“There will be an evening ball tonight, and a Disaster Relief Drill tomorrow. The day after next, we will be sending over supplies to the poverty-stricken areas in the mountains.” Cheng Ming Xuan summarised. “You’re not needed tonight and tomorrow night, do whatever you want, just don’t make any trouble. We’re heading off together the day after the next. According to the original plan, we will be visiting three villages, one per day. If you add the travel time, it’ll probably take around five days in total, before we head back. The entire trip will take around seven days. We’ll wait for you at the pickup area. If you’re not there on time…”

“We’ll handle it ourselves.” Zhao Jing Lei finished. 

“No.” Cheng Ming Xuan shook his head. “If you don’t arrive on time, we still have two other villages outside our plan that we can visit. We can spend at most two more days outside.”

“Everything will last around ten days, shouldn’t be an issue.” Zhao Jing Lei hummed. “We don’t have a lot of people with us. If the mission goes as planned, we can finish it before the foreign powers mix themselves in. If things don’t turn out well… even though we’re in the mountainous area, we can’t go up against them in broad daylight, we might be seen.”

“Why am I getting a the-slow-needs-to-start-early vibe…” Ai Er Ge mumbled, “and I’m getting a flight-if-we-can’t-fight them message.”

Zhao Jing Lei froze before he glared at Xuan Mo: “Xuan Mo! Where’d you get yourself such a joker?!”

To his surprise, Xuan Mo nodded: “I actually have to agree with him.”

“The heck!” Zhao Jing Lei was left in an awkward situation, and turned to mumble to himself. They could vaguely hear him saying if they were from Y country he’s gonna OOXX them, if there were from M country, he’s gonna YY them and KO them and whatnot…

Cheng Ming Xuan laughed: “Let’s not make things difficult for Ah Lei, things are tough as it is, we’re not familiar with the area either, and yet we need to sort out something as complicated as this. He’s got to source for funding, talents, and sort out everything under the pressure from the higher ups, he’s only three years your senior.” 

“Oh.” The most powerful alien in the last two hundred million years was very calm and collected. At that, she stood: “We’re done?”

“…”

“I’m leaving then.” At that, she turned to leave.

Ling Yun and Ai Er Ge quickly tagged after Xuan Mo’s retreating silhouette. When the door closed, there was a vague inhale heard.

Even though Henan had the word “South (Nan)” in its name, it was in fact it was the north, therefore it was a cold and dry place. Xuan Mo was not a single bit curious, neither was she interested in heading out. And so, she only requested a copy of the mission details and other related documents and returned to her room to look through the information. 

She was used to being on her own, she could stand solitude, and she was always an indoors person to begin with. This wasn’t the case for the other two guys that came along. Ling Yun and Ai Er Ge made a few rounds outside on the first day before they lost interest. They spent their second day nestled in Xuan Mo’s room chatting instead. 

After learning about Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge’s identity, Ling Yun had been quite afraid of them, and so he’d never asked about it before. Afterwards when he found his way over to Xuan Mo’s place to seek asylum, he didn’t manage to satiate his curiousity due to Lu Yu Chen’s constant death stare. Now that it was just the three of them, and after making sure there was no one eavesdropping, he couldn’t reign in his curiosity anymore. 

“Xuan Mo, where are you from?”

“City H.”

“…as in where in the galaxy.”

Xuan Mo understood what he was getting at — he’s tryna figure out her background. There’ll be an endless stream of questions after this, she reckoned. And so, she quickly pointed at Ai Er Ge instead: “He knows me better than I do —  even more updated and detailed than what I know.”

Ai Er Ge had been incredibly bored. At that, he sat down confidently and declared: “Ask away!”

“Oh oh! Are you guys from the same race?”

“No!”

“You guys…” ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 173 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

Ling Yun spent the entire afternoon asking questions. The more he learnt, the more flabbergasted and frightened he got, and the more he sweated. In the end, his questions died down to a tiny whisper in Ai Er Ge’s ear: “No way, she’s that merciless?”

“Duh! During that war, she made a military order just before the war itself, that there will be no prisoners of war! What does that mean? That means annihilation! Leave no soul alive!” Ai Er Ge exclaimed in protest. “That was the most merciless bloodbath ever witnessed by the Galaxy, none other was as insane as this one. The entire planet was moaning. What was more cruel was that the majority of the Great Coalition union was made up of Scorpions, so they naturally could sway the decisions made. The Great Coalition had only issued a tokenistic admonition and didn’t bother with the war. But this Marshal was as shameless as she could get, when she saw the announcement, she’d exclaimed for the stinky bugs to get their asses out if they dared! Even if they didn’t, she was gonna hunt all of them down!”

“Goodness, that’s insane!” To Ai Er Ge’s surprise, Ling Yun was starry eyed. “What a powerful Marshal!” 

“Don’t you think that’s too merciless?! She’s annihilating an entire race!”

“Didn’t you say the Autrians were the ones that provoked the Scorpions first, and that they melted the Hui Xing Clan with weapons; as the Marshal of their planet, her anger is understandable.” Ling Yun was in admiration, “if only our country was as unwavering and supportive.” 

