Chapter 151 Forbidden City
The princess has been in a bad mood recently. It seems that she has never been in a good mood since she had Zhou Wen as a student.
Zhou Wen’s victory over John had made the princess happy for a while, but she soon lost her joy.
The princess originally thought that after Zhou Wen defeated John, he would build up his confidence, stop giving up on himself, and become a hardworking and diligent student.
But the truth was completely opposite to what she imagined. Ever since Zhou Wen defeated John, he had never been to the other dimension again and stayed in the dormitory all day.
According to the princess's investigation, although she didn't know what he did in the dormitory, every morning when Zhou Wen was basking in the sun on the balcony, he would lie on a chair and play with his mobile phone, clearly playing games.
"You, Zhou Wen, are just like a donkey. You take two steps when I whip you twice, and you take two steps when I whip you twice. If I don't whip you, you just lie there and roll around. Do you really think I can't deal with you?" The princess became more and more angry as she thought about it.
Before, she thought Zhou Wen had finally awakened, but who knew that as soon as the crisis was over, he immediately returned to his original state of being an abandoned house, which was like pouring cold water on the princess's head.
The princess was obviously not someone who could just get by, so she decided that she must make Zhou Wen completely get rid of his bad habit of playing games. She wanted to make Zhou Wen completely quit his internet addiction.
Of course, the reason why the princess insisted so much was because she didn't want to see Zhou Wen's great talent being wasted.
"Do you think you are so great just because you defeated John? You are still far from it. Moreover, he was able to defeat John because of his companion pet, not his own ability..." Thinking of this, the princess' eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile. She had an idea again.
Zhou Wen didn't deliberately avoid going to Hulao Pass, but because he had become too famous recently, when he went out, there were always unfamiliar classmates coming up to talk to him.
Zhou Wen couldn't just ignore others who came to say hello with good intentions, but if there were too many classmates like this, he wouldn't have time to concentrate on playing games.
Besides, he had already demonstrated his demonized general and three-eyed Vajra Warrior, so there was no need to pretend to go to the other dimension. He simply stayed in the dormitory and played games.
Originally, Zhou Wen thought he could play games quietly, but the new academic tasks issued by the princess ruined Zhou Wen's plan.
"Old Zhou, our instructor is treating us ordinary students as special recruits. The homework she assigned to us was the same as what special recruits had received in previous years." Li Xuan complained after seeing the homework.
"What kind of place is this forbidden city?" Zhou Wen asked as he looked at the assignment information.
Their class's new assignment was to go to the Forbidden City and hunt ten bronze beasts, but Zhou Wen had never heard of this other-dimensional realm called the Forbidden City.
Li Xuan said, "The Forbidden City is one of the underground cities in Luoyang, one of the lowest ones. It's not a dangerous place, with many mortal-level extra-dimensional creatures, and the highest level being legendary creatures. However, the Forbidden City has a very special feature: you can't use companion pets there, whether you summon them directly or in a animate state."
"In other words, we need to use our own strength to kill ten legendary creatures?" Zhou Wen understood what Li Xuan meant.
"That's right, because this task requires too high personal ability, in previous years only special admissions students would receive this task. I didn't expect that our class would also have this academic task this year. I'm afraid that most of the students will fail. Those students in our class must be wailing now." Li Xuan said.
"Is this bronze beast difficult to kill?" Zhou Wen asked doubtfully.
Although most of the students are still at the mortal level, the mission is limited to a maximum of four people. With the abilities of four students, it shouldn't be too difficult to surround and kill a legendary creature, unless they encounter a powerful one like a mutated demon general.
Most of the students had completed the previous task of killing ordinary demonized generals.
"It is indeed difficult to kill. According to the information, the main reason is that the bronze beast has good attributes and no obvious weaknesses. Although it is not strong among the legendary level, it is very difficult to deal with. Without the use of companion pets, it is not difficult for those of us who have been promoted to the legendary level, but it will be difficult for those students who are at the mortal level." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"Let's go to the Forbidden City." Zhou Wen suddenly stood up and pulled Li Xuan out.
"Why are you so excited all of a sudden? Don't you want to play games anymore?" Li Xuan was very confused. Zhou Wen had never been so active before.
Zhou Wen said, "Since most of the students are unable to complete their homework assignments, if we can develop a set of strategies that will allow them to complete their homework assignments, do you think they will spend money to buy my strategy?" Zhou Wen said with shining eyes.
"Are you short of money?" Li Xuan was speechless.
"Yes." Zhou Wen nodded seriously.
"What do you want the money for? How much do you need?" Li Xuan asked again.
"I want to invest in the game made by Huang Ji. I have discussed it with him before. I can invest one million upfront. He can make a simple version first, and then continue to develop it when he has money in the future." Zhou Wen said.
"Are you crazy? What era is this? You still want to invest in developing games? Are you developing them for the elderly to play? Nowadays, more and more young people are investing in the other-dimensional field. Except for those elderly people who have not practiced in the past, who still has the mood to play games?" Li Xuan said.
"Me." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
"I'm so depressed. You play games all day long, how can you still be so strong?" Li Xuan was indeed very depressed. On the surface, he seemed to be eating, drinking and having fun, but in private he worked hard to practice. However, compared with Zhou Wen, his progress was obviously much slower.
"You have to play games to become stronger." Zhou Wen said seriously.
"Go away, stop trying to fool me. I won't fall for your trick." Li Xuan didn't mention the money again. If Zhou Wen really needed it, he wouldn't mind helping Zhou Wen. One million wasn't a big sum for him.
But Zhou Wen had the crazy idea of investing in games. Li Xuan felt that he could not be an accomplice, so it was better not to pay the money.
Zhou Wen originally didn't expect to borrow money from anyone, he originally planned to make money on his own.
So Zhou Wen and Li Xuan came to the forbidden city deep underground together.
The style of the Forbidden City is very ancient. Legend has it that the Forbidden City might be the capital of a dynasty in ancient times. It is said to be related to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Wen did not know whether it was true or not.
However, after entering the Forbidden City, Zhou Wen suddenly felt that the several companion pets on his body seemed to have disappeared and had no connection with him anymore.
However, Bajiaoxian and Diting are exceptions. Zhou Wen can still feel their presence and still connect with them with his will.
"Mythical pets are indeed extraordinary." Zhou Wen felt a little happy.
