Several more days passed like this.
After finishing his trivial matters and finding out the location of Qingda Academy, Chu Ge went there as Ye Yu instructed.
It's impossible not to panic when it's a decisive battle against another system host.
[Host, there's no need to worry. The system has made thorough preparations, and you also have allies in the Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, your strength has been enhanced to the peak of the Nine Stars through the Heavenly Dao. While this battle may not be a 100% certain victory, it's almost certain.]
"Phew, I get it. The main problem is that I've never had any real combat experience, so I don't know how strong I am."
Chu Ge said.
Ye Yu understood. That made sense. Although his strength had been steadily and gradually improved through cheating, he, as the current host, had not yet had a single real battle.
But it doesn't matter, Chu Ge's only role in this battle is to be present.
They chatted casually for a while and soon arrived at the gate of Qingdao University.
Who are you looking for?
Since he wasn't a student at this institution, Chu Ge was naturally stopped outside.
"I'm looking for Gu Yun. I'm Chu Ge, his friend. I need to talk to him about something. Could you please call him out?"
Chu Ge grinned. He hadn't been busy for nothing these past few days. He had already found out who the candidates from Qingda University and Lantian University would be participating in the referendum.
The system also told him that he was one of the original chosen ones of this world.
As for why I am one of the chosen ones, that doesn't matter anymore. With the system around, even the chosen ones aren't worthy of shining my system's shoes.
"So you're Chu Ge!"
The gatekeeper was somewhat surprised. In the past few days, Chu Ge's reputation had spread like wildfire throughout the area.
"You are a force to be reckoned with. A single vote is already the finish line that others can never reach in their entire lives. Although Gu Yun from our academy is not as good as you, his achievements are still one in a million. It's just a pity that he ran into a monster like you."
The gatekeeper clicked his tongue in praise, without questioning the authenticity of Chu Ge's identity or whether he was truly Gu Yun's friend.
After all, in the other person's mind, there's no need to lie, since it would be too easy to be exposed. Besides, it's normal for geniuses to be friends; birds of a feather flock together.
"I dare not accept such a title; it is merely an empty name."
Chu Ge humbly replied.
“Young people don’t need to be too modest. Youth is a time for arrogance. This confidence is your weapon. Enough with the small talk. I’ll go call Gu Yun over now.”
"That's what the gatekeeper said."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble."
......
"Someone's looking for me? Who is it?"
Gu Yun asked in confusion.
"Chu Ge, isn't he your friend? Didn't he notify you in advance? That makes sense. If he had notified you beforehand, he wouldn't have needed to come to the academy in person. He probably wanted to give you a surprise."
"That's what the gatekeeper said."
Gu Yun was slightly surprised. He naturally understood that the Chu Ge the other party was referring to was the Chu Ge who had won the world referendum against him.
In the past few days, he has also checked the information of the candidates from universities in North China.
Moreover, given the terrifying profits, Gu Yun had already determined that the other party possessed a system, but he didn't expect them to come knocking on his door so quickly.
"I understand. He is indeed my friend. I didn't expect him to come so suddenly without telling me beforehand. I'll pack up first and then I'll be there."
Gu Yun said, "What kind of surprise is this? It's more like a shock."
He was extremely panicked. In the past few days, he had poured all his profits into improving his cultivation, just in case the other party really came knocking on his door.
I never expected my premonition to be so accurate.
"Alright, I'll be going now."
After delivering the message, the gatekeeper left to return to his post.
Gu Yun's expression immediately turned serious.
"System, what do you think I should do? Run or go?"
[Host, you can't escape it forever. What's coming will come. And even if you're no match for the opponent, the system can protect you.]
The apprenticeship return system responded.
Gu Yun fell silent. "I don't believe you at all. You were so confident before that you would definitely overtake the other side. I didn't expect that by the end of the referendum, the two sides had a gap of about 150 billion."
It's a complete crushing defeat, yet they still boast that they're the strongest system.
Faced with the host's silence, which spoke volumes, the Apprenticeship Return System was enraged and began to defend itself vehemently.
One failure proves nothing; it was just a referendum. It only shows that the other side's system is better suited for this type of problem, not that the system is inferior!
"I never said you were inferior to their system."
Gu Yun sighed.
[Host, is that not what you meant?! The system is a zero sequence! Do you even understand the value of a zero sequence?!]
The apprenticeship reward system uses its own identity as a justification.
"Oh right, system, you're a zero sequence, that's awesome! In that case, quickly come up with a solution to the problem at hand."
Gu Yun was speechless. What kind of zero sequence is this? He didn't understand it.
The apprenticeship return system responded after a moment of silence.
[The only option now is direct confrontation, and the opponent's system is also a zero-sequence system, so it won't be much stronger than ours.]
Gu Yun was somewhat angry. "You can run away in the end, but what about me?"
This system is trying to sell itself! Damn it, I should have believed it in the first place. I should have known better than to bind myself to it.
Only a few months have passed, and now the system is about to cause bloodshed.
The promise to lead him to the pinnacle of life, to become the strongest in this world, was all just empty promises.
But it's too late to say anything now, so let's just bite the bullet and go for it.
They've already come knocking on our door; there's no way to hide now.
I hope the other person isn't too much stronger than me.
According to his plan, although the other party had earned 150 billion more than him, it was still not enough for the other party to cultivate to the eighth star level while idling.
We're all at the seventh-star level, the difference isn't that big, there's still a chance to fight.
Gu Yun soon arrived at the academy gate and saw a boy named Chu Ge.
"We've finally arrived. This isn't a good place to catch up; let's go somewhere else."
Chu Ge stepped forward enthusiastically.
The moment he saw the other person, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.
Oh, so he's just a nobody from Seven Stars. Oh well, it's alright now. He was worried for nothing.
It's safe!
[Ding! The opponent's strength has been detected to be at the peak of the nine-star level. Host, run!]
The apprenticeship reward system immediately issued a reminder.
Gu Yun's pupils contracted. "Damn it, this system messed me up!"
It's cold!
Just as he was about to turn and run away, Chu Ge, quick as a flash, pressed down on his shoulder.
Before his eyes widened in disbelief, he was led away, his arm around his shoulder.
He wanted to call for help, but since he was still within the academy's grounds, if things got out of hand, the academy's experts would probably come to his rescue. But if he was taken elsewhere, he would be completely helpless.
To his horror, he was completely unable to move; his body was entirely pinned down by the other person, and he could only let the other person take him away in an intimate manner.
Chu Ge's lips curled up slightly. "I'm two realms above you, suppressing you is a piece of cake."
The security guard smiled broadly at the two's 'intimate' appearance. They were indeed good friends, so warm and welcoming upon meeting.
"You two have a really good relationship. You should catch up and go out for a nice meal."
"Haha, not bad, not bad, that's what I was thinking too, Brother Gu, let's go."
Chu Ge laughed.
Gu Yun cried out in his heart, "Who's on good terms with you? And you security guard, didn't you see I'm being coerced?! Quick, call someone to save me!"
