Looking at the distant figure of Sima Changfeng, Lufeng clutched his painful chest and let out a long sigh: "Hoo~"
This time, Lufeng had truly wagered his own dignity. If it weren't for Tree Fork's help in delaying the time, things would have ended badly. Remembering the moment he was kicked, Lufeng felt incredibly weak. He recalled Director Hu's words at their farewell: to protect others, one must first have the strength to do so.
"Brother~ are you okay?" Murong Xiaoxiao asked with concern.
Lufeng waved his hand and looked at Wang Xiaojing, asking, "Who exactly is Sima Changfeng? I've fought countless times but have never encountered someone so terrifying. Damn it, he's simply not human. If I weren't a bit stronger, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand up..."
Listening to Lufeng's complaints, Wang Xiaojing felt a twinge of sympathy: "Lufeng, your intelligence really worries me. Knowing you're not capable yet still seeking trouble—are you pretending to be foolish or are you genuinely foolish? But your foolishness is endearing. What you did was right... Xiaoxiao, can I say something 'black pineapple' to your brother Lufeng?"
Wang Xiaojing spoke with care, first scolding Lufeng before giving him a sweet compliment, leaving Lufeng speechless and at a loss for words.
Murong Xiaoxiao was taken aback: "What is 'black pineapple'?"
Wang Xiaojing smiled slightly: "Your brother Lufeng understands!"
"This... that... it's that... you know!" Lufeng explained helplessly.
"I don't understand!" Murong Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Just then, news came through the team channel that Gao Chao and the others had returned, which allowed Lufeng to change the subject: "Uh~ it's a long story; let's talk about it later. Gao Chao is waiting for us at Chai Jin, let's hurry up~"
...
Meanwhile, after Qiu Han, Qin Shou, and Gao Chao returned to Songyang Academy, they were once again captivated by the scenery of Songyang Academy. After fiddling around for a while, they finally found the photo and video functions in the settings and began taking selfies one by one.
“Qiu Han, come here and take a picture for me. I’ve never been to Songshan in real life, so I can take a few this time and post them online. It’s going to be awesome!” Qin Shou sat on the Welcoming Pine and waved at Qiu Han.
“Click!”
“Let me see how it turned out?” After taking the photo, Qin Shou excitedly ran over to Qiu Han. When he saw his picture, he felt it was slightly lacking but confidently said, “Hmm, not bad. Ten million pixels really are impressive. After I edit it a bit later, I’ll look super cool!”
“Help me take one too! I’ll upload it online and then download it to print and send back home!” Qiu Han said as he ran over to the side of the Welcoming Pine.
Watching these two quirky teammates, Gao Chao shook his head: “Qin Shou, Fourth, can you not be so silly? Don’t take selfies everywhere you go, okay? Qin Shou, no matter how many selfies you take, you can’t shake off that ‘beast’ aura. Come on, let me take a few pictures first; I’ll show you some super cool poses!”
After saying that, Gao Chao pulled Qiu Han up and climbed onto the Tree Fork of the Welcoming Pine.
“Damn!” Qiu Han and Qin Shou both raised their middle fingers simultaneously.
“How about we take a group photo first?” Qiu Han suggested.
Gao Chao shook his head: “No, no, no! Last night I practiced for a long time under Teacher Aoi’s guidance. I played for an hour and shot off billions of bullets in the air; isn’t that amazing?”
“You’re awesome!” Qiu Han and Qin Shou both gave him a thumbs up.
Gao Chao smiled nonchalantly and continued, “So today I’m not looking my best. Let me rest for a bit. Once the boss arrives, I’ll be back to my charming self—looking great and turning heads.”
As he spoke, Gao Chao stood up, waved his sleeves, and continued to daydream: “Once I recover my captivating boyish face that drives countless boys and girls wild, then I’ll consider whether or not to take a picture with you, ‘beast’ and brooding guy!”
"Sister Ni!" Qiu Han and Qin Shou simultaneously complained.
Gao Chao was unconcerned and wanted to turn around to pose for a photo, but he happened to see Lufeng and the others. First surprised, then overjoyed, he exclaimed, "Oh, dear boss, young lady, when did you arrive? You have no idea; I was almost overwhelmed by the intelligence of Qin Shou and Fourth!"
Lufeng shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Your 'howitzer' is impressive, with billions of bullets!"
"Heh heh, it's just average!" Gao Chao replied awkwardly.
"Pfft~" Wang Xiaojing couldn't help but burst out laughing, then suddenly turned serious and scolded Gao Chao and the others, "Did I invite you here to play games? Or did I invite you to take photos?"
Lufeng was stunned and didn't understand what Wang Xiaojing meant: "What do you mean?"
Gao Chao was also a bit confused: "Are you asking us to play games? That's not good. Although I can last long in the dormitory, in public, I might get nervous and jam the gun. What if I can't shoot a single bullet?"
At that moment, Wang Xiaojing realized she had misspoken. Trying to suppress her anger, she knocked on Gao Chao's head forcefully: "Your intelligence is making me anxious. With a teammate like you, there’s no future for us; you should just quit!"
"Ah~ No, no, young lady, I know I was wrong!" Gao Chao quickly pleaded for mercy.
Wang Xiaojing smiled wickedly: "Did you make a mistake? How would I not know? Tell me what you did wrong."
"I was wrong; I was wrong everywhere. Whatever you say is wrong is wrong!" Gao Chao said with great awareness.
Seeing Gao Chao so pragmatic, Lufeng couldn't help but smile. He remained silent, adopting the same attitude as everyone else—watching the show. No one wanted to provoke Wang Xiaojing; at this moment, she was everyone's nightmare—whoever spoke would get shot down.
Gao Chao felt that this 'lower limit' was not challenging and found it very boring: "You're not wrong, it's my fault. Honestly, after you all went to West Lake for so long, how come you're still at level 19?"
Gao Chao shook his head helplessly: "Well, you should ask 'Beast' about that!"
Qin Shou didn't expect Gao Chao to throw him under the bus. Seeing Wang Xiaojing looking at him, he could only say indignantly: "Speaking of which, it makes me angry. I met a new Sister Paper on the way to West Lake with Second Brother and Fourth. I wielded my long knife, bravely cutting through obstacles and fighting monsters, and had to help her level up, teaching her how to use skills for normal weak point attacks. It took me several hours, and when we passed by West Lake Wishing Tree, I realized that she was actually a man."
"What the hell? Can't you tell the difference between men and women? Asking Heaven has already implemented identity verification to eliminate Transgender accounts!" Lufeng asked in confusion.
Gao Chao struggled to hold back laughter, covering his mouth as he said: "Haha~ You can't blame Qin Shou, that guy hid his gender and deliberately dressed like a woman. He really looked like a girl~ Haha~ I'm dying of laughter~"
Qin Shou was unfazed and continued: "But I didn't lose out; I still took him down!"
"Uh~" Murong Xiaoxiao was instantly stunned!
The tough Wang Xiaojing remained unfazed, hands on her hips, suppressing her urge to comment. Finally, she helplessly said: "It's not scary to face a god-like opponent; what's scary is having pig-like teammates. Not being able to tell men from women truly makes you a 'beast'!"
Lufeng was also taken aback: "Qin Shou, your taste is getting heavier! Looks like I need to stay away from you in the future!"
Qin Shou felt wronged; while Wang Xiaojing could misunderstand him, he couldn't let Lufeng misunderstand him. Otherwise, how would he survive? He quickly explained: "Ah, boss, don't get me wrong; it was my long knife handle that took him down... Qiu Han, help me explain!"
