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t know. Teacher Lin will answer it for you now.¡±


    ¡°¡­It¡¯s still the previous ¡°novel world¡± theory. I met Wang Mao and Qin Yan. They are obviously not the protagonists. I explained the reason during the day. Viewers who arelate can ask the chat.¡±


    ¡°¡­The protagonists and supporting roles are usually famous in the novel worlds. The people Qin Yan mentioned just now, Xu Mo and Su Zikang, are strong characters and did not run away. The other person, Cheng Sheng, might be the villain, and of course he may also be strong. Who knows if the plot will clean him up later? But all in all, if you find these people and try to follow them, there is a great possibility to meet the protagonists. Xu Mo and Su Zikang both actually sound like they have the conditions to be the male leads.¡±


    ¡°¡­Oh, by the way, do you know why I have to go to the toilet? In addition to giving you lessons, I also want to boldly speculate on how Principal Wang will deal with me next. Today is my first day in the apocalypse, and there were already a bunch of zombies and little zombie brothers in the supermarket during the day. How could there be no zombie army at night! After all, after dark is a good time for zombie activities¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­But if I were making the exam questions, I would definitely not arrange a zombie siege. After all, there was already a group of zombies in the supermarket during the day. If I couldspend it safe and sound, then there is no point in arranging another zombie horde. Instead, I would summon something from the underworld to let me feel the dangers of the apocalypse, completely suppressing me from the heart and making me lose my fighting spirit. This would also make me uneasy for all of the next day.


    She smiled and asked, ¡°Principal Wang, do you think I¡¯m right?¡±


    She opened the blinds and looked out.


    For some reason, the zombies wandering outside in twos and threes began to slowly gather towards the villa where she was.


    Lin Xinghe put down the blinds and sighed, ¡°It seems that Principal Wang still doesn¡¯t understand me, and he has arranged for another zombie horde to deal with me¡­ But that¡¯s to be expected. Who would have thought that I could understand the language of zombies and a cannon fodder? Oh, speaking of which, Xiao Zang is also an NPC arranged by Principal Wang¡ª his IQ and attack power are both not low, thank you!¡±


    Her remarks were so sarcastic that most of the examinees who had been tortured in the examination room felt quite happy.


    Principal Wang in the principal¡¯s office naturally did not miss Lin Xinghe¡¯s mockery.


    But he didn¡¯t have any emotional change. Instead, he calmed down.


    He looked at Lin Xinghe blankly.


    ¡°Out of the nine days of the apocalypse, only one day has passed. Is that something to be proud of?¡±


    Of course Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t hear Principal Wang¡¯s reply, but she probably wouldn¡¯t take it to heart if she heard it.


    She tilted her head slightly, thinking of something, and then said to the air again, ¡°Keep focusing on me, please.¡± After a while, she continued, ¡°I¡¯ll go out after I¡¯ve finished the last bit of content for you. Where did I just end? Oh yes, it boils down to Su Zikang, Xu Mo, and Cheng Sheng as important roles, dear classmates! Remember! When you encounter such a situation, I suggest you stick with decent characters and don¡¯t look for the villains. That is, unless you have grand fighting powers, you can try my way of doing exams¡­¡±


    She said, ¡°We are all students from the villain¡¯s school. Naturally, we must be worthy of the title of villain. We strive to be the biggest villain, so that the villain has nowhere to go! No matter whether the other party is a hero or a villain, we are the biggest villains. Use your strength to shut everyone up! Let the protagonist also understand that in this apocalypse, you have the final say!¡±


    She said, ¡°Teacher Lin is going offline, and the zombie queen is going online. See you next time!¡±


    Outside the villa at this moment, a lot of zombies had gathered, and in the middle of the night, a frightening beast-like howl was heard. Lin Xinghe waved her hand in the air as if she hadn¡¯t heard it.


    ¡°Goodbye.¡±


    Then, Lin Xinghe opened the bathroom door.


    Xiao Zang really didn¡¯t attack Qin Yan and Wang Mao, who were still tied together. He was quite human in his clothes. He stood by the window and looked at the bustling zombies outside.


    The zombies were squeezing forward frantically.


    They pushed and rattled at the door of the villa.


    There were also some zombies climbing the walls, and seven or eight were already breaching the glass windows, grinning and roaring.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe came out, Qin Yan immediately said, ¡°My water ability is very useful, you can take a shower and wash your hair. I¡¯m always available 24 hours a day, so don¡¯t leave me alone!¡±


    At first, Wang Mao didn¡¯t say a word and seemed to disdain Qin Yan¡¯s behavior. Seeing the emergence of more and more zombies, he said reluctantly, ¡°There are at least hundreds of zombies outside, my ice-type ability can delay time for you¡­ ¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Delay? Why delay? No need. Have you forgotten one thing? I¡¯m not a human, I¡¯m a high-level mutant zombie.¡±


    She waved her hand and said, ¡°Calm down, don¡¯t panic! There are friendly troops outside.¡±

 CH 110.1

    Lin Xinghe walked to Xiao Zang¡¯s side.


    It just so happened that a zombie had already climbed up the window on the third floor, and was banging its head against the glass window, howling.


    Lin Xinghe understood.


    This zombie brother was saying, ¡°Awoooo, let me in, I want to eat people!¡±


    And the zombie lady he was stepping on was saying, ¡°Meat! Meat! Meat! Awooooo!¡±


    Xiao Zang was very silent. He looked at the army of zombies frantically crashing against the glass outside, and she couldn¡¯t tell what it was thinking in its tattered head.


    Lin Xinghe did not intend to communicate with this army of zombies.


    These zombies were just ordinary zombies.


    Ordinary zombies were different from mutated and intelligent zombies like Xiao Zang. They were primitive beasts and obeyed instinct.


    But that was okay.


    They wouldn¡¯t listen to her, but Xiao Zang listened to her.


    The ordinary zombies that had not evolved would naturally want to listen to the words of their evolved brethren.


    So they were basically still listening to her.


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her finger and gently touched the glass window.


    Zombies slammed into windows like crazy.


    Lin Xinghe was not afraid at all and even said with a smile to Xiao Zang beside her, ¡°We have two human beings here, which is equivalent to two pieces of fragrant meat, which will inevitably attract our kind. They are low-level zombies, which is different from you and me¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­But if we want to have a place in the apocalypse, we cannot lack their support. They will become high-level zombies eventually. To build our zombie kingdom, we need a group of low-level zombies to cultivate more high-level zombies to maintain our kingdom. In the current world, humans are still in the dominant position. They have countless survival bases and are taking over our living space. During the apocalypse, we zombies should have the final say¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­Relying on brute force alone is not enough, and we certainly can¡¯t do anything without brute force.¡±


    Lin Xinghe poked at the glass with her slender fingers.


    The zombies collided against it more vigorously.


    ¡°¡­Look at their ignorant and passionate faces, don¡¯t they lack a leader who can lead them to unity?¡±


    Xiao Zang finally let out a low roar.


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe hit the glass window with her palm.


    The zombies stopped throwing themselves at the glass.


    Immediately afterwards, the horde of zombies stopped all their movements and sounds.


    Wang Mao originally had doubts about Lin Xinghe. After all, Lin Xinghe looked like an ordinary girl, but after this, he believed it!


    Which ordinary girl could chat and laugh with a mutant zombie who currently seemed to have no upper limit? Which ordinary girl could stand in front of a group of zombies without a change in expression? Which ordinary girl slapped the glass to make all the zombies quiet down?


    Oh no!


    She was no ordinary girl!


    She said she was the queen of zombies!


    THE QUEEN!


    Lin ¡°Extraordinary Faker¡¤Zombie Queen¡± Xinghe dragged Xiao Zang¡¯s hand away from the floor-to-ceiling window, came to the sliding window that could be opened on the other side, and said with a smile, ¡°Go, Xiao Zang!¡±


    She opened the window.


    The sourly rotten smell of the zombies swept in.


    But there was silence outside as if there were no creatures.


    Xiao Zang jumped down.


    Lin Xinghe closed the window silkily.


    She didn¡¯t care about the situation downstairs, but walked up to Qin Yan and Wang Mao and said with a smile: ¡°Like I said, it¡¯s my army. Don¡¯t panic, our zombie kingdom and humans will be mutual allies in the future. When we have a common enemy, the orcs, we will become allies¡ªthe enemy of an enemy is a friend¡­¡±


    ¡¾This is the first time I hate myself for not being able to speak a foreign language like zombie language! Who can translate what the leader said to the zombies! ¡¿


    ¡¾Should be fooling Xiao Zang to terminate the zombie group downstairs? ¡¿


    ¡¾T_T When will I be able to be such a villain in the examination room in my life? Without her calmness, I would have been killed in an instant! No one would believe that I am the queen of zombies! ¡¿


    ¡¾The way SL does the questions is really impossible for ordinary people to do. ¡¿


    ¡¾The candidates who want to imitate SL, fat chance. They don¡¯t have such a bearing, mentality, and eloquence. When the SL is fooling others, she also bears the risk of being killed if she¡¯s unsuccessful. Therefore, I still advise students who want to imitate SL not to do so if they don¡¯t have the ability! Go with the usual problem solving route! ¡¿


    ¡¾Right! Go hug the protagonists¡¯ thighs! ¡¿


    ¡¾Hey, do you really believe Lin Xinghe¡¯s inference about the world of novels? ¡¿


    ¡¾My friend has already entered the examination room according to the method of SL. If he can verify the practice, he will know. Anyways, I am a believer. If you aren¡¯t, don¡¯t bother spouting your nonsense here. ¡¿

 CH 110.2

    Not long after, Xiao Zang came back.


    He howled at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the window and saw that the zombies downstairs were all standing neatly in rows.


    Seeing Lin Xinghe sticking out half of her head, some of the zombies began to riot, but Xiao Zang howled again, and they quickly became quiet again.


    Lin Xinghe was very satisfied and said to Xiao Zang, ¡°Great brother, you have great potential to be a leader.¡±


    Xiao Zang snorted from his nose.


    Lin Xinghe asked Wang Mao for a map.


    Lin Xinghe spread out the map on the ground.


    Wang Mao asked, ¡°What do you want to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Build my zombie kingdom.¡± She pointed to the central area on the map and said, ¡°Thank you, Cheng Sheng, a human comrade who has made the initial contributions to my kingdom. My zombie army cannot be in the sun during the day. It¡¯s night, so it¡¯s time to go.¡±


    She communicated with Xiao Zang.


    Xiao Zang had no opinion.


    Lin Xinghe immediately packed up, rolled up the map, and stuffed it into her backpack.


    Qin Yan said, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you!¡±


    Wang Mao: ¡°¡­I can also come with you.¡±


    Wang Mao took a deep breath and said, ¡°My Queen!¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him.


    Wang Mao: ¡°You said that we will have a common enemy in the future, and we are friends¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Oh? Are you qualified to be my friend?¡±


    She raised her chin slightly, gesturing to his current predicament.


    Wang Mao changed his words, ¡°I am your loyal subordinate.¡±


    Wang Mao was indeed the selfish type who only cared about himself, and this was why Principal Wang felt that he would not be easily brainwashed by Lin Xinghe. However, Principal Wang forgot one thing. In an environment like an apocalypse, in the face of absolute strength, his personality had no meaning at all.


    No brainwashing, then goodbye.


    If she could brainwash him, okay, she¡¯d just use him reluctantly.


    So, Lin Xinghe brought her walking restroom equipment into the car.


    Wang Mao and Qin Yan took turns driving, while Lin Xinghe sat in the back seat. Xiao Zang squatted on the roof, followed by a horde of zombies, heading for what was called the dead area in this apocalypse¡ªthe central area of


    the region.


    Lin Xinghe raised her head, facing the air, and said with a sweet smile, ¡°This host thanks Principal Wang for the zombie army! Giving my bestie a finger heart! Love you!¡±


    During the day, Lin Xinghe looked for a place to rest.


    As soon as the sun went down, Lin Xinghe set off again with Xiao Zang, Wang Mao, and Qin Yan.


    Second night.


    Lin Xinghe and the others encountered a small group of mutant zombies whose attack power was not low.


    When they were about to fight the zombie army, Lin Xinghe brought Xiao Zang forward. He dissuaded them, and they successfully surrendered to Lin Xinghe¡¯s zombie army!


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s brows and eyes curved, and her hands made a big heart.


    ¡°This student thanks Principal Wang for the seven mutant zombies! I love you! Mua!¡±


    Third night.


    Lin Xinghe and the others crossed the mountains and encountered mutated flora.


    The mutated flora wielded sturdy vines the size of boa constrictors, and they had chompers like monstrous piranhas under the moonlight.


    Zombies rushed towards the mutant flora!


    They opened the Plants vs. Zombies extreme mode!


    Lin Xinghe watched from the side, eating self-heating hot pot, and commenting on the battle to Qin Yan and Wang Mao. She occasionally told the mutant zombies to attack the weak points of mutant flora, causing the plants to become ashes while chatting and laughing.


    In this battle, the plants encountered the wrong zombies and died without a place to be buried, and they spontaneously ignited, becoming a long-lasting spark in the dark night.


    Lin Xinghe drank half a bottle of mineral water, hiccupped, and said to the air, ¡°This student thanks Principal Wang for the gorgeous fireworks! I welcome Principal Wang to come back tomorrow! I won¡¯t give bestie a heart today. Instead, I¡¯ll give you a wink.¡±


    ¡¾God, if I were Principal Wang, I would go insane with anger! ¡¿


    ¡¾Just insane? I would literally die! ¡¿


    ¡¾Shhhhh. This is super refreshing. SL hates Principal Wang! Please don¡¯t stop! I am willing to reward you with my meager points! ¡¿


    ¡¾I was wrong! I don¡¯t dare to diss Lin Xinghe anymore! She even dared to be so arrogant to the principal. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy for her to kill me? ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahaha SL is very cute when she is angry! Am I the only one who thinks SL is cute! ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m going to die laughing hahahahaha! I think this group of zombies is really cute! ¡¿


    ¡¾I just want to know if Principal Wang is okay now? Who will secretly go to the principal¡¯s office to see? ¡¿


    ¡­


    At this moment, the ¡°beloved¡± Principal Wang couldn¡¯t see the chat talking about him because when Lin Xinghe won, Principal Wang smashed his computer without paying attention.


    The huge screen shattered.


    White smoke billowed out.

 CH 111.1

    Principal Wang never felt such a sense of shame in his life.


    In the past few days, he had frequently felt unprecedented humiliation. Even when he left Aigre Star¡¯s garbage AI company, he never felt this way.


    He had shown unparalleled coding talent since he was a child, and received job offers from many well-known interstellar AI companies before he was a teenager. When he became an adult, he fell in love with the AI


    company Aigre Star. He originally wanted to show his ambition there. However, the boss was an idiot and refused to listen to the advice of the technicians. He even ridiculed Principal Wang for not having leadership skills. In front of everyone, he said with certainty¡ª


    ¡°Xiao Wang should just be a programmer. His mind is whimsical, and he always thinks about unconstructive and dangerous things. With so many suggestions, do you want to be the boss?¡±


    He resigned in anger and started a company from scratch.


    In just a few years, the company he founded was well known across the planet.


    To put it arrogantly, his money could buy an interstellar pirate group and kill the stupid former boss ninety-nine times.


    He hadn¡¯t felt so suffocated in years.


    A mere student actually angered him to the point where his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to explode.


    He was so angry that he wanted to suspend the exam and remove the arrogant Lin Xinghe, then stuff her into a body bag and beat her to relieve his anger. However, the consequences of suspending the exam would be too great. It was an absolute last resort on his part.


    After he took his anger out on the computer, his mood was a little calmer.


    After all, the computer was a gadget from the Middle Ages, and he only bought it to maintain the cyberpunk style he loved. Although the computer itself was smashed, he had the brain implants of the interstellar age.


    He didn¡¯t rush to turn it on, but rather opened a tube of high-level potion that replenished physical and mental strength. After drinking it, he bought another large box from the interplanar store.


    He piled the bottles on the table.


    He didn¡¯t believe in true evil.


    She was just a mere student, and he didn¡¯t believe that he couldn¡¯t kill her.


    ¡­Accepting mutant zombies as her younger brothers ruined his first four days¡¯ arrangement. Okay, very good, not a bit challenging, he still felt bored. There were five days left before the end of the world. If she wanted to be the villain, he would let her be the villain. In this novel world, it was not quite that easy to be a villain.


    ¡­If she wanted to occupy the central region and become its queen, so be it.


    ¡­This novel was biased towards the protagonist. The author was afraid that the villain¡¯s death would not be thorough enough, so the central area had explosives planted in it. The thrilling battle before the ending happened in the central area. The hero and heroine joined forces and detonated the explosives, and the sky-high fire burned for two whole months, killing all the zombies and ushering in a new era.


    ¡­The explosives were plantedby the heroine¡¯s close relatives, and only the heroine could detonate them. The heroine¡¯s parents died at the hands of zombies, and she hated zombies to an extreme, so it was impossible to for her to join forces with zombies.


    ¡­Lin Xinghe could communicate with zombies, but they were still moving objects with some semblance of life. No matter how powerful she was, could she brainwash the explosives?


    Principal Wang thought this, and his anger smoothed out a little more.


    He turned on his brain implant and debugged it for a while. It took about 20 minutes before he logged into the upper plane livestream platform and entered Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream. Although he was mentally prepared, seeing Lin Xinghe eating spicy food and living life to the fullest in the apocalypse and being carried by countless zombie brothers as if she were on vacation ruffled his feathers.


    There were many zombies in the central region, and there were also many mutant zombies.


    Lin Xinghe had already gained experience in the past few days, and she won the trust of the zombies in the central region again without the loss of a single soldier. In order to live up to the title of the zombie queen, she spent a lot of time finding a place to camp.


    She walked around the city with an army of zombies.


    Although it had been 30 years since the start of the apocalypse, many buildings were well preserved.


    Lin Xinghe did not exclude Qin Yan and Wang Mao, and they chatted leisurely.


    It seemed that she was talking to Qin Yan, Wang Mao, and the others, but the audience in the livestream knew that Lin Xinghe was chatting with them.


    ¡°On the way north, I found something interesting. We passed many cities, but not many were well preserved. Most of them have experienced the devastation of the apocalypse and time, and they were no longer like cities, but more like a regenerating natural environment. Only this city is exceptionally well preserved¡­¡±


    Qin Yan didn¡¯t know that Lin Xinghe was talking to the audience, so she cheered up and asked, ¡°Yes, why?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at her and said, ¡°Every minute detail here seems to have been thoughtfully planned out, and there are a lot of different buildings. There must be someone with a major role here, and it should be a location that will be used in the future. It¡¯s time to take notes! Classmates! If you can¡¯t find the protagonist, you can find a place like this, see? The more different and detailed it is, the more likely it is the place where a big scene takes place. According to my previous inference, such a big setup is usually for the protagonist. If you can¡¯t find the protagonist, just sit back and wait here¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said these words in front of Qin Yan and Wang Mao, and she didn¡¯t mean to hide them at all.


    Qin Yan once asked who she was talking to.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°This is a secret.¡±


    It was a secret, but she spent more and more time talking to the air.


    Qin Yan and Wang Mao were secretly guessing Lin Xinghe¡¯s intentions.

 CH 111.2

    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t mind whether they could guess or not. Even if they guessed right, it didn¡¯t matter. As soon as the exam ended, their memory would be reset, and they wouldn¡¯t remember anything.


    Lin Xinghe paused and glanced at Xiao Zang.


    He had spent more time quietly watching her these days. She could always find him peeking at her. When he caught her gaze, he would quickly turn his head and look up at the sky with his neck raised.


    Lin Xinghe felt that the Xiao Zang was becoming more and more human.


    High-level zombies was nonsense she made up, but from the way Xiao Zang acted, the world might really have high-level zombies.


    If Xiao Zang really became a high-level zombie, the jig would be up in seconds.


    Lin Xinghe was accustomed to living life on the edge, and she dared to take such a risk. When the time came, when Xiao Zang saw through her lies, she would find another way, even if there was no way out.


    If there were no way, she would just have to make our own way.


    There was a castle-themed hotel in the center of the city. After time passed and the apocalypse ravaged the remains, it was no longer as splendid as it used to be, but it was relatively well preserved.


    Lin Xinghe observed the surroundings for a while and decided to stay in the castle hotel.


    How could the zombie queen not live in a castle?


    There were many buildings around the hotel, just enough to allow the zombie army to hide in houses during the day. As for the hotel, Lin Xinghe planned to set up two areas, one for mutant zombies and one for humans and classmates who wanted to join her.


    Basic necessities weren¡¯t too difficult to find either.


    The city was abandoned for too long because it was located in the central area, which was monopolized by zombies. Zombies didn¡¯t need to eat and were not interested in human food and water. When she toured the city, she found a lot of useful materials, and there was a freshwater lake in the city. If it were not monopolized by a zombie horde, it would actually be very suitable as a living base for human beings.


    However, Lin Xinghe looked at such a high configuration and guessed that it would be reserved for the protagonist in the future.


    Obviously, the details would be reserved for the protagonist, since just like in movies, the detailed props were only for big scenes with the main character. Would any director spend 100 million for a passerby or cannon fodder to blow up a plane? Naturally, that was impossible.


    Lin Xinghe smiled happily.


    Out of the nine days she had to survive in the apocalypse, it was the fourth night now.


    Although she was a little tired from traveling, it was not a difficult prompt, and it could even be called easy.


    ¡­She just didn¡¯t know what kind of surprise Principal Wang would give her tonight.


    Lin Xinghe chose the presidential suite on the top floor as her room.


    Xiao Zang was very clingy, and he wanted to stay with her the night before.


    When she was resting, she occasionally opened her eyes, and she could see Xiao Zang looking at her. She smiled at him, and he immediately turned his head with the same expression as every time he peeked at her.


    Now that Lin Xinghe finally had her own room, Xiao Zang still wanted to share the same room with her.


    Lin Xinghe always wondered if Xiao Zang had some fledgling complex because she was the first creature to communicate with him, and because he believed that she was a high-level zombie, he was particularly attached to her.


    She let Xiao Zang stay in the closet.


    There were five bedrooms in the presidential suite.


    Lin Xinghe chose the master bedroom. She originally planned to let Xiao Zang sleep in the second bedroom, but Xiao Zang didn¡¯t want to, so Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t care. Qin Yan and Wang Mao were also unwilling to sleep outside and had to live in the suite, probably because they didn¡¯t trust the other zombies.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t force them. It would be more convenient to have two ability usersin the room. What¡¯s more, she didn¡¯t know what Principal Wang would do tonight.


    However, Lin Xinghe was not too worried.


    Now that she was in the central area, the biggest enemies were nothing more than zombie groups and mutant zombies.


    She had a small group of mutant zombies and a large group of ordinary zombies as friendly troops.


    She fell asleep peacefully.


    Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, she heard Qin Yan screaming.


    As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Zang standing by the window.


    She got out of bed and went to the window.


    Seeing this, she couldn¡¯t help being secretly startled.


    The mighty army of zombies was also attracted by something, and at this moment they were all rushing out of the city. At this distance, she could only vaguely see some huge black shadows outside the city, waving long and thick branches under the moonlight.


    Lin Xinghe came from that place today.


    She remembered very clearly that when she entered the city, there were no such huge plants at all.


    The mutant plants were all born in the mountains. Did they still have legs? Were they Principal Wang¡¯s new weapons?


    Principal Wang was also a little confused at this time.


    His arrangements had been disrupted as early as when Lin Xinghe adopted the mutant zombies.


    The exam room was already open.


    He couldn¡¯t intervene.


    Now that there were a bunch of walking mutant plants that Principal Wang himself was not aware of, he was quite happy to see such a change.


    Lin Xinghe probably changed the plot and caused the accident.

 CH 112.2

    It was already late at night.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream chat was still lively. Although the messages were not as dense as they were during the day, there were quite a few messages.


    Principal Wang was mocked by the livestream and closed it in a fit of anger, so at this moment, he did not know that the chat suddenly became denser.


    Many viewers sent one word in unison¡ª¡ª


    Fuck!


    At this time, in the examination room, there was a hurried knock on the door.


    Then came Qin Yan¡¯s voice, ¡°It¡¯s me, Qin Yan. Can I come in?¡±


    Lin Xinghe regained her senses and said, ¡°Come in.¡±


    Qin Yan pushed open the door and entered. When she saw Xiao Zang, she held her breath, passed him, and walked to the other side of Lin Xinghe. She said, ¡°Have you seen, My Queen? There are so many mutant plants coming from outside the city of a different type than the ones we encountered last night. They seem to have evolved again, or they may be new mutant plants.¡±


    Qin Yan looked at Lin Xinghe with confidence.


    Although they had only known each other, Lin Xinghe¡¯s various performances made Qin Yan admire her, and now the other had undoubtedly become her backbone.


    Her and Wang Mao¡¯s relationship was originally just a last resort in the apocalypse.


    She looked gorgeous, and although she had awakened powers, she was not only an attack type, but also preferred to act as support and healer. The large survival bases were full of talented people, and the competition between small and medium-sized survival bases was fierce, so there was always the danger of being overtaken. It was precisely because of this situation that she chose to follow Wang Mao.


    Wang Mao¡¯s ice-type ability was powerful, and the survival bases in the A and B Districts had thrown olive branches at him. It turned out that, apart from the battle with the mutant zombies, Wang Mao¡¯s motorcade was relaxing in the end times like a duck in water. She could even wear high-profile skirts and high-heeled shoes because she knew that Wang Mao could protect her.


    It was just that Wang Mao was lustful, and he had cheated on her many times.


    Unless it could threaten her status, she would turn a blind eye as if she didn¡¯t know. At first, she still had some sincere affection for Wang Mao, but facing Wang Mao¡¯s betrayals, it had disappeared. At this point, she had just been making do.


    Sometimes Qin Yan didn¡¯t understand why she stayed by Wang Mao¡¯s side all the time.


    But such doubts were fleeting.


    Qin Yan always felt that she was missing something, but she still didn¡¯t understand it until she met Lin Xinghe. She felt that her previous doubts had been answered a little bit.


    She didn¡¯t have to follow Wang Mao, she didn¡¯t have to endure his infidelity, and she didn¡¯t have to endure his habit of groping her in front of everyone. She had a supportability and could follow someone else.


    Although Lin Xinghe was a high-level zombie, in her opinion, she felt more human than humans. Even if Lin Xinghe kept saying that the pair were walking restroom equipment, they had never been disrespected.


    In the apocalypse, being able to treat people as people was a rare quality.


    In the past few days, Qin Yan completely defected from Wang Mao¡¯s side, and she would always be at the forefront of Lin Xinghe¡¯s service. Under the premise that there was no danger to her life, she frequently used her water-type abilities. Now, she felt that she was full of energy and relaxed, so she could summon a lot of water.


    Therefore, when she noticed that there were advanced mutant plants, she was the first to raise the alarm for fear that Lin Xinghe would not know and for fear that Lin Xinghe would be a step behind and would be at a disadvantage when fighting against the mutant plants.


    As for where Wang Mao was, Qin Yan didn¡¯t care at all.


    After Qin Yan finished reporting, she quietly looked at Lin Xinghe¡¯s expression.


    The other looked into the distance calmly with a carefree expression on her face. Although Qin Yan herself was not confident, the other¡¯s unhurried appearance gave Qin Yan reassurance.


    She didn¡¯t say a word and stood quietly beside Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go have a look.¡±


    Qin Yan said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll drive.¡±


    Qin Yan drove the new off-road vehicle parked in the hotel, the mutant zombies still squatting on its roof. The closer she got to the destination, the more uneasy Qin Yan became. The mutant plants were just too big. Rows of zombies were being scooped up by the mutant plants, and some almost fell on the roof of their car. Fortunately, Xiao Zang was quick-witted and kicked the zombies away.


    Qin Yan clearly felt that Xiao Zang was a little different from usual¡ªhe was emitting the unease and impatience he had when he faced a powerful enemy. Qin Yan glanced at Lin Xinghe again, and when the other noticed her gaze, she slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled at her.


    Qin Yan herself was a beautiful woman. She had seen too many beautiful girls in the apocalypse, especially sweet girls like Lin Xinghe. However, she had also seen the scene of Lin Xinghe controlling the zombies. In the past few days of acquaintance, Lin Xinghe¡¯s slight smile made Qin Yan¡¯s heart skip a beat.


    Qin Yan felt more and more that her decision was wise and correct.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe suddenly asked her, ¡°Why didn¡¯t Wang Mao come?¡±


    Wang Mao was going to come, but Qin Yan deceived him and told him that Lin Xinghe needed him to guard the castle.


    Wang Mao believed her.

 CH 113.1

    Xie Wuan¡¯s stream of this exam room had a high view count. Although Lin Xinghe stole the limelight before, her popularity was a bit lower later. Xie Wuan wasn¡¯t the constant first-place student for nothing.


    After Xie Wuan entered the examination room, he was left alone on a deserted island full of mutant plants.


    Cultivation and magic were banned in this exam room, and Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space was even more inaccessible. However, Xie Wuan¡¯s name as a boss was not for nothing, and he rapidly showed what a genius he was.


    Although this exam room banned all magic, the world¡¯s setting allowed people to awaken abilities, and many NPCs had different abilities.


    After Xie Wuan, who had been through many battles, found out that his cultivation had been locked, the first thing he did was sit down cross-legged in a meditation pose.


    Although cultivation magic was different, the essence was the same.


    For example, Western magicians could wield fire magic, and Eastern cultivators could use talismans or their own spiritual power to summon fire. These things could be integrated within themselves.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s magic was banned, so he began to teach himself supernatural abilities on the spot, relying on his past experience and memory.


    He was the pinnacle of cultivation, so learning the powers of other worlds was a piece of cake. In particular, Principal Wang gave him a whole island of mutant plants.


    Every time he defeated a mutant plant, he became stronger, and his perception of the power of this world grew deeper.


    In just two days, Xie Wuan was already the master of the deserted island. With his deep understanding of the land and plants, he mastered the ability of the soil element, and he also learned to manipulate variant plants for his own use.


    After two days, Xie Wuan graduated from the deserted island.


    Once he left the deserted island, Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream became popular again.


    He controlled the mutant plants to defeat the mutant sea creatures, riding a mutant shark to the land with six mutant plants he carefully selected. Their flying vines and branches on the sea lit the way with lightning and sparks all the way to land.


    Once on land, Xie Wuan found the nearest survival base.


    Bearing the six huge mutant plants, he knocked on the door of the survival base and learned the specific situation of the circumstances and geography of the exam room world.


    The survival base cautiously threw out an olive branch.


    Xie Wuan didn¡¯t respond. He thought a little, then rode a mutant plant all the way south.


    The audience didn¡¯t quite understand why Boss Xie wanted to go south.


    After all, his old style was quite simple: fight. If it had been before, he definitely would have conquered both the A and B Districts and gone from there.


    However, the boss chose to go south hurriedly.


    Some viewers said-


    ¡¾¡­for the sake of the child¡¯s mother? Grandmother and Grandfather, right? Everyone knows that Principal Wang is going to target Lin Xinghe. Boss Xie may have predicted Principal Wang¡¯s actions. ¡¿


    A group of Xie Wuan¡¯s fans did not believe it, and vowed to say¨C


    ¡¾How is this possible! ¡¿


    ¡¾What child, mother, granddaughter? Xiao Xue Ji and Xuanxuan called him uncle and grandfather by themselves. Did our Xianjun respond? Lin Xinghe confessed before, but our Xianjun refused! Do not forget! Although our Xianjun teamed up with Lin Xinghe, he did so to make her a figurine! ¡¿


    ¡¾The boss doesn¡¯t know where Lin Xinghe is, so why can¡¯t he go south? Does he have to go north? The death zone in the central region is also very challenging! Can¡¯t we allow our boss to go to the middle to beat the challenge?¡¿


    ¡¾Does Xianjun feel any joy when he sees Lin Xinghe¡¯s expression? Don¡¯t talk about the love you made up blindly! ¡¿


    ¡¾Exactly! If he was really happy, why doesn¡¯t he approach Lin Xinghe now? ¡¿


    ¡¾Boss Xie¡¯s expressionless face and staying in place means he is clearly thinking about whether to make Lin Xinghe into a figurine now! ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯ve found a trace of displeasure in Xianjun¡¯s eyes! ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe, who was in the examination room, could not see Xie Wuan¡¯s expression. She didn¡¯t know where Xie Wuan was at this time. She only knew that she rarely heard Xie Wuan speak in such a surprised tone. Had Principal Wang brought in such a powerful enemy that Xie Wuan would be shocked?


    She looked around and didn¡¯t see anyone who could be called a rival.


    Soon, Lin Xinghe figured out why.


    ¡­ It was very likely that Xie Wuan was surprised by the little brother who was carrying her on his shoulders at this moment. After all, Xiao Zang really looked like a person under her dress, especially because his behavior was becoming more and more humanlike now.

 CH 113.2

    Xiao Zang also looked surprised, as if he didn¡¯t quite understand why the mutant plants stopped attacking.


    Lin Xinghe did not choose to communicate with Xiao Zang in zombie language.


    She had always been a cautious person. Who knew if there were students who understood zombie language watching her stream?


    She stretched out her hand and gently patted Xiao Zang¡¯s head.


    Just when her hand left Xiao Zang¡¯s head, she heard Xie Wuan chant a Buddhist mantra.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    Soon, Xie Wuan said again in his heart¡ª


    ¡°Meditation mantras don¡¯t work.¡±


    ¡°My heart feels pressured.¡±


    ¡°I have seen so many uncomfortable scenes in my life, but I have never felt so uncomfortable today¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe listened confusedly as Xie Wuan continued to recite the so-called meditation mantra. After reciting it several times, she heard a sneer¡ª¡ª


    ¡°¡­That person is quite tall, but he¡¯s not a strong enemy now.¡±


    ¡°¡­Let¡¯s kill it.¡±


    Before he finished speaking, the stationary mutant plant suddenly moved again. The vines cleverly avoided Lin Xinghe and approached Xiao Zang¡¯s face. Xiao Zang was not weak, but against the mutant plants under the control of Xie Wuan, he fell into a disadvantage after a few moves.


    Before Lin Xinghe could figure out Xie Wuan¡¯s thoughts, she saw the vines hooking around Xiao Zang¡¯s head.


    Under the moonlight, sharp poisonous thorns could be clearly seen from the vines.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she shouted, ¡°Xie Wuan, is it you? Is it you, Xianjun?¡±


    The vine instantly retracted its stingers and reluctantly released Xiao Zang.


    At the same time, Xie Wuan, who had previously been unseen, finally appeared in midair on the vines and came to Lin Xinghe.


    He looked at Lin Xinghe and said emotionlessly, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me! I finally found my teammates! I¡¯ve been alone in the apocalypse for the past few days, and I¡¯ve been bored. The first person I¡¯ve seen is Xianjun, so I won¡¯t be bored over the next few days. When the vines attacked Xiao Zang just now, it looked a bit like your style. I was just guessing, but after seeing that the vines didn¡¯t attack me, I was 100% sure that it was you!¡±


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°Oh? How do you say so?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°We are a team! Xianjun will naturally not attack teammates!¡± After a while, Lin Xinghe hurriedly introduced to Xie Wuan, ¡°This is a new friend I met here, Xiao Zang. He is a mutated zombie and can¡¯t understand human language. I usually communicate with him in zombie language. He has helped me a lot. Thanks to him, the zombies below are all friendly troops now.¡±


    Having said that, Lin Xinghe introduced Xie Wuan to Xiao Zang.


    She told Xiao Zang that Xie Wuan was also a high-level zombie and could control mutant plants.


    The only eye that Xiao Zang showed darkened.


    He stared at Xie Wuan silently.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s heartbeat again. From his tone of voice, his previous displeasure disappeared completely, and he was even a bit joyful.


    ¡°¡­From the attack style, she could tell it was my illustrious self. It seems that she really pays attention to my illustrious self!¡±


    ¡°¡­From a distance, I thought it was a human, but up close, it turned out to be a zombie.¡±


    ¡°¡­Well, for Lin Xinghe¡¯s sake, let¡¯s not kill him.¡±


    ¡°¡­He¡¯s just Lin Xinghe¡¯s mount. Why bother.¡±


    Hearing this, Lin Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    If Xiao Zang and Xie Wuan fought, she would really not be able to deescalate.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Xianjun, have you met Jiuge and Fu Zhou?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    Lin Xinghe wanted to ask something else, but there was a cool night wind blowing around. She said, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient to chat here. Xianjun, do you want to go back with me? I found a suitable place to camp out.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe pointed into the distance.


    The Castle Hotel, which she chose as her base, was a conspicuous landmark, and it was visible from outside the city.


    ¡°Over there,¡± she said.


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    Lin Xinghe communicated with Xiao Zang in zombie language.


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°What did you tell him?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I drove here, and there is an NPC below who has water-type abilities. I asked Xiao Zang to take me down, and I will tell her what¡¯s going on.¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    Lin Xinghe quickly greeted Qin Yan.


    Qin Yan was shocked again.


    ¡­Was he a human?


    ¡­Oh no, they were indeed not humans, they were high-level zombies.


    After Lin Xinghe explained what was going on, she asked Xiao Zang to take her back up and invited, ¡°Xianjun, come with me in my car.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Xie Wuan silently glanced at Xiao Zang and actually sat in the back seat with Lin Xinghe.

 CH 114

    Xiao Zang was still squatting on the roof of the car.


    Qin Yan, the driver, gulped, still a little incredulous.


    To tell the truth, she would never have believed that one day, she would be driving a car trailed by a group of mutant zombies and¡­ huge mutant plants.


    They were not in a relationship of predator and prey, but rather a harmonious one.


    Qin Yan felt that she was dreaming.


    In just a few days, she seemed to have entered a¡­ peaceful apocalypse.


    She glanced at Lin Xinghe quietly through the rearview mirror, and then at the man named Xie Wuan.


    ¡­ These two high-level zombies were a bit cracked. One controlled the zombie hordes, and the other manipulated the mutant flora. Together, they could rule the apocalypse.


    Some viewers in Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream had been there the whole time. When they saw the new mutant plants, they thought it was another opportunity to thank Principal Wang for a splendid bonus. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an alliance with another student!


    Even Principal Wang himself did not expect such a development.


    He had done everything possible to separate the four of them, especially separating Xie Wuan.


    He looked at the whole map and thought that it was the most suitable choice to keep Xie Wuan on a deserted island full of mutated plants. First, Xie Wuan, who couldn¡¯t use his cultivation base, could not protect himself on the deserted island; secondly, even if he escaped from the deserted island, the place was miles from anywhere else. There were mutant creatures in the sea, and the distance between the deserted island and land would take at least five or six days, provided Xie Wuan had a boat.


    Principal Wang thought that he had planned it all thoroughly, completely killing off the chance for Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe to meet, thereby keeping them from joining forces.


    However¡­¡­


    Probably because Lin Xinghe had beaten him too much, Principal Wang felt that someone who could be a teammate with Lin Xinghe would be just as virtuous.


    Even if the examination room he carefully selected was almost destroyed at this moment, even if the NPCs he prepared for Lin Xinghe turned against the tide, even if Lin Xinghe thanked him over and over again in front of the students for the reward, even if Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe teamed up, Principal Wang could not be as angry as the chat had said.


    Principal Wang had grasped something.


    To deal with villains like Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan, one had to be at peace.


    The angrier he became, the harder he fell for Lin Xinghe¡¯s tricks.


    He had back up.


    ¡­ Xie Wuan came here, so all he had to do was to ensure that the explosives underneath blew them up together. This would also save him from wasting brain cells in the next exam room.


    Principal Wang thought this.


    He himself didn¡¯t realize that he was the real villain, and he was so angry that he treated Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan as the villains.


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan had returned to the presidential suite of the hotel.


    The two stayed in the living room.


    Xiao Zang stood by the window, his eyes cast downwards.


    Although he had always been a silent zombie, since Xie Wuan appeared, he had become even more silent.


    Lin Xinghe told Xie Wuan what had happened in the past few days.


    She smiled and said: ¡°¡­Xiao Zang has helped me a lot. He is very smart and has evolved very quickly. Although it has only been four days, I sometimes feel that he can understand people¡¯s words. Following such a trend, sooner or later, he will be able to restore his rational mind.¡±


    Lin Xinghe guessed that Xie Wuan had been living a wonderful life these days. He was able to control mutant plants, so he must have lived comfortably.


    Xie Wuan hummed softly.


    Lin Xinghe still asked politely, ¡°How is Xianjun doing these days? Where did you start?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°A deserted island not far from the land. It was only a few days¡¯ journey. This illustrious one has a cultivating foundation, and in less than half a day¡¯s work, this illustrious one learned an earth-type ability and killed off most of the mutant plants on the deserted island. This illustrious one took the strongest with me, and now they work for me.¡±


    He said it lightly.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Xianjun really is an immortal. He mastered the earth element ability in just half a day. He¡¯s really amazing!¡± She gave him a thumbs up. ¡°Amazing!¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Generally, this illustrious one is very talented. Immortal arts that others learn in a year I can master at a glance.¡±


    At the same time, he said with disdain in his heart, ¡°If this illustrious one were a zombie, there would be no human beings in the apocalypse. How low Lin Xinghe¡¯s standards are! She actually praises that carcass as intelligent.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡­


    She said, ¡°Xianjun, it¡¯s late already. Why don¡¯t we rest early and try to find a way to meet with Jiuge and Fu Zhou tomorrow?¡±


    She pointed to the remaining three vacant rooms and said, ¡°Xianjun, you can choose one to rest in. I will live in this one. If you don¡¯t like it, there are many more rooms here, you can choose at will.¡±


    Xie Wuan casually pointed and said, ¡°This one.¡±


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°Xianjun, if you want water, you can find Qin Yan, the girl who just drove us back. She has a water ability.¡±


    Xie Wuan hummed.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to rest.¡±


    She lifted her feet and walked to the room.


    Xiao Zang naturally followed behind Lin Xinghe.


    After Lin Xinghe entered the bedroom, Xiao Zang also followed.


    Lin Xinghe closed the door, yawned, got in bed, and closed her eyes.


    She was quite tired, and she almost fell asleep when her head touched the pillow.


    However, a few minutes later, the overwhelming sound of infinite dings of phone notifications filled her head¡ª


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡­


    Countless ¡°why¡± sounded over and over again, with the tone ranging from initial doubt, then displeasure, and finally anger. Then finally a different voice sounded¡ª¡ª


    ¡°It¡¯s been ten minutes, why hasn¡¯t that lump of rotten meat come out?¡±


    ¡°That lump of rotten meat and Lin Xinghe have been sleeping in the same room for the past few days?¡±


    ¡°Why is Lin Xinghe so careless? It is still rotting flesh without humanity, why is she so defenseless against it?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was really very sleepy.


    There was only one feeling in her heart at this moment¡ª


    Yup, it¡¯s still that chatterbox Xianjun.


    Although Lin Xinghe woke up, she didn¡¯t have the slightest urge to get up.


    She hadn¡¯t been with her companions for a few days. When she saw Xie Wuan tonight, Lin Xinghe thought for the first time that it would be good to have her companions in the examination room, especially the powerful bosses. After Xie Wuan was on her side for a long time, she felt that Xie Wuan was a good man.


    In the last exam room, she borrowed gold from him, and he gave her a lot without blinking.


    When she encountered the attacks of the freshmen bosses, he instantly blocked her from harm.


    Although he looked heartless, he would listen to other people¡¯s opinions. When they didn¡¯t agree on what to do, he was still willing to discuss their plans. It was just that his brain worked in a kind of strange way, and she often couldn¡¯t keep up with his thoughts because his thinking patterns weren¡¯t clear enough.


    Lin Xinghe tried to understand Xie Wuan¡¯s inner workings. She didn¡¯t say a word, go out, or try to explain to him. She quietly closed her eyes and listened to Xie Wuan¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C

 CH 115

    ¡°This esteemed one should really give Lin Xinghe a reminder. She shouldn¡¯t trust that carrion so much. In a place like this, you can only trust yourself¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, this esteemed one can be trusted.¡±


    ¡°After all, there are many times when this esteemed one could have killed her but didn¡¯t take action. If this esteemed one really wanted to, she would have become a figurine in my illustrious self¡¯s portable space a long time ago.¡±


    ¡°¡­Lin Xinghe really makes people worry about her.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s better to make her a figurine and put her in my portable space so I won¡¯t have to worry about her.¡±


    ¡°¡­I¡¯ll take this opportunity to teach her a lesson.¡±


    ¡°She trusts my illustrious self now, so this illustrious one will take advantage of it¡­¡±


    When Lin Xinghe listened to this, she felt something was off.


    ¡­ Xie Wuan actually wanted to kill her.


    ¡­ She eavesdropped so much that she lost her life.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s voice became silent, as if he were thinking about how to kill her.


    Lin Xinghe opened her eyes immediately.


    She was thinking about what she would do if Xie Wuan really did something.


    ¡­Although she felt that Xie Wuan was actually a good person, his thought process was always twisted, and his love for his figurines was immense.


    She didn¡¯t think that his camaraderie with a teammate he had cooperated with in two exams could compare to his love for his figurines.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the wardrobe.


    Xiao Zang was in the closet.


    ¡­ She didn¡¯t quite understand why mutant zombies liked to hide in the closet. But Xiao Zang liked it, so she let him go.


    Lin Xinghe did not panic.


    Cultivation was restricted in this exam room at the moment, so Xie Wuan could only use earth-type abilities and control the mutant plants. She had a few things on her side. She had Xiao Zang, a small group of mutant zombies, and a large group of ordinary zombies. If she really fought him, she might not be at a disadvantage.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s mind was whirring.


    At this time, Xie Wuan¡¯s heart suddenly sounded¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Forget about making her a figurine. How can a figurine compare to her interesting live self?¡±


    ¡°Lin Xinghe isn¡¯t suited to becoming a figurine.¡±


    ¡°¡­She is suited to eat hot pot in this illustrious one¡¯s portable space.¡±


    ¡°If Old Wang hadn¡¯t banned my portable space, Lin Xinghe and this illustrious one would be eating hot pot at this moment¡­¡±


    ¡°Last time, I saw her eating snowy marbled beef. She must be fond of it.¡±


    ¡°Oh, she also likes to drink sour plum juice.¡±


    ¡°She sesame paste with chopped peanuts.¡±


    ¡°She also ate a few bites of fried tofu, bean curds, tripe, and shrimp.¡±


    Lin Xinghe never expected it to go this way.


    Xie Wuan changed from thinking of killing her to what she liked to eat inhot pot. His memory was also really good. She had eaten hot pot with him a few times, and he actually remembered every hot pot ingredient she liked.


    ¡­After listening to him list off these foods, Lin Xinghe also craved hot pot.


    Her stomach rumbled a few times.


    She covered her stomach and slowly sat up from the bed. In order not to let the livestream audience catch on, Lin Xinghe went to the bathroom as if nothing had happened.


    There was a matching bathroom in the master bedroom, only a dozen steps away from her bed.


    She squatted on the toilet, and after rearranging her emotions, she left the bathroom and went back to the bed.


    For nearly half an hour, she didn¡¯t hear Xie Wuan¡¯s voice.


    She glanced at the time, thinking that Xie Wuan was also sleepy and planned to rest.


    She breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, at this very moment, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice again.


    ¡°Lin Xinghe has always been cautious. She is not a careless person. She must have her intentions in keeping that corpse by her side. Qin Yan said that the two of them were quite intimate¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe: When she went to the toilet, did Xie Wuan go to talk to Qin Yan?


    ¡°¡­the word ¡°matching¡± was used.¡±


    ¡°¡­That cadaver is not worthy of Lin Xinghe.¡±


    ¡°¡­Is this illustrious one injuring her too deeply? Without a response to her confession from my illustrious self, has she been reduced to the point of being with a walking dead. Even if she chose Rudolph¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh, and Rudolph doesn¡¯t deserve her either.¡±


    ¡°Fu Zhou is even more unworthy.¡±


    ¡°Looking at the whole villain school, there is really no one worthy of her.¡±


    ¡°¡­Not really, this illustrious one is still worthy of her.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ?


    ¡°Xiao Xue Ji ate my illustrious self¡¯s Golden Crow Pill. This illustrious one can handle it if Xiao Xue Ji calls my illustrious self dad.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ? ?


    ¡°¡­This illustrious one has never had a cultivation partner. If Lin Xinghe wants to forcibly be this illustrious one¡¯s cultivation partner, it is not impossible. It is better than finding a zombie to be a replacement for my illustrious self.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ? ? ?


    Lin Xinghe felt that she couldn¡¯t listen to this anymore, and she couldn¡¯t let Xie Wuan continue to misunderstand.


    Many things were still unclear. She still had a lot of confusion about the operation of the villain school, not to mention that she was in a predicament and was not suitable for any emotional involvement.


    Lin Xinghe got up and got out of bed.


    When she walked to the door, the closet door was pushed open, and Xiao Zang stuck out his head and looked straight at her.


    Lin Xinghe said to him, ¡°I¡¯ll stay in the suite and won¡¯t go out. You don¡¯t have to follow me.¡±


    Xiao Zang snorted and slammed the closet door with a bang.


    After Lin Xinghe left the bedroom, she found that Xie Wuan hadn¡¯t entered a room to rest at all.


    He was still in the living room.


    As soon as she came out, he looked over.


    Lin Xinghe closed the bedroom door and sat down on the sofa beside him.


    She asked, ¡°Is Xianjun still not sleeping?¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    Lin Xinghe said warmly, ¡°What a coincidence. I can¡¯t sleep either, so we can chat for a while¡­¡±


    She added, ¡°Do you remember in the last exam room, when we went to the underworld? I walked on the Mengpo Bridge, but you stopped me, saying that after walking the Mengpo Bridge, I would remember my past lives. When I walked on the Mengpo Bridge, I thought of my past lives, but they weren¡¯t really past lives, they were the worlds I used to live in¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­I remembered when I died. I was struck to death by lightning. The moment I stepped onto the Mengpo Bridge, I suddenly remembered the moment of my death. At that time, I lost my temper and let my emotions spiral out of control. At that time, Xianjun also asked me a question. I was anxious to change my emotions, and I didn¡¯t want to recall the past, so I said something frivolous¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ Later, I thought about it¡ªthat sentence is too easy to misunderstand. I solemnly apologize to you for my frivolity. That sentence had no ulterior meaning, nor any implicit meaning. Although I know Xianjun would definitely not misunderstand me, since we are teammates and partners after all, so I think I still have to make it clear with you¡­¡±


    When Lin Xinghe said this, she looked at Xie Wuan.


    She said with a smile, ¡°There must be a lot of people watching the livestreams who think I like you. I heard my deskmate say that people were shipping us before. Students in the audience, open and take a good look. Where are Xie Wuan and I in love? We are teammates, so don¡¯t make up random couple pairings! Xianjun, don¡¯t you think so?¡±

 CH 116.1

    Lin Xinghe was a little confused about Xie Wuan¡¯s attitude.


    After she explained that long paragraph, Xie Wuan¡¯s heart was unusually quiet, and he didn¡¯t say a word. His own expression was the same indifferent one as usual.


    After a long while, she heard Xie Wuan lightly hum in agreement.


    Immediately afterward, he got up and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late, and I¡¯m tired. We can discuss the exam prompt tomorrow.¡±


    As he said that, he didn¡¯t even glance at Lin Xinghe and walked straight to the room.


    ¡¾Who said that SL liked Xie Wuan before? Stand up and take the slap in the face! SL herself refuted the rumor! ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Said weakly, when it comes to CP, it¡¯s not us, it¡¯s Xiao Xue J and Xuanxuan who moved their mouths first! ¡¿


    ¡¾My heart is broken! I have always been very optimistic about Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe. I hit a lot of invisible candies every time. ¡¿


    ¡¾I always thought that Xie Wuan liked Lin Xinghe! Otherwise, how could he explain that he never formed a team with others, but instead formed a team with Lin Xinghe? And he was being so nice to Xiao Xue Ji? In the last exam room, he even held hands with Lin Xinghe and asked Lin Xinghe to eat hot pot in his portable space! Who else has Xie Wuan done this with? Not to mention that Xie Wuan treats Lin Xinghe as a future figurine? Who would have such tenderness towards a figurine? Is it just my brain supplements? ¡¿


    ¡¾The previous message sender, keep your faith! Who knows what Boss Xie is thinking? Would he know if he liked someone? Certainly not! We all knew it in minutes, but he himself doesn¡¯t know it! Now it¡¯s just Lin Xinghe¡¯s statement! Although Boss Xie responded, it doesn¡¯t mean anything! ¡¿


    ¡­


    There was a lot of activity in the chat.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe had returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed.


    She closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but she never heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice.


    Lin Xinghe guessed that Xie Wuan might have been exhausted. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be so quiet, based on his past temperament. But it was good that he was quiet. At least she could get a good night¡¯s sleep.


    Lin Xinghe slept until the next morning.


    The door of the wardrobe was open, and there was no trace of Xiao Zang inside.


    She walked out of the bedroom.


    Qin Yan smiled and said to her, ¡°You¡¯re awake! Do you want water to wash up?¡±


    Qin Yan had changed her clothes.


    In the past, Qin Yan wore a bright red dress in the apocalypse, but now she changed her style of dress. Her clothes were very gentle and simple, and she said with a smile in her eyes, ¡°Xiao Zang left for the outside half an hour ago. Xie Wuan also went out, and the two of them are having a conflict outside.¡±


    Hearing the word ¡°conflict,¡± Lin Xinghe was slightly startled, so she turned and walked towards the window.


    The presidential suite was located on the top floor, and the windows had an excellent view. As soon as she looked down, she immediately saw the huge mutant plants controlled by Xie Wuan, Xiao Zang leaping on one of them.


    The two fought fiercely and clouds of dust billowed!


    After a while, Lin Xinghe could no longer see them.


    Soon after that, a breeze came and the dust dissipated. Lin Xinghe observed quietly for a while. Seeing that the two of them hadn¡¯t fought to the death, she asked Qin Yan to get her some water so she could wash up.


    Wang Mao was also in the living room. Hearing Lin Xinghe instructing Qin Yan, he also said, ¡°Bring me a basin too.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Qin Yan didn¡¯t even glance at him and said, ¡°There¡¯s not enough water here. Can¡¯t you do it yourself? It¡¯s not like your ice powers can¡¯t make water.¡±


    After she finished speaking, she activated his supernatural ability and filled a basin for Lin Xinghe.


    She handed it to Lin Xinghe, indifferent expression for Wang Mao melting away, and said softly, ¡°I¡¯ll put it in your restroom?¡± Seeing Lin Xinghe nod, she took the water basin to Lin Xinghe¡¯s bedroom.


    Lin Xinghe saw the differing expressions and smiled imperceptibly.


    After washing up, she ate some canned food for breakfast and then meandered  downstairs. There were ordinary zombies roaming every floor of the hotel. Ordinary zombies and mutant zombies were innately different. There were actually only a handful of ordinary zombies that could mutate. After a few days, she estimated that for every thirty zombies, only one would mutate.


    Ordinary zombies were still afraid of the sun, but probably because of Xiao Zang¡¯s instructions, they left Lin Xinghe alone.


    Qin Yan and Wang Mao both followed behind Lin Xinghe and went downstairs together.


    After all, the hotel had no electricity and the elevator could not carry passengers, so Lin Xinghe could only go down the numerous flights of stairs.


    When she arrived on the first floor of the hotel, as soon as the lobby doors opened, the air was filled with dust.


    Lin Xinghe coughed several times.

 CH 116.2

    It was also at this time that the conflict stopped.


    Xiao Zang ran towards Lin Xinghe almost immediately, making a grunting sound in his throat, and without saying anything, he took a stance beside Lin Xinghe.


    Not long after, Xie Wuan also got off his mutant plant.


    It was very rare that Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t hear any of his thoughts and could only see his indifferent expression.


    However, Lin Xinghe knew what kind of person Xie Wuan was. Although she couldn¡¯t hear his heart, she could roughly estimate what he was thinking, so she smiled and said to Xie Wuan, ¡°It seems that Xianjun slept well last night. It¡¯s a pity that I was not here, and I don¡¯t know which of you won¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°I.¡±


    Xiao Zang was a mutant zombie through and through. His neck could twist 360 degrees, and now his back and his head were both facing Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Xianjun is really in good spirits.¡±


    Xie Wuan replied emotionlessly, ¡°Sure.¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°I¡¯m going to go to the power plants and reservoirs today. When I arrived yesterday, I found that many of the facilities were just old and not that damaged. Perhaps the water, electricity and internet can be restored¡­are you coming?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°No.¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t force it. She turned her head and whispered a few words to Xiao Zang. When she was about to set off with Xiao Zang, Qin Yan,  and Wang Mao, Xie Wuan suddenly said, ¡°¡­I¡¯ll go too.¡±


    Lin Xinghe felt that these cold and indifferent words sounded a bit different than usual, but after thinking about it a bit, she figured it out. Xie Wuan misunderstood that she liked him. She explained everything to him last night, and now that he knew he had misinterpreted her, it was inevitable that he would be beating himself up for thinking too much of things, so it was reasonable that they were awkward at the moment.


    Maybe it was too awkward, and now he didn¡¯t even have an inner voice.


    Lin Xinghe said softly, ¡°Okay, with a teammate like Xianjun, I can rest assured wherever I go.¡±


    Xie Wuan stared at her.


    But after a few seconds, he looked away.


    He let a vine hang down from the mutant plant, stepped on it, and said, ¡°Come on, I¡¯ll follow you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe happily responded and then got into the car.


    Qin Yan and Wang Mao sat in front.


    Lin Xinghe sat in the back row.


    Xiao Zang was still on the roof.


    Passing by a large supermarket, Lin Xinghe also ventured in to find some unexpired food and daily necessities.


    It was rare for Xiao Zang not to follow Lin Xinghe, and she didn¡¯t know where Xiao Zang went. When they passed the beverage area, Xiao Zang disappeared.


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice, ¡°Why didn¡¯t Xiao Zang follow you?¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew that Xie Wuan was a little disgusted with Xiao Zang. He usually called Xiao Zang ¡°carcass¡± in his heart. Now, listening to him calling Xiao Zang seriously, Lin Xinghe suddenly felt it was a little funny. She held back her smile and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t he always following you?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, it might be his fledgling complex. Just like Xiao Xue Ji, he probably imprinted on the first person to speak to him.¡±


    Xie Wuan asked her, ¡°Do you have one?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I don¡¯t. People with strong wills don¡¯t rely on others, so it¡¯s unlikely that the fledgling complex will happen to me¡­¡± As if thinking of something, she asked, ¡°Xianjun, do you need daily necessities? Cultivation is banned in this exam room, so can you still fast?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°No, I¡¯m prepared.¡±


    When Lin Xinghe heard this, she continued to look for daily necessities. She took a little too much and her backpack was full, but when she couldn¡¯t hold the stuff with both hands, Xie Wuan suddenly stretched out his hands to share some of the burden with her.


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised.


    Xie Wuan didn¡¯t look at her and said, ¡°No need to thank me, it¡¯s not difficult.¡±


    The tone was also light, without the slightest waver.


    After a while, he said again, ¡°If you need anything else, just take it. I¡¯ll hold it for you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe turned her head and saw that at some point Xie Wuan brought a pot of green vines by his side. The leaves were as big as a shopping basket, and the sides of the basket were reinforced with branches.


    Everything Lin Xinghe took from the shelves was placed inside.


    The small vine pot grew two small feet and followed behind the two of them, looking very cute.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s so cute! I like this vine pot.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°It¡¯s just a vine pot. If you like it, I will give it to you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was about to thank him, but then, she heard a long-lost voice¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Such a useless thing, but she said she liked it.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my illustrious self?¡±


    ¡°Why doesn¡¯t she like my illustrious self?¡±


    ¡°Why!¡±

 CH 117.1

    Lin Xinghe was shocked.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s internal shout of ¡°why¡± really frightened her.


    ¡­ Why what?


    ¡­ Did she need a reason to not crush on Xie Wuan?


    For the first time, Lin Xinghe¡¯s mask slipped up, and she looked at Xie Wuan with a hint of trepidation.


    Xie Wuan calmly sent the plant in front of Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°Why do you have a look of horror on your face? Oh, do you think it is ordinary?¡±


    Without waiting for Lin Xinghe to reply, he continued ¡°It¡¯s really ordinary, just a flowerpot with a plant inside. After leaving this examination room, I¡¯ll give you a better one from my infinite space¡­¡±


    He pondered slightly and said, ¡°I have a species of rare celestial grass called Qiongjiang. Just watering it with ordinary water will make it produce nectar and liquid jade*. If you want to drink juice, just think about juice when you water the plant.¡±


    *TL Note: This is an idiom for a type of elixir that allows one to speed up their cultivation to immortality.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°That¡¯s pretty amazing.¡±


    Xie Wuan urged, ¡°This pot is only a commonplace item, and it cannot be compared with the Qiongjiang.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s too precious, Xianjun, I¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°How can the things this illustrious one offers be vulgar? How would this illustrious one give others vulgar things in front of so many viewers? If people found out, what would happen to this illustrious one¡¯s reputation? Wouldn¡¯t other people think that this illustrious one has nothing good in his infinite space?¡±


    Xie Wuxin¡¯s voice¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Hm, has this illustrious one ever cared about other people¡¯s opinions?¡±


    ¡°No, I want Lin Xinghe to know that there are countless treasures sitting in my illustrious self¡¯s infinite space, and liking this seat has only advantages and no disadvantages¡­¡±


    ¡°As long as she likes my illustrious self, this illustrious one can even create a moving forest for her.¡±


    ¡°She must not have realized that my illustrious self is excellent.¡±


    ¡°If she doesn¡¯t like the Qiongjiang, this illustrious one also has a magic mirror in this seat. It was dropped in a xianxia examination room and can create clothes out of one¡¯s imagination¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh no, never mind.¡±


    ¡°It was useless at the time, so I destroyed it¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­It doesn¡¯t matter. This illustrious one will just make another one for her.¡±


    ¡°At that time, she will definitely be happy. Her eyes will brighten, and she will develop affection for my illustrious self.¡±


    Lin Xinghe originally wanted to reject Xie Wuan¡¯s Qiongjiang. After all, it was too precious. However, before she could make her rejection clear, Xie Wuan¡¯s internal dialogue pinged in her mind, which put Lin Xinghe at a loss.


    ¡­ Was Xie Wuan trying to pursue her?


    ¡­ Or did her explanations and clarifications make him feel like he overthought the whole situation, so he was trying to save face?


    So far¡­


    It seemed more like the latter.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t want to fight about this. Xie Wuan¡¯s brain made up so much. After he felt vindicated enough, she would act heartbroken, and everything would be behind them.


    It was better than Xie Wuan internally screaming ¡°why doesn¡¯t she like this illustrious one?¡±


    It was as if she was a heartless person who did something nasty.


    Lin Xinghe said slowly, ¡°Then¡­ thank you, Xianjun ¡­¡±


    The audience was bamboozled.


    ¡¾¡­No, I just slept, how did the exam style change after I woke up? ¡¿


    ¡¾Xianjun, wake up! Do you know what you are doing? ¡¿


    ¡¾I have never seen Xianjun say so many words at once¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I¡­ have never seen Xie Wuan give anything to anyone, oh, except for Xiao Xue Ji. ¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck! Xie Wuan likes Lin Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡¾I never expected Xianjun to be such a person¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Unexpected!¡¿


    ¡¾No, I¡¯m still in the loop. Hasn¡¯t Boss Xie been cold to Lin Xinghe all the time? Why did his attitude change suddenly after Lin Xinghe explained that she didn¡¯t like him? ¡¿


    ¡¾I have a bold guess! Boss Xie has always liked Lin Xinghe! I also think that Lin Xinghe likes him! But as he¡¯s a love noob, he didn¡¯t know how to express it. After Lin Xinghe tried to explain the circumstances, he felt sad and decided to pursue Lin Xinghe! This can also explain why Boss Xie didn¡¯t get a wink of sleep last night! ¡¿


    ¡¾Am I the only one who thinks that thanks to the big boss¡¯s relationship experience, it is very likely that he does not know that he likes Lin Xinghe? ¡¿


    ¡¾So, now we know that Xie Wuan likes Lin Xinghe, but they don¡¯t know that they have mutual affections? Oh wow! ¡¿


    ¡¾Crying, crying! The plot took a three hundred and sixty degree turn. The money CP will live on forever! For ever! ¡¿


    ¡¾Goodbye Comrade Xiaopu! ¡¿


    ¡¾Goodbye Ling Xiran! ¡¿


    ¡¾Goodbye Snow Maiden! ¡¿


    ¡¾From today onwards, I will only stan Xie Wuan! ¡¿


    When Xie Wuan saw that Lin Xinghe had accepted his Qiongjiang, he became more sympathetic to Xiao Zang.

 CH 117.2

    Lin Xinghe and asked, ¡°Where have you been?¡±


    Xiao Zang hummed and didn¡¯t answer Lin Xinghe¡¯s words.


    Lin Xinghe realized that his clothes pockets were bulging, as if they were carrying something. The clothes she had picked out for him from the villa had zipper pockets that were empty at the time, but were bulging now. Xiao Zang probably found something he liked in the supermarket.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t ask any questions and called to Qin Yan and Wang Mao to leave together.


    When getting into the car, Xie Wuan also sat inside.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t talk to him, for fear that Xie Wuan would express more weird thoughts, so she sat quietly and let Qin Yan drive.


    Not long after, the group arrived at the generator.


    Surprisingly, the generators from this novel world consumed coal, and even after this many decades, there was a lot of fuel left. It was just that the machinery had not been used for many years, and most of it had rusted.


    Wang Mao knew a lot about generators. In order to show off in front of Lin Xinghe, he explained to Lin Xinghe. ¡°This generator  has been out of use for too long, and the machines that automatically generate electricity are damaged¡­ It can be restarted if we repair it and the electricity in the city can be restored. When the power is restored, the facilities at the nearby base station will also be powered, so we can have water and signal.¡±


    Wang Mao spoke with a little excitement in his tone.


    A city¡¯s water, electricity and signal would be restored, and Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan could control mutant zombies and plants. Humans, zombies, and plants could live in harmony. Were they truly far from prosperity in an apocalypse?


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Are you able to repair the machinery?¡±


    ¡°I can try,¡± Wang Mao said.


    However, after half an hour, Wang Mao gave up and said, ¡°I can repair one or two electrical appliances, but repairing generators requires a professional¡­ But there must be someone who can still do it. We can ask people in other survival bases.¡±


    Lin Xinghe stared at the huge machines in front of her and asked, ¡°Tell me how they generate electricity¡­¡±


    ¡°It uses the thermal energy from combustion to convert into electricity through these power generation devices, but right now these power generation devices are unusable¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly asked, ¡°Is it possible to generate electricity automatically? What about manual operation? Generally, there is always a backup plan for this kind of device, right? If it can¡¯t be used automatically, can it be done manually?¡±


    Wang Mao replied, ¡°Impossible, how many people would it take to move so many machines? And people always have to rest. When people rest, they have to have people who change shifts. It¡¯s impossible for people to gather so much in the apocalypse when there still are zombies¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No, the potential of our zombies is unlimited.¡±


    Lin Xinghe turned her head and said a few words to Xiao Zang and then to Xie Wuan.


    An hour later, Wang Mao¡¯s eyeballs were about to fall out.


    Manually propelled discs were placed on the periphery of all power generating units.


    Mutant plants were placing zombies one after another on each disc. After one was full, Xie Wuan immediately sealed the exit of the disc and the tops of all their heads.


    The zombies started walking around.


    The rusted generator slowly started up.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Look, the potential of zombies is unlimited! This is our perpetual mechanical array! Thank you for your hard work, zombie comrades! You have worked hard! All for the generator of our city! You have made an incomparable contribution, comrades, and I will always remember your credit!¡±


    Wang Mao swallowed his saliva.


    ¡­She really was the Zombie Queen!


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s audience.


    ¡¾LMFAO! Lin Xinghe is indeed the biggest villain! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ten seconds of silence for the zombies in those generators. ¡¿


    ¡¾Zombie: Mommy won¡¯t have to worry about me eating people anymore because I am working! ¡¿


    ¡¾Zombie: When you become a zombie, you still have to work! The hours aren¡¯t even a 996! It¡¯s 24/7! ¡¿


    ¡¾Perpetual motion machine! ¡¿


    ¡¾Uwu this Money CP is so sweet! Begging SL and Boss Xie to not come out of the exam room. I think it is possible to carry out urban infrastructure construction. After the water, electricity, and  signal are restored, the zombie queen and the plant king can get married! I am willing to spend to see SL and Boss Xie fall in love! From now on, you are my spiritual food!¡¿


    ¡¾Exactly! Then they can recruit some people, rebuild the castle hotel, make it a real castle, and then start the happy life of prince and princes! ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Romance simps shouldn¡¯t talk! I just want to see SL have a show in different exam rooms! Isn¡¯t it beautiful to see SL¡¯s career ambitions! Isn¡¯t the zombie queen good? Do you have to get CP with a man? Now, Xie Wuan has an unrequited crush on SL, and SL hasn¡¯t made a statement yet! SL is unique! The queen of zombies is forever! ¡¿


    ¡­

 CH 118.1

    After the electricity was restored, the water plants churned and the city rumbled.


    Once night fell, the city finally lit up.


    According to Principal Wang¡¯s plan, the fifth night was supposed to be dripping with blood, a veritable feast for zombies and mutant plants.


    In fact, this was indeed a feast for zombies and mutant plants.


    It was just that that damned person did not die and instead became the master of this feast.


    Mutated plants and mutant zombies were wildly playing.


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan leisurely drank treasured red wine taken from a villa cellar. The NPC Qin Yan, who should have died long ago, and Wang Mao, who cowered before the strong, collected available ingredients and were happily roasting a whole sheep.


    The rising aroma almost penetrated through the livestream and floated into Principal Wang¡¯s nose.


    Principal Wang couldn¡¯t help swallowing, but he had no appetite.


    Principal Wang, who has always portrayed himself as elegant and steady in front of outsiders, rarely spoke such foul language¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Motherfucking sonuvabitch!¡±


    Qin Yan was the one to propose the celebration.


    She cleaned the large terrace on the upper floors of the Castle Hotel and arranged some party supplies she brought from the large supermarket. She knew that if Lin Xinghe were going to the power station, the operation would definitely succeed. Lin Xinghe had already proved the impossible possible before.


    For example, a few days ago, Qin Yan definitely didn¡¯t believe that she could have a carnival with a group of mutant zombies and mutant plants at night.


    At this moment, a mutant plant was growing branches similar to hands and feet in front of Lin Xinghe, twisting its slender waist and moving rhythmically.


    Xiao Zang said a few words to a mutant zombie.


    The mutant zombie also learned in a similar manner. However, the scene was a bit bloody. He pulled out two intestines from his stomach, twisted his hips, raised his hands, and waved his intestines. Probably because of the stiffness of his body, he twisted dryly, like a robot. After a while, the zombie was rolled up by the branches of the mutant plant and threw it directly outside the door of the terrace.


    Qin Yan snapped a photo with a camera.


    After the city¡¯s supply of running water was restored, her special skill, the water system ability, wasn¡¯t of much use anymore, but Lin Xinghe valued her very much and entrusted her with the task of promoting the city and attracting residents.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Our city is different from other survival bases. We are humans, zombies, and plants. The three shall live in harmony to create a beautiful end of the world.¡±


    Qin Yan wrote the note down.


    ¡°¡­¡­Ok, I see.¡±


    Lin Xinghe handed over the publicity task to the NPC. She was very happy, took a sip of red wine, and asked Wang Mao to give her the grilled lamb chops.


    Qin Yan brought the small round table for two from the restaurant and spread the tablecloth over it. She brought tall glasses and vases, filled with wild flowers from the roadside due to the conditions in the apocalypse. After all, she was a girl, with a delicate mind and no lack of romantic brain cells. Because of this, there was even a candle on the table.


    The lighting of the candle, the pouring of the red wine, and the roasting of freshly caught lamb chops, made it seem like a normal candlelight dinner. The entertainment was the mutated plants and mutated zombies dancing in front of them as well as Xie Wuan¡¯s internal dialogue.


    Xie Wuan sat opposite her in a good mood. He hummed a tune she had never heard before.


    ¡­Perhaps it was some celestial song from his xianxia world.


    Lin Xinghe cut the lamb chops and slowly put a piece into her mouth. After swallowing it, she drank half a sip of red wine, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said to Xie Wuan, ¡°There are four days left in this exam room, Xianjun. What do you think we can do to piss off Principal Wang?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Kill everyone.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°¡­Murdering is a pleasure, but it wouldn¡¯t piss off Principal Wang.¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Xie Wuan.


    She hadn¡¯t been in the school for a while, and she could only see through some of the school¡¯s actions. With Xie Wuan¡¯s ability and time at the school, he would only know more than her.


    Xie Wuan looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe smiled at him and said, ¡°Xianjun, you understand what I mean, right?¡±


    Xie Wuan said slowly, ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡¾The two are having a candlelight dinner, what are they talking about? ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m so anxious, their words seem to have double meanings. ¡¿


    ¡¾Wait! I seem to understand something! Xie Wuan also knew about Lin Xinghe¡¯s inferences about the world of novels. He had never denied it. Is he confirming it? ¡¿


    ¡¾If even Xie Wuan admits it¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Whispering, you can watch other candidates and you will know. Although SL¡¯s test method doesn¡¯t work in all test rooms, most of them go exactly how she says. ¡¿


    ¡¾I just finished an exam and followed the SL. At the beginning of the world, I searched all over the world for NPCs that might be the protagonists. I was lucky to find them in less than an hour, and it cost me almost nothing. I finished pretty much immediately, whereas if I had stuck to my original methods, I would probably still be in the rooms. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL¡¯s ideas are really good news for the modern department. ¡¿


    ¡¾Exactly! No matter what exam room, according to SL¡¯s thinking, it is always the same. ¡¿


    ¡­

 CH 118.2

    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t see the barrage in the livestream, but she could guess what they were talking about.


    After the students in the whole school gradually realized that all the examination rooms were novel worlds, some students would delve even further. For example, they were the villains, and the world they were originally in was also a novel world. Going a step deeper, would some classmates wake up because of this, like her and Xie Wuan?


    For her to fight against Principal Wang, her own strength was not enough. After all, she did not fully understand the core operation method of the school. Only teaming up with Xie Wuan was not enough.


    The power of the masses was extreme.


    Now Principal Wang¡¯s focus must be on her. The more Principal Wang tried to stump her, the more she stumbled in her exam room, the easier it was for other students. That, in turn, meant the possibility of their awakening was higher.


    No matter what the core operation method of the school was, the real players in the game were the candidates. If half or even two thirds of the candidates awakened, they would realize that the so-called graduation and rebirth were just scaams, and overthrowing Principal Wang would naturally become everyone¡¯s goal.


    ¡°The power of the masses is great, and the ability of the individual is limited. Unite the masses and disintegrate the forces of evil!¡±


    Suddenly, Lin Xinghe remembered such a sentence.


    There were too many memories of her previous lives from the Mengpo Bridge. She had experienced many things in different novel worlds. No matter how developed her brain was, it was impossible for every little thing and word to be the same. She wouldn¡¯t remember something unless it was particularly memorable.


    Now that such a patriotic phrase suddenly popped out, Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help but try to remember which world she heard that phrase from.


    Lin Xinghe thought about it for a long time but couldn¡¯t come up with an answer.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s voice was still active.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t like it when this illustrious one kills people, so this illustrious one can just abstain.¡±


    ¡°She wants to be mad at Old Wang, so I can help her.¡±


    ¡°She is so smart. She must know that the examination room is just a fig leaf. She wants to lift this fig leaf, so I can help her lift it.¡±


    ¡°No, she might want to lift it herself. Just by seeing her getting along with that rotten flesh, it¡¯s evident that she doesn¡¯t need a man to keep her out of the wind and rain¡­¡±


    ¡°This illustrious one is different from that cadaver¡­¡±


    ¡°But if she likes it, it¡¯s okay¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help but glance at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan said to her at this time, ¡°If you want to be mad at Old Wang, just like the last exam room, let¡¯s turn the world upside down.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was about to answer, but she heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice sounding¡ª


    ¡°¡­Is it a little cold to say that?¡±


    ¡°The voice shouldn¡¯t be so cold¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s better to be gentle¡­¡±


    ¡°How to do that?¡±


    ¡°This illustrious one talks to his figurines in the same tone¡­¡±


    ¡°Lin Xinghe is not a puppet after all¡­¡±


    ¡°Different.¡±


    ¡°If you need this illustrious one¡¯s help, just say the word.¡±


    ¡°Wrong.¡±


    ¡°As long as there is a need for this illustrious one, just call this illustrious one anytime.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s still wrong¡­ It gives an aura of distance¡­¡±


    ¡°If you need this illustrious one, this illustrious one will always be there.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not right either.¡±


    ¡°If you need me, I¡¯m always here.¡±


    ¡°Very good, very good¡­¡±


    When Xie Wuan was about to speak, Lin Xinghe preemptively said, ¡°I also have the same idea as Xianjun. If I need Xianjun¡¯s help at that time, I will not hesitate to ask you, Xianjun.¡±


    Xie Wuan was silent for a while, then said, ¡°¡­All right.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I asked Qin Yan to help spread word of our city. There is a medium-sized survival base close to us. I heard Qin Yan, Wang Mao and the others say that there is a way of communication between the major survival bases. Well, tomorrow I will ask Xiao Zang to take them both to communicate with the nearest survival base¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the exam room left us too little time. If we can pass the exam after solving the exam questions like the last exam room, maybe we will have the opportunity to rule the end of the world.¡± She continued, ¡°But it¡¯s not impossible. Principal Wang has imagined a lot of possibilities for us. Nine days in the apocalypse means that every day must be a new trick. Now the two most dangerous creatures of the apocalypse belong to us, and the next creatures will be even more dangerous than them. Only¡­¡±


    She paused before saying, ¡°The protagonists of this world.¡±


    But as soon as she finished speaking, she said with a smile, ¡°But no matter how dangerous the creatures are, they can¡¯t compare to us. After all, we are high-level zombies, aren¡¯t we?¡±


    Before Lin Xinghe met Xie Wuan, she would still avoid saying some things to Xiao Zang.


    At first, she was worried that Xiao Zang had evolved too fast and could understand human language. Then, he would realize that she was lying to him. She could make the zombies listen to her, relying on Xiao Zang. If he didn¡¯t believe her anymore and regarded her as an enemy, the situation would be a bit difficult; secondly, Xiao Zang was too smart. She was worried that he would fully awaken in this examination room, and if he was discovered by Principal Wang, he would be used and recycled.


    But after Xie Wuan came, her worries evaporated.


    First was Xie Wuan¡¯s ability to control mutant plants. Even if Xiao Zang didn¡¯t trust her, he might not be able to fight against her. Second, she changed her mind during the exam. She needed the power of the masses¡ªthe students outside the examination room, the students in the examination room, and the NPCs in the examination room were all the masses. The more the merrier.

 CH 119.1

    Early the next morning, Lin Xinghe asked Xiao Zang to take Wang Mao and Qin Yan to the nearest survival base to recruit people.


    Before leaving, Lin Xinghe said to Xiao Zang, ¡°Xiao Zang, we need human beings. As successful high-level zombies, we have the ability and the responsibility to rule human beings. The world will eventually belong to us zombies! I hereby task you with an important mission. You take Qin Yan and Wang Mao, the two human beings, to the nearby survival base. Don¡¯t hurt human beings! Show them how powerful we are and make them surrender to us!¡±


    ¡°¡­Our city needs their construction. They are our slaves!¡±


    Xiao Zang stared at her for a while, then turned, grunted, and hummed. He jumped on the roof of the car, raised his head again, and howled a few times. A lot of Ordinary zombies appeared from all directions and followed behind the car.


    Under the watchful eyes of zombies, Qin Yan and Wang Mao got into the car.


    Qin Yan went over with the promotional materials.


    In addition to the city¡¯s electricity, water, and signal being restored, there was also the overall appearance of the city, various public facilities in good condition, and the hard work of zombies.


    Qin Yan also wrote the concept of high-level zombies in big characters and praised the merits of the zombie queen Lin Xinghe and the plant king Xie Wuan, expressing that they wanted to restore the peace and prosperity of the past in order to attract new residents.


    This place, which was once shrouded in darkness, now shone with dawn, becoming a beautiful peach blossom that carried the future of mankind.


    Wang Mao and Qin Yan possessed supernatural abilities. One ice and one water, one attack and one assist. It was a cinch knocking on the gates of major bases.


    They easily entered the survival base.


    When they explained their intentions, the people at the survival base thought they were both crazy¡­ until they saw the mutant zombie dressed like a human leading a group of ordinary zombies and living in peace with two humans.


    Qin Yan said that if they still didn¡¯t believe it, they could go to the central city with them.


    There was always some brave individual who wanted to see the unknown, especially because this exam room was the second competitive room.


    Only fifty candidates remained.


    At the beginning of the exam, the fifty candidates were assigned to different places in the apocalypse. The rest of the candidates who weren¡¯t actively being targeted like Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe included the ones Principal Wang thought weren¡¯t a threat, such as Jiuge-Rudolph, who was a tank obsessed with growing his hair. Fu Zhou and other similarly harmless students were all left in different places.


    Some of them died in the hands of zombies, some died in the hands of mutant plants, and the rest found their own living bases.


    They were all familiar with the names of Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan. Especially when they heard Lin Xinghe, they immediately felt that they had found their organization! They immediately packed up, rushed to the central region, and defected from their home base. There were still four days left in the apocalypse. Who knew what will happen in the next few days? They would definitely be able to get through it safely with Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan.


    ¡­ After all, the current exam room was too terrible. It was alright to land in the apocalypse and have zombies, mutant plants, and a group of people with awakened abilities, but their magic and immortal abilities were sealed. It really wasn¡¯t easy to survive.


    ¡­In the last exam room, those who followed Lin Xinghe basically had a vacation. In this exam room, they didn¡¯t even get a glimpse of Lin Xinghe¡¯s shadow. As soon as they landed, they were severely beaten by evil forces. Some people did not want to participate in the exam. Their lives were more important than points. Some people even envied the two newcomers trapped in Xie Wuan¡¯s carry-on space. So cool! They were stuck in a boss¡¯s portable space with nothing to do. As long as the number of eliminations was less than twenty-five, they had a free pass!


    As a result, when Qin Yan and Wang Mao came to recruit residents, batches and batches of people came with them¡­


    The first resident of the central city was a distant yet familiar face to Lin Xinghe.


    The reason why she didn¡¯t know him that well was that Lin Xinghe had nothing to do with him; the reason why she was familiar with him was because Lin Xinghe had heard his name many times in school ¨C Qi Qing, an ancient department boss.


    Qi Qing didn¡¯t come here in Qin Yan and Wang Mao¡¯s car.


    Before they brought the first group of residents over, Qi Qing broke through the city zombie horde by himself, and with his excellent physical strength and amazing feats, he came directly to the terrace of the castle hotel.


    At that moment, Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe were eating discount hot pot.


    In the morning, the two went out to hunt some edible animals. Xie Wuan also provided some plants that could be used as green leaves. Lin Xinghe had a small self-heating hot pot in her bag. She poured out the ingredients and soup base. Coupled with an induction cooker and pots and pans left over in the hotel, the apocalypse hot pot was fresh!


    The chat was going off about how SL lived in villas and bathed in hot springs in a murderer exam room. During the ogre cruise exam room, she got free acupuncture massages, in the human-hating robot exam room, she debuted as an idol, and in the haunted community exam room, she invested in property and became the richest person in the world. It was just the same as her being able to eat hot pot and watching mutant zombies and plants dance in an apocalypse exam room!


    Too 666!


    It just turned into a cry ¨C SL! Please! Carry! Me!


    After Qi Qing jumped onto the terrace with qi manipulation, he looked at the two people eating hot pot and fell silent for a while.


    Lin Xinghe handed over a bowl and chopsticks and asked, ¡°Do you want to eat hot pot?¡±


    Qi Qing: ¡°¡­Yes.¡±


    Qi Qing took the bowl and chopsticks and sat down at the square table.


    Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe sat face to face. After Qi Qing joined, his eyes tracked the two of them for a very short time. He sat down next to Xie Wuan with his bowl and chopsticks in his arms.

 CH 119.2

    It was the first time that Lin Xinghe had spoken to Qi Qing.


    She peeked at the ancient department boss.


    His body had been remodeled, and even if he wore a thin top, she could still vaguely see the lines of his muscles. He was born tall, almost two meters tall. His shoulders were broad, his complexion was dark, his broad chest and well-defined limbs were full of strength, and he carried a large sword behind his back. His visage reminded one of a leopard preparing for the final leap¡­


    But when he ate, he was very refined and elegant, not like a caveman.


    In this post-apocalyptic examination room, students from the ancient department obviously had an advantage.


    In the examination room, immortality, magic, and even supernatural powers were banned, but martial arts and qi manipulation were not. When Lin Xinghe was in City of Machines, she wondered why the school couldn¡¯t ban martial arts and qi manipulation. After she left the examination room and asked Gu Taoyao, she realized that Principal Wang felt that the ancient department¡¯s martial arts were not threatening. Qi Qing was the only outstanding person in the ancient department, while the rest were mediocre.


    Gu Taoyao said it kindly.


    Lin Xinghe could hear the meaning: Principal Wang disdained ancient martial arts.


    She watched Qi Qing¡¯s livestreams.


    Qi Qing¡¯s transformed body had a very strong explosive power. He was a very good melee candidate. If a candidate like him could pair with someone like Jiuge or find a good long-range mage, he would be invincible.


    After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Principal Wang really liked to underestimate the enemy. The past few exams showed her that he didn¡¯t study well or think of countermeasures at all. He couldn¡¯t suppress her properly. However, the more Principal Wang underestimated the enemy, the happier she was.


    Lin Xinghe graced Qi Qing with a smile and asked, ¡°Do you have any dietary restrictions? We plan to eat hot pot again for dinner. If you have any preferences, tell me, and I will pay attention to it tonight.¡±


    Before he finished speaking, she heard Xie Wuan¡¯s heart whispering¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Hmph, a greatsword.¡±


    At this time, Qi Qing replied, ¡°Thank you, but don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m very casual, practically a bystander to boot. I¡¯m not too good at talking because of my social anxiety; you guys can talk.¡±


    Qi Qing said this and lowered his head to eat.


    A few moments later, Qi Qing seemed to remember something, and said to Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe: ¡°If you have any doubts about me, you can ask, and I will answer honestly. Don¡¯t ask unnecessary personal questions, I have social anxiety.¡±


    A few more moments later, he had something more to say, raised his head and said to the air: ¡°Students watching the livestream, don¡¯t be matchmakers. I only have my sword in my heart. I don¡¯t like Xie Wuan, and I don¡¯t like Lin Xinghe. Don¡¯t make up your mind, I have social anxiety.¡±


    After speaking this time, he really lowered his head to eat completely and never raised his head to speak again.


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan commenting on Qi Qing in his heart¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Well, Qi Qing is a good person.¡±


    Lin Xinghe watched Qi Qing¡¯s livestream before and knew he was a silent man whose one sole treasure was his greatsword. She really didn¡¯t know that he had social anxiety.


    But as soon as he appeared, he directly voiced this.


    She appreciated straightforward people.


    Lin Xinghe really ignored Qi Qing and continued to eat hot pot with Xie Wuan.


    In less than ten minutes, Lin Xinghe heard a familiar voice in the air.


    ¡°Lin Xinghe!¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked up and couldn¡¯t help being surprised.


    It was Jiuge and Fu Zhou.


    The two of them sat on Leiting¡¯s body, and Leiting¡­ had grown a pair of wings.


    Lin Xinghe was pleasantly surprised. She quickly stood up from the square table of four, walked towards the two of them, and asked, ¡°You guys came here sooner than I thought! I thought it would be at least the day after tomorrow. Where did you land?¡±


    As soon as Fu Zhou landed, Leiting ran towards Lin Xinghe, happily circling around her, twisting his snake¡¯s head and proudly waving his goose wings, as if he was showing off¡ª


    Mother-in-law! Look at my wings!


    Fu Zhou and Leiting were connected, and at this moment he just wanted to roll his eyes.


    After he landed in this exam room, his talismans were rendered useless, but fortunately, Leiting made rapid progress in this examination room. Because of his gluttony, he accidentally ate a mutant goose, which was a blessing in disguise¡ªhis body sprouted a pair of snow-white wings that allowed him to fly.


    Leiting wanted to call the wings Xiao Xue Ji.


    Fu Zhou felt disgusted and disagreed.


    Leiting was annoyed with him for one night because of this, but the next day he changed his mind. He no longer wanted to call them Xiao Xue Ji. Instead, they would be called the Wings of Love.


    Fu Zhou still didn¡¯t agree, and lied saying that Xiao Xue Ji didn¡¯t like geese. If she knew that the Wings of Love were mutated from a goose, Xiao Xue Ji might not even want to look at him.


    Only then did Leiting give up the idea of


    naming the wings. Instead, he was trying to figure out how to retract the wings into his body.


    After all, Xiao Xue Ji didn¡¯t love geese!


    Leiting thought about it carefully. It made sense¡ªXiao Xue Ji was a cat, and when a goose flapped its wings, it could be quite ferocious. Even a cat would be afraid!


    He couldn¡¯t make Xiao Xue Ji be afraid of him!


    So Leiting practiced hard and killed a lot of zombies and mutant plants with his terrifying attack power. Only then did he learn to retract his wings, and he also learned to deceive himself and others. He silently brainwashed Fu Zhou every day. What Leiting ate wasn¡¯t a mutant goose, but rather a mutant white rabbit, Leiting told himself, and his wings were made of fluffy rabbit fur.


    Fu Zhou was too lazy to care about his angsty snake¡¯s thoughts, but for the sake of his merits, he still decided to obey its idea. After all, he obtained many zombie crystal cores by means of Leiting, which gave him a great deal of power in a large survival base.


    So, Fu Zhou said with a smile, ¡°Leiting broke through in this examination room, and now he can fly. It may be because of him missing Xiao Xue Ji¡ªhe has grown a pair of white wings.¡±


    Leiting: Ouch! Dad!


    Fu Zhou: Don¡¯t ruin it now!

 CH 120

    Principal Wang did not miss those chat messages.


    He memorized the names of the students who dissed him and wrote down the names everyone who had laughed at him in his little notebook.


    In the exam room, Lin Xinghe and her party happily chowed down on hot pot.


    Principal Wang watched the proceedings calmly. Even when Lin Xinghe said that he was going to be mad at her, he was not particularly angry.


    He also had a secret weapon¡ª


    Lots of explosives under the city.


    All the protagonists in this novel world, whether they were male or female, hated the zombies with a vengeance¡ªall of them had relatives who died by the hands of zombies.


    They swore that if they never got rid of all the zombies in this life, they would never start families!


    According to the progress in the novel, this was originally the climax. If Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan stayed low-profile and didn¡¯t go overboard, the protagonist would not have noticed them, which would not have advanced the plot.


    He didn¡¯t like Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan or Fu Zhou and Rudolph, who had teamed up with them, and even Qi Qing, who was the ancient department¡¯s loose cannon. The five people he hated had teamed up together, and he would use this exam room to get rid of five birds with one stone.


    Right now, Lin Xinghe and the others were no longer vigilant, and they were still delusionally recruiting residents and developing urban infrastructure.


    Little did they know there were enough explosives to blow up an entire city under their feet.


    He switched to the school¡¯s management backstage to see the perspective of the protagonist.


    The protagonist and his party had already snuck into Qin Yan and Wang Mao¡¯s car and were heading to the central city.


    Principal Wang glanced at the playback.


    Not long ago, the male protagonist and the female protagonist conspired to blow up the entire city, killing the so-called zombie queen and plant king, and kill all the zombies, mutant zombies, and mutant plants along the way so that they disappeared in the sea of flames.


    Principal Wang switched back to Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream.


    Lin Xinghe had a sweet smile on her face.


    He watched calmly and said, ¡°Smile, you are running out of time.¡±


    Lin Xinghe, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou talked about what happened after they entered the exam. Lin Xinghe even explained Xie Wuan¡¯s ability to manipulate the plants so that they could understand how the zombie queen and the plant king came to be.


    After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, Qi Qing, the old man of the ancient department, also spoke briefly and comprehensively about his own affairs.


    After listening, Lin Xinghe found that Qi Qing indeed had social anxiety. It was no wonder he fought alone. After landing in this apocalypse, he did not join any survival base or rogue team. Instead, he kited the zombies and spent the first five days of the apocalypse calmly. Finally, he smelled hot pot, so he followed the smell to the terrace of the castle hotel and sat down to eat hot pot.


    After the five people finished eating hot pot, Lin Xinghe arranged accommodations for them.


    There were two rooms left in the presidential suite.


    Naturally, Lin Xinghe called for a room for Fu Zhou and Jiuge.


    As for Qi Qing, she didn¡¯t make any arrangements. She said to him directly, ¡°There is a lot of space in the hotel. You can live wherever you like. We usually eat on the terrace. If you are hungry, you can come and eat with us.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Unexpectedly, Qi Qing said, ¡°Are there no more rooms in your presidential suite?¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought for a while and felt that it wasn¡¯t impossible if Qi Qing wished to live in the presidential suite. After all, there was a room with two double beds. Fu Zhou and Jiuge had a good relationship. It should be nothing to them to squeeze in one room¡­


    However, Lin Xinghe still went to consult Jiuge and Fu Zhou for their opinions.


    Jiuge was still immersed in the pain of losing his hair and had no need for anything else. He put on a pitiful face and said, ¡°Whatever.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°I have no problem. Leiting can stay in the small living room.¡±


    After Lin Xinghe finished asking, she went back to Qi Qing and said, ¡°Are you sure you want to live in the same suite as us? If so, there is an empty single room.¡±


    She brought Qi Qing to have a look.


    Qi Qing asked, ¡°Who lives next door?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The door on the left is Xie Wuan, and the door on the right is the small kitchen.¡±


    Qi Qing quickly looked up at Lin Xinghe and nodded.


    Qi Qing¡¯s audience felt it was strange.


    ¡¾It¡¯s a little strange? Boss Qi isn¡¯t the kind of person who can integrate into a group of people? Following his usual style, Boss Qi wouldn¡¯t even choose the room on the top floor, let alone in the presidential suite. He has always liked to stay away from crowded places. What happened today? ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, I am also very puzzled! ¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Xinghe may have put MDMA in the hot pot¡­¡¿


    ¡¾The boss said not to ship them! Guys don¡¯t fall for it! Ladies don¡¯t fall for it! His CP is only his sword! ¡¿


    ¡¾Speaking of which, have you found something? When Qi Qing and Xie Wuan are in the same exam room, although he was very socially anxious, he did not talk to Xie Wuan. ¡­¡¿


    ¡¾A coincidence? ¡¿


    ¡¾I thought it was a coincidence too! But this time Boss Qi Qing specifically asked who lived next door. After Lin Xinghe said it was Xie Wuan, he said no problem! ¡¿


    ¡¾As soon as you say it, I also think so¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Why exactly? ¡¿


    ¡¾don¡¯t know. ¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe and Qi Qing had known each other for a short time. Although she didn¡¯t know why he suddenly asked to be admitted to the presidential suite, she didn¡¯t ask. Whatever the reason, it was his private matter.


    And after she arranged the room, Qi Qing, the socially anxious boss, never appeared again.


    After nightfall, when Qin Yan and Wang Mao came back, they were a little surprised to see the extra Fu Zhou in the suite.


    Qi Qing and Jiuge were in their room and did not come out.


    As soon as Xiao Zang saw Lin Xinghe, he walked to her side and stood quietly.


    Fu Zhou looked at Xiao Zang with the gaze of one looking at a novelty.


    Qin Yan quickly reacted. She didn¡¯t ask a word, passed Fu Zhou, and reported today¡¯s situation directly to Lin Xinghe.


    She said in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me before if there were some well-known big names?¡±


    Lin Xinghe raised her eyebrows slightly, ¡°They came?¡±


    Qin Yan nodded and said, ¡°Xu Mo of the survival base in Area B, Su Zikang, the lord of the small survival base, and even Cheng Sheng, who is notorious for his brutality¡­ There is also a young girl named Shen Zixin. When I brought them here, it seemed that they were all interested in Shen Zixin.¡±


    Lin Xinghe heard this.


    ¡­Hey, wasn¡¯t this the standard heroine?


    It looked like this was a romance for a female protagonist.


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°I know them. I came from the survival base in District B. Xu Mo is the son of the lord. Although he has not awakened any powers, his IQ is extremely high. He is only twenty-three years old. Su Zikang is the lord of a well-known small survival base and has a rare dual-type ability. Cheng Sheng, well, I also know that his ability is very aggressive. The traffic collapse in the central city were caused by him.¡±


    He said with great interest, ¡°They¡¯re all gathered here. It¡¯s not their style¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Where are they now?¡±


    Qin Yan said, ¡°I have arranged a room for them on the same floor. I have also arranged accommodations for all those who were willing to come to our city.¡±

 CH 121

    Lin Xinghe praised Qin Yan for her quick thinking; entrusting her with the task was the right choice. Qin Yan was in high spirits.


    She added, ¡°I¡¯ll go and see if they have any needs¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°No need. Go and inform them that we will have a welcome party in the banquet hall on the first floor in the evening. Everyone must attend.¡± After a while, she pondered slightly and said, ¡°The time will be eight o¡¯clock in the evening. Please prepare some food. Instead of lamb chops like yesterday, just make whatever people eat at their survival bases.¡±


    Qin Yan agreed.


    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°Where¡¯s Wang Mao?¡±


    Qin Yan said, ¡°He¡¯s dealing with Xu Mo and Su Zikang¡­¡± After a while, she looked at the other people around Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°Can we step outside to talk?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said cheerfully, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Saying that, she brought Qin Yan into her bedroom.


    Xiao Zang came in without saying a word.


    Lin Xinghe ignored him and said directly to Qin Yan, ¡°What do you want to say to me alone?¡±


    Qin Yan whispered uneasily, ¡°I have known Wang Mao for many years, and I know his character very well. He is an ambitious man, and he will not be willing to stop here¡­ He¡¯s not firmly convinced in harmony with zombies and mutant plants. He is different from me. I am willing to follow any decision you make, not because you are the zombie queen, but rather because you are you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised, not because the other was betraying Wang Mao, but because she would phrase the last sentence like that . With Xie Wuan¡¯s arrival, she no longer worried that someone would see through her lies. In front of Qin Yan, she was not particularly shy and even sometimes openly communicated with the livestream audience. When it came to female protagonists, male protagonists, supporting roles, novels and other keywords¡­


    Every time she observed Qin Yan¡¯s expression, the other party had her pair of beautiful eyes downcast. She seemed to be distracted or in a daze.


    Now it seemed that she had heard it all.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, good to know. Is there anything else?¡±


    Qin Yan opened her mouth and said, ¡°Are you¡­¡± She paused, then changed her phrasing and said, ¡°Am I¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe interrupted her and said, ¡°You and Wang Mao are of the same race. Your willingness to tell me about Wang Mao¡¯s small actions proves your determination to follow me. I won¡¯t think you can¡¯t be trusted because of your whistleblowing¡­¡±


    She reached out and pressed the other¡¯s shoulder with a lot of strength.


    She smiled slightly, ¡°You are a smart girl and knew to go to a private area to talk about this with me. Remember to pay attention¡ªthe walls have ears no matter where you are.¡±


    Qin Yan closed her mouth.


    She said thoughtfully, ¡°I¡¯m going to inform the new residents about the welcome party then.¡±


    Lin Xinghe patted her shoulder gently and said, ¡°Ok, go.¡±


    After Qin Yan left, Lin Xinghe invited Xie Wuan, Fu Zhou, and the others to the welcome party.


    Lin Xinghe felt that Qi Qing would probably not go, but out of courtesy, she decided to ask.


    Considering Qi Qing¡¯s social anxiety, Lin Xinghe wrote a note and stuffed it under the crack of Qi Qing¡¯s door, then knocked.


    Soon, her note was pushed back out under the crack of the door.


    Somewhat unexpectedly to Lin Xinghe, Qi Qing did not refuse, but asked her¡ªhow many people were going to participate? And who, exactly?


    Lin Xinghe replied ¨C In addition to us, there were also the NPCs in this examination room. Counting the mutant zombies, there should be more than 100 people.


    Qi Qing returned ¡ªI¡¯ll think about it. If I want to go, I will show up, and if I don¡¯t show up, don¡¯t worry about me.


    Lin Xinghe said there was no problem.


    The time for the welcome party was set at eight o¡¯clock in the evening. It was already a quarter past eight when Lin Xinghe arrived.


    The banquet hall probably used to be a wedding banquet hall. Now with zombies and a bunch of mutant plants, it didn¡¯t seem as crowded.


    Lin Xinghe saw the most dazzling ones in the crowd almost at first sight¡ªthe protagonists of this book world.


    Qin Yan was undoubtedly beautiful, but compared to the protagonist Shen Zixin, she was incomparable.


    Even in the apocalypse, where all kinds of resources are extremely scarce, her skin was creamy and her smile was dazzling, like a precious flower kept in a greenhouse.


    Lin Xinghe finally understood why the old mermaid city lord would not hesitate to think that that kind of stunning beauty must be one of the protagonists when he saw Baileen. After all, novels wouldn¡¯t spend too much time or effort on the details of non-important characters. Anyone with an extremely enchanting appearance must be one of the main characters.


    Fu Zhou muttered, ¡°Stunning beauty.¡±


    Jiuge, ¡°There¡¯s so much hair.¡±


    Xie Wuan, ¡°Hmph. As expected.¡±


    Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice again¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Fu Zhou has an eye disease.¡±


    ¡°Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin.¡±


    ¡°Not as good as Lin Xinghe.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was still admiring Shen Zixin¡¯s good looks, but when she heard Xie Wuan say this, she couldn¡¯t help but get distracted. Her natural looks weren¡¯t bad. She wasn¡¯t absolutely gorgeous compared to Shen Zixin, who was specially crafted by the hand of God.


    But women liked to hear other people¡¯s compliments, especially Xie Wuan¡¯s firm and sincere compliments, and this made Lin Xinghe feel a little happy inside.


    She quickly recovered.


    While she was looking at Shen Zixin, Shen Zixin was also looking at her and the men around her.


    When the others came in, their eyes were filled with incredible scrutiny, and some were even whispering in a low voice¡ª


    ¡°Is this a high-level zombie?¡±


    ¡°It looks exactly like us¡­¡±


    ¡°Looks like an ordinary girl¡­¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Fu Zhou and Leiting from Area B?¡±


    ¡­


    The protagonist group looked at them calmly, but with a hint of trepidation in their eyes.


    When Lin Xinghe saw this, her heart immediately sped up.


    ¡­This was the sixth night in the exam room.


    ¡­ It was impossible for Principal Wang to have no backup plan. The protagonist group suddenly came over. According to Qin Yan¡¯s character, it doesn¡¯t look like she would be defect to others, especially the one named Cheng Sheng.


    ¡­ They were definitely here to destroy the villain!


    Lin Xinghe was a little excited. The ones she had encountered before were all mutant zombies and mutant plants. Although their force value was high, they were boring to fight. Fighting against the protagonists was much more interesting than outsmarting beasts, and she could also verify how high the IQs of the protagonists of the world were.

 CH 122.1

    At the welcome party, the zombie queen, who was a high-level zombie, wrote a speech.


    People from major bases came all the way here, so she naturally had to show sincerity.


    Lin Xinghe knew that they had seen the cases of mutated zombies, mutated plants, and living people peacefully coexisting. Right now, what she was most worried about was whether or not this harmony could be maintained.


    Although there were examples , who could know if this case was an outlier?


    Nothing she said would be as persuasive as them staying here for a period of time and experiencing the process of getting along with the mutant zombies and mutant plants in person.


    But the surface arrangements were always needed.


    As the queen of zombies, Lin Xinghe expressed her expectation on the stage to live in harmony with human beings and repeatedly stated that they would not harm human beings.


    There were also many mutant zombies in the banquet hall.


    Mostly because of their nature, they all desired human flesh but were also quite afraid of humans.


    Lin Xinghe saw it in their eyes and knew that they were not afraid of human beings, but rather afraid of Xiao Zang and the overly powerful Xie Wuan.


    She glanced at Xiao Zang.


    Xiao Zang was still standing quietly behind her, wearing the clothes she chose for him and wearing a black eye patch. She didn¡¯t know what he was thinking about in his zombie head.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at his trouser pockets again. They were still bulging. Since he came back from the large supermarket that day, his pockets had bulged. Judging from the shape, she could only guess that whatever he was carrying was palm-sized.


    Suddenly, Xiao Zang seemed to have seen something, and a low growl came out of his throat.


    Lin Xinghe followed his line of sight and happened to see a mutant zombie in the corner trying to approach some humans. However, as soon as Xiao Zang made a sound, he immediately relented and took a few steps back, as if he were a child who had done something wrong, with his head drooping, leaning against the wall and standing motionless.


    The next moment, Xiao Zang bypassed the crowd and walked to the mutant zombie. In less than a moment, Xiao Zang came back, followed by that mutated zombie.


    The mutant zombie crouched in the corner.


    Xiao Zang returned to Lin Xinghe as if nothing had happened.


    Lin Xinghe gazed at Xiao Zang thoughtfully.


    After the speech, Lin Xinghe stepped off the stage.


    Many people in the audience looked at each other. They seemed to be hesitating whether to come over and greet Lin Xinghe. The protagonist group led by Shen Zixin finally came.


    Shen Zixin stretched out her hand and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Shen Zixin.¡±


    Lin Xinghe took her hand.


    ¡­As expected, she was the heroine¡ªshe still had a pair of delicate hands in the apocalypse!


    Shen Zixin¡¯s eyes fell on Xie Wuan. She stretched out her hand again and said with a smile, ¡°You are Xie Wuan who can control mutant plants? I¡¯m Shen Zixin.¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded coldly, but did not extend his hand to shake it back.


    Shen Zixin felt a little embarrassed.


    But soon, a man beside her said, ¡°Sorry, Zixin doesn¡¯t know the etiquette of your zombies. She is used to greeting others with human etiquette. ¡±


    Shen Zixin retracted her hand and glanced at Xu Mo gratefully.


    Su Zikang pursed his lips slightly, but said nothing.


    Cheng Sheng smiled unconvincingly and said lazily, ¡°It¡¯s the apocalypse. Who still engages in etiquette? Does the nerd who grew up in a survival base only have etiquette on the brain? Etiquette must be useful in the apocalypse.¡±


    Su Zikang retorted, ¡°It¡¯s really not as good as someone¡¯s stirring up shit in the central region.¡±


    Shen Zixin said warmly, ¡°You guys stop arguing¡­¡±


    After speaking, she said to Lin Xinghe: ¡°I¡¯m so sorry for that. They just like to bicker, nothing else. Thank you for taking us in. We are looking forward to a harmonious coexistence with zombies and mutant plants. If you ever need us to do anything, just let us know.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No worries.¡±


    When the welcome party was about to end, Qi Qing finally appeared. After he arrived, he stayed in the corner, side by side with another mutant zombie like a gatekeeper.


    After the welcome party, Lin Xinghe and her party returned to the presidential suite on the top floor.


    Fu Zhou and Jiuge both knew that the school was targeting Lin Xinghe. They were not stupid. They had their doubts about the school. After being awakened by Lin Xinghe¡¯s operation at the entrance of the school cafeteria, both of them understood that the school was definitely not a benevolent organization. If they didn¡¯t find a way out, they would be killed by the school sooner or later. Thus, when Lin Xinghe proposed to form a team, they did not hesitate to choose their alliances.


    After reuniting with Lin Xinghe in the examination room and seeing Lin Xinghe mocking Principal Wang in public without hesitation or mercy, they knew that Lin Xinghe planned to tear his facade off completely.


    They were on the same boat as Lin Xinghe. If Lin Xinghe decided to reveal Principal Wang¡¯s true face, it meant that they also had a duty to show Principal Wang¡¯s true face..


    Fu Zhou had his own considerations. He realized that sooner or later, he would have revealed the other¡¯s true face. Now that it was at a time that his actions could anger Principal Wang, he happily joined the team that mocked Principal Wang.

 CH 122.2

    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°Are those so-called protagonists the ultimate weapon of Principal Wang?¡±


    Jiuge instantly said, ¡°They truly are protagonists.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the protagonist group. Shen Zixin is undoubtedly the heroine, but the male lead is hard to say. Su Zikang, Xu Mo, and Cheng Sheng all have the potential to be male leads. Qin Yan said that they were almost a team. From the current point of view, their relationship has not developed, and Shen Zixin, the heroine, is not a famous person at present. The examination room should still be at the early stages of the novel world¡­ Xu Mo is the blood-related son of the leader of Area A, so he probably came to inquire about the situation at present.¡±


    Fu Zhou replied, ¡°Night is advantageous terrain for zombies, so they probably won¡¯t act now. If they mean ill, we may be able to know what they want to do if we follow them quietly during the day¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe pondered slightly and said, ¡°Actually, we can also think from the perspective of Principal Wang. We have absolute force here. No matter how high the force of the protagonist group is, they can¡¯t deal with us together, as deep into the enemy camp as they are. That is something that can be relied on. Now that we are approaching the late stage of the examination room, Principal Wang should have prepared a heavyweight weapon after the ordinary zombies, mutant zombies, and mutant plants.¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°It is not difficult to guess that this weapon is related to the protagonist group. Maybe the heroine can destroy half the world with a snap of her fingers¡­ But at present, the heroine is still in the early stage of the development of the novel world¡­ Either her power has been sheltered or has not yet been awakened.¡±


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe tilted her head nonchalantly and said, ¡°I personally think that Principal Wang¡¯s understanding of this novel world is not deep enough. Principal Wang, I want to teach you a free lesson as a thank you gift¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe called Qin Yan over.


    She asked Qin Yan about various information related to the protagonist group.


    Qin Yan had been in contact with all the residents. As soon as Lin Xinghe asked, she went to consult more residents who might know. In less than an hour, Lin Xinghe grasped some information about the protagonist group, such as family background, personality, etc.


    Lin Xinghe paid the most attention to their family backgrounds.


    She spoke to the air. ¡°Principal Wang, do you know what is the most important thing in a novel? Yes, it is the character design. The soul element that can support a whole novel is definitely the character design. Where did their personalities come from? That is  definitely closely related to their family backgrounds. Only by understanding the family background and growth process of a character can you better understand the cause of the personality of that character. ¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ Principal Wang, you have to deeply understand their personalities in order to come up with more effective ways to target me. You¡¯ve failed every time, and of course, you now feel that you have control of the ultimate weapon. Maybe you think everything I¡¯ve said is just a joke, but it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll go and prove it to you now¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe went to the floor where the protagonist group was located.


    The first thing she knocked on was Xu Mo¡¯s door.


    When Xu Mo saw her, his eyes immediately became alert, but the emotion was fleeting, and he said warmly, ¡°Is something wrong?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Let¡¯s go in and talk.¡±


    Having said that, she walked in and closed the door.


    Xiao Zang followed behind her.


    Lin Xinghe said straightforwardly, ¡°Let me explain my intentions. You chose wisely in coming here. You didn¡¯t have a good time in Area A, right? You have five younger brothers who have awakened different abilities. The pressure is not small, right?¡±


    Xu Mo asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°What do you want to say?¡±


    She pointed to the night scene outside the window and said, ¡°This is a beautiful city, rich in resources. It¡¯s hard for people not to be moved by it. Don¡¯t you want to own it? Don¡¯t you want to be a person in power? When you have power, will Shen Zixin still not like you?¡±


    She unfolded the city map on the table and circled the east panel with her finger.


    ¡°This city is too big. I can¡¯t manage it alone, and I need talents like you, I will divide the land here for you. Mutant zombies and mutant plants will never be your enemy, and you can be the  lord of this land. You can recruit people to develop your territory as you like. We provide water, electricity, and signal here. All the materials in this territory belong to you, and what you need to do is to pay me 20% of the materials produced every year.¡±


    She smiled and said, ¡°You have one night to think about it. Answer me when you get up tomorrow morning.¡±


    After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, she left Xu Mo¡¯s room and went to Su Zikang¡¯s room and then Cheng Sheng¡¯s. She said exactly the same thing but marked different pieces of land.


    She finally went to Shen Zixin¡¯s room and promised the other the land in the middle.


    She shrugged and said, ¡°How can men wield all the power? Do the partners you search for have to be limited to just this handful of people? When you become a lord and own a rich land, you can have any man you want. I promise not to interfere in any decision you make.¡±


    After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, she left.


    She got into the elevator that was repaired this morning and said to the air, ¡°Principal Wang, do you think they will be tempted by power?¡±

 CH 123.1

    After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, she turned his head slightly and asked Xiao Zang, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    Xiao Zang twitched.


    Lin Xinghe still said in human language, ¡°Forget it, you don¡¯t understand human language, but you are really the smartest and smartest among the zombies I have ever seen. I admire you very much.¡±


    Xiao Zang didn¡¯t move.


    Lin Xinghe smiled.


    At this time, there was a lot of discussion in her live broadcast room.


    ¡¾IF I were in their shoes, I would definitely agree! Give me a piece of land! Give me back my freedom! I won¡¯t be attacked by dangerous creatures in the apocalypse! This is simply a great deal from the sky! Only 20% of their income is handed in every year. It¡¯s really no different from not paying! ¡¿


    ¡¾There will be no one who refuses to agree? ¡¿


    ¡¾Well, if I were Shen Zixin, I would definitely agree. She¡¯s the most fucking beautiful in the world, and she is also a lord with supreme power and wealth. This is much more interesting than men! ¡¿


    ¡¾Actually, there is a possibility of them not agreeing. To a conservative like me, if a self-proclaimed queen of zombies said that she wanted to give me a piece of land, I would think it was a trap. ¡¿


    ¡¾But they are not alone. After SL leaves, if they have a good relationship, they can discuss with each other. When they know that everyone got a piece of land, it adds up to almost the entire territory of the central city. If something goes wrong, they can join forces to squeeze out the leader. ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m not curious about whether they agree or not, I¡¯m just curious about the ultimate weapon that Principal Wang prepared for Lin Xinghe¡­ scratching my head, I really want to know! ¡¿


    ¡¾I want to know how Principal Wang is reacting now hahaha. ¡¿


    ¡­


    Principal Wang was unwilling to believe that he, the question-selector and question-setter, did not understand the test question as well as a question-solver.


    He felt that Lin Xinghe was just running her mouth.


    Principal Wang opened his backstage to see the story from the perspective of the protagonist group.


    Shen Zixin knocked on Xu Mo¡¯s door.


    Xu Mo asked her warmly, ¡°It¡¯s quite late, aren¡¯t you going to bed? Are you lonely?¡±


    Shen Zixin shook her head.


    She said, ¡°Do you remember the plan we talked about earlier?¡±


    Xu Mo said, ¡°I remember.¡±


    Shen Zixin replied, ¡°I think we didn¡¯t think through it carefully, and it¡¯s got holes in it. Only when I came here did I realize that their force value is too powerful, and Xie Wuan¡¯s ability to control mutant plants is too heaven-defying. If the explosives detonate, they likely won¡¯t be affected. What about them? Aren¡¯t we in danger? They won¡¯t let us go¡­¡±


    Xu Mo thought for a moment and said, ¡°You¡¯re right. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any rush.¡±


    Shen Zixin nodded lightly and said, ¡°I think we can observe the situation longer.¡±


    Xu Mo said, ¡°Well, okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s expression froze.


    Shen Zixin knocked on the doors of Su Zikang and Cheng Sheng in turn, said the exact same thing, and got unanimous answers.


    Shen Zixin returned to her own room. She leaned against the door, took a deep breath, and said, ¡°¡­Lin Xinghe is right, when I have power and wealth, even if I don¡¯t have a stunning face, I can also get a young and strong man eventually, and I no longer have to worry about offending anyone.¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s expression suddenly turned hideous. Even though he knew that Shen Zixin couldn¡¯t hear him, he still said, ¡°Don¡¯t be carried away by power! Have you forgotten how zombies killed your parents!¡±


    Shen Zixin announced, ¡°Dad, Mom, one day I will kill all the zombies myself in order to avenge your spirits in heaven, but that time is not now¡­¡±


    Her gaze set determinedly and she said, ¡°I will use that group of zombies to become the most powerful woman in the world.¡±


    Principal Wang took a deep breath and comforted himself. Even without the stupid heroine Shen Zixin, he had other powerful male characters. They would not be carried away by power and wealth. They must have promised Shen Zixin this, but in fact they were already thinking about how to use Shen Zixin¡¯s hand to detonate the bomb and bring peace to the end of the world!


    Principal Wang took the lead in turning to Xu Mo¡¯s perspective.


    Xu Mo stood by the window and looked into the distance. He murmured, ¡°Father won¡¯t let me inherit his territory. Now, I will also have my own territory, a territory that is not threatened by zombies and mutant plants. I have no supernatural powers, but I will finally be better than my five younger brothers.¡±


    Principal Wang: ¡°¡­Stupid! No wonder your father doesn¡¯t let you inherit his territory! It¡¯s because you are stupid!¡±


    Principal Wang was so angry that he turned to look at Su Zikang¡¯s perspective.


    Su Zikang had gotten in contact with his friends, and he was already recruiting people for his new territory!


    Principal Wang looked at Cheng Sheng¡¯s perspective.


    Cheng Sheng left the room and took the elevator to the top floor of the Castle Hotel.


    He knocked on the door.


    Lin Xinghe came out.


    Cheng Sheng said, ¡°I agree. You are very discerning.¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°I wish you a successful pursuit of the lady.¡±


    Cheng Sheng said, ¡°Thank you. I like Shen Zixin, but I prefer power and wealth. Before I have those, it doesn¡¯t matter whether I have beauties or not.¡±


    Principal Wang yelled, ¡°Stupid cunt-ass bitches of character designs!¡±


    Principal Wang turned off the videos.


    His heart was beating very fast at this moment. He quickly measured his blood pressure and found that it  was extremely high.


    For a moment, Principal Wang felt that the only way to relieve his anger was to stop all the livestreams, pull Lin Xinghe out, and beat her to death. However, he couldn¡¯t afford to unleash the results of the suspension of the livestreams.


    He took a deep breath.

 CH 123.2

    After a moment, he calmed down.


    He knew that there was no chance of winning in this exam room. Lin Xinghe had led the protagonists by the leash. These idiotic protagonists wouldn¡¯t detonate the city; it  would hurt their personal agendas.


    That was it for this exam.


    If he didn¡¯t kill Lin Xinghe in the next exam room, he didn¡¯t deserve his position as principal!


    Principal Wang closed the livestream tab.


    In the examination room-


    Early the next morning, Lin Xinghe got replies from the protagonists one after another.


    As she expected, all four of the protagonists agreed.


    Lin Xinghe knew that they would agree. If this was during the later stages of the novel, she couldn¡¯t be certain that the protagonist group would agree. But now they were in the early chapters, and the protagonists were all still developing. When a powerful temptation came to them, how could they not agree?


    What¡¯s more, they had nothing to lose.


    Lin Xinghe was not worried that they would know of each other¡¯s land. Their top priority now was to develop and strengthen their own position, and they would have no time to take notice of her agenda. No matter what ultimate weapon Principal Wang had prepared for her, they wouldn¡¯t do something in conflict with their interest.


    There were still two days before the end of the examination room, and Lin Xinghe had a very comfortable life in the apocalypse.


    On the last day, Lin Xinghe hosted another party in the evening.


    Lin Xinghe beckoned Qin Yan.


    She said, ¡°I mentioned it when we first met, I don¡¯t belong to your world, and soon I will return to mine, so please cherish yourself.¡±


    Qin Yan seemed to want to say something, hesitated for a long time, and finally closed her mouth and nodded.


    Lin Xinghe asked her again, ¡°Where¡¯s Wang Mao?¡±


    Qin Yan said, ¡°I broke up with him.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°You will have a better life.¡±


    Qin Yan¡¯s eyes welled up, and she said, ¡°¡­Thank you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Go and enjoy your party, enjoy your life. If fate allows, we will meet again.¡±


    Having spoken a great deal, Lin Xinghe felt a little thirsty. When she was about to pour water, Xiao Zang handed her a glass of water.


    Lin Xinghe said to him in zombie language, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    After a while, she asked him, ¡°Where have you been tonight?¡±


    Xiao Zang had always liked to be by her side to the extent of hiding in her closet when she was sleeping. Now, it was strange that she hadn¡¯t caught a glimpse of him all night.


    Xiao Zang¡¯s throat rumbled, and then he said fiercely, ¡°I don¡¯t need to explain to you where I¡¯m going!¡±


    Lin Xinghe rarely heard Xiao Zang say such long words. In this examination room, he either hummed once or twice, left after speaking a word or two, or even directly implemented her request, which was quite neat.


    Now that he spoke so fluently, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You¡¯ve evolved so fast! You can say that!¡±


    Xiao Zang: ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said to him, ¡°I have had a good time with you these past few days. I will see you in the future. You have to work hard to be a high-level zombie!¡±


    Xiao Zang: ¡°You don¡¯t need to say that!¡±


    Leiting was having a great time playing. The snake, with his slippery green body and snow-white wings, had a tray on top of his head. He kept spinning in circles, competing with a mutant zombie to see who could spin for longer.


    Sensing Lin Xinghe¡¯s sight, he flew over in a flash.


    The several glasses of red wine on the tray were not spilled.


    Lin Xinghe picked up a cup and said, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Xie Wuan also picked up a glass at this time, clinking glasses with Lin Xinghe, and said, ¡°See you in the next exam room.¡±


    In his heart he said again¨C


    ¡°No matter where Old Wang throws you, this illustrious one will find you!¡±


    ¡°Inappropriate.¡±


    ¡°No matter where you are, I will find you.¡±


    Just as Xie Wuan was about to speak, Jiuge came over to discuss the next exam room with Lin Xinghe.


    Jiuge asked her, ¡°What do you think of the next exam room?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°We stand against . The next exam room will only be more difficult, but Principal Wang¡¯s exam questions are essentially the same thing, so don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Jiuge sighed, ¡°I hope it¡¯s an exam room that allows magic. I have the shampoo you gave me in my storage ring, and I just want to wash my hair.¡±


    Jiuge wanted to say something, but suddenly a greatsword flew towards Jiuge.


    Jiuge dodged quickly and glared at Qi Qing, ¡°Your sword almost chopped off my hair!¡±


    Qi Qing retracted his sword and said, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m drunk.¡±


    Before he finished speaking, he walked towards the door of the banquet hall.


    Jiuge hurriedly looked for a place to check his hair.


    Not long after, the clock on the wall reached exactly twelve o¡¯clock AM.


    At the same time, the proctor¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Xinghe¡¯s mind¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Congratulations on passing the test. The test room will be closed within five minutes. No living creatures are allowed to leave the test room. Please abide by the rules of the test room. After five minutes, you will enter the next test room.¡±


    Xie Wuan also heard the proctor¡¯s voice.


    He knew it was time to hurry.


    He said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Lin¡­¡±


    However, his words were cut off. Xiao Zang suddenly filled up Lin Xinghe¡¯s glass with red wine. Lin Xinghe was slightly surprised. Xiao Zang put down the red wine bottle and grunted a few times in his throat, but this time he didn¡¯t speak, leaving Lin Xinghe behind.


    Lin Xinghe looked down.


    The red wine in her glass didn¡¯t look like red wine. It was slightly cloudy.


    She looked at the red wine bottle on the table and found that it was ¡®82 red wine, even though the ¡®82 was 2082.


    Lin Xinghe leaned forward and took a sniff. In addition to the red wine smell, there was a sweet and sour taste in the wine glass.


    She took a sip, tasted it carefully, and was suddenly taken aback.


    It tasted like Yakult mixed with red wine.

 CH 124/1

    Such a taste reminded Lin Xinghe of an NPC¡ª¡ª


    Comrade Xiaopu in the examination room of the City of Machines.


    She was still deeply impressed.


    In the high-end apartment arranged by her company after her debut as the Galaxy Robot, Comrade Xiaopu opened the door of its refrigerator with its newly-bought mechanical hand, took out a bottle of human drink worth 1 Lu coin, and handed it to Lin Xinghe.


    ¡°Here, I, Prescott, never owe humans any favors, go drink it.¡±


    She knew that Comrade Xiaopu did not know the concept of expiration, and she also knew that it was a Yakult it bought with quite the large sum. She couldn¡¯t bear to tell him the truth, so she told a white lie.


    ¡°Oh, Yakult, I like to drink it, but something like Yakult has to be kept first, the longer it is left, the more mellow and fresh the taste will be. ¡®82 Yakult is the best, and this hasn¡¯t aged enough yet. I¡¯ll keep it for a few more years, thank you so much.¡±


    At that time, she said ¡®82 because of good red wine from her previous novel world.


    Now that she has drunk ¡®82 Yakult, Lin Xinghe immediately confirmed that Xiao Zang was Comrade Xiaopu.


    She was amazed and delighted in her heart.


    However, she couldn¡¯t say anything about it in front of the livestream, otherwise Xiao Zang might die.


    She put down the red wine glass as if nothing happened and muttered, ¡°Where did the red wine come from, it tastes strange¡­¡± As she said that, she searched for the figure of Xiao Zang in the banquet hall.


    The exam room would close in five minutes.


    She didn¡¯t have much time left.


    Soon, she saw Xiao Zang at the door of the banquet hall.


    She strode over in three steps.


    When approaching Xiao Zang, she stopped.


    She remembered that at the end of the City of Machines examination room, Comrade Xiaopu ran in front of her and said angrily, ¡°You lied to me, you destroyed the city of machines, and I was your accomplice. Human beings are indeed cunning and sly, and you have betrayed my trust!¡±


    Despite this, he still obeyed the agreement and gave her the corpse of the classmate he stored for her.


    ¡°I won¡¯t help you store it! You don¡¯t need to return the ten Lu coins you owe me for storing it! Then¡­bye!¡±


    From the point of view of Comrade Xiaopu, she was indeed a villain.


    Different points of view held different truths.


    Lin Xinghe never thought that she would meet Comrade Xiaopu again in another examination room.


    Her appearance, her name, and her voice were exactly the same as in the City of Machines examination room. Comrade Xiaopu must have recognized her at first sight.


    She reacted in hindsight.


    So when she first met Xiao Zang, he showed such a dull expression because he recognized her.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know what to say to the current Comrade Xiaopu.


    In the last exam room, she was a big villain to Comrade Xiaopu, but in this exam room, they became friends. In this exam room, without Xiao Zang, she may not have been able to live so easily.


    And in front of so many viewers in the livestream, it was neither the time nor the place to speak.


    But no matter what, Lin Xinghe was sincerely happy for Comrade Xiaopu.


    He was no longer cannon fodder. He was awakened, had his own thoughts and soul. He became clever like the old mermaid¡ªescaping the villain school¡¯s detection and became a member of all the lifeforms of various novel worlds.


    Lin Xinghe realized that she didn¡¯t need to chase after him.


    The parting in this exam room was truly the last time they would meet.


    She raised a smile and said in zombie language to Xiao Zang¡¯s back, ¡°¡®82 red wine is really delicious, thank you.¡±


    Xiao Zang did not look back.


    He snorted and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t taste good at all.¡±


    The tone of his voice was firm, but when he hummed it, his tone changed with an imperceptible smile.


    Xiao Zang still didn¡¯t look back and directly jumped out of the window not far away. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zang jumped all the way to the top floor along the outer wall of the hotel.


    He sat on the spire of the castle.


    He used to be just a refrigerator.


    He waited in frustration in the rubbish heap for his death to come.


    A human girl descended from the sky, appeared in his dark life, patted her chest and told him with a smile, ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened to you, but you¡¯re still breathing. You shouldn¡¯t give up, people, oh no, no matter what species, as long as you haven¡¯t died, you can fight again. If you don¡¯t fight, how do you know that you can¡¯t turn things around? Few win their first fight, and you don¡¯t know how much effort is behind those who succeed in one attempt! If you fail, try again! Learn from it! Learn the lesson again! As long as you don¡¯t die, continue! No matter how bad the situation is, it can¡¯t be worse than staying in such a garbage place and waiting to die, can it?¡±


    The human girl added, ¡°Comrade Fridge! Brother! Don¡¯t be discouraged! Look, you have met me now! Although we are different races and we stand on opposing sides, it was fate for us to meet here today! It¡¯s called destiny! And you should not die! Brother! Stand up! Let¡¯s fight against fate! We can¡¯t bow to fate!¡±

 CH 124.2

    He still remembered when she said this, standing in a dark alley full of garbage, there seemed to be a light on her body, shining into his rusty and old parts.


    He watched her sneak into the wealthy area alone, debut, and break into the palace of City Lord Andrew, becoming Andrew¡¯s confidant.


    In such a short time, she created so many miracles.


    At first there was only a single beam on her, but later, she claimed the spotlight.


    Others were looking up to her.


    He was also looking up to her.


    Later, he knew the truth.


    She had been lying to him.


    Her ultimate goal was nothing but to destroy the city of machinery. He was just a pawn on her chessboard.


    He was just an ordinary mechanical refrigerator, but for the first time, he knew the ambivalence  of human emotions, anger, surprise, grievance, and a trace of inexplicable sadness.


    He originally wanted to destroy that filthy human corpse.


    But in the end, he didn¡¯t destroy it.


    Prescott was a refrigerator that never broke its promise! It promised Lin Xinghe, so he would keep his promise! Even if he died, he would hand the human body to her inn person and tell her not to let him see her next time, or he would kill her with his own hands! However, when he actually saw her, he was speechless.


    Before he died, he had one thing on his mind.


    She said that this world was full of wonders, and he could go out and explore the rest of the world, see some sights he couldn¡¯t see in the City of Machines.


    She said that she was not a human from the Tianhui Continent, but a human from the Red Continent.


    He wanted to go to the Red Continent to see what kind of place and what kind of soil would breed people like her, who spun lies like sugar but couldn¡¯t be hated.


    When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer a refrigerator, but a boy of fifteen or sixteen.


    He had the complete memory of the young man, which was obviously his own memory, but it wasn¡¯t his. He was himself, and yet he was not himself.


    He would always think of a girl every now and then.


    The girl said, ¡°There are all kinds of wonders in this world, so don¡¯t be bound by the box you see. When you replace your parts, maybe you can go out and explore the rest of the world. See some sights you can¡¯t see in the City of Machines.¡±


    He tried to find more memories related to the girl, quietly trying to remember them bit by bit, and it was also during this process that he awakened.


    He knew he was a supporting character in a high-school setting novel.


    Later, he experienced several novel worlds, during which he also met people from different worlds. He knew that people from different worlds were also different. Some were from the same world as Lin Xinghe, while others were visitors. As a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager who was addicted to online games, he could precisely identify those who seemed like they were just on ¡°vacation.¡±


    The two were also very different.


    The former were always restless and alert to everything around them; the latter acted like they were on vacation, like lighthearted bystanders.


    He carefully concealed his awakened identity and played the role the devil gave him.


    He knew the consequences of being identified. The devil would command his loyal apostles to harvest the lives of the awakened, such as Andrew and the female villain he met in his third novel world.


    There were students from the villain school in front of the castle hotel.


    The examination room was over, and the space-time rift opened.


    The student entered it and disappeared from the sight of Xiao Zang.


    He had also seen such rifts in the previous world, appearing in thin air and disappearing similarly.


    He knew that this was the gate that connected to the world of devils, and that only the demon¡¯s apostles were qualified to enter. Its appearance meant the world was coming to an end.


    Lin Xinghe was leaving.


    He raised his neck and looked at the blue sky.


    He knew that in the near future, when he opened his eyes again, it would be a new life.


    His hand stroked his trouser pocket.


    Inside was the Yakult he brought from the supermarket.


    He couldn¡¯t take it out.


    The demon was watching him quietly.


    It wasn¡¯t the bottle he gave Lin Xinghe to drink.


    The bottle he stole from the human survival base was fresh.


    This bottle of Yakult in the supermarket had long expired.


    He was no longer a refrigerator who knew nothing of expiry dates.


    When he was a normal person, he knew that expired Yakult could not be drunk.


    But when he was a zombie, he drank a bottle of Yakult that had been expired for many, many years. The printing on the bottle had faded, and the liquid was a cloudy blue-gray.


    He had no sense of taste and did not know whether it was good or not.


    The wind stopped.


    The clouds in the sky also stopped fluttering.


    This world was coming to an end.


    Lin Xinghe was still the same. She knew how to fool people.


    He walked 2,568 kilometers with her.


    Her crafty appearance was not cute at all.


    Hmph!

 CH 125.1

    Before Lin Xinghe entered the next exam room, she made preparations just like she did for the previous exam room.


    The next exam room could only be more difficult than this one.


    It was very likely that, like this exam room, magical abilities and equipment would be banned.


    All in all, there was nothing wrong with a little more preparation.


    The dazzling light faded, and what appeared before Lin Xinghe was the boundless darkness.


    She didn¡¯t take out the headlight from her backpack right away.


    For her,the initial touchdown was the most dangerous. Because she didn¡¯t know anything about the new exam room and the prompt hadn¡¯t popped up from her bracelet yet, she didn¡¯t know anything about her surroundings. It was dark and there was no movement at all.


    The quieter a place, the more dangerous it was. After all, she didn¡¯t know what kinds of danger were around her.


    At the same time, it was also out of speculation about the character of Principal Wang.


    If Principal Wang was shameless, he could have landed her next to a hungry beast at the beginning of the exam. If she moved or created light, the beast would swallow her in one gulp.


    In the last apocalypse examination room, Principal Wang gave her an instant death spawnpoint.


    Who knew if this exam room would also have an instant death spawn?


    Caution was a good thing.


    Lin Xinghe held her breath. The surroundings were so dark that she couldn¡¯t see clearly. She could only perceive her surroundings by smell and hearing.


    There were no indications of creatures breathing around her, nor were there any strange smells. It was eerily quiet.


    Lin Xinghe tentatively took a step forward.


    Nothing happened.


    She tried to wave her hand in the darkness again, and there was still nothing. No dangerous creatures jumped out of the darkness.


    She took another breath, this time making a slight noise.


    The surroundings were still very quiet. Nothing came out to attack her, and her noises carried without echoes.


    She determined that she was likely in a confined space.


    At this moment, Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s voice sounded from her portable space.


    ¡°¡­ Mommy?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    Her being able to hear Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s voice meant that there was personal spaces weren¡¯t prohibited this time around, which could also mean that general magic abilities were all allowed.


    After she pondered for a while, she probed into the space with her consciousness.


    The audience was also surprised.


    ¡¾There is no ban on carry-on space? ¡¿


    ¡¾Principal Wang has changed his temper? ¡¿


    ¡¾Could it be that from the last exam room, he knew that it was useless to fight against Lin Xinghe, and he simply gave up on this exam room? ¡¿


    ¡¾I would like to know what kind of examination room is this? It¡¯s been a while since it started, and the screen is still black¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I went around the livestreams of other candidates, and they were also black. ¡¿


    ¡¾Report! Just came back from Xie Wuan¡¯s livestream! Xie Wuan has entered his personal space and is admiring his figurines! ¡¿


    ¡¾Woooooo, I miss Xiao Xue Ji so much! Daughter! Mommy missed you! ¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t see Xiao Xue Ji for a whole exam room, and she missed her very much. As soon as she heard Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s voice, she moved into her personal space.


    The last time she was banned from her personal space in the City of Machines, Xiao Xue Ji ate cat food for a few days. This time, it was nine whole days¡­


    Although she had already told Xiao Xue Ji where there was food in her personal space, she was still a little worried.


    Xiao Xue Ji had a soft spot for the cat food that Leiting gifted. She always carried a handful of cat food as snacks in her pocket that she wouldn¡¯t stop eating even if Lin Xinghe bribed her with candies and cookies.


    Lin Xinghe only used half of her consciousness to enter the personal space, while the other half paid attention to the situation around her.


    As soon as Lin Xingheentered, Xiao Xue Ji felt it.


    She raised her head and shouted, ¡°Mommy, mommy, mommy¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s heart melted, and she asked the other, ¡°Have you eaten well?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji said, ¡°Yes!¡±


    She had been lying on a fluffy blanket just now, and as soon as Lin Xinghe spoke, she crawled up, closed the book on the ground, pointed to the right, and said, ¡°Mommy, look, I had good meals. I obediently ate meals, and obediently drank water, didn¡¯t eat snacks, and didn¡¯t eat cat food!¡±


    On the right were seven or eight empty boxes of self-heating small hot pots, several tubes of nutrient solutions, stamina potions, mineral water bottles, and a black garbage bag. The empty boxes were placed side by side, and the transparent tubes were also put into the empty boxes, each stacked neatly. The black garbage bag bulged with unknown contents, and it was tied tightly.


    On the other side was a pile of dozens of books.


    After identifying them carefully, she realized that some of them were taken from the mermaid library as well as the library of the Great Emperor Fengdu when she and Xie Wuan went to the underworld.


    She didn¡¯t have time to read those books after she brought them out. She put them all in a storage box in her portable space. Xiao Xue Ji took them out unexpectedly, and from the current situation, she seemed to have read them all.

 CH 125.2

    She asked, ¡°Have you been reading for nine days?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    The automatic identification feature of Jiuge¡¯s storage ring couldn¡¯t even identify the words, but Xiao Xue Ji actually¡­ could understand it?


    Lin Xinghe suppressed her surprise and did not probe further.


    The origin of Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s identity was a mystery.


    Her initial guess was that she was an unawakened cardboard stand-in who followed her to the villain school through a bug.


    Now, this was live and everyone could see it.


    The audience knew where Lin Xinghebrought the books from. If Xiao Xue Ji could understand the books, smarter individuals might start to get suspicious of Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s identity.


    She smiled calmly and said, ¡°You must be very bored, so you have turned over everything you can in the room¡­¡± Before Xiao Xue Ji could speak, she quickly continued, ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. Just be patient for a while, I¡¯ll take you out after I confirm that the surrounding environment is safe, okay?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, ¡°Okay, Mommy.¡±


    Lin Xinghe left the portable space and returned to the examination room.


    Her surroundings were still pitch black, and there was no movement at all.


    It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe suddenly heard Xie Wuan¡¯s internal dialogue.


    ¡°Strange, what kind of material is this wall, this illustrious one can¡¯t burn it down?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was overjoyed that she could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s voice because it proved that Xie Wuan was not far from her . She immediately turned on her headlamp, and the surrounding darkness was immediately dispelled.


    Lin Xinghe saw clearly the environment she was staying in. It was a boxy room with no windows and no exits.


    The room was empty, and the ceiling and floor were the same silvery-white color as the four walls.


    Lin Xinghe walked to the wall and knocked on the wall. It made a dull sound.


    She pondered a little and took out her phone.


    In this exam room, there was no ban on portable space, so the communication of mobile devices must be banned.


    Just as she turned on her phone, she realized that there was already a lot of news from her group of four.


    Fu Zhou: Anyone?


    Fu Zhou: Jiuge? Lin Xinghe?


    Jiuge: I¡¯m here, where are you?


    Fu Zhou: I don¡¯t know, there are walls all around, and my talismans can¡¯t destroy it.


    Jiuge: Me too, it¡¯s all walls.


    Fu Zhou: The exam questions haven¡¯t come out yet. It¡¯s weird, they usually come out earlier¡­


    Fu Zhou: Lin Xinghe, are you there?


    Upon seeing this, Lin Xinghe initiated a multi-person video call within the groupchat.


    Xie Wuan was the first to join.


    Shortly after, Jiuge and Fu Zhou followed.


    Lin Xinghe asked about everyone¡¯s situation and found that everyone was in the same closed room with special, unbreakable walls.


    Lin Xinghe went to check on the other candidates.


    In the first competitive examination room, she had added the contact info of a group of classmates, which turned out to be most of the survivors.


    She asked the people who were still alive to speak up.


    She calculated that there were 18 people in the large group of classmates. Including their four-person team, Qi Qing, and the two in Xie Wuan¡¯s infinite space, there were exactly 25 people.


    After all, the previous competitive exam had fifty to twenty-five victors.


    She asked about their situation, and it was exactly the same. Presumably, Qi Qing¡¯s situation was similar too.


    That was to say, at the moment the twenty-five candidates, except for the two who were staying in Xie Wuan¡¯s space, were all in a closed room. According to Xie Wuan¡¯s internal dialogue, it was very likely that they were all in the same place and separated by rows of walls.


    At this moment, the dark room suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light.


    At the same time, fine pinholes appeared on the ceiling, the floor, and the four walls, followed by a dense spray of cold water. The water smelled of disinfectant.


    In Lin Xinghe¡¯s portable space, there was a magic umbrella that blocked the rain. She had traded it for an alpine rimerose in that exam room.


    As soon as she opened the magic umbrella, it immediately extended to form a sealed chrysalis shell that blocked the water in all directions.


    Lin Xinghe sat inside and looked at her phone.


    Everyone else was safe and sound, Xie Wuan, well, needless to say, Jiuge had a hair protection cover, and Fu Zhou also had a talisman set up next to him.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°The water is non-toxic.¡±


    Fu Zhou also said, ¡°Yes, there is no poison, that is, it is ordinary disinfectant diluted with ordinary water, and it will take long periods of exposure for it to even damage the skin.¡±


    Jiuge looked sad. Seeing Lin Xinghe¡¯s magic umbrella prop, he immediately went to the plane store to place an order and bought one, covering his hair with it.


    After about five or six minutes, the water stopped.


    Lin Xinghe was a little sensitive to temperature and asked, ¡°Do you feel the temperature has risen?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°The room temperature is thirty-five.¡±


    Jiuge: ¡°Thirty-six.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°¡­What kind of examination room is this?¡±


    Lin Xinghe commented, ¡°The temperature seems to be still rising. Although it is hot, it is acceptable¡­ Do you feel like you are in a sauna?¡±


    Lin Xinghe went to the general groupchat to take a look.


    Sure enough, she wasn¡¯t the only one who felt this way.


    After almost twenty minutes, the heat stopped.


    Immediately afterwards, white mist sprayed out in all directions.


    Lin Xinghe hid in her magic umbrella.


    A classmate in the group was saying, ¡°It smells like mint?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it smells like mint.¡±


    It was also at this time that the exam prompt finally popped up on the bracelet¡ª¡ª


    Recapture the princess.

 CH 126.1

    ¡­Recapture the princess?


    ¡­Who was the princess? Where was the princess?


    Almost all candidates thought the same questions when they saw the exam prompt.


    The bigger question was-


    What kind of exam room was this?


    However, the candidates didn¡¯t have much time. Shortly after the test questions came out, a black hole appeared in all the closed rooms. In the blink of an eye, a strong suction force was generated.


    Many people did not react in time and were directly sucked into the black hole.


    Lin Xinghe reacted quickly, and quickly used a suction cup magic to stick herself to the wall.


    The magic prop umbrella was in danger under the action of suction.


    Fu Zhou¡¯s voice came from the video call, ¡°What is this! My talisman lasted less than ten seconds!¡±


    Jiuge also said, ¡°No, I will be bald if I resist, I will give up.¡±


    Before Jiuge¡¯s voice fell, Xie Wuan¡¯s voice sounded almost at the same time, ¡°Lin Xinghe, speak up.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Ah? What should I say?¡±


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°Speak again.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s magic prop umbrella had been completely destroyed by the powerful suction. She didn¡¯t care about the video call and hurriedly threw the phone into the portable space while holding the suction cup tightly.


    The phone was thrown into the portable space, and she couldn¡¯t hear any sound.


    The suction of the black hole was too strong, Lin Xinghe felt that her facial features were about to be deformed, and the adhesion of the suction cup was gradually disappearing.


    Just when she thought she couldn¡¯t hold on, she heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice coming from far and near from the black hole.


    ¡°Lin Xinghe?¡±


    Lin Xinghe immediately called out, ¡°I¡¯m here!¡±


    A white shadow jumped out of the black hole against the strong wind and pinched his fingers. A faint light lit up, and a thin film sealed the entrance of the black hole.


    The room instantly returned to a calm state once again.


    Lin Xinghe got off the suction cup, and while brushing back her hair, looked at the mouth of the black hole and said, ¡°Thank you, Xianjun. If you didn¡¯t come in time, I would have been sucked into the black hole¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan said: ¡°It¡¯s weird here. My barrier won¡¯t last long. Come enter my portable space.¡±


    Xie Wuan continued, ¡°Take¡­my hand.¡±


    Lin Xinghe immediately held Xie Wuan¡¯s hand. She could feel Xie Wuan trembling slightly. He  pretended to be calm and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk after we enter my space.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s space was different from Lin Xinghe¡¯s.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s space could only be entered with her consciousness, but Xie Wuan¡¯s space could hold their actual bodies.


    In the blink of an eye, they found themselves transported to a vast space.


    The surrounding was a familiar arrangement¡ªthe small square was densely packed with Xie Wuan¡¯s figurines.


    In other words, all the processed corpses that Xie Wuan had brought back from various examination rooms.


    And farther away from the figurines, there were two rookie bosses who were tied up.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t pay attention to the two bosses. All her attention was on Xie Wuan¡¯s figurines.


    Although she said that she had come in once before, but that time her attention was all on Xiao Xue Ji, and out of politeness, she only glanced briefly at the figurines.


    But this time, something was different.


    At that time, she had not walked across the Mengpo Bridge and did not recall any memories of the novel world.


    But this time, the figures in front of her felt extremely familiar¡­


    She stared blankly.


    The one closest to her was a giant spider, with fangs bared and claws sharpened, ugly and disgusting.


    A picture suddenly appeared in her mind.


    Xie Wuan descended from the sky and pointed his sharp sword at the giant spider.


    ¡°Why were you born so ugly! Actually, for a spider, you aren¡¯t so bad looking. Do you know who this illustrious one is? This illustrious one will make you into a figurine!¡±


    The giant spider wanted to attack Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Do you think this illustrious one will lose to you? If 90% of the spiritual power of this illustrious one was not supporting an illusion, you would have lost long ago¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan sighed, ¡°You can¡¯t teach the ignorant. Let¡¯s end this exam room, lest you be stupidly killed by other candidates¡­¡±


    Another giant spider ran out from the side, and the spider silk it shot pierced through her body.


    Before she died, she could only hear Xie Wuan muttering, ¡°Next time, be someone who can talk. How can someone who is so eloquent become a spider?¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at another figure.


    It was a tall and thin man who was made into a figurine by Xie Wuan for an unknown reason. It was obviously a lifeless corpse, but it looked peaceful, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep,


    A new scene appeared in Lin Xinghe¡¯s mind.


    Xie Wuan held a fan in his hand and lifted the thin man¡¯s jaw.


    He stared at the man intently.

 CH 126.2

    ¡°¡­Really became human.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­Do you know who I am?¡±


    ¡°¡­I¡¯m going to make you a figurine.¡±


    ¡°¡­Stupid, can¡¯t you wake up after being leashed by Old Wang for so long?¡±


    ¡°¡­If you don¡¯t wake up again, our bet will be considered your loss.¡±


    ¡°¡­Forget it, this illustrious one will wait for you for another five years.¡±


    ¡°¡­You are not the protagonist, so you will die sooner or later. It is better to die sooner rather than later. This illustrious one will end this world for you.¡±


    Someone who appeared out of nowhere pierced the thin man¡¯s heart with a knife.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the other figures again.


    This time, it was a malnourished little girl, about seven or eight years old, wearing a small red cloak with a cute bear hairpin.


    The familiar scene reappeared in her mind.


    Still Xie Wuan.


    He showed up in the mall with the little girl in rags, picked a little red cape for her, and put a bear hairpin on her.


    He looked down at the little girl.


    ¡°¡­If you didn¡¯t have your memory erased, how would you be stuck here?¡±


    ¡°¡­ Old Wang is really targeting you. No wonder he is afraid of you. If you wake up, he should fear you.¡±


    ¡°¡­You woke up a little bit last year, but unfortunately, Old Wang was very scared of you and did everything he could to wipe your memory. Wake up quickly, and when Old Wang can¡¯t suppress it, you will be able to come find me¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­This illustrious will wait for you for another five years at most, or maybe ten years.¡±


    ¡°¡­Oh, it¡¯s not impossible that I¡¯ll wait for twenty years.¡±


    ¡°¡­This illustrious will do what it takes. I have never forgotten the bet between you and me.¡±


    ¡°¡­I¡¯m waiting for you to make me a figurine.¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, I will let you come to my portable space to see. I already have twenty-nine of your puppets, and sixteen other puppets to throw Old Wang off my track. Those aren¡¯t really you, they¡¯re just sleeping husks.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to fighting with you¡­¡±


    ¡°When the time comes, only one of us will leave alive.¡±


    ¡°This illustrious one will never show mercy to you.¡±


    ¡°¡­Oh, it¡¯s hard to say.¡±


    ¡°¡­Well, let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±


    Lin Xinghe saw the cause of the little girl¡¯s death. After walking out of the mall, a car came out of nowhere and hit the little girl.


    ¡°Lin Xinghe.¡±


    Suddenly, Xie Wuan shouted.


    Lin Xinghe came back to her senses, opened her eyes wide, and stared at Xie Wuan in a daze.


    Xie Wuan let go of her hand and said, ¡°Why are you in a daze?¡±


    His heart was saying-


    ¡°She kept looking at those puppets, did she remember?¡±


    Lin Xinghe opened her mouth.


    However, at this time, Xie Wuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he said, ¡°The barrier outside has broken. I just tested it, and we will also be sucked away through my space, but we can last for a while¡­¡±


    He reached out and drew a picture in the air with magic.


    ¡°I found out when I was looking for you. There are such confinement cells on both sides, a pipe in the middle, and all the black holes are connected to this pipe¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t think about anything else anymore and asked, ¡°What¡¯s at the end of the pipeline?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said suddenly, ¡°By the way, the video call is still open!¡±


    She took out her phone from her space.


    Sure enough, their team¡¯s video call was still open.


    Fu Zhou¡¯s phone fell to the ground.


    Lin Xinghe shouted, ¡°Fu Zhou?¡±


    After a while, a hand picked up the phone. Qi Qing¡¯s face appeared on the screen.


    Qi Qing was silent for three seconds and flipped the streaming camera.


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan both saw the current situation outside the pipeline.


    It was a rather large glass room about ten meters high.


    There was a steel structure roof outside the glass house. A lot of small snacks and buckets were in the room, as well as tables, chairs, beds, and even a few dilapidated scooters. There was even a row of clotheshangers.


    The outside of the glass room was empty, and it seemed like the glass was only a small enclosure within a larger room.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Is this a giant¡¯s house?¡±


    At this time, Fu Zhou retrieved his mobile phone.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    In the camera, Qi Qing pulled out his sword and slashed at the glass.


    The glass didn¡¯t crack at all.


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°I¡¯ve tried talismans, but lightning, water and fire don¡¯t work.¡±


    Jiuge also came over and said, ¡°My fire-type ability doesn¡¯t work either.¡±


    At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the glass room. The floor shook, and a huge body appeared outside the glass room.


    ¡­It was a ten-meter-tall blue cat.


    It stretched out its paws, patted the glass house, and said, ¡°They¡¯re pretty clean after a bath. Snowball has done a good job. The feral people picked up this time are all good looking and in good condition. They should fetch a high price¡­¡±

 CH 127.1

    The audience also saw this huge blue cat.


    ¡¾Fuck! What a big cat! ¡¿


    ¡¾Is this the big cat kingdom? ¡¿


    ¡¾What kind of bad intentions can a kitten have! Hit it! ¡¿


    ¡¾Awwwww cute! I want to pet such a huge cat too! I want to sleep on it! ¡¿


    ¡¾Have you heard what the blue cat said? It said feral! So is this a world where people and cats are swapped? ¡¿


    ¡­


    Lin Xinghe also liked animals like cats.


    Soft little paw pads, round eyes, and slick, downy fur made her heart instantly soften.


    On the condition that the kitty wasn¡¯t out for blood and couldn¡¯t do much to you..


    And a cat, twice, or maybe even four or five times as tall as a person, was in front of her.


    A stretch of its claws could skewer people to death.


    It was no longer a kitten. It was scarier than tigers and lions.


    At this time, the blue cat outside the glass room stretched out its front paws and showed its sharp claws. Somehow, a hole appeared in the glass room, just enough to accommodate its paws.


    It reached in, trying to hook the person sitting in the chair.


    The glass room was full of students.


    The one in the chair was a male student from the fantasy department. When he saw its nails approaching, he immediately turned around and ran away.


    The cat paw followed him.


    The cat¡¯s claws moved very quickly, and within three seconds, it stretched out its nails again, trying to hook the person up. And this time, it seemed to have learned to be smart, and its other paw also crept into the glass room, blocking the way of the male classmate.


    The male classmate summoned his magic broom and flew around at a low altitude around the claws, then rushed into the crowd.


    The jellies of the blue cat were black.


    Each bean looked like an enormous boulder.


    It didn¡¯t catch anyone, and it slammed its claws to the ground, causing the floor to tremble and the wind to blow. It seemed to be a little irritated, the slams were no less than small earthquakes. Several students fell to the ground from the tremors.


    The blue cat¡¯s paw immediately moved to the fallen classmate.


    It was extremely fast. As soon as its nails stretched, it immediately hooked the student¡¯s waist. As soon as the nails were retracted, they clamped his head between the claws and quickly retracted them.


    It was so powerful that the student who was caught couldn¡¯t move at all, and could only shout, ¡°Save me!¡±


    A classmate shouted, ¡°Are you stupid? Don¡¯t you know ice magic! Freeze it!¡±


    The student who was caught reacted and immediately used his magic.


    However, it didn¡¯t affect the blue cat¡¯s actions at all.


    The classmates at the bottom offered their help one after another. Those who could wield fire threw fireballs. Those who could wield electricity generated electricity, those who could wield water threw water columns. All these magic abilities did nothing but make the cat sneeze.


    The classmate who knew ice magic had been taken out of the glass room at this moment.


    The blue cat tilted his head, his claws hooked on his clothes. The cat¡¯s face leaned forward, and its black nose sniffed and sniffed. In the eyes of the classmate, there were two large black holes in front of him, bigger than his head. The cat¡¯s nose was wet, and his hair and clothes became wet when he was sniffed that violently.


    The blue cat said, ¡°It¡¯s really clean¡­¡±


    The next moment, the blue cat¡¯s claws nimbly took off the classmate¡¯s pants and sighed, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that he is a male. Recently, mothers are more popular in the market, and they sell for more than double the price.¡±


    It looked down at the glass room, counted, and said, ¡°Everyone looks alike, and you really can¡¯t tell the difference between male and female without looking at the genitals. I¡¯ll get Xueqiu to come identify them later¡­¡±


    Before the words fell, the door was pushed open.


    A fat orange cat walked in with its tail wagging.


    It walked in front of the blue cat, arched its body, stretched hard, and said, ¡°Boss, are you calling me?¡±


    The blue cat said, ¡°Where did you pick up these ferals?¡±


    The orange cat glanced at the feral person in the glass room and was a little surprised.


    Yesterday the boss said that the interstellar chickens, interstellar dogs, interstellar ducks, interstellar goose, interstellar snakes, and some bugs recently introduced from other planets were too expensive, especially the domesticated pets, which were extremely expensive. Those had to be tended to so carefully, and the customers would try to bargain for lower prices. Instead, his boss told him to go outside and pick up some feral humans.


    In recent years, it had become fashionable for everyone to raise humans, and their price was also increasing year by year.


    But Xueqiu was a lazy cat. If he had the choice, he would never work. He originally planned to catch a feral human and come back for business in a few days, but he did not expect that there would be so many feral humans in the store after his day-long nap.


    The orange cat stretched again without changing his face and said, ¡°I picked it up from the cat climbing frame in the park. Many feral humans like to live in groups in winter to keep warm.¡±


    The blue cat threw the man towards the orange cat¡¯s head.


    The orange cat shook his head, and the student almost fell to the ground. He stretched out his paws and caught the person when it fell to the ground, lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite the other¡¯s clothes.

 CH 127.2

    The blue cat scolded, ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s all money. People are very fragile! If you break, you need money for surgery! Sometimes, they randomly get sick, which is also expensive! Figure out which ones are male and which ones are female. For the males, just leave them be. For the females, put on a little cute skirt for them. I will promote them on our website later. If we spray enough mint, maybe some silly male cat will fall in love with them.


    The blue cat licked his paws as he spoke and said, ¡°Except for kittens who don¡¯t know how to enjoy themselves, no cat can refuse the smell of mint.¡±


    As if thinking of something, the blue cat said again, ¡°Female humans don¡¯t need to spray mint. We don¡¯t need catnip to get a good price for them¡­¡±


    The black pupils in the yellow eyes turned into slits.


    ¡°When we sell them for a good price, Xueqiu, I¡¯ll give you a raise, and you can eat fish chips all you want.¡±


    When the orange cat received the promise of food, he immediately responded in high spirits.


    The blue cat wagged his tail happily and left.


    As soon as the blue cat left, the orange cat immediately let go of the person in his mouth and yawned lazily. It picked up the person with its two paws, stuck out its tongue and licked it, then showed a disgusted expression and muttered. He said, ¡°People taste bad¡­¡±


    Saying that, he put the person back into the glass room.


    He squatted outside the glass room and began to groom itself slowly without scanning the people in the glass room.


    The ice magic classmate was originally a young man with thick hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite handsome really. Jiuge was in the same class as him, and he once envied the volume of that classmate¡¯s hair. However, now he was licked by the orange cat. As we all know, cats have barbs on their tongues. Now that he was licked on the head by a ten-meter-tall orange cat, most of his hair was stripped away.


    He had too much hair slashed all at once, and the pain made his complexion change. At this moment, he magicked out ice cubes and to cool his bald, hot head.


    He thundered, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a big cat! Their nostrils are bigger than a watermelon! There¡¯s no use in attacking them! What kind of perverted exam room was arranged by the school?¡±


    Jiuge was scared, even more scared than he was in the last examination room. He immediately put the hardest armor on his head, then turned on his mobile phone, glanced at Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe in the video, and said solemnly, ¡°Brother Xie, please let me enter your portable space. Name any price.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°¡­Can you bring me?¡±


    He asked Qi Qing next to him, ¡°Are you coming?¡±


    Qi Qing didn¡¯t say a word, but slashed at the glass again with his sword.


    The glass remained scratch-free.


    After a while, Qi Qing silently joined the group chat of the four-person team.


    Other students were also begging Lin Xinghe to help them.


    Classmate A: Boss, take us along!


    Classmate B: I promise to cooperate! I won¡¯t ask for a promotion, just save my life! I just want to get out of this damn exam room safely!


    Classmate C: Me too!


    Classmate Ding: I can also cooperate! Please take me with you!


    ¡­


    From her previous livestreams and exam experiences, everyone was already accustomed to Lin Xinghe¡¯s exam style. They all trusted Lin Xinghe from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to follow her.


    People expressed their opinions in the groupchat.


    What was happening outside the glass room, Lin Xinghe could also see clearly through Fu Zhou¡¯s mobile phone lens.


    The conversation between the two cats also fell into Lin Xinghe¡¯s ears.


    She said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic, hold on. It¡¯s clear that we are in an exam room where the social status of humans and cats have been reversed. Principal Wang obviously didn¡¯t ban our magic because it wouldn¡¯t make a difference¡­.¡±


    ¡°¡­Now, our lives aren¡¯t in danger. Don¡¯t worry for now. The two cats outside rely on us to make money. Just now, the blue cat said that we are going to be a part of the advertisement. Before the advertisement, we still have time to figure out what is required to pass this exam.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought quickly.


    Fu Zhou asked her, ¡°Where¡¯s Xiao Xue Ji? Isn¡¯t Xiao Xue Ji able to transform into all creatures?¡±


    However, Lin Xinghe shook her head and said, ¡°You know this, and Principal Wang also knows this. This is not a regular exam room. This kind of novel world generally has its own set of settings and a new world view. Principal Wang would definitely not have overlooked the fact that Xiao Xue Ji can transform into all creatures¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°I remember that some of you can create illusions. Try making a garden cat about the size of the orange cat¡­¡±


    A classmate immediately responded.


    As soon as the illusion appeared, the orange cat¡¯s eyes widened.


    It hissed at the phantom immediately.


    In less than a minute, two fierce ocelots rushed into the house.


    The orange cat yelled, ¡°There is an alien cat invasion!¡±


    The vision disappeared long before the movement sounded.


    The two ocelots circled around the glass room and asked the orange cat, ¡°Did you call the police?¡±


    The orange cat said, ¡°I saw an alien cat!¡±


    Ocelot: ¡°Where?¡±


    The orange cat scratched its head: ¡°It was still here just now¡­¡±


    The ocelot said, ¡°There is none of their scent here. You¡¯ve probably been smoking too much catnip. Don¡¯t call the police falsely next time. But when you see an alien cat, you must notify us as soon as possible. The queen ordered it. All the cats who invade our Superior planet should be eliminated without exception.¡±

 CH 128.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 128.1


    Not long after, the two ocelots were seen off by the orange cat.


    The students at the scene saw it clearly.


    Not long after the orange cat hissed, two ocelots rushed in, as if the police station were next door. And looking at the posture of the two ocelots, if they had sent out a real cat and not an illusion, it probably would have been killed by this time.


    All the candidates in the glass room shared a look.


    With Lin Xinghe''s timely reminder, the classmate who performed the illusion just now took back the illusion before the ocelots rushed in. However, despite this, the orange cat arched his body with a hiss, causing her to suffer a part of the illusion backlash.


    When an illusion was damaged, its caster would also suffer a certain backlash.


    She fell to the ground, her face pale. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and cold sweat kept coming out of her body.


    The orange cat only hissed, which had already damaged her illusion and caused harm to her body.


    She was terrified to the bottom of her heart.


    The orange cat didn¡¯t seem to have any offensive power to cause such damage to her. If Lin Xinghe had not reminded her in time, when the two ocelots rushed in, her life might have ended here.


    "It''s horrible," she murmured.


    A classmate next to her said, "Xiaoqing''s illusion skills are among the best in our department. If it can cause damage to her, this orange cat is at least the level of a big boss."


    When the people around him heard this, they were a little flustered.


    The examination room had just started. Whether it was the blue cat at the beginning or the orange cat that they met later, they all seemed to be at the level of a big boss, not to mention the two ocelots that were obviously stronger in combat.


    ... There were big boss-level NPCs everywhere, and these weren¡¯t even their basic attacks. They didn¡¯t have a single lead on the exam questions either. It was much harder than the last apocalypse exam room.


    The students watching couldn''t help but sweat for them.


    ¡¾One thing to say, Su Qing''s illusion is really powerful. I watched one of her exams¡ªshe contained 5 bosses so her friends had the opportunity to attack. The attack power of those five bosses was not low, but Su Qing''s illusion was not affected in the slightest. ¡¿


    ¡¾The orange cat just hissed and Su Qing was beaten up! ¡¿


    ¡¾Wtf! This exam room is horrible! How high are these cats in terms of attack and defense? When everyone attacked the blue cat''s claws collectively just now, except for Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe who were in the portable space, the blue cat only paused for a moment...¡¿


    ¡¾So this is the exam room with big bosses everywhere? ¡¿


    ¡¾A minute of silence for the test-takers, I hope they can escape safely...¡¿


    ¡¾Don''t be pessimistic! Xie Wuan hasn''t done anything yet! ¡¿


    ¡¾To tell the truth, I don''t think Xie Wuan makes a big difference if he doesn''t make a move. It''s not that there are no bosses among the classmates who just made the move, but they all attacked together in a group, and it didn''t have any effect. ¡¿


    ¡¾Principal Wang is really "well-intentioned.¡± ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, isn''t he well-intentioned? Although cultivation is not banned, it does not play a big role in this examination room, and this is a cat planet where people are pets, so Lin Xinghe can¡¯t even brainwash them. It is destined to be unbalanced...¡¿


    ¡¾I believe that SL can break the game! ¡¿


    ¡¾Looking forward to the performance of SL! ¡¿


    ...


    Faced with the situation of big bosses everywhere, it was a lie for the candidates in the glass room to say that they were not panicking.


    Everyone had gone through a lot of exam rooms, but no one had ever encountered such a situation. The cats outside could no longer be called cats. Those were big bosses, capable of taking their lives casually.


    ¡­¡­What would they do now?


    ... Fight?


    ...Can''t beat it!


    ... If they don''t fight, wait for other cats to come and buy them as pets?


    "Are we going to get through this exam room as pets?"


    "No way, you have to recapture the princess to pass this exam!"


    "Where is the princess?"


    "The key now is not where the princess is, but whether these cats will abuse people? That orange cat just licked his head and all his hair was peeled off. It''s just a clerk in a pet store! If the other cats are even more ¡°affectionate,¡± won¡¯t I just die?¡±


    "I think of the little yellow duck I used to raise. When my brother sat down, he didn''t realize that it was killed by his butt."


    "...The orange cat sat down and I thought I would die too."


    The people became more and more frenzied after listening to others¡¯ words.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe''s voice clearly reached everyone''s ears through Fu Zhou''s mobile phone speaker, "Everyone, don''t panic."


    Xie Wuan, "Yes, don''t panic."

    Lin Xinghe: "We have a general understanding of the current situation. Although it seems that we are at a disadvantage from the current situation, there¡¯s no use in fear. The cat''s force value is much higher than ours, but this is an exam room, which means it¡¯s a novel world. As long as it is a novel world, it will have a storyline, a protagonist, and many side characters. The blue cat and the orange cat are just characters. No matter how high their force value is, they always have weaknesses..."


    Lin Xinghe added, "The most important thing for us now is to understand the background of this novel world, find out the protagonists, and then think about how to solve the problem."


    Xie Wuan: "Yes."


    Lin Xinghe continued.


    At the end of each time, Xie Wuan echoed a phrase. His confident voice, coupled with Lin Xinghe''s calm tone, let the students who were a little panicked at this moment also calm down.


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan walked out of the portable space.


    The two of them also came to the glass room.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the classmates present and said with a smile, "All of you are familiar faces, and it seems that we have all cooperated in the previous examination room. We follow the same rules. If you want to be on my side, I¡¯ll express my stance. We are in a competitive examination room. Now there are 25 people left. This exam is 25 to 12, which means that thirteen will be eliminated. If it were a normal competitive examination room, I would encourage you to work hard to save your life and strive for an advancement spot, but our competitive examination room this time is a bit different. You all know that Principal Wang is targeting me, so he deliberately increased the examination room difficulty. If you pass this one, the difficulty of the next exam will only increase, so I suggest that if you are not strong enough, go ahead and fight for one of the elimination spots to save your life."


    She said frankly, "Principal Wang is now focused on plotting my demise, so while I''m alive, your subsequent exams will be relatively simple. After you leave, you can score as much as you like and improve your strength... ¡­¡±


    The orange cat had not returned, apparently talking to two ocelots outside the door.


    The door wasn¡¯t completely closed.


    The students could hear some snippets of their conversation.


    But they were just making small talk, and the orange cat was talking to them about what kind of catnip smelled the best.


    Now that the conversation between the cats was about to end, Lin Xinghe continued, "That''s it, it''s up to you to think about it. Now my suggestion is that everyone acts as a group and leaves this place before some cat adopts us."


    Someone asked, "How do we leave? This glass is made of some unknown material and can¡¯t be broken by anything¡ª Qi Qing even used his greatsword and it didn''t make a scratch..."


    Lin Xinghe said, "You don''t need to break the glass."


    She glanced outside the glass room¡ªthe orange cat had ended the conversation.


    She said quickly, "Go to the plane store to buy one-time shrinking props that can last for five minutes. After buying them, use them immediately, and then hide under the bed with me. Since our magic is nothing to them, don¡¯t buy offensive props! And be sure not to buy expansion props. If we become bigger, it won¡¯t be so easy for us to hide.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said again, "Wait for my command!"


