"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the competition, Young Master!"
Ning Rongrong truly only heard what she wanted to hear. All she could think about was accompanying Gu Zhi to the competition tomorrow and getting to share in the system rewards!
"Then I'll wait for your message..."
Zhu Zhuqing did not insist. She had already gained plenty from this match; next time, she would definitely give Gu Zhi a surprise.
Besides, it would not be good if her strength grew too quickly—it might make Gu Zhi suspicious. It would not matter much if he discovered the bullet comments, but she feared he would think they were deceiving him for the system rewards.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to stay by Gu Zhi's side even without system rewards!
"Here, take these. If you need to find me in the future, just use them to contact me."
As Gu Zhi spoke, he handed two rings to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. They were communication devices the system had rewarded him with earlier. He had not remembered them at first, but now he suddenly realized—the system had planned this all along!
"Damn! He's giving them rings right away? Sure, they came from the system, but who's to say this isn't Gu Zhi's little romantic gesture?"
"Baby Zhuqing, stop looking so cheap! Did one ring really buy you over?"
"Ning Rongrong accepted it way too naturally, didn't she? Could she have some strange thoughts about Gu Zhi too?"
"To the person above, let me ask you this: if Ning Rongrong treated you like that, wouldn't your heart race?"
"The person above nailed it! To Ning Rongrong, Gu Zhi is like Ning Rongrong was to the bullet comments earlier! If they switched roles, those comments would have started simping ages ago!"
"Holy shit! Now that you've explained it, I get it! Is this some kind of Long Aotian power fantasy?"
"Can I get a role for a couple of episodes too? I'll pay extra!"
"Same here!"
The bullet comments loved flooding the screen in neat formation, and this time, they had turned into four words: "Same here!"
Still, there really were plenty of sharp people in the bullet comments. Earlier, they had accurately guessed Gu Zhi's thoughts, and now they had precisely exposed Ning Rongrong's feelings as well.
Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Ning Rongrong. The way she looked at Gu Zhi was especially undisguised. Forget anything else—among the Shrek Seven Devils, how many of those people could compare to Gu Zhi?
Anyone who had seen Gu Zhi and the Strongest Deity System would have to ask: what roadside nobody was Tang San?
"Alright! He's already long gone! Tell me, can you see these bullet comments too?"
Even after Gu Zhi had vanished from sight, Ning Rongrong still reluctantly stared in the direction he had disappeared.
Zhu Zhuqing laid everything bare this time. If Ning Rongrong could not see the bullet comments, would she have appeared here by such a coincidence?
"Of course! If the bullet comments hadn't tipped me off, I wouldn't have known how amazing Gu Zhi was!"
Ning Rongrong was even more bothered by the fact that Zhu Zhuqing had gotten to share in the system rewards. Three levels of Soul Power was worth a whole year of hard cultivation, and there was so much more good stuff to come!
"Rongrong! I really like him! If you only want to share in the system rewards, I don't mind, but please don't go too far, okay?"
Zhu Zhuqing was more serious than ever. It was the first time she had spoken so bluntly about what was in her heart. It was precisely because Ning Rongrong was one of her few close friends that she did not want to give up either Gu Zhi or their friendship.
"But Zhuqing, Gu Zhi doesn't belong to anyone. He might choose you, or he might choose me, right? And according to the bullet comments, he wants to choose both of us even more! What would you do then?"
Ning Rongrong answered seriously as well, but she saw things more clearly. Giving up Gu Zhi was naturally impossible; she had even prepared herself to share Gu Zhi with Zhu Zhuqing!
"This..."
The question had clearly exceeded Zhu Zhuqing's expectations. She was not so selfless, and naturally hoped Gu Zhi would belong to her alone.
But Dai Mubai's behavior had shown her that men were usually surrounded by beautiful women. Not everyone was Tang San; she either had to accept it or give up early!
"Oh no! I seriously agree with Ning Rongrong! Gu Zhi is way too sought-after! Baby Zhuqing can't hold onto him at all!"
"So what! I came here to watch Gu Zhi build a harem anyway! Compared to those crooked-looking Shrek Seven Devils, at least Gu Zhi is handsome and powerful!"
"To be fair! Gu Zhi might be affectionate, but he definitely won't be indiscriminate! Look at Zhu Zhuqing—she's practically ready to throw herself at him, yet he's still considering things carefully. That shows he's responsible!"
"The person above is right! Even if Gu Zhi can't be completely devoted to one person, he definitely won't betray the people he loves!"
"After all that, you're still just making excuses for Gu Zhi! If he can't even be devoted to one person, what gives him the right to be the protagonist?"
"The person above is getting too worked up! In matters of love, it's only about willingness. Who can force anyone? If you can't accept it, then don't choose him!"
The bullet comments were giving her a headache, but the final statement was right. If she could not accept it, she did not have to choose him.
"Rongrong, are you really willing to share him with someone else?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked after a long silence. The two were currently on their way back to Shrek Academy, while Ning Rongrong remained in a good mood, seemingly unaffected by the bullet comments at all.
"I'm willing now. If I'm not willing in the future, I'll leave!"
Perhaps Ning Rongrong was the most clearheaded person in Shrek Academy. Or perhaps she simply acted according to her heart.
Unfortunately, Zhu Zhuqing could not learn her honesty or free-spiritedness. Once she truly made a decision, she would never regret it!
"Alright! Don't think so much about it! Right now, our priority is sharing in the system rewards! Who knows what will happen with love?"
Ning Rongrong had never forgotten her goal of sharing in the rewards. After comforting Zhu Zhuqing, she urged her to quickly take out the reward she had received and test its effects.
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled at that and hurriedly composed herself, preparing to absorb this system reward first.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhi had already returned to his hotel room. He was also preparing to absorb his system rewards.
"Another ten-level increase in Soul Power. In just one month, I've already reached level forty. On the Douluo Continent, that should make me unprecedented and unrivaled, right?"
As his Soul Power Level rose, Gu Zhi could barely contain his excitement. He was getting closer and closer to becoming the strongest deity!
"I hate this so much! He's already level forty! Tang San didn't level up this fast, did he?"
"The Soul Power Level is still manageable! But this new soul ring skill is another absurdly overpowered one! Ultimate Fire is supposed to be another protagonist's trump card, yet on Gu Zhi, it's just a basic attack?"
"Person above, if you don't want your eyes, donate them! There's way more to Gu Zhi's Ultimate Fire than that! It can't be blocked, it drains the opponent's Soul Power, stamina, mental power, and defense by percentage, and it even has fire poison and detonation effects! This mechanic is completely broken!"
"I can't even imagine how an opponent could win once this soul skill comes out. Strongest Deity System, don't go too far! Why don't you make him the Fire God while you're at it?"
Gu Zhi had only just increased his Soul Power and obtained a new soul ring skill when the bullet comments had already exposed all his secrets.
At the mention of Ultimate Fire, the beauties watching the bullet comments could no longer sit still...
