Befriending the Most Powerful PersonCh5 - Continuing the battle

Even if he used his toes to think, Shao Ci would know that the “friend” Chu Jin mentioned was himself. His expression changed subtly as Chu Jin walked closer.

Shao Ci didn’t like Chu Jin. In fact, he loathed him… As soon as he realized Chu Jin wanted to come over to eat, his appetite disappeared. 2eDQFv

“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet the two of you here.” Chu Jin had a proper smile on his face. His handsome appearance made it difficult to dislike him. He had basically never been rejected by someone before. “If you don’t mind, can I come eat?”

“What if I say no?” Yin Han said coldly. He pushed the tea in front of Shao Ci naturally, not sparing a glance for Chu Jin.

Chu Jin froze. The expression on his face didn’t change, but his hands secretly curled into fists. Even if his ability couldn’t compare to Yin Han’s, he was still the strongest in S City. He had never thought that Yin Han would refuse to give him face. But if he shrank back so quickly, he could never continue to mix in S City’s circles.

“Mr. Yin is quite funny.” Chu Jin looked up, a perfect smile pasted on his face. He continued walking to sit down next to the window, sizing up Shao Ci, who had his head lowered. “It’s just a meal. Is it so difficult to give me a little face?” qHoGNx

An icicle burst out of the ground, blocking Chu Jin from moving forward. The air cooled. Numerous tiny icicles solidified on the icicle, rapidly sprouting out in all directions. In an instant, they filled the small room.

The icicle was about as big as the one that had stopped Shao Ci from leaving yesterday, but the offensive power was at least ten times as strong. It was enough to tear a zombie into mincemeat. It was obvious how terrifying it would be if Yin Han had really attacked.

Everything had taken place in the span of half a breath. If Chu Jin hadn’t reacted quickly, nimbly taken a step backwards, and used his ability to create a bubble around himself, then the icicles might have left wounds all over his body.

“You…!” Chu Jin’s face turned ugly. Even the other waiting customers noticed that the two powerful ability users seemed to be about to fight, and had scattered quickly. If normal ability users were having a catfight, they would still be able to control it, but this was the strongest ability user in their base and the legendary Yin Han. There was nobody who would throw away their lives to prevent the fight.

Oh no, they aren’t about to fight, right? Shao Ci started eating quickly, knowing everything had taken a turn for the worse. He had spent so many of his hard-earned crystals on this meal! If he didn’t finish his food, then wouldn’t the crystals he spent be for nothing… It was all Chu Jin’s fault.

Though it seemed as if there was something wrong with his main focus.

The heavy aura of a strong ability user pressed down on him. Chu Jin’s breathing stopped for split second. Against the opponent’s powerful ability, his legs turned weak and he nearly sank to his knees, but he forced himself to maintain his posture. His pride didn’t allow him to lower his head in front of another ability user.

Chu Jin’s gaze unconsciously moved to Shao Ci and he discovered that Shao Ci was actually applauding, looking as though he was having a great time… His fury immediately peaked. He wanted to rush up and question Shao Ci about what was going on. Did the months that they spent together count for nothing compared to the one day he had known Yin Han!

But he couldn’t do it. He could only clench his fists, telling himself that Shao Ci just wanted to get his attention.

In his temper, Chu Jin finally understood how great the difference between himself and Yin Han was. JPSL0x

He originally thought it was just the difference between a level in their ability. He wasn’t much worse than Yin Han. But the cruel reality that Chu Jin had no choice but to accept was that the difference between their levels was as great as the fall to a bottomless ravine. No matter how furiously he chased after Yin Han, he couldn’t catch up.

And now, Shao Ci, who had liked him so much before, had also… It was all Yin Han’s fault. Everything was his fault! If it wasn’t for him, everything would return to normal.

Chu Jin gritted his teeth secretly. He recalled the method of becoming stronger by using ability user crystals that he had once heard from the researchers, and his heart slowly calmed. He forced a smile on his face. “It seems Mr. Yin doesn’t welcome me, so I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll leave first.”

Despite being humiliated, Chu Jin maintained his elegant manner. He turned and left. Ul6Dda

After he left, the icicle on the ground melted into liquid. Before it soaked into the ground, it evaporated instantly, disappearing until there was no trace remaining. There wasn’t a single mark on the ground. It was as though the surrounding spectators had dreamed it up.

