I’m a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?! - Chapter 257:
Chapter 257: Chapter 193 – She’s my fiancee, you want to get rid of her!
The noob asked first: “Who are you? I clearly remember locking my door before I left.”
The boy with the flowery shorts responded with a faint smile: “A mere lock, can it stop a professional like us? You must be a country bumpkin.”
“What the hell…!”
Thinking to give this guy a piece of his mind, the noob was held by Zheng Cheng, “Locks stop thiefs, not gentlemen. No need to be alarmed.”
“Ha ha ha~! A nice saying of stopping thieves but not gentlemen, your tone sounds like mine, just a shame.”
“What’s the shame?”
“It’s a pity that your lineage isn’t from the Zheng family, otherwise, I would really want to take you to Nine Snake Island to confirm.”
“Nine Snake Island?”
“Nine Snake Island?”
The noob and Yao Zhixue exclaimed, both sizing up the newcomer.
Zheng Cheng, who already knew the visitor’s identity, said: “Zheng Yi, the young master of Zheng’s family from Nine Snake Island, what purpose do you have coming to me?”
Zheng Yi stood, his gaze fixated on Yao Zhixue: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, indeed a prominent figure among the newcomers, she is exquisitely beautiful.”
“She is in my top three list solely on beauty and temperament.”
Yao Zhixue frowned, and her evaluation of him immediately dropped by three points.
“I’ll go now, feel free to reach out to me if you need something.”
Without another word, he turned and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.
“Wait, wait~,” Zheng Yi quickly said, “Aside from seeing my namesake, I also have a favor to ask you.”
“Me?”
Yao Zhixue stopped, looking puzzled.
Zheng Cheng was also doubtful: “You came for Yao Zhixue? What do you want from her?”
Zheng Yi rolled his eyes: “Otherwise? I’m going to come for you, pretty boy?”
“The only two things that could make me bend over backward are beauty and alcohol.”
Zheng Cheng bluntly said, “Speak, what do you need from Zhixue?”
“Can you make decisions for her?”
Yao Zhixue calmly said, “I can.”
“Ah, the prince is interested but the goddess isn’t,” Zheng Yi shook his head and sighed, then felt a chilly aura circling his neck, he quickly said, “I am looking for Yao Zhixue to ask her to kill someone!”
“For this, I am willing to form an alliance with you during the competition of the Ten Hidden Dragons!”
Yao Zhixue asked in surprise: “Kill? Who to kill?”
Zheng Cheng had a hunch: “Zhang Meiyu?”
Zheng Yi gave a thumbs-up: “Smart! As long as you kill Zhang Meiyu in the secret realm a month from now, I pledge to form an alliance with you, and even share the secret of the competition of the Ten Hidden Dragons!”
The noob said: “What’s the secret? It’s just the newly discovered Battlefield Wilderness of the Different Races, right?”
“You know?”
Now, Zheng Yi was the one surprised.
The noob boasted: “Humph~ Brother Cheng here is of a high status, this is hardly a secret!”
“Impressive! Impressive.” Zheng Yi continued, “Do you know what exactly is going on in the wilderness?”
The noob was about to speak but Zheng Cheng interrupted him, “Why do you want to kill Zhang Meiyu?”
Zheng Yi bluntly said, “She’s the fiancée my families’ elder arranged for me. Unfortunately, I don’t like her, so I have to get rid of her!”
Fiancée?
You want to get rid of her because you don’t like her?
What the hell is that logic?
Is this how you noble families play?
Zheng Cheng puzzled: “Zhang Meiyu is also a beauty, you love beauty and wine, so why …”
Zheng Yi twitched his mouth: “Even if I love beauties, I wouldn’t want to be wearing a green hat!”
“The crazy woman has more than a dozen paramours that I know of, what’s my status in the Zheng family? Can I touch such a woman?”
“Being a dragon descendant, Zhang Meiyu indulges in her desires, and I can’t control her.”
“Her existence is a chip for the family to counter Storm Island, I can’t openly move against her, so…”
“So, you came to us.” Zheng Cheng took over, “A perfect ploy, now if Zhang Meiyu dies in the secret realm, it’s commonly known that she has a conflict with Zhixue, no one will suspect you.”
“Bingo!”
Zheng Yi snapped his fingers, “Talking with intelligent people is easy, how does this deal sound, fair right?”
“Although Zhang Meiyu’s Black Dragon Body is powerful, she has weaknesses too. I can tell you all about them.”
“Also, the specific circumstances of our alliance and the Battlefield Wilderness of Different Races, I can even provide you with some supplies…”
“I…refuse!”
“OK… Huh? You refuse?” Zheng Yi frowned, “Why do you refuse?”
“Zhang Meiyu has a radical personality and a strong drive for revenge. Zhixue has already offended her, you’ve caused her such public humiliation, thus, you two are already archenemies.”
“Even if you don’t act, she will definitely do something in the secret realm.”
“You just have to be ruthless enough to kill her in the secret realm, no one will overthink it…”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “If Zhang Meiyu dares to trouble Zhixue, we will surely kill her.”
“However… I can’t agree to your proposition.”
Zheng Yi’s eyes flashed; he stood up: “I understand, then I will take my leave.”
