Chapter 43 Back to the Dorm

On the way back, the three girls were in high spirits, especially Lu Ying and Lu Lingxiao, chattering and asking questions. It was as if they had only been drinking water. Girls admired the strong, and from today onwards, dormitory 4396 had replaced Gao Yunfeng as the new focus of Tianjing Mech Wu.

Li Hao spared no effort in praising Wu Zang, calling him a good steel boy, which made the three girls laugh. Li Hao didn't know what was so funny.

After walking for a while, Lu Ying and Lu Lingxiao suddenly had something to do in the classroom and left Tan Ziyuan in Li Hao's care.

With two fewer people, the atmosphere immediately quieted down. The campus of Tianjing Mech Wu was still beautiful.

"Li Hao, you're so amazing, why were your grades last in the class last year?" Tan Ziyuan asked curiously.

"Ma Long really says everything. He even makes such embarrassing things known. I must get him back for that!" Li Hao gritted his teeth. It was rare to see a man as gossipy as him.

Tan Ziyuan chuckled. "You're evading the question. It seems you're not as honest as Ma Long says."

"This is a secret. Don't tell anyone else," Li Hao said softly, looking around to make sure no one was nearby.

Tan Ziyuan was stunned. "If it's important, you don't have to tell me."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's exposed anyway. I'm actually a peerless master. According to the plot, I need to hide my strength and soar to the sky when the time is right. I had to control my scores in the first year. I thought Zuo Xiaotang would be the last, but he used extra credit. I accidentally messed up." Li Hao shrugged helplessly.

Tan Ziyuan looked at Li Hao's innocent face and burst out laughing. Today, Tan Ziyuan was wearing a goose-yellow dress, revealing a section of her fair and slender legs. Perhaps because of the alcohol, her oval face was flushed, making her exceptionally beautiful. Her big eyes stared at Li Hao. "You're so naughty."

Li Hao smiled slightly. "Better a dead friend than a dead me."

"Then how are you so familiar with Ophilo and the others?"

"They're old friends from the youth training camp. We used to mess around a lot, so we had a good relationship. After so many years, these people have become famous and still remember me. I highly suspect they're coming for my already flat wallet."

"Now that you're the captain of Tianjing Mech Wu, will you invite them to play in the campus tournament in the future?" Tan Ziyuan didn't believe it. With the status of these people, would they come based on ordinary friendship?

Moreover, there were so many of them. What amazing things had Li Hao done during the youth training camp? And the casual attitude he had towards Chao Qinglong when they were eating – that was the number one player in USE.

"I have this plan, but it depends on their schedule. I don't have that much influence," Li Hao nodded.

As the two chatted, their walking speed was actually quite fast. If Teacher Ma were here, he would tell Li Hao that when walking with a girl, you must slow down. This was not rushing, you could rush anytime, but the campus path of youthful life was one step less for every step taken, and you had to cherish it.

By this time, they had arrived at the entrance of the dormitory building. "Senior, we're here. Mission accomplished. Safe journey, no criminals were found."

"Thank you." Tan Ziyuan looked at Li Hao, hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

Li Hao had already left. Watching Li Hao's back, the joy on Tan Ziyuan's face just now was slightly dimmed, but then she gave a knowing smile.

Back in the dormitory, Sheng Man, Lu Ying, and Lu Lingxiao had already arrived. Sheng Man had put in a lot of effort for her best friend. She had settled Zhou Nayi and then had Lu Ying and Lu Lingxiao accompany her first, so it wouldn't be too awkward, and then naturally leave when the time was right.

"How was it, how was it? Did you get him?" Lu Ying couldn't wait to ask.

Tan Ziyuan took off her coat, revealing her graceful figure. "He didn't like me."

"Ziyuan, not to say anything, but you can't be too picky. Li Hao is definitely a stock with potential!" Sheng Man said helplessly. Her girlfriend was good in every way, but she was too picky.

Tan Ziyuan shook her head. "He didn't like me."

What!

The three sisters in the dormitory wouldn't let it go. "Impossible, these straight men won't express themselves at all, and they're timid. You have to be a little more proactive and give the other party some opportunities," Sheng Man said.

"Sheng Man is right. Besides, you've only just met, how can it be so fast? There's no man a woman can't conquer."

Tan Ziyuan smiled slightly. "That's true, but this is my intuition, and he's not like ordinary people."

"Oh~~~, so it's him. Who is he?"

"He is my target!"

"Wow, Miss Tan is about to start her strategy."

"Let me see if the beauty Tan is in love."

"Lu Ying, don't, you're touching my chest… ah…"

The three girls started to swarm her, and in an instant, clothes flew everywhere in the dormitory, a patch of snow-white… (The following is not what you like to read, omitted a thousand words.)

Li Hao didn't take it seriously at all, but after walking for a while, he sobered up. He didn't want to get drunk. Alcohol was no different from water to him. His body was already very different from ordinary people due to Bleem's modification.

Some things that happened in the dreams controlled by Bleem not only affected his memory and mental world, but also changed his body. Without a strong enough body, he couldn't support the consumption of the dreams at all.