Ai Er Ge was speechless, and even tried to give more examples to prove how wrong Ling Yun was, and that the person he’d pursued once upon a time was actually a bloodthirsty demon. Ling Yun registered none of this, and instead made a remark that left Ai Er Ge floored and speechless: “Ai Er Ge, you’re so familiar with all the things she’d done, you even remember the things she said before the war, you must have very strong feelings for her!”

An amused Xuan Mo who had been busy gaming turned to look at the flabbergasted Ai Er Ge: “Wha—what?” 

Ling Yun patted him with a knowing expression: “Aye, inter-racial relationships is difficult, all the best!”

“Oi oi, I just, it’s just that I’ve researched the Spirit Monument before. Hold up, the entire Coalition can recite her feats asleep! Hold it! Whatever you’re thinking of, stop it!”

Ling Yun had already confirmed his suspicions, and had no intentions of changing his mind. 

“We’re freaking arch-enemies!” Ai Er Ge’s howl reverberated in the room. 

Bright and early on the third day, together with Cheng Ming Xuan’s team, thirty or so people boarded the bus and started their journey. There were two more lorries and jeeps carrying goods tailing after them. 

The staff following Cheng Ming Xuan were all very tired. There were two distinct types of people after everyone got on, the twenty-two staff members, including Cheng Ming Xuan himself, sat at the front of the bus and napped; the remaining fifteen were the action team, and all of them were very spirited.

They were dressed casually. There were eight people among them that had on a cameo jacket that they’d bought from some random stall around here; most of them had a sturdy physique — in other words, fit and tan. The remaining seven of them were characteristic in their own ways, and were dressed according to their age and personality respectively. The most conspicuous out of everyone was probably Xuan Mo, Ai Er Ge and Zhao Jing Lei. 

One was a pretty girl, one was a Eurasian guy, and the last one a mixed guy.

When Cheng Ming Xuan got on the bus, he joked: “You guys are really not suited for jobs like these, you’re too attention-grabbing.”

At his words, the three of them pulled their caps even lower in silence. 

Against the sound of the news playing in the background, the bus drove into the mountainous area. The entire journey was silent. When they reached their destination, the fifteen members of the action team got off the bus. The people in the two jeeps alighted first, followed by the last jeep that drove out behind the lorry, and the last five people got off. The three groups of people did not converse. Each team went off in their own direction. 

Xuan Mo, Zhao Jing lei, Yi Fei, and two other soliders were seated in the first jeep. Seated in the shotgun, Zhao Jing Lei sighed lightly: “Let’s go, stick to the route!”

The moment they got down, Xuan Mo’s mental net had already accurately engulfed the entire five kilometre radius. She looked at the mountainous area and squinted her eyes. 

She looked backwards. Ai Er Ge was still seated in the other vehicle, staring blankly at her, before he nodded. 

“There are three forces here, they’re all dispersed in different locations, and all of them have a big piece of the golden stone each.”

“We’re not surrounded.”

“Neither are we the first to make it here.”

A strange expression coloured Zhao Jing Lei’s face when he saw the three of them at his doorstep.

“Xuan Mo, this isn’t a team bonding outing…”

Xuan Mo pointed at Ai Er Ge: “He has some special detection abilities.” She pointed at Ling Yun next: “as for him, he’s the assistant, he’s self-funding this trip.”

Ling Yun was bitter: “Not only am I self-funding, I wanted to join this on my own.”

“…” Zhao Jing Lei rubbed his temples. When the throbbing didn’t ease, he rubbed them again before sighing, “they know?”

“Enh…” Xuan Mo looked at Ling Yun, “they do.”

“Alright.” Zhao Jing Lei said no more and instead opened the door to his car, “get on then.”

Ling Yun woke up bright and early this morning, and hence he managed to catch on to their tail before they left. Xuan Mo’s mother left for work before they even got up. Lu Yu Chen was the only abandoned poor soul that was still well asleep, unbeknownst about this sudden trip that cropped up. Ai Er Ge left him a note to inform him briefly about their trip. And with that, the three of them left without a second thought. 

Xuan Mo was always one to get things done before updating her mother. Just before she boarded the plane, she dialled for her mother and told her she was travelling with XX. 

Xuan Mo’s mother was incredibly saddened by the fact that her daughter was now an independent young lady who was very keen on making her own decisions. There was nothing she could do, apart from reminding multiple times for Xuan Mo to be careful on her trip.

Xuan Mo pacified her nicely and told her she was boarding the plane next before hanging up the call. 

By the time Lu Yu Chen woke up and called Xuan Mo, she was already on the flying plane with her phone switched off.

Ling Yun sighed: “So if I didn’t get up early, y’all were just gonna up and leave? And dump me back there?”

“That’s not a concern.” Xuan Mo was calm and collected. “Your existence wasn’t within the scope of our plans to begin with.”

“…if you guys aren’t around, I might have long died or something.” Ling Yun implored. “Even if I’m as only as helpful as an ant, at least show some love and concern for a helpless creature like me.”

“Zhao Jing Lei’s investigating you.” Xuan Mo looked behind them. “I won’t tell him anything, you sort it out yourself accordingly.”

Ling Yun cupped his forehead: “I can’t reveal your identity, but I still need to somehow convince them as to why I found you… Xuan Mo, don’t mind me, maybe I’ll just pretend to be a crazy pursuer that has a crush on you.”

