The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 235 - 170: Wildfire and Lovers_2
Chapter 235: Chapter 170: Wildfire and Lovers_2”Now let’s decide our group’s name,” he continued. ”Anyone with ideas, feel free to speak up.”

Then, one by one, people began to speak up. Some stood up and some didn’t. Some answered loudly and decisively, while others whispered their replies.

Clearly, just a few words were enough to make a profound impression on these students.

However, Yaxi would only write on the Simulated Light Screen the group names suggested by students who met the speaking criteria, silently regulating everyone’s behavior through his actions.

But during today’s two classes, most students still participated with a joking attitude.

After selecting four serious group names, Yaxi conducted a vote to choose the group’s name.

”Alright, our big group’s name is now set,” his gaze swept over all the students once more.

In their eyes, there was seriousness, jest, and compliance.

But no matter who they were, they didn’t say a word, just sat quietly in their seats, listening to Yaxi’s words.

”’Wildfire,’ a good name,” Yaxi nodded. ”This is the first thing our group has done together.”

”How much longer do you want to sit here?” Jiang Shu tapped on the glass table in front of Liu Tingruo, helplessly saying, ”We came in at twelve o’clock, and it’s already five, yet we haven’t reached the top of the tower. Move a little.”

Sky Tower had a total of 333 floors, nearly reaching a height of 1700 meters, serving multiple purposes including signal transmission, receiving distinguished guests, sightseeing, cultural commemoration, and remembering ancestors.

On the top thirteen floors, beads made from the ashes of the deceased were carefully placed in boxes, stored inside specially designed rooms that wouldn’t open unless family members visited.

According to the people of Lonely City, the sky is the purest, and Sky Tower is the place in Lonely City closest to the sky.

The deceased resting here could better embrace the sky.

That’s also why the elevator in Sky Tower stops at the 320th floor. To reach the top, one could only climb up on their own.

So, Liu Tingruo had been dragging her feet at the 327th floor for nearly an hour.

She shook her head, her whole body slumping onto the table as she lazily said, ”I’m tired. I don’t want to move.”

”Okay,” Jiang Shu nodded. He leaned sideways on the table, resting his head on one hand, and with a finger of his other hand, he casually twirled Liu Tingruo’s hair like twirling spaghetti with chopsticks.

”Don’t move,” said Liu Tingruo, her voice hoarse, but she was too lazy to even shift a little, just giving a verbal warning.

So, Jiang Shu naturally didn’t care.

From their short time together during the day, he had already figured out her high tolerance for him; as long as he didn’t deliberately touch some particularly intimate spots, she wouldn’t bother with him.

Touching her hair like this, as long as he combed it neatly later, she wouldn’t say much.

”Are you not happy?” Jiang Shu was mimicking a soul extractor he had seen in a previous life, scratching at the top of her head while idly asking.

But Liu Tingruo didn’t show any odd reaction; she reached up to smack away Jiang Shu’s ”claw” and then sighed, ”I don’t know why, but I just can’t muster the energy.”

She knew saying this would make Jiang Shu overthink, but she was too lazy to concoct any excuses to placate Jiang Shu.

”Then let’s play a game,” Jiang Shu took out a deck of playing cards, ”Whoever draws a card with a higher value can ask the other a question, which must be answered truthfully. If someone doesn’t want to answer, then they must agree to do one thing for the other.”

Liu Tingruo glanced at the playing cards in his hand. ”No, you will play tricks.”

”You shuffle and you deal the cards then, I won’t touch them at all,” Jiang Shu placed the playing cards on the glass table and then raised both his hands.

”No, you can change cards without touching them,” Liu Tingruo was wary.

”That’s magic, only possible under specific conditions,” Jiang Shu laughed, ”I definitely won’t tamper with them.”

”Alright!” Liu Tingruo’s interest was piqued. She suddenly sat up straight, causing a slight ripple across her chest.

Which caused Jiang Shu to quip, ”Though I’ve never been to this river, Ningbo sure is big!”

”...” Jiang Shu turned off the screen of Xiao Yi.

Liu Tingruo picked up the cards, shuffling them casually a few times, then spread the playing cards out in a straight line. She looked at Jiang Shu and said, ”You draw first.”

”Okay.” Jiang Shu did not use any derivative terms, casually drawing a card. He glanced at it and said, ”Let’s agree beforehand though, Ace > King > Queen > numbered cards.”

”Hmm?” Liu Tingruo picked a card, looked at it herself, then shook her head immediately. ”No, let’s reverse the ranks.”

”Okay.” Jiang Shu flipped over his card. It was an Ace, which according to Liu Tingruo’s reversed order, made it the lowest card, ”You win.”

”Hehe.” Liu Tingruo smiled joyfully, revealing her card, which was a heart four.

Seeing her genuinely happy smile, Jiang Shu’s mood brightened instantly.

”You and that woman at the police station... and the one who plays the piano, what’s your relationship with them?” Liu Tingruo asked without hesitation, her eyes intently fixed on Jiang Shu.

”Colleagues,” Jiang Shu threw up his hands in surrender, ”I absolutely have no designs on them.”

”Oh.” Liu Tingruo withdrew her gaze, shuffling the cards again, ”Continue.”
