Chapter 95 The First Crime of Hooliganism
The young foreigner's eyes lit up when he saw that she didn't immediately refuse.
He hurriedly took out the soup he had prepared beforehand, happily lifted the lid, and presented it with both hands.
A strange smell wafted into Pei Hening's nostrils. She looked at the dark, unidentifiable'soup' in the bowl and fell silent.
The foreigner's intense gaze was fixed on Pei Hening.
"Baby, be careful about what you put in your mouth."
A deep voice reached their ears.
The young foreigner was taken aback. When he looked up, he met a pair of phoenix eyes that were full of scrutiny and carried an undisguised warning.
Chu Xuange looked Pei Hening over and, seeing that she was in good condition, took her hand and led her outside: "Baby, we should go back."
Pei Hening didn't want to drink the soup either, so she conveniently accepted the offer: "Okay."
The young foreigner keenly sensed the man's aversion to his soup, and he chased after him, saying, "My soup is absolutely fine. You can't judge a book by its cover; it even adds attribute points!"
Chu Xuange glanced back at him, his dark eyes cold and sinister, looking at him as if he were a corpse.
The little foreigner got goosebumps and unconsciously stopped in his tracks. He had a premonition that if he chased after them again, things would probably end badly.
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Pei Hening asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xuange narrowed his eyes and said, "Next time you encounter this situation, just ignore it. Once you pay attention to them, those people will feel that they have an opportunity to achieve their goals."
Pei Hening thought about it and realized that was indeed the case: "I know, you got out of class quite early today. I thought your teacher was giving you extra training again."
Chu Xuange chuckled: "Lu En went to watch the game and didn't set any extra training content for me."
——
7 p.m. that evening.
Pei Hening used a chainsaw to kill monsters while wedging herself within the vehicle's protective range. After killing two flying monsters, she encountered a new one.
It's a monster I've never seen before. At first glance, it looks a bit like an enlarged caterpillar, and it moves by wriggling.
But it also looks a bit like a snake, with patterns on its body resembling snake prints.
Chu Xuange: "It's a snake. It can spray venom. Stay away from it. If the venom comes into contact with your skin, you will be poisoned and will need a specific antidote."
Spraying venom?
Pei Hening looked at the snake and couldn't help but rub his arms. How could there be such a thing?
"I see."
Pei Hening put away the chainsaw and returned to the vehicle's protective area.
"Recently, the variety of monsters has increased, and most of them are heat-resistant, such as those with characteristics of lizards, spiders, scorpions, sand pythons, etc. Most of them are poisonous, and the non-poisonous ones also have relatively high combat power."
Chu Xuange recalled the monsters he had killed over the past few nights and made a brief summary.
Why would someone survive on a highway by encountering so many nighttime monsters?
Pei Hening felt it was unnecessary.
Chu Xuange thought for a moment and explained, "There is a map where it is dark all day long, so there won't be as many restrictions on monsters at night."
Chat channel.
[Old Invisible Man]: New monsters are appearing more and more frequently. I opened seven monsters I'd never seen before today.
[ModoModo]: A newly appeared monster, especially the reptiles, whose venom is really strong and can corrode roads.
[ModoModo]: Speaking of which, the characteristics of highways are also very strange; the corroded areas quickly recover to their original state.
[Fairy Descends to Earth]: Information on the websites "Boxing Gym", "Magic Oxygen Bar", and "Brewing Factory" for sale.
[The Runaway Mermaid]: Here we go again? How many stations have you visited? @FairyDescendingToEarth
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: I don't know either, but having more friends means having more options~ I'll treat you to hot pot next time~ @Escaped Mermaid
[Shark Ten Years]: Sister, I want to eat hot pot too! Aren't I your friend?
[I've got enough money to bury you]: Next time I'll treat you to hot pot!
[C6]: What's the situation with the guy who scammed the NPC last time? Any news?
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: There's news! I'd almost forgotten about him if you hadn't mentioned it. He's been locked up and sent to the orange orchard.
[All things are empty]: Huh? Hahahahahaha.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: LOL, Sister Lemon, thank goodness you rescued me last time, love you~.
[The escaped mermaid]: So, why were you caught last time?
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Sigh
[I can bury you in money]: 50 copper coins.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Does talking about money hurt feelings? I was in the botanical garden when I complimented a succulent lady on how well her flowers matched a cactus lady's, and they called the police on me for indecent assault.