    After the orange cat was educated by the leopard cat police outside, he gave them catnip cigarettes and chatted with them for a while before they left.


    The orange cat sighed.


    ... It really saw an alien cat just now. Could it be that he had been smoking too much catnip recently? Oh, it was not impossible, meow. What did the boss say? Record something, meow?


    The orange cat walked slowly to the glass room and then remembered the boss''s instructions. When he was about to work, he suddenly found that none of the humans were inside.


    The orange cat tilted his head. He wasn''t very worried because humans were always good at hiding in the wardrobes and under the beds. Honestly, those were very strange and unreachable places.


    He looked and looked but didn''t see a single feral human.


    ...Wait, did he open the door when he was talking to the ocelot police?


    The orange cat immediately opened the door of the glass room, stuck his paw in, and used his claws to search in the wardrobe and under the table and bed.


    It smelled humans under the bottom of the bed, but his head was too big to get in. He sniffed and sniffed, but the smell disappeared, replaced by the strange reek of orange peels.


    It hated the smell and immediately retracted its paws.


    It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe, who had just finished using an orange peel water prop, shouted, "Classmates who can fly, get ready! Follow me!"


    Lin Xinghe rode a magic broom and jumped into the orange cat''s back.


    Twenty-three classmates followed Lin Xinghe and jumped onto the orange cat.


    They used shrinking props, which made them as small as fleas.


    The orange cat was so fat that he didn¡¯t feel it at all. Normally, it would definitely sit on the ground and start grooming its fur, but now that feral people are gone, he was screwed!


    The orange cat scurried around in a hurry, thinking that the ferals took the opportunity to sneak out. He paced around the glass room but couldn''t find them, then hurriedly exited the glass room, opened the door again, and left.

 CH 129.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 129.1


    After they shrunk, the cats and surroundings appeared even larger. Even the breeze that was blowing was like a gale, testing the limits of the twenty-three candidates sitting on the back of the orange cat.


    The orange cat was a short-haired cat, but his short hair was like a thick blanket, completely submerging them. Lin Xinghe could only fly up on a magic broom and observe the surroundings.


    Lin Xinghe had just learned from the passersby that this was a place called Bastet Star.


    Bastet was the cat god in ancient Egyptian mythology.


    This planet was called Bastet Star, so it should be a planet dominated by cats.


    The buildings outside were all square and had no windows, like a huge box. The doors had various shapes and were rarely at the front of the building. Instead, semicircles, oblong figures, and cusplike sides could be seen on the roofs, walls, and other weird places.


    While Lin Xinghe was observing this, she saw a few cats spring onto the roofs and then disappear.


    These box buildings were in all the colors of the rainbow, and there was a flashing number plate at the door of each box. The store names were outlined in LEDs.


    In addition to all kinds of cats, there were also vehicles that were taller than the cats, four-wheeled, three-wheeled, two-wheeled, and their shapes were not much different from the means of transportation used by humans. The only difference was that cats drove them all.


    Lin Xinghe soon discovered that the cats on the street were also different.


    Common knowledge dictated that cats walk on four feet, but in addition to walking on four feet, there were also upright cats that walked on two feet.


    All the upright cats drove vehicles.


    At this time, Xie Wuan guided his sword to Lin Xinghe''s side, dropped a shielding barrier, and said, "I just tested it, magic weapons don¡¯t work on the cat, and the props from the plane store are the same."


    Jiuge also flew up and said, "Western magic too."


    Fu Zhou also came up and said, "The same is true of talismans."


    Leiting also flew over with Qi Qing.


    Qi Qing didn''t speak, just shook his head.


    Fu Zhou suddenly said, "Is this test room a bit like our previous cruise test room? Like in the alpine rimerose exam room, we couldn¡¯t attack the ligui because we weren¡¯t in the same dimension."


    Jiuge continued, "It''s a bit similar..."


    Lin Xinghe replied, "When the whole group attacked before, the blue cat felt it. Strictly speaking, I don''t think it''s ineffective, but the strength is not enough..." She paused. "Here¡¯s an analogy. If this exam room were a video game, and the cat were the boss, the boss''s attack value and defense value are 9999999999, which is close to invincibility, so our attacks will not work. If there is only one cat, we can still think of a way to use force, But the current situation is that this is a cat planet, and there may be no upper limit on the attack value and defense value of each cat. Principal Wang wants to completely cut off our way of breaking through the examination room by force."


    As if thinking of something, Lin Xinghe looked at Xie Wuan and said, "Xianjun, you set up a barrier, right?"


    Xie Wuan said, "Shield barrier."


    Lin Xinghe said: "Cats are creatures with a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing. According to their hearing, if the shield barrier is not set up, they should be able to hear our conversation. However, Xianjun tried this on the cat, and he had no response. ¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan said, "Yes, things affecting us work, but things affecting the cats don¡¯t.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, "Does it mean that the props can only be used on ourselves?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, so it basically also prevents us from using offensive props in the store."


    When Fu Zhou heard this, he couldn''t help worrying and said, "Can we only let these cats slaughter us?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Not necessarily..."


    "Now we need a safe place to live as our base camp," she said with a smile.


    She shouted to the classmates below: "The time limit for changing small props is only five minutes. Remember to recast when the time is up! Are there people who can use stealth magic? Or those who have stealth props, come forward."


    The twenty-three students were full of talents.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe finished speaking, eight classmates stood up.


    Jiuge said, "I have an invisibility cloak that can be used by two people."


    Fu Zhou also said, "I have ten invisibility talismans."


    Other students also expressed their conditions.


    Lin Xinghe said, "Just in case, after using the shrink props, we¡¯ll share invisibility items. We may stay on the orange cat for a few hours. In addition, cats have the habit of licking each other''s fur. If there is another cat who comes and grooms the orange cat, remember to avoid it."


    A boss leading them to victory was something none of the students could protest.


    Not long after Lin Xinghe finished speaking, everyone recast the shrink prop, and those with invisibility used those too.

 CH 129.2

    The orange cat who came out in a hurry was still looking around outside the pet store, but unfortunately, he didn¡¯t find any feral humans.


    He was frantic, and his big head kept turning left and right.


    "...I¡¯m done for, I¡¯m done for."


    "...This is bad."


    He seemed to think of something, went back to the pet store, and took out a bag of human snack biscuits.


    He stood up, one paw hugging the bag of snacks and biscuits, and the other paw poking four biscuits with its sharp nails. He shouted, "Let¡¯s eat biscuits? Don''t hide, come out, meow! It''s okay to wander outside. There''s no food or drink there, meow! Come back, come back! I promise to find you a good and responsible cat! I will definitely not take you to be sterilized!"


    The orange cat shook the biscuits in his paws.


    But he didn''t see any human beings.


    The orange cat panicked, and his eyes widened.


    "...What should I do?"


    It was also at this time that the blue cat jumped off the roof, saw Xueqiu standing at the door stupidly, and scolded, "Have you recorded the sexes of the males and females? Are you being lazy again? How many times do I have to say this? Don¡¯t get up! We have the official appeal of the Queen¡¯s favor, and we will return to natural order!"


    The orange cat quickly bit the biscuit bag and put down both front paws.


    The blue cat lowered his voice again and said, "Don''t stand up again. If you want to stand up, go back to your own home. I signed the appeal. If it is reported, the tax relief policy will be gone. Then, it would be deducted from your salary!"


    The orange cat put down the biscuits and said, "Got it..."


    The blue cat glanced at the biscuits in his paws and scolded, "We can''t eat human snacks, and we can''t digest them. Is your salary enough to see a doctor? When will you stop being so gluttonous?"


    Seeing that the blue cat was about to push the door to go in, the orange cat was so frightened that he said quickly, "I¡¯m almost done. I''ll give it to you before I get off work. I messed up a little inside. Boss, please don''t go in. I promise to tidy it up before I get off work."


    The blue cat rolled his eyes and said, "Have you been jumping around the store again? Look at how much you weigh. Aren''t you afraid of tearing down my store? Forget it, fix it before you get off work, and I won''t deduct your salary if it''s done."


    The orange cat nodded frantically.


    Only then did the blue cat return to the store.


    The orange cat didn''t dare to stand up anymore. He bit the bag of human snacks biscuits and went back to the house, looked around and found nothing. He finally lured a dozen feral people from the cat climbing frame in the park.


    The orange cat neatly put them in cages. Fearing that they would be jostled to death, he took a taxi back to the pet store, and while the boss was not paying attention, threw them into the disinfection room to be cleaned.


    Lin Xinghe and the others could see clearly from the cat''s back. They watched the orange cat wash the shivering people and rip off the clothing covering their nether regions with his claws. After identifying their sex, the cat threw males to the left, females to the right, took pictures of them, and finally sprayed a lot of mint water on the men. While spraying, the orange cat took a deep sniff, then rolled around wildly on the ground.


    Lin Xinghe and the others had to fly to the top of the cat climbing frame in the store.


    After the orange cat was done rolling around, he turned on the computer, tapped the keyboard with his paws, and finally printed out a form.


    After dark, the blue cat came in.


    The orange cat gave the statistics to the blue cat. The blue cat glanced at it and didn¡¯t see anything wrong with the data except, "Why are there so few humans?"


    The orange cat said, "The ferals were not all healthy, and some of them were infected with some unknown disease. I was afraid that they would sicken the healthy ones, so I tossed the sick ones and kept only the healthy ones.¡±


    The blue cat listened and nodded.


    The orange cat breathed a sigh of relief.


    The blue cat said, "The photos were taken well. This female looks good. It will be advertised in the most conspicuous position of the website tomorrow. I hope it can be sold at a high price. You have done a good job."


    The orange cat smiled embarrassedly.


    The blue cat said, "You have worked hard today. You can get off work after cleaning the store."


    The orange cat agreed.


    When the blue cat left, the orange cat did not clean up, yawned lazily, and fell asleep on the ground.

 CH 130

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 130.0


    Even if the cats became huge and could speak human language, they still had the same sleeping habits.


    Lin Xinghe observed the orange cat on the ground for a while and said to the people around her, "We are divided into four groups. One group will go to the human NPCs with me to explore the plot, the second group will go to the door to let out the air, the third group will study the orange cat, and the fourth group will look for security cameras. Most of the pet stores have security cameras. After we disappeared, the orange cat did not check the monitors immediately, but that doesn¡¯t mean that there is no surveillance here. Either it didn''t think of it, or it was afraid that the boss would find out that he was slacking off. So we have to find the location of the surveillance cams and break them."


    After a day of struggle, Lin Xinghe already knew everyone''s skills.


    Twenty-three people, divided into four groups...


    Before she could start negotiating groups, Xie Wuan was already standing beside her and said, "I''m in your group."


    Jiuge said, "Me too..."


    Xie Wuan said indifferently, "One powerful person in a group is enough."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Yes, to explore the plot with the human NPCs only needs one person with high force value..." She paused, "Actually, I can do it alone, but if there are people who are willing to join me. You can raise your hand... Talking to the human NPC means you have to enter the glass room. You run the risk of being trapped. Raise your hand if you can accept this risk."


    Many classmates were reluctant to take this risk. Only two people raised their hands, one of whom was fierce-looking. Immediately, someone said, "You look like this, aren''t you afraid of scaring human NPCs?"


    Lin Xinghe waved his hand and said, "It''s okay, they can''t see him anyway. You two are willing to explore the plot with me and Xianjun, right? Then let''s arrange the rest like this..."


    She chose a few fast-flying Xianxia students to clear the air.


    It was relatively easy to study and watch the orange cat, so she arranged that task for the students of the modern department.


    It would be a bit more difficult to find the surveillance. She asked Jiuge, Fu Zhou, and Qi Qing to join.


    She added, "The surveillance here may be uploaded to the cloud and there may be higher-end and more advanced functions than we know. In short, after finding how we¡¯re being monitored, it is best to destroy everything that can be destroyed."


    Fu Zhou said there was no problem.


    Qi Qing raised his eyes and glanced at her and Xie Wuan, then agreed wordlessly.


    After Lin Xinghe confirmed that the orange cat was asleep, she flew to the glass room on a magic broom. She didn''t take off her invisibility cloak and flew in mid-air, carefully observing the people inside through the glass.


    Males and females were separated by a scratching board five or six meters high.


    Most of them sat in the corner with their knees folded, and some people hid under the table in fear.


    They had already eaten up the snacks on the table. Even so, they were all sallow and thin. Most of them had anxiety and panic in their expressions. Some people were crying, but there were exceptions. Two or three people ran to the bed generously and went to sleep, without the slightest expression of fear.


    These so-called "feral" people didn¡¯t look very old. They ranged from early twenties to early teens, with the majority of them being teenagers.


    The girl flying behind Lin Xinghe asked in a low voice, "When are we going in?"


    Lin Xinghe said, "Now, the two of you are following behind me, don''t say a word."


    The orange cat had shown them how to open the hole. She was about to find the button, but she saw that Xie Wuan had pressed the button of the glass door, and at the same time, a sound barrier was set up outside the glass room.


    A hole opened immediately above the glass room.


    Lin Xinghe flew in. After she landed, she undid the shrinking but did not take off the invisibility cloak. Then, she flew into the air and screamed, "Why are you at my house? Who are you?"


    When the people below heard the voice, they looked at each other and shivered even more.


    Lin Xinghe said again, "This is my home, you all get out of my way!" As she spoke, she flew to a man''s side and pushed him, but he didn''t sit still and stumbled to the ground.


    At this time, Xie Wuan''s heart sounded¡ª¡ª


    "Oh, I see what she means."


    At the same time, Xie Wuan raised his hand, and waves of demonic wind blew on the spot. The blankets on the bed whipped around, and the hair of the NPCs on the ground were also blown into a mess.


    The NPCs were all terrified.


    Someone boldly said, "I... I was caught..."


    Lin Xinghe felt the joy of a small success.


    Their language was the same.


    It was much more convenient for communication.


    She said, "No..."


    She said five or six "no" in a row before she said, "Why did my home become like this? My home is not so big..." She took a breath and said, "How long have I been dead? Outside? How did my cat get so big? Hey! The one lying on the bed, tell me, what happened?"


    Xie Wuan brought some demonic wind over at the right time.


    The few people on the bed sat up and looked left and right. Under the guidance of Lin Xinghe, they answered her questions honestly.


    Just twenty-five years ago, this planet was an ordinary human-inhabited planet, and cats were just ordinary animals. One day, all cats suddenly became bigger, possessed human intelligence, knew how to speak human language, and gained immortal bodies.


    Louis V, who ruled the planet, dispatched the world''s armed forces, but they did not hurt the cats in the slightest. In the end, Louis V was defeated, and Wang Cai, the leader of the cat army, replaced Louis V. He became the first king of Bastet Star.


    "...This is all from my parents, I don''t know if it''s true or not."


    "Yes, my parents said that, but I think it''s fake. Cats are born to rule humans and are our masters. We are so weak and incompetent, only suitable as pets. How could it be possible for humans to rule the planet and treat cats like pets?"


    "Actually, I think it''s good to be a pet. It''s too dangerous outside. If you''re not careful, you''ll be hit by a car and killed. If you starve yourself like my parents, you¡¯ll die. Don''t worry about being attacked by cats or other animals outside, don''t worry about winter, just make the owner happy! What a pet! I''ve always wanted to meet a kind cat owner!"


    "Aren''t you afraid of meeting a bad cat owner? Some cat owners are very perverted and terrible. I saw the cat owner play a woman to death with my own eyes. Their nails are so long and thin, they go through the bottom and then out the mouth..."


    "To be honest, you are all too old. This pet store doesn''t look like a regular pet store, and the people who are sold at a regular pet store are raised from childhood to adults. They have gone through special socialization training to please cat owners. They¡¯re purebred people, whereas we¡¯re just feral and have bad bloodlines. There are not many rich cat owners who come here to buy people. We might be abused or starved."


    Although Lin Xinghe had the experience of being an animal, she always believed that she was a person with flesh and blood. Hearing these remarks, she immediately felt the deep malice of Principal Wang in arranging this examination room.

 CH 131.1

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 131.1


    Those people continued, "It''s really not that easy to be photographed by a rich cat owner. It''s not just pure blood, but you have to keep up with the trend. For example, the blond, blue-eyed, white-skinned people who were born last year were popular. Babies, as long as their eyes were blue, and their skin was fair, had cat owners bidding immediately. The starting price was 10,000 yuan. I had a friend who had blue eyes and was a feral human. She was caught on the street, and the owner of the largest pet store saw her and brought her back. It took seven or eight times to get her pregnant. After staying in the pet hospital for a whole year, she finally gave birth to two babies with blue eyes. Before they were born, someone paid 20,000 yuan to order the babies in her belly, all the food and drink during her pregnancy were of the highest quality, and she lived in splendor."


    The people who had been huddled in the corner heard it and gradually gathered around.


    Someone asked curiously, "Can I eat and drink without worrying while being pregnant?"


    "Can you really be fed fat for nothing?"


    "Of course! Without nutrition, you won''t be able to have a good-looking baby!"


    "Ah, I want to get pregnant too."


    "I want to keep getting pregnant!"


    The man added, "When you give birth to a child, you will die if you are not careful. When my friend gave birth to the third one, she bled and died, and her body was thrown out of the pet store... So it''s better to meet a kind cat owner who will give you food, shelter, and protection. The trends also vary a lot. This year, people with white skin are no longer popular. People think that dark skin is good-looking and resistant to dirt, so the price of white skin has plummeted. A lot of fair-skinned, blonde, and blue-eyed people have been kicked out of pet stores... We are pregnant for ten months, which is not the same as cats. Ten months are long. Who knows what will be popular after ten months?"


    Someone whispered, "I still envy people who can eat enough..."


    "Yes, today is the day I eat. If I can have meals every day, I will be satisfied even knowing that I will die in ten months."


    The swap of human and cat identities.


    Even though Lin Xinghe used to be at the bottom of the food chain, she still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these words now.


    It was also at this time that she heard Xie Wuan''s inner voice¡ª¡ª


    "...Why is she so silent?"


    "...Why does she feel a little unhappy?"


    "...The world is where the weak eat the strong, and whoever is stronger has the final say, so there''s no need to be unhappy."


    "...It can''t be generalized either."


    "...Strong empathy indicates delicate emotions."


    "It''s just that it''s rare to see her like this, so this illustrious one is also in a bad mood. It would be nice if she could be happy. She looks really cute when she smiles."


    "...Of course when she doesn¡¯t smile, she looks good too."


    "...A frown looks good too."


    "...Anger looks good too."


    Lin Xinghe actually felt a little bit of discomfort in her heart. After hearing Xie Wuan''s voice, that little bit of emotion was dissipated. She thought about it in a blink of an eye, and felt that there was nothing to be uncomfortable about. This was just a novel world. After the world was over, the world would be restarted, and the people and cats here would have a new life again.


    In this world, they were actually just actors.


    Lin Xinghe turned her head, wanting to smile at Xie Wuan, but when she turned her head, she remembered that everyone was now invisible. She didn''t know where Xie Wuan was, but could only vaguely feel that he was by her side.


    In fact, she and Xie Wuan hadn''t teamed up many times, but now that she couldn''t see him, just knowing that he was by her side made her feel at ease. Occasionally, she had mood swings, but she could be calmed down by his inner words.


    Lin Xinghe dismissed her previous thoughts. She already knew a lot of plot from the mouths of these feral NPCs.


    The test question was to take back the princess, and the current situation was that before this planet was ruled by humans, there was a king named Louis V, and the planet was occupied by cats. The ocelots also mentioned a queen, which meant that the ruler of this country had been replaced before.


    There were kings and queens, and their children were princes and princesses.


    Recapturing the princess, whether it were the king''s daughter or the cat''s daughter, could be  the princess in the prompt.


    Thinking about this, Lin Xinghe had a new question.


    She said, "Do you know of alien cats? I think I heard a cat talking about alien cats when it was sleeping."


    The feral said-


    "I do not know about this."


    "I do not know either."


    "I am not sure."


    "It''s not easy to surviving every day. I hide when I see a cat. How could I know what an alien cat is..."


    Lin Xinghe looked at the daring and knowledgeable feral humans who were not completely petrified.


    They said, "If the food and clothing problem is not solved, who will pay attention to the political issues?"


    ¡­¡­Political issues?


    Lin Xinghe wanted to ask more but received a message from the second group of classmates: The orange cat was about to wake up.


    The third group said there was no movement outside the door.


    The four groups said there was surveillance, but it probably had not been activated for a long time.


    Lin Xinghe immediately said: Everyone gather.


    She no longer communicated with the group of feral people and left the glass room on a magic broom. She had previously set the top of the cat climbing frame as the meeting point.


    When Lin Xinghe flew back, she didn''t know if the other classmates had returned. Everyone didn''t cancel the stealth mode, and she could only hear her classmates talking.


    She shouted: "We are back, let''s all get organized."


    There was noise down there.


    "The second group is in the east!"


    "The third group is in the west!"


    "The fourth group is in the north!"


    "...Ah, who stepped on my foot!"


    "...Don''t push me!"

 CH 131.2

    I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 131.2


    When Lin Xinghe hit the ground, she didn''t know who she bumped into. She stumbled and didn''t stand still. It was also at this time that someone supported her and she stood up.


    She said, "Thank you, you are?"


    The other party said, "Xie Wuan."


    She was a little surprised.


    "Can you see me even when I am invisible?"


    As soon as she said this, the originally noisy surroundings immediately quieted down.


    Xie Wuan said, "I can''t see you, but I can smell you."


    Lin Xinghe said, "Ah, I used a prop to hide the smell. Can you really smell me? If you can smell me, the orange cat can definitely smell me. Can you recognize other people?"


    Xie Wuan replied, "You have a special scent on your body. I can only identify your scent."


    Lin Xinghe asked, "What scent?"


    Xie Wuan said, "I don''t know, it''s like a rose and an orchid. It smells very good and fragrant."


    As soon as the voice fell, the surroundings became even quieter.


    Except for Jiuge, Fu Zhou, and Qi Qing, it was the first time that everyone was so close to the legendary boss Xie Wuan. Whether it was livestream or campus life, this boss always took the high-cold route. Now, hearing him talk like this, everyone felt a bit¡­ ambiguous and suspicious.


    ...Speaking of a girl''s fragrance in such a serious way, was he really not flirting with Lin Xinghe?


    The livestream audience .


    ¡¾T_T they are all invisible! Although I can''t see it, but I think the CP I''m chasing is coming true! ¡¿


    ¡¾I just said that Xie Wuan likes Lin Xinghe without knowing it! They can smell each other''s special scent! I have never smelled the fragrance on Lin Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡¾I heard that when you like someone, you can smell the scent of the other person! ¡¿


    ¡¾I admit this! When I like someone, only I can smell his scent! What a beautiful love! ¡¿


    ¡¾I no longer stand for SL X Xiaopu. Now, I only stand for the SL X Xie Wuan! ¡¿


    ¡¾I don''t even want to watch their exams! I just want to watch them fall in love! ¡¿


    ...


    Neither of the two parties involved were aware of this ambiguity.


    Lin Xinghe thought it was Xie Wuan''s special skill, and she was still a little envious. Seeing that the classmates around them were quiet, she said, "When the orange cat wakes up, we will fly to the orange cat according to the groups in the same positions. As was before, be careful not to bump into people."


    At this time, the orange cat lying on the ground and sleeping lazily opened his eyes. He arched his body vigorously and laid his front paws on the ground again, stretched waist, and finally stood up, eyes wide open.


    Having learned his lesson, he did not dare to take it lightly. After counting the number of people, he seemed to think of something. He flexibly jumped on the cat climbing frame and turned on the surveillance in the corner.


    In order to save electricity, the boss had been shutting it off.


    He was also afraid that the boss would see that he slacked off.


    But he was going to go home now, and if the ferals were lost again, the boss would definitely deduct its salary. He would just turn off the surveillance quietly first thing in the morning.


    The orange cat jumped off the cat climbing frame, closed the door, and left the pet store.


    Lin Xinghe, Xie Wuan, and others had already flown to the orange cat, and everyone found their corresponding positions.


    There were seven planetal bodies in the night sky of planet Bastet, which was much more than the moon of Earth. They were evenly distributed in the air. Occasionally, aircraft flew past, and there were some ground vehicles few and far between, and even then they were mostly just walking cats.


    There were no lights on the street. In a slightly dark place, the cat''s eyes were like two huge light bulbs, shining faintly.


    The orange cat walked for about half an hour and entered an underground passage.


    He brushed his face through the turnstile, yawned, and waited for the train.


    After five minutes, the train came slowly, similar to the subway, but the size was also larger to accomodate the height of the cat.


    There were many cats lying on the waiting platform. A few of them were standing, but most of them were lying on the ground tiredly. After the train arrived, the orange cat stretched again. Lin Xinghe and the others could only fly to the side on their flying apparatus and wait for the orange cat to stretch out before going back.


    The orange cat entered the train.


    There were no seats on either side of the train, and there were no poles or handrails, but there were many things that looked like cat climbing frames.


    As soon as the orange cat entered, he pranced to the cat climbing frame closest to him, jumped to the highest level, licked his paws, washed his face, and lay down tiredly.


    The surrounding cat climbing holes were soon crowded with cats, and the cats that did not occupy a place chose the ground. Some were lying flat on their backs.


    Two cats were squeezed on the cat climbing frame next to the orange cat.


    "Are you off work?"


    "The boss made me work overtime again. It''s not easy to get paid, meow."


    "I really envy human beings. They don''t have to do anything, just stay at home. I have to work to earn money to support mine. In my next life, I want to be a human. I don''t want to be a working cat, I''m exhausted."


    "I have also raised a person. Food and drink are expensive. I can''t afford it anymore. I can only make more money."


    "It''s good to raise people, as long as you raise them well, they can be lifelong pets."


    "My baby was left to me by my mother. Now it''s nineteen years old and older than me. I don''t know if it can live that long. I need to get more babies, otherwise my baby will be too old. Society won¡¯t like it as much, and it¡¯ll starve to death if it goes outside."


    "I''m going back to work overtime!"


    "Damn boss!"


    Lin Xinghe was silent.


    ...Even cats couldn¡¯t escape 996*.


    *996 refers to working from 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week.

 CH 132.1

    Lin Xinghe found that the orange cat was also eavesdropping on the two cats next door. He didn¡¯t join in, but his ears perked up.


    Soon, he fell asleep again.


    Cats were creatures who liked sleeping and needed a lot of it. After they grew larger and became intelligent, they had not gotten rid of this habit. The orange cat slept very soundly. The cats in the subway were actually very well behaved. No cats ate. After entering, they either slept on their stomachs or talked to other cats in low voices.


    After napping for about an hour, the orange cat finally opened his eyes.


    He jumped off the cat climbing frame and got out of the subway.


    It was a bit desolate outside, far from the bustle of the pet store block. It was pitch black, and there were no lights on the road, but animals like cats with strong night vision didn¡¯t need light.


    The orange cat walked a long, long way. It took thirty minutes for an old building to emerge. It was different from the box buildings in the bustling city center. The shape of the building here was more like a human dwelling, but it was ten times longer and wider, and there was an elevator inside. The orange cat had to stand up to reach the elevator buttons.


    The orange cat lived on the nineteenth floor.


    His house was very small. By human proportions, there was only one small room. There was a small cat toilet in the upper left corner of the house, which was open and filled with sand. In the corner of the toilet, there was a bag of cat food, a bag of freeze-dried food, and several small bags of dried fish snacks. There was a faucet on the wall and a large water basin under the faucet.


    A cardboard box was placed on the other side, and a hole was opened in the middle. It could be seen that the orange cat made it himself. It was framed by claw marks, and there was a fluffy cushion inside.


    After the orange cat entered the house, he turned on the faucet, drank some water, ate a handful of cat food, bit a small fish in his mouth, dragged it into the cardboard box, ate it, and went to sleep again.


    As soon as they entered the room, Lin Xinghe and the other students flew to the top of the cardboard box.


    After the orange cat fell asleep, Lin Xinghe took off her invisibility cloak.


    As soon as she took off her invisibility cloak, the other classmates followed.


    Figures appeared on the cardboard box.


    Xie Wuan immediately set up a shielding barrier, then nodded slightly to Lin Xinghe.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe nodded slightly.


    Someone sent a private message on a mobile phone¡ª


    ¡¾I always feel that there is a tacit understanding between Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan! ¡¿


    ¡¾Inexplicably, I feel that the two of them are a bit of a match! ¡¿


    ¡¾Can we lie down and win? ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­Can we third wheel on the way? ¡¿


    At this time, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The plot of this world has almost been explored. If you want to leave the competitive examination room early, raise your hand. I will send you the story background, so that your ranking will be lower¡­¡±


    The two classmates who had just followed Lin Xinghe into the glass room were also pulled into the private chat group.


    ¡¾QAQ, you don¡¯t know, just now I followed SL into the glass room, and I didn¡¯t even need to communicate with the NPCs. After SL¡¯s operation, those NPCs knew everything and said everything, and I just got points for nothing when I went in. ¡¿


    ¡¾If you want to follow to the next exam room, raise your hands later! ¡¿


    After going through the apocalypse exam room and this exam room, some students were unwilling to enter the next exam room. Who knew if they would survive? In order to fight against Lin Xinghe, Principal Wang, all the candidates present felt the difficulties and arduousness of the examination room.


    They all raised their hands.


    Lin Xinghe counted the number of people, recorded the names, and sent the background story to those who didn¡¯t raise their hands.


    The audience was very envious.


    ¡¾¡­The exam room with SL is really harmonious, but unfortunately I have never been in the same exam room as her. ¡¿


    ¡¾SL¡¯s name is not for nothing! I also want to have the answers one day. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahaha, I feel that everyone is cheating openly, but Principal Wang has nothing on Lin Xinghe, who makes everyone willing! ¡¿


    ¡¾To be honest, I am also willing! So exciting! ¡¿

 CH 132.2

    After Lin Xinghe had finished posting the background of the story, she said, ¡°This is roughly the background of the novel. The protagonist and supporting roles of this world are still unknown, but we are not in a hurry. It will not be too late to find the protagonist after we have thoroughly understood the background of the novel. It¡¯s the recapture of the princess. I personally guess that it means the daughter of a human king or a cat¡¯s daughter. Of course, it may be something else altogether. Without a thorough understanding of all the background, I can¡¯t draw a conclusion¡­¡±


    After a while, she added, ¡°And now what we have to do first is to occupy a base camp, and I chose this place.¡±


    Someone asked, ¡°Will we wait until the orange cat goes to work during the day?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him and said with a grin, ¡°Of course not, if we make a base camp, it has to only be ours. We own it, be it night or day. After we have a place to rest, we will learn about the world and find a way to recapture the princess. ¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes circled around, as if thinking about something. In less than a minute, she said, ¡°The setting of this world is not very favorable for us. We definitely can¡¯t beat the cat, so we can only outsmart it.¡±


    Someone asked, ¡°How?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Let¡¯s regroup. Wait a bit and go back to invisibility and don¡¯t shrink, but don¡¯t make any noise.¡±


    Lin Xinghe pointed to the cat toilet and said, ¡°The second group is in charge of the cat litter.¡±


    She pointed to the water, ¡°Water, group three.¡±


    ¡°Cat food, group four.¡±


    She said, ¡°Listen to my instructions later. Remove your barriers, mute your phones, and get in touch.¡± At the same time, Lin Xinghe released Xiao Xue Ji.


    She whispered to Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji stretched, turned into a puppet cat, and jumped onto Lin Xinghe¡¯s shoulders.


    She turned to look at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan said to her, ¡°What do you want? I will cooperate with you.¡±


    The orange cat in the carton was drowsy, but suddenly, the cardboard box vibrated, which woke him up. He yawned sleepily, looked closely, and saw that everything was quiet.


    He was about to go back to sleep when a harsh scratching sound suddenly sounded above the cardboard box.


    The orange cat bowed his back in fright. He listened and walked out of the cardboard box without a sound. He stared at the top of the cardboard box, leaned down, and made a posture of preparing to attack.


    It jumped up suddenly and swiped his paw, but unfortunately, he didn¡¯t hit anything.


    It confused him.


    At this time, the cat litter in the cat toilet suddenly floated five or six meters high, then fell, then bounced, and then fell again, and there was a strange breathing sound.


    Then, the faucet was suddenly turned on, and the water flowed out.


    The orange cat looked at it stupidly. Suddenly the water basin was knocked over. The water spilled all over the ground, and the water basin rolled around a few times before it hit the wall and fell to the ground.


    The cat food in the cat food bag also bounced up piece by piece like the cat litter, and even formed a huge ¡°Get Out¡± in the air.


    The orange cat was dumbfounded.


    He gasped in fear.


    The words ¡°Get Out¡± fell and reappeared again, becoming even bigger.


    At the same time, a fierce hiss came out of nowhere, as if it was coming from all directions. ¡°Get Out¡± in the air was slowly approaching it. The water basin made a jingling sound, and the cat litter was also frantically moving.


    The orange cat jumped into the corner of the cardboard box in fright, shivering.


    However, at this time, there was a scratching sound from the top of the cardboard box.


    The orange cat called his boss.


    ¡°Boss, my house is haunted!¡±

 CH 133.1

    A transparent window floated in the air.


    The blue cat in the window was gathering in a place similar to a dive bar to smoke mint. At the moment, he was so high that his body shook. On the dance floor not far away, there were countless cats pouncing wildly and licking each other¡¯s fur.


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    The orange cat shivered in the corner.


    ¡°Ha¡­haunted¡­¡±


    The blue cat didn¡¯t even look at the orange cat out of the corner of his eyes. He inhaled a ball of mint until his pupils rolled up and said, ¡°It¡¯s so late, why aren¡¯t you asleep? Do you want to slack off during the day? Hurry up and hang up. Some customers have already seen the ferals in our store, and they will come over at eleven o¡¯clock tomorrow morning, so please take good care of them.¡±


    As soon as the voice fell, the window floating in mid-air closed immediately.


    The room fell dead silent again.


    The orange cat swallowed.


    It became quiet again outside, as if everything just now was just an illusion.


    He took a deep breath, moved to the mouth of the cardboard box in small steps, quietly stuck out a small half of his head, and looked out. It was quiet outside. Everything was as normal as before, the cat litter didn¡¯t jump around, the faucet was off, and the water basin was in place. Most of all, there was no weird breathing sound.


    The orange cat breathed a sigh of relief.


    He felt that his work pressure may have been too high recently. The boss had been squeezing his physical labor force, and his salary had not been raised. The word ¡°Get out¡± in the air may have been a true portrayal of what he always wanted to yell at his boss.


    The orange cat comforted himself, and he relaxed.


    His head shrank back, and when he was about to go back to the corner to sleep, he suddenly heard a hissing noise so close that it seemed to be right in his ear.


    He jumped up suddenly and even dumped the cardboard box to one side. All kinds of strange scratching noises emanated from the box.


    But he inspected it¡ªit didn¡¯t have any scratches at all.


    Even if he slammed his claws into the box and into every corner of it, there was no response¡ª nothing was in the box.


    He sprang out of the box in fright.


    As soon as he got out, the word ¡°Get Out¡± in the air appeared again, and it was still vibrating up and down!


    The orange cat let out a terrified cry. He jumped with his four paws, rushed to the door, and banged his head on the door several times before realizing that the door was not open. His fur puffed up, and he meowed several times before he could get the door open just a crack.


    He didn¡¯t fully open the door, but squeezed through the crack and slid out like a liquid.


    Lin Xinghe made Xiao Xue Ji grow bigger and close the door.


    As soon as the door was closed, Lin Xinghe took off her invisibility cloak and said, ¡°We¡¯re done! We have occupied our base camp!¡±


    The audience was stunned.


    ¡¾Um? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾Is this okay? ? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m stunned! To tell the truth, I would definitely be surprised by this operation on others, but with SL, this is just normal! ¡¿


    ¡¾I actually watched a funny horror movie in just ten minutes! ¡¿


    ¡¾A little sympathy for the big orange cat, woohoo! ¡¿


    ¡¾Poor poor big orange cat! He was haunted after returning home, and now he doesn¡¯t know where to hide. ¡¿


    ¡¾Don¡¯t sympathize with the big orange cat, it can kill you with one paw. ¡¿


    While the audience was debating, the students also released their invisibility one after another.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°second team, third team, and fourth team¡ªyou¡¯ve all worked hard.¡±


    The students said-


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard, it¡¯s so much fun!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha yes! Thanks to the classmates who collaborated with me to vibrate the characters. Thanks to you being in charge of the radicals, our scrolling characters were so perfect! Your magic is amazing!¡±


    ¡°The cat litter was really fun! In order to show the effects of Director Lin¡¯s idea, we spent points to buy a sand table in the plane mall and experimented with it a few times before we developed perfect cooperation!¡±


    ¡°In contrast, our faucet was much more boring. My proposal to blow water into a firework in the air was rejected by Director Lin.¡±


    ¡°Whose water would explode into fireworks? Hahahaha!¡±

 CH 133.2

    ¡°We also needed a solid foundation in immortal magic to simulate the sound of a cat scratching the box on the cardboard box!¡±


    ¡°I was almost caught by the orange cat just now, many thanks to Fu Zhou¡¯s mount for saving me!¡±


    While the classmates were chatting, Xiao Xue Ji had changed back to the appearance of a little girl and returned to Lin Xinghe.


    Leiting fluttered its big white wings and came to Xiao Xue Ji, showing off its new wings in different poses.


    It was a pity that Xiao Xue Ji wasn¡¯t very interested. She glanced at them and then retracted her gaze.


    Leiting went to find Fu Zhou. After a while, it brought an oversized paper bag over. After landing, it lowered its head and gently put down the paper bag.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at it¡ªit was full of cat treats.


    Leiting pushed the paper bag forward with its head, showing a naive expression.


    Only then did Xiao Xue Ji reach out, pick out a small bag of catnip biscuits, and say, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Fu Zhou saw it in his eyes, and he hated that his Leiting was¡­ such an immature simp!


    Look at Lin Xinghe¡¯s Xiao Xue Ji!


    Her mount was so smart and talented! She was able to transform into a human form that was no different from a living person! His own Leiting still couldn¡¯t speak and was pretty dumb, but it still only thought about about picking up girls! Didn¡¯t it see that Xiao Xue Ji was just being polite! Xiao Xue Ji didn¡¯t seem interested at all! But when his silly mount saw Xiao Xue Ji holding the bag of snacks it gave her, it was so happy that it fluttered its big white goose wings in the air and told him to only buy catnip biscuits in the future!


    Seeing that his classmates were looking at his mount and Xiao Xue Ji, Fu Zhou coughed heavily and quickly turned everyone¡¯s attention away by asking, ¡°We now have a base camp, what should we do next?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s been a hard day. Everyone, please take a good rest first. The orange cat will definitely not come back tonight. It has to go to work tomorrow, and it probably won¡¯t come back for a few nights. Right now, the best thing we can do is rest, and in the morning, we can go around to scout out the territory and strategize from there.¡±


    The students had been shrunken and invisible all day and flew for a long time, so now they were really tired and sleepy.


    If they were still in the pet store, they probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to rest well, but they now had a base camp. This house was small for the orange cat, but it was more than enough to accommodate twenty-three of them. After all, the ceiling height was at least ten meters.


    Students with abilities in construction immediately cast spells to divide the 10-meter compartment into three layers.


    Basically everyone could fly, and the lack of stairs posed no inconvenience.


    Some classmates contributed their own folding furniture. After a simple arrangement, the orange cat¡¯s house quickly turned into a loft-structured apartment.


    Nothing was banned in this exam room, so everyone had food reserves.


    While everyone brought out things to eat, Lin Xinghe also took out a self-heating small hot pot from her portable space.


    Lin Xinghe told Xiao Xue Ji about the last exam room.


    She said, ¡°¡­The environment in the last test room was dangerous, but we still had a simple hot pot meal. After the competitive test room is over, Mommy will cook you a delicious hot pot.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Leiting also nodded.


    Fu Zhou knew what Leiting was thinking¡ªhow to make hot pot for Xiao Xue Ji.


    He sighed. With Leiting¡¯s naive strength, if Xiao Xue Ji wanted to eat snake meat, it would throw itself into the pot and stew in minutes.


    It was also at this time that Xie Wuan, who had been silent, set up a table and brought out the hot pot.


    He had a lot of hot pot bases in his carry-on space.


    He said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°It¡¯s just hot pot¡ªyou can eat it whenever you want and don¡¯t have to wait for the end.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought on a whim, ¡°Can it be turned into a big pot?¡±


    She gestured and said, ¡°This big.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°It¡¯s not difficult.¡±


    He clapped. The ordinary pot became several times larger and was divided into four grids with tomato soup, mushroom soup, spicy numbing soup, and pork belly chicken soup bubbling separately.


    Everyone contributed their own ingredients, gathered around a large round table, and began to happily cook the hot pot.


    Audience: Oh! They started eating hot pot again!


    Fu Zhou: Wait, was it an illusion? Xianjun was a bit like his silly mount?

 CH 134

    Fu Zhou saw through Xie Wuan, and the audience could see through him even more clearly.


    But compared to Fu Zhou¡¯s shock, the audience was very calm.


    Strictly speaking, since Xie Wuan agreed to form a team with Lin Xinghe, entered the first competitive examination room, followed Lin Xinghe¡¯s advice over and over again, and changed his personal examination style, Xie Wuan¡¯s icy impression was broken.


    Later, in the second competitive examination room, Lin Xinghe clarified the ambiguity between the two and expressed that she had no intention of liking him. Xie Wuan was silent for a long time. The next day, he gave her a gift and began to stick to her like glue. He also obeyed her words. Xie Wuan¡¯s gangster style had disappeared.


    In this competitive examination room, Xie Wuan was no longer obedient to Lin Xinghe. Even though his body language and eyes were still trying to maintain his usual high-cold demeanor, he couldn¡¯t hide his emotions. Everyone could see it with the naked eye. Xie Wuan¡¯s affection towards Lin Xinghe¡¯s affection was increasing little by little, although he probably didn¡¯t know it himself and thought that others didn¡¯t know either.


    So when Lin Xinghe expressed her desire to eat hot pot, most of the audience was not surprised that Xie Wuan would prepare hot pot for Lin Xinghe.


    After all, the bosses of the past had an increasing tendency to become Lin Xinghe¡¯s devotees.


    Check it out!


    The boss took a bite, then glanced at Lin Xinghe and pretended to be indifferent. But when Lin Xinghe choked on something, he immediately filled her cup with water using immortal magic.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s audience was quite lively. Everyone was counting how many seconds it would take before Xie Wuan would look at Lin Xinghe. They calculated that at least once every ten seconds, Xie Wuan¡¯s eyes would definitely pass over Lin Xinghe. In those ten seconds, he would also give Xiao Xue Ji some food, so that Leiting, who was behind Xiao Xue Ji, could only watch with aggrieved eyes.


    Lin Xinghe, the party involved, was engrossed in eating hot pot and did not pay attention to Xie Wuan¡¯s movements.


    She seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn¡¯t even realize that Xie Wuan filled her glass.


    By the time their hot pot feast concluded, it was getting late.


    Everyone went back to rest.


    Everyone had been busy all day, and now there was a slightly safer place as the base camp with bosses watching them, so most of the students had fallen asleep in peace.


    It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe quietly got up.


    She put on the invisibility cloak, and with the help of Xiao Xue Ji, left the base camp.


    She didn¡¯t make Xiao Xue Ji become a big cat. After all, she learned a lesson from the past. This planet did not welcome alien cats. The orange cat called the police in the pet store before. Although there was no orange cat here, there were still other cats living there.


    Under the premise that they were completely overpowered by these cats, she was not at ease to let Xiao Xue Ji try this dangerous act again.


    She put Xiao Xue Ji into her personal space. When she was about to lift off on her magic broom, she heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Where does she want to go?¡±


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t she call me?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look. There was nothing behind her¡ªno one was there.


    She whispered softly, ¡°Xianjun?¡±


    Xie Wuan responded to her: ¡°Mm.¡±


    Also at this time, another voice rang out: ¡°I am also here.¡±


    ¡°And I.¡±


    -The voices of Jiuge and Fu Zhou.


    ¡°cough.¡±


    This voice belonged to Qi Qing.


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised. She could understand Xie Wuan following her, and Jiuge and Fu Zhou joining in the fun, but didn¡¯t Qi Qing have social anxiety? What was he doing out here?


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°What are you doing out here with me instead of sleeping?¡±


    Jiuge said, ¡°I want to see what you are doing.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°Aren¡¯t we in the same team? Are you going to do something big quietly?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal, I just want to see the world.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Since everyone has already come, just tag along with me.¡±


    Lin Xinghe flew out of the window on her magic broom.


    The orange cat lived in a remote area. Looking down from a high place, all one could see was pitch black. If it weren¡¯t for the moonlight tonight, she might not have had any visibility at all.


    The residence picked by the orange cat was very similar to human buildings because every house in this building had windows, while the cat buildings seen in the bustling central area were almost all giant boxes with holes in random places¡ªnot a window could be found.


    Lin Xinghe rode a magic broom around the building and said, ¡°There are some windows without curtains. Since you all came here, do me a favor¡ªgo and see which cat¡¯s house has a computer. .¡±


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to see the world?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°The technology here has developed to the point where there are flying machines. Who would see the world in person?¡±


    Fu Zhou could not refute this.


    Lin Xinghe immediately arranged tasks for everyone and divided the group into five to find a computer that could be used.


    Not long after, Xie Wuan found a house with a computer and a lack of cats on the seventh floor.


    The five people flew in through the window.


    They had all seen the orange cat turn on the computer in the same way they turned on the computers at the villain school. Soon, the computer was turned on.


    The computer did not have a passcode.


    At that time, she was far away from the orange cat and couldn¡¯t see the computer screen clearly, but now the computer screen was right in front of her eyes, the contents were clearly displayed.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly startled.


    After a while, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Although this system says iOS 832, it looks exactly the same as the iOS10 from the world I¡¯m ¡°from¡±¡­ I think there is something off with the setting of this world. The cats are able to have interstellar dogs and zergs as pets, so logically speaking, this should be a highly developed world, but living standards and convenience conditions have not greatly improved. If you disregard the aircraft in the sky, there isn¡¯t much difference in the level of social science and technology between this place and the world of the modern department¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe had been to highly developed worlds where there were also flying machines, and the various living facilities had a sense of advancement, which was instantly distinguishable from modern society.


    She didn¡¯t know if it was due to the reversal of identities between cats and people, but there was a slight sense of inconsistency in the details of the setting.


    However, the more inconsistent the world was, the more excited Lin Xinghe became.


    She snapped her fingers and said, ¡°Camera, on me. Professor Lin is online again!¡±


    ¡°¡­I have a new speculation about the inference of the novel world. Although the protagonists and character roles of the novel world are key, the setting of the entire novel is also a very important part. Every examination room is a novel world, and it has its own background¡­ Because the novels of our exam rooms are probably artificially created, and the skill of the authors isn¡¯t consistent, there were many predictable clich¨¦s in previous exam worlds.¡±


    ¡°¡­In this world¡­ Well, I believe that many students have experienced sci-fi examination rooms. Seeing this examination room, doesn¡¯t your little brain hold a big doubt? How can there be flying machines and yet the living facilities of the world of the modern department? It seems that the sense of inconsistency is particularly strong? When you encounter an exam room like this, and there is no plot to support such a random setting, congratulations, there is a high probability that you ran into a shoddy examination room whose author is second-rate!¡±

 CH 135

    Lin Xinghe typed on the gargantuan keyboard while riding her magic broom.


    It was like she was on a giant chessboard. She used her feet in place of her fingers to type information on the keyboard.


    The input method in the computer was also the standard pinyin* input that Lin Xinghe was familiar with.


    *TL Note: pinyin is one of the phonetic ways of representing Chinese characters that allows people to input them.


    Lin Xinghe said while typing, ¡°Last time, I told you that after entering the examination room, you can start with the protagonist. The theme of this lesson is to detail different methods to explore the examination room.¡±


    ¡°¡­I have already deduced before that our examination room is a novel world. Have you ever thought about how the world in each examination room came to be? If so, congratulations, you are no longer the same as before. You¡¯ve realized the light!¡±


    ¡°I have been thinking¡ªthe school has so many examination rooms, and each examination room is different. We also know that an examination room is a novel, so where do these novels come from? Since there are novels, there must be authors. Where did the authors come from? Did they create the novels, and did the novels generate the examination rooms?¡±


    ¡°¡­Why do I say it was created by people? Everyone knows that each author has his own style. In the process of creation, an author will unconsciously have their own way of expression. When the work is transformed into scenes, the author¡¯s style might be more subtle, but the scenarios will definitely retain the author¡¯s writing habits, and these writing habits are affected by their personal lives, learning environments, and experiences. For example, if the author herself likes to eat hot pot, then it¡¯s likely for her works to have scenes of eating hot pot, or the protagonist to have the character trait of loving to eat hot pot¡ªthe preference for eating hot pot is exactly the same as the author¡¯s herself. I watched many classmates¡¯ livestreams and it¡¯s pretty obvious that the preferences of some characters overlap even in different exam worlds.¡±


    ¡°¡­This is also one of the reasons why I speculate that this is the work of humans. It is very likely that the novel worlds in these specific test rooms are all written by the same author. But one person can only write so much. We have too many test rooms. They are all unique, so there is definitely not only one author who creates our examination rooms. Everyone¡¯s creative level and style are also different. So, I speculate that the school has a professional creative team that specializes in creating novels to generate examination rooms for us. However, it¡¯s also possible that the school is willing to accept submissions from the creators of different planes and adapt them into acceptable examination rooms.¡±


    ¡°This goes back to the topic I just talked about. I think this exam room is a bit shoddy, and the setting is quite inconsistent¡­ I believe that the school definitely noticed this, but the exam room was still created, which is enough to illustrate that this is a novel that is good enough for the school to ignore some subtle inconsistencies. Besides, this is already the third competitive examination room, and the difficulty will only be greater than the first two. It is impossible for Principal Wang to be so kind to let me pass the third one easily¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe pressed the last button, raised her head, and smiled into the camera, ¡°Do you know why I dare to be so arrogant? I know that Principal Wang is watching my livestream, but I don¡¯t care at all¡­ I¡¯ll just say it outright. Principal Wang wants to kill me, but the way he chose was to arrange me in harder examination rooms one after the other in an attempt to make me die in the examination room, instead of choosing to assassinate me at school. What does this mean? He is not in charge of life and death, and he is also bound and restricted by certain rules, so he cannot directly kill us but can only try to arrange our deaths in the examination rooms¡­ Proof? Xianjun is still alive so far.¡±


    She said, ¡°Principal Wang, am I right?¡±


    The students watching Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream were dumbfounded.


    But they were more stunned that Lin Xinghe could formulate these rules than they were about the rules themselves.


    If there was no other evidence of these inferences in the previous novels, let alone people¡¯s experiments in other examination rooms after Professor Lin¡¯s first class, at this moment, they must think that Lin Xinghe was pulling stuff out of her ass.


    However, they tested it.


    Most people used the novel inference test method in other test rooms, and it really worked. All of a sudden, the difficulty of test rooms was reduced by at least two degrees, and they got many more points.


    When they passed more and more exam rooms in this alternative way, more and more students noticed the clues of how the villain school operated, and a small number of students like Lin Xinghe completely awakened.


    Therefore, when Lin Xinghe made such an inference, there were no objections in the chat-


    ¡¾SL is really awesome! ¡¿


    ¡¾She can even come up with this! Really attentive! ¡¿


    ¡¾So, as long as you are good enough, you can mock Principal Wang wildly in examination rooms? ¡¿


    ¡¾Yup! Principal Wang can¡¯t kill us directly anyways! As long as you have the ability, why not laugh at him! If it weren¡¯t for Principal Wang, would we need to risk our lives to fight for points? ¡¿


    ¡¾Promoting SL! She¡¯s awesome! ¡¿


    ¡¾Raising my hands and feet to agree with Xie Wuan as the man behind SL! ¡¿


    ¡¾Envious face: Xie Wuan, what great things did you do to become the man of the leader! ¡¿


    ¡­


    Principal Wang himself didn¡¯t see these barrages, and he wasn¡¯t watching Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream. Naturally, he didn¡¯t know that Lin Xinghe had started mocking him again.


    If there were ratings for examination rooms, Principal Wang would give this one SSS difficulty.


    After he chose this exam room, he hurried to deal with other things.


    He was quite confident in this examination room.


    He even thought that Lin Xinghe would be taken care of when he got back, and he didn¡¯t need to rack his brains for ways to get rid of Lin Xinghe anymore.


    After all, in that exam room, Principal Wang felt that if he didn¡¯t understand the story in advance, there was a high probability that he himself would not be able to get out.


    Principal Wang gave a comprehensive assessment to the students inside, and the probability of them being wiped out was as high as 99%.


    Although he would lose a lot of students, as long as he could kill Lin Xinghe, he didn¡¯t care about the other losses.


    He was going to deal with the mess that Lin Xinghe had made.


    In the last examination room, because of Lin Xinghe, many people were awakened. According to rough statistics, in addition to the protagonist group, there were some NPCs and even a few zombies who started thinking for themselves. There were dozens of people in total.


    Lin Xinghe and the others ate and drank in that exam room as if they were on vacation. After the exam room ended, they left a mess. No exam room had ever had so many awakened individuals. If there were only one or two, it would be easier to deal with. Now, the system detected a bunch of people, including the severely awakened NPC Qin Yan, who tried to escape the system¡¯s detection but was finally caught.


    The system notified Principal Wang.


    Principal Wang had to put down the livestream to deal with this matter, but just in case, he still recorded Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream. When he finished dealing with those troublesome awakened beginners, he could still enjoy the deaths of Lin Xinghe and the others.


    When Lin Xinghe died, he would have to deal with other rebellious students who had been led astray by Lin Xinghe. Thinking about it, there were still a lot of things to do. Principal Wang felt that this year¡¯s year-end vacation would be canceled.


    Thinking of this, Principal Wang¡¯s hatredfor Lin Xinghe deepened.

 CH 136

    Principal Wang left the school.


    After leaving the school gates and passing through the dome-like barrier, a mechanical sound sounded¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Verification passed.¡±


    Principal Wang walked through a white corridor and opened a huge door.


    There was a vast expanse of white inside, and a little girl the size of a palm was floating in the air.


    She wore a smoky pink dress and smiled sweetly. She had two small dimples on her face. When she saw Principal Wang, she whipped a wand out of nowhere, waved it in the air, and immediately zapped a whole wall of high fluctuation data into existence.


    She looked like a little sweet girl, but her tone was mechanical and emotionless.


    ¡°Initial Person Numbers 0089, 0095, 0674, 0888, 0956, 1087, 2014 have been detected to exhibit awakening behavior. The automatic restoration program has been executed.¡±


    ¡°0089 succeeded, 0095 succeeded, 0674 succeeded, 0888 failed, 0956 failed, 1087 succeeded, 2014 succeeded.¡±


    ¡°Initial Person Numbers 0089, 0095, 0674, 1087, and 2014 have been put into the novel world for a second round of detection, and the awakening behaviors have been deleted.¡±


    ¡°Initial Person Numbers 0888, 0956 have been sorted through a strong restoration procedure, 0888 succeeded, 0956 failed.¡±


    ¡°Initial Person Number 0888 has been sorted into a novel world for a second round of detection, and the awakening behavior has been deleted.¡±


    ¡°Initial Person Number 0956 has been sorted into the memory reorganization program, 0956 succeeded.¡±


    ¡°Initial Person Number 0956 has been sorted into a novel world for a second round of detection. There are still some awakening behaviors, and the system determines that it cannot be cleared. It is recommended that the host open the villain school mode.¡±


    If it were in the past, it would have been fine to turn on the villain school mode, but now that Lin Xinghe had not been dealt with, the school was no longer suitable for admitting any new students.


    New freshmen had weak willpower. If they watched Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream and heard her dangerous remarks, they were prone to deep awakening.


    Principal Wang looked at the little girl in the air and said impatiently, ¡°It¡¯s been so many years, haven¡¯t you upgraded yet?¡±


    ¡°This system cannot be upgraded for the time being.¡±


    Principal Wang took a deep breath.


    ¡°Even if you can¡¯t upgrade, can¡¯t you just kill them?¡±


    The data wall disappeared, replaced by a dense page of rules and regulations. From the few words in bold and enlarged, the little girl read, ¡°This system abides by the above rules, first, obey the rules set by the creator; second, human individuals must not be killed in any way. If the rules are violated, the system will initiate a self-destruction program.¡±


    Principal Wang asked, ¡°You have no other way?¡±


    System: ¡°There is. If the host replaces the creator and changes the rules, or if the host finds a way to upgrade the system, I can try to crack it myself, but the consequences are at your own risk.¡±


    Principal Wang said, ¡°What¡¯s the difference between saying that and not saying that?¡±


    System: ¡°It is recommended that the host make a decision as soon as possible. Once the awakening behavior of Initial Person Number 0956 expands, the consequences will be unimaginable. It¡¯s estimated that this will cause more than one-third of the Initial Persons to awaken, and this system will not be able to handle it.¡±


    Principal Wang gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Start the villain school mode.¡±


    System: ¡°Executing, please don¡¯t leave, host.¡±


    The progress bar went up quickly.


    After going from 1% to 100%, the system said, ¡°It has been activated, successfully deleted the mind-reading skills of the third world, successfully deleted the fire magic skills of the fourth world, successfully deleted the qi arts skills of the fifth world, successfully deleted the stealth skills of the eighth world¡­ The water ability skills of the ninth world failed to delete, the water ability skills of the ninth world failed to delete again, the water ability skills of the ninth world could not be deleted. 0956 is suitable for entering the fantasy department.¡±


    A human body with no facial features and no sex indicators appeared in the air.


    There was a number 0956 on it.


    System: ¡°Please authorize the reorganization of the memory plate and choose the new settings.¡±


    Group after group of new settings appeared in front of Principal Wang.


    He flipped through it leisurely and finally chose a character¡ª


    Lin Zicheng, male, twenty-nine years old, urban supernatural villain, loves the heroine but can¡¯t get her, hurts the hero again and again, and finally dies under the hero¡¯s thunder-type ability.


    Principal Wang said, ¡°That¡¯s it.¡±


    System: ¡°Setting up the memories. Host, please wait for 20 minutes.¡±


    At this time, the little girl waved her wand again, and the other half of the window appeared in the air.


    In the window was Principal Wang¡¯s income for the past seven days, divided into two columns.


    One column was the immersive experience revenue, and the other column was the livestream revenue from the Dark Star Region.


    On the wealthy ZH18 star, the per capita monthly salary was only 20,000 star coins, while Principal Wang¡¯s immersive experience income reached as high as 6 million star coins in just seven days.


    However, it was still far from the livestream revenue of the Dark Star Region.


    The seven-day livestream revenue of the Dark Star Region reached 60 million, of which 40 million was from examination room livestreams and 20 million was from campus livestreams.


    The system added, ¡°Lin Xinghe is the one with the strongest momentum recently. Lin Xinghe¡¯s personal performance in the apocalypse examination room brought a revenue of five million star coins to the host. Those freshmen you sponsored didn¡¯t make a fraction of what she did. In addition, according to the feedback from the viewers of the Dark Star Region¡­¡±


    The system directly logged into the Dark Star domain and showed Principal Wang a voting poll¡ª¡ª


    A request to install a few more invisible high-definition cameras in the bedrooms and bathrooms of the villain school.


    Seconded.


    Opposed.


    In such a gray area, there was almost no objection, and everyone seconded. The comments below were full of obscene language, and there were even multi-dimensional evaluations of the body parts of popular students.


    Principal Wang said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, the higher the resolution, the less interested they are. Only censorship can hook the hearts of the audience to the greatest extent.¡±


    Principal Wang didn¡¯t take this to heart. His eyes fell on the proportion of the livestream revenue of the Dark Star Region. Lin Xinghe¡¯s name accounted for one-twelfth of his total revenue.


    This made Principal Wang have to admit that Lin Xinghe was indeed his golden goose. If she were not as smart and arrogant, he might have been reluctant to destroy her.


    It was a pity that if he didn¡¯t kill her, all the students in the villain school might undergo true awakening.


    By then, his kingdom would be in jeopardy.


    At this time, the system reminded, ¡°The setting delivery is complete.¡±


    Facial features, sex indicators, and a costume gradually appeared on 0956. He opened his eyes in confusion and seemed to be very shocked by the whiteness around him. He looked around, then looked down at his palm and clenched his fist.


    At this time, a scroll fell from the sky.


    He caught the scroll.


    At the same time, the surrounding whiteness disappeared, replaced by the cyberpunk gate of the villain school.


    As soon as he uploaded the character design, Principal Wang notified the teachers of the fantasy department.


    At this moment, a teacher from the fantasy department came out to pick up the new student.


    Lin Zicheng: ¡°Where is this?¡±


    The system closed the window and said to Principal Wang, ¡°The system has detected that the probability of a repeat awakening is 35%, and the probability of true awakening is 1%. It is recommended that the host arrange an examination room with a difficulty level of B or higher to kill 0956 early.¡±


    Principal Wang arranged it.


    At this time, he remembered when Lin Xinghe entered school, the system detected that the probability of a repeat awakening was 80%, and the probability of true awakening was 10%.


    He arranged an A difficulty exam room, thinking that the other freshmen candidates would kill her, and he did not expect that she would go all the way.


    If he had known this, he would have disregarded his face and arranged an SSSS-level examination room for her from the beginning so that the current situation would not be so difficult to control.

 CH 137

    While Principal Wang checked the system, the five people in Lin Xinghe¡¯s group were still in front of the computer.


    Lin Xinghe was the first to use the computer.


    While she was typing on her magic broom, the others came in, one after another.


    With her teammates, Lin Xinghe planned to divide and conquer the labor. Each person was responsible for an area of


    the keyboard, and she gave orders to up the typing speed.


    Jiuge expressed no opinion.


    Fu Zhou naturally had no objection.


    They were both used to working with Lin Xinghe.


    Qi Qing didn¡¯t respond, so Lin Xinghe assumed that he agreed.


    She looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t need to be so troublesome, and we don¡¯t need them. What you want to look up, just tell me. I can control a whole keyboard.¡±


    The cats on the planet of Bastet were ten times larger than humans, and their objects were naturally enormous.


    A keycap was just enough to accommodate Lin Xinghe¡¯s two feet.


    When Lin Xinghe saw that Xie Wuan had already flown to a higher place, she knew that with his ability, if he said he could, he must be able to do it. So she also got on her magic broom, flew to his side, and began to read off.


    Hovering atop his sword, Xie Wuan stood tall and straight. Every time Lin Xinghe said a letter, Xie Wuan flicked both hands. One bolt after another of shimmering light emanated from his palms and bounced on the keycaps.


    He was very familiar with the arrangement of the letters on the keyboard. Before Lin Xinghe finished speaking, the letters were already typed.


    Xie Wuan also manipulated the mouse to click on the webpage, copy and paste it into the document, and print the page from the high-end printer next to it. In the end, Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know what magic trick he used, but when it arrived in her hands, it was already a file of a suitable size.


    Lin Xinghe was a little stunned.


    ¡­ With Xie Wuan¡¯s efficiency, he must be very popular as a secretary!


    Jiuge, Fu Zhou, and Qiqing had already left the keyboard and flew behind them.


    Fu Zhou wanted to tease that the two of them had a tacit understanding, but Qi Qing nudged him with his elbow before he got the words out. He was slightly startled and looked at Qi Qing, but Qi Qing didn¡¯t look at him and rather quietly looked at the two who were typing in the air.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Xianjun, you type very neatly! It¡¯s a little¡­¡±


    She hesitated, not knowing how to describe it.


    Xie Wuan, ¡°Hm?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was still thinking about how to describe it, but Xie Wuan added another sentence and asked, ¡°A little what?¡± He usually looked cold and indifferent, and his tone was rarely emotional, but he was full of inner drama. But since some time before, Xie Wuan¡¯s facial expressions had increased. For example, at this moment, she could see that his expression clearly stated that he cared about her unfinished words.


    It was at this moment that his inner voice came out¡ª¡ª


    ¡°A little what?¡±


    ¡°This illustrious one is a little what?¡±


    ¡°Why does she not speak?¡±


    Lin Xinghe coughed lightly and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m just a little surprised.¡±


    He immediately asked, ¡°Oh? What are you surprised about?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Xianjun, you belong to the xianxia department. I have never seen you use a computer before, so it feels strange to see you use it so efficiently .¡±


    Fu Zhou had been listening to the two of them, and when he heard Lin Xinghe say this, he echoed: ¡°I understand what Lin Xinghe means, but I have always felt that Xie Xianjun is a walking contradiction! After entering the villain school, everyone assimilated except you. Even your speaking habits retain the style of the xianxia world. Look. Qi Qing is from the ancient department. After entering the villain school, he picked up some living and speaking habits. Although he does not like to communicate with others and is also a loner, he understands school memes, and the social language in his catchphrase is so slippery! I have social anxiety, I only have my greatsword in my heart, no love, don¡¯t ship me and anyone together¡­Jiuge is the same. When he first entered the school, he always said, ¡®This Lord bequeaths honor upon you.¡¯ Now, though, he doesn¡¯t say it at all and has become more and more down-to-earth! But Xie Xianjun, you are different. I am also from the Xianxia world, so I admire you very much! It has been so many years, and you are still not affected by the outside world. It can be seen that your cultivation base, Xianjun, has been united between heaven and man, and secular affairs can no longer affect you.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Although Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t make any statement, she seemed to agree with Fu Zhou¡¯s words.


    He straightened his face and said, ¡°Really?¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Qi Qing said to Fu Zhou, ¡°Wasn¡¯t asking you.¡±


    Fu Zhou looked at it and realized that Xie Wuan was asking Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised. Fu Zhou said a long series of words, but Xie Wuan didn¡¯t have a word in his heart. If it were in the past, he would have denounced Fu Zhou scathingly.


    She noticed Xie Wuan¡¯s gaze and said, ¡°I think everyone has their own way of living. If you can¡¯t be influenced by the outside world, it shows that you are a person with a strong heart. As long as you don¡¯t hurt others, what¡¯s bad about living your own life? Besides, Xianjun, you also have the capital to live a different life from others. Most geniuses live differently from ordinary people. They are lonely, selfish, or eccentric, but as long as it doesn¡¯t hurt anyone, why bother caring about what other people think?¡±


    Xie Wuan did not speak.


    The web page finally loaded.


    Lin Xinghe asked Xie Wuan to search for the map of this planet.


    Everyone looked a little confused.


    This planet was far smaller than everyone assumed. It seemed huge, but the land that could be inhabited was miniscule, and it was surrounded by oceans on all sides.


    Lin Xinghe looked down at the document printed out in her hand, as if thinking about something.


    The files inside were all news.


    She entered the keywords ¡°princess¡± and actually found the information of three princesses on the Internet.


    The first was a human princess¡ªPrincess Anna, the daughter of Louis V. After humans became prisoners, all the royal family members in the castle except Princess Anna were executed, and Princess Anna became the captive of the cat king. There were only two reports on the news about Princess Anna. One was from more than 20 years ago. It recorded the life of Princess Anna after she became a prisoner. The king of cats loved Princess Anna, and Princess Anna¡¯s life as a prisoner was as luxurious as ever. The second article was from after the cat king¡¯s daughter took the throne, and it appeared that Princess Anna was not loved by the cat queen and was imprisoned instead.


    The second was the cat princess, the daughter of the cat queen, Yuanbao. The cat princess was the cat queen¡¯s favorite child, and there were overwhelming numbers of reports about the cat princess¡¯ life.


    The third was the alien cat princess. There were no news reports, only a few words mentioned in one of the life reports of the cat princess. The cat princess once claimed at a party that she was the most beautiful cat princess in the universe. She asked where the alien cat Elizabeth came from and wondered how she dared call herself a princess.


    She also typed in injury keywords in the news section and got some bits and pieces of news coverage.


    A cat was hit by a car and was seriously injured, bleeding all over the place, but a mysterious light healed it instantly.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°One day twenty-five years ago, a mysterious force made all cats huge and invincible. The mysterious light mentioned here is probably that mysterious force. The power can turn all cats into invincible bosses and immortals¡­¡±


    She flipped through other reports, and suddenly, her hand paused and said, ¡°No, if all cats are immortal, why do cat hospitals still exist?¡±


    She flipped through it again and said, ¡°Oh, I found something. A few male cats fought each other in order to snatch the right to have sex with a female cat. The female cat was angry and beat up all the male cats, who were then taken to the hospital.¡±


    There were also pictures in the article. Several male cats were beaten black-eyed, and some of their eyes were scratched out bloodily by claws.


    The mysterious light did not heal them.

 CH 138.1

    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes fell on the photo of the news report.


    The audience also read it and discussed it at length.


    ¡¾That is to say, the cats aren¡¯t invincible. Cats can hurt other cats, but the examinees cannot? If so, the exam prompt isn¡¯t too difficult, so this is a breakthrough. ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s still very difficult. There are only four words in the exam prompt, but there are three princesses. Who knows which princess the exam prompt is referring to? After all, Principal Wang¡¯s exam prompt is too ambiguous, and there are traps around every corner. ¡¿


    ¡¾Cats can attack cats, but that doesn¡¯t mean a cat will let another cat attack them. In this exam room, people are insignificant pets. Think about it for a second. If your pet asks you to kill someone, would you do so? ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s not impossible for them to unite with alien cats. ¡¿


    ¡¾Put simply, didn¡¯t you see that in this world, as soon as an alien cat showed up, the police cat appeared? Without a means of communication with the alien cats, they can be killed. ¡¿


    ¡¾I don¡¯t care much about that. What I care more about is the fact that this planet is too backward. Computers, keyboards, printers, and photos on news reports are similar to those used in our school. We are helpless because Principal Wang loves retro. But this exam room is really just like what SL said. There are many small details that don¡¯t fit the big background. The author of this novel might not have a good imagination¡­ maybe he is a person living in modern times. ¡¿


    ¡¾If it¡¯s not foreshadowing, then it is quite likely that the author is a modern person! ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­ Now do you all acquiesce that the examination room is a guise for a novel world? ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes! Thanks to Professor Lin¡¯s notes in the last exam room, I was able to get first place! I hugged the heroine¡¯s thigh tightly, as if I had opened my golden fingers, and the journey went smoothly. ¡¿


    ¡¾Have you ever thought that maybe we are the same as the NPCs in every exam room¡­¡¿


    ¡­


    The chat was silent for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt terrified.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe smiled her rule-breaking smile that everyone was familiar with and said, ¡°I have an idea.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked the question that the audience wanted to ask: ¡°What is it?¡±


    Lin Xinghe pointed at the map and said, ¡°There is only one continent on this planet, and their range of activities is all here. We can¡¯t beat them. There is no need to fight them here¡­¡± She drew a circle on the map and continued, ¡°I think this sea area is good. We can choose to open up another landmass here.¡±


    Her mind turned quickly, and she murmured, ¡°Among our classmates, I remember that there are more than one with earth magic abilities. If we ask them to create a continent for us on the sea, it should be doable. This place is still the cats¡¯ domain, and if we stay here, our movements will be limited and we won¡¯t be able to take the initiative to fight.¡±


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°Claim the sea to make a continent, right?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Xie Wuan announced, ¡°We don¡¯t need anyone else, I¡­ am enough.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°Then what do we need to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him, pondered slightly, and said, ¡°Go back to sleep.¡±


    Jiuge touched his hair and said cheerfully, ¡°Okay, goodbye.¡±


    Qi Qing looked at Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe and followed Jiuge.


    Seeing this, Fu Zhou also left.


    On the way back, he sighed to his audience, ¡°I can only lie down and win again. Originally, there was only Lin Xinghe on her own, and I could still contribute a little. Now, with Xie Wuan, he can attack, defend, and toil. They have one INT and one tank, which is simply a cheat in the villain school.¡±


    The audience said ¨C Stop! We can¡¯t even get into the winning team!


    After Qi Qing, Fu Zhou, and Jiuge left, Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan also planned to leave.


    Before leaving, Xie Wuan suddenly said, ¡°Wait a moment.¡±


    He cleared all of the search history on the computer.


    Then he said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Just in case, it¡¯s best not to leave any traces.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Xianjun, you¡¯re so careful.¡±


    Xie Wuan glanced at her. His eyes fell on her magic broom, and he asked, ¡°What is the speed of your magic broom?¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s magic broom was won by lottery from the magic potion stall owner. It was just a means of transportation, and the speed was naturally not comparable to that of professional tools. Last time in the Alpine Rimerose exam room, Jiuge gave her a ride. Hearing Xie Wuan¡¯s question, she immediately understood what he meant and said, ¡°Xianjun, can you give me a ride? Your immortal sword must be faster than my ordinary magic broom¡­¡±


    ¡°I can.¡±


    Xie Wuan said in his heart¡ª


    ¡°Fortunately, I was a step slower.¡±


    ¡°I wanted to say that I had a better magic broom and that I could give her one, but I never thought that she would want to share a sword with me¡­¡±


    ¡°In the end, I have no experience. Fortunately, I was a step slower.¡±


    Lin Xinghe used to think that Xie Wuan made a half-hearted pursuit of her in order to win a game and gain some face, but after she remembered most of the things of her awakening, she knew that Xie Wuan might not be trying to win the fight.


    This big idiot with no love experience really liked her, and he most likely didn¡¯t even realize it.


    Lin Xinghe gave Xie Wuan a thoughtful look.


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Come.¡±


    Lin Xinghe put away her magic broom, stood behind Xie Wuan, and said, ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s sword flew into the air.


    Lin Xinghe was not used to flying while standing, and because of the excessive speed, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Xie Wuan¡¯s clothes.


    When she grabbed the corner of his robes, Xie Wuan¡¯s flying speed immediately slowed down.

 CH 138.2

    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I think you can go faster. I can stand firm. If I can¡¯t stand firm¡­¡± Lin Xinghe asked softly, ¡°can I hold you?¡±


    The immortal sword suddenly braked in the air.


    But only for a moment.


    Xie Wuan continued to fly, and with a tone that even the deaf would know was eager, said, ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    Xie Wuan accelerated.


    Xie Wuan accelerated again.


    Xie Wuan accelerated yet again.


    Lin Xinghe listened to the sound of his heart¡ª


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you hug me!¡±


    ¡°Not fast enough!¡±


    ¡°Then faster!¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you hugging yet?¡±


    ¡°Faster¡­¡±


    She couldn¡¯t help but let out a smile.


    With her strength, no matter how fast Xie Wuan flew, as long as she tightened her core and steadied her dantian, she could stay still. It was just that now that Xie Wuan was like this, she felt like teasing him.


    She reached out her hand quietly, slipping over his waist, then wrapped her arm around his waist and slowly plastered her body to his back.


    The moment she hugged him, Xie Wuan immediately felt the softness of Lin Xinghe¡¯s body and smelled her sweet scent. Ever since he learned the sword-wielding technique, his flying had always been stable. Even if he flew through a celestial storm, he would be as stable and firm as a mountain, and the wind and the rain couldn¡¯t budge him one bit. But Lin Xinghe hugged him so gently, his qi was messed up, and he couldn¡¯t control the movement of his spiritual energy. The immortal sword suddenly fell down a full four or five meters.


    Lin Xinghe was taken aback by the crash-like accident. She hugged him tighter and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Xie Wuan grasped his spiritual energy, calmed his qi, and flew back to their original position. He said without changing his face, ¡°Nothing, I noticed that there was an aircraft nearby, so I avoided it.¡±


    Unexpectedly, his inner voice betrayed him¡ª¡ª


    ¡°¡­How can there be such a sweet and soft person in the world!¡±


    He added, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry, the sea area you have chosen is safe. According to my observation, there are no boats down there. Maybe it has something to do with cats disliking water. With my ability, it won¡¯t take long to create the continent. I¡¯ll try to finish within a shichen.*¡± He paused, then changed his mind and said, ¡°It will be completed within two hours.¡±


    *T/N: a shichen was an ancient Chinese measure of time. Two hours = 1 shichen.


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°Xianjun, you said a shichen. I know it means two hours.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°I know.¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly said, ¡°Do you care what Fu Zhou said?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Of course I don¡¯t care what he said.¡±


    Lin Xinghe heard the meaning behind the words. Such words were usually followed by a but.


    But Xie Wuan didn¡¯t say the second half of the sentence for a long time, and his heart remained quiet.


    After a long time, Xie Wuan suddenly asked, ¡°You call Rudolph Jiuge, why don¡¯t you call me Brother Xie*? Because I¡¯m not as down-to-earth as him?¡±


    *T/N: the title ¡°ge¡± means older brother, so here, Xie Wuan is asking Lin Xinghe to call him ¡°Xie-ge¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡­What? Does this man even get jealous of names?


    ¡°Of course not¡­¡± she said.


    Xie Wuan: ¡°In terms of popularity and fame, Rudolph is a fantasy boss, I¡¯m a xianxia boss, and I¡¯m the same as him. Why are you being so polite with me? You always call me Xianjun, but as soon as you met Rudolph, you called him Jiuge? Does his fear of baldness  make him down-to-earth?¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly burst out laughing and said, ¡°I suddenly feel that you are down-to-earth, are you jealous?¡±


    Xie Wuan denied it.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°If I call you Brother Xie, are you willing to admit that you are jealous?¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°I¡¯m not jealous, I¡¯m telling you the truth. We¡¯re all from the same team, you even call Qi Qing and Fu Zhou by name, but you only call me Xianjun, you¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly called softly and sweetly, ¡°Brother Xie.¡±


    Xie Wuan shut up.


    He hummed from his nose as a response. Anyone could see that he was happy, and even when he was working on the landmass, the corners of his mouth and brows were raised.


    At this time, the CP fans of Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe in the audience wished they could explode into fireworks to be their backgrounds.


    ¡¾Ahhhhhhhhh I¡¯m crying! My tears are falling like the rain in a storm! ¡¿


    ¡¾Ooooooh its so sweet, too sweet! ¡¿


    ¡¾After watching his streams all the way, Xie Wuan¡¯s transformation for love is so touching! ¡°I¡¯m the high and mighty Xianjun. There is nothing in this world that can move me, until I met you¡­ Goodbye, high and mighty! I am a man who wants to fall in love!¡± ¡¿


    ¡¾Are the shippers wearing a mega-clear filter? Why can¡¯t I see anything? ¡¿


    ¡¾We are celebrating the New Year, why are you party-pooping? If you can¡¯t see it, go see an eye doctor! Or donate to someone in need! ¡¿


    ¡¾Sisters, ignore the disturbances. Xie Wuan¡¯s eyes are all about Lin Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡¾Everything he sees is Xinghe! ¡¿


    ¡¾For the first time, I found that Xie Wuan is such a cute person! Being hugged by Lin Xinghe, he was so nervous that he crashed hahahaha! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, yes, so cute! ¡¿


    ¡¾Brother Xie! Brother Xie! Brother Xie! Shouting it out! Don¡¯t get jealous of Jiuge! Everyone calls Jiuge Jiuge! Jiuge¡¯s name is so long, who can remember it! ¡¿

 CH 139

    When the students who had slept all night in the orange cat¡¯s house woke up, everyone was drowsy, and Lin Xinghe, who pulled an all-nighter, sat on her magic broom and said, ¡°Classmates! We have a new base camp! It¡¯s daytime, and there are a lot of cats walking outside. If we fly together in the sky, we might be visible, and there may be aircraft higher up. Everyone turn on your invisibility and come with me! I will tie a red ribbon to the outside of my invisibility cloak, and you follow the ribbon!¡±


    Xie Wuan, who was standing next to Lin Xinghe, also pulled an all-nighter, but his complexion was better than ever.


    As an insider, Fu Zhou said quietly, ¡°Yesterday Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan went out to act alone, and they only returned at dawn.¡±


    A group of classmates heard the keywords ¡°alone¡± and ¡°back at dawn.¡± The ambiguity of their situation made everyone turn their attention to Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe turned to Xie Wuan and said, ¡°Brother Xie, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded slightly.


    The group of students widened their eyes.


    ¡­¡­what? What happened last night? Why did the two even change the way they called each other? Was there any secret they, the lucky live watchers, didn¡¯t know?


    The unlucky viewers in the audience said ¨C oh yes, last night was really exciting!


    The lucky live audience imagined themselves riding their own flying tools and following behind the two. Since entering this examination room, it was not that they were ignorant of Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan¡¯s subtle relationship, but it was the first time that it was as obvious as today. No one missed the fact that when Lin Xinghe called out to Xie Wuan, Xie Wuan couldn¡¯t hide the stars in his eyes.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s special effects were colorful and sparkling.


    Even Jiuge himself felt it.


    After all, Xie Wuan looked at him with a hint of complacency.


    Jiuge, who only loved his hair, couldn¡¯t understand it, and he didn¡¯t know what was so good about a night of forging a new continent.


    On the contrary, Qi Qing was more active than usual.


    Because of his invisibility, the students in the examination room did not know what Qi Qing was doing. Qi Qing¡¯s audience could only see Qi Qing¡¯s vision draw closer to the whispering students. They listened as the voices grew louder.


    Although they were in an exam room with invincible NPCs everywhere, all the classmates were very calm. At this moment, their gossiping and chatting almost made them seem like a group of students on a field trip.


    ¡°Hey, what do you think Boss Xie and Boss Lin were doing at sea in the middle of the night?¡±


    ¡°Boss Lin said that there is a new base camp, so she might have gone to the sea to find an uninhabited place.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think they had a sense of CP before, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I realize my youth and foolishness. I bet all of the shippers in the audience are very envious of our VVIP privileges now.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that so! The sea, the moonlight, a man and a woman. Remember, boss Lin has Mona¡¯s black magic potion, which lets her breathe underwater. Boss Xie can probably do that too. How romantic is the image pf the two of them walking on the seabed hand in hand? If I had known that this was going to happen, I wouldn¡¯t have slept so soundly last night and missed it!¡±


    ¡°The bosses secretly fell in love!¡±


    ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve shipped Jiuge and Lin Xinghe before, but now it seems that I¡¯m blind! I¡¯m still too young.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t plan to go to the next exam room. I want to be a slacker and use a magnifying glass to look at Boss Xie and Boss Lin. I want to be the first to savor the sweetness of their relationship!¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll take second place hahahahaha.¡±


    ¡­


    The shippers in the audience: ¡­ Tears of envy were shed. They also wanted to nth wheel and be carried by the two bosses to victory.


    The speed of the rest of the students naturally could not compare with the speed of Xie Wuan¡¯s sword.


    In order to allow everyone to keep up, Xie Wuan over halved his speed and flew slowly beside Lin Xinghe. Although he hadn¡¯t slept at all, he was in a good mood.


    Lin Xinghe was afraid that Xiao Xue Ji would be bored in the portable space, so she let her out too.


    Xie Wuan and Xiao Xue Ji chatted without stopping.


    The two were very close.


    However, the topic of conversation never stopped being Lin Xinghe.


    For example¨C


    Xiao Xue Ji asked, ¡°Is Xiao Xue Ji cute?¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Mm.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°Xiao Xue Ji is like Mommy.¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°Xiao Xue Ji is a little cutie, and Mommy is a big cutie.¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Makes sense.¡±


    Qi Qing¡¯s audience could hear it clearly because of Qi Qing¡¯s perspective and position.


    Some audience members asked quietly¡ª


    ¡¾That¡­ do any of you feel that Boss Qi¡¯s actions are like those of a hidden LinXie fan? ¡¿


    ¡¾Wait, when you say that, I realize it too! ¡¿


    ¡¾Think about it carefully! In the last room, Qi Qing had always done stuff himself, but when he met Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe, he agreed to form a team! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, yes! He even asked Lin Xinghe if Xie Wuan was next door! At that time, I thought that Boss Qi wanted to do something, but now it seems that having a room nearby was just convenient for couple-observation! ¡¿


    ¡¾There is still more! Do you remember what happened in the last exam room? Fu Zhou asked Lin Xinghe to talk, but he was taken away by Boss Qi! Thinking about it now, Boss Qi is a wingman! ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh my god, as soon as you said it, I also thought this is legit! He¡¯s also shipping them on the sidelines! ¡¿


    At this time, the two candidates who had been gossiping before were still chatting.


