Chapter 353: Xiaobai, Work Hard and Become Stronger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The World of Darkness and Shadows.

All of a sudden, Lu Ming had deep doubts about this world.

Damn!

There was even network latency. Who were they trying to fool?!

He even suspected if this world was built based on a real life server. Was that why it could not be found? Shadows or not. Were they in fact virtual holograms?!

It was a pity...

As someone who entered this place in his flesh and blood, he was very certain that this was not the case.

This was truly a new world!

Therefore...

Was it true what the employee said about there being an overconsumption of energy?

However...

Why?

This was such a fine world. What caused the overconsumption?

Suddenly...

The scene of the crazy black lightning strike came to Lu Ming’s mind. His heart instantly trembled. Could it be that...

Ss—

He distanced himself from the suburbs guiltily.

Well...

Zhong Chu was the one who did this. It had nothing to do with me!

...

At this very moment...

In the community.

The warden was collecting the data.

In fact, the truth was very simple.

To display the majesty and prowess of the rules of the World of Darkness and Shadows, the black lightning was extremely horrifying. In theory, each bolt of black lightning could kill one enemy!

No matter how strong or weak!

Regardless of six-star or seven-star!

Therefore...

The black lightning contained ultra powerful energy!

Because of this, the black lightning had only appeared a few times over many years.

According to the records, on average, black lightning was activated only once in every three years in the community. Unexpectedly, there were over hundreds of lightning strikes in one community.

Afterward... the entire system collapsed.

Did using the black lightning to attack monsters work?

Hence, they restrained Zhong Chu immediately.

“Who sent you here...” the warden asked.

“No one.”

Zhong Chu shook his head.

He knew that he could neither spout nonsense nor mention Lu Ming. If he did that, both of them would be dead meat!

“No one?

“Did you deliberately allow yourself to be stabbed?

“What is your motive?” the warden asked coldly. “You’ve been stabbed over a hundred times. Who would believe that you don’t have a motive?”

“I like to be stabbed. Isn’t that enough?”

Zhong Chu hollered.

Shush!

There was suddenly silence in the air.

The warden looked at the bold fonts in the dialog box that popped out above Zhong Chu’s head. He was deep in his thoughts.

He likes to be stabbed... Are there really such kinds of people?

Looking at the stubborn Zhong Chu in front of him, his head hurt.

He could only seek help.

After a long time...

The true big shot in the World of Darkness and Shadows appeared.

Many had been startled awake by the shocking latency. Some big shots just turned their bodies and continued to sleep or cultivate, whereas others woke up and tried to find out what was going on.

For example...

This big shot from higher-up.

Shush!

His figure appeared.

His terrifying aura sent chills down one’s spine.

Zhong Chu could feel his entire body shudder. He was in the World of Darkness and Shadows. If this were the real world, he was afraid that he would have been beaten to a pulp!

“You’re the one that caused the latency?” the big shot said coldly.

There was no dialog box.

His voice appeared in Zhong Chu’s mind directly.

“Yes.”

Zhong Chu was stunned.

“What’s your objective?” that big shot asked calmly.

“I...”

Zhong Chu very much wanted to say that he likes to be stabbed, but when he took a closer look at the calm expression of the big shot, he eventually did not say words that would insult his intelligence.

“I’m actually training my mind.”

Zhong Chu sighed and said, “One senior told me before that although I’m a six-star, my mind is not strong enough so I shouldn’t have hopes of attaining seven-star. Therefore, I’m using this way to stimulate myself! If this were reality, I’m afraid that I would have been long dead. I can only try this method to advance over here...

“I’m sorry.”

Zhong Chu apologized on his own accord.

The big shot had a calm gaze.

Seeing that Zhong Chu took the initiative to apologize, he inexplicably felt some admiration. This was because he discovered that this guy was not wrong.

Well...

It is true that he doesn’t have the endowments to attain seven-star.

If this is the case, the latency storm this time was merely a misunderstanding?

He thought so.

The black lightning rule was established many years ago. Even the warden had forgotten about it. How would the outsiders know about it?

“Understood.”