After going two steps, he added: “Oh right, I was never here, and you never saw me. I have been chatting with my female companion all night~ ”
“Hmm.”
“I bid farewell!”
After Zheng Yi left, Caiji murmured, “So that’s the young master of the Nine Snake Island, Zheng Yi. So weird.”
“Where’s the weird part?”
“Hmm… can’t put my finger on it exactly, but he seems a bit naive, thinking the matter of finding a killer is so simple?”
“Hehehe…” Zheng Cheng smiled faintly, “He’s not simple at all.”
“Brother Cheng, what do you mean?”
“Look.”
Zheng Cheng gestured at the couch where Caiji and Yao Zhixue were looking. They saw a U-disk resting where Zheng Yi had previously sat.
Caiji was surprised, “That is…”
The bargaining chip he just mentioned.” Zheng Cheng picked up the U-disk and said, “The weakness of Zhang Meiyu’s Black Dragon body, and the specific details of the Alien Battlefield Wilderness?”
“Brother Cheng, didn’t you refuse him just now? How come…”
Yao Zhixue suddenly interjected, ” Zheng Cheng did refuse him, but you must not forget that I have already offended Zhang Meiyu. She won’t be kind to us with her temperament.”
“In that case, why don’t we strike first?”
Zheng Cheng was surprised, “You figured it out.”
“Yes.”
“Are you sure?”
Yao Zhixue shook her head and said, “I’m not sure how strong Zhang Meiyu really is. I only caught her off guard today.”
“But it won’t be easy for her to hurt me!”
“Is that so…”
“By the way, what’s the Secret Realm test for your academy?”
“A Secret Realm called ‘Mist Marsh’, intended to eradicate the monsters hidden inside,” said Yao Zhixue.
“Mist Marsh, huh…
Zheng Cheng leaned back on the couch, tapping the armrest with one hand, thinking, “Looks like I need to visit the Night Watch base.”
“Going there? For what?”
“We need to report to the Night Watch in Beijing,” continued Zheng Cheng. “And there’s another reason, of course – to enhance your strength!”
Meanwhile, Zhang Meiyu, who had left, was halted by a shadowy figure.
In the darkness, Zhang Meiyu’s eyes flared, “Who are you? How dare you block my way?”
A slim figure came out from the shadows, “We have a common enemy, why not join forces?”
“Oh? And you want to team up with me?”
The man frowned and looked over Zhang Meiyu’s shoulder.
“You lesser men following me around, scram! Run!” snapped Zhang Meiyu.
The few people quickly ran off, and the shadowy figure emerged from the darkness.
“Dongfang Yang? So it’s you!”
“Correct.”
Dongfang Yang spoke solemnly, “Your target is Yao Zhixue. Mine is Zheng Cheng.”
“In the Secret Realm of the Dark Forest, we happened to be with Yao Zhixue. Won’t our chances of success be assured if we join forces?”
“Hehehe…”
Zhang Meiyu’s voice was low in the darkness, “I can, but I’m really angry right now!”
Dongfang Yang was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
“I heard that men in Binhai City live in fear of their wives, and they like being on ‘bottom’?” Zhang Meiyu’s figure loomed, staring fiercely at Dongfang Yang. “Good thing I, Zhang Meiyu, like being on top.”
The next few days went by without incident.
Zheng Cheng attended classes and participated in actual combat drills as usual, rapidly absorbing knowledge on the Alien Battlefield and the positioning of professional helpers.
Their primary coursework focused on understanding their respective professions and the Alien Battlefield.
The content taught mainly emphasized how to enhance their own professions.
For some reason, Zhang Meiyu had not caused any disturbance for them in these days.
Only Cui Xiabing kept looking for opportunities to get close to him, never ceasing her efforts to win him over.
Friday was the day Zheng Cheng’s elective course, Modern War Military Theory, started.
The lecturer for the class was Teacher Bai Bin, who had overseen his first competition against Shi He.
The classroom was large, but there were few students, no more than twenty, and males were the majority.
“Classmates, today is the first lesson of our elective course, ‘Modern War Military Theory’. The first topic I will teach is very simple, it is… ‘Non-our kind, their hearts must differ!’”
“Since the catastrophe over 300 years ago, our Blue Star’s race has lost more than 10 billion lives!”
“Countless nations and peoples have been annihilated. And the reason we could survive is because of the unyielding and tenacious spirit of our Blue Star’s race!”
“The Alien Battlefield, All Heavens and Thousands of Tribes, are our eternal enemies that we, Blue Star’s race, can’t coexist with!”
“We must exterminate their countries and races, eradicate their descendants, otherwise, we will be the ones exterminated!”
The first lesson of ‘Modern War Military Theory’ greatly shocked the students.
For the first time, they gained a clear understanding of the danger of the Alien Battlefield.
After taking a sip of tea, Bai Bin continued, “Today’s lesson is titled ‘The Practice and Application of Modern Firearms on the Alien Battlefield’.”
“Warfare is what our Blue Star’s race excels at and few hundred years ago there was a saying: any carbon-based life form is nothing in the face of the power of firearms.”
“But why did we, the race of Blue Star, suffer a crushing defeat during the catastrophe over 300 years ago?!”
“Does anyone here know why?”
