Chapter 716: Chapter 713: The School Beauty’s Bet

League of Legends is a very popular game at present, and of course, there are people in Senior Class One who play. Truly good students won’t just bury themselves in books; they play when it’s time to play.

This motto, when released, probably toppled quite a few people.

"My guess is that the person who wrote this motto is still in elementary school." Chen Herun said seriously, still with the same look, as if my calculations were precise.

"Who submitted this? I’m gonna find him for a one-on-one!" Gao Le also joined in the commotion.

Lin Tian shook his head with a smile, there really were quite a few in Senior Class One who played games.

"Lin Tian, what is League of Legends?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"Uh, it’s just a game, one that boys play," Lin Tian said, not sure how to explain, and just blurted out.

Xiao Manxuan blinked her large eyes, puzzled, "I really don’t get you boys, what’s so fun about a game?"

"That’s what you don’t understand. A game is not just a game; it’s the carrier for players’ dreams that can’t be realized in reality. Every player can find a reflection of themselves in some hero."

"Just like the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, with a captivating and beautiful face, I enchant thousands of beings, yet unknown to them, I have long harbored a person in my heart, but can only endlessly yearn. The pearl you gave me, I’ve always kept with me, because it allows me to see your figure," Lin Tian said with passion and emotion.

Xiao Manxuan’s eyes became misty for a moment as she recited, "I enchant thousands of beings, yet unknown to them, I have long harbored a person in my heart, but can only endlessly yearn. Such tragic beauty, can a game really be so beautiful?"

Beautiful? Lin Tian was stupefied; when had he said games were beautiful? Girls’ thought processes really were different from boys’. They focused on whether it was beautiful, while boys were concerned about whether it was fun to play.

Unable to clarify, he could only give a couple of "hmms," taking it as a response.

Zhang Lingyu joked, "Lin Tian, you seem quite capable of enchanting people too. Do you have someone in your heart?"

"Of course, I do," Lin Tian said with certainty.

"Who is it?" Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan asked in unison.

"Second Miss, of course. As her bodyguard, I naturally keep her in my heart at all times. Otherwise, how could I protect her?" Lin Tian stated as a matter of course.

Xiao Manxuan was taken aback, then her pretty face blushed, and with a coquettish look, she glared playfully at Lin Tian, chiding, "You bad guy, with so many people in class, why do you have to say that?"

Is there a problem with what I said? Lin Tian touched his nose and wondered. Zhang Lingyu gave Lin Tian a curious look, her gaze flickered, not knowing what she was thinking.

Talking about games with women sure was like playing the lute to a cow—they went from a slogan to "bad guy"; Lin Tian couldn’t figure out their line of thought.

The classmates expressed their condemnation of the person who wrote that slogan, and Fatty Huang continued reading the second one.

"Pass the exams, marry a rich and beautiful wife, and reach the pinnacle of life!"

"Pfft..." Lin Tian almost spat out a mouthful of water. Who wrote this slogan? The school actually approved it; when did the principal become so understanding?

If exams could land you a rich and beautiful wife, Xiao Manxuan was the epitome of one. Who could even surpass her in exams?

Next, Fatty Huang revealed even more shocking slogans. This year, the slogans completely broke away from the old-fashioned sayings and became catchy and easy-to-understand phrases. It must be said, the talent of the students should not be underestimated.

The classmates began to put up slogans for the college entrance examination. Just now, a bunch of them were shouting about dueling the one who wrote the first slogan, but they ended up sticking it at the most conspicuous place.

Because apart from this slogan being somewhat normal, the others couldn’t be displayed in the prominent spot above the blackboard on the teacher’s podium.

Like one that says, "Outstudy the rich second generation, outcompete the official second generation." If that slogan was put up in the most prominent spot, Class Leader He would be invited by the principal for a tea chat within an hour.

In the end, and most importantly, the college entrance exam countdown sign was placed by Class Leader He in the most conspicuous position by the entrance.

On the white square sign, written in red whiteboard marker, were a few words and a number: College Entrance Exam Countdown: 12 days.

"Only twelve days left..." Lin Tian murmured softly to himself, feeling a flood of emotions.

Initially, his grandfather’s wish was for him to study hard and go to college; now, in just twelve more days, that wish would come true.

While others were still worried about not getting admitted, Lin Tian’s sights were set further. Not getting in was no longer his concern, and his thoughts were already on that hidden world.

"Lin Tian, what university are you planning to apply for?" Xiao Manxuan asked.

Lin Tian spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "Whatever university Second Miss applies to, I’ll apply there too. Otherwise, who will protect you?"

Xiao Manxuan’s face turned red again, but she still haughtily snorted, "Hmph, talking big. I have the top grades in the whole grade. Try catching up to me first."

"Alright then, let’s see who really is the top of the grade in this mock exam — me, you, and Zhang Lingyu," Lin Tian said confidently with a smile.

"You’re on, who’s afraid!" Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu said in unison.

"Hey, don’t be so quick to agree. There’s a price to pay if you lose; otherwise, there’s no point in competing," Lin Tian said with a cheeky smile.

Zhang Lingyu sneered disdainfully, "Look at that sleazy face of yours, definitely no good. Spit it out, what’s the price?"

"I’m a very pure person, okay?" Lin Tian protested, but in front of the two school beauties, his protest was futile. He had to say, "If you lose, each of you just has to give me a kiss..."

"In your dreams!" The girls protested immediately, ready to tear Lin Tian apart.

In front of beauties, Lin Tian was an old hand; how could he possibly be afraid of the glares from two little girls? He deliberately said, "If I lose, I’ll also let each of you kiss me. Fair bet, right?"

"Hmph, no matter what, it’s you who benefits! Big pervert, you think I don’t know your little schemes? You’ve been eyeing me and Xuanxuan for more than a day or two," Zhang Lingyu snorted.

"Exactly, Sister Yu said to beware of you, the bad guy doing bad things," Xiao Manxuan added.

Damn, what had Miss and Second Miss actually said? To beware of a pervert and it turns out it’s on me? This is like guarding against theft, fire, and your own brothers, Lin Tian thought quite frustratedly.

But he pretended to sneer and also snorted, "Hmph, I know you have no confidence, afraid of losing to me. Let’s just forget the competition then."

"Alas, I wish to ride the winds and return home, yet I fear the lofty towers of crystal and jade – too high, unbearable in their cold. Carelessly standing too high, truly an unbeatable loneliness," Lin Tian looked at the two school beauties and deliberately sighed.

Xiao Manxuan couldn’t stand Lin Tian’s provocation and was about to agree, but Zhang Lingyu stopped her.

Zhang Lingyu laughed, "You don’t have to provoke us; we’re not fooled by that kind of tactic."

"Heh heh, I don’t know about others, but I know for sure that you’d fall for it," Lin Tian chuckled.

"Sister Yu, this bad guy is too arrogant. You need to put him in his place!" Xiao Manxuan said indignantly.
