Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone gradually became sharper.

"I see all of Mei's efforts."

"Bronya will definitely not have any problems either."

"It's just that right now, Kiana, you... are likely to fail in terms of cultural skills."

"You don't believe me——!?"

Kiana frowned and puffed up her mouth like a frightened pufferfish.

"Of course, and I don't believe it at all."

Jiang Ming's tone was blunt.

"The world is changing all the time. Even I can't guarantee what will happen in the next second. If you, Kiana, fail in this aspect... Principal Theresa will most likely use this to prevent you from being promoted, and she won't tell you where Mr. Siegfried is."

Jiang Ming didn’t know what would have happened if he hadn’t come to this world. Would Mei and Bronya have helped her with her studies?

Or is it that as Kiana's aunt, she secretly opened a small back door for her?

Or, if she really fails the test, will she be refused permission to become a B-rank Valkyrie?

No, there must be no problem with the battle, so the biggest possibility is that Theresa should give Kiana a make-up exam in literature...

"Ah! How can this be possible!"

Kiana couldn't help but scream, which even attracted all kinds of attention. Mei and Bronya both signaled her to speak more quietly.

"Look, you know your level. It's not okay to keep acting like it's no big deal. We can't afford any mistakes, especially in combat."

"Well......"

It seemed impossible to refute, and Kiana tried to attack Jiang Ming with her eyes while sipping juice.

Faced with this fierce look, Jiang Ming could not help but smile bitterly and raise his hands in surrender.

"Okay, okay. Actually, I just want to tell you not to let your guard down in this regard. I will find a way to help you with the written test."

"The B-rank Valkyrie will be fighting Honkai head-on, so I think the exam content is that Kiana will only be responsible for protecting us during the battle."

"Hehe, that's pretty good."

"You, you..."

Jiang Ming smiled and was about to take a sip of coffee, but Bronya asked a question at this time.

"Jiang Ming, how strong are you now?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Ming, who had just put his mouth close to the cup, suddenly trembled. He slowly raised his head and looked at Bronya, his eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but then he quickly relaxed and asked with a chuckle.

"What's wrong? I'm suddenly curious about this."

"Nothing, I just feel that your strength seems to have improved a little too quickly, Jiang Ming. After all, not long ago you defeated 150,000... Honkai beasts by yourself."

When talking about Honkaimon, Bronya lowered her voice on purpose so that the guests sitting nearby would not hear.

"Although it's not an exaggeration to say that this kind of performance is S-level, but...Jiang Ming, you obviously spend a large part of the day with us. When we train, you also practice, and when we study, you also study, and the content is exactly the same."

"But...how on earth did you achieve such a huge improvement?"

"..."

"That's right! Because we all study the same thing, why are you so outstanding?"

Kiana also reacted after hearing this. Her sky-blue eyes widened and she stared at Jiang Ming closely, trying to get the answer about becoming stronger from him.

Although she is a little arrogant, she is not the kind of person who brags. If she were to face those 150,000 Honkai beasts, the first thing she would probably think of would be to run away.

Even Mei was no exception. After all, she was horrified by the two and a half hours of battle, and Jiang Ming only killed more than 50,000 of them in those two hours.

Any normal person can see that Jiang Ming dealt with the remaining 100,000 or so in the remaining half hour. This can no longer be explained by a miracle, it is simply a perversion!

"Um......"

Jiang Ming put his hand on his chin and pondered. From his current point of view, it’s not that he doesn’t want to tell them, but he doesn’t know how to express it. He can’t just tell them directly: "Actually, I have a system, which is the main reason that helps me become stronger." right?

Although I talked about this with Mei in Changzora City a year ago, I don't know if she still remembers it now. But what I said at that time was just some voices in my mind that would come from time to time and give me options. But before I could finish, I was interrupted by Mei's look that looked like a fool.

[Ahem, host, you can tell them this later...]

After the system reminded Jiang Ming in his mind, Jiang Ming explained to them.

"Well... Actually, my true strength is far more than this. It's just that I was severely injured earlier, and now I'm just in the recovery stage."

After saying this, Jiang Ming carefully observed the expressions of the three people, but in his heart he hoped that they could treat this as a joke.

"Wow! Who is that person who could injure you so badly?"

"Won't it leave hidden diseases?"

"Bronya understands."

Eh...? Did you really believe it?

"You...don't you have any doubts? I myself find this a little bit mysterious. It's like a top-level expert was killed and had no choice but to descend to the mortal world, recovering from his injuries while looking for an opportunity for revenge!"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown slightly, and with a wry smile he glanced at the three of them one by one.

"If you put it that way...it seems so, but it doesn't matter."

Kiana smiled indifferently and waved her hand.

"After all, no matter how much you lie to us, Jiang Ming, you will never hurt us. Even if you hurt us at some point, it must be for our own good and it is necessary!"

"That's too absolute, I don't think I'm a good person, okay?"

"Ha—? You really dare! If you really do that, I will be the first one to kick you in the face!"

"Please don't wear socks, thank you."

Mei and Bronya just watched the two of them simply bickering with each other as they did in their daily lives. Although it was called a bickering, in reality it was Jiang Ming who was in control of the situation and was just playing Kiana around. What's more important was that the stupid Kiana couldn't see it at all.

[You seem to be very concerned about this matter.]

"Well... because Ming told me a year ago in Changkong City that he also has a consciousness inside him..."

