Arrogant Red Hair + Mobile Game Guy

Chang Hanshan's fur instantly bristled.

Clutching her chest, she cried out in anguish, "Ranan, you've hurt me so deeply!"

"You can question my character, scorn my integrity, but you can't doubt our feelings!"

"We're practically ride-or-die friends!"

"Over ten years of friendship! And you suspect me of trying to steal your boyfriend!"

"I've always supported you and Your Highness Zhe as a couple!"

"My heart aches! It hurts!"

"Ah!"

"No, I'm in so much pain I can't breathe!"

"I'm practically dying of sadness!"

This crazy woman was spouting nonsense again.

They had only met in college, where did "over ten years of friendship" come from?

Zhang Miaoran was amused by this drama queen.

"Alright, alright! I'm not kidding anymore. Let's go, we shouldn't keep Ah Zhe waiting too long!"

"Eeeh~ Ah Zhe~ You still say you two have nothing going on?"

"...Do you want a beating?"

"You violent woman! Him following you is like a pearl cast before swine! From now on, I'll call you 'Zhang Antou'!"

"Ah Zhe and I are just innocent, ordinary friends! I'll get angry if you keep saying things like that!"

"What do you mean 'saying things'? I'm giving you a boost, what do you know! Besides, don't let your lips curl upwards like that! What are you so happy about?"

"You were cuter when you were still quiet and demure."

"Hah... Hah! Now that Earth has entered the supernatural era, lots of people's personalities have changed drastically! I've seen the light, understood myself, and revealed my true self! Get it? And, this girl has always been adorable!"

"Adorable, with no brain?"

"Scary! Just as expected from your boyfriend's girlfriend."

"I'll rip your mouth off!"

"Heh, want me to get you a mirror so you can see what you look like when you smile right now?"

Skipping the private chat between best friends.

In the Swift Wind Pavilion's director's office.

Zhou Zhe activated his [Self-Configuration] talent.

"Triple Focus... Let's give it a try!"

If he didn't have [Absolute Comprehension], Zhou Zhe wouldn't dare to play like this; he could easily end up with schizophrenia.

However, there were no "what ifs" in the world.

The [Absolute Comprehension] talent allowed Zhou Zhe to clearly recognize the boundaries of each self-configured persona, ensuring he would never forget his true nature.

So...

[Triple Focus: A meticulous and infinitely patient teacher; a rapid-reading, photo-memory information filter; a devout scholar who treats knowledge as faith and craves progress.]

Time to take off!

He began his cultivation and learning—Elementary Planar Cryptography.

He searched for suitable exchanges from the Black Sword Shield Brand list.

Simultaneously, he pondered his own situation and the development direction of the Swift Wind Pavilion.

"The exclusive mission from the Dao, success gives +30 points, failure deducts 60. This mission..."

"It's not bad!"

"Thinking on the bright side, at least I won't have to participate in the Cosmic Arena for two months. I can consider it a paid vacation..."

Screw that!

Zhou Zhe decided not to continue comforting himself.

People who habitually deceive themselves never end up well!

This exclusive mission was clearly a massive trap!

But he still had to grit his teeth and do it.

Who was he to argue when the "Dao" held absolute authority?

The timeline could be bent and shaped as they pleased, leaving him with no possibility of resistance.

"Taking disciples who possess the Cosmic Gladiator identity and cultivating them with priority is quite reasonable. After all, every Cosmic Gladiator, as long as they don't die, is equivalent to an additional source of income. With a dual approach, it's easier to reach the Black Iron Three-Star standard."

"Regarding the first batch of apprentices, there's no need to worry too much. The student pool from the Supernatural Affairs Department will definitely not be too bad."

"Then, the next issue is the development direction of the Swift Wind Pavilion…"

Since the Myriad Heavens Forum was casually created by a god, the value of Earth's information industry chain was bound to shrink significantly. Compared to the Myriad Heavens Forum, their products were completely uncompetitive; they didn't even qualify to be the lesser of two evils.

Zhou Zhe, as the second-generation master of the Swift Wind Pavilion, was not short on money.

What he wanted was to use the Swift Wind Pavilion as the core to promote the establishment of the supernatural system for all of China, and even the entire Earth.

"The load for Triple Focus is still a bit high; I'm pretty much at my limit now."

Feeling a mental strain, Zhou Zhe immediately realized the problem: "To achieve Triple Focus, my mental power must break through."

"Look on the bright side."

"Being in this state for a long time is also a very good way to train my mental power and willpower!"

After all, he didn't have any secret techniques specifically for cultivating mental power, so he could only use this brute-force method.

Zhang Miaoran and Chang Hanshan, who entered after knocking, caused Zhou Zhe to divide one-third of his attention.

"I've already seen your aptitude test reports,"

Zhou Zhe said while flipping through "Elementary Planar Cryptography," "Don't feel discouraged. Aptitude and comprehension are only one aspect. As long as you're willing to work hard, humans can conquer fate!"