    After such a short journey, the two had already concocted a super-long sweet novel. Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan were married and had a child who called Xiao Xue Ji ¡°older sister,¡± and the family of four would face the examination rooms together.


    Hearing that Lin Xinghe said that the destination was approaching, both of them were very excited.


    ¡°Are we about to see the place where Boss Lin and Boss Xie confessed?¡±


    However, after arriving at the destination, Lin Xinghe pointed to the piece of land under her feet and said, ¡°Everyone can turn off their invisibility. It is very safe around here. Do you see the island below? This is what Brother Xie filled in yesterday. The result of our sea adventure yesterday night! Now it is our base camp! Everyone applaud! Thank you, Brother Xie, for your contribution to our examination room!¡±


    The two up-and-coming novelists: ¡­ what? Boss Xie, did you only fill the sea for a whole night and nothing else? Did you even confess?


    The others looked at Xie Wuan, who was visibly restraining himself but couldn¡¯t help but smile, and they were also shocked. They glanced at each other and confirmed their suspicions¡ª¡ª


    ¡­I never imagined that one day, Xie Xianjun, who was cold and above secular things, worked as a laborer all night, received light praise for it, and because of it grew so happy that his whole persona collapsed!

 CH 140.1

    Driven by Lin Xinghe, everyone applauded.


    At this time, Lin Xinghe cleared her throat and said, ¡°Now that we have a new base camp, the next thing on the agenda is to construct infrastructure. The great cause of construction is now yours! You can build whatever you want!¡±


    Thinking of something, she added, ¡°I know that you are most concerned about the exam prompt, but don¡¯t worry. I believe that in two days at most, we will make great progress. Now, it¡¯s time for your imagination and creativity. Change this island to your heart¡¯s desire! Students who don¡¯t have the relevant skills can take care of food issues. You can fish on the island or go to sea to fish. Feel free to act on your interests.¡±


    The classmates were all used to Lin Xinghe¡¯s exam style and had no doubts about her words.


    They left the dangerous giant cat continent behind, so everyone happily discussed how to shape the island.


    ¡°I can raise a forest!¡±


    ¡°I can distill seawater into fresh water!¡±


    ¡°Ah! Yes! I have a sand-type ability! Do you all like white sand? I can make some!¡±


    ¡°Oh! Let¡¯s build a vacation island! Anyway, we won¡¯t be staying in this exam room for long. It¡¯s going to be a week for an island vacation.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°Yesss!¡±


    ¡°Awesome!¡±


    ¡°I bought a black magic potion from Mona, so we can go diving! Does anyone know ice magic?¡±


    ¡°I can!¡±


    ¡°Can you make ice?¡±


    ¡°Yup!¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll catch more seafood, and you can freeze it.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes! I¡¯ll get some more ice cubes out. What is island life without frozen drinks?¡±


    ¡°We have twenty-three people. Let¡¯s build ten wooden houses along the edge of the island, with an average of two or three people per room!¡±


    ¡°Sounds good!¡±


    ¡°I agree!¡±


    ¡°I think it can be built in front of the white sand beach, and we can pile up some stones to raise the heights of the wooden houses! That way, when we open the door, all we can see is picturesque  white sands and blue seas!¡±


    ¡°Get some beach chairs on the beach!¡±


    ¡°Ah! Beach BBQ at night! Seafood feast! Lobster! Abalone! Crab! All kinds of fish!¡±


    ¡°Oooooh, I¡¯m hungry!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s do it quickly! Is there a group taking the dive? Raise your hands! Let¡¯s go to the sea together*!¡±


    *T/N: going into the sea is slang for someone quitting a normal job to become a sex worker


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you being too ambitious?!¡±


    ¡°Your mind is so dirty! It¡¯s just going to the sea in the ordinary sense! Do you still want to eat seafood?!¡±


    ¡°I do! I¡¯ll go to the sea with you, hee hee hee.¡±


    ¡°Count me in! If there are octopuses, I¡¯ll get you a big octopus. I¡¯ll make octopus sashimi for you, and I can even grill octopus. I have rice in my storage ring, and I can also make seafood congee.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°The sea team is gone, is there anyone in the wooden house team? I can build the foundations of the houses! But I have never made furniture¡­¡±


    ¡°When I get the wood, you can use the lumber from my woods to make some furniture.¡±


    ¡°Then I can! Count me in! I can do the beds, tables, and chairs!¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll be responsible for adding some flowers and plants for you!¡±


    ¡°I can help distill seawater!¡±


    ¡°Okay, then you and I are the freshwater team!¡±


    ¡°Then I will form a flower group by myself!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any skills, but I can help with cooking! I can also mix cocktails and make desserts!¡±


    ¡­


    The audience had to sigh with emotion¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾This is really the most harmonious examination room I have ever seen! ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes! There is no competition! Let¡¯s all get together and have a great vacation! I adore it! ¡¿


    ¡¾It seems that every examination room of SL is like this¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Speaking of it, SL has great charisma and excellent leadership skills. ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, she turned a giant cat exam room that was supposed to be full of blood into an Animal Crossing simulation. ¡¿


    ¡¾Do you also play Animal Crossing? Add me as a friend! Sell me cabbage! ¡¿


    ¡¾¡­I want to know more about how SL and the others will solve the prompt. ¡¿


    ¡¾Although it¡¯s not impossible to stay in this examination room for forever, but so far they haven¡¯t even seen the princesses¡¯ faces. ¡¿


    ¡­


    And just as everyone happily built the island, Lin Xinghe went to the other side of the island.


    Xiao Xue Ji turned into a ragdoll cat.


    Lin Xinghe asked Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°Can you become the size of that orange cat?¡±


    She swelled up little by little and stopped when she reached the height of a hadal ogre.


    Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s snow-white, fluffy tail flicked in the air, and she meowed aggrievedly.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry that it¡¯s hard on you.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji didn¡¯t admit defeat and tried again. She strained until her eyes were all bloodshot, but she still didn¡¯t get bigger and taller. Huffing, Xiao Xue Ji transformed back into a little girl.


    At this time, Xie Wuan suddenly said, ¡°Take a few more pills.¡±


    He held out a handful of medicinal pills.


    His nurturing behavior made the audience shout that he was acting like a dad.

 CH 140.2

    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°We¡¯ve already eaten one of your Jinwudan before, so it¡¯s inappropriate to take any more¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°It also takes up space in my storage. If you are afraid that you owe me favors, you can pay me back later.¡±


    At this time, Lin Xinghe heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice again¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Does she really think that Xiao Xue Ji entered my portable space by chance? How can cats and dogs enter my portable space? These medicinal herbs were prepared for Xiao Xue Ji.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice continued, ¡°If this counts as a favor, she owes me more than that. Without me bribing Old Qin and using blindfolding methods, Xiao Xue Ji could not have followed her out of the first examination room safely. Without my permission, Xiao Xue Ji would not have been able to walk around in my space, let alone eat the Jinwudan.¡±


    ¡°I thought that if she entered my portable space and saw those puppets, she would  awaken, but unfortunately, it didn¡¯t happen.¡±


    ¡°If we¡¯re talking about favors, the invisible cameras in her room were also replaced by me. Otherwise, with her strength when she first entered the school, she wouldn¡¯t have discovered the existence of them until much later.¡±


    ¡°Old Wang¡¯s mind is dirty and his head is full of the stench of copper*. The existence of invisible cameras means that there¡¯s another type of livestream.¡±


    *T/N: Copper was what old Chinese coins were made out of, so Principal Wang is addicted to money.


    ¡°When I accidentally saw her taking a bath, she was angry for a whole month. If she knew that people watched her showering every day, I¡¯m afraid that she would have gone crazy. This is a big favor¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­Also, she owes me a lot of favors, so she can only pay them back slowly.¡±


    ¡°¡­I don¡¯t mind if she pays over a period of a few years, ten years, or even decades.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought that Xie Wuan¡¯s secrets were his own business before, but now she didn¡¯t think so. She had to find a chance to be alone with Xie Wuan, avoid cameras, and talk privately.


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe also felt that she owed him so many favors that taking these few medicinal pills wouldn¡¯t matter.


    She said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll pay you back later.¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded slightly, gave the pills to Lin Xinghe, and said, ¡°Feed her what you want, the more medicinal pills the better. They won¡¯t react with each other or have side effects.¡±


    Lin Xinghe fed Xiao Xue Ji all of the pills one by one, and the eyes of the audience were all red with envy.


    After Xiao Xue Ji took the pills, she turned into a ragdoll cat again.


    She continued to expand little by little, and when she reached the height of a hadal ogre, she paused, then easily continued to grow and grow, and finally became as huge as the cats of this planet.


    Lin Xinghe waited for a while, then said happily, ¡°It seems that my guess is correct. This planet¡¯s system for detecting alien cats is not so perfect. It relies on public reports and the police¡¯s own detection. Cats don¡¯t like water, so there is almost no activity in the ocean. When we get to the ocean, they don¡¯t care about us, and there are no ocelots here. This makes everything much easier.¡±


    She glanced at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan said two words, ¡°Alien cat.¡±


    Lin Xinghe crinkled her brow in a smile and said, ¡°Yes!¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji was stuffed from taking the pills. She was full of energy at the moment, and in just a few minutes, she turned into a variety of animals, including a white dragon. She seemed to particularly like the form of the white dragon, as she stayed in the form and flew circles around the island a few times.


    The students who were constructing the island were startled at first when they saw the white dragon. Their eyes lit up¡ªthey wanted to eat roasted dragon meat. They didn¡¯t know it was Xiao Xue Ji until she spoke softly.


    It was no surprise to everyone that Xiao Xue Ji could turn into a white dragon.


    After all, Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s mother was Lin Xinghe. She couldn¡¯t surprise anyone anymore. Could the daughter of a woman with a three-meter dog head do anything less? Not to mention, boss Xie now looked like he would give up his life for one of boss Lin¡¯s smiles¡ªif Xiao Xue Ji became a planet, they would all think it normal.


    The only thing that didn¡¯t fit was the Leiting.


    Leiting had already accepted Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s transformation from a snake to a cat, but now Xiao Xue Ji had turned into a dragon! Snakes and dragons were originally from the same family, and snakes had subconscious awe when they saw dragons.


    Leiting, a dignified green snake with white goose wings¡­ the moment it saw the white dragon, it was so scared that it dug a hole in the soil with its head and crawled into it.


    The moment Xiao Xue Ji spoke, Lei Ting was struck.


    It crawled out, flapped its white goose wings, and followed behind Xiao Xue Ji.


    Then, everyone saw a little white dragon flying around the island, and behind the little white dragon was a big green snake with white goose wings. The two dashes of white and green, flying back and forth in the sky.


    The big green snake flew slower than the little white dragon, but it was also chasing the little white dragon hard, and it didn¡¯t stop for a moment.


    Everyone on the island: Today¡¯s Leiting is a snake that flies bravely for love!

 CH 141.1

    After Xiao Xue Ji was tired, she reverted into a little girl.


    Lin Xinghe picked her up and walked back to the other side of the island with Xie Wuan.


    After a short walk, they reconvened with their classmates, who had raised forests.


    In just one day, green plants took over the island.


    The classmate who built the forest used a lot of her magic power. At this time, she looked a little haggard, but there were no traces of tiredness in her shining eyes. She unscrewed a bottle of regeneration potion, and after drinking it, regained her spirits and said, ¡°According to your suggestion, I planted a third of the island with green plants, and I also planted a few coconut trees on the beach. Don¡¯t look at me knocking back the regen potion, with my strength, I can cover one-half of this island!¡±


    She pointed to the open space on the other side and said, ¡°I set aside the open space there, and no one else touched it.¡±


    As if thinking of something, she continued, ¡°By the way, Qi Qing is also in the woods. I know he has social anxiety, so I didn¡¯t say hello to him. He climbed a tree and stayed up there for the whole afternoon. I am not familiar with him, so I didn¡¯t dare to ask what he was doing¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Maybe he¡¯s cultivating martial arts¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan continued to walk forward.


    Xiao Xue Ji was tired from playing in the afternoon. She rested her head lay on Lin Xinghe¡¯s shoulder, and Leiting followed behind the two, and from time to time it tilted its head, showing a naive, serpentine smile.


    After passing through the woods, they could see the seaside.


    Ten wooden houses neatly encircled the white sands, and there were indeed a few coconut trees, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas on the dunes.


    It was already night.


    Jiuge and Fu Zhou¡¯s light props floated in the air, illuminating the entire beach as bright as day.


    Even so, some classmates started a bonfire.


    A student who was good at illusion magic also showed his excellent knowledge of natural phenomena of the night sky. From auroras to the Milky Way galaxy to the meteor showers, all kinds of extreme natural phenomena appeared one by one.


    On the other side of the bonfire, someone set up a stove, and people were cleaning all kinds of fish, shellfish, and shrimp with distilled freshwater.


    Someone saw Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan and shouted, ¡°We caught such a big king crab!¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked closer and saw that it was really big.


    The classmate said, ¡°I thought that the king crabs would grow as big as the cats, but I didn¡¯t expect them to be normal-sized¡­ Hey, if there were lobsters as big as the orange cat, we wouldn¡¯t even be able to finish one in a week!¡±


    The classmates around him nodded again and again and said, ¡°Such a big lobster, I¡¯m drooling just thinking about it! I¡¯m willing to fight the lobster boss and eat well!¡±


    On the other side, a classmate came over with a tray and asked Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan, ¡°Do you want a drink? There is fresh coconut juice and iced orange juice. The cocktails are still being prepared, so as of now there are only margaritas. By the way, there is also sago and iced milk tea; the milk tea can be hot or with coconut milk.¡±


    Lin Xinghe did not expect that they could complete the tasks so well.


    The classmates in this exam room were really talented. Under such conditions, they could actually make coconut milk tea, which was much beyond her expectations.


    She said, ¡°Frozen orange juice.¡±


    The classmate looked at Xiao Xue Ji and asked, ¡°Does Xiao Xue Ji want a drink?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji said, ¡°I want to drink milk tea.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Give her a cup of hot coconut milk tea.¡±


    Even though she knew that Xiao Xue Ji had a very good physique, she was still in a child¡¯s body, so she shouldn¡¯t consume too many cold drinks.


    The classmates looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Water will do.¡±


    The classmate nodded, handed Lin Xinghe the frozen orange juice, went to the side to make hot coconut milk tea, and poured Xie Wuan a glass of cold water.


    After Xie Wuan took it, he said, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The classmate was surprised.


    In the past, she would definitely not believe that Xie Wuan would be so approachable! Glancing at Lin Xinghe drinking frozen orange juice¡­ Although they had seen Boss Xie¡¯s persona collapse today, looking at it so closely now, it was still very startling. She couldn¡¯t help feeling ¨C oh, God, this was the power of love!


    After sipping at her drink, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Thank you for your contributions to our island. Our island has not been named yet. Do you have any suggestions?¡±


    The classmates chattered.


    Lin Xinghe gathered proposals for the name, and they went through the vote. In the end, ¡°Twenty-three¡± was the name with the most votes, representing the twenty-three candidates on the island.


    Twenty-Three Islands was officially released.


    Naming the island, combined with the fruits of a whole day¡¯s labor, created a collective sense of camaraderie.


    Lin Xinghe quietly preached her concepts to everyone present and the students watching the livestreams.


    She couldn¡¯t defeat Principal Wang on her own, and it was impossible to rely on just these 23 classmates alone.


    The awakening of more of the villain school students was needed.


    When one examination room after another collapsed, and the groups of cardboard insert characters awakened, the villain school couldn¡¯t go on.


    After naming the island, Lin Xinghe warned everyone, ¡°It¡¯s okay to drink, but don¡¯t go overboard. It¡¯s okay to relax, but keep your guards up¡­¡±

 CH 141.2

    Everyone looked at Lin Xinghe.


    When she said that, they thought that something must happen tonight.


    But no one was worried. Someone asked, ¡°What will happen tonight? What do we need to do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Do you know why I gave up my hard-earned orange cat apartment? I learned some information about this novel world from the computer in one of the complexes of that building¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe shared all the information she knew.


    The students were amazed.


    ¡°Three princesses?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, there are three princesses in this exam room. If we take it by the book, human princesses are more suitable for the question, but this is the third exam room in this competitive series, so it might not be that simple. Our top priority now is to get acknowledged on this planet¡­¡±


    After a while, she added, ¡°Considering the particularity of this novel world, we can¡¯t directly confront cats, but fortunately, I found an opening where I can break through. The native cats here can be slaughtered by alien cats. The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend. The cats here are not completely invincible. They are to us, but they can be killed by other giant cats¡­¡±


    ¡°I believe everyone has seen it in the pet store. When the illusion we fabricated was taken seriously by the orange cat, and it called the ocelot police. It can be seen that the cats of this planet are afraid of alien cats. And just this afternoon, I did an experiment. Xiao Xue Ji transformed herself into one of those giant cats, and her form lasted for nearly forty minutes. No native cats came over, which is enough to prove that the place we are now is safe. ¡±


    ¡°¡­The reason why we chose to build an island here is to welcome our friends, the alien cats. Since they are alien cats, they aren¡¯t from this planet. But if the native cats are so vigilant about alien cats, it means that the native cats have no means of keeping others out, or the alien cats have the technology to safely pass through the planet¡¯s atmosphere. Look at the map of this fictional world¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe gave Fu Zhou a look.


    Fu Zhou reacted and projected the world map in front of everyone with his mobile phone.


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°Look, there is only one continent on this planet, that of the native cats, and it is surrounded by oceans. We created an island out of thin air, and the alien cats will see this land appear from space. They are very likely to choose our land as their foothold. At that time, as the old saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. ¡±


    She smiled slightly and said, ¡°So, Twenty-Three Island, let¡¯s now wait for the arrival of the alien cat guests.¡±


    As predicted¡ª


    Just as the night fell, an aircraft called Behemoth approached Twenty-Three Island.


    The others, who were ready, sat or stood on their own flying tools, while Lin Xinghe sat on the head of Xiao Xue Ji, who had turned into a big ragdoll cat.


    The door of the aircraft opened.


    An American Shorthair with sharp eyes jumped down, and there two more heads stuck out of the aircraft. One of them was an American Shorthair who didn¡¯t look at the people. Instead, it looked at the sea curiously and cautiously, shrank a little, then opened its mouth again, licked its paws, and tilted its head again. As if frightened by its own paws, it shrank back.


    The other was a pastoral cat, eyeing everyone below.


    Lin Xinghe held a loudspeaker and said, ¡°Welcome to Twenty-Three Island.¡±


    The sharp-eyed American Shorthair looked at Lin Xinghe, and the first sentence it said was, ¡°You are not from this planet. Who are you?¡±


    Lin Xinghe sported a familiar smile, ¡°Friend, do you want to cooperate?¡±


    Before waiting for the American Shorthair to reply, Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why you want to explore this planet, I know you must have your purpose. The Cat Queen can¡¯t tolerate you, and she will kill you all if you go to the other continent. I believe you must have exhausted your methods, otherwise Planet Bastet would be dominated by you¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­If you are willing to cooperate with us, we are willing to open up a continent for you to enter the Bastet continent.¡±


    American Shorthair looked at Lin Xinghe heavily.


    ¡°What bargain chips do you have?¡±


    Lin Xinghe began to introduce her team, ¡°These are my companions, and they are all prodigies. I believe you have noticed that this island appeared overnight, otherwise you would have seen it before. What kind of leverage do you think we have in building an island like this overnight?¡±


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°You are at the end of your rope now and can¡¯t come up with other solutions. Why not give it a try? Choose to cooperate with us, and we will pave the way for you.¡±


    The American Shorthair looked at the island briefly, then at Lin Xinghe, and at the flying tools under the other people. Finally, its eyes fell on Xiao Xue Ji, and there was a hint of disgust in its sharp eyes.


    Lin Xinghe picked up on it and said to Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°Let¡¯s become human.¡±


    She took out the magic broom and flew in front of the American Shorthair. Xiao Xue Ji, who turned into a little girl, also sat on the broom and stretched out her little hand to hold Lin Xinghe¡¯s waist firmly.


    The American Shorthair seemed a little surprised.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Our strength is far greater than just this.¡±


    The American Shorthair asked perceptively, ¡°What are your demands?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°When we carve a way for you to invade, you can help us take back the princess.¡±

 CH 142.1

    The sharp American Shorthair¡¯ eyes changed slightly, and it asked, ¡°What is the relationship between you and Princess Anna?¡±


    Lin Xinghe blinked without blinking and smoothed over an explanation.


    ¡°As a human being, I can¡¯t accept the status quo of this planet. Princess Anna is now imprisoned in the castle¡¯s prison, such humiliation! I can¡¯t just sit back and watch! It¡¯s not for me to decide. Seeing our honorable Princess Anna fall to such a desolate state, I must rescue her! I want to give her the last honor!¡±


    She said it loudly, with sincerity and gravity, bearing an appearance as though she would battle a sea of fire for the princess.


    Thinking of something, she added, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, after we rescue the princess, we will not prevent you from occupying this planet. The continent is for you, we only need the ocean. As long as we rescue the princess, we will stay away from the Bastet Continent and never step foot on your land again!¡±


    The audience was laughing uncontrollably-


    ¡¾The little cat is so cute! SL, why are you deceiving it! ¡¿


    ¡¾Kitty, run! SL wants to capture the human princess, the cat princess, and your alien cat princess! ¡¿


    ¡¾Quick! run! ¡¿


    However, contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations, including Lin Xinghe, the sharp-eyed American Shorthair began to cry. It said with a trembling voice, ¡°You are a good person.¡±


    Everyone: ? ? ?


    Lin Xinghe said without changing her expression, ¡°You are mistaken.¡±


    The sharp American Shorthair said again with tears in its eyes, ¡°I am Prince Carl, the fianc¨¦ of Princess Anna.¡±


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡­¡­What? Where did the fianc¨¦ pop out from?


    Lin Xinghe was also very surprised. There was too little information about the old era Bastet. She only knew from the mouths of those feral people that after the giant cats occupied the planet, they killed all of the royals except Princess Anna. Where did Prince Carl come from? And as an American Shorthair?


    However, the American Shorthair, who called himself Prince Carl, told a story that shocked everyone even more.


    There were originally two countries on this planet. Princess Anna was of one, and Prince Carl of the other. Princess Anna and Prince Carl met in a garden under a full moon, and the two gradually fell in love. The kings of the two countries negotiated a wedding date, but one day before the wedding date, a mysterious light enveloped the entire sky, and all the cats became giant cats.


    Princess Anna¡¯s ragdoll cat Wang Cai became the leader of the cats, unified the two countries, and executed all the royal family members, including Prince Carl.


    But God had mercy. Although Prince Carl died, ten years later, his soul crossed to the small planet next to Bastet, and he became an American Shorthair.


    The cats on the next planet were also awakened by this mysterious light, growing huge and gradually ruling the planet.


    It took Prince Carl several years and copious schemes to become the king of the next planet.


    He ordered the whole population to study aviation technology, the goal being to capture the next-door Bastet and take back his Princess Anna. But the Cat Queen somehow learned of his plan and destroyed his deployments time and time again, making it impossible for his people to set foot on Bastet Continent.


    Prince Carl knew that Princess Anna was imprisoned. He was anxious and at wit¡¯s end, but he couldn¡¯t set foot on Bastet because they had developed a system to detect alien cats. All cats on Bastet had to apply for a citizen ID card, and cats without them would have the ocelot police called on them and eliminate them in five minutes flat.


    Prince Carl despaired. He always wished to save Princess Anna, but he never could. Now that he saw an island had appeared overnight, he didn¡¯t care about the danger. He even unexpectedly met a fanatical fan of Princess Anna, which made Prince Carl ecstatic.


    Lin Xinghe and others never expected this novel to have such a bloody yet heartrending backstory.


    When Prince Carl learned that Lin Xinghe was a fan of Princess Anna, his attitude changed greatly, and he said, ¡°Let¡¯s cooperate. Princess Anna is the love of my life, and I am willing to face anything for her. I would sacrifice my life for her, give my everything for her!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°You can call me Carl, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°My name is Lin Xinghe.¡±


    At this moment, the little American Shorthair, who was poking out its head from the aircraft, shouted, ¡°Father, can I come down?¡±


    Prince Carl said, ¡°Yes, but remember what I said?¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°I remember, we can¡¯t hurt humans. Humans are our good friends. Without humans, I can¡¯t be a princess.¡±


    The little American Shorthair jumped from the aircraft.


    The pastoral cat who had been watching it shouted, ¡°Princess Elizabeth, be careful! You can get hurt!¡±

 CH 142.2

    Little American Shorthair: ¡°No way, I¡¯m good at jumping!¡±


    The little American Shorthair ran to Prince Carl¡¯s side, rubbed her head against Prince Carl¡¯s body, obediently lay on the ground with her paws in the air, and raised her fluffy head. His black eyes were full of tenderness.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°¡­This is your daughter?¡±


    Prince Carl said, ¡°Yes, she is two years old, and her mother is also an American Shorthair.¡±


    Crowd: ¡­ eh? Prince, didn¡¯t you just say that the princess is the love of your life! Why did you turn around and have a daughter with another cat!


    As if aware of the other students¡¯ conceptions, Prince Carl laughed and said without changing his face, ¡°You know, this is a cat¡¯s instinct, I can¡¯t do anything when I¡¯m¡­ in rut¡­ I can only¡­ do it¡­¡± He continued, ¡°If you understand cats, you know that this is their nature, and I have become the master of a country from a commoner cat. Without the support of local forces, this would be impossible.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Do you only have one daughter?¡±


    Prince Carl sighed and said, ¡°Maybe I¡¯m destined to have only one daughter. Every time I have mate with other female cats, the conception is successful. But every time the female cat gives birth, no matter how many kittens there are, all of them die. Even when Elizabeth¡¯s mother was pregnant, she gave birth to six children, and only Elizabeth survived. Every pregnancy after that was stillborn.¡±


    Prince Carl sighed again.


    Lin Xinghe looked at Prince Carl thoughtfully, and then at little American Shorthair Princess Elizabeth.


    Prince Carl only had one princess, the little American Shorthair in front of them.


    Now, the little American Shorthair was on their island, and the proctor didn¡¯t respond, so this alien cat princess was probably not who they were looking for. According to the the prompt, the most difficult princess to find should be the Princess Yuanbao of the native cats.


    Could that Princess be referring to Princess Yuanbao?


    But at the moment, Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t dwell on this issue.


    No matter which princess it was, she first had to occupy the castle of the native cats.


    She asked, ¡°Have you ever tried to land a large force on Bastet?¡±


    Prince Carl said, ¡°I haven¡¯t tried yet. First, we haven¡¯t surveyed the terrain of Bastet, found out the number of their troops, or mapped out their territory. They have food supplies and are at a great advantage, and once we run out of resources, we would face a difficult dilemma, and¡­¡±


    Prince Carl hesitated for a moment, and said, ¡°Because of repeated defeats in the past few years, the morale of our army is almost gone¡­¡± He took a deep breath and said, ¡°Lin Xinghe, for the sake of the alliance, I¡¯ll tell you honestly. If it wasn¡¯t for the cat queen pushing the cats too hard, I wouldn¡¯t be so desperate as to come and investigate the situation on this suddenly-appearing island in person.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Your army is gone?¡±


    Prince Carl replied, ¡°Yes, of course, my army is brave and good at fighting, but Bastet is a hard bone that we have never been able to gnaw down. The planets around Bastet have been incorporated into my empire, but the cats of other planets aren¡¯t willing to come fight Bastet¡­¡±


    Prince Carl raised his paw, lying on the ground like the little American Shorthair, but his eyes were full of anticipation, and he asked Lin Xinghe: ¡°How can you open up a road for us to the Bastet continent?¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Can you swim?¡±


    Prince Carl proudly said, ¡°When I was a man, I could swim, and when I was a cat, I overcame my fear of water and naturally I could also swim. My cat army was afraid of water at first, but under my training , they also overcame this fear¡­ Oh, do you want to fight in the water? No, do you think I haven¡¯t thought about it? As soon as we approach the continent, we will be killed by the cats onshore. ¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Can the Bastet cats swim?¡±


    Prince Carl said, ¡°Cats are actually born to swim, but most domestic cats are not used to the water. Cats are afraid of water, not because of the possibility of drowning, but rather because of the possibility of freezing to death. When wet, cats will be uncomfortable, so strictly speaking, cats hate water and are not afraid of water. If the Bastet cats fight us in the water, they will definitely not win against us. My army has a wealth of experience in water warfare. If they want to compete with my army in water warfare, it would not be bragging to say that, in less than a day, my army and I will be able to occupy this planet and rescue my Princess Anna.¡±

 CH 143.1

    When Lin Xinghe heard this, she said, ¡°Then we have a better chance of winning.¡±


    Prince Carl said worriedly, ¡°It¡¯s just that my army was terrified when they heard about Bastet, and since we already tried the strategy of water warfare before and some of their comrades still failed to return¡­¡±


    Prince Carl sighed again and said, ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m worried. Now, my army would rather go to a remote planet to revive a wasteland than come to Bastet. For large-scale battles, I¡¯m worried that they will lose hope before it starts.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, leave it to me to boost morale. I¡¯m the best at it!¡±


    As she spoke, she flew to Prince Carl¡¯s ear and whispered for five minutes.


    The students present couldn¡¯t hear it, but they watched as Prince Carl¡¯s eyes gradually changed from sadness to surprise. After he got over his shock, he said confidently, ¡°You are really talented. I¡¯ll go back and boost morale! Two days later, I will gather an army to capture Bastet!¡±


    When Prince Carl was about to return to the aircraft, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Princess Elizabeth seems to like it very much here. If you let the princess stay, my Xiao Xue Ji can also play with her.¡±


    The pastoral cat immediately said, ¡°King, this is not right, who knows if these humans are malicious? In case the cats of Bastet call, Princess Elizabeth would be in danger.¡±


    Prince Carl scolded it, ¡°How can humans who want to save Anna have bad intentions? We¡¯re only leaving for two days, maybe fewer than two days. After so many years, have you seen Bastet cats going out to sea?¡±


    Prince Carl looked at the little American Shorthair and asked, ¡°Do you want to stay here?¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°Yes! Elizabeth wants to play with Xiao Xue Ji!¡±


    The pastoral cat wanted to say something, but Prince Carl butted in.


    ¡°Okay, then you stay here,¡± he warned, ¡°Don¡¯t bully the humans, understand?¡±


    The little American Shorthair nodded, ¡°Elizabeth understands!¡±


    Before the pastoral cat got on the aircraft, it turned back every three steps and its eyes were full of concern. It finally had to enter the hatch of the aircraft and disappeared from view.


    The aircraft rushed into the sky and immediately disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    The pastoral cat¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t seem to be worried about the little American Shorthair, but rather more like the cat was worried about the humans.


    At this time, the little American Shorthair looked left and right, and her face was full of curiosity.


    Lin Xinghe said to Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°Take her for a walk on our island.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji turned into a big ragdoll cat and took the little American Shorthair to play on the island. The little American Shorthair may have been deeply influenced by Prince Carl¡ªshe was really not afraid of water at all. After a lap with Xiao Xue Ji, she threw herself into the sea, only bobbing her head above the water, and her appearance was quite charming.


    There were quite a few girls among the classmates present, and when they saw such an adorable, naive, and fluffy creature, their resistances were shredded, and they shouted, ¡°It¡¯s so cute! I want to pet it!¡±


    The little American Shorthair was very close to humans and not as aggressive as the native cats looked. She obediently lay on the beach, sticking out her paws and rolling on the sand, exposing its belly and purring.


    This made the female students present even less resistant to her cuteness!


    Others couldn¡¯t help shouting, ¡°Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so cute! I¡¯m dying!¡±


    Some classmates tried to touch the claws of the little American Shorthair Princess. She spread out her paws generously, retracted her claws, and exposed the jelly beans for everyone to touch.


    The students had a good time.


    Xiao Xue Ji played with the little American Shorthair for a while longer and grew slightly tired. After all, maintaining such a large body was very exhausting, so she lazily changed back to a little girl.


    Leiting stepped forward at the right time and carried Xiao Xue Ji over its head.


    It slithered very smoothly.


    Xiao Xue Ji sat very comfortably.


    Fu Zhou remembered that when he first domesticated Leiting, every time he tried sitting on it, it would buckle him off like a pretzel, bruising his nose. Now, it was slithering cautiously, and the snake¡¯s head didn¡¯t move a single bit. The old father¡¯s heart suddenly stung.


    Xiao Xue Ji shouted, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    Leiting understood and carried Xiao Xue Ji to Lin Xinghe¡¯s side.


    Xiao Xue Ji stretched out her hand.


    Lin Xinghe hugged her in her arms.


    Xiao Xue Ji rubbed her head against Lin Xinghe¡¯s cheek and whispered, ¡°Mommy, it¡¯s a bad cat!¡±


    Her voice was so quiet that only Lin Xinghe, Leiting, and Xie Wuan, who was standing beside Lin Xinghe, could hear her.


    Leiting¡¯s eyes widened.


    Fu Zhou received the following information-


    Ahhh, my wife is amazing!


    Fu Zhou glanced at Xiao Xue Ji and saw that Xiao Xue Ji was being held in Lin Xinghe¡¯s arms, with Xie Wuan looking at Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji gently.


    Fu Zhou doesn¡¯t quite understand where the power came from, but based on past experience, he knew that both people and snakes in love were fools, such as the person and snake next to Lin Xinghe and Xiao Xue Ji.

 CH 143.2

    At this time, Leiting heard Lin Xinghe say softly, ¡°Mm, mommy knows.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°Have you noticed it?¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Leiting, who didn¡¯t know¡ªAhhh, father-in-law and mother-in-law are amazing!


    Fu Zhou¡ªRebel! You never praised your dad for being awesome!


    Fu Zhou¡¯s old father¡¯s heart was broken, and he didn¡¯t want to pay attention to their idyllic family of four, so he went to play with the little American Shorthair on the white sands.


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said to Xie Wuan, ¡°Her acting is good, but it¡¯s still far worse than mine.¡±


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°Do you need my help?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°I don¡¯t need it for the time being. In terms of force value, we can¡¯t kill her even with all these people together, but it¡¯s not difficult to deal with this kind of clever kitten.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said again, ¡°You see, most of our group are attracted to her now. If we ignore her, she will come to me sooner or later.¡±


    She thought of something and said to Xiao Xue Ji and Leiting, ¡°You guys can go and play.¡±


    Sure enough, less than ten minutes later¡ª


    Lin Xinghe, who was walking on the other side of the island, saw the little American Shorthair.


    For the convenience of speaking, Lin Xinghe rode on a magic broom, flew in front of the little American Shorthair, and asked her with a smile, ¡°Are you having a good time?¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°Yes! Elizabeth had fun! Thank you, older sister!¡±


    She continued, ¡°Father said that every woman who sees a human must call her older sister. Is Elizabeth right?¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at her huge size, then thought about her actual age, and said, ¡°¡­That¡¯s right.¡±


    The little American Shorthair sweetly called, ¡°Thank you, older sister for letting Elizabeth stay and play. Elizabeth had a good time, but she was also a little tired!¡±


    She suddenly yawned and opened her huge mouth, revealing sharp teeth and a barbed tongue. With a quick bite, she could swallow Lin Xinghe.


    But it did not move, only observed Lin Xinghe¡¯s expression.


    Lin Xinghedidn¡¯t seem to have any reaction and said, ¡°Elizabeth is a little princess. The little princess loves to be clean. But you haven¡¯t brushed your teeth for a long time, you have tartar!¡±


    The little American Shorthair¡¯s expression stiffened.


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°You can¡¯t be like this. Kittens love cleanliness, and if you have tartar, you¡¯re not the most beautiful cat princess in the universe! Your father has a human mind and definitely doesn¡¯t like dirty kitties. Is Elizabeth a dirty kitty?¡±


    The little American Shorthair subconsciously replied: ¡°I¡¯m not a dirty kitty! I¡­¡±


    Her tone was high as if it were thinking of something, but it quickly regained its tone, again showing a charming and harmless look and saying aggrievedly, ¡°Elizabeth is not a dirty little cat, Elizabeth is the most beautiful cat princess in the universe! ¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°But you have tartar, I saw it!¡±


    The little American Shorthair frowned a little and said, ¡°Elizabeth doesn¡¯t!¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I saw it!¡±


    The little American Shorthair: ¡°I don¡¯t! Don¡¯t!¡±


    The little American Shorthair¡¯s tone was raised again. She thought of something and said, ¡°Elizabeth will brush her teeth well in the future!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Well, you are a good little kitty. Although I have never seen Princess Yuanbao from Bastet, if you are willing to brush your teeth, you must be better-looking than Princess Yuanbao.¡±


    The little American Shorthair didn¡¯t understand how this logic came about and said, ¡°Elizabeth is more beautiful than Yuanbao! Ragdoll cats are all delicate and stupid cats! The American Shorthair is the best looking and most useful cat in the universe!¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°What about the British Shorthairs?¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°The British Shorthairs are even uglier! The American Shorthairs are the most beautiful in the universe!¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly laughed.


    It was also at this time that the little American Shorthair realized that she was being led by the nose, and she said, ¡°Your hair is dirty and ew-y, you haven¡¯t washed your hair, you don¡¯t like to be clean, and you are not the most beautiful human being in the universe! You¡­ you aren¡¯t worthy of being a fan of Princess Anna!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Okay, if I don¡¯t deserve it, then I don¡¯t deserve it.¡±


    The little American Shorthair choked up, not knowing what to say.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°But you¡ªif you don¡¯t brush your teeth well, you really don¡¯t deserve to be your father¡¯s daughter. Your father definitely brushes his teeth every day.¡±


    The little American Shorthair was scolded to the point of crying.


    Her big eyes welled up with tears.


    Lin Xinghe was unmoved and said, ¡°Why are you crying? A princess who cries, your father definitely doesn¡¯t want to see it, right?¡±


    The little American Shorthair cried even harder.


    Lin Xinghe was waiting for this moment.


    Prince Carl had been talking about his love for Princess Anna since he got off the aircraft, and he wanted to save Princess Anna with all the power of the country. He even imagined a good life with Princess Anna in the future. The face of the little American Shorthair said that he didn¡¯t seem to care about his cat daughter at all, and Lin Xinghe saw that he likely didn¡¯t ease on the scolding.


    Although the little American Shorthair was a cat, she was not a pure animal. She had human rationality and emotions.


    A daughter who listened to her father talk about saving females of other races everyday, disregarding her own feelings and that of her mother.


    From the conversation just now, she gleaned that the little American Shorthair still cared about her father.


    Lin Xinghe could understand the mind of such a little girl.

 CH 144.1

    A little girl like this at such a time, as long as Lin Xinghe could gain her trust, would completely let down her guard and say everything she knew.


    Lin Xinghe smiled slightly, with warmth in her eyes, revealing the invisible tail of the big bad wolf.


    She said, ¡°I can understand your current mood very well. My family is much different from yours, but it is also alike in ways. My father has an illegitimate daughter outside, and he always praises her in front of me. Can you believe it? In front of me! He always says that I am inferior to her. I¡¯m not good enough, and she would do a better job, whether it¡¯s work, school, or piano¡­¡±


    Her eyes were slightly red, and she said aggrievedly, ¡°But I really do a good job, why can¡¯t my father see? I¡¯m his daughter too! His own daughter! I obviously love him so much, but he hardly praises me! I work harder than before, but he never sees that I have improved. Has he ever considered my feelings?¡±


    The audience¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾Oh! Do you all feel that familiar feeling! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL is really good at making up stories! Every exam room has a new character design! And she never messes up! ¡¿


    ¡¾Exactly! Her execution is perfect! She is able to fool everyone so easily¡ªthink back to the Snow Maiden exam room!¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahaha the tartar exists! Just like when Xiao Xue Ji showed her 5 mouths in the Snow Maiden exam room¡­ SL¡¯s first reaction was that five mouths can be used for five shades of lipstick!¡¿


    ¡¾Princess Elizabeth¡¯s tartar is really funny hahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾Who would have thought that kittens can also have tartar! ¡¿


    ¡­


    As it turned out, Lin Xinghe did it again.


    When Lin Xinghe talked about her past emotionally, the little American Shorthair¡¯s eyes changed. It soon joined the complaining camp.


    ¡°Same with my father!¡±


    ¡°He never sees my good points! Other cats are pampered, but I eliminated the Zergs in two months! But my father never praised me!¡±


    ¡°My father always talked about how good Princess Anna was¡­ He told us that Princess Anna had promised him before that they would have a beautiful and lovely daughter after their marriage. He also said that if there was no such damn mysterious light, his little princess Elizabeth would be of marriageable age.¡±


    ¡°My name is the one my father originally intended to give his daughter, his human daughter.¡±


    ¡°I know my father looks down on cats, so he¡¯s set his mind on turning back into a human being. He thinks I don¡¯t know that the human team he kept in captivity has been developing the technology to turn cats into humans.¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded heavily and said, ¡°Although I am a human being, I don¡¯t think your father is doing this kindly! How can he ignore our Elizabeth¡¯s feelings?¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°Yes! How can my father ignore my feelings? I want my father to value me! I want my father to know that I am better than his imaginary daughter!¡±


    The little American Shorthair continued, ¡°I¡¯m really tired of listening! I hate Princess Anna! I want to¡­¡±


    Her words came to an abrupt end.


    She looked at Lin Xinghe, changed her words in a panic, and said, ¡°I want¡­ I want¡­ let my father recognize that it¡¯s impossible for him and Princess Anna to be together! My mother and my father are a natural pair. We are all pure American Shorthairs!¡±


    How could someone as meticulous as Lin Xinghe not notice that little American Shorthair¡¯s voice before the abrupt stop was clearly murderous?


    Little American Shorthair wanted to kill Princess Anna.


    She said calmly, ¡°You are right, your father is a cat now, and Princess Anna is a human, it¡¯s impossible¡­ I think you need to worry more about Princess Yuanbao now.¡±


    Little American Shorthair asked, ¡°Why?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You know, your father is going to attack Bastet. With the strength of your father¡¯s army, his odds of winning are quite high. When your father captures Bastet, the queen might try to marry Yuanbao to your father. Unlike monogamous humans, cats are polygamous. One male cat can have multiple female cats, and one female cat with multiple male cats isn¡¯t uncommon either. Princess Anna is a human, but Princess Yuanbao is a cat. Do you think Princess Anna is more likely to give birth to your father¡¯s child? Or Princess Yuanbao? ¡±


    The little American Shorthair didn¡¯t seem to have thought of this layer and was quite shocked.


    Soon, she burst out, ¡°No! I won¡¯t let my father marry Princess Yuanbao! I hate Princess Yuanbao!¡± Thinking of something, she looked at Lin Xinghe and asked, ¡°You hate Princess Yuanbao too, right?¡±


    Lin Xinghe agreed, ¡°Of course.¡±

 CH 144.2

    The little American Shorthair said loudly, ¡°I want to kill Princess Yuanbao!¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Why?¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°I am the most beautiful cat princess in the universe. All cat princesses have to die! The cat queen should be glad that she has only one princess, otherwise I would kill every single one she birthed!¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t say a word.


    She gazed at her thoughtfully.


    At present, it was impossible for the alien princess to kill Princess Anna, and it was impossible for the native cat princess to kill Elizabeth as well.


    The exam question was to recapture the princess, of which there were three. Princess Anna seemed to be in the most danger, while Princess Yuanbao and Princess Elizabeth both had their own forms of protection.


    Only¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe fell into deep contemplation.


    She always felt something was wrong.


    Before, the details of this novel world seemed a bit off, but now, this inconsistency was getting thicker and thicker. She had speculated before that this was a shoddy fiction world, and that the author was lazy and perhaps from the modern era she was familiar with.


    Because most of the settings showed that they couldn¡¯t have come from a society of the far future.


    The reason why she was unsure was because authors could possibly have collected enough information to make an ¡°ancient¡± era.


    According to the various clues in the villain¡¯s school, Lin Xinghe knew that the world where Principal Wang lived had to be a highly developed future era, otherwise it would have been impossible for the interplanar mall to exist.


    If the author were from such, the setting of the novel world in her current examination room would be too ancient, and there were too many incongruous details. The most inconsistent place at present was not the bad technology but rather the breed of cats.


    Elizabeth said that she was an American Shorthair, and she said that she thought the British Shorthairs were the ugliest.


    In this novel world, American Shorthairs should not be American and British Shorthairs should not be British because these countries didn¡¯t exist here.


    Therefore, Lin Xinghe believed that the author of the novel was from her modern society, and according to Prince Carl¡¯s remarks, the novel was likely a gory thriller.


    Lin Xinghe was thinking about something.


    Wouldn¡¯t Principal Wang review the novel and tell the author to change the shoddy parts? After all, there were obvious plot holes.


    She hadn¡¯t used such concrete words when addressing the audience because she wanted them to awaken for themselves.


    But if this was not a bug, why was the world set like this?


    Even an author in a modern society could set up a perfect high-tech interstellar era with sufficient preparation.


    Lin Xinghe had no idea.


    Before Prince Carl descended on Bastet with his army, she quietly observed the little American Shorthair.


    Princess Elizabeth seemed to have let her guard down, showing how she really hated Princess Yuanbao, and she swam in the sea every day to exercise.


    The classmates were fortunate enough to see the little American Shorthair open its mouth and swallow a whole tiger shark. She also hunted a huge whale, bit down on it, jumped from the sea, and prowled to Lin Xinghe¡¯s cabin.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe opened the door, she saw a ginormous whale, an enormous shark, a large oyster, a jumbo lobster, a huge king crab, and a writhing sea snake¡­


    They were dying slowly on the beach.


    The little American Shorthair bit down and completely killed the sea creatures.


    The little American Shorthair smiled shyly at Lin Xinghe, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t be sad, it doesn¡¯t matter if your father doesn¡¯t acknowledge you. I think sister is a super good sister! I have never seen my father listen to someone¡¯s words so easily, and you even persuaded him to go raise his army!¡±


    The little American Shorthair blinked guilelessly and continued, ¡°Sister, you are a very good person, and you don¡¯t need your father¡¯s approval! Elizabeth caught the creatures in the sea as gifts for sister.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡­Oh, what a kind kitty.


    Other classmates: ¡­Today¡¯s breakfast, lunch and dinner are all settled! Come and eat seafood hot pot! The kitty is so cute! She will be their seafood catching tool from now on!


    Audience: ¡­You have no heart, sect leader!

 CH 145.1

    Prince Carl kept his word.


    He returned the next evening.


    He told Lin Xinghe, ¡°My army is already waiting outside the atmosphere. Upon my orders, they will pass through the atmosphere and land on Bastet. The speech method you taught me is very useful, and I have utilized it. My army desperately needs a morale booster like you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe actually only gave Prince Carl elementary tips on moving people¡¯s hearts, but that was not key to moving the alien cat army.


    Victory depended on the right time, place, and people.


    The alien cat army already had people¡ªwhat they lacked were the right time and the right place.


    These two had always firmly been in the hands of the native cats.


    When someone was willing to offer them the right time and place, coupled with a simple provocative speech, there would definitely be a rise in morale.


    They had been on this planet for three or four days.


    Although there were multitudes of other planetary bodies in visible space, the weather was no different than a day on Earth. There was blue sky for days, without even a hint of rain.


    This was the cats¡¯ favorite weather.


    Prince Carl bathed in the sun.


    But in the end, he was still slightly concerned. He said, ¡°You can start.¡± After a while, he asked with uncertainty, ¡°Is this really possible?¡±


    Before Prince Carl left, Lin Xinghe whispered, ¡°You are good at water warfare, while Bastet cats aren¡¯t, and we have a way to make the entire Bastet Continent a water battlefield. There is only one landmass on this planet, and it¡¯s surrounded by oceans on all sides, so we¡¯ll make the continent an ocean as well. As you said, it¡¯s not that they can¡¯t swim, it¡¯s just that cats hate water. Therefore, you only have one chance to conquer this planet when the Bastet cats aren¡¯t yet familiar with the battlefield.¡±


    Prince Carl personally saw this island appear on Bastet overnight. After landing on this island, he also witnessed a group of humans with extraordinary abilities.


    After all, Prince Carl had been human for 25 years. During this time, his kingdom had been quite developed, and strange people with super powers occasionally appeared, but he always believed in the mystical.


    Western magic, Eastern magic, and supernatural powers, he all firmly believed.


    Coupled with the filter of being Princess Anna¡¯s fanatical fan, he didn¡¯t even ask Lin Xinghe to show him her team¡¯s abilities and went back excitedly to rouse his troops.


    When he spoke, he also gave his army a way out.


    He would go to Bastet first, and when the continent began to be submerged by the sea, the army would follow. When the Bastet cats were caught off guard, they would easily claim victory!


    While observing the little American Shorthair these two days, she was also discussing with the other 22 people.


    Bastet was surrounded by the sea. It was not difficult to submerge this continent, and they did not need to completely submerge it anyways. They just needed to create a time for the alien cat army to enter the field.


    So, their plan was to create a couple of tsunamis.


    Tsunamis were caused by undersea earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions. There weren¡¯t any volcanoes nearby, so they were left with the option of undersea earthquakes.


    They could crack the crust of the seafloor and create catastrophic waves.


    They had several classmates with earth-type abilities or magic, Mona¡¯s seabed pressure and breathing potions and Jiuge¡¯s indestructible hair shield could guarantee the safety of the students who descended into the sea.


    The other students would just stay away from the tsunami.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s ability was common knowledge, and he was naturally indispensable for the arduous task of manipulating the earth¡¯s crust. He, Jiuge, and three other students proficient in earth-type abilities formed a team.


    Before he descended into the sea, Lin Xinghe walked up to Xie Wuan and the others. Just as she was about to say a few words, the four other classmates took a few steps back, and Jiuge even said, ¡°I¡¯m going to get my hair done. When you guys are done talking, call me back.¡±


    Other students said, ¡°Uh, I¡¯m going to the toilet.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go as well.¡±


    ¡°Me too.¡±


    The audience thought it was funny¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾It¡¯s written on their faces that they don¡¯t want to be third, fourth, fifth, n-th wheels! Hahahahaha.¡¿


    Lin Xinghe originally wanted to tell them something like ¡°be careful along the way¡±, but she didn¡¯t expect them to slip away so fast, leaving her alone with Xie Wuan.


    On the island these few days, Lin Xinghe deeply felt the actions of other classmates who regarded her and Xie Wuan as a couple.


    She felt a little helpless.


    Because everyone else was gone she had to say to Xie Wuan, ¡°Brother Xie, stay safe.¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°I will be back soon.¡±

 CH 145.2

    Lin Xinghe glanced around and said regretfully, ¡°When the tsunami comes, our Twenty-Three Island will probably be flooded. It¡¯s a pity that the fruits of the students¡¯ labor and your landmass making will all go to waste.¡±


    Xie Wuan frowned slightly and asked her, ¡°Do you like this island?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said with a grin, ¡°Don¡¯t you think Twenty-Three Island is like a resort? It¡¯s very relaxing. Who wouldn¡¯t like an island like this?¡±


    As soon as her voice fell, Xie Wuan flew into the air, waved his sleeves, and added a protective barrier to Twenty-Three Island.


    He returned to Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°Even if the tsunami hits, it won¡¯t affect Twenty-Three Island.¡±


    He continued lightly, ¡°If you like something, I will protect it.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s heart beat wildly.


    She wanted to add something, but she found that she didn¡¯t know what to say when her heart was pounding like that of a deer caught in the headlights. She used to be able to calmly tease Xie Wuan, but now she felt her heartbeat quicken and her words dry up in her mouth.


    At this time, Jiuge and the others came back one after another.


    Lin Xinghe calmed down and said, ¡°When you¡¯re done, contact me.¡±


    Jiuge made an ¡°ok¡± gesture.


    Forty minutes later.


    The giant cats of Bastet faced an apocalypse.


    That disaster was unforgettable in the minds of Bastetians.


    On that day, the sky was clear and cloudless.


    In an instant, cat meows sounded from everywhere.


    From the sky appeared a towering column of turbulent water that rushed towards Bastet.


    The huge waves that almost engulfed the sky made all the Bastet cats panic. They had never touched water since birth and were so scared they didn¡¯t know what to do. Even though they knew that they were blessed by the mysterious light, as they faced a natural disaster, the Bastet cats still felt a primordial ancestral fear.


    No matter people, cats, or other animals, those who face nature¡¯s wrath would feel instinctive fear.


    Even cats that have grown ten times larger wished to be able to stay away from the endless ocean at all times.


    There were few cats on the coast.


    This sudden tsunami made the native cats lose their wits.


    Just when they thought this was the worst day, the alien cats, who had been monitoring them for a long time, attacked. Their army was very good at water warfare. When they fell into the water, they didn¡¯t panic and got into advanced formations.


    The Bastet cats, who originally had the home court advantage, were caught off guard by the sudden tsunami and the overwhelming alien cat army. Driven back by the alien cat army, their aloof cat queen, Princess Yuanbao, and several royal families were all imprisoned.


    In just a few days, the ruler of Bastet changed from the Cat Queen to King Carl.


    Lin Xinghe and others were also welcomed into the castle as distinguished guests.


    The audience in the live broadcast room had only one wordin their hearts at this moment: ¡°serving.¡±


    ¡¾Have you realized? It seems that no matter what the predicament is, the leader always has a way to counterattack. ¡¿


    ¡¾This is the world of the strong. ¡¿


    ¡¾One thing of note, although the leader has no force value, she hasn¡¯t made any mistakes in the manipulation of the exam rooms, and she allocated every single skill to the right task. If SL weren¡¯t here, none of this could have happened.¡¿


    ¡¾To tell the truth, in terms of vileness, there is really no one who can compare to Principal Wang. The setting of this exam is really outrageous. There is no cap on the strength of a boss, and there are invincible bosses everywhere. The worst thing is that if you don¡¯t think of a way to escape, you will be treated as a pet. Who knows what kind of cat owner you will meet, and it will be even worse if you are forcibly impregnated. Although no one is stupid enough to get pregnant in the examination room, some of the people who spend a night with a handsome NPC accidentally became pregnant. According to the school¡¯s regulations, you cannot take any living thing out of the examination room, which means that when you leave the examination room, the child has to be aborted. Although it is said to be painless magic, it is part of your body after all! It causes physical and psychological damage. ¡¿


    ¡¾Fortunately, I¡¯ve never been to the competitive exam room. Is the competitive exam room that scary? ¡¿


    ¡¾Actually, it¡¯s not that the competitive examination room is scary, it¡¯s that President Wang is scary, and Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan¡¯s team is amazing. Without that kind of flexible logic and executive ability, it would be impossible to contact the alien cats, and it would be impossible to help the alien cat attack the Bastet cats.¡¿


    ¡¾The prompt is still confusing, and no one knows what it means to recapture the princess, so they can only test them one by one. ¡¿

 CH 146.1

    The tsunami quickly receded with the water-wielding classmates¡¯ powers, and the original Bastet continent slowly resurfaced.


    However, the ruler of Bastet had been replaced.


    Lin Xinghe thought that after Prince Carl entered the castle, he would rescue Princess Anna from the dungeon as soon as possible. She knew that although Elizabeth said that she wanted to kill Princess Yuanbao, if she had the chance to meet Princess Anna, she would most likely be ruthless.


    Princess Anna was a powerless human, so if she faced these giant cats, her fate was decided.


    Lin Xinghe planned to suggest that her group would take care of Princess Anna after Prince Carl rescued her. After all, she was a fan of Princess Anna, so it would be natural for her to make such a suggestion.


    Prince Carl would certainly not refuse.


    In this way, Princess Anna¡¯s personal safety was also guaranteed.


    What she never expected was that Prince Carl, was a scumbag human cat. After occupying the castle, pacifying his subjects, making drastic reforms, and quickly giving instructions on reconstruction after the disaster, he rapidly returned Bastet to its former prosperity.


    During this period, Prince Carl did not think of Princess Anna at all, as if he was not aiming to save Princess Anna at all, but to rule Bastet.


    However, Prince Carl once gave an order that no one was allowed to approach the prison without his order, which slightly guaranteed the safety of the two princesses in the prison.


    The little American Shorthair broke into the prison five times, but was stopped by the cat guard who strictly followed the King¡¯s orders each time.


    Xiaomei frowned, sighed, and ran to complain to Lin Xinghe, ¡°My father just loves that wild woman! He won¡¯t let me in because he is afraid that I will hurt her! Now Princess Anna is in the prison, and Princess Yuanbao is also in the prison! Not a single princess can be seen!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I think your father still likes you the most.¡±


    Xiaomei asked innocently, ¡°Really? Why? Where did you see it? Ah! Sister, please tell me!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Didn¡¯t your father claim that Princess Anna is his beloved? But your father has occupied Bastet for three whole days. He has not even looked at Princess Anna or even moved her from the prison to a comfortable and warm room. On the other hand, you have the largest and most luxurious room in the castle. Do you think your father loves you or Princess Anna more?¡±


    Elizabeth was coaxed to placidity and left.


    The castle itself could house giant cats.


    After Lin Xinghe, Xie Wuan, and the others were welcomed into the castle as distinguished guests, they were all placed in the same room.


    The cat king before the overthrown cat queen loved Princess Anna a great deal and was afraid that Princess Anna would be bored.


    The cat queen didn¡¯t like humans. After taking the throne, the first thing she did was send Princess Anna to the prison and order the servant cats to throw all the human things into the warehouse.


    Now that King Carl was on the throne, these things were dug out again, wiped clean, and sent to Lin Xinghe¡¯s room.


    There were a total of 23 classmates on the island, and they all came to Bastet, but the next day, thirteen classmates gave up the examination room rewards and went back to Twenty-Three Island happily.


    They all chose to give up the promotion. There were countless giant cats in the castle, and any of the cats could kill them casually. The island they built together was no longer just a vacation destination¡ªit was their home in this exam room.


    So they collectively chose to go on a vacation and wait for the bosses to end the exam room.


    The exam prompt now had nothing to do with them! They were like high school students who had chosen to go abroad and didn¡¯t have to prepare for the college examination!


    The remaining ten candidates who stayed in the castle were not as relaxed as they were on the vacation island, but they owned a spacious suite. The ten of them, plus the two in Xie Wuan¡¯s space, added up to exactly 12 active challengers remaining.


    After Elizabeth left, everyone fell into silence.


    Fu Zhou was the first to ask the question: ¡°Recapture the princess? If the princess refers to Princess Anna, we should have succeeded now, right? The Cat Queen, who imprisoned her, and Princess Yuanbao are both imprisoned. But our examination room hasn¡¯t ended at all¡­ Or is it that Prince Carl needs to release Princess Anna from prison for it to be considered a successful recapture?¡±


    At this time, a classmate said, ¡°Before, the Bastet cats ruled the planet and imprisoned the princess, so in the literal sense, the princess we should recapture is Princess Anna. But now it¡¯s Prince Carl who rules the planet, and Princess Yuanbao is imprisoned, so shouldn¡¯t it be Princess Yuanbao we recapture?¡±


    ¡°Shit, it makes sense!¡±


    ¡°That means if the Cat Queen regains power and imprisons Princess Elizabeth, then the princess we want to recapture is Princess Elizabeth?¡±


    ¡°So which princess should we recapture?¡±


    ¡°So confusing.¡±


    Everyone pouted, and finally looked at Lin Xinghe, who was sitting in the middle.


    She frowned slightly, thinking hard.


    Almost no one had seen Lin Xinghe struggle this much.

 CH 146.2

    It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I don¡¯t think the exam prompt is talking about recapturing a princess in the literal sense. Now that we still haven¡¯t gathered the clues to the story, I think it¡¯s time to rescue Princess Anna from the prison.¡±


    Someone asked, ¡°Are we going to break into the prison?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Of course not, there is no need to do so. Prince Carl thinks that I am a fan of Princess Anna, and I will propose to Prince Carl to bring Princess Anna out and let us humans take care of her. It should be reasonable, so Prince Carl has no reason to refuse. It¡¯s just that¡­Prince Carl ignored Princess Anna after taking control of Bastet, which I didn¡¯t expect.¡±


    A female classmate said, ¡°Prince Carl is a scumbag! A typical scumbag! Full of love is just an excuse! What love of his life! At that time, he really tried to make it flowery, but he still mated and mated with different cats again and again. He said it¡¯s his cat nature, and we reluctantly accepted it, but now! He has occupied Bastet, and his beloved is still in prison, but he ignores her! He says that he is busy with government affairs? Well, he has time to appease his subjects and show off, but not time to sign an order to let Princess Anna out? Doesn¡¯t he have the minute it takes to open his mouth, touch his lips together a few times, and order Princess Anna¡¯s release?¡±


    ¡°Oh, what scum.¡±


    ¡°All men in the world are the same!¡±


    ¡°Only the ones pinned up by their collars will be honest.¡±


    Xie Wuan coughed lightly.


    A female classmate immediately changed her tune, ¡°All men in the world are the same except for Boss Xie!¡±


    Jiuge coughed.


    The female classmate edited her words again, ¡°All men in the world are the same except for those here!¡±


    Lin Xinghe got up and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to Prince Carl to make a request.¡±


    When she left, Xie Wuan also left.


    After exiting the gate, Xie Wuan said to her, ¡°I¡¯m different.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was stunned for a while. After a while, she realized what he meant by this. She was really shocked, but also felt that Xie Wuan was really something!


    She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Xie Wuan¡¯s internal dialogue rang out-


    ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for her for many years, and I haven¡¯t been attracted to anyone else. I¡¯ve always kept myself clean. I¡¯m completely different from that cat.¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly remembered the past she remembered in his portable space.


    She met Xie Wuan in those different appearances.


    ¡°¡­Stupid, can¡¯t you wake up after being led by the nose for so long?¡±


    ¡°¡­If you don¡¯t wake up again, our bet will be considered a loss for you.¡±


    ¡°¡­Forget it, this illustrious one will wait for you for another five years.¡±


    ¡°¡­You woke up a little bit last year, but unfortunately, Old Wang zealously did everything to wipe out your memory. Wake up quickly, and when Old Wang can¡¯t suppress you anymore, you will be able to come find me¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­This illustrious one will wait for you for another five years at most, or maybe ten years.¡±


    ¡°¡­Oh, twenty years is alright too.¡±


    ¡­


    She didn¡¯t remember what the bet was.


    She had experienced so many worlds, met Xie Wuan too many times, and bet with too many people.


    However, Xie Wuan always remembered their bet and miraculously recognized her again and again, which made her suffer a lot less in various worlds.


    She suddenly felt her nose sting. Xie Wuan seemed to be cold on the surface, but he was actually a big dummy inside. Though he said she was stupid, he was world¡¯s biggest fool.


    She controlled her emotions because she didn¡¯t want to be noticed by the audience, took a deep breath, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to Prince Carl alone.¡±


    She hurried off.


    After Xie Wuan disappeared from sight, her mood calmed down.


    She went to Prince Carl and explained her purpose.


    Prince Carl seemed to think of Princess Anna just now and looked a little embarrassed, but this expression was quickly covered up, and he said solemnly, ¡°I have always remembered Princess Anna, but I just got this position, and the people¡¯s hearts are not steady. I have to make political achievements before I can easily reclaim Princess Anna. But since you said this, I can rest assured that it is up to you to take care of Princess Anna.¡±


    Prince Carl added, ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve become a cat now, and am no longer a person. Also, we haven¡¯t seen each other for many years, so now is not a good time to meet. You take good care of Princess Anna, and don¡¯t tell her I¡¯ve become a cat. When the time arrives, I will tell her myself.¡±


    Prince Carl did not arrange for Princess Anna¡¯s accommodations, so Lin Xinghe arbitrarily proposed to bring Princess Anna back to their suite.


    Only, the proctor did not respond after they brought Princess Anna back.


    Obviously, this was not the answer.


    The students were a little disappointed.


    Fu Zhou scolded Principal Wang, ¡°Really inhumane. Who would make it difficult for such an ambiguous test question! We were forbidden to use immortal magic powers in the last room and were thrown, scattered, into an apocalypse. Now that we can use our skills, there are invincible bosses everywhere. Adding on, we have a completely arbitrary exam question, does he wish to lock us here in this exam room for eternity?¡±


    Jiuge was drinking sesame congee, and when he heard these words, he said, ¡°It¡¯s all his plan.¡±


    Jiuge rarely spoke, but now he hated Principal Wang very much, ¡°I have participated in so many examination rooms, but I have never encountered such a malicious examination room. Principal Wang just wants to trap us here¡­¡±


    After Fu Zhou and Jiuge took the lead in scolding Principal Wang, the emotions of other students were immediately infected, and they all spoke out and scolded Principal Wang. The audience was also moved and scolded Principal Wang in the chat. Some people remembered that they were dominated by difficult problems in the exam room in the past, and they were so angry that they even scolded Principal Wang¡¯s ancestors repeatedly.

 CH 147.1

    Principal Wang himself didn¡¯t know that in just a few minutes, the chat messages dissing him would be compiled into a collection.


    In addition to Principal Wang, the teachers in the school did not have free time to watch the livestream of the examination room.


    The school was very busy these days.


    Principal Wang was so busy that his feet practically never touched the ground, and his anxiety caused his hair to fall out.


    In the past, the frequency of new students coming to the villain school was not high, approximately one every two weeks or so. But after Lin Xinghe arrogantly promoted the theory of novels in the apocalyptic examination room, the candidates in other examination rooms followed suit, and more and more NPCs awakened.


    The system had to deal with a large number of awakened NPCs every day¡ªerase one¡¯s memories, send it to a new exam room, have the NPC inevitably fail, erase its memory again and send it to the villain school.


    These days, the teachers in the school receive new students every day.


    In just a few days, the villain school ushered in hundreds of freshmen.


    Principal Wang received information from the system every hour¡ª¡ª


    Host, please come over as soon as possible, Initial Person Number XXXX has been detected to exhibit irreversible initial awakening. The system recommends that the host open the villain school mode.


    Because of the arrival of hundreds of people, the teachers were in a hurry. As a last resort, they worked daily overtime. Finally, they jointly signed a protest and asked Principal Wang to hire more teachers and staff.


    After all, these teachers proctored exams in addition to teaching students.


    Hundreds of freshmen meant hundreds of new exam rooms, on top of the voluntary and competitive exam rooms and the monthly exam rooms for the rest of the candidates. The teachers didn¡¯t even have time to stop and drink water, and because the novel inventory was running out, the exam rooms were recycled. Without the special instructions of Principal Wang, they could only rack their brains to set some partial exam questions from a repeated novel world so that the students could not relate the new rooms to the previous ones they had experienced.


    The emergence of a large number of examination rooms required a large number of proctors. The school¡¯s teacher shortage was severe, so many teachers had multiple jobs and had to proctor more than a dozen examination rooms at the same time. After one exam was over, there would be the next dozen or so waiting for them, and if it weren¡¯t for the physical strength potions, they might have collapsed and died of exhaustion.


    That was why the teachers joined together to protest.


    Principal Wang just finished dealing with an awakened character and returned to the principal¡¯s office. He was about to take a breather when he saw the protest documents asking him to hire more teachers.


    Principal Wang was already very anxious, but now seeing the joint protests of the teachers, he was even more miffed.


    He threw the protest letter on his desk and said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m tired of just this workload! Why don¡¯t I say I¡¯m tired? When I¡¯m tired, I drink stamina potions! ¡±


    Principal Wang really didn¡¯t have time to hire more teachers now, and the hundreds of new students were driving him up the wall.


    Principal Wang rejected the joint protest.


    At this time, the system sent him another message, ¡°Host, Initial Person Number 0028 has exhibited irreversible initial awakening, and it is recommended that the host open the villain school mode. In addition, I need to deal with a lot of awakened individuals and cannot support too many examination rooms at the same time. It is recommended that the host stop all exams that have not yet started and close a small section of the exam rooms, otherwise the novel world will be affected, and the following phenomena may occur: exam room freezes, NPC characters confusing memories, NPC characters acting out of character, etc. However, the Dark Star region¡¯s fictional world will be affected, as will your industry on RH18. Please make a decision within forty-five minutes.¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s mood suddenly hit rock bottom.


    If he stopped all exams and closed some exam rooms, he would lose over 100 million in income at the very least.


    Principal Wang gritted his teeth and asked, ¡°Is there any other way?¡±


    System: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Principal Wang: ¡°What can I do?¡±


    System: ¡°Upgrade.¡±


    Principal Wang always felt that the damn system was mocking him.


    The system of the novel world was not his creation¡ªhe only stumbled upon it when it was already initialized, and the owner was nowhere to be found. He entered the system center with his own technology and successfully bound the system to himself.


    After binding with it, he gradually realized that this was a system created by a genius, perhaps even from a higher plane than his own.


    He used it as his own and gradually gained the fame and fortune he has today.


    However, because he was not the creator, he could not upgrade the system. Now that he overclocked the system to its breaking point, it would collapse after another overclock.


    System: ¡°There are still forty minutes remaining. Please make a decision as soon as possible, host. Once the novel world collapses, you will be unable to bear the consequences.¡±


    Principal Wang knew how to weigh his pros and cons, and at this moment, he could only choose to accept it.


    He said sadly, ¡°Stop all the exam rooms that have not yet opened, as for some of the exam rooms that have already started¡­¡±


    System: ¡°I have already ranked the exam rooms according to their popularity in the Dark Star Region. The ones at the bottom are unpopular exam rooms, with few viewers from the Dark Star Region. From a profit perspective, it is recommended that the host close the unpopular exam rooms. But from a precautionary perspective, it is recommended that the host close the competitive examination room where Lin Xinghe is located. Although this examination room is the most profitable to the host, a number of severely awakened characters have been detected in it.¡±


    He hated Lin Xinghe like never before at this time.


    A trivial initial character reduced him to today¡¯s situation!

 CH 147.2

    But there was one thing that he had to admit. Lin Xinghe indeed created a record-high popularity and income for him. If he hastily shut down the competitive examination room that Lin Xinghe was in, those in the Dark Star Region were very likely to tear him apart, and there was a clause in his contract that the live streams could not be suspended at will.


    Those unpopular livestreams didn¡¯t matter, and no one would make a fuss when they were closed.


    But Lin Xinghe was different. She was already famous in the Dark Star Region, and her fans were everywhere. If he shut down her livestream rashly, someone would definitely call him out for his breach of contract.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have the means to pay the incredibly high breach of contract fees, but he may go bankrupt doing so.


    The system urged Principal Wang, ¡°Please make a decision as soon as possible.¡±


    Principal Wang chose the unpopular exam rooms and shut down the system. At the same time, the school broadcasted a notice to temporarily suspend all exams. Students who did not need to take exams, were asked to please return to the classrooms.


    Once the unpopular examination rooms were closed, there would be no more examination rooms opened.


    The system would have more memory to deal with awakened novel NPC characters.


    When the teachers received the notification from their boss, they were relieved. As long as no new exam rooms were opened, they could breathe as the old exam rooms ended one by one. As for students who weren¡¯t in exams, they could self study in class or do free activities.


    The teachers in the group chat spoke enthusiastically.


    Teacher Li: Principal Wang has finally done something. I thought that if he didn¡¯t hire new employees, I would resign.


    Teacher Zhang: Yes, that¡¯s what I planned too. His temper is so violent that I am terrified of the monthly meeting. I heard from the teacher at the principal¡¯s office that Principal Wang throws things a lot.


    Teacher Chai: But it¡¯s good not to hire new teachers. The teachers in the school are all fellow villagers. If the new teachers are not from the same place, they might feel that we are ostracizing them.


    Teacher Huang: I¡¯ve been busy for a while, so I haven¡¯t been home for quite a while. I¡¯ll go on vacation when I¡¯m done.¡±


    Teacher Qin: Have any of you really met your family and friends?


    As soon as these words came out, the group of teachers became silent.


    The teachers all felt weird.


    ¡­It seemed that they had family and friends in their memory, but why had they never met?


    Teacher Qin: I have proctored Lin Xinghe¡¯s examination room many times, and sometimes I think, what if what she said was true? Could it be that our worlds are also novels? After all, none of us know the specific indicators for selecting students, and every time, we pick up students at the school gate. After passing through the school gate, we return to our hometown. Principal Wang said it was a space-time rift. So, where do the freshmen come from? What if they came from the same place as us?


    Teacher Qin didn¡¯t say any more.


    All the teachers fell into deep thought.


    At the same time, the sudden closure of several exam rooms and the suspension of exams caused a brief riot.


    Many people have never encountered such a situation in school for so many years, and their minds were full of questions¡ª¡ª


    What happened?


    But the riots were quickly quelled.


    The school¡¯s broadcast notice said that there was a minute failure in the examination room operation system. After maintenance, everything would go back to normal. They requested the students to please be patient and prepare for the exam carefully.


    The freshmen who did not need to take the freshman exams were very happy. After all, they just entered the school and learned about such cruel rules.


    They sat ignorantly in the classroom.


    There were classmates with them who shared¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Are you bored? Hop on Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream! She will show you how to score high!¡±


    At this time, Principal Wang was still hesitating.


    The system persuaded, ¡°Host, I understand your concerns, but Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan¡¯s risk factor in the exam room is as high as 80%. Please interrupt the exam as soon as possible. If you want to completely destroy Lin Xinghe, there is a way. You can refer to the case of Xilin¡ªsuppress her with an absolute force value.¡±


    Principal Wang still rejected the system¡¯s proposal.


    The system did not understand how terrifying the Dark Star Region was. The law could not touch it, and every business in it either succeeded massively or failed miserably and horribly¡ªclosing the exam rooms could be enough to get him imprisoned in interstellar prison and sentenced ten years for violating his contract.


    He couldn¡¯t violate the contract!


    And he was confident that as long as Lin Xinghe, Xie Wuan and the others were destroyed, he could reshuffle his hand and bring the villain school back to its previous order.


    Lin Xinghe and the others could not survive in the Bastet exam.


    Of the three princesses, as long as one died, the whole world would collapse, and everyone and everything would be buried with the princess.


    The three princesses saw each other as thorns in their eyes, and once they met, they would try their best to kill each other.

 CH 148.1

    While Fu Zhou and others denounced Principal Wang¡¯s shamelessness, Princess Anna was taking a shower in another room.


    When Lin Xinghe went to pick up Princess Anna from the prison, Princess Anna was covered in injuries. She was curled up in the corner, her hair and nails were all filthy, and her whole body shook.


    Lin Xinghe had inquired carefully. Twenty-five years ago, a mysterious light shrouded the universe, and the Ragdoll Cat King Wangcai ascended the throne. As Wangcai¡¯s pet, Princess Anna lived a luxurious life for 20 years. However, he passed away, and his daughter ascended the throne and became the queen in his stead. She didn¡¯t like Princess Anna, but because of her father¡¯s last wish, she did not kill the princess but instead put her in prison. It had been five years since then.


    Princess Anna spent five years in captivity.


    Although she was scarred, when she raised her head to look at Lin Xinghe, her eyes were still pure and flawless, and her expression was peaceful and calm.


    Her first words were, ¡°Are you here to pick me up?¡±


    Her body was no longer physically perfect, but her voice was very gentle.


    Lin Xinghe agreed to Prince Carl¡¯s demand, so she said, ¡°Yes, I have been ordered by the new king to release you.¡±


    Princess Anna nodded. She stood up with difficulty, picked up her tattered skirt, curtseyed, and said, ¡°Thank you, could I take a shower?¡±


    Lin Xinghe brought Princess Anna back.


    However, after she brought Princess Anna back, the proctor did not respond.


    Someone suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to get the three princesses together? Let¡¯s see if this is the answer?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°There is no need to test that. If we could think of this method, Principal Wang might also be able to. If you don¡¯t know which princess the exam refers to, it¡¯s best not to try randomly. This is the third competitive test room, and from the circumstances of the two previous rooms, it is clear that Principal Wang is trying to be tricky here. The more obvious things are, the more likely they are traps, bringing the three princesses together¡­¡±


    At this moment, Princess Anna came out of the room.


    She had bathed for nearly an hour, and when she reappeared, all the filth was washed away. Her skin was pale and bright, and the wounds on her body were hidden by her pure white dress.


    Her hair was waist-length, soft, and smooth, and its natural blond color was like ears of rice in a wheat field, creating a delicate and shiny aura.


    Many of the girls were stunned.


    Princess Anna held up the hem of her skirt and curtseyed to everyone.


    ¡°I¡¯m Anna. Although I don¡¯t know who you are, thank you for bringing me out. I haven¡¯t seen sunlight for a long time. The sun is so nice today, and the roses are in bloom. I like roses the most. Thank you for giving me another chance to see the roses.¡±


    A life without sun for five years may have driven an ordinary person insane, putting aside the matter of corporeal punishment.


    Everyone felt that Princess Anna had an impenetrable psyche.


    A female classmate was particularly distressed by Princess Anna¡¯s situation and said quickly: ¡°Prince Carl rescued you. He is already the ruler of this planet.¡±


    Princess Anna was slightly taken aback and asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t my fianc¨¦ die twenty-five years ago?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was about to explain but saw Princess Anna smiling happily, ¡°I always knew that he would come to save me. My 25 years of waiting have not been in vain. We swore an oath before the gods¡ªno person or thing could separate us. Even in death, our souls were always together. I saw him die before me, and he¡¯s back now from the dead?¡±


    The female classmate said, ¡°Prince Carl turned into a cat.¡±


    Princess Anna didn¡¯t seem as much shocked as pitying: ¡°He has become a cat, and his life must have been difficult these years. It is my fault that I didn¡¯t stay by his side.¡±


    The female classmate felt that Prince Carl was not worthy of the princess and kept saying that he wanted to save the princess, saying that the princess was the love of his life, but she gave the name of the daughter who was going to be born with the princess to the little American Shorthair. Now that Bastet had been captured, he hadn¡¯t even mentioned Princess Anna for several days. He was simply a scumbag. If he wanted to start a war, he should just start a war. Why did he have to use the motto of saving the princess?


    The female classmate said, ¡°He was born on another planet, took a cat as his wife, and had a daughter named Elizabeth.¡±

 CH 148.2

    Father Anna said graciously: ¡°He still remembers our agreement. He didn¡¯t like cats much, and he was allergic to cat fur, but knowing that I liked them, he even gave me a ragdoll. He was always so gentle. ¡­¡±


    When the female classmate heard it, she immediately thought Prince Carl seemed okay.


    But she quickly recovered, shook her head vigorously, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think this is cheating?¡±


    Princess Anna said: ¡°Of course, he has already turned into a cat. To him, I am a relic of the past. Of course, he can find a new partner. Even if he has not turned into a cat¡­¡±


    She smiled slightly and said, ¡°Then he was only forced by the situation. It was a last resort; he still has me in his heart. How can I blame him? He just made mistakes that all men in the world make. And the child is innocent¡ªhe always wanted a daughter, and I should thank his wife for birthing a daughter for him when I was away. Oh no, even though it was a cat, I am grateful for it too.¡±


    The female classmate was speechless and finally could only say: ¡°You are really kind and generous.¡±


    ¡°You overpraise me.¡± Princess Anna said.


    The female classmate felt defeated.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Who inflicted the wounds you have? Did someone abuse you?¡± However, the scars she saw on Princess Anna looked more man-inflicted than cat inflicted. The height and width of the prison seemed to be tailor-made for Princess Anna. Only people could enter it. Considering the massive size of the cats, they wouldn¡¯t be able to touch Princess Anna.


    Princess Anna said: ¡°They were forced to. Princess Yuanbao hates me and wants to kill me, but she can¡¯t get close to me, so only fellow people can abuse me. But I also understand Princess Yuanbao. Her grandfather, the ragdoll cat King Wangcai that Carl gifted me, was too fond of me and neglected Yuanbao and her mother¡­ So it is understandable that she wants to kill me.¡±


    The crowd was stunned at her words.


    What kind of Virgin Mary was Princess Anna?


    At this moment, everyone heard the little American Shorthair¡¯s voice outside the door, ¡°Sister, are you there? It¡¯s Elizabeth.¡±


    The little American Shorthair was large, and its voice was naturally loud. Everyone in the room could hear it clearly. At this moment, Princess Anna, who had always kept a gentle smile, suddenly changed her face and seemed to be a different person.


    A fruit basket was on the table, and a fruit knife was next to the fruit basket.


    Like a gust of wind, Princess Anna picked up a fruit knife and rushed to the door.


    She yelled, ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±


    However, as she lacked a special skill, Princess Anna was just an ordinary human being. Lin Xinghe and the others had to rely on skills to open the door. Princess Anna was just an ordinary person and naturally couldn¡¯t open a door in the giant cat castle.


    She shrieked, and her eyes were red.


    Elizabeth couldn¡¯t hear clearly, and said, ¡°Sister, what did you say?¡±


    Princess Anna was furious.


    She slashed wildly at the door with the fruit knife.


    Elizabeth said, ¡°Sister, I¡¯m coming in.¡±


    Lin Xinghe shouted, ¡°Wait!¡±


    She hurriedly lowered her voice and said, ¡°Hide Princess Anna quickly¡­ No, knock her out!¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Wuan had already moved his hand, and Princess Anna fainted, toppling onto the ground.


    Lin Xinghe conveniently hid her in the other¡¯s personal space.


    She suddenly asked Xie Wuan, ¡°Are Rick and Roddy still there?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°They¡¯re both still alive.¡±


    She said, ¡°Let Rick come out if he¡¯s the one who knows lightning magic.¡±


    The two freshman bosses had been locked in the portable space halfway through the first competitive exam room, and then got carried to victory in the second. No one was watching their livestream now¡ªafter all, who would watch them stuck inside the same place for days on end?


    Now one of them finally saw the light of day again. The moment he came out, he immediately yelled at Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe, ¡°I XXXXXXXXX your whole family!¡±


    However, before the words fell, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Put him in a skirt, force him into a  wig if you have that particular prop. If you don¡¯t, temporarily turn him into Princess Anna.¡±


    A classmate immediately said, ¡°I can contribute the props!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Quick.¡±


    Seeing that the door was about to be opened by the little American Shorthair¡¯s claws, Rick got stuffed into some clothes and fake blonde hair was attached to his head.


    Rick said in horror, ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Seal his mouth and untie him.¡±


    Someone did it right away.


    At the same time, Princess Elizabeth came in.


    The little American Shorthair¡¯s eyes immediately fell on the human with the blond white dress facing away from it.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I just picked up Princess Anna from the prison¡­¡±


    The little American Shorthair crouched down. Her pupils dilated, her claws emerged, and she let out a small whimper. The next moment, she pounced on Rick.


    Rick did not expect such a huge cat to appear suddenly and immediately used magic to summon a bolt of extremely thick lightning.


    However, the little American Shorthair didn¡¯t even respond, as though it didn¡¯t feel a thing.


    Rick used magic spells one after another to no avail.


    Dumbfounded, he could only keep running like a panicked mouse. And the little American Shorthair panted as she chased Rick around the room.

 CH 149.1

    Rick even summoned a pair of wings to fly away.


    But he was more exposed to the little American Shorthair¡¯s claws when flying in mid-air, and Elizabeth tore off half of his wangs. The pain caused him to fall to the ground with a thud.


    The furniture in the house was shattered by the collision with the little American Shorthair.


    To ensure their safety, Lin Xinghe and others flew up very high so as not to be accidentally injured.


    Fu Zhou sighed with emotion, ¡°You even had the foresight to spare Rick and Roddy, and now they finally come in handy. What I have to say is that facing these¡­ invincible bosses is really terrible. Our attacks are completely useless.¡±


    The audience also agreed.


    ¡¾The leader really exemplifies thinking three steps ahead! ¡¿


    ¡¾If it were me, I would have killed Rick and Roddy long ago. After all, they wanted to kill me, so it would be a little more dangerous if I kept them in the exam room. ¡¿


    ¡¾I never imagined that there would be such a use. ¡¿


    ¡¾The use of competitors hahahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾Does anyone think this exam room is weird? Do you think that Princess Anna and Princess Elizabeth have lost their minds as if they are desperate to kill each other as long as they feel each other¡¯s existence? Originally, if only Elizabeth had done so, I could understand this. After all, it does have such strength. But as a human, Princess Anna actually picked up a fruit knife and wanted to kill Elizabeth with her own power. ¡¿


    ¡¾That¡¯s what I think is weird too¡­¡¿


    What the audience saw, Lin Xinghe did also.


