I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Mo Sheng was stunned for a moment. Who could be Yan Ziming's teacher? There are only a handful of eighth-level lightning ability users in the world, and there are no ninth-level ones yet. This is the same as spatial ability. Who could teach her?

Then she remembered what Yan Shan had told her a few months ago: Yan Zimo did indeed have a teacher, the Soul Heaven Realm super expert who killed the God of Death in Yongjing.

And this super powerful being actually appeared right in front of him?

"Just call me Fairy."

When Liu Mengxian spoke, her words flowed like a gentle spring through his heart, and Mo Sheng felt a slight tremor in his body.

"Okay, Miss Xian'er, you've come here for...?"

"To broaden one's horizons."

The answer was concise, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

"To broaden her horizons...?" Mo Sheng repeated in a low voice. According to the speculation of several pillars of China, she was a person from at least a long time ago and had seen more of the world than all of them combined. What was there to see?

Ye Qianxue leaned closer and whispered something in Mo Sheng's ear:

"Sister Mo Sheng, let me tell you, Sister Xian'er is so clumsy! No matter how I try to teach her how to use a mobile phone, she just can't get it right!"

"what?"

Mo Sheng suddenly realized that this was what it meant to be worldly-wise.

Perhaps it was her detachment from worldly affairs that made her so curious about the present, after all, the evolution of Earth in the last two hundred years was greater than that of the previous thousands of years combined, with three industrial revolutions alone, a truly dramatic transformation.

"And let me tell you, Xian'er, she..."

“I can hear you,” Liu Mengxian said softly.

"..." Ye Qianxue fell silent. With Liu Mengxian's cultivation level, it was probably no use no matter how softly she spoke; she could still hear everything clearly.

"Ahem, let me explain why I'm here now. You should go over there quickly."

Mo Sheng walked up to the group of contestants and said loudly:

"From today onwards, your performance in the Civilization Cup represents the Bei'an Military Administrative Region. I don't want to emphasize discipline too much. I believe you understand what is right and wrong. Remember, in any country or region, you cannot do anything that damages the face of China, not even a little bit, because you represent China!"

"Yes!" The shouts of the thirty-odd geniuses with superpowers actually drowned out the shouts of the hundreds of Chinese soldiers who were training in the neighboring military camp.

They were a mixed group of men and women, with men making up the majority. Their strength was generally above the fifth rank. Mo Sheng didn't expect some of them to achieve good rankings; he just wanted them to see the scene of such an international event.

Of course, it would be best if you could gain insights or make breakthroughs from battles with others.

Having received assurances from the participants, Mo Sheng continued:

"You should have all read the rules carefully. You must remember some of the important points. Don't accidentally break the rules and get eliminated. Doing so will not only make you lose face, but also make the country lose face!"

"Hey, Qianxue, have you read the rules?" Yan Ziming suddenly asked.

"No, what about you, Big Sister?"

"No."

Qin Di stared at the two of them speechlessly. He was still shocked by the scene where Mo Sheng addressed Liu Mengxian as "Your Majesty," and couldn't say anything to complain for the time being.

"What's wrong with you two sisters! Didn't you even read the competition rules?"

Mo Xin and Tian Tian were scolding her from the side, but Yan Zi Mo glared back: "Did you two just watch it?"

"no!"

"Don't be so proud of yourselves!" Yan Ziming couldn't help but complain.

As a result, none of them had ever read the rules of the competition, which was incredibly embarrassing to admit.

Mo Sheng glanced at Yan Ziming's group, which was a little noisy, wondering what they were arguing about. They were probably discussing their experiences with the rules.

Nodding slightly with a hint of relief, Mo Sheng continued:

"The second thing is that those who have already found partners for the doubles competition should come here to register."

Karma?

Doubles?

Is this mentioned in the rules?

Yan Ziming stated that she was completely unaware of the situation.

But who cares! Anyway, Yan Ziming only planned to participate in the individual competition, so it's impossible for her to have more opportunities to appear.

"The doubles competition...whoever wants to go can go, right?" Yan Ziming said indifferently.

“Yes!” Ye Qianxue and Tiantian nodded repeatedly.

"Huh, it seems like one reply is missing. Where is Mo Xin?"

Swish-

"I've filled out the form, Sister Mo Sheng," Mo Xin said sweetly, handing the form to Mo Sheng.

"Once it's decided, it can't be changed. Have you made up your mind?"

