Dragon Raja's Number One Player

Chapter 149 Your 3E, My 3E Seems Different

I will keep spying on you, keep spying on you, keep spying on you—

"Game time, September 14th, 9:15 AM, Lin Zhiying and Ling are having breakfast together in the cafeteria."

"Zero paid for it herself, sob sob, Zero is such a good girl————"

"Hmph, you cheapskate! You can't even afford to buy your girlfriend breakfast? If I were her boyfriend, I wouldn't do this!"

"At 9:20 in the morning, Ling and Lin Zhiying were still eating. Wait, Ling smiled. She glanced in my direction. Did I make her happy? She cares about me!"

"Game time: September 15th, 10:10 AM, Lin Zhiying and Ling are in the library together."

"Based on my informant, I quickly located their seats and paid to secure the seats opposite them."

"From this distance, Zero looks really good, hehehe, but the people next to him are really too much of an eyesore!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Zero reads so fast, he really has an amazing learning ability. Lin Zhiying, on the other hand, has been sitting there all day and hasn't even turned a few pages. Why don't I go read it?"

The post was filled with sourness and self-loathing that practically leaped off the screen.

Lin Zhiying silently closed the forum and glanced in the opposite direction. The guy was still sitting there observing him, but when he saw Lin Zhiying's gaze, he slightly missed it.

"Ugh."

He couldn't help but sigh.

From the moment the server-wide announcement rang out, he knew he was about to become the target of everyone's anger.

For players, it doesn't matter how high your achievements are or how good your relationship is with Chu Zihang and Caesar, as long as you don't touch female characters, everything is fine.

However, the protagonist directly used the "One Day of Freedom" privilege on Zero, changing everything.

Numerous players posted messages condemning Lin Zhiying, claiming they had been "victimized" by a NTR (Netorare) player.

Even more outrageous, some people even sent me private messages asking if I had any private photos of myself, not my buddy.

————————————————————

Am I that kind of person? Besides, even if I did have something like that, I'd definitely enjoy it myself.

The player mentioned above is one of the most severely affected.

Ever since she got together with Zero, he has been following her around all the time. He even prepared a sleeping bag and blocked her doorway at her dormitory.

If Chu Zihang hadn't discovered everything when he returned and spoken up, he probably would have really fallen asleep there.

"What's wrong?"

The girl beside him looked at him with innocent eyes and a cute expression.

Lin Zhiying thought of something, and a wicked feeling rose in his heart. He reached out and gently pinched Ling's face.

My fingers felt like they were touching cotton; it was so soft and gentle.

Zero instinctively wanted to resist such intimate contact, but after thinking about it, she decided it was better to endure it in order to find out the secrets about Lin Zhiying.

She's just selling her looks.

Moreover, she is now nominally Lin Zhiying's girlfriend, so these intimate behaviors are still within his acceptable range.

If he does anything else, he'll definitely teach this guy a lesson!

However, to be honest, because of some past experiences, I have some aversion to boys, but it's rare for me to have that feeling with him.

Moreover, Lin Zhiying seems to be very sensible; at most, he only touches her face and hair occasionally, and holds her hand when walking.

"Currently, your favorability towards Zero is 15 points."

Lin Zhiying looked at the favorability rating on the panel in front of him with trepidation. To be honest, he wasn't this worried when he killed "Odin".

Seeing that the favorability rating remained unchanged, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, the favorability rating didn't fluctuate, which means this action is acceptable.

Yay, I've unlocked a new move!

This is a small step for him, but a giant leap for all players.

Lin Zhiying has already fantasized about completely winning him over and becoming a virtuous wife and loving mother.

The thought of Ling sitting on the sofa waiting for him when he got home made him chuckle to himself.

This issue is not the only one being discussed on the forum.

A large part of the discussion still focuses on the game content. Apart from "Day of Freedom," the rest of the discussion revolves around the upcoming event, "3E Exam."

After all, only those who pass the exam can be considered true students of Kassel College.

"Ding, system notification: The 3E exam will begin at 12 o'clock. All students are requested to arrive at the teaching building in advance and pay attention to the exam time."

Lin Zhiying and Ling walked out of the library together, but later, because of their intimate gesture of holding hands, they became even more entangled.

This caused the player who had been observing them from the other side to slam their pen into the book.

A semi-transparent figure immediately appeared.

"You have damaged public property within the Kassel College; please provide compensation immediately."

"Norma" spoke in a cold tone, making it clear that if they didn't give it to her, the consequences wouldn't be good.

In the classroom.

Lu Mingfei looked up at Lin Zhiying sitting in front of him, and his face flushed with embarrassment when he thought about his performance during "A Day of Freedom" a couple of days ago.

If it were him, passing this exam should be very easy.

But he was different; he didn't have those extraordinary abilities at all.

He was completely different from these mixed-race individuals. To this day, he still doesn't understand why Professor Guderian recruited him and even gave him the best treatment.

He had heard of a psychological phenomenon called the "fish effect".

It refers to placing one fish among other fish in a group, which can make the other fish more energetic.

Does what I did make me this "fish"?

——————————————————————————————————————————

Lu Mingfei tugged at his sleeve slightly, said nothing, and the image of Fingel appeared in his mind: "The academy's exams are rotated every eight years, but only 76 questions will not be changed, since there are only so many known dragon runes."

"Do you even have a bottom line, junior?"