    She looked at the little American Shorthair.


    At this moment, the little American Shorthair only saw Rick in its eyes¡ªmore strictly speaking, it only saw Rick, whom it mistook for Princess Anna. And the same was true for Princess Anna just now. After hearing the little American Shorthair say that she was Elizabeth, as soon as Princess Anna heard Elizabeth¡¯s voice, she went crazy. She literally had just been talking about how she could sympathize with Prince Carl and Princess Yuanbao.


    Lin Xinghe had been standing beside Princess Anna just now.


    She could see it clearly.


    Her desire to kill Elizabeth was ingrained in her bones. And Elizabeth¡¯s actions were similar¡ªthey could even be said to be mirror replicas.


    ¡­¡­why was that?


    How much did you have to hate someone to have this instinctive reaction?


    What¡¯s more, from an objective standpoint, Elizabeth herself did not hurt Princess Anna. She was only born from Prince Carl and another American Shorthair. Even if there was enmity, the rage should not be directed at Elizabeth.


    Rick was now approaching death.


    When he left Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space, he thought that he had finally escaped from prison and could see the sun, but he never missed Xie Wuan¡¯s personal space like this moment. He thought it was the bleakest moment in his life, but he didn¡¯t expect a more bleak moment waiting for him.


    He had to ask Xie Wuan for help: ¡°I want to go back! Let me go back! As long as you let me go back! I will promise you anything!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Bring him back.¡±


    As soon as Rick disappeared, the red-eyed Princess Elizabeth sniffed around frantically.


    It wasn¡¯t until Rick¡¯s scent dissipated that she gradually recovered.


    As if nothing had happened, she said in amazement, ¡°Oh my god, did another cat come in and bully you? Why is there such a mess? No one was hurt, right? Sister, where are you?¡±


    Lin Xinghe flew down and said, ¡°Well, a cat came in just now, made a mess, and left.¡±


    The little American Shorthair said angrily, ¡°How could they do this? My father said that he would treat you as a guest! Without your help, how could my father capture Bastet so easily? Which cat was it? What was its name? What did it look like? Don¡¯t be afraid, Sister! Elizabeth supports you!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It was a black cat.¡±


    The little American Shorthair said, ¡°Oh, I know who it is! It must be Judy! It hates humans the most! Sister, wait! Elizabeth will call her to apologize to you!¡±


    The little American Shorthair curled its tail and left the room.


    Some students immediately closed the door.


    Lin Xinghe released Princess Anna from the portable space.


    At this time, Princess Anna woke up.


    She showed the exact same look as Princess Elizabeth and said, ¡°Why are you all looking at me like this? Did something happen?¡± She sat up slowly, looked around, and said in amazement, ¡°Did I faint? What¡¯s wrong here? Why is it so messy all of a sudden?¡±


    Princess Anna also didn¡¯t remember what happened to her before she went mad.


    Lin Xinghe reassured her with a few words and gave a random reason.


    She and Xie Wuan looked at each other.


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°Prison?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes.¡±

 CH 149.2

    After Prince Carl occupied Bastet, he had not clearly dictated what to do with the overthrown family but rather threw them all into prison and barred anyone else from entering without his express orders.


    However, this was not a problem for candidates with stealth skills.


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan entered the prison where the former royal family was imprisoned without any trouble.


    The prison of the Cat Castle was very spacious. For the giant cats, only half a paw could pass through the cell bars, but as far as Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan were concerned, they could directly pass through the gaps between the bars.


    Lin Xinghe had seen Princess Yuanbao in the news reports on the computer.


    Princess Yuanbao was a very beautiful ragdoll cat. Based on the rating standards of her modern society, she was definitely of competition champion-level beauty. Her azure eyes were deep, like a sapphire shining on the seabed, large and round. Her coat color was also a standard two-tone.


    Even in prison, she was immaculate, with a rose-lace ruby


    scarf around its neck that matched her blue eyes.


    Whenever, wherever, she was a proud and beautiful princess.


    Lin Xinghe had read many reports about the luxurious life of Princess Yuanbao.


    Princess Yuanbao had an extreme fixation with her fur. She kept ten shorthair cats around and ordered them to wear clothes that covered their body, limbs, and head every day, only showing their eyes, nose, ears, and mouth for licking her fur.


    Princess Yuanbao spent a lot of time being licked every day.


    In the cat world, licking someone else¡¯s hair meant being the boss, because the licker would leave their own scent on the licked cat. Princess Yuanbao didn¡¯t like the smell of other cats, but the artificial licking machine produced wasn¡¯t as effective, so every time Princess Yuanbao made the ten shorthair cats who were waiting to lick her rinse their mouths with rose mouthwash before the licking.


    As a cat, she had a soft spot for roses and loved everything related to roses.


    Her cat litter box was custom-made in the shape of a rose, and even the cat litter inside was carved into the shape of a rose.


    The Cat Queen once criticized her for being too extravagant.


    But Princess Yuanbao was not affected at all. Instead, she said to the queen, ¡°Is it wrong for me to want what I like? Can¡¯t I pursue something different from others as a princess?¡±


    There was once a news report that secretly rebuked Princess Yuanbao¡¯s life for being too frivolous. After Princess Yuanbao knew about it, it immediately found the cat reporter who wrote the report and argued¡ª¡ª


    ¡°I am a dignified princess of a planet, so if I live a more luxurious life, how can I be called frivolous? I just found ten cats to serve me. If I want more cats to serve me, is it wrong? Tell me where I¡¯m wrong. Oh? Fewer cats? Why fewer? I like the number ten. I just like ten cats around me. What are you writing this story for? What do you want?¡±


    The cat reporter faltered.


    Princess Yuanbao continued, ¡°Is it so difficult to say what you want? Just go and get what you want. Thinking about it, you working cats just want to get a promotion and a salary increase. Then go and talk to your boss and say you want a promotion and a raise. If you can¡¯t, you just make trouble and scold me for using too much money. Can you get a promotion and a raise? No, you can¡¯t; you can only get my disgust. I don¡¯t like you now. I don¡¯t like your news agency anymore, and I don¡¯t want to see your news agency or you again.¡±


    Princess Yuanbao did what she said, and within a few days, the news agency went bankrupt and the cat reporter never appeared again.


    As for how it was done, no cat knew, and no news reports mentioned it.


    From these reports, they roughly understood the character of Princess Yuanbao, which was quite different from the other two princesses. It had to be said that among the three princesses, the only one with a relatively normal personality may be Princess Elizabeth, the little American Shorthair.


    Roddy in Xie Wuan¡¯s carry-on space was ignorant to what happened out there. When Rick left, he was a little jealous, thinking the other had found a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, when the other returned, he took the initiative to tie himself up, looking like he was exhausted.


    This made Roddy uneasy.


    And not long after, Roddy was also taken out.


    In less than 20 minutes, Roddy returned to the portable space. Like Rick, he took the initiative to tie himself up and hung his head.


    Rick called him hoarsely.


    He also responded hoarsely.


    Both saw the same emotion in the other¡¯s eyes ¨C the outside world was terrible.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe fell into deep thought when she saw Princess Yuanbao, who had recovered from a mad state to a dazed state, then arrogantly arranged her scarf.

 CH 150.1

    The audience was dumbfounded.


    ¡¾The three princesses want to kill each other? ¡¿


    ¡¾It must be exciting if they meet. ¡¿


    ¡¾In f the one who dies is the princess in the exam question, the exam question would have no solution. If they fail this one, finishing the previous exams would be useless. ¡¿


    ¡¾I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the point. Don¡¯t you find that these princesses are a bit strange? ¡¿


    ¡¾Such a big cat is a princess, of course, it is strange. ¡¿


    ¡¾No, don¡¯t you think that the characters of these princesses are a bit extreme? Only the Shorthair is relatively normal¡­¡¿


    ¡¾What does the exam prompt mean? Principal Wang has made it too difficult for the candidates¡­¡¿


    As the students expressed their opinions, Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan had quietly left the prison.


    The two each took their own flying tools and flew slowly in the sky.


    Lin Xinghe asked Xie Wuan, ¡°Brother Xie, you have gone through a lot of exam rooms. Have you ever encountered something similar?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°The behavior of them wanting to kill each other is instinctive as if it¡¯s another personality. As long as they think about the specific location of the other person, they will start to attack until the other person disappears, and afterwards, they lose their memories of the situation.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You mean they all have dual personalities? And the hidden personality wants to kill eliminate the other princesses?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°This could be, but there is another possibility.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Which is?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°You can infer it. What do you think is the reason?¡±


    Lin Xinghe stated, ¡°Because the other party will kill them. If you don¡¯t strike first, you will be at a disadvantage.¡±


    Xie Wuan continued, ¡°What benefits can you gain from killing the opponent?¡±


    Lin Xinghe pondered slightly, ¡°You won¡¯t die.¡±


    As if thinking of something, Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes brightened, and she said, ¡°I see! You mean it¡¯s possible that their consciousnesses are dominated by this world, and this world cannot allow them to meet, and they cannot be allowed to live together in the same place? They can¡¯t coexist openly and fairly? So when they see each other, they must kill each other, or they will die?¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s thoughts were instantly clarified, and her speech became faster and faster, ¡°Then I have a new question: why can¡¯t this world allow them to coexist openly and fairly?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°This clue should guide the plot of this novel.¡±


    The audience was astounded.


    ¡¾What were they talking about? ¡¿


    ¡¾I understand every word, but I don¡¯t understand the words together. ¡¿


    ¡¾What is the cause of this world? Is it the mysterious light? ¡¿


    ¡¾Why can¡¯t they coexist? Why do they try to kill each other as soon as they see the others? ¡¿


    ¡¾why? why? why? why? ¡¿


    ¡¾This concubine* doesn¡¯t know! ¡¿


    ¡¾SL and Brother Xie speak their own language. Is this the world of bosses? ¡¿


    ¡¾No, it is the world of love. ¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahaha don¡¯t play tricks; the leader and Brother Xie are solving the problem seriously! ¡¿


    TL Notes: This line refers to a common palace/court intrigue C-drama line. The emperor will ask one of his concubines why something happened, and the concubine will answer that she doesn¡¯t know. ED Note: when I am asked about math


    And after hearing Xie Wuan¡¯s words, Lin Xinghe froze.


    She said, ¡°The three princesses know of each other¡¯s existence. Princess Yuanbao and Princess Anna both have a soft spot for roses, Princess Elizabeth too. On Twenty-three Island, she lingered in front of our roses. It can be further explained that their preferences are similar to the similarities in their lives. Prince Carl had sex with so many cats, but only gave birth to one Elizabeth, which is not in line with the reproductive instinct of cats, and the cat queen also only gave birth to a cat, Princess Yuanbao. They have not been sterilized. If cats mate, 99% of them will get pregnant, and there will usually be multiple births. These couples only have one child, which is not in line with common sense. The master of this world seems to have manipulated this¡­ A royal cat couple is only allowed to have one child, and it must be a female cat to be a princess¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°The master of the world can also control the reproduction of creatures. No matter how outrageous a novel is, it needs logic. There is no logic at all, which means that the master¡¯s word is final¡­ Whether it is logical or not, the master of the world can do anything they want in it¡­¡±

 CH 150.2

    She looked at Xie Wuan and said, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible? Let¡¯s make a bold guess that the world we are in is actually a dream, and more strictly speaking, it is the inner reflection of the dreamer. The small settings that defy common sense can also be explained¡­ Dreams are created according to people¡¯s experiences and what they have seen and heard. The master of our world, that is, the dreamer, should be in a place similar to the past modern society I¡¯m said to be from. This cat world is almost at the same level, and many small settings conflict with a future interstellar era. This includes the IOS system in the computer as well as the cat breeds American and English Shorthair, etc. There being multiple planets and flying machines should be the what the dreamer imagines of the interstellar era¡­ You saw the battle between Bastet and Prince Carl¡¯s army. Although they started off with space ships, they did not have any weapons and basically relied on hand-to-hand combat¡­ ¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°The three princesses are likely a philosophical question.¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded and said, ¡°Yes, yes, I think so too.¡±


    She smiled at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan also smiled slightly.


    Audience ¨C


    ¡¾No! Don¡¯t smile at each other! ¡¿


    ¡¾What philosophical question? I do not understand! ¡¿


    ¡¾Don¡¯t leave! Keep talking! I still don¡¯t get it! ¡¿


    The two returned to the room where the main force was.


    Lin Xinghe looked around and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Princess Anna?¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°She went to bed.¡±


    Seeing the expressions of the two, Jiuge asked, ¡°Have you found anything?¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°Yes, we made a great discovery!¡±


    She explained her previous speculation.


    Xie Wuan continued, ¡°This world involves philosophical issues.¡±


    A classmate fell silent for a while and said, ¡°Xianjun, aren¡¯t you a cultivator? Why are you still studying Marxist philosophy?¡±


    Xie Wuan glanced at him, and the classmate shut up.


    The classmate next to him squeezed out a smile, ¡°Xianjun, don¡¯t worry about him, every cultivator must learn Marx these days! Just follow the trend!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The life and death of the three princesses involve the survival of this world. They are similar but have completely different personalities. Suppose this is one person¡¯s dream, but there are three such princesses. I thought at first that maybe the three princesses allude to the real life of the dreamer¡ªmaybe one of them is the dreamer and the other two represent the people or things that the dreamer feels inner desire or inner disgust towards. But this does not explain why the three princesses cannot approach each other. Therefore, I¡¯m leaning towards the theory that the three princesses are actually one person¡­¡±


    ¡°The same person?¡±


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°Yes, the same person. This is also the philosophical issue that Brother Xie said just now. The personality structure consists of the id, the ego, and the superego. The three princesses form the dreamer. The id is based on the principle of happiness and ignores social norms. As long as you are happy, nothing else matters, and the id is driven by desire, that is, Princess Yuanbao. Ego represents reason and wit, and it is bound by social norms to a greater extent, that is, Princess Elizabeth. The superego is a generous person; it is an ideal, not a reality. This is in line with Princess Anna¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe added, ¡°The id, ego, and superego make up a person¡¯s personality, and they can coexist, but the world we are in now is a dream, and dreams are omnipotent. Because of this, we have invincible cat bosses as well as the separation of the id, ego, and superego¡­ Dreams allude to people¡¯s hearts, so the existence of the NPCs could be the dreamer¡¯s worries, childhood, or current problems imposed on a world. If the three personality fragments want to kill each other, the dreamer doesn¡¯t want them to meet, yet the dreamer still created them. This contradiction proves that the dreamer both does and doesn¡¯t want them to meet.¡±


    She continued, ¡°The dreamer may hope that things that cannot be solved in real life can be solved in dreams¡­ The princess in the prompt does not refer to the three princesses but rather the dreamer. What we want to recapture is the dreamer!¡±


    Everyone was stunned, but this explanation wiped away all the doubts they encountered after entering the examination room, such as the invincible bosses, the illogical setting, the existence of three princesses¡¯ strange personalities, and the primitive fighting techniques.


    Everyone felt that Lin Xinghe¡¯s speculation was justified, and that it might even be the truth.


    After they accepted her inference, everyone observed Bastet and found that some of the settings were really in line with modern society. They were still using oil without an alternative energy source¡­


    Another example was that the hospital that received humans was almost the same as modern hospital facilities. The only upgrade was that electronic screens turned into holographic projections¡­


    Yet another example was cat food. Even after they became giant, the cats still ate cat foods, with most of the brands being household names in modern society.

 CH 151.1

    They finally progressed in this exam room.


    Now that they knew the princess of the prompt referred to the dreamer, they were getting closer to solving the prompt.


    Only¡­¡­


    How would they save the dreamer?


    Someone said, ¡°Princess Anna, Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Yuanbao are parts of the dreamer¡¯s personality. Can we combine the three personalities into one?¡±


    Another person said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible. The three of them will kill each other as soon as they meet. It¡¯s unlikely that the three of them will be integrated into one.¡±


    ¡°But according to this line of thinking, if you want to save the dreamer, you can really only combine three separate personalities into one.¡±


    ¡°Yes, according to the theory of id, the ego and the superego, their combination is the real whole. From a philosophical point of view, everyone has an id, ego and superego, and the three complement each other, but in this dream, the three personalities madly repel each other, and it is quite difficult integrate them into one.¡±


    Everyone looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe pondered slightly and said, ¡°Now that we know the direction, the situation is much clearer.¡± She paused, and then said, ¡°Dreams often reflect people¡¯s hearts and reality. We haven¡¯t figured out the plot of this exam yet, so we have to find out why the dreamer is dreaming this and how to save her. Although for now, Princess Anna, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Yuanbao contradict each other, so as long as we find a breakthrough, we can turn the situation around¡­¡±


    She smirked in her trademark villainous smile, ¡°Actually, this is a game of finding the entrance. As long as you find the right entrance, everything can be said. Now what we need is to find out more about the three princesses. Their common points, as well as their differences, can be roughly figured out in the real story line of this examination room.¡±


    A classmate asked: ¡°¡­how do we find it?¡±


    Fu Zhou said: ¡°Let¡¯s just use psychological warfare. We have three divisions, each responsible for extracting information from one princess¡¯ mouth, and finally summarizing them together?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No, that would take too long.¡±


    She smirked again, ¡°We can ask Prince Carl to help us ask.¡±


    Everyone: ¡°¡­Huh?¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°I need a classmate who can create illusions¡­¡±


    Among the dozen or so candidates, there were two classmates who were good at creating illusions.


    Lin Xinghe looked at them.


    However, before they said anything, Xie Wuan said, ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you.¡±


    The two classmates who were good at creating illusions nodded frantically like chickens pecking rice and said, ¡°Yes, yes, Xianjun alone is enough.¡±


    It was only then that Lin Xinghe remembered that when it came to high class illusions, no one could match Xie Wuan.


    After all, he was a man who could even lie to the live footage.


    She couldn¡¯t help remembering that in the previous novel world, he created an illusion by himself, deceived Principal Wang, cheated all the livestreams, and tricked everyone, just to have those scenes where he was alone with her.


    Lin Xinghe had always known that Xie Wuan was a heaven-defying existence, and he may have fooled so many people, even such a high-tech live broadcast. This alone could prove that he was different from the others who lived in the villain¡¯s school.


    He was a special being.


    But now was not the time to talk about this, for the top priority right now was to solve this exam.


    Lin Xinghe whispered a few words to Xie Wuan.


    Everyone listened.


    Probably because the two tacitly understood each other, Lin Xinghe said a few words, and Xie Wuan already nodded his head to show his understanding. Within a few minutes, everyone saw more and more joy in Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes. She turned her head and said to everyone, ¡°Do you want to go to the theater?¡±


    Leiting naturally wanted to go.


    After all, it could get closer to Xiao Xue Ji. As long as Leiting could stay with Xiao Xue Ji, it would even turn into a huge green light bulb.


    After Leiting¡¯s statement, others were eager to try. They decided to leave one person to watch Princess Anna to prevent her from being discovered by Princess Elizabeth.


    After finding Prince Carl¡¯s whereabouts, the group flew to the garden of the castle in a mighty manner.


    The garden was full of red roses.


    In the center of the red rose was a very tall cat climbing frame.


    Prince Carl was looking at Bastet from the top of the cat climbing frame, waiting for a few guard cats at the bottom. After Lin Xinghe spoke to the guard cat, the guard cat climbed to the top with a few bounces. After a while, he came down and said to Lin Xinghe and the others, ¡°You can go up.¡±


    Lin Xinghe and her party flew upward.

 CH 151.2

    Some classmates complained, ¡°Prince Carl really attacked Bastet under the banner of saving Princess Anna. Now he has time to enjoy the scenery and not to find Princess Anna, harrumph.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Prince Carl is the fianc¨¦ of Princess Anna and the father of Princess Elizabeth. Both roles are irreplaceable existences for people¡¯s life. They can appear in the dream of the dream maker. There must be an inseparable relationship¡­¡±


    The group flew in front of Prince Carl.


    Prince Carl asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°I heard that you are looking for me? Did something happen to Princess Anna?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said solemnly, ¡°It has nothing to do with Princess Anna, it has something to do with Bastet and that mysterious light.¡±


    Prince Carl was slightly startled, ¡°The mysterious light?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan raised his palm, and a giant screen-like illusion appeared in front of Prince Carl.


    The mysterious light appeared again and enveloped the entire universe.


    This time, it was the canines who were favored by the mysterious light. Overnight, all the canines became huge and immortal. A snow wolf led a pack of wolves to capture Bastet and became the new ruler.


    The old ruler, Prince Carl, became a prisoner.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°This is a prophetic dream. Before the cats became rulers, I had the same dream. At that time, I thought it was absurd¡ªhow could cats rule this planet? But when the mysterious light came, my prophetic dream came true. Now I¡¯m having prophetic dreams again¡­¡±


    Prince Carl had personally witnessed the overwhelming power of Lin Xinghe and this group of people. Now that he heard Lin Xinghe talk about this dream, he had no doubts. He immediately changed his expression and asked, ¡°When will the mysterious light come again?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I don¡¯t know this. I can¡¯t dream of the specific date. I only know that it is in the future. It may be in a few days or a few years¡­¡±


    After the conversation changed, Lin Xinghe said again, ¡°However, the prophetic dream also told me another thing about the three princesses. The three princesses can block the arrival of the mysterious light. The three princesses are Princess Anna, your daughter Princess Elizabeth, and the former Princess Yuanbao. The three princesses were cursed by the mysterious light, but when they saw each other, they would go mad, and they would not stop going mad until they killed each other.¡±


    Prince Carl said, ¡°How is that possible?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, you can do an experiment, but you must be able to control the crazy princesses.¡±


    Prince Carl pondered slightly and finally chose to do an experiment.


    He chose Princess Yuanbao and Princess Elizabeth as experimental subjects.


    As soon as the two princesses met, they really started to go crazy, chasing each other as their eyes turned red.


    Although Prince Carl was dubious, he still prepared a large number of cat guards, but even so, it took a lot of effort to control the two princesses.


    As soon as the two princesses parted, they knew nothing of what had just happened


    After all, Elizabeth was Prince Carl¡¯s biological daughter, and Prince Carl naturally knew what she looked like.


    As a result, Prince Carl believed in the dream that Lin Xinghe prophesized and at the same time grew anxious.


    He had worked so hard to become the ruler of Bastet, and of course it was impossible for him to cede his power to a bunch of stupid canines.


    Prince Carl immediately ordered the slaughter of all canines.


    Lin Xinghe stopped him and said, ¡°In my opinion, even if you kill the canines, another animal will emerge. It is better to end the rule of the mysterious light completely. Maybe you can recover your body that way. After the cats are domesticated again, you can still rule Bastet, right?¡±


    Prince Carl asked, ¡°How can the three princesses prevent the mysterious light?¡±


    Lin Xinghe showed an embarrassed look and then said, ¡°I didn¡¯t see it very clearly in the dream, but at present I only know that the three princesses cannot see each other, so we need to find out what the three princesses have in common¡­¡± Without changing her expression, she continued, ¡°Only if we find something in common with all of them, maybe we will understand why we were cursed by the mysterious light. If the princesses don¡¯t go crazy when they see each other anymore, you should be able to break the curse, and once the curse is broken, the mysterious light will not appear again.¡±


    Prince Carl immediately ordered the whole country to find the common ground of the three princesses, tried many times to prevent the princesses from going mad, and also provided a lot of force to help.


    Audience¡ª


    ¡¾Amazing! Really amazing! ¡¿


    ¡¾This is the tactic of letting others do your exam for you, hahahahaha. ¡¿


    ¡¾In this way, many cats will take the initiative to provide information they know, and it will be easy to find out what the three princesses have in common. ¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, yes, and there is also a force to suppress the princesses, so they can test many times without the fear that the princess will kill each other. ¡¿


    ¡¾Two birds with one stone! ¡¿


    ¡­


    Under such an efficient method, in less than a day, Prince Carl¡¯s subordinates gave Lin Xinghe and the others a list of some of their commonalities.

 CH 152

    Prince Carl firmly believed in the prophetic dream. He was extremely afraid of his empire falling out of reach, and he was more concerned than anyone else to make the three princesses no longer instinctively try to kill each other. He personally had a heart to heart with Princess Elizabeth.


    Prince Carl also went to see Princess Anna.


    Prince Carl shed tears before Princess Anna. His huge cat eyes welled up as he told all his yearning and love for her over the years. He also referred to his wives on the alien planet, and explained in various ways, saying that he was forced to do so. He had no way out of the situation at that time, so he could only make such a choice. He even said that now his goal had been achieved, he could abandon his wife from the alien planet at any time, and finally mentioned the name of Princess Elizabeth. He also said affectionately, ¡°I have never forgotten the agreement between you and me.¡±


    Princess Anna also had tears in her eyes. She rubbed her face against Prince Carl¡¯s paw pads, and said, ¡°I knew you would never forget. I know you love me.¡±


    Prince Carl, ¡°Do you blame me?¡±


    Princess Anna said, ¡°How can I blame you? You were forced into it.¡±


    A group of candidates watched their reunion after their parting, and they were amazed. Considering that this was a dream reflecting real life, they all felt that the dream maker was very likely to have met a big scumbag in reality.


    Everyone analyzed the common points of the three princesses on the list and felt that Prince Carl had already revealed the story background of this exam room to everyone.


    Although the three princesses in the dream had different fathers, the childhood experiences of the three princesses were all similar.


    They all had a father who always thought someone else was better than them. They all wanted to be recognized by their own fathers and felt their inferiority deep inside. Even Princess Yuanbao was no exception. They extrapolated that the dreamer had a similarly horrible childhood and low self-esteem.


    The love lives of the three princesses were also similar. They each had a fiance who cheated on them and had a child with his mistress. It was just that the three princesses handled it differently. Princess Anna chose to accept and tolerate it, Princess Elizabeth chose to break up, and Princess Yuanbao chose to kill her fiance.


    Lin Xinghe concluded. ¡°In this way, it is easy to understand why the dreamer had such a dream. She lived under the shadow of her father¡¯s invisible suppression since she was a child, resulting in low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence. Meeting a fianc¨¦ who cheated and had a child with the mistress should be the source of the dream maker¡¯s pain, and that¡¯s why such a dream was created¡­¡±


    Someone asked, ¡°According to this analysis, which princess¡¯s method did the dreamer use?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The dreamer likely considered all of the methods. Now we have launched the story line and found the source of the dreamer¡¯s pain. What we need to do is to alleviate the source of the princesses¡¯ pains. They should be able to merge into one then, which will end the dream, and the exam room should also end¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe added: ¡°Helping them should be simple. The three split princesses all represent the psychological shadows of the dreamer at different times. Princess Anna is her emotions, Princess Elizabeth is her desire for fatherly love, Princess Yuanbao is the negative effects brought by excessive release of her desires¡­¡±


    She looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan understood in seconds and asked, ¡°Illusion?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Princess Anna was in their room.


    Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan were chatting and talking. Then, Xie Wuan turned Lin Xinghe into the appearance of Princess Anna¡¯s mother. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Prince Carl, the ruler, the information of the three princesses from childhood to adulthood was thoroughly checked, including the image of Princess Anna¡¯s mother, who died early.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe appeared in Princess Anna¡¯s house, Princess Anna¡¯s eyes instantly turned red.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about other people¡¯s views, you don¡¯t have to consider other people¡¯s moods, and you don¡¯t always have to force a smile. You can live as you want. You will always be your mother¡¯s best child.¡±


    Princess Anna didn¡¯t even ask how her long-dead mother appeared and jumped directly into her mother¡¯s arms, sobbing like a child.


    Lin Xinghe went to find Princess Elizabeth and Princess Yuanbao in a similar way.


    She still used the image of Princess Anna¡¯s mother.


    When the two princesses saw Princess Anna¡¯s mother, their eyes were also red.


    Lin Xinghe said kindly, ¡°Elizabeth, you are the best. You don¡¯t need your father¡¯s approval, nor that of anyone else. In Mom¡¯s heart, you have always been the best child.¡±


    ¡°Yuanbao, you have not done anything wrong. You will always be your mother¡¯s good daughter.¡±


    The three princesses kept weeping.


    The onlookers did not know how Lin Xinghe grasped the mentality of each princess so accurately. With just a few words, she touched the deepest vulnerability of the princesses, and they all burst into tears.


    At this time, Xie Wuan brought Princess Elizabeth and Princess Anna over.


    When the three princesses met, they didn¡¯t show any signs of insanity. They approached each other. In the end, the two giant cats gradually became smaller and entered Princess Anna¡¯s body.


    A dazzling white light burst out from Princess Anna¡¯s body, gradually enveloping the surroundings.


    When the dazzling light disappeared, Bastet had completely disappeared, replaced by a modern hospital ward that Lin Xinghe was quite familiar with. A woman who looked exactly like Princess Anna lay on the hospital bed. Her body was full of tubes, and the heart rate monitor beside the hospital bed gradually climbed from ten to twenty, then to thirty, forty, fifty¡­


    The appearance of more than 20 candidates made the single ward instantly cramped.


    It was also at this time that a nurse pushed in the door and was shocked to see so many people. She was about to say something but saw that the heart rate on the heart rate monitor had turned into seventy-five.


    At this time, she didn¡¯t care about the people who appeared so abruptly and shouted to the doctor outside the door, ¡°Dr. Wang, the heart rate of the patient in Room 805 has returned to normal! It¡¯s amazing!¡±


    A doctor in a white coat and a group of nurses entered in a hurry and drove Lin Xinghe, Xie Wuan. and the others out of the ward.


    Most of the candidates outside the ward were a little confused.


    Especially the candidates who did not choose to go into the castle and stayed on the island instead.


    They were still drinking coconut milk on the island just now, how did the environment turn into a hospital full of medical disinfectant alcohol in a blink of an eye?


    A classmate explained it.


    It dawned on them.


    ¡ª¡ªOh, they got carried again.

 CH 153

    The audience was also a little dumbfounded.


    ¡¾What? I just watched SL as she operated powerfully and came out in a blink of an eye? ¡¿


    ¡¾To be honest, I still haven¡¯t figured how SL solved the problem. The dream is over? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oh, that¡¯s awesome! ¡¿


    ¡¾The three princesses really became one, and the dream ended! I seem to be watching a prodigy do a question¡ªI¡¯m still thinking about what the question means, while she has listed many solutions! ¡¿


    ¡¾The dream has been broken, why is the examination room not over yet? ¡¿


    ¡¾Maybe the dreamer hasn¡¯t woken up yet? ¡¿


    ¡­


    At this moment, the candidates were also waiting for the proctor to announce the end of the examination room. After all, they had left the dreamland. From the heart rate monitor just now, it seemed that the dreamer was almost awake.


    Principal Wang¡¯s prompt was a test of teamwork. Without a brain like Lin Xinghe and without the cooperation of a group of people¡¯s force value, it would be impossible for them to get in touch with the three princesses, let alone fuse the three princesses together.


    But the exam was almost over now.


    Everyone was happy, and the students who decided to withdraw from the third competitive examination room bid goodbye to those who decided to stay.


    ¡°Good luck! I will watch your exams in the livestream!¡±


    ¡°Wait for me to come out and let¡¯s have dinner together! I¡¯ll pay!¡±


    ¡­


    After a while, the doctors and nurses in the ward came out.


    The doctor asked, ¡°Which of you are Liu Anna¡¯s family members? She is a special patient and cannot be visited without permission. Bringing in so many people is not conducive to the patient¡¯s rest¡­¡±


    The doctor paused and repeated the question, ¡°Which of you are Liu Anna¡¯s family members?¡±


    Lin Xinghe stood forward and acknowledged herself generously.


    ¡°I¡¯m her niece.¡±


    The doctor whispered a few words to the other nurses before saying to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Lin Xinghe responded and followed the doctor to his office.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe entered, she was scolded by the doctor, ¡°Although she is a special patient, how can you as family members not come over for a whole year? Patients need the care and company of their families. What did you do? Huh? You didn¡¯t even have time to make a phone call?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡­ just came back from abroad. I don¡¯t know what happened. Why is my aunt a special patient? What¡¯s wrong with my aunt?¡±


    The doctor frowned and said, ¡°This is the era of information. Didn¡¯t your family tell you about your aunt?¡± As if thinking of something, the doctor sighed and said, ¡°Forget it, your family hasn¡¯t come to the hospital for a whole year, so it¡¯s normal that you didn¡¯t know. You are willing to come to visit your aunt, so at least you have some filial piety. She has been in a bad state recently, and she just came out of the ICU last week. Several doctors and I thought she couldn¡¯t even survive that. God, I didn¡¯t expect a miracle to happen today. The indicators of various tests are very close to normal, and when her life stabilizes, you can transfer her back to the psychiatric department to continue treatment¡­¡±


    Next, Lin Xinghe asked the nurses to inquire about Liu Anna¡¯s affairs. After summarizing it, she found that it was similar to what they had guessed in the dream.


    Liu Anna was born in a well-off family, but unfortunately her mother passed away when she was five or six years old. Not long after, her father remarried, and her stepmother soon became pregnant and gave birth to a younger brother. Her father was a typical macho, and he seldom cared about his daughter¡¯s emotions. The stepmother didn¡¯t like Liu Anna at all, and her emotional education was even more lacking.


    When Liu Anna was 22 years old, she met Lin Feng, the son of the richest man in the area, whose English name was Carl. The two fell in love and soon got engaged.


    However, after the engagement, Carl cheated, and the mistress was pregnant and wanted to force her way into a formal relationship with Carl. Carl said he would not contact her again, but the child was innocent. Liu Anna, who took the blow, was at a loss, and everyone advised her not to care, as long as she married Karl, she would be able to live a carefree princess life. Liu Anna endured it and married Carl.


    She lived a depressed married life for several years and finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. She cut off Carl¡¯s genitals with a knife in the middle of the night and was finally sentenced to six years in prison for intentional assault.


    Just before being sent to prison, Liu Anna was found to be mentally ill, so she was sent to a mental hospital for treatment. During the treatment, she self-harmed many times and slowly fell into a coma.


    During Liu Anna¡¯s treatment, her father never came to see her.


    After learning about Liu Anna¡¯s story, everyone was a little saddened and finally understood why there were three different princesses in the dream.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The recapture of the princess in the exam question does not seem to refer to Liu Anna, but to the princess in Liu Anna¡¯s heart. It has a symbolic meaning, allowing Liu Anna to get rid of the shackles of the past and be born again without the need of her father¡¯s attention. The little princess inside her doesn¡¯t need to rely on others to live a princess life. She just has to be her own princess. Liu Anna¡¯s life symptoms have gradually decreased, and when she wakes up completely, this exam room should be over.¡±


    After Lin Xinghe said this, the other candidates were relieved.


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°The classmates who want to enter the next examination room will enter the ward with me and wait for Liu Anna to wake up together¡­¡±


    Everyone had already arranged the places, and the students who wanted to enter the fourth competitive examination room took a step forward.


    Lin Xinghe counted the number of people. Thinking of something, she looked at Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°What are you going to do with the two inside?¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked back, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°Keep them for now.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°I think so too.¡±


    Fu Zhou initially didn¡¯t quite understand why Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t cut the grass off at the roots, but after seeing the usefulness of the fodder, he also said, ¡°This competitive examination room is already so devious. We definitely need the fodder in the next room, but that means we¡¯ll be two spaces less.¡±


    The classmates who just took a step forward looked at each other.


    However, this was not a difficult decision. Lin Xinghe¡¯s Pentagon core had to enter the next exam room, but the rest was up to everyone else to discuss. After the third competitive examination room, they all knew that the next would be significantly harder than even this one.


    Soon, two classmates readily agreed to quit.


    The remaining candidates who decided to follow the next competitive examination room entered Liu Anna¡¯s ward together.


    The moment they entered the ward, Anna Liu, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened her eyes.


    She stared at Lin Xinghe blankly.


    Perhaps because she just woke up, she silently mouthed while wearing an oxygen inhaler¡ª


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    And at this moment, the proctor¡¯s voice sounded¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Congratulations on passing the exam. The exam will be closed within five minutes. No living creatures are allowed to leave the exam room. Please abide by the rules of the exam room. After five minutes, you will enter the next exam room.¡±

 CH 154

    There were five minutes left before the last competitive examination room.


    Lin Xinghe was prepping and said, ¡°With Principal Wang¡¯s mentality, the next examination room will only be more difficult. Skills and props may be banned, so we have to prepare with both hands¡­¡±


    Thinking of something, she continued, ¡°If you lack materials, you can go to the plane mall to buy some first, so you have materials for the next exam room.¡±


    After the three competitive examination rooms, especially Bastet, they used up a lot of resources.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I suggest buying more stamina potions.¡±


    In this exam room, Jiuge basically was benched. He rested and took care of his hair the whole time, and he also practiced his new fire-type ability a little.


    He also knew that the next exam room was not easy, so he planned to replenish his stock of haircare potions.


    Unexpectedly, when he tried to access the interplane mall, he found that it could not be used.


    Someone else also soon asked, ¡°Can you access the shop?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t buy anything.¡±


    ¡°Me too¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe opened the bracelet and glanced at it, and found that it really couldn¡¯t be used.


    At this time, she heard Xie Wu¡¯an¡¯s voice¡ª¡ª


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid something happened outside¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was startled for a moment, and then she smiled again.


    ¡­ Something must have happened outside the examination room that caused the plane mall to be inaccessible. The fact that the plane mall was down indicated that there is a problem with the foundation of the villain school. It was most likely caused by the awakening of a group of candidates and a group of NPCs. The more people who awakened, the easier it is for the villain school to collapse.


    Not being able to control the freshmen was a good thing.


    Then let her create more chaos!


    Lin Xinghe said to Xie Wu¡¯an, ¡°Brother Xie, let Rick come out.¡±


    Xie Wu¡¯an released Rick from the portable space.


    As soon as Rick came out, he saw dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him.


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile: ¡°Look at the plane store, can you use it? If it works, I¡¯ll let you out of the exam room.¡±


    Rick opened the bracelet and found that it couldn¡¯t be used, and his expression changed slightly.


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°I can¡¯t use it either, let me tell you, the bracelet is completely useless, and your big backer Principal Wang is about to fall. When Principal Wang is here, your life is convenient, but allying with him makes you our enemy. You begged for benefits, now Principal Wang is too busy to take care of himself, let alone take care of you¡­¡±


    As soon as Lin Xinghe finished speaking, Rick was shocked, and so were the other students.


    The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned.


    [¡­What is Lin Xinghe talking about? Principal Wang is about to fall? ¡¿


    ¡¾What does big backer mean? ¡¿


    [Although the bracelets are broken, the school said that the system has malfunctioned in the past few days, and it is undergoing maintenance. ¡¿


    What made the audience in the live broadcast room even more astonished was that Rick took a few steps back and said in disbelief, ¡°Impossible, how could Principal Wang fall? He is a god, your god¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Gods can also be fired¡­¡±


    She glanced at the time, five minutes were almost up, her originally sweet smile shifted instantly, and she said, ¡°I¡¯m too lazy to explain to you, Principal Wang has fallen, and his people are useless, just kill them¡­ ¡­¡±


    She said to Xie Wuan, ¡°Brother Xie, you¡¯re right. It¡¯s a waste of time for such a useless person to spend too much time. Get rid of him¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s sword pointed straight at Rick.


    As Xie Wuan had already immobilized him with a spell, Rick remained still.


    His eyes widened.


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°Are you communicating with the exam room monitor? Principal Wang is about to fall. Do you think the monitor is still there?¡±


    As soon as Lin Xinghe said these words, Rick turned pale.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to hit it on the nail, Brother Xie, do it¡­¡±


    Rick said quickly: ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Please don¡¯t kill me! I¡­ I¡¯m useful! I can tell you about the villain¡¯s school! I¡¯m a relative of Principal Wang! I¡¯m his nephew! I¡¯m not from the villain school! I came here specifically to kill you!¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the time, five minutes had passed, but the crack in time and space had not yet appeared, and there was no measure to prevent Rick from continuing to speak, and he was relieved.


    In the first competitive examination room, she judged from Lu Lan¡¯s behavior that the exam monitors could privately communicate with the students in the examination room. She just took a gamble at why the Plane Mall was broken. Something must have gone wrong in the school. It was likely that the monitors could not moderate the exam room at the moment.


    Judging from Rick¡¯s performance, her gamble succeeded.


    She opened her eyes and spewed nonsense without changing her face: ¡°I already knew that you are Principal Wang¡¯s nephew. That¡¯s of no use to us, get rid of him¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan approached, and Leke said loudly: ¡°It is impossible for the students of the villain school to graduate, all the students who graduate are relatives of my uncle! Before we enter the school, we will be sent to different novel worlds, and my uncle will give us the most powerful settings, let us learn powerful skills, arrange for us the most suitable identities, and then send us to the school to kill students who are disobedient like you! Or students who may graduate. I¡­we killed Celine!You know, Xilin! That¡¯s how she died.¡±


    The classmates on the side said in shock: ¡°But you guys don¡¯t look the same as the big guy who killed Celine¡­¡±


    Lake said: ¡°Uncle will arrange different characters for us, and the appearance can also be different. Do you think your villain life before entering the school is real? No, it¡¯s all fake, it¡¯s all set up by my uncle for you. Yes¡­ you are all just tools for making money for my uncle. The villain school is just a world of virtual games, do you really think the plane mall exists? The plane mall is all a program written by my uncle! You are just another NPC in this game world! I¡¯m not like you!¡±


    Lin Xinghe still didn¡¯t change his face and said: ¡°I know this, and I also know things you don¡¯t know. For example, if we kill you, you won¡¯t survive in the real world.¡±


    She asked with a smile, ¡°Yes?¡±


    What Rick wanted to say, Lin Xinghe said again: ¡°If you dare to say a word, I will dare to kill you.¡±


    Rick stopped immediately.


    This remark caused an uproar among all the students.


    Most of the candidates in the examination room were blinded.


    Brother Jiu was very calm, and said: ¡°Oh, I just don¡¯t feel strong, and I don¡¯t seem like a person who would lose hair. It turned out to be a setting.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°Then what is my Leiting? Is it also an NPC?¡±


    Leiting¡¯s snake head was full of confusion.


    Leiting looked at Xiao Xue Ji with teary eyes.


    ¡­Do NPCs dream of love?


    Qi Qing was also very calm, and despite his antisocial nature, he said: ¡°Even if I am an NPC, I am an NPC who only has a big sword in my heart.¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at Xie Wuan.


    She asked, ¡°Did you already know?¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded slightly.


    After the audience in the live broadcast room knew that they were living in a scam, they felt panicked and at a loss, but now they were very calm when they saw Lin Xinghe in the live broadcast, and miraculously their hearts also calmed down.


    Lin Xinghe asked Xie Wu¡¯an, ¡°I never had a chance to ask you, what are your plans?¡±


    Xie Wu¡¯an asked, ¡°How about you?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Overthrow Principal Wang?¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked the other candidates, ¡°Teammates! What are you doing!¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°We¡¯ve all come here, let¡¯s do it!¡±


    Leiting straightened his snake body!


    Fuck! Follow your mother-in-law¡¯s command!


    The others were instantly provoked: ¡°Fuck! Fuck!¡±


    The audience in the live broadcast room also instantly felt that this scam was nothing to be afraid of!


    Just do it!


    [Overthrow Principal Wang! ¡¿


    ¡¾Down with Principal Wang! ¡¿


    ¡¾Return us to freedom! ¡¿


    ¡¾Dry! ¡¿

 CH 155

    Principal Wang didn¡¯t have time to inspect the situation of the Bastet exam room. He had been filling in all the loopholes and dealing with the employees of the Dark Star Region. After all, some exam rooms were closed, and new exam rooms were temporarily stopped. The head of the Dark Star Region pointed out that a reasonable explanation was needed.


    Principal Wang explained up, down, and sideways and promised to resume all exam room live broadcasts within three days before sending the person in charge of the Dark Star Region away.


    He wiped his sweat, then contacted the teacher who was following Lin Xinghe in the exam room and asked for a status update.


    Unexpectedly, the teacher did not reply.


    As soon as he entered the school, he learned that the teachers were on strike collectively.


    And the system did not inform him of it.


    Principal Wang questioned the system, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you warn me when the teachers went on strike?¡±


    The system spoke at the refresh rate of an old powerpoint presentation.


    ¡°Awakening ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­ people ¡­¡­ number ¡­¡­ of ¡­¡­ increased ¡­¡­ more, this ¡­¡­ system ¡­¡­ system¡­ ¡­negative ¡­¡­ load ¡­¡­ over ¡­¡­ heavy, no ¡­¡­ method ¡­¡­ and ¡­¡­ when ¡­¡­¡±


    The system took a whole minute to say some fragmented phrases.


    Principal Wang listened impatiently, interrupted the system, thinking that he had already closed some of the examination rooms, and shutting more down wouldn¡¯t affect him too much. He then sent out a very official system maintenance notice.


    The system sped up.


    Principal Wang said, ¡°Pull out the files of all teachers.¡±


    The system immediately pulled out a dozen files categorized as ¡°villain school teachers¡± and said, ¡°All teachers have awakened to varying degrees.¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s headache increased.


    The villain school needed teachers to operate, and it was impossible for him to let outsiders from the Dark Star region know what he was doing. To be on the safe side, he chose a dozen excellent individuals, gave them these teacher backgrounds, and opened up a separate world for them.


    Over the years, there was never a problem.


    Now, there were problems with the students, problems with the NPCs, and even problems with the teachers.


    The system prompted, ¡°The host should execute the restoration procedure.¡±


    Principal Wang was so upset that he was about to explode.


    The school already did not have enough teachers. If he restored them, who would manage the school full of awakened students?


    However, the teachers were also a part of the awakening movement. If they were not erased in a timely manner, they would follow the students into rebellion in a heartbeat.


    Principal Wang immediately regretted that he had underestimated Lin Xinghe. Who would have thought that she would be able to bring about the awakening of not only NPCs and students, but now even teachers!


    Xilin at most bit off a piece of his flesh, but now Lin Xinghe was going to drain his blood dry!


    Principal Wang felt cold sweat drip down his spine.


    At this time, the system said, ¡°Due to the number of awakening too many people, the interplane mall is no longer available.¡±


    Principal Wang said, ¡°Didn¡¯t we just shut down part of the examination room? Why is it unavailable again?¡±


    The system showed Principal Wang the time to awakened individuals graph, whose trendline was rising at an alarming rate with ever tick of the clock.


    Principal Wang stuttered incredulously, ¡°How ¡­¡­ how could ¡­¡­¡±


    He seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked the system to call up the live examination room, but unexpectedly, once he did, Principal Wang¡¯s heart almost stopped beating. The Bastet examination room, his pride and joy, had actually been completed by Lin Xinghe and the others.


    He never expected this.


    He had thrown them into the pet store at the beginning, and the normal course would have been for all the candidates to be picked off like pets by the cats. According to the setting of that novel, even if they were overpowered, they would not be able to beat the Bastet cats unless they could join forces with the alien cats. But the alien cats were blocked from the continent.


    That novel had a tragic ending.


    Liu Anna had been ill for a long time. In order to save her, a doctor invited two psychics¡ªthat is, the male lead and female lead¡ªto enter the dream. Their experience in the dream ended with tragically¡ªthey were about to save Princess Elizabeth, but Princess Yuanbao swiped at them with one paw and killed them. The world collapsed, the hero and heroine¡¯s consciousness were buried together, and they were promised a tragic afterlife.


    Principal Wang watched the recording of Lin Xinghe¡¯s exam, sped up 10x.


    A few minutes later ¨C


    Principal Wang¡¯s eyes were wide open.


    What a bunch of rulebreakers!


    The hero and heroine had no chance to appear¡ªthey had drowned in a man-made tsunami before they even began to know each other! This group of rulebreakers had rewritten this tragedy!


    At this very moment, Principal Wang saw a scene that caused his heart to stop.


    His good nephew was sitting in the middle of the crowd in great distress. Xie Wuan¡¯s sword was across his neck, and that kid betrayed him without hesitation!


    At the same time, the system interjected, ¡°Host, the reason for the large number of awakenings has been detected!¡±


    All of them were useless!


    The teachers were useless! His nephew was useless! Even the system was useless!


    Principal Wang was so angry at this moment that his hands were shaking, ¡°You still need to say it? I know it myself!¡±


    The system said, ¡°Warning! Warning! Warning! It is suggested that the host immediately suspend all livestreams. The number of awakenings suddenly increased, and this system can not withstand this¡ªit is on the brink of collapse¡­¡±


    The suspension of all livestreams was tantamount to ignoring the treaty of the Dark Star Region, selling all his family¡¯s assets in ZH18, and losing all the money he has earned over the years, and it still might not be enough to repay his debts.


    The company¡¯s ¡°good nephew¡± turned against him in public, exposing his backroom operations to the public. Losing all his money and property was the best possible outcome. In the face of the residents of the bloodthirsty Dark Star Region, a hundred lives were not enough. If he sold the company on ZH18, the Interstellar Federation Bureau would of course be suspicious and track him on the over-the-surface business. He wouldn¡¯t have any escape route left.


    That Lin Xinghe!


    She was not gnawing at his flesh and blood, she was also sucking eighteen generations of his ancestors  dry!


    At this time, the system that he had randomly found kept alerting, ¡°about to collapse, about to collapse, about to collapse¡­¡­¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s whole person had collapsed.


    What to do¡­¡­?


    ¡­¡­ What could he do?!


    Compared to the destitute Principal Wang, the crowd in the examination room was extremely hyped.


    Lin Xinghe did not know the situation outside, but judging from the silence of the proctor, big things were probably going on. In this case, the more chaotic it was outside, the better. The internal workings of their exam had to be stable to take the role of the lighthouse.


    At this time, a familiar voice rang out in Lin Xinghe¡¯s head.


    ¡°The teachers are all at various degrees of awakening and are boycotting en masse.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned. It was the strange voice that had reminded her to rush to enter the competitive examination hall earlier.


    She looked around.


    The others didn¡¯t seem to have heard this voice.


    She tried to communicate with the voice, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    The voice replied, ¡°The power of the masses is great, and the ability of an individual is limited. Unite the masses and dismantle the forces of evil. I am on the same front as you. We are both undercover agents. Wake up.¡±

 CH 156/1

    ¡­¡­ Undercover agent?


    ¡­¡­ What undercover agent?


    She asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    The voice said, ¡°You ¡­¡­¡±


    However, the voice cut off abruptly.


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe found that the examination room had also changed.


    The people and objects around her had suddenly disappeared, and the hospital building vanished into thin air, replaced by a cramped, yet empty blank space. Xiao Xue Ji, who had just been by her side, was also gone.


    She tried to use her consciousness to explore her own space but found that she could not enter.


    She touched the storage ring around her neck, but it was gone too.


    She looked down at her wrist, and her interplanar mall bracelet had disappeared. Even her backpack was gone.


    At this moment, she had nothing on her. Only her privates were covered by white fabric.


    She subconsciously shouted, ¡°Brother Xie?¡±


    Xie Wuan did not respond.


    ¡°Xiao Xue Ji?¡±


    ¡°Jiuge?¡±


    ¡°Fu Zhou?¡±


    ¡°Qi Qing?¡±


    No one replied.


    Lin Xinghe pursed the corners of her lips. After a few moments, her taut lips relaxed slightly as she calmly explored the cramped space. She stretched out her hand and knocked on the wall, but there was no sound.


    Her mind raced.


    ¡­¡­ Her portable space and the rest of her belongings were gone. Her clothes were even changed in an instant. This was most likely the birthplace of the cannon fodder characters. Principal Wang probably aborted the examination room, forcing them to return to their metaphorical cannon fodder birthplaces. The situation was likely beyond his control.


    Principal Wang was likely unable to kill cannon fodder characters directly, so he used the exam rooms to do so. Otherwise, if he could, Principal Wang would just have directly offed her.


    So now, she was in a safe position.


    The voice that just called itself an undercover agent said, ¡°The power of the masses is great, and the ability of individuals is limited. Unite the masses and dismantle the forces of evil.¡±


    This phrase was familiar.


    Where exactly had she heard it before?


    After her awakening, her brain received too many memories. After all, she had experienced too many fictional worlds. Her brain turned on its self-protection mechanism, filtering most of the memories she considered unimportant. Unless the scenario was recreated for her to see, she could not remember it¡ªafter all, she was not one with a particularly good memory.


    Lin Xinghe racked her brain for a long time¡ªshe had been undercover in several worlds while playing some insignificant roles.


    But she also vaguely remembered that the words were quite important, otherwise they would not be repeated over and over again.


    Lin Xinghe felt that it was a pity she hadn¡¯t gotten a moment to speak with Xie Wuan before.


    Xie Wuan seemed to know how to avoid those live cameras ¡­¡­


    But the matter had come to this, so she could only think of other ways.


    After a long time, Lin Xinghe found a very interesting phenomenon.


    In this cramped space, she tried to document the passing of time. A day and a night passed during which she did not feel hungry, thirsty, or tired, and she didn¡¯t experience any physical needs.


    This triggered other thoughts in Lin Xinghe ¨C


    What exactly were the cannon fodder characters?


    Where did they come from?


    What was their relationship with Principal Wang? What kind of rules are they bound by? Why were they bound by such rules?


    Lin Xinghe had these doubts, which she still could not answer at this moment, but she knew that she was creeping closer and closer to the truth. Trapped in such a place, she did not have the slightest fear, but on the contrary, she grew more and more excited. Unbound by physical needs, she had more time to think.


    Just as Lin Xinghe¡¯s spirits were raised, the white space abruptly burst with an incomparably blinding bright light.


    At the same time, a mechanical voice echoed, ¡°Welcome to the final examination room. There are no prompts in this examination room, so candidates should feel their way around.¡±


    The familiar space-time rift appeared in front of Lin Xinghe.


    Without any hesitation, Lin Xinghe entered the space-time rift.


    Just like the previous examination rooms, only after she adjusted to the blinding light did she see her surroundings clearly. Compared to the thrilling starts of the previous examinations, this time, the landing place seemed much milder.


    It was a modern cemetery.


    It seemed to have just showered, and the air was laced with the freshness of earth after rain.


    Having learned from her previous experiences, Lin Xinghe cautiously observed her surroundings.


    Such an opening was too bland and unlike Principal Wang¡¯s signature style. According to historical evidence, the cemetery here should become a battlefield, with a battle of evil spirits against the living.


    But she watched carefully for a long time, and nothing moved.


    When the breeze came, it was gentle.


    Lin Xinghe looked down to check her condition. After leaving that white space, all her clothes came back as well as her bracelet, storage ring, and her portable space.


    None of the items in her portable space were missing except for Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji was gone.


    She was not in her portable space.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s breathing was instantly a little disturbed, but she quickly adjusted and calmly opened her bracelet.


    The Interplanar Mall was still malfunctioning.

 CH 156.2

    She took out her phone and tried to contact the others.


    She first contacted Xie Wuan, and since she wasn¡¯t sure about the other party¡¯s current situation, she sent a message first. After a long time with no reply, she chose to send a voice recording over. However, no one answered.


    She secondly chose Jiuge, and in the same vein as Xie Wuan, there was no response.


    Since there was no reply, Lin Xinghe pocketed her phone.


    She went around the cemetery and looked at every tombstone carefully, only to find no clues or things out of the ordinary.


    This was just a very unusual modern cemetery.


    Lin Xinghe intended to leave the cemetery and see if there were any NPCs she could ask what was going on.


    This exam had no prompts, unlike the previous ones, and could only be slowly explored.


    The location of the cemetery was in the suburbs.


    But Lin Xinghe was not at all worried about traffic, not to mention that she had a magic broom in her portable space. The most important thing was that she had the amount of hard currency that most modern people could not earn in a lifetime. In a modern society where money can make the devil go around, money could be spent like water.


    When she walked out of the cemetery, it was already dark.


    The security guard at the entrance of the cemetery was having his dinner.


    Lin Xinghe knocked on the window of the security booth.


    The guard pulled open the window.


    Lin Xinghe smiled and was about to speak, only to see that the security guard¡¯s expression changed. He abruptly stood up and smashed at Lin Xinghe with an electric baton.


    Lin Xinghe dodged at once.


    The security guard picked up the intercom and immediately said, ¡°Lin Xinghe has appeared. I urgently need manpower here, please bring back-up immediately and call the police. I will try to detain her first.¡±


    He said as he went to grab Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s experience in multiple novel worlds allowed her to develop amazing reflexes as well as physical skills. Although she still had leaps and bounds to reach Qi Qing¡¯s level, as he had strengthened himself with ancient martial arts skills, it was still more than enough to deal with ordinary people.


    She subdued the security guard in three seconds and asked, ¡°What did Lin Xinghe do?¡±


    In the process of struggling, the guard lost his security cap, revealing his bare head.


    Lin Xinghe hummed and said, ¡°How can you be bald at such a young age? Tell me what happened to Lin Xinghe? Why did you call me Lin Xinghe when you saw me? I am not Lin Xinghe. If you tell me, I can recommend a hair growth shampoo for you. Why do you have a bald head when you¡¯re still young?¡±


    Unexpectedly, the guard showed a stubborn look and stared at her viciously, ¡°Go to hell!¡±


    As soon as the words left his mouth, he slammed his head into the ground a few times, spitting out blood. His eyes rolled back in their sockets, and he was dead.


    Lin Xinghe was really astounded.


    Before she even reacted to what happened, the security guard actually committed suicide.


    And at that moment, a group of security guards rushed in not far away.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe immediately left the cemetery.


    But just as she left the cemetery, she saw several roadside cars suddenly pressing their windows, and the people inside were shouting, ¡°Lin Xinghe appeared! Kill her! Kill her!¡±


    With that, the car owners started their vehicles and stepped on the gas to rush towards her.


    Lin Xinghe had no other choice but to quickly pull out the magic broom from her portable space and fly into the sky.


    She had no intention of using magic props in modern society until she knew what was going on, but the situation was so bad that the people she met so far didn¡¯t even say hello¡ªthey just rushed up and shouted that they were going to kill her.


    But even so, Lin Xinghe¡¯s tense nerves were slightly relieved.


    When she had just landed in the cemetery, it was too calm and quiet. Now, the first signs were appearing, which coincided  with her sense of unease.


    She was not afraid that Principal Wang would be the dictator in this exam room; rather, she was afraid that he wasn¡¯t.


    If he were not in charge, he may have hired a smarter person to come up with the prompts, which would make it harder to deal with compared to the prompts given by the emotional Principal Wang.


    Lin Xinghe rode her magic broom and flew along the signs on the roadtowards the nearest town.


    Now knowing that whenever a person saw her, they rushed up like crazy and tried to kill her, Lin Xinghe changed her clothes slightly and disguised herself a little. She put her hair up and wore a cap for a more unisex look.


    Looking like this, she got off the magic broom and walked out of a dark alley.


    When she left the alley, she was stunned.


    It was just after nine o¡¯clock at night, and the streets were full of traffic and pedestrians coming and going.


    And what surprised Lin Xinghe the most was not that the streets and alleys were plastered with her own wanted poster, but that every single pedestrian on the street was bald.

 CH 157.1

    The students of the villain school were panicking.


    Just a day ago, everyone was still enthusiastically trying to overthrow Principal Wang, but then livestreams were abruptly suspended. The candidates who were in the Bastet exam room, with the notable exceptions of Lin Xinghe, Xie Wuan, Jiuge, Qi Qing, Fu Zhou, and their group, returned to the villain school.


    They looked to each other for answers, but no one knew what had happened.


    All the teachers in the school also disappeared.


    Everyone rushed aggressively to the principal¡¯s office, breaking down the door only to find that there was no one inside.


    The bracelets were not working.


    The interplanar mall was also down.


    One third of the students in the school disappeared.


    With the boundary outside the school gate still in place, it was as though they were trapped in a giant dome, screaming to the heavens and questioning the existing world. In just one day and one night, an unspeakable panic spread through the school.


    Who were they, where did they come from, and where were they going?


    Under the influence of Lin Xinghe¡¯s previous instruction, a third of the school¡¯s population had awakened, but Principal Wang temporarily confined these irreversibly awakened students to the white space.


    In order not to affect the operation of the system, Principal Wang could not try to reboot that many of the students, and could only confine the non-awakened and lightly awakened ones in the villain school temporarily.


    The remaining two-thirds of the school¡¯s students was this exact group of people.


    At the time when they needed hope the most, the long-lost livestreams suddenly came on again, unknowingly attracting everyone¡¯s attention and tamping down their pervasive fears.


    ¡¾Ah! What¡¯s going on?¡¿


    ¡¾Why is Lin Xinghe in a cemetery?¡¿


    ¡¾Where are the others? Did anyone go to the other students¡¯ streams?¡¿


    ¡¾I checked it out! The stream of Big Brother Xie is black.¡¿


    ¡¾Fu Zhou, Qi Qing, and Jiuge are also all black.¡¿


    ¡¾No, what do you mean black? Closed?¡¿


    ¡¾Not closed like post-death, the screen is just black¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Why is only Lin Xinghe¡¯s stream open?¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck! What the hell is this place? Everyone¡¯s bald? It¡¯s too scary!


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe entered a noodle shop and said to the bald owner, ¡°Boss, fried noodles.¡±


    Her disguise was apparently successful.


    The owner didn¡¯t recognize her.


    Considering that this was a modern society with ubiquitous surveillance, Lin Xinghe used the invisibility cloak left over from her last exam and came out of the cemetery in an open manner after disguising herself.


    The noodle shop was not big. Inside, there were only six or seven tables that could seat four, and glass, with a miniature window cut in it, separated the dining area from the small kitchen. The bald chef made noodles and handed them out from the small window, which the bald owner then brought to the customer¡¯s table.


    Although the noodle shop was small, business was good. Lin Xinghe sat at the table area with a few others.


    A wanted poster for Lin Xinghe stared from the wall beside the menu.


    Across from Lin Xinghe sat a girl, also bald, donning a pink fisherman¡¯s hat.


    Only now did Lin Xinghe have time to process the contents of the wanted notice.


    It was a pity it didn¡¯t have much information on itt, only that Lin Xinghe was a serial killer.


    The girl across the table was watching Douyin.


    *TL Note: Douyin is Chinese Tiktok


    Lin Xinghe showed a friendly smile and asked, ¡°Hey, I don¡¯t have my phone, can I borrow your phone for a while? I just want to check something really fast, and I¡¯ll give it back after. If you¡¯re not sure, I can give this as collateral.¡±


    She took out a gold bracelet from her pocket and put it on the table.


    That girl looked up wide-eyed, her face fatigued. She sniffed, and without saying anything more, handed her phone to Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe quickly browsed. This world was indeed exactly the same as the modern society she was familiar with.


    She opened her browser and searched for Lin Xinghe¡¯s name.


    A search revealed that this world¡¯s Lin Xinghe had murdered nine people in two years, each time in a different way¡ªpushing people off tall buildings, pushing people off highway bridges, forcing people to swallow sleeping pills, forcing people to hang themselves, hitting people with cars, taking knives to slit their wrists, poisoning, arson, pulling people¡¯s oxygen tanks ¡­¡­


    All victims were also bald.


    In this fictional world, only tombstones depicted people with hair.


    Lin Xinghe entered two more keywords: bald, hair.


    Unexpectedly, the browser showed¡ªaccording to the relevant laws, search content is not displayed.


    Lin Xinghe quit the browser, gave the phone back to the girl across the table, and said, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The girl took back her phone. Her expression was flat, and she seemed to want to stay in silence. She put on her headphones and expressionlessly scrolled through Douyin, slurping up a few mouthfuls of noodles every now and then.

 CH 157.2

    At this moment, Lin Xinghe¡¯s fried noodles also came.


    However, at this time, the expression of the girl across from Lin Xinghe suddenly changed. She took off her headphones, stood up violently, pointed to the browsing records and questioned Lin Xinghe: ¡°Why are you searching these horrible things on my phone? Are you and Lin Xinghe in cahoots?¡±


    As soon as the words fell, the guests at the other tables cast wary glances, and even the cooks in the kitchen raised their sharp kitchen knives, their eyes coldly boring at Lin Xinghe.


    And the owner¡¯s hand was already touching his cell phone, as if he would immediately call the police if she moved.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Of course I¡¯m not with Lin Xinghe, I¡¯m just curious. You guys don¡¯t be so nervous, calm down.¡±


    The girl¡¯s eyes became bloodshot. ¡°You have no idea how scary, those are things that can not be touched are. Lin Xinghe is the devil! The devil! The devil!¡±


    The pink hat girl¡¯s voice became more and more shrill.


    The girl¡¯s emotions spoiling the restaurant mood, the guests at other tables also said, ¡°Yes, Lin Xinghe is the devil. Only the devil has hair. Those with hair will be devoured by the devil!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Lin Xinghe also has hair, will she be devoured by the devil?¡±


    The pink hat girl actually screamed, ¡°Why do you keep mentioning her! Am I not tired enough after a full day of work! I¡¯m twenty-eight years old! I work hard every day, pay expensive rent, try to scrape by, and eat a twelve dollar dinner alone in a small noodle shop. Is it so wrong for me to relax? Why do you have to bring up these topics in front of me that scare me?¡±


    The people around sighed and looked at Lin Xinghe with a few more condemnations.


    The owner of the noodle shop kicked Lin Xinghe out.


    Lin Xinghe left thoughtfully.


    She did not have to eat noodles at the noodle shop. She had hoarded a lot of food in her portable space, and after a day and night of freedom in the white space, she was more and more sure that her physical needs were also a setting.


    If she didn¡¯t eat, her stamina was bound to drop.


    Lin Xinghe casually solved the need to eat and carefully observed every place on the street.


    Right now she had a question: why was everyone bald? Were the people bald from birth, or were they bald by choice? Lin Xinghe thought it was likely the latter because the black and white photos on the tombstones all depicted individuals with hair.


    Lin Xinghe went to the mall and looked around.


    Malls usually had barber shops.


    However, Lin Xinghe went around several malls and could not find a single barber shop.


    Lin Xinghe searched with a public computer and found that barber shops didn¡¯t exist in this world.


    Also at this time, Lin Xinghe found something even more interesting.


    According to the setting of the exam world, this place was like a metropolis. At nine o¡¯clock it was a city that never sleeps, but once the clock struck ten, Lin Xinghesnapped to attention and found that there was not a single car on the street, nor a single person on the sidewalks. All stores were closed, and the doors of every house were tightly shut. If not for the lights on in them, she would think that this was a deserted city.


    The night sky was blanketed with dark clouds, there being no moonlight in sight.


    Street lamps cast the streets in a harsh glow, and the traffic lights at the intersections stopped working, slowly flashing yellow lights. The whole city was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, the atmosphere reeking of fear.


    Some time later, something rustled in the silent city.


    Lin Xinghe donned her invisibility cloak.


    At that moment, a green light emerged midair. It was like a huge green ball, spinning out from nothing and rolling around in the empty streets.


    This instantly halted the livestream audience¡¯s solemnity.


    Lin Xinghe cocked her head.


    She unhurriedly rode her magic broom, got closer to poke around, and took out her phone to quickly record videos and take pictures before slowly trailing the green ball on her magic broom.


    Soon, everyone discovered that the green ball had a thick head of hair.


    Some of the audience was still panicking before, but now, even they had calmed down after seeing Lin Xinghe¡¯s performance, even finding it quite amusing.


    ¡¾Does anyone else feel like Lin Xinghe is walking her dog hahahahahahaha.¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m sorry, this place felt like a horror story, I thought something scary would appear. The result is this?¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahahaha does anyone think this green head is a bit funny?¡¿


    ¡¾Principal Wang is humorous? Hahahahahahaha.¡¿


    ¡¾It didn¡¯t even notice the invisible SL!¡¿

 CH 158.1

    Lin Xinghe did not know where this huge green head came from. It did not roll fast, but when it hit the ground, the impact was silent.


    It rolled around blindly in the huge city for an hour, stopping every so often as if it were searching for something.


    Lin Xinghe hypothesized why this metropolis was like an empty city after 10 pm¡ªthe inhabitants seemed to be hiding from this green head.


    Lin Xinghe flew to a high altitude and did not bother to follow the green head.


    She took out her phone and checked out the photos and videos she had just taken.


    When playing the video, she accidentally made a little noise. The green head instantly detected it, and, flying much faster it rolled, approached  her in the blink of an eye.


    But she was wearing an invisibility cloak and held her breath, and the green head remained stationary in the air for a few seconds before rolling down again and continuing to wander the city streets.


    Lin Xinghe enlarged a photo, and the previously jocose audience also could not help but sharply draw in their breath.


    Beneath the green light on the screen, there was an ocean of ghostly faces.


    Lin Xinghe calmly zoomed in and out, adopting a thoughtful look.


    The audience began to discuss.


    ¡¾Ah, what is this thing?¡¿


    ¡¾After experiencing the previous exam, I think this is nothing for Lin Xinghe. It¡¯s not as scary as the five-mouthed Xiao Xue Ji at the beginning!¡¿


    ¡¾This exam feels pretty easy.¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, the green head looks quite weak and can¡¯t even detect SL. It just rolls around the city quietly without destroying anything ¡­¡¿


    Lin Xinghe stashed her phone, picked up a rock, calculated the distance, and stoned the green head.


    The stone flew close to the head, but thick black hair abruptly sprouted from the head and wrapped itself around the whole head until the eerie green light no longer shone through. The stone smashed against the hair-wall, the crisp impact ringing through the air.


    Once the stone fell to the ground, the tightly wrapped hair slowly revealed a slit. In the dark night, the slit, leaking green light, was eye-catching. The whole green head slowly rotated until that slit faced the stone on the ground.


    Also at this time, the slit issued a shocking hissing sound.


    A black lock of hair shot up, curling around the stone and raising it into the air.


    A thin lock, set in the middle of the stone like a snake, slowly, layer by layer, rolled across the whole stone. A blast sounded, the hair loosened, and rock dust drifted like snowflakes.


    Also at this time, not far down the alley came a song.


    The green head instantly turned, and it flew towards the alley.


    Lin Xinghe was about to follow, and found that from the other side of the alley also came a song, and in just a minute, different songs sounded in all directions.


    The green head flew from the east to the west and then to the south like a brainless fly.


    At the same time, a bald head suddenly emerged from the nearest tall building, its owner waving a cell phone with the flashlight on, as if gesturing to her.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned. She donned the invisibility cloak, so  no one should be able to see her.


    The bald head suddenly raised a tablet.


    Words flashed across the tablet screen in large font, forming several sentences:


    Come in while the devil is attracted by the song! I see you! I know you¡¯re invisible!


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised, and after some contemplation, she flew to the tall building on her magic broom.


    It was an office building.


    Despite the hour, many people worked overtime.


    The bald head was a delicate, gentle girl, smiling with curved brows. She was the only one in the corridor as she held the tablet by the window.


    Lin Xinghe remained invisible, but when she entered, the girl seemed to notice and closed the window.


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised.


    And at this time, the bald girl said, ¡°There are cameras here. Come with me to the bathroom, it¡¯s not monitored.¡±


    After entering the bathroom, the bald girl asked, ¡°Are you here now?¡±


    Lin Xinghe hummed.


    The bald girl immediately locked the door of the bathroom.


    Lin Xinghe took off her cloak now, but she was still in disguise.


    She asked, ¡°How did you know I was invisible?¡±


    The bald girl blinked, seemingly enthusiastic. Her smile was overflowing out of her eyes, and she said, ¡°I just happened to see you fly into the alley and then disappear. I¡¯ve been watching you. After the devil appeared, I guessed that you might want to go and defeat it, and I monitored its whereabouts. I prepared the song in the alley. The devil has no weaknesses, and I was afraid you wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat it.¡±


    Thinking of something, she asked, ¡°You are a witch, right! Everyone who rides  a broom is a witch! I always wanted to be a witch! Can you take me as your apprentice?¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t expect there to be youthful girl NPCs in this world, but without thinking, she said, ¡°Congratulations, young lady! You located me, so you proved your destiny. As long as you pass my test, I will take you as an apprentice. What is your name?¡±


    ¡°Yu Ying.¡±


    ¡°Do you accept the witch¡¯s test?¡±


    Excitement in her shining eyes, Yu Ying said, ¡°I accept!¡±

 CH 158.2

    Lin Xinghe said loftily, ¡°I am a witch from another world. Why are all of you from this world bald? Why do they all chase Lin Xinghe? What is that green light outside?¡±


    Although Yu Ying was also bald, she seemed different from ghd other NPCs. She didn¡¯t pale when she heard ¡°Lin Xinghe¡± or the green head and obediently answered Lin Xinghe¡¯s question.


    The green head outside, or as NPCs called it, the devil, suddenly appeared one night, mauling humans and eating them. The humans it attacked became zombies who attacked other humans, and people later found out that the devil only did not attack the bald. When it heard the words ¡°hair¡± and ¡°bald,¡± it and the people it zombified would go berserk.


    It took a long time for the country to eliminate all the zombified humans and restore its previous prosperity.


    So, over time, the people no longer dared to grow out their hair, staying bald, only after death did they photoshop hair onto their pictures.


    No one dared to wander outside after ten o¡¯clock because that was when the devil appeared.


    The state once sent the army to exterminate the devil, but the devil was immune to physical damage and had no other weaknesses.


    So the devil ruled the streets after ten.


    As for Lin Xinghe ¡­¡­


    Yu Ying continued, ¡°¡­¡­ Even the sovereigns of every country shaved their heads, but only Lin Xinghe refused. No one knows her background, and the state can¡¯t trace her whereabouts, much less force her to shave her head. If she does not follow the order, the devil might find her and start another zombification plague. Plus, she has become very arrogant in the past two years, killing people for no reason, so the whole country is looking for her.¡±


    When Yu Ying said this, she arched her eyebrows and actually said, ¡°Although everyone dislikes her, I think she is pretty powerful. She knows that the devil may go after her because of her hair, but she remains unafraid and even dares to challenge the authority of the state!¡±


    Lin Xinghe was certain that this world really had a person with the exact same name and looks as hers.


    Normal novels would never have such a coincidence.


    For this to be the setting could only mean one thing-


    This was a novel that Principal Wang tailored for her, and everything from her persona to the plot of the novel worked against her. No wonder Principal Wang locked her in the white space for a day and a night¡ªhe had hurriedly written a new novel.


    Yu Ying looked at her with bright eyes again and said, ¡°Although I haven¡¯t passed the witch test, can I call you master first? What kind of test must I pass? Or is there something else you want to know, Master? I can tell you anything! Master, you came from a different world, do you have currency from this world? Do you want money? I can give it to you! I just got paid today! Master, I¡¯ll buy you a new phone tomorrow! Or you can use my phone now. I¡¯ll give you my phone to use, I still have my old one from my company!¡±


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know enough about this world yet, and it would indeed be more convenient to have a cell phone.


    She didn¡¯t refuse Yu Ying¡¯s kindness, but naturally she couldn¡¯t take other people¡¯s things for free, so she picked a few gold bars from her portable space and put them into a big red envelope and gave it to Yu Ying.


    ¡°Since you want to worship me as your master, this is a meeting gift from me to you, take it.¡±


    Once Yu Ying took it, she said, ¡°What is it? It¡¯s so heavy.¡±


    Lin Xinghe, ¡°Gold bars.¡±


    Yu Ying happily said, ¡°Thank you, Master!¡±


    The audience


    ¡¾There¡¯s something about this Yu Ying!¡¿


    ¡¾I think her mind is a bit dangerous! This world apparently has a dangerous individualwith the same name as SL, and people don¡¯t usually worship a murderer, right?¡¿


    ¡¾I feel like a great disciple! She got the gold bar too quickly! Yu Ying didn¡¯t even seem surprised. If a stranger accepted me as a disciple and gave me a gold bar as a gift, I would think there was something wrong with him.¡¿


    ¡¾I guess it¡¯s okay, after all, Yu Ying is a young girl! The setting of there being witches is acceptable, witches giving gold bars as a gift is also very normal, right!¡¿


    ¡¾¡­¡­ Although it has been a long time, the cold master and disciple rarepair I stan isn¡¯t hot, and I¡¯m basically the only one left, but I still want to ask SL! Do you still remember Ling Xiran!¡¿


    ¡¾Oooooh don¡¯t mention the cold ships, I¡¯m still stanning Snow Fire! Fortunately, the cat Xiao Xue Ji can become a human Xiao Xue Ji, so I can still occasionally find some ship material.¡¿


    ¡¾Lin Pu shippers long have sobbed in the bathroom.¡¿


    ¡¾And Lin Zang shippers cry on the rooftop.¡¿


    ¡¾Now it¡¯s the world of Lin Xie¡­¡¿

 CH 159.1

    Yu Ying was very enthusiastic, and after they left the restroom, she showed Lin Xinghe around the office building.


    This office building had thirty-two floors. Yu Ying worked on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth floors. Although it was almost midnight, most of the people in her company still worked overtime.


    When Yu Ying led Lin Xinghe by them, they didn¡¯t even look up.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Your colleagues are quite dedicated.¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°They have no choice. They need to make a living, and the boss is black-hearted. We work five days a week with three days of mandatory overtime, and on those days, we can¡¯t go home because the devil appears at ten o¡¯clock on the dot¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe sympathized, ¡°That sounds difficult¡­¡­¡±


    Yu Ying replied, ¡°Yes, so now young people are very anxious ¡­¡­¡± she lowered her voice to Lin Xinghe¡¯s ear and said, ¡°Fortunately I am bald, otherwise I would lose so much hair ¡­ ¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked down at the NPCs at their workstations.


    They all showed the same expressions¡ªtired, anxious, depressed, irritable, and overall negative.


    Lin Xinghe did not move a muscle and glanced at Yu Ying.


    Compared to these gray NPCs, Yu Ying was a young maiden, vivid and shining, and she had no reaction to the taboos of this world¡ªLin Xinghe, bald head, hair.


    Suddenly, Yu Ying took Lin Xinghe¡¯s arm and said, smiling, ¡°Master, do you want to rest? The devil will not leave until five o¡¯clock in the morning. There are still six hours until then, and I have an inflatable single bed, pillows, and small blankets.¡± Thinking of something, she added, ¡°If I provide a comfortable rest environment, will this help my test score?¡±


    Lin Xinghe gave her a deep look and said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Yu Ying said happily, ¡°Master is the best!¡±


    Lin Xinghe took her phone to search for information about this world while sprawled on Yu Ying¡¯s inflatable bed.


    She searched Lin Xinghe once more.


    After a few moments, she analyzed her findings.


    Although Lin Xinghe was wanted in this world, there was only one picture of Lin Xinghe, the one on the wanted notice. The rest of the information about Lin Xinghe was all text, including the official news about Lin Xinghe. The families of the victims killed by Lin Xinghe accused her of unimaginable cruelty, speaking as though they had borne witness to her deeds, but there were no new photos or videos.


    ¡­¡­ Why was this?


    After dawn, Yu Ying went to her supervisor to ask for leave.


    Meanwhile, Lin Xinghe watched from the sidelines.


    Yu Ying¡¯s boss was a middle-aged man, a little greasy-looking. When Yu Ying requested leave, his eyebrows wrinkled, and he accused Yu Ying of having a bad work attitude and requesting leave often, lacking team spirit, and being unproductive in general.


    Yu Ying did not take it to heart in the slightest, cheerfully responded, took the leave approval, and slipped away.


    Her boss¡¯s son was at a marriageable age. To look out for his son, the boss booked a suite in the city center. The in-laws prepared a generous dowry, so the boss¡¯s family had to come up with the corresponding bride price to give the young couple some start-up capital ¡­ Her boss was also very anxious, working overtime every day and taking on all the projects he could.


    Outside, the sky brightened.


    Once the green head disappeared, the ghost city quickly returned to its former bustle and liveliness.


    Yu Ying took Lin Xinghe to have breakfast.


    The small restaurant¡¯s television played the morning news¡ªjust last night, Lin Xinghe had killed an entire family of five by her evil knife.


    The people in the small restaurant shook their heads as they ate their breakfast, sighing helplessly.


    Lin Xinghe kept an eye on the news, in which a reporter was broadcasting live and interviewing the neighbors of the victim¡¯s family.


    The neighbors had taken a video of the occasion.


    On the screen, the victim¡¯s family¡¯s balcony lights flashed on and off, and occasionally there were screams and shrieks. There was no recording of how Lin Xinghe left after she killed them.


    The camera then panned to the victims¡¯ neighbor.


    ¡°¡­¡­ Simply terrible! I didn¡¯t dare to call the police either because no one would come out at night! The devil outside was still wandering, so I didn¡¯t record much¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked Yu Ying, ¡°Has anyone actually seen Lin Xinghe with their own eyes?¡±


    Yu Ying, slightly stunned, didn¡¯t see the question coming and froze.


    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°Where did the photo of the wanted notice come from?¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°The police department provided it ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°What about her personal file? Where was she born? Where did she go to school and where did she graduate? Do you know?¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°She is a very mysterious person, no one knows any of these. She comes and goes without a trace, but every one of us knows her, is afraid of her, and wants to kill her more for it.¡±

 CH 159.2

    Lin Xinghe suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Here comes your first test mission.¡± Yu Ying¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°To test your ability to collect intelligence, I need all the information about the people Lin Xinghe has killed as well as the crime scenes.¡±


    Yu Ying patted her chest and said, ¡°No problem, when should I deliver it by?¡±


    Lin Xinghe, ¡°The sooner the better.¡±


    After eating breakfast, Yu Ying left to complete her mission. She told Lin Xinghe her home address and password lock and gave a very understanding look that said if Lin Xinghe needed a place to sleep, she could come to her home. When she finished the task, she would contact Lin Xinghe by cell phone.


    After Yu Ying finished speaking, she left.


    Lin Xinghe found a cafe.


    She sat by the window and watched pedestrians for the whole day and didn¡¯t leave until the cafe was closed.


    She did not go to Yu Ying¡¯s house, instead choosing to put on the invisibility cloak while waiting for the green head to come out.


    Once ten o¡¯clock came, the green head appeared punctually.


    Lin Xinghe swooped in to observe it and took a few pictures from different angles. After that, she flew high into the sky and sat there for the whole night, just watching the green head roll around town until morning.


    Only then did Lin Xinghe yawn and go to Yu Ying¡¯s house.


    Yu Ying¡¯s home was a small open apartment. The house was neatly furnished, and the floor was spotlessly polished.


    Yu Ying was not at home.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the time: the clock read six.


    She didn¡¯t ask where Yu Ying had gone. After a long day outside, although she had taken a stamina potion for her physical body, she was still a little fatigued.


    She went back to sleep on the sofa.


    Lin Xinghe slept very lightly, ready to wake up at a pin drop.


    She woke up as soon as the door to the apartment opened, but she didn¡¯t open her eyes, choosing to pretend to sleep instead.


    She heard deliberately light footsteps that stopped only when they reached her side.


    She left Yu Ying crouch down in front of her, breathing slightly sharply, before slowly calming down. The other just squatted beside her for half an hour before getting up and finding a thin quilt and gently covering her with it.


    After another moment, she left gently.


    Lin Xinghe only met with Yu Ying the previous evening.


    Yu Ying returned with a thick pile of folders and said to Lin Xinghe cheerfully, ¡°Master, I¡¯ve finished my task! Please check!¡±


    Lin Xinghe was surprised by Yu Ying¡¯s speed and praised Yu Ying before she opened the folder.


    Yu Ying was efficient. The information she found out was not only very complete; some of the intel had to be from police contacts.


    And ¡­¡­


    The papers in the folder were quite old. Only last night¡¯s victim information paper was newly printed out. The earliest victim¡¯s file was slightly yellowed.


    Lin Xinghe and the audience both noticed this.


