Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

I had just reached the roadside when an SUV honked its horn beside me.

The driver's side window rolled down, revealing a beautiful face—

Princess cut hairstyle, beauty mark under left eye.

It was the girl who had told him how to get to the exam venue.

The girl leaned against the car window and said, "Zuo Chang, congratulations. You did very well, exceeding my expectations."

Zuo Chang immediately understood: "You were also in the examination room just now? In the stands?"

"My name is Mayumi."

Mayumi did not get off the train.

She extended her palm, revealing a seemingly aloof smile: "It's the deputy leader of the Deer Morning Regiment."

Generally speaking, inviting someone to shake hands is a way to express goodwill.

but……

The woman in front of me named Mayumi is definitely not a kind person.

With her chin raised and lips curled into a smile, she exuded an air of domineering nobility. Instead of feeling any sincerity from her, Zuo Chang felt that she was "bestowing a reward" or "showing pity."

At first, Zuo Chang thought it might be due to her temperament.

Ms. Mayumi has striking features and an outstanding demeanor; she may have been born unapproachable.

But then I thought about it——

It would be strange if she didn't feel any sincerity; she didn't even want to get out of the car!

How can you expect people to have a good impression of someone just sitting in a car?

Zuo Chang glanced at her and said, "My name is Zuo Chang."

"Oh? Aren't you going to shake my hand? As you can see, I'm very beautiful, and not everyone can win my favor."

"Your noble bearing is overwhelming; I dare not presume to presume upon it."

Mayumi chuckled and said, "You have a clear understanding of yourself, and that clarity is your asset; you will benefit from it. However, Mr. Zuo, I don't think 'lacking self-awareness' is a flaw. Why don't you try to curry favor with me? Maybe... in the end, it will be a clumsy stray dog ​​clinging to me."

Zuo Chang was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Say something.

Zuo Chang considered himself a gentle person who could chat with anyone.

but……

This was the first time he had ever met such an arrogant person.

Who are you referring to as a stray dog?

He shook his head, thinking that less talk meant fewer mistakes, and silence meant no mistakes, and walked away.

The SUV started, and Zhen Gong gave it a little throttle, always following Zuo Chang.

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other against the car window, she said, "No woman likes a docile man. I have absolutely no liking for harmless males. I suspect they've been castrated, otherwise why wouldn't they be aggressive at all?"

Zuo Chang glanced sideways: "What are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is—stop pretending. You definitely want me to be your possession. Come on, show me your favor, attack me, possess me, fill me, and dominate me. Show me your charm and desire as much as possible. You have the right to enter. I'll be watching you."

Zuo Chang looked at Zhen Gong in horror.

Mayumi didn't think she had said anything wrong. Her face was calm, and her smile was arrogant: "Don't be afraid of failure. You may end up with nothing because I am not cheap."

Zuo Chang, stop in your tracks.

Makoto stepped on the brakes.

Amidst the engine's vibrations, Zuo Chang spoke: "People climb mountains because their height is undeniable; people pursue fame and fortune because their allure is intoxicating. Ms. Mayumi, what about you? Give me a reason to please you."

"You're completely blind! Can't you see my splendor?"

"Your beauty is not unique."

Mayumi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, seemingly somewhat surprised.

She wasn't angry; she just smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zuo Chang replied, "Heavenly King City."

"Going to the Heavenly King's City by carriage takes two days and two nights; taking my carriage will take at most half a day. I can take you there."

"..."

Zuo Chang wanted to refuse!

I wanted to tell her, "NO! Fuck you!"

I wanted to tell her what it means to be unmoved by poverty and hardship!

but……

The thought of traveling by carriage for two days and two nights made him waver.

Mayumi took sunglasses out of the glove box and put them on: "I didn't bring them specifically for you. The headquarters of Deer Morning is in Tennojo Castle. I was on my way home and brought them to you."

Zuo Chang smiled and said, "Makoto, you look much better in sunglasses. You look really cool."

"……snort."

Zuo Chang walked around to the passenger seat, and just as he was about to get in the car, two people suddenly walked over.

One male and one female.

The man was handsome and dashing.

female……

The woman was alright, but compared to Mayumi and Lychee, she was noticeably inferior.

