Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

Wang Jianguo was so startled that his hand trembled, and the scalding tea spilled all over him.

They could only awkwardly become waiters serving tea and water, not daring to utter a single word.

Just then.

Gu Qinghe's gaze swept across the crowd.

Suddenly, the camera stopped on a middle-aged man in the corner, holding a thermos and trying to shrink himself into a crack in the wall.

The man was wearing a faded shirt, his hair was messy, and he looked unremarkable.

But a smile as gentle as a spring breeze instantly bloomed on Gu Qinghe's cold face.

The speed at which they changed their tune was astonishing.

She walked over quickly, even bending down slightly.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Zhang, Lin Xiao's homeroom teacher?"

The entire room fell silent.

All eyes immediately turned to Old Zhang.

The thermos in Old Zhang's hand was shaking.

"Ah? It's...it's me..."

"Oh! It's Teacher Zhang!"

The arrogant Qian Duoduo, who was just moments ago, instantly teleported over, and his enormous body became as agile as a fat monkey.

He grabbed Old Zhang's hand with such enthusiasm that it was as if he had seen his long-lost father.

He casually slipped a priceless jade thumb ring into Old Zhang's hand.

"I've heard so much about you! You're a true role model in education, having raised a genius like Lin Xiao! This little thing is nothing, just a small gift!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Lei Laohu shoved Qian Duoduo aside and slapped Lao Zhang's shoulder hard with his large, fan-like hand, almost knocking Lao Zhang to the ground.

"Old Zhang, right? You look like a real man, with impressive bones! If you ever get into trouble in Donghai City, just mention my name, Lei Laohu, it'll do the trick!"

Old Zhang went mad.

Wang Jianguo was also dumbfounded.

He, the official principal, was treated like a grandson, serving tea and water, but no one paid him any attention.

Old Zhang, a quiet and reserved man who usually only teaches, was actually fawned over by three big shots?

Is this what they mean by a father gaining status through his son?

No, is it true that a master's status depends on his student?

"Three...three leaders, what brings you here?"

Old Zhang felt like he was dreaming.

Gu Qinghe pushed up his glasses, his tone serious.

"Teacher Zhang, you may not yet realize Lin Xiao's true value."

She looked around, raising her voice slightly, clearly addressing everyone.

"Lin Xiao broke more than just the points record."

"He proved that the 'blind box' concept for partners wasn't a dead end; rather, no one had the foresight to recognize its value before!"

"More importantly, he unlocked a 'colorful' grade that far surpasses the Red Myth."

"This is the first time this has happened globally since the advent of survival games!"

"Whoever controls Lin Xiao controls the narrative for the next ten years, and may even be able to rewrite textbooks!"

boom!

These words were like a depth charge, exploding in everyone's minds.

That's it!

Lin Xiao is not just a genius, he is a pioneer of an era!

"Alright, alright, stop with the high-sounding principles."

Lei Laohu interrupted impatiently.

"Old Zhang, give me a straight answer and help me persuade Lin Xiao to come to the military! I'll give him the rank of major! And a reinforced company of bodyguards! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on him, I'll send a grandmaster to raze them to the ground!"

"A major is nothing! His vision is too narrow!"

With a wave of his hand, Qian Duoduo displayed his boundless generosity.

"Come to Martial Arts University in Shanghai! I'll personally gift him an island! The kind with a helipad and yachts! A billion yuan in cultivation funds every year, with no upper limit! Whatever resources he wants, he can take them directly from the vault, no need to report!"

"Utterly vulgar."

Gu Qinghe sneered.

"Yanjing Martial Arts University has deployed its top-tier instructors for one-on-one guidance. Furthermore, we can resolve his Beijing residency issue; if he's interested, I can arrange a marriage between him and the eldest daughter of an ancient martial arts family..."

"I'll offer two billion!"

"I'll equip him with the latest mechs!"

"I'll introduce him to the school beauty!"

The argument grew louder and the tension escalated.

Old Zhang's head was buzzing as he listened to these astronomical figures that only appeared in the news.

With a tremor of his hand, the thermos he had used for five years fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a "crack".

