Zhou Qingchang felt very complicated for a while, not because he noticed Cen Zhen’s hostility. After all, he came here to touch the tiger’s tail directly, so he was ready to be bitten back.
After the midterm, they have been paying close attention to Lian Yu and Cen Zhen. Whether from the perspective of personal curiosity or to maintain the order of the Tower and the White Tower, Zhou Qingchang and Qu need to do so.
But more often, their eyes are on Lian Yu, who is always more eye-catching, and the Sentinel also seems interested in being noticed.
Beside him, Cen Zhen is like a box containing pearls, quiet, dull, introverted, and peaceful. Sometimes it gives people an illusion that he is just a Guide randomly chosen by Lian Yu for comfort, but it is not entirely true to say that he is an ordinary Guide with better luck.
Zhou Qingchang found it a bit tricky because Lian Yu’s desire to perform and his concealment of information always made him feel that there was a bigger secret behind him, causing him to overlook the Guide beside him. After thinking about it carefully, Cen Zhen was also likely to be an unprecedented S-level physical Guide. With his spiritual body mutated and his physical level suddenly changed, he was also full of doubts.
After manipulating their game previously, Lian Yu straight-on made his and Qu’s terminals unable to operate for a week. Today, when he questioned them in person, Cen Zhen almost exposed his trump cards all out.
Zhou Qingchang seemed to understand what Cen Zhen meant by mentioning the notebook at this time. He and Qu felt that Lian Yu had a secret. He mastered the core code of the Tower system and could modify student information at will. It was worth being vigilant, but at the same time, was he, Zhou Qingchang, someone ordinary? How many Guides could find the slightest bit of information about his current research before they died, and how many Guides had any idea of how to work with that dense data? He had done many things that even professional research teams could not accomplish just by himself while studying in the White Tower.
Each of them has secrets. What is revealed is what you can and are allowed to know. Don’t be too curious, and don’t rely on your status and ability to over-peep into other people’s secrets. If you can’t help your curiosity and reach into the fog to explore, you will definitely regret it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lian Yu gets angry when he belittles Cen Zhen, and Cen Zhen gets angry when he provokes Lian Yu. He came here to find out the details and cause trouble, not here to eat dog food.
“I have a lot of notebooks under my bookshelf.” Zhou Qingchang’s face remained calm, and his smile deepened. “Which one do you mean?”
“Any one will do.” Cen Zhen’s voice returned soft, “I’m not very curious.”
“…” Zhou Qingchang suddenly laughed out loud, “Are you telling me not to be too curious? But you make me more curious, just like my terminal and Qu’s, and my notebook, how did you do it? How did you know?”
“Do you think you are the only genius in the world?” Lian Yu leaned half of his body on Cen Zhen’s shoulder, and his tone and words were full of arrogance and rebelliousness. Cen Zhen didn’t follow up. After all, not everyone is so shameless as to call themselves geniuses. He also believes that he is not a genius. He is just a transmigrator with strange luck. He got a book with spoilers, obtained an unusual identity, and met an indescribable person.
Lian Yu was pleased and high-spirited. Leaning on Cen Zhen no longer felt enough, so he gradually took his arm. “Besides, we didn’t do anything harmful. You may be curious, but there should be a limit.”
Zhou Qingchang smiled and shook his head, his attitude was vaguely a little yielding, “You can’t blame me for this. Can’t help that you already left a deep impression, right? An A+ suddenly became a D. Can you resist your curiosity?”
Cen Zhen could, but he was sure that Lian Yu couldn’t. Not only could he not, but this Sentinel would definitely kill the person who dared to show off in front of the King of Poser.
“If you are curious, you can ask me directly.”
“Will you tell me if I ask you?”
“No, I will find a reason to evade you.”
“So straightforward…”
“President, will you still tutor me?” Cen Zhen suddenly asked. He is interested in the idea. Exploring by himself would be slower than having someone teach him. He had originally thought about finding a tutor, but today Zhou Qingchang broke into the door himself, so there was no reason to let him go.
Zhou Qingchang was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and nodded when he saw that Cen Zhen was honestly sincere and serious. “Of course, but I have never taught students, and I don’t know how to teach. How about this, if you have any questions in the future, you are welcome to ask me at any time… The condition is that we should settle all grudges and stop messing with my terminal.”
This was his original purpose today, but he didn’t expect they’d circle back after all that talking.
Lian Yu glanced at Cen Zhen, and seeing that he didn’t speak, he nodded to Zhou Qingchang, “You passed. As for Qu, either he has the ability to unlock my lock, or let him come to negotiate with me himself.”
Hearing this, Zhou Qingchang smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line, and seemed to be very happy to see Qu get humiliated, “Okay.”
Back at the dormitory, Cen Zhen didn’t act polite to Zhou Qingchang. That night, he sorted out a whole page of a million whys, each with a number marked, and sent it to him. While waiting for the reply, Lian Yu threw a floating screen over, which showed the highlight clip of the aerial combat audition, and strikingly, the faces of Yao Jin and Pan appeared.
