Chapter 305
The next event that requires Su Bei's participation should be the Asian and African travel copy. Wu Mingzhi set the time in August, which means that he still has a pleasant rest time.
To be honest, Su Bei was not a homebody in the past. Although he liked to read comics and play games, these did not prevent him from loving sports and traveling.
Now, Su Bei just wants to stay at home and be a homebody every day. I have no desire to go out and explore. I am not tired physically, but I am tired mentally.
The days without anyone to disturb him were very happy, and Su Bei felt that this was the most relaxing time of the semester. But for him, this was not the case for others.
First of all, the follow-up to the World Championship was handled by the Sesbia government, which was publicly punished. Such a thing happened on their territory because they did not make good arrangements. They handled the follow-up compensation and arrangements for all those who died in this incident, and everyone who survived received a considerable amount of mental damages.
Among them, Jiang Tianming and others who saved everyone received rare supernatural props as rewards. They sent the props directly to the group, and Su Bei was lucky enough to see them.
There are disposable power-enhancing items, recovery items, defense items... There are many types and they are all of good quality. It can be seen that the Sesbia government has no intention of being perfunctory.
However, the one who received the most rewards was Qi Huang, as she saved more people. In fact, if she had not turned the tide and defeated the Calabash Nightmare Beast, when the psychics came out from another space, they might have faced a sea of blood and corpses.
There were surveillance cameras installed in the hotel and on the field, so the battle footage of Qi Huang was completely preserved. In order to reduce the sadness of the heavy casualties and to motivate the frightened students, Sesbia directly integrated the surveillance footage into a video, added appropriate music, edited it into a very passionate look, and released it on its official website.
The governments of several countries also posted this video on their official websites, also to motivate students. And their own countries would certainly not miss such an opportunity. Even if Sesbia didn't say anything, they would definitely post a record of the outstanding deeds of their underage superpowers in protecting the people in a foreign country.
Two days after the video was posted, Su Bei happened to check the school group and found that Qi Huang had gained a large number of fans. He didn't know what kind of treatment Feng Manman received after returning to school after saving everyone in the battle, but it was probably something like this.
He had a hunch that Qi Huang's position as the Student Union Secretary-General was secure this time.
Finally, the result of the game, although the game has been completely ruined, no one cares who wins or loses the second game. In reality, whoever is still alive is the winner.
But Sesbia wanted to put an end to his first and last world championship. Even if this end was not perfect, it was better than nothing.
So in the end they posted the scores of each group on the official website in order from highest to lowest.
[Endless Ability Academy: 7800 points
Tangquite School of Supernatural Powers: 4320 points
Moscow Supernatural High School: 4275 points
……】
Undoubtedly, the "Infinite Power Academy", which ranked first in the division, surprised everyone. You have to know that their situation at the time was well known to everyone. All the regular players had accidents and could only be replaced by freshmen.
In this case, how did the "Infinite Power Academy" get the first place in the level? Are the freshmen of their academy so strong?
The Sesbia government was reliable and did not release the video of the game. But it was only reliable for a moment, and then they released a copy of the video to each college participating in the second game.
So Su Bei received Meng Huai's "cordial" greetings.
Su Bei: "..."
He and the Sesbia government are sworn enemies!
It is worth mentioning that during the days when he was forced to stay in school, Su Bei fulfilled the oath he had made in his heart, making Zhang Sheng unlucky for the whole day.
Zhang Sheng, who had fallen down again for no apparent reason, could no longer bear it and complained to Feng Manman and Mu Yunfan about it. The smart Feng Manman said, "Did you offend someone? It should be someone from our school. Think about who could make you so unlucky."
"Su Bei!" Zhang Sheng thought for a long time, then suddenly his eyes widened and he suddenly realized what had happened. He still remembered the bad things he had done, so he immediately ran over to ask Su Bei if he had done it.
Su Bei naturally couldn't admit it, but Zhang Sheng wasn't a fool either, so he apologized to him decisively. Seeing that this guy was so flexible, Su Bei didn't pursue the matter any further. Although he still didn't admit that it was his fault, he was honest in his actions and got rid of his bad reputation.
End of this little episode, let’s get back to business.
During this time, danger was constantly happening. Nightmare beasts began to appear frequently again, often wreaking havoc in the human world. And unlike the prelude to the last battle, this time their success rate was much higher.
