Chapter 126
Cen Xun's return seemed to give a reassurance to the monsters in Nightmare University. The change in the domain master's authority did not bring any impact to the school. With the fall of [Time], Cen Xun returned to power, and the monsters breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because they had worked under Cen Xun for a long time, they were more accustomed to Cen Xun's style. Therefore, during the time when [Time] was the president of Nightmare University, they felt that something was wrong everywhere.
Now, everything is back on track, and everyone at Nightmare University is filled with joy.
On the way to the office, Cen Xun actually received a lot of enthusiastic "confessions" from faculty and staff.
"Principal, you are finally back. Woohoo, I missed you."
"If I hadn't been unable to defeat Principal Shi, I would have really wanted to assassinate him. Fortunately, you returned safely."
"Principal Cen, the most wise and powerful in the history of Nightmare University, I will follow you for the rest of my life."
Cen Xun: “”
Cen Xun couldn't help but start thinking about his appearance.
Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Feng Jihan raised the corners of his lips slightly, leaned over and asked him, "What are you thinking about?"
Cen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "I was wondering, when I was the principal, was I very good to them?"
Cen Xun found it incredible that the employee, who was originally very normal, suddenly became full of admiration for him.
Feng Jihan understood what Cen Xun was wondering about, and instead found it amusing: "For employees, if you don't deduct wages, don't beat or scold employees, and don't make trouble by assigning tasks that employees can't complete, isn't that what makes you a good boss?"
At this point, Feng Jihan sighed, "You may not think it's a big deal now, but if it were before the great war, under the law of the jungle, low-level monsters would be preyed upon by higher-level monsters, leading to a lifetime of wandering and wandering until they die at the hands of a larger monster. How could they have lived such a peaceful life now?"
"Is Principal Cen not good enough? Principal Cen is the best principal." Feng Jihan gently brushed Cen Xun's long hair that fell behind him. In contrast to his gesture, his expression was serious. "You founded Nightmare University, providing great protection for these monsters. You also set school rules to prevent monsters from killing each other. Not only did you not eat them, you also gave them the opportunity to earn points. These points alone are enough for those monsters to be grateful to you."
Facing Feng Jihan's praise, Cen Xun said modestly, "But this was not my original intention in establishing Nightmare University."
Feng Jihan smiled and said, "A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart."
Just as Cen Xun said that everything was just due to the deal with the old principal, he still fulfilled his promise and took good care of the faculty and students.
But [Time] is different. The concept of [Time] cannot be completely consistent with Cen Xun. As for the faculty and staff of Nightmare University, he only treats them as food.
"If it weren't for the school rules you set, do you think time would massacre the faculty and staff of Nightmare University?" Feng Jihan asked Cen Xun.
Cen Xun said without hesitation: "Of course."
Feng Jihan: "This is one of the reasons why your employees are more inclined towards you."
Only after experiencing the hardships of working under other weird people can one discover Cen Xun's amiability.
Upon hearing this, Cen Xun didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was unknown what evil thoughts he had in mind.
During the conversation, they soon arrived at the office. On the first day back to work, Cen Xun found that some of the furnishings in his office had changed. The chairs and some decorations on the table were replaced with new ones.
Secretary Wu explained: "Some of it was lost by Principal Shi, and some was lost by me. For example, I replaced the chair that Principal Shi sat on with a new one."
Usa's tone was filled with undisguised disgust. It was obvious that during the time he had been playing along with [Time], he was full of disapproval of his new boss.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Cat." Cen Xun sat down on the new chair and glanced at the table. He didn't see his panda cup, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "My cup..."
Wusa suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and took out a box from the cabinet. Inside the box was the panda cup that Cen Xun was used to using.
"I was afraid that Principal Shi would smash it, so I put it away on purpose."
Usa carefully placed the cup on the table. This was the principal's favorite cup, and he had placed it there early.
Even Feng Jihan couldn't help but admire Secretary Wu's attentiveness.
