Chapter 18 The Three Best Friends

1242 Words
At this moment, Chen Shuai, seeing the massive darts hurtling towards him across the screen and Wang Liuhui following behind, remained calm. Seeing Chen Shuai's Iori prepare to dodge, Wang Liuhui unhesitatingly launched a powerful kick. However, Chen Shuai actually dodged, retreating only slightly, and then executed a perfect dodge, passing right through the screen-filling darts. Because Chen Shuai had taken a step back, Wang Liuhui's kick missed, failing to hit him. Before Wang Liuhui could retract his kick, Chen Shuai threw a fast dart. Instantly, Wang Liuhui was frozen in place. Now, Chen Shuai, controlling Iori, unleashed a barrage of uppercuts, lowercuts, left hooks, and right hooks, striking Wang Liuhui relentlessly. An 8-hit combo, a 9-hit combo, a 10-hit combo, an 11-hit combo—all connected in a single, devastating blow. At this moment, Wang Liuhui was sent flying backwards with only a sliver of health remaining. However, unlike Chen Shuai, who flew diagonally downwards, Wang Liuhui flew diagonally upwards. Then, Chen Shuai unleashed a powerful flying attack, slamming Wang Liuhui's Iori Yagami down. "Holy crap, a 12-hit combo! Where did this monster come from?" Yes! Wang Liuhui's Iori Yagami was dead the moment it hit the ground. Chao Zhi finally felt triumphant and started smug again. Kang Lin chimed in at the opportune moment, "How about we have a match? You can be smug after you win." Chao Zhi immediately deflated. "Hey...Kang Lin, you're here too!" Yes, the recent duel had also surprised Ou Hai and Xu Zhen, who were playing Bomberman nearby. Xu Zhen slammed his hand on the game console and exclaimed, "Damn, I lost again!" "Kang Lin, wanna have a match?" "You're my only opponent, no one else can beat me," Ou Hai said. "No, no." Kang Lin waved her hand and said. "Our class's number one in King of Fighters '97 has fallen at this moment, yes, defeated by Chen Shuai from Class 9." "How about it, are you convinced?" Chen Shuai said to Wang Liu Hui. "Hmm!" "This immortal doesn't want to bother with a mortal like you." "If those two words hadn't trembled..." Wang Liu Hui hummed the song again, and left on his own. "Damn, is this blow too much? Has it made this kid lose the will to live?" Chao Zhi said. "Sigh...wait a minute," Kang Lin stopped Wang Liu Hui. "What's wrong?" Wang Liu Hui asked suspiciously. "I'm not going back to evening self-study. If a teacher asks, just say I asked for leave." Kang Lin said. " OK, Wang Liu Hui left. "Kang Ge, are you skipping class again?" "Chao Zhi asked." "Aren't you going back?" "Kang Lin asked back." "It's still early, I'll play for a while before going back," Chao Zhi said. "Okay, you play!" "I'm leaving first," Kang Lin said. "Aren't you going to play for a while?" "Chao Zhi asked." "No, I'm done, I have something to take care of." After saying that, Kang Lin left the arcade. Then she walked towards the school, and soon Kang Lin was back at school. Then she found a secluded spot, opened the menu, and clicked teleport. A flash of white light, and Kang Lin reappeared at the gates of Xuzhou City. Just as the system said, she had been teleported back. So Kang Lin strode straight towards the inn. Upon arriving at the hotel, Kang Lin pushed open the room door and found Liu Bei's three buddies all sitting together, shirtless. "Wow!" "You guys are really gay!" Kang Lin exclaimed in surprise. "Um... Brother Kang, what do you mean by gay?" Liu Bei, as always, was a good student who asked questions when he didn't understand. "Great! Brother Kang, you're back! You absolutely must remember to avenge us three brothers!" Zhang Fei said. After Zhang Fei's reminder, Kang Lin realized, yes! The three Liu Bei brothers were covered in bruises; clearly, they had been beaten up. And the three of them were sitting together, applying medicine to each other. "Damn, Liu Bei, are you really that stingy? For such minor injuries, couldn't you each just take a Red Heart Pill?" Kang Lin said. "Brother Kang! You don't know the cost of living until you're in charge!" "One Red Heart Pill costs 100 coins, that's 300 coins for three people!" "Alright, alright, stop complaining. I know you're stingy," Kang Lin said. "Tell me!" "What happened?" "Did Lu Bu beat you up?" Kang Lin asked again. "It wasn't Lu Bu. How could Lu Bu be here? It was...it was Ji Ling," Zhang Fei said awkwardly. "Holy crap!" "No way!" "Ji Ling beat you three brothers like dogs? Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Kang Lin blurted out. "Brother Kang, that Ji Ling is already level 3, we're only level 2. It's a level advantage." "Liu Bei said." "I...Kang Lin really felt speechless, okay? 'You're only level 1 and you're telling me about level advantage? Are you sure you're not kidding me?'" "How many of them are there?" Kang Lin asked. "Three people, plus two soldiers." Liu Bei said. "So, those five level 3 guys ganged up on you three level 2 guys, right?" Kang Lin said. "Yes, yes, that's exactly it. They only won because they outnumbered us, were better fighters, and were higher level." Liu Bei said. "Didn't you send Zhu Ling and Zhao?" Kang Lin asked. "Uh… no," Liu Bei said. "You don't use the available manpower? I'm impressed." Kang Lin said irritably. After saying that, Kang Lin directly cast three Chi Xin Ji spells on Liu Bei's three friends, healing their injuries. "Thanks, Brother Kang," the three friends said simultaneously. "Let's go!" "I'll take you to get revenge," Kang Lin said, and left the room first. "Okay!" "By the way, which room are Zhu Ling and Zhao in?" Kang Lin asked. "That's the one," Guan Yu said, pointing to a room. "Okay!" "Follow me!" Kang Lin said. Upon reaching Zhu Ling and Zhao's room, Kang Lin kicked the door open and shouted, "Room check! Room check!" There were two burly men in the room, seemingly playing around. They were a little confused when they saw Kang Lin enter. "Hey!" "Who are you?!" "Are you looking for a beating?" Zhu Ling said. "Who am I?" "I'm here for a room check. Did Cao Cao send you here to play? Don't you want your pay this month?" Kang Lin shouted. Seeing Kang Lin's blatant confidence, Zhu Ling and Zhao started to feel a little guilty. "Could he be a supervisor sent by Cao Cao?" If he reports this to Boss Cao, my pay for the month is definitely gone! "Sir, come in, please come in. This is just a small token of my respect, please accept it." Zhu Ling said obsequiously. "Hmm!" "Not bad, at least somewhat sensible." Kang Lin readily took the money bag, opened it, and counted the coins. "Damn it, only 200 coins? Is this some kind of beggar's treat?" Kang Lin said impatiently. "Um, sir, we're just junior officers!" "A month's pay is only 1200 coins!" "We don't have much!" "Sir, what do you see?" At this moment, Kang Lin looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if to say, "What's it to me?" At this moment, Zhu Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, we only have 300 left, we really have none." Kang Lin accepted the 300 coins without hesitation, counted them, and said, "Let's go!"
