Chapter 12: Ellie the Thief
As soon as Chen Rui returned to the activity room, a little brown-haired boy rushed over, and he shouted, "Ari, save me!"
The little boy ran to Chenrui, his hands on the ground, and gasped for breath. "Abby, what's wrong with you?" Chenrui recognized the little boy, one of his few friends, named "Abby." "It's also a cultivator of Jin Xuanqi, and his grades are average, just reaching the passing line.
Before Chen Rui could help Abby. The tall, fat man "Roma" ran over and grabbed Abby.
Abby scurried forward very flexibly, hid behind Chenrui, pointed at Chenrui and said, "This is my boss, Chenrui, who ranks first in attack power." If you come over again, the boss will punch you in the stomach. ”
Rom glanced at Chenrui, "Boy, get out of the way, it's none of your business." The little villain behind you stole my cake. ”
Chen Rui glanced back at Abby, who hurriedly said, "I didn't steal your cake." When did you see me stealing your cake?"
Röm stepped forward, "Slit your stinky boy's belly and see, and you'll know." ”
Chen Rui hurriedly stopped Rohm, "He is my brother, he said that if he didn't steal food, he didn't steal food." And even if you eat it secretly, since you have already eaten it, you will naturally not be able to exchange it for you. Chen Rui didn't know if Abby had stolen the cake, but in this Tzu Chi Hall, it was normal to steal chickens and dogs. Now that he has the ability to protect his friends, he naturally has to come forward.
Röm glanced at Chenrui in surprise. Chen Rui played the highest score in this year's students this morning, and he naturally heard about it. But looking at Chen Rui's thin body, it still makes him hard to believe that Chen Rui is really so powerful.
Röm yelled, "Fanged Boar Fist." The chubby fist with a golden Xuan Qi bonus, a left hook punch hit Chen Rui's face.
Chen Rui was taken aback, although his attack power is very strong, but he lacks actual combat experience, he didn't expect this Rom to punch when he said it. Chen Rui hurriedly threw his head back, and his fist flew over his jaw.
Rom's right hand punched again. At this time, Chen Rui's hands flew, and a turtle shell emerged from his hand. This is the human rank of the lower grade of the exercise "turtle shield", as long as three fingerings can complete the seal, although the defense area is small, the defense strength is not large, but in an emergency, its speed advantage is reflected.
Rom's right straight fist was extremely powerful, and with the blessing of Jin Xuanqi, he directly attacked the turtle shell formed by the same Jin Xuanqi. But its speed and power were reduced in an instant.
Chen Rui hugged the ring in both hands, and the golden Xuan Qi flickered in his fingers to form a semi-circular arc, catching Rom's right hand straight fist. Chen Rui took two steps back, completely unloading Rom's fist.
Rohm's attack power is still very strong. Roma cultivates Jin Xuanqi and takes the knightly route. In combat, knights are known for their defensive power. Rohm's most effective defense method is the "thick leather shield". This is a human-level mid-grade exercise, which can make the attack power of one hundred to two hundred catties ineffective, and it lasts for up to ten seconds. In addition, Roma is obese, so it has a certain elastic resistance.
Röm saw that the blow was not heavy, and he was reluctant to strike again. According to the rules of Tzu Chi Hall, students are not allowed to fight each other. Therefore, if Rohm makes another move, it is likely to attract the interference of the instructors. He had already seen the instructor Ma Bin not far away walking towards this direction.
"It's good, we'll see. Rohm reluctantly said a word, and turned away.
Seeing Rohm walking away, Abby pulled Chenrui and said happily, "Kerry told me in the morning that you won the first place, and I didn't believe it at first." So you're really so powerful now. You're going to cover me, big brother. ”
Abby's strength is not strong, and the test has just reached the passing line. However, he is nimble, especially with the awakened ability "hidden". This ability can be used to achieve invisibility by releasing the golden energy in the body to form a cloak that can refract light outside the body. However, due to Abby's low cultivation, he can only be invisible for about ten seconds at present.
Abby often uses this ability to steal from other students, and even peeks at female students taking a shower.
Chen Rui was quite contemptuous of this. However, Abby argues that he doesn't have the skills to earn rewards and rankings in gambling battles, and if he doesn't use this ability to get something, how can he survive?
Chen Rui thinks about it, this is also the truth, in this society of the jungle, in the past, it was all about survival? Ellie is a good friend, and after Grandma Bess died, Chenrui had no other food source, and Ellie would give him a share every time he succeeded. Chen Rui naturally didn't want to say anything more.
"That dead fat man, relying on his good results in gambling, eats things after getting them. I stole a cake from him to help him lose weight. Alley said hatefully.
"Didn't you say that you keep your word and never lie, and you just said that you didn't steal Roma's cake. Chen Rui asked puzzled.
"I'm talking about not stealing it, I did, I haven't eaten it. Leave it to you, Boss. Kerry said you got the first place in the exam. To celebrate, I thought of Roma's cake. Now the cake is with Kerry, and he's still waiting for us. Abby pulled Chenrui and hopped towards Kerry's capsule hut.
