Chapter 32: Preparations for the duel
Chapter 32: Duel Preparation
After Liu Zhe returned from the academy, he immediately returned to his room and sat cross-legged on his bed, and was about to sink his mind into the opening of the redemption system.
Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock!
"Liu, Brother Liu, are you here?..."
However, just as Liu Zhe was about to open the redemption system, a panic knock came from his door, accompanied by Heidi's panic sound.
Faced with this change, Liu Zhe sat up, opened the door immediately, and saw Heidi in a panic.
When Liu Zhe saw it, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Heidi? So panicked?"
Heidi seemed to have no regard for shy things and asked in a hurry: "Liu, Brother Liu! Heidi heard that Brother Liu is going to have a life-and-death duel with others... Yes... Oh... Yes, is it true?"
Heidi's small face was full of anxiety, and she said too quickly and bit her tongue for a while, which made Heidi's eyes burst into tears.
"Huh... do you know? The news spread too quickly." Liu Zhe's eyes flashed with surprise.
This was something that happened just now. Not long after he stepped into the dormitory, Heidi immediately learned the news and rushed back. The news spread too quickly.
"Liu, Brother Liu! Yes, the other party is a level seven magician!" Heidi's small hands kept shaking in front of her chest, looking more anxious than Liu Zhe, the person involved.
"I have heard a lot about this from the students on the roadside. Don't worry, Brother Liu has his own strategy, so don't worry too much, I won't be in trouble." A hint of softness appeared in Liu Zhe's eyes. Try to make Heidi not worry about it in a relaxed tone, but in fact, whether he can deal with Wikinson is not sure about it.
"Really? Liu, Brother Liu didn't lie to Heidi?" Seeing Liu Zhe's confident expression, Heidi couldn't help but believe it a little, and she had to say that her nature was simple and innocent.
"Well, of course, so Heidi... can let go of her hands a little, right?" Liu Zhe glanced at the sleeves that were tightly grasped by Heidi and wrinkled, and smiled bitterly on her face.
As soon as Liu Zhe said, Heidi finally noticed her in a hurry. She quickly let go of Liu Zhe's sleeves, kept lowering her small head, and bowed to Liu Zhe to apologize: "Ah...ah!...yes, sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry, sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...sorry...!"
"Okay, okay, there's no need to do this. If you want to apologize, Heidi just needs to continue to help Brother Liu fill in the magic storage beads, so that you can help." Liu Zhe didn't notice at this time, and before he knew it, he actually called himself Brother Liu.
"Yes, yes! Heidi will work hard!" Heidi raised her small fists excitedly, and she had something she could do.
At this moment, there were waves of knocking on the door of 1378.
Bang! Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!
"Liu, Brother Liu..." Judging from the knocking sound, the person who came seemed very anxious, but Heidi was even more anxious at this time. She was not disguised now.
"Heidi, go back to the room and lock the door first. Brother Liu goes out to take a look." Liu Zhe said, pushing Heidi back to his room and told her to lock the door.
After doing everything, Liu Zhe walked towards the door and said, "Here's here! Who is it?"
Snap!
Liu Zhe responded to the person outside the door and opened the door lock.
As soon as he opened the door, Rex's complaining expression was imprinted into Liu Zhe's eyes.
Rex glanced at his mouth and complained, "Damn! It's me, Rex! How can you open the door so long?"
"So it's you... why are you doing knocking on the door? Can't you shout?" Liu Zhe relaxed when he saw that the person coming was Rex.
Seeing Liu Zhe's expression of peace, Rex seemed to have thought of something and said with a slutty look on his face: "Hehe, brother, could I bother you? I'm here?"
Rex smiled strangely, and his right index finger kept passing through the hole in his left hand, making a stroking position.
"It's weird if you go!" Liu Zhe jumped, and then slapped Rex's movements without saying a word, shook his shoulders weakly, not knowing where to start.
"Wow... I'm so angry!" Rex patted his chest with a frightened expression on his face.
"Isn't this your problem?" Liu Zhe was even lazy to complain and rolled his eyes directly to Rex.
"Is that true? Just do it, don't talk about this." Rex smiled awkwardly, and went straight to the topic: "Brother, I just heard someone say that you are going to duel with that guy Wikinson? And it's a life-and-death duel?"
As soon as Rex's words came out, he was indeed asking about this matter.
"Yeah, that's it." Liu Zhe shrugged and replied casually.
This time it was Rex's turn to roll his eyes. At this time, Rex said excitedly, and droplets spurted out of his mouth.
"Hey! What's that? That's it. Brother, listen, Wikinson is a level seven magician! And what about you? You're only level five, level five, level five!... Please? You're hitting the duck egg with an egg, how do you fight this!"
When Liu Zhe heard Rex's metaphor, he couldn't help but feel speechless. What does it mean to hit a duck egg with an egg? Don't most people say that an egg hits a stone? Furthermore, how harder a duck egg is than an egg?
Using his sleeves to wipe the splashed saliva on his face, Liu Zhe said disgustedly: "Suspend! Stop! Rex, can you not face me in the future? It's so dirty!"
"Hahaha! Sorry, I didn't mean it." Rex beat him up and apologized to Liu Zhe. Then he paused and said, "Wait... Isn't this time to talk about this now??"
Suddenly, Liu Zhe's face darkened and asked seriously: "I know what you want to say... To be honest, Rex, with my current strength, what is the winning rate if I have a duel with Wikinson?"
Seeing that Liu Zhe became serious, Rex took off the playfulness on his face and asked with a rare look of seriousness: "Brother, are you serious?"
Liu Zhe shrugged and said calmly: "Well, I have already made an appointment with him to duel tomorrow. Now I can't escape at the last minute, right?"
"…"
When Rex heard this, he closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment.
