Chapter 29: Very Dumb

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhao Qingyan sensed Lan Jiao’s confusion and made an attempt to explain the situation to her. After all, she intended to establish a friendship with this high-level master of desserts.
“Kong Ximeng is the love child of the Kong Family. His head doesn’t function well because of his social status and he has a twisted personality.”
Zhao Qingyan pointed at her temple. It was a gesture that surprised Lan Jiao.
She suddenly felt that this cold-looking and intimidating pretty girl was actually quite easygoing.
As Lan Jiao gazed at her with interest, Zhao Qingyan added some more stories. “Kong Ximeng is just like his appearance, very dramatic. He changes his name, puts on a wig and changes his eye color. He is dressed in formal clothes all the time, thinking that he is not a love child, but the nobility of the Empire.”
Lan Jiao knew what the Empire was.
This was a world called the Interstellar Age, and the humans in the Interstellar Age were divided into Alliance and the Empire.
Alliance consisted of many different sizes of star systems with various planets. The clans here were chaotic and numerous, complicated and large in number.
The earliest human beings that appeared in the Interstellar Age settled in the Empire, and grew from generation to generation.
The people of the Empire had pure blood. The Empire was not as populous as Alliance, but the Empire was too powerful to be ignored. They were the biggest competitors of Alliance.
After telling her about him, Zhao Qingyan added further. “It is not easy to be close to Kong Ximeng. It is too tiring to be his friend. No one has the time or energy to tolerate his melodrama every single day.”
Lan Jiao: “…”
She had not expected that such a pretty looking man was not an innate work and that he was overdramatic!
Also, what made this pretty girl behave in such an easygoing manner with her?
“Err… I am curious to know what is Kong Ximeng’s original name?” Lan Jiao asked her.
“Kong Dongdong.”
Lan Jiao: “…”
No wonder he wanted to change his name. If she had a name like that, she would have changed it as well!
…
In the supervision control room.
The three mentors were very surprised when they saw the girl from Planet Trash hanging out with Zhao Qingyan.
They had never expected that Zhao Qingyan would become friends with anyone.
In their opinion, Zhao Qingyan was a genius who was always by herself.
She didn’t put anyone in her eyes so easily, especially someone close to her age.
But now, she was trying to become friends with a girl from Planet Trash.
It was really strange!
The reason for this attempt surfaced in Jin Ling’s mind.
Zhao Qingyan could not have possibly become so amicable towards the girl because of the few pieces of dessert, could she?
She thought this to be a real possibility!
So the food that the girl from Planet Trash presented to her was so delicious?
Jin Ling could not gauge if the dessert was amazing or not through the screens and from a distance of tens of thousands of lightyears.
Hao Pi, who was surprised and excited, said, “See, with Zhao Qingyan keeping her company, she will definitely pass the entry examination.” Hao Pi got increasingly delighted.
“Haha, I have already started to look forward to the life of this girl after she enters the school!”
Lan Jiao had no idea what was going on in the supervision control room.
She just felt that it was a moment of unexpected happiness!
She had just been cruelly turned down by Kong Ximeng and Fey when she proposed to combine forces with them.
But now, this cold-looking pretty girl made a proposal of her own accord, without Lan Jiao’s attempting to do so.
Zhao Qingyan had just said, “Let’s go together.”
Lan Jiao did not know what happened. What made Zhao Qingyan form a favourable impression of her?
Could it be because of the small cookies that she gave to Zhao Qingyan?
Yes! Zhao Qingyan’s attitude changed towards her only because of those cookies.
Lan Jiao readily agreed to Zhao Qingyan’s idea.
Nothing seemed to be dangerous for Lan Jiao any more in this forest zone, now that she was with this brave female.
Evening passed by and dawn arrived.
As the artificial sunshine shot into the air, the slightly cool air turned warm in the forest zone.
The count down had started for the desert zone set by Dean Ferrero.
Lan Jiao watched Zhao Qingyan clicking on the Light Head around the wrist. A row of figures formed by lines were shown in front of them.
865 had been eliminated and the remaining figure was only 279.
Lan Jiao was shocked. “What??”
What was that?
The progress of the entry examination?
She looked down at her own grey-looking Light Head and realized the stark difference between her and this girl.
She was deeply discriminated against as someone from Planet Trash!
Lan Jiao had not known the difference between Light Heads till now. She was not able to see any data on her own Light Head.
Seeing the data, Zhao Qingyan looked unaffected and said calmly, “More than I expected. It seems that not everyone is dumb among this year’s participants.”
Then she turned to Lan Jiao and her gaze became gentle.
She smiled at Lan Jiao and said softly, “Let’s go. Everyone has arrived. We can go and rob some bottles of nutritive solutions.”
“Oh, okay!” Lan Jiao got startled by how Zhao Qingyan was treating her. Then she realized that Zhao Qingyan was offering her help to get through the entry examination!
She felt shocked by this sudden favor. When did she get into Zhao Qingyan’s good books?
…
In a forest zone on a mimicry planet.
Lan Jiao got to see Zhao Qingyan’s level of excellence within a day’s time.
She was indeed a big shot. She brought down batches of people who came across them.
Her sword was so lethal that one attack could break down the trunk that Lan Jiao was holding on to!
Lan Jiao truly believed that she was not a human! Was she a monster in the garb of a human?
Apart from Lan Jiao, Zhao Qingyan had also gained a great reputation among participants.
As a result, some unlucky ones did not even have the courage to start a fight against Zhao Qingyan but handed over the nutritive solutions on their own.
Zhao Qingyan thought that they could divide the nutritive solutions evenly. Soon, she and Lan Jiao had already accumulated so many nutritive solutions that they would be enough for half a month!
A day later, Lan Jiao and Zhao Qingyan ran into Kong Ximeng again.
Enemies always ran into each other!
To be more accurate, it had been Kong Ximeng and Fey, who were spotted by Zhao Qingyan and Lan Jiao, as they were besieged.
