# Chapter 1135: My Mom Doesn't Let Me Play with Idiots
After three agonizing days, Qin Shou was finally no longer itchy!
When he showed up again, he was still quite the eye-catching presence, sparking intense discussions among the new students!
Everyone stayed far away, afraid of being infected!
Qin Shou and the others' hearts were bleeding. Not only did they fail to pull off their act, but they also became social outcasts!
They lost their three-year right to make moves, but luckily they made it to this ant nest maze!
Whether they could change the junior girls' impression of them being perverts all depended on this!
They absolutely couldn't fall for Boss Nan's tricks again. Flames of fighting spirit burned fiercely in everyone's eyes!
(๑•̀皿•́)و We will win!
Ye Xinghe spotted Ye Xingxuan in the crowd and waved excitedly!
٩(*´口`*)۶ "Hey! Sis! Sister! Over here! It's me! Me! Xinghe!"
Ye Xingxuan turned her head to the other side, completely ignoring Ye Xinghe's waving!
(乛ˍ乛๑)
The three cat-eared sisters: "Sister Xingxuan? Someone over there is calling you! They even called you sister!"
"Your little brother? Isn't that Ye Xinghe? Didn't they say he was dead?"
Ye Xingxuan looked disgusted!
(˘益˘｡) "Tsk—that person just happens to have the same name and mistakenly thinks I'm his sister!"
"I don't know that pervert!"
The three cat-eared sisters: ...
This person is hopeless, already starting to deceive herself?
Ye Xinghe was full of confusion. Why isn't my sister acknowledging me?
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Was I not calling loud enough?
Jiangnan was equally puzzled. He teleported over to Luo Tianqing's side: "What's going on? No more cat-catching-mouse?"
Luo Tianqing looked at Jiangnan and snickered: "You'll find out soon. I'll tell you on the bus!"
After yesterday's written test, fewer than ten thousand new students remained!
Zhao Dezhu announced loudly: "For the final comprehensive test, the Academy only recruits three thousand!"
"What's being tested is your overall strength, intelligence, luck, and adaptability. Everything is part of your strength!"
"This time, we'll head to the Kun City Ant Nest Maze Ling Xu to participate in the national 'Overthrow the Nest Operation' to clear out Ling Xu spirit beasts!"
"You'll receive the Ling Xu materials on the way. Prepare yourselves mentally!"
Hearing this, the new students started discussing among themselves!
They didn't expect the final hurdle to be the Ant Nest Maze!
"Whoa—I've heard of the Ant Nest Maze. It's a Platinum-grade Ling Xu! Isn't that too difficult? Most of us are Gold!"
"Hehe, without difficulty, where's the challenge? Shouldn't challenging higher levels be a necessary quality for Pioneer students?"
"But that's the Ant Nest Maze! The bullet ants inside are super fierce! And there are all kinds of poisonous creatures, dark and damp. Eww—"
Beifeng said calmly: "Anyone not confident can follow me. In this level of garbage Ling Xu, I walk sideways!"
In this situation, teamwork was essential to get more kills and spirit beads.
Having a capable fighter in the team was extremely important!
Luo Changge, Bei Bei, and the others naturally looked confident. This was their chance to shine!
Everyone didn't waste time and directly headed to Rongcheng Train Station, boarding a train to Kun City!
Over a hundred senior students also followed, including several instructors.
They would act as support personnel, monitoring the new students' actions.
If anyone was in life-threatening danger or needed help, it was the support's turn to step in.
Of course, this also meant losing qualification for selection.
Jiangnan couldn't miss out on this kind of good thing!
On the train, Jiangnan was reading the Ant Nest Maze materials!
It was called the Ant Nest Maze because it was a rare cave-type Ling Xu.
There was no surface, just an intricate network of karst caves.
Even veteran explorers often got lost inside and couldn't find their way out for a long time.
He didn't expect Brother Jian to move so fast. Not long after the Western Frontier incident...
He had already started clearing empty Ling Xu around major cities and building city shelters!
Taking precautions this way against the unknown.
Overthrow the Nest Operation? Quite fitting, actually.
But Jiangnan looked troubled: "Platinum-grade Ling Xu? No way? And I'm a support? Not much profit?"
"Isn't this too easy for the new students?"
Qin Shou and the others' mouths twitched.
Listen to him, is that something a human should say?
But what Jiangnan said was true. With Boss Nan's skills, the Ant Nest Maze really was a walk in the park.
He'd even been to places like the Void Sea!
Luo Tianqing snickered and leaned over to Jiangnan!
(๑ಡกಡ) "Hehehe—You think it's that simple?"
"Haven't you noticed that not many instructors came this time?"
Jiangnan's ears perked up. Could there be something he didn't know?
He slapped a stalk of Small Ginseng on the table!
(˵¯͒ʖ̫¯͒)ﾉ Ginseng ┬─┬
"Tell me quickly!"
Luo Tianqing coughed twice and silently stuffed the Small Ginseng into her chest!
"I'll tell you, but you have to keep it secret, okay?"
Jiangnan grew even more curious. He patted his chest and promised: "I'm Jiang Secret-Keeper, the definition of tight-lipped!"
