He Xie was very surprised and puzzled. How did Chen Caiqing, an elder of the Divine Plant Cult, manage to get in?
Could it be... that Chen Yu'er invited them?
The two sisters haven't lost contact yet?
wrong!
During this time, I used my bloodline power to spy on Chen Caiqing's every move whenever I had a spare moment.
She never contacted Chen Yu'er at all.
He Xie was completely baffled.
Despite his doubts, he did not go up to expose Chen Caiqing's true colors.
Instead, they pretended nothing had happened, while secretly monitoring Chen Caiqing's every move to see what Elder Chen was up to.
Is this official business, and I'm here to carry out a mission?
Or was it a personal matter, like visiting his older sister?
He Xie needs to observe carefully.
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a familiar middle-aged man's voice rang out from the side.
He Xie turned his head in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Shou, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, as well as Lu Youwen, the president of Shandong University, who hadn't appeared for a long time either.
Looking at the teacher and student who had been missing for a long time and then suddenly reappeared, He Xie greeted them with a smile: "Uncle Chen, long time no see, Principal Lu."
Lu Youwen held a glass of red wine, took a small sip, and asked, "He Xie, what are you doing here?"
He Xie: "President Chen invited me here."
Hearing He Xie's words, Shen Shou became curious and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know President Chen?"
He Xie truthfully replied, "I wouldn't say we know each other. It's just that her daughter and I were high school classmates, and she seemed to like me a bit. She often mentioned me to President Chen, and that's how I got invited over."
"Wait a minute, you said you and President Chen's daughter were high school classmates?"
Lu Youwen frowned and asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, President Chen's daughter is a senior student in the transplantation college, two years older than you, and she didn't go to Shanhai Middle School. How could she be your high school classmate?"
He Xie explained, "The one you're talking about is my eldest daughter, Chen Peilin. The one who was my high school classmate is my younger daughter, a freshman at the College of Plant Nursery this year, a girl named Chen Yuntong."
"President Chen has another daughter? This is the first time I've heard of this. I thought President Chen only had a son and a daughter," Lu Youwen said.
Hearing him say that, He Xie felt inexplicably sorry for Chen Yuntong.
They were born to the same mother and got into the same university as her older siblings, but her mother never told anyone that she was her daughter. This is definitely preferential treatment.
While He Xie was lost in thought, Shen Shou chuckled and teased him, saying, "This Bank Manager Chen's family is incredibly wealthy. It's rare that his youngest daughter is interested in you. You'd better seize the opportunity; marrying her would be a huge win."
He Xie laughed and said, "Uncle Chen, you might not believe it, but my current girlfriend is the daughter of the president of Lin's Trading Company. She's an only child. I've already made a fortune."
Shen Shou: "..."
Lu Youwen: "..."
He Xie's words were very hurtful to the two of them, and they were on the verge of a breakdown.
[The contrast value from Shen Shou is +9689.]
[Contrast value from Lu Youwen: +9869.]
"Cough cough."
After coughing awkwardly twice, Shen Shou acted as if nothing had happened and as if he hadn't heard what He Xie had just said.
As long as I'm deaf, you can't hurt me.
"Thank you, you did very well in the freshman competition."
Lu Youwen took a sip of red wine and said with a smile, "I watched the recording last night. Your strength is already several levels above the other freshmen, and even 99% of the juniors and seniors are not as good as you. This year's National College League may need you to win glory for the school."
"No, no, you flatter me, Colonel Lu."
He Xie said modestly, not showing too much pride.
Seeing his humble and unassuming demeanor, Lu Youwen felt gratified, thinking to himself that he was a promising talent.
At this moment, He Xie suddenly asked, "By the way, Uncle Shen and Principal Lu haven't shown up for so long. Are they out on business?"
He was just trying to ask, not expecting the two leaders to answer.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Shen immediately said, "The situation on the battlefield of ten thousand races is not optimistic recently. Someone from the Dawn Organization contacted us to discuss the matter of recruiting students to support the battlefield of ten thousand races. During the discussion, we went to the battlefield of ten thousand races, which is why we haven't shown up at the school."
