Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Are you trying to kill Xin Zhi Cheng, and kill our Thousand Faces family?!

"Do you think they'll let us go if we just blindly obey them, flatter them, and fawn over them?"

Do you know how many exchange students Karentia sent this year?

Ten!

Haha, a whole ten!

This is an attempt to wipe us out!

We've backed down, we've been tolerant, but what good has it done?

This time, I will not back down!!!

"Incomprehensible! If you're going crazy, don't drag the Thousand Faces family into it!"

With a roar, Qianmian Zhengheng turned to Adele, instantly switching to a servile demeanor, his face plastered with obsequiousness as he tried to defend himself.

Adele saw that Senmaku Masahiro wanted to improve, so she narrowed her eyes and said very understandingly:

"We're giving you, the Thousand Faces Family, a chance to redeem yourselves."

"I'll handle this woman. You go and retrieve the mythological fragments."

Upon hearing this, Senmyoji was overjoyed and nodded hastily. Then, looking at Saki, his obsequious face immediately turned ferocious again.

"Su Shi! Hand over the fragments of the Isolde family mythology right now!"

"Stupid."

Seeing that "Su Shi," who was previously considered obedient in the family, actually dared to treat his uncle like this.

Qianmian Zhengheng was almost furious!

Wow, you've really made something of yourself! You even dare to call your uncle an idiot?!

Qianmian Zhengheng immediately looked at the crowd in the distance and called out several more names.

The Echoers of the Thousand Faces family, whose names were called, looked at each other and swam forward.

They never imagined that one day they would have to help outsiders fight against their own people...

For a moment, they all seemed a little hesitant.

However, under Qianmian Zhengheng's repeated urging, they could only grit their teeth and surround Qiji.

Adele watched this scene with immense satisfaction!

The thrill of overwhelming others with power is something that cannot be achieved through mere physical force.

"Little mermaid, how about it? Are you still going to struggle?"

There are so many of us, but there's only one of you.

While Adele was speaking, more Echoers from the Isolde family arrived from all directions, tightening the encirclement over the area.

Teacher Jing took a deep breath.

Just as she was preparing to fight alone—

"Teacher Jing! I'm here to help you!"

"Teacher Jing! Count me in!"

"Haha, aren't you going to invite me to the class reunion?"

One by one, Echoers from the City of Fire swam up from the crowd.

Among them was a fifth-order echoer who had just arrived, two fourth-order echoers, and a dozen or so third-order echoers.

That fifth-order echoer was named He Shang.

Seven years ago, in the Tide Competition, he, who was among the top three in his grade, was defeated by an "exchange student" from Kalentia.

They missed out on a spot at the Secret Realm Ruins.

During those seven years, he felt resentful every time he thought about it.

Now, he wants to win back a victory for himself from seven years ago!

Looking at the figures that had suddenly gathered around her, Ms. Jing, being a sentimental person, suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

She sniffed and said to Qi Ji behind her:

“Su Shi, they are all your seniors from previous years.”

As he watched the figures swimming towards him, Saki's heart was filled with emotion.

He took a deep breath and thanked everyone.

Words cannot express his feelings at this moment.

It was at this moment that a thought suddenly flashed through Qi Ji's mind—

He knew that the City of Fire would be destroyed in three years.

But the City of Firewood...

Is destruction truly inevitable?

……

"Please be the hope of the City of Fire, please bring miracles to the City of Fire, I beg you!"

Teacher Jing's voice suddenly rang in Qi Ji's ears.

The next instant, a gentle yet immense force suddenly surged forth!

Teacher Jing's figure grew several times larger, and her blue fishtail patted Qi Ji's back.

In an instant, Qi Ji's entire body shot straight into the sky like an arrow released from a bow!

At the same time, Teacher Jing and a group of senior students from Echo Academy put on their armor!

The battle is imminent!

……

The sounds of various collisions echoed from behind.