“If you can convince them.” Xuan Mo gave a cold laugh. “They’re as good as the FBI, they can probably find out how many times you dug your nose in a day if they wanted to.”

“It’s fine, I can just say that I made up the things I posted online, the people that deleted my post didn’t leave any traces of it behind anyway. As for how I found you… Mo Mo, when I was on the run, all I could think of was you~~~” Ling Yun gave a gentle expression as he turned to look at Xuan Mo with a loving gaze. 

Meanwhile, just as Ai Er Ge was about to choke on nausea beside the two of them, and his head suddenly tilted to the side. The only feature that was left of his face was the area covered by his hair; the rest of his face had turned into a circular plate, his nose, eyes and mouth completely disappearing. The next moment, his entire being shrunk downwards; his stomach caved in and his body was as though it’s been compressed into a hardtack…

His eyes bulging from shock, Ling Yun witnessed the entire episode; no matter how much he’d wanted to, he couldn’t channel any voice in him to make any noise. He leant backwards into his seat in desperation, as though he was on the verge of passing out. Xuan Mo monitored Ling Yun half-heartedly to make sure he didn’t make too much of a commotion while pressing her hands against Ai Er Ge’s head and gave it a hard shove…

It was as though air was suddenly pumped back into Ai Er Ge’s body, and he immediately expanded. When his head returned to its normal shape, it even gave a pop sound. In a blink of an eye, he was back to normal. The entire deflation and inflation situation spanned only a few seconds. 

Ling Yun blinked his eyes, his mouth still agape and fists still clenched. For a moment, he’d thought he was hallucinating, until he saw Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge’s warning gazes before he zipped his mouth shut. He swallowed nervously, and stuttered: “Just, just now, that…”

Slam. Xuan Mo grabbed his collar and stared at him coldly. It was a hard stare that had Ling Yun beading in cold sweat. Xuan Mo slowly released his shirt: “Understand?”

“Yes, yes yes yes I understand…” Ling Yun’s broken voice was as though a radio channel with poor connection. 

“Humph!” Xuan Mo pushed him back. Ling Yun slammed into the back of his seat with a hard shove, cold sweat trickling down his back.

He knew Xuan Mo was not someone who liked to joke around, he also knew that he didn’t cross the line earlier, but the joke was just cracked at the worst timing possible — he almost shocked Ai Er Ge out of his human form… if it weren’t for Xuan Mo, they’re dead meat.

And so for the next two hours, Ling Yun was silent throughout; his mouth tightly shut and eyes looking straight ahead.

Ai Er Ge on the other hand was the most relaxed out of the three, and that was very understandable. When a weak creature found him or herself a stronger counterpart that could protect him or her, the weaker creature would be even more relaxed than the protector in the face of danger, because of the latter’s presence… Ai Er Ge didn’t even realise when he’d unintentionally developed such a reliance on Xuan Mo. 

While Xuan Mo was an enemy, she was an enemy that had the entire galaxy’s benefit in mind — in other words, she won’t leave him to wreak any havoc while they’re still on the blue planet.

After reaching City D in Henan, they were escorted to a four-star hotel situated in the city centre. In the end, Zhao Jing Lei didn’t leave Ling Yun to fund the trip on his own, and instead booked him a room as well. The three of them freshened up in their rooms before they were called into one of the meeting rooms at the hotel. There were around ten or so people sparsely seated inside. The person seated all the way at the front, was Cheng Ming Xuan. 

All decked out in suit, the elegant guy watched as Zhao Jing Lei brought the three of them in. He smiled: “Xuan Mo, you’re quite a surprise.”

Xuan Mo nodded and looked at Zhao Jing Lei. ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 172 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM  ♢ 

Zhao Jing Lei pointed at Cheng Ming Xuan and summarised: “The one and only investor of the Golden Stone research team, in other words, our big boss.”

“Doesn’t he do wine business?”

Cheng Ming Xuan smiled and replied: “It’s just that every time you see me, I was doing wine-related business… our family business is much larger in scale, we’re in everything that brings in money… you know? High tech industry generates the most profit out of all of them.”

“And real estate.” Zhao Jing Lei added.

“And, maybe entertainment and media too.” Cheng Ming Xuan smiled again.

“Oh.” Xuan Mo had only asked earlier to make conservation. She wasn’t actually interested in finding out how impressive or eligible of a bachelor this guy turned out to be. And so, she sat down calmly, “what do we need to be briefed about?”

CHAPTER 171 ♦ PREPARATIONS II

Ai Er Ge stood there in a daze. Well, you really can’t blame him. After obtaining a human body, the only memories he had in his head belonged to the obedient Xuan Mo. Work was an extraordinary setting for him, but he didn’t have to worry about food. After coming to City H, and having given in to the “order-in” lifestyle as a result of working at a LAN cafe, he’d not since once touched any kitchen appliances. 

Xuan Mo’s mother didn’t seem particularly surprised. From his attire, she figured that he came from a well-off family. She didn’t dwell too much on this though, and instead pulled him and Xuan Mo over together to sort out the hygiene. 

Lu Yu Chen had a room of his own here. There was a huge sofa in the study room and living room too. The three additional guys seemed very easy to look after, none of them had any disagreement about the sleeping arrangement. 

Meanwhile on Xuan Mo’s end, after she lied down, her mother came into her room, closed the door behind her and asked mysteriously: “Mo Mo, what are your thoughts on the three?”

