Chapter 1153 - 512: Matchmaker, Are You There? I Need Someone Dead_2
——This version was spread by Lin Li, Bai Bufan tried to deny it but in vain.
The three of them arrived at the cafeteria, and although it was only eleven-thirty, the cafeteria was quite crowded with students in various school uniforms or casual clothes coming in and out.
Cafeteria: Don’t~ don’t be so fast~ so many~
Alright, not so much playing hard to get.
On the contrary, there was an electronic banner at the entrance of the cafeteria that was currently scrolling some welcoming messages for students from other schools to come and eat, as well as today’s menu offerings.
Lin Li stopped in his tracks.
Chen Tianming looked puzzled at Lin Li, who was still staring up at the electronic banner screen, and asked, bewildered, "What’s up?"
Lin Li frowned and pointed at the banner:
"’Lion’s Head (Pork)’? The Lion’s Head at Pingjiang Middle School’s cafeteria is made with pork? I came for Lion’s Head, why try to fool me with pig head? Isn’t that a shady cafeteria, a scam!
Can I complain? Where do I complain? Feels inferior to our Nansang Middle School, I recommend we rename our place Nansang City, Pingjiang County."
Chen Tianming was amused.
Even when picking a fight, I can’t say things like that.
The most important thing is, Lin Li’s voice was loud enough to instantly draw attention from students from other schools who first looked at the electronic banner and then turned their shocked gaze towards the direction of the voice.
Chen Tianming could sense that quite a few people had their gaze locked onto the emblem area on the school uniform in front of him.
"Class leader, you’re in charge——" Slightly sweaty, Chen Tianming tried to call for backup, but his words quickly ceased.
Because he realized Chen Yu Ying was not beside Lin Li.
Looking up, Chen Yu Ying was walking towards the cafeteria without looking back, even slightly accelerating, having already removed the winter coat of her school uniform and was holding it in her hand, revealing her sweatshirt underneath.
Chen Tianming: "..."
What a fast split.
At least BLG’s business cutting level.
"Nansang Middle School, long live!"
"Nansang Emperor, go for it!"
"Principal Nansang, loyalty!"
Chen Tianming deftly increased the distance between himself and Lin Li, imitating, and took off his coat.
Darn, I’m actually wearing my autumn uniform underneath.
"Lin Li, I’m begging you—hey, why did you take off your uniform too ☉_☉?"
Realizing he wasn’t wearing his own clothes at all, Chen Tianming looked at Lin Li in despair, only to find that Lin Li was now also wearing his own clothes, leaving him expressionless.
"Who are you? From South First Middle School? Good thing I’m from Nan Second Middle School." Lin Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Tianming before making a quick entry into the cafeteria.
Chen Tianming: "?"
Human?
Leaving Chen Tianming behind, Lin Li sought out Chen Yu Ying and approached while regrettably sighing in his heart.
Of course, he wasn’t just trying to act crazy; such craziness was too low-level. Lin Li had a reputation to maintain; he did this wondering if he could trigger some tasks.
From the Cultivation Realm’s perspective, he was visiting and training at a higher-level sect from a local sect, right?
Isn’t this a great occasion to trigger various tasks?
During the first round, the system wanted him to show hospitality, demonstrate the sect’s enthusiasm, so why not let him show the sect’s style during the semifinals, so Pingjiang Sect will look at Nansang Sect in a new light?
With the system not moving, Lin Li had to try moving himself.
One angle was the underdog challenging the big leagues—a disciple from a second-class sect daring to provoke a disciple from a first-class sect, ultimately igniting public fury! Eight top schools besiege Nansang’s peak!
This is indeed a crucial moment for protagonist emergence in a novel!
The second-class sect has no chance to fight back, the protagonist emerges at the last minute, shocking the upper-class sect amid sneers, but due to some absurd issues, although saving the day, it wasn’t complete, enraging some more vexing old Dengs, prompting forced departure from the sect for training, returning after leveling up in the next map and stepping all over the upper-class sect’s heads.
Even I’ve thought the script over, system say something?
"..."
The system used Water Splash Jump, but seemingly nothing happened.
Lin Li came up to Chen Yu Ying from behind, taking her place in the line and voluntarily taking the clothes from her hand.
Chen Yu Ying gave him an annoyed look.
Nearby came a conversation.
"What happened just now at the entrance?"
"No idea, some Nansang student was doing abstract art or something?"
"Nansang Middle School? Where’s that school from?"
"Oh, it’s from Nansang County, a top school too."
"Is the ’top’ part implying important or critical condition?"
"..."
Chen Yu Ying stared straight at Lin Li.
Everything was unspoken yet understood once again.
Lin Li lightly laughed: "Class leader, don’t let this gossip stop you from being proud of your school, even if Nansang Middle School were to stand opposite the whole world, I would side with it, I will never abandon or look down on my alma mater."
Chen Yu Ying also smiled gently, seriously inquiring: "Lin Li, the principal asked me to ask you, why does Nansang Middle School have to stand against the whole world?"
Lin Li: "Baby, tell the principal to mind his own business."
...
Having already wandered around the school, the three of them had no interest in going to the exam room early, plus the seating at the cafeteria wasn’t scarce, so they simply sat there for a while longer.
By one in the afternoon, the three of them headed to the exam room.
Actually, a one-hour window was still quite ample, but Lin Li wanted to try triggering tasks, so he needed to leave some time surplus.
As for Chen Yu Ying, she didn’t mind, going late would mean sitting with Lin Li here; going early, she could also look at the competition questions in the exam room.
