ALL NOVEL Chapter 37
It’s Him!
Lin Chang`an made up his mind—he must stay in the police station.
The high school didn’t have the capability of protecting him. As the matter fermented, second-realm and third-realm experts would quickly have their eyes on him.
Right now, in the entire Qindao City, only the police station was safe.
He mustn’t leave the police station before the unified examination.
“In this unified examination, I must get into the top ten of the Jiangbei Province… ”
If he was a student from the top two academies, who’d dare to lay a hand on him?
It’d be slapping the S-Grade academies in the face if they did.
In a world where high martial prowess was revered, universities were the equivalent of sects.
The top two S-Grade academies were the absolute hegemons.
As for the high schools, their statuses were too low and they were too weak.
…
As Lin Chang`an appeared at the police station’s entrance, countless eyes stared at him.
“The strangest person in the entire dungeon.”
“To think that someone who hasn’t become a first-realm cultivator managed to come out from a C-Grade dungeon alive. There’s definitely something strange about this.”
“Although that dungeon is a mental-attribute one, giving low realm cultivators a chance to explore it, it isn’t for those who haven’t even reached the first realm.”
This was unless they had the ability to control this dungeon.
(And if that’s really the case, then aren’t you the murderer?)
(Moreover, you must have a shocking fortuitous opportunity too.)
“If he dares to leave the police station, I’ll be the first to apprehend him!”
Lin Chang`an stood at the police station’s entrance just like that, taking out his phone calmly.
He quickly found what he wanted on the colorful screen.
“Online Crown City! New casino in Ao Province! Sexy dealers available online!”
“Top up 10,000 for 5,000 cashback that can be immediately withdrawn! Global access to gambling! Beautiful dealers will be dealing the cards!”
Lin Chang`an tapped on a sexy dealer and started playing.
…
15 minutes later, in the police station’s interrogation room.
The middle-aged policeman noticed that the coffee was still warm, but Lin Chang`an had already come back.
(Why am I concerned about the warmth of his coffee*?)
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I gambled. I should be detained for seven days.”
Lin Chang`an was clear with the various laws.
After all, he was someone who had attempted to search for legal loopholes.
“Sss…” the middle-aged man’s lips twitched.
It was true that gambling was forbidden, but who’d report themselves for gambling online?
Moreover, if one gambled just a small amount, who would care?
Lin Chang`an took out his phone and opened up the transaction records. “I gambled $10,000. It’s considered a small amount and according to the regulations, I should be detained for 7 to 14 days. However, in view that I turned myself in and the offense is minor, I should be given a lighter sentence.”
A lighter sentence meant that the suitable punishment would be at the lowest end of the punishment range.
After he was detained for seven days, it’d be just in time for the unified examination.
Lin Chang`an’s heart ached a little for him to spend $10,000 like this, but this was what he needed to do to get the lowest level of punishment. There was no helping it.
The middle-aged man tilted his head. This kid was really strange.
“Moreover, I’m not 18 years yet, and this offense shouldn’t go into the records.”
This punishment wouldn’t cause any impact at all.
The middle-aged policeman sat opposite him and thought for a very long time. He then got up and shook hands with Lin Chang`an. “I’m called Guan Zhang. Please take care of me in the future.”
He felt that this kid had a bright prospect before him.
He was smart and seemed to be very talented as well. He was also mature.
An old policeman like himself who had worked for over ten years suddenly felt that in another few years, this person might turn out to be his superior.
Lin Chang`an: “?”
“Just stay here. There won’t be any punishment.” Guan Zhang waved his hand.
“Alright.”
Lin Chang`an took out his phone, and moaning sounds started to ring out in the interrogation room.
“I’m sorry, I tapped on the wrong thing.”
Guan Zhang: “…”
…
Just like that, Lin Chang`an started cultivating in the police station.
His cultivation started to improve slowly.
Qi and blood value: 1,788, 1,789, 1,790…
While he cultivated, he ran another simulation.
[Simulation starts.]