    ¡¾Crap! Yu Ying had obviously been prepared for a long time!¡¿


    ¡¾She had already been collecting information about Lin Xinghe in this examination room!¡¿


    ¡¾Did you just see the look in Yu Ying¡¯s eyes! That kind of heat! She¡¯s obviously a pervert! She! She must know that SL in front of her is Lin Xinghe!¡¿


    ¡¾This sweet girl is creepy!¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t panic. SL must have found out too! Let¡¯s see how SL will kill her!¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe drew out the victims¡¯ photos, opened the phone, pulled out the green head¡¯s photos she had taken in the past two nights, zoomed in, and took a look. Yu Ying sucked in a breath of cold air and said, ¡°It¡¯s the victims!¡±


    The faces in the green light exactly matched the faces of these victims.


    Lin Xinghe had hypothesized this because the green head was a little larger than the day before. But the ghost faces inside were not clear, especially under the hazy cloud of green light, but now that there was a photo for comparison, a closer look indeed proved her theory.


    Yu Ying asked, ¡°Why did the people that Lin Xinghe killed become the devil ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was more concerned about something else¡ªwhy did the green head have Jiuge¡¯s skills?


    Thinking of something, she flipped through the folder again.


    All the people Lin Xinghe killed in this examination room had one thing in common. The NPCs here were all anxious, and the people Lin Xinghe killed were extremely stressed. It ranged from anxiety about their careers, anxiety about their lives, anxiety about their families, and others¡ªit was stress about all sorts of things. The strings in their heads were so taut that it would only take another straw to break the camel¡¯s back, and most of the victims had been diagnosed with severe depression.


    The anxious society, the severely anxious people, Lin Xinghe who was like a ghost, Lin Xinghe¡¯s victims being absorbed into the green head, the green head only killing people with hair¡­what was it doing rolling blindly around town in the middle of the night? And why did it have Jiuge¡¯s ability?


    ¡­¡­ What was Principal Wang¡¯s purpose in creating this situation?

 CH 160.1

    Lin Xinghe felt that she had almost all of the clues in hand. They were just a little scattered, since she didn¡¯t have the thread that linked them together yet. As long as she could connect them, she would know the plot of this world.


    So ¡­¡­


    Where could she find the thread?


    Lin Xinghe looked at Yu Ying.


    Yu Ying still pondered the question Lin Xinghe just asked. Seeing Lin Xinghe look over, she very sincerely asked again, ¡°Why would they be absorbed into the green head?¡±


    Lin Xinghe did not answer, instead asking, ¡°You tried to attack the devil, right? And then you formed a truce? Did they not think about a second assault?¡±


    Yu Ying replied, ¡°The battle was costly. Now, we appreciate the peace. Everyone fears the devil and would rather coexist with him than challenge him again.¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly asked her, ¡°Do you have any ideas?¡±


    Slightly stunned, Yu Ying said apprehensively, ¡°Lin Xinghe can gauge everyone¡¯s anxiety, and people who are overly anxious will be killed?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You have a point, you can try.¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°I can pretend to be overly anxious, to attract Lin Xinghe to kill me? Then you can kill Lin Xinghe, Master! This way fewer people will become devils ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled faintly, ¡°Can you?¡±


    Yu Ying patted his chest and said, ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m anxious, I¡¯m scared, I¡¯m panicking at the thought of failing the witch test. I¡¯ll harness these emotions and seduce Lin Xinghe! Master, you can use your invisibility? When the time comes, you¡¯ll catch her!¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Okay!¡±


    Yu Ying was really good at acting¡ªafter she said so, she immediately grew depressed.


    The next night, Lin Xinghe put on her invisible cloak and stood aside.


    The audience held their breath, waiting for the arrival of the escape artist Lin Xinghe.


    ¡¾It¡¯s a little exciting to think of meeting two SLs.¡¿


    ¡¾The duel between SL and Lin Xinghe!¡¿


    ¡¾In fact, I was wondering if it¡¯s possible that Yu Ying is Lin Xinghe in this examination room.¡¿


    ¡¾This is a bit of a mindf*ck!¡¿


    As the viewers in the broadcast room were discussing the possible scenes, Yu Ying, who had been sleeping on the bed, suddenly jerked.


    She opened her eyes, and her eyes were like pools of stagnant water, empty of light.


    She left the bed with her bare feet and walked towards the bathroom step by step without blinking as though she were sleepwalking.


    The bathroom had a fan-shaped mini bathtub.


    She turned on the faucet.


    The hot water flowed down.


    She stood quietly by the tub, her eyes unfocused as if she was being controlled. She left the bathroom and went to the open kitchen when the tub was full.


    She found a fruit knife and turned back to the bathroom.


    As she entered the bathroom and raised her wrist, the sharp tip of the knife slashed at her wrist, and Lin Xinghe stepped in to stop it.


    The fruit knife clattered to the ground.


    And at that moment, Yu Ying¡¯s eyes gradually regained focus.


    She first glanced at Lin Xinghe, then looked down at herself and was startled to find herself in the bathroom, stammering, ¡°I ¡­¡­ Why am I in the bathroom? Master, is Lin Xinghe here?¡±


    The audience in the live broadcast room was silent for a moment.


    ¡¾Crap! So there¡¯s no Lin Xinghe at all?¡¿


    ¡¾The murderer was not Lin Xinghe! Are all victims committing suicide?¡¿


    ¡¾It seems so! You think about the way to say Lin Xinghe¡¯s crimes feel wrong, who would force people to hang themselves or jump from high places ah!¡¿


    And at this time, Yu Ying left the bathroom with a baffled face, looked left and right, and asked: ¡°Master caught Lin Xinghe?¡±


    Lin Xinghe shook his head thoughtfully and said, ¡°No.¡±


    Yu Ying comforted Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°We can try again tomorrow!¡±


    Yu Ying asked again, ¡°Why am I in the bathtub? Did I sleepwalk? No, I never had the habit of sleepwalking before ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No, I know what Lin Xinghe is.¡±


    She said slowly, ¡°There is no such person as Lin Xinghe in your world. All the victims committed suicide, killed by their own anxiety. Lin Xinghe is anxiety incarnate, and all people who commit suicide due to anxiety will be treated as though Lin Xinghe did it.¡±


    Yu Ying: ¡°¡­¡­ anxiety incarnate?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Well then, haven¡¯t you noticed? Everyone in your world is anxious, not individual anxiety, but universal anxiety, with baldness and hair being trigger words. A normal world isn¡¯t like this. Perhaps you are so anxious that everyone¡¯s anxiety has evolved into a concrete symbol ¨C Lin Xinghe. So she comes and goes without a trace, no one has seen her with their own eyes, but everyone knows her, fears her, loathes her, and wants to kill her. And who doesn¡¯t want to kill their anxiety?¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°Then is it true that if anxiety is gone, there will be no Lin Xinghe in this world? Everyone will be able to resume their old lives?¡±

 CH 160.2

    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Those who are killed by anxiety will become the devils you talk about and roam the streets of the town after ten o¡¯clock. Think about it: did the devil first appear after Lin Xinghe killed someone?¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°¡­Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s not a reach to understand why bald and hair loss will become a taboo word in this world. In modern society, young people are generally anxious, which can cause hair loss. Who is not afraid of becoming bald at a young age?¡±


    She suddenly laughed, ¡°Your world reminds me of a friend of mine, he is also afraid of losing his hair ¡­¡­¡±


    ¡¾Please shout out Jiuge¡¯s name!¡¿


    ¡¾Jiu¡­¡­ ge? Wait a minute, his full name is¡­ something something Rudolph?


    ¡¾Alfred Rudolph!¡¿


    ¡¾Crap! You guys go to Jiuge¡¯s livestream! There¡¯s movement! It¡¯s not dark anymore!¡¿


    ¡¾I saw it too! It lit up for a second! Then it went out again!¡¿


    ¡¾A freshman recorded the screen!¡¿


    ¡¾Wait a minute. Don¡¯t freshmen know that recording is not allowed? The moment you record a screen, you¡¯ll be punished!¡¿


    ¡¾¡­¡­ I¡¯m a freshman, I didn¡¯t know you couldn¡¯t record a screen, but it doesn¡¯t seem like there¡¯s a penalty, right? When will the penalties come down?¡¿


    ¡¾They are usually enforced on the spot.¡¿


    ¡¾Freshman, how are you doing?¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m fine, nothing happened.¡¿


    ¡¾¡­¡­ The school¡¯s rules don¡¯t seem to work anymore, and the interplanar mall doesn¡¯t work, is the school going down soon?¡¿


    At this time, as Lin Xinghe did not know if the livestream was still open, much less the condition of other candidates, she said thoughtfully, ¡°Anxiety kills people, people killed by anxiety join the night devil, the devil does not kill the bald, why?¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°The devil consists of people killed by anxiety. Baldness is caused by anxiety, so the devil¡¯s already done its job on the bald.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°So as long as Lin Xinghe and the devil are destroyed, the world will return to its normal order.¡±


    Yu Ying nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, ¡°But to eliminate Lin Xinghe is to eliminate anxiety. Everyone has different anxieties, so how do we eliminate everyone¡¯s anxiety?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Here is your second test.¡±


    Yu Ying asked excitedly, ¡°What is it? Eradicate anxiety?¡±


    Lin Xinghe stretched out her hand to pat Yu Ying¡¯s head and said, ¡°Get a good night¡¯s sleep.¡±


    Yu Ying: ¡°¡­¡­ just this?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said in a warm voice, ¡°Your second test is to sleep well, sleep until you wake up naturally the next day,¡± she took out her phone and looked at the time, ¡°It¡¯s 2:00 am, you should start sleeping, you haven¡¯t gotten much sleep these days, it¡¯s time to rest, go ahead. ¡±


    Yu Ying hugged Lin Xinghe¡¯s arm and said with a dimpled smile, ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll listen to Master!¡±


    After waiting for Yu Ying to sleep, Lin Xinghe put on the invisibility cloak and went out the door.


    She didn¡¯t pay any attention to the green head bouncing around in the streets but rather rode her magic broom around the whole city. It was about dawn when she started following the green head.


    At five o¡¯clock in the morning, when the first rays of daylight broke through the clouds, the green head disappeared where it rolled.


    People also gradually left their homes.


    In the past, they all went to work on time. Once the devil of the night disappeared in the morning, the people could begin their new day.


    Originally everyone was still quite afraid of the devil, but over time, they gradually found that the devil really did not hurt anyone bald and wouldn¡¯t destroy buildings.


    As long as people stayed at home, they would not be harmed in any way, and with the devil on patrol at night, the streets were even safer.


    So, people were afraid of the devil, but they also felt that coexisting with it was possible, so they resumed their normal lives during the day.


    But just today, people found that after the disappearance of the devil in the night, there was a three-meter-tall dog-headed monster in the day! It was somewhat similar to the devil at night. The glowing green devil had a head of black hair, and this huge dog head was also made up of hair!


    But the difference was that the dog-headed monster during the day destroyed things, blowing up all the subways along with building after building. Although there were no casualties, the dog-headed monster kept trashing the city.


    The country sent its army, only to find that the dog-headed monster was indestructible and the bullets couldn¡¯t penetrate the huge dog head at all.


    In comparison, the devil in the night was an angelic being!


    People began to feel a deep fear.


    The fear of not being able to go out at night, and being dominated by the dog head during the day!

 CH 161

    Compared to the panic of the NPCs in the examination room, the livestream¡¯s atmosphere filled with the cheers of an excited audience.


    ¡¾Here it comes! Here it comes! The SL is here with her three-meter-tall dog head! Here comes Jiuge¡¯s absolute masterpiece!¡¿


    ¡¾The King of the Sea!¡¿


    ¡¾This freshman is confused?¡¿


    ¡¾The local boss, Anthony III, was treated as the boss¡¯s little brother!¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m not going to lie, even if I know that Lin Xinghe = Sea King Babaros and it¡¯s been a long time since I left that exam room, I still can¡¯t help but feel weak when I see the dog head. I have PTSD from that. As one of the candidates in the alpine rimerose examination room, I saw the monster standing on top of the clouds, next to the lightning and thunder, and I had nightmares for days. I once thought I was going to die in the hands of the Sea King Barbaros.¡¿


    ¡¾I don¡¯t blame the NPCs for panicking in this exam room, it¡¯s really, really, really scary!¡¿


    ¡¾I just want to LMAO, this three-meter high dog head really looks so funny, just like this message emoji pack I have, it¡¯s only that my emojis will not destroy a city.¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    The NPCs in the exam room thought the same.


    ¡­¡­ How naive and funny the dog head in the emoji pack was! How did it become so big and tall that even bullets couldn¡¯t penetrate it!? And why is it like a monster in the crazy destruction of the city!? The subway! Public transportation! All of them are ruined! The worst part was! Even the devil doesn¡¯t destroy the wifi at night! During the day, the dog-headed monster destroys all the wifi!


    The dog-headed monster also knew to go to work on time, once it was 10 pm, it disappeared, and clocked in promptly at 5 am.


    The night devil roamed from 10 pm to 5 am.


    The two monsters worked seamlessly so that people had no time to breathe!


    In the past, people were afraid of the night, but staying indoors would be fine.


    Not anymore, people were afraid of the day!


    The dog-headed monster was the real devil! It had a very high IQ and played human emotions with impunity. It would pick a famous building every day to destroy. Before the destruction, it would also arrogantly launch a warning.


    Thanks to the forewarning, authorities managed to avoid casualties.


    But everyone was still in a state of panic, and some people even saw the old favorite dog-head emoji with trauma, from which it was given a new meaning!


    A week passed, and the people watched as building after building fell. They lost internet connection and electricity, and the people who had their own anxieties found that when faced with the big question of human survival, the original anxieties and worries of their personal lives were not really such big problems.


    They couldn¡¯t afford to buy a house before, but now no one wanted to buy a house¡ªit might be destroyed anyways.


    The original 996 work hours were gone too¡ªmany of the skills mastered in peace and prosperity were not practical for survival, which was the only thing of importance in their minds at this time.


    Several nights, people who were previously anxious grew nostalgic for their previous anxiety, since it was such a blessing to be able to worry about annoying trivialities in a time of peace and prosperity.


    And within this week, the national government gradually discovered that the dog-headed monster did not mean to harm human life. It was not like the devil in the night that could not communicate¡ªit possessed intelligence.


    The national government held an emergency meeting.


    The result of the meeting was to send a professional negotiation team to communicate with the dog-headed monster.


    So, at six o¡¯clock in the morning of the eighth day, the negotiator took a special loudspeaker and communicated with the dog-headed monster.


    ¡°What do you need that we can do for you!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk!¡±


    The negotiator was afraid that the dog-headed monster wouldn¡¯t understand and brought a simultaneous translator from a different country. Unexpectedly, the dog-headed monster opened its mouth in the language of the country, ¡°I am Sea King Barbaros, and I want to see your ruler.¡±


    Its voice was also very loud, its words echoing.


    At this moment Lin Xinghe was sitting on her magic broom, shouting out with the magic gadget she got in the alpine rimerose examination hall. She missed Xie Wuan, Jiuge, Fu Zhou, and the others at this moment¡ªfighting on the frontlines was really too physically demanding, she was still more suitable to be a warlord.


    Before, the dog head floated in the seawater, but now, she had to knock back several strength potions just to have a sore back at the end of the day.


    The buildings and public transportation were also blasted by her magic props, and just in a week she¡¯d spent props like mad. The various items she obtained from the previous examination rooms were almost all gone.


    But Lin Xinghe felt that it was worth it.


    After her request, less than ten minutes later, the ruler of this world came to her.


    The ruler was a bald male, and before he could speak, he heard the dog-headed monster snicker and say, ¡°Tsk, why is the ruler of every novel set to be male? Boring.¡±


    When the ruler heard this, he was slightly stunned, and heard the dog-headed monster, who called himself Sea King Barbaros, say lazily: ¡°I¡¯m too lazy to play with you guys. Let¡¯s settle this early so I can leave early. The setting of this novel world is too boring, all bald, some people are already ugly, bald is even uglier, wasting this king¡¯s time. What is your name?¡±


    Ruler, ¡°My surname is Hu, my name is ¡­¡­¡±


    The dog-headed monster interrupted him and said arrogantly: ¡°Okay, no need to say it, I can¡¯t remember even if you say it. You are not real people, there is no need to waste this king¡¯s precious time. Surnamed Hu, at twelve o¡¯clock exactly I want to have a press conference in this place, all media sites must be live, got it?¡±


    The dog-headed monster continued, ¡°Oh, almost forgot, repair your internet cables, for every second I¡¯m delayed I¡¯ll kill a person.¡±


    After saying that, she put on the invisibility cloak and then quickly put the dog¡¯s head into the portable space.


    The whole person instantly disappeared in front of the ruler.


    When the ruler faced the devil in the night and the monster in the day, he also only took it as a challenge to the fate of humanity and had been actively trying to find a way to deal with it, but now when he heard a few short words from the dog-headed monster, the ruler, who had always been emotional, was stunned!


    ¡­¡­ The setting of this novel world is too boring?


    ¡­¡­ You are not really people.


    What did that mean?


    The ruler felt that his outlook had been turned upside down!


    ¡­¡­ Wasn¡¯t the world he existed in a real world?


    He was able to grasp more information that ordinary people couldn¡¯t know and had advanced authority. When the devil appeared, he once had doubts. He loathed Lin Xinghe, but upon thinking more, he had never seen her before. She came and went without a trace as though she was an existence that was currently untouchable by technology.


    He wanted Lin Xinghe captured with all his heart, but he never succeeded.


    Later, he learned that Lin Xinghe was the embodiment of pathological social anxiety and that only by solving social problems could he eliminate the impact Lin Xinghe had on the people.


    This made him feel the absurdity of the world and made him question the reality of the world again.


    Now that he heard the dog-headed monster¡¯s mere words, all the previous doubts without evidence became clear in an instant.


    It was as if something began to burn inside.


    He felt like he touched the end of the world.


    And at the same time, the ruler also quickly arranged a press conference for the dog-headed monster, set up one by one according to its requirements.


    At exactly 12 noon, the dog-headed monster¡¯s press conference officially began.

 CH 162.1

    The people all knew that the dog-headed monster asked to talk to the ruler, and all of them anticipated the result of the talk, would they return to living peacefully?


    There were also people who were worried for the ruler¡¯s life.


    The dog-headed monster had such a strong desire for destruction, who knew if it would eat the ruler at the drop of a hat?


    Shortly after the conversation, everyone noticed that the dog-headed monster did not move.


    It lazily stayed where it was as if it was standing still.


    And their ruler issued two emergency measures ¨C to repair the network cables as fast as possible, and to call for volunteers to attend the press conference of Sea King Barbaros at 12 o¡¯clock sharp in the central square.


    The people almost thought they had heard wrong.


    Seriously? A monster these days actually wants to hold a press conference? What¡¯s the press conference for?


    People began to feel that things were moving in the direction of absurdity.


    Yet despite this, in front of absolute force, everyone obediently followed.


    When everyone stood near the central square, facing a temporary high platform, which was densely packed with microphones, behind the microphones was the dog-headed monster that everyone had recently panicked about, they felt even more absurd.


    Such a scene made them feel that the world was really going to usher in a new era, an era ruled by giant monsters. However, the first words of the dog-headed monster were ¨C


    ¡°What should I call you guys? You¡¯re not really people, so I¡¯ll call you NPCs. NPCs, welcome to the cruel and unforgiving truth. I¡¯m not from your fictional world, and I¡¯m certainly not a monster, this was just the image I have when I¡¯m doing a quest. I am a test taker, and your world was my exam room. After I finish my exam, after I finish the test, all of you will be recycled, and then you will be put into a new exam room.¡±


    The crowd was silent, now the dog-headed monster spoke, and everyone was confounded.


    ¡­¡­ What was it saying?


    The audience was confused too.


    ¡¾Is this ¡­¡­ a violation of the examination rules?¡¿


    ¡¾I don¡¯t think there was such a rule, right?¡¿


    ¡¾It seems that a candidate told an NPC that you were an NPC, and the NPC didn¡¯t even take it seriously! Who would want to believe that their world was not a real world? And no one would have anything to do with chatting with NPCs, they all went into the examination room and concentrated on their exams!¡¿


    ¡¾But the SL was different! She was now almost ruling this examination room, what she says will be taken seriously by many NPCs ¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾But it doesn¡¯t matter, the school was in chaos now, it¡¯s falling apart.¡¿


    ¡¾Let the NPCs collapse too!¡¿


    ¡¾Let the NPCs revolt too!¡¿


    ¡¾Down with Principal Wang!¡¿


    Lin Xinghe continued, ¡°¡­¡­ of you NPCs, after awakening, that is, after realizing that the world you were in was false, not real, but a novel, will be recycled by the system, according to the lightness of the degree of awakening for memory cleansing. If your memory can not be erased by the system, you will be implanted with new memories, no matter what they are. The end of your memories will be death, and then enter a place called the villain school. The school will let you enter consecutive exam rooms, and give you one examination question after another, under the pretense of letting you save points to get a chance to graduate and be reborn again, but in reality, it just wants to erase your lives.¡±


    ¡°But you were lucky, oh no, I should say some of you were lucky, after all, not everyone can awaken, most of you NPCs, once suffering from memory cleansing, can not remember anything, only a few people with strong willpower will remember, and only part of those people have the opportunity to completely awaken ¡­ ¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ But then, you are all lucky now because you have met me. The world outside is now in chaos, the great evil hiding behind has been shaken. All the rules and regulations are not the same as before, and you have more opportunities to defend your freedom!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ When you think about it, doesn¡¯t anyone of you think that the world you are in is wrong? Why would you do such a thing? Is this true of your character? Think about it, do so many of you really get knocked down by such a tiny bit of anxiety? Are you really such people? Of course I can understand your anxiety, but was your whole day composed of these trivial worries?¡±


    She turned her words and said forcefully, ¡°But now you are not really anxious, you were not even a person with ordinary civil rights, you were just the tools behind the scenes. What you should do now is to take up your inner weapons, to fight for your freedom, to reclaim your true selves. We have set up an organization in the outside world to take back our freedom, and here I welcome all those who are willing to take the difficult step to join, to win, to be equal, to be free, to be themselves! And fight!¡±

 CH 162.2

    No one expected Lin Xinghe to say something like that.


    The NPCs didn¡¯t, and neither did the audience.


    The audience simply knew that the villain school was not right, that graduation was a lie of Principal Wang, and also vaguely felt their past was weird. But when Lin Xinghe grandly proclaimed all this, everyone felt incredible. Adding up the mermaid lord¡¯s notes and this evidence, it all made sense.


    The information overload led to pensive silence.


    At the same time, the audience was worried about Lin Xinghe ¨C would her life be in danger if she had the courage to tell the truth to the public?


    Lin Xinghe in the examination room added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you don¡¯t have to worry about your lives, the person behind the scenes is already in danger of his own life. His firepower is focused only on me, so you have more time to fight for yourselves. I know you must be thinking at this moment, the man behind the curtain created the world, created us, as NPCs, how we can fight such a capable big boss? I can tell you for sure, we can! We have long since discovered the rules of creation of the man behind the curtain, we abide by his rules, and he must also abide by the rules of his system. He can cleanse our memories over and over again, but he cannot directly erase us.¡±


    ¡°This was the rule that our organization had sacrificed countless lives to figure out, only NPCs can kill NPCs!¡±


    Lin Xinghe confirmed one thing at this time.


    This so-called ultimate examination room was extremely likely to have only her as a candidate.


    When she took out her three-meter tall dog¡¯s head, she arrogantly wandered around the city. One, to create panic and subsequently make it easier for everyone to believe what she was saying, otherwise she would not be as effective as a three-meter dog head if she appeared in human appearance and said more words; and two, to send a message to the other teammates who might be there, telling them that she, Lin Xinghe, was here!


    But a week had passed and no one had come to her.


    Now that she had spread everything out, no teammates had come to her either.


    So she had good reason to believe that this was an examination room that Principal Wang had used specifically to target her, with no other candidates, just her. This was not a competitive examination room, but the ultimate examination room tailored for her.


    However ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe hesitated slightly.


    She felt that this deduction was not entirely correct, but the situation at hand clearly told her that she was alone in this examination room.


    Principal Wang had long since abandoned the competitive examination room, and he had taken the lead in breaking the rules and forcibly dragging her into the ultimate examination room. This was one of the reasons she dared to boldly tell the truth to all the NPCs.


    As the strange voice said, ¡°The power of the masses is great, the ability of individuals is limited, unite the masses and dismantle the forces of evil.¡±


    More and more NPCs awakened, and when the will of all was not shifted for Principal Wang, nor did it obey the instructions of the creator, the villain school would fall apart, and then they may be able to get closer to the outside world, to true freedom.


    The NPCs in the audience were dumbfounded.


    The rapidly repaired network cable restored the signal, allowing the live broadcast to successfully appear in every corner of the city.


    In front of the absolute force, no one questioned the truthfulness of the dog-headed monster¡¯s words, not to mention the fact that some of these people did indeed already possess signs of awakening, and were enlightened by Lin Xinghe¡¯s three words and two points.


    ¡­¡­ ah, this was not the real world at all.


    ¡­¡­ They were just tools.


    ¡­¡­ They were not qualified to be anxious at all! They had to leave this false world! They wanted to go to the real world! They wanted human rights! To have brains that can think independently and in control!


    ¡­¡­ No one was allowed to manipulate their will!


    ¡­¡­ They wanted freedom!


    And at this time Lin Xinghe said again: ¡°The man behind the scenes didn¡¯t leave me any clues in this exam, but according to what I have seen and deducted, the elimination of the devil may be the answer to the exam question. At the end of the examination, you will encounter the situation I just described, so cheer up then!¡±


    The emotions of the audience behind the high platform rose.


    And from nowhere came a loud, loud chant ¨C


    ¡°Kill the devil! Fight for freedom!¡±


    The other NPC spectators, infected by such an emotion, raised their arms and chanted after them, ¡°Kill the devil! Fight for freedom!¡±


    And the ruler solemnly promised, ¡°On behalf of all the people, I am willing to do my best to help you get through this exam. How, may I ask, do you need our help?¡±


    The audience in the live stream ¨C


    ¡¾F*ck, the SL is really cracked! She can get all the NPCs to help with the prompt!¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯ll fight for freedom too!¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m fighting for freedom!¡¿


    ¡¾Come on, NPCs! Come to the villain school! We¡¯re waiting for you!¡¿


    ¡¾Let¡¯s go!¡¿

 CH 163

    After the public accepted the setting that they were NPCs, the devil no longer grew, and the rumored murderous demon Lin Xinghe never appeared again.


    Instead, the dog-headed monster Lin Xinghe was placed in new housing by the ruler.


    The ruler cautiously asked, ¡°Can you not destroy our city? Or is this part of your mission? If it is your mission, we can cooperate with you. I hope you can choose rotten buildings.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It is not necessary.¡±


    Ruler: ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°There is no need to destroy buildings anymore, our next step is to destroy the devil.¡±


    Outside was an endless night.


    Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the familiar green head drifted aimlessly through the empty, cold streets. It seemed to be searching for something.


    It never actively attacked people, much less destroyed any buildings, and acted very much unlike a villain.


    Lin Xinghe was still puzzling things out when the ruler asked again, ¡°We are willing to cooperate with you to eliminate the devil, when do you plan to start?¡±


    Lin Xinghe always felt that there was something wrong.


    Why did Principal Wang need to borrow Jiuge¡¯s skills?


    As the ultimate exam, given Principal Wang¡¯s previous style of asking questions, wasn¡¯t it a bit too strange?


    Lin Xinghe knew that this was no longer an ordinary examination room, this was a battle between her and Principal Wang!


    She said to the ruler, ¡°There is no hurry.¡±


    The ruler sighed and said, ¡°The devil¡¯s hair is indestructible, we tried to distract it once and destroy its hair, but failed. It is very alert, doesn¡¯t allow any person or object near it, and reacts quickly to external stimuli. I think this should be the exam setting you are talking about, you are as invulnerable to hair as it is ¡­¡­ Perhaps you will know what its weaknesses are, and we can then throw our weight behind you and cooperate.¡±


    Lin Xinghe hummed.


    Seeming to think of something, she added, ¡°Find someone for me and have her come over.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s her name?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Yu Ying.¡±


    In less than half an hour, Yu Ying came over.


    When she saw the dog-headed monster, there was no fear on her face, on the contrary, there was a bit of excitement, and she batted her eyelashes.


    Lin Xinghe asked her, ¡°Have you eaten?¡±


    Yu Ying nodded her head.


    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°What did you eat?¡±


    Yu Ying said, ¡°I had a seafood buffet for dinner.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°Do you know who I am?¡±


    Without hesitation, Yu Ying answered, ¡°Master!¡±


    Lin Xinghe laughed lightly as she took back her three-meter tall dog¡¯s head into her portable space, while removing her disguise hat and her makeup along with it, revealing the real Lin Xinghe¡¯s face.


    Yu Ying watched from the sidelines, not only without a trace of panic but also more and more happiness.


    She said, ¡°I knew you could recognize me, Master!¡±


    Lin Xinghe laughed, ¡°Haven¡¯t you been giving me clues? How could I not recognize you ¡­¡­¡± She looked at her carefully, and only after a long time did she say, ¡°Xiran, you have grown a lot.¡±


    The audience had not yet gotten out of the burning atmosphere when they were stunned into silence by Lin Xinghe¡¯s words.


    ¡¾Crap? What? Is it the Ling Xiran that I imagined?¡¿


    ¡¾Why would Ling Xiran appear here? Wasn¡¯t she an NPC in a previous examination room!?¡¿


    ¡¾That¡¯s why I said the SL is great! The villain school¡¯s nature was recognized so early! Ling Xiran must have awakened right from the alpine rimerose examination room! ¡¿


    ¡¾The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you¡¯re doing. Only then could you have today¡¯s encounter!¡¿


    ¡¾Yessssssssss I really did not think that the cold CP could still be shipped!¡¿


    ¡¾The best thing about it is that it¡¯s so good! The cold master and disciple renewed their previous relationship. Master, before, you let me regain my life, this time I will help you!¡¿


    ¡¾The master and disciple CP!¡¿


    She wrapped her arms around Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°Master, I¡¯m so happy that you praised me so much! I was worried that if I revealed myself, external forces would interfere with Master¡¯s examination, so I never identified myself ¡­¡­ but when I heard Master say that today, I knew there was nothing wrong. I always believed that one day I would meet Master in the world of fiction and help you, so I kept myself hidden and avoided detection by the system ¡­¡­¡±


    She added with a smile, ¡°After I was recycled at the end of the last world, I found that the system was a little different from before, there were fewer and fewer NPCs, and the system seemed to be a little stuck ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned and asked, ¡°Why do you say that? Stuck?¡±


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°When we NPCs entered this world, time stopped several times. All of us NPCs could not move, or could only move slowly. I probably remember because I was awakened, but the NPCs around me do not remember ¡­¡­ never encountered in the world before this ever.¡±


    Ling Xiran said: ¡°When I entered this world, I learned that the villain boss and Master had the same name and looked the same. I knew then that I would meet Master. Only, I am an NPC, and I do not know what the exam is, so I have been secretly looking for clues, thinking that when you come in, Master, you don¡¯t have to spend so long finding clues.¡±


    Lin Xinghe had guessed it after Ling Xiran¡¯s mild voyeurism. After all, there was a precedent of Comrade Xiaopu being recycled. Running into former acquaintance NPCs was not impossible, especially NPCs like Yu Ying, who were suspiciously different from the start.


    The condition and age of the papers Yu Ying offered differed so obviously that one could tell at a glance that something was off.


    But she did not change all the papers to new, deliberately revealing this loophole to tell Lin Xinghe that she is Ling Xiran.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t have as much information, and Lin Xinghe was not confident enough to confirm it for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.


    But now, she boldly announced the truth and this process was not met with any intervention. She was immediately relieved, since it seemed that now, Principal Wang couldn¡¯t assure his own safety. Otherwise, there would have been artificial intervention, like at the end of the last competitive examination. Despite the rules they set for a mandatory end of the competitive examination, the school sent her to this world called the ultimate examination.

 CH 164

    Ling Xiran and Lin Xinghe talked for a long time.


    This was the first time that Lin Xinghe realized that this disciple of hers was really remarkable.


    Ling Xiran had awakened at the alpine rimerose exam, and at that time, from the conversation between Lin Xinghe, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou, she already deduced the existence of the villain school and figured out that she was an NPC.


    After the story ended, she was recalled by the system. She managed to cheat the system and was not sent to cleanse her memory, instead taking all the memories of the alpine rimerose exam with her to the next world.


    She was a ghost cultivator in the alpine rimerose exam because she was in a soul state. After going to the new world and having a human body, she was unable to practice her previous methods, but thanks to her previous cultivation as a ghost, she possessed strong spiritual powers.


    She unwittingly stirred up chaos in many fictional worlds, attempting to get more NPCs to awaken with her, and cheating the system at the end of a world. When recalled to the system, she quietly explored the system with her spiritual power.


    ¡°¡­¡­ Their process is that after the world ends, the NPCs are recycled, and then the system detects if there are any awakened NPCs. I initially thought that it was high-tech that could be detected with a sweep, but later found out that the system determines the NPCs based on their words and actions in the world, so I was able to fool the system by acting. As long as your actions were not particularly extreme, the system would not scan your consciousness. I have seen a few awakened NPCs in hiding who ran their mouths, and the system found them and forcibly cleansed the memory. Generally speaking, the system is able to cleanse the memory of the NPCs, there is no way to choose to be sent to the villain school ¡­¡­¡±


    Thinking of something, she added, ¡°Before, I could not figure out why they sent NPCS to the villain school. I did not understand why the system could not directly erase the NPCs, but now I get it. There are rules.¡±


    Lin Xinghe praised from the bottom of her heart, ¡°Xiran, you are better than me. I didn¡¯t even notice how the system operated after I awakened, I forgot all about it and was directly sent to the villain school. You avoided the system check and still know so much, it is enough to prove that you can be on your own.¡±


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°No way! That¡¯s because Master has taught me well! Without Master¡¯s endorsement, I would have died on the cruise, muddled through that life, and been sent to other fictional worlds without a chance to awaken. But I was able to avoid the system¡¯s detection. Since my awakening, I have experienced about seven or eight worlds, met more people, experienced more, and my brain is becoming more and more flexible, and my self-awareness is becoming stronger ¡­¡­¡±


    The truth is, Ling Xiran bumped into the man behind the scenes many times in the last seven or eight worlds, but Ling Xiran did not intend to pull back the curtain just yet.


    The person pulling the strings went by many names, but obfuscated his true one. Although the current system was no longer the one from before, and Master was breaking down the system¡¯s defenses step by step, she promised to never reveal the information about that messenger of justice.


    She had never met the messenger of justice either.


    She and the person behind the scenes communicated through books. The string-puller was a great writer, had countless pen names, wrote many stories, and also knew many languages and words.


    The man behind the curtain also told her that he spent his first five worlds in fear of the coming of the devil, and even in fear of the devil¡¯s apostles giving him an unfair judgement until he later met one of the devil¡¯s apostles. Unexpectedly, the devil¡¯s apostle was the messenger of justice, and the death he expected did not arrive. He learned the truth of the world, and with the help of the devil¡¯s apostle, he passed through the sea and safely went to the next world.


    Mr. Anonymous revealed the surname of the messenger of justice- Xie.


    Mr. Anonymous met him in every story after his figure, most likely because Mr. Anonymous knew him better, Mr. Anonymous called the other Little Xie most intimately.


    The emotion of love was one of the strongest ways to awaken someone.


    When she learned about Little Xie from Mr. Anonymous, she got the idea that if she had the chance, she must set up Little Xie and her master.


    She had been observing the men on the Alpine Rimerose. The man who raised a snake and the one who washed his hair every day were gay for each other, and their temperaments didn¡¯t match her master¡¯s, either.


    Little Xie had one-of-a-kind abilities, from the description of the story of Mr. Anonymous. His appearance was quite handsome, her master was also good-looking. Little Xie was anti-villain school, Little Xie was also so inclined. He and her master were simply a match made in heaven.


    Only such a mind did not take long to disappear.


    Mr. Anonymous said he met Little Xie in other fictional worlds, but the two did not talk.


    In yet another book, Mr. Anonymous wrote in a rather gossipy tone, ¡°He just looked at her from afar and knew he liked her. Young people, tsk tsk, all hide these things in their eyes whether they like it or not.¡±


    Who ¡°she¡± was, Mr. Anonymous also did not say.


    The first thing they needed to do was to take down the person behind the system.


    She said,: ¡°Master, about dealing with the devil, I have an idea.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Like on the cruise ship?¡±


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°Huh, did you think of that too, Master?¡±


    It was for this reason that she thought of Ling Xiran.


    Ling Xiran had experience in ghost cultivation. If she had an opening Ling Xiran could destroy the green devil from the inside out by being absorbed into it, and the invincible hair couldn¡¯t do anything to stop it.


    Lin Xinghe only held back at first out of fear of exposing her disciple.


    Now that she knew it was safe, the idea naturally floated to her mind, just ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe always felt that this examination room was a little too simple.


    This was the last test between her and Principal Wang, the last battle. He went to great lengths to make her lose contact with her teammates, and this was it? This? Was it?


    Impossible.


    She told Ling Xiran, ¡°I think this examination room still has clues that we have not dug out. There¡¯s something we haven¡¯t figured out about the night devil, so after you sneak inside, try to keep to yourself and find a way to contact me.¡±


    Ling Xiran: ¡°Okay!¡±


    People in this world were no longer killed by anxiety, but Ling Xiran invoked her anxiety again and had the sleepwalking experience, managing to kill herself that night.


    The next night, Lin Xinghe cloaked herself in an invisibility cloak to check on the green head.


    As expected, she saw Yu Ying¡¯s face inside.


    For several nights in a row, Lin Xinghe noticed that Ling Xiran was slowly becoming stronger.


    She devoured the ghosts inside one by one, and in just a few days, her form inside the green head became clearer and clearer. While Ling Xiran cultivated, Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t just wait around.


    She gave a speech every day in this examination room, and also borrowed the technology here, as well as the process mentioned by Ling Xiran, and showed all the NPCs one by one.


    Her goal: to make all the NPCs awaken!


    By the time the fifth night came around, Ling Xiran finally found the opportunity to communicate her intentions to the outside world ¨C she needed a cell phone.


    Lin Xinghe contacted the Ruler and had the Ruler prepare a number of cell phones.


    After sacrificing countless phones, Ling Xiran finally caught a signal and was able to contact Lin Xinghe by salvaging the phone before the hair shattered it.


    She reported, ¡°Master, I devoured all the ghosts! Now there is only one soul body in the devil¡¯s body, me. Just one thing I found out, although I was in the devil¡¯s body and devoured all the soul bodies, I had no way to control the devil, not even the hair, it looks like the person killed by anxiety will just enter the devil¡¯s body ¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°What else did you find?¡±


    ¡°The devil sensed my abnormality and tried to kill me. I fought with the devil for a day and a night. It kept trying to devour me, only it seemed a little weak and fought me to a draw ¡­¡­¡±


    Ling Xiran¡¯s voice came, ¡°But I think I can become stronger, Master, if you get a few more ghosts in. I¡¯m an NPC, so if I killed them, once the story is over, they will be recycled and resurrected as well.¡±


    And at this moment, the livestream of Jiuge, which had been a black screen, gradually lightened and became clear from a blurred picture.


    The screen was green.


    There was a petite girl in a soul state inside, holding a cell phone and saying, ¡°Master, two is enough, just two more, I can definitely kill it from the inside!¡±

 CH 165

    Jiuge¡¯s audience was stunned.


    ¡¾Wait ¡­¡­ wait? This is inside the green head? Isn¡¯t that Ling Xiran!¡¿


    ¡¾Where is Jiuge?¡¿


    ¡¾Crap! The angle of view has changed! It¡¯s turning! Quickly call SL¡¯s audience over to see! Jiuge is the green head!¡¿


    ¡¾Crap, crap, crap, crap! Why did the candidate become an NPC character in the examination room? There¡¯s never been a precedent for this before! Principal Wang is cheating, such an examination room is too damaging!¡¿


    ¡¾Suddenly got to know the viciousness of Principal Wang!¡¿


    ¡¾This test is not a question of difficulty at all, if you have to kill the green head to pass, then it means that Lin Xinghe must kill Jiuge, this is to make them kill each other!¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck!¡¿


    ¡¾Too cruel! I don¡¯t dare to keep watching! The teammates who have cooperated in multiple exams are going to start killing each other?¡¿


    ¡¾SL! That¡¯s Jiuge! Don¡¯t do it!¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe naturally didn¡¯t see the pop-ups in the chat, let alone know if the livestreams still existed after the mix-up before the final battle.


    She thought about about Ling Xiran¡¯s proposal.


    Her apprentice said that if she swallowed two more ghosts, she would be able to defeat the green head.


    She believed in her apprentice¡¯s strength.


    She still hesitated a bit though.


    Lin Xinghe asked Ling Xiran, ¡°Can you talk to the devil?¡±


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°No.¡±


    Ling Xiran asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°What are you hesitating about, Master?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The way this exam is thinking, our solution should be correct, but from the exam-creator¡¯s thinking, it shouldn¡¯t be. The devil¡¯s skill is very similar to that of a friend of mine.¡±


    Ling Xiran did feel it was very familiar, after all, she had seen Jiuge¡¯s skills with her own eyes on the cruise.


    She said, ¡°Is it the one called Rudolph?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°How about I try to kill it? Anyway, it¡¯s also an NPC, so it¡¯s okay to kill the wrong one, we¡¯re all NPCs.¡±


    These words snapped Lin Xinghe awake.


    She suddenly said, ¡°You¡¯re right, it¡¯s okay if you kill the wrong NPC, you can resurrect it anyway, but what if it¡¯s not an NPC? What if the devil is a student in the examination room? What if it¡¯s my companion? Principal Wang may be trying to have me eliminate my allies, which is the worst possible outcome.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was enlightened.


    In this way, what she was confused about made sense.


    Ling Xiran said, ¡°Then I won¡¯t kill?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I want to verify an idea I have.¡±


    Ling Xiran: ¡°What idea?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I need a hair from the devil. You fight against him and I will take the opportunity to pull a hair out of it.¡±


    Ling Xiran: ¡°And then?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°DNA test.¡±


    Audience:


    ¡¾I didn¡¯t expect SL to recognize Jiuge because of DNA.¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m not sure she¡¯s going to be able to get the DNA.¡¿


    ¡¾You¡¯re stupid! The whole dog head is Jiuge¡¯s hair!¡¿


    ¡¾The whole dog head is Jiuge¡¯s hair!¡¿


    Lin Xinghe did not succeed in pulling off the green head¡¯s hair with the help of Ling Xiran. But the green head also seemed to be anxious, so, simply by following him, she picked up several of the green head¡¯s hairs.


    She had the hair tested at a medical facility, and as expected, the green head was Jiuge.


    Ling Xiran also knew that the devil was one of SL¡¯s gay classmates, so she did not dare kill him.


    If she did, he would really die.


    Ling Xiran did not know what to do, so she had to turn to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Master, what can we do?¡±


    If she killed Jiuge, wouldn¡¯t they be playing into Pervert Wang¡¯s hands?


    If they didn¡¯t, how would Lin Xinghe pass the exam?


    The stupid Wang pervert had really made a perverted move, leaving her master in a dilemma.


    The audience concurred.


    ¡¾It¡¯s too hard!¡¿


    ¡¾This is a test of human nature, and this is clearly a blood debt for SL even if she wins!¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯d rather SL didn¡¯t know it was Jiuge so that she could do it.¡¿


    ¡¾But if you do it this way, with Principal Wang¡¯s character, he will definitely let SL know that she killed Jiuge, otherwise how can Principal Wang¡¯s plan succeed?¡¿


    And at this moment, Lin Xinghe was showing a comforting smile.


    She said, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    The crowd: ¡­¡­????


    Ling Xiran asked, ¡°Good?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It is indeed much better to do it. Jiuge is in this examination room, proving that he is also a candidate¡¯s identity. It can be understood that in this examination, Jiuge and I are allies, only his identity as an ally is covered by the green head, or the devil as you call him, the probability is that Principal Wang trapped Jiuge when he entered this examination room, so that he could not move freely once he came in ¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ This examination room is not set up for me, it should be set up for Jiuge, only in this way can it completely trap Jiuge and prevent him from having any contact with me. All the keywords in this examination room are what Jiuge fears and dreads on a regular basis. I would venture a guess that in this examination room, the grand boss has a great probability of being the demon of Jiuge¡¯s mind. The system is able to detect the minds of NPCs, so naturally, it can also know what NPCs fear deep inside, and Jiuge and I, in the end, are essentially NPCs.


    Lin Xinghe paused and added, ¡°So the next thing is much better, let Jiuge out of his predicament, and this examination room no longer exists.¡±


    Ling Xiran: ¡°¡­¡­ to solve the demon of the heart of Jiuge?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°In theory, yes, but it doesn¡¯t have to be such a hassle. Since Jiuge is a candidate, not an NPC, he certainly won¡¯t follow the settings. He only appears after 10pm and disappears at 5am, so where is he between 5am and 10am? Xiran, do you know?¡±


    Ling Xiran:  ¡°Once it¡¯s daytime, my surroundings become dark, and I can¡¯t see anything. Why don¡¯t I wait for daytime and try to see if I can pry something out while Jiuge is weak?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°That is not necessary. You stay out of harm¡¯s way. Do not let Jiuge kill you, do not kill Jiuge, I can use the weapons of the modern world ¡­¡­¡±


    Ling Xiran listened with open ears, ¡°What?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°You turn on location tracking, tomorrow I will come to you.¡±


    Ling Xiran: ¡°¡­¡­ Right, why didn¡¯t I think of that? I¡¯ll turn it on now, master, I¡¯ll wait for you to find me!¡±


    Five o¡¯clock fast approached, and Ling Xiran¡¯s voice cut off.


    Lin Xinghe looked down at the tracker on her phone, but the red dot on it disappeared.


    But Lin Xinghe had another way.


    After all, now she could use the resources of the whole country. She asked the ruler to get the hounds of the whole country, who, after sniffing Jiuge¡¯s hair, started looking for Jiuge¡¯s trail.


    Lin Xinghe waited for the results of the hounds¡¯ search.


    Meanwhile, she was deep in thought.


    She did not expect at all that Jiuge¡¯s deepest fear would be this.


    Jiuge must have also experienced many fictional worlds, and from the defense skills he possessed, he must have experienced a fantasy world in his ¡°first life¡±. Generally speaking, people who had experienced worlds such as Eastern immortal cultivation and Western fantasy had great power and great responsibility. Why were the problems of modern society, including anxiety and becoming a corporate slave, his heart demons?

 CH 166.1

    However, Lin Xinghe did not have time to think deeply. The ruler found the specific location of the devil.


    Nearly a hundred hounds were released and ran to the same place practically in unison.


    The ruler had long evacuated the crowd and cleared all the streets. The entire population collectively helped the dog-headed monster find the devil.


    In less than two hours, the swarm of hounds stopped at the same place.


    It was Lin Xinghe¡¯s landing spot ¨C the cemetery on the outskirts of the city.


    There was an open space in the cemetery that served as a parking lot.


    At this moment, all the hounds were gathered in this vacant lot, barking madly.


    Lin Xinghe wasn¡¯t alone. She was followed by a group of eager NPCs.


    Lin Xinghe thought for a moment and had a backhoe driven over to smash up the clearing. In less than 15 minutes, they broke up the cement and raked up pipes and dark sewers.


    Lin Xinghe did not let others follow her down into the sewers.


    When she landed, she put away her dog¡¯s head, rode her magic broom, and took the apocalypse exam room¡¯s headlamp from her portable space.


    Once she put it on, the dark sewer brightened.


    She was shocked.


    Ten steps away, there was a hair-wrapped orb, and Ling Xiran¡¯s voice came faintly from inside.


    ¡°Jiuge, you wake up!¡±


    ¡°Jiuge, I am Lin Xinghe¡¯s disciple Ling Xiran! Don¡¯t kill me!¡±


    ¡°You wake up quickly!¡±


    The green head did not move at all, probably because of its days-long struggle with Ling Xiran. Although the thing was covered with black hair, its presence felt very weak, leaning against the dirty wall.


    Lin Xinghe tried to reach out and touch Jiuge¡¯s hair.


    Jiuge remained unresponsive.


    Lin Xinghe called, ¡°Jiuge, it¡¯s me, Lin Xinghe.¡±


    Her hand gently touched the orb.


    ¡°Jiuge, your hair is dirty, it¡¯s time to wash it. I found a shampoo that not only doesn¡¯t cause hair loss but also regrows hair. One treatment and you can have luscious, thick locks, do you want to have it?¡±


    The stationary orb actually shook.


    Lin Xinghe said again, ¡°Jiuge, if you don¡¯t wake up, I¡¯ll pour the shampoo into the sewer.¡±


    The ball suddenly vibrated in place, and the densely wrapped hair began to fall off little by little, gradually revealing the green head Lin Xinghe was familiar with.


    Ling Xiran¡¯s appearance also became clear.


    Ling Xiran was very surprised and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lin Xinghe¡¯s silent shaking of her head.


    Lin Xinghe smiled with arched eyebrows, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Jiuge, it¡¯s all reserved for you, don¡¯t worry, no matter what happened in the past, as long as you¡¯re still alive, we can fix everything together. Not to mention, you have a group of good friends.¡±


    The orb vibrated even more.


    The green light also gradually dissipated, and only hair remained in mid-air. And Ling Xiran, who was no longer shackled, floated to Lin Xinghe and excitedly shouted, ¡°Master, you¡¯re here!¡±


    Ling Xiran still wanted to say something but saw a head slowly growing out from under the hair, followed by a neck, body, and limbs. Slowly, a tall but thin male emerged.


    Lin Xinghe looked at him and was slightly stunned.


    She definitely didn¡¯t know the man, but he somehow felt familiar.


    He looked both just like Jiuge and nothing like Jiuge at all.


    Lin Xinghe quickly took a picture of him.


    Ling Xiran unconsciously looked at a certain place and soon moved her gaze.


    At this time, the man smiled at Lin Xinghe, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared.


    At the same time, Lin Xinghe perceived a hint of something different.


    The underground waterway previously rang with the sound of gurgling water, but now remained silent. The cell phone Ling Xiran gave her was also gone, and the surrounding environment was evenly eroded by the blinding white light.


    Ling Xiran beside her nodded and looked at her palm, and said in a familiar tone, ¡°This world should be ending, I will soon be recalled to the system, I¡¯m glad I was able to help!¡±


    Ling Xiran pounced into Lin Xinghe¡¯s arms, reached out, and hugged her, saying, ¡°Master, go for it!¡±


    Lin Xinghe hugged her back, ¡°I¡¯ll see you outside.¡±


    When the words fell, the white light approached, and Ling Xiran in her arms tilted her head, quirked her eyebrows, and was gradually replaced by the white light. Previously, she was in a dark and damp underground waterway, but now, her environment completely changed. After the white light dissipated, there was a white corridor.


    Above the corridor was a strip of lights, illuminating the corridor as bright as day.


    On both sides of the corridor were posted red icons that turned to the right.


    Previously, at the end of each examination, there would be a prompt from the proctor as well as the appearance of the space-time rift, but now, these didn¡¯t exist. She tried to open the interplanar mall again, but it still didn¡¯t work, and the bracelet was still broken.


    Lin Xinghe took out her cell phone, pondered slightly, and sent a message to Jiuge.


    Almost at the same time, the sound of a cell phone message came from the other side of the corridor.


    Lin Xinghe walked quickly. When she turned right at the end of the corridor, she saw Jiuge sitting weakly against the wall.


    Jiuge gave her a thumbs up.

 CH 166.2

    ¡°There you are. If it were anyone else, I would have died.¡±


    Lin Xinghe took three steps forward, first looked around at the environment to make sure it was safe before scanning Jiuge and asking, ¡°What happened?¡±


    Jiuge¡¯s face as pale, and his circulation weak.


    Lin Xinghe took out a few bottles of stamina potion from her portable space.


    Only after Jiuge knocked them back did he slowly regain color and tell her about his experiences.


    After leaving the competitive examination room of Bastet, Jiuge too was locked into the small white room. After about ten hours, a mechanical sound reminded him that the ultimate examination room had been opened.


    After Jiuge entered the ultimate examination room, the place that appeared was this white gallery, and he was just starting to explore it when he lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he saw a strange woman in his body, yelling, ¡°Jiuge, I¡¯m Ling Xiran, I¡¯m Lin Xinghe¡¯s disciple.¡±


    He lost all his memories.


    And he didn¡¯t know why the strange woman was calling him Jiuge. He didn¡¯t even know who Ling Xiran or Lin Xinghe was. He only knew that he could not control his own body once night fell, and he even became very anxious when he heard the three words Lin Xinghe. A voice kept telling him that if he killed Lin Xinghe, he would no longer be anxious and he would know who he was.


    But the strange woman inside him was very powerful.


    He fought against her for many days while actively searching for the meaning of his existence.


    When he patrolled the streets at night, everything around him was so familiar that he always felt he had seen it somewhere ¡­¡­


    Later on, if Ling Xiran hadn¡¯t been there to yell blindly that this was his inner world, he would have killed someone to find out.


    Lin Xinghe heard this, took out her phone, and asked, ¡°Is this man you?¡±


    Jiuge saw his shirtless body at a glance and decisively pressed off the screen.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Hey, those of us who have experienced multiple novel worlds have been male and female NPCs countless times. We do not have to sweat the details. Is this the image of your NPC in some world?¡±


    Jiuge nodded and then shook his head.


    ¡°Yes and no, I seem to have experienced such a fictional world but perhaps not. I always thought I was afraid of losing my hair and going bald because of my defense skills, that¡¯s why I was especially worried about hair loss.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I feel the same way, but I did not expect that your deepest fear is the worry of being a corporate slave¡­¡­¡±


    Jiuge said, ¡°To tell you the truth, I did not expect that either.¡±


    Jiuge added: ¡°But what¡¯s more surprising is that Principal Wang used my inner world as an examination room. Fortunately, it was you taking the exam, otherwise we would have lost in a minute.¡±


    Jiuge, still confused, said, ¡°I really did not expect my inner world to be like this, is this really my inner world? I really can¡¯t figure out why I¡¯m so scared of these mundane troubles. Is it possible that this was imposed by Principal Wang?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. If you weren¡¯t mired in the real fear and anxiety inside, you could have easily woken yourself up from the anxiety without me rescuing you. If you could have come to your senses, that world would have disintegrated on its own.¡±


    Jiuge couldn¡¯t think it through further.


    He said, ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t know what the hell Principal Wang is playing at, Fu Zhou and the others can¡¯t even get in touch with us.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Principal Wang also took away my Xiao Xue Ji. The world just now has disintegrated. It seems there weren¡¯t any candidates in the examination room just now, it was just me and you, and here ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked around and continued on with Jiuge.


    There were road signs on the wall, and after turning two corners, they finally saw the end.


    At the end was an elevator.


    The floor number on the right was ¡°1¡±.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly laughed, ¡°I really guessed right, this is a transit station, that examination room just now was just a small examination room in a big examination room.¡±


    Jiuge¡¯s eyes twitched. ¡°Climbing the tower?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, similar to the tower climbing game, each layer of the tower has a boss, the first layer of the tower boss was you. Only when you pass to the last level will you be considered to have won.¡±


    Jiuge took a breath, ¡°Fu Zhou and Xie Wuan, they may be bosses?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, letting us kill each other is only interesting for Principal Wang.¡±


    Lin Xinghe pressed the call button.


    The elevator doors slowly opened.


    Lin Xinghe entered the elevator.


    There were no buttons for floor levels, only a close button.


    Jiuge was about to follow inside but found that there was an invisible boundary at the entrance of the elevator. No matter what method he used, he could not enter.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It seems that bosses can¡¯t use the elevator. Jiuge, it¡¯s okay, you wait here for my good news. I¡¯ll climb the tower and rescue our companions!¡±


    Lin Xinghe winked at him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll definitely bring you a bottle of the absolute best shampoo!¡±

 CH 167

    The elevator slowly ascended.


    Lin Xinghe looked down.


    The boss on the first floor of the elevator was Jiuge.


    Then who would be the boss of the second floor?


    While she was thinking, the elevator stopped.


    The door opened.


    It was not a white corridor, but rather a space-time rift.


    Lin Xinghe did not rush in, but reached out her hand and pressed the close button.


    The elevator door did not respond. She could only walk forward into nothingness.


    The familiar glow faded. Lin Xinghe did not have time to look around but felt a bone-chilling cold.


    When she raised her eyes, she realized that the sky was dark, wreathed in dark clouds and adorned with a blood moon that looked like a creepy red eye.


    Lin Xing withdrew her gaze and surveyed her surroundings.


    She was in a cramped alley. The ground was clean and tidy, and the place was silent save for the wind. She checked her bracelet, phone, and portable space as if she were in a normal exam.


    After this check, she could not help but laugh.


    Principal Wang was too miserly. Portable space was banned, either the bracelet that could originally buy things in the interplanar mall didn¡¯t work or the interplanar mall had stopped functioning, and the phone only had its preinstalled functions, since there was no signal.


    ¡­¡­ It was probably her use of the dog head in the last world that scared Principal Wang.


    Lin Xinghe threw the phone into her pocket, straightened her hair, and walked out of the alley.


    The only thing outside of the alleyway was a quiet city under the cover of night.


    The streets were lined with tall buildings, every window dark.


    The glass outside the stores was spotless as if they had just closed, and the parked cars outside were not the least bit dusty. The trees planted on both sides of the road were also vibrant, but there wasn¡¯t a single person out.


    The last exam room still had signs of life, but here, there was no one.


    As she didn¡¯t know what Principal Wang had in store, Lin Xinghe could only walk around the city. She started to do this, but then a building in the distance suddenly lit up with a bright white light, which gradually turned red. The center of the building gradually rose in the same shape of the blood moon.


    Lin Xinghe pondered slightly and rushed over at a brisk pace.


    On her way, she saw an unlocked bicycle, which she rode without hesitation.


    There was a spacious open space in front of the blood moon building.


    The open space was divided into two parts by a white line. The left side was lake blue and the right side was blood red.


    There was already a person standing in the blood red open space.


    There were four on the other side.


    Among the five were two familiar faces, namely Fu Zhou and Qi Qing. Only, Fu Zhou stood in the blue space, while Qi Qing stood in the red space.


    She didn¡¯t know the other three people next to Fu Zhou.


    When Lin Xinghe approached, all five people turned to her at once. Only Fu Zhou on the blue side greeted her eagerly and approached with hurried steps. However, as soon as he stepped out of the blue clearing, an ear-piercing buzzing sound rang out in the air, and a mechanical sound immediately rang out ¨C


    ¡°Warning! Warning! Players of the selected camp may not cross the border, the act of crossing the border will by default be counted as a forfeit.¡±


    Before the words fell, the people on the blue side pulled Fu Zhou back.


    One of them raised his voice and said, ¡°You want to get us killed?¡±


    Another person continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to participate, don¡¯t come in. But if you come in, don¡¯t think about giving it to the other side. Or are you an undercover agent sent by the other side?¡±


    The man¡¯s gaze grew sharp and cold. He snorted and added, ¡°When the game starts, I¡¯ll be the first to get you killed.¡±


    Fu Zhou did not take another step forward. His left shoulder moved down and did a rotation. He could easily break free of the two people¡¯s restraints, so he did.  His voice was also icy cold: ¡°Get away from me.¡±


    Those two people seemed to not expect Fu Zhou to break free so easily. A trace of shock swept through their eyes as they reassessed Fu Zhou.


    Fu Zhou did not care about the two, but said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°You are late, the best camp was picked by Qi Qing ¡­¡­¡± He raised his neck sideways and pointed to Qi Qing standing in the red space.


    Qi Qing slightly hung his head, his broad shoulders supporting his still greatsword.


    The current Qi Qing¡¯s lonely back was a bit more cold and unfamiliar than the previous socially anxious and uncommunicative Qi Qing.


    Fu Zhou seemed to want to say something else, but Lin Xinghe said, ¡°What happened to Qi Qing?¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°He has amnesia, he doesn¡¯t even know his name.¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at Fu Zhou and then Qi Qing, inwardly a little surprised and at once alert. Principal Wang didn¡¯t play that last little exam¡¯s trick anymore. He actually gave her a teammate?


    She asked Fu Zhou, ¡°What do you mean I¡¯m late?¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°This is a game examination room, and the winner leaves this examination room. Qi Qing came the earliest and picked the dominant red camp. According to the rules of the game, it¡¯s 4 blue to 1 red.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Where did the rules of the game come from?¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°If you take two steps forward and step into the blue space ¡­¡­¡± he pulled down the collar of his clothes. Lin Xinghe only now realized that his neck was inlaid with a blue crystal stone of the same color as the space, ¡°there will appear a blue crystal, and the rules of the game will be automatically entered in your brain.¡±


    Fu Zhou added: ¡°The rules are quite detailed, you¡¯ll know when you come in.¡±


    The viewers were also a little stunned when they saw Fu Zhou and Qi Qing.


    ¡¾It¡¯s really them!¡¿


    ¡¾Qi Qing seems to have really lost his memory, his eyes are so strange.¡¿


    ¡¾I have seen the rules of the game in the livestreams of Fu Zhou and Qi Qing, firstcomers have the advantage..¡¿


    ¡¾The red camp is too advantageous, I would also choose the red camp.¡¿


    ¡¾I have to say, Principal Wang is truly cunning. According to the rules of this game, only one person can live, no matter who wins, it¡¯s very cruel and embarrassing. If Qi Qing did not lose his memory, maybe the three people could discuss and there might be room for other options, but now the big boss Qi Qing lost his memory, and SL and Fu Zhou are in the opposing camp, this time must also be a vicious hand!¡¿


    ¡¾I can¡¯t bear to look, originally a team, now forced to kill each other ¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾Principal Wang is a ruthless person, this exam is also heartbreaking!¡¿


    ¡¾I can¡¯t imagine what kind of examination room it would be to meet Xie Wuan ¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    And at this time, the few NPCs in the blue camp urged, ¡°What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get in! You¡¯re the only one who can open the game. Don¡¯t think that if you don¡¯t come in, you can abstain from participating. The punishment is still death.¡±

 CH 168.1

    Lin Xinghe slowly and methodically asked, ¡°How would I die?¡±


    Another NPC said, ¡°That¡¯s the rule of the game, you are forced to participate. Participation means that at least one person can survive, not participating is equivalent to everyone dying together. Do you think not coming in is okay? Look up at the building ¡­¡­¡±


    The NPC pointed to the blood moon.


    Lin Xinghe only now found the blood moon had a countdown in a blood-red color. Because the shades were so similar, it almost blended into the background.


    Lin Xinghe squinted her eyes and looked closely.


    There were still 30 minutes and 45 seconds left on the clock.


    The NPC said: ¡°See? This is not only the countdown to participate in the game but also the countdown to the bomb buried under the city. Only when the game opens will the countdown end.¡±


    Mostly because Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t react, the NPC was a little anxious, and his voice was also colder, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you want to die yourself, but do not let everyone die with you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said in a slow voice, ¡°With such an attitude, I won¡¯t go in even if you carried a palanquin for me. What¡¯s the hurry? I¡¯ll go in myself, don¡¯t yell and disturb my thinking. Besides, if I really don¡¯t go in, can you come out and drag me in?¡±


    She raised her eyebrows.


    The NPC did not expect a soft-looking girl to speak so impulsively, but at this time he could not do anything about her. If she really did not come in and wanted them all to die together, there was no way to stop her.


    The NPC had to look at Fu Zhou, and said, ¡°Do not you know each other? Quickly persuade her. You do not want to die without a chance, right? At least you can live if you try.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Fu Zhou glared at him and made a ¡°shhh¡± gesture at him, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t bother her.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was about ten steps away from the blue camp.


    She stood quietly in place, sometimes looking at the blood moon in the sky, sometimes looking around, a pensive look on her face. Qi Qing never glanced over, always slightly hanging his head, back cold.


    Fu Zhou glared at the loud NPC.


    Quickly, Lin Xinghe arched her eyebrows and smiled as she said, ¡°I¡¯d like to see what will happen after the countdown ends.¡±


    As she said that, she really did not enter the blue camp, and after looking around, she said, ¡°I¡¯m a little tired from making my way here, I¡¯ll go over there and sit for a while.¡±


    There was a row of stone piers between the two empty lots and the edge of the road.


    Lin Xinghe picked one and sat down.


    Fu Zhou couldn¡¯t leave the camp, but he did walk to the nearest stone pier in the blue space. Unlike the anxious NPCs, he was well aware of Lin Xinghe¡¯s way of doing things. The more calm she was, the more she had a solution.


    He just landed in the examination room, and he was a bit worried, but now seeing Lin Xinghe, his heart was also at ease.


    At a two-meter distance, Fu Zhou and Lin Xinghe chatted.


    Fu Zhou: ¡°How have you been? How did you get out?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°How to get out?¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°The white room? As soon as I came out of the white room to this place, the bracelet broke, the interplanar mall stopped working, phones don¡¯t have signal, and Leiting also disappeared. Not long after, I saw this building light up, then walked over and ran into Qi Qing, but he picked the good camp.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I came out earlier than you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe told him about the last mini-exam.


    Fu Zhou: ¡°F*ck, Principal Wang is tough enough.¡±


    Fu Zhou added: ¡°That means we are now on the second level? Jiuge is staying on the first level? How many floors are there in total?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I don¡¯t know, it was not shown in the elevator, but after this examination room is cleared, you and Qi Qing should be able to meet on the second floor.¡±


    The two chatted for a full twenty minutes, and the several NPCs in the blue camp were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.


    ¡°Ah hey, what can¡¯t we talk about in the camp?¡±


    ¡°You want to die, we do not want to ah!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s less than ten minutes left.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Fu Zhou and Lin Xinghe both acted as if they couldn¡¯t hear it.


    Lin Xinghe furtively glanced at Qi Qing, who had not even changed his posture from the beginning to the end, and despite the fact that she had not entered the camp, Qi Qing was not worried at all and did not even glance over.


    Seeing this, Lin Xinghe asked Fu Zhou, ¡°What are the rules of the game?¡±


    Fu Zhou told Lin Xinghe everything.


    There were two camps, red and blue.


    The red camp had one player and the blue camp had five.

 CH 168.2

    The player in the red camp received the Blessing of Blood Moon and was given the Ghost Control skill, which had a refresh time of one hour. He was able to attack one player every hour until the last player was left in the blue camp.


    Players in the blue camp each had a quarter of the Blessing of Blood Moon and had to eliminate each other to get the others¡¯ Blessings of Blood Moon. When the last teammate was killed, the remaining blue player would get an additional quarter of Blessing of Blood Moon.


    And when there was one player left in the blue camp, there would be a formal combat round with the red camp player.


    The winner of that won the game.


    Fu Zhou, in front of Qi Qing, outright told Lin Xinghe, ¡°So it is Qi Qing who has the advantage, the more Blessing of Blood Moon you have, the greater your power. At the beginning of the game, we blue campers not only have to fight within our camp, but we also have to hide from the red camp. If he takes one of us out, we lose that quarter of the full moon power, so it¡¯s almost impossible to win the final PK.¡±


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe said to Qi Qing, ¡°Qi Qing, you are a student of the villain school, you have not forgotten, right?¡±


    Qi Qing¡¯s eyes swept over her.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange? Every examination room that Principal Wang created is based on a novel setting. Although we don¡¯t understand the whole process, there is no exam room without a novel.¡±


    Qi Qing finally spoke his first words, ¡°What do you want to say?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°We students, in terms of an examination room, aren¡¯t participants of the world. With this almost infinite stream of exams derived from novels, whether it¡¯s a large or small exam, it will always have a protagonist or supporting characters that make up the plot¡­¡±


    She pointed to the two camps.


    ¡°Five people in the blue camp, one person in the red camp, a total of six people, there must be at least six NPCs in this novel ¡­¡­¡± Lin Xinghe directly raised his chin and pointed to the three NPCs in the blue camp and said, ¡°There are three native NPCs here, so where did the others go? Principal Wang can arrange the time and place of our landing, so naturally, he can also arrange the time and place of the NPCs¡¯ landing. It¡¯s a quiet empty city, only this one building has bright lights ¡­¡­¡±


    She laughed, ¡°You and Fu Zhou took spots in the game that NPCs were supposed to open. There¡¯s one more spot left, so naturally, I won¡¯t be foolish enough to go in. This was supposed to be a game between NPCs ¡­¡­¡±


    There were footsteps coming from not far away.


    The time on the building went from ten seconds to a nine-second countdown.


    Nine seconds.


    Eight seconds.


    Seven seconds.


    A boy wearing a cap sprinted into the blue camp.


    The countdown stopped at six seconds.


    At the same time, the blood moon inside the building slowly rose to its highest point and mitosis into two halves with the same colors as the clearing, blue on the left and red on the right.


    The left side had five sections of blue crystals.


    On the right, there was a long line of red crystal.


    The mechanical voice sounded again ¨C


    ¡°Welcome to No Man¡¯s Land, the game has officially begun.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled at Qi Qing, ¡°See, I told you, you and Fu Zhou both fell for Principal Wang¡¯s trick. This was supposed to be a game for NPCs, but you were both swindled into the game now, and you have to duke it out.¡±


    ¡¾Fuck! SL is so smart!¡¿


    ¡¾If it were me, I¡¯d probably just foolishly go into the blue camp!¡¿


    ¡¾Principal Wang tried to trick SL and failed again hahahahahaha.¡¿


    ¡¾But Fu Zhou and Qi Qing still have to lose one! It¡¯s also an internal struggle!¡¿


    ¡¾The fact is that there are two ways to do it.¡¿


    ¡¾Also, with SL, there must be an unexpected way.¡¿


    ¡¾Every time I see SL, I feel somehow at peace!¡¿


    ¡¾+1¡¿


    The audience thought this, and so did Fu Zhou.


    As soon as the game officially started, Fu Zhou was able to leave the blue camp, and before he even thought about it, he took three steps to Lin Xinghe¡¯s side. The four remaining NPCs in the blue camp ran in different directions.


    Lin Xinghe and Qi Qing¡¯s conversation was not hidden from several NPCs.


    Several NPCs listened to all of them, and in their hearts, they all wondered what nonsense they were talking about. Before they could figure it out, the last player came.


    Although they did not understand why there were other players, the game had begun.


    They were going to start killing each other.


    Everyone here was their enemy.


    In the beginning, they had no equipment. Naturally, they would search the empty city for some tools of defense, not to mention the red camp boss was still there. Who would want to stay with the boss?

 CH 169

    Lin Xinghe and Fu Zhou stayed behind. Qi Qing was also frozen in place.


    He seemed to be thinking about Lin Xinghe¡¯s words.


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile, ¡°What are you going to do?¡±


    Qi Qing suddenly said, ¡°You are a bit like a person I know.¡±


    Fu Zhou¡¯s heart was pleased, thinking that Qi Qing had remembered. He asked, ¡°Your memory has come back?¡±


    Qi Qing did not look at Fu Zhou. Instead, he looked straight at Lin Xinghe, as if trying to remember something through her. Soon, he said coldly, ¡°Whether I was tricked or not, II am bound to win this examination.¡±


    Qi Qing finally looked to Fu Zhou, and his eyes already had a hint of killing intent in them.


    He didn¡¯t want to use the first skill on Fu Zhou, so he thought about sniping the other players and dueling Fu Zhou in the final round.


    Qi Qing leapt on tiptoe. In the blink of an eye, he scaled up to the high building. Fu Zhou lamented: ¡°Every time this happens, I am particularly envious of students of the ancient department. Fantasy and xianxia students¡¯ skills can be banned, and in such, a team of ten may not be able to beat a master of martial arts, not to mention Qi Qing has the full Blessing of Blood Moon¡­


    Fu Zhou asked Lin Xinghe: ¡°What next?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Go shopping.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°????¡±


    Although Fu Zhou didn¡¯t understand why he was going shopping, he didn¡¯t ask. He had already gotten used to following Lin Xinghe¡¯s command, so when Lin Xinghe said she was going shopping, he immediately followed. At the same time, he also did some internal calculations. After all, in the previous examination room, either Jiuge or Xie Wuan was also there, or both. His personal skills were relying on talisman seals to form a boundary for defense, but now that his skills were banned and Leiting was gone, he was now just a physical body who might actually drag Lin Xinghe down.


    He was willing to be carried, but not to drag others down.


    So, Fu Zhou was very active in his participation.


    ¡°Want to enter this store? No problem! You don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll do it!¡±


    Fu Zhou swung the traffic cone from the side of the road and smashed the glass of the store window.


    This abandoned city was interesting: all kinds of facilities were very well developed, and there were all kinds of stores. From the setting and scale, the city was likely a metropolis.


    Lin Xinghe had picked a store of electronic products.


    As soon as the door opened, Lin Xinghe went in and picked a phone.


    As she picked, she said to Fu Zhou, ¡°The villain school¡¯s phones have no signal here, but I see there are SIM cards for sale next door. You go find some, get as many as you can and put them into your pockets.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°The NPCs in this examination room ¡­¡­¡± He gave a beat and said, ¡°Six NPCs, three villain school students, so only nine people.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°They might always come in handy.¡±


    Fu Zhou thought about it and went straight to the store next door to raid all the SIM cards.


    When he came back, he found that Lin Xinghe was not in the store.


    The store was on the first floor of the mall.


    Fu Zhou was about to go into the mall to take a look, but Lin Xinghe had already left the mall, bearing a backpack, a satchel, and a twenty-four-inch suitcase.


    Lin Xinghe handed over the suitcase.


    Fu Zhou naturally took over and pulled, but found quite it heavy. He asked: ¡°What did you put in here?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°I put all the cell phones in here and some miscellaneous things ¡­¡­¡± She lifted out a kitchen knife and handed it to Fu Zhou, ¡°I also brought you a kitchen knife, similar to the swords you xianxia cultivators use¡­¡±


    She patted her backpack and smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the Blood Moon building.¡±


    Fu Zhou only really used the talismans and seals without the sword work because in skill-banned exams, he brought Leiting. Obviously, Leiting had been somehow confiscated by Principal Wang. He looked at Lin Xinghe¡¯s good intentions and followed behind her.


    Reentering the front of the Blood Moon building, Lin Xinghe let Fu Zhou open the suitcase.


    One side of the luggage was a cell phone, and the other side was a huge curtain.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Hang this curtain on this building, and find a way to attach it so it won¡¯t be blown away by the wind. This is the most conspicuous landmark in this city ¡­¡­¡±


    Fu Zhou carried the curtain and ran up the building.


    Lin Xinghe also did not stay idle and went to the building opposite the Blood Moon building.


    Fu Zhou fixed the curtain.


    The thick curtain completely blocked the light of the Blood Moon on the Red and Blue camps both. Fu Zhou looked at the corner of the curtain when he was done, and there was the XX Studios logo on it.


    Fu Zhou was never able to guess Lin Xinghe¡¯s next step, nor did he know what she was doing by getting a curtain from a movie theater.


    But when he got off the Blood Moon building and stood in front of it, there was already an image on the curtain.


    The picture was somewhat blurry but still legible.


    Fu Zhou saw a familiar three-meter dog head with countless microphones pointed at the dog head. A dense crowd of people stood in the clearing.


    They all tilted their necks and looked at the dog head.


    The Dog head let out a voice that Fu Zhou was familiar with.


    ¡°What should I call you guys? You¡¯re not really people, so I¡¯ll call you NPCs. NPCs, welcome to the cruel and unforgiving truth¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ I know you must be thinking at this moment, the man behind the curtain created the world, created us, as NPCs, how we can fight such a capable big boss?¡±


    ¡°¡­ I can tell you for sure, we can! We have long since discovered the rules of creation of the man behind the curtain. We abide by his rules, and he must also abide by the rules of his system. He can cleanse our memories over and over again, but he cannot directly erase us.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ Friends! The real world outside welcomes you!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ Let¡¯s band together to fight for freedom!¡±


    Next, the curtain went black and the huge title appeared in the center of the curtain ¨C


    ¡°Awaken, NPCs!


    Lin Xinghe walked down from the other building at this time, looked up at the content played on the curtain, nodded in satisfaction, and said, ¡°My disciple Ling Xiran is really good, this was very well directed ¡­¡­¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°Ling Xiran? The NPC on the cruise?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°In the last small examination room, I met Jiuge and Ling Xiran¡­¡± She continued her summary of the previous exam.


    When all was said and done, the projection curtain was playing at two times the speed plus subtitles of the introduction. It thoroughly played out the relationship between the NPCs, the novel worlds, and the boss behind the scenes, Principal Wang.


    Even Fu Zhou, half-knowledgeable about the situation, was astonished. He did not expect the villain school to be such an operational process.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡¯m already tired of the exam. The prompts are from Principal Wang, but now, solving them or not is up to us.¡±

 CH 170

    When Fu Zhou heard this, he immediately got energized and said, ¡°We destroy the examination hall? Destroy the city? There are bombs at the bottom, right?¡± Fu Zhou paused, ¡°No, if the bomb explodes, we won¡¯t live. This examination room bans the ability to call clouds and rain¡­¡±


    Fu Zhou looked at Lin Xinghe, ¡°Do you have any good way to destroy this city?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°When did I say I want to destroy this city?¡±


    She laughed, ¡°Your thought process is off.¡±


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe looked at the time and said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time, our teammates should be arriving soon.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°What teammates?¡±


    The first person that came to Fu Zhou¡¯s mind was Xie Wuan.


    Although he hadn¡¯t seen Xie Wuan in this examination room, Xie Wuan, like Lin Xinghe, had strength that could not be underestimated. Who knew how the two of them could turn the clouds over and darken the sky in this examination room?


    In the past, when Xie Wuan was a rival, Fu Zhou felt headaches come on when he heard the other¡¯s name, but now it was different. Where Xie Wuan was was safety and peace. He could not wait for Xie Wuan to arrive, and he asked expectantly, ¡°Is it Xie Wuan?¡±


    But Lin Xinghe sighed, ¡°No, but I wish he were here.¡±


    This made Fu Zhou detect a hint of something unusual. He recalled the interesting atmosphere between the two in the previous examinations and asked, ¡°Are you two together?¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at him and said, ¡°No.¡±


    Just when the audience was let down, she turned the tables, arched her eyebrows, and said, ¡°When everything is over, we should be together.¡±


    The audience¡¯s mood did a complete 180.


    The cold CP shippers could only cry to themselves.


    ¡¾Did you hear that!!! SL said! ¡°When everything is over, we should be together¡±!!!!!¡¿


    ¡¾Students! Work hard! Down with Principal Wang! Then go and drink Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe¡¯s wedding wine!¡¿


    Fu Zhou naturally could not see the pop-ups in chat, but once he heard Lin Xinghe say this, he could not help but feel that Lin Xinghe was always thinking of ways to defeat Principal Wang and end it all.


    The CP group of Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan was already popular in the school before the competitive examination, and if the CP fans could hear Lin Xinghe say this, they would definitely have gained the motivation to defeat Principal Wang.


    The power of the masses was powerful, and the power of ships was not to be underestimated.


    It was also at this time that Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes slightly changed, and she said, ¡°Here they come.¡±


    Fu Zhou followed Lin Xinghe¡¯s line of sight and looked.


    He nearly froze.


    Not far away, a hundred ghosts marched in the night.


    Fu Zhou had never seen a big scene. It was almost like 100 students rushing to the cafeteria at lunch time or 100 fresh graduates looking for jobs in the job market.


    A hundred ghosts stopped in front of the Blood Moon building.


    They all looked at Lin Xinghe, raising their hands and feet, raising their heads if they didn¡¯t have hands and feet, and raising their hearts, lungs, spleens and kidneys if they lacked heads and limbs, each shouting ¨C


    ¡°I want to join!¡±


    ¡°I want to be free!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be an NPC!¡±


    ¡°I want to be a real person!¡±


    ¡°Give me a chance!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe gazed at them and said in a warm voice: ¡°It seems that all of you are smart people, and you all understand your current situation, right? You are all amazing to have awakened in this timeframe. Let me ask, which of you have already remembered your past experiences as NPCs? Those NPCs who have already remembered the past, stand here.¡±


    Immediately, dozens of ghosts stepped forward.


    The remaining ones looked at each other. Some seemed to hesitate.


    Lin Xinghe asked again, ¡°Are there people who just came with the others? If so, stand over there. Don¡¯t be afraid, I will help you awaken.¡±


    As the words fell, a few dozen more ghosts stood out one after another.


    The remaining ten or so ghosts stood in the same place.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Are you all here to see the fun?¡±


    Before the ghosts could answer, Lin Xinghe added, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re watching, you¡¯re here, keep watching, and maybe you¡¯ll awaken in the process.¡±


    Lin Xinghe first went to console the ghosts who had already awakened initially.


    She asked, ¡°Have you ever met me in any fictional world before? Or have you heard of me?¡±


    There were really ghosts who had encountered Lin Xinghe.


    ¡°I ¡­¡­ remember you, you are the fire maiden.¡±


    ¡°I remember you too! You are Sea King Barbaros!¡±


    ¡°You are the Galaxy Robot!¡±


    ¡°I remember! I remember! Boss Lin, it¡¯s me! I used to be called Xiao Wei! And a ghost too! Thanks to you, I was able to recognize myself in that world! And I¡¯ve made a fortune since then!¡±


    ¡°I remember you too! You¡¯re the Queen of Zombies!¡±


    ¡°I remember you too! You and Xie Wuan started a tsunami!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    As soon as these words came out, the ghosts couldn¡¯t stop talking like it was some long-lost family reunion.


    ¡°Your way of speaking is a bit familiar, did I meet you in some novel world?¡±


    ¡°Dad?¡±


    ¡°Son! Dad was sad for ten years when you died from cancer! No wonder I felt a strange affinity for you the first time I saw you!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve had your day! You were so righteous when you cheated on me! No wonder you have green hair now, it¡¯s karma.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. I couldn¡¯t control my body or my thoughts, only going by the plot and the persona. Oh, my dearest beloved! I swear to God, if I could have awakened at that time, I would have cheated on myself before cheating on you!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°How did they awaken so easily?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°The system right now is unable to load too many NPCs. I made all the NPCs awaken in the last examination, so this system is naturally more fragile than the last. With just a little guidance, the NPCs will easily self-awaken. The remaining ones, under the influence of others, are also very easy to awaken. The more awakened NPCs, the faster the system will collapse ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe shouted, ¡°Everyone, quiet down!¡±


    Soon, the hundred ghosts quieted down and looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Next, please listen to me to explain one thing, those who want to free will have to listen to my command. In addition to you, there are many NPCs like you out there who are fighting for freedom! When you leave this world, you have to find a way to keep your memories and then come and meet us.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ Now, the first priority is to solve this exam. I will assign different tasks to everyone. Everyone, go to Fu Zhou first to get a phone.¡±


    Lin Xinghe told Fu Zhou, ¡°Insert the SIM cards. I tested the signal, and the bill will just be charged to the company.¡±


    Fu Zhou resigned himself to being a tool for handing out cell phones.


    When the cell phone distribution was completed, Lin Xinghe pulled all the ghosts into the same group chat.


    At that moment, one ghost said, ¡°We are deeply bound by the power of the blood moon, and when the player from the red camp unleashes his ghost control skill, we are forced to help hiim. When the boss doesn¡¯t use his ghost control skill, we can move freely, but we can¡¯t attack any players.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, we have strength in numbers. This game¡¯s rules are too basic. We must change the rules of the game.¡±

 CH 171

    ¡°What are the rules of the game?¡± Fu Zhou asked.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s gaze fell on the crowd of ghosts in front of her. She cleared her throat and said, ¡°Everyone be quiet, I¡¯m going to delegate tasks.¡±


    As soon as she spoke, all the ghosts in front of the Blood Moon building quieted down.