"To celebrate Chenrui's passing the test and winning the first place in his grade, I propose that we raise a glass together and drink the wine. Kerry raised his glass in delight. The cup is not big, and it is usually used for brushing teeth. Kerry somewhere got three glasses, as well as a bottle of Chilu brand ale. Although the wine has a slightly bitter taste, and the degree is only 10 degrees, it is already considered a high-end drink in the eyes of the students in Tzu Chi Hall.
The three good friends happily raised their glasses, and the "bang" collision sounded, and everyone drank it all.
"There's also a small half bottle, let's divide it. Kerry picked up the bottle and poured it into Chenrui's glass.
"No, I don't want it. I feel a little sick to my stomach. If you drink it again, you will vomit. Chen Rui drank a little violently just now, and his fair face became red.
"Rest and drink again. Or save it for the next time. Avery discouraged.
"But when the wine is opened, it doesn't taste good when you drink it again. Pour a little less for you. You drink slowly. Let's eat something first. Kerry grasped it properly, poured a little bit for Chenrui, and poured the rest of the wine into Ellie's cup.
"Why are they all poured to me? Ai covered the mouth of the cup with his hand.
"You can drink it, we all know it. What else is polite in front of us. Kerry removed Eli's hand and continued to pour the wine.
Although Chen Rui's stomach is a little uncomfortable, he is very comfortable in his heart. It's been a long time since I've been this happy. He still remembers drinking for the first time when he was eight years old. That time it was Ale that Eli stole from the faculty cafeteria, and it was only half a bottle. He and Kerry only took one sip, and the rest was drunk by Elli. Avery likes to drink, and wine has a relationship with him. It was that time after he drank and fell asleep, his ability was awakened.
Avery says he likes the feeling of being drunk because it can make him forget about his surroundings. Eli was able to manipulate Xuan Qi at the age of seven, but he hadn't made much progress over the years, and he had just passed.
Chen Rui thought that Ai Li was very talented in Xuan Qi cultivation, and once persuaded him to cultivate hard. But Eli asked rhetorically, what is the use of cultivating so powerful? Kill or be killed. For whom? Emperor or Holy See.
Chen Rui has never thought of such a philosophical proposition, and he has not passed the test until today.
"If only Lily were here, she could drink too. Ellie seemed to have drunk a little too much, and he mentioned Lily. In the past, Lily used to hang out with them a lot. But since Lily was ten years old, she gradually distanced herself from them. But it seems that there is still a relationship with Ellie, and they sometimes drink together.
Chen Rui frowned and didn't say anything. He didn't want to mention Lily. What is already in the past, let the past pass, whether it is beautiful or sad.
"Chenrui, should we go and see Lily, she doesn't seem to be doing well right now. Kerry asked.
Chen Rui suddenly remembered that Smit Lee said that Lily was dumped by him and that she was "wheeled". I don't know if Smit Lee said it on purpose to interfere with his tests, or if it was true.
Chen Rui's heart seemed to be twisted, and he remembered that in the past, when Lily was still six or seven years old, she often chased him for biscuits to eat. What an innocent and romantic little girl. Perhaps there are some things that cannot be easily forgotten.
"Well, let's go see her and see what she needs right now. Chenrui decided to go see Lily.
The three of them came to the entrance of the group of girls' capsule cabins. The capsule hut where the girls live is the same size as the boys, but it is painted pink and looks better.
The three of them went to the reception room and checked in with the caretaker. Boys can't enter the girl's capsule hut at will, although Avery once used his ability to enter, but because the temptation was too great, he didn't return in time, and was hit in the head by the girl.
"Lily can't see you today. She lay in bed and couldn't get up. Kashia came to the three of them. Kexia cultivates the earthy energy, and usually does not need to fight and kill, but gets prizes and rankings through competitions. He is also enthusiastic.,So he was elected as the executive deputy leader of the girls' capsule cabin group.。
"Shall we go in and see her, then?" asked Ellie, concerned.
"No, she doesn't want to see you now. Nobody was seen. Kashia said. She saw Chen Rui frowning, and explained, "You also know that it is difficult for girls to look up and see people when they encounter this kind of thing. You'd better go back. Let her calm her mind a little. I thank you here for your concern. ”
Chen Rui took out the Bald Eagle Blood Replenishing Capsule from his arms and handed it to Kashia, "We don't have anything good either. This capsule may be of some use, so you can give it to her for me. ”
Kashia took the capsule, said thank you, and turned away.
"Do you know who did it, isn't it F4?" asked Kerry.
"It doesn't seem to be. F4 and there is no shortage of. Look at this. Kerry pulled a small badge from his bosom. "I asked Kashia and she said that when Lily was rescued, she had this in her hand. ”
"This is the 'Secret Path' badge. I've wanted to join the Dark Path for a long time, but they won't accept me. Avery said.
Chen Rui carefully examined this small badge, the badge was made of fine iron, and the rough shield-shaped shell was engraved with the word "dark" in Yin script.
"There are also words engraved on the back. Kerry reminded.
Chen Rui flipped the badge to the back, and engraved two words "Wolves" on the smooth glossy black surface.
