This is the Herrscher of Erosion from the Pre-Collapse Civilization—Rin!
"Ling Xi, are you alright!"
At this moment, Seele and Mobius also arrived. Seele, in particular, looked at Ling Xi with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Ling Xi smiled at Seele and said, "This level of difficulty is a piece of cake for me!"
"You idiot, you almost got hit!"
Seele looked furious. She was truly speechless with Ling Xi. Why was this idiot playing the hero? Although... it was indeed cool, but if he had failed, she would have only been able to mournfully attend his funeral!
"Uh... no way!"
Ling Xi looked awkward. After all... Seele didn't know his strength, so it was normal for her to be worried!
"Hmph, if you do that again next time, I'll..."
Seele seemed to want to threaten Ling Xi again, but she didn't know what to say when the words reached her lips. In the end, she just threw herself into Ling Xi's arms. "You're not allowed to do that anymore!"
Ling Xi: "..."
Facing Seele's embrace again, Ling Xi just wanted to shout... Nice catch!
"Ahem!"
At the critical moment, Mobius coughed. At the same time, her gaze towards Ling Xi was strange. Is this the junior schoolmate you called... just a normal acquaintance?
Of course, Mobius was also worried for a moment about Ling Xi's actions just now. However, after seeing Ling Xi's speed and thinking about his abilities, she wasn't that worried. Besides, the vehicle didn't hit Ling Xi in the end, did it?
Wait, speaking of which... if Ling Xi had been crippled, would she have been able to support him for the rest of her life? Mmmph...
What a shame, he wasn't hit...
Super missed opportunity!.jpg
Chapter 52: Klein, it's all thanks to me!
"Seele..."
Ling Xi patted Seele's back, signaling for her to get down. After all, doing this on the street was inappropriate behavior!
"Hmph..."
Seele pouted, but she still obediently got off Ling Xi. She was still looking at Ling Xi, seemingly checking if he was injured!
"Friend, I won't forget that you saved Rin. However..."
Sakura scratched her head and said seriously, "We don't have anything we can offer you in return. So... in the future, if you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Although Sakura wanted to thank him, she truly had nothing valuable to give. Therefore, the only thing she could offer Ling Xi in gratitude was herself. Of course, she didn't mean her body, but... her power!
As she spoke, Sakura took out a pen and paper, wrote down a phone number, and handed it to Ling Xi with a smile. "This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can call me. I'll do my best to help!"
Ling Xi: "..."
Is this... the promise of the future Fused Warrior Sakura? This is a huge win!
But the way she said it felt a little strange, like something illegal!
So, may I ask Teacher Luo, if I accept Sakura's offer and make a request, and she doesn't refuse, and there's no monetary transaction, then... would I be committing a crime?
Also, if I accept, but I don't want Sakura, but instead want Rin, then would I be...
"I'm sorry, it might be too humble."
Seeing that Ling Xi hadn't taken her contact information for a while, Sakura looked a little embarrassed.
"Not at all!"
Ling Xi snapped back to reality at this moment, smiled, and took the contact information from Sakura's hand. He chuckled, "Putting other things aside, I'm always happy to receive a beautiful girl's contact information. I think... we'll meet again in the future!"
"Yes, let's meet again if fate allows."
Sakura also smiled at Ling Xi, then gently stroked Rin's head. "Rin, it's time to say goodbye!"
"Goodbye, nice guy brother!"
Rin also happily said goodbye to Ling Xi!
"Uh..."
Ling Xi didn't know how to react for a moment. Is this... a friend zone?
"Well, goodbye, Rin. Don't run through red lights again, okay?"
Ling Xi smiled helplessly and waved goodbye to them!
"Sigh..."
After they left, Ling Xi turned to call Seele and Mobius to go shopping with him, but...
He was met with their questioning gazes...
"Ling Xi, that girl just now, she was very beautiful, wasn't she!"
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a smile.
"Mm, she's really beautiful. Also, stop staring, she's already gone."
Seele nodded silently, also smiling as she stared at Ling Xi!
"..."
Facing their murderous gazes, Ling Xi said softly, "What if I told you I didn't get her contact information just because she was pretty, would you believe me?"
"Oh?"
Mobius smiled faintly, "Then... what was the reason? Would you care to tell us?"
"Mm-hmm..."
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "She... she's that girl named Sakura. She'll be a very important person in the future. I can tell, her future achievements will definitely not be low!"
Ling Xi naturally didn't dare to tell the truth. After all, the fact that Sakura would become a Fused Warrior in the future was something only he knew for now!