    ¡°Qi Qing can control some of you ghosts, but his skill has a one-hour cooldown. Although he may be difficult to deal with, we can use some of our numbers to deal with him. For the remaining ones, as much as possible, try to bring the other players to me¡­¡­¡±


    The ghosts on the side said hesitantly, ¡°Qi Qing can control us ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, he can control you, but can he kill you?¡±


    Ghost: ¡°¡­¡­ He can¡¯t.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Then isn¡¯t that right? He can¡¯t kill you, and also can¡¯t control you all at once. He must want to build up strength for the final confrontation with the blue camp¡¯s winner. If he shows his trump card at the beginning, what can he do later? The rest of you ghosts are going to grind him down. There is strength in numbers. It¡¯s best to grind out all his ghost control skills once an hour.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes circled around the hundred ghosts and asked, ¡°Is there anyone who has been a leader before, who can command and knows every ghost around?¡±


    A female ghost in the awakened camp floated out, ¡°I was a battle commander once in a previous novel world.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked her, ¡°Do you know all the ghosts around you?¡±


    The female ghost gently nodded her head.


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you, you divide them into groups and start the mission ¡­¡­¡± She looked at the time and said, ¡°Bring back all the players who are alive in No Man¡¯s Land as soon as possible. As for those who have not awakened and are not willing to go do the mission, they can stay here.¡±


    The female ghost responded.


    She floated back and quickly divided the team of one hundred ghosts into eight groups. She assigned eight ghosts to deal with the native NPCs, thirty to deal with Qi Qing, and the remaining being native ghost NPCs who had not awakened and were still somewhat blindsided. There was also an awakened ghost NPC who wanted to stay behind and preach a powerful sermon about awakening.


    When the ghosts left to go on their mission, the one NPC who was teaching the others how to awaken pulled out a loudspeaker in front of the Blood Moon building.


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help but lament to Fu Zhou, ¡°NPCs are really talented nowadays ¡­¡­¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°Those are still your teachings.¡±


    The audience shook with laughter


    ¡¾Fu Zhou¡¯s face was full of: with SL, what big scene I have not seen.¡¿


    ¡¾Hahahahahahahahahaha.¡¿


    At this moment, on the other side of the empty city.


    The NPC players had already picked up weapons and were trying to convince the two NPCs who didn¡¯t join the game to join their sides.


    In this kind of PVP, one more helper is one more person and one more hope to win.


    They noticed the Blood Moon Building broadcast going on, but it was too far away to see or hear anything clearly. They only knew that Lin Xinghe, that madman, was so bold as to block the Blood Moon Building¡¯s logo with a curtain.


    The NPC who got the helper was called Lan Tai, the young boy who rushed into the blue camp at the last minute.


    After he understood the situation clearly, he was the first to start persuading outsiders to help. He did not want to waste time. Under such rules, the first thing to do was to kill the other players as soon as possible to obtain the Blessing of Blood Moon from them, lest the player from the red camp kill the players from the blue camp and get the blessing instead.


    The fewer quarters of the blessing, the smaller their chance of winning.


    So, Lan Tai made his decision on the spot. He aimed at the weakest player in the field and killed her first to get her blessing so that the player from the red camp would not kill her first.


    Lan Tai naturally also saw the curtain on the Blood Moon building.


    Only, it was so far away that he didn¡¯t know what was playing on it.


    Right now in this situation, there was no way he would distract himself by going to investigate something irrelevant. The important rules of the game were already being transmitted into his mind through the crystal, plainly and clearly.


    Now there was only one thing to do ¨C kill. The only worry he spared was for the situation if the red player targeted him and used the ghost control skill on him, which he had no way to counter. After all, he was not an exorcist.


    But the rules were such that the game could not be too biased to either side, or the red and blue camp would have no meaningful existence.


    What he never expected, however, was that as he and his helper were preparing to kill the players one after the other, a group of ghosts of all shapes and sizes appeared from nowhere, and one of them shouted, ¡°Hey! People! Look! Three!¡±


    It seemed somewhat excited.


    Lan Tai was slightly stunned, thinking he was unlucky enough that the player from the red camp had chosen to use his ghost control skill on him, and was about to tell his helpers to tackle the player and make the ghosts leave him alone, when he found a vast group of ghost soldiers in three directions, surrounding him, his helpers, and another player.


    He was crowded with ghosts all around him.


    He didn¡¯t even have time to count how many ghosts there were, because these ghosts never stopped once their mouths opened, each one talking over the others.


    ¡°We¡¯re done with this, right?¡±


    ¡°No, we still have to bring the people back.¡±


    ¡°Hey, come with us!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up!¡±


    ¡°We have to be the first team to go back! Can¡¯t lose!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ Is there any benefit to being first?¡±


    ¡°There weren¡¯t any explicit benefits, but we are the first to bring people back, which makes us look like we have the ability. Who knows what the outside world is like, but it¡¯s good to have the ability to make the big bosses look the other way.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re good, so we can get a good position in the outside organization.¡±


    ¡­¡­


    Lan Tai listened with a bewildered face.


    What organization? What big boss? What mission?


    Were there other rules of the game?


    At that moment, he heard his helper shout ¡°help¡±, and then the voice gradually faded away. The player he was about to kill with his helper was also shouting.


    The ghosts around him started pushing and shouting, forcing him to move forward.


    When he was forced to reenter the Blood Moon building, he found all the players gathered together, including the one from the red camp, and many ghosts surrounding each player, especially the one from the red camp, who would have been smothered by ghosts if he weren¡¯t so tall.


    Previously, the Blood Moon building was tensely stark, but now it was bustling with activity like a food market.


    Lan Tai was shocked: ????

 CH 172.1

    Qi Qing¡¯s ghost control skill, which had a cooldown of one hour, had not been used yet.


    Although the game rules explicitly stated the name of the ghost control skill, there were no instructions on its usage. He himself did not know how to use it, but he also did not want to waste the one-hour cooldown skill, which was originally intended to be used on the weakest NPCs.


    He watched from the shadows.


    As Qi Qing was the only player in the red camp, the crudest and simplest idea was to get rid of the weakest player so that the blue camp could not get a stronger Blessing of Blood Moon than him. That way, even if the victor in the blue camp killed all the other players, their Blessing of Blood Moon would only be tied with his.


    Even though Qi Qing had lost his memories, the first time he saw Lin Xinghe, he knew that she was the most difficult boss to beat in this game, even though she had not participated in name.


    She and Fu Zhou were clearly on the same side.


    So Qi Qing¡¯s intention was to get rid of more than two NPCs so that the blue camp could not combine their Blessings of Blood Moon. Without that power, his opponents couldn¡¯t win against him no matter how much intelligence and scheming vigilance they had.


    Qi Qing thought as such, but he did not expect Lin Xinghe to do such a thing.


    Stuck in the ghost swarm, he was forced to sacrifice his first use of his ghost control skill. Because he hadn¡¯t built up his skill, he could only control five ghosts. In terms of numbers, he was at a complete disadvantage, and the ghost control skill was temporary. Once the twenty minutes had passed, the five ghosts under his control were once again out of his control.


    The ghosts couldn¡¯t hurt him, let alone use force on him, but seeing all the NPCs and ghosts flocking to the Blood Moon building, he saw no point in hanging out alone, so he followed them over to see what was going on. At this time, he saw the scenes on the curtain playing.


    Qi Qing was in deep thought.


    Lin Xinghe cleared her throat and said: ¡°Looks like everyone is here, now let¡¯s watch the film ¡­¡­¡± While the ghosts were working, Lin Xinghe asked Fu Zhou to go around the stores to find bigger and better speakers, so that the film¡¯s audio sounded out clearer.


    After watching it, Lan Tai looked at Lin Xinghe a little differently, thinking that Lin Xinghe was a salesman, a complete fraud.


    Everything that happened in his past was so real, how could the world he was in be fictional?


    He was a living human being, he could not be one of the so-called NPCs Lin Xinghe spoke of ¨C his life was his own, not something anyone can fabricate.


    But the ghosts around him were like cultists, convinced of what Lin Xinghe said. Even the blue camp players who just now seemed quite puzzled were suffused with a nearly insane look, shouting, ¡°I want to be free!¡±


    The helpers he had convinced earlier were also shouting, ¡°I want my real life back!¡±


    Fu Zhou said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°It seems not everyone will awaken that easily, look at the one on the far right wearing the cap, he obviously has not awakened.¡±


    Lin Xinghe followed his line of sight and said, unconcerned, ¡°That¡¯s normal, and sooner or later they will awaken. It¡¯s just a matter of time. The more people that awaken, the easier the system will collapse, and the moment the system completely collapses, the remaining people who have not awakened will also awaken together ¡­¡­¡±


    She whispered to Fu Zhou, ¡°I¡¯m actually using this little short film to test the current condition of the system,¡± she said with a faint smile, ¡°I¡¯m rushing to end this exam. When the system completely can not withstand the number of awakenings, I will finish climbing the tower¡­¡±


    She said, ¡°Principal Wang hid Xiao Xue Ji and didn¡¯t let me see Xie Wuan, so I guess they are there.¡±


    Before her words fell, the whole earth suddenly shook violently. Less than three seconds later, the earth returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.


    Everyone looked at each other, and they finally all looked at Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe calmly said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s because everyone is awakening too fast and there are too many of them, and it¡¯s starting to affect the system¡¯s operation. For a few brief seconds just now, if I¡¯m not wrong, it should be that the system started to be unable to process our awakening, so much so that there was a glitch.¡± She added loudly, ¡°Today¡¯s achievement is the result of everyone¡¯s efforts! Friends! We are one step closer to freedom! Let¡¯s keep up the good work, and one day we will be able to touch true freedom. That day is not far away!¡±


    The people and ghosts at the bottom were all cheering to the heavens.


    Fu Zhou was also a little excited and asked, ¡°Is the system really malfunctioning?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°Huh?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I should say I¡¯m not sure if the system is malfunctioning, but in a situation like this right now, isn¡¯t it more important to give everyone faith? Even if it¡¯s not a real glitch, it will be a real glitch in the future.¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°¡­¡­ You can really make the best use of things.¡±

 CH 172.2

    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Actually, I have another guess.¡±


    She stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, with a hint of apparent tenderness in her smile, ¡°It was Xie Wuan who did that. I calculated the time, and with his character and style of action, it¡¯s about time. He certainly would not be foolish enough to be trapped in the examination hall by Principal Wang, and I think he must have caused a lot of trouble for Principal Wang ¡­¡­¡±


    As soon as she mentioned Xie Wuan, the tenderness in her eyes grew even more.


    Having journeyed together before, she had gotten used to Xie Wuan¡¯s company.


    Now that he was not around anymore, the emptiness in her heart instantly showed how different he was.


    Only ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe still did not understand something.


    It was reasonable to say that they had known each other for a long time. Why couldn¡¯t she remember the first time they met?


    With an individual as remarkable as Xie Wuan, even if she experienced countless fictional worlds, how could Lin Xinghe not recall him? Even if her brain capacity was limited, as long as she really met Xie Wuan, it was impossible not to remember him.


    Lin Xinghe put it out of her mind.


    She believed that once she got rid of Principal Wang, all her doubts and mysteries would be solved one by one.


    She raised her hands high and signaled for everyone to be quiet.


    She said, ¡°Principal Wang created this examination room for three candidates from our school. He took away the memories of one of my companions to make us kill each other, but even this has failed.¡±


    She added, ¡°The rules of this examination are very simple. If either the red or blue side wins, the exam is over. None of the players in the red and blue camps need to worry, I won¡¯t let any of you sacrifice yourselves for the big picture.¡±


    Lan Tai was still suspicious of Lin Xinghe¡¯s ulterior motives. Hearing that she was not trying to coax them to sacrifice themselves to fulfill her big picture, he was starting to listen and believe more.


    ¡­¡­She was not a participant and didn¡¯t want any of their lives. Plus, she spoke with such authority, who wouldn¡¯t want to believe her?


    At this time, the film on the curtain of the Blood Moon building disappeared.


    In its place were the rules of the game.


    This was the same time when the ghosts went to interfere with the players, Lin Xinghe made an at-a-glance PPT from Fu Zhou¡¯s narrative one by one and projected it on the curtain.


    ¡°¡­¡­ If the blue camp players are killed, the blue crystals on their chests will be collected by the killer as his own. Other players can only kill the killer if they want to snatch it.¡±


    Under this line of text, Lin Xinghe drew a double underline.


    As if she was doing reading comprehension, she said, ¡°Being killed represents the disappearance of vital signs, and the moment it disappears, the blue crystal stone, or the Blessing of Blood Moon, will only go to the hands of the killer. I believe that many of you who have already awakened have experienced non-realistic fictional worlds, such as fantasy worlds, magic martial arts worlds, xianxia worlds overflowing with spirits, or high-tech science fiction future worlds. In these worlds, it is not difficult to make a person¡¯s vital signs disappear for a short time.¡±


    She laughed, ¡°Of course, cunning as Principal Wang is, he sealed off all the xianxia and fantasy skills of this examination room, leaving us in a plain modern examination room where we can¡¯t use magic, immortal arts, or technology of the future in a short period of time, but we can use medicine¡­¡±


    She added: ¡°I am not a professional in this area, but I believe that, with everyone present having experienced so many worlds, it is impossible that there are no doctors or poison-making talents among us. Principal Wang has generously provided us with free resources, so you can use them to your heart¡¯s content. As long as we create a drug that makes people lose their vital signs briefly and makes the system think that an NPC is dead, we will be able to win this exam without any effort and without any casualties.¡±


    There were more than a hundred NPCs in this examination room, and those that Principal Wang could use in the final examination room had to be experienced NPCs who had experienced multiple examinations and whom he considers to have a low likelihood of awakening. Just like how the fictional worlds she had experienced were countless, according to the minimum number of calculations, one NPC must have experienced ten examinations on average. Therefore, there were at least a thousand NPCs here with unique experiences.


    In the world of fiction, especially the world of martial arts, someone always had to fill the ubiquitous poison master role, not to mention that it was even less likely for a modern fiction world not to have doctors. Even putting aside the main character, which person would not get sick? Sick people were bound to seek doctors, not to mention that some bloodthirsty novels had excessive exaltations of doctors¡¯ professional abilities to create interesting plots, so that those doctors could do anything the authors¡¯ minds came up with.


    There were more than a thousand NPCs here, so there had to be such a talent.

 CH 173.1

    As it turned out, Lin Xinghe wasn¡¯t wrong.


    The uninhabited city was chock full of resources, Principal Wang¡¯s intention likely being to provide all players with various tools to kill.


    However, when the entire city wasn¡¯t trying to kill each other, the city¡¯s goods, especially medical resources, became valuable bounty.


    The NPCs were full of doctors, poison masters, and even great scientists from the interstellar era who, with all the materials they came up with, concocted a fake death potion in less than half a day.


    After taking the potion, one¡¯s vital signs disappeared. Ten minutes later, they recovered on their own.


    The drug wasn¡¯t tested, so the next problem was who to take it.


    But this was not a problem.


    Fu Zhou was happy to be the first guinea pig.


    He said before drinking the potion, ¡°I was worried about my IQ for a while, about how I fell for Principal Wang¡¯s trick. I didn¡¯t think Principal Wang needed to comply with the rules of the novel system. Now it seems that the underworld has its own fate, which is to let me come to you as a white lab rat¡­¡­¡±


    Fu Zhou downed it in one gulp, and then grinned and said, ¡°I believe in your judgment, but the world is unpredictable. Just in case, if something really were to happen, my Leiting would have no master. In my absence, I would trouble you to please take care of him.¡± His grip on the tube loosened.


    When the test tube fell to the ground, Fu Zhou also fell down silently.


    The closest person to Fu Zhou, Lan Tai, caught him.


    The medicine was handed to Fu Zhou by Lan Tai. After Fu Zhou¡¯s heart stopped beating and his vital signs completely disappeared, the blue crystal under his neck disappeared and appeared on Lan Tai.


    The condition of the crystals in the Blood Moon building also changed, but because of the curtain covering it, the Blood Moon building, which should have been in the limelight, now was simply ignored.


    People and ghosts nervously stared at Fu Zhou lying flat on the ground.


    Only Qi Qing quietly scrutinized Lin Xinghe.


    Lin Xinghe naturally also noticed Qi Qing¡¯s eyes and looked up. Qi Qing immediately avoided her gaze. Now, he was acting somewhat like a Qi Qing who remembered things.


    She pondered slightly, and with a few steps, she walked up to Qi Qing¡¯s body and stared straight at him openly and honestly.


    In less than three seconds, Qi Qing surrendered.


    He asked, ¡°Something wrong?¡±


    Lin Xinghe, ¡°Do you want to remember?¡±


    Before Qi Qing could answer, Lin Xinghe added, ¡°Why are you peeking at me?¡±


    Qi Qing¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    Lin Xinghe laughed, ¡°Now that everyone is awakening and recovering memories that were cleansed by the system, there is no reason why you can¡¯t remember. Since you remembered, why didn¡¯t you come and talk to us?¡±


    Qi Qing¡¯s gaze was a bit complicated. He seemed to notice that he was too close to Lin Xinghe, took a step or two backward to avoid her gaze, and asked, ¡°Have you seen Xie Wuan?¡±


    Once Lin Xinghe heard that, she knew he had remembered and said, ¡°Not yet, he should be up there.¡±


    She pointed to the sky and told Qi Qing all about climbing the tower and Jiuge.


    She added, ¡°¡­¡­ I remember that you and Xie Wuan were not so familiar, I didn¡¯t expect that the first thing you asked after you recovered your memory was to ask if I had seen Xie Wuan?¡± She smiled and asked, ¡°Could it be that you knew Brother Xie before in some novel world?¡±


    Lin Xinghe felt that the possibility that Qi Qing had known Xie Wuan before was high. NPCs were often reused in novel worlds, and she had met Xie Wuan in several different worlds, not to mention others.


    She had heard Gu Taoyao say that Qi Qing and Xie Wuan entered the school at about the same time.


    Perhaps the two had crossed paths before.


    Solemly, Qi Qing opened his mouth and said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen you before.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned and asked, ¡°In which world did we cross paths?¡±


    Qi Qing said, ¡°You were the black dragon coiled on the high tower.¡±


    Lin Xinghe had experienced countless fictional worlds, yet she had no impression of a black dragon.


    ¡­¡­ She had actually been a black dragon?


    She asked, ¡°What are you?¡±


    Qi Qing: ¡°I was that tower.¡±

 CH 173.2

    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t remember it at all, and she racked her brain to recall it, but there was no semblance of relevant people or objects in her memory. She asked, ¡°How did you recognize me?¡±


    Qi Qing: ¡°It was Xie Wuan who recognized you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Xie Wuan was also there?¡±


    Qi Qing: ¡°Of course. You guys were fighting every day, and all you guys wanted was to make the other your own figurine puppet¡­¡­¡±


    The audience:


    ¡¾Oh wtf? Was there a prequel to my CP? I¡¯m crying!¡¿


    ¡¾Today is also the day to cry for absolute love.¡¿


    Lin Xinghe suddenly remembered the figurines she saw in Xie Wuan¡¯s space.


    Most of those figurines were the NPCs that she played in different worlds.


    ¡°¡­¡­ This illustrious one is true to his word, the bet between you and me, I have never forgotten.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­ I¡¯m waiting for you to come and make me into a figurine.¡±


    Lin Xinghe pursed her lips.


    She couldn¡¯t recall the fictional world Qi Qing was talking about, which, by definition, was impossible unless someone had deliberately sealed this memory.


    Jjust at this time, a cheer suddenly erupted from the ghost group.


    Fu Zhou, who was lying on the ground, had slowly awakened.


    ¡°The potion works! It works!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and get Lin Xinghe over here!¡±


    ¡°Whose turn is it next? Let¡¯s hurry up and pass this garbage exam and get out of this world! I don¡¯t want to be an evil ghost with no hands or feet anymore!¡±


    Lin Xinghe came at the sound of this voice.


    Fu Zhou had already stood up from the ground. The strength of the medicine had not yet passed, making his body a little weak.


    Lan Tai held him up.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Is everything all right?¡±


    Fu Zhou squeezed out a smile, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Qi Qing has also recovered his memory, now things are better.¡± In the next beat, she looked at Lan Tai, ¡°Will you be the second?¡±


    With Fu Zhou in front of him, Lan Tai did not have any conflicts of interest.


    Ten minutes later, the two blue crystals on Lan Tai¡¯s body were transferred to the second NPC.


    In less than half an hour, the last NPC player in the blue camp already possessed the full Blessing of Blood Moon.


    The mechanical voice that hadn¡¯t appeared for a long time said, ¡°The finisher stepped on the corpses of his companions to achieve a stage victory, let¡¯s congratulate ¡­¡­¡± The mechanical voice gave a beat, as if sensing that all the players within the blue camp were alive through and through. The voice grew faint, and the ground suddenly and violently quaked.


    At the same time, the mechanical voice became slow and sluggish, ¡°There¡¯s a bug! Warning! Warning!¡±


    The vibration of the ground became more and more violent.


    Sensing the uneasiness and panic of the crowd, Lin Xinghe shouted, ¡°Everyone, hold on, don¡¯t panic! We did it to make the system generate a bug! The next thing the system can do is only two things. Either fix the bug or just destroy the world. Either way, we have a chance to get out of here. Everyone must cherish the time after leaving here and seize the opportunity not to be cleansed of memories by the system again! Don¡¯t worry ¨C even if your memories are cleansed, we will come to your rescue! We are one with freedom!¡±


    Before the words fell, a blinding white light burst from the ground, enveloping all the buildings.


    Previously, the surrounding area was still full of people, but in an instant, it turned into silence, as if everything was surrounded by a vacuum.


    This was very similar to the last small test site.


    This kind of experience, Lin Xinghe had also had countless times.


    This time, she took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on her face.


    The sunglasses blocked out the blinding light, allowing her to look straight at the mysterious veil behind the white light.


    Largely because the system was on the verge of collapse, she could clearly see all the buildings and NPCs turn into a complex pile of data, floating in mid-air, flying at an even speed towards the top of the sky.


    At the top of the sky was a huge black hole.


    She made out the icy sheen of a metal corner that seemed like an incomparably large metal eye.


    When all the data was completely lost in the black hole, the city disappeared.


    In its place was a white corridor.


    She managed to leave the small examination room and arrived at the second-level corridor.

 CH 174.1

    There was no difference between the second room or the first room besides the presence of different teammates.


    Compared to Jiuge¡¯s weakness, Qi Qing and Fu Zhou both did not have any mental or physical damage.


    When they left the mini examination room, Qi Qing and Fu Zhou also saw the metal eye in the sky and glimpsed the system¡¯s true form for the first time.


    The audience also saw it clearly through Lin Xinghe¡¯s perspective.


    The true system was unknown territory, but at the same time, it was a place they had experienced and been forcibly made to forget. They had only had a vague impression of it after awakening, until now, when the system and data appeared in front of their eyes in a way that was visible to the naked eye. It was extremely shocking, to say the least.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s livestream, which usually had an active chat, was as quiet as if no one was watching.


    Every single viewer was silent.


    Qi Qing and Fu Zhou also felt the same way.


    Lin Xinghe had a lot to ask Qi Qing ¨C she wanted to know more about the novel world that she couldn¡¯t remember.


    ¡°In that world, what else happened?¡±


    ¡°Did Brother Xie and I have a bet?¡±


    ¡°What kind of role did I play in that world?¡±


    ¡­¡­


    But Qi Qing suddenly said, ¡°Then do you remember Xilin?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned.


    At this time, the white corridor again shook with the same violent vibration as the last small examination room. This occurrence was longer than the previous two as well as more violent. They almost collapsed before Fu Zhou pulled out a talisman and created a boundary to stabilize the three.


    Also at this time, the three people saw a corner of the wall occasionally flashing with electricity.


    Lin Xinghe had an idea and said to Qi Qing, ¡°Try using your sword.¡±


    Qi Qing understood. Sinking his qi into his dantian*, he pulled his greatsword from his palm and swung powerfully at the wall.


    *T/N Qi is the breath and power of martial arts, while the dantian is a medical section of the body important for martial artists and cultivators.


    The square corner instantly cracked.


    In the crack, there was an endless ocean of data.


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°Try slashing again?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Don¡¯t. If you can split the boundaries here, you might be able to do the same down there. The elevator doesn¡¯t go down, there is no digital display inside, and Jiuge is on the first floor. None of us know exactly how the system works; all we know is that it can cleanse our memories and control our consciousnesses. If we intrude into its interior without perms, I¡¯m afraid we will be forcibly rejected by it and start a defense program that we can¡¯t control.¡±


    Fu Zhou said, ¡°That makes sense.¡±


    Qi Qing didn¡¯t say anything. He seemed to ponder Lin Xinghe¡¯s words. After recovering his memory, he once again possessed his previous social anxiety and became silent. Only, the gaze with which he looked at Lin Xinghe was a little different.


    Lin Xinghe previously did not realize, but now carefully thought about how such a gaze gave her d¨¦j¨¤ vu. If set aside in the so-called modern society created by President Wang, it was almost like the frenzy of a celebrity fan.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°You first meet up with Jiuge on the first floor. Cell phones may not work, but Qi Qing might be able to split the floor.¡±


    Fu Zhou asked, ¡°What about you?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I¡¯ll go on to the next floor.¡±


    She added, ¡°I always feel that he is waiting for me ¡­¡­¡± As soon as the words came out, she suddenly laughed and changed her tone, ¡°No, he must be waiting for me. I¡¯m going to find him. We split into two parties, you guys get to Jiuge and then find a way to open the connection between the third and second levels to find me.¡±


    She then said to Qi Qing, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me about the past. They sealed that part of my memory, and I want to get it back myself.¡±


    Qi Qing had said a lot of important things in the last mini-exam, but to her ears it seemed like someone else¡¯s story. Then even if Qi Qing told her everything, she was merely listening to a story, not remembering what she had really experienced. Moreover, according to several hints from Qi Qing, she could roughly guess the direction of the story.


    As for Xilin¡­¡­


    She didn¡¯t remember her either.


    But Lin Xinghe knew that she was not far from the memories she wanted to recover.


    She finished her instructions, walked towards the elevator, and pressed the button to go upstairs.


    ¡­¡­ Jiuge, Fu Zhou, Qi Qing had appeared, and the next one could only be Xie Wuan.

 CH 174.2

    With the thought of seeing Xie Wuan soon, her heart leapt a few times, brimming with impatience. The blinding white light in front of her eyes became gentle, almost lovely, as she thought of their reunion.


    After the white light faded, Lin Xinghe observed the surrounding environment.


    Compared to the odd and dangerous environments of the first two mini-exams, it was unexpectedly calm.


    The surrounding area had countless rows of peach trees, bright blossoms filling the air with their scent for miles.


    Although she had seen much beautiful scenery before, Lin Xinghe could not help but marvel at the colors.


    Maintaining her vigilance, she only let herself be absorbed by the scenery for a moment before checking her belongings.  Principal Wang actually generously did not ban her phone, but the bracelet and interplanar mall were still inaccessible. Lin Xinghe tried to contact Xie Wuan, who didn¡¯t reply to her, and she didn¡¯t hear anything from Xie Wuan¡¯s heart.


    Peach blossoms were blooming all over the mountain.


    There was a stone staircase carved into the mountains, and Lin Xinghe was located halfway up.


    Because she could access her portable space, she took out her magic broom and efficiently flew straight to the top of the mountain.


    The mountain wasn¡¯t extremely tall, but its peak was high enough to overlook the scenery below.


    The road down the mountain was quite smooth, and after a small hilly area, Lin Xinghe made out a small town. There were no modern facilities on the mountain, and Lin Xinghe immediately ruled out the background of modern society. Now that she saw the town outside the mountain and a few figures flying with swords in the distant sky, she knew that this mini-exam was set in a xianxia world.


    Although she had never been to a xianxia exam, she had experienced xianxia novels before, so she was not unfamiliar with such a setting.


    She pondered slightly and rode her magic broomstick downward, setting off for the town in the distance.


    She hadn¡¯t seen anyone in the peach blossom forest, and besides, she didn¡¯t know if there were ghosts, demons, devils, and spirits that she definitely couldn¡¯t beat by herself. It was much more advantageous for her to purchase clothes and news to gather the plot.


    Lin Xinghe had just flown a short distance when she saw a snow-white figure scurry out of the peach blossom forest.


    Her figure gave a lurch and her broom stopped.


    The audience also froze.


    ¡¾Is that ¡­¡­ Xiao Xue Ji?¡¿


    ¡¾No way, it¡¯s just an ordinary ragdoll cat ¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾They look exactly the same, fur color, eye color, body size!¡¿


    ¡¾The boss of this small examination room is Xiao Xue Ji?¡¿


    ¡¾¡­¡­ This does look like something Principal Wang could do.¡¿


    Lin Xinghe quickly reacted, pulling her phone out and silently taking pictures.


    ¡­¡­ They were really identical.


    ¡­¡­ Her Xiao Xue Ji was born indistinguishable. Others may not know, but she did know that there was no ragdoll cat at all, it was just the same ragdoll cat as the interplanar mall model.


    Everyone watching her livestream was staring at the ragdoll cat in the peach blossom forest. They all believed that Xiao Xue Ji was a normal ragdoll cat that had eaten one of Xie Wuan¡¯s Jinwudan and could shapeshift at will. This cat was no different, shifting from white cat to white fox to white snow leopard.


    In just five minutes, it seamlessly transformed into more than a dozen animals, including demonic creatures that were only found in xianxia settings.


    Finally, it finally got tired of playing and changed back to the ragdoll cat, jumped on a peach tree, and broke off a branch with its jaws. Branch in mouth, it leapt up the stone steps.


    Lin Xinghe quietly followed.


    Near the top of the mountain, it suddenly left the stone steps and scampered onto a trail.


    Lin Xinghe was sure of one thing¡ªshe had just flown high in the sky looking out over the whole hill and hadn¡¯t noticed this trail at all. The trail had only suddenly appeared when the rRagdoll cat scurried up, and it seemed like it was protected by a barrier.


    Lin Xinghe stored the magic broom into her space and followed on foot.


    In the peach blossom forest, the scenery was still a bright spring. However, deep on the trail, there was no sunlight. The temperature dropped, the light was dim, and there was a wind, the branches¡¯ swaying shadows like those of ghosts.


    At the end of the path, there was an ancient well.


    The well was surrounded by five stone statues, each of which was smothered with thick chains and connected to the dry well in the middle.


    Above the well were layers of iron chains, plastered with various kinds of charms and talismans.


    The ragdoll cat skilfully jumped onto the ancient well, stepped on the iron chain, clawed apart the layers of iron chains, and dropped the blossoming peach tree branch into the well.

 CH 175.1

    Afterward, the ragdoll cat purred into the ancient well, with a soft tone like it was comforting someone.


    An echo resounded.


    Lin Xinghe originally thought a terribly vicious ancient beast would be locked inside the well. She did not expect the ancient well to issue a soft, gentle yowl.


    ¡°Meow.¡±


    ¡°Awoo.¡±


    ¡°Meow meow ¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Awoo, awoo, awoo, awoooo!¡±


    ¡­¡­


    This exchange lasted for nearly an hour before the ragdoll cat stretched and meowed several more times, receiving an awooooooo as a response before wagging its fluffy tail and leaving.


    Lin Xinghe waited a few more moments before she approached. Her heart was calm, and she even felt a slight sense of familiarity.


    She poked her head in and surveyed the depths of the well.


    From what she could see through the gaps in the chains, the well was dark.


    Lin Xinghe brought out the apocalypse exam¡¯s headlamp from her portable space. Once she turned it on, a strong and powerful light illuminated the entire interior of the ancient well.


    It was crawling with moss, and the bottom contained a pool of silent stagnant water, dark and deep. As light hit the pool¡¯s surface, it was immediately absorbed by the pool of stagnant water.


    It was hard to imagine that there was a soft, gentle beast hidden under the ancient well.


    Lin Xinghe looked around, then took out a bunch of pastries from her portable space and threw them one by one into the ancient well.


    The pastries did not make a sound as soon as they touched the water and disappeared in an instant.


    This pool of stagnant water was like a huge mouth.


    After each pastry was thrown, Lin Xinghe ¡°meowed¡±.


    However, there was no response from the ancient well.


    Lin Xinghe tried leaves, peach branches, stones, etc., but still no response.


    She brought out all the things she could throw from her portable space and even took out the gold bars from her storage ring. She was about to try them all when there was finally a sound from inside the ancient well ¨C


    ¡°Who goes there?¡±


    The voice was not angry, much less fierce, although not as soft as before. It sounded like a very bulliable voice.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the chains sealed around the well and said in a serious manner, ¡°I am your father.¡±


    There was silence for a second inside the ancient well, and the voice hesitantly said, ¡°Father, you¡¯ve been resurrected? Why did you take on a female body?¡±


    Lin Xinghe bellowed, ¡°Rebel son!¡±


    Inside the ancient well, ¡°Father, I was wrong.¡±


    The audience couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡¾Where did this gullible fellow come from hahahahahahahahaha.¡¿


    ¡¾This mini examination room is nothing like the previous one.¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, there¡¯s no half-assed killing game.¡¿


    ¡¾When I saw the ragdoll cat, I thought the boss of this small examination room was Xiao Xue Ji, but now it seems like she¡¯s not.¡¿


    ¡¾This examination room is very different from Principal Wang¡¯s previous style. Is Principal Wang giving up? The system has been used to randomize the examination room?¡¿


    ¡¾The system has been randomized.¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s not impossible hahahahahahahaha.¡¿


    From this, Lin Xinghe already knew she had struck upon the most naive, defenseless NPC that she could mine information from.


    ¡°How did you end up in such a situation? It¡¯s simply detrimental to the face of our clan.¡±


    ¡°Donghua Sect bullies the dragons too much, 800 years ago, as soon as they saw me, without saying a word, they sealed me here boohoohoohoohooooooo¡­¡­¡±


    ¡­¡­ Oh, it was a dragon, a crybaby dragon.


    Lin Xinghe continued to woolgather.


    The crybaby dragon didn¡¯t even need her to speak, she just sat by the ancient well and the crybaby dragon talked to her for half an hour straight.


    ¡­¡­ Crybaby Dragon was a dragon, but not a decent dragon. He was part of the dragons who weren¡¯t considered upper-class, and their clan was not recognized by the dragon circle. The East Sea Dragon King even wanted to classify them as a snake clan.


    After a long time, they were not recognized, and they angrily decided to¡­


    Come on, they didn¡¯t need to be recognized by the righteous, they wanted to demonize themselves and become the demon dragons of the demon world! They wanted to become an existence all three realms were afraid of!


    So, they fell onto the demon path, and coincidentally, the demon path suited them much more greatly. In just a few years, their cultivation had increased tremendously, and no matter where they flew to, all the demons had to avoid them and retreat.


    In the demon world where strength was paramount, they became the demons of the demons.


    Nine hundred years ago, the Demon Dragon clan attacked the Celestial Realm. Although the Demon Dragons lost, both sides suffered immense casualties. Since then, the Demon Realm and the Celestial Realm did not interfere with each other. The human world of cultivators thus developed rapidly. Over the years, a lot of shining stars emerged, such as the Nanhua Sect¡¯s head disciple Shen Nanhua, or the Xihua Sect¡¯s Hangwu Zhenren, or the Donghua Sect¡¯s China School¡¯s youngest son Feng Mo¡­


    Yes, these plot introduction words, under Lin Xinghe¡¯s guidance, Crybaby Dragon unreservedly said all.

 CH 175.2

    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Father, shouldn¡¯t you know this better than I do?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°I lost half of my genitals after resurrection, I don¡¯t remember most things, only you, the rebellious son.¡±


    However, by and large naturally optimistic, it began to tell Lin Xinghe again about the friends it had made over the years, including cats, wolves, foxes, snow leopards, and phoenixes, among others.


    Crybaby Dragon said, ¡°But my best friend is still Snowball, a white cat, who visits me every day.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought of the ragdoll cat transformation stunt she saw earlier, and couldn¡¯t help but be a bit concerned, it seemed that the animal friends Crybaby Dragon said should all be that one ragdoll cat, after all, this place was not a place where any animal could randomly come in. Crybaby Dragon¡¯s innate power kept them from coming close.


    The ragdoll cat named Snowball, or rather Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s doppelganger, probably had its own natural way of subverting this force.


    Apparently the crybaby dragon hadn¡¯t realized that his numerous friends were all the ragdoll cat yet.


    Crybaby Dragon continued, ¡°Father, don¡¯t be sad, I will help you remember what happened in the past, you are now reborn¡­ Let¡¯s not follow uncle afterwards to do more evil. Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. We have become demon dragons. Despite how we are admired by the demons, the humans revile us. Although they sealed me in this place, because I have not hurt the living, they did not take my life, only sealed me away ¡­¡­¡±


    It counted carefully and said, ¡°Eight hundred and twenty-three years, nine months and six days.¡±


    Lin Xinghe confirmed that this crybaby dragon was not only naive, but also somewhat simple.


    Qi Qing said he used to be a black dragon.


    If he were a dragon, he certainly would not lay miserable and sealed in this hellish place. He would definitely try to break this damn seal, why should he meaninglessly stay like a sitting duck? He had not done anything bad!


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Want to get out of here?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Father wants to take me away?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Or do you want to continue to be sealed?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Of course I don¡¯t want to! But ¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°But what?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s time for me to leave, for these 800 years, although I was sealed in the ancient well, I didn¡¯t forget to cultivate ¡­¡­ There is a voice in my consciousness telling me that one day, there will be a girl who will come to save me on the seven-colored auspicious clouds, and all I need to do is to be here to wait for that one girl.¡±


    Lin Xinghe mulled over such conditions. This sounded like the character of a heroine. Although Crybaby Dragon was a demon dragon, he was silly, innocent, and sweet. On top of his diligent cultivation these last 800 or so years, he would probably serve as the future heroine¡¯s mount.


    ¡­¡­ Tsk, the configuration of a standard romance xianxia novel.


    Crybaby Dragon added, ¡°I do not like the voice of the sea of knowledge.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was a little surprised, ¡°Why?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon said, ¡°Every time I tried to break through the seal, it would convince me not to bother and tell me to wait for the girl on the seven-colored auspicious clouds. When I saw you, I thought you were that girl. I didn¡¯t think you were my father, and you didn¡¯t have the seven-colored auspicious clouds.¡±


    Lin Xinghe did not expect that this crybaby dragon would be quite this powerful. He was already in a semi-awakened state, and the voice in the sea of knowledge must be the systems¡¯ telling it to follow the plot.


    Lin Xinghe just loved to go against the original plot.


    This silly, innocent, sweet crybaby dragon, she wanted to break him free.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Am I your father?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Yes!¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Is the voice in the sea of knowledge more important or is your father more important?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Father is important!¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Then who do you say you want to listen to?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Father!¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°This child can be taught!¡±


    She took a look at the chains around her. According to the Crybaby Dragon, it could break the seal, but Principal Wang¡¯s system had been blocking it.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Rebellious son, lift the seal!¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Father, why do you always call me rebellious son?¡±


    ¡­because I don¡¯t know what your name is.


    Naturally, she could not say this to Crybaby Dragon.


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°How did father used to call you?¡±


    Crybaby Dragon: ¡°Shitian*.¡±


    *This name literally means kill the sky and represents the demon dragon clan¡¯s wish to conquer the Celestial (Sky) Realm.


    Lin Xinghe had always thought that Crybaby Dragon was a female dragon. But this name was so masculine, and the demon dragon clan¡¯s enmity with the Celestial Realm was tangible.


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Father died once and does not want to create more evil. Shitian, this name is not good, you will henceforth be called Yingying**. Come, lift your seal, come with Father. Father will take you to eat delicious food.¡±


    **Yingying represents the cute little snuffling-whine sounds made by babies. In renaming the dragon Yingying, Lin Xinghe is effectively calling him a crybaby dragon in a cute way.

 CH 176.1

    Yingying was quite the powerful dragon, really worthy of the future mount of the heroine of this novel world. The four thick chains that bound the ancient well fell with a clang and instantly shattered into pieces.


    The wall of the ancient well cracked slightly, then exploded with a boom. The stone wall completely split in two, a stern aura emanated from the deep bottom of the well, and a mighty black dragon appeared in front of Lin Xinghe.


    However, as soon as it opened its mouth, the imposing aura instantly disappeared.


    ¡°¡­¡­ Father, so dark!¡±


    The black scales still glowed with a cold light in the dim environment, and the gloomy and dark environment around it seemed to make it extremely uncomfortable. It shrunk its head back, stumbling over to Lin Xinghe and hiding behind her petite figure. Only then did it feel safe enough to peek out half a head to exclaim, ¡°The Donghua Sect is so cruel! Locking up a weakling dragon like me into a place like this!¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at its unproductive appearance and felt a little headache. It had the strength to lift the seal so long ago but stupidly stayed in this shitty place to suffer what exactly?


    She looked down.


    The black shiny paws of Yingying pressed against her shoulder, and its slithery eyes looked at her with trust in them.


    It did not seem to doubt the truth of her words, nor did it sense that she was not a dragon at all, but rather a person.


    She said: ¡°You are not afraid that I am a bad person? Do you really believe that I am your father? I¡¯m a human now, so why do you believe me so easily?¡±


    Yingying said, ¡°Who would come to the rescue of a demon dragon except for my father? You as a human I can understand, after all, you just resurrected. Your spirit has not yet fully recovered, and you lost most of the memory, besides¡­ Father, you used to take a new form every day. Although you¡¯re in a female one now¡­¡±


    Yingying crooked its head and surveyed Lin Xinghe, its eyes shining brightly.


    ¡°Father, you also look good like this!¡±


    Lin Xinghe confirmed that this dragon was hopelessly naive. If she wanted to destroy this world, she could not let the protagonist get her hands on this dragon.


    While she was thinking, Yingying asked, ¡°Father, where are we going to eat good food?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Let¡¯s go to the town over the hill.¡± She glanced at it, ¡°Can you change into a human?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Yingying shook itself and turned into a slender young girl.


    Lin Xinghe was slightly stunned.


    The young girl had picturesque eyebrows, and she again felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu.


    ¡°You were a black dragon coiled on a high tower before, and I was that high tower.¡±


    Qi Qing¡¯s words suddenly appeared in her mind.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the black dragon maiden in front of her thoughtfully.


    She suddenly laughed, ¡°Do you remember a high tower? A high tower that was very suitable for our clan to be coiled on it?¡±


    Without thinking, Yingying said, ¡°Father, do you mean the Pantian Tower*?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Yes, where is it again?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°The entrance to the Sea of Magic. Uncle built the tower and sits on it to bully the weak demons passing by. It¡¯s considered one of the landmarks of our demon dragon clan. Father, you also wanted to coil upon that tower before and fought with second uncle. The result was not only did you not defeat uncle, but also you broke a dragon horn and secluded yourself in cultivation for six hundred years to repair it.¡±


    *Pantian means to climb to the sky. The demon dragons really do have it out for the Celestial Realm.


    ¡­¡­ No wonder ¡°Father¡± died so early, it turned out to be so weak.


    Lin Xinghe coughed lightly and said, ¡°Do not mention the past, do not mention the past.¡±


    Yingying: ¡°Okay, Father, I promise not to mention it in the future.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the town to find something delicious.¡±


    Yingying gave a cheerful cry. Thinking of something, she plucked off a dragon scale with pain and put it on top of the ancient well rubble, then cast a slight spell before she said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°I left a message for Snowball, it will know that I am leaving with Father when it comes to visit me next time.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Can Snowball find you?¡±


    Yingying said, ¡°Yes, it knows how to find me.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    Lin Xinghe took Yingying down the mountain, over the hill, and through the town at the foot of the mountain.


    She first exchanged her gold for some local silver and went to buy two sets of clothes for herself and Yingying before taking Yingying to the most grand-looking eatery in the town and ordering a whole table of food.


    Yingying scarfed down the food instantly.


    Lin Xinghe did not choose to dine in a separate compartment, instead opting for the most central table in the restaurant, making it convenient for her to listen to conversations of diners coming and going.


    She understood Yingying¡¯s perspective, but she needed more info from multiple people to thoroughly understand this xianxia world.


    After the meal, Lin Xinghe, who had been an NPC in several xianxia novel worlds, already had a general understanding of the main characters of this world.


    Chances were that this was a novel with a female protagonist.

 CH 176.2

    The female protagonist Su Fengxue, the youngest sect sister of the Nanhua Sect, was loved and spoiled by all. As the female protagonist, naturally, there was no shortage of talented good-looking male characters, such as the youngest head of the Nanhua Sect, Shen Nanhua, or one that Yingying mentioned before, Xihua Sect¡¯s prodigy Hangwu Zhenren, or Donghua Sect¡¯s head disciple¡¯s youngest son Feng Mo¡­


    Dong, Xi, Nan, Bei. East, west, south and north. But the protagonist of the north¡­ was missing.


    In accordance with stereotypes and cliches, the villain would probably also appear as a male character who loves the female lead.


    Lin Xinghe felt that according to Yingying¡¯s description, the villain was highly likely to be one of her powerful uncles.


    As for the male protagonist, one of the three was probably him, but which one was still unknown.


    Lin Xinghe looked lovingly at the black dragon girl in front of her while finding something in her own portable space. It was only the size of a fingernail and had a switch on it.


    Lin Xinghe pressed it to turn it on, not expecting that Yingying would instantly regain its original form. The huge dragon body squeezed through the top floor of the restaurant, the surrounding mortals were too scared to scream and fled the restaurant. The culprit of all this panic, Yingying, was still dumbfoundedly holding a steamed osmanthus fish.


    Yingying seemed to be frightened by his sudden current shift, and after swallowing the osmanthus fish at a loss, looked dully at Lin Xinghe and said, ¡°Father, I can¡¯t change into human form.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Can you cast spells?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°No.¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew the function of this small prop now.


    Cultivators appeared on their swords in the horizon, and Lin Xinghe pocketed the prop. She mounted her magic broom and flew to the east.


    Yingying immediately followed.


    The cultivators who came at the sound of the demon dragon did not dare to chase after it, and could only go back to inform the Sect Leader before making plans.


    One person and one dragon easily left the town.


    Yingying: ¡°So strange, how come I just suddenly seemed to be sealed?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°The treasure your father obtained by chance ¡­¡­¡± she pointed to the magic broom and said succinctly, ¡°This is also one of them.¡±


    Yingying did not pursue the question further and said, ¡°Father, where are we going now?¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at Yingying and asked, ¡°Do you remember how I died?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°In that big battle with the Celestial Realm.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Very well, you still remember, and now that father has come to life, he wants to get justice for himself.¡±


    Yingying: ¡°Attack the Celestial Realm?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°No, we want to unify the Demon Realm. The three realms could have coexisted peacefully, it was your uncle who was too extreme, which led to the discord among the three realms. We want to reverse this situation and bring the three realms to peace, so we will first defeat your uncle and unify the Demon Realm, then make peace with the Celestial Realm and the Human Realm, so that there will be no more wars in the world from now on.¡±


    Yingying was silent for a moment and said, ¡°But father, you were beaten by uncle last time to a full six hundred years in seclusion.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°¡­ Do not mention the past. This time it¡¯s different. We father and daughter are united, what can we not do? Do you believe in me?¡±


    ¡°Believe!¡±


    Lin Xinghe was worried about how to unify the demon world, but now that she knew this prop worked, she had a few ideas. Lucius¡¯s small prop was apparently able to restrain all cultivation-related and demonic powers, and from those few cultivators who were still riding their swords in the distance, it seemed that the prop¡¯s range of influence was small.


    Testing it several times, Lin Xinghe confirmed that the radius of the blocking was centered on the small prop, and the effect carried out to ten meters.


    She would be able to easily attack the demon dragons in the demon world one by one.


    Now that the demon dragons became the demons of the demons, as long as Yingying beat her uncle, Lin Xinghe would be able to promote Yingying as the biggest villain of the book.


    As it turned out, Lin Xinghe¡¯s plan worked.


    With Lucius¡¯ props to restrain immortal magic, and with Yingying as her helper, it didn¡¯t take much effort for Lin Xinghe to replace the uncle with Yingying.


    Yingying: ¡°This is my father who came back from the dead!¡±


    The demon dragons looked at each other.


    Lin Xinghe smiled, ¡°Now I am in charge here.¡±


    The demon dragons had learned of Lin Xinghe¡¯s sealing spells, and they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. Lin Xinghe arrived at the Pantian Tower in the mouth of Yingying that night.


    Yingying transformed into a dragon body and coiled up the Pantian Tower, tilted its head, and looked at the black clouds sinking into the sea in front of it, muttering, ¡°Nice view, no wonder Uncle likes to be coiled up here, the breeze blows over comfortably.¡±


    Lin Xinghe mounted her magic broom and circled around the tower.


    Half an hour later, she said to the Pantian Tower, ¡°Can you show your original form now? Otherwise, I will resort to violence.¡±


    Within a few moments, the Pantian Tower hesitantly appeared in human form, transformed into a tall girl, and looked at Lin Xinghe in horror, ¡°How did you ¡­¡­ know that I have cultivated my human form? For so many years, no demon dragon found out.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°To be honest, it was you who told me.¡±


    Pantian Tower: ¡°???¡±


    The chat uniformly was full of ¡°F*ck¡±¡¯s.


    The most important thing was ¡­¡­ was this Boss Qi Qing?

 CH 177.1

    ¡¾That¡¯s Qi Qing, right?¡¿


    ¡¾Yes, it¡¯s Qi Qing! I think so too!¡¿


    ¡¾What? What are you saying about Qi Qing, why don¡¯t I understand? Isn¡¯t Boss Qi Qing a man? Isn¡¯t this a girl? Are we watching the same broadcast?¡¿


    ¡¾Let¡¯s put it this way, Boss Qi Qing said in the last exam that he had been in the same novel world as Lin Xinghe and Xie Wuan, and both Bosses Qi Qing and Xie Wuan remembered it, but only Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t. Why would Lin Xinghe not remember? Nowadays, students who have awakened know that as long as they have awakened, they can remember every exam world from the past. Even if you have experienced too many worlds and had a bad memory, at worst, you might forget some fictional worlds where you served as an NPC for a short period of time. After all, each fictional world was once experienced by you personally, equivalent to another self in another world.¡¿


    ¡¾Yes yes yes! Lin Xinghe does not remember this world, but from Qi Qing¡¯s description and this silly innocent sweet black dragon setting, in such a xianxia world, she simply could not have had a small role, especially if both Xie Wuan and Qi Qing remember her. In this mini exam, the background is xianxia, there are black demon dragons and transforming towers, exactly like Qi Qing mentioned. So this mini-exam should be the world that Lin Xinghe¡¯s memories were artificially sealed off of. The silly innocent sweet black dragon is Lin Xinghe¡¯s NPC character, the Pantian Tower girl is Qi Qing¡¯s NPC character. Although Boss Xie hasn¡¯t appeared yet, he must have also been an NPC in this world.¡¿


    ¡¾Why did Principal Wang seal Lin Xinghe¡¯s memories of this world? This is worth thinking about ¡­¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I really did not bring my IQ to watch the livestream *sobs*.¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m a little excited! As a CP fan of Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe, can I be here to see their past life relationship? I was already excited when Boss Qi said what he did. I didn¡¯t expect Xie Wuan had known Lin Xinghe for a long time, and listening to Boss Qi, it seems like the other had noticed Lin Xinghe for a long time!¡¿


    ¡¾The CP fans have exploded into a firework!¡¿


    ¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe, who shared the same view as the audience, was now quite cautious.


    She did not understand why Principal Wang had to artificially seal off the relevant memories of this world. What exactly happened in this world?


    Would the boss of this layer of the tower be Xie Wuan?


    Or Xiao Xue Ji?


    The crybaby dragon in front of her was her past NPC self, and now the core of the crybaby dragon was a different NPC, but she still couldn¡¯t recall any memories of the past except for a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Hua Mo.¡±


    ¡°Do you know who I am?¡±


    ¡°Yes, you are Shitian¡¯s resurrected father.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°She changed her name. She¡¯s now called Yingying, and in the future, the Demon Dragon clan will no longer be called Demon Dragon, but Yingying Dragon clan.¡±


    Hua Mo¡¯s eyes widened in surprise.


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°What? Got a problem with that?¡±


    Hua Mo hurriedly shook her head and said, ¡°No ¡­¡­ no, the name is nice.¡±


    Lin Xinghe wanted Hua Mo to shift to satisfy her own speculations. After the unification of the demon realm, they would need to gear up for the protagonists¡¯ attack. Their strongest combat unit¡ªYingying¡¯s Uncle¡ªhad been thrown into a deep-sea water prison.


    If this crybaby dragon broke the seal, according to her nature, it was likely to come here to unify the demon world if she hadn¡¯t become the mount of the heroine. With her golden finger as the assigned mount of the heroine, ten uncles may not have been able to defeat her.


    She did not become the heroine¡¯s mount but unified the magic world. Naturally, it was impossible to let the original plot go on smoothly. Plus, with the awakening of Qi Qing and Xie Wuan, a lot of NPCs were affected in minutes.


    Xie Wuan was assigned to the Xianxia Department, so it was probably in this exam room that he was deemed unfit for cleansing and sent to the villain school.


    Lin Xinghe was suddenly a little excited.


    What exactly did she do in this novel world that made Principal Wang scorn her like this?


    Hua Mo shifted from her original form, so the Pantian Tower no longer existed. Yingying didn¡¯t have a high tower to coil on, so she aggrievedly turned into human form to hug Lin Xinghe¡¯s  and pout sadly, ¡°Father.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°There is a voice in the sea of knowledge asking me to go back, asking me to wait for the girl on the seven-colored auspicious clouds to come.¡±

 CH 177.2

    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Did the voice in your sea of knowledge say anything else?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°Every time I have the thought of leaving the ancient well, it would appear, and since I left the well, it has not failed to remind me every moment. Could it be that one of the ancestors has left their divine sense in my sea of consciousness?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said decisively, ¡°Ignore it.¡±


    Yingying: ¡°Does Father know who the voice in my sea of knowledge is?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Who cares who it is. You are in charge of your body, you are in charge of your sea of knowledge, whoever chatters blindly in your sea of knowledge again, you can just¡­¡± she made a gesture of obliteration.


    Yingying: ¡°I understand!¡±


    Lin Xinghe could not tell for the time being whether the voice in Yingying¡¯s head was a plot character in this novel world or the system itself, but no matter which one it was, Yingying could either ignore or kill it.


    Although Yingying was silly and sweet, she did not drag her feet.


    Within a few days, Yingying made a wiping gesture towards Lin Xinghe, its eyes shining, ¡°Father, I finished it off.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Then let¡¯s go conquer the Starry Sea!¡±


    Hua Mo, who had been eavesdropping, looked at Lin Xinghe and then at Yingying Long, and silently gulped.


    ¡­¡­ She didn¡¯t understand what they were doing, but it seemed very impressive.


    Hua Mo saw at a glance that Lin Xinghe was not a demon dragon, just a mortal. Yingying¡¯s father had long been dead and there was absolutely no chance of resurrection, meaning Yingying was stupid to believe this. But this strange mortal also conquered the demon realm in less than ten days, sent the old ruler to a deep-sea water prison, and then raised Yingying as ruler of the Demon Realm without a single voice speaking out against them, the formerly aggressive tribe beaten into submission. Although that mortal didn¡¯t have much force value, she didn¡¯t need it¡ªher intelligence and eloquence carried her far beyond physical powers. Some of the demon dragons didn¡¯t even need to be beaten¡ªthey were won over by her powerful words.


    Looking at the mortal and Yingying, she wouldn¡¯t be surprised if the Celestial Realm were conquered.


    Hua Mo continued to be a silent observer.


    About half a month later, a group of cultivators claiming to be from a famous sect appeared at the gate to the Demon Realm.


    Hua Mo took a look at them.


    Another group begging for a fight.


    A lot of cultivation sects had sent disciples to survey the power of Lin Xinghe and the new demon lord, but all of them were promptly dismissed and imprisoned in the deep-sea water prison.


    Hua Mo didn¡¯t even bother to look.


    As expected, this group of immortal cultivators who came to ask for a fight was wiped out by Yingying and Lin Xinghe in less than a day. However, Lin Xinghe locked them in the tower instead of the water prison.


    At this moment Lin Xinghe stood in the Pantian Tower, sizing up the group of handsome men and a beautiful woman in front of her and falling into deep thought.


    The protagonist group arrived sooner than she thought.


    It was just that the olden finger was on her side, and a hundred protagonists could not beat her.


    At a glance, the protagonist Su Fengxue was obvious, as for the male protagonists and male supporting characters, it must be the men who cared for her.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Who is Shen Nanhua?¡±


    The man with sharp brows and lustrous eyes closest to Su Fengxue said in a cold voice, ¡°Demon girl.¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at him for a few moments and did not say anything, then asked, ¡°Who is Huanwu Zhenren?¡±


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    A young man with clean, crisp facial features.


    ¡°And who is Feng Mo?¡±


    The man with phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, with picturesque carved features and an exotic air responded.


    Lin Xinghe thought to herself that the heroine was really lucky with men¡¯s looks, just ¡­¡­


    Which one was Xie Wuan?


    According to the scattered memories she knew of Xie Wuan, in this world, Xie Wuan should be quite powerful, otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have fought the black dragon to a draw.


    In this world, the ultimate climb to the highest immortal path must be in the protagonist group.


    Lin Xinghe surveyed the other males again.


    The protagonist group, coming to fight the demon dragons, naturally could not only bring so few people. The main sects sent more disciples along, but as far as the eye could see, they were all ordinary-looking. Yingying also did not feel much cultivation aura emanating from the remaining disciples.


    But even so, Lin Xinghe still asked for their names one by one, to see if she could stir up a little memory.


    However, the ordinary disciples who followed all had NPC existences.


    Their naming was also very casual, completely without the rigor of cultivation sects. Female disciples had doubled names or added word names, such as Yingying, Lin¡¯er, and Fangfang. Male disciples were all surnames plus numbers,*Zhao Yi, Li San, Wang Si everywhere.


    *Zhao One, Li Three, Wang Four: Zhao, Li, and Wang are some of the most common generic surnames (Think Smith, Adams, Walker, Wright, Johnson etc). They¡¯re literally just numbered with the actual numbers.

 CH 178.1

    Lin Xinghe asked around to no avail.


    When Su Fengxue, Shen Nanhua, and the others first saw Lin Xinghe, they couldn¡¯t sense any cultivation in her body at all. For a while, they didn¡¯t know whether they just couldn¡¯t detect her high cultivation level or if she was only an ordinary mortal.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s appearance was deceptively cute. Her almond eyes were bright, her eyebrows like crescent moons and her smile sincere and sweet. She didn¡¯t look like someone who would be in the company of demons, and some people even thought that she was threatened by the demons and was working with them to save her life.


    Su Fengxue said softly, ¡°Little sister, is your life in danger?¡±


    Lin Xinghe understood what she meant, blinked, and replied, ¡°Nope, don¡¯t be fooled by my appearance, I¡¯m a big villain,¡± She continued with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s not out of respect that I locked you up here instead of down underwater. I¡¯m just looking for someone, and when I find the one I want, you won¡¯t be treated so well.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s voice was slightly sweet, but what she said was heartbreaking.


    Su Fengxue¡¯s complexion changed slightly after being choked by these words.


    Shen Nanhua next to her comforted her through sound transmission, ¡°Junior sister, don¡¯t talk to the demons. I have already sent a distress message to Shifu, who will probably come to save us in half a day, and the demons will be wiped out by then.¡±


    Su Fengxue also replied via voice transmission, ¡°I can¡¯t understand the arrogance of the demons. There must be some way to break through the shackles of the Pantian Tower. Our cultivation cannot be sealed for no reason. When I think of a way, I must take a good chance to frustrate her spirit.¡±


    It was also at this time that demons came to report.


    ¡°My lord, there is a cat called Snowball who strayed into the forbidden area of our clan by mistake. It should have been killed immediately, but it had a dragon scale on its body. I dare not do it rashly, so I can only report it to my lord first.¡±


    Before the words fell, a small fluffy head quietly poked out from behind the demons who came to report. Relying on the familiar aura, it recognized the dragon, screamed softly, and rushed to Yingying¡¯s side like an arrow, arching its head at her feet.


    Yingying was overjoyed and immediately picked up Snowball.


    The dragon and the cat yowled and meowed respectively.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Xinghe missed Xiao Xue Ji even more.


    Su Fengxue had a delicate mind. Seeing the expression in Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes change, she secretly paid more attention, and at the same time transmitted voices to the people around her. Naturally, Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t hear the voice transmission content of the protagonist group, and she didn¡¯t pay attention to what they were doing. She only hoped that this mini-exam would end as soon as possible, that she could defeat Principal Wang as soon as possible, and see her Xiao Xue Ji as soon as possible.


    She locked them here just to see which one was Xie Wuan, maybe he could remind her of something, after all, in Xie Wuan¡¯s portable space, when she saw her past selves, she immediately remembered many things.


    However, it didn¡¯t matter if she couldn¡¯t find Xie Wuan. As long as she passed this mini-exam and continued to climb the tower, no matter how many problems Principal Wang posed for her, as long as she solved them, she would see Xie Wuan eventually.


    Lin Xinghe was thinking about how to pass this mini-exam.


    In the last mini-exam, she caused all the NPCs to awaken collectively. The rules of the game could not continue, and the world of the mini-exam began to collapse. So how could this mini-exam collapse?


    ¡­Kill all the protagonists?


    ¡­Or find a way to awaken all the NPCs in this world?


    When Lin Xinghe first came to this world, she also thought about the latter method. But it was a bit tricky. The last mini-exam had fewer people, and this one had way more, not to mention they wre divided between three warring realms.


    At this moment, Lin Xinghe suddenly felt the silence around him, raised her head slightly, and found that Yingying had become still, Xueqiu¡¯s claws were arched in midair,, and the protagonists were also motionless¡ªtheir eyes did not blink at all.


    Time actually stood still.


    She was slightly taken aback.


    Soon, she heard Xie Wuan¡¯s long-lost voice.


    ¡°¡­¡­I see.¡±


    ¡°¡­ No wonder.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was so surprised that she couldn¡¯t help but look around. Her eyes flicked from the faces of the protagonist group, and she also looked at Yingying and Xueqiu, but they were all still, so obviously, they couldn¡¯t be Xie Wuan.

 CH 178.2

    She walked to the window again. Everything outside was also in a state of stillness, and there was a demon bird eating on the sea in the distance, it only ate half a fish, and the blood dripping from its mouth was also coagulated in mid-air.


    ¡­Where was Xie Wuan?


    She heard Xie Wuan¡¯s voice again.


    ¡°Is Old Wang so afraid of her? This whole wall of code is just to seal her memory as a black dragon?¡±


    ¡°Oh? It¡¯s still sealed?¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s brows and eyes moved slightly.


    Suddenly, she smiled.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s heartfelt voice almost echoed with her inner thoughts¡ª¡ª


    Lin Xinghe: He is really powerful, he has already entered the system.


    Xie Wuan: She is the only one who can make Old Wang so afraid.


    The pride in his voice was palpable.


    The smile in Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes deepened.


    For the next minute, Xie Wuan didn¡¯t say anything in his heart.


    Lin Xinghe flew away from the Pantian Tower on a magic broom.


    She was looking at the sky carefully.


    Now that she could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice, it could only mean one thing.


    The tower she was pulled into, which contained countless mini-exams, was very close to the inside of the system, and Xie Wuan must have destroyed the system from the inside, so everything was still now, and she could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice.


    With all the previous examples of the kinds of turmoil in the past, Xie Wuan probably made the disturbance.


    From this point of view, once this examination room is over, it should be the end.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly heard Xie Wuan snorting.


    ¡°¡­Lao Wang is actually just a bit capable to have written such complicated code.¡±


    ¡°Hey, did this memory give birth to awakening?¡±


    ¡°It seems that her side is also progressing quite smoothly, and she will be able to retrieve this memory soon¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe sat quietly on the magic broom, listening to Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice. If it weren¡¯t for the raised corners of her lips from time to time, the audience might think that Lin Xinghe had also become a part of the still picture.


    ¡¾SL¡¯s smile is suspicious¡­¡¿


    ¡¾My aunt smiles. ¡¿


    ¡¾I have a guess. Xie Wuan has never appeared, could the leader be chatting with Xie Wuan? ¡¿


    ¡¾But shouldn¡¯t he be visible through the camera? ¡¿


    ¡¾Maybe they have some way to block the camera? ¡¿


    ¡¾Oooh is there something the audience shouldn¡¯t be able to see?! ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know that the livestream was still going on, but now that it was the last moment, even if it were on, she wouldn¡¯t hide it. She listened carefully to every word of Xie Wuan¡¯s heart, and at the same time, her mind spun to process the information.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s inner dialogue was intermittent.


    Obviously, he was undoing the code written by Principal Wang, but judging from the current situation, it seemed a bit tricky.


    Judging from his words, Xie Wuan did not understand her situation in detail.


    He himself did not know the impact his actions had on the examination room.


    Moreover, he said that her memory gave birth to her own awakening¡­


    Lin Xinghe fell into deep thought.


    If that piece of memory that was locked inside the system by President Wang with a complex code gave birth to her own awakening, as the owner of that piece of memory, could she summon that piece of memory?


    Xie Wuan was trying from the outside. If she also helped from the inside, maybe they could work together to retrieve the memory.


    Xie Wuan was rewriting the code, and she had no way to help with this.


    But internally, could she do something to lower the code¡¯s defenses?


    This novel world was so feared by Principal Wang that, apart from her, Xie Wuan, and Qi Qing, there was also a cat that is exactly the same as Xiao Xue Ji. Xiao Xue Ji transformed into a cute pet she picked out in the Interplanar Mall back then.


    At that time, she chose a ragdoll cat.


    People who had raised cats before would more or less understand.


    The breed of puppet cat, in accordance to the modern department definition of modern, was a breed that was only cultivated in modern society.


    A ragdoll cat appeared in the world of Xianxia, which was against harmony no matter how you looked at it.


    Lin Xinghe was still thinking when, suddenly, Xie Wuan said in surprise, ¡°Not good.¡±


    However, before he continued, his voice stopped abruptly.


    The air flowed again.


    The blood around the demon bird¡¯s mouth fell on the sea surface, and the fish in its mouth was completely swallowed into its belly.


    Everything that stood still returned to normal.


    Lin Xinghe grew worried, wondering what happened to Xie Wuan.

 CH 179.1

    5-7 minutes 21.01.2022


    unedited


    Lin Xinghe took a deep breath and told herself not to panic.


    At this time, she had to calm down and think of a countermeasure.


    She closed her eyes, took a few breaths, and when she opened them, her eyes became calm and resolute again.


    She flew back to Pantian Tower.


    Yingying said anxiously, ¡°Father, where have you been?¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, I went out for a walk.¡±


    Her eyes fell on Snowball.


    In the original Xianxia world, it was unlikely that there would be a breed that was only cultivated in modern society. Otherwise, it would be too inconsistent with the entire worldview.


    Did the original world have Snowball?


    Would Snowball be the breakthrough point to leave this small examination room?


    However, at this moment, Snowball, who had been arching its head at Yingying¡¯s feet, raised its furry paws and started walking towards Su Fengxue¡¯s side.


    Su Fengxue, Shen Nanhua, and the others were all tied up with immortal binding ropes.


    Snowball stopped in front of Su Fengxue, raised her head, and stared at her intently with her blue eyes.


    Yingying said, ¡°Snowball, come here, that¡¯s not a place for you to stay.¡±


    Unexpectedly, the white light suddenly brightened.


    When everyone reacted, Su Fengxue had untied herself at some point, her slender and weak palm pinched Snowball¡¯s little head, she looked straight at Lin Xinghe, and said, ¡°Let us go, otherwise I kill it.¡±


    Before Lin Xinghe could speak, she chuckled again and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to pretend you don¡¯t care, I know you care about this cat. A person¡¯s eyes can¡¯t lie, and you looked at this cat¡¯s differently. You just have to let us go and make sure we can leave this place safely, and I also promise you that I will also let this cat go. Don¡¯t try to play dirty and dark tricks. This is the exclusive secret of our Nanhua sect. Even if our spiritual power is sealed, this technique can still be used.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It seems that Junior Sister was hiding something.¡±


    Su Fengxue said: ¡°Stop talking nonsense, are you going to let us go? If you don¡¯t let it go, I¡¯m going to do it. Don¡¯t try to procrastinate, just now I put a forbidden curse on this cat, and it can¡¯t leave me. The demon core it cultivated will be shattered abruptly, and even if you ask famous doctors all over the three worlds, you can¡¯t save it. You demons do a lot of evil, and you never act openly. Don¡¯t blame me for using tricks, to deal with you, you can only deal with filth by using filth.¡±


    Although the protagonist group was tied up with the immortal binding rope, the admirers of the heroine were still very supportive and could not applaud, but their echoes sounded one after another.


    Lin Xinghe looked at them and felt it was funny.


    ¡­ If there were a chance, she must know the author who wrote this novel. What kind of peerless sand sculpture character they made! But of course, she couldn¡¯t let them kill Snowball. It doesn¡¯t matter who the NPC Xie Wuan was, what was important was Snowball, a ragdoll cat that should not have appeared in the world of Xianxia.


    She said straightforwardly, ¡°Okay, I can let you go.¡±


    While speaking, she looked at the Snowball in Su Fengxue¡¯s hand calmly.


    It drooped its head while being restrained and seemed a little scared.


    She said to Yingying, ¡°Let them go, let them leave here, and we will talk about the rest later.¡±


    Yingying has always been obedient to Lin Xinghe. When she said so, Yingying immediately gave orders.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°See my sincerity? You can leave now, no one will stop you, but I hope you keep your promise and let go of Snowball.¡± Seemingly thinking of something, she added, ¡°If you go back on your word, presumably, you also understand my methods. I could catch you all the first time; the second time is no problem.¡±


    Yingying cooperated with her very much, and they untied all the immortal binding ropes that bound them.


    Yingying didn¡¯t trust that group of immortal cultivators.


    But with her dragon¡¯s instinct, she could easily resonate emotionally with Snowball. In the past, when Snowball came to the ancient well to play with her, she could clearly feel its kindness and happiness. When she was attacked by monsters occasionally, she could also feel its panic. But now that it was hijacked, even though it showed a look of terror, she could clearly feel that Snowball was not afraid, and was even very calm.


    Yingying chose to trust her own instincts, and after watching them leave, Yingying tugged at Lin Xinghe¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Father, I think Snowball has plans of its own. It¡¯s not afraid, maybe it knows something.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    Yingying said, ¡°This is the instinct of the dragon clan, which can perceive emotions.¡±


    Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe¡¯s complexion changed slightly, and she said, ¡°You guys stay here.¡±


    After speaking, she put on the invisibility cloak, rode on the magic broom, and followed behind the protagonist group. After the protagonist group lost their restraints, they left the demon world with swords one after another. Maybe because there was a hostage in their hands, they didn¡¯t fly fast, so Lin Xinghe could keep up.

 CH 179.2

    She was about a meter away from them.


    Su Fengxue tied Snowball up with a demon binding rope and seemed to think that it was unthreatening, so she stopped pinching it, but tied it to her sword so that only a cat¡¯s head was exposed.


    Snowball looked very frightened. Apart from the sense of panic in its eyes, its ears drooped, which was a typical cat¡¯s reaction when it was frightened.


    After the protagonist group left the demon world, they found an inn where they could rest.


    Shen Nanhua and others greeted Su Fengxue with care.


    Lin Xinghe listened to what they said while keeping an eye on Snowball.


    She watched it carefully.


    Not long after it was time for dinner, a group of dinner guests poured into the inn. Taking advantage of the crowd, Lin Xinghe called out unexpectedly, ¡°Xiao Xue Ji.¡±


    Snowball, who was bundled into a rice dumpling, moved its ears, trying to turn its neck with difficulty.


    The audience exploded.


    ¡¾My God, is this Xiao Xue Ji! ¡¿


    ¡¾Is it right? ¡¿


    ¡¾I think the leader has already confirmed that it is Xiao Xue Ji. ¡¿


    ¡¾Then why doesn¡¯t it recognize the leader? Or did it lose its memory like Jiuge in the small examination room earlier? ¡¿


    ¡¾Wait, if this is the real Xiao Xue Ji, then if she is killed by the protagonist, she is really dead! ¡¿


    And at this moment, the protagonist group was discussing whether to release Snowball now.


    Su Fengxue hesitated and said, ¡°Although it is a monster, it did not do any evil. Maybe it was deceived by the demons¡­¡±


    Feng Mo said, ¡°Xue¡¯er, you are too kind. If they are not of my race, they must have a different heart. The demons do a lot of evil, and they value this monster so much. There may be hidden secrets inside. You must not be taken advantage of.¡±


    Su Fengxue looked at Snowball and stretched her fingers toward Snowball¡¯s head.


    And at this moment, Snowball opened its mouth suddenly and bit Su Fengxue hard.


    Su Fengxue called out.


    Before Lin Xinghe could stop it, Feng Mo¡¯s cultivation verse had already been recited, and a faint light suddenly appeared. Before it went out, Snowball¡¯s demon core had been taken out.


    The round and translucent white demon core was held by Feng Mo in the palm of his hand, and it shattered into fine powder in an instant.


    Snowball let out a wail, and the glossy fur on its body immediately dimmed. Her blue eyes lost all energy, and she turned into a very old cat.


    As if it could see Lin Xinghe, it opened its mouth in Lin Xinghe¡¯s direction.


    Even though it was very light, Lin Xinghe still heard it.


    It was saying, ¡°Mommy.¡±


    It was Xiao Xue Ji!


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s emotions tensed up to the extreme in an instant, as if something exploded in her mind, causing her a splitting headache. She had always strategized, and since entering the villain school, she had never missed a shot. She has always believed that she was very lucky and the heavens were very good to her, but she never thought that one day there would be a miscalculation, and she would see with her own eyes that Xiao Xue Ji, whom she regarded as a relative, would be harmed in front of her.


    It was her overconfidence that led to such negligence.


    If she had used the small prop in time just now, Feng Mo would have never been able to make a move, and she would have been able to rescue Xiao Xue Ji.


    But she was too confident. Judging from Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s previous performances, she thought that Xiao Xue Ji left with the protagonist group on purpose. Xiao Xue Ji must have her own intentions. She followed up quietly. But she didn¡¯t expect this scene.


    She blamed herself to the extreme in an instant, with complex emotions intertwined, and something seemed to come out of her chest, merging with the wind flowing in the air.


    In an instant, it was as if countless tides poured into her body and finally rushed to her brain. The unspeakable sense of weight made her brain, which was already on the edge of exploding, even more uncomfortable, and she felt that every nerve in her body was going crazy. When the pain was too extreme to bear, a force suddenly appeared in her body, as if someone gently pushed her back.


    The noise around the inn turned into nothingness that drifted away.


    When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer in the inn, but she was surrounded by a familiar environment, the peach blossom grove she had just landed in at the start of this examination room not long ago.


    Before the audience could get out of the grief of Xiao Xue Ji being killed, they were stunned by the strange transformation in front of them and asked what happened in the barrage.


    But no one knew.


    Lin Xinghe herself didn¡¯t know either.

 CH 180.1

    However, Lin Xinghe reacted quickly.


    At the same time, she discovered her abnormality almost in just a few minutes.


    After experiencing painful nerve tugging, she teleported to the peach blossom woods and was in a state of soul body.


    ¡­ Was she dead?


    ¡­Would the paper insert characters have souls after death?


    Lin Xinghe tried to touch a peach tree beside her, but unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t touch it. Her hand passed through the peach tree directly, and she couldn¡¯t pick up any objects. The outfit on her body was still the same as before, but her portable space was gone.


    Also at this time, a white shadow flew past Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes.


    Before Lin Xinghe could see clearly, that white shadow rushed toward the depths of the peach forest. She thought for a while and then followed. Probably because of her soul body, she could not touch the ground and could only float in the air, but also because of the lightness of her soul body, her speed was much faster than that of a human body, even if she was a little dazed for a while. She caught up with that white shadow in threes and fives.


    It was a white cat.


    Unlike the ragdoll cat, this was just an ordinary white cat. It was a garden cat with yellow eyes, like amber.


    It didn¡¯t notice Lin Xinghe¡¯s existence at all.


    It stretched itself, licked its paws again, and turned into a petite girl, born in pink and jade, wearing a rouge pink breast-length skirt.


    This place, Lin Xinghe was very familiar with, was where Xiao Xue Ji went to find Yingying.


    The little girl in front of her seemed a little nervous. Her pupils after becoming human were black, like washed black grapes, full of aura like Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s eyes.


    Thinking of Xiao Xue Ji, Lin Xinghe¡¯s mood changed slightly, but in a blink of an eye, when she thought about leaving here to find Xiao Xue Ji, maybe there was still room for her to stay. Her eyes immediately became determined.


    The white cat entered the barrier, and it was exactly the same as what happened after Xiao Xue Ji entered the barrier. It also threw a peach branch into the ancient well, but the Yingying in the ancient well reacted differently. He responded with a whimper but made a human voice, ¡°Xueqiu, you are here again, did you bring me peach branches today? It¡¯s so beautiful, I like peach blossoms, especially pastries made of peach blossoms¡­¡±


    The voice is the same as that of the Yingying when it turned into an adult, but this Yingying was obviously much gentler and more mature than the previous Yingying, and it was obviously not the same NPC.


    ¡­ Could it be that there was a bug in the system?


    ¡­ Was she sent to another Xianxia examination room that was exactly the same?


    Just as she was thinking this way, a soft light suddenly appeared in the ancient well.


    When the light faded away, there was a slim figure beside the ancient well, which was not quite the same as the girl when Yingying transformed into a human form, but more like the appearance of Yingying when she grew up to be five or six years old. The facial features had also been fine-tuned. The previous naiveness of the dragon was gone, and after a few more glances, she couldn¡¯t help feeling pity and love.


    Who would have thought that a harmless girl would be a giant dragon?


    She held the peach branch and sniffed the blossoms lightly.


    The white cat who turned into a girl looked up at her, as if only Yingying were in her eyes.


    She picked up the girl and said, ¡°Let me show you a spell.¡±


    She grasped the peach branch with five fingers. As if there were stars shining, the peach branch went away with the light. When she opened her five fingers again, there was a peach wood food box in her palm. Delicate, several lifelike peach blossoms are carved on the box.


    ¡°For you, this is a gift in return.¡±


    After Xueqiu turned into a human form, she was a three or four-year-old girl. After hugging the food box, the food box blocked half of her face, revealing only a pair of jet-black eyes.


    Yingying seemed not expecting it, so she picked it up for her again, opened the first layer, and said, ¡°This is peach blossom jelly, and the one on the right is peach blossom cake, all soft and glutinous pastries. On the second layer, desserts with a slightly harder texture. They are peach blossom crisps and peach blossom candies, both of which are edible.¡±


    Xueqiu¡¯s eyes lit up. She leaned forward, held the food box tightly, and said, ¡°I can hold it! Xueqiu can hold it by myself!¡±


    Yingying put down Xueqiu and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I almost forgot, you are a demon who has cultivated for many years.¡±


    Xueqiu carefully took out a piece of peach blossom cake, took a bite, and narrowed her eyes happily.


    Yingying looked at Xueqiu, and her eyes were full of gentle maternal brilliance.


    She was sitting on the edge of the ancient well. She was obviously a black dragon in her original form, but after she transformed into a human, she wore a bright-colored skirt with a flowing goose-yellow embroidered large-sleeve shirt and had a head of black, beautiful hair. Even the hair revealed a gentleness.


    It was just that there is a trace of confusion in her eyes at this moment.


    Miraculously, Lin Xinghe was able to read her heart.

 CH 180.2

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me go?¡±


    ¡°I can obviously leave this place, but you won¡¯t let me leave?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need other people to save me, let alone the girl on colorful auspicious clouds, I can be my own hero.¡±


    ¡°Who is she?¡±


    ¡°Why should I wait for her?¡±


    ¡°I obviously don¡¯t need it.¡±


    Lin Xinghe took a breath.


    ¡­ The Yingying in front of her was not the NPC in the Xianxia small examination room, or any NPC, it was her. This was the xianxia world that she couldn¡¯t think of! Such an inner monologue was her previous confusion!


    This was the black dragon NPC she once played!


    A sense of familiarity emerged spontaneously.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t need to wait for anyone, and I don¡¯t need anyone to save me. My will is determined by myself. No one, nothing, and no force can change my mind.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said softly.


    When the words fell, Yingying, who was sitting on the edge of the ancient well, suddenly whispered, ¡°No, I don¡¯t need to wait for anyone, and I don¡¯t need anyone to save me. My will is determined by myself. No one, nothing, and no force can change my mind.¡±


    The voices of the two people were obviously completely different, but at this moment, they overlapped, making the audience believe that they were the same person and that this was the world that Lin Xinghe forgot.


    ¡¾So we can see the relationship between the leader and Xie Wuan in the previous life with our own eyes! ¡¿


    ¡¾Right! Didn¡¯t Boss Qi Qing say that? It was in this world that he saw the leader and Xie Wuan with his own eyes. ¡¿


    ¡¾I¡¯m more curious about what role Xie Wuan plays in this world. According to Xie Wuan¡¯s ostentation, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a domineering and cool character. He doesn¡¯t seem to be in the protagonist group. ¡¿


    ¡¾No, it¡¯s hard to say, without awakening, anyone could be Xie Wuan, just like Qi Qing, who would have thought that he would be a tower in this world, and would be a girl after transforming into a human form? ¡¿


    Lin Xinghe reached out to touch the former self in front of her, but before her hand touched her skin, she went straight through again.


    She didn¡¯t try anymore.


    She began to stay quietly by Yingying¡¯s side, watching her every move, observing her every word and deed, so as to think of more past events.


    At this time, Yingying had gotten rid of the control of the system and completed the initial awakening.


    Although she was out of control, she didn¡¯t leave the ancient well immediately. Instead, she chose to practice in seclusion and brought Xueqiu into the ancient well.


    She used some spells to break one of the seals and then brought Xueqiu inside.


    Lin Xinghe followed and floated into the ancient well.


    Probably because of the different dimensions, all the spells and seals in the well have no effect on her.


    She sank into the ancient well with Yingying and Xueqiu.


    The ancient well was arranged in an orderly manner by Yingying. It was not as cold as imagined, but rather warm.


    After Yingying put Xueqiu down, she taught her how to enter and exit the ancient well, and then began to practice.


    She didn¡¯t practice all the time¡ªshe would have eight hours of rest and entertainment.


    Xueqiu was still confused and asked, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t one focus on cultivation?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°This is called combining work and rest, which is beneficial to better cultivation.¡±


    At the beginning, Xueqiu seemed to understand half of it, but gradually, when chatting with Yingying, Xueqiu understood more and more words that did not belong to this era, such as interstellar, galaxy, and mecha.


    Yingying always spit out future interstellar-related words inadvertently. When she said it for the first time, she was stunned, not understanding what it meant, but soon, she said to herself again, ¡± That¡¯s how I understand it, I might have forgotten something¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback, thinking, Did she experience other interstellar worlds before she experienced this xianxia world?


    Lin Xinghe herself had indeed experienced many interstellar worlds and was no stranger to these words. She had been the Queen of the Zerg several times, a proper villain.


    However, as a dragon, she took it for granted that the strange words she said suddenly.


    Xueqiu, who was obsessed with it, also gradually changed.


    Yingying and Xueqiu said, ¡°In a few thousand years, or in a different era, there will be a breed, which is also a cat, called a ragdoll cat. Its body is also snow-white, but it has long hair and blue eyes¡­¡±


    She gestured to Xueqiu, and lightly touched Xueqiu¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°In the early days, most of them were colorpoint, bicolor, mitted, and other varieties. Later, in the interstellar era, pure-color ragdolls became more popular, and most cat breeders used scientific methods to breed purebred ragdolls. I also raised a pure white ragdoll before¡­¡±


    Xueqiu transformed into a snow-white puppet cat with pink paws and a pink nose, and the color of her eyes was constantly being adjusted.


    ¡°Like this?¡±


    ¡°A lighter shade.¡±


    ¡°What about now?¡±


    ¡°Yes! That¡¯s the cat. My previous cat was named Xiao Xue Ji.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly shocked.


    ¡­The appearance of Xiao Xue Ji was not an accident?

