Infinite Divine Gears in the City-Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Yee ZhengCheng was so happy that his entire face turned red. Veins were popping out on his face. Li Rui was worried that he might have a stroke and pass out.

After Yee ZhengCheng thanked him for the thousandth time, Li Rui left the restaurant with the team.

At the parking lot, he separated from the team and went to the other section for his individual matches.

“Brother, bring me along as well!”

Huang JunCai tagged alone behind him as he wanted to watch Li Rui fight.

Li Rui did not get rid of him. Instead, he just took out his terminal and contacted Wang Lei.

“What? You found a trace of the spirit?!”

Wang Lei, who was at the end of the call, was in disbelief.

All the forces in Shanghai had been sent out to look for this spirit and had almost flipped the entire city, but they still did not find anything.

And Li Rui?

He just went for a casual dinner and the news just came knocking by his door. This luck… was just incredible!

“Okay, I’ll give you Chao Zhi’s number later. You can explain it to them.”

After ending the phone call, Li Rui narrowed his eyes, and he was staring in the distance with a grin on his face.

After noticing the change in Li Rui’s mood, there were goosebumps all over Huang Juncai’s back. He didn’t dare do anything stupid.

After arriving at the stadium in the other section, the chilliness that came from Li Rui finally died away.

]”Eh? I can’t believe that there are actually quite a lot of people who participated in the Hai Di Lao Championship!”

As he saw the crowd in the stadium, Huang Juncai suddenly felt excited.

As a person with a crazy mind, he wanted to scream to the thousand people there —’ALL OF YOU HERE ARE RUBBISH!”

“These smaller competitions are less competitive, which means they will attract more participants. It’s normal to have so many people here.”

Li Rui who felt indifferent about the scene, took out his pass and went into the participants tunnel together with Huang JunCai.

“Li Rui! It’s you!”

Suddenly, a loud scream rang in their ears.

As both of them turned around, there was a beautiful looking girl with simple makeup, staring at Li Rui while gritting her teeth.

Standing next to her was a tall, buff, handsome man who was also looking at him with eyes filled with hatred.

“Brother Rui, is this something that you’ve abandoned before?”

Huang Juncai gently poked Li Rui’s arms and asked in a soft voice.

However, Li Rui was lost and as he stared at the girl standing in front of him, he still couldn’t remember who she was.

“I’m sorry, you are? Have we met?”

“Jiang Xue! I am Jiang Xue!”

Li Rui’s eyebrows were tied in a knot and he tried really hard to recall anyone with this name, but he still couldn’t remember who this girl was.

“Could you be a little more specific?”

While looking at Li Rui’s lost face, Jiang Xue laughed out of anger.

“Oh, the genius Li Rui must have forgotten about peasants like us. You don’t even remember your opponent in the finals of the Shanghai National Championship from two years ago. Looks like you really didn’t take me seriously.”

Then, Li Rui finally remembered and gave himself a facepalm.

“Oh, now I remember! You’re the girl that cried because I defeated you!”

They always say that girls would change as they grew up, and indeed, within two years, the tomboy back then had become a beautiful girl that Li Rui couldn’t even recognise!

‘Oh sh*t!’

Haung JunCai seemed to hear the sound of her teeth breaking.

‘Sh*t, an unconscious insult was the most deadly!’

“Don’t be too happy. I’ll definitely win you today!”

Jiang Xue was so angry that her face was flushed red. Then, she was stopped by an arm.

“Li Rui? I’m He Jianan, Jiang Xue’s senior. I look forward to competing with you later.”

As he saw that He Jianan who reached out his hand with a blank expression, Li Rui took a look at him and Jiang Xue. He immediately knew what was happening.

Kids these days had brains that were filled with hormones and they didn’t even put any effort into their studies!

‘They’re dating?!’

‘Last time when we were students, we didn’t even have enough time to sleep!’

‘Ay… they probably had too little homework!’

With a sense of jealousy, Li Rui smiled as he shook his hand.

“Hmm, I look forward to that too.”

Li Rui could feel the hand that was slowly tightening, and Li Rui couldn’t help but shake his head.

These kids were just too gullible. Even if you wanted to lash out the anger for your crush, you didn’t have to do it this way right?

This was just… suicide!

Suddenly, Li Rui started clenching, and He Jianan’s expression changed.

He felt as if he was not holding a hand, but he was holding an industrial hydraulic press.

Li Rui’s face was still calm and as he tightened the grip, He Jianan couldn’t help but take a deep breath as droplets of sweats were formed on his head.

He had to bear the pain just for his ego. He had to gather all of his energy at his palm to reduce the pain.

Boom!

The sound of two metals hitting each other came from their handshake and both of them were forced to let go.

He JianAn immediately placed the trembling hands behind his back and pretended to be calm.

Li Rui took a glance at the two of them and smiled. He nodded at them, turned around, and left.

These little bastards had not been beaten up by society and wouldn’t know how the outside world looked like yet.

As an elderly, Li Rui had the responsibility of teaching them.

“Senior? Are you okay?”

Jiang Xue stared at He JianAn’s hand worriedly. There were bruises that were slowly appearing on his hand.

“I’m fine.”

He JianAn would never show his weakness in front of his crush. He still maintained a calm expression, but his twitching eyebrows already exposed the pain deep inside.

He started the game himself; he had to finish it even if he had to cry till the very end!

“Senior, what was that sound? Is he one of them?”

Jiang Xue’s face became pale. Initially, she wanted to avenge for herself, but if Li Rui was really the same type of person as her senior, then she would never have the chance to do that in the future!

“Yes, and he’s very powerful!”

He JianAn stared at Li Rui’s figure with a serious look.

That uniform meant that he was from Ming De Nine-Tailed Fox. They already had a monster there, and with Li Rui, they may even change the rankings of the schools in Shanghai!

‘Forget it, that’s something that Yi Zhong should think about. It’s none of my business.’

‘The only thing that I have to think about now is how to defeat him!’

He shook his head and disregarded all the chaotic emotions in his head. He stared at Li Rui as he disappeared at the end of the tunnel.

“Xue, don’t worry. I’ll kick his ass for you.”

He Jianan patted on her head and she immediately blushed and nodded happily.

The matches in the afternoon were just like how Li Rui had expected. The hidden scores accumulated from his continuous wins prevented him from being disturbed by those weak chickens. All the opponents that he had after that were all-powerful ones.

Although they weren’t Awakeners, they still allowed him to gain some experience. The only bad thing about it was that it did not trigger the [Kill a Hundred] mission.

If he couldn’t kill his opponent, then only Awakeners would be able to trigger the mission.

Li Rui sighed secretly and realised how difficult the mission was.

Not only did it require his enemies to be strong enough, he still had to win continuously!

Anyone who had played the game would know how difficult it was to win a hundred matches continuously!

As long as your continuous wins were slightly more than usual, the system would automatically match you with much stronger players where both the winning rates would be close to only 50%.

Till now, the calculation method for their overall points were almost the same as the way that it was done in the game that he played in his previous life.