Shao Ci, who had witnessed everything, felt understanding. At the same time, he was even more aware of Yin Han’s strength. He had thought Chu Jin was impressive, but it turned out that he was still far from reaching Yin Han’s level. No wonder the system had changed capture targets so quickly.

Then he suddenly remembered a very, very, very scary thing.

Since the only person stronger than Yin Han was the final boss, the zombie king, th-then when he met the zombie king, wouldn’t he have to run over to the zombie king to suck up?! fePGbp

But the zombie king wasn’t human, so he probably wouldn’t have to.

[Host, how can you not want to make friends with someone else just because they’re not human? You should treat every life the same.]

Shao Ci: “!” This system had given up on morals in order to hug the big thigh, haven’t you!

Hugging the zombie king’s big thigh was just a way to go die, alright! yX3o5T

Even if the target was even more scummy he could take it, but the zombie king… Shao Ci’s mental image was too horrifying. It made him lose his appetite immediately. He couldn’t swallow the rest of his meal anymore.

“Is that Chu Jin really so good?” When Yin Han saw Shao Ci’s sorrowful expression, his mood sank. He suddenly said, “You like him so much?”

“No I don’t!” Shao Ci refuted almost immediately, feeling like his taste and sexual orientation had been insulted. “How could I like him. Before, it was all because…” He bit his lip, suddenly realizing that this was the perfect chance to boost Yin Han’s favorability level. He immediately said, “Before, it was all because I was blind. Since I met you, Chu Jin isn’t even on the level of a piece of trash in my eyes. You’re the only one that I really want to follow!”

The first few sentences were all Shao Ci’s true feelings. The extras were the system’s plug-in that made it sound even more sincere. Even someone more shrewd wouldn’t be able tell where he was being dishonest. RC6kQX

Yin Han’s distress settled. He reached out to pat Shao Ci’s head. With a low voice, he said, “I believe you.”

By now, Shao Ci didn’t trust the system’s favorability detector. He didn’t know what kind of weird settings it had. This system could only detect if the favorability was zero or not. It couldn’t even tell what value the favorability was at. This was just a scam.

Other than people like Chu Jin who were shockingly scummy, who would cling so strongly to a zero-point favorability score for so long?

Oh, right! Shao Ci’s eyes gleamed. EFC3t1

Since he knew the original plot, he could kill off the zombie king before it matured! According to the original novel, the zombie king should be around S City right now. It just so happened that Yin Han was going out to clear zombies tomorrow.

After he finished eating, Shao Ci hurriedly found an excuse to go back to his apartment by himself. Even if he was hugging… even if he wanted to be Yin Han’s friend, it was too crazy to be sleeping with the target. He didn’t want that kind of thing to happen a second time.

Shao Ci was thinking about how he could get Yin Han to go where the zombies were. When he reached out to push open the door, he discovered the door that should have been locked opened easily!

“Fuck!” Shao Ci noticed the door handle had turned misshapen. The lock had been destroyed even more violently… It was clear that someone had forced the door open. yx9Lou

Who in the world would break into an ability user’s house for no reason? Their guts were big enough to fill the sky. Could it be Chu Jin’s fangirls?

Despite how terribly he thought of Chu Jin, Shao Ci never thought that the one who had broken in was Chu Jin. After all, seeing how Chu Jin treated him, he probably didn’t even know where he lived.

“Well, I’ll just see how my place is doing first then,” Shao Ci sighed, walking inside. In the blink of an eye, he was grabbed in an unbreakable hold and pressed against the wall. 

Shao Ci’s shoulders crashed harshly into the wall and burst into pain, but he didn’t have time to heal himself. He stared at the person in shock. “W-why?” nC 08W

Why did Chu Jin, the protagonist, break into an apartment belonging to someone he had 0 favorability towards!

Chu Jin held Shao Ci’s shoulders down, his expression still falsely warm as usual. His tone was helplessly, as though he was coaxing a naughty child. “Xiao Ci, I know I’m not good, and I shouldn’t have been like that… So don’t be so headstrong anymore. Be good and come back to my side.”
