Cosmic Demon

Chapter 53 Battle Room, Fishpond Bureau
Virtual battle room?
Qin Shi's eyes were filled with anticipation. He had heard from people in the Hongzhi class of Xinyi Middle School that first-class universities not only have strong faculty, but also have a full range of advanced equipment.

With the identity recognition of the student card, you can enter the school intranet and use many functions according to your own authority.

"What's the use of my senior card? I don't even have the right to ban people, delete posts, or block accounts in the chat room. Brother, lend me your director badge so I can lead teaching assistant Xiao Qin to dominate everyone!"

Lin Yunqing smiled playfully and stretched out his hand to ask for it:

"If you can beat them, beat them. If you can't, kick them out of the room. I guarantee you'll be number one on the Qi Guang Heng Battle Power Ranking in half a week!"

Lin Xiaohan was too lazy to pay attention to his own sister who was not behaving properly. He just smiled at Qin Shi and said:

"Qiguang Hengda's score line this year is slightly higher than usual, about 800 points.

In addition to the basic points in each semester, extra points can be added as long as the results are available for exams such as the vitality level test, meditation master qualification test, and mechanical maintenance certification test.

Yun Qing is very optimistic about you. She is always picky and it is rare for her to recognize someone so much. Xiao Qin, you need to work harder and don’t let her down.”

"Okay, Director Lin."

Qin Shi nodded obediently and thought:

"Director Lin looked at me strangely. For some reason, I felt as if I was leaving my sister to you."

Could it be that I really have to become the son-in-law of the Lin family and live off him?

I am carrying Lao Liang's high hopes and intend to restore the old glory of Wu!

Qin Shi silently strengthened his belief and ignored the strong temptation of the villa, luxury car and the director's brother-in-law.

Lin Xiaohan was usually busy with his work and did not stay for too long.

Before leaving, I only said one sentence:
"Uncle Chen will have his birthday in a while. It will be held at Jinhui Building. Remember to attend the dinner."

Lin Yunqing's eyes sparkled. There were many wealthy people at this kind of occasion. Wasn't it a great opportunity to attract investment?

Compared with the young master of Dijing who always acts like a big boss, the young master of Haizhou is full of "elite style".

The current version of the wealthy young men in the Hengzhou metropolitan area is a little backward, still remaining in the infancy of "loving to show off" and "pretending to be mature", and are high-quality leeks that are easy to develop.

"Okay! Brother, I will be on time and definitely won't be late!"

Lin Yunqing agreed readily.

"Behave yourself. Wait for a while until mom calms down. I'll ask Zhenzhen to buy some supplements and plead for you. What are you doing at the Youth Palace? You're wasting time writing papers and doing research."

Lin Xiaohan warned worriedly.

His sister was forced to choose the ancient history major in the Psychic Department of Qiguang Hengda due to her mediocre talent and slow vitality growth.

But he was obsessed with martial arts. He watched the Star Cup competition videos over and over again since he was a child and pestered his father to teach him the new martial arts boxing.

After his vitality rises to 17 or 18 points, he becomes forgetful and starts looking for fights and causing troubles everywhere, showing that he is both a green hand and a playful person.

If the Lin family had not had some face in Hengzhou Xinxing, they would have suffered countless losses.

"No, I didn't do anything wrong. It was Qin who was blind and treated me like a money-hungry canary, showing off his wealth and throwing money around."

Lin Yunqing said angrily:

"If it were Dijing or Haizhou, I would just yell and a dozen of my brothers would cut him into pieces!"

Lin Xiaohan shook his head helplessly. His sister's temper is like her mother's and her hobbies are like her father's. It's really a headache.

After leaving the villa area, Secretary Xu, who was waiting outside, parked the car on the side of the road.

He then bent down, opened the car door, and let Director Lin get in.

"Hengzhou, ah Hengzhou, there are so many problems left over from history that I don't know where to start."

Lin Xiaohan leaned back in the back seat, his brows gradually furrowed as he thought about the conversation he had just had with his younger sister.

