Don't Admit Defeat
Qin Yang's annoying tone made He Jin a little excited. "What's your own score?"
Qin Yang: "I thought I had to at least surpass you before you would treat me to a meal."
He Jin laughed. "You're aiming high!"
Qin Yang glanced at him. "You don't think I can do it?"
He Jin: "No, I only taught you grammar. I don't know your overall level, but I don't think you should set a goal for exams. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I got 680 last year because I was lucky. I usually get around 650 when I do mock exams."
Qin Yang was a little unconvinced. "What if I score higher than you?"
If Qin Yang said 650, He Jin thought it was more likely. But if anyone could get 680, He Jin wouldn't have had to give a lecture to his juniors last month.
"Hehe, if you really score higher than me, I'll call you Brother." After so many years in the exam, He Jin was only confident in his grades. Moreover, Qin Yang had said his grammar was bad a month before the exam. How much could he improve after a few tutoring sessions?
Qin Yang: "Forget it. It feels good to hear you call me Brother, but it's boring."
He Jin: "Then what do you want? Treat you to a meal? "
Qin Yang looked down and sighed. "To be honest, I don't have any confidence in getting 680 … But it's hard to say. What if I really get lucky …"
He Jin laughed secretly. Exams weren't like buying a lottery ticket. What kind of luck was this? He knew that Qin Yang "didn't feel good" but still dared to argue with him. He Jin found Qin Yang quite cute like this.
"You don't have to score higher than me. 680. If you get this score, just tell me your request." He Jin teased him.
Qin Yang's eyes flashed with a smile. "You'll agree to any request?"
"As long as it's not a crime or asking me to run around the school naked or something immoral, I'll do it." There were really students in the university who played games and made these kinds of prank bets. But with He Jin's understanding of Qin Yang's character, he didn't think he would make such an outrageous request. Moreover, He Jin didn't believe he would lose.
Qin Yang pretended to be unwilling. "If I'm really lucky and get 680, don't go back on your word!"
He Jin retorted, "I'm just afraid that you won't dare to see me if you don't pass the exam."
Qin Yang smirked and pointed at He Jin. His expression was annoying and roguish. "He Jin, just you wait."
He Jin was dazed for a moment when he saw the smug look on the other party's face. He almost thought that the other party really had the ability to compete with him. However, it was only for a moment. He Jin quickly dismissed it as the young man's bluff. He had seen this kind of bet many times since he was young, and he had never lost once!
After the two of them finished running, they crossed the nearby lawn to return to the dormitory. When they were about to walk on the main road, they suddenly heard an exclamation in the distance. He Jin and Qin Yang turned their heads at the same time and saw a few girls standing under the street lamps who had just returned from outside the school. They might have gone karaoke on the weekend and only returned to the dormitory in the wee hours of the morning.
When they saw two shadows suddenly appear in the dark grassland, they were all startled. The one who exclaimed was one of the girls.
Qin Yang waved his hand in that direction and said, "Don't be afraid, it's a human, not a ghost."
He Jin was amused by Qin Yang's reaction. He lowered his head slightly, clenched his fist, and covered his mouth with a smile.
The light from the street lamps spread out and slightly illuminated Qin Yang and He Jin's appearances. When the girls saw that the person talking to them was actually the famous and aloof school hunk, they didn't know whether they should be surprised or happy.
Qin Yang smiled and added, "You're returning to the dormitory so late. Be careful that you don't run into a ghost." He lightly hugged He Jin's back and said to him, "Let's go."
The girls looked at their backs and Qin Yang's small action just now. They were still in a state of shock …
After a long time, someone said weakly, "That person, is he Senior He from the third year?"
"Who is Senior He?"
"The one who was carried to the school hospital by Qin Yang in a princess carry half a month ago …"
"… It's so late. What are they doing?"
"Maybe they're taking a walk …"
"Taking a walk on the lawn?"
"And it's almost one o 'clock now …"
"…" (= _ =)
"They can't really be …"
"That …"
… Ahhhhh …
Under the crescent moon, the girls' minds were filled with the sound of their worldview shattering … and the roars of a few corrupted souls.
Actually, He Jin didn't feel that Qin Yang's action was overstepping his boundaries. He was just lightly patted on the shoulder, indicating that he wanted to leave.
After returning to the dormitory, He Jin looked at the time and said with a smile, "I never thought that one day I would return to the dormitory at this hour …" Moreover, he wasn't sleepy now. It was incredible!
Qin Yang: "You didn't pass the night test?"
He Jin shook his head and went upstairs with Qin Yang. "I used to go to bed at ten every day."
Qin Yang: "Hehe, so you're so late today because of me?"
He Jin: "Hahaha, of course not!"
Qin Yang: "…"
It was because of him. If He Jin didn't want to try to change, he wouldn't go even if his best friend asked him to go out in the middle of the night.
When they reached the third floor, the two said goodnight to each other. He Jin washed his face and lay down on the bed. Not long after, he felt sleepy and slept comfortably.
