"Ahem!" Dai Mubai said in a roundabout way, "I just... I didn't quite understand something you said earlier, and I wanted to ask about it."
Earlier?
Zhuge Lan had said so much; who knew which sentence Dai Mubai was referring to?
Get out of here with your riddles.
He ignored Dai Mubai and looked directly at Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"I was wrong," Xiao Wu quickly said, "Really, thank you so much for helping Xiao San drive away that idiot. Please, help Xiao San!"
Her attitude was on point.
Just then,
"Xiao San," Zhuge Lan raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to have Xiao Wu speak for you on your own matters?"
[Emotion Point +15155]
Tang San, his face deathly pale, forced a bitter smile.
So, it was because of this.
That's why he was left behind, wasn't it?
Indeed...
"It's my fault," Tang San's voice was hoarse, "My mind was a mess at the time, and I couldn't immediately..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Zhuge Lan raised a hand to stop him, looking displeased.
"From the way you're talking, am I the one at fault for giving you advice?"
Tang San was taken aback.
Was my tone that obvious?
"No! Absolutely not!" he said firmly. "Lan-ge, you must have misunderstood. I'm still grateful to you; how could I blame you?"
"Yeah, Lan-ge, you're overthinking it," Xiao Wu chimed in.
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
"Just consider it me overthinking things."
"I'm a bit tired today. Let's come back tomorrow."
Before Tang San could say anything else.
Zhuge Lan greeted Zhu Zhuqing and led the way into the dormitory.
— Let's leave that little runt hanging for a while, and farm some…
[Emotion Points +99999]
Tang San's face twitched unnaturally a few times.
He could no longer maintain his pretense, and his expression turned completely grim.
Seriously!
He had already apologized, so what more did they want?
Did he have to get down on his knees? That sour expression was clearly visible to everyone.
"Is this how you ask for help?" Ning Rongrong said, disgusted. "Anyone would think you were owed something."
Xiao Wu also looked over with a complaint.
What's wrong with you today?
But the person she loved, she had to protect, even if it meant swallowing her complaints.
She could only defend him, "Tang San has been through too much today, he's a bit out of it. He'll be fine tomorrow."
She helped Tang San up.
"Big brother, let me take you back first. We can come back tomorrow."
Tang San nodded in agreement, leaning on Xiao Wu as they left.
Ma Hongjun shook his head, watching the scene.
"Tang San really has no EQ. Is it that hard to lower his head and say a few nice words?"
He was met with a chorus of surprised glances.
You, Ma Hongjun, saying someone else has no EQ? Are you even qualified to say that?
Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing about to enter the room.
He quickly stepped forward to block her.
"Zhuqing..."
"We're not that close!" Zhu Zhuqing said without a hint of politeness.
Dai Mubai choked.
He changed his wording.
"Zhu Zhuqing, can I talk to Zhuge for a bit first?"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't reply, instead looking towards the room.
She knew Zhuge Lan had definitely heard.
"Let him in."
Dai Mubai smiled upon hearing this.
He gave Zhu Zhuqing a friendly nod, not minding the cold face he received in return.
Stepping into the dorm, Dai Weisi entered.
Zhuge Lan sat cross-legged on the bed, appearing to be cultivating.
"Cut the crap. I don't like guessing," Zhuge Lan said casually.
If it weren't for Dai Mubai constantly getting worked up, he wouldn't have bothered letting him in.
Dai Mubai wasn't offended.
What was the other person's status, and what was his? It was only natural.
"Zhuge."
"I just wanted to ask..."
"What did you mean by 'Title Douluo' earlier?"
"That means..."
He hesitated, carefully choosing his words.
Zhuge Lan understood.
So that's what this was about.
Perfect.
He had just exchanged for the Sunflower Manual, and he'd see if he could get another fifth of its value from Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai steeled himself, and confidently said, "Are you saying I have the potential to become a Title Douluo?"
Zhuge Lan: (￣▽￣) Huh? Who gave you this mysterious self-confidence?
"You really dare to dream."
Zhuge Lan complained— "With you, surrounded by women, indulging in wealth, beauty, alcohol, and arrogance, what makes you so confident?"
[Mood Points +23333]
Dai Mubai scratched his head in embarrassment.
Did he misunderstand?
But he immediately understood that Zhuge Lan was hinting at him.
He immediately stated—
"It's because I saw no hope that I fell and numbed myself."
"If there's a chance to overthrow him, my brother Dai Weisi, I can quit everything starting now!"
"And pay any price for it!"
[Emotion Points +190,000]
Oh? Is he really that determined?
Uncertain, let's test him.
"Are you sure you can give up women?"
Dai Mubai nodded without hesitation.
"As long as I can reclaim everything, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Alright!
"That's what you said."
Zhuge Lan said with a smile,
"I was following Yu Xiaogang just now, planning to settle some scores again."
"But something unexpected happened, and I got a manual from him."
"In terms of cultivation speed, even compared to the one I'm currently cultivating, it's only slightly inferior."
"The key is that it doesn't depend on talent. As long as you're willing to pay a certain price, Title Douluo is just the beginning, and even a level 99 demigod is possible."
"Do you want to try it?"
[Emotion Points +110,000]
Dai Mubai's breathing was heavy.
A cultivation technique comparable to Zhuge Lan's?
He didn't care about Yu Xiaogang anymore; how could he possibly have a technique like that?
He immediately bowed ninety degrees.
"Please, Brother Lan, teach me!"
"I have nothing now, only myself!"
"But when I regain the imperial power in the future, the Star Luo Empire will be at your service!"
"I can make you the Imperial Preceptor!"
"And your family will be the official religion of the Star Luo Empire!"
Dai Mubai was offering everything he could.
He looked at Zhuge Lan expectantly, waiting for his answer.
But…
Zhuge Lan sneered.
"That's quite a calculation you've made."
"I give you the manual, and I bring my family to work for your empire?"
"You've completely won the lottery!"
Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.
Did he really think that? Thinking about it...
The Spirit Hall, with its god-level spirit, had dominated the continent for tens of thousands of years.
Even though the Angel God hadn't shown their power in ten thousand years.
Zhuge Lan's family had a total of four gods!
Would they even care about his measly Star Luo Empire? [Emotion Points +110,000]
So...
What he'd always craved was insignificant in their eyes…
Dai Mubai quickly adjusted his mindset, wanting to explain his position…
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration! Attitude?
He thought of Tang San.
He also "couldn't pay the price," and what happened? He became sworn brothers, and the problem was solved.
Later, it was also because his attitude wasn't right, which displeased Zhuge Lan, and that's how he ended up in this situation.
He understood again!
What status, what benefits.
In Zhuge Lan's eyes, nothing was as important as his own happiness.
How about…
Give it a try?
"Brother Lan!"
Dai Mubai spoke sincerely—
"Today, I, Dai Mubai, acknowledge you as my brother. From now on, if you say who to beat, I'll beat them until they don't even recognize themselves!"
Hey!
Zhuge Lan looked at Dai Mubai with surprise.
Kid, you're catching on quickly!
So…
Zhuge Lan pulled out the Sunflower Manual and tossed it to Dai Mubai.
He sat back, waiting to see his reaction.
What would it be like?
Anticipation!
Would the new system prompts feel off?
Do you all want to keep them, or go back to the previous ones?