Before he left Yazhou, he had a serious talk with his father.

Among the three departments and nine ministries of Dongxia, the Education Department has the largest structure, the most bloated staff, and the slowest promotion.

If the young generation wants to come to the fore, they must bring down the conservatives who are sitting there doing nothing and are like zombies in an ancient tomb.

The imperial capital in the north is a powerful aristocratic city, and it is easy to break in if you just get past it; the Haizhou and Jingzhou, which are a level lower, are tightly knit together, with many hilltops, and it is difficult to squeeze in.

If you want to step into the red building of the Education Department to report on your work and become a senior official before you turn fifty, you naturally need to make outstanding political achievements.

"Hengzhou has been marginalized for many years. If the Chen and Lin families join forces to cure the chronic disease and eliminate the root cause, there may be some opportunities."

Lin Xiaohan took off his glasses and wiped them gently.

He did not inherit his father's cynical and indifferent attitude and personality. Instead, he is more like his mother, with a strong desire to win and unwilling to lag behind others.

"Secretary Xu, is there any movement from the Qin family?"

"Qin Lihao had invited Director Lin to dinner every day and sent him gifts several times in a row. I responded as you instructed, saying that you were too busy and had no time."

Secretary Xu drove the Lingyun A6, a symbol of the system, steadily:

"But it suddenly stopped in the past two days."

Lin Xiaohan put on his black-framed glasses again:
"The person in charge of the Qin family is Qin Renying. Since Qin Lihao has stopped making any moves, it's time for his eldest brother to step forward."

Chen, Lin, Qin, and Zheng.

When the Fourth Regiment of the Great Expedition incorporated Hengzhou into the territory of Dongxia, the first pioneers to arrive were these four major families.

It is undeniable that they invested huge amounts of manpower and material resources in the early stages of development, and many of their bloodline descendants fell one after another on the thorny road of border exploration, creating a series of tragic stories in the family history.

But the first batch of generous dividends had already been plundered and digested by them, allowing the family to multiply and spread out, forming the strongest tree rooted in this land.

"After a thousand years, the four great families should have left Hengzhou with their harvest, but the explosion... made Hengzhou the eighth administrative planet in Dongxia to carry out 'electronic blockade' and 'energy confinement'. It is only possible to enter, but difficult to leave."

Lin Xiaohan tapped the handrail unconsciously, and his unreliable father's words seemed to echo in his ears:
“Different people have different ways of making progress. How you take the first step often depends on how far you set your sights.

Some people need to constantly emphasize their origins, regions, and surnames to express their intention to be selected and trained; others should wash away the stigma that accompanies them since birth to prove their own enlightenment.

……

……

"Come on, Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin, I'll help you register a user number for the virtual battle room!"

Lin Yunqing eagerly pulled Qin Shi into the elevator and walked into the spacious and bright basement.

She somehow came up with a computer about the size of a washing machine that used transistors as components.

Its surface is etched with intricate and beautifully streamlined text, like mysterious symbols.

Qin Shi, who was proficient in five regional common languages, couldn't understand it at all and just thought it was very strange.

This doesn't look like a technological invention, but more like a ritual vessel for religious sacrifices.

"Are you Dongxia people so ritualistic when you surf the Internet and use the computer?" He put aside his doubts for the moment and took the thing that Lin Yunqing handed over.

The overall shape is like a motorcycle helmet. When powered on, the goggles flash with a constantly refreshing data stream.

Matte black, special material, light in hand, exudes an "unaffordable" luxury.

"The 'Spiritual Realm Series' developed by Santan Heavy Industries is better than the ugly tight combat suits and VR equipment with relatively poor synchronization. It's a pity that the latest portable model has not been released yet..."

Lin Yunqing's explanation was filled with unfamiliar words that Qin Shi only half understood.

This may be the estrangement and generation gap caused by family background.

Even the wealthy kids in the elite classes of Xinyi Middle School may not be able to afford such "toys".

"Is there a similar symbol engraved on the helmet?"

