Exploding God

"Aze!"

"Wait for me!"

When Lu Ze reached the first floor, he heard Liang Bo's anxious shouts coming from the stairwell.

The boy, wearing a school uniform tied around his waist and a navy blue T-shirt, ran down panting and patted Lu Ze on the shoulder.

"Are you crazy?!"

With red eyes, Liang Bo turned Lu Ze around, saying, "That scumbag Black Ape is capable of anything."

Lu Ze looked up at Liang Bo's anxious face, grinned, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "He should be the one worrying."

"Stop acting crazy! Here's the deal, I'll take responsibility for this. Listen to my plan, let's get out of the school first."

Liang Bo swallowed hard, a resolute look in his eyes. Without another word, he dragged Lu Ze towards the school gate. Lu Ze didn't refuse; instead, he asked with feigned interest, "How will you carry it?"

"That bastard Yuan Hui will definitely try to stop you from taking the college entrance exam, which is crucial for you. Aze, your theoretical scores have always been among the top in your grade, so don't worry. As long as you work on your practical exam scores, getting into an A-level university isn't impossible! Then your dream of moving from the Red Brown Zone to the Dome Zone will become a reality."

"My plan is this: I'll pay for it, and I'll hire some underground boxing fighters in Shangnan City to take action. All we need to do is beat Yuan Hui so badly that he has to be hospitalized, and then he won't be able to bother you anymore."

Liang Bo's eyes grew more and more determined as he spoke, and at the end he clenched his fist, "It's settled! I'll handle the whole thing. You'll come as usual these next two days, or they'll suspect you."

The so-called comprehensive evaluation score is a personal score calculated by the state based on a comprehensive reference to various aspects such as credit, contribution, ability, and wealth. This score directly affects a person's place of residence.

The residential areas are generally arranged in this order across all major free districts:

Low-level security zone – reddish-brown zone (0-50 points);

Intermediate security zone – Azure Zone (51-70 points);

Advanced Security Zone - Dome Area - Light Green (71-80 points);

Special security zone – Dome area, dark green (81-95 points).

Lu Ze's overall evaluation score is 29.6. He gets an extra 10 points if he gets into a B-level university and an extra 20 points if he gets into an A-level university. If the university is a military academy, he will get an additional 3 points. In other words, as long as Lu Ze can get into an A-level university, his overall evaluation score will reach 49.6. After that, breaking through 50 and moving his family out of the red-brown zone will be a piece of cake.

Lu Ze sighed and finally stopped, looking at his good brother's youthful face, feeling a mix of emotions.

He hadn't felt this feeling of having his brothers by his side for far too long, no matter when or where.

Or rather, it was only after Liang Bo's death that he truly became that cold and powerful general, feared by countless extraordinary beings throughout the heavens and stars.

"What's wrong, Aze?" Liang Bo noticed the other's strange expression and subconsciously touched his own face.

"From the moment we started living in this fortress, we've been under the surveillance of the Sky Eye system. The underground black boxing you mentioned is, strictly speaking, Shangnan's underground black market, where you can indeed hire a killer."

"But from the moment you step out of the Shangnan campus, all your movements will be under the surveillance of the Public Security Bureau. The underground boxing is located in Changyang Street, Dongcheng District. Even if there is no surveillance nearby, when the time and behavior match up to 80%, the person who hired the killer will be obvious."

Hearing Lu Ze's calm analysis, Liang Bo's face grew increasingly grim. "Then I'll place the order using an encrypted phone."

Lu Ze patted Liang Bo on the shoulder, "Come with me to the school gate first."

This time, Liang Bo's emotions were somewhat calmer. He obediently followed beside Lu Ze. His mind was a mess, half of which was due to the foolish decision he had just made, and the other half was pondering, "Why does A-Ze know that the underground black market is in Changyang Street?"

"Why do you know...?"

"Do you know the location of the underground black market, or the location of the Sky Eye's deployment?" Lu Ze asked without turning his head, instantly silencing Liang Bo's words, who almost choked on them.

"Yes, how do you know so much!"

Lu Ze smiled nostalgically as he looked back at the campus and said, "That's not the point. The point is why you did this. When did I ever say I wouldn't take the college entrance exam?"

"……what?"

"Liang Bo, aren't you preparing to apply to Dunlong Academy, the third-ranked A-level university in Shanghai?"

Liang Bo felt like a complete idiot and subconsciously replied blankly, "Yeah, how did you know? I haven't told anyone yet."

"Then we'll meet in Shanghai." Lu Ze's gaze swept over every blade of grass and tree in front of him, and finally looked up at the huge and transparent light shield that enveloped the entire city under the blue and peaceful sky. All the life-and-death dangers he had experienced, along with the faces of enemies and friends, kept flashing before his eyes, and finally transformed into the cold little face of Wu Ji after she grew up. The boy's gaze softened.

"It's just a simple college entrance exam. I'll protect you when you get to Shanghai."

If Liang Bo had a mirror right now, he would definitely see his utterly bewildered face. What did he mean by "simple" and "just the college entrance exam"?

And Lu Ze... are you trying to cover your face for me?

After a full three seconds of stunned silence, Liang Bo jumped up abruptly. "Lu Ze! Have you really lost your mind?! The college entrance exam! That's a test where the A-level admission rate is only 5%, and the college admission rate in Shanghai is even more pitifully low!"