“Thoughts?” Xuan Mo frowned. “And three of them?” 

“Yeah, I like all of them, c’mon tell me what you think of them, out of the three, who do you like?” Before Xuan Mo could reply, her mother continued: “Aye, you used to like that boy Yi Hai Lan in the past, you think I can’t tell? But you were too young back then. Even though Xiao Lan is a clever and obedient kid, he was still young. Now that you’re bringing back home three, things are looking much better, now spill it, who do you like?” 

How did Yi Hai Lan make a surprise return into their conversation again? Xuan Mo was a little dazed. What was her mother trying to say? Who did she prefer to go to the army?

“Hello, earth to my daughter?” Her mother waved her hand in front of Xuan Mo’s eyes. 

“None of them can do.” Lu Yu Chen was too hotheated and easily agitated, Ling Yun was not mature enough, Ai Er Ge, let’s not even talk about him, without her he’d never make it to the army, as for joining the Great Coalition army… humph!

“Are you sure? Yu Chen seems to like you a lot? He used to be your brother but you guys are not related anymore, your mother I’m a very open person… as for Xiao Ling, I’ve never heard you speak of him before so I don’t know, as for Ai Er Ge…” Her mother frowned, “I don’t know why I seem to quite like him, he seems like someone I would get along with very well, but you can tell from the get-go that he’s from a very well-to-do family, I’ll be worried if you marry into a much more affluent family.” 

Marrying into an affluent family!? Xuan Mo was amazed at her brain cannon. So this was what she was going on about? She’d thought her mother was asking her who would be going to the army? 

Xuan Mo didn’t know how to react, and so she shook her head: “Don’t worry about this, I have my plans.”

“You’re just undecided!” Her mother reprimanded, “if not you won’t be walking so close to all three of them? If you dilly dally with all three for too long, things won’t turn out well. You need to make your decision early, so you don’t waste their time either.”

“…” Xuan Mo was even more confused. Exactly who was she worrying about at this point. ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 171 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

In the end, their conversation ended on a not-so-sweet note. Ling Yun had nowhere else to go, Ai Er Ge had three days of leave, and Lu Yu Chen sucked it up and refused to attend to his father’s summons, as though he was willing to sacrifice everything just to stay by Xuan Mo’s side. Xuan Mo’s mother on the other hand immediately headed off with her friends the next few days to enjoy soaking in all the mahjong. And so, Xuan Mo had to spend the next three days with the mind-boggling group of them. 

Ling Yun was an astrology die-hard, and he especially liked astronomical phenomenon in particular. He had zero awareness that he was already venturing into the realm of another species, even though he had since a long time ago realised that Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge were temperamental… creatures that were not humans? And so he’d tried to keep his distance all the while. 

And then there was the oblivious Lu Yu Chen and the fearless and trouble-making Ai Er Ge. 

In the past three days, Xuan Mo had gotten so annoyed she’d really wanted to chop up Ai Er Ge. If it weren’t for his provocation, Lu Yu Chen wouldn’t be exploding all the time. The problem was, she couldn’t throttle any of them. Ai Er Ge’s arrival reminded her even once more of the rules of the Great Coalition. 

The four of them stayed in for three entire days. During their holiday, Lu Yu Chen discovered Ai Er Ger’s true identity. He laughed at how dumb the latter’s ID was, but at the same time he was green with envy of his powers, and was incredibly unreconiled about that fact.

Ling Yun also turned out to be a strategy game lover. The four of them finally found something in common, and hence managed to survive the holiday without anyone getting butchered. 

On the fourth day of Chinese New Year, Zhao Jing Lei’s call came in bright and early in the morning. He seemed to be incredibly urgent, almost: “Xuan Mo, do you want to travel?”

Xuan Mo rubbed her eyes, looked at Ai Er Ge changing before he left for “work”, and replied: “No.”

“…then what about work?”

“You have no rights to make me work.”

“I mean you did join the golden stone research team didn’t you.”

“The golden stone research is still called golden stone even though the golden stone was lost?”

“We lost the small piece of golden stone we had previously.” Zhao Jing Lei paused, “but we discovered the fully pieced one!”

Xuan Mo paused, before a strange feeling surfaced. She squinted: “What do you mean?” As she spoke, she raised her hand to gesture at Ai Er Ge to stop him from leaving. 

“The golden stone first appeared abroad, but it was camouflaged among the artefacts that were being resold overseas. Yi Fei had a few collector friends, and they specialised in purchasing lost artefacts that are sold on the overseas market, so when they returned they brought the golden stone back, but we didn’t expect there to be multiple golden stones in the same batch of artefacts. Because of the authentication and the subsequent publicity by the auction house, these golden stones have caught the attention of many overseas research teams. Some of them managed to get their hands on a sample… This is also why there was a lot of research on golden stones happening overseas.”

“Enh, and then.” Xuan Mo’s tone was very flat. She definitely heard Zhao Jing Lei’s excitement, but she had no idea what he was excited about…

“Did it not occur to you? The entire world is researching this golden stone, but the actual stones were mixed in the artefacts from our country — this means that the original piece must be somewhere in our country!”

“Oh.”