The aura surrounding the big shot became more benevolent.

Afterward...

He paused for a moment.

He glanced at the Zhong Chu in front of him and suddenly laughed. “It’s fate that both of us were able to meet. Since you want to train your mind in such a way, I’ll help you.”

Hence...

He waved his hands.

Shush!

Shadows circled.

When Zhong Chu came to his senses, he was shocked and terrified to discover that he had appeared in a shadow battlefield.. The shadow soldiers were in the midst of a chaotic battle!

“This is...”

Zhong Chu looked up in fear and trepidation.

Pfft!

A soldier stabbed him and he died on the spot. He then resurrected randomly at the battlefield. Just as he wanted to escape, he was hacked to death by a soldier who had accidentally caught sight of him.

He resurrected again.

The processes kept repeating.

Zhong Chu was stunned to discover that he had fallen into a cycle of battles!

Yes.

That big shot personally customized an illusion to help him train and polish his mind. There, each individual, countenance and expression was extremely realistic!

This was akin to a true world!

Was this considered a chance encounter?

He had no idea.

Mind...

Were there really benefits to training the mind?

Only Heaven knew.

He was not serious when he said that earlier!

However...

This was ultimately not a bad thing, right?

However...

Suddenly...

Zhong Chu broke out in a cold sweat.

This was because he suddenly had a terrifying thought.

That big shot seemed to major in illusions. When he faced the big shot earlier, if he had insisted that he liked to be stabbed instead of wanting to train his mind, would that big shot have given him a similar illusion... Those kinds of illusions where he would be penetrated...

Ss——

The more he thought about the scene, the more painful his asshole felt.

Almost.

He was almost doomed beyond redemption!

...

At this very moment...

Somewhere.

Lu Ming was mourning silently as he saw that Zhong Chu had already lost contact.

He was not that worried. The most serious situation that could occur was the death of his shadow. Zhong Chu was long mentally prepared for this.

Well...

What Lu Ming needed to do was to help Zhong Chu maintain his results!

In fact, Lu Ming was also very surprised.

In the preliminary assessment, Lu Ming helped Zhong Chu to clinch the top place. That was the reason why Zhong Chu requested him to take his place. Unexpectedly, Zhong Chu was the one who killed the monsters himself during the actual assessment...

Bang!

A shadow monster struck at him.

Lu Ming killed it on the spot and integrated the shadow force gradually.

Buzz—

His energy was improving gradually and he was 95% to achieving advanced four-star!

It was only a fine line separating him from peak four-star!

Yes.

Lu Ming had been doing this for the past two days!

When the other people were charging for the rankings, Lu Ming was quietly improving his ability and taking advantage of the World of Darkness and Shadows as much as possible!

He desperately needed advancement!

Over there was the best opportunity for him!!!

“There’s still another five percent left!”

Both Lu Ming’s eyes were shining.

As for the result?

He was not worried at all.

Zhong Chu alone had defeated the rankings. He believed that Gao Tianlang and the rest would not be able to catch up in the remaining time...

However...

Lu Yan was surprised that someone was not in the top ranks – Lu Yan!

She was not even in the top ten!

How could that be possible?!

Sister, are you busy with something again?

...

At this very moment...

Somewhere.

A cold and sinister figure was snaking through the ground. He gingerly approached his target. The closer he was to it, the more chilled he felt. This was because his surroundings were getting increasingly horrifying.

Especially before his eyes —

The corpses were akin to mountains.

Although everyone was a shadow, the shadow behemoths were of enormous sizes and could be easily distinguished, especially the skeletons...

They were piling up like mountains!

To hell with it!

How many did she kill for this?!

Shush!

As the shadow moved forward quietly and bypassed the skeletons, he finally saw his target. A teenage girl with a graceful figure...

Well...

Pfft!

That girl attacked and killed a huge beast again.

The shadow took a glance and actually shuddered in the depths of his heart.

Afterward...

He actually cowered.

He turned around and left without any hesitation!

Although he would at most lose his shadow during the assassination mission and not waste anything else, it was not necessary for him to waste his precious time knowing that he would die for sure!

