52: Chapter 52 You're from Chengdu, right?!

Shen Qingci hesitated for a moment, secretly gritted her teeth, and quickly walked over to Lu Yang as well.

Lu Yang was still recalling the soft, fleeting touch on his cheek from just now. Seeing Shen Qingci suddenly walk over, he felt a jolt in his heart.

Could it be...

This... this isn't very good, right?

But very soon, Lu Yang shook his head inwardly. How was that possible?

Since when did he have this kind of charm?

Loved by everyone and blooming flowers wherever he went?

Especially since Rebecca had just kissed him a moment ago, how could Shen Qingci possibly be the same as Rebecca?

After all, Shen Qingci's background wasn't bad either, she looked extremely pretty, and she was so popular back in school.

Now, she was also a top Genius possessing an orange Epic-tier Soul Talent.

No matter what, it was impossible for her to kiss him together with Rebecca at the same time.

He was thinking too much.

Lu Yang quickly figured something out.

He smiled and said, "Classmate Shen Qingci, do you want to rub off on some luck too?"

Shen Qingci was slightly taken aback, a flash of fleeting astonishment sweeping across her pure and lovely face, before she quickly said, "Ah?... Mn."

She silently nodded, a blush of embarrassment rising on her fair cheeks.

Her head had been a bit hot just now; thinking that if Rebecca could do it, she could at least go up and hug Classmate Lu Yang—surely that wouldn't be a big deal, right?

But being spoken to like that by Lu Yang, the courage she had just mustered from her momentary impulse directly dissipated.

She simply went along with it.

Rebecca at the side crossed her arms and leaned against the stone table, her blue eyes narrowing slightly with an ambiguous arc playing at the corners of her mouth.

As Shen Qingci's close girlfriend of many years, she knew this girl's shy and timid personality all too well.

Although this girl looked poised and generous in social settings, when encountering this kind of matter, she would definitely chicken out completely.

Rebecca felt secretly pleased; by the time this girl gathered up her courage, she would have already taken things a step further with Lu Yang.

By then, how could this girl still compete with her?

Naturally, Rebecca could also tell that Shen Qingci was likewise interested in Lu Yang.

This was also normal; Lu Yang's Soul Talent was simply too shocking, and coupled with his own decent conditions, sunny and handsome appearance, and a personality that was somewhat like an unromantic steel-straight man—though seemingly lacking in romantic flair—he was relatively gentle, polite, and not arrogant or conceited in his conduct.

For such an outstanding youth of the same age to be liked by others was the most normal thing in the world.

However, Rebecca never felt that just because Shen Qingci liked him, she had to yield him to her.

Lu Yang hadn't clearly stated who he liked anyway.

Then it would be fair competition!

Let's see who could win over Lu Yang.

She liked this kind of challenge; it was very interesting.

Seeing that Shen Qingci had agreed, Lu Yang immediately nodded and smiled, saying, "I don't know if it works either, so don't take it too seriously... Are you going to be like Rebecca?"

Shen Qingci's fair, lovely face blushed a few shades redder. She seemed to sense the gazes of Rebecca, Zhu Tongchen, and Lance from the side, which prickled so much that her back broke out in a bit of sweat.

She hurriedly said, "I... can I hold your hand?"

Lu Yang felt a little regretful inside.

He had thought Shen Qingci also wanted to touch his face like Rebecca did.

That touch had been quite comfortable after all.

However, he didn't dwell on it much and directly extended his palm out in front of her.

Looking at that well-knuckled, clean, and slender hand, Shen Qingci's heartbeat unconsciously skipped a beat.

She reached out with both hands and gently grasped Lu Yang's palm.

Her hands were a size smaller than Lu Yang's, and her fair, slender fingers covered his palm and the back of his hand, feeling warm and dry to the touch.

Classmate Lu Yang's hands are so big...

And... so warm.

I really want to pinch it...

Pinching it should be no problem, right?

Shen Qingci involuntarily tightened her slender, fair fingers and gave it a gentle pinch.

Feeling the small movement in Shen Qingci's hand, Lu Yang gave her a somewhat peculiar look.

Detecting Lu Yang's gaze, Shen Qingci quickly reined in her wandering thoughts and opened the treasure chest with a blushing face.

Afterwards, a purple radiance blossomed from the treasure chest.

[You have opened a Legendary Treasure Chest and obtained: Frost Barrier (Legendary) * 1]

Shen Qingci froze, her mind going slightly blank.

"Re... Really dropped a Legendary Skill Book?!"