"Come on, come with me to the hospital first. I have a VIP card at the municipal hospital. Let's check your brainwaves first, then do an MRI. The mental health care there is also quite good."

However, just as Liang Bo was getting frustrated, he suddenly stopped, staring intently at the corner of the flower bed in front of him.

Lu Ze followed Liang Bo's gaze, immediately understood, and shook his head with amusement.

Shangnan High School is so big, how could I still run into her? It seems Liang Bo is destined to have many romantic encounters.

A brown baseball cap held down her short hair, which was dyed light purple, and cropped jeans accentuated her slender and shapely calves. Her silvery laughter was full of youthful energy.

Wang Jun, a senior high school student in Class 5, is a certified 2-star warrior and a construction machine pilot. She was specially recruited by Donghua Military Academy two months ago. Her alluring figure is the object of many boys' dreams. She is a well-deserved star of Shangnan High School.

However, when he saw another serene figure emerge, Lu Ze's eyes narrowed, and he was filled with mixed emotions.

"Yunxue, are you going to Wangbei Academy or Longmu Academy? When I come looking for you, you can't forget who you are!" Wang Jun affectionately pulled the girl next to him, his laughter captivating.

The girl next to Wang Jun wasn't as stunning as Wang Jun in terms of figure and appearance at first glance, but she was enough to draw all eyes to her just by standing there.

Her bright eyes possess both feminine charm and a touch of masculine spirit. The black sandals with crisscross straps paired with the retro ivory white dress, occasionally revealing her fair ankles, perfectly accentuate her gentle temperament.

Her name is known to everyone on this campus.

Lin Yunxue, the top student in Shangnan, the most influential figure, the record holder for first place in overall performance for three consecutive years, and a certified 4-star warrior of the China Combat Association, is known as the "Moonlight White Knight"!

"Wang, Wang Jun, these are flowers for you. You're here today too, hahaha... What a coincidence."

Liang Bo, his face flushed with excitement, ran up to the girl and handed her a freshly picked bright red rose, speaking in an awkward tone that made his scalp tingle.

In the vast campus, during a break between classes, many students turned their attention to the scene, and their eyes lit up when they saw the person in question.

The two girls were taken aback for a moment, then Lin Yunxue looked at her companion with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Wang Jun's gaze turned cold, shifting from the bright red rose to Liang Bo's face, which was plastered with a radiant smile, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

She held out two fingers, then pinched the flower stem in Liang Bo's excited, almost explosive gaze. She smiled, casually tossed the flower into the nearby flowerbed, as if throwing away a piece of trash.

Wang Jun slightly raised her chin, said nothing, and looked at Liang Bo with a faint scrutiny.

Liang Bo's gaze froze, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. His face flushed red with a touch of panic, and he tried to bow his head, apologize, and leave.

"Hahaha! Liang Bo, you're really a toad trying to eat swan meat."

"What, you think you can confess your feelings now that the college entrance exam is coming up? Take a look in the mirror and stay away from your goddess from now on. You're just relying on your mom's money. Our Shangnan High School's goddess isn't someone you can covet."

Right next to it was a basketball court. A tall, handsome guy blocked a shot with one hand, then stood on the sidelines holding the ball and laughing loudly. Several teammates next to him also laughed heartily.

Zong Pengxiao, a top student in Class 1 of Senior Three, ranks among the best in both practical and theoretical studies. In addition, he loves sports and is tall and handsome, making him the prince charming in the hearts of many girls. However, it is common knowledge that his target has always been the dance goddess Wang Jun.

"I'm sorry, I..." Liang Bo was so embarrassed that he didn't want to pick up the rose at all, and just wanted to run away.

Seeing this, Lin Yunxue frowned slightly and said softly, "Class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom."

A soft snort, tinged with mockery or sarcasm, escaped from Wang Jun's nose. She looked at Liang Bo, whose head was almost buried in the ground, with a playful expression, and prepared to pull Lin Yunxue away.

However, at this moment, no one expected Lu Ze, who had been watching from the sidelines the whole time.

The boy, whose presence was almost nonexistent, sighed softly and walked straight up to Wang Jun.

In front of the two beauties from Shangnan High School, he casually plucked a dandelion and handed it to Wang Jun, its long, white fluff being scattered by the breeze.

Wang Jun's gaze was cold and arrogant as she looked at the calm and composed face before her.

A hint of surprise finally appeared in Lin Yunxue's beautiful eyes, because what she saw in the eyes of this classmate in front of her was only the most thorough calmness, not feigned maturity, but genuine tranquility.

"What do you mean?" Wang Jun asked coldly. She hated those who pretended to be mature when they were young, even if the other person's eyes were deeper than her father's.

Lu Ze smiled and said, "These flowers are for you. Don't overthink it. He's not a man you can have."

Because he is the man who will belong to the daughter of the Silver Moon Clan's Grand Duke.

These words flashed through Lu Ze's mind.

Liang Bo looked up in astonishment: (⊙＿⊙)！

what? !

Wang Jun's mouth finally opened in surprise and astonishment. Her eyes were filled with confusion, because of the devastating impact of those words...

It completely exceeded my expectations.