If the nightmare beasts could cause major damage once out of ten times before, now they can at least cause major damage three or four times, and the success rate has increased three or four times.
It was as if there was a think tank behind them, letting the nightmare beasts know the weak points of each place, so that they could hit them with one strike. If the human side had not reacted quickly enough and had sufficient experience in dealing with the nightmare beasts' attacks, the losses would have been several times more serious.
There were new inquiries on the official website of the supernatural world every day, and almost every time they were related to the chaos caused by nightmare beasts. This was in stark contrast to the frequency of updating the panel only once a week before.
Under the crazy attacks of the nightmare beasts, the entire supernatural world seemed to be in a state of panic. Even the combat forces that had just graduated were assigned a lot of work. Su Bei could feel that Mu Yunfan had a deep resentment when he saw the circle of friends that he updated every day.
The superpower government also updated an announcement on its official website, calling on all guild members, individual superpowers, and superpower teams to actively cooperate with the government's mobilization, unite as one, and face the challenges brought by the Nightmare Beast together.
Then, Su Bei stayed at home, watching the frequent messages on the official website, and could deeply feel the danger coming. This danger was different from the prelude to the last battle. Last time, it felt like they were just messing around, just to make the superpowers run around. But this time, they were serious, doing things to increase the losses of mankind.
The storm is coming, and Su Bei smells something bad. Looking at the direction of the main plot of the comic, the world of Nightmare Beasts is changing secretly. The leader of the "Black Flash" organization may have begun to cooperate with the Nightmare Beasts. The newly graduated new combat force has suffered heavy losses. At the same time, there must be several more high-level Nightmare Beasts... Everything is leaning towards the Nightmare Beasts, and the unbalanced balance between the two sides is in jeopardy.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a mainstream youth manga, and that "manga consciousness" said that the author had already paid attention to the imbalance in the fighting power between the pros and cons, Su Bei would really have doubted that the Nightmare Beast would win in the end.
Knowing that the protagonists will win in the end, all the disadvantages shown to the protagonists at this time are seen by Su Bei as a prelude to suppressing before promoting.
He has already seen the "Yan" (suppression), so what kind of "Yan" would it be?
The frequent appearances of the Nightmare Beasts this time were obviously not just a matter of the comic world, but also part of the plot, because Jiang Tianming and others were also involved. When the three of them were out, they happened to encounter a Nightmare Beast action and were naturally dragged into it.
In this comic update, the author included the recent frequent activities of the Nightmares as the background, and also revealed related content many times in the characters' dialogues, intentionally or unintentionally.
There were people discussing on the barrage and in the forums, thinking that the Nightmare Beasts were appearing frequently again, and whether a new battle was about to happen. Although the battle had just happened not long ago, the situation this time was very similar to the last time, and they couldn't help but think so.
However, there are more rational readers who think that the old thief will never arrange two repeated events in the comics, and this time the Nightmare riot may have other reasons. Especially in the plot, it has been revealed that the Nightmare beasts have caused a lot of trouble for the supernatural government this time, which is much more powerful than the last time.
Su Bei saw that many readers were speculating whether Nightmare had received any assistance. Especially when the comic was last updated, the forum was still discussing the possibility of an undercover agent on the human side. When these two phenomena were combined, this speculation seemed particularly correct.
Su Bei also believed that their guess was correct, and the think tank behind the Nightmare Beast was the "Black Flash" organization. Only they could do so many things in a row, which was an ability that no individual had.
"Will there be any business with the 'Black Flash' organization when we go to Asian and African countries next?" Su Bei suddenly asked. He knew in his heart that "Comic Consciousness" would definitely not answer this question directly, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he asked this question just to lure the other party out.
"Comic Consciousness" soon emerged and predictably refused to answer the question: "Sorry, I can't spoil the plot."
"Then you should be able to tell me how far the comic has progressed," Su Beitu asked the question he really wanted to know, "How long will the author plan to continue drawing?"
That's right, Su Bei suspected that the comic was coming to an end. Based on his many years of experience in reading comics, when the overall environment is in a disadvantageous situation, it is time for the protagonists to turn the tide and save the world.
"...It won't take too long." After understanding what he meant, Manga Sense hesitated for a moment and then answered carefully, "It should be considered the late stage of the manga now."
As Su Bei thought, the manga "Superpower King" is almost coming to an end. The Asian-African country is definitely not the end, but after this incident, it should take less than three or four events for the manga to be completely over.
