#563 - Chapter 561 The Black Room Effect

"That bastard Qi Jing didn't come back again yesterday. He must have been up to no good with his girlfriend. I'm furious!"

The next day at lunchtime, Yan Cheng, never one to keep his mouth shut, was walking along the road, muttering to his two roommates beside him.

Song Jiang asked:

"Don't you have a girlfriend too? You could not come back as well, couldn't you?"

"If I didn't come back, who would keep you two single dogs company? Especially you, Lao Song. That senior even invited you to dinner last time. How did you not seize the opportunity?"

Hearing Yan Cheng's question, Song Jiang blurted out:

"The senior just had a meal with me. How does that mean there was an opportunity?"

"Eating isn't an opportunity?"

"Eating is a very normal thing. How could that be called an opportunity?"

As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, he noticed Yan Cheng looking at him with an idiot's gaze.

He spread his hands.

Wasn't that the truth?

The inhumane 'smack smack' sounds during eating, the annoying swallowing sounds, and the sounds of the throat moving wouldn't give anyone a good impression, right?

"Don't you think it's ugly to eat?"

Yan Cheng sized Song Jiang up and down:

"Wow? That's a novel perspective. You can think of these things when eating with a beautiful senior, which only proves one thing."

"Which thing?"

"You're too free when you eat. You're neither looking at your phone nor being attracted to the senior. You're such a fool!"

Who would think about these random things when eating with a beautiful woman?

Even if you put a little attention on the beauty, you wouldn't hear those sounds.

Yan Cheng patted Song Jiang on the shoulder:

"Lao Song, you have to learn from Qi Jing. Although he's not the brightest, he knows how to cherish the person in front of him. If you let go of the opportunity right in front of you, who will give you another chance?"

"Who are you saying isn't bright?"

Without realizing that the voice came from behind him, Yan Cheng subconsciously replied:

"Qi Jing? Ah!"

Suddenly, a wooden stick swept down from above towards Yan Cheng's left arm. Fortunately, Yan Cheng reacted quickly and dodged it instantly, avoiding being hit.

He turned his head to look at the person who attacked him:

"You! So it's Lao Qi. Good afternoon. Why are you attacking me?"

Qi Jing, standing on his Immortal Descent Umbrella, flew behind Yan Cheng and asked with a smile:

"Why do you think? Yan Cheng?"

"That's not right of you. My name isn't Yan Cheng, and I wasn't scolding you. I was scolding someone named Qi Jing."

As Yan Cheng spoke, he saw the questioning look in Qi Jing's eyes and immediately knew it was time to activate his topic-shifting technique:

"Lao Qi, ever since you came back from the Dwarf Society's base after lying there for fifteen days, I've noticed that something's not quite right with you.

You used to just like to show off a little, but now why do you like to tease people?

Look at that flying umbrella under your feet. Are you trying to scare me? You, ah, you must have been influenced by that Dwarf Society's Third Elder. I suggest you go see a doctor."

I like to tease people?

Qi Jing thought briefly.

He did sneak behind them today on his flying umbrella, intending to give them a scare.

And considering the way he teased Gou Yigou that day, it did seem like something was off?

Could it be that he was really influenced?

Impossible, impossible. I, King Qi Jing, would never have any abnormal state.

Then why?

Miao Kui, seeing that Qi Jing was being led astray by Yan Cheng, said:

"I know this. When a person is in a confined environment for a long time, even if they're with someone, they'll still experience some aftereffects.

Some people become more talkative, turning from a Summer Peach-type silent gourd into a Yan Cheng-type loudmouth, desperately wanting to communicate with others.

Some people become withdrawn, turning from Yan Cheng into Summer Peach. They've gotten used to that confined environment and haven't come out of it yet.

Some people become irritable and hyperactive, and some even become reclusive.

Lao Qi is just slightly influenced. Although he himself hasn't noticed it, it's still there to some extent. He wants to attract other people's interest in him and increase his sense of existence."

Listening to the words of the great philosopher Miao Kui, Qi Jing thought back to the situation that day.

When he first came out of the office, he did feel slightly more talkative than before.

And Zha Yin didn't want to talk, only saying a word or two for half a day.

Lao Gou became irritable.

It all adds up, it all adds up. You're the one, Lao Miao! Unlike Yan Cheng, who just tries to deceive people with sophistry all day long.

"Where's Zha Yin?"

Yan Cheng, realizing that Qi Jing's gaze was becoming more and more strange, quickly changed the subject again.

Qi Jing took the small wooden stick and jumped off the flying umbrella, replying:

"Of course, she's with her roommates. Isn't Wu Tianxin going to use her newly acquired bird form in the competition today? She's already gone to play with birds."

"New bird form? Let's go, let's go take a look!"

Yan Cheng, who had successfully shifted the topic, strode forward.

Qi Jing wouldn't let this guy off so easily. He quickened his pace and raised the wooden stick in his hand:

"Lao Yan, watch out for the stick!"

♤ ♧ ♡ ♢

"Sweetheart, how many bird forms did you get in the club battle?"

Beside the playground, in the animal club, Tan Zuoyin brought out a few small benches, and the people from the dormitory sat on them to chat.

Wu Tianxin held out her hand and made a pistol gesture:

"Including the one I got yesterday, eight."

Of course, these were birds with special abilities. The local ordinary birds were not included in her calculations.

In other words, besides the initial Thorn Gull and the later Bird of Paradise, she had secretly learned the transformation techniques of six other birds in the club battle.

A great harvest!

"We have three in the animal club: Carrier Pigeon, Armadillo Chicken, and Prometheus Eagle."

Wu Tianxin held out her other hand and gesticulated again:

"There's also the Meow Meow Head Hummingbird Eagle from the Cute Club, the Inertia-Free Falcon from the Parkour Club, and the last one is the Great Sun Golden Crow from the Ten Thousand Shrine yesterday."

Among these six birds, the most powerful are the Prometheus Eagle, which combines fire and sky, and the Divine Bird Golden Crow.

However, because the esper of the Great Sun Golden Crow is already a third-year student, if they were to face each other, the battle would be one-sided, and it would be impossible to tell which one is stronger.

However, Wu Tianxin could tell.

If she transformed into the Prometheus Eagle, she could last for two minutes. If she transformed into the Great Sun Golden Crow, she couldn't even last for half a minute.

But it's not all about the rate of source power consumption.

After all, the Great Sun Golden Crow comes with a burning passive skill right from the start. A large area around it will feel a strong, searing burning sensation, continuously consuming source power.

"I feel like this Great Sun Golden Crow won't be usable until much later. Right now, I still have to use some that save source power, like the Inertia-Free Falcon."

The Inertia-Free Falcon only has one passive skill: no inertia.

And it's very fast, making it suitable for dealing with opponents of this level.

Tan Zuoyin looked at Wu Tianxin, who was secretly pleased, and asked:

"By the way, do they know you stole their abilities?"

"Of course not."