“You didn’t feel anything?” Zhao Jing Lei was very disappointed at her lack of reaction, “this means that only our country had mastered such a mysterious smelting technique in the past!”

“…” Xuan Mo really wanted to say, they were really very unlucky to have welcomed the galaxy door; wherever it went, it’d leave a trail of dead bodies of intelligent beings in its wake. In the end, she managed: “Enh, good for you… what do you need me for?”

“According to the data that we have on hand, the golden stones seem to be able to sense each other. There are a few organisations overseas that are eyeing this opportunity. We need to find the original body of the golden stone before them. We’ve almost collated all the necessary information to locate it. The stars will align in our favour, and we definitely will find it before the others!”

“Then go, why are you looking for me.”

Zhao Jing Lei coughed: “You know, our golden stone was stolen… even if it’s found now, we don’t know what’s gonna happen if we were to come into contact with the stone…”

“So I’m your guinea pig?” Xuan Mo laughed.

“I know your ability to sense the golden stone is intermittent, but it’ll definitely be much better than us going around like headless flies. We can’t continue without you this time.”

Xuan Mo looked at Ai Er Ge. She had expanded the sound barrier to include Ai Er Ge, so he would be able to hear the call, but no one else could. Ai Er Ge wore a complicated expression, one that was a mix of excitement and concern, before he finally nodded his head.

Xuan Mo raised a brow at him, and gave him a meaningful look.

Ai Er Ge clenched his teeth and spoke in Elgeian: “Even if they’re bringing you there to destroy it, I want to see it with my own eyes!” He knew that there was no way he would outlive Xuan Mo, he wasn’t as merciless as her, he would never be able to win her in a battle, neither would he be able to escape her control. He’d rather follow her over and check it out than not be able to see it at all. 

Xuan Mo nodded, and replied: “Alright, I’m going, when is it?”

“This is a secret mission. In order to keep it under wraps, we used another reason for this trip. You have one morning, go do some research on how to be a PA, you’ll be a PA to a celebrity. I’ll pick you up at 1:30pm in the afternoon, we’re going to Henan, we might be there for quite a few days, so bring your necessities. Don’t worry about not having everything, you can buy what you need there, it’ll be compensated.”

“Enh.” Xuan Mo checked the time, saying: “I’m bringing one more person over.” 

“What?” 

“I’m bringing someone that will definitely be useful and trustworthy over. That’s all, I’m hanging up.” 

After she ended the call, Xuan Mo looked at Ai Er Ge: “You’re really fine with watching me destroy it?”

Ai Er Ge gave a bitter smile: “D’you remember what I’d told previously, after you activate it, attract the others over…” 

“This is as risky as opening the galaxy door itself.” Xuan Mo didn’t agree. 

“Abdory, have you lost the courage of a Scorpion Marshal?!” 

“Ai Er Ge, this sentence fully explains why you’re only a small fry while I’m a Marshal.” Xuan Mo stood. “Go get a day of leave from Ah La Lei, we need to start prepping.”

“Brother? What are you here for?”

Lu Yu Chen sat himself down, panting. When he heard Xuan Mo’s question, he became particularly crestfallen: “My dad said y’all don’t really have anyone over so he told me to come over and look after you guys… who would have known… humph!”

“Oh, we do have people over, you can leave now.” Xuan Mo saved him no face as she joked. Things were getting prickly, and now she had another busybody sticking his nose in. 

“What did you say?! You’re telling me to leave, not them?!” Lu Yu Chen almost jumped up. 

Xuan Mo nodded consecutively: “This guy, and this guy, they have nowhere to go.”

“I, I, I was chased out by my dad too, I have nowhere else to go too, and c’mon I’m your brother, who are they to you? How can I leave you with a guy alone, no two guys alone in the middle of the night, did Aunt Xuan not say anything about this?”

“Then sit down.” After instructing, Xuan Mo’s expression fell, “and watch the gala!”

After Lu Yu Chen sat down, and he saw the shoehorn face appearing on the screen, he turned away painfully. Ling Yun had woken up. He looked around the room, asking in a daze: “What’s going on.” Suddenly he came to, his gaze bright, he exclaimed: “Aye! A— another one!?” He glared at Xuan Mo: “Is this the HQ or something?!”

Lu Yu Chen looked at him in confusion: “What?”

Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge immediately figured out what this guy was thinking about, he probably thought another alien came! Ai Er Ge’s lips twitched, before drawling: “He’s not.”

“What do you mean he’s not?” Lu Yu Chen asked, unresigned.

Ling Yun instantly got it. At that, he laid back down on the sofa: “I mean, now we have enough people to play mahjong.”

“Ah?”

“Then let’s play!” Ai Er Ge immediately replied. ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 170 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

Xuan Mo rolled her eyes: “Grab it from the storeroom yourself.”

As a mundane middle-aged lady, Xuan Mo’s mother had her own hobbies, and so Xuan Mo knew where the mahjong table was kept in the house. 

And so, the four young people gathered together at the table. The moment they sat down, Xuan Mo communicated with Ai Er Ge mentally via short-distance frequencies: “You know how to play?”

Ai Er Ge picked up a mahjong tile as though he’d been playing it for very long, and replied seriously: “No.” 

“And you still went with it.”

“Given our intelligence, I don’t believe that I can’t pick it up.” 

Xuan Mo minced her lips, and spoke honestly: “By the way, I don’t know how to play.”