He felt like he was about to faint.

Is this some kind of student poaching scheme?

This is practically stealing from our ancestors!

Seeing that the three big shots were about to start fighting in the corridor, their blood and qi were surging.

Qin Weiguo, the Minister of Education, who had remained silent until now, finally walked up from behind with a dark expression.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Minister Qin's words were filled with an imposing official air.

"This is a school, not a market! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"

He glared at the three of them.

"Since everyone wants it, let's have a fair competition. Let Lin Xiao choose for himself! Let's go see him now!"

The three bigwigs glared at each other, snorted coldly, and reached a consensus.

The group marched in a grand procession toward the VIP lounge at the end of the corridor.

Wang Jianguo quickly crawled out from under the table and followed behind eagerly.

We arrived at the heavy, soundproof door.

Just as Lei Laohu was about to raise his hand to smash the door, his ears suddenly twitched.

As a master martial artist, his five senses far surpass those of ordinary people.

Even with the best soundproof door, you can still hear the slightest movement inside if you're this close.

His large hand, which was raised in mid-air, suddenly froze.

His expression turned extremely strange, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Qinghe frowned and listened intently.

next second.

The icy, aloof woman's face flushed red instantly, down to her ears.

She coughed awkwardly, her eyes darting around, and she even subconsciously took a half step back.

Qian Duoduo's mouth dropped open, but then he revealed a knowing, lewd smile.

Young people these days really know how to have fun.

From inside the door, one could faintly hear Su Daji's voice, which carried a hint of coquettishness and a hint of pleading.

"Your Majesty...you're amazing..."

The corridor was deathly silent.

The four ruthless figures, decisive in battle and politics, looked at each other with expressions that were incredibly fascinating.

A massive social media frenzy!

Wang Jianguo wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

This……

Are young people these days so open-minded?

Are you in such a hurry right after leaving the dungeon?

"Ahem!"

Minister Qin's face turned red, and he coughed heavily twice, trying to break the awkward silence that made everyone want to dig their toes out.

"Well... young people have a lot of energy, that's understandable, that's understandable."

"So...should we knock?"

Lei Laohu scratched his head, feeling more embarrassed than ever before.

I'd rather not knock, lest I disturb their good time and cause them trouble.

If we don't knock, with so many big shots eavesdropping at the door, what will people think?

"knock!"

Qian Duoduo gritted her teeth; she had the thickest skin.

"If you swing your hoe well enough, no corner is too tough to dig down! Besides, we're here to bring warmth, not to raid prostitution rings!"

After saying that, he took a deep breath and shouted.

"Lin Xiao! Open the door! The school gave you a gold bar!"

Boom boom boom!

The loud knocking on the door was like a thunderclap.

The sounds from inside the door abruptly stopped.

About ten seconds passed.

Click.

The door lock turned.

The heavy, soundproof door slowly opened a crack.

A mixture of enchanting fragrance and a chilling, oppressive aura wafted over.

The door opened.

But it wasn't Lin Xiao who opened the door.

Instead, she was a woman breathtakingly beautiful, yet her clothes were slightly disheveled.

Su Daji's hair was disheveled, and her face, which was said to bring ruin to the country, still had a flush that hadn't faded, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Her eyes were glazed over, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the intense activity.

Upon seeing the group of people at the door, her eyes instantly turned extremely unfriendly, a look of annoyance at having her mood disrupted.

"Who is it? Don't they know the King is at a critical moment?"

And in the shadows behind her.

Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, shirtless.

Although he looked somewhat weak, his eyes were now gleaming with a faint golden light.

The moment everyone's eyes met his.

Whether it's Gu Qinghe, Lei Laohu, or Qian Duoduo.

These three top experts, who had already reached the Grandmaster level, all felt their hearts contract violently at the same time!

My knees even felt an instinctive ache, and I wanted to kneel down and worship them on the spot.

That's not a matter of suppressing strength.

That is……

A natural fear that comes from the bloodline, a fear that comes from a subject meeting his monarch!

The might of the Emperor is beginning to show!
