Chapter 43 Battle of Zhuolu

The man who was rewarded with two slaps on the face finally sat down quietly, listened obediently to the captain's arrangements for the next step, and raised his hand to signal to join the discussion.

Finally, Ye Yunhe and Qi Heng decided to go back to the dormitory to rest, while Lin Muyu and Si Yu'an remained in the arena to watch the game. After all, the team on the stage might also become their opponent, so the more they could understand, the better.

Leaving behind the shouts and cheers from the audience, the two slowly walked towards the dormitory. As the distance between them increased, Qi Heng gradually came to his senses.

He looked at Ye Yunhe who was turning his head away in an attempt to hide something, and thought: Even though I accidentally closed my eyes and got poked in the face, at least the main characters didn't notice anything wrong, so let's just let this matter slide smoothly.

I hope Xiaoguang doesn’t put his own personal opinions into the comics. Well, not likely.

When Qi Heng was thinking about whether to read the next chapter of the comic, Ye Yunhe, who had been silent beside him, caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly greeted him, nodding politely.

"Sister Qing Yuan? What a coincidence, aren't you going to watch the competition?"

The woman whose name was called came over following the voice. When she saw the person coming, she looked slightly surprised. She immediately put down her phone and walked towards this side.

She had long, algae-green hair, and the uniform she wore was slightly different from others, as if it had been quietly altered to showcase a different sense of fashion. As he walked, the short boots on his feet made a "tapping" sound.

"Good morning, Xiaoye, and this... is Qiheng? I've seen your name on the form, so I think I remember it correctly. By the way, in this direction, are you going back to the dormitory?"

A series of questions came out of her mouth quickly. The woman named "Qing Yuan" smiled familiarly. She first patted Ye Yunhe's shoulder generously, and then looked at Qi Heng with a polite look.

The young man who was being stared at was about to answer when he heard her utter a short interjection again, with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself - my name is Lu Qingyuan, you can just call me Sister Qingyuan like Xiaoye did."

Qi Heng deliberately waited for a few moments to make sure that the other party had really finished speaking this time, and then he followed the previous topic and answered the questions one by one.

But when he finished speaking and fell silent, he found that the gaze in front of him was still fixed on him, and even had a hint of obvious expectation.

"?"

Looking back with some confusion, the boy thought for a moment and came to a conclusion based on the shape of Ye Yunhe's mouth.

He was silent for a moment, and under the other party's increasingly fiery gaze, he obediently called out "Sister Qingyuan".

Sure enough, Lu Qingyuan looked away with satisfaction.

She turned to look at Ye Yunhe who was trying not to laugh. As if she had thought of something, the bright smile on her face faded a little, and she said with lingering fear:

"I was assigned a mission a few days ago, so I wasn't in charge of your team in the last instance. As a result, when I arrived at the government yesterday, I heard... I didn't expect so many things to happen in just a few days. Anyway, I'm glad that you're all okay."

"There have indeed been many disasters recently." Ye Yunhe patted her shoulder soothingly, "Don't worry, we'll be fine. Sister Qingyuan, you're on the front line, so you have to pay more attention to safety. This competition will not be peaceful."

"Yes, I understand."

Lu Qingyuan nodded heavily, quickly got rid of her bad mood, and her mouth returned to its original liveliness.

"Then I wish you good luck in the competition. Remember safety comes first! I don't have any missions these days, so I can come to the stage to cheer for you."

"I've also heard about this year's top prize. It was actually provided by an alien with special abilities. I could hear the noise in the audience from a long distance away."

"Unfortunately, I just finished a long phone call and didn't have time to check on that person. You must have seen it, right? Tell me quickly how shocking the scene was!"

......

He turned out to be even more familiar with people than Si and An. I wonder how long it will take to get back to the dormitory now.

Qi Heng stood there, like a ruthless talking machine. It hadn't been long, but he felt inexplicably thirsty.

Ye Yunhe beside him was obviously used to it. She skillfully chatted with the enthusiastic senior, and in her spare time she cast a "reassuring" look at the young man next to her. With his hands behind his back, he tapped the rhythm with his fingertips and waited patiently.

Sure enough, not long after, the urgent ringing of a cell phone interrupted the conversation.

Lu Qingyuan stopped talking, raised her phone to look at the caller's name, then raised her head sheepishly and gestured to the two of them.

Seeing this, Ye Yunhe immediately said, "It's okay, Sister Qingyuan, go and do your work, we'll talk again next time we have a chance."

"Okay, I'll go answer the phone first. Just remember to find me if you have anything!"

Lu Qingyuan nodded, and finally gave them a hearty smile, then pressed the call button and walked back to her original corner.

The two people behind him instantly fled the scene at the fastest speed.

On the way, Ye Yunhe quietly explained to Qi Heng: "When I first met Sister Qingyuan, even Si and An were tired of talking. But don't worry, she usually has her cell phone with her, and she will usually be called away after chatting for five minutes."

"As for the reason, it's because she has a lot of things to do. Of course, she also has a lot of friends. She can be said to be the most popular person in the entire government."

"No wonder." Qi Heng thought for a while and admired him very much. He decided to run away when he saw the other party when he used this identity in the future.

"Is she the rescuer in charge of your team?"

He asked, recalling the conversation he had with the protagonists.

Ye Yunhe nodded, the two of them had already reached the dormitory area, the corridor was empty and no one was around, so she stopped speaking in a low voice and began introducing herself to the boy.

"Yes, Sister Qing Yuan joined the government two years ago. Because of her powerful supernatural powers and stable teleportation, she was later assigned to the rescue team and is now a core member of the government."