“It’s fine, I can teach you!” Lu Yu Chen volunteered himself.

Ling Yun was silent, but he seemed as though he was a very skilled player. He asked: “We’re playing City H-style mahjong?”

“Of course!”

The three of them looked at Ai Er Ge: “Do you know how to play?”

Ai Er Ge clenched his teeth and forced out: “Yes!”

And so, the four of them started. 

The night passed as they played away; everyone at the table had won and lost. Among the four, three of them were perfectly fine, only Ai Er Ge was incredibly pale. Even his hands were trembling: “I, I, I…”

Xuan Mo had been incredibly amused at his situation throughout the entire night. Served him right for trying to act smart. When he finally figured out how to win the game, it dawned on him later that there were many ways to win. He racked his brains trying to figure everything out but his efforts were futile; he suddenly realised that the world of mahjong was indeed profound and endless.

Xuan Mo had told them that she didn’t know how to play from the start, she had no interest in figuring out the gameplay herself either. And so, Lu Yu Chen would move over and give her some directions at every turn. As a result, Xuan Mo didn’t make any particularly tragic losses that night. Lu Yu Chen was a seasoned player that had a number of strategies up his sleeves, meanwhile Ling Yun was smart and incredibly observant. It was just the two of them winning money the entire night, meanwhile Ai Er Ge was the only one that was losing money.  

“Aye, I thought I won’t be getting any lucky money during CNY, who would have known that I’d be able to receive some on CNY’s eve, haha!” Ling Yun produced the several red notes and made a gleeful effort to count the money. The scene pissed Ai Er Ge off so much the latter was slamming on the tables. 

Lu Yu Chen wanted to add fuel to the fire, so he immediately quipped in too: “What’s there to be angry about, this is probably just the amount you earn in a single night. Since you can’t finish it, we’re here to help you spend it, ahahah!”

“One night, what nonsense! This is the amount of money I’d earn in a month! And I didn’t even manage to work for an entire month!” Ai Er Ge grumbled. 

“Ah?! Fool’s Quay looks really high-end, didn’t know the pay was this low?”

“The heck, I’m working as a LAN shop manager right now, and even that is only two grand a month!”

“LAN shop?” After returning, Lu Yu Chen had not been to Thunder. At his reply, Lu Yu Chen was a bit confused, “I spoke to Ah La Lei recently, he told me that he hired a new and incredibly manager… it can’t be you can it?”

“It’s me!”

“…” Lu Yu Chen silently slid the money into his pocket, muttering: “What a tragedy, poor Ah La Lei, how in the world did he find himself such a noob in games, how exactly was this guy incredible, I sure ain’t seein’ it.”

Ai Er Ge snorted, not bothering to talk to him. 

If Ai Er Ge revealed that he was actually EGG, he might just give Lu Yu Chen quite a shock. It was a pity though that Ai Er Ge took after Xuan Mo, when they were in a game, they’d take it seriously, but when they’re out of the game, their gaming achievements didn’t come to mind. In the civilisations that they were from, even if the software was just a game, it had to have some sort of mental energy activation or development benefits, or combat improvement benefits, it wouldn’t be approved for release otherwise. 

Xuan Mo’s mother walked in. When she saw a roomful of youth, she paused for a moment before she broke into a smile: “Aye aye, it’s CNY today but it’s much livelier than normal! Come, what do you want to eat for breakfast, tell Aunt and I can prepare!”

Before Xuan Mo spoke, the three guys replied in unison: “Aunt, what do you want to eat! We can go out to buy!”

Xuan Mo’s mother was smiling so much her eyes were squinted into a fine line. She glanced at Xuan Mo meaningfully: “What are y’all planning to buy, it’s the first day of CNY today. What about this, maybe someone who can cook rice cake, glutinous rice balls and whatnot… Xiao Ling you’re a northerner right, you guys usually eat dumplings yes, go take a look in the fridge, there’s quite a bit in the freezer…”

“Alright!” After receiving instructions, Ling Yun headed off first, opened the fridge and started looking through the fridge. Lu Yu Chen’s father was usually not in, and they had no helper in the house, so he was pretty independent. At that, the latter went off into the kitchen too.

CHAPTER 169 ♦ SEEKING SHELTER II

After lunch, Xuan Mo’s mother spoke to them before she returned to her room to sleep. This left the three of them sitting in silence in the living room. Xuan Mo waited for a while before enveloping the room in a soundproof barrier. She turned to Ling Yun: “Alright, no one’s gonna hear, you can talk now.”

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hands, Ling Yun started recounting. 

After witnessing what had happened behind the hill, he naturally didn’t think of making a police report. His first instinct however was to go online, enter the Astrology Forum that was globally recognised and posted what he’d seen. He’d even uploaded images to prove his point. The pictures were taken with the astrology telescope, so they were very sharp. 

Of course he still left some aces up his sleeve, there were still some pictures that he didn’t upload; the ones he shared were mostly those taken behind the hill, where the red light alien transformed from a human into a ball of light and escaped, leaving a pile of clothes in his wake. Motivated by his own agenda, he’d deleted all the pictures with Xuan Mo in them.