Qin Shi weighed it over and asked directly.

"Teacher Lin, what are these?"

"You can think of it as the unique design style of Santan Heavy Industry. As for its function, you can think of it as 'exorcism'."

Lin Yunqing replied.

Exorcism? What? Are there ghosts hiding in the electronic network? Will they eat people?

Absurd thoughts popped up in Qin Shi's mind one after another, and he looked down at his helmet again.

You know what, it does look like the Taoist talismans from ancient times.

I wanted to understand it more carefully, but Lin Yunqing was vague.

Qin Shi did not continue asking questions. After familiarizing himself with the operating procedures, he put on the gaming helmet connected to the computer.

The identification card, which represented a senior student majoring in psychic power at Qi Guangheng University, cut through the slot above the goggles with a "beep" sound.

"I'll create the persona for you."

Lin Yunqing didn't know how he entered the same virtual space as Qin Shi.

Then I excitedly scanned his body data, pinched his face, selected his clothes, and set his appearance special effects.

Half an hour later.

Qin Shi's sense of novelty from his first encounter with the virtual world completely faded away, leaving only sleepiness.

"Alright, alright! A new genius from the Qi Guangheng old martial arts school has emerged!"

A few minutes later, Lin Yunqing finally finished his work.

"Who are you, handsome man?"

Qin Shi opened up a third-party perspective to examine his outrageous appearance.

No, isn’t this long white hair too beautiful?

Why are there several pairs of large, glittering wings behind it?

Is a pitch-black robe that almost drags on the ground really suitable for fighting?
"If an outer sect disciple of Xinyi High School were to show off so much in a first-rate sect like Qiguang Hengda, he might attract some true disciples and step on his head!"

Qin Shi was speechless. He wasted so much time just to give him a look that resembled Sephiroth from "Final Fantasy".

Just keep this in mind for now!
Pay it back with a deliberate punch later!
"Wait, what the hell is this name?"

Qin Shi looked at the line of words on his head.

【Nine-day Thunder Double Kick】

"No time to talk, the battle room is activated!"

Faced with Qin Shi's increasingly dangerous eyes, Lin Yunqing felt very guilty and clicked to enter directly.

……

……

"Teacher Lin, you know, when I first met you, I thought you were very strong."

Qin Shi said softly while wearing Sephiroth's cool look.

"Are you implying that I'm a loser?"

Lin Yunqing was anxious.

"I'm very strong! I've been in the top ten of the department's combat power list!"

Qin Shi swiped through the menu interface and clicked on the personal information of the user named [Super Invincible Tyrannosaurus God of War].

[Battle Power Ranking of this Department: 8]

[School Combat Power Ranking: 89235]

[Rank: Tough Black Iron]

"Teacher Lin, I think your strength lies in the fact that you cannot be demoted from this level.

Qiguang Hengda has a total student population of less than 90,000, and you are almost at the bottom of the list."

Qin Shi almost couldn't hold it together. It turned out that Lin Yunqing, who claimed to be the top student of the new martial arts school, was a psychic rookie.

And it is the most difficult major, ancient history.

There are only thirty people in this unpopular major.

"I thought I would be facing a group of elite students from top universities, but I ended up facing a fish pond bureau."

Ignoring Lin Yunqing, who was anxious and whose face was already red, Qin Shi quietly switched to [Nine Heavens Thunder Double Kick] and then turned to the martial arts channel.

[Pei Tugou: Solo 1v1, the loser calls me daddy, those who are not convinced are welcome to play offline! ]

[Jiu Sanhu: I majored in "Titanium Body", and I seek the love of a strong man with strong power, fast attack speed and strong endurance! ]

[Xiao Xiao Wu Shu: Extreme Flow, "Electric Current Driven Path", here comes the military flow, begging for abuse. ]

"Is this the aura of a college student from a first-rate sect?"

Qin Shi browsed through the various speeches on the public channels while selecting from the numerous portals that looked like flickering lights and shadows.

"It's you!"

After a moment, his eyes settled.