"I see."
He Xie nodded, then asked, "By the way, Uncle Chen, what's the situation on the battlefield of ten thousand races now?"
This time it was Lu Youwen's turn to answer. He put down his wine glass, shook his head, and said with a worried expression, "The situation is extremely dire. Not only have we lost most of our territory, but we have also lost many people. It's almost a complete collapse."
"That's a bit serious."
He Xie said with a heavy expression, thinking that the speed of evolution needed to be increased again, otherwise it might be too late.
Given how dire the situation is, it's entirely possible that tomorrow we could suddenly hear that human territory has been breached.
Seeing He Xie frown, Lu Youwen smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Although we suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield of the myriad races during this period, we did gain something."
"During the battle, several geniuses in the Dawn Organization evolved, instantly filling the gap in the number of top experts."
"You've probably heard of that transplant genius named Shi Yi, right? He's been fighting a lot lately, and he's successfully evolved to the legendary level. With his current strength, he can take on an entire city single-handedly."
He Xie raised an eyebrow as he listened. "Just evolved to the legendary level and you can take on an entire city single-handedly? Then wouldn't I, with my creature level reaching the mid-legendary stage, be able to rampage across the battlefield of all races?"
As he was thinking, he suddenly frowned.
He had a deep impression of this human genius named Shi Yi, who was a transplant recipient who had transplanted many epic-level limbs from ancient alien races.
Based on Zhao Keying's previous research conclusion, such a human genius is a hidden danger.
A landmine that could explode at any moment!
He Xie seemed to have figured something out.
The technology of transplantation has no origin in books at all; it seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
In other words, could this technology of transplanting limbs from ancient alien races be a trap set by traitors and ancient alien races?
The more He Xie thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he even began to feel a chill run down his spine.
As he was thinking about these things, Lu Youwen spoke again:
"By the way, President Chen has invited powerful evolved individuals from all over the country to attend his birthday banquet tonight."
"Many of these powerful individuals came with their families, and many of their children are top geniuses from universities across the country, such as Peking University and Shanghai University."
"Many of them may become your opponents in the National College League. You can take this opportunity to try to communicate with them and find out more about your opponents in advance."
After saying this, Lu Youwen and Shen Shou walked towards a crowded area to greet some old friends they knew.
Are there many geniuses from universities across the country at the event?
He Xie was very interested in this, and immediately used the Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy Card to spy on some of his peers who he felt were very strong.
After some observation, it was found that the target creatures were mostly at the mutated level, with a few only at the advanced level and a very few reaching the epic level.
As for the legendary category, there isn't a single one.
"So weak."
He Xie shook his head.
It's not that others are weak, but that he is too strong.
He's only a freshman and he's already evolved to the legendary level. Anyone else would be a weakling in front of him.
After spying, He Xie took out his phone and checked the list of participants in last year's National College Student League, trying to find some names to match with the targets he had just spied on.
"Thank you!"
Just then, a pleasant voice rang out.
The voice was familiar; it was the voice of Chen Yuntong, the "Sea Queen," and it filled me with joy.
He Xie looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Yuntong wearing a pink dress, with two slightly curled ponytails and a pink butterfly hair clip on her bangs. She looked very pure and cute.
It has to be said that Chen Yuntong knows how to dress well and knows what style suits her.
This pure and lovely girl's outfit really appealed to He Xie's aesthetic sense, making him feel refreshed.
"He Xie, when did you arrive?"
Chen Yuntong walked briskly to He Xie and stopped in front of him, smiling sweetly.
He Xie replied calmly, "I just arrived."
Chen Yuntong: "Where's your girlfriend? I haven't seen her."
He Xie: "She has an intra-college competition to participate in tonight, so she doesn't have time to come."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuntong exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it's great that she didn't come. I meant she did very well in the intra-college competition, that's great."
He Xie smiled but didn't say anything.
Chen Yuntong didn't dwell on it. She quickly lifted her skirt slightly with both hands, tiptoed around in front of He Xie, and asked expectantly, "I spent a long time choosing this outfit for tonight. Do you like it?"
