“Congratulations to Zheng Cheng! He is the champion of this year’s single-challenge college entrance examination!”
“Wow! A champion!”
“Zheng Cheng is the champion! Did I hear that right!”
“Hahaha! Brother Cheng is the bomb!”
“Our school is the champion! Our ancestors must be celebrating in their graves!”
“It’s been over three hundred years, this is the first time our school got a championship!”
“Hehehe, this championship won by Zheng Cheng, might be the least competitive one in centuries, the second to fourth place all conceded!”
“No matter what! Zheng Cheng is the champion! The absolute dark horse! Hahaha, I’ve struck it rich!”
“Champion! Champion!”
There was a cheer in the audience, some were joyous and others were sorrowful.
Changes were happening quickly on the stage.
Several figures walked over from the rear and spoke a lot of flattering words of congratulations to Zheng Cheng.
The main event, at last, came.
Shen Nanfeng stepped forward with a smile: “Zheng Cheng, congratulations, you have won the single challenge championship.”
“Adding the Radiation Island evaluation three days ago, you are indeed the champion of this year’s college entrance examination in Chang’an City!”
“The Director flatters me.”
Zheng Cheng blinked, looking towards Zhao Yunxiao standing beside Shen Nanfeng.
Zhao Yunxiao just nodded at him, staring ahead.
“A hero at such a young age!” Shen Nanfeng waved his hand with a laugh, and the beautiful woman in the cheongsam followed him immediately.
“Your actions live up to the title of champion.”
“This award is indeed your due!”
Zheng Cheng, puzzled, looked at the wooden box in the maid’s hand, knowing that it was the award for this year’s single challenge championship.
A strange object from another world that Qin Zheng, Zhu Chengyu, and Terence fought for!
Although it is just a broken strange object from another world!
“Thank you, Director.”
Zheng Cheng took the wooden box handed over by Shen Nanfeng with both hands, his heart fluttered.
In this wooden box… seems to be a living creature?
The strange object from another world is actually alive!?
Shen Nanfeng shook hands with Zheng Cheng while dealing with the photographers with a smile.
Zheng Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a low voice: “Director, Sister Yunxiao, what kind of strange thing is this from another world?”
Shen Nanfeng continued to smile but didn’t answer, busy dealing with the photographers and interviews.
Zhao Yunxiao said quietly, “Come to the Nightwatch base tomorrow. Now that you’ve won it, you should know some of its secrets.”
“Okay.”
The press conference ended quickly in the afternoon, and Zheng Cheng received countless congratulations.
Classmates, friends, teachers, elders …
Especially his school, they hung his portrait in every classroom to inspire later generations.
Gao Yang even told him that the school was going to carve a statue of him and put it at the school gate. He was so scared that he quickly declined.
A statue?
Busts are only for dead people, oh my god …
In addition, Zheng Cheng also asked Chen Xiao to place a bet for him at the national lottery station, predicting that he would be the final champion.
With the ultra-high odds of 22.4, he wagered two hundred thousand Chinese currency and one hundred thousand gold coins, and he made a fortune!
More than four million Chinese currency and two million gold coins!
With so much money, especially the gold coins, Zheng Cheng directly stepped into the middle class.
Late at night, Zheng Cheng came to the largest hotel in Chang’an City, the Chang’an Hotel, with Chen Xiao, Chicken, Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and many others.
At half past nine, Zhu Chengyu, Zhao Wujun, and He Chengguang said goodbye.
They were students of the Northwest Military School attached high school after all. They have a soldier’s duty and are now entering the Northwest Military School for further study and practice. They cannot stay out all night.
As for Chen Xiao, he has just been admitted and has not yet registered, so he is not yet a soldier.
In the dark night, Zhu Chengyu said goodbye to Zheng Cheng and others: “Alright, you guys have fun, we are leaving.”
“Can’t you play for a while longer?”
Zhu Chengyu shook his head with a smile and said, “The army has regulations and there’s Chen Xiao. It will be time to report in three days. Hopefully, you can restrain yourself.”
Chen Xiao nodded: “I understand.”
Zheng Cheng was surprised: “Three days… Why so soon?”
“Isn’t there a month of summer vacation left?”
Zhu Chengyu shrugged: “Chasm disturbance, according to information, a new demon king has recently surfaced among the Demonic Races. He is preparing to establish his own territory and will surely launch an attack wave on the underground Great Wall.”
“Although we are still students, we also have to contribute our own strength to defend the territories of the Human Race!”
Chen Xiao also said: “That’s right, this has been my wish all along!”
He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth: “I will defend the underground Great Wall, and I will even obliterate the Demonic Race!”
“Hahaha …”
Zhu Chengyu laughed loudly: “The commander would be very happy to hear what you said!”
“Go!”
The three waved and immediately turned around and left without delay.
Watching their receding backs, Zheng Cheng patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder and said: “Brother, take care!”
Chen Xiao laughed loudly: “Brother Cheng, when did you become so sentimental?”
“Don’t worry, I’m a Terran Knight, with lots of health and high defense. I won’t die!”
Chicken also chuckled: “As for Brother Xiao’s defense, that’s unquestionable, he is impenetrable!”
“By the way, Brother Cheng, Bai Jingqi mentioned taking us to a nightclub at the Sunshine Congress…”
“Sunshine Congress?” Zheng Cheng wondered: “What kind of place is that?”
