Chapter 633: Chapter 348: A Man’s Dream, Cat Xue’s Terrifying Charm, “Lion Eye” Shen Tuguang (4K)_2
“Is that all there is to your will?”
He Han: “Wait…! Ah!”
…
“In simple terms, I’m now a power bank.”
His tiny body was squeezed into something soft as Cat Xue poked his head out and began to explain to the students, his voice young and pleasant.
“Sini has important tasks and uses up a lot of Life Force, and she needs to replenish it all the time. It’s too much trouble to come to me each time, so upon her suggestion, I’ve become like this.”
“By staying on her, with bodily contact, I can replenish it anytime…”
The students had varied expressions after hearing this.
“Hmm… such a legitimate reason, hard to argue with.”
“For a moment, I’m not sure whom to envy…”
Fu Jialin, green with envy, said, “Mr. Xue, can I also… (glances at her 36D), never mind, forget I said anything…”
Ye Jingqiu looked at Cat Xue’s youthful yet authoritarian presence, utterly adorable, and her heart nearly melted.
She knelt on the ground, grabbed Cao Sini’s hands, almost pleading, “Sini, let me hug Mr. Xue, please, I’ll do anything!”
Bandaged and bruised, He Han’s eyes sparkled as he witnessed the scene, and he hobbled over, his voice grave:
“What sort of resolve are you harboring to say such a thing?”
Ye Jingqiu: “Eh?”
“Do you, a mere student, have the power to shoulder someone else’s life?”
Ye Jingqiu glanced at him disapprovingly: “What kind of weird stuff are you talking about now?”
Undeterred, He Han continued gravely, “To say ‘I’ll do anything’ is a heavy statement.”
“Don’t casually say things you can’t do.”
He looked down condescendingly at Ye Jingqiu, “You, you’re always just thinking about yourself.”
After saying this, he turned to Cao Sini, excited, “Exactly, Miss Cao, could you repeat what I just said please, I beg you, I’ll V you 50 after the exam!”
Ye Jingqiu’s mouth twitched: “Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re already battered and bruised.”
Although she couldn’t comprehend He Han’s words, she knew this annoying, second-dimensional fool must be spouting something from an anime again, and she had a feeling that she was cast in a very strange role in it.
He Han immediately threw himself to his knees: “Secret Marseilles.”
Cao Sini looked at the farce before her, unimpressed, “Boring.”
She lowered her head, her gaze softening as she looked at the fuzzy head on her chest, gently placing her palm over Cat Xue’s head.
Cat Xue let out a sleepy yawn, instantly winning over the girls’ hearts with hearts in their eyes.
It wasn’t clear if it was the comfort of the cockpit that was making him so drowsy.
Shaking his head, Jing managed a Water Splash Jump and left the cockpit, deftly landing on Chen Xingyan’s shoulder, and at the same time grew back to the size of an adult cat.
“Ah,” Cao Sini couldn’t help feeling a bit empty, as if there was a missing piece in her 36D.
Cat Xue stretched languidly, sitting down with his tail swishing, looking at Chen Xingyan, and inquired:
“What’s the status of the scores now?”
Tears filled Ye Jingqiu’s eyes as she looked at Chen Xingyan: “Please… Xingyan…”
Chen Xingyan cleared his throat, offering Ye Jingqiu an apologetic look, then respectfully whispered to the Cat Xue on his shoulder:
“Not so good, most people’s total scores aren’t high.”
“Also, since yesterday, the ‘prey’ we’re able to encounter has been dwindling, as if other classes’ students are intentionally avoiding us, even if it delays their required movement tasks.”
“If it continues like this, aside from Miss Cao and a few of us, the rest won’t get good scores.”
Cat Xue nodded, “It’s about time. With Sini’s number of knockdowns, getting the King of Knockout is a done deal. After the exam ends, we can directly get a team average score of a thousand, which should put us in the top three on the leaderboard.”
“The rest is making sure everyone gets enough individual points to make up the final scores.”
