Chapter 192: 192 Ji You’s Two Major Advantages

Ji You, in the Spiritual World, successfully hoodwinked her six lazy spirit tendrils into perking up and getting ready to resume work. Only then did she concentrate her gaze on the simulation field.

At this time, Xuzhou was already getting ready—

Xuzhou had a rugged appearance and his combat style was also wildly aggressive; the Mecha he chose was Chasing Sun. Chasing Sun is a vanguard type Mecha that focuses on speed and attack. Its pilots are known for being the suicide squad, notorious for their fearlessness. Whether it’s his appearance or his combat style, Xuzhou was quite suitable for Chasing Sun.

The starting line—

The students all stopped what they were doing, including teacher Mu Jianling, who stood by with his hands behind his back, watching intently.

Xuzhou opened fiercely, maxed out the thrusters, and charged forward with full force—

Boom—

The Mecha, like a streak of light, quickly flew past in a straight line.

Zhang Ye stared intently, and before he knew it, suddenly grabbed Ji You’s robotic arm. Ji You glanced at him, "Nervous about what? I told you he could do it, so he definitely can."

Zhang Ye: "..."

Zhang Ye quietly let go of her hand.

Damn it—

How embarrassing.

To think he was so nervous that he grabbed the arm of number 4444.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xuzhou’s Mecha encountered three obstacles, all of which he passed smoothly. He completely relied on speed to outrun the challenges—

The result was obvious—Xuzhou succeeded!

Immediately, a flurry of discussion erupted around them.

Ji You, with her arms crossed, said with a hint of satisfaction, "In this world, speed trumps all."

Zhang Ye was slightly surprised, but couldn’t help nodding, "Indeed, it is."

His surprise stemmed from not expecting number 4444 to have such a unique insight. This phrase, upon hearing, seemed remarkably profound and made one feel immensely impressed.

Ji You would not tell him that this line was plagiarized from a classic quote in a novel from her previous life. She maintained the aura of a sage, smiling and saying, "Zhang Ye, your turn, go boldly as I’ve instructed you."

Since Xuzhou could succeed, Zhang Ye naturally didn’t think he would be worse. Filled with confidence, he embarked on his journey.

Xuzhou ran back from the finish line, his face full of excitement. He turned to Ji You, and she immediately showed him an approving smile, "Little Zhouzhou is really amazing, not only are you good-looking with your bushy eyebrows and large eyes, but you’re also so clever. I’m very pleased... see, I told you that you could do it, right? I didn’t deceive you, did I?"

Xuzhou: "..."

Xuzhou very restrainedly turned towards Zhang Ye and said, "Brother, good luck!"

Zhang Ye replied seriously, "Okay."

Turning his head, Zhang Ye couldn’t help covering his mouth and chuckling secretly.

Tragic!

It was truly tragic.

His buddy was probably never going to escape this pitfall now.

Oh dear—

But why did he feel like laughing so much?

That wasn’t nice.

Not virtuous at all.

He mustn’t laugh!

Zhang Ye forcefully told himself to discard those frivolous thoughts and began preparing to set off.

At this moment—

On the challenge ground, several Mechas were waiting, but without exception, all the students who attempted had failed, leaving many with heads hung in disappointment:

Seeing others succeed so easily, but when it’s their turn, why does it seem so hard?

In the end—

Where did the problem lie?

Zhang Ye was not affected by the atmosphere of failure. When it was his turn, he stepped forward without hesitation, ready for action.

Zhang Ye’s mecha, like Xuzhou’s, was also Chasing Sun. These two truly deserved the title of like-minded friends, not only were their preferences similar, but they also coincidentally chose the same mecha.

Beside him, Ji You, with her arms crossed, asked, "Little Zhouzhou, how much faster do you think Zhang Ye will complete the challenge compared to you?"

Xuzhou: "..."

What the hell kind of nickname is Little Zhouzhou?

Xuzhou, with a depressed face, said, "It took me 20 seconds to complete it, I guess Zhang Ye should be about 5 seconds faster than me, he’ll definitely finish within 15 seconds. Also—can you not call me Little Zhouzhou?"

This habit of randomly nicknaming people is so aggravating—it makes one want to hit someone upon seeing it and punch someone upon hearing it... In short, it’s just maddening...

Ji You spread her hands, saying, "Is Little Zhouzhou not nice to hear? What about Xiao Xuxu then?"

Xuzhou: "... Can’t you be more normal?"

Ji You pretended to be helpless and said, "I can’t help it, you don’t like being called ’kid,’ so I had to opt for a diminutive nickname instead."

Xuzhou: "..."

Xuzhou took a deep breath and said, "I really appreciate your consideration."

"Ah ha..." Ji You chuckled, waving her hand and saying, "It’s such a trivial matter, why fuss over it? Let’s talk business, Little Zhouzhou, you underestimate your own strength. Although Zhang Ye’s Spiritual Level is higher than yours, I assert he will only be 2 seconds faster than you! At most 2.5 seconds! Because when it comes to piloting a mecha, although you’re not as talented as he is, you’re actually more careful than he is, did you know that?"

Xuzhou opened his mouth in surprise; hearing what Ji You said, he almost couldn’t help but believe her.

Ji You laughed and said, "Don’t believe it? Just wait and see."

At this moment, the results came out.

Zhang Ye successfully completed the challenge, taking 18 seconds.

Xuzhou’s mouth instantly widened: "..."

Ji You displayed an air of an authority figure and laughed, "Now do you believe me? I told you my greatest strength is my powerful spiritual power, but I also have another strength that can’t be ignored, which is my keen eye—you should have believed me in the beginning, why didn’t you?"

Xuzhou: "..."

It’s not that I didn’t believe you, it’s just—this guy is like some kind of charlatan, from head to toe, he emanates the sleazy aura of a swindler—

Who would dare to believe him?

But—

My face kind of hurts.

Xuzhou felt his face burning, so without a word, he expressed his feelings through silence.

Ji You chuckled and said, "Little Zhouzhou, be smart, listen to me from now on, and follow me obediently. I’ll cover you! I guarantee riches and splendor, I’ll take you to the skies!"

Xuzhou: "..."

Suddenly—

A cool voice came through: "Oh? How about you cover me as well?"

Ji You turned around and saw Teacher Mu Jianling, immediately shrinking her neck, squeezing out a smile on her face, and said, "Oh—Teacher, don’t suddenly speak like that, my little heart really can’t take it."

Mu Jianling: "Is that so?"

Ji You said: "Ah! Look at what you’re saying, Teacher, of course it’s true, truer than pearls. Although I was born with a coward’s disposition, my heart is really fragile, it’s developed just like a little bean sprout, it can’t withstand all the hardships, so please don’t scare me again, Teacher..."

She was using her own previous words to plug her mouth. Mu Jianling’s mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Enough, step back two meters."

Ji You quickly moved back two meters.

Mu Jianling: "..."

Seeing this scene, Xuzhou: "..."

It seems we still have too little experience.

Seeing No. 4444 dares to tease Teacher Mu Jianling, Xuzhou’s previous gloom dissipated in an instant.

Look~

Even Teacher Mu Jianling is not spared, so it really isn’t too bad for me.

The saying goes, without comparison there is no harm.

But—

With comparison, one can effectively lessen the harm.
