Chapter 39: Gao Yang, a Combination of Annoying, Shameless, and Deserving of a Beating
Xia Xue called Gao Yang over.
Gao Yang’s eyes darted quickly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"You two..."
Xia Xue said coldly, "Shut your filthy mouth, or this young lady will tear you apart."
Xia Xue’s arrogance was well-known.
Only when alone with Lin Moyu would she restrain it a bit.
After all, Lin Moyu was even colder. If she remained arrogant, the two wouldn’t speak at all.
Now facing Gao Yang, her young miss temperament was fully on display.
Gao Yang was startled, scratching his head, "Just a joke, just a joke, don’t take it seriously."
Xia Xue said, "Stop looking for a team. When our cooldown ends, we’ll take you through the dungeon."
"You’ll definitely reach level 12 before the big exam."
Gao Yang let out an excited yell, "Really? You two are my great benefactors!"
"You don’t know, the school I want to enter requires level 12 to have a chance."
"You’re such good people!"
Gao Yang’s expression was extremely exaggerated.
Xia Xue frowned, "If you keep this up, we won’t take you."
Gao Yang immediately surrendered, suddenly becoming serious, "Don’t worry, Miss Xia, I’ll behave. I’ll do exactly as you say."
"What nonsense, shut up." Xia Xue snorted, a fireball appearing in her palm.
If Gao Yang dared say another word, she would definitely throw this fireball at his face.
Gao Yang wisely shut up, "I obey, just wondering how long until your cooldown ends."
Xia Xue calculated the time, "About 10 hours."
10 hours was a bit long, but Gao Yang knew he might not find a team in 10 hours anyway.
"Alright, you two rest and chat. I’ll go kill some wild monsters."
"Good luck, Lin Moyu, I’m rooting for you! You’ll win Xia Xue over sooner or later."
With that, he ran off.
Xia Xue angrily stomped her foot and threw a fireball.
With a boom, the fireball exploded behind Gao Yang, some sparks landing on him.
Ow ow ow!
Gao Yang yelped in pain, covering his backside and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xia Xue stomped her foot angrily, "That guy, his mouth is too foul, he deserves a beating."
Lin Moyu deeply agreed, but he had to admit, Gao Yang was a good person.
When others distanced themselves from him, only Gao Yang actively came to talk to him.
Even though Lin Moyu rarely responded, Gao Yang never showed disgust.
Lin Moyu trusted his feelings weren’t wrong.
Gao Yang was a sincere goofball.
10 hours later, Gao Yang joined the team.
Lin Moyu as the leader entered the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.
Upon entering, Gao Yang was the first to collapse in fear.
"Hey hey hey... Miss Xia, Boss Lin, why did you enter Nightmare difficulty?"
Xia Xue snorted, "Stop talking nonsense, just follow behind. You don’t need to fight anyway."
Huh?
Gao Yang showed confusion, panic, fear, and various other expressions.
Xia Xue wondered if she had been like this her first time.
She seemed to remember being quite scared too.
For the sake of his life, Gao Yang stuck close to Xia Xue, not daring to stray a step.
This was Nightmare difficulty! One hit from a monster here would end his life.
Ten minutes later, Gao Yang stared at the dead BOSS, still unable to close his mouth.
"This... this..."
"It’s dead already?"
Xia Xue looked at him, "Can you close your mouth? You’re drooling."
Gao Yang wiped his mouth corner, then suddenly hugged Lin Moyu’s leg, "Boss, Boss Lin, can you take me along when you run dungeons in the future? I’ll be your accessory."
Xia Xue sighed, "How can you be so spineless? You’re a knight, can’t you have some knightly spirit?"
Gao Yang cried out, "What use is knightly spirit? With Boss here, who needs knights?"
Xia Xue gave up on him, choosing to ignore him.
A faint white light flickered around Lin Moyu.
He had completed his level up.
At level 16, he was fully confident of entering Summer Capital University.
One more dungeon run, and Xia Xue could reach level 15, also having a good chance of entering Summer Capital University.
As for Gao Yang, his goal was the provincial Jiangning University.
It was also a good higher education institution, with lower requirements than Summer Capital University.
A level 12 knight was qualified enough.
As the sun set, casting long shadows on everything,
On the south city wall of West Sea City.
Several principals stood together, looking at the wild area outside the city wall.
"The children should be coming back now."
"Tomorrow is the big exam day. We told them all to return today."
"Wonder how the big exam results will be tomorrow."
"Most should be fine, it’s just a matter of which school they get into."
"Old Lu, I heard those two geniuses from your school are both aiming for Summer Capital University."
Principal Lu stared into the distance without blinking, "Yes, both Moyu and Xia Xue want to enter Summer Capital University."
"Summer Capital University is the most competitive. By past standards, level 15 gives a good chance, level 16 is almost guaranteed."
"It’s tough."
"Level 15 still has hope, level 16 is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. In our West Sea City, besides Su Qianxing, only Lin Mohan reached level 16 last year, right?"
"Wonder if these two youngsters have a chance this year."
Principal Lu nodded, "Let’s believe in them."
Lin Moyu and Xia Xue, one the brother of Lin Mohan, the other the daughter of the Xia family.
Principal Lu felt these two might both create miracles.
Finally, someone appeared in their sight.
One principal said, "It’s one of our Third High’s students."
Under Detection, the person’s level was clear.
[Xu Zhen, Level 12, Sword Fighter]
That principal was satisfied. Level 12 was enough to enter a good higher education institution.
Xu Zhen was somewhat famous in Third High, considered one of their geniuses.
"Our Second High’s student Wang Ming is back too."
[Wang Ming, Level 13, Eagle Eye Archer]
As students returned one by one, the principals continuously used Detection on the city wall.
Every year at this time, it was also a pre-exam competition among the principals.
A face-saving contest.