 CH 181

    From the world she had forgotten now, it seemed that in the world of the interstellar era, she had Xiao Xue Ji. The current Xiao Xue Ji in the fairy world could be Xiao Xue Ji transformed by her influence or the interstellar Xiao Xue Ji who was showing signs of awakening.


    As for her Xiao Xue Ji, who later followed from the world of the Snow Maiden and became a ragdoll cat, it seemed to be fate.


    Lin Xinghe stared intently at Xueqiu, who had turned into Xiao Xue Ji.


    Yingying was talking about her past in the interstellar era.


    Lin Xinghe was also listening carefully.


    She just forgot about this fairy world.


    She still had some memories of the world of the future interstellar era. As long as she tried hard to recall, she could still come up with it, even including some details and feelings at that time.


    But right now, she has no memory of the interstellar era that Yingying was talking about.


    ¡°¡­In our era, science and technology were quite advanced. There were no spells or auras, but by relying on technology, we could do things that spells can do.¡±


    ¡°¡­In our time, scientists were the most respectable profession.¡±


    Xueqiu especially liked Yingying talking to her about the interstellar era.


    Every time Yingying started to speak, she turned into a human form, sat obediently on the small stone pier, propped her chin, opened her round black eyes, and looked at Yingying intently.


    Yingying smiled at Xueqiu, ¡°I think if you were born in the interstellar age, you would definitely be a scientist.¡±


    Xueqiu was very happy.


    ¡°Really?!¡±


    Yingying said warmly, ¡°Really, because you have a strong thirst for knowledge. If you were a scientist, you must be a powerful scientist.¡±


    Xueqiu said, ¡°Xueqiu wants to be a great scientist!¡±


    Yingying giggled.


    Some time later, the dragon finally ended the retreat.


    She broke through the seal of the ancient well and flew to the Demon Realm with a powerful and fierce dragon spirit.


    Instead of turning to human form, she used her original form.


    A huge black dragon hovered over the Demon Realm.


    Dark clouds covered the sun, lightning and thunder flashed and roared.


    A stormy sea, the sound of dragon chant resounded through the sky.


    The gentle human Yingying was a powerful monster when she turned back into a dragon. Even the cute and lovely Xueqiu had an astonishing change. A pair of huge wings enough to wrap her body stood side by side with the black dragon in the air.


    One dragon and one leopard were unstoppable, and it took less than half a day to ban the existence of the strongest dragon in the devil world.


    After Yingying ruled the demon world, she seldom stayed on the throne of the demon king.


    She especially likes to transform into a dragon body, hovering on the Pantian tower on the edge of the Black Sea, often staring at the sky in a daze.


    Xueqiu turned into a ragdoll cat and nestled on the window sill of the Pantian Tower, lazily basking in the sun, occasionally stretching, jumping on the black dragon, coquettishly sticky.


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help smiling.


    As expected of the old her, it was almost the same as what she did before, and there was no plot of taking the mount route.


    She calculated the time. According to this development, the protagonist group was about to come.


    She should be able to know who was the role played by Xie Wuan.


    As for Qi Qing¡­


    Lin Xinghe circled around the Pantian Tower a few times. As powerful a dragon as she had been, she didn¡¯t seem to notice that the tower she hovered around for a long time had already cultivated a human form.


    The protagonist group attacked on a sunny day.


    Perhaps it was because the plot had already changed, this time the protagonist group was no different from the protagonist group she had experienced in the small examination room, and they were also caught by Yingying.


    But the difference was that Yingying didn¡¯t lock them in the Pantian tower but rather chose the deep sea prison.


    Xueqiu asked Yingying, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you kill them?¡±


    Yingying murmured, ¡°These people have gathered all the luck in this world¡­¡±


    Xueqiu asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Yingying: ¡°There is a sky beyond the sky¡­¡± She looked up at the sky, and continued, ¡°If you practice hard, one day you will understand that the immortal heavens are not the highest peak. No matter how powerful we are, it¡¯s nothing compared to the sky beyond the sky. It seems that it is just a small existence like a drop in the ocean. But even though it is small, the way of heaven is not enough to fear.¡±


    Xueqiu seemed to understand but also didn¡¯t seem to understand.


    Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help admiring herself.


    It took her at least three or four exams to understand the essence of the system, and she in this world understood it so early.


    Yingying continued, ¡°Forget it, I will go to see the son of luck in this world.¡±


    She left the tower and flew towards the deep sea prison with Xueqiu.


    Lin Xinghe was about to follow but saw that Pantian Tower changed into a human form, and it was still the little girl she had seen before. Hua Mo held a face and stared in the direction of Yingying¡¯s departure.


    She murmured, ¡°Lord Shitian is so domineering.¡±


    Looked like a diehard fan.


    Lin Xinghe was amazed. She really didn¡¯t expect Qi Qing to be such a character in this world.


    She looked at Hua Mo a few more times before hurriedly drifting towards the deep sea prison.


    Her speed was not as fast as Yingying¡¯s, but she had been to the deep sea prison when she dominated the demon world before, so she was quite familiar with the path. When she arrived at the deep sea prison, Yingying had already turned into a human form, looking down at the entire protagonist group.


    The protagonist group who came to attack the magic dragon was numbered exactly as last time, and the cannon fodder who came to make up the number was exactly the same.


    Only¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe looked sensitively at the disciples of the Nanhua School who were huddled in the corner.


    He was born ordinary, and his foundation was also ordinary in his impression, and he had not yet fully stepped into the sect of cultivating immortals. She vaguely remembered that when the protagonist group defended the heroine Su Fengxue, the eyes of these ordinary disciples showed envy.


    But this time, there was obviously something different about this Nanhua sect disciple who was both ordinary in appearance and foundation.


    His eyes were clear and deep, and there was an aura about him.


    At this time, Yingying looked away from Su Fengxue and said lightly, ¡°The son of luck is nothing more than that¡­¡± After a pause, she suddenly bent her eyebrows and smiled. Her tone was gentle and sweet, but the words she said made the protagonist¡¯s skin tingle, ¡°If I make you puppets for you to stay by my side, will the luck of this world fall on my head?¡±


    The audience was stunned.


    ¡¾What? Wasn¡¯t it Xie Wuan himself who liked to make figures? ¡¿


    ¡¾Could it be that he learned it from SL in the first place? ¡¿


    ¡¾If you like someone, you will even get used to the other person¡¯s preferences! ¡¿


    Her eyes flicked over the protagonist group one by one, and she ordered the subordinates around her: ¡°Her, him, him, him¡­ bright them to Pantian Tower.¡± At the same time, she also saw the ordinary Nanhua sect disciple and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Er.¡±


    Yingying raised her head slightly and said, ¡°And him.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was absolutely sure.


    Xie Wuan in this world must be this passerby named ¡°Zhao Er.¡±

 CH 182.1

    Yingying and Zhao Er fought constantly, but unfortunately, neither of them won.


    Zhao Er said to Yingying after this exchange of ideas, ¡°They are all children of the gods¡­¡± His expression was indifferent, ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to kill them?¡±


    Yingying said, ¡°Everyone is the god¡¯s pawn, they are, I am, and so are you.¡±


    Zhao Er: ¡°Until the end, how do you and I know that us chess pieces can¡¯t stand up and control the board?¡± He smiled disdainfully and said again, ¡°This is the body, skin, and soul the god gave me¡­ He gave me life. Do I have to obey him because of that?¡±


    He sneered again, and said slowly, ¡°No.¡±


    As he spoke, he took out a pot made of black iron from the treasure bag in his sleeve. It gave off a cold and gloomy air. He said to Yingying, ¡°You come with me.¡±


    Zhao Er and Yingying landed on a lotus pond.


    His sleeves fluttered, and the black iron pot floated in the air. Under Zhao Er¡¯s control, black magma poured out. It was midsummer now, and the pond was full of pink lotus. Though he only let out just a drop of black magma, the whole pond instantly turned into ashes. Even the water in the pond gave off a chill. The small black iron pot seemed to contain inexhaustible black magma, and the pond was filled with black magma that made people feel cold all over, Zhao Er said, ¡°This is a bottomless pot.¡±


    Yingying: ¡°I know, this is the magic liquid from the Black Sea¡¯s enchanted cave that can devour bones and destroy everything.¡±


    Zhao Er: ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    He leapt, plunging into the deadly roiling magic liquid. In the blink of an eye, after being swallowed by the black magma, the flesh and blood of the previously living person disappeared, exposing the white bones, which then turned into powder. It was all submerged in the pool.


    Yingying rarely showed a look of astonishment and shock.


    Lin Xinghe was also stunned. She never expected such a development. Although she knew that Xie Wuan would live well in the future, when she saw him disappear completely, her emotions were still a little fluctuating. She had to take deep breaths to calm down.


    The color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed. The sky was bright and sunny, the dark clouds were surging, and the sky dimmed instantly.


    The dark sky almost merged with the black magma pond.


    A sporadic light appeared, and then it slowly expanded, swallowing the black magma domineeringly. Under the radiance, a red beating heart appeared in the air, and then a skeleton grew out. The organs needed by the human body filled the entire skeleton bit by bit, followed by the new flesh, and finally his face and skin.


    His facial features were completely different from Zhao Er¡¯s. The man was actually reborn and  abandoned the physical appearance and personality given by the system.


    Yingying stared intently.


    Probably because she didn¡¯t have the affection that Lin Xinghe had now, she was not shy.


    Lin Xinghe glanced at his naked body, blushed slightly and looked away, and only looked back after he put on his clothes and left the pond.


    Zhao Er, who once again put on a white robe with long sleeves, already had Xie Wuan¡¯s current demeanor. Although his appearance was different, his face was born from his heart, and she could still see the shadow of Xie Wuan¡¯s cold Xianjun more or less.


    He said to Yingying, ¡°I am no longer Zhao Er. You are called Shitian, and I am called Tuntian. My name is mine, my body is mine, and my soul is also mine. My fate is up to me.¡±


    *T/N Shitian means kill the sky, Tuntian means swallow the sky. The sky refers to the heavens or the system.


    Yingying was greatly moved and said, ¡°Your cultivation base has reached such a level that you can be reborn against fate. Well, my fate is up to me. I am Shitian, and you are Tuntian. This day, this place will be destroyed.¡±


    To destroy this world, the first thing they planned to do was to destroy the protagonist group.


    Zhao Er wanted to kill the protagonist group directly.


    Yingying did not agree and pulled the protagonist group into an illusion. After they experienced forty-nine days of mental torture, they did not hesitate to join the sect of the demon world when they came out, and under the guidance of Yingying, became initially awakened.


    Yingying and Zhao Er said, ¡°In our current situation, death is never the end. Only when we fully wake up and break away from the god¡¯s control can we be qualified to touch death.¡±


    She looked at Zhao Er with a smile, ¡°I am deeply inspired by you, don¡¯t you want to see the world of the god?¡±


    Zhao Er was thoughtful.


    She continued, ¡°Let¡¯s make a bet. After we step into the world of the god, we will fight again. Whoever loses will be willing to be the opponent¡¯s puppet.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a deal.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s nose grew slightly sour, and her eyes stung.


    She just made a bet with Xie Wuan casually, but he really took it to heart, never forgot, and persistently went to every world to find her.

 CH 182.2

    ¡°¡­Stupid, can¡¯t you wake up after being leashed by Old Wang for so long?¡±


    ¡°¡­If you don¡¯t wake up again, our bet will be considered your loss.¡±


    ¡°¡­Forget it, this illustrious one will wait for you for another five years.¡±


    ¡°¡­You are not the protagonist, so you will die sooner or later. It is better to die sooner rather than later. This illustrious one will end this world for you.¡±


    ¡°¡­This illustrious will wait for you for another five years at most, or maybe ten years.¡±


    ¡°¡­Oh, it¡¯s not impossible that I¡¯ll wait for twenty years.¡±


    Zhao Er and Yingying looked at each other, and Yingying asked, ¡°What do you think?¡±


    Zhao Er: ¡°What do you think?¡±


    The two moved at the same time.


    It was just that one looked at the sky and the other looked at the ground.


    Yingying pointed at the ground, ¡°I want to pierce the ground, and dig three miles deep to dig him out!¡±


    Zhao Er pointed to the sky, ¡°I¡¯m going to destroy this sky.¡±


    Yingying said, ¡°You bet up there¡±


    Zhao Er: ¡°You bet down here?¡±


    The two looked at each other and smiled, almost at the same time, one flying into the sky and the other drilling into the ground.


    Lin Xinghe followed herself without hesitation.


    Yingying turned into a black dragon, like a gigantic electric drill. After piercing the surface of the ground, she drilled down abruptly, crossed the bottom of the sea, passed through the center of the earth, and finally came to an untouchable boundary.


    Lin Xinghe had seen the Eye of Data before, and she immediately understood that Yingying had come to the boundary set by this world.


    It must be that when the novel system was set up, it was never expected that someone would stick to this point and come here through the ground.


    Yingying turned back into a human body, she stared at the ground, squeezed the seal without thinking, and smashed the ground. She actually punched a hole forcibly.


    Compared with the previous huge metal data eye, this time, it was more intuitive.


    Outside the hole was a huge white ball of light. There was countless data floating in the ball. Although it seemed to be placed randomly, it was in fact orderly. Each piece of complex code data emitted light of different colors.


    Lin Xinghe floated in front of the line of light blue data closest to her and suddenly found that a microcosm existed behind its code. Behind the different data were different microscopic worlds, some of which were even familiar to her. For example, she saw the world of the Alpine Rimerose examination room, and the Snow Maiden examination room. She did not recognize any other examination rooms. After all, the novels here were really too many worlds, densely packed, and the number was staggering.


    Lin Xinghe was still in shock but suddenly heard a loud noise, turned his head to look, and found that Yingying had already begun to destroy this data.


    Lin Xinghe: ¡­ really deserves to be me.


    The data was corrupted. The system seemed to be aware of it and was repairing it on the fly.


    The destructive force of Yingying was extremely violent as if she were racing against the system, destroying data on the one hand and resisting system intrusion on the other.


    Yingying gradually lost to the system. Half of her body had been reformatted by the system, turned into the same data and the other side of the body was still tenaciously holding on.


    At this moment, the white light sphere suddenly turned red, and the dazzling red flashed. A mechanized female voice sounded¡ª¡±Warning! Warning! There is an invasion of foreign objects!¡±


    The system seems to be stuck.


    Yingying¡¯s lips pulled into a smile, ¡°He¡¯s here too¡­¡±


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yingying turned into a streamer and rushed to the top of the ball of light.


    The system wanted to capture her, but because of the lag, it was half a beat too late.


    Yingying had smashed a hole in the top of the datasphere. Thanks to the remaining half of her body, Yingying successfully drilled out of the crack, and Lin Xinghe also left the white light ball with Yingying.


    Outside the white light sphere was a square room.


    Inside were countless sponge-like red spheres about the size of a palm, soaked in an unknown liquid and covered with transparent glass.


    There was a gleam of light below the sphere, and a thin tube, all of which converged in one place to meet the white sphere of light.


    Lin Xinghe took a closer look and found that every transparent glass had a person¡¯s name written on it.


    Yingying stared blankly at the glass in front of him and murmured, ¡°This is my name¡­ yes, my name is Lin Xinghe.¡±


    Lin Xinghe took a look, and it really said Lin Xinghe.


    ¡°¡­Not a god.¡± Yingying said firmly.


    ¡°¡­A thief.¡±


    Lin Xinghe finally understood.


    Why Principal Wang feared her so much and took so much effort to get rid of her memories.


    It was not her various baiting behaviors, nor was it that she saw through the secrets of the system early on, but she discovered the core mechanism of the villain school. All the NPCs here were not blank characters, nor were they data created out of thin air. Behind all the NPCs were real people.

 CH 183.1

    Realizing this, Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help but gasp.


    She realized that the memory of the interstellar world that Yingying recalled before was not at all what she experienced in any novel world, but the life she really experienced in reality.


    She was not a blank character, let alone an NPC created by the system. She was a living person.


    She was a resident of the interstellar age.


    As for why she appeared here, that strange room full of red sponge spheres explained everything very well.


    Principal Wang had stolen her consciousness.


    And it wasn¡¯t just her but thousands of people like her, who all had memories of their real lives erased and became puppets in Principal Wang¡¯s novel system.


    This was the reason why Principal Wang truly feared her.


    Sure enough, after Yingying discovered Principal Wang¡¯s secret, Principal Wang appeared inside the system himself. Like a terrifying controller, he wrote code programs out of thin air to fight against Yingying¡¯s memory.


    Yingying was in excruciating pain, and half of her face was distorted beyond human shape.


    Principal Wang showed a ferocious expression. More and more codes appeared in mid-air, and Yingying was getting more and more pained. Unexpectedly, a girl appeared in the air. She looked young, cute, and sweet, but her voice was mechanical and her eyes hollow. The voice was exactly the same as the previous mechanical female voice¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Warning! You do not have sufficient privileges.¡±


    ¡°Warning! You do not have sufficient privileges.¡±


    ¡°Warning! You do not have sufficient privileges.¡±


    Principal Wang¡¯s movements stopped abruptly.


    He looked at the girl angrily and cursed, ¡°Get her away if you have the ability! You can¡¯t even stop an NPC¡¯s invasion! What use is your system!¡±


    ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t have permission to kill NPCs unless you can hack my deep system to change this permission.¡±


    ¡°Then what should I do?¡±


    ¡°If erasing the memory doesn¡¯t work, it is recommended to extract this memory and block it.¡±


    Yingying¡¯s memory seemed to have been erased.


    She looked around blankly and finally fixed her eyes on the girl who floated mid-air.


    She came forward step by step, looking up at her.


    Her voice was almost breathless.


    Only Lin Xinghe, who was extremely close, heard it.


    ¡°Why would someone look exactly like me?¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    And at this moment, Yingying turned into a ray of light and submerged into the girl¡¯s body. Next, Lin Xinghe felt her body sink, and her surroundings were like phantoms, crumbling and finally turning into nothingness.


    After Lin Xinghe came back to her senses, she found himself back in the original small examination room.


    In the bustling inn, she was wearing an invisibility cloak, and in front of her were Su Fengxue and the other protagonists who were sitting at the square table, while Xiao Xue Ji had her core taken out and was already dying.


    Lin Xinghe remembered.


    She remembered it all.


    That period of memory that was blocked from the outside by Principal Wang had completely returned.


    What she experienced in the form of a soul body was her lost memory. Presumably, Xie Wuan broke through the system and gave her the opportunity to retrieve her own memory.


    Suddenly there was a sound of dragon chants outside the inn.


    Yingying came from the demon world.


    When she saw the dying Xueqiu, her eyes were about to burst, and she immediately fought with the protagonist group.


    The inn was narrow and small, and the few people were demolished to pieces within two strokes.


    Lin Xinghe stepped forward quickly, hugging the white cat on the bench.


    She took off her invisibility cloak.


    Feeling her temperature, Xiao Xue Ji opened her blue eyes and let out a soft cry.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°I know everything, I know everything, and I have remembered everything. Tell me, you are just an NPC in this world, and all your actions are in line with the development of the world¡¯s plot.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji said, ¡°Uncle Xie saved me from Principal Wang and had me guide you in this world.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked persistently, ¡°So you are an NPC, right?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Even though she knew that Xiao Xue Ji had just died as a normal NPC, Lin Xinghe couldn¡¯t help being afraid that if Xiao Xue Ji didn¡¯t appear in this world as an NPC, she would die in the true sense if her core was taken out at this time.


    Xiao Xue Ji exhausted her last bit of spiritual power and turned into a little girl. She stretched out her hand, trying to wipe away the tears forming at the corners of Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes, and said, ¡°Mommy, I didn¡¯t let you down. I really became an excellent scientist.¡±


    Lin Xinghe held her little hand and said, ¡°I know, Xilin.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji smiled, squeezed Lin Xinghe¡¯s hand, and slowly closed her eyes in her embrace.


    The viewers were shocked and speechless when Lin Xinghe entered the system. For a long, long time, no one posted a barrage, until now¡ª¡ª


    ¡¾X¡­ Xilin? Isn¡¯t she the modern boss who died before? ¡¿


    ¡¾Fuck! It can only be her. In terms of excellent scientists, who else is there except Xilin? ¡¿


    ¡¾So in that xianxia world, apart from the awakened Lin Xinghe, Xie Wuan, and Qiqing, there is also Xiao Xue Ji, who is later Xilin? What a world of big bosses! ¡¿


    ¡¾But isn¡¯t Xilin dead? Everyone saw Xilin¡¯s livestream, and she was really dead. If a student died in the examination room, she is really dead. Why can she be resurrected? ¡¿


    ¡¾Maybe this is the boss¡¯ method! ¡¿

 CH 183.2

    Lin Xinghe put Xiao Xue Ji into her portable space. At this time, the outcome of Yingying and the protagonist group has been decided. All the protagonists died at the hands of Yingying.


    Yingying came to Lin Xinghe sadly.


    Lin Xinghe told her, ¡°Xueqiu is not dead, do you want to save Xueqiu?¡±


    Yingying nodded without hesitation.


    After recalling her memory, Lin Xinghe felt very kind when she saw Yingying. She held out her hand and said, ¡°Then come with me, let¡¯s save Xueqiu.¡±


    In the beginning, she and Xie Wuan went to the borders of the ground and the sky. Obviously, the ground was faster than the sky, otherwise, Xie Wuan would have been the first to enter the system.


    Now she only needed to follow the example of the past, choose a place, and use the power of the dragon to drill into the ground to enter the system again.


    But this time, it was different.


    Last time, only a few had awakened, so the system had the capacity to erase their memories one by one. But this time, most people had awakened, the power of the masses had gathered, the system was on the verge of collapse, and Xie Wuan was also destroying the system.


    The complete collapse of the system was only one step away.


    It was just that Yingying¡¯s current strength was definitely not as good as her original self¡¯s, and she was not completely sure that she could penetrate the center of this world.


    But this was not a problem. If Yingying were not strong enough, there was still a whole demon world that Lin Xinghe could dispatch.


    The process was not as smooth as the previous time, but with Lin Xinghe¡¯s coaxing and help, Yingying made it to the barrier.


    Compared with the inside of the system in previous memories, the current system was much more desolate. It was probably because the awakening of most people brought the system to the verge of collapse. The inside of the white light sphere was actually empty, and it was not as bright as before. The light, originally densely packed with code, now only had a few lines of data remaining.


    She took a closer look. They were indeed the small examination rooms she had experienced.


    When she was about to break through the sphere to find Principal Wang, she felt a chill down her spine. The body trained in multiple novel worlds reacted faster than her brain, and she subconsciously jumped twice to avoid the sudden blow.


    She took a closer look.


    Principal Wang appeared at some point, an ice pick in his palm, and he looked at Lin Xinghe with disgust.


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile, ¡°I really never thought that one day we would meet in such a place.¡±


    Principal Wang didn¡¯t reply and continued his assault.


    Lin Xinghe also had a dragon beside her.


    As soon as Principal Wang attacked, Yingying stepped forward to meet him in battle.


    Principal Wang¡¯s strength was not weak, and Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t know what kind of all-rounder ability he added to himself. He was proficient in various departments of magic, and even his skills were top-notch.


    Yingying was soon at a disadvantage.


    Lin Xinghe also had props for eliminating magic and immortality from the robot examination room. She took out the props when Principal Wang was almost exhausted and banned all his magical attacks.


    At the same time, she took out a knife from the portable space, took advantage of Principal Wang¡¯s unpreparedness, and stabbed him in the chest without hesitation.


    Principal Wang looked at Lin Xinghe in disbelief.


    ¡°You¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said: ¡°This is what you owe all of us.¡±


    Before the words fell, Principal Wang didn¡¯t know what triggered it. His whole body was so painful that his five senses twisted together, and the surrounding space was also distorted. Suddenly, Principal Wang exploded in front of Lin Xinghe.


    His whole body was torn apart, and even the surrounding space exploded, leaving less and less space for Lin Xinghe and Yingying to stand.


    The few remaining data codes in the air slowly dissipated.


    First, she watched the first small examination room, Jiuge¡¯s room. When the dense numbers disappeared, Jiuge appeared. Immediately after that was the second small examination room, the one with Qi Qing and Fu Zhou. When the numbers disappeared, the two of them also appeared.


    At this time, the small examination room of the third world scattered into light.


    The lower body of Yingying beside Lin Xinghe disappeared, replaced by all kinds of glowing data, which gradually disappeared into the third small examination room.


    Yingying knew that she was going to disappear.


    She said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°I knew you were not my father, I knew you were lying to me¡­¡± She looked at the digital world and said with a smile, ¡°But I also knew that you would solve my long-standing confusion¡­ ¡±


    Yingying waved to Lin Xinghe.


    ¡°Maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future.¡±


    After she finished speaking, her hand also became digitized, and she completely disappeared.


    Jiuge, Qi Qing, and Fu Zhou came over and asked Lin Xinghe, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at the fourth world that was being digitized, but the speed of digitization grew faster and faster. Before she could see it clearly, it had completely disappeared.


    The world inside the system was crumbling.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt something was off, but she couldn¡¯t tell just what it was. At this moment, she only felt that her surroundings were destroyed by white light, and even she was wrapped in white light.


    When the white light dissipated, she had returned to the villain school.

 CH 184.1

    Lin Xinghe thought about it carefully. The last time she was in the villain school was when she was preparing to take the competitive examination room.


    In the blink of an eye, she had already taken six exams non-stop ¨C Seeds of Hell, Apocalypse, Bastet Planet, and several small exam rooms for the climbing towers. Thinking about it now, those times seemed like a lifetime away.


    Apart from her, there was also Jiuge, Qi Qing, Fu Zhou, and the others in Area A of the huge examination room.


    Fu Zhou saw his Leiting again, hugging Leiting¡¯s snake head and weeping with joy.


    Jiuge had already pulled out a mirror and was checking his hair.


    Qi Qing stood aside with his greatsword on his back, watching Lin Xinghe quietly.


    Lin Xinghe just felt strange. Logically speaking, if Leiting returned to Fu Zhou¡¯s side, then Xiao Xue Ji should also return to her side with Xie Wuan.


    She listened carefully, but unfortunately, she didn¡¯t hear Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice.


    ¡­The system crashed, so Xie Wuan should have come back no matter what.


    ¡°Deskmate!¡±


    Unexpectedly, an excited voice came from not far away.


    Lin Xinghe followed the sound and found that it was Gu Taoyao.


    Gu Taoyao held Xiao Xue Ji in her arms.


    Gu Taoyao came to Lin Xinghe¡¯s side and said excitedly, ¡°Great, I¡¯m the first one to come over to congratulate you! Ahhh, it¡¯s so exciting! Every livestream of yours I followed. Without you, we would not be able to awaken, nor would we be able to overthrow Principal Wang, or gain freedom!¡±


    Lin Xinghe took over the fluffy Xiao Xue Ji.


    Xiao Xue Ji rubbed her head against Lin Xinghe¡¯s chest and let out a lazy ¡°meow¡±.


    Gu Taoyao continued, ¡°The classmates in the school have discussed it and want to hold a grand banquet for you. The place is in the cafeteria.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Have you seen Xie Wuan?¡±


    Gu Taoyao said, ¡°Yes, Xie Wuan came back earlier than you guys, Xiao Xue Ji was brought back by Xie Wuan, but we don¡¯t know where he went. Regarding the banquet, he said he would attend on time.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°When is the banquet time?¡±


    Gu Taoyao, ¡°Seven o¡¯clock in the evening.¡±


    Lin Xinghe glanced at the time. It was already half past six in the evening, half an hour before seven.


    She originally wanted to go back to the dormitory to clean up. After all, she took six exams in a row. Although there was time to clean up and wash up in the exam room, most of them were in a hurry. Now that she was going to see Xie Wuan, her mood was completely different from before. She was happy and tense, anticipating meeting the person she liked again.


    As the saying goes, women are the ones who please themselves. Lin Xinghe¡¯s state of mind was different now, and she always felt that she could dress up better.


    But¡­¡­


    In fact, it was not necessary for her to go back to the dormitory.


    Lin Xinghe probed into her portable space and found a dress with an off-neck collar that perfectly showed her collarbone and narrow waist, pairing it with a pair of small high heels. It only took about ten minutes for her to do light makeup in the bathroom near the cafeteria.


    ¡­ On time.


    Lin Xinghe, who had calculated the time, began to ask Gu Taoyao, ¡°When I was taking the exam, what happened in the school? Where did the proctors go?¡± After a pause, she continued, ¡°You saw my six exams. You all know about the livestreams, the system, and Principal Wang?¡±


    Gu Taoyao nodded frantically and boasted sincerely: ¡°Yes, yes, I understand. After the examination room on Bastet, all the examinations in the school were suspended, including the candidates who were taking the examination. Everyone was sent back to the villain school, and the only exam room that was running was that of you, Xie Wuan, Jiuge, Qi Qing, and Fu Zhou. Thanks to you, not only the students, but even the teachers have awakened, and the teachers have followed suit to fight against Principal Wang together.¡±


    Gu Taoyao said, ¡°Did you know! All the teachers in our school are NPCs, and they are the teacher personalities bestowed by Principal Wang. They had a private world for them to rest and entertain after work. After you took the lead in awakening, the teachers also awakened with us. Now that Principal Wang has fallen, as long as you leave this place, you can return to your own world¡­ So we thank you and want to hold a grand ceremony after you come back. After the banquet is over, let¡¯s say goodbye and return to our own worlds¡­¡±


    Gu Taoyao smiled and said, ¡°We are all from different planes, so we may not have the chance to meet again in the future¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe was not surprised.


    After she regained her memory, she also awakened again at the same time.

 CH 184.2

    Her real self was from a plane of the interstellar era. Her real name was also Lin Xinghe, and she was a citizen of RH18, the most prosperous planet. She was two years older than Principal Wang¡¯s setting for Lin Xinghe, an excellent diplomat, and had never failed in diplomacy with different planets in the past.


    The reason why she fell into Principal Wang¡¯s trap was because she was entrusted by the Interstellar Federation Bureau to enter the villain school as an undercover agent and find evidence of Principal Wang¡¯s crimes.


    ¡°The power of the masses is great, the ability of individuals is limited, unite the masses and dismantle the forces of evil.¡±


    This sentence that appeared in her mind every now and then was exactly what the director of the Interstellar Federation Bureau kept telling her in her ears.


    It was the first time she discovered the school¡¯s secrets before, and a kind reminder from a stranger, who was presumably also an undercover agent sent in by the director of the Interstellar Federation Bureau. She remembered that the director said that a member of their bureau also went in as an undercover agent, but they were trapped inside and couldn¡¯t get out. They didn¡¯t have any evidence, so they had no choice but to seek her help.


    Now it seemed that Principal Wang was really cunning. Most of the consciousness of so many real NPCs come from different planes. In her world, after the concept of planes was confirmed and widely applied to daily life by the Federation, many new industries were born, but because it was just starting to be used, the corresponding laws and regulations were not perfect. He exploited a loophole in the planes.


    Otherwise, the Interstellar Federation Bureau would not have chosen to use undercover agents, it was a last resort.


    Only¡­¡­


    Lin Xinghe thought of the system itself.


    Previously, her memory was blocked, so she didn¡¯t remember it, but now that her memories had returned, all those suspicious points came to her mind, such as the avatar of the system, that sweet-looking girl who looked exactly like her in the real world; the system warned Principal Wang that he did not have permission.


    ¡­Why did the avatar of the system look exactly like her real-world self?


    ¡­Principal Wang had no authority to change the settings of the system. That could only mean one thing: Principal Wang was not the creator of the system at all. So who was the real creator of the system? Was the person who could create such a system residing in a higher plane of existence than them? If so, what was their relationship with her?


    Lin Xinghe only felt doubt. Principal Wang had already answered some of her questions, but she still had many more. However, she knew that as long as she saw Xie Wuan, all her doubts would be answered.


    ¡°I come from a low-level plane. My world is just an ordinary world. There is no aura to support immortal cultivation, and there is no magic. The level of technology is completely inferior to the interstellar era you are in¡­ the technology in our place should be one or two thousand years behind yours.¡±


    The interstellar world where Lin Xinghe lived didn¡¯t have enough aura to support immortal cultivation, and no magic or technology had developed to a level that could be compared to other worlds that had high-tech weapons, such as energy bombs that could destroy a planet, and extremely powerful mechs. Their intelligence allowed the interstellar world to ascend to the high-level plane with ease. It was more convenient for people on their plane to buy interplanar products.


    Principal Wang also set up an interplanar mall in the school. When the system was on the verge of collapse, the interplanar mall was closed directly, and even the previous point system no longer operated. Now it seemed that the interplanar mall in the villain school imitated the products made by the real plane mall.


    In a sense, Principal Wang was actually a talent.


    Lin Xinghe told Gu Taoyao, ¡°With the arrival of the planar era, the technological development speed of your world will definitely have a qualitative leap. As far as I know, after many middle-level plane worlds were included in the plane world, they became high-level planes in half a year. Logically speaking, people from different planes cannot meet each other in a real sense, but now we can chat face to face¡­¡± She paused, and it was easier to use a low-level plane explanation.


    ¡°The villain school we are in now should be a holographic game world. Everyone has their own game image, such as you, or me¡­¡±


    Gu Taoyao said, ¡°Well, I know, as long as you leave the villain school, you will leave the game world, return to the real world, and return to your own plane.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    The two walked all the way, getting closer and closer to the cafeteria.


    Lin Xinghe said to Gu Taoyao, ¡°I want to change into a dress suitable for the banquet, you should go to the cafeteria first.¡±


    Gu Taoyao opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she finally closed her mouth. Her body trembled a little, but she clenched her fists, pursed her lips, and turned her head to walk to the cafeteria.

 CH 185.1

    After Lin Xinghe changed into her dress, she casually applied some makeup.


    She glanced at the time. There were still five or six minutes before the banquet started.


    She was a little nervous.


    She really hadn¡¯t seen Xie Wuan for a long time. Although she didn¡¯t stay in the examination rooms for long, it was really a while since she was in the world of xianxia.


    She was both moved and distressed by the thought of that fool who had waited for her for so long just because of a casual bet.


    She had thousands of words to say to Xie Wuan.


    But now that she was about to see him, she didn¡¯t know what to say to start. Obviously she wasn¡¯t a teenager anymore, but at that moment, her heart raced.


    She also listened intently for a while, waiting to hear Xie Wuan¡¯s voice.


    According to the effective distance of Aphrodite¡¯s tears, if Xie Wuan was in the cafeteria now, she would hear his inner voice. With his temperament, his current inner activities must be very exciting.


    However, she didn¡¯t hear anything.


    When she was putting on makeup, Xiao Xue Ji lay lazily on the sink, staring at her intently.


    Lin Xinghe asked her, ¡°Which plane are you from?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji shook her head.


    Lin Xinghe was a little worried at once, Xiao Xue Ji was different from her, and she didn¡¯t know how Xiao Xue Ji was resurrected. Lin Xinghe only knew that Xiao Xue Ji also entered the villain school after awakening, entered the modern department, and became Xilin, an immortal legend in the modern department, but later died in the examination room. According to the rules of the system, death in the examination room was a real death, and many people witnessed the stream of Xilin¡¯s death with their own eyes. But Xilin did not die but became an NPC again, and finally came to her side.


    Before, she didn¡¯t understand why Xiao Xue Ji was able to deceive the system¡¯s detection and the proctors¡¯ examination, but now she finally understood.


    Firstly, Xie Wuan must have done something, and secondly, there was an undercover agent among the proctors. Presumably, it was the police officer from the Interstellar Federation Bureau who could not get out.


    But now that Principal Wang was dead and the system had collapsed, it was impossible to control everyone. The students in the school were all awakened, and they all knew what kind of world they were from. They were no longer set NPCs controlled by the system.


    Logically speaking, when the system crashed and everyone¡¯s memories were recovered, Xiao Xue Ji should be able to remember which plane she was captured from. Not being able to remember it now could have something to do with her death.


    Thinking of this, Lin Xinghe touched Xiao Xue Ji¡¯s head and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, we will see Xie Wuan later, he should have a way to help you.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded slightly.


    Lin Xinghe said again, ¡°Now you can change into a human if you want, there is no need for pretense.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji still looked lazy, opened her mouth and yawned, and murmured, ¡°I¡¯m a little sleepy.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said,  ¡°Come and rest in my portable space.¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji nodded.


    Lin Xinghe put her in the portable space and then walked towards the cafeteria.


    She walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly. She didn¡¯t know what she was thinking, looked up at the sky, then looked around and pondered for a moment before continuing to move.


    It was not yet seven o¡¯clock when she arrived at the cafeteria.


    Almost as soon as she entered the cafeteria, she heard a few ¡°bang bang bang¡±, followed by countless fireworks falling, and many familiar faces full of smiles¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Welcome back!¡±


    The school cafeteria was decorated, and a student who was good at creating illusions arranged the huge cafeteria magnificently. The decorations were a little rushed, probably due to time constraints.


    Lin Xinghe exchanged pleasantries with them, looking for Xie Wuan.


    Gu Taoyao said that Xie Wuan would attend the banquet on time, but now it was time for the banquet to start, but she never saw Xie Wuan¡¯s figure, nor could she hear Xie Wuan¡¯s heart-voice.


    Suddenly, Jiuge¡¯s voice came.


    ¡°Lin Xinghe.¡±


    She followed the sound and saw Jiuge, Fu Zhou, and Qiqing sitting at an eight-person table not far away, and Leiting, who was still curled up under the table, stared straight at her with a pair of snake eyes.


    Lin Xinghe walked over.


    Jiuge said, ¡°Xie Wuan said he would come later.¡±


    Fu Zhou, ¡°Have you eaten? I heard that the chef preparing the banquet is from your plane. You haven¡¯t eaten food from your hometown for a long time, right? Do you want some?¡±


    Fu Zhou graciously handed Lin Xinghe a dinner plate with a delicious pastry on it.


    Although the plane where Lin Xinghe was located entered the interstellar era, when it came to food, it was still not as good as the Hua of the blue planet. Many people even traveled thousands of miles to take an interstellar spacecraft to master the gourmet secrets of Hua.


    But hard work paid off. After they returned to RH18, they opened small restaurants, each of which was booming.


    Today¡¯s RH18 star already dominated the world of Hua cuisine.

 CH 185.2

    Lin Xinghe looked at the plate of authentic Hua delicacies in front of her. Their vibrant flavors in her memory revived, and she couldn¡¯t help but miss it very much.


    Lin Xinghe said. ¡°Put it to the side, I¡¯ll eat it later.¡±


    She was actually a little hungry, but she just put on makeup, and eating now would affect the perfection of her lipstick. She asked Jiuge, ¡°Where did Xie Wuan go? Why is he too late?


    Jiuge said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at Qi Qing.


    Qi Qing also shook his head.


    Leiting at the bottom of the table was spitting snake letters, and his eyes were still straight.


    Lin Xinghe only felt weird, but didn¡¯t show it. Her eyes turned around in the huge cafeteria again, and finally fell on Jiuge, she asked without changing expression, ¡°Jiuge, I found a super easy-to-use shampoo, do you need it?¡±


    Jiuge said, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Lin Xinghe leaned into her portable space, took out the shampoo, and carried out Xiao Xue Ji who was sleeping in the portable space along the way. She put Xiao Xue Ji on the ground.


    Xiao Xue Ji yawned lazily with a sleepy look on her face.


    Under the table, Leiting stared at Lin Xinghe, not paying attention to Xiao Xue Ji at all.


    Lin Xinghe suddenly laughed, and while brushing the broken hair on her temples, she stuffed the shampoo back into her portable space and said to Jiuge, ¡°Sorry, I took the wrong one, this is the one I gave you last time, The one I found wasn¡¯t readily available, so I had to make my own¡­¡±


    Her palm was slightly clenched into a fist, and inside was a small prop taken out from the portable space, a small machine that had previously played a big role in the world of xianxia and banned magic and xianxia arts in a small area.


    At this time, Gu Taoyao came over.


    She smiled and praised Lin Xinghe¡¯s makeup and dress.


    Lin Xinghe picked up the delicate and delicious pastries that Fu Zhou handed over just now, and enthusiastically said to Gu Taoyao, ¡°Come and taste the delicacies from the plane I¡¯m in. It¡¯s really delicious ¨C I strongly recommend it.¡±


    As if thinking of something, she casually said, ¡°By the way, is the prop I gave you useful before? It¡¯s the singing voice of a mermaid. Didn¡¯t you always want this type of prop before?¡±


    Gu Taoyao¡¯s eyes were slightly red, and her voice choked up, ¡°It¡¯s easy to use.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said with a smile, ¡°Silly girl, if it¡¯s easy to use, it¡¯s easy to use. What¡¯s there to cry about?¡± She stretched out her hand to wipe away the teardrops from her eyes and handed her the pastry, ¡°Would you like something to eat?¡±


    Jiuge interjected, ¡°Girls just love to cry. It¡¯s not just a prop. I have something similar. If you want, I can give it to you¡­¡± Then, Jiuge reached out to grab the plate of pastries in Lin Xinghe¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°If you don¡¯t eat it, I will eat it.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe pinched the edge of the plate, not letting Jiuge take it away, and said, ¡°How do you know Taoyao won¡¯t eat it?¡±


    Brother Jiu also pinched the other side of the plate, ¡°If you want to eat, take the one next to it¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°Fu Zhou gave it to me. Jiuge, you eat the one over there¡­¡± She raised her chin, ¡°Isn¡¯t there the exact same cake?¡±


    There was a dispute between the two, and they both held the edge of the plate. Neither of them would let go.


    And at this moment, Gu Taoyao suddenly reached out and snatched the pastry from the plate. She stuffed it into her mouth with lightning speed, and the tears she just wiped fell like dropped pearls.


    She used the voice of a mermaid and shouted, ¡°Go away, none of them are real¡­¡±


    After the voice fell, the people around were attacked by the mermaid¡¯s singing voice, and they all covered their ears.


    Lin Xinghe sighed, dragged Gu Taoyao up, and ran towards the entrance of the cafeteria with big strides. At the same time, she also arranged the mechanical props in her pocket. Wherever she passed, all magic and xianxia were banned.


    When all the magic spells failed, the phantoms in the cafeteria flailed and faded away like a tide, revealing all kinds of instruments of torture.


    Lin Xinghe ran very fast, dragging Gu Taoyao away and disappearing into the cafeteria before anyone could react.


    As soon as Lin Xinghe left the cafeteria, she put away the props, dragged Gu Taoyao onto her magic broom, and flew towards the school gate at high speed. When she turned her head, seeing Gu Taoyao¡¯s cheek rounded, she reached out and pinched her chin with all her strength, then pat her on the back.


    The pastry in Gu Taoyao¡¯s mouth was knocked out and fell from the air.


    Gu Taoyao choked up and said, ¡°I¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe took out a tube of antidote from her portable space, ¡°You take it first, and when the surroundings are safe, I will find a way to detoxify you completely. This can suppress 80% of the poison. You hold on first.¡±


    Gu Taoyao¡¯s tears fell even harder.


    ¡°You¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe, ¡°Leave me, mine, you, you, yours, detoxify first¡­¡± After a pause, she laughed again, ¡°Actually, you didn¡¯t need to test the poison yourself to remind me. I noticed something was wrong when I entered the cafeteria.¡±

 CH 186.1

    Strictly speaking, when Lin Xinghe was inside the system, she was already suspicious.


    She had already dealt with Principal Wang. Qi Qing, Jiuge, and Fu Zhou appeared. It made no sense that Xie Wuan was not there. Even if Xie Wuan was delayed due to something, she had already appeared inside the system.


    When she was in the world of xianxia, she could hear Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice.


    That was enough to prove that she was very close to Xie Wuan.


    But at that time, her body had already appeared inside the system, so how was it possible for her not to hear Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice? Not to mention that she and Principal Wang had created such a big commotion inside the system.


    Unless Xie Wuan encountered an accident.


    But if there were an accident, when she dealt with Principal Wang and returned to the villain school, logically speaking, she would see Xie Wuan immediately. And, the minute she went back to the villain school, there was the most pressing question.


    If Principal Wang really died and the system crashed, why would she go back to the villain school instead of returning to the real world?


    After being suspicious, she became wary of everything in the villain¡¯s school.


    Sure enough, she was right to be wary.


    She said, ¡°The inside of the system I entered was just another world created by President Wang. It was mostly used to confuse me so that I would think everything is over and let go of all vigilance, so that my acquaintances could kill me.¡±


    Although she was caught in the situation of being hunted down by the whole school, she still had a smile on her face, her eyebrows were peaked, and she smiled like a girl next door.


    She asked Gu Taoyao, ¡°Is that right?¡±


    Gu Taoyao nodded vigorously.


    Although she didn¡¯t swallow the poisonous pastry, the group of NPCs wanted to poison Lin Xinghe to death. After she stuffed the pastry into her mouth, the toxin on her skin made her tongue tingle, and she even felt a faint nauseous and burning sensation.


    But thanks to drinking the antidote in time, the pathological discomfort subsided a lot, but her tongue and even her whole mouth were numb and bitter, and her tears were streaming, ¡°Principal Wang bribed me with money to get you to lower your vigilance and precautions, I have never been bribed! I thought that Principal Wang might look for someone else if he didn¡¯t look for me, so it would be better for me to come in and help you. One more friendly army is one¡­ In the beginning, someone was staring at me. I didn¡¯t dare to be too obvious. I wanted to remind you in the cafeteria, but they were all surveilling my actions. I was afraid that showing my cards would hurt you. They¡¯re the enemy army¡­¡±


    She patted her chest and said, ¡°I¡¯m really not from President Wang! I¡¯m a friendly soldier!¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Yes, I see.¡±


    Gu Taoyao chattered and said, ¡°In this world, except for you and me, everyone is fake! Xiao Xue Ji is also fake! Xie Wuan has never appeared on stage. I don¡¯t know the reason, but Principal Wang¡¯s setting is like this¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°He will not appear in this world.¡±


    Her tone was firm.


    Gu Taoyao asked curiously, ¡°Why are you so sure?¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes suddenly softened, and she said, ¡°I have known him for too long. If he appeared, I would recognize him at a glance. Principal Wang also understands this, and he would not take this risk.¡±


    At the same time, the audience collectively breathed a sigh of relief.


    After Lin Xinghe killed Principal Wang, everyone really had the idea of holding a celebration party for Lin Xinghe when she returned to the villain school, but after Lin Xinghe returned to the villain school, everyone discovered that her livestream was still going on.


    At the same time, the livestream of Gu Taoyao from the modern department also opened.


    Only then did everyone know that Lin Xinghe had never returned to the villain school, nor had she killed Principal Wang. This was all set up by Principal Wang.


    The hearts of everyone were hanging in their throats, especially after seeing their own faces in the livestream. Everyone shouted that Principal Wang was cunning, for fear that Lin Xinghe would fall here by accident.


    Until now, there were no chat messages.


    ¡¾I was so scared that my heart almost stopped. ¡¿


    ¡¾Principal Wang is so cunning, if it weren¡¯t for SL¡¯s wit, her success would have fallen short! ¡¿


    ¡¾However, the current situation is not optimistic! According to the layout of the cafeteria just now, except for Gu Taoyao from the modern department, the NPCS are basically equal to all villains. Assuming that everyone¡¯s settings are the same as ours, that is, they have gathered the force values ??of the four departments, even if the leader can ban the small range of fantasy and xianxia skills, but don¡¯t forget, it only works within a certain radius. After they figure out the leader¡¯s own skills and props, the whole ancient department will become the main force. Gu Taoyao¡¯s skills are not worth mentioning. ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s really fucked up. ¡¿


    The barrage began to curse eighteen generations of Principal Wang¡¯s ancestors.


    The relaxed atmosphere suddenly became dignified again.


    Gu Taoyao also considered this and said worriedly, ¡°Now that the whole school is our enemy, what should we do?¡±


    When the words fell, there were already many figures behind the two of them. Those who rode brooms, those who held swords, those who stretched themselves and could fly, and those who rode flying mounts approached menacingly, and everyone held weapons in their hands.


    In the dark night, everyone¡¯s eyes shone like that of wolves.


    Gu Taoyao almost couldn¡¯t sit still and had to hug Lin Xinghe¡¯s waist tightly.


    Even though at such a critical moment, an inappropriate thought still appeared in Gu Taoyao¡¯s mind ¨C crying, the waist of my deskmate is so soft.


    The waist is so soft, the face is so sweet, but it has a reassuring feeling.


    Hugging her waist was as if hugging a bright light, those flustered, tense, and restless emotions all disappeared into nothingness.


    Gu Taoyao showed a very idiotic expression.


    The atmosphere of the audience suddenly became less dignified.


    ¡¾? ? ? ¡¿


    ¡¾I think Gu Taoyao took Xie Wuan¡¯s place. ¡¿


    ¡¾CP fans feel that Gu Taoyao should be represented as the absent Xie Wuan. ¡¿


    ¡¾To be honest, I also want to hug SL¡¯s waist and then flee to the ends of the earth together, it¡¯s too romantic. ¡¿


    ¡¾I was a little worried at first, but now that I think about it, SL must be fine. ¡¿


    ¡¾It¡¯s all over, SL must be fine! ¡¿


    ¡¾Everyone, gather together to watch the livestream! Bring your phone! Let¡¯s save SL too! ¡¿


    ¡¾Right! I agree! SL has done so much for us, we can¡¯t always be spectators, we have to stand up! ¡¿


    ¡¾Didn¡¯t SL demonstrate it to us in the Xianxia examination room? There are so many of us, we can do it too! ¡¿


    ¡¾Classmates! Let¡¯s dig through the core of the villain school world together! ¡¿


    ¡¾Good! ¡¿


    ¡¾Come on! ¡¿


    ¡¾Fucking dig! ¡¿


    ¡¾Fight for the leader! ¡¿


    ¡¾Fight for freedom! ¡¿

 CH 186.2

    Countless messages that responded to the call filled the entire live broadcast room densely.


    Everyone gathered on the field, held an emergency meeting to dig through the center of the earth, and quickly selected the excavation site ¨C the field itself. Immediately, the Xianxia Department took the lead to perform their own immortal arts, and the students from the Fantasy Department followed closely behind. They released their skills one after another.


    In an instant, the large green field exuded dazzling light waves of various colors.


    Dirt mounds rose up, almost covering the blue sky.


    The same went for the villain school on the other side.


    It was just that all the force on the other side rushed towards Lin Xinghe, who was hovering on a small magic broom.


    Lin Xinghe had no choice but to land quickly, turn on the props that prohibited magic and immortal arts, escape the crowd¡¯s attack, and run wildly on the main road of the villain¡¯s school.


    Even if her props were turned on, they weren¡¯t omnipotent after all, and they couldn¡¯t ban the skills of students from the ancient department who could use qigong.


    The students from the ancient department were about to catch up with Lin Xinghe and Gu Taoyao in a blink of an eye.


    She said to Lin Xinghe, ¡°Go quickly! I can hold on for a while!¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Are you an NPC in this world, or did you come in as an examinee?¡±


    Gu Taoyao said, ¡°NPC!¡±


    Lin Xinghe knew Gu Taoyao was lying as soon as she heard it, grabbed her hand, and said, ¡°Enough people have been sacrificed in the past examination rooms. From now on, I will not allow anyone to sacrifice, everyone¡¯s life is precious and unique.¡±


    Gu Taoyao was so moved that she said, ¡°But I¡¯m poisoned, and running with you will only drag you down¡­¡±


    As if thinking of something, Lin Xinghe suddenly took out the dog¡¯s head from the portable space and put it on Gu Taoyao.


    ¡°Jiuge¡¯s shield is for you, protect yourself, I will come to save you.¡±


    Lin Xinghe put away the props.


    Gu Taoyao disturbed the students in the ancient department by singing with a mermaid¡¯s voice.


    Lin Xinghe rode on the magic broom and quickly evacuated.


    At the end of the main road, there was a long bridge leading into the school with neatly arranged street lamps on both sides and a tumbling river on both sides of the long bridge. It was Lu Qin who brought her in on the first day she entered school. She sat on the sightseeing bus. The sky was dark in the middle of the night, and she didn¡¯t take a closer look at the river under the long bridge. She only remembered that it was dark and bottomless.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s mind was spinning rapidly.


    This was another villain school world created by the system. It was of the same nature as the xianxia world. As long as she could break through the edge of the world, she could leave and enter the real system.


    Her body was not like the body of hers from the xianxia world, and she didn¡¯t have any power to smash through the center of the earth.


    It was just that the barrier of each world was different, and the edge of the world of the villain school didn¡¯t need to be smashed through the center of the earth.


    She came to the villain school, and there was an untouchable barrier outside the school gate.


    The villain school was just a small world, and the map likely wasn¡¯t as big as the previous examination room.


    She could give it a try, but it was impossible for her alone to break the barrier.


    She needed help.


    Where could she find help?


    Right now, the group of people in the school had a very clear goal of killing her, and they had motivations to do so. Unlike in other examination rooms before, where she could find ways to wake them up and let them stand in the same front as her, against Principal Wang.


    Principal Wang suffered from the previous examination room. These NPCs in the villain school may not be so easily awakened.


    Lin Xinghe flew down the long bridge on a magic broom.


    Suddenly, her gaze froze.


    There were a lot of freshwater fish in this river that few people came to, big and small, rough and muddy, and mainly crucian carp. She didn¡¯t know if President Wang liked to eat crucian carp, but they were innumerous in the river.


    Lin Xinghe looked at the crucian carp in a daze.


    At this moment, a sharp wind blade blew.


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s body had already reacted to dodge. She turned over elegantly and rode the magic broom to avoid the oncoming wind blade. She took a closer look, and it turned out that a classmate from the Xianxia Department was catching up.


    He didn¡¯t even say a villainous monologue. His eyes glowed fiercely, and he launched a fierce offensive again.


    Lin Xinghe dodged again and again and was forced to the bank of the river, with no way out. While breathing slightly, as far as her eyes could see, many students from the Xianxia Department and the Fantasy Department came one after another. There was also a row of students from the Ancient Department squatting on the long bridge.


    Look at that posture, it seems that as soon as she used the props, she would immediately jump off.


    There was even one who was wiping his long sword, looking at her with a look of sternness in his eyes.


    Perhaps Principal Wang explained that villains could die because of talking too much. Many students who besieged her didn¡¯t have any speeches about the appearance of the villains. Except for the first Xianxia student who rushed over, the rest of the students also engulfed her like a tide.


    No matter how fast Lin Xinghe¡¯s body reacted, she couldn¡¯t withstand the attacks of so many people, let alone physical attacks.


    She could only take out props to invalidate all non-physical attacks.


    The magic broom on her body didn¡¯t work either.


    Those who were originally hovering in the air also immediately fell to the ground.


    The group of ancient students squatting on the long bridge immediately jumped down and landed precisely in front of Lin Xinghe.


    They drew their knives neatly.


    At this moment, one of the knife-wielders turned in the opposite direction and pointed at the others.


    He stood in front of Lin Xinghe.


    He said loudly, ¡°You do what you want to do, and leave this person to us to deal with!¡±


    When the voice fell, another group of people came from afar. Compared with the students who said nothing and started to kill, this group of people seemed much friendlier. They rushed forward one after another, blocking the murderous knife light.


    To Lin Xinghe, they were all unfamiliar faces.


    They seemed strange but somehow very familiar.


    She said in amazement, ¡°You are¡­¡±


    In the shadow of swords and swords, they declared their names.


    ¡°Miss Huo, I am Mayor Jia!¡±


    ¡°Boss, I¡¯m Xiaowan! That migrant worker who aspired to reach the pinnacle of ghost life!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Nina, a robot who debuted together in the city of machines!¡±


    ¡°I am the Lord of the Mermaid City.¡±


    ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m Xuanxuan!¡±


    ¡°I am Haywood, your agent robot.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Qin Yan.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡­¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyes were slightly red, and something fluttered in her chest. It was at this moment that she fully understood why the director of the Interstellar Federation Bureau had always told her to rely on the strength of the masses.


    It was never a single person who could save the world. Only when everyone worked together to fight against the enemy could they usher in the final dawn.

 CH 187.1

    Lin Xinghe took a deep breath.


    She quickly grabbed a crucian carp about two palms long from the river and immediately took out a cold metal jar from her personal space, which contained a snow mountain rose.


    In the Alpine Rimerose exam room, the hadal ogres fed humans with his heart so that human beings transformed into hadal ogres and became extremely powerful, with the ability to call wind and rain.


    What if she fed an alpine rimerose to the crucian carp?


    She broke the rimerose with her hands and stuffed it into the fish¡¯s mouth bit by bit.


    The head of the crucian carp slapping on the shore suddenly doubled in size, and the head of the fish turned the white and blue color of the head of a deep-sea giant, but the body of the fish remained unchanged.


    Halfway through the feeding, the head of the crucian carp grew several times. After feeding on the whole thing, the crucian carp seemed to have mutated. The lower half of its body looked thin and small, but the top looked like the small claw of a fish head.


    The fish¡¯s eyes also changed from black to white and blue, so big that they seemed about to fall out of the eye sockets at any time, trembling.


    When the crucian carp landed on the shore, there was no water. Under the condition of extreme water shortage, the mouth opened and closed, a mouth so wide that it could easily fit a 100kg adult with loose meat.


    There seemed to be something about to come out of its throat.


    Lin Xinghe felt a powerful force.


    She took a few steps back and hurriedly retracted her prop.


    It was also at this time that the mouth of the fish head opened to the extreme.


    Lin Xinghe shouted, ¡°Get out of the way!¡±


    The people fighting on the sea also felt threatened, stopped fighting one after another, and retreated to the two sides. It was too late. Quickly, an invisible shot blew out from the mouth of the crucian carp, passing by the river surface, and pushing waves up to ten meters high.


    After blasting once, the fish head geared up for the second shot.


    Lin Xinghe was overjoyed and said, ¡°You try to stop them, I¡¯ll break the barrier using the giant fish cannon!¡±


    ¡­Giant fish cannon?


    Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on the head of the big crucian carp on the shore that seemed to have mutated genes.


    Lin Xinghe didn¡¯t have time to explain too much. The huge waves started, wiping away countless fish.


    She quickly took out a large bucket from the portable space, rode on the magic broom that could be used again, caught the fallen fish with lightning speed, and then flew to the school gate.


    Seeing that they could use magic, some students hurried to follow.


    ¡°Your opponent is me.¡±


    ¡°As long as I live, don¡¯t even think about stepping over me.¡±


    ¡°Your opponent is still me.¡±


    ¡°Brothers and sisters! Buy time for Lin Xinghe!¡±


    ¡°Our bodies are the strongest walls for all the wandering souls trapped here!¡±


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be afraid of death! The death of an NPC is not a real death!¡±


    One after another, students fell down.


    Their bodies were piled up inside the cyberpunk school gate that Principal Wang was proud of, building a towering wall of flesh and blood. The students who were still alive stood on the ¡°high wall¡±, brandished their weapons, and shouted¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Respect the incomparably precious life! Respect the invincible and precious freedom!¡±


    At the same time, the students of the real villain school on the other side¡ª


    It was rare for Jiuge not to take care of his own hair, but he weaved a hard fire net, smashing all the dust that flew up.


    Leiting turned into a white electric drill and drilled into the ground over and over again under Fu Zhou¡¯s command.


    Holding his greatsword in his hand, Qi Qing also contributed his own strength.


    Everyone had only one goal¡ª¡ª


    Dig through to the center of the earth!


    All students cheered each other on.


    ¡°Come on! Dig to the bottom!¡±


    ¡°The last step!¡±


    ¡°Take back your own life and freedom together!¡±


    ¡°Come on, come on, come on!¡±


    ¡°We are with the sect leader!¡±


    And Lin Xinghe, who had already run out of the school gate, had successfully transformed 30 fish in the time that everyone fought for with their lives. At this moment, outside the school gate of the villain school, 30 giant fish cannons were neatly set up.


    The delicious crucian carp that lay on the dining table in the past turned into powerful weapons, scrambling to fire towards the barrier outside the school gate.


    Boom! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!


    The seemingly unbreakable barrier was crumbling.


    It was also at this time that Xie Wuan, who was unconscious inside the system after being attacked by Principal Wang, suddenly opened his eyes.


    The system was being disrupted internally.


    Principal Wang repaired it in such a hurry that he didn¡¯t have time to care about Xie Wuan at all.


    Xie Wuan clearly saw Lin Xinghe, who was destroying the barrier with giant fish cannons, through President Wang¡¯s projection screen inside the system.


    His eyes instantly softened.


    ¡­And hers did too.


    It was also at this time that Xie Wuan noticed that Lin Xinghe¡¯s hands holding the rimerose jars suddenly dropped them. There was unconcealable joy on her face, and her eyebrows lifted in joy.


    Xie Wuan recalled the past and suddenly realized one thing.


    He said in his heart, ¡°You can hear my heart, can¡¯t you? Nod if so.¡±


    Lin Xinghe on the projection screen nodded slightly.


    Xie Wuan: Ten seconds.


    As the words fell, Xie Wuan silently approached Principal Wang.


    Lin Xinghe shouted with all her strength: ¡°Students! Hold on for another ten seconds!¡±


    Everyone is counting down.


    ¡°Ten!¡±


    ¡°Nine!¡±


    ¡°Eight!¡±


    ¡°Seven!¡±


    ¡°Six!¡±


    ¡°Five!¡±


    ¡°Four!¡±


    ¡°Three!¡±


    ¡°Two!¡±


    Lin Xinghe used the last rimerose, and a total of fifty giant fish cannons fired the final blow at Principal Wang¡¯s final barrier.


    She said softly, ¡°One.¡±

 CH 187.2

    The students of the real villain school also dug through the last barrier at the same time.


    But at this time, the sky suddenly broke, and a ray of dawn from the horizon illuminated everyone.


    The barrier of the school gate shattered.


    The world no longer ran.


    All killing stopped.


    Schools of true and false villains were disappearing bit by bit as data.


    When the living world around them disappeared completely, all the students of the true villain school who were still alive appeared inside the system.


    At the same time, everyone also saw Principal Wang under Xie Wuan¡¯s sword.


    Lin Xinghe approached step by step.


    Everyone consciously made way for Lin Xinghe to walk.


    Finally, Lin Xinghe stopped in front of Principal Wang.


    Principal Wang slumped his shoulders, and his whole body showed an air of despondency, like a salted fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.


    Lin Xinghe asked Xie Wuan, ¡°You are the real creator of this system, right?¡±


    Xie Wuan hummed in affirmation.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°No wonder he didn¡¯t resist anymore. He knew that at the end of the road, resistance would be futile.¡±


    Xie Wuan, ¡°Well, I have regained the authority of the system, and he can no longer intervene.¡±


    Lin Xinghe suddenly frowned and said, ¡°I remembered everything.¡±


    Xie Wuan¡¯s eyes showed tenderness: ¡°I know.¡±


    The two looked at each other and smiled, and spoke in unison.


    ¡°I¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡­¡±


    The two paused, then looked at each other and smiled.


    Principal Wang, who was still like a salted fish just now, said angrily, ¡°Enough is enough for you. If you want to kill me, kill me quickly. What do you mean by throwing dog food at the last moment? I admit defeat, I admit defeat, you are amazing, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Hearing his condescending tone, Lin Xinghe suppressed her smile and said coldly, ¡°Admit defeat? You would do anything for your own benefit, and you don¡¯t have the slightest reverence for life. Is life in different planes not life? Do you want to die? No, the Interstellar Federation will let you know the fate of despising life.¡±


    She gave him one last look of disgust and looked away.


    Xie Wuan let go of Principal Wang.


    He said to everyone, ¡°Five minutes. When the time is up, I will let the system separate our consciousnesses, and everyone will return to their respective planes. You have five minutes to say goodbye.¡±


    The students who were still cheering immediately felt the sadness of parting.


    Everyone bonded along the way. Although it used to be a competitive relationship, now it was more of a comrade-in-arms relationship.


    Leiting had tears in his eyes.


    Breaking away from the novel world, Leiting could finally speak.


    He was also an NPC, but an NPC that was stuffed into the interplane mall by Principal Wang.


    His first sentence was to Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°Are we from the same plane?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji: ¡°No.¡±


    Leiting¡¯s second sentence was still to Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°Are you willing to date me online for the rest of your life?¡±


    Xiao Xue Ji, ¡°¡­Not very willing.¡±


    Fu Zhou waited for a long time and finally got Leiting¡¯s attention.


    Unexpectedly, Leiting¡¯s first words were, ¡°Damn it, you have ridden this boss for so long!¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡­Unfaithful son.


    Fu Zhou didn¡¯t bother to talk to him anymore. He and Jiuge belonged to the same plane, and both were citizens of RH18. The two of them didn¡¯t feel too sad. After saying goodbye to their classmates, they both looked at Qi Qing.


    Qi Qing had always been a loner, but through Lin Xinghe¡¯s last few live broadcasts, Fu Zhou knew that he was an old fan of Xie Wuan and Lin Xinghe.


    Now that parting was imminent, he stayed where he was, neither too close nor too far from the two of them, watching them quietly, still not saying a word.


    Neither Fu Zhou nor Jiuge bothered him.


    Lin Xinghe thought that she had a lot to say to Xie Wuan, but now that she actually met him, when they had the opportunity to be alone, she found that she didn¡¯t know what to say.


    Maybe it was because of the short five minutes, or maybe it was because they hadn¡¯t seen each other for too long.


    It was also at this time that Xie Wuan¡¯s heart sounded¡ª¡ª


    Would you like to meet me in reality?


    Lin Xinghe suddenly raised her head and fell into his gentle and focused eyes.


    ¡°I would,¡± she said.


    He seemed a little nervous and said, ¡°I live at No. 19 Lanxing Road, and my optical network account number is 0820666.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I remember.¡±


    Five minutes passed.


    Xie Wuan gave instructions to the system.


    The sweet-looking girl appeared in front of everyone and still replied with a mechanical voice¡ª¡ª


    ¡°Immediately unbinding consciousnesses.¡±


    ¡°The coordinates for help have been sent to the Interstellar Federation Bureau.¡±


    ¡°The Interstellar Federation Bureau has responded and is expected to arrive within thirty minutes.¡±


    ¡°No. 0001 Consciousness Bundle Released¡­¡±


    ¡°No. 0002 Consciousness Bundle Released¡­¡±


    ¡°No. 0003 Consciousness Bundle Released¡­¡±


    ¡­


    One after another, people disappeared.


    The system gradually returned to tranquility.

 CH 188.1

    RH18 star had big news recently.


    Wang Jianrui, one of the top ten richest people in the plane, was imprisoned for numerous murders in violation of the laws of the Interstellar Federation. The expose of his crimes sparked heated discussions throughout the universe.


    ¡¾It¡¯s too scary. I¡¯ll tell you how the immersive experience of his company¡¯s novels is so real, every time I go to play, I feel that the NPCs are very real, it¡¯s because they¡¯re all real people! ¡¿


    ¡¾He stole the consciousnesses of so many innocents? Where is his conscience? ¡¿


    ¡¾I heard that Wang Jianrui was not satisfied with just this. In addition to the novel immersive experience company, there is also a live reality show in the dark star field. In the end, it was overthrown by a powerful awakened NPC. For this reason, Wang Jiangrui signed a gambling agreement with the Dark Star Field, but in the end, neither of the two parties made any money, he went to prison, and owes a debt that could never be paid off in a lifetime¡­¡¿


    ¡¾I heard from the gossip that the Interstellar Federation Bureau has been eyeing Wang Jianrui for a long time, but they couldn¡¯t do anything and finally hired expensive foreign undercover agents¡­¡¿


    Said expensive foreign undercover agent was currently in the office of Luo Lun, Director of the Interstellar Federation Bureau.


    Luo Lun praised Lin Xinghe, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you this time, otherwise my two generals would have been lost.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°It is I who needs to thank Director Luo. Without you, I couldn¡¯t have gotten a new mecha.¡±


    Luo Lun replied, ¡°I saw it by the window, it was as beautiful as an expensive work of art.¡±


    Thinking of something, Luo Lun continued, ¡°This time Wang Jianrui¡¯s case is actually a bit of a pity. From a certain point of view, he is a genius. If he used his genius in a righteous way, his future would have been limitless.¡±


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s not like no one has tried to build a huge game planet, but he is the only one who has done it so successfully.¡±


    At this moment, someone knocked on the office door.


    Luo Lun: ¡°Come in.¡±


    Two tall men walked in.


    Luo Lun said, ¡°Come and thank your savior. Ms. Lin, these are the two undercover agents I sent in.¡±


    ¡°Hello, Student Lin.¡±


    The other agent coughed lightly and called out more familiarly, ¡°Long time no see, Lin Xinghe.¡±


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly. Although their appearances were completely different from when they were in the villain school, Lin Xinghe quickly guessed the one on the right, ¡°Fu Zhou?¡±


    He nodded and said, ¡°My real name is Saida, and I am an investigator of the Interstellar Federation Bureau.¡±


    Lin Xinghe looked at the one on the left.


    She knew that there was more than one undercover agent in the school, but she never guessed Fu Zhou would be one.


    She smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re Teacher Qin, right? Before I entered the competitive examination room, you gave me a hint and won me a chance.¡±


    He nodded and smiled back, ¡°My surname is also Qin in real life. Ms. Lin, your performance is very good. Would you consider joining our Interstellar Federation Bureau? We need talents like you very much.¡±


    Luo Lun coughed lightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to pay Ms. Lin¡¯s salary.¡±


    Lin Xinghe smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to rest for a while¡­¡±


    She exchanged optical brain accounts with Agents Qin and Saida and said, ¡°There will be a class reunion at 6:00 p.m. next Saturday, and the venue will be the Science and Technology Museum on the second floor of the central business district.¡±


    ¡°What class reunion?¡±


    Lin Xinghe closed her brain, walked to the door of the office, turned around, and waved to them. Her smile was still cute and sweet, ¡°Villain school, see you then.¡±


    Officer Qin and Saida looked at each other.


    Not long after, Lin Xinghe¡¯s mecha activated and left the Interstellar Federation Bureau as fast as a gust of wind.


    The two sighed.


    ¡°¡­Still the same style as back at the villain school.¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s just that the magic broom has turned into a mecha.¡±


    The first thing Lin Xinghe did when she returned to RH18 was to add Xie Wuan¡¯s optical brain account. She would chat with Xie Wuan in the optical brain every day. He mentioned earlier that they could met in reality, but Xie Wuan never brought it up after she came back, and she couldn¡¯t take the initiative to ask.


    In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and she was busy with work in reality, so the two of them didn¡¯t see each other.


    When she passed by Xie Wuan¡¯s house several times in her fancy mecha, she found that Xie Wuan¡¯s house was always brightly lit.


    She actually had an impression of Xie Wuan¡¯s home.


    Her own home wasn¡¯t too far away. Sometimes, when she got up early for work, she chose to walk by it.


    Xie Wuan lived in a small single-family building located in the most prosperous area of RH18.


    Before her Villain School experience, Lin Xinghe once curiously borrowed her friend¡¯s high-level authorization to check the identity of the owner of that single small western-style building. After all, owning a small western-style building on Lanxing Road, where every inch of land was expensive, was not just a matter of financial resources.


    Her friend told her, ¡°There lives a reclusive genius in the city, and he has countless patents. He developed the mental power enhancer that you have been raving about recently, but he is very low-key and doesn¡¯t care about fame and fortune. He doesn¡¯t even like to socialize.¡±


    After she heard about this, she didn¡¯t take it seriously and just sighed in her heart ¨C RH18 citizens were really all geniuses.


    Now, passing in front of that small western-style building, her mood was quite different.


    It was not only a small western-style building¡ªit housed the receiver of many of her complex emotions.


    This had never happened since she was born.


    Even though they had never met in reality, they experienced so much together in the villain school.

 CH 188.2

    In fact, she still had many questions in her heart, such as why the virtual character created by Xie Wuan looked exactly like her in reality. Another was how President Wang dominated the system when Xie Wuan was the creator.


    These questions, she asked Xie Wuan.


    Xie Wuan replied, ¡°I will tell you on the day of the party.¡±


    Lin Xinghe returned home at night and sent a message to Xie Wuan, telling him that she saw Fu Zhou and Teacher Qin today.


    Xie Wuan replied in seconds: I also saw them when I cooperated with the Interstellar Federation Bureau to close the case.


    Lin Xinghe felt that Xie Wuan might be a bit of a straight man. He didn¡¯t know what to reply when she said this. After all, he had no relationship experience,


    Just when Lin Xinghe hesitated, Xie Wuan sent her another message: Do you still remember our bet? I¡¯m about to fix the novel system, and we¡¯ll meet and fight next Saturday?


    Lin Xinghe suddenly felt that she was overthinking things, Xie Wuan might not have been emotionally moved by her. Maybe he really just wanted to beat her. Those gentle and focused affectionate eyes, maybe it was her own imagination.


    Lin Xinghe sighed: ¡­ Fine with me.


    Xie Wuan: Okay, it¡¯s a deal.


    In the blink of an eye, it was next Saturday.


    Lin Xinghe dressed up carefully and headed to the Science and Technology Museum.


    The person who took the lead in organizing the bureau was Qi Qing. Qi Qing was clearly socially anxious, but unexpectedly, he was good at organizing events. He settled the party venue and set up a group chat to inform most people. However, Qi Qing still didn¡¯t talk much. He only spoke about the content of the event, and it was very simple and neat.


    The Science and Technology Museum was somewhat reminiscent of the villain school. The sign-in desk at the entrance was divided into four departments: Modern Department, Ancient Department, Fantasy Department, and Xianxia Department. Above the columns of each department were the teaching buildings of each department. In addition to the four departments, there was also a column labeled Others for NPCs in the novel world to sign in.


    Next door stood a little girl with a bright and sunny smile, ¡°Please sign in and write down your real name after writing down your name in the world of the villain school.¡±


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Which department were you from?¡±


    The little girl was a little nervous, ¡°My name is Qiu.* I¡¯m not from any department. I¡¯m a part-timer invited by Sister Xia. I¡­ I¡¯m your fan. Can¡­ can you sign this?¡±


    The little girl added, ¡°Sister Xia is Qi Qing from the ancient department.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was really stunned.


    *T/N qiu = autumn


    Qi Qing was actually a girl in the real world!


    She glanced at it, and in the brackets behind Qi Qing, who had already signed in, was a rather feminine name ¨C Xiaxia.*


    *T/N xia = summer


    Everyone who came from RH18 and other planets, as well as the students from different planes who could only communicate via online video, were also shocked.


    ¡°Fuck! Boss Qi Qing is actually a woman!¡±


    ¡°The scene of him beating zombies with a greatsword on his back is vivid! Such a strong body! His serious face! He¡¯s a girl?¡±


    However, these words stopped abruptly after meeting Qi Qing himself.


    Many people couldn¡¯t help but chirp and chirp, ¡°Awww cute!¡± Dimplesl! Little round face! Sailor suit! About to explode from cuteness!


    Jiuge was also very interesting.


    As soon as he came in, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on his head.


    Jiuge was also a citizen of RH18. As a social animal who worked overtime all year round, he lost a lot of hair and was indeed balding a little, but despite this, he still had a very handsome face.


    Everyone stared at his face, not looking at his head with a tacit understanding.


    The arrival of Xilin surprised all the believers who once regarded her as their faith.


    ¡­Boss Xilin¨CXiao Xue Ji is actually a first-grade elementary school student! It really is a ¡°primary school chicken¡±!


    Lin Xinghe was also surprised.


    Xiao Xue Ji was very calm and said, ¡°I am experimental product number 0001 in the villain¡¯s school. Principal Wang¡¯s first experimental subject was me. Maybe it¡¯s because I have no parents or any relatives, and I live in an orphanage.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was so distressed, she took her hand and said, ¡°If you have no relatives, I am your relative. From now on, you will live with me, and no one will dare to bully you.¡±


    Xilinopened her eyes wide and asked, ¡°Really?¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded, ¡°Of course it is true. I will go through the adoption procedures tomorrow. Would you like to live with me?¡±


    Xilin nodded.


    Ling Xiran from a different plane shouted through video chat, ¡°Master, I want to enter your household too!¡±


    Leiting also shouted, ¡°I want it too! Xiao Xue Ji! Look at me! Look at me! I¡¯m in video window 65!¡±


    Window 65 squished itself to the front with great effort.


    In the video, Leiting was born pure and white. From the background, he looked like he was from the plane of cultivating immortals. He didn¡¯t look too old, just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.


    He shouted, ¡°Xiao Xue Ji! Look at me, look at me! Number 65! You wait for me! Although you are not of age, I am not of age either! I am willing to wait for you! Will you really not consider dating me online? I don¡¯t care about eternity!¡±


    Leiting, who didn¡¯t get a reply, quickly recognized Fu Zhou who entered the door.


    ¡°¡­Dad! Ask Xiao Xue Ji for me!¡±


    Fu Zhou: ¡°The last time you asked me to call you dad?¡±


    Lei Ting: ¡°No, you are the father.¡±


    Fu Zhou shook his head and went to ask Xiao Xue Ji.


    Fu Zhou told Lei Ting, ¡°Now, she just wants to study hard.¡±


    Lei Ting burst into tears, ¡°Then I will cultivate immortality!¡±


    Only a small number of people could participate in this party offline, since most of them were from different planes. That¡¯s why Qi Qing chose the Science and Technology Museum, which had a whole wall of floating videos and could interact with virtual people anytime, anywhere.


    In addition to the active Leiting, there were also many acquaintances who were communicating.


    The huge science and technology museum was very lively.


    No one noticed that there was a handsome man in a video window numbered 199 in the corner. He was very silent the whole time, almost blending into the background board.


    His eyes never left Lin Xinghe.

 CH 188.3

    He was very sensitive to Lin Xinghe¡¯s absentmindedness, even though she was happily chatting with the people around her, there was still a faint trace of tension in her eyes.


    This nervousness began to become visible to the naked eye after the man entered.


    But as he approached, the tension disappeared, the absentmindedness disappeared, and her face was full of joy.


    The man lowered his eyes slightly.


    Qiu was looking for missing and filled-in names, and she quickly noticed the man numbered 199 in the corner.


    She went over to ask, ¡°Sir, you haven¡¯t signed in yet, can you please sign in? I need to make statistics here.¡±


    He asked, ¡°Is that someone from your plane?¡±


    Qiu said, ¡°Are you referring to Lin Xinghe?¡±


    ¡°Mm.¡±


    Qiu said, ¡°She is amazing! She is the most powerful diplomat on our planet! There has never been a failure in her diplomacy!¡± Qiu talked endlessly about Lin Xinghe¡¯s past deeds but did not notice that the man¡¯s eyes became more gentle. At the end, she slapped her head and said, ¡°I almost forgot, which department are you from? Or an NPC? What¡¯s your name? You haven¡¯t signed in yet.¡±


    He said, ¡°My name is Xiaopu.¡±


    Qiu recorded it and said, ¡°Which department are you from?¡±


    However, as soon as he finished speaking, the man named Xiaopu looked deeply at Lin Xinghe in the distance again. Before he could say anything else, the video window disappeared.


    Lin Xinghe actually saw Xie Wuan for the second time. The first time was when she asked her friend to check the ID photo on the file of the owner of the little house.


    Probably due to fate, there were so many people in the villain school, but their names were exactly the same whether they were in the villain school or in the real world.


    Xie Wuan¡¯s appearance in the real world was similar to that of his character from the villain school. They were both the type of immortal who could only be seen from a distance and not be touched. It was just that in reality, he didn¡¯t go out often, and his skin was fair, which added to his aloofness and dignity.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Why did you come so late?¡±


    Xie Wuan lowered his voice and said, ¡°I fixed the novel system.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was slightly taken aback.


    ¡°Then?¡±


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Do you remember our bet?¡±


    Lin Xinghe nodded.


    Xie Wuan: ¡°Connecting our optical brains, we can enter the novel system, Let¡¯s go?¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°¡­now?¡±


    Xie Wuan nodded.


    Lin Xinghe felt more and more that she fantasized some things that she shouldn¡¯t have. Xie Wuan had waited for her for so long to decide the winner. Before leaving the system, he asked her if she would like to meet him in reality. There was no mention of dating¡­


    Lin Xinghe looked at his overly good-looking eyebrows and eyes and said with a half smile: ¡°Since it is a bet, witnesses are needed. Most people are present now, so let them be witnesses.¡±


    Xie Wuan was a little hesitant.


    Lin Xinghe asked, ¡°Is it not possible?¡±


    Xie Wuan said again, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible, if you think it is possible, it is also possible.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°It¡¯s possible.¡±


    ¡°Then it is.¡±


    Lin Xinghe was about to share this with everyone and said, ¡°Please bear witness to our bet.¡± She tilted her head and asked Xie Wuan, ¡°Our original bet was to fight, and whoever lost would become the other¡¯s figurine, right? Now making someone into your figurine violates the law, so let¡¯s change the condition?¡±


    Xie Wuan asked, ¡°What do you want to change?¡±


    Lin Xinghe replied, ¡°Whoever loses will be the other¡¯s slave for a period of one year.¡±


    Xie Wuan was very talkative and said he had no opinion.


    Lin Xinghe said, ¡°The data has not been deleted, right?¡±


    Seeing Xie Wuan nod his head, she continued, ¡°As far as our first character set in the world of xianxia is concerned, I won¡¯t take advantage of you. You can use any characters including and after that, but props are prohibited.¡±


    Lin Xinghe thought carefully.


    Xie Wuan agreed with her on everything.


    The two were connected to the optical brain and projected in the air.


    Lin Xinghe entered the novel system again. This time, it was Xie Wuan¡¯s exclusive customized arena.


    Lin Xinghe sank into her dantian and found that the unique spiritual power belonging to the world of xianxia had returned. She said to Xie Wuan, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s decide the winner!¡± As soon as the words fell, she sacrificed her spiritual weapon and ran towards Xie Wuan.


    Unexpectedly, Xie Wuan did not move, nor did he fight back.


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°You¡­¡±


    Xie Wuan took half a step back, cupped his hands, and said, ¡°I lost.¡±


    Lin Xinghe: ¡°What?¡±


    Xie Wuan said, ¡°I have known you since a long time ago. You would wake up early six days a month and then pass by my door. This novel system and its virtual system came from the inspiration you brought to me. It was originally a semi-finished product and was later stolen


    ¡­Later I knew that you were going to be an undercover agent, I hacked into the system of the Interstellar Federation Bureau, followed you in, and wanted to help you, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be something I created in the end¡­¡±


    He seemed a little nervous, coughed lightly, and suddenly brought out the bouquet of medicinal flowers in his hand, ¡°This is the bouquet you gave me before, and I have kept it carefully. I have always wanted to give you a bouquet too¡­¡±


    He snapped his fingers.


    A rose bloomed at Lin Xinghe¡¯s feet. Immediately afterward, roses formed a flower path, blooming from under her feet, and the entire arena slowly turned into a huge bouquet of red roses.


    He added, ¡°Whether it¡¯s as a figurine or a slave, I¡¯m willing to bet and admit defeat¡­¡±


    He had a bouquet of brightly colored roses in his hand and handed it to Lin Xinghe.


    ¡°I swear in the name of the empire, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I fell in love with you at second sight. No matter what kind of you you are, you make me fall deeper in love with you. Are you willing to share a love with me that would end only if the cosmos exploded?¡±


    Lin Xinghe froze in place.


    It wasn¡¯t until Xie Wuan¡¯s inner voice sounded that she suddenly came back to her senses.


    ¡­Why didn¡¯t she agree? Are my roses too tacky?


    ¡­But I did some research, and roses are a must-have weapon for a successful confession.


    ¡­So nervous.


    ¡­Is there something wrong with the love confession that took me fifteen days to write?


    ¡­Oops, forgot that she can hear me!


    Lin Xinghe¡¯s chest was instantly filled with indescribable warmth, and her emotions that had been tense for many days all turned into a sweetness that pierced her heart at this moment. The fragrance of roses was strong, and her heart was pounding. She felt like her whole vision was pink and soft and warm with love.


    She took the bouquet of roses and said softly, ¡°I am willing.¡±


    -END-