Luo Tianqing leaned close to Jiangnan's ear and whispered!
"This time, it's not just about having the new students collect spirit beads! Xiao Huzi and the others have already gone down into the ant nest!"
"They're going to pretend to be bad guys with evil intentions, attack the new students, and create a crisis!"
"When the time comes, you, as support, must not cause trouble, got it?"
Jiangnan was stunned, then nodded excitedly!
Damn, Director Hu and the others sure know how to have fun? Using life-and-death crises to test the new students' qualities?
Smooth! Smooth!
His smile gradually twisted!
(๑ºั╰╯ºั๑)
"Don't worry! I'll cooperate with the Academy's work!"
Luo Tianqing patted Jiangnan's shoulder approvingly: "Good! That's my good little stinky treasure!"
(￢ก￢。) "Ahem—By the way, did anyone send you a WeChat message last night? The kind like a confession?"
Asking this, Luo Tianqing looked nervous.
After her consolation last night, Xiao Hong should have made a move by now, right?
Jiangnan looked terrified, hugging his chest as he pressed against the window!
"No? Why? Don't tell me you have feelings for me?"
"At your age, trying to eat tender grass?"
"No! Not interested! I refuse! You're a nice person!"
Luo Tianqing's forehead bulged with two veins, her eyes blazing with fire!
(☄益☄ꐦ)
Who the hell has feelings for you? Do you have to be so narcissistic?
Who are you calling old cow?
And now you're giving me a nice-guy card?
[From Luo Tianqing: Resentment +1000!]
Why do I find you so infuriating?
Without another word, she threw a punch at Jiangnan's eye!
But Jiangnan opened a Spatial Wormhole, redirecting the attack!
The fist Luo Tianqing threw in came out from the other side, hitting her own eye!
With a "clang," she was knocked back, her eye bruised black!
Jiangnan was shocked: "Whoa—You even hit yourself when you go crazy? Stay away from me. My mom doesn't let me play with idiots!"
Luo Tianqing: !!!
Argh! Damn space-type!
She coughed twice to change the subject!
(ꐦ◉◡ʘ̆) "Ahem—My Luo family is in Kun City. Do you want to come to my house and sit?"
Jiangnan blushed: (˘◡˘｡) "I can come hang out, but 'sit' is out of the question. I'm not interested in idiots. What if the baby we have turns out to be a fool too?"
Luo Tianqing: ???
What the hell is "sit"? Why are you blushing, you teapot?
Who invited you to my house to... I spit!
Don't twist the meaning into something weird!
[From Luo Tianqing: Resentment +1000!]
"Go die! You're handsome, but you have a mouth!"
She threw another punch at Jiangnan's eye, which was predictably redirected!
"Clang!"
Luo Tianqing's other eye turned black too!
(๑◉益◉๑)
Jiangnan: (٥ᵒ̴̶̷～ᵒ̴̶̷) "The idiot is pretty, but she doesn't learn from her mistakes!"
[From Luo Tianqing: Resentment +1000!]
[From Luo Tianqing...]
The train arrived. Zhao Dezhu led the group of new students off and headed to the outskirts of Kun City!
Seeing Luo Tianqing's two big black circles, he was stunned!
"How did that happen?"
Luo Tianqing ground her tiger teeth, looking at Jiangnan swinging his arms triumphantly, her face darkening!
"Nothing! Didn't sleep well last night!"
On the outskirts of Kun City!
Steep mountains stood in a ring, with dense forests—a typical sandstone peak forest landform!
Not far from the city, the entrance to the Ant Nest Maze was here!
At the foot of a mountain, there was a sinkhole nearly a kilometer in diameter!
White mist filled the pit, constantly flowing out, covering the mountains with a thin layer of fog!
The spiritual energy was exceptionally dense!
Of course, this wasn't the only entrance to the Ant Nest Maze!
The area around the sinkhole was bustling, with explorers and Spirit Martial troops coming and going!
The nearby free trade market was also quite sizable!
Next to the sinkhole, there was a camp of Dragon Abyss troops stationed!
The arrival of over ten thousand students naturally caught the attention of the Dragon Abyss stationed at the Ling Xu!
A middle-aged man in a Dragon Abyss uniform, with graying temples and a rank of Diamond Peak, ran over with a large squad of Dragon Abyss soldiers!
He was carrying several military-green large boxes!
Full of enthusiasm: "Old Master Zhao! We've been waiting for you! We're short-handed here!"
The new students saw the Dragon Abyss troops and all had nervous expressions!
This was the Spirit Martial force—Hua Xia Dragon Abyss! They rarely had close contact!
Their eyes showed yearning!
The middle-aged man turned, straightened his body, and shouted loudly:
"Report! Yun Province Dragon Abyss Headquarters Battalion! Kun City Detachment! Major! Li Fan! Code name: Raptor! Reporting to you!"
"Greetings, Marshal Jiang!"
"All personnel! Attention!"
All the Dragon Abyss soldiers stood at attention, their expressions solemn!
∠(｀～´*) "Salute!"
