Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Academic Qualifications

Although the other party put up all kinds of difficulties, they still couldn’t find a breakthrough with Xu Yingguang, leaving them no choice but to angrily hang up the contact.

"Hmph... finally gone," Xu Yingguang adjusted his suit jacket, his face untroubled.

Then, Xu Yingguang looked at the others.

"They’re desperate, and their tactics usually have no limits, so what we need to do now is to protect Xiao Yi and make good use of everything Xiao Yi brings to us," Xu Yingguang then asked, "So, where is Xiao Yi now?"

"He’s on his way," someone answered, "He should arrive in about half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Xu Yingguang pondered for a moment, "I have some things to deal with, find someone to chat with Xiao Yi for me first. The rest of you continue to be vigilant of the other party’s every move."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Xu Yingguang left the room, and the others began their tasks with heightened tension.

...

"Cough cough! Mr. Xiao Yi, may I ask you a few questions now?"

"Mmm... go ahead."

Now, Xiao Yi was in a top-floor suite of a hotel, having a conversation with someone.

However, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but let out a small sigh.

Xiao Yi thought that if an airplane could fly so fast, it must be more thrilling than a roller coaster.

But after actually being on an airplane, Xiao Yi found that the only time he really felt anything was during takeoff; after the ascent, it was extremely smooth and utterly disappointing.

What’s more idiotic is that you can’t even open the windows on a plane! If you felt stuffy, you just had to endure it.

Cars could have their windows rolled down, so why couldn’t planes, which are so much better than cars?

Anyway, Xiao Yi was now stationed in this tightly secured and fully equipped hotel, and the person sitting opposite Xiao Yi was the negotiator temporarily in charge of liaising with Xiao Yi for Xu Yingguang.

Seeing that Xiao Yi agreed, the negotiator dared to ask, "So, the most important question, Mr. Xiao Yi, what is your Talent?"

"Talent?" Xiao Yi pondered slightly before replying, "Although I’ve never actually tested it, I think my Talent in science is probably stronger than in arts. Although some people say that when it comes to science and arts, my only choice is to fail."

"...Ah?" The negotiator was taken aback, "No no, I’m not asking about that kind of Talent, I’m asking about the Talent you acquired in the Analog Horror, that is, the one from the Professor and his family’s instance."

"Acquired?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "I never got anything from the Professor and them."

"Sorry, I misspoke, I wasn’t saying you got something from the Professor, I was saying, did you hear any system prompts telling you that you’ve awakened some kind of Talent?"

"Ah... there seems to have been."

"That’s great! Then please tell me what your Talent is!"

"I forgot."

"...Huh?"

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "A lot happened last night, I can’t possibly remember everything so clearly, so I forgot."

The negotiator’s mouth twitched slightly.

That was something vitally important! You can forget anything but not that!

Dragon Country still has no idea what Xiao Yi’s Talent is, which also means they can’t make a definite judgment of Xiao Yi’s power.

The conversation was just not moving forward.

The negotiator understood that he was no match for Xiao Yi—is this the terror of an IQ of 6?

Just then, the door to the room was knocked, and Xu Yingguang walked in.

"Mr. Xu!"

Seeing Xu Yingguang, the negotiator seemed to see a savior; he quickly got up and gave up his seat, standing to one side.

"I’ll take over from here; it’s been hard on you," Xu Yingguang said as he took a seat opposite Xiao Yi, "Xiao... no, may I call you Mr. Xiao?"

"Just Xiao Yi is fine," Xiao Yi asked, "Uncle, who are you?"

"I am Xu Yingguang," Xu Yingguang introduced himself, "I’m the person in charge of all your future affairs."

"Responsible?" Xiao Yi looked at Xu Yingguang and asked, "Uncle, are you going to take responsibility for me?"

Xiao Yi’s words nearly choked the negotiator standing by—what kind of talk was that, it was too weird!

However, what the negotiator did not expect was that Xu Yingguang actually nodded!

"Yes, I will take full responsibility for you. So I hope you will take my words seriously."

"Mhm, sure, since you’re going to take responsibility for me, I’ll take your words seriously."

Sense the atmosphere going off-track, the negotiator shrank his neck and decided it was better not to speak.

However, as soon as the negotiator had made this decision, Xu Yingguang asked him, "Negotiator, did you explain everything about Analog Horror to him?"

The negotiator nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve explained everything in detail."

Xu Yingguang then looked at Xiao Yi, "So, Xiao Yi, do you understand your current situation?"

"Of course, I do," Xiao Yi said, "So basically, whenever that strange voice sounds, I just do what the voice tells me, right?"

The negotiator was about to spit blood from frustration—he had painstakingly explained so much, and that’s all you remembered, kid?

Xu Yingguang pondered slightly, "...That’s still not enough; you also have to discover the instance’s rules yourself and then strive to meet the conditions stated in the rules. In short, your success can benefit us all, so I hope you will do your utmost in this matter. In exchange, I will provide as much help as possible and fulfill all your requests."

"Oh."

Xiao Yi’s response was very indifferent, the negotiator guessed he had not yet grasped the significance of these words.

Then, Xu Yingguang’s next statement made Xiao Yi’s eyes light up.

"For example... education, that’s the best proof of your IQ, right? If you can succeed in clearing the Kaidan Dungeon, I can also help you advance your education."

"Education!" Xiao Yi immediately looked at Xu Yingguang and asked excitedly, "Then... can I also become a Professor?"

"Yes, of course."

"Say no more!" Xiao Yi immediately stood up, "Boss, do you want me to commit murder or arson? It doesn’t really relate to education; mainly, I just like it."

"...Ah?" The negotiator was completely flabbergasted.

"You always manage to say things that catch people off guard," Xu Yingguang remarked before adding, "You don’t have to do any of that; just cooperate with us. Also, as agreed, I will arrange for you to enroll at Dragon Country’s highest institution, that is, Xiu Kong University."

"University?" But upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s expression revealed dissatisfaction, "I don’t want to go to university."

The negotiator thought they had made a deal, only to be surprised by Xiao Yi’s sudden discontent—was he about to raise higher demands?

Xu Yingguang also asked, "Why?"

However, the words Xiao Yi uttered next took both of them by surprise.

"If I go directly to university, who’s going to make up for my missing high school entrance exam?"