He extended a cat paw, and an invisible rift opened in the air, with a white bracelet landing onto it.
After a few swipes of his pink paw pad, the bracelet revealed a holographic interface.
“`
[Current Hunt Quest Options]
[Hunt Target: Big Chainsaw Ape, Danger Level Assessment: 4.8, Location:…]
[Hunt Target: Desiccant Scythe Bird Swarm, Danger Level Assessment: 5.1, Location:…]
…
A long list of over sixty available hunt quests lined the interface.
Chen Xingyan hesitated and said, “Completing hunt quests can indeed earn a lot of points, but…”
He looked at the various hunt targets displayed on the screen with their danger levels and felt his heart pound.
These optional hunt quests in the joint exam were not intended for ordinary students.
Rather, they were for those prodigies who unexpectedly find themselves among the common herd to rapidly rack up points.
After defeating and killing these targets, the slayer could obtain a large amount of individual points as well as some team points.
Within these, because the team points would be evenly split among the entire group, for Xue Jing’s class where the entire class was in one group, it amounted to a drop in the bucket; the key lay in individual points.
However, monsters with such high danger levels would likely give even Cao Sini a hard time and only might she manage to beat one with difficulty.
Other students would hardly be of any help, as the iron-based creatures in the Steel Tree Sea are tough-skinned, and if the attack power isn’t up to a certain level, it’s virtually like scratching an itch for them.
And yet, Cao Sini is the last person who needs points… Her score is already virtually guaranteed to rank first in the final results.
To let other students earn individual points from hunt quests, it would require Cao Sini or Zhao Longtu to fight fiercely to bring a hunt target down to its last breath, then let the other students deliver the final blow…
Putting aside the feasibility of this, would those two be willing to work selflessly for the sake of others?
Just consider that with over twenty students in the class, each needing to kill at least one hunt target, even if Cao Sini and Zhao Longtu were willing to help, they wouldn’t be able to withstand such a grind.
And even though Mr. Xue possesses boundless magical power, as an examiner, if he were to assist, the hunt quests would automatically be deemed a failure, and no points would be awarded.
Unless he could find a way to lend a hand undetected by the officials…
Cat Xue smiled faintly and simply said:
“Next, it’s time for the one-on-one personal coaching session that everyone gets.”
With a flash, he perched himself on Ye Jingqiu’s shoulder.
“Jingqiu student, would you be interested in going on a private date just with me?” Cat Xue revealed an anthropomorphized, smiling expression and touched her face with his soft cat paw.
With his fluffy body suddenly sitting on her shoulder and the soft paw touching her cheek, the girl was so surprised she nearly fainted on the spot; how could she possibly have any capacity to think?
Overwhelmed with happiness, she eagerly and vigorously nodded, saying:
“Yes, I must go, even if it kills me!”
As she spoke, she carefully picked up Cat Xue, feeling the weight and softness in her palm, and suddenly squatted down on the ground in a duck-sitting position.
“Ah…”
Ye Jingqiu closed her eyes, a natural, serene smile played upon her lips, her lovely face radiating a serene happiness as if she had no regrets in death, and she remained still.
“Crap, Jingqiu has died on the spot!”
“Directly interacting with Mr. Xue in his cat form was still too soon for her!”
“I’m not sure if it’s just my imagination, but I think I saw something transparent rising above her head, like her soul ascending…”
…
On the other side.
Present day, Silver City, Zhige Base.
Ning Yuantai stopped in his tracks on the wide square, looking at the sturdy, bald man descending from an aircraft.@@novelbin@@
The man exchanged greetings with the head of the Zhige Base who had come to welcome him, removed his sunglasses, and revealed a pair of lion-like, peculiar, and fierce eyes.
Ning Yuantai frowned slightly and murmured:
“‘Lion Eye’ Shen Tuguang… What’s he doing here?”
A sense of foreboding washed over Ning Yuantai’s heart.
“Could it be…”