Without waiting for Cen Xun to reach out his hand, Feng Jihan picked up the cup first, stroking the not-so-distinctive panda on the cup with his fingertips, as if some memories were brought back to him.
This cup was made by Feng Jihan himself one year after their marriage as a gift to Cen Xun. Unexpectedly, Cen Xun has been using it for so many years.
Just like this marriage, when Feng Jihan first married Cen Xun, he did not have much hope for the longevity of this marriage.
At that time, they didn't quite understand love. He thought Cen Xun only valued his body and was reluctant to let him leave.
But he didn't expect that they would be able to spend such a wonderful period of time together in marriage.
If the nightmare world had not restarted, if he and Cen Xun had not disagreed, perhaps this marriage would have lasted longer.
Feng Jihan was distracted for a moment, his eyes fixed on the cup. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but suddenly said to Cen Xun, "When I have time, I'll take you to see real pandas."
Cen Xun paused after hearing this and looked at Feng Jihan.
Feng Jihan looked at Cen Xun steadily: "I said a long time ago that I would take you to see it, and now you can see it."
There are no living pandas in the nightmare world, so Cen Xun could only see the appearance of pandas from various images and derivative products.
It’s different now. The passage between the two worlds has been opened. As long as Cen Xun wants, he can go and see it anytime.
As a devoted panda lover, Cen Xun certainly didn't refuse and immediately agreed: "Okay."
He casually opened his intelligent brain ring, glanced at the date on it, and quickly decided: "Let's set it for three days later."
Feng Jihan didn't expect that just because of his suggestion, Cen Xun would decide on the spot the time to go see the pandas. He couldn't help but sigh at Cen Xun's love for pandas.
At this time, 0002, also known as Chen Yaoshan, walked in. He first glanced at Feng Jihan, as if surprised that Feng Jihan could actually appear here, but soon he could no longer care about Feng Jihan. He quickly presented the box in his hand to Cen Xun's desk, coughed lightly and said, "Principal, Dean Tong is no longer in danger. It's just that the time reversal in his body cannot be lifted for a while, so..."
Feng Jihan looked at the box curiously. Tong Ming, the peeping Tom, was also affected by the time reversal. Wouldn't Tong Ming also turn back into
Feng Jihan was thinking about this when Cen Xun had already opened the box. The eyeballs in the box immediately popped out and jumped up and down on Cen Xun's desk, looking very excited.
Cen Xun seemed to be able to communicate with his eyes. Seeing this, he calmly said, "You're in this state now. You just saved your life from Time, and you're already thinking of looking for Xiao Zhou?"
Feng Jihan's face darkened when he heard this, and he said to the eyeball in a bad mood: "What do you want from Xiao Zhou? Do you want to see him crush you with his foot?"
Upon hearing this, his eyes immediately jumped even more happily. Cen Xun helped Tong Ming translate, "He said Xiao Zhou is soft-hearted. Seeing him become like this, he can only feel sorry for him and won't crush him."
Feng Jihan said with a hint of sarcasm: "I only feel sorry for you. I really don't know where you get your confidence from."
After saying that, without looking at the eyes that were jumping around in frustration, Feng Jihan turned to ask Cen Xun: "How do you know what he is talking about?"
Cen Xun folded his arms and said, "The special connection between a domain master and his followers."
Feng Jihan was annoyed by the eyeball's jumping around, so he reached out and grabbed it in his hand: "He's also been hit by the time reversal, can he be cured?"
"Yes, I've learned the skill [Time], which can set Tong Ming's time back." Cen Xun said, "But the knock-off skill doesn't take precedence over the original, so if I were to set the speed, Tong Ming's recovery would be slower."
Cen Xun can indeed learn other people's skills through the skill [Where many people walk, there must be one who can teach me], but there is a problem in putting this skill into practice, that is, when facing the real master, the skills learned cannot compare to the authentic skills.
For example, if Cen Xun learned Feng Jihan's [Godless Domain] and released [Godless Domain] at the same time as Feng Jihan, then according to the rule of authentic priority, Feng Jihan's authentic [Godless Domain] would cover Cen Xun's counterfeit [Godless Domain].
