The Results of the Vote

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Hahaha, I think I've figured out who this Revenge Girl is!]

[Revenge Girl: ?]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: Who is it?]

Inside a classroom at the Sun Moon Imperial Academy.

Meng Hongchen tilted her head up, the corners of her mouth slowly curling into a smile as she felt proud of her own intelligence.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: The group leader said we need to increase discussion in the group chat. Based on what was just transmitted, one is me and one is Dong'er—both are people in the group. Now that we've been given two choices, it's the stories and experiences of Yu'er and Ju Zi.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Currently, the only ones in the group whose identities are unknown are Cat and Revenge Girl. Since Revenge Girl said she is at the same academy as me, she must be from the Sun Moon Empire, so I can rule out Cat. That just leaves Revenge Girl!]

[Revenge Girl: Wuwu, Meng, please have mercy! I'm your senior, you know!]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: (⑅•ᴗ•⑅) Hmph hmph.]

[Revenge Girl: Wuwu, no, don't do this.]

Before the emotional plea could even get halfway through, [Revenge Girl: By the way, is that medicinal pill you mentioned earlier still on the table?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Of course not. I figured this out myself, and in the future, you'll be an Empress with a status far higher than mine. Why would you still need these scraps from me?]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: Oh, so you two are from the same academy. But I feel like becoming a god is still more tempting than being an Empress. I choose the first one.]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Me too. I want to see how Yu'er becomes a god.]

[Grilled Fish Girl: Same here.]

[Revenge Girl: Then I'll choose the first one too. I want to see who it is that Yu'er, who has a revenge goal just like me, is seeking revenge against.]

Chu Mo is the group leader and cannot vote.

Tang Ya is busy cultivating and has no time to vote.

Zhu Zhuqing isn't absent, but she chose to abstain.

As it stands, the vote for the other option is 4:1, and with no chance of winning, Meng Hongchen shakes her head helplessly.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Fine, fine. Then I'll take a look at what this becoming a god is all about too.]

Five votes were cast for the first option.

This result was within Chu Mo's expectations; after all, becoming a god is still more attractive than being an Empress.

[Chu Mo: The results are in. I will try my best to edit the video quickly. Everyone, study hard and don't let the group chat waste your time on real-world matters.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: But this class is so boring. My grandfather could teach me all of this already.]

There was no helping it; since she had to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament, she had to maintain good relationships with her teammates. It wouldn't do to just bury her head in researching Spirit Tools all by herself.

But the arrogant Meng Hongchen looked down on anyone who couldn't beat her.

As for looks, that goes without saying. After seeing Wang Dong'er earlier, even knowing the other party was a girl, she was still captivated.

She wasn't impulsive enough to pursue her, but it certainly raised her standards.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: @Revenge Girl, Senior Ju Zi, why don't you come find me? You said you had something to talk to me about, so how about we go research Spirit Tools together?]

[Revenge Girl: Meng, you're putting me in a tough spot. I'm your senior, how can I help you skip class?]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Exactly, how can you make things difficult for others?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Of course it's not skipping class, it's doing something more meaningful.]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: Is this the art of language?]

[Chu Mo: 666]

To be able to justify skipping class so calmly, she really is something else.

Chu Mo gave her a thumbs up, then waited a moment longer. Seeing nothing else that required his attention, he exited the group chat to edit the video.

There is quite a lot of footage related to Huo Yu'er, after all, she is the protagonist. If he really started from her growth, he wouldn't need to pick anything else, because everything else would be reflected in it.

Therefore, he still needed to be selective, otherwise he wouldn't be able to attract them. Without activity points, how could he level up? Once he finished this, he would definitely be able to level up.

The morning was spent running. This time, everyone was wearing iron vests. Many people collapsed directly, and only after being healed could they barely stand up, their legs still shaking like chaff.

"Ouch."

Chu Mo was also suffering greatly. If not for the medicinal pill, he might have already been lying on the ground, stripped of all dignity.

"Very good, not bad. No one was expelled today. Excellent. Go back to the dorms to change your clothes and then return to the classroom."

Zhou Yi still had a face full of wrinkles, maintaining a smile and her posture, with her hands clasped behind her back.

Little did she know that Wang Dong'er had already cursed Zhou Yi for at least four pages in the group chat. She was also covered in foul-smelling sweat, and as a girl with mysophobia, she felt like she could kill someone.

Yesterday, she had at most broken a light sweat, which was easy to wipe away. Today, with the iron vest on her back, it was just too much; she felt like she was being pickled in her own scent!

Huo Yu'er and Xiao Xiao didn't fare much better. One was malnourished and the other was a little girl; they only managed to finish the run thanks to the auxiliary effects of the medicinal pills.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Hehe, this Shrek Academy really shattered my illusions. It's hard to describe. It's so bad, why don't you just come over to our side? You don't have to run every day, just have an occasional test.]

Watching the barrage of complaints scroll by, Meng Hongchen felt a bit confused. If they disliked it so much, why not just quit?

Such a genius would be welcomed anywhere, and hadn't she mentioned that she had two Limit Douluo at home to help her? It would be better to just go back.

[Revenge Girl: Meng is right. Running every day to squeeze out one's potential and then improving physical strength only works if you take a medicinal bath after the run; relying solely on ordinary exercise isn't ideal.]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Although I really dislike Shrek's teaching methods, I will absolutely not join the Sun Moon Empire.]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: ...]

[Chu Mo: Hmm, I will quit, but not right now.]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: What? You want to quit the academy and go to the Sun Moon Empire?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Oh? Are you really coming? I'll save a good spot for you, Group Leader brother. How about becoming my junior?]

[Chu Mo: ...]

[Chu Mo: Of course not. It's just that there's no point in staying here, and there's no great significance in going to the Sun Moon Empire either. I have my own goals to complete.]

[Xiao Who Plays the Flute: What goals? How about I just leave with you, Group Leader brother? I feel like the training here really doesn't suit me.]

[Chu Mo: If there's no progress on the goal, I won't mention it. I haven't decided when to leave yet, either.]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: It wouldn't be to go find some woman, would it?]

Walking on the path toward the dorms, the three of them were heading the same way. During the walk, he could feel Wang Dong'er glaring at him several times.

"Don't misunderstand, they're just some thoughts. Besides, I really don't feel like I can learn anything in the academy."

"But it's only the second day of school. Isn't it a bit too early to jump to conclusions? Don't you know you should stay for a few more days to see how things go?"

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes and said with great displeasure.

"I, I think so too?"

Huo Yu'er had been unable to get a word in on the side, but now she chose to give a weak reply.

"Yeah, I didn't say right now either. I just said I haven't decided yet."

Chu Mo nodded. In the future, these two would both be assets, so it wouldn't hurt to talk to them about it. However, since there were no signs of anything yet, saying more would be useless, so he didn't continue the topic.
