Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 293: Chapter 170: Holding My Little Sister, Overwhelmed with Pressure

Baiyi brought Diane to the front of a wooden building at the very edge, pushed the door open, and went inside.

It was a three-room, one-hall style, with a table at the far end of the hall. On the table, there were two clay pots, giving off an overall feeling of great desolation.

As spiritual power swept through, the dust in the living room was quickly cleared away.

Diane followed in coldly, but the coldness in her eyes began to fade away upon seeing some familiar things.

She watched as Baiyi drew three sticks of incense from the space ring and placed them in front of the two clay pots. After the incense burned halfway, he directly stored the clay pots into the space ring.

She couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. As expected, Baiyi hadn’t changed at all; whether it was his fondness for money or these actions, she was all too familiar with them.

She recalled when she first met Baiyi; back then, she was excited about her first investment, which led to them becoming friends.

One day in class, the teacher talked about the Undead Realm, saying that most undead creatures have the ability to turn corpses into monsters for combat.

So, little Baiyi went with her to dig up his parents’ graves, cremated the bodies into ashes, and brought them back in these two clay pots.

Back then, Baiyi’s reasoning was: [Although they didn’t really raise me, I might still be unable to strike against them if enemies come. Cremating them and keeping the ashes serves as a kind of remembrance.]

She had asked if cremating the bodies would hurt, and then received a serious lecture from Baiyi, eventually using her only bronze-level magic scroll to cremate the bodies.

Even though she felt Baiyi had taken advantage of her, after all, she was only nine at the time, and magic scrolls were something she had secretly bought, barely having a few. She was heartbroken for quite a while.

Thinking of these things, a smile gradually appeared at the corners of Diane’s mouth.

”What’s up?” Baiyi asked Diane, who was sulking and then inexplicably smiling: ”I plan to go to the school here. Do you want to come?”

Diane’s smile disappeared, she glanced at him and said coolly, ”Of course, I’m just waiting for you to get knocked down by that weirdo.”

”Then I’m afraid you won’t see that happening. Let’s go.”

Baiyi led Diane into the school in Lion Guard City, causing a stir.

After all, Baiyi came out of this school, and when he became the sixth SS-level genius, his story spread. As his Alma mater, they certainly talked about his deeds.

The junior students dressed in shabby clothes didn’t dare to gather around but secretly watched him from a distance.

Baiyi had no particular purpose in coming to the school. After recruiting three kind, upright, and high-quality teaching staff, he walked out under the principal’s resentful gaze and Diane’s speechless look.

He asked Bodun to send the three teachers and their families to Dongwu City, and Baiyi was satisfied as they walked out of the city.

”You...” Diane was momentarily at a loss for words, definitely another weirdo, but not disliked.

”What about me? Long ago, they gave me extra lessons, and now I’m getting them promotions and pay raises, it’s only fair.” Baiyi spoke cheerfully.

Diane quietly stepped forward and grabbed Baiyi’s sleeve. The two walked out of the city and followed the scent of an official letter to a location ten kilometers away.

Instantly, gazes seemed to fall on them, although the owners of these gazes hadn’t appeared, Diane felt familiar people were involved.

Baiyi also sensed these gazes, instinctively checking the network through Zero, then fell silent.

Ah, the scene of their confrontation had already been posted, with a very familiar title.

[Shocking! Baiyi of Dongwu City and Fuer Family’s Official Letter, vying for Diane of Di Feng Family’s affection, are about to duel to the death!]

Zero: [The poster has been traced to someone called Big News Marvel.]

Baiyi’s mouth twitched. As expected, players always create things he can’t comprehend. Now someone managed to get panel-recorded videos into reality.

Players switch between two networks like lightning for gold coins.

Casually observing, players now showed a trend to become marketing accounts, playing wonderfully on the network.

Due to players’ reposts, the internet had exploded, half discussing Baiyi and Diane, while the other half debated who was stronger.

Zero: [Mr. Sabo left a message: My dear Lord City Lord, firstly, congratulations on finding your lady; secondly, please delay the duel by half an hour, thanks.]

Baiyi: ....

Looking towards the golden figure waiting impatiently, he smiled, ”Waited long?”

As Official Letter was about to say something, Baiyi raised a hand, ”Then wait a bit longer, check your phone.”

Official Letter pulled out his phone with a shadowed face, suppressing anger, and upon seeing the flood of messages, some of his fury diminished.

He looked at Baiyi with some mockery in his eyes, ”What? Scared?”

Baiyi remained silent; it wasn’t fear, but an official account from Dongwu City had posted a status.

[Baiyi vs Official Letter, who do you support? Come place your bets, officially guaranteed, no online scams.]

Clicking in, both parties’ information appeared instantly.

[Baiyi, nineteen years old.

Level 54 Alchemist, current honors: second from last in the age among top geniuses, Lord of Dongwu City, developed the Alchemy Magic Net, Intercontinental Missile, Barrett Energy Gun, helicopter, steam train... and numerous other honors.