[Wu Ailian]: This girl has such a sweet tongue, yet she still has her Waterloo moments.
[I really can't beat him]: Hooliganism? Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
[Spicy strips with steamed buns]: How did Sister Lemon manage to catch you? Hahahaha.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: I signed more than a dozen guarantees that she would not do it again. I also gave her a book called "Code of Conduct for Species" to study. There is an exam at the end of the month. If she fails the exam, she will have to sit in the oranges.
[Lemon tree and lemon fruit]: weathered.jpg
[AAA God Doesn't Drive Tractors]: The new monsters are either highly poisonous or extremely strong. Be careful, don't die. So many people in our division have already died.
[Can't survive a bit]: I've tried it, the flesh of those monsters is inedible, it's poisonous.
[The young master smiled again]:???
[Resigned Little Sheep]: A true warrior.
[Not going to survive]: The vegetables I planted have all died from the sun, and there's less and less stuff in the box. I might not even have anything to eat in the end.
[God's Faithful Follower]: How did you deal with the monster? Did you rupture its poison glands? Why don't you try soaking it in a purifying potion and an antidote?
[Can't Survive Anymore]: Daddy! I'm poor! And the monsters don't have poison glands, it's just that their flesh is poisonous!
——
Twenty-eight days of survival on the highway.
As usual, Chu Xuange brought Pei Hening breakfast and talked to her. Only after seeing the car in the rearview mirror did he reluctantly hang up the phone.
Pei Hening had just finished breakfast when she received 3,657 gold coins from Chu Xuange.
[Princess Ningning]: The police actually let a bounty hunter lead the charge, I didn't even feel comfortable taking out my wallet, so frustrating.jpg
[Princess Ningning]: Bad thing! Bad thing!
[DripDrip]: Be careful, don't be stingy with vehicle repair cards.
[Princess Ningning]: Okay, baby, mwah mwah mwah mwah.
Seeing the temperature rising, Pei Hening reached up, grabbed her hair, and pinned it up at the back of her head with a hair clip before decisively unpacking the ice cream.
Even with the car's air conditioning, it wasn't very effective; it was just too hot, and she even considered cutting her hair off.
After finishing an ice cream, she finally felt a little better and was able to calm down.
She pulled out books she had borrowed from the library and made the most of her time to learn about these races.
She didn't want to unknowingly break any taboos when interacting with other races.
noon.
Pei Hening navigated to the school.
She and Chu Xuange arrived at almost the same time.
Today he was wearing the magic robe she bought for him, completely covered up, and he also wore his two usual swords at his waist.
"Baby, this is called being telepathic!"
When he looked up and saw Pei Hening, a smile appeared in his dark eyes. He quickly got out of the car and walked to her side.
Pei Hening, recalling her last assessment, was still a little worried: "Be careful later."
Chu Xuange grabbed her hand and rubbed it against his cheek: "I'll be careful, don't worry, baby."
Pei Hening withdrew her hand: "Let's go, don't keep Lu En waiting."
A hint of obvious regret flashed in Chu Xuange's dark eyes, but he knew that this was not the time to make a fuss; the assessment was the priority.
——
Pei Hening had just seen the bald little doll when she heard the sound echoing above the floating island.
"The trainees are in position and the assessment is about to begin. Spectators, please take your seats as soon as possible."
Three consecutive notifications were issued, and the information was effectively communicated.
The bald little doll looked up towards the assessment area: "Upgrade assessment? There's no class today, go see how the upgrade assessment is conducted."
As soon as she finished speaking, a magic circle appeared under Pei Hening's feet, instantly teleporting her away.
Pei Hening opened her eyes and found herself in the audience seats of the assessment area.
The area was already filled with living beings, mostly school teachers, with a few students occasionally scattered around.
While Pei Hening observed her surroundings, they quietly focused their attention on her.
'These are the students from West Asia?'
'She's actually human?! Has Sicily gone mad? Of all the geniuses out there, why take in a human?!'
'So, the century-old bet of Yul has come to a conclusion?'
"It's out! The Green Sprout Clan Monarch, Lord Mushroom, and Lord Feather Hole have all lost everything."
Pei Hening was unaware of their subtle misunderstandings. She sat obediently in her seat, next to Xixia, whose empty seat was next to her.
Then, the assessment began.
Compared to her assessment, Chu Xuange's upgrade assessment was more than twice as difficult.
It was far more exciting than her performance.
