ashed it hard against their head. It didn't matter that the other person had already been bitten by an evolution failure; they were going to become a zombie anyway. It might as well be her who dealt...After that, some people came to inquire about Du Hongying's situation, but they were all dismissed with the same answer by Lianyi. Because of this incident, some thoughtful people began to fawn over and approach her subtly.

All of them were masters of their craft, doing things naturally without arousing suspicion. Even Lian Ri couldn't help but feel impressed, wondering who said that minors didn't have to shoulder any responsibility. These people approaching her with purpose must have been sent by their families.

During this period, Wu Yishan looked for Lian Yi. His words, both explicit and implicit, were meant to get her to maintain a good relationship with the Du family. Since she had taken the Du surname, everything about the Du family would also belong to him from now on.

Ripple's eyes flashed with disdain after hearing this, a sarcastic smile playing at the corners of her lips. Wu Yishan's veiled hints exposed his ambition and greed; he actually wanted to use Lian Yi to meddle in Du Family affairs.

It goes without saying that the other party's ultimate goal is obviously to target the Third Army. They are truly a greedy and insatiable person.

Ripple didn't promise anything, she just smiled and then said:

"General Wu, since you've brought back Wu Lianbo, you should teach him well and don't come to me again. You said it yourself, I now go by the name Du."

After finishing her words, she turned and left because she saw Wu Lianbo in the distance. He must have seen Wu Yishan come looking for her.

After all, Lian Yi had set Wu Yishan's video calls to be rejected, so Wu Yishan had to come in person. Because he knew that if he sent someone else, Lian Yi would definitely ignore them directly.

Wu Lianbo, who saw this scene from afar, clenched his fists. His father actually came to find his elder brother in person. It seemed that he hadn't completely given up on him. He had also heard about the news of General Du's son's accident. In this delicate situation, his father's visit to Lianyi clearly had his own purpose.

"System, we need to act quickly. Once Lian Yi is fully developed, we will be too passive."

"I know, plan ahead, you're well prepared."

Okay.

Ripples in the academy absorbed knowledge like a sponge, and before she knew it, vacation had arrived. This time, she didn't choose to return to the Du family, but instead stayed at the academy. At Hill's invitation, she went to the academy's leisure area to relax.

Four people rushed straight to the virtual battleground. This belongs to a branch of the game, focusing on realism, allowing underage students who are unable to enter the battlefield to have a taste of it. Based on network rankings, there is also a certain amount of star coin income.

However, people who enter the virtual network battlefield usually use anonymity, so there's a high chance of encountering experts, which are the real Mech Warriors or ancient martial arts masters that Hill spoke about.

As she entered the academy's recreational area, Shishi immediately reminded her:

The system is nearby, it seems they are going to make their move today.

"I'm still afraid they won't make a move! How are those three poor things doing"

The ripples walked along, asking the stone mill:

"Tsk, this system is ruthless. They had half of their talents drained from them, but they haven't noticed it yet."

"How much did the system leave Wu Lianbo"

"Thirty percent."

"They are a perfect match, both equally greedy."

The ripples chuckled coldly.

As the two conversed, ripples followed their companion into the academy's recreational area, the largest virtual gaming space. Inside, students in casual attire were everywhere, clearly here to relax.

"Hongtu, which kind do you want to play Mech combat or ancient martial arts duel"

Hill's familiarity betrayed him; he'd clearly been here more than once.

"Let's mecha battle!"

"Okay, let's team up and fight in a group battle"

Hill rubbed his slightly rounded hands and asked.

"This is my first time playing, I'm not familiar yet. Let me play a one-on-one virtual battle first to get used to it, and then I'll team up with you guys! Don't worry about me dragging you down."

Ripple smiled and said.

"It's okay"

Hill hadn't finished speaking before Kate stopped him.

"Okay, you go familiarize yourself first. The three of us will go warm up. We'll team up when you're done."

Anne tied her red hair into a bun, wearing casual clothes today. She pulled at Hill's arm and said:

"Hill, give Homage a familiar process."

The three then turned and went to the team battle area. Before leaving, they pointed out the location of the one-on-one battle zone. Ripple smiled and nodded, then turned and went there.

"Why are you stopping me Someone like Hong Tu, a genius, wouldn't even need to familiarize himself with mecha operation, would he He was already operating them smoothly during the entrance exam."

Hill directly complained.

"Stupid, she definitely has something going on. What she said just now was just an excuse. You're the only one who can't see it."

Anne was about to roll her eyes. If this guy put as much effort into thinking as he did into eating, he wouldn't ask such stupid questions.

"Oh!"

Hill chose to remain silent.

On the other side, Ripple casually chose a room and walked straight in. After checking the operation procedures, she directly selected one-on-one mode and then put on the gaming helmet, entering the game interface.

Wu Lianbo quickly chose a game cabin and entered, then waited quietly. Because the system told him that as long as the other party logged into the online game, he would connect to the other party's mind first and then quickly seize the other party's aptitude through mental power. He just had to wait to receive it.

"I understand! He just entered a single versus one game room, he should be online soon. I've already prepared the connection."

He's online now, let's begin!

The system was also eager, immediately bringing Wu Lianbo online. Then, using Wu Lianbo's psychic power, it entered the same interface as Ripple.

Ripples saw a combatant clad in silver armor. The opponent charged at her the moment she appeared, wielding a beam sword as if eager to begin the fight.

Because it was her first time playing, Ripple's stats were all zero, giving off a weakling impression. Furthermore, lacking experience points, she couldn't use many skills. The system attacked quickly, aiming to take Ripple down in one fell swoop.

In the next instant, the system detected something was wrong. The opponent wasn't engaging directly but dodging rapidly. Then, the system discovered that the host's mental power had been severed, cutting off his return path.

The system viciously charged toward the mech controlled by Ripples. Since there was no way to go back, he chose this better host. This way, he would recover faster. By relying on the chosen one's luck, he could achieve his goals more quickly. As long as he proved his abilities, he believed the other party would rely on him just like Wu Lianbo did.

The system's abacus plan was good, but unfortunately, Ripple was the tasker. Knowing what this thing was, she didn't give the other side a chance to speak at all. Her god-transformation-period divine consciousness swiftly pounced, directly trapping the opponent, and then began strangling the system's transformed light cluster.

"No"

"Stop"

"I can help you"

The system struggled to transmit the message, but ripples paid it no heed.

Half an hour later, with a "bang," as if a psychic explosion, it erupted in the virtual space. It was then immediately covered and suppressed by ripples of divine consciousness.

"Congratulations, tasker! You have eliminated the bug from this realm. The counter-attack mission is half completed. Please keep up the good work!"lade, making matters worse.Another fourth-level Gold Tier ability user seized the opportunity, their condensed golden shortsword striking with precision and cleaving the zombie's head clean off."The l...
