Chapter 52
"Sigh, I made so many careless mistakes, otherwise I would have scored six hundred,"
Gu Ran said in a sorrowful tone, though his words were a humblebrag.
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
Six hundred?!
Her cold, clear eyes instinctively narrowed as she looked at the boy beside her with suspicion.
She paused, then said slowly, "Should we... go home and play some games for a bit?"
Play games?
Gu Ran blinked in confusion, turning his head to look at her in surprise. He asked, puzzled, "Why play games?"
"Um... no reason. I'm just worried that you're under too much stress."
Her clear eyes were full of concern. Ye Zhenzhen was genuinely worried that this guy had studied so hard he'd gone crazy and fried his brain.
Under too much... stress?
Gu Ran processed this for a moment, and his face instantly darkened. He said speechlessly, "Ye Zhenzhen, you don't believe me?!"
"Show some respect, call me Sister!"
Hearing him call her by her full name, Ye Zhenzhen didn't even think. She instinctively pouted and reached out her small foot to give him a light kick.
This guy had been getting more and more out of line lately, frequently calling her by her full name.
He was nothing like the obedient boy he was when they first met, making her feel that her dignity as an older sister was being severely violated.
"Pfft! As if I'd believe you. Tell me the truth, how much did you actually get?"
Ye Zhenzhen wouldn't believe he almost scored six hundred even if you beat her to death.
The average score of the advanced class was only a little over six hundred, and that was the result of three years of hard work.
But this guy used to be a two-or-three-hundred-point student. If he could score six hundred after just one month of hard work, how were people who studied diligently supposed to feel?
They might as well just not study at all and start cramming in the last hundred days of their senior year.
"Ye Zhenzhen, don't look down on people!"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
She froze upon hearing this, blinking her eyes in bewilderment and disbelief.
Did this guy just call her a dog?!
"You... you're rebelling against the natural order!"
She gritted her teeth, a flash of embarrassment and anger in her cold eyes, and stretched out her leg to kick the disrespectful guy again.
The two of them bickered and fought all the way home. Without even eating lunch, the triggered girl dragged Gu Ran straight into her bedroom.
"Oh my, why are you in such a rush!"
Gu Ran was yanked into the room. He frowned, reached up to adjust his collar, and then pretended to be serious as he spoke.
In a rush?
Coupled with his tone, Ye Zhenzhen felt like this guy had said something inappropriate again.
He just wouldn't stop, would he?
Her dignity as an older sister was being provoked time and time again. She couldn't help but bite her lip, glaring at him in humiliation and anger.
"What? Don't look at me like that. Please restrain yourself."
Seeing her fierce expression, Gu Ran raised an eyebrow. He wasn't scared in the slightest; instead, he found the contrast rather cute.
Seeing him act all coy while saying such terrible things, Ye Zhenzhen ground her teeth audibly.
"Gu 'Dog' Ran, have you ever heard of the Jiamusi grand sweep kick?!"
Gu Ran: "???"
The next second, rhythmic screams echoed through the girl's bedroom.
...
Too lazy to bother with a certain mentally unstable person, Ye Zhenzhen regained her unapproachable demeanor after venting her anger.
With an indifferent expression on her face, she reached into Gu Ran's backpack, pulled out his answer sheets, and began to look through them one by one.
She wouldn't have known if she hadn't looked, but once she did, she was startled.
The more she looked, the more shocked she became.
Math 94?
Not bad, not bad. He made progress and managed to pass!
Comprehensive Science 184?
Quite good, a huge improvement!
Chinese 102, pretty standard.
English... 146?!!
What was going on?!
Did he cheat?
She blinked, then rubbed her eyes in disbelief, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"Hey, hey, what's with that expression?"
Noticing the look on the girl's face, Gu Ran frowned.
Why was she looking at him like she'd seen a ghost?
So what if he scored 54 on the last exam and 146 on this one? Was it really that outrageous?
Basic operation, just basic operation, no need to be amazed.
Furthermore, he felt that if he hadn't accidentally used a few obscure vocabulary words during the essay section, his score probably would have been even higher.
After all, of the four points he lost, three were deducted from the essay.
But it couldn't be helped. Although his English was good in his past life, the vocabulary he was most familiar with was related to the IT industry.
It wasn't obvious when doing multiple-choice questions, but as soon as he wrote an essay, it was easy to slip in some words never seen in high school.
Even though the teachers at First High were great, they probably hadn't seen many of the words he used, so they might have just marked them as incorrect.
"Did you... really score this yourself?"
Holding the English answer sheet, she examined it left and right, still somewhat unable to believe it.
"What else? Look at this essay. If I didn't write it myself, could I have hired a ghostwriter?"
Gu Ran felt helpless against Ye Zhenzhen's doubts.
Who could blame her when his score increase in this subject was so terrifying?
But he never thought about controlling his score. After all, if he didn't perform well in English, he really wouldn't have had the confidence to score over five hundred.
And if he didn't score over five hundred, how could he make a demand of this girl, Ye Zhenzhen?
At the same time, Ye Zhenzhen remembered that the guy in front of her could make games. She had seen his development process, with the screen full of English code, so she somewhat accepted this reality.
She couldn't help but sigh softly. The motivation of a hobby truly was infinite, making someone who hated studying force himself to master English just to make games.
She attributed the reason for Gu Ran's excellent English to his desire to develop games.
Then, she silently calculated Gu Ran's total score. With a quick addition, she found that it had indeed exceeded five hundred points—he scored exactly five hundred and twenty-six.
Remembering that she had promised to grant him one request if he scored over five hundred, her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.
She had intended to pretend not to mention it and forget the whole thing, but in the next second, Gu Ran asked, "Ye Zhenzhen, looking at your face, you're not planning to go back on your word, are you?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
Her cold eyes shrank, as if he had hit the nail on the head.
Lacking confidence, Ye Zhenzhen nevertheless retorted loudly, "Who... who wants to go back on their word? It's just promising you one request. Don't assume everyone is as stingy as you are, okay?!"
It was as if speaking louder made her feel more confident.
Gu Ran: "???"
He hadn't even mentioned what she might be going back on, and this girl had already outed herself?
A suicide bomber, huh?!
Alright, alright. He had noticed her expression was off earlier, and it turned out she really was thinking about reneging on her promise.
"I've made my decision!"
He suddenly spoke up, startling the guilty girl opposite him.
"What... what have you decided?"
Ye Zhenzhen blinked, her usually indifferent face now showing a hint of unnaturalness.
"My request is..."
Gu Ran spoke slowly, and the girl's emotions fluctuated along with his words. Her pretty face gradually flushed crimson, who knows what she was imagining.
"Go watch a movie with me."
Watch a movie?
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. However, Gu Ran added another sentence, and her heart instantly leaped into her throat again...
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
