#186 - Chapter 186: Eat Oil Cakes or Not
“Senior, you've lost.”
Qi Jing held his umbrella-sword, the tip pointing directly at the boy who had fallen to the ground, clad in bright watermelon-colored attire.
At this moment, the boy was sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, his clothes torn into several large gashes, each tear deep enough to reveal bone, fresh blood gushing out of the wounds like a spring, a truly shocking sight.
However, this was already the result of Qi Jing holding back—had he used his full strength, this person would probably have been dismembered into several pieces long ago.
“Junior, impressive!” He slowly extended his right thumb, giving Qi Jing a thumbs-up, and simultaneously summoned the control panel, clicking the surrender button without hesitation.
Qi Jing also withdrew from the competition after this.
He had just fought many, many matches, all against seniors from the second and third years, not a single one was a freshman.
Moreover, several seniors recognized him, this “New King,” and after greeting him, earnestly competed with him.
But none of them managed to injure even a single hair on Qi Jing's head, all were defeated by Qi Jing.
“Qi Jing, hello, you're here to compete too.”
Having been teleported out of the arena, Qi Jing had just opened his eyes when he heard someone greeting him.
Turning his head.
It turned out to be Baili Xunjian, the “King of Consecutive Losses.”
If Qi Jing had the highest recognition in the freshman competition, then the second highest would be Baili Xunjian.
He had finished his matches in almost just one morning, and had lost nearly every single one.
Especially the contrast between his ethereal, immortal-like demeanor at the start and his dejected, utterly defeated exit, this reversal received great attention from the audience.
“Hello, Baili Xunjian.”
“Were you competing just now? Did you get another winning streak?” Baili Xunjian was just about to go try his luck in the arena when he saw Qi Jing coming out.
“Yes.”
“As expected of our freshman champion, winning streaks are a piece of cake, are those seniors all weak?”
Baili Xunjian moved closer to Qi Jing, then pulled him to sit down on a spectator seat:
“I went to the freshman competition earlier, the freshmen there couldn't beat me, so I came to this academy competition to wander around, I even saw Wu Xia come here earlier.”
Facts proved that the rankings of the freshman competition made sense to a certain extent, the top eight could almost all pass at least two Level 1 trials, earn points, and then purchase the new holographic helmet.
“The seniors here are quite strong, although I defeated them all.”
Qi Jing believed that the opponents he encountered were all “idle personnel” in the academy. After all, people who came to the virtual world on the first day were somewhat addicted to the internet, at least they were very free, not attending classes and not doing any tasks.
But some seniors he hadn't encountered were definitely very strong, such as those girlfriends Si Kong Yaoyao introduced, Zhu Qing'an who made poetry concrete, “Ice Spirit” Han Yinuo, and “Slayer” Yin Ci.
With their strength, they could definitely completely crush Baili Xunjian.
Moreover, there were several opponents just now who could easily take down Baili Xunjian.
As a kind-hearted person, Qi Jing couldn't let him think he was invincible, and then be arrogantly defeated by a senior, crushing his confidence.
“Awesome, worthy of being the person who can defeat me!”
Baili Xunjian also gave Qi Jing a thumbs-up.
“Why are you here? Did you skip class? Or did you get a gun license?” Qi Jing asked in confusion.
Baili Xunjian pointed to the watch on his arm and said:
“It's almost eight o'clock now, class is long over, haven't you eaten yet?”
Qi Jing nodded.
Did time pass so quickly?
He thought it was only five o'clock in the afternoon.
“Well, bye, I'm going to eat first.”
“Bye bye~”
After saying goodbye to Baili Xunjian, Qi Jing directly clicked log out on the panel.
Bad, bad, Zha Yin must be worried to death.
It's been so long since I contacted her, who knows what she's thinking!
Taking off the helmet, Qi Jing immediately picked up his phone to see if Zha Yin had sent any messages.
Surprisingly, there were none?
Could it be that she posted it on the short video app?
Also none!
Qi Jing looked left and right, even logged into his alternate account, but didn't see any messages from Tan Zuoyin, not even a phone call.
That's not right?
Shouldn't Zha Yin be missing (managing) me?
“Qi Jing, you're finally awake, if you didn't wake up we would have eaten all your dinner!”
Yan Cheng walked to his bed, holding up a thermos pot.
“This is the loving dinner I prepared for you, super fragrant, I'm so hungry that all I draw is thermos pots.”
Song Jiang stopped doing push-ups and said:
“This was clearly bought by someone's girlfriend, you prepared it? Shameless.”
“What's wrong? Didn't I bring it back? If it weren't for me, this meal would have been eaten clean by Senior Dog.”
Qi Jing got out of bed, took the thermos pot from Yan Cheng's hand, and saw that inside was his favorite Eight Treasure Porridge and oil pancakes.
He asked Yan Cheng:
“Did she say anything else?”
“No.”
Yan Cheng shook his head, then nodded inside:
“No, she did, she said you must thank me, the food bringer, and call me 'brother' a few more times.”
Qi Jing was speechless.
This guy can't hold back a good fart in his mouth.
He took out an oil pancake and handed it to Yan Cheng:
“Eat oil pancake?”
“Eat! I drew a few thermos pots just now, and I'm hungry again.”
Yan Cheng took the oil pancake, took a bite, and then realized:
“You little brat, you're scolding me, you're the oil pancake!”
“What I eat is not an oil pancake, it's a fried dough stick!”
Qi Jing quickly tore the oil pancakes in the pot into strips, and then started eating.
Yan Cheng looked at Qi Jing speechlessly, and then tore the pancake in his hand into strips as well.
After eating, he asked:
“Do you know that Teacher Cen Xi got a 200-win streak in the arena?”
“I don't know.”
Qi Jing only knew that Cen Xi had gotten a 100-win streak in the ladder match, he didn't expect that she would have fought another hundred matches in the afternoon.
Even more able to fight than himself, truly a fanatical combatant!
“The Alien Forum was discussing this just now, and some people even bet on who would stop Teacher Cen from continuing her winning streak.
Now Teacher Cen has become a big boss, whoever defeats her will get many, many points!
Now even Teacher Cen's spectator seats are full, we can't even get in.”
Yan Cheng was talking endlessly about Cen Xi's winning streak, but Qi Jing was eating while texting Tan Zuoyin:
[Baby, your food is so delicious.]
Um.
Why aren't you talking?
She must be watching a TV series.
“Qi Jing, why don't you go try?”
After saying this, Yan Cheng turned his head and saw that Qi Jing was actually staring at his phone, and asked:
“Didn't you hear what I said just now?”
“I heard, I see in all directions, listen in all directions, and can even use them separately.”
“Oh, then are you going to try?”
Qi Jing pointed at himself and asked:
“Do I look like someone who can defeat Teacher Cen?”