And judging by the name, it seemed to be something used by Ice-type Mages?!

This... is this too fake?!

Just a moment ago, she was clearly just thinking that whatever Rebecca could do, she could do too. As for rubbing off on some luck, she hadn't cared much about it at all.

Who would have thought she actually managed to rub off on some luck?!

Seeing Shen Qingci's somewhat dazed expression and silence, Lu Yang asked curiously, "Classmate Shen Qingci, how is it? Did you open anything good?"

Shen Qingci abruptly snapped back to her senses. She hurriedly nodded, a pleasantly surprised smile surfacing on her pure, lovely face: "It really dropped a Legendary Skill Book! It's something I can use myself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Rebecca, Zhu Tongchen, and Lance all widened their eyes.

Especially Rebecca, who had previously thought that it was just her own luck exploding off the charts that allowed her to open something good.

Never did she expect that Shen Qingci actually opened one too?!

Can this fellow Lu Yang's luck really be contagious?!

She turned her head to look at Lu Yang, a burning look appearing in her deep blue eyes.

This fellow truly kept giving people pleasant surprises!

He was simply a Treasure Trove boy!

No, she must capture this fellow!

As for Zhu Tongchen, he was starting to crack.

His expression tangled for a moment, and then he finally couldn't help but say, "Brother Lu, um... can I rub off on it?"

Lu Yang: "????"

He was still amazed that others could genuinely rub off on his luck, but upon hearing Zhu Tongchen's words, his entire body instantly jolted awake.

Holy crap, you brat, are you from Chengdu?!

He looked at Zhu Tongchen with a vigilant face: "You brat want to hold hands with me too?! No way! Absolutely no way!"

Zhu Tongchen's face turned slightly red as he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, speeding up his speech: "No! Not holding hands! Brother Lu, don't misunderstand!"

Lu Yang only felt his scalp tingling.

No... what the fuck are you blushing for?!

Lu Yang only felt a chill running down his back.

Rebecca and Shen Qingci immediately glared at Zhu Tongchen with fierce, cold gazes.

The two of them hadn't even decided the victor yet, and a man like him wanted to meddle in as well?!

Has he grown tired of living?!

Detecting the icy gazes of Shen Qingci and Rebecca, Zhu Tongchen also felt his scalp go numb.

He hurriedly said, "No, Brother Lu, what I mean is, you just need to put your hand on my shoulder, the kind between normal friends!"

Zhu Tongchen had never experienced such a social death in his entire life.

He felt he was being wronged to death; he was at least a high-and-mighty cold campus male god back at school...

How did people view him as that kind of man?!

Hearing Zhu Tongchen's words, the vigilance in Lu Yang's eyes finally dissipated a bit.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this fellow really had that kind of idea.

It scared the wits out of him!

Lu Yang silently nodded: "Alright then."

Zhu Tongchen nodded hurriedly, extremely excited: "Many thanks, Brother Lu!"

He quickly walked to Lu Yang's side.

Lu Yang silently placed his palm on Zhu Tongchen's shoulder, a very normal brotherly shoulder-wrap.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Tongchen did not hesitate in the slightest and directly clicked to open the treasure chest.

He was truly afraid that if he stalled for even one more second, Brother Lu would go back on his word.

The next moment, the System prompt sounded.

[You have opened a Legendary Treasure Chest and obtained: Shadow Blade (Legendary) * 1]

Zhu Tongchen, usually calm and composed, had his face flushed red with excitement at this moment. He found it somewhat hard to believe, his voice even trembling slightly: "I also dropped a Legendary Skill Book! It's something I can use myself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all four of them turned to look at Lu Yang, their gazes filled with fiery passion.

This was simply too exaggerated!

It's one thing to have good luck oneself, but to actually let others rub off on your luck too?!

Even if Lu Yang didn't possess this incomparably powerful combat prowess, just this single perk of luck blessing alone would be enough to make him a mascot frantically fought over by all Professional teams!

After all, when it came to luck, whether fighting bosses or opening treasure chests, it was simply far too important!

Lu Yang hadn't expected that Smile of the Goddess of Fortune could actually allow good luck to be shared and used by others.

As expected of a demigod-tier Soul Talent, it was truly powerful.

Although it wasn't the same type as Diamond Physique, the degree of its power was identical.

Lu Yang took a deep breath and silently clicked open his own Legendary Treasure Chest.

Others could open Legendary Skill Books by rubbing off on his luck; surely he could open some good things himself too, right?