He’d not expected anyone to believe him, because he’d seen more strange occurrences being posted on the forum before. He just wanted to try to figure out exactly it was that happened, and maybe gain some following on his account, hence as to why he actually shared this experience on the forum. Another reason was also because after so many years, he’d roughly figured that people in general usually didn’t believe things like that, so probably nothing was going to come out of this even if he shared it. 

However, not long after he posted it, his nightmare began. 

The second day, his post was deleted. 

Alarm bells immediately started ringing in his head. He didn’t raise the issue to the administrator, rather, he tightly followed the situation on the forum. When he realised that there was no discussion about the content that he had posted, he slowly let his guard go down. It was until one day when he woke up at home — his house was in the capital — and noticed that his room had been rummaged through. 

“They must be quite professional, I suspect that they took pictures of my room before going through it, and reverted everything to its original location. But what they don’t know is that I had adjusted the robot at my bedside table to move exactly one step every hour. By seven in the morning, my robot would have made it to my alarm clock, took out its gun and pressed the alarm.” Ling Yun said gleefully and self-deprecatingly. “But that morning, my robot only made it to the 4am spot, my calculations and automated robot have never gone wrong before, and so I checked through my room and am very sure that someone has gone through the space before.”

His earlier delight for his own devices turned into a bitter smile: “I literally went cold, and even hated myself for realising it so quickly. Thank goodness they were only here to probe around, imagine if they were here to kill me… I might drag my parents down too. I don’t ever leave anything important lying around in the open, they won’t be able to find anything, and they can’t do anything to me either, but at the same time, I have no idea what they want, who they are, in fact, I’m suspecting that the aliens have somehow tracked me down and realised what I’ve witnessed…” He looked at Xuan Mo, and again at Ai Er Ge. Ai Er Ge bit into a piece of fried prawn, and rolled his eyes in disdain. 

“After that, someone in the forum contacted me directly, they told me that they wanted the other pictures, but I knew I made a huge mistake. I only sent the pictures of the wounded alien, and not the person that attacked the alien, but the pictures they want are the pictures of the person that attacked the alien. In fact, they told me that they knew who I was, and knew where this was, they have been watching me, if I try to pull anything funny, they will…”

“This is why you didn’t dare to go anywhere on your own?” ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 169 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

“Yeah…” Ling Yun sighed softly. After observing for a few days, he realised that his school had really tight security; the patrolling police cars, officers and teachers were not just for show. So far, these had been largely able to fend off his external threat and create a safe space for him; at the same time, he wouldn’t need to drag his parents into this too.

Despite this, he was still worried, and such magnified anxiety had him feeling as though he was constantly under surveillance, or being targeted. This was before he came into contact with Xuan Mo; he literally had no idea who to suspect. It felt very helpless being sandwiched between a mysterious organisation and the aliens, he’d even thought about ending his life at some point in time. 

“Afterwards, I noticed that you became friends with Ai Er Ge. Don’t blame me for being overly sensitive, after all, a red light alien disappeared but a mysterious red-haired guy appeared by your side. Even if I am an idiot, I’d be able to figure it out, so I contacted you… It was then did I realise, the only threat that I am under is from the mysterious organisation outside school that didn’t dare intrude into the campus space. I didn’t tell you because I ‘d thought I was safe back then, so there was no need to bother you about all this.”

Xuan Mo understood: “Pity that it’s winter break now.”

“Enh… it’s winter break now…” Ling Yun’s bitter smile deepened, “I’ve applied for accommodations to stay in school, but someone tried to break into my dorm on the second night, so I escaped. I didn’t dare to go home and had nowhere to go. I’ve literally been going around three cities, I really have no other options, so I could only come here. I saw your info before in the records.”

“Are you holding on to anything?” Xuan Mo remained unperturbed, “pictures of me?” 

“I don’t know why they are so persistent about the photo, but look at the extent they are going to just to get my photos, if they were to figure out that it was you, things may get pretty bad for you.” Ling Yun scratched his head. “It’s not that I’m sacrificing myself to protect you, rather it’s more like since I’ve already exposed myself… it doesn’t make sense to drag you into all this, because no matter what, I think… they won’t let me go so easily.”

After listening to the situation, Xuan Mo could verify that the organisation behind all this was not Zone Seven, they didn’t do things like these, neither was it some National Security Bureau. The organsation behind this was probably the same people that Ai Er Ge mentioned earlier about the golden stone being stolen. It must be a foreign organisation. 

Recently, Ling Yun had thoroughly understood what it meant by “you know too much” and its consequences. When he saw Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge pondering over the situation, he was not a single bit curious about it. Rather, he fell backwards onto the sofa carelessly: “Whatever the situation is, tonight I’m staying here, I’m a weak human, you guys need to protect me!”

“The heck!” Ai Er Ge kicked him, “and I’m a living situation of a stranded E.T.! Are you gonna find me a spaceship back?!”

“Hehe.” Despite Ling Yun’s aloof appearance, there was nothing cool about his current demeanour even after being kicked. He hugged the cushion on the sofa and refused to get up. After successfully locating stronger and powerful people that can protect him, and spilling all the beans, he was in a very relaxed state. Even Xuan Mo’s chilly expression seemed comforting and familiar.

“I think I’ll receive a call soon…” Immediately after she said that, her phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Jing Lei. 

