Chapter 1241: Chapter 850: The Deal

Inside an exam room at a school in Yanyun, Li Changhe was receiving complaints from Brother Dong among his [Friends].

"It’s all because of you, you little brat! You actually made me carry such a huge burden!" Brother Dong’s indignation seemed to burst forth from the text.

Having just finished the last question, Li Changhe claimed he was innocent, okay?

His own ranking had tanked at the top eight, and Moon God withdrew because he was already eligible to draw for the Nine-Turns Resurrection Pill. Chen Guang withdrew because he didn’t need a high ranking to prove himself, although it’s also possible he was just being cheap. Wuji really revered Yang Dong of the Great Wall for the kind of person he was, and Sword Brother also couldn’t stop praising Yang Dong. As for Champion Marquis... the situation was unknown.

"How can you blame this on me?" Li Changhe continued checking his test paper while replying in [Friends], "I definitely didn’t claim to be Brother Dong, you have to believe me. Besides, Brother Dong, you’ve gained quite a lot too."

"Gained a lot, you mean the forty curses? Over twenty of those curses are from Different Races, about a dozen are from the Chaos side, and a few others are of unknown origin." Brother Dong complained, "If it weren’t for my Title Skill that can turn curses into amplifications, I’d be afraid to even take deep breaths! And it’s all because of someone!"

In fact, Yang Dong’s complaints were not unreasonable.

Ever since Li Changhe reported Brother Dong’s great name during the Sea Clan invasion, his luck had been off. At that time, Brother Dong entered a cycle of being targeted, confronted, and counter-killed by the Sea Clan.

The armies of the Different Races who charged while chanting Yang Dong’s name were annihilated by him, which made his fame even greater.

Especially after the Great Tang task, even the official Great Wall stepped in to let him carry the blame for Li Changhe and become the major object of resentment. The name Yang Dong of the Great Wall became feared in all directions.

From then on, it was unstoppable.

In the early stages of the disaster fog, he supported from the outside world, leading various human player organizations to assist with the disaster fog. Those powerhouses all respected Yang Dong, inadvertently raising his profile once again.

And in the later stages of the disaster fog, after the Crying Hero and Li Changhe destroyed the robot factory, Brother Dong further established his Terror Devil, entering the disaster fog multiple times to rescue various Safe Zones. He was widely praised for his actions.

Now, at last, he had become the Hundred Generals Champion. He had become the nominally influential powerhouse of this era.

If one really had to say, it indeed had a little to do with Li Changhe.

But if Yang Dong had been the sort to seek cheap fame, he definitely wouldn’t have come this far. It was precisely because he was eligible!

Yang Dong just lacked confidence now.

He believed that if he hadn’t told Li Changhe a year ago the words he’d regret for life, "Report my name if there’s trouble."

He wouldn’t have ended up in his current situation. But even if Li Changhe hadn’t reported him, he would still have become known to the world.

Yang Dong of the Great Wall, the Eternal God!

His fame was well-deserved!

"To be honest, Brother Dong. Compared with Wuji and Chen Guang, you are truly the most suitable person to become the champion. Wuji is strong, but he doesn’t want to be in the limelight. He just wants the world to know that the Xuanyuan Inheritance exists, to give humanity some confidence. As for Chen Guang, well, no need to mention him, he’s just a cheap player! Only you have both the ability and the qualification to become the champion!"

That was the truth, even though there were many among the strongest demigods who disliked Li Changhe and bore him ill will.

But there were nearly none who were dissatisfied with Yang Dong. He was a Great Wall player who had saved humanity multiple times, upright and kind. Faced with Black Palace’s provocation, he didn’t hesitate to go to war. Such a person becoming the champion was what the majority of human players wanted to see.

After making sure there were no problems with his test paper, Li Changhe responded in [Friends], "And becoming the champion this time isn’t bad for you either. Besides, I heard you got promoted to deputy director. Congratulations!"

Yang Dong’s strength had now become even stronger. A Hundred Generals Champion could obtain legendary or mythical equipment, legendary-quality medicine, as well as Divine Inheritance and legendary God Sin.

This directly promoted Yang Dong to a divine creature, and a divine creature who possessed a legendary God Sin at that!

And those curses, Brother Dong had turned them all into strength. They said that getting hit by one of his punches would infect you with several curses that would immediately erupt. The result was too horrible to witness.

Not everyone had Old Lead’s ability to devour curses. The vast majority of players had no means of countering curses.

With Brother Dong’s accomplishments during this period, it was only natural for him to become the deputy director of the Yanyun branch.

"Don’t tease me," Yang Dong replied, "By the way, good luck with your college entrance exam."

"Your blessing is a bit late, I’ve just finished taking it. Right now," Li Changhe said as he heard the bell ring and handed in his test paper.

Today was the sixth day after the end of the Hundred Generals, and also the last day of the college entrance examination.

This included Li Changhe, Zhao Qianhui, and other family members or official players, all of whom had taken part in this year’s college entrance exam. Although for players, the exam was no longer important. But it served as a way to justify oneself, and also a way to account for the hundreds of test papers that Wang Er had provided.

After all, for a period, Li Changhe was either on tasks or rushing through test papers. Wang Er seemed very keen on having Li Changhe get into a first-tier university.

Now he was finally free, and no longer a high school student.

The only regret was that the girl’s injuries had not yet healed, and she still had to move around in a wheelchair.

Before the emergence of the Evolution Game, in the girl’s original plan, the day the college entrance exam ended would have been her ’net retraction’ day.

As for the prey within the net, it would naturally be Li Changhe.

The advent of the Evolution Game meant her plans had been brought forward by quite a lot. In the end, she was thoroughly devoured by Li Changhe... or should it be said that Li Changhe was thoroughly devoured?

Unfortunately, her current state was poor, and she could only move about in a wheelchair.

Every time he saw the one-armed girl sitting in the wheelchair with a desolate expression,

Li Changhe was filled with rage, wishing he could bring the Bloodriders back to life and kill them all over again!

The divinity of the Bloodriders clung like cancer cells to the girl’s divinity, difficult to erase. And without erasing the Bloodriders’ divinity, it was impossible to heal her injuries.

Even the mythic Old Lead, who had become a god, couldn’t devour the divinity within the girl. Many of His abilities were focused on defense, and He could not affect the divinity of anyone other than Li Changhe.

Currently, the officials had found several methods to strip away divinity, but none had been particularly effective.

Even deploying a demigod was not able to remove the divinity without harming the girl. Even the ancestors frowned upon this, as the Bloodriders’ inheritance was indeed troublesome. Fortunately, the ancestor said that he would find a way, and he had already thought of some solutions.

As for another matter, with the end of the Hundred Generals, Li Changhe’s [Friends] list had gained many new friends.

Most were Great Wall players.

Wuji and Chen Guang had also added him as friends.

Surprisingly, among the friend requests, Li Changhe saw two players.

The first was Xu Zhi.

As the Crying Hero’s Hidden Pile left behind in the Heavenly Principle, he was the only believer of Li Changhe in this world.

There was no issue with him adding Li Changhe. It was simply to involve Li Changhe in the Twilight Manor meeting the next day. Planning to give the demigod behind the Heavenly Principle a piece of his mind.

But the second was quite interesting—it was... Lady Nanzhuang!

This woman who had tried assassinating him not only dared to add Li Changhe as a friend but even put forth a request.

"Although I regret not being able to kill you, I promised my master, so our feud is settled. Now, let’s talk about a trade."

"Give me the Seed of Divinity, and I... will provide you with information on the Tianyan Association."

(The upcoming instance will be easier, to relieve some pressure.)