Someone with [Absolute Comprehension] saying talent isn't important… As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhou Zhe felt a bit like a scumbag.

But…

A well-intentioned lie is at least an expression of good intentions, right?

"The supernatural abilities I currently possess are three. I'll teach them to you one by one, from easiest to hardest."

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Zhang Miaoran's Wind Element Affinity was C. Under Zhou Zhe's guidance, she had successfully begun practicing the "Wind Element Body Tempering Technique."

The report from the GXI3 advanced testing instrument showed that her endurance had reached D, and her agility had improved to B+.

With the guidance of a patient and meticulous master, coupled with sufficient nutrition and a scientific, regular schedule, it was estimated that within two months, she could cultivate the "Wind Element Body Tempering Technique" to the peak of its first level!

In reality, this was already considered quite rapid progress for an ordinary Earthling.

Someone like Zhou Zhe, who had cheat abilities, couldn't be used as a reference.

It held no reference significance or value.

As for Chang Hanshan…

This girl was much more unfortunate.

Her Wind Element Affinity was a big zero. Practicing the "Wind Element Body Tempering Technique" was like a constipated person who hadn't eaten or drunk for three days and nights trying to go to the bathroom; there was no progress at all.

However, her "Wind Riding Blade Technique" was practiced quite proficiently. Although she lacked the corresponding supernatural power enhancement and was only imitating the form, her evaluations for strength, agility, and endurance had all increased by a small margin.

Endurance E+, Strength E, Agility E+.

Her foundation was weak, so she improved quickly in her weak areas.

The testing instrument's evaluation of classmate Chang Hanshan changed from [A stiff, weak Muggle] to [Just an ordinary Muggle].

Pleasing progress!

Speaking of which, this girl's potential was truly weak; the further she went, the harder it would be to improve.

Classmate Chang Hanshan occasionally provided assistance to Zhou Zhe and Zhang Miaoran, so Zhou Zhe thought she was quite nice.

It was just a shame her potential was so poor.

"Let's rest for a while today,"

Zhou Zhe's gaze fell on the two of them, and he clapped his hands.

His tone was gentle, his speech unhurried, and his expression serious, exuding an imposing aura without being angry, much like an old scholar in a private school hundreds of years ago. "Your new classmate has arrived."

At the same time, thirty-eight young people wearing red and black dual-colored uniforms stood at the entrance of the Swift Wind Pavilion.

The gender ratio was one-to-one, very balanced.

"We from the Supernatural Affairs Department are all elites, all supernatural beings. Do we really need to come to the Swift Wind Pavilion to seek a master?"

"If it were the previous pavilion master, Lin Ye, I wouldn't worry. But regarding this Zhou Zhe, I'm skeptical—he's too young!"

"Age is not a problem; respect goes to the capable! As long as the ability is sufficient, there's no problem. The issue is… is this Zhou Zhe's ability truly enough?"

"Be quiet! Zhou Zhe's strength has already been proven in the Cosmic Arena! That Super Horned Demon, Roxstar, who among you is his match?"

"Director Huang said Zhou Zhe is already a Black Iron Four-Star Gladiator! Do you know what that concept means?"

The crowd's discussion was interrupted by a cold snort.

The one who let out the cold snort was a man with blood-red hair.

This person was 1.9 meters tall, somewhat lean, with a face full of defiant arrogance. "What's the concept of a Black Iron Four-Star Gladiator? I don't understand, and I don't want to understand!"

"In this world, might makes right!"

"That Zhou Zhe, if he can beat me, I'll respect him!"

"If he can't beat me, then he's nothing!"

The mockery was harsh.

Apart from the team leader, Director Huang Tiankai, and one member who was intently playing a mobile game, the other team members all retorted.

This red-haired man was indeed impressive; his combat power was the strongest openly among them.

Didn't this mean he was mocking everyone present as trash?

"Dugu Xiu! Behave yourself!"

Director Huang Tiankai pointed at the red-haired man's nose, trembling with anger. "You're the only troublemaker!"

"Do you know how much manpower and resources the Supernatural Affairs Department spent for this cooperation opportunity?"

"If you cause any more trouble, I'll expel you directly!"

The red-haired man's expression was blank, exuding an intimidating aura. "Tch..."

"Boring."

With that, he put his hands in his pockets and was the first to walk into the Swift Wind Pavilion.

The second person to enter the Swift Wind Pavilion was the member who had a low presence and had been playing on his phone the entire time.

Before entering.

Mobile Game Guy looked up, a confident, sunny smile on his face. "Old Huang, no need to be angry. Xiu'er isn't wrong."

"True gold fears no fire. We'll know what Zhou Zhe is really made of after one fight!"

"I also want to test his skill."

(Zhou Zhe: Heard you guys want to die?)

Looking for a book list! Thanks!