It's great, it's finally coming to an end. Su Bei let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relieved. Although the story hasn't completely ended, at least I can finally see the end.
But he immediately became alert again. The author's ill will towards him had not yet disappeared. If he wanted to kill him, he would have to use the last part of the story. And if he wanted a character to die in a reasonable way, the best way was to use the finale to kill him.
Thinking of this, Su Bei suddenly felt that something was wrong: "If the author hates trouble so much, why does he insist on me going offline? Anyway, it's already the end of the comic, it would be great to finish the finale smoothly."
"Who said comics only have two seasons?" The "comic-conscious" voice said helplessly, "'Superpowers' is very popular in the real world, the author should at least make three seasons. If your character doesn't die, he will have to draw you in the next season."
Subei: ""
"There's still one season left." His mentality suddenly collapsed, "Then I still have to work hard for a whole season. Why don't you just kill me?"
Seeing that he looked ready to make trouble at any time, "Comic Consciousness" quickly explained: "No, no, you misunderstood. As long as you can survive this season, the author will not try to get rid of you again. You only have a lot of plots in this season. In the next season, except for Jiang Tianming and the other three, other old characters will have to make way for new characters. But you will definitely be involved in the end, so the author wants to get rid of you once and for all. But if you were not solved in the last season, the little plot about you in the next season will not be worth the author's extra effort for you."
Seeing this, Su Bei felt relieved, and then asked curiously: "So have you thought of the theme for the next sentence? If it is still in the 'Infinite Power Academy', there is no way that our story will not be included, right?"
"He hasn't confirmed it yet. It could be a time-based story that starts right after graduation. Or it could be a story about a different world." As the author's subconscious, the "manga consciousness" is very aware of this. "By then, there shouldn't be any nightmare beasts."
After hearing this, Su Bei finally relaxed completely. In addition to being upset about having to worry about himself for a whole season, he was also upset that he couldn't find peace even after saving the world.
But if it was after graduation, or if Jiang Tianming and the others left for some reason, then it would not matter. Let them make a fuss, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
Su Bei is willing to take a wait-and-see attitude towards any accident that does not involve him. The reason why he chose this character was because it fits him better and is not so easy to go ooc.
Happy times always end quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day when Wu Mingbai invited them to go to the Asian and African country.
As a prince, Wu knew that he didn't need to find a way to go to Asia and Africa. The royal family of Asia and Africa specially chartered a plane to pick them up. When he took a taxi to the airport and saw the conspicuous plane through the glass, Su Bei couldn't help but twitch his lips.
There had long been rumors that the royal family of the Asian-African country had poor aesthetic taste, but he had only seen it for fun. But until he saw with his own eyes the plane that was fully painted with oil paint and had the words "Asia-African country welcomes you" written on it, he finally had a deep understanding of poor aesthetic taste.
When they arrived at the VIP room, Jiang Tianming, Lan Subing and Wu Mingbai were already there. There were also a few foreigners in black standing in the VIP room. They were probably the bodyguards specially sent by the Asian and African countries to protect Wu Mingbai's safety.
Lan Subing was chatting with two friends at the time. She looked up and suddenly saw Su Bei walking in with his hands in his pockets. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and black shorts, with his braid tied loosely on his chest. Maybe because he had just washed his hair in the morning, his blond hair looked a little fluffier than usual, and he looked very fresh.
"Su Bei, long time no see!" Lan Subing showed a surprised expression when she saw Su Bei appear, and the other two also waved at him.
"Good morning." Su Bei nodded to them, sat casually on the leather sofa, and looked naturally towards the transparent floor-to-ceiling window in the VIP room for travelers to appreciate.
When his eyes fell on a certain place, a smile flashed in his eyes again. He pointed at the eye-catching plane, looked at Wu Mingbai teasingly, and asked knowingly: "Your plane?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing burst out laughing, obviously having already "admired" this fancy aircraft.
Wu Mingbai, who had been teased before and was mentally prepared, sneered: "What are you laughing at? You will also be on this plane later. If you laugh again, I will let them paint your name on it."
The black-clad bodyguard standing beside him immediately bowed respectfully and said in broken Chinese: "Understood, Prince. As long as you give us your orders, we are always at your service!"
Su Bei: "..."
If his name appeared on this lousy plane and someone took a picture of it, he would stay indoors for the entire summer until everyone had forgotten about it.
