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

Chu Shanhe's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his face turning a deep purplish-red, yet he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

They were telling the truth.

This renovation is indeed tacky, and it was definitely obtained through Lin Xiao's influence.

This is class oppression.

In the eyes of true geniuses, this kind of prosperity built up by external forces is nothing but a castle in the air, which can be shattered with a single blow.

Lin Xiao was not angry upon hearing this.

Instead, he looked at the straightforward girl in front of him with great interest.

interesting.

Although I'm a sucker for good looks, I'm still quite clear-headed.

"So, the president of the prestigious Yanjing Publishing House traveled all this way just to mock me and, incidentally, arrange a fight to get revenge?"

Lin Xiao asked with a half-smile.

"The mockery was just a side effect, because I'm a straightforward person and can't stand ugly things."

Xia Chaoyue stared intently into Lin Xiao's eyes.

"The main thing is to arrange a fight."

"But not those boring ring matches, those childish games; I'm not interested in those."

As she spoke, she flipped her wrist.

A black card gleaming with a blood-red light appeared at her fingertips.

Around the card, the space distorted slightly, and a mournful roar could be faintly heard.

"This is..." Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed.

The All-Knowing Eye provided immediate feedback.

[Item: Survival Game Active Entry Ticket (Two Players)]

[Description: The key to a high-difficulty survival dungeon. Once activated, you are responsible for your own survival.]

[Return on Investment: ??? (Extremely High Risk, Extremely High Return)]

"It seems you recognize him."

Xia Chaoyue smiled with satisfaction when she saw Lin Xiao's expression.

"Aside from the forced summons on the day of adulthood, true strongmen never passively wait for the charity of the survival game."

"We'll take the initiative and venture into those hellish dungeons with a 90% mortality rate to seize resources and fortune!"

"The ticket I have is a high-difficulty entry ticket for a two-person team. I'm missing a teammate who can keep up with my pace and won't hold me back."

"And you... are qualified to be chosen by me."

Xia Chaoyue's words were arrogant.

But she has the right to be arrogant.

"What do you mean? Do you dare come with me?"

Xia Chaoyue looked at Lin Xiao provocatively.

"If you're afraid of dying, then pretend I was never here. You can continue to be your local tyrant in this golden palace."

Provocation tactic.

It's a very basic method, but it's very effective.

Lin Xiao smiled.

He was just worried that the current upgrade speed was too slow, so this was like a pillow sent to someone who was sleepy.

"Alright."

Lin Xiao shrugged. "Since you just praised my wife for her good taste, I'll help you out."

"but……"

Lin Xiao changed the subject.

"When are we leaving? I need to settle in first and then make some preparations..."

"Ready?"

Xia Chaoyue suddenly smiled.

He laughed like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

She didn't answer Lin Xiao's question, but instead suddenly pulled out the latest model of mobile phone.

He darted between Su Daji and Chang'e and made a peace sign.

"Sisters! Come on! Look at the camera!"

"Let's take a picture to remember this! I'm going to post it on WeChat Moments and make those old guys drool!"

"eggplant--!"

Click.

Su Daji cooperated perfectly by making a charming peace sign.

Even Chang'e instinctively straightened her back the moment the camera was pointed at her.

She adjusted the angle at which she was holding the rabbit, making sure to show off her perfect profile.

Lin Xiao: "..."

How does this woman's brain work?

One second they're talking about life and death, the next they're taking selfies?

After taking the photos, Xia Chaoyue put away her phone with satisfaction and walked up to Lin Xiao, humming a little tune.

"Alright, my wish has been fulfilled."

She looked at Lin Xiao, and the smile in her eyes instantly turned into a sly triumph.

"You just asked when we're leaving?"

"The strong never need to prepare!"

"Right now!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Xia Chaoyue suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Xiao's wrist.

They didn't give Lin Xiao any chance to react at all.

A loud bang,

The black card instantly burst into flames.

A crimson beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the two of them.

"Holy crap! You can't take a joke—!"

Lin Xiao only had time to let out a scream.

next second.

The two figures instantly transformed into streaks of light, soaring into the sky and tearing apart the spatial barrier.

Only Chu Shanhe and Liu Bo, two old men, were left standing there, dumbfounded.

Looking at the empty school gate and the admission notice that had fallen to the ground and hadn't even had time to warm up, I saw...

The intense weightlessness comes and goes quickly.

When our focus shifts back, the hustle and bustle of modern society comes to an abrupt halt.

A chilling coldness that seeped into the bones followed.

There was no sun in the sky, only a pale, lifeless moon, hanging forlornly in the gray-black mist.

This is an ancient, dead city.

The streets were lined with uniform black-tiled roofs and white walls, with dilapidated white lanterns hanging under the eaves, swaying eerily in the still night.

What filled the air wasn't snowflakes, but rather pale paper money, which landed on the skin and emitted the acrid smell of burning corpse oil.

In the distance, the faint clanging of a watchman's gong could be heard.

Interspersed with a few lines of opera singing that sounded like both crying and laughing, it sent chills down one's spine.

"call……"

Lin Xiao rubbed his throbbing temples and looked at Xia Chaoyue, who was beaming with excitement, and couldn't help but complain.

"Big sister, is it really that urgent? I haven't even had breakfast yet!"

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war, don't you understand?"

Xia Chaoyue twirled her sword, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily, but she spoke nonchalantly.

"That's just how I am; I do what I think of and I never waste time internally. Besides, didn't you just say you agreed?"

"I did agree, but isn't the normal procedure to first exchange contact information and schedule a time?"

Lin Xiao rolled her eyes.

"Do you know what this kind of behavior is called in the workplace? It's called 'surprise overtime,' and it's incredibly annoying!"

"Hehe, I'm waiting for you to come and beat me up."

Xia Chaoyue grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"But you have to wait in line. People who want to beat me up are lining up from Beijing all the way to Shanghai."

She paused, as if remembering something, and turned to look at Lin Xiao with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"By the way, the top scorer in the college entrance exam. It's said that in order to cope with the situation, next year's National College Martial Arts Exchange Tournament will be held earlier than usual, on an unprecedented scale."

"Although your Huayang Martial Arts University... well, your facilities are a bit lacking, with you here, making it into the top sixteen shouldn't be a problem."

"We'll definitely run into each other then, and that'll be the real opportunity to exchange blows."

"Next year?" Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow, catching the key word.

"Yes, there's still a year to prepare."

Xia Chaoyue nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Lin Xiao stroked his chin, lost in thought.

next year……

Based on my current cultivation speed, plus the two humanoid cultivation accelerators.

one year later?

I'm afraid I'll be about to break through to the Grandmaster realm by then.

Why send a grandmaster to play in a college student exchange match?

This is too much of a bullying of children. Isn't this a pure case of being outmatched?

"What? Scared?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't speak, Xia Chaoyue mistakenly thought he was under pressure and patted him on the shoulder in a hearty manner.

"Don't worry! You're just starting out. If you really run into trouble, I'll go easy on you."

"Besides, this year is enough time for you to catch up. Don't lose too badly and embarrass yourself as the top scorer."

Seeing Xia Chaoyue's "I have high hopes for you" senior attitude, Lin Xiao's lips twitched involuntarily.

Chasing after you?

It's hard to say who will turn the tables then.

"Confidence is a good thing."

Lin Xiao smiled meaningfully, "I hope that by then, your knife will be as hard as your mouth."

"Tch, keep your champion's composure."

Xia Chaoyue rolled her eyes at him, just about to retort.

The cold system notification suddenly rang in their minds, interrupting the "cross-server chat".