Wasn’t this mountain of skeletons enough to prove that?!

It was too terrifying!

This lady...

Shush!

The shadow left.

At that very moment...

Lu Yan, who had just killed a shadow behemoth suddenly paused and looked in a certain direction. “An Assassin was here earlier.”

“Why don’t you kill him then!”

A familiar voice rang by Lu Yan’s ears.

Yes.

Qiu Shuyi!

This lady was still video chatting with her...

“That Assassin can give you points!”

Qiu Shuyi was in tears. “Lu Yan, you have changed. You’re no longer the Lu Yan from the past! In the past, Lu Yan wanted to be the first in everything. You’ve become as much a salted fish as your brother...”

It was true.

She was such a fine disciple. Why did she change all of a sudden?!

In this assessment, Lu Yan was actually skiving!

Right from the beginning, she was not focusing on the assessment!

It was fine that she was skiving during the preliminary assessment but she was still skiving now! After killing a few Assassins, she could not even be bothered with them anymore!

How can she do that?

Look at the rest of the students. They are taking the initiative to go after the Assassins!

“It is sufficient.”

Lu Yan bore a calm expression. “60 marks is enough to ensure that I pass. I’ve already killed a few Assassins earlier. It’s fine as long as I’m not eliminated.”

“What happens afterward?”

Qiu Shuyi was befuddled with rage. “You don’t want to be the champion?”

“No.”

Lu Yan shook her head slightly. “It’s pointless.”

An ordinary student might need to use the rankings to prove herself.

However, she did not need to.

She had a perfect plan for her future and was not interested in the associations. Since that was the case, she would give it up to those students who need it.

She had to give the dean some face.

“What are you doing here then?”

Qiu Shuyi remembered the proud look on Lu Yan’s face during her past combats.

“Of course, it’s because of this.”

Lu Yan’s expression was indifferent.

Pfft!

She skillfully took out the core from the shadow behemoth that she had killed. “As long as I have enough of these things, I will be able to open up the network connection of the World of Darkness and Shadows. If I have enough cores, I will be able to create a communication device chip that can connect to a cell network at any legacy site and place.”

Qiu Shuyi looked dumbstruck.

Miss, you came here just for this purpose?!

“Don’t you want to do something different?”

Qiu Shuyi expected better from Lu Yan.

She very much wanted to press this girl on the bed...

It was too infuriating!

“This is the World of Darkness and Shadows!”

Qiu Shuyi reminded her, “It’s not easy to be able to come here and you have the school’s protection. Are you really just going to collect these cores?”

“Well...”

Lu Yan pondered for a moment. “That’s right. I should do something.”

“That’s right.”

Qiu Shuyi felt thankful.

Her family’s silly disciple was finally enlightened!

Afterward...

He saw Lu Yan unlocking her communication device and messaging her brother, “Brother, I’m at a legacy site. Should I get you some special products?”

Qiu Shuyi went mad!

You’re still thinking of Lu Ming during such times?!

What kind of disciple are you?

She had to beat her to death.

“Xiao-yanyan...”

Qiu Shuyi was furious.

“Master.

“Video chatting takes up too much of the network data, I’m hanging up now.”

Beep—

The screen before her eyes turned black.

Qiu Shuyi was speechless.

“Lu Yan!!!”

Qiu Shuyi was clenching her teeth furiously.

It was too infuriating!

Just wait...

Little girl, just you wait, when you come back and sleep at night. Humph...

...

At this very moment...

Lu Yan, who had hung up the call, quietly changed the status setting for Qiu Shuyi from ‘visible’ to ‘invisible’.

Master is good at everything but very annoying...

Who can stand having a nanny protecting them 24 hours a day....

How should I say it?

She is as energetic as a husky.

Well...

Are all the seven-stars like that?

Or is it just Master?

Well...

It seems that I have to find a partner for Master.

Lu Yan thought seriously.

Therefore, in her bucket list, besides helping her brother to improve his ability, she also added helping her master find a suitable partner.

Well, that would work.

Buzz—

Her wristband communication device vibrated.

Lu Ming’s response came.