"But we haven't met many times. After all, we have only cleared two high-level dungeons, and she is usually busy and rarely seen."

Qi Heng understood.

Both of them were fast walkers, so they didn't talk for long before they reached the door of the room, shook the doorknob and said goodbye to each other.

——

After entering the dormitory, Qi Heng pulled off the hair tie behind his head and let his hair fall on his shoulders.

He fell backwards into the bed, raised his wrists and placed them on his eyes. He closed his eyes and carefully felt his consciousness being split into two, and the faint breath of daylight in the distance.

Through another perspective, he can even watch the game in progress from his dorm room.

I just feel a little dizzy and I'm not used to this perspective yet.

The ball of light was also switching between the two bodies. Seeing that he was feeling a little uncomfortable, it quickly used its energy to gently soothe him, just like it did when they first met.

After Qi Heng's frown had calmed down, it began to speak:

"Just bear with it for a while. After this period of time has passed, we can plan a scenario where the two vests meet."

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it." Qi Heng sighed, "Fortunately, I have the original world line as a reference answer, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do so many things."

"May I remind you that some of these things were deliberately added by you?"

Guangqiu was speechless. He felt like he had a heart attack when he thought about the other party's outrageous remarks during the negotiations with the top leaders.

Although my status has improved, my workload has also increased!

"How could that be? That's why I can be completely tied to the interests. Look, no one stopped me when I dozed off on the spot just now."

Qi Heng sighed again, feeling sad that his partners did not understand his good intentions.

With a ball of light in his head making a discontented retort, he turned over, buried his face in the soft quilt, and rubbed it, with a happy smile on the corner of his lips, and whispered:

"Don't worry, we won't lose money."

......

The group that fought in the afternoon was a small team formed by idle psychics. They were far inferior to the four in terms of tacit understanding and strength. Therefore, even if the opponent fought hard without knowing about the cult attack, they did not pose much threat and were successfully defeated by the few people who had experienced the attack of evil spirits.

Amidst loud and enthusiastic applause from the audience, the four successfully advanced to the intermediate level at the referee's announcement and left the stage one after another.

Si and An followed at the back, smiling and waving their arms at the cheering audience, looking very excited. Qi Heng turned around inadvertently and was almost blinded by the dazzling smile that was as bright as the sun.

After stepping down from the stage, Ye Yunhe looked up with some disappointment. There was an empty seat with no one in sight.

"What a shame! I thought I could get a closer look at that mysterious man, but when it was our turn to compete, he disappeared."

If he were here, I would be the missing person.

Qi Heng replied silently.

"Go back to the room and rest." As a player who watched the game in the morning, Lin Muyu thought for a moment, "After all, he has been resting his eyes all morning."

Si Yuan agreed, "Indeed, I feel like the senior executive next to him is about to break his teeth."

Qi Heng turned his head and looked into the distance, refusing to participate in this topic.

When they met up in the afternoon, the protagonists told Qi Heng one by one about the outrageous thing that "the mysterious man who helped us twice became our boss."

Obviously, Qi Heng, with his expressionless face, was unable to provide much emotional ups and downs. In addition, for some well-known reasons, he could only try to say "Oh" in a non-bland manner, and then stare at the empty seat on the stage with wide eyes, trying his best to show his disbelief without making himself OOC.

I don’t know if his efforts brought any comfort to the other three people, but they seemed quite satisfied anyway.

The intermediate competition will be held tomorrow. The battle teams and time will be sent to the captain’s mobile phone at 5 pm. This time, the four of them planned to stay together to watch the game. Each of them held a cup of special drink in their hands and sipped it slowly. With the addition of the drink, the speed of energy recovery was significantly accelerated.

Coincidentally, the next team to fight includes the twins mentioned earlier.

Lin Muyu carefully observed the competition stage, analyzing their team's habits and plans from every angle.

"Of these two brothers, it is the younger brother Sheng Mu who is the auxiliary amplification brother who is more impatient and his moves are more ruthless."

The situation on the stage was ever-changing. He watched intently and spoke softly.

Si Yuan was also watching carefully from the side. After hearing this, he subconsciously replied, "Maybe every support wants to be the C."

At least this support can indeed be a C.

Qi Heng noticed the bow and arrow held tightly in Sheng Mu's hand. After asking himself about the material of the light ball, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

"The bow in his hand is made of toxic and paralyzing materials. When the energy is condensed into an arrow, it will automatically add a debuff, the strength of which depends on the amount of energy. In addition, the raw stone inlaid on the top can also make the shot arrow have a short-term tracking ability."

"Although he has not shot a single arrow so far, if the timing is right, he can turn the current situation around."

"Hiss..." Ye Yunhe took a breath, shocked by the generosity of the Dawn Guild.

This set must be a drop from an S-level copy, and it is forged from raw materials.

Their weapons were all forged through supernatural powers. Although he had obtained the raw materials for perfectly passing the A-level copy, it only enhanced the corresponding attack power and toughness reduction ability. At that time, Si Yu'an was disappointed for a while because his greatsword still could not emit a cool light.

Sure enough, the battle situation on the stage took a sharp turn for the worse after being evenly matched at the beginning. After seizing the opportunity, the Dawnbreak Guild team reversed the situation with just one arrow, successfully won the final victory and advanced to the intermediate level. There was an immediate burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

The sun was pouring down, Qi Heng raised his hands to block the glare in front of his eyes, and in a trance he met the eyes of someone on the stage. He blinked his eyelashes, but it was nowhere to be found.
