Chapter 107 Chapter 107
...lost.
Ji Jingming was in a complicated mood at the moment. He felt as if he was wandering in the universe and didn't know where he was. At the same time, he felt strangely relieved that this was the result.
Part of my mind was screaming and crying, "I have brought shame to the Combat Society. I have no face to face the people of Jiangdong!"
The other half, more rational, simply lay back and let things get to the worst, lazily saying, "Great, this is fine too. Why not just go for Plan B and never be a social slave again!"
"...Xia-san, would it be convenient for you to stay for a while?"
Xia Muqing, holding the koi fish she had freed, was looking at the shattered ground. Ji Jingming's question stumped her, and her heart trembled. "President Ji, I don't have any money."
Ji Jingming: “???”
Ji Jingming's mind flashed with emotion, and he didn't know what to say. He had lost the challenge, and his emotions were extremely complicated. And Xia Muqing was actually worried about the repair costs?
"...the training ground's surface is often damaged, so we use quick-acting plastic stone glue, so we don't have to worry about repairs."
Xia Muqing was obviously relieved: "That's great."
The two of them temporarily returned to the spectator seats, but the venue was still dead silent. On the podium, the senior student was sweating profusely as she spoke, "Anyone else want to challenge me?"
The students in the spectator seats all shook their heads.
Who dares?
After watching the extremely explosive battle just now, their proud mystical beasts were nothing compared to those two people!
"Well, that concludes our activities for today. Everyone, please remember to pay attention to the Battle Club group chat when you return. The time and location of the next event will be announced in the group."
After the senior student finished her announcement, she ran off the stage like the wind.
The battle between these two was truly terrifying. For a long time to come, everyone present would recall the scenes they witnessed today with their hearts racing and a sense of shock.
Strong, really strong!
The students stood up and left in twos and threes. After leaving the training ground, they finally relaxed from the extreme sense of oppression and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then they excitedly discussed, "How amazing! A quasi-divine beast can have such power?"
"I really want to see the battle between the divine beasts. Why didn't Mr. Xia send Lord Fengluo?"
"...Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Why send a divine beast to fight a battle that a koi fish can win?"
"Wow, you called Nandou Leihou a 'chicken'? I hope I can still say that next time I'm assigned to President Ji in battle class."
“???”
The discussions gradually faded away, and Xia Muqing was left in the gradually empty training ground. She looked at Ji Jingming in confusion as he took a deep breath, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to her solemnly.
Ji Jingming's expression was not filled with anger for losing the battle as she had imagined, and it didn't seem like he kept her here just to find fault... Thinking about it, Xia Muqing took the paper, glanced at it, and immediately felt unwell.
That was clearly a "letter of appointment as president of the Combat Society."
"Classmate Xia!" Ji Jingming's voice sounded relieved. "You are better than me. Please take the position of president of the Combat Club!"
Xia Muqing: “???”
"Is this appropriate?" She opened her eyes wide in shock. "Isn't the president always a sophomore? I'm just a freshman, there are a lot of things I don't understand at all."
She just wanted to join a club to get some credits, but she didn't expect to take on such a heavy responsibility right from the start?
Ji Jingming looked at her with a sparkling look in his eyes. "But you are even stronger, and you are also a divine beast master. If you lead the Battle Club, it will definitely bring a brighter future to the club."
"Don't worry, the others will assist you as vice presidents. You only need to handle matters that require the president's attention."
At this point, Ji Jingming's voice paused subtly.
Xia Muqing was quick-witted and immediately noticed Ji Jingming's abnormality.
The Yin-Yang butterfly fluttered its wings on her shoulder and waved its antennae gently, conveying Ji Jingming's complex emotions of shame mixed with a bit of joy to her own beastmaster without any dilution.
...No, this is weird.
Is there really anyone who can easily admit that others are better than themselves and sincerely willing to give up the position of president to a freshman?
Xia Muqing's thoughts raced, and she suddenly asked, "President Ji, may I ask, are there many matters that must be handled by the president?"
Ji Jingming: “…”
"It's not that much, right?" Ji Jingming almost bit his tongue. "It can be a bit busy sometimes, but there are also many benefits."
"You can put this experience on your resume when applying for an adventure team, learn a lot from the teachers, and be in the center of the conversation with other schools. Frequently facing challenges from other people and other schools is also a great opportunity for growth... Oh, and the president also gets a fixed monthly salary of 20 credits!"
"How is it? Is it worth it? Hey, Xia classmate, Xia classmate, don't go!"
Xia Muqing frowned and took several steps back, looking at the paper in Ji Jingming's hand as if she was looking at some kind of monster.
"I'm sorry, Senior Ji, I'm not interested in this matter. Goodbye!"
She knew there was something fishy going on!
Look at what Ji Jingming said, what is that?
"Learn more from the teacher" = "Help the teacher with chores more often"
"Standing at the center of the conversation" = "Regularly organizing and participating in off-campus exchange activities"
"Excellent growth opportunities" = "frequently facing challenges from others"...
There are too many things and they are too complicated!
No wonder Ji Jingming looks haggard, with thick dark circles under his eyes, and has several white hairs on his temples even though he is only in college!
Xia Muqing ran out holding the koi fish and the Yin-Yang butterfly as if escaping.
She absolutely did not want to do so much troublesome work, such as communication and miscellaneous work. It sounded like it required complicated interpersonal relationships and meticulous organizational and leadership skills... For her, it would be better to follow Chi Zi to do project research. At least the research was on a topic that interested her.