Immediately, Rex opened his eyes and said seriously: "Brother, it's not that I'm pouring cold water on you. With your current strength, the winning rate may not be even 100% unless..."
Rex said seriously, and at the end of the conversation, it stretched out meaningfully.
"Unless what?" Liu Zhe asked, and at the same time he secretly complained that it was still in hiding.
"Unless I'm going to beat that guy up half-dead now, so tomorrow's duel will be fine, and you can win with just a finger!" Rex smiled brightly, but he was talking about something extremely dangerous.
Although Rex said this with a smile, there was no joke in his tone. If Liu Zhe needed it, he would definitely rush to Wikinson's position now and beat him to a disabled person without saying a word.
How could Liu Zhe not hear the seriousness in Rex's tone? While he was moved, he shook his head and said, "Brother, I appreciate the kindness, but I'll solve this problem myself. Wikinson is also a Viscount, and it's easy for you to do it casually."
Liu Zhe shook his head and rejected Rex's opinion. He knew that Rex was also a civilian. Even if Rex didn't care, he still had family. In the eyes of those nobles, the lives of civilians were not worth a penny at all. Even if Rex was not afraid of him, who knew whether those people would attack Rex's family?
"You are so kind to you brothers! As long as you say one thing, I will support you to the end!" Rex hit Liu Zhe's shoulder, and the expression on his face was a little unhappy.
"Okay OK! Just listen to me once. If you want to help me, I will help you get these magic beads." Liu Zhe changed the subject and immediately took out a magic bead from the space ring and placed it in front of Rex.
Seeing that Liu Zhe owned a space ring, Rex was surprised, but his expression was not surprised. Although the space ring was a little expensive, it was not a rare thing.
"Level 4 Demon Acquisition Bead? Brother, what do you want this thing to do?" After seeing this, Rex recognized what was in Liu Zhe's hand at first sight.
Rex picked up the Level 4 Demon Acquisition Plant and looked at it. A light flashed. The next moment, the Level 4 Demon Acquisition Plant was immediately full of magic!
Oh my God, in just one moment, Rex was actually filled with a Level 4 Demon-accumulating Bead! If it were Liu Zhe, it would be impossible for a few minutes.
"This is too fast..." Liu Zhe was secretly shocked. It would take at least a few minutes for his level 5 magician to fill a level 4 magic bead. Rex was done in an instant?
"Here, I'll give it back to you." Rex said, and returned the magic-enriching bead in his hand that was already full of magic power.
Liu Zhe quickly caught the demon-gathering bead, and said with a bad look on his face: "Be careful! This is all money!"
"Brother, aren't you that hard? You have to say something about life difficulties... Do you want me to support you?" Rex looked contemptuous. Nowadays, people have regarded the magic pearl as treasures.
"No need!" Liu Zhe immediately refused. He didn't say that he was not short of money. Just seeing Rex's slutty look, he would never accept Rex's money.
While speaking, Liu Zhe had already begun to try to exchange the demon-accumulating beads in his hand.
Soon, a system message appeared.
'This item is determined by the system and cannot be redeemed! '
When Liu Zhe heard the system message coming, he was stunned at first, and then he cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Why can't he exchange it for?"
"Strange... Heidi's magic-accumulated beads can be exchanged, so why can't Rex's fill it be exchanged?" Liu Zhe remained silent, thinking about the reasons.
Seeing that Liu Zhe suddenly stopped talking, Rex shook his hands in front of Liu Zhe's eyes and asked, "Brother, are you okay? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"
Ignoring Rex's conversation, Liu Zhe flashed inspiration and thought of a very possible reason.
"Is it money? Heidi has a salary for filling the magic beads, but Rex doesn't!" Liu Zhe thought about it more and more likely. He said to Rex: "Rex, if you take this silver coin, you can help me fill the magic beads with me."
After Liu Zhe finished speaking, he stuffed the 10 silver coins in his hand into Rex's hands without saying a word.
When Liu Zhe gave Rex 10 silver coins, he exchanged the demon-accumulating beads in his hand again.
'This item is determined by the system and cannot be redeemed! '
Seeing the message in his mind, Liu Zhe was stunned, and he was extremely confused and said to himself: "It's still not possible? What's going on? Isn't it because of the money?"
Liu Zhe was full of doubts and did not understand what the system was based on. Under the same conditions, why can Heidi be able to do it, but Rex can't?
At this time, Rex reacted and quickly handed back 10 silver coins to Liu Zhe, saying, "You can take this money back, I don't need it!"
Rex said, but Liu Zhe seemed to be in a daze and ignored him at all.
"Did you hear me? I said I can't collect this money!" Seeing Liu Zhe in a daze, Rex was helpless and kept shaking in front of Liu Zhe with silver coins.
Rex's actions made Liu Zhe return to reality from thinking. At this moment, Liu Zhe followed Rex's wishes and simply said, "Okay, that's my turn."
Liu Zhe was extremely nimble. Before Rex could react, he had already taken back the silver coins in Rex's hand.
Since it is not a matter of money, these 10 silver coins cannot be wasted. It would be too cheap to give Rex in vain.
"..." Rex looked speechless, looking at Liu Zhe's quick action of taking back the money, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, could you be fooling me?
Seeing Rex's face bitter and his expression seemed to have eaten a fly, Liu Zhe couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing? This is what you said you don't want."
It would be fine if Liu Zhe didn't say it. After saying this, Rex immediately jumped up excitedly, strangled Liu Zhe's neck and kept shouting: "You fool me! Brother, you are deliberately fooling me, right? "
※※※
Afterwards, Liu Zhe and Rex were playing at the door of the dormitory, completely forgetting their purpose.
Finally, after Rex took away 10 silver coins with a smile, he left the dormitory with great enthusiasm.
Chapter completed!