If the previous video of him and Lian Yu highlighted a gentleman’s battle and was full of excitement, then the theme of this aerial battle was perseverance and turning the table in adversity. The video was five minutes long, and four-fifths of it was Yao Jin and Pan being beaten, while the other side was provoking in various ways in the communication channel, playing the villain image very well; even the bystanders felt furious watching.
The protagonists are worthy of being the protagonists. No matter where they go, they can meet a few cannon fodders eager to be slapped in the face. The result of the game lived up to expectations. Yao Jin and Pan seized the opportunity to turn the tide and won the game with difficulty but beautifully, straightforwardly slapping the face of the boastful opponent.
“I also want this kind of artistic effect.” The best actor Lian Yu proposed his idea of what his next character design should be, but everyone knew that this was impossible. It is not easy to find such fools who look down on their opponent without thinking, not to mention their current popularity in the Tower and the White Tower. It would be nice enough if they did not get overly vigilant. Who dares to look down on them?
Cen Zhen used silence to indicate that he should go to bed early. Lian Yu slapped the table unhappily, deciding that if he was unhappy, he would make everyone unhappy. The next second, he forwarded the video to Hongxing and left a meaningful message: He is worthy of being S, see how famous he became throughout the Tower now.
He also sent a message to Fan: I heard that you are gay, and is the one below?
Finally, he left messages to Yao Jin and Pan respectively: Last night, I saw Pan/Yao Jin walking super close to an unknown Sentinel/Guide, and they behaved intimately. Who was that person?
“…” Cen Zhen witnessed the whole process of Lian Yu’s instigation. He sighed, “You are like a bitter old eunuch who likes to irritate people randomly.” “Old eunuch?” Lian Yu felt that this was not a good title. After all, the modifier in front was bitter. Cen Zhen received Zhou Qingchang’s reply and immediately concentrated on learning and blocked Lian Yu’s question. Lian Yu’s harassment was fruitless, so he went on the StarNet and looked up ancient history. Five minutes later, he suddenly pounced on Cen Zhen and pressed him directly from the chair onto the carpet. “You bastard, you dare to call me a eunuch!” Cen Zhen’s back head fell into Lian Yu’s palm, and before he could react, his lips were bitten. Since the Sentinel discovered this loophole, he never talked about kissing again and is no longer eager for the ranking. He turned to love biting him when he had nothing to do. Cen Zhen reached out to touch his lips, but his index finger got bitten again. The warm and soft tongue sucked on his fingertips, and it was inexplicably a bit sexy.
“You found out what eunuch means?”
“I didn’t, I just saw the word castration.” Lian Yu still felt so angry that he lowered his head to find Cen Zhen’s earlobe and pretended to bite it.
Cen Zhen quickly avoided it, “You are quite good at finding the key points.”
While the two were talking and playing with each other, the lion and the snow leopard came over. They first looked down on the two owners who rushed to steal their spot on the floor instead of sleeping on the bed or sitting on the chair, then they joined the cuddle synchronously. One sitting on the arm and the other on the leg. In the blink of an eye, Cen Zhen was covered with male creatures, having problematic men both left and right of him.
“……” Are you guys aware that one of you weighs 200 kilograms and the other weighs 80 kilograms, which is really heavy…
After answering Cen Zhen’s doubts, Zhou Qingchang gave an additional suggestion at the end: Since you are permanently united with Lian Yu, you should consider that and evaluate the specific situation of the two.
Cen Zhen glanced at Lian Yu lying on the bed playing games. His spiritual domain was narrow, which was a natural advantage. Too many Guides were locked in the protection field by their Sentinels, and couldn’t utilize their skills even if they were full of talent. After all, only very few Guides are like Man Feifei. Compared to defencing, Cen Zhen still preferred the feeling of attacking. Lian Yu is someone who loves to run around the whole universe. After graduation, they would inevitably come into contact with people of various races, so he should focus more on enhancing Lian Yu and launching attacks.
Enhancement using mental power can make Lian Yu even more powerful, and the mental attack can also make him stand firm against any enemy when he is alone.
Zhou Qingchang is worthy of his title as a genius. The answers he wrote have a lot more of his understanding and tricks than the dogmatic explanations in the textbook. He also pointed out Cen Zhen’s current predicament because he had observed Cen Zhen for a long time and understood his situation. After reading it, all Cen Zhen’s dissatisfaction with Zhou Qingchang turned into admiration, and he wanted to sell Lian Yu to him in exchange for more advice.
Lian Yu suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned over vigilantly at Cen Zhen’s direction. His green eyes stared for a long time before continuing to play games.
Cen Zhen: “…” Maybe he should keep him.
However, he still had to trick Zhou Qingchang into giving him the method of affecting non-Sentinel/Guide races with mental power when he had time. Cen Zhen thought deeply about it.
The next day was their close combat match, the last match of the elimination round. After this match, they would enter the top 50, and the competition system would become a point-based system.
They abandoned aerial combat and got eliminated in shooting. The mixed melee was the most interesting, but it became boring because they exposed their strength too early. Now, close combat is basically their only fun.
