Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 86 My younger sister is "stuffed"

He looked at the other professors and said earnestly:

"On the other hand, other students, including many older students, are too used to using ready-made flashcards. This is a kind of laziness nurtured in peacetime, and it is also because we teachers have not truly conveyed the sense of urgency of real-world application."

Upon hearing this criticism, the professors all showed a hint of shame on their faces.

"Dean Zhou, you're right," a professor said sincerely. "I will also shift the focus of my future teaching towards [practice cards]."

"That's right, [Practice Cards] is the core method that is closest to actual combat."

Another professor chimed in, "If something were to happen to Green Island in the future and these children were needed to step up, they would need to know how to grow in the face of adversity."

"Yes! It's not too late for everyone to realize this!"

Dean Zhou was in a good mood today and praised Xia Qiwei several times.

Surrounded by a group of elderly professors, they walked out of the dream simulation room while chatting.

-----------------

After the dean and professors left—

The students in the simulation room seemed to have been freed from some kind of restraint, instantly immersing themselves in a festive atmosphere of revelry.

The sound was so loud it almost lifted the roof off.

Everyone was excitedly discussing and reviewing Zhang Qingzhe's incredible performance just now.

Every decision he made, every time he used a card, and even the method of injecting magic essence became the focus of heated discussion.

Many people have already taken out their notebooks and are taking notes quickly, planning to ask their mentors for advice when they get back.

However, there was another scene in the crowd.

Some of the boys who had lost the bet earlier were now looking as if they had lost their parents.

Their impending punishment is to go to the "Witch's Diner" and eat a whole plate of the legendary "Stargazing Pie" in front of everyone.

That stuff not only tastes so bad it's enough to destroy your sense of taste, but it's also said to have a mental pollution effect, causing your SAN value to drop drastically and giving you a taste of "death".

Just imagining that scene made some people gag.

-----------------

Amidst the bustling crowd, Zhang Qingzhe, surrounded by his three "adopted sons," escaped through the gate with Gu Xintong.

Lin Wan stood a few steps away, watching their backs, and bit her full lower lip in resentment.

Her sharp canine teeth left a faint mark on her lips.

With her wild and untamed eyes, she looked just like a mother wolf whose prey had been stolen.

"Brother, you're becoming more and more unfathomable to me."

Wang Dong hooked his arm around Zhang Qingzhe's shoulder from behind, his tone half-joking and half-astonished, "At this rate, making it to the finals is a piece of cake, right?"

"Yeah, Godfather was amazing today!"

"We're able to accumulate so many points today thanks to our godfather's guidance!"

The other two "adopted sons" quickly followed suit, launching into a flattering mode.

Gu Xintong turned around and glanced at the three of them indifferently.

She maintained her aloof demeanor, gently brushing aside the strands of hair ruffled by the breeze, her tone calm yet incisive:

"You three, all you do is follow behind and 'pick up points'? What's there to be smug about?"

Wang Dong wasn't annoyed, and explained with a smile:

"Miss Gu, you don't understand. This is called 'strategic easy win.' As long as you don't get eliminated, your points will steadily increase. Even if you're not selected as an apprentice, you'll eventually make it into the training team."

"So what if I made it into the training team?" Gu Xintong blinked her clear, big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, as if she was genuinely puzzled.

The other two boys laughed.

They used to avoid talking to Gu Xintong, but now they clearly treat her as their "godmother".

So even when Gu Xintong rolled her eyes at her, she didn't seem angry at all.

One student explained:

"The students in the training camp are indeed treated worse than the 'apprentices,' but they also enjoy some preferential treatment in terms of resources. For people like us, this is the safest path to advancement."

Wang Dong nodded and put it more bluntly:

"With Zhang Qingzhe's talent, I think he can become a [Formal Card Master] in his freshman year, and his future is limitless. We don't ask for too much, it would be enough if he could become a [Formal Card Master] in his senior year."

The other two nodded vigorously in agreement, "That's right! Becoming a full-fledged card master in your senior year will allow you to find a good job in the future."

As Zhang Qingzhe listened to these words, he suddenly recalled the efforts he had made for the future in his previous life, and a sense of emotion welled up in his heart.

As the last rays of the setting sun fell, they stretched their shadows long, as if extending infinitely into the distance.

"That's right!"

Zhang Qingzhe patted Wang Dong on the back, his voice gentle yet firm, "The road ahead is long, let's work hard together."

"Of course we will try our best!"

Wang Dong and the other two clung to him again, their smiles as bright as a husky's, "But we'll definitely need your help in the future, brother!"

Unbeknownst to many, Zhang Qingzhe has become an indispensable pillar of support and a guiding force in this small circle.

In the days that followed, Zhang Qingzhe's life gradually returned to normal.

However, the attitude of his classmates towards him underwent a subtle change.

Those who once ignored him now greet him politely when they meet, even with a hint of barely perceptible awe.

This change actually made Zhang Qingzhe feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he still had Wang Dong, his "mischievous friend," who still dared to put his arm around his shoulder and make all sorts of carefree jokes.

Gu Xintong's attitude towards him remained the same as always.

Perhaps in this young lady's mind, she never considers whether the other person is "rich" when making friends, since no one can be richer than her anyway.

Ma Yinuo seemed a bit annoying, always trying to find an opportunity to get closer and attempt some kind of "in-depth communication".

Zhang Qingzhe had absolutely no interest in this and always politely and quickly slipped away.

Lin Wan would occasionally appear on the edge of his field of vision.

She didn't go up to greet them, but instead followed far behind like a lone wolf.

Zhang Qingzhe felt that this girl gave off a very peculiar feeling.

It's like a mix of 50% wolfish arrogance and 50% witchy obsession.

What's really strange is that she's neither a real wolf nor a "witch," but just an ordinary girl with outstanding looks.

This contradictory sense of fusion left Zhang Qingzhe somewhat bewildered.

In addition, Ye Qingshuang had tried to "have a chat" with him several times, but he politely declined each time.

Right now, the person he most wants to talk to is Zheng Hangfei—

He was really looking forward to another "ten-battle streak" to continue leveling up his cards.

Unfortunately, Zheng Hangfei seems to have learned his lesson and has recently started to avoid him.

-----------------

After going through a blind box marathon, my younger sister now feels "overfed" and has completely cooled off on blind boxes.

But she is still doing a mysterious side job, and recently seems to have made a lot of money, and has started messing around with other cards from the [Prophecy School].

This made Zhang Qingzhe somewhat worried.

He feared that one day his younger sister would also become a "chameleon"—

If her beautiful big eyes, like those of the card masters of the "prophetic school," wandered around uncontrollably.

He felt he definitely couldn't handle it.