Lu Yan opened the message with a trace of a smile on her face. Her smile then froze.

Lu Ming, “No need~.”

Lu Yan paused slightly.

No need... ~?!

After contemplating for a moment, she asked calmly. “You’re not Lu Ming. Who are you?”

“Ah!”

An exclamation mark came from the other side. There was a pause. Seemingly realizing that something was not quite right, they hurried with another message: “I am Lu Ming~.”

Lu Yan fell silent.

“~” again?

“Xiaobai?”

Lu Yan was curious.

“Yes~,” the other side responded. After pausing for a moment, she added, “Hello, Sister Lu Yan.”

Why is Xiaobai responding to my messages...

Lu Yan was baffled.

“Where is Lu Ming?” she asked.

“Ahhh...”

Xiaobai was extremely nervous.

How should I reply?

Master has gone out!

Master says he is going to settle something important and to not let anyone know!

What to do?

I cannot hide it from his sister!

Xiaobai bit her fingers and contemplated. After a long time, she responded, “Master is bathing.”

Lu Yan was dumbstruck.

How was she going to respond to this?!

Lu Ming... was actually bathing?!

That was the reason why Xiaobai used his communication device to respond...

This information...

She suddenly felt that her brother’s personal life was very messy. Forget about Miss Xiaoqing, there was Miss Xiaobai now!

After contemplating, she actually did not know what to say.

After a long time...

She responded, “Pay attention to safety.”

Upon finishing her words...

She went offline hurriedly.

Forget it.

As a sister, she did not know what to do in such situations.

She could not possibly do what other sisters usually did, such as posting in forums: ‘Hello everyone, my brother has become very adept at sowing his seedlings. What should I do? Waiting online and rather anxious.’?

That was too stupid!

Forget it.

She would leave it to fate.

Lu Yan resumed her calm expression.

Shush!

There was a faint glint in both her eyes.

The World of Darkness and Shadows before her gradually opened.

Of course, she did not come here to fool around like Qiu Shuyi had said. She was not interested in The First Academy’s assessment either. She came here for a reason.

Shush!

Shadows circled.

Lu Yan stepped into the depths of the World of Darkness and Shadows and into the suburbs, the place where rarely anyone went.

She wanted to verify the truth of some legends.

...

At this very moment...

Xiaobai also heaved a sigh of relief. Sister finally went offline.

She had managed to hide the truth.

Xiaobai was very happy.

“Xiao-Xiaobai, look. No matter how I reply, Sister will question me. This is the only response that Sister will not press me on.

“Am I right?”

Xiaobai felt that she was very quick-witted.

Xiao-Xiaobai was speechless.

“I-is that really the case?”

“Of course.”

Xiaobai was very happy.

She had successfully helped Master hide the truth. However, she did not understand what Sister Lu Yan meant by paying attention to safety? Could it be that...

Sister Lu Yan had guessed something?

“Sister is very formidable.”

Xiaobai sang her praises.

She was her idol, indeed!

Buzz—

Xiao-Xiaobai shone brightly.

“Of course.

“I’m very capable too.”

Xiao-Xiaobai puffed its chest proudly.

Afterward...

It furrowed its brows tightly.

“This is annoying!

“You have not grown up.”

Xiaobai was unhappy.

She felt that the Internet was full of lies...

These days, her figure was still the same. Her legs did not become longer and her boobs did not grow bigger. She merely felt a burning sensation in her body sometimes!

But it was useless!

Hum!

She had been reading the discussions seriously until she came across something that would ensure a 100% improvement.

However...

It seemed that only a seven-star could attain this item.

Well...

She had to advance to seven-star.

Xiaobai thought seriously.

“Xiao-Xiaobai, we have to cultivate diligently,” Xiaobai said touching Xiao-Xiaobai.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Xiao-Xiaobai was glowing.

It had always executed Xiaobai’s instructions unconditionally.

“Well...”

Xiaobai noted down her target very seriously.

Seven-star!

Afterward, she wrote these few words in her notebook, “Xiaobai, you have to work hard and become stronger!”

Well...

She would go and cultivate.