Seeing that Su Bei stopped talking, Wu Mingbai waved to the bodyguard contentedly: "Not necessary for now."
However, his pride soon turned into despair. Every group that came in asked him the same question. From Jiang Tianming, Lan Subing, Su Bei, Ai Baozhu, Zhao Xiaoyu, Zhou Renjie, and Li Shu, everyone teased him about this matter.
Answering once or twice is fun, but answering five or six times makes me want to hit someone. After being asked again, Wu Mingbai closed his eyes in despair: "There is only one left, Wu Jin. He won't ask me this question again, will he?"
It doesn't matter if it's someone else, Wu Mingbai didn't believe that Wu Jin would ask such a boring question. He didn't ask it when Ling You came just now, but Ai Baozhu, who was with her, asked it.
"Then I bet he will ask." Zhou Renjie said immediately. Although he had no confidence that Wu Jin would ask this question, it did not prevent him from wanting to make things difficult for Wu Mingbai.
Ai Baozhu immediately joined in the fun: "I bet I'll ask too!"
Soon it became a gambling game involving everyone, with everyone placing bets on whether Wu Jin would ask questions about the plane. A bet is a bet, and whoever guessed wrong would have to explore the secrets of the palace after arriving in the Asian-African country. They had to find a secret to complete the bet. If they hadn't completed it by the time they left, they would be punished more severely after school started.
As for what the more severe punishment would be, among the suggestions that were enthusiastically proposed, the mildest one was "running around the playground three times, calling yourself a fool while running." This is enough to show how terrible the punishment is.
After the bet was negotiated, many people changed their tune and gave their answers seriously. Only a few people chose "yes", only two in total.
Su Bei didn't want to find any secrets, and he didn't want to be punished for not fulfilling the bet, so after thinking carefully for a moment, he chose "yes". He was one of the two.
Although Wu Jin is definitely not the type of person who would tease Wu Mingbai when he has nothing to do, the plot of everyone gathering together to go to the Asian and African countries will be drawn in the comics, and their bet is likely to be included. Especially since the bet is so intriguing, it seems more like something within the plot.
In this case, if Wu Jin didn't ask anything, then what was the point? He must have asked, which would have surprised the readers.
As for the other person who chose "yes", it was Feng Lan. It was obvious that this guy used the [Prophecy]. Su Bei looked at him with a little condemnation, and met Feng Lan's golden eyes that were looking at him in the same direction.
There was no emotion in Feng Lan's eyes. She just looked at him subconsciously because the two people had the same answer. She probably thought that he, like her, used his prophetic ability to know the truth.
But no! Su Bei roared in his heart. He clearly relied on his own intelligence to analyze the truth!
But if you think about it carefully, how can the God's perspective not be considered a kind of his supernatural power? After all, it is also analyzed by supernatural powers, it's just that he used his brain a little more.
After realizing this, the condemnation in Su Bei's eyes disappeared. He raised his eyebrows at Chong Fenglan, feeling quite proud of himself for going along with the crowd.
"No...Su Beifenglan, you two both chose the answer, what's wrong with that?" Ai Baozhu was shocked. They were the last two to give their answers, so everyone else had already chosen.
Given Su Bei and Feng Lan's abilities, no one would doubt that their common answer was wrong. That meant that everyone else had guessed wrong. Wu Jin, the taciturn guy, actually asked relevant questions.
Wu Mingbai was also shocked. Feng Lan and Su Bei were definitely not the ones who wanted to take the initiative to make a bet, so the answers they gave must be what they thought was correct: "I don't think I don't know Wu Jin that well even though he would ask me about the plane."
Jiang Tianming figured it out quickly: "It was because of an accident. I asked by accident."
The two did not answer. Su Bei shrugged and said, "You will know it later."
Wu Jin, the last one to arrive, walked in slowly with a slightly apologetic look on his face. Although his features could not be seen clearly due to his purple hair, he could feel the burning gazes of everyone as soon as he walked in.
"…What happened?" Wu Jinnan felt uneasy. Could it be that his hair was not done well today? It was not right to show his face. These people did not have surprised expressions at all.
Everyone shook their heads in unison, but their eyes were still fixed on him.
Wu Jin didn't understand what was going on, so he stopped imagining: "Sorry, I was just stopped by an old lady and asked about the plane. You brought the plane, right?"
