Superpowers of Middle School Students

Chapter 50 A Pen-Wielding Genius Controls Lolis

Cao Cao nodded, now certain.

This Guan Yu was definitely a naive and innocent fool.

He'd just gotten a fierce general for free! Cao Cao felt like he could laugh himself awake in his sleep.

"Hmm!"

"Wen Yuan, tell me Guan Yu's third condition!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed. As long as the third condition wasn't too harsh, he was willing to agree.

Seeing Cao Cao's reaction, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Guan Yu's third condition is that he won't leave until he has rendered meritorious service to his lord."

"Alright, alright."

"Granted, granted, all granted," Cao Cao said with a wave of his hand.

"What difference does it make whether the third condition is there or not?"

"Yes!"

The third condition is also based on the premise that Liu Bei is still alive.

His own strategist, Cheng Yu, had said that with a little trickery, Liu Bei's head could roll. What was there to be afraid of?!"

Upon hearing Cao Cao's approval, Zhang Liao was overjoyed and immediately went to find Guan Yu.

Soon, Zhang Liao arrived at the hillside. "Brother Changsheng," he said, "Cao Cao has approved your conditions."

Hearing Zhang Liao's confirmation, Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then drove the carriage down the hillside.

Soon, Guan Yu and Kang Lin arrived before Cao Cao. Guan Yu clasped his hands and said, "Guan Yu greets Lord Cao."

Cao Cao didn't mind Guan Yu calling him "Lord Cao," after all, they had only recently joined his service.

He would surely serve his lord in time.

"Yun Chang, there's no need for such formality. From now on, we're family," Cao Cao said, trying to ingratiate himself with Guan Yu.

Cao Cao's overly polite and enthusiastic manner made Guan Yu a little uncomfortable. If Cao Cao had been more aloof, Guan Yu felt he would have felt better.

After all, he had proposed such demanding conditions, and Cao Cao was still so enthusiastic, which left Guan Yu somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Guo Jia, standing beside Cao Cao, showed no interest in Guan Yu. Instead, he casually placed his hand on Kang Lin's shoulder.

"My name is Guo Jia, courtesy name Fengxiao. If you don't mind, you can call me Little Jiazi."

Guo Jia said to Kang Lin.

Kang Lin was about to speak, but then thought for a moment. Wouldn't he be inferior if he didn't have a courtesy name?

If he couldn't pretend, he might as well go all the way. Kang Lin quickly came up with a courtesy name.

"My name is Kang Lin, courtesy name Zilang. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Kang."

"Kang Lin, Kang Zilang," Guo Jia repeated, "Alright."

"Good name, good courtesy name."

"Haha, then I'll take you Brother Kang."

"I, Guo Jia, like scholars like you who don't concern themselves with formalities."

At this moment, Kang Lin glanced at Guo Jia and said, "I'm not like you, a weak scholar. Hehe, your brother Kang is: 'A master of words, capable of controlling lolis with a pen, and a master of martial arts, capable of seducing married women in bed.'"

Guo Jia carefully considered Kang Lin's poem and then asked, "Brother Kang, what does 'loli' mean?"

"Hmm!"

Kang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a daughter?"

"No," Guo Jia said, "but my lord does!"

"Hmm!"

"Let me put it this way!"

"Anyone under fifteen is a loli," Kang Lin explained to Guo Jia.

*Clap clap clap!*

"Brother Kang is really something!"

At this moment, Cao also walked over and said.

"I didn't expect Brother Kang to have this kind of taste. I, old Cao, don't have much skill, but I have many children, from 1 to 15 years old. If Brother Kang takes a fancy to any of them, pick one."

"Haha, I, old Cao, won't even frown."

Uh… Kang Lin’s horns twitched instantly. This was utterly insensitive to his own son!

Giving away a one-year-old? What the hell would I need a one-year-old for?

But Kang Ge’s wives are a bit of a problem!

You see, although I, Old Cao, have quite a few wives, umm, only about a hundred!

But I, Old Cao, am a man of honor, okay?

Even though I can’t use them all, I can’t just give them away, right?

Damn, a hundred or so is a bit too many?

This is absolutely too much!

Kang Lin’s horns twitched again.

Kang Ge, you see, I can’t give away the wives of my men, right? Otherwise, it will discourage the soldiers. How about this: in the places I, Old Cao, conquer…

The wives and children of enemy generals, Kang Ge, you can choose whatever you want.

I, Old Cao, will absolutely not hesitate.

Uh… At this point, Kang Lin was truly speechless.

"I just casually threw something out!"

"This reaction is way too much!"

"Am I the only one who noticed that Brother Kang only used half of it?"

Guo Jia chimed in.

"Yeah, Brother Kang, no, no!"

"You're missing two lines!"

Cao echoed.

"Um...do you really want to hear the last two lines?"

Kang Lin asked uncertainly.

"Of course we have to hear them!" Guo Jia egged on.

"Alright then!"

"The last two lines are: 'Advance to bully young boys, retreat to welcome gay men.'"

"This...Guo Jia and Cao pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand its meaning."

"Um, I wonder if Brother Kang could explain the meaning of the last two lines? I'm just a humble student, I really can't understand Brother Kang's profound and unfathomable verses."

"Hahaha, that's okay if you don't understand, figure it out yourself!"

"It'll lose its meaning if I explain it."

" Guo Jia and Cao Cao were both utterly dumbfounded.

"This is too difficult to understand!" they thought.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao said, "How about I trade three 'er's for the meaning of your poem, Brother Kang?"

Kang Lin shook his head, indicating he couldn't say.

"Five 'er's for you," Cao Cao said.

Kang Lin shook his head again.

"Ten 'er's for you," Cao Cao said again.

Kang Lin shook his head again.

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "Twenty 'er's for you."

At this moment, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao, "My lord, you don't have that many 'er's!"

"Not enough."

"It's okay, you can owe me for now!"

"I'll go back and make more. As long as they're 'er's, I'll send them to Brother Kang immediately," Cao Cao said nonchalantly.

"Damn it, do you think this place is a daycare?!"

"You think I'm raising your children for free? Dream on!" Kang Lin retorted to Cao without hesitation.

Um… Cao chuckled awkwardly. "Heh, Brother Kang, you're truly insightful! You actually saw through me."

"Brother Kang, could you please be lenient and tell me the meaning of the last two lines?"

Guo Jia approached and whispered.

"Go away, no way! Figure it out yourself if you want!" Kang Lin immediately rejected Guo Jia's unreasonable request.

Kang Lin pondered for a moment and said, "What I just said was just a misunderstanding. The reason I didn't tell you the meaning is because it's really not a pleasant one. It's better if you don't know."

"Would you like to hear the original poem?" Kang Lin changed the subject.

"That poem, which was practically a quatrain, wasn't even the original poem?"

"Then what is the original poem, Brother Kang? Tell me quickly!" Guo Jia said impatiently.

"Yes, yes!"

The original poem reads: "With pen in hand, I can bring peace to the world; with sword on horseback, I can conquer the universe.

Who can surpass my strategic brilliance? Of all the heroes throughout history, only you are worthy of such praise."

After Kang Lin recited the complete poem, everyone was stunned. This… what kind of person could be worthy of such verses? This is simply too outstanding!
