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 leapâ¦
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 couldnât 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 departmentâs 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 Qingâs livestreams.
Qi Qingâs 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 didnât study well or think of countermeasures at all. He couldnât 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, âDo 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.â
Before he finished speaking, she heard Xie Wuanâs heart whisperingââ
âHmph, a greatsword.â
At this time, Qi Qing replied, âThank you, but donât worry. Iâm very casual, practically a bystander to boot. Iâm not too good at talking because of my social anxiety; you guys can talk.â
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: âIf you have any doubts about me, you can ask, and I will answer honestly. Donât ask unnecessary personal questions, I have social anxiety.â
A few more moments later, he had something more to say, raised his head and said to the air: âStudents watching the livestream, donât be matchmakers. I only have my sword in my heart. I donât like Xie Wuan, and I donât like Lin Xinghe. Donât make up your mind, I have social anxiety.â
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 heartââ
âWell, Qi Qing is a good person.â
Lin Xinghe watched Qi Qingâs livestream before and knew he was a silent man whose one sole treasure was his greatsword. She really didnât 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.
âLin Xinghe!â
Lin Xinghe looked up and couldnât help being surprised.
It was Jiuge and Fu Zhou.
The two of them sat on Leitingâs 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, âYou guys came here sooner than I thought! I thought it would be at least the day after tomorrow. Where did you land?â
As soon as Fu Zhou landed, Leiting ran towards Lin Xinghe, happily circling around her, twisting his snakeâs head and proudly waving his goose wings, as if he was showing offâ
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 disguiseâhis 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 didnât agree, and lied saying that Xiao Xue Ji didnât 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 didnât love geese!
Leiting thought about it carefully. It made senseâXiao Xue Ji was a cat, and when a goose flapped its wings, it could be quite ferocious. Even a cat would be afraid!
He couldnât 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 wasnât 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 snakeâs 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, âLeiting broke through in this examination room, and now he can fly. It may be because of him missing Xiao Xue Jiâhe has grown a pair of white wings.â
Leiting: Ouch! Dad!
Fu Zhou: Donât ruin it now!
