A Mobile Game's Mentorship Module

The red-haired guy and Mobile Game Guy's banter successfully amused Zhou Zhe.

The latter continued his performance, "Axiu, don't cry! You have to be stubborn to the end and keep confronting them! Just like when you first joined the Supernatural Affairs Department! Otherwise, your persona will collapse!"

"You can't just go back on your word and actually become their dog, right?"

???

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xiu's mind was filled with the common Chinese three-character classic playing on repeat.

They had agreed before the fight: whoever lost would become the subordinate. This...

If you're willing to accept the bet, can you call it being a dog?

You can't get ivory out of a dog's mouth!

His upper abdomen throbbed with unbearable pain. Dugu Xiu felt a wave of nausea, quickly gritting his teeth and staring intently at Jinuo.

He was already close to vomiting from Zhou Zhe's attack, and this dog was still adding insult to injury from the sidelines.

Is the world always this real?

Or is it only like this for the losers?

Friendly when things are going well, but immediately checking your record when they turn south.

Don't pick at people's wounds, understand?

Are you going to die if you don't bring up my past mistakes?

If you hadn't brought this up, I could have just played the role of a mentally challenged person, forgotten what I said earlier, and easily brushed it off!

At this moment, Zhang Miaoran, who had been obediently standing behind Zhou Zhe, suddenly tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "A Zhe, this red-haired guy is very strong..."

Dugu Xiu's ears perked up, his eyes shining.

Finally, someone noticed his excellence?

Zhou Zhe turned his head, and in that moment, his eyes seemed to be solely focused on her. "What do you mean?"

Zhang Miaoran stifled a laugh, "You punched him, and he didn't even beg you not to die..."

This conversation.

Dugu Xiu suddenly felt his stomach churning.

The sudden onslaught of dog food was overwhelming.

It was unbearable!

Chang Hanshan, who had been playing the role of an invisible bystander, almost becoming a vacuum, was acting rather strangely now.

Her gaze lingered on Dugu Xiu with a complex expression for a long time.

Nostalgia, joy, disdain, contempt, reverence...

It was as if she were looking at a comrade who died young while covering for his companions, or perhaps at a pretty boy with a rotten core.

After showcasing a face-changing skill that could instantly defeat a Sichuan opera master, Chang Hanshan looked at Zhou Zhe somewhat nervously and said, "Your Highness Zhe, this guy Dugu Xiu isn't deliberately provoking you, he's just..."

After racking her brain for a long time, she finally blurted out five words: "Naturally annoying."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhe glanced at Dugu Xiu, who was still leaning against the wall, trying to hold himself up, and nodded slightly, "He is quite cute. Did you guys know each other before?"

Chang Hanshan's eyes widened in panic, looking as if a secret had been exposed. She desperately tried to cover it up, "Don't mind these details! Ranan, listen! Your husband is starting to care about another woman's past! You should do something about him!"

Zhang Miaoran blushed, pinched the flesh on her waist, and her fingers began to apply pressure.

This Muggle best friend was really putting on a show.

Husband… that was going too far!

If she played along, would A Zhe think she was too frivolous?

They hadn't even established a relationship yet...

Zhang Miaoran looked up, meeting Zhou Zhe's gaze, and quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding like a drum as her thoughts raced.

What a shame, it was almost a good show.

The primary spectator nearby, her Muggle best friend, wasn't in the mood to savor the sweetness at the moment.

She stealthily pulled Zhang Miaoran's hand away, swallowed hard, and nervously added, "Although Dugu Xiu is annoying, he is indeed a reliable guy. As a meat shield or cannon fodder, he's definitely top-notch!"

Upon hearing this, the red-haired man's composure finally broke.

His aloof expression instantly twisted, and he glared furiously at Chang Hanshan.

Get lost, woman! Do I know you?

Not deliberately provoking, just naturally annoying?

Top-notch as a meat shield or cannon fodder?

Listen to this, are these words even human?

A barbed wolf?

A fake subordinate?

"Can you stop looking at me like I'm dead already?"

"Hmph!"

Dugu Xiu decided to ignore the beautiful woman who clearly had no idea of her own mortality.

He turned his head, stubbornly staring at Zhou Zhe.

Making threats wasn't Dugu Xiu's style.

A look was all it took. Let them figure it out!

Everything was understood without a word!

"Youngsters who are too perceptive of human affairs and worldly wise at an early age often indicate a mediocre nature."

Zhou Zhe finally shifted his gaze from Zhang Miaoran to Dugu Xiu, walking over and patting his shoulder. "So..."

"I appreciate you."

People with good looks and great temperament looked even more dazzling when they put on a show.

Dugu Xiu felt his face heat up and quickly turned his head away.

This is the end! This is the end!

After being beaten up, he actually felt a little happy from a few words of praise...

This was incredibly awkward.

Dugu Xiu shook his red hair, his gaze focusing on the empty space ahead, and said solemnly, as if making a vow, "From today on, you're my boss."

As he said this, Dugu Xiu felt the atmosphere was a bit off, so he added an explanation, "Until I surpass you."

At this point, the atmosphere had eased considerably compared to before.

After a duel, or rather, a one-sided beatdown, the members of the Supernatural Affairs Department were all convinced of Zhou Zhe's strength.

His teaching ability was yet to be seen, but at least his combat ability was strong enough!

That was all that mattered!

However...

Dugu Xiu's good buddy, Jinuo, while playing a mobile game, casually delivered a backstab: "Give it up, you still want to surpass him? You... can't do anything right, but you're number one at showing off."

"If you don't say anything, no one will think you're mute!" Dugu Xiu retorted, his red hair bristling like a cornered cat.

"The whimper of a defeated dog," Jinuo responded dismissively, still fiddling with his phone.

"Hmph, at least you're better than someone who doesn't even have the courage to challenge."

"What the heck, why did everyone leave? I got so caught up playing games! Why didn't you remind me? Master Zhou is quite capable! I can't miss the first lesson!"

"Come here!" Zhou Zhe said coldly.

"What for?" Jinuo asked warily.

"My legs are weak, I can't walk, give me a hand."

"Are you kidding me? Why don't you have me carry you? I'm leaving! Crawl there yourself!"

"Three bottles of cola, plus a week's worth of braised chicken and rice! My treat!"

"Okay! Boss, hop on!"

"Arno, you're a real one, my good brother Dugu Xiu."

"???"

When Jinuo helped Dugu Xiu arrive at the Supernatural Academy, Zhou Zhe had just finished his introductions.

"Now that you all know me, let's get down to business."

"Today, I'll be teaching the first part of the Wind Riding Blade Technique."

"Although to fully unleash the power of the Wind Riding Blade Technique, you'll need matching supernatural strength, I will break it down step-by-step and explain it to you all."

"By analogy, perhaps you'll gain some insights."

Jinuo, who had been somewhat distracted, suddenly perked up when Zhou Zhe actually started teaching.

Because...

A line of text appeared on his phone screen, visible only to him.