Saki, who had been sent into the air, stared intently at the system interface.

On the minimap, the green dots representing teammates disappear one by one.

The last one to disappear was [the Mermaid], Cheng Jing.

[Ding! Miracle Ship upgrade complete!]

Five minutes, just right.

Cheng Jing did her best.

Although she couldn't hold on for even a second longer, she had kept her promise to her students.

Miracle Lv2

[Load Capacity: 1/5]

Speed: E

[Defense: E]

[Repair: E]

[Skills: Nitrogen Boost (I), Protective Shield (I)]

[Requirements for upgrading to Lv3: 1000 building materials, 3 gold shards]

Having dealt with the troublesome Citadel of Sinners, Adele, along with the Echoers from the Isolde family who had arrived one after another, was about to give chase.

However, the next second, she saw a scene that left her speechless—

Just as Qi Ji was about to fall back into the sea, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth from beneath him, having been flung far away by Cheng Jing.

The next moment, a silver-white light jet yacht appeared out of thin air!

From afar, a deep and powerful roar suddenly came!

The yacht launched itself into the air!

A straight white trail of water was left on the surface of the fog, and the air currents on both sides tore apart the thick fog in the sea of ​​consciousness!

"Go eat shit, Isolde!"

The last thing Adele heard was that little fox giving her the middle finger and uttering this extremely vulgar and obscene word!

"!!!"

Enraged, Adele immediately disregarded everything and unleashed her true power once again, transforming into a shark!

However, no matter how frantically she chased after it, she could only helplessly watch the yacht sail further and further away.

……

Lv2 [Miracle], with triple speed buff!

Combined with the [Nitro Boost] activated by Qi Ji gritting his teeth and stuffing in an epic-level fragment—

This caused Qi Ji to unleash an unparalleled speed in his sea of ​​consciousness for a moment!

Even a fifth-tier Echoer who had activated the [True Understanding of Armor] could only watch helplessly as he patted his behind and left.

Having escaped the encirclement, Qi Ji breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then, when I came to my senses, I felt a pang of regret for that epic fragment.

【Nitro Boost】 will provide different levels of burst acceleration depending on the quality of the inserted fragments.

Just now, to be on the safe side, Qi Ji gritted his teeth and went straight for the best purple color besides red and gold!

Now that they had temporarily escaped the encirclement, they immediately stopped using their skills, feeling a pang of regret.

After checking the panel, I saw that the remaining energy of this purple fragment could probably provide two and a half minutes of burst damage.

Use sparingly, use sparingly!

As he watched the large number of red dots on the minimap gradually recede into the distance, Qi Ji felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, he was faced with an even bigger problem:

He is safe for the time being, but how do he evacuate?

If Isolde's men realize they can't catch him, they'll definitely try to ambush him at the evacuation point.

Just as Saki had predicted—

As Adele watched the red beam of light, represented by Saki, disappear further and further away, she immediately abandoned the idea of ​​chasing after it.

"Go and block the evacuation point!"

There are only two mythological evacuation points currently marked in the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

He has stayed in the Sea of ​​Consciousness long enough; it's almost time for him to be expelled!

He's the one who's in a hurry now!

The advantage lies with us!

Adele's insightful opinion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

The Silent Catcher Squad immediately split into two groups, each heading to a mythical evacuation point to ambush.

Time is on Isolde's side!

As time goes by, new echoes from the Isolde family continue to log in and gather.

Later on, there was even an overabundance of manpower.

In addition to holding the evacuation point, two more small teams were formed to continue chasing Qi Ji.

However, Saki has an upgraded yacht, and things are not the same as before.

It's no longer that dilapidated little boat that was being chased and forced to flee everywhere!

The team that hunted Qi Ji worked tirelessly for half a day, but in the end, not a single one of them managed to catch him.

Keep in mind that among these people are quite a few fifth-order Echoers!

But who knows what that guy wearing the fox mask is?
