CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91, THREE WOMEN IN ONE PLAY_1

After waiting for a while, Wang Gang finally opened the door. Seeing Wang Gang’s disheveled appearance and the obvious wounds on his face, Jiang Chen asked, "What happened to you?"

"It’s nothing. I just got into a fight."

"With whom?"

"Some guys from the Radiant Legion."

Jiang Chen took out a cigarette and handed one to Wang Gang. He then walked in, took a drag, and said, "Tell me about it. We came here together as brothers. If someone bullies you, I won’t stand by and do nothing."

Wang Gang smoked, then began to recount what happened.

After separating from Jiang Chen, Wang Gang had followed four others into the Wild Boar Forest for training. The five of them teamed up to fight monsters and level up. Unexpectedly, their luck skyrocketed, and they encountered the Wild Boar Boss.

The five of them fought desperately and finally managed to kill the Wild Boar Boss. As luck would have it, a piece of Silver-grade equipment dropped.

The group planned to sell the equipment and split the profits. However, they ran into people from the Radiant Legion, who, without a second word, demanded Wang Gang and his group hand over the equipment.

Wang Gang, being stubborn, refused to give it up, which led to a conflict with members of the Flaming Legion. The outcome was predictable; at Level 20, how could he possibly contend with them? Naturally, he was taught a harsh lesson.

Jiang Chen listened quietly, looked at Wang Gang, and advised, "Fatty, you need to change your attitude, especially here at Shenlong Academy. Everyone is SS Class. If you can’t beat them, just hand over the equipment. Otherwise, you’ll always be the one losing out."

"You’re lucky they didn’t kill you; otherwise, I wouldn’t be seeing you today. In the wilderness, strength is everything. Even if they had killed you, they wouldn’t face any punishment. That’s just how ruthless it is out here."

Wang Gang nodded. "I understand. I just couldn’t stomach being pushed around like that."

"Even if you can’t stomach it, you have to endure it for now. Focus on leveling up like crazy, and then you can get your revenge. Otherwise, with your temper, you’re bound to suffer sooner or later."

Wang Gang took a deep drag from his cigarette, clearly understanding that Jiang Chen was looking out for him.

The relaxed life of his final year of high school was truly over. He had entered the real world, the battlefield, where one’s life constantly hung by a thread.

Jiang Chen asked, "What level are you now?"

"Level 20."

Jiang Chen frowned. "Only Level 20?"

"Boss, I’ve been working really hard! I fight monsters to level up every day without slacking off. Reaching Level 20 is actually pretty good. Most of our classmates are maintaining a pace of about one level every two days."

Jiang Chen mused, Well... alright, it seems I’ve been leveling too fast. Come to think of it, after today’s killing spree, I gained 4 levels. Who could possibly keep up with such terrifying speed?

"Boss, what level are you?"

"29."

Wang Gang’s face registered his shock. "Level 29? Boss, how did you level up so quickly?"

"Just breezed through a few challenges, and there you have it."

Wang Gang was speechless. Damn, ’just breezed through a few challenges’? He had originally wanted to level up quickly to keep pace with Jiang Chen, but now it seemed utterly impossible. The gap would only grow wider.

Jiang Chen said, "There are two days left until the Alliance War, which lasts for ten days. During that time, don’t worry about anything else. Just focus on reaching Level 25. You absolutely must reach Level 25, and then I’ll bring you along."

"Wouldn’t I just be dragging you down?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "You’ll level up faster with me. We’re brothers—we were in the past, and we will be in the future. Between brothers, there’s no need for such words."

Wang Gang was touched. "Boss, I understand."

"Good that you understand. What was the name of the guy who robbed you of your equipment?"

"Liu Gang."

"Damn it, why do you both have ’Gang’ in your names? No wonder you clashed. I’ll settle this score for you."

"No need, Boss. I’ve remembered him. I’ll get my revenge myself next time."

Jiang Chen nodded. "That’s the spirit. I was worried that after being beaten, you’d lose all motivation. If that happened, not even a God could help you."

"What’s a God?"

"Alright, get some rest. Remember, after the Alliance War ends, you must reach Level 25 as quickly as possible to qualify to follow me. Otherwise, even I won’t be able to help you."

Wang Gang nodded. "I understand."

"Good. Rest well."

Jiang Chen returned to his room, ready for bed. Just as he was about to sleep, he saw new messages in the Legion chat.

Caroline: Little Brother Jiang Chen is here! That’s great! I knew you’d join the Legion! Are you there, little brother? Stick with Big Sis from now on, and I’ll make sure you get all the perks. I’ve got everything prepared for you!

Xueli: You hussy, he’s already taken! Can’t you see? Didn’t you notice another woman has joined the Legion?

Muriel: Our little brother is back! I wanted him to get a feel for me, but he went and got a feel for someone else instead. So disappointing...

Hanna: Stop sending this nonsense! We have a man in the Legion now, so everyone, be more proper. No more of these risqué messages!

Caroline: The Boss is disappointed too, huh? Well, if you can’t win his heart, getting his body is still something, right?

Muriel: I wonder how she compares to me... who’s bigger?

Xueli: She’s taller than you, slimmer than you, prettier than you... and yes, bigger than you.

Caroline: If you’re short, admit it! If you stand firm, you’re just asking for a beating! How can someone so short even exist in this world? I seriously suspect Muriel is from the Dwarf Clan.

Xueli: I couldn’t agree more.

Muriel: I know you’re all just jealous of me...

Angelina: Hello, Big Sisters.

Jiang Chen laughed. As the saying goes, three women make a drama. They’re so energetic, chatting away in the middle of the night. When women chat, it’s about men; when men chat, it’s about women. How are the women in this Different World even more desperate than the men?

Caroline: Everyone, block Jiang Chen! Don’t let him see these messages!

Muriel: Agreed!

Xueli: Good idea! He’s definitely hiding in bed, secretly reading this.

Damn... they even figured that out.

After they blocked Jiang Chen, he couldn’t receive any more messages.

Jiang Chen shook his head and decided to just sleep.

「The next morning.」

「In the Dean’s Office.」

Zhang Wencheng was smoking, looking at Jiang Chen’s Badge. "You’re representing the Dark Legion in the Alliance War?"

"Yes."

"Actually, my intention was for you to support Black Phoenix. She’s this term’s Alliance Commander, and with her talent, securing third place should be no trouble. With your help, she might even take first. You know, our Dragon Zone Union hasn’t won first place in a long time."

Jiang Chen pulled out a cigarette and offered one to the Dean.

The Dean accepted it, looking somewhat dumbfounded.

Zhang Wencheng then scolded, "At such a young age, you’ve already picked up smoking? And you even dare to offer me one! Your audacity is growing by the day!"

After saying that, he quietly took out a lighter... This cigarette isn’t bad.

Jiang Chen smiled. "I won’t be supporting anyone."

Zhang Wencheng said, "Do you have any idea how many people participate in the Alliance War? A hundred thousand! A full hundred thousand! You think this is child’s play? A war with a hundred thousand participants! How could you possibly win first place without teammates to support you?"

"A hundred thousand? That’s nothing," Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly.

Does he even realize who’s standing before him? The Dean of the top academy in the Dragon Zone! Zhang Wencheng fumed internally. This damned brat, showing off right in my face!

A hundred thousand? That’s nothing. If I put on a Level 30 Diamond Suit and wield a Level 20 Weapon, it’ll be a massacre. No one can withstand Sword Qi amplified a hundredfold.
