Chapter 171: Meeting Again

Chen Yu did want to get first place, but as he looked at Cheng Yi’s beautiful face, his heart turned into a puddle of mud by her words. What did taking first place matter compared to the girl he liked?
“Points aren’t important. I’m willing to give you all my points, even if it means that.”
Cheng Yi’s beautiful eyes lit up, and then she was deeply moved. “Really?”
Chen Yu nodded firmly. “Of course it’s true.”
Cheng Yi held his hand and said sincerely, “Thank you, Brother Chen Yu. I really don’t know how to thank you.’
Chen Yu’s cheeks turned red, his heartbeat accelerated, and his breathing became warm.
Cheng Yi looked at her hand and quickly let go. She lowered her head and said shyly, “Oops… I’m sorry, I was too excited.” Chen Yu shook his head, “No… It’s alright.”
Cheng Yi said, “Let’s go to the next secret room.”
Now she couldn’t wait to meet He Jing.
With Chen Yu around, she would definitely be able to surpass He Jing.
She thought, “I wonder what He Jing’s expression will be like at that time…”
“The next chamber is Secret Room 07, right?”
“Yes.”
As the most important secret room in the big secret room, Secret Room 07 had very rich points. It wasn’t as difficult as 08, 09, and 10, but many complicated missions required a lot of mental effort. At the same time, it was also related to the BOSS of the entire secret room.
When He Jing saw that Secret Room 07 was highlighted in the manual, she knew that this place would trigger the final battle for the points leaderboard. Perhaps she would encounter Chen Yu and Cheng Yi.
However, when she really saw Chen Yu and Cheng Yi at the entrance of Secret Room 07, she couldn’t help but feel stifled. Then, she glared at Yan Hanxi beside her.
This troublemaker was the cause of all the wars.
Cheng Yi also saw He Jing and Yan Hanxi. She didn’t expect that the opportunity to turn the tables and slap her face would come so quickly. With Chen Yu by her side, she no longer felt the shame and inferiority complex she had before. She confidently went up to greet them, “Student Yan, Student He Jing, what a coincidence.”
Chen Yu frowned and glanced at He Jing.
Was this the He Jing that Cheng Yi had mentioned, who was jealous of her popularity and conspired with others to kick her out of the team?
She actually looked quite beautiful and she didn’t seem like that kind of person…
However, he still believed Cheng Yi’s words more. After all, one could never know a person’s heart by their appearance. Cheng Yi had been with him for so long, and her kindness was evident. She couldn’t possibly deceive him.
He Jing also looked at Chen Yu. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He wasn’t as handsome as she had imagined. No wonder the real heiress in the original novel wasn’t interested in him no matter what. Compared to the god-like Yan Hanxi and the extraordinarily handsome He Ning, he was indeed a little inferior.
However, with just one glance, she was certain that this was her formidable opponent.
Secret Room 07 also had a prerequisite mission, not rewarding any dolls but offering a chance to make an initial guess about the boss who designed all the secret rooms. Whether it was right or wrong didn’t affect the final result. In short, it was a very good opportunity to find out about the Boss.
Other than the two groups, there were three other groups with a total of ten people participating.
Cheng Yi said with a smile, “Student He Jing, I’m fourth.”
He Jing had no expression. “Congratulations.”
Seeing that she was calm, Cheng Yi couldn’t help feeling annoyed. She pretended to be so calm, but who knew how angry she was?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yi became excited again. “Student He Jing, I’ll strive to surpass you. I hope you won’t mind when the time comes.”
He Jing replied, “Yeah, whatever.”
Anyway, things were going according to the rules of the novel, so she just lay flat.
As long as she wasn’t cannon fodder, anything was fine.
Cheng Yi gritted her teeth and decided to change her position. She turned to Yan Hanxi and said in a soft voice, “Student Yan, I will prove my strength to you.”
Yan Hanxi glanced at her and chuckled. “Don’t worry, with me around, you won’t get first place..”