They seemed to know Zuo Chang. The man had a gentle smile on his face and asked, "Mr. Zuo, would you like to ride in our car?"

Zuo Chang, half guessing and half guessing, asked, "Are you the leader of the Deer Expeditionary Corps at Dawn?"

"Yes! My name is Lu Zheng, and this is the bunny girl."

Hello, Mr. Zuo!

The bunny girl greeted us with a friendly smile.

Zuo Chang said, "Commander Lu is indeed a man of exceptional talent! His appearance is truly astonishing, so handsome, so incredibly handsome!"

Lu Zheng raised his hand and shook his head: "Mr. Zuo, you flatter me."

"I'm going back to Tenno-jo Castle. If Miss Mayumi is willing to give me a ride, then... I'll gladly accept."

"I see! Mr. Zuo is from Tianwang City? Please get in the car!"

The three got into the car, with Zuo Chang sitting in the passenger seat.

Lu Zhengren is handsome, but he has no arrogance.

During conversations, he looks sincerely into the other person's eyes, and his tone and word choice are very humble, which easily makes people feel good about him.

Zuo Chang had a very good first impression of him, and their conversation was quite pleasant.

Lu Zheng said, "Mr. Zuo, would you like to join our group? Your skills are very strong. It would be great if you were willing to join!"

Zuo Chang did not agree: "Well... to be honest, I haven't decided whether or not I want to go on an adventure in the dungeon."

"Oh……"

Lu Zheng had no suspicions. He handed over his business card and said, "Mr. Zuo, with your qualifications, it's not a matter of whether you can or not; you'll be respected wherever you go. This is my business card. If you're interested in joining us, just come and find me. If you want to join another group but don't know anything about them, you can also come and find me, and I'll give you some advice."

Zuo Chang accepted it: "Thank you."

The bunny girl smiled innocently and said, "Brother Zuo Chang is really amazing! Everyone was amazed by your skills! Ah—speaking of which, Sister Mayumi initially called you a piece of trash and said some really nasty things! But it turns out she misjudged you."

Zuo Chang's smile froze, and Lu Zheng was slightly taken aback, instantly creating an awkward atmosphere in the car.

This……

Where does this inferior tea flavor come from? And what is the reason for it?

Chapter 33 She is really good at it

Although this matter seems to be related to him, he is the one who is being called useless.

But Zuo Chang felt that it was better to remain silent for now.

Lu Zheng squeezed the bunny girl's small hand and quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "Mr. Zuo, that's not what Mayumi meant, she..."

That's exactly what I meant. The literal meaning.

Mayumi spoke.

As she drove, she glanced at Zuo Chang and said, "There's nothing to deny. Zuo Chang, at first I thought you were shallow and ignorant, like a fool. A mere cultivator at the first level participating in the elite soldier assessment? Who do you think you are?"

Zuo Changqiang chuckled and said, "Uh... Miss Mayumi's idea is a bit extreme, but it's understandable! Commander Lu, I myself am not confident either. I'm just here to try my luck, haha."

"Having self-awareness is a kind of wealth..."

Mayumi stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

She glanced at Zuo Chang and said, "I've already said this to you. Zuo Chang, we've only exchanged a few words, and this is the second time I've felt that you have self-awareness. I like your clarity of mind."

Zuo Chang nodded haphazardly without saying a word.

The bunny girl seemed oblivious to the awkward atmosphere and continued, "I've said it before, Mayumi-nee is too arrogant. She always thinks others are inferior to her and doesn't know what respect is. Mayumi-nee, you need to learn to be humble. Look at Shika-nii, he comes from a better background and is stronger than you, but he is very humble."

Mayumi said calmly, "Arrogance and rudeness are my true nature. Zuo Chang, you'll have to get used to my sharp edges; I won't change."

Zuo Chang really wanted to ask: Who are you?!

This morning, the deer...

What kind of adventure group is this?!

The deputy commander is a blindly arrogant man who seems to be mentally ill. I wonder what position this bunny girl holds. She can come and go with the commander and deputy commander, so she must be of high status, right?

But she was surprisingly manipulative.