The next night, as soon as He Jin went online, Shang Huo sent him a message. "Jin, use the couple teleportation to come to me."
After He Jin asked for the method, he imagined Shang Huo's appearance and said, "Follow me everywhere."
The fog floated up and dissipated. He Jin was already standing in front of Shang Huo. In the past, Shang Huo would suddenly appear every time. This time, it was finally his turn. However, He Jin didn't feel excited at all. He was still nervous.
"Where is this?" He Jin looked at the empty room. Apart from the white walls and the roof, there was nothing else in the room.
Shang Huo: "Arena."
He Jin was stunned and didn't understand. "You want to PK with me?"
Shang Huo: "Do you remember that I want you to join my team?"
He Jin: "Yes …"
Shang Huo: "Yesterday, we went to the dungeon together. Shishui, Xian Yun and the others all saw that you have potential. I also think that you can do it, so I want to train you in these two months."
He Jin thought about the praises that Shishui and the others gave him yesterday and gained some confidence. Previously, he didn't want to participate not only because he wasn't confident, but also because he didn't have a helmet. Now that he was satisfied with these two things, he had no other reason to reject Shang Huo. However, there was one more thing. "Do I need real information to register for the competition?"
Shang Huo: "As long as it's your game ID, the officials will keep it a secret. Every helmet is bound to the player's ID."
He Jin didn't have any more questions. "Okay, I will try my best."
Shang Huo turned A Jin into a ferret and explained, "One of the matches will be a pet PK, and the other will be a duo match between the tamer and the pet. No matter which match it is, you have to appear in your original form."
A Jin: "…"
"Your race has determined that your PvP style is primarily close-range combat based on physical skills. I won't be using magic attacks later. Once you enter PvP mode, you can do everything you can to get close to me and damage me. When you can reduce my HP to less than half, that's all you need to do."
He Jin was filled with confidence from killing the insect monsters in the dungeon yesterday. He didn't have the patience to listen to Shang Huo's explanation. He grinded his claws. "Come on, come on!" Fighting against the number one God in the entire server was every God and Demon player's hope!
Shang Huo: "Hehe."
The little ferret thought that the Demon Sovereign in front of him was at most similar to Shang Huo's brother in the dungeon. It wasn't that he hadn't fought the Bewitching Centipede boss before. It was just that its HP was higher, so it wasn't much.
However, the consequence of not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth was … a tragic death.
After Shang Huo activated PK mode, He Jin pounced forward eagerly — I scratch!
… Huh, where is he?
Just as He Jin was surprised that Shang Huo suddenly disappeared, he felt pain on his back three times.
The system voice said, "You have died."
— — Shang Huo killing him was like how he killed Ye Zhu, he only needed three hits.
He Jin's vision darkened. He lost contact with the helmet …
Two seconds later, his eyes lit up. Shang Huo appeared in front of him again. "Again."
He Jin didn't believe it. He aimed at Shang Huo and pounced forward again — I scratch again!
… Huh! He disappeared again!!
Another three blows landed on his back, and He Jin felt his body go limp as he fell from the sky.
The system voice said, "You have died."
Ah Jin: "…"
He Jin's consciousness traveled back and forth between the game and the real world countless times. He Jin's confidence was destroyed by Shang Huo again and again.
After dying countless times, the ferret was revived again. He lay on the ground, his claws trembling. He didn't dare to pounce anymore … Fortunately, the pain in the game world was only a little. Otherwise, his spine would have been smashed by Shang Huo long ago!
Before he died the last time, He Jin could only vaguely see Shang Huo's figure moving — it was too fast! How strong was his consciousness to be able to predict his opponent's movements before he attacked?
Shang Huo looked at him with a smile. "Why aren't you coming?"
Ah Jin lay on the ground, trying to use his appearance to make his opponent look cute. "Can I rest for a while …"
"The enemy won't give you time to rest." As Shang Huo said this, he suddenly flew closer and stretched out his claws toward the ferret. This time, He Jin didn't dare to pounce forward and die. Instead, he instinctively turned around and ran — the ferret's speed was faster than a human's. He Jin had already experienced this from his actual combat experience. However, no matter how fast he ran, he still lost to his own reflexes — Shang Huo grabbed the back of his neck and dragged him back.
His life was in someone's grasp. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape. He Jin closed his eyes in despair. However, even after a few seconds, he still hadn't lost contact with his helmet!
Shang Huo carried him with one hand and watched as the little ferret opened its black eyes. He asked in amusement, "Are you afraid?"
Ah Jin: "…"
Shang Huo asked gently, "Do you still want to fight?"
Ah Jin: "I admit defeat …"
This was too … embarrassing …!
Shang Huo narrowed his eyes and wore a gentle smile on his face. "You have to become stronger. Don't admit defeat." He exerted a little force and broke the ferret's neck.
Ah Jin: "…" qaq
