Volume 1, Chapter 36: Fake Sales Figures, How Embarrassing

During the time Xiao Qu was sending the message, not only the few people in the studio but even the online trolls watching the spectacle were stunned.

Only then did Li Ke manage to calm himself somewhat. He furtively glanced around and, seeing that he had not attracted too much attention, nodded again and sat down.

The mecha had somehow returned to operating condition. What surprised Marlan even more was that the strength of the opponent’s attacks had dropped considerably—and continued to decline as time passed.

When had An Ruoran already entered each of their hearts, making her presence feel so natural and inevitable?

“My ex-boyfriend,” I blurted out. I dared not continue locking horns with him, because I knew that I seemed incapable of winning against Ye Hansheng. I lost every time. Unless he willingly compromised, I had no chance of victory.

Although Chen Yun’s injuries were severe and his appearance was too painful to look at, he had suffered no internal damage; they were all merely external wounds. As Zhentian treated him, Chen Yun’s consciousness gradually returned, though his mind remained in a state of chaos.

On the day we returned to Tong City, Mo Youting once again came to pick us up in his ostentatious manner. This time, however, he was at least a little more restrained and had changed to a relatively ordinary car.

The ministers swarmed into the residence behind Li Shimin. The maids and matrons inside panicked and hastily prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

“As long as you don’t blame me, that’s all that matters. Can we still be friends in the future?” Wang Qi’s words left me stunned for a moment, but I eventually nodded and said that we could. I did not know whether we would ever have a chance to meet again. Perhaps once I returned to Jade City, we would never contact each other again.

Su Nan watched Zheng Zha’s foot come flying toward him, with no time at all to dodge. He could only clasp both hands behind his head and neck, lowering himself slightly.

“Ten years ago, the World Health Organization classified this virus as Biological Safety Level Ten. AIDS is only Level Four, while SSR is Level Five—and this is Level Ten. In other words, anyone infected is beyond saving. If it spreads on a large scale, humanity itself could face extinction.”

“Junior Sister Ling, how is the situation?” After Shen Qishan finished speaking, his gaze turned toward a figure not far from the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Chen Hao locked onto another piece of software for one of his specialized courses. He opened the tutorial and mechanically repeated the same routine, beginning his second subject’s “cheat-mode review.”

It was precisely because of this consideration that the enemy commander responsible for reinforcing the airport ignored Officer Hu’s orders and pursued the militia on his own. As a result, the enemy troops stationed near Dawa Airport were doomed to suffer.

However, the rough stones purchased this time were not meant to be cut open and sold for profit. They were to be devoured directly by the system in exchange for Void Points.

“You really can cure me? If you can, I’ll give you anything you want!” Bu Jianfeng exclaimed in tremendous excitement.

Jiang Fan did not resist Liu Fang’s actions in the slightest. He simply allowed her to take his hand and obediently let her guide it upward until his palm covered that fullness.

As their guide, he had to watch the weather carefully and lead the group out early at a brisk pace; that way, they could avoid being disturbed by the blowing sand. The camp cooks had already boiled the water. Zhang Sheng woke everyone, and after they ate and drank, they set off. In the desert, the most dangerous thing was traveling through ravines amid the drifting sand.

“Besides, we have nothing much to do during the summer vacation. Even if we can’t find my master, Zhu Bajie, it’ll still be nice to take a trip,” the Fatty added.

As more and more people gathered to watch, those youths grew bolder and bolder. Once they began to think of themselves as the center of attention, their enthusiasm only increased.