I do the work of a corporate slave, earning only 20 credits a month, which is only twice as much as an ordinary employee.
Just write a few papers and you will have it.
As for writing the qualifications on the resume... come on, she already has a divine beast, why would she care about that resume?
Would she really continue her studies until her junior and senior years, and then send out thousands of resumes like other students to find a job?
That beast master is too worthless.
Seeing Xia Muqing was about to run away, Ji Jingming was also shocked.
In his Plan B, there was no such thing as Xia Muqing's refusal to take the position.
This was the president of Yan University's most popular combat club, and his prestige was no less than that of the student union president who governed the entire class. Ji Jingming dared to guarantee that anyone else who received the offer would be ecstatic about this supreme honor - but Xia Muqing didn't want it at all?
Wouldn't he lose face again and have to continue being a corporate slave?
No, his thin shoulders can’t bear it!
Ji Jingming quickly chased after him: "Xia, wait a minute, we have something to discuss!"
"If you have any difficulties or don't understand something—don't run away! Let's talk it out!"
Xia Muqing thought to herself, I don't believe you at all. You actually brought a letter of appointment with you to the training ground, and it even had the seal of the student union on it. Ji Jingming must have planned this a long time ago, just waiting for her to fall into the trap.
She didn't stop at all, but when she ran to the door of the training ground, suddenly, a figure rushed over from the side and narrowly stopped her.
He was a young man with slightly long hair and a green scarf around his neck. Behind him stood a rooster with a colorful tail and comb, standing proudly and independently. He exuded a powerful aura and cried out to the little koi in Xia Muqing's arms, "Ji Gu Gu!"
The sound waves blew towards her, and Xia Muqing raised her right hand to block her forehead.
At the same time, the little koi in her arms jumped into the air, aiming at the colorful rooster with its body tensed.
“…Gurgle!”
This chicken has a very strong aura, even stronger than the little purple monkey just now!
Xia Muqing stopped and looked a little unhappy.
She recognized this mysterious beast; it was a second-level Nine-Flame Rooster—a very rare and powerful mysterious beast.
If it is cultivated to the point where even the little koi are nervous, it is at least a quasi-divine beast, and may be very close to a divine beast.
"What do you mean?" Her tone was also a little cold. "I don't want to be the president of the Battle Club, and you still want to force me to buy it?"
Ji Jingming ran over from behind, breathing heavily: "No, no, no, we are not—"
Wen Shaohao suddenly spoke up, "Xia, I heard everything you just said. You didn't want to sit in this seat mainly because there are too many club chores, which would take up your time cultivating your profound beasts, right?"
The new boy had a calm expression and looked much calmer than Ji Jingming.
Xia Muqing looked at him for a few seconds and nodded: "Yes."
Wen Shaohao said, "Please understand our concerns. The Fighting Club has always been the epitome of Yan University's strongest fighting force, but today, you defeated our president in public, and we are truly embarrassed."
"I want to ask you to be the president because I want to save this situation."
Xia Muqing didn't say anything.
She could understand the feelings of the Combat Club. In fact, the other party did not cause trouble for her, but instead wanted to invite her to be the president, which already showed that they had good intentions.
"In that case, why don't we find a compromise?"
Wen Shaohao said, "I can serve as the president of the Combat Club without affecting your daily studies... What do you think of the position of 'honorary president'?"
Xia Muqing: “……?”
Ji Jingming: “???”
Xia Muqing thought she was shocked enough, but she didn't expect Ji Jingming's expression to be even more incredible than hers: "Honorary President?"
"What are you talking about, Literary Master? When did our club get this thing?"
Wen Shaohao spread his hands and said, "You can try to get it. As long as Xia agrees, I'll talk to the teacher for you."
"After all, Xia is a beastmaster. The teacher must be having a headache right now. He has to treat her like an ordinary student, but at the same time, he can't just be an ordinary student. He has to show off his status in some way."
Ji Jingming: "Then the responsibilities of the honorary president..."
Wen Shaohao thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big responsibility. I just want to be able to stand up and serve as the Combat Club's trump card when something big happens. Oh, and even if you don't do anything, you'll still get the monthly credits."
Ji Jingming touched his chin and said, "Is that so? That sounds like a good idea... Wait, what about the president's daily work—"
Wen Shaohao smiled at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Of course, the normal president should do it."
Ji Jingming: “!!!”
Ji Jingming was dazed and almost shouted "Aba Aba" in a daze. At the same time, Wen Shaohao turned around and asked, "If that's the case, is Xia willing?"
Xia Muqing: "...Yes!"
Getting benefits without having to work is simply pie in the sky. If she still doesn't want it, then her brain is rusty.
Wen Shaohao nodded. "Then let's leave it at that for now. We'll go and convince the teachers and the student union later. Please wait a few days, Xia."
"Besides that, I have a small personal request."
Xia Muqing looked up in surprise, and saw that as soon as Wen Shaohao finished speaking, his entire aura changed drastically.
The Nine Flame Rooster spread its wings behind him, creating a massive wave of air. Its comb glowed faintly, its eyes narrowed to the size of pinholes, its fighting spirit awe-inspiring. The moment its wings spread, Xia Muqing's pupils shrank slightly—she discovered that the Nine Flame Rooster before her had three legs.
Mutated Nine-Flame Rooster!
Wen Shaohao's eyes lit up as he solemnly suppressed his excitement. "Xia, my Nine Flame Rooster has an energy value of 143,000W and has also comprehended the rudiments of a divine skill. I'm only one step away from becoming a divine beast."
"Can I have a duel with your Lord Fengluo?"
