Chapter 75 Do You Desire Power?

After separating from Asuka in front of the three Western-style dormitory buildings, Ogao climbed back to her dormitory through a big tree in front of the dormitory building.

She had previously hidden herself from the surveillance of the dormitory supervisor in this way, and now she was just repeating the same trick.

After returning to her room, Ogao summoned Li Zheng again, hoping that he could continue to talk about the ways he had said before that could make her stronger.

"Bang~" The smoke exploded, and a certain ghost appeared in front of the girl - looking at the wisp of smoke behind him, people couldn't help but wonder if he would say something like "Girl, I can fulfill your three wishes" in the next second.

["Stupid girl, I can fulfill your three wishes, just say your humble wishes."]

Well, there is no need to doubt it now, he has already said it, and even added some dirty words.

【“Stop talking nonsense. I really want to ask you something.”】 The girl didn’t have the time or mood to complain about why Li Zheng appeared with a “genie” special effect and said so many dirty words. She asked him her most pressing question, 【“What’s going on with Asuka’s brother? Do you know?”】

【“This is very simple.”】 Li Zheng didn’t say anything nonsense to her about this, but explained to her carefully: 【“Because the space vibration caused by the battle between duel spirits or duelists can cause this level of collapse, ordinary duelists and spirits really can’t do it. ”]

After the theoretical explanation, perhaps because the girl didn’t quite understand what level of “general spirit” was, a certain spirit behind her made some additional explanations:

[“For example, the snake you just met a while ago, he doesn’t have the ability to do such a thing.”]

(Ananda: I’m really sorry that I can’t meet your eyes!)

[“This… then what?”] This is basically equivalent to not saying anything, because Marufuji Ryo had already said that the incident was caused by the duel, and Li Zheng’s words were just to set a limit on the matter.

【"Then? There is nothing else."】 Li Zheng shrugged, automatically ignoring the step of "adding a little more details" that teachers always like to skip when teaching people to learn to draw, and said to the girl in front of him: 【"It has already happened, and figuring out why it happened is not the first priority. The important thing is that neither you, Asuka, nor that kid named Maruto Ryo have the ability to solve this matter."】

【"Strength...?"】 Clenching her fist unwillingly, Ogao bit her lips, and then looked at Li Zheng in front of her with a very tangled look.

She did doubt whether Li Zheng was scaring her, but since Li Zheng had said before that he wanted to create that kind of effect, even the "evil dragon Ananda" who had suffocated her before didn't have this ability, then with just her little skill, if she really ran over, it would probably not be as simple as giving away her head.

It was really strange. Before today, the girl was very confident in her swordsmanship that she had practiced for more than ten years. But since a certain spirit behind the surname Li opened a door to a different world for her, the girl, whose worldview was constantly refreshed, always felt like a salted fish.

This made her feel very uncomfortable - Ojiaou has never been the type to be a salted fish. Once there is something beyond her ability, she always hopes to change the status quo through her own efforts. She has been like this for so many years since she was a child.

And now, her thoughts will not change - it's just that this matter may not meet his wishes.

["Don't want to have such a time bomb around you, so you want to deal with it? Or... just want to help?"] Li Zheng asked the girl in front of him. He estimated that the other party's mentality at this time should just want to help Asuka, but what if she just wants to protect herself? When humans think about self-protection, they can invest much more than when they think about helping others.

Take now, for example, if Ojiaou's purpose is to protect herself, then the possibility of tempting her to open a plug-in service will be more than 90%.

【“I just want to help Asuka.”】Ojiaou’s answer did not go along with the intention of the spirit behind her, 【“So, I hope you can help me.”】

【“Then it’s time to ask the classic question: Girl, do you desire power?”】Li Zheng once again took out the list he had shown to Ojiaou on the way to the Duel Academy: 【“Fresh external plug-ins for sale, fair prices, no cheating, I guarantee that after you use them, you will be able to beat most legendary duelists so hard that their parents won’t recognize them…”】

【“Wait a minute…”】The girl looked at Li Zheng in front of her with a look of “Sure enough, this is the development again”. A drop of cold sweat dripped from her forehead, representing embarrassment, and she coughed twice, then looked at Li Zheng with a serious expression: 【“Is there only a ‘plug-in’? Don’t you have… a way to become stronger through real training?”】

This was also Ojiaou’s only request - even if it was a little harder and more tiring, she hoped that her strength would grow up step by step by herself, rather than from a plug-in that she herself didn’t understand.

[“…”] After hearing the girl’s request, Li Zheng’s telepathic communication paused for a moment, then he looked at Ojiao in front of him with some confusion, then stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead.

"Hmm..." Ojiaou originally thought that it was just a normal poke on the forehead, but she felt a comfortable feeling she had never experienced before, and her mind became clear in an instant, as if she had just experienced more than eight hours of high-quality sleep.

Originally, she should have felt dizzy because of hanging out late at night, but now Ojiaou no longer felt tired.

"This is..." Ojiaou was so surprised that she didn't want to use her mind to convey the message anymore. She looked at Li Zheng in confusion, wondering why he suddenly did this.

【“If I sell this trick to someone else, it will take three years. If I sell it to you, I will only charge you three months.”】 Li Zheng did not directly answer Ojiaou’s question, but first pointed out the location of this trick from the previous list. Its corresponding price is “three months of life”. 【“In fact, my price is very scientific. It takes three years for ordinary people because it takes ordinary people three years to master this trick; but for you, because I am an old driver leading the way, it only takes three months.”】

【“So?”】 The girl didn’t know why Li Zheng suddenly brought up this matter at this time.

【“So I don’t understand, why don’t you take such a good shortcut, but take the long way?”】 When Li Zheng asked this question, his eyes were unexpectedly serious.

It seems that this question... Li Zheng is not just asking Ojiaou.
