Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

No wonder he's been stuck at the Extraordinary I stage. Chen Xi now has a basic understanding of Zhang Heng's situation.

It's true that it's difficult to advance to the next level as a professional gamer.

Regardless of the industry or profession, even outside of esports, it is extremely talent-dependent.

Fortunately, I am a farmer, and as long as I honestly farm, I should be able to gain experience points. In comparison, I am quite lucky.

"Zhang Heng is in Sheung Shui. I can take you there after you take a break from school. He's a nice guy, but he keeps losing in competitions, which makes him very anxious and impatient."

Shangshui City is an international metropolis and the second largest city in the Great Xia Kingdom, second only to Shangjing City.

Most of the Bear League's matches are held in Sheung Shui, and Zhang Heng is naturally there as well.

"Although I am stronger than you now, you are still a hegemon, and even in the second tier, your future is limitless."

After Li Jibin finished speaking with a smile, his expression turned serious, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

Having been a teacher for so long, this serious expression makes him look exactly like a student caught fidgeting in class.

"Chen Xi, you must remember one thing: potential is potential, and strength is strength. These two things are completely different."

"The path to upgrading for the hegemons is destined to be far more perilous than ours."

"There were also some dominant players who fell during the process."

"You must be aware of this."

"I'm already aware of this."

Chen Xi replied earnestly.

Having just experienced a surprise attack by a fake, and one that nearly sealed his fate, his mindset underwent a significant change.

Li Jibin nodded in satisfaction; he had taught Chen Xi for three years.

At school, the other person was a promising comet.

Now that they've become comrades, their potential remains brilliant.

It's difficult for strangers with extraordinary abilities to build a trustworthy relationship, and Chen Xi's situation is quite rare.

"Your eyesight is good, just like when I joined the Party."

After giving a compliment, Li Jibin took out his phone:

"I'll contact Zhang Heng and ask him when he'll be available."

After punching and kicking the screen with his fingers, his gaze returned to Chen Xi:

"Just wait. He hates it when people call him, so we communicate via WeChat. He'll reply whenever he sees a call."

"But it might not be that fast, he spends most of his time playing games."

"And because he is a superhuman, his physical condition is much better than that of an ordinary person. He basically stays up all night every day, and it is normal for him to come back to me tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after that."

"I'll let you know if there's any news. Also, I didn't tell him about the second sequence, I only said that there's a newly emerging overlord sequence."

"Now I'm going to call your parents and tell them about your hallucinations and your decision to drop out of school. You should have told your parents about your presence here at this time."

"What's the reason?"

It's my friend's birthday.

Li Jibin smiled and nodded:

"I used it when I was in school. A classic is a classic; it never goes out of style."

"That's perfect. I'll tell them later that this was your excuse, and that I was actually trying to give you psychological counseling, but unfortunately it failed."

"They suggested that you take a year off from school and not live with them, so you can completely relax."

"You look really bad right now, so when you get home you can say you're being mentally tormented by hallucinations—a perfect loop!"

"Indeed, everything makes perfect sense."

Chen Xi agreed.

Chen Xi also relayed the advice Zhang Wanyi had given him to Li Jibin.

beep...

......

......

The call has ended.

The call was accompanied by some noise; the two people must have received it while taking a walk downstairs.

Chen Xi's parents remained silent for longer than they spoke, but in the end, they chose to accept it.

He also declined Li Jibin's invitation to go to the school to view the surveillance footage.

They clearly remembered that Chen Xi's demeanor was somewhat different from usual during dinner yesterday.

Chen Xi explained at the time that she was under some pressure due to the approaching college entrance examination.

The parents didn't think much of it at first, but they didn't expect it to be so serious, to the point of hallucinations.

This news made them feel very guilty, as Chen Xi had always had excellent grades and was in good health.

However, they overlooked his psychology and believed that they had unknowingly put too much pressure on Chen Xi's studies, forcing him to study late into the night, which led to this result.

Chen Xi felt guilty after hearing this, because he had been playing games late into the night!

squeak~

The sound of the bathroom door opening came from inside, and Zhang Wanyi, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, walked up to the two of them:

"Where have we gotten to?"

"The final step was that the homeroom teacher just finished talking to my parents about the suspension of school."

Chen Xi gave a simple answer.

"Pretty efficient."

After Zhang Wanyi finished speaking, she sat down on the sofa, and Li Jibin briefly supplemented her with information about the information gap between them.

"Zhang Heng..."

"I'd heard you mention it before, but I never imagined you were a ninth-sequence superhuman."

Zhang Wanyi looked slightly surprised. She hadn't expected that she would see and learn about the existence of two overlords in just one day.

Although both of them are currently considered novices, only at the Extraordinary I stage, they still have enormous potential.

"He's only at the Transcendent I stage, so naturally I won't actively promote him to avoid bringing him unnecessary trouble. If it weren't for Chen Xi's matter, I wouldn't have mentioned him today."

Zhang Wanyi adjusted her headscarf and looked at Li Jibin:

"I'm leaving now. I'll leave the paperwork for this house to you."

"it is good."

Li Jibin responded softly, unsurprised by this.

After speaking, he looked at Chen Xi again:

"Goodbye to my deskmate for a day. I'm no longer the school beauty but a witch now, so there's no need for me to stay at school and waste my time."

"Li Jibin is the same, and so are you. We're about to go our separate ways."

"Contact me on WeChat if anything comes up."

Chen Xi hummed in agreement.

"Also, this place was just attacked by the fakes today, so I plan to leave now and leave Yancheng."

"In another room, there is a suitcase that I packed in advance, just in preparation for the day when I need to leave suddenly."

"Leaving so soon?"

Chen Xi was somewhat surprised.

Although we were supposed to go our separate ways, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"For safety reasons."

"The fact that two of the fake man's companions died in Yancheng proves that there must be extraordinary beings here."

"They outnumber us, and given that Yancheng isn't a large city, they'll definitely send someone to investigate."

"Although it's impossible for them to come tonight, since they just died, we should always think a few steps ahead before we act."

"Perhaps there are other imposters in nearby cities, or even in this city?"

"As for you, they don't know you're from the Overlord Order, so even if they did notice you, they wouldn't take action against you."

"That's right, Chen Xi."

Li Jibin continued:

"It's best to leave as soon as possible. Your situation is special. You don't need to be there in person for your leave of absence tomorrow. Your parents can handle it."

"As for where you're going next, you don't need to tell us, and we don't want to know."

"There are more fakes than us superhumans, so we are indeed at a disadvantage overall, and therefore we cannot be high-profile."

"I see."

Chen Xi said seriously that Li Jibin and Zhang Wanyi had definitely experienced more life and death than him, which is why their execution speed was ridiculously fast.

Seeing Zhang Wanyi enter the house, change her clothes, and drag her suitcase with one hand, ready to leave, her movements were so swift that Chen Xi couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her:

"Although we haven't reached that stage yet, I'd like to ask first."

How do I gain experience points for the "Transcendent II" stage?
