Volume One, Chapter 32: It’s Trending Now

Xia Xiyin stuck out her tongue and glanced cautiously at Zhou Yu'an, who seemed quite accustomed to such behavior. He said to Zhou Xi, "Aunt, please don't startle Yin Yin."

Realizing he had nowhere left to retreat, Wang Qifeng swung his arm violently, batting the zombie's limb aside. He then seized the creature by the neck and plunged a blade deep into its temple.

The original counting rods were no longer mere tools; they had transformed into elite soldiers—cavalrymen, swordsmen with shields, spearmen, and crossbowmen.

The three of them left the school. Liu Yan had intended to take the bus, but Ye Xing climbed directly into a taxi waiting at the school gate. Ye Yixue followed closely behind, and after a moment of hesitation, Liu Yan joined them.

"With moderate delegation of power, I trust both of us can maintain control," Shen Liancheng said with a smile, leaning into his embrace and tightening her grip on his arm.

"Oh, that's right. Lily has smuggled herself over to your Dark Faction. When you log back in, trade her a teleportation scroll for the City of No Owners!" Lu Guo suddenly remembered and hurried to tell Mu Yi.

Bahuizi retreated to prepare the tea, understanding her place perfectly. After serving it on the coffee table, she quietly slipped out of the office and closed the door behind her.

At this moment, both Ye Qing and Uncle Dui spoke in unison, agreeing that there was no other choice; otherwise, it would bring shame upon everyone at Guanyin Hall.

"Very well!" Guo Da felt a sense of reluctance, but he had no other option. Could he really expect them to just stand on the street with him indefinitely? Despite his lingering doubts, he nodded in agreement.

Mo Xie looked at the massive nostrils and felt like weeping. As the finger descended, he instinctively manifested the "Nether God Mirror" to block the air above him.

Furthermore, this approach was far more effective than direct occupation. By utilizing the entire administrative system of the Lightning Dynasty to gather resources across the Heavenly Pivot Ancient World, the efficiency would be significantly higher.

"Heh, I only resorted to such a desperate measure because I feared you wouldn't agree. I hope you will forgive me, miss!" Xie Yue said, his face devoid of any sincerity. Seeing this, Qing Ying felt a burning urge to lunge at him and fight to the death.

Feng Ling, however, glared unhappily at Xi Mancai, fearing that Qin Yang might have been in the midst of an epiphany. It was a rare and precious process, and interrupting it would be a heavy loss. Fortunately, she did not know that Qin Yang had already etched all his insights firmly into his mind.

That was not the end of it. As Xiao Qiang passed through the corridor, doors nearby suddenly flew open. Opponents rushed out and opened fire on him, but they had barely managed to fire a single paint pellet before realizing they had already been honorably "headshotted."

"Director Zhou? Which Director Zhou?" Zhao Guozhi asked, feeling puzzled. A Director Zhou from the provincial government? He had dealt with leaders of state-owned enterprises from the province before, but he had never crossed paths with any Director Zhou. Where did this sudden official come from? Who could possibly know?

This was what Kusaji Kazuo had informed him about over the phone that afternoon. Kazuo had told him the enemy was coming and to prepare for battle, yet he never expected his meeting with Lin Feng would take place anywhere other than the battlefield.

Qin Yang did not feel discouraged; on the contrary, he was quite satisfied with his current state. One should not pursue unrealistic things; it is better to be content.

After a long while, a low cluster of bushes finally began to stir slightly. A smile tugged at the corners of Zhang Nan's mouth—it seemed they were finally appearing.

Following Zhang Jiao's words, Su Rongrong and the others were stunned, quickly shifting their focus toward Mongqi.
