88: "Explosive Boy"

That person: ???

“No, did you break it, or am I not fully awake?”

“Didn’t they say the College Entrance Examination equipment was top-notch? How could this happen! Do I have to pay for this myself?”

Li Wen grumbled to himself, full of irritation.

It was only after much deliberation that he decided to send Qingyan to participate in this exam.

After all, if he sent Bud Treasure or Yuan King, their super-long sword qi and materialized domineering aura would be too eye-catching.

However, what he never expected was that Qingyan seemed to have completely misunderstood the signal he gave.

He had clearly instructed it to just perform well, but this guy actually went all out right from the start!

Originally, it would have been enough to just use ordinary Insect Silk to control the level to just over a thousand, and even if it attracted attention from others, it would only be a small portion of people at most.

But now, it was good; it actually broke the machine directly, and it would be as hard as ascending to heaven to avoid attracting attention now.

Just then, “So it was you, kid, causing trouble here. I was wondering who was behind this; if it’s you, then it makes sense.”

As these words came, after receiving news that someone had broken the machine, a group of mayors immediately rushed over to handle the emergency.

When Li Wen first heard the first half of the sentence, a glimmer of hope sparked in his heart, thinking someone was finally coming to help him out.

Unexpectedly, the second half was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly extinguishing his last bit of hope.

“It was indeed me; nothing will happen, right…?”

Li Wen looked at the familiar figure in front of him—the Tianlan City Mayor—with a somewhat awkward expression.

He admitted sheepishly, secretly praying for “lenient treatment.”

The Tianlan City Mayor, with a slight smile, looked to be in an exceptionally good mood. He waved his hand and said with a laugh.

“Haha, it’s fine, it’s fine; you don’t need to compensate for this! However, according to relevant regulations, commander-level pets cannot undergo attack tests, as the upper limit of that test equipment is only 10,000.”

In normal circumstances, it wasn't completely forbidden for commander-level pets to participate in such tests; if they could control themselves well, everyone would often choose to turn a blind eye.

But if it led to a machine breakdown like today, that would truly be utterly foolish!

Thinking of this, the Tianlan City Mayor couldn't help but tease.

“You wouldn’t be that stupid, would you?”

Hearing this, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, “No, no, my level is only advanced beginner.”

“Hmm, that’s good, as long as nothing went wrong. You must continue to work hard and strive to achieve excellent results in the subsequent assessments.”

“As long as you perform well, the city will provide you with even more rewards!”

The Tianlan City Mayor patted Li Wen’s shoulder encouragingly.

Just then, the Rongcheng City Mayor, who was standing behind, curiously leaned forward and asked.

“What, Old Wang, do you know this child?”

The Tianlan City Mayor smiled slightly and replied.

“Yes, this is one of the seed contestants I mentioned to you before!”

Since they had met face-to-face, there was no need to deliberately hide anything anymore… This farce, like a comical play, quickly came to an end.

As for Li Wen, he was satisfied to get the result he wanted—successfully assigned to the advanced area as planned.

Although the score difference here was not as great as in the City League, it was clearly divided. The four levels of beginner, intermediate, pet, and commander corresponded to scores of 10, 20, 30, and 100 points, respectively.

Do not underestimate the differences between these numbers; you must know that even a small point here can become a key factor in determining destiny.

Moreover, the larger the base number, the more obvious the advantages it brings. After all, whether it is a person or a pet, their energy is ultimately limited.

Just like a person’s physical strength is fixed, there is an upper limit to the pressure they can bear and the effort they can put in. Therefore, accumulating more points will undoubtedly make one’s future path smoother.

However, as the saying goes, “Good news never goes beyond the door, but bad news travels a thousand miles.”

On the same bus heading to the examination venue, the originally quiet atmosphere gradually broke, and everyone began to discuss the strength test results that had just concluded.

At this moment, the most nosy guy sitting in the front row couldn’t hold back and spoke first.

He was full of excitement and said loudly.

“Hello everyone! I’m Luo Jian from Dazhang City, and my attack power test score is 3968 points. I wonder what your scores are?”

As soon as his voice fell, a voice immediately came from beside him, clearly carrying a sense of exaggeration and showing off.

“I’m Mu Long from Daquan City, and my score is a whopping 7869 points! In my opinion, I’m afraid few people will be able to surpass me in this test!” After saying that,

He also glanced around proudly.

However, just at this moment, the person who had been silently looking out the car window, seemingly uninterested in this discussion, suddenly interjected coldly.

“Hmph, it’s just an attack power test; what can it prove? Especially the actions of that ‘Machine Breaker Kid,’ it’s simply unnecessary.”

Hearing this, Luo Jian immediately became interested and quickly asked.

“Oh, brother, don’t worry about that so much! Quickly tell us, why do you call him ‘Machine Breaker Kid’? That name is really unique!”

Feng Jingmo turned his head and replied expressionlessly.

“Actually, it doesn’t mean anything else; it’s just because he broke the machine during the test, so he got that nickname.”

“An advanced beginner comparable to a commander, but vulnerable in front of a commander-level pet.”

Li Wen silently complained, “Nickname precedes the person.”

Seeing the atmosphere cool down, Mu Long and Luo Jian, who were sitting in front of Li Wen, had no choice but to quietly ask Li Wen from behind.

“Buddy, buddy, what’s your score?”

Li Wen: Good heavens, a direct hit?

“I am the ‘Machine Breaker Kid’ you’re talking about.”
