Chapter 152 My friend is my friend!
Chu Xuange also saw what was happening with Fox Xiaoliu. Seeing that it openly accepted fifty copper coins and called that player "friends," he remained silent.
He couldn't understand it. This hothead was really not afraid of being investigated. He made this kind of transaction so obvious.
"They are accepting bribes, just using the guise of making friends."
Fox Xiaoliu gave the player a registration form: "Here you go. Go get your driver's license now. If you don't have a driver's license next time, I can't be your friend."
The player nodded repeatedly, used the vehicle repair card to restore the vehicle, and then went to take his driver's license test.
Fox Xiao Liu happily stuffed all the copper coins into its pocket. When it looked up, it saw Pei Hening and Chu Xuange: "Good day, friends of seniors."
"Good day, Officer Fox."
After checking as usual and confirming that the two of them had not violated any rules, Hu Xiaoliu looked at Pei Hening expectantly.
The pistachio-flavored ice cream she gave me last time was especially delicious. Fox Xiaoliu skipped work yesterday to buy some, but found it was sold out.
It said, "The friends of our elders are my friends, don't you think?"
Pei Hening: "...Gege, get an ice cream for our good friend, Officer Fox."
Fox Xiao Liu's round eyes lit up: "I want to eat pistachio flavor."
Chu Xuange went and got a pistachio-flavored ice cream and handed it to Hu Xiaoliu.
"Officer Fox, how many colleagues do you have? I think I've only run into you and Officer Fatty Snake."
Fox Xiaoliu opened the ice cream and said, "I have quite a few colleagues, but I'm currently the only officer in charge of the 99-999 zones."
Pei Hening handed over an orange: "Where are the police officers who came from the merged districts?"
Fox Xiaoliu said, "They have all been merged into partitions 99-999 and need to undergo retraining in accordance with the partition arrangement, while the management systems of other partitions have been downgraded."
Pei Hening finally understood the true value of 999's statement: "Securing the right to retain the area code of this region based on strength, and maintaining the original configuration of the management system."
After saying goodbye to Fox Xiaoliu, the two drove towards the school.
——
School.
As soon as Pei Hening entered the floating island, she heard a broadcast from the assessment area.
"The trainees are in position and the assessment is about to begin. Spectators, please take your seats as soon as possible."
She looked up and wondered, was it too late to start the assessment now?
Upon seeing this, the bald little doll lying on the woven vine rocking chair lazily said, "They are players from other races, not you humans."
Pei Hening took the initiative to ask, "Teacher, are you from the Frostfall Clan?"
Pingyuan hasn't taken the test yet, and she's quite eager to see it, to learn more about the strength of other races.
Xixia looked at her and smiled, "It's a pity that today is the assessment day for the Haiyuan Clan. The Jiangshuang Clan will have to wait a few days."
She understood the trainees' strong desire to learn about highway survival.
Long ago, when she first learned of the existence of the 'Impersonator,' she was even more restless than the trainees.
Pei Hening looked at Xixia and asked, "Teacher, what class are we having today?"
Sicily stood up from the vine-woven rocking chair and said, "Of course it's shooting combat. I've heard you're a good shot."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large shooting range that Pei Hening was familiar with appeared before him.
Sicily walked over and picked up the silver sniper rifle with one hand: "Watch closely."
She aimed and fired with ease.
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
The magic bullet that was fired had somehow split into more than three hundred magic bullets, which hit the moving targets and instantly cleared all the moving targets in the shooting range.
Pei Hening's eyes widened. She first looked at the three hundred moving targets, then at Xixia who seemed to be handling them with ease, and was stunned.
Is this the teacher's ability?
That's incredible!
It was a bit counterintuitive for her, but she really liked this trick!
Pei Hening cleared her throat, her gaze fixed intently on Xixia, and said, "Teacher, as you know, I've been learning from you since I entered the school—in our human terms, I'm your personal disciple."
Ignoring the students' incredibly corny lines, Sicily said helplessly, "It's not difficult. Study hard, and you can do it too."
This is simply a matter of proficiency with magic, not a matter of intelligence.
As long as one can skillfully control their own magic, like her, one can split a magic bullet into three hundred magic bullets.
The challenge lies in maintaining the power while splitting the magic bullets.
Xixia instructed Pei Hening to teach her how to compress magic bullets, and took her to try it twice, letting her feel how to use the magic extracted from her body, before letting her try it on her own.
By the time Pei Hening finished today's lesson, she had lost all feeling in her hands and only felt a numbness in her shoulders.
She still hadn't mastered Cecilia's trick, but her control over magic had improved.
——
Seeing her miserable state, Chu Xuange took the initiative to walk over, put his arm around her, and led her outside: "Was today's lesson difficult?"
Pei Hening nodded with a bitter expression: "It's difficult. I feel like my shoulders and hands no longer belong to me."
"Shall we go back?"
Chu Xuange frowned, thinking that he would massage her later, but this wouldn't do.
Pei Hening nodded: "Okay."
They had only gone halfway when they encountered Pingyuan and Chixue, and the atmosphere between them became tense.
Bottle Wish was wearing a bright red magic robe with a ruby belt around her waist. She gripped the potion bottle hanging on her chest tightly, her knuckles white, and said in a serious tone, "I cannot, and will not, lend you my weapon. I have said it many times."
Chi Xue, dressed in a blue and white magic robe and adorned with ocean-themed accessories, looked at Ping Yuan and asked, "Even if we're friends, you can't lend it to me?"
Ping Yuan nodded: "No."
Chi Xue gave her a deep look, her emotions calming down, and said, "I understand."
Chi Xue turned and left without waiting for Ping Yuan to speak.
Pingyuan stood alone in the same spot, still tightly clutching the potion bottle hanging on her chest.
Pei Hening gently tugged at Chu Xuange's sleeve: "Let's take a detour. Pingyuan probably doesn't want us to see her in such a disheveled state."
Chu Xuange: "Okay, let's go around from the flower pavilion."
Pingyuan hung her head, her short red hair obscuring her face, and tears were streaming down her face, making her look quite pitiful.
Pei Hening and his companion walked out of the flower pavilion, and as soon as they entered, they heard some noise inside.
"Big brother, I was really wrong. Please, can you stop pursuing me?"
Frank, holding a pile of food, pitifully handed it to a unicorn beetle, saying, "I really didn't mean to."
After the white unicorn beetle finished the food he offered, it started chasing Frankza again.
Pei Hening: "...That's great. Minors are so energetic. They're even playing a racing game with unicorns in this cold weather."
Seeing her amused expression, Chu Xuange couldn't help but laugh: "Baby, you're so cute~ You're so mean~"