Similarly, when [Time]'s time reversal and Cen Xun's fake time acceleration work at the same time, the effect of the fake time acceleration is weaker than the genuine time reversal.
After figuring this out, Feng Jihan couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you seize [Time]? Why didn't you let [Time] remove the skill?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Xun's eyes turned slightly cold as he looked at the eyeball in Feng Jihan's hand: "Ask him why Time was so angry with him that it refused to remove its skill."
[Time] of course hated Cen Xun the most, but the second person he hated was Tong Ming. No one knew how this guy Tong Ming had attracted such hatred, which led to [Time] holding on to Tong Ming and refusing to let go, determined to drag Tong Ming into the water.
The difficulty is that the contract that Qin Xiu tricked [Time] into signing only includes the points transaction, and does not include the clause that he cannot harm the faculty and staff of Nightmare University. Therefore, in Tong Ming's case, Cen Xun cannot use the contract to force [Time] to cancel the skill, nor can he threaten him to cancel the skill by killing [Time].
Under Cen Xun's cold gaze, the eyeball in Feng Jihan's hand gradually stiffened.
Feng Jihan smiled and said to Yanzhu: "You are such a cheapskate, you should learn a lesson, you hit a wall this time, right?"
His eyes started twitching again in anger.
Cen Xun didn't know what it said, his expression unchanged: "I will help you notify Xiao Zhou, but whether Zhou Mian comes or not depends entirely on his mood."
With the help of Yaxu, Cen Xun logged into Tong Ming's account and sent a message to Zhou Mian, explaining Tong Ming's current situation and asking Zhou Mian whether he wanted to take Tong Ming away.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Mian replied quickly: "Okay, I'll be there after get off work."
Seeing that Zhou Mian would not come to pick him up until after get off work, his eyes, which were almost glued to the screen, were filled with anger, bouncing around on Cen Xun's desk like a pinball, disturbing Cen Xun's restlessness.
Cen Xun's patience quickly ran out, and he said coldly, "It's already very good that Xiao Zhou is willing to take you with him. Don't you usually try to improve his favor? Now you're feeling wronged?"
“Be honest, otherwise I don’t mind playing table tennis with Feng Jihan before starting work.”
Hearing the chill in Cen Xun's words, his eyes immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
Chen Yaoshan, who witnessed the whole process: ""
What a picture of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other!
Chen Yaoshan felt that he had nothing to do next, so he said goodbye and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Feng Jihan.
He looked at Feng Jihan in surprise, and just in time saw Feng Jihan lean close to Cen Xun's ear and whispered, "Brother, I want to ask you to borrow Dean Shen."
Upon hearing this, Cen Xun looked at the confused Chen Yaoshan and asked, "What are you borrowing him for?"
Feng Jihan explained: "Dean Shen is from the Shen family, and the Shen family's Shenrui Group is related to the [Divine Fetus], so..."
Cen Xun agreed without waiting to hear the whole thing, as fast as a monarch bewitched by a concubine: "Okay."
Feng Jihan: "Then I would like to borrow my captain's [Solid Heart Like a Realm]."
Cen Xun: "Okay."
Feng Jihan: "Congratulations on the execution."
Cen Xun: "Okay."
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Chen Yaoshan really wanted to shout "The enchanting concubine seduces the master!"
But on second thought, Chen Yaoshan felt sad again. Was he now consciously putting himself in the role of an old minister?
During this period, Chen Yaoshan gradually recalled some of the past. When the monsters were still wreaking havoc in the real world, he regarded them as his mortal enemies. Unexpectedly, with the passage of time, he had become a subordinate of Huang Liang.
It's so ridiculous that it sounds like a joke if you tell it to others.
But that's the reality.
Chen Yaoshan has gone from being unable to accept it at the beginning to accepting it well now.
After all, Huang Liang can even fall in love with an atheist. Compared to this incident, the impact of other things is not that great.
