Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 20 My Sister Covered in Blood

Ding Yongkai instinctively stepped back, but he still refused to admit defeat verbally:

"Fine! Fine! Zhang Qingzhe, you wait... someone will deal with you!"

Zhang Qingzhe looked at the retreating figure, which resembled a drowning dog, and shook his head with a hint of helplessness.

I thought to myself, this kind of person won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.

I tried to persuade him with kind words, but it was no use at all.

Do we really have to send him to the hospital?

Wang Dong watched from a distance, hesitating whether to go forward.

Just then, a clear female voice rang out beside him.

"What happened?"

Wang Dong turned his head when he heard the sound.

The midday sun was a bit dazzling, and Gu Xintong stood in the shade of a tree a few steps away.

Her chestnut-colored long hair shimmered with a soft sheen in the sunlight.

Seeing that Wang Dong had noticed her, she unconsciously raised her chin, revealing a hint of indifference.

"Is that your friend?" Gu Xintong glanced at Wang Dong, then turned her gaze to Zhang Qingzhe in the distance.

This morning, Zhang Qingzhe didn't look at her directly, which bothered this "little princess."

"yes!"

"Is he in trouble?"

"There is a little trouble," Wang Dong replied somewhat helplessly.

"Do you need me to help mediate?" Gu Xintong said casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Wang Dong immediately smiled, "That would be perfect. To be honest, I was a little worried that my buddy would get taken advantage of."

Gu Xintong took a step forward, just about to separate the two boys.

But then they saw Ding Yongkai turn around in a panic and, like a stray dog, flee into a nearby alley.

Gu Xintong was stunned and looked at Wang Dong in confusion, "What's going on?"

Wang Dong also looked puzzled and said, "I don't know!"

When Zhang Qingzhe turned around and walked back, he still had a calm expression.

This nonchalant attitude naturally displeased Gu Xintong.

"What happened?" Wang Dong asked as he stepped forward.

"It's nothing, I just gave him a warning. Although things don't seem to be going very smoothly, it should be resolved soon."

Looking at Zhang Qingzhe's calm expression, Wang Dong was at a loss for words.

Zhang Qingzhe didn't pay much attention and walked straight back to the small restaurant.

The midday sun shone down, bathing Gu Xintong in a glow.

She crossed her arms over her ample bosom, narrowed her bright eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure flickering in the corner of her eye, and asked:

"What's wrong with this person? Has he always been like this?"

"It hasn't always been like this," Wang Dong scratched his head, "but he has indeed changed a bit recently."

"Didn't you say he only had one or two [magic paths]?" Gu Xintong frowned slightly. "But just now, he seemed very confident."

"Sigh! I was fooled by him too."

Wang Dong lowered his voice, "Until this morning, I still thought so. But when the professor was selecting apprentices, it was suddenly revealed that he had ten [magic loops]."

"Ten articles?"

Gu Xintong looked slightly surprised. "There are suddenly so many?"

Wang Dong leaned forward, a habitual little gesture he made when he wanted to tell a secret.

However, Gu Xintong took a step back, seemingly unaccustomed to being too close to boys.

Wang Dong didn't seem to care too much, he just lowered his voice even further:

"But I reckon ten is an understatement. I think he has at least twenty."

"What?!" Gu Xintong's surprise turned into disbelief. "How is this possible? How could he have created so many [magic loops] in such a short time?"

Wang Dong is a guy who really has a hard time keeping secrets.

He forgets everything as soon as he sees a beautiful woman.

"I suspect..." Wang Dong said mysteriously, "that he transplanted his sister's [Magic Circuit]."

Gu Xintong frowned, a hint of disgust flashing across her face.

"How could he be so selfish?" she asked accusingly. "Isn't this ruining his sister's future?"

Seeing that his friend had been wrongly accused, Wang Dong quickly explained:

"Xintong, you're overthinking it. His sister is a [witch], with at least several hundred [circuit ducts] in her body. Even if a few were transplanted into her brother, it wouldn't have any impact at all."

"So he has witch blood!" Gu Xintong was even more surprised, then asked, "Then why doesn't he transform into a [half-witch]? Wouldn't that have allowed him to improve his power even faster?"

"I've talked to him about it, but he doesn't seem interested."

"Is that so...?"

Gu Xintong nodded thoughtfully, then said something cryptic, "But that doesn't seem so bad. At least in the dating market, I should be quite popular."

Wang Dong was taken aback: "Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Are you stupid?" Gu Xintong glanced at him. "If he possesses the [Witch Bloodline], then the probability of his offspring producing [Witches] is very high, which is extremely attractive."

Wang Dong then suddenly realized what was happening.

Then, a surge of inexplicable jealousy welled up in his heart.

What's wrong with my brother?

Back in high school, they were inferior to me in every way.

Why is it that once you enter university, you seem like a completely different person, sprinting down the road of life?

Now, the only thing that makes Wang Dong feel a little at ease is Gu Xintong's attitude; she seems to really dislike Zhang Qingzhe's cold personality.

As for Zhang Qingzhe, he didn't seem to like Gu Xintong's arrogant and haughty temperament.

In short, it's about two people with strong personalities who don't like each other.

This is good news for Wang Dong.

***

On his way home in the evening, Zhang Qingzhe was deep in thought the whole way.

Should we continue producing AAA batteries to obtain stable profits?

Or how about taking on the challenge of the LV3 [AAA Battery]?

The No. 7 battery card requires higher precision, so he had to spend money to upgrade his tools.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Qingzhe felt that he should proceed cautiously and steadily.

First, produce a large number of [Ace Batteries], while actively saving money to buy new tools and steadily improving your [Magic Circuit].

Today, I finally had a frank conversation with Ding Yongkai, but judging from his defiant look, I'm afraid another conflict is inevitable.

He decided to make more #8 cards tonight to feed the #World Cards and increase his #MagicCircuits to thirty in one go.

Today's class selection results also show that the vast majority of people in this world are actually ordinary people.

Even after graduation, many people only have a dozen or so [magic loops].

If Zhang Qingzhe could possess thirty [magic loops], he would already surpass ninety percent of people.

Therefore, Zhang Qingzhe felt that thirty [magic loops], along with a few [battle cards], should be enough to deal with Ding Yongkai's backer.

Zhang Qingzhe walked past the young woman next door, head down in thought.

Unaware of the disappointment on the young woman's face, he gently pushed open his own door.

"I'm back."

Zhang Qingzhe greeted his sister as usual.

However, this time, instead of his sister's lazy tone, he was met with a series of "thump thump thump" footsteps.

The younger sister clutched a sharp knife in her hand, and her fair thighs were stained with glaring blood.

Her pale face was covered in tears as she ran towards him, sobbing.

Zhang Qingzhe's pupils contracted instantly.

An extremely ominous premonition suddenly gripped his heart.