Of course, Ling Xi's words only earned him two eye-rolls. Who would believe such a thing?
"Haaah..."
A moment later, Seele yawned and said, "Ling Xi, I'm a bit sleepy. I want to go back and rest."
"Is that so?"
Ling Xi checked the time. It was already 10:30 PM, indeed not early.
"Seele, Mobius, let's take a taxi back. We can go back to school and our workplace along the way!"
Ling Xi glanced at the two, seemingly seeking their opinion.
"Haaah... Mm, okay!"
Seele just yawned. She had played too late today. Normally, she would have been asleep by this time!
"No problem, let's do that."
Mobius also nodded, not saying much. Although she did feel that there was a small issue between Ling Xi and Seele, she didn't want to waste any more time now. It was better to go back early, after all...
She still had many things she wanted to discuss with Ling Xi privately!
In the end, the three took a taxi together. They first dropped Seele off at Senba Academy, and then they both returned to the institute...
"Doctor, Ling Xi, welcome back."
In the institute, upon seeing Ling Xi and Mobius return, Klein immediately went up to them, smiling as she looked at the two, asking, "How was it? Did you enjoy Ms. Eden's concert?"
"Mm, it was very enjoyable, thank you, Klein!"
Mobius leaned closer to Klein and patted her head, saying happily, "If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a perfect concert tonight."
"You're welcome, Doctor. It's what I should do!"
Seeing that Mobius seemed genuinely happy, Klein felt very proud and relieved. Finally, with her efforts, there was some progress between Ling Xi and the Doctor. After tonight's date, their relationship should have progressed further!
Ling Xi: "..." If it weren't for the fact that you helped me grab the tickets, I would definitely pin you to the ground and rub you hard!
"Ling Xi."
Mobius called out to Ling Xi and said with a smile, "Come to the lab with me. I have something to discuss with you."
After speaking, Mobius smiled at Ling Xi and then led the way into Laboratory No. 3. As for whether Ling Xi would come... there was no need to worry!
Unless Ling Xi planned to run away overnight, he had to come!
Ling Xi: "..."
"Got it, Doctor!"
To this, Ling Xi could only respond with a helpless tone. The Doctor had invited him, so he had to go. He hoped... it wouldn't be anything serious!
"Ling Xi."
After Mobius entered the laboratory, Klein curiously leaned in front of Ling Xi and said with a smile, "I see the Doctor seems to be in a good mood. Tonight's harvest should be pretty good, right!"
"Mm, it was alright. Thanks, Klein."
Ling Xi took a deep breath and looked at Klein with some helplessness. After all, from a rational and ideal perspective, this matter couldn't be blamed on Klein. Moreover, the tickets were still obtained with Klein's help. And tonight's situation...
Forget it, forget it. At least it wasn't a complete loss to treat Mobius to a concert. It could be considered... letting her relax.
"You're welcome."
Klein also nodded with a smile and said, "If you need help next time, just ask me. And I'll still keep it a secret for you!"
Ling Xi: "..." I don't believe you! Do you know what your Doctor said this afternoon?
She said with an extremely proud tone, "Klein told me everything!"
"Mm, I will. Thank you!"
Even so, Ling Xi did not refuse, nodding in agreement. Of course, it was only a surface-level agreement. After all... if I ask Klein for help again in the future, I'll be a dog!
Chapter 53: Snake Snake Initiated an Attack!
"Ling Xi, you're here."
The moment Ling Xi walked into Mobius's laboratory, he found his doctor smiling at him.
"Doctor, what's up so late?"
Ling Xi cautiously inquired about Mobius's intentions, though he had a rough idea why she had called him over.
"Nothing much, just wanted to chat,"
Mobius smiled at Ling Xi, then gestured to a chair. "Sit down, let's talk."
"Okay..."
Ling Xi didn't refuse, pulling over a chair and sitting next to Mobius.
"First, I'd like to ask, Seele..."
Mobius chuckled, "How long have you two known each other?"
Ling Xi: "..." I knew it...
"Mmmph..."
Ling Xi stroked his chin in thought and replied with a smile, "About... a week or so."
Mobius: "..." Your relationship got this good in just a week? Are you kidding me?
But then again, she had only known Ling Xi for about a week too, and their relationship was quite good now.
Hmm... Thinking this, Mobius didn't doubt Ling Xi's words. After all, for some reason, this guy always managed to attract attention inexplicably.
"So, what's your relationship with her?"
Mobius directly asked the crucial question. After tonight's concert, she could clearly sense that Ling Xi and Seele were definitely not just ordinary classmates!
"That..."