[Do you think that consciousness is helping him become stronger? ]

[Are you still worried that this kind of strength comes at a price? Do you think that consciousness has ill intentions? ]

'......Um.'

[Hehe, then you don’t have to worry—]

The Herrscher of Thunder signaled Mei to relax, and his tone was slightly proud.

"Huh? Why...why?"

[Have you ever seen a simulated training room at 4am? ]

"Four o'clock in the morning? How could I have seen that? Is it true that someone would choose to train at that time? Even the squad leader can't do that, right?"

Mei was very surprised, and subconsciously thought that this was impossible, but she also considered that since the Herrscher of Thunder had proposed it, that meant...

[Isn't that guy right next to you? From Monday to Friday, this guy arrives at the simulation training room at 4 a.m. and trains until you are about to get up, so he can only rest well on Sundays.]

[This is why he spends almost 90% of his time with you on weekends]

[I really don’t know why he is so obsessed with 4 a.m....]

In Mei's inner world, everything around her was dark, with only one small spot of light.

And in that bright spot, a girl who looked very similar to Mei was lying lazily on the sofa in a very charming posture.

The thin nightgown could not hide her proud figure at all, and her long dark hair was even longer than that of Mei in real life.

An aura of majesty and inviolability emanates from the queen at all times, but the only thing that can demonstrate her queenly demeanor is probably her strong tone and aura.

The Herrscher of Thunder yawned out of boredom, and this simple action was performed with extreme elegance by the Queen.

[In short, I think he always gets up earlier and goes to bed later in order to protect you. This has been the case for the whole year.]

[Based on this alone, it is definitely not the consciousness in his body that is helping him, so just relax.]

【As for that consciousness...】

[All we can do now is to trust him, right? ]

Chapter 136 It doesn’t matter, I will take action

"Ming......"

Mei stared at the profile of her lover beside her in a trance, and when she thought about it carefully, it was true.

From Monday to Friday, when Ji Zi was teaching them cultural lessons, Jiang Ming would stay in the simulation training room. And when they went to class, Jiang Ming would watch them train like a big idler.

Although he would be pulled away by Kiana sometimes, he usually acted too relaxed, so relaxed that others thought he had never worked hard at all and was simply a genius with great talent.

"We must... investigate thoroughly."

After secretly making up her mind, Mei decided to pick a suitable time to investigate how Jiang Ming usually trained. Also, would such a training method really not ruin the body?

"...Yi...Mei...?"

Hearing someone calling her, Mei, who was still in her inner world, suddenly woke up. She came to her senses and looked around, and found that Kiana and Bronya were looking at her with worried eyes.

“Ah…! What…what happened?”

Mei smiled awkwardly and looked at Kiana.

"Meiyi, what are you talking about? You were in a daze the whole time. No matter how I called you, you didn't respond. You kept staring at Jiang Ming..."

"Idiot Kiana was so angry that she almost attacked me? Mei-sister."

"No matter what I do, I can't be that rude!"

"If it's the stupid Kiana, then it's very likely."

Kiana and Bronya started a new round of bickering, while Jiang Ming slowly approached Mei, held her left hand with his right hand and interlocked their fingers, and asked softly.

"Did she say something to you?"

Mei certainly knew who this "she" was referring to, but if she said it out loud she might be asked what they were talking about just now.

Because Mei and the Herrscher of Thunder in her body had already formed a united front, but in Jiang Ming's eyes they might still be fighting for control of the body, so if he said it out loud, his subsequent plans would be interrupted.

Thinking of this, Mei shook her head gently, made a negative sound in her throat, and then smiled and said softly.

"Yeah~, it's just that Mei thought Ming was so cute today, so I couldn't help but look at him a few more times."

"cough......?!"

The lethality of this attack is indeed powerful. The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart.

If a boy said such words to a girl, it might be taken for granted, and it would be understandable that the girl would blush in the end.

But if a girl said this to a boy, the value of her words would be far greater than the former.

What's more, the girl in front of him had a blushing face, a smile on her face, and a hint of playfulness in her gentle tone.

The effect was obvious. Jiang Ming's heartbeat accelerated rapidly and his cheeks turned a little red. It was the first time that Meiyi saw her lover like this, and she couldn't help but feel playful.

The next second, the left hand that was originally gently held by Jiang Ming turned around and held Jiang Ming's right hand, and quickly placed it on the inside of her thigh. At the same time, her right hand also joined in, controlling Jiang Ming to gently knead herself.

"Well...!"

Originally, Jiang Ming planned to turn a blind eye to the situation, but now Mei is taking more initiative than before.

Feeling the touch on his right hand, Jiang Ming didn't want to get away from it at all. Under Jiang Ming's training, or perhaps it was because Meiyi was a Herrscher, the added two kilograms could not be seen as any changes in Meiyi's body. One could only feel it by doing it personally.

The tight muscles on the thighs were now softer, but that was not all. Meiyi gently stroked Jiang Ming's right hand with both hands, letting him feel her smoothness. Looking at her lover closing his eyes and looking embarrassed, she felt extremely satisfied in her heart.

"What's wrong, Ming? Do you like Mei's body?"

Mei put her mouth close to Jiang Ming's ear and stimulated him with her hoarse voice. Jiang Ming's body seemed to be electrocuted and he couldn't help shivering. Just when Mei wanted to go further...

"Hello! This is your limited edition Homo Homo set meal!"

A lively girl in work clothes came to them with their meal.

"—?!"