In the end, I made a deal with him. He got the exam questions, but the price was a semester's worth of late-night snacks and having to lower my standards to three meters below ground level.

Lu Mingfei also wanted to stay here.

I want to be as dazzling as Lin Chih-ying.

He never dared to imagine this before, but after coming here, he felt that seeing the expectations others had for him made him want to respond to them all.

Professor Guderian walked over, placed a stack of white papers on his desk, and silently left the classroom after distributing them to everyone.

"The exam begins!"

Nuonuo, who was acting as the examiner on the podium, yawned and said...

Many NPCs looked around strangely and whispered among themselves. What was going on?

Where's the exam paper?

Some people raised their hands, ready to ask if there was a mistake.

But the next moment, loud rock music started playing from the speakers next to us.

Lu Mingfei confidently picked up a pen and sketched the pattern on the paper. According to Fingel, the college would use these rock songs to cover up the dragon patterns during the exam.

True hybrids can distinguish the dragon runes from them and thus gain spiritual vision, drawing them on paper—this is the exam paper.

At the same time, the players also curiously examined the blank paper in their hands, trying to glean something from it.

However you look at it, it's just a few blank sheets of paper.

What does that mean?

Are we really going to let these players just doodle and draw?

However, as the music started, everything in front of all the players changed.

Although they were still in the classroom, a group of colorful things appeared in front of them, with many irregularly distributed patterns.

Curious, "Durian Fire" tapped the red pattern, and a dotted line appeared on it.

What does this mean? He was a little confused.

As if possessed, I clicked on another red pattern. A special light flashed across the screen, and both patterns disappeared.

Wow, he knows what this is now!

Isn't this a matching game?

So, does this mean the 3E exam has turned into some mini-games? If there are eight exam papers, doesn't that correspond to eight games? He did find himself vaguely interested in this.

"Link Link" is a nationally popular game, and I've also played "Durian Fire". After realizing it, I quickly figured it out. Moreover, as the first level, it didn't seem too difficult, and it took me about 3 minutes to pass.

As the game ended, a rather scribbled drawing appeared out of nowhere on the blank paper in front of us.

A string of numbers appeared in the upper right corner, showing his ranking.

"The Durian Fire Relay, 3751 people"

Real-time rankings?

He seemed to realize something and slid upwards rapidly.

I scrolled all the way to the top and saw that familiar name. His appearance here has made me somewhat desensitized to "Durian Fire".

However, looking at the leaderboard, he was still astonished, his mouth agape. Lin Zhiying saw the number after it: "59 seconds".

Good heavens, that's way too fast! Even doing it normally wouldn't be this fast!

Not to mention that I found out suddenly!

This created a sense of urgency for "Durian Fire Relay," leading to the next question.

Fortunately, according to the system prompts, this period can be used as a break time. The test paper is paused, but for a maximum of 15 minutes. What is actually calculated is the completion time of each game.

"Durian Fire" watched as the scene before him changed again, with pixelated grids appearing in front of him.

A small figure on the road moves back and forth according to his consciousness and can also jump. There are some grids above his head. "Durian Fire" even saw a question mark in one of them.

He controlled his character to walk over, jump up, and bump into something below.

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep".

Accompanied by a melody that seemed to come from nowhere, a pale golden potion slowly moved out. The little man ate it, and "Durian Fire" found that his body had immediately grown larger.

He instantly realized what game this was. "Holy crap, isn't this 'Mario'?"

However, perhaps to avoid copyright issues, or perhaps to highlight the game's unique features, all the characters' clothes in the game have been changed to a dark green color that is somewhat similar to the Kassel school uniform.

Including the hat on your head.

Durian's lips twitched; he was speechless.

Now he's thinking about getting through this quickly. If he's not mistaken, this should be related to bloodline.

In Kassel College, bloodline is not entirely related to the bloodline level of the mixed-race individuals themselves, but rather symbolizes authority.

It's somewhat similar to the commonly used concept of "power and influence," where "influence" refers to one's own lineage, and "power" refers to the 3E (Eight, One, Two, Three).

The lineage determined by the exam.

Take Fingel as an example. He is an A-level hybrid. His "strength" is A-level, but his "authority" has been downgraded to E-level. His status in the academy is basically equivalent to that of a snail.

Given this "durian-like connection," even a fool could guess that gaining higher authority would bring numerous benefits.

"Completion time: 4 minutes and 37 seconds, ranking: 894th."

Looking at the pop-up data, "Durian Fire" breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had mentioned the top 1000.

Having played slot machines since childhood, he has some talent for gaming. This time, the "3E exam" has come up right into his hands, and he is determined to get a good result!

For some unknown reason, "Durian Fire" hesitated for a moment and did not immediately choose to continue to the next game. Instead, he inexplicably scrolled through the rankings again.

Lin Zhiying, he can't possibly make this game that fast, can he?

Then he saw that name at the very top of the leaderboard: "Lin Zhiying, completion time 1 minute 24 seconds".

Currently ranked number one.

""

Is it number one again?

"Durian Fire" stared at this scene in disbelief. Could it be that he knew the game content in advance?

Even if you knew the game content in advance, it would be very difficult to do this.

Because he had actually seen them and knew that such people did exist in reality.

These people didn't study very hard; they could get high scores just by glancing at the book.

I can remember the questions and content that the teacher has explained.

What's most infuriating is that these people often have a high talent for playing games.

Is Lin Zhiying really that kind of person?!
