Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Jiushan Temple (Please like, bookmark, and add to your reading list)

Old Zhao looked at Li Changhe with a shocked face: "Who are you, handsome guy?"

Li Changhe slowly stopped his bike, looked into Old Zhao’s eyes, and tutted: "Aren’t I the treasure of our Class 7? A few days apart, and you’re being polite to me? I’ll tell you first, us ’Commoner Alliance’ folks don’t mingle with you rich people. Complimenting my looks won’t work!"

Old Zhao’s mouth twitched as he listened to the familiar tone of Li Changhe. He sized him up and down.

The bike was new, and his clothes were a rare sight of formal attire. It seemed he hadn’t gone to work recently, and then there was his hand...

"What happened to your hand?"

"You’ve sized me up three times, and that’s all you have to say?" Li Changhe frowned, feeling something was off.

He examined himself; there was no problem. He hadn’t worked recently and was recovering, so he wore a shirt and a windbreaker on top. It was different from his usual attire, but he shouldn’t be called handsome upon meeting. Li Changhe always felt something was wrong.

Something’s off–could it be the windbreaker? It shouldn’t be; he had worn it before.

Li Changhe touched his forehead, temporarily blocking Old Zhao’s line of sight. He then used the [Eagle’s Demon Eye], but there seemed to be no difference in his view.

Yun Ting had said the same thing, and so had Old Zhao.

Li Changhe silently opened his [Player Panel]

[Hundred-Headed Shooter·Uncle Eight-direction]

[Level: 6]

[Strength: 8+1]

[Agility: 9]

[Physique: 10]

[Energy: 7+2]

[Status 1: The presence of the Abnormal Symbiotic Body gives your energy +2]

[Status 2: ’Elf’s Prayer’ has protected the Elf’s warrior. You are now more attractive and eye-catching! At the same time, gain the goodwill of the elves.]

.....

Li Changhe???

That’s it? Come on! Mr. Bai and He Feng have this status too. They seem normal when he sees them, right?

Li Changhe had always thought it was similar to the scene dialogue of "Hello Warrior." The goodwill of the elves behind it was the main point, probably the condition for subsequent tasks.

So...

"It turns out, I’m really more handsome now?" Li Changhe muttered.

He didn’t care much; he was already handsome. Just a little more wouldn’t hurt!

As for those who said he wasn’t handsome, they were just mortals who couldn’t appreciate his wisdom and beauty!

No wonder people were looking at him along the way. It was due to this [Status].

No good, being too eye-catching wasn’t okay.

But Li Changhe had no choice. Not to mention whether the [Status] could be removed, he was worried that if he did, the subsequent tasks couldn’t be completed.

"Sigh, I can’t even choose not to be handsome if I want to," Li Changhe grumbled.

Old Zhao looked confused after listening, then asked, "Did you have some kind of makeover somewhere? You just don’t feel like yourself."

"People change," Li Changhe didn’t explain much and pushed his bike into the school.

In the meantime, he contacted He Feng through [Friends].

He Feng said, what? He didn’t notice anything like that!

Li Changhe thought about it; He Feng was a playboy. Flirting with girls like it was nothing. It really wasn’t noticeable for him.

Contacting Mr. Bai, it turned out he was being chatted up and was too busy to talk about this. There was a tone of satisfaction in his words.

Tsk, what kind of thing is this? A grown-up playing this game?

Stop now, or you’re flirting to your death!

Li Changhe complained inwardly.

When he entered the school, Li Changhe realized the power of this [Status] was indeed not weak.

With no previous luck with women, several girls were now greeting him as he walked by. They asked about his hand, if it hurt, and the like.

Li Changhe thought inwardly that when he was injured during training before, he hadn’t seen them so enthusiastic.

As soon as he entered the classroom.

Almost everyone had an expression of, ’whoa, who the hell are you?’

It took the homeroom teacher two laps around him to confirm this was Li Changhe. How could he not recognize him just by his face?

