Evolving infinitely from ground zero

“Yeah, I know them.”

After saying that, Luo Yongjian turned around and introduced to the square-faced captain, “This beautiful girl is the top scholar of Nanjiang Province and a classmate of mine. The guy sitting next to her is this year’s newcomer king at Shan University.”

What the hell?!

Newcomer king?!

The square-faced captain’s eyes widened as he thought he had misheard.

The other security personnel close by were just as confused as he was, all baffled.

Seeing his godfather confused, Luo Yongjian explained, “You might not believe it, but Chen single-handedly blew up an entire class of geniuses during the school’s initiation trials and effortlessly claimed the title of newcomer king, leaving the school’s leaders in awe.”

“Really or not?”

The square-faced captain looked incredulous.

How could the second top scorer of Nanjiang Province become Shan University’s newcomer king?

Since when did Nanjiang become so awesome?

This must be a joke!

The other security personnel nearby also looked just as skeptical, thinking Luo Yongjian was joking and just messing with them.

“Seriously, Chen is frighteningly powerful. The students from the genius class are no match for him. Everyone agrees he’s the strongest newcomer king Shan University has ever had, and that’s no exaggeration!”

Luo Yongjian kept calling him ‘Brother Chen’ with a face full of admiration and had no intention of competing with Lin Zichen for glory.

Although he loved to show off, he was quite aware of his limits.

Knowing that a firefly’s light cannot compete with the bright moon, he wisely chose not to embarrass himself.

Seeing his godson look so serious and not joking, the square-faced captain felt so embarrassed he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Lin Zichen is the strongest newcomer king Shan University has ever had.

Yet, the captain had just given a lecture in front of Lin Zichen, claiming his godson could be Lin Zichen’s backing.

What a disgrace! It was so embarrassing!

Seeing that the other security personnel were also looking over in shock, Lin Zichen felt it was necessary to clarify, “That was an exaggeration, I was just in good form on that day and barely managed to get the title of newcomer king. It was all a result of the right time, place, and people. If we did it again, I probably couldn’t manage it.”

He was afraid these security personnel would exaggerate further and spread his fame nationwide.

By then, he’d probably become a target for heretical sects all over the country, making his life difficult thereafter.

Luo Yongjian was no fool. Hearing Lin Zichen say this, he immediately followed up, “Haha, I did exaggerate a bit just now. Actually, getting the title of newcomer king did involve some luck. It was our genius class fighting among themselves, weakening each other, and in the end, Brother Chen benefited from their rivalry.”

Luo Yongjian was quite good at reading the room…

Lin Zichen looked at Luo Yongjian and mentally noted this about him.

…

In the time that followed.

A few people in the tea area chatted intermittently.

Throughout, Lin Zichen continuously downplayed the fact that being the newcomer king was a big deal, always saying he just got lucky and was afraid the security personnel would go around bragging about him, causing unnecessary trouble.

Luo Yongjian and Shen Qinghan were very perceptive, both knowing to go along with him in downplaying the fact that he was the impressive newcomer king.

So they chatted on.

Time flew by.

It was 11 p.m. before they knew it.

It was time to set out to capture the drug traffickers.

Tonight’s participating security personnel were fully armed and drove to an abandoned factory in the outskirts of Shanhai City, aiming to completely destroy the drug traffickers’ den.

Before leaving, the security team’s captain handed Lin Zichen and two others a set of bulletproof gear to wear.

Shen Qinghan obediently put hers on.

Lin Zichen didn’t need it, so he said he wouldn’t use it.

Luo Yongjian initially wanted to wear it, but seeing Lin Zichen opting out, he did the same.

Although he wasn’t as impressive as the newcomer king, he was still a provincial top scholar, and wearing bulletproof gear just didn’t seem cool enough.

Given that his biological level was as high as Common Tier Five, unless shot in the head by a heavy-duty sniper rifle, he wouldn’t even be in mortal danger.

He had every reason to show off.

Soon, they would show these mere mortals among the security personnel just how powerful the students from Shan University’s genius class were!
