"Achoo!"

Ma Fei, who was at home, suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, could it be that I caught a cold from kicking off the blanket last night?"

He was devising a plan to get Qiao Yu to agree to participate in the college entrance examination, and now he finally had a rough idea.

"You can even think of this kind of method, Ma Fei, you really are a genius! Hehe!" Ma Fei entered dreamland with a happy mood.

The next morning, Qiao Yu finished washing up and went to school.

There were only half a month left until the college entrance examination in the Otherworld.

The entire Su City was preparing for the college entrance examination, and various slogans and banners related to the exam were hung on both sides of the street.

"If you don't work hard for the college entrance examination this year, you'll be factory brothers next year."

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, all test for 985; Pagoda suppresses the river demon, all go to 211."

"The situation is not yet decided, you and I are all dark horses."

"Your score determines the bride price your future mother-in-law will want."

"If the college entrance examination is unreliable, then enter the factory with room and board, XX Electronics Factory is hiring..."

Qiao Yu walked to the familiar breakfast shop; he was already a regular customer of this shop.

The sign with "Old Peng's Breakfast Shop" written on it had been blackened by oil smoke, and the steaming, lively atmosphere enveloped the entrance of the shop, so thick that it could not be dispersed.

"Uncle Peng, the usual, a cup of soy milk and a basket of xiaolongbao (small steamed buns)."

"Okay~ here you go!"

Uncle Peng was a somewhat weathered vendor who, after having his stall overturned when he was young, finally decided to open his own small store, which had been running for nearly twenty years.

"Thank you, Uncle Peng."

Qiao Yu had just received the xiaolongbao when a large group of reporters with cameras and microphones surrounded him.

"Congratulations to this friend for buying the 100,000th serving of xiaolongbao from Old Peng's Breakfast Shop and winning our special prize! May I ask, what are your thoughts?"

A female reporter shoved the microphone into Qiao Yu's mouth.

Qiao Yu: "?"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Honest Uncle Peng's face was full of confusion. When did his little broken shop have a special prize?

Could these people be scammers?

The female reporter gave a wink, and a person who looked like an assistant immediately pulled Uncle Peng aside.

When the two returned, Uncle Peng's face was full of red light.

"Yes, lad Qiao Yu, our shop does have this special prize!"

There was no way around it, the honest Uncle Peng didn't want to lie, but they were giving him too much.

Qiao Yu: "..."

"Our special prize is a bonus of up to 200,000! Congratulations to this lucky friend!"

The female reporter didn't continue to ask for his thoughts; she pulled the microphone from Qiao Yu's mouth.

Immediately afterward, the assistant just now stuffed a large bundle of money packed in a snakeskin bag into Qiao Yu's arms.

A large group of people came and went in a hurry, like they were rushing to squeeze onto the subway, leaving only Qiao Yu holding the money with a dazed expression.

Do these people not even bother to draft their lies?

200,000 could buy Uncle Peng's shop. A breakfast shop owner using 200,000 as a special prize for the 100,000th serving of xiaolongbao, you're kidding me?

Ma Fei, who was in the distance, saw Qiao Yu holding the money, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ma Fei, you truly are amazing. You solved this difficult problem so easily.

He turned around smartly and got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

He departs after accomplishing his task, keeping his merit and fame hidden.

Now Qiao Yu should sign up for the college entrance examination, right?

Sure enough, Ma Fei quickly found Qiao Yu's name on the college entrance examination list of Fourth High School.

"Hmph, Qiao Yu, it's time for us to have a good competition! I will definitely take the first place in the warrior class in Su City. I hope you won't disappoint me either!"

Ma Fei's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

In the Otherworld, the college entrance examination is divided into five examination halls for fairness: the warrior class, the tank class, the assassin class, and the mage class, these four major classes conduct martial arts exams.

Su City will respectively compete for the first place in the four classes to participate in the battle for the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Finally, a separate examination hall for the support class is set up. This examination hall does not distinguish between professions and only conducts written examinations.

After all, it would be a joke for support-type professions like healers or exorcists to participate in martial arts exams.

"Young master, young master, something bad has happened!"

Ma Fei received a new message in his mind.

"What's the matter with all the panic?"

"Your classmate Qiao Yu didn't take the money at all, he gave all 200,000 to the breakfast shop owner!"

"What?!"

Ma Fei was shocked. Qiao Yu didn't take the money? Then why did he participate in the college entrance examination?

No, he must figure out what went wrong. His plan should have been foolproof!

Ma Fei quickly found Qiao Yu in Mage Class Two.

Ma Fei paused at the door of the classroom. No, if he asked directly, wouldn't he be exposed?

He had to inquire in a more subtle way.

"Qiao Yu, did anything special happen to you this morning?" Ma Fei walked up to Qiao Yu and asked.

"Yes, I helped an old lady cross the road this morning," Qiao Yu said with a smile that was not a smile.

Originally, his mind was full of doubts. Why would someone suddenly give him money this morning, and the excuse they used was so clumsy?

But after seeing Ma Fei, everything became clear.

After all, Qiao Yu could tell that Ma Fei was in the late stages of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) when he was in Nightmare Village.

"Besides that? Besides that, is there anything else?" Ma Fei pressed.

Anxious, anxious, he's anxious!

"Other things..." Qiao Yu rubbed his chin. "Oh! I remember! The breakfast shop!"

Ma Fei cast an eager look, signaling Qiao Yu to continue.

"This morning, the xiaolongbao that the breakfast shop owner sold me... only had seven in it. It used to be eight, what a profiteer!"

Bang!

Ma Fei punched the table, almost suffering internal injuries. His face looked like he had eaten ten green-headed flies.

"What's wrong, Ma Fei? Are you feeling unwell?" Qiao Yu said, suppressing his laughter.

"No... nothing!"

It was that familiar feeling again. Ma Fei always felt suffocated whenever he faced Qiao Yu.

He simply asked directly.

"Qiao Yu, didn't you say you weren't going to participate in the college entrance examination before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Confucius said: 'To learn without thinking is futile; to think without learning is dangerous.' So participating in the college entrance examination is still very necessary," Qiao Yu said.

"Zi Yue? Where is Zi Yue?" Ma Fei stretched his neck and looked around for Zhao Ziyue's figure. "You're lying to me, Zhao Ziyue isn't here at all!"

Qiao Yu: "..."

On the other hand, several classmates from Mage Class One were deeply moved by Qiao Yu's words.

"Classmate Qiao Yu, you're really working hard. You've already been recommended to Beijing University and you still want to continue with the college entrance examination. We have to learn from you!"

"By the way, Classmate Qiao Yu, what did you mean by that ancient saying you just said? Can you explain it to us?"

Under the confused gazes of several classmates, Qiao Yu nodded and began to explain.

"If you learn my martial arts without learning my thoughts, you will be confused. If you learn my thoughts but not my martial arts, you will be beaten to death."

Classmates: "..."

Is that really the case? We suspect you son of a bitch are lying to us.