"generally."
He Xie said this insincerely.
To be honest, Chen Yuntong's outfit suited his taste perfectly, and he couldn't wait to carry her into the room and have some intense exercise with her.
However, humans are rational beings, not animals that lose themselves when they are in heat.
Although Chen Yuntong's current pure and lovely appearance is indeed very attractive to him, he will not react to it.
As a person, you should have some principles.
Seeing He Xie's unmoved expression, Chen Yuntong felt disappointed, and her enthusiasm for self-expression quickly faded.
The birthday dinner officially began shortly afterward.
As the protagonist of the evening, Chen Yu'er took the microphone and spoke a few words on the high platform of the auditorium. Then, she raised her wine glass and smiled and chatted with the guests along the way.
Behind her were her siblings, Chen Peilin and Chen Yiyu.
As for Chen Yuntong, the youngest daughter, it was as if she didn't exist. She could only stand with He Xie and look at her beautiful and charming mother with longing and envy on her face.
He Xie watched for a while and then got bored, so he quickly went to play games.
After all, the reason he came to Chen Yu'er's birthday banquet tonight was to play these games and win the exotic flowers and fruits.
I must say, these little games are pretty simple.
If you have the ability and are willing to put your heart into it, you can basically get your hands on exotic flowers and fruits.
In this regard, He Xie could only say that Chen Yu'er was a wealthy and powerful man who could afford to offer so many exotic flowers and fruits as a token of his appreciation.
Seeing that He Xie could beat any game on his first try, Chen Yuntong immediately and very sensibly played the role of a little fangirl, praising him with starry eyes as she said how amazing he was.
He Xie pretended not to hear and focused on playing his own little game.
They traveled from east to west, then from south to north, harvesting all the exotic flowers and fruits they encountered.
Seeing He Xie continuously winning exotic flowers and fruits in the game, many people at the scene frowned slightly and showed disdain.
These mini-games are set up to liven up the atmosphere.
Generally speaking, people only play together when they are in a good mood, just for fun.
I didn't play it to win the exotic flowers and fruits inside.
They found He Xie's current act of taking advantage of others despicable.
Of all those present here, who wasn't invited to participate and is not either wealthy or powerful?
What's going on between you two, young couple?
After the birthday banquet officially started, he spent the whole time playing games, coveting the exotic flowers and fruits as rewards. His opportunistic attitude was truly disgusting.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and walked over to He Xie with a frown, saying, "Hey, have you never seen exotic flowers and fruits before? Why are you playing games all the time?"
He Xie looked up at the young man who had come to confront him, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I've never seen so many exotic flowers and fruits that can be obtained for free."
"......"
The young man was speechless. He hadn't expected He Xie to be so shameless as to openly admit in public that he was just getting something for free and taking advantage of others, showing no trace of the demeanor of someone of high status or wealth.
Many people around couldn't stand it anymore and were whispering about He Xie's faults, saying that this young man was really ill-mannered and they didn't know whose child he was.
The ones who muttered the most were young men and women around the same age as He Xie.
They were all whispering about He Xie, saying that although he was so handsome, his behavior was so tasteless. He was a disgrace to the world.
He Xie ignored the sarcasm and ridicule from those around him and continued playing his little game.
He deeply resented Chen Peilin and had a very poor opinion of Chen Yu'er, a woman who took advantage of his daughter. He felt no remorse whatsoever for taking advantage of their family.
Besides, compared to all the exotic flowers and fruits on site, what does a little face matter?
The important thing is to eat more exotic flowers and fruits and improve your own strength as soon as possible.
Once you become powerful, you'll naturally gain respect and prestige.
Conversely, no matter how high your character, how noble your integrity, or how aloof you are, without matching strength, you'll just be a transparent mass of air, ignored by everyone.
Because the world we live in now is a modern-day version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, where the strong prey on the weak.
Only when you are strong can you earn the genuine respect of others.
Or rather, it's reverence.
As for other so-called character and qualities, these should take a backseat to ability.