Li Changhe’s mouth twitched, this was beyond a matter of being handsome or not. They all had face blindness!

Did [Elf’s Prayer] give me a new face or something?

Actually, it’s not their fault. Before, Li Changhe was either cracking jokes and making people laugh, or he was barely noticeable.

He really wasn’t eye-catching usually.

Now, [Elf’s Prayer] could be said to have enhanced his presence. He went from not being noticeable to quite eye-catching.

This difference was more apparent now.

In everyone’s eyes, the originally fairly delicate-looking Li Changhe suddenly became charming.

Honestly, this gave Li Changhe a headache. [Players] should be more hidden. It’s not safe to be so conspicuous now.

He Feng is an exception since he has always been eye-catching. Being a top student with good looks, he can’t be ignored even without [Elf’s Prayer].

If there’s an unexpected attack, He Feng, the eye-catching one, would be the first target. Let him show off!

But now... isn’t he himself also in trouble?

On the other side, Xiao Nan’s face looked weird. She really didn’t think Li Changhe had changed, or maybe in her eyes, Li Changhe has always been like this.

In the past few days, while applying medicine for him, she didn’t notice that he had become more handsome. How could that be?

"Am I already numb to it? But Chen Yu didn’t mention any change like this... I was too preoccupied with settling scores with her." Xiao Nan muttered to herself.

Xiao Nan confronted Chen Yu, and they focused on seeking justice instead of recognizing that their [Task Reward] had brought about this kind of change.

Noticing every now and then, some girls were looking in Li Changhe’s direction.

Xiao Nan furrowed her brows slightly, feeling a little irritated. She exhaled softly, feeling the workload had just gotten a lot bigger.

In fact, this doesn’t affect Li Changhe much. He goes to class and eats as usual.

It’s just that people come to chat with him from time to time. That makes Li Changhe somewhat uncomfortable.

However, besides the familiar faces like He Feng and Xiao Nan, there’s one more person who seems unaffected by Li Changhe’s change - the physical education teacher...

"Oh, my little ancestors! The sports meet is coming up. Why did you get injured now?" The physical education teacher is actually responsible for coaching various Yanyun athletes.

Upon seeing Li Changhe’s injury, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He didn’t care whether Li Changhe had become more handsome or not; he cared about the scores. Good looks don’t help in his line of work.

Li Changhe was one of the main players among Yanyun athletes. His injury was a real loss. The sports meet in one month was a big event.

"Don’t worry." Li Changhe, with one arm in a cast, picked up a javelin and casually threw it, hitting the archery target next door.

"I’ve been undefeated in the martial arts world for eighteen years with one arm!" Li Changhe declared that he could still win medals with only one hand.

The other athletes, who had just witnessed his feat, let out a collective ’gasp’ of disdain. He threw the javelin just ten meters onto the target and started bragging. They don’t know it was as if he had killed an enemy from eight hundred miles away.

Li Changhe thought distance didn’t matter, but his shot was accurate. If they take a closer look at the target, they will see Li Changhe’s javelin pierced through the 10-ring. [Long-range Attack Proficiency] was a passive skill, Li Changhe can shoot without missing.

Picking up a medal casually, what’s the matter with that?

"A bunch of noobs!"

"Damn! He’s still so arrogant with a busted hand?"

...

"Recover as soon as possible." The physical education teacher sighed, not caring about the others’ banter: "Next week, when we go to Jiushan City for the autumn outing. You all have to undergo special training at Jiushan Temple. Get ready."

The athletes were stunned, letting out sighs and groans.

"They’re going to have fun while we’re going for special training?"

"Not good. I had planned to go shopping with my girlfriend there."

"And the special training is in a temple? Learning the Yi Jin Jing? Teacher, this method is outdated!"

Li Changhe had his heart stirred... Jiushan City, Jiushan Temple?

Isn’t that... the place where [Unseen Red Dust] wants him to deliver the letter?

"What a coincidence?" Li Changhe mumbled to himself, "What if I go in and the eighteen bronze men beat me up?"