Mo Sheng glanced down at the audience in surprise. She hadn't expected her to be so proactive. She had even considered trying to persuade her again.

"Yes." Mo Xin nodded affirmatively.

Yan Ziming suddenly sensed a malice directed at him. Mo Sheng had been looking at him, not at anything else, and her gaze held a hint of satisfaction.

"Mo Xin, you're going to participate in the doubles competition? Who are you going to compete against? I'll crush him!" Yan Ziming said angrily.

"Are you going to destroy yourself?" Mo Xin jumped onto her back with a grin, her teasing intent very obvious.

"Ah—!!! Xin'er, you're so cunning! It must have been Qianxue and my older sister together!"

Ye Qianxue suddenly yelled, grabbing Mo Xin's face unwillingly and glaring at her fiercely. Mo Xin smiled like a little devil and imitated the younger sister in the anime she watched with Ye Qianxue, saying:

"Qian Xue Ou, nip, sa, ma~~ just let the Mo Xin Council have it~~"

"O-O-Nie-Sama?!" Ye Qianxue staggered back a few steps as if she had been shot, losing herself in Mo Xin's "O-Nie-Sama" address.

"Hey, what's my opinion?" Yan Ziming asked with a dark face. She had been tricked by Mo Xin this time. She was dragged onto the stage of the doubles competition for no reason. Didn't she want enough attention?

"Oni sa ma~~"

"Ee--" Yan Ziming twitched cleverly. Mo Xin's coquettishness was truly captivating, comparable to Ye Qianxue's.

"I..."

Just as Yan Ziming was about to say something to decline, Mo Sheng dragged him into another abyss.

"Now that you're all gathered together, you're a team from now on. You need to consider whether you'll cause trouble for others in everything you do. We've discussed this matter carefully, and we've decided that she will be your team leader!"

Mo Sheng pointed to Yan Ziming standing at the back of the crowd and said this.

"what?!!!"

Chapter Fifteen: Questioning

Putting aside other people's reactions, Yan Ziming himself was taken aback. Was it really okay to entrust her with such an important responsibility?

So this is what Mo Sheng meant when she said "strive for their approval"—it was all premeditated!

The title of team leader sounds like a troublesome job, something that Yan Ziming, who dreams of being a lazy bum, has no chance of getting involved in.

This is a major characteristic of today's young people—they are afraid of trouble.

Throughout his elementary, middle, high school, and even university years, whenever teachers asked who in the class wanted to be class monitor or subject representative or some other random position, he was always one of the few who disliked it the most. No matter what position others assigned to him, he would always refuse and try to avoid it no matter what.

Now that she's in this mess, her first thought is to refuse.

However, before she could even refuse, some people had already begun to question her stance.

"Senior Mo Sheng, is there some reason for making such a little girl our team leader?"

A young man who looked to be around twenty-eight years old asked the question.

He appeared to be asking a question, but his words were actually a challenge; he only refrained from directly expressing his opposition because of Mo Sheng's status.

He admired Yan Ziming, but there were some fundamental principles that he could not change.

—It was simply unacceptable for him, a man of great male chauvinism, to have such a little girl riding on top of them and pointing fingers at them.

"Zhang He, are you questioning my decision?" Mo Sheng's expression hardened as she pressed him for an answer.

"No, no, I just want a reason. Are you sure there won't be any problems if such a young girl becomes a leader?"

The man named Zhang He felt the pressure and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Yes, he has a point..." "No matter what, that little girl is too young." "So young, does she really have the ability to handle emergencies?"

His words caused everyone below to start whispering, saying things like how young Yan Ziming was and how he didn't have the abilities a team leader should have.

Yan Ziming, who was involved in the matter, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with their discussion.

[Oh right...you guys are right, I'm definitely not cut out to be a team leader. Make your refusal even more forceful!]

While secretly pleased, she reached out and stopped Ye Qianxue, who wanted to argue with them. She couldn't stand outsiders looking down on Yan Ziming and would definitely argue with him to the end, so Yan Ziming stopped her in advance.

"Master Mo, is it really okay if you don't say anything?" Tian Tian asked in a low voice.

"What are you saying? I never wanted to be the captain, it's too much trouble! Their reaction is exactly what I wanted."

"But what if Senior Mo Sheng really lets you pass, and then you refuse? Wouldn't that be like slapping her in the face?"
