Sister Erlong Was Won Over
Upon hearing the notification that the level was cleared, Liu Erlong's legs went weak, and she sat down directly on the lawn.
Then she leaned back and lay down.
The grass on the lawn was soft, clinging to her back.
She stared at the sky, panting heavily. Her heart was still pounding, her ears were ringing, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
The moon-white short-sleeved shirt clung tightly to her body, the light gray silk ribbon loosened considerably, revealing a section of fair skin at her waist.
Her dark long dress was covered in mud and grass clippings, and her once-tied bun had long since come undone, her long, dark brown hair lying on the grass.
She smiled.
The corners of his mouth were turned up, and he couldn't suppress it.
I'm level 80 now.
Liu Erlong closed his eyes and sensed the changes within his body. His Soul Power surged through his meridians, becoming a full layer thicker than before. That feeling of fullness, that exhilaration after breaking through the bottleneck, flowed from the top of his head all the way to the soles of his feet.
She's been stuck at level 79 for almost a year. She meditates and cultivates every day, but her progress is so slow it's almost despairing.
Now, a game has solved the problem.
Qin Chuan walked over and prepared to sit down next to her.
His foot stepped on a piece of vine that had been blown off by the explosion. Not paying attention, he stumbled and fell forward.
As soon as Liu Erlong opened her eyes, she saw Qin Chuan's face looming closer to her.
The two people were face to face, their noses almost touching.
Qin Chuan's breath brushed against her face, warm and gentle.
Liu Erlong's face flushed instantly, from the base of her neck all the way to the tips of her ears.
Qin Chuan propped himself up on his arms and looked down at her.
"Huh, you've changed."
"Oh, no." Liu Erlong sat up abruptly, almost bumping her head against Qin Chuan.
She hurriedly gathered her loose hair and re-tied it into a bun. Her fingers moved through the hair three times faster than usual.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "No need, I'm logging out of the game right away."
The countdown numbers were jumping on the panel.
Ten, nine, eight.
The light receded, the lawn vanished, the hut disappeared, and all the remains of the plants and Soul Beast vanished.
The two left the room and went to the lounge on the second floor.
Qin Chuan poured himself a cup of tea and then poured one for Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong took the teacup and took a sip. The warm tea slid down his throat, and his tense body finally relaxed.
Qin Chuan sat opposite her, watching her.
"Sister Liu, do you still stand by what you said? You promised me everything as long as it doesn't violate the laws of the Empire."
Liu Erlong put down his teacup and nodded.
"Calculate."
Qin Chuan said directly, "I want you to marry me."
The teacup nearly slipped from Liu Erlong's hands.
"Wh... what?"
"This doesn't violate imperial law, does it?"
Liu Erlong's mind raced for a moment, then he opened his mouth.
"No... it won't violate my wishes."
"That's fine then."
Qin Chuan stood up, walked up to her, bent down, and gently touched her lips.
Liu Erlong froze.
Qin Chuan straightened up, smiled, and said, "You're so beautiful and so strong, who wouldn't like you? I'm only level 62 right now, Sister Liu, please protect me from now on."
Liu Erlong's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode.
She had never been confessed to so directly in her life.
The last time she developed feelings for a man, it was because she took the initiative. She was attracted to Yu Xiaogang's scholarship and theories, and took the initiative to approach him and confess her feelings. As a result, God played a huge joke on her.
Now, a knowledgeable, capable young man who plays games better than anyone else confesses his love to himself and even kisses him.
Liu Erlong's earlobes were so hot they could be used to fry an egg.
But she didn't agree immediately.
"This is a big deal. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Okay." Qin Chuan took a step back and sat back down in his chair.
Liu Erlong took a deep breath and suppressed his surging emotions.
She looked up at Qin Chuan and decided to clarify another matter first.
"Actually, my real name is Liu Erlong, and I'm the vice dean of the Shrek Academy."
When she said those words, she was thinking, "Now that you know who I am, you'll probably back down." How could the head of a Game Hall at the Spirit Hall possibly marry the vice-principal of the Shrek Academy?
Qin Chuan paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled, "Oh, that's great, then you must marry me."
Liu Erlong: "..."
Her mind went blank for two seconds.
This reaction was completely unexpected.
Qin Chuan continued, "At that time, I can also open a branch of the Game Hall at the Shrek Academy, and you can help run it."
Liu Erlong's heart started racing again.
A branch of the Game Hall located within the Shrek Academy?
She quickly did some mental calculations. If all the students at Shrek could improve their skills by playing games like she did today, the academy's overall level would skyrocket in a short period of time.
This is fantastic news for Shrek.
"Hmm, that's a good idea," Liu Erlong nodded, "But I need to go back and convince everyone."
Qin Chuan nodded. "The main thing is to persuade the theoretical Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang."
Liu Erlong glanced at him. He even knew that.
"Yes."
"That's very simple."
Qin Chuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which three questions were written.
"If Yu Xiaogang objects, give this to him. If he can solve these three problems in half a day, then go with his idea. Otherwise, you have to agree."
Liu Erlong took the paper and looked down at it.
Question 1: Given a right triangle with legs of length three and four, find the length of the hypotenuse.
Question 2: Given that the radius of the circle is 5, find the circumference of the circle.
Question 3: There are two cities on one side of the Star Dou River. A dock needs to be built on the riverbank. Where should the dock be located to minimize the total distance to both cities?
Liu Erlong stared at it for a long time, but couldn't understand a single word.
What is a right triangle? What is the radius? What is the perimeter? Where should a dock be located to minimize the total distance?
She had never encountered these concepts before.
She found these three questions terrifyingly profound.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Liu Erlong folded the paper and put it into his sleeve.
Qin Chuan nodded. "Okay, look, you're already level 80. You've really made a killing on this trip."
Liu Erlong's lips curled up; he had indeed made a fortune.
"So, you need to think about that thing I brought up as soon as possible," Qin Chuan added.
Liu Erlong nodded and turned to walk downstairs.
Her heart pounded all the way out of the Game Hall hall, all the way onto the main street of Spirit City, and all the way until she hired a carriage to head towards Heaven Dou City.
The next morning, in Heaven Dou City, at the Shrek Academy.
Liu Erlong barely slept all night.
She thought about it all night long and finally figured it out.
Going from level 79 to level 80 takes only one day.
one day.
She had taught at Shrek for so many years and had seen countless students struggle to train. It would take more than half a year to go from level 40 to level 41. From level 70 onwards, each level up was measured in years.
Qin Chuan's Game Hall, however, can be set up in a day.
If all Shrek Academy students could train in this way, how would the academy's strength change?
Liu Erlong became more and more excited as she thought about it. She got up before dawn, washed her face, changed her clothes, and went straight to the conference room.
In her capacity as vice dean, she convened a meeting of all faculty and staff of the college.
There were about a dozen people sitting in the conference room.
Flender sat beside the head of the table, holding a teacup, his expression indifferent.
Yu Xiaogang sat opposite Flender, flipping through a notebook in his hand.
Zhao Wuji leaned back in his chair, arms crossed.
Several other ordinary teachers sat on either side.