“Hehehehe …”
Chicken chuckled, “I heard it’s the most notorious place for spending money in Chang’an city. The girls there are incredibly beautiful, and I heard there are also professionists and Different Race reincarnators …”
“A Professionist?”
Chen Xiao frowned, “Would a Professionist go to such a place?”
“Um…” Little Chicken said hesitantly, “I just heard about it. They’re usually low-tier Professionists that do lifestyle jobs. For instance, dancers, attendants, and the like. I heard they have professional skills too…”
“That doesn’t sound good…”
From afar, Bai Jingqi drove over in a big jeep, shouting at them, “Zheng Cheng! Get in the car! We have tricked Jiaojiao into coming back, tonight is our wild night!”
“Hahaha…”
They partied all night, and he didn’t get out of bed until late morning.
“Oh no! I promised to discuss the matter of the Night Watch today…”
He hurriedly got up, and after washing up, rushed to the Night Watch base.
Luckily, there were rows of cabs parked at the door of the Sunshine Congress. Seeing Zheng Cheng come out, a waiter quickly helped him hail a car.
“Sir, be careful. We hope to see you again soon…!”
In the car, he pulled out the wooden box containing the World Mysterious Object.
“What exactly is this World Mysterious Object? Is it alive?”
He took a deep breath and opened the wooden box.
A piece of soft, somewhat transparent ‘thing’ came into his view.
Light white in color, the size of a palm, almost purely transparent, it resembled jelly.
“Is this…surely this thing isn’t a World Mysterious Object, rather some jelly? Or maybe a Slime?”
The World Mysterious Object in front of him strikingly resembled a conceptual creature known as the Slime in this world!
His eyes flicked, and the attributes of this ‘Slime’ appeared before him.
[Name: World Mysterious Object]
[Race: Conceptual Creature]
[Attribute: World Law Mix]
[Status: Severely Injured]
[Description: This is a creature born from the collision and fusion of rules when two or more worlds merge. It contains one world within it, capable of growing freely and also able to grow by swallowing space-time rifts.]
“World Mysterious Object?”
“Conceptual Creature?”
“World Law Mix?”
“What are these things?” Zheng Cheng was baffled. “And what’s with this space-time rift?”
Ridden with confusion, he tried to find something about it on the Professionist’s internal network but found nothing.
“There’s no information online. It seems this thing is only known to high-ranking Professionists or Professionist families and national agencies…”
“Still, it’s okay. Director Shen Nanfeng and Captain Yunxiao should give me an explanation.”
The cab soon stopped in front of the Night Watch base. After passing through security, Zheng Cheng arrived at Zhao Yunxiao’s office.
“Knock knock knock…”
“Come in!”
Zhao Yunxiao was making notes on some documents. Suddenly, she looked up and sniffed, “Where have you been? Why do you smell so fragrant?”
Zheng Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, but quickly replied, “I was at Li Zhen’s house. Jiaojiao held me back for a long time!”
“The Li Family, huh…”
Zhao Yunxiao rapped on the table, “Seems like the Li family is smart. They’ve already decided to place their bets on you?”
“Did they even bring Jiaojiao into this?”
Zheng Cheng quickly changed the topic, “Sister Yunxiao, what exactly is a World Mysterious Object? Why does everyone want it?”
He dared not let her ask more. Too many words could lead to slips of the tongue!
Zhao Yunxiao said, “Wait a moment. I will take you to the Director. You can wait here.”
“Okay.”
Zheng Cheng sat on the sofa, his eyes once again resting on Zhao Yunxiao.
Today, Zhao Yunxiao was not on an outside mission, dressed in a white floor-length dress with clouds, exuding a nobility that only ancient princesses had.
Her hairstyle was a simple ponytail, her gaze serious and steady.
As they say, a man at work is the most attractive.
But in Zheng Cheng’s opinion, a working woman is even more charming!
Without a doubt, Zhao Yunxiao was one of the best.
She was not even comparable to those dancers, maids, or transformed different races he had met last night!
A few minutes later, Zhao Yunxiao glared at him fiercely, grinding her teeth, “If you keep staring, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
“Hehehe…” Zheng Cheng chuckled, “Sister Yunxiao, I’m just appreciating, don’t get the wrong idea.”
“Hm…”
Zhao Yunxiao gave a cold smirk and stood up, “Let’s go. The Director has been waiting for you!”
Under Zhao Yunxiao’s lead, Zheng Cheng soon met with Director Shen Nanfeng.
The Director was sitting cross-legged in front of a three-meter tall tree that looked like several giant serpents coiled together, as if thinking about something.
“Director,” Zhao Yunxiao said, “I’ve brought the kid.”
“Sit.”
Shen Nanfeng nodded, instructing them both to sit down.
He then personally prepared tea for them both. With his smooth, practiced movements, he soon left only two cups of light black tea in front of them.
“Drink. This Black Mist tea is one I brought back from the underground Great Wall of the Chasm. It has a unique taste.”
“Underground Great Wall?” Zheng Cheng asked doubtfully, “What’s the Underground Great Wall?”
“That’s the name of the Human Race’s fortresses in the Chasm!”
Zhao Yunxiao glared at him, “How on earth did you study for your culture course? Don’t you even know this?”
Zheng Cheng shrugged, “Forgot.”
“Alright.” Shen Nanfeng laughed, “That’s a minor thing. Zheng Cheng, you want to know what the World Mysterious Object is, right? I’ll tell you.”
“The World Mysterious Object is, in fact, a miniature world.”
“Um…”