[You cultivated seriously in the police station and no one dared to lay a hand on you.]
[Seven days later, on the day of the unified examination, you were released.]
[The school’s bus stopped in front of the police station. With the unified examination at hand, no one dared to make any reckless moves, so you arrived at the examination venue successfully.]
[In the humanities examination in the morning, you only obtained 290 out of 720 points. Hence, you were put into the F Group and you’d be facing someone from the S Group or A Group for the first round.]
[You were quite lucky in the first round, getting a nerd whose combat ability was very weak as your opponent. You advanced successfully.]
[However, being in the F Group, you still needed to fight against one opponent from the S or A Group for the second round.]
[Your luck was very bad and you drew the genius from Jiangbei Province’s Number One High School from the S Group.]
[He had hit the limits in his qi and blood value and had the time attribute, being able to control time to stop it for a very short period.]
[You were eliminated.]
[You only received the enrollment invitation from C-Grade academies.]
[The Rong Clan didn’t care for a student who was merely from a C-Grade academy.]
[A third-realm expert made a move and captured you.]
[You were tortured to your death.]
It had become a norm for him to have bad luck. The repulsion from the world will seemed to have become normal.
And looking at the results of the simulation, Lin Chang`an sneered in his heart.
It was torture to death again. How arrogant!
Looking at the options in front of him, the talent reward was only an E-Grade one. Hence, Lin Chang`an chose to retain the memory fragment.
Countless scenes instantly flashed past in his mind. Lin Chang`an tried hard to discern them and quickly found what he wanted—the paper for the unified examination’s humanities examination.
There were a total of 42 pages for the humanities examination paper.
Stacked with the memory fragment he had chosen from the last simulation, he had now obtained 38 pages.
“In the earlier phase when spirit qi returned, which was the first team to first discover the existence of the fog and studied the principle behind it?”
“On the Ninth Year of the Empress Calendar, wars across the world stopped and the people lived in peace. However, dungeons started appearing and black fog suddenly became complicated and diverse. Moreover, bewildering dreams appeared as a natural disaster for the first time. Based on this, back then…”
“Please describe simply your understanding of cultivation arts and spirit techniques.”
Lin Chang`an felt very stumped after reading the questions.
The teaching materials for the humanities examination came up to a total of 30 books. Given the time he had left, he wouldn’t be able to grasp them all completely. Of course it’d be easier for him to look at the unified examination’s paper through the memory fragments and cheat.
After going through the memory fragments in his mind, he then started to go through the books to look for the answers to these questions.
After one whole night, he finally found the answers to the questions he had and memorized them.
“Alright, now I won’t have to be put into the F Group.”
“In both times I was put into F Group, I encountered that genius who can stop time. It’s too terrible.”
After all, Lin Chang`an had been wasted for over ten years and had only started cultivating for over ten days
Even with a cheat system in his hands, it’d be difficult for him to win against the weirdo who was famous in the entire province.
That deeply entrenched time stop was something that his yang qi couldn’t break at its current level.
“Getting full marks in 38 pages is sufficient to be put into the A Group. It’s considered good for me.”
As long as Lin Chang`an didn’t encounter that genius, he had extremely high confidence in performing well and successfully getting into an S-Grade academy.
…
Just like that, three days passed by in the blink of an eye.
The people who were waiting outside the police station were all getting anxious.
“What’s going on? Did that kid take the police station as his home?”
“This kid is really crafty.”
“The unified examination is coming up very soon. No one would dare to kidnap an examinee at a time like this,” Many people said with gloomy faces.
At this moment, the Rong Clan Corporation also had their attention on this place.
“Is it him?” asked the middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes to the subordinate next to him.
This subordinate hesitated for a short moment. Before he said anything, he already sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t right. The world seemed to be changing color and the surrounding air was condensing together.
This was the strength of a fourth-realm expert. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that his might towered as high as the sky.
“It’s him! It’s him!” the subordinate quickly answered, breaking out in sweat.