The human brain consumes about a quarter of the body's energy, while Li Hao consumed even more. If it were an ordinary person, his dream consumption would turn him into a dried corpse overnight, but his strength was getting stronger and stronger. Li Hao could absorb power from the dream, which was a very wonderful feeling. Perhaps it was not a dream at all, but another form of existence in the world.

But so far, he had not found anyone who could help him. He really wanted to know the origin of Bleem.

Ding-dong…

The message notification sound brought Li Hao back to the real world. It was A Youyou.

"Hi, Aiyouyou, is training over?"

"Not yet, I'm taking a break. It'll probably be another hour. Senior, is the celebration lively?"

"It's okay. It would be even better if you could come." Without A Youyou, Li Hao always felt like something was missing.

"Or I can go find you when I'm done, but it will be very late."

"No matter how late, it's not too late. You focus on training. I also have training tasks in the EMP building. We're both diligent," Li Hao said happily.

"Okay, Senior, see you later, good luck."

Listening to A Youyou's voice, Li Hao suddenly felt full of energy. He didn't care what Bleem did. There would always be a way. There was no need to worry about things that might not happen. He just needed to do what he should do.

In the dormitory, Ma Long was miserably taking care of Zuo Xiaotang, who was vomiting everywhere. No one came back to help him. He was too difficult for his brothers. Wasn't it nice to hug the fragrant Manman?

"Ah, don't hug me, damn it, my limited edition T-shirt, Zuo Xiaopang, don't vomit there, go to the toilet… damn it, why are you so heavy…"

On the other side of the stage, the director clapped his hands. "Let's do one last rehearsal."

Arths appeared. Although he was only wearing a simple black T-shirt and a baseball cap, all eyes were drawn to him. The lights turned on, Arths raised his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Not far away, Su Yu also smiled. A Youyou had been in surprisingly good shape recently. Her little face was glowing every day. Did she secretly use some limited edition skin care products? She didn't even share it.

EMP.

There was a kind of person who could attract attention just by standing there.

Puppet appeared!

Puppet appeared!

Puppet appeared!

A red alert sounded in the Puppet fan group. Capture a Puppet.

Zhuang Zhou and Huo Nan were notified as soon as possible. They only connected when Puppet was online. At other times, they each broadcast their own content. When Puppet was not around, Zhuang Zhou almost never broadcast. He didn't plan to become a professional streamer.

But Huo Nan was different. Streaming was his way of making a living, especially after losing a lot of money. Healing was a difficult thing. He had been having a bit of insomnia these days, and he could even dream about this ghost dancing in his dreams, and then the numbers on his bank card were decreasing rapidly.

Huo Nan carefully studied it and found that this ghost used to mainly play in the virtual area. Although there were not many video records, he basically played everything. It was not like now, when he was fixed on the mech series. He had all kinds of concept mechs. He was just an ordinary player. How did he become so fierce when he entered the real area?

Was there some conspiracy in USE?

But it didn't feel like it, or was he just a freak?

Li Hao entered the EMP system, and a message sounded. He looked down to check and casually swiped to confirm, a smile on his face. It was A Youyou's rehearsal photo. The cute girl was showing off her figure very smugly. Hmph, his figure was also very good. Li Hao looked at each photo carefully. The radiant Aiyouyou was really beautiful.

It took a little longer than usual to queue for a match. Finally, he entered.

"Old Man, it's nice to see you. I've missed you so much these past few days," Zhuang Zhou said politely.

"Oh, tell me, how happy are you?" Huo Nan raised his eyebrows. This kid was a bit cocky. Could he be defeated by just two space fortresses? Who was he looking down on!

His wealth was something you poor Earthlings could never understand.

"Very, very happy!" Zhuang Zhou looked at Huo Nan like he was looking at money.

"You're happy too soon. I've already discovered Puppet's weakness. I've compared his previous match records with his recent ones. He almost always focuses on close combat, which means that ranged attacks must be his weakness. No one is perfect. I suggest that the warriors in the back put pressure on him in this area. Even in close combat, don't use brute force. Use technique, speed, and tactics!" Huo Nan said.

Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly. "Old Man, you're too attached to appearances. Puppet God cannot be targeted. To be honest, I really want to see the mech Leopard. I feel like Puppet God hasn't shown his full potential yet."

"Hehe, Little Zhuang, at least you're a student at Tianjing Mech Wu, and you're in the journalism department. The essence of journalism is to be factual. Is it really good for you to be so arrogant?"

"Old Man, it's two different things. There are always some things in the world that are difficult to explain scientifically. This is my intuition. Puppet God has magical power!"

"Haha, you're getting more and more mysterious. But you're really suitable to be a streamer. You're boastful and shameless!" Huo Nan was, of course, not polite. In terms of seniority or Martian personality, he was very direct.

Huo Nan looked at his opponent and was stunned for a moment. Zhuang Zhou also noticed and smiled slightly. Little newbie, you're still too young to fight with me!

(Dear bosses, I will basically check one or two times before uploading to correct typos. I will also correct redundant or inaccurate parts. I am very happy with the current writing state. I just want to write a cool story. It will be released on October 1st, so stay tuned!)