Shen Yaoshan looked at the principal and his bird numbly, waiting for the next instructions.
In fact, he was also a little curious about what Feng Jihan wanted to do by "borrowing" people from the principal.
He just faintly heard the word "divine fetus" and it seemed a little familiar to him.
But he didn't have time to think about it and quickly followed Feng Jihan out.
As soon as they left, the office quickly became quiet.
Wusa stepped forward at the right moment and asked, "Principal, would you like some dessert?"
Cen Xun refused: "No need."
"Any plans for three days later?" Cen Xun suddenly asked.
Usa flipped through his schedule. "There's a meeting and a warm-up match. You might need to show up."
Cen Xun said, "Block all your time on that day."
"Okay," Ursa reconfirmed, "October 15th, right?"
Cen Xun hummed, lowered his eyes and fiddled with the panda cup on the table.
His eyes revealed a look of contempt as he stared straight at Cen Xun.
"How long can this peaceful and tranquil life last? To kill Fate, all threads of destiny must be destroyed, which means all humans must die. By then, will he still treat you the same way as before?"
Cen Xun opened his eyes and said, "Before that, I will devour [Time] first. Once I have completely killed [Fate], I will use the reverse flow of time to revive humanity. That will be all."
His eyes rolled around.
"Yes, this method can really achieve the best of both worlds."
Cen Xun was silent for a moment: "If he doesn't want humanity to be destroyed, then forget it."
Seeing the little bird working so hard for the future of mankind, Cen Xun didn't want him to do anything in vain.
His eyes blinked.
"What did I say? The bottom line will be compromised again and again. You were willing to not eat people for him before, so you should be willing to not attack the real world for him in the future. Let's see, am I right?"
Cen Xun was annoyed by the questioning and asked him back, "Didn't you hate Zhou Mian before? Then why didn't you take action against Zhou Mian?"
His eyes flickered and he couldn't answer.
"I just think he's a bit amusing, that's all. He's already in such a miserable state, there's no sense of accomplishment in bullying him."
"It's better if you just think he's a bit amusing." Cen Xun flipped through the file and said without looking up, "Don't fall in love with him."
"Huh? Love? How could I possibly fall in love with a human being?"
His eyes bounced around Cen Xun's documents, trying to attract Cen Xun's attention.
"I'm not like you, I wouldn't be so obsessed with a human being."
Cen Xun didn't bother to give him a look and said, "Then I'll call Xiao Zhou and tell him not to come. Tong Ming doesn't want him to come."
His eyes immediately became anxious.
"No! No way!! When did I ever say I didn't want him to come!"
"Send him a message and ask him to pick me up now."
"Fourth brother, hurry up, Fourth brother, urgent!"
"I am your beloved sixth brother, Fourth Brother!"
Cen Xun was almost annoyed to death by Tong Ming, the sixth brother. He only had one eye left, but he was restless and kept jumping around, which made Cen Xun annoyed.
Cen Xun stuffed his eyeballs directly into the box and waited for Zhou Mian to take the annoying Lao Liu away after get off work.
The world has really changed. Even a voyeur like Tong Ming is wanted by someone. Zhou Mian is truly a living Bodhisattva.
Three days passed in a flash, and there was no new turmoil in Nightmare University. Players who were gradually getting used to starships were preparing for the warm-up matches in a big way. The warm-up matches were mainly internal duels between the Empire teams to simulate wartime situations and eliminate a group of low-end players at the same time.
After the warm-up match is over, the preliminary match between the Empire team and the Federation team will be held in four days.
Almost all the high-level monsters in the nightmare world participated in this grand battle.
The Federation team is mainly composed of pro-war monsters such as the Seven Devils who do not obey Cen Xun's control, while the Empire team is mainly composed of players.
According to the contract, after the Empire team defeats the Federation team, Cen Xun will become the well-deserved king of the Nightmare World.
But at this moment, Cen Xun had no intention of going to the warm-up match to inspire people, but went to the real world to keep an appointment many years ago.
