194: Ruan Qingshu's trump card: applying for graduation.

Ruan Qingshu felt like she was being excluded.

She was being excluded by her best friend of many years and her soon-to-be fiancé working together.

They definitely had something they were hiding from her.

They weren't letting her know!

And it happened just last night!

"Dammit, how did Ruolai suddenly become so much smarter?

She actually knows how to change the subject and use Shen Pan's matters to pressure me!"

Could it be that Ruolai finally remembered her brain's login password?

She didn't want a Jiang Ruolai who had become smart, knew how to engage in infighting, and would compete with her for the position of the main wife.

Give her back that silly and somewhat purely stupid best friend from before!

Ruan Qingshu, who had finished washing up and eating breakfast, thought distressedly to herself.

Half an hour ago.

After waking up in the morning, she habitually kept her eyes closed and slowly wriggled down under the covers.

When she was preparing to get some fresh milk for breakfast...

She suddenly felt something was wrong!

Shen Pan's body wasn't this cool... and the physical volume she touched didn't match at all!

This was Ruolai's scent!

Ruan Qingshu was startled awake on the spot and kicked her best friend off the bed with a look of terror.

Then she angrily questioned the other girl why she had crawled behind her in the middle of the night.

Was she trying to secretly mine her smooth and exquisite mining area?

Although they were all good teammates in a three-player queue,

it didn't mean Ruan Qingshu was willing to duo-queue with Jiang Ruolai!

But Jiang Ruolai, having been kicked, just yawned sleepily.

She said, "Crazy! I'm not a lolicon!"

Then she climbed back onto the bed to continue sleeping.

But Ruan Qingshu clearly sensed that inside and on Ruolai's body,

there were none of the traces she was thinking of.

In other words, after she fell asleep in the middle of the night yesterday,

Ruolai and Shen Pan did not continue their ranked match!

It wasn't until Ruan Qingshu went downstairs for breakfast that she found Shen Pan had already gotten up to start making it.

However, there was a plate on the table that had already been finished,

and a chair pulled out!

This meant someone had just left!

But she had seen Laila, who was suspected to be from the Twelve Tribes of the Desolate God Realm, when she came down.

The other was sleeping in a corner on the first floor.

Her clothes were very neat.

So... last night, a fifth person came to their house and stayed until morning before leaving!

Ruan Qingshu's heart felt incredibly heavy.

She knew very well what this represented.

An unknown beautiful girl had fallen from the sky and was about to become her new sister!

But neither Jiang Ruolai nor Shen Pan answered her questions directly,

nor did they have any intention of exposing that mysterious person.

This made Ruan Qingshu feel like she was being excluded by everyone.

Although she had long expected such things after becoming free,

this was way too fast! She had only moved in for one day!

Could it be that the mysterious person's identity was something that couldn't see the light of day?

She was curious what kind of identity could be more impressive than hers as the number one rich loli in the Imperial Capital!

Ruan Qingshu sneered.

Could it be an Otherworld Goddess, or perhaps the Great Xia Sword Immortal had come?

However, Ruan Qingshu didn't pester Shen Pan excessively to reveal the mysterious person's identity.

She wouldn't waste energy on something that was already a foregone conclusion.

Besides... she still had a trump card!

Once her other self woke up and awakened that Authority of Life and Death she mentioned,

she would persuade and beg her to create a body just like hers.

To let the other self truly have a body and become Ruan Qingshu No. 2.

To become her good little sister!

With them as twin sisters working together, they would surely be able to win over Shen Pan.

And become the most important teammates in Shen Pan's heart!

"But... my other self is a naughty child and is very resistant to learning..."

"She's not even willing to use my body to practice."

Ruan Qingshu was a bit troubled.

She was confident she could make her other self independent.

As long as she said more nice things and acted a bit cute,

the other self would say things like:

"This is the last time I'm helping you." "Boring, the thinking of a Mortal."

While saying one thing but meaning another, she would agree to her request with a face full of arrogance!

But getting her to agree to join forces against Shen Pan... "Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. First, let my other self have an independent body as soon as possible!"

Ruan Qingshu thought silently.

At this moment, Jiang Ruolai looked at Shen Pan's face and finally remembered the main business.

She was going to apply for early graduation today!

By exploiting a bug, she would complete the main quest early!

"Shen Pan, Shen Pan, shouldn't we set off?"

Jiang Ruolai's voice was clearly tinged with excitement and anticipation.

After the first Heart's Desire Main Quest was completed,

the rewards should be very generous, right?

Not to mention the mission to surpass the Great Xia Sword Immortal could also be completed along with it!

She didn't even dare to imagine how generous the rewards would be!

She, Jiang Ruolai, was about to take off!

"Alright... let's go then."

Shen Pan gave Jiang Ruolai a strange look, not understanding why she was so excited... "What? You three want to apply for early graduation?"

"But the Global Competition is at the end of the year. Are you not participating?"

Vice Dean Yu was stunned and looked at the three of them blankly.

"Although your strength has already..."

Looking at the three big shots whose Realms he completely couldn't see through,

Vice Dean Yu silently gave up on finishing his sentence.

"Well, with your strength, you're more than qualified to be Outstanding Graduates.

And the Imperial Capital Academy indeed can no longer provide much help to you..."

The Vice Dean sighed, not knowing how to describe it after thinking for a long time.

Originally, the advantages of the Imperial Capital Academy were promotion crystals and a large number of dungeons and Secret Realms!

But these three each had a Legendary-rank Profession and could directly receive three promotion crystals.

Not to mention Ruan Qingshu was the favorite of the Ruan Clan.

She wouldn't lack cultivation resources at all, let alone mistreat the other two.

As for dungeons... others might not know and think the reason the three leveled up so fast

was that the Imperial Capital Academy controlled several Primordial Dungeons and gave them to Shen Pan for leveling up.

But in fact, as the Vice Dean, he could directly access the records.

Aside from that one Mutated Dungeon before the start of the semester,

these three had not entered a single dungeon or Secret Realm at all!!!

And experience crystals can only be used three times per major rank.

Which means these three... have a way of leveling up quickly that he doesn't know about!

"I'll have the relevant teachers process the documentation for you.

As for the diplomas... they will be sent to Shen Pan's home."

"From today on, you three are Outstanding Graduates of the Imperial Capital Academy!"

As the Vice Dean's words fell,

Jiang Ruolai, who had been monitoring the System's changes the whole time, paused.

[Through your foresight, you successfully saved Shen Pan and ensured he entered the Imperial Capital Academy smoothly until graduation.

And you have achieved a relationship beyond friendship with Shen Pan!]

[Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the first Heart's Desire Main Quest!]