Pei Hening felt a chill for him. When she looked up, she saw Shuxiao standing in the corner with dark circles under her eyes, silently observing the situation in the assessment area.
On the other side, Xiao Yangren did not focus his attention on the assessment area, but instead quickly searched for human players.
He needs to find a way to get them to taste his soup and rate it.
Helian Ye sat in his seat, feeling a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, a sense of dread as if he were being watched.
That's strange...
[Makino Tatsuko] stared intently at the screen in the assessment area. Wow, this player is too strong. I wonder if I can recruit her to work for me?
She was 90% confident she could persuade him; everything she was doing was for the future of humanity. If this male player wasn't out of his mind, he would know what to choose.
[Falcon] and [Invincible Ice Cola] were also in the audience, looking for [A Dream].
After all, his previous remarks were hard to ignore.
Are you sure there are only nine Chinese players in the school?
Li Pangui's tone was much harsher than usual.
[Falcon] instantly thought of another possibility, his expression turning grim: "There's another possibility, the transfer of student spots."
Matsushita Kojiro's spot was transferred to Makino Tatsuko.
Although they had discussed privately that transferring student slots was unreasonable, it's very likely that Matsushita Kojiro has already lost his spot.
Pei Hening focused intently on Chu Xuange's assessment.
She would occasionally listen to the teachers sitting next to her discussing things.
"This student reacts very quickly; he may be able to complete the test within half an hour."
"No, at most 25 minutes. His strength is not a problem at all."
"He's a student of Rune, and that guy even made the difficulty level higher."
"Ruen is really daring; he breaks the rules every day."
"No one dares to question his violations, since those who can manage him are all busy with their own things. If you want to manage him, you need to be in the top seven of the power rankings this year."
"I'm not one of those perverts!"
No one who can hold a position at a school is simple; they are all geniuses among geniuses. However, there are differences between geniuses.
In the world of highway survival, there's no shortage of geniuses, and standing out from the crowd is incredibly difficult.
Pei Hening noted down their conversation. It turned out that the teachers also had a ranking system, and Lu En might be ranked seventh on that system.
She became curious. What about Sicily? Where was she in line?
Despite being taught by Sicily for so long, she still doesn't understand her strength.
But it is definitely not weak.
"Congratulations to the student for passing the assessment in 23 minutes and 39 seconds."
Pei Hening snapped out of her daze and turned her gaze over, just in time to see him looking at her. A smile curved her lips.
The spectators left in twos and threes, and soon a large area was empty.
Helian Ye noticed Pei Hening at this moment, and he got up and went to her.
A young foreigner stopped Helian Ye, saying awkwardly, "Hello, could you please do me a favor?"
Helian Ye looked at him but didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just help me taste the soup and give it a score of 1 to 10."
"I guarantee my soup isn't poisonous, you should try it."
As the young foreigner spoke, he took out the hot soup he had made and looked at Helian Ye with a face full of eagerness.
Helian Ye was initially quite looking forward to it, as he hadn't had a hot, normal meal in a long time.
But after looking closely at the soup, his expression froze. Could this stuff be drunk?
Helian Ye: "Take a sip first."
The little foreigner picked up the spoon, took a sip, and said, "See? It really isn't poisonous."
If his face weren't so pale, it would be somewhat convincing.
Helian Ye put his arm around the foreigner's shoulder and gave him a bad suggestion: "Kid, you've come to the wrong people. Even if Chinese players can't cook well, they eat pretty well. Putting aside the taste of your soup, the presentation alone will deter Chinese players. You should go find players from other countries first, especially Japan and South Korea. They're not picky; one even eats irradiated fish, and the other eats leftovers every day..."
The little foreigner suddenly realized what he meant and thanked him profusely: "Thank you, you are such a kind person!"
Helian Ye's eyes darted around. Was he a good person? Perhaps.
Hopefully they won't thank him too much.
Seeing that the foreigner had been fooled away, he went to Pei Hening's side in a good mood.
When he arrived, Chu Xuange also came out.
"Xuan Ge, don't you have class?"
Chu Xuange nodded: "The assessment was conducted ahead of schedule. I've finished the beginner course and there are no more classes for now."
Pei Hening asked in confusion, "Won't Lu En give you intermediate courses?"
She thought all teachers were like Sicily, filling their students' schedules with classes.
They might even take other courses in advance.
Chu Xuange: "Here, he applied to be my instructor for the next phase of the course. I have a few days of free time."
