Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 65

Qiao Yu was deep in thought.

An NPC developing its own will and attempting to escape the dungeon that created it was eerily similar to the current situation in the Mechanical Kingdom.

"So, have you made up your mind, Qiao Yu?" the Mechanical Empress asked.

"Do I have any other choice but to agree with you?" Qiao Yu shrugged helplessly. If he dared to refuse, the Mechanical Empress could crush him with a single finger.

"Alright, thank you."

"Because of you, the seasons are warm?" Qiao Yu sang spontaneously.

Mechanical Empress: "..."

For some reason, hearing this melody made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Alright, you can leave now," the Mechanical Empress gestured dismissively.

"Wait, I still need to find Professor Hua Jun to get the Heart of Mechanics," Qiao Yu said.

"The Heart of Mechanics? You want that trash too?"

The Mechanical Empress casually pulled out over a dozen Hearts of Mechanics.

"Here you go."

[Heart of Mechanics]: Grade D item. When used by a player, it significantly accelerates the learning of mechanical-related knowledge.

Qiao Yu: "..."

Compared to the Heart of the Mechanical Empress, it was indeed trash.

Qiao Yu pocketed the dozen Hearts of Mechanics.

Sorry, Uncle!

"Achoo!"

"What's going on? Who's secretly cursing me?"

At this moment, Professor Hua Jun, who was in the lab, had no idea his nephew had abandoned him. He was still diligently modifying Talma.

[Congratulations to player Qiao Yu for obtaining the Heart of Mechanics and successfully clearing the Mechanical Kingdom dungeon.]

[Evaluation complete: Player Qiao Yu rated: Grade A. The system will issue rewards based on the player's rating.]

[Now issuing Grade A rewards to player Qiao Yu: Experience +50, 5 free attribute points, Grade B skill book "Stabilization Technique."]

Following his usual routine, Qiao Yu allocated the attribute points to Strength and tossed the skill book into his storage space.

Before he used the active skill of the Heart of the Brave, the skill book was of little use to him.

Qiao Yu controlled the crystal at the back of his head, slowly exiting the dungeon and reappearing in Zhuo Xinyuan's home.

"Zhuo Xinyuan, I got the Heart of Mechanics!" Qiao Yu said.

"Damn! My brother, forget about the Heart of Mechanics for now, you need to get to the exam hall quickly! Otherwise, you'll miss the college entrance exam!"

Zhuo Xinyuan had finished his written exams two days ago.

Qiao Yu suddenly slapped his thigh, damn, how could he forget about the college entrance exam!

He checked the Inner World's communication network and, sure enough, there were countless unread messages.

He glanced through them; almost all were from Xue Jinlong, Zuo You, and Yang Xiangdi.

"Entering with the First High School students?" Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

"Hurry up, I've arranged a car for you!" Zhuo Xinyuan urged.

When Qiao Yu arrived at the exam hall, only the First High School's team was left.

"Just in time!"

"Zhuo Xinyuan, keep these safe, and let me know the results!"

Qiao Yu handed the Hearts of Mechanics to Zhuo Xinyuan through the Inner World's storage space.

"Holy crap! Are you a heart thief or something?"

Zhuo Xinyuan was stunned by the dozen Hearts of Mechanics. Wasn't this thing supposed to be hard to get?

By the time he recovered from his shock, Qiao Yu had already walked briskly to a male teacher from the First High School.

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

The male teacher beamed at the term brother-in-law.

"You must be Teacher Shi Mei's cousin, Qiao Yu, right? Just call me Teacher He, my relationship with your sister isn't official yet, it's too early to call me brother-in-law."

"Alright, brother-in-law, got it, brother-in-law."

Teacher He laughed even more happily, his young face blooming like a vibrant chrysanthemum.

"Come, you can stand at the front of the line."

Teacher He clapped his hands and addressed the First High School students.

"Listen up, I'll say a few words, and then we'll enter the hall!"

"Our First High School has always had the highest college admission rate in Su City, and most of the city's top scorers have come from our school."

"Last year, our Long Xiang from First High School was the top scorer in the Warrior Class college entrance exam!"

"This year will be no exception! We hope First High School will produce another top scorer this year!"

"Understood?"

Teacher He asked loudly.

"Understood!"

Qiao Yu, blending in with the crowd, shouted along.

"Enter!"

The First High School team marched grandly into the exam hall.

Not far away, in the already seated Fourth High School team, Yang Xiangdi and others were searching for something in the First High School team.

"Yu Bro! It's Yu Bro! He made it, look, he's right there!" Yang Xiangdi pointed at Qiao Yu.

At this moment, Qiao Yu was striding confidently at the front of the First High School team.

The audience in the stands began cheering to welcome the First High School team, with countless people loudly cheering for the students.

"Go for it! The chance to change your destiny is right in front of you."

"Son! Dad's here, good luck on the exam!"

"Daughter, you're the hope of our entire family!" a father waved a national flag and shouted.

Walking at the very front, Qiao Yu confidently waved to the audience, as if he were the genius student of First High School.

"Who's that handsome guy at the front? Is he this year's top scorer candidate for First High School?"

"Definitely! Otherwise, why would he be at the front? That's the center position!"

"Wow! I've never seen him at First High School before, he must be a hidden ace!"

The students from Fourth High School listened to the audience's discussions, their expressions turning peculiar.

They couldn't understand how their genius ended up at First High School.

Only Xue Jinlong and a few others who knew the truth whispered among themselves.

"Teacher Shi Mei, what did you say to the First High School teacher? How did Qiao Yu end up at the front?"

"I don't know!" Shi Mei was also puzzled.

"I just told him Qiao Yu is my cousin and asked for a favor. I have no idea why he put Qiao Yu at the front."

"Find a chance to bring him back, or the misunderstanding will only grow!"

"Teachers, could it be possible that Yu Bro has defected?" Yang Xiangdi suggested.

Xue Jinlong turned to look at Qiao Yu, and the more he looked, the more it seemed like he had defected...

"Thank you! Thank you for supporting First High School!"

Qiao Yu bowed to the audience, his thoughts simple: since the First High School teacher let him stand in the center, he couldn't embarrass them!

"Look! That's Long Xiang! Last year's top scorer in the Warrior Class college entrance exam!"

Everyone turned to look.

A young man in his twenties sat beside the principals of the four high schools, his tall figure and aura like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

"Wow! As expected of the top scorer, truly outstanding."

"This is the future pillar of the nation!"

At this moment, Long Xiang was watching Qiao Yu at the front of the team with great interest.

"Principal, is he this year's top scorer candidate from our alma mater?" Long Xiang asked.

"Possibly... probably, maybe, most likely," the First High School principal was puzzled, as he had no impression of Qiao Yu.

"I hope our alma mater produces another top scorer this year," Long Xiang smiled.

"Uh... excuse me."

Principal Hong from Fourth High School spoke up.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one at the front of your team is a student from our Fourth High School."
