102: Chapter 102 Yun Zhuo: I'm a selfish person
"Hey, that kid Yun Zhuo is behind us."
Du Biao whispered beside Du Mingxing.
Du Mingxing glanced back. "Meeting him isn't as impressive as his reputation, but... what's his relationship with that woman next to him?"
"She's that kid's War Princess and girlfriend."
"She's very beautiful."
"You think so too? Did you know? He has another one exactly like her at home."
A look of realization suddenly appeared on Du Mingxing's Face. "I was wondering why she looked familiar. Is it Teacher Su?"
"Haven't you only been at school for a few days?" At this point, Du Biao's tone suddenly shifted. "It turns out you've just been acting serious on the surface. You've only been here a few days and you've already scouted out the school's beauties."
"They were eating at Cafeteria Number Sixty-Eight today. Some bored guys snapped quite a few photos."
"Really?"
"Can't you go look at the forum yourself?"
Du Mingxing had spoken bluntly since he was a child, and Du Biao was long used to it.
"Then why did you just ask?"
"I couldn't tell them apart, could I? Besides, are you sure she's Teacher Su?"
"It's her younger sister, Little Teacher Su. Her sister was that kid's high school teacher."
After saying that, he ignored Du Mingxing, opened his bracelet, and began scrolling through the campus forum for photos of Teacher Su and her sister.
Gong Qiong and Wu Wanyi also leaned in curiously.
The sight of the two sisters sitting together eating noodles, a mirror-like visual resonance, instantly captivated Du Biao's eyes.
"These twins look too much alike. Look, even the dimples at the corners of their mouths are identical."
"They couldn't be genetic clones, could they?"
"The Young Misses of the Su Family? How could they be clones?"
"I'm just joking. Haven't you noticed? One is left-handed and the other is right-handed. Sitting together, it's like looking in a mirror."
Du Mingxing unconsciously slowed his pace.
As Yun Zhuo and the others approached, he suddenly spoke: "Stop looking, the main character is coming."
On the path out, the two groups walked on opposite sides.
Gong Qiong and Wu Wanyi couldn't help but steal glances at Yun Zhuo. Their eyes instantly lit up like falling stars, and every look at Yun Zhuo carried an unhideable joy.
Du Mingxing suddenly cleared his throat: "Take me to the Task Management area to have a look. Just staying in the dorm to level up is boring. I want to earn some academic credits in advance."
"Now?" Du Biao asked in confusion.
"Yeah. Don't look at me just because I've just enrolled; C-rank tasks are already no problem for me."
"We can't go now."
"Why?"
"Don't you spend all day on the campus network? Don't you know it's already closed at this hour? If you want to take a task, you can do it directly on the campus app."
Du Mingxing frowned. He felt Du Biao was intentionally undermining him, but he had no proof.
Turning his head, he saw Yun Zhuo seemed to be laughing. "What are you laughing at?"
Yun Zhuo turned to look at Du Mingxing and pointed at himself in confusion.
Du Mingxing's mouth thinned into a cold, hard line. "Don't point. I'm talking about you."
"I'm laughing at a guy who's trying to act like a big shot but ended up making a fool of himself."
Du Biao snickered. Before Du Mingxing could demand an explanation, he quickly reminded him: "That kid just beat the level thirty Young Master Chen today."
"Wanyi, tell him how many people over level thirty we've dealt with."
"Five. One Gold Farmer, one mercenary, and three adventurers."
Yun Zhuo smiled and said, "Just now my wife was telling me that we're leveling up too fast and it might cause some combat power redundancy. She suggested I find someone to practice with. What, do you want to try?"
"Vulgar." Du Mingxing glared at Yun Zhuo. "Don't worry, there will be an opportunity. I'll make sure you're satisfied then."
After saying that, he glanced at Teacher Su, gave a very gentlemanly nod, and then led Du Biao's group to the left, parting ways with Yun Zhuo.
Yun Zhuo was puzzled—what did that nod to Teacher Su at the end mean? He acted like he was very familiar with her.
He turned back to look at Teacher Su.
"Do you know him?"
Teacher Su shook her head: "First time seeing him. I heard Du Biao call him Eighteenth Brother, so he should be a direct descendant of the Du Family."
"Teacher Su, you're making me a bit uncomfortable acting like this."
"What's wrong?"
"Relax a bit. We're not at No. 8 Middle School anymore."
"Pah~ keep dreaming. At most, I'll undo one more button for you."
As she spoke, Teacher Su's right hand moved to the third button and began to undo it.
Her V-neck was already open to the second button. If she undid another...
Wouldn't her 'bowls' fall out? Yun Zhuo looked at the third button with some anticipation, but then he grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Teacher Su said with a frown.
"Well, that's not what I meant."
"Are you sure?" Teacher Su laughed.
"Of course I'm sure. You naughty girl, you can twist any words into something dirty."
"Well, it's not that I'm being disobedient, okay? You're the one who refused."
"Hmph, let me tell you, I'm a very selfish person. Never mind sharing my things with others, I'll get angry if they even take a look. Don't make this kind of joke often, or don't blame me for not giving you Face then."
"I know, little master. You're so overbearing."
"Mischievous."
Yun Zhuo flicked her nose.
Teacher Su chuckled, leaned on Yun Zhuo's shoulder, and pointed forward: "Go, let's go buy syringes, big ones."
"What are we buying those for?"
"Hehe, you'll find out then."
It was already night when the two returned. The Elder Teacher Su was sitting alone in the living room, quietly reading a book.
The e-book on the holographic screen emitted a soft light, half falling on her serene Face and half reflecting on her glasses, creating two faint pools of light.
Hearing the door open, she instinctively looked up and pushed her glasses up.
"You're back?"
As soon as Little Teacher Su changed her shoes, she was like an unbridled wild horse, quickly running to sit beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, and leaning in to look at the holographic screen.
"What are you reading?"
"Some teaching materials." Saying that, she naturally turned off the holographic screen and looked back at Little Teacher Su. "There's something I want to tell you both."
"What is it?" Little Teacher Su looked puzzled.
Yun Zhuo walked over, saw the glasses on her nose, and joked: "A long-range War Princess is actually nearsighted? Did I get a bad deal this time?"
"Ah?" The Elder Teacher Su paused for a moment. "It doesn't affect anything."
Saying that, she took out five crystal cards. "These are the Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques I chose. I picked them out a long time ago, but since I hadn't contracted a War Spirit Master, I couldn't load them."
"Load?"
"Mm-hmm. A War Princess cannot Cultivate Martial Skills on her own. As a wingman, I have to use Martial Skills. In this case, the War Spirit Master needs to learn them first and then load them into my brain through mental sharing."
"I see. How do we load them?"
"Ah? Oh, mental sharing is automatically generated after transformation. Then we use purple essence stones; a single load is permanently effective. If I need to forget these Martial Skills, they can also be deleted using purple essence stones."
Yun Zhuo picked up the crystal cards and began looking at them.