“Hello, Xuan Mo, Happy Chinese New Year.” Though Zhao Jing Lei gave his greetings, his tone was nothing as cheerful as his words, “so sorry to be disturbing you on a CNY eve.”

“Speak, what is it?”

“The golden stone was stolen… and we only received news about this recently. Things are not really working in your favour.”

“You think I stole it?”

“Oh, ‘course not, I know you’re very sensitive to the fluctuations of the golden stone, can you feel where it is now?” Zhao Jing Lei signed, “those assholes took advantage of CNY, now we have no clue where the stone went; obviously the people that stole the stone came prepared.”

“Don’t find excuses for your own inability. Also, I can’t sense the stone, I can only feel the special type of energy that it releases after the stone absorbs human blood, but I haven’t felt anything recently.” Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge’s mental powers hailed from different systems; she felt the fluctuations last time because she was nearby, but she didn’t feel the most recent one that Ai Er Ge mentioned earlier. Evidently only the Elge and those from the Coalition that were equipped with specialised devices would be able to detect the fluctuations. However, Ai Er Ge had not attracted the attention of Zhao Jing Lei yet, and so, there was no reason to throw him under the bus and into the limelight. 

“We’ve made some insightful discoveries lately, even though some of the materials uncovered seemed quite foreign, we discovered a new smelting method and material ratio, and it was enough to create a new material that was lighter, stronger and more heat-resistant than titanium alloy. This was really quite a breakthrough, but…” Zhao Jing Lei was very distressed, “we’ve finally managed to prove ourselves, but now we’re back to square one, Yi Fei’s not eaten for a few days now because of all this!”

Xuan Mo remained unmoved. She’d only seen Yi Fei a handful of times; that youth was incredibly passionate about the golden stone, but the extent of his passion was making her feel threatened. So honestly, whether or not he starved to death really didn’t matter to her. 

“Alright Xuan Mo, I won’t force you, but if you sense anything, you need to update us immediately… aye, looks like we can’t celebrate Chinese New Year in peace…” Zhao Jing Lei hung up.

Xuan Mo looked at Ai Er Ge. Ai Er Ge shrugged: “I’m not very sensitive to things like these, but I roughly did a quick calculation, it’s probably on some island in the pacific ocean right now, do you have a boat? Or a plane?”

Xuan Mo watched the CCTV New Year’s Gala expressionlessly: “Firstly, you keep your nose out of this. Second, if you want to go, swim your way over, I don’t plan to help you.”

Ai Er Ge felt very helpless and crestfallen. He shuffled over to Xuan Mo’s side, pressed his palms together and blinked his glinting eyes at her: “You don’t let me to touch it, but you let the blue planet beings touch it; you heard what he said too, it’s probably more dangerous for blue planet beings to touch something like that! Even if I do come into contact with the galaxy door, I won’t be able to find anyone to help me activate it, but this won’t be the case for these blue planet beings!”

Silent, Xuan Mo squinted her eyes.

“…” Ling Yun was already asleep on the side. 

Lu Yu Chen was welcomed with the following sight after entering — a cool-looking guy sprawled across the sofa hugging a cushion deep asleep, while Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge were sitting together on the long sofa, she was watching and the TV while he was watching her; it was an incredibly harmonious scene indeed. 

Whoosh! A volcano of anger instantly erupted in his head, Lu Yu Chen switched into attack mode, pulled Ai Er Ge away and growled at him: “why are you here?!”

“Shh! Aunt Xuan is sleeping!” Both Ai Er Ge and Xuan Mo heard Lu Yu Chen walking in, but both of them were too lazy to move. None of them expected him to kick up such a fuss the moment he came in. At the situation, Ai Er Ge instinctively slipped into the filial-daughter mode as per his memories and reminded him about the asleep parent.

Lu Yu Chen boiled in fury. He berated himself mentally for being so careless and overlooking that and annoyed that this chap noticed it before he did; at the same time, he glared at the guy in front of him, before he came to a shocking realisation, he’d already met Mo Mo’s mother?! And they seemed to have gotten along pretty well?! And who the hell was that other handsome guy sleeping on the sofa!? Who was that?! Who?!

What the hell was going on exactly!?

CHAPTER 168 ♦ SEEKING SHELTER I

Now that they’ve settled Ai Er Ge’s business, he was now officially employed. On the other hand, Xuan Mo had too much time on her hands and she was dying in boredom. At Ah La Lei’s crying and desperate request, Xuan Mo daily afternoons were spent at the LAN shop, helping to charge up Ai Er Ge while helping to bump up the reputation of the Thunder team. 

Abu’s return had stirred up much commotion among the gamers across the country. Some of the teams that had gone up against Xuan Mo had popped by the LAN shop recently for a few matches. Xuan Mo was not one to go easy or remain low-key, she went up against whoever who wanted to play against her, and slayed all of them. Local players KO-ed by her accepted her abilities, whereas cheers were sounded when foreign players were KO-ed by her.

Soon, a new skilled player by the name of EGG was born in the Thunder team. This player was unlike abu who would only attend two games, one in the afternoon and one in the evening; EGG was a resident member that played in every game there was. He was not an all-controlling commander in the team, rather he aced in post-attack preparations like the other teams, but what was insane about him was his speed, and his eccentric gameplay style. If abu was a team-centric player, then EGG was a top notch solo flyer. 

It was as per mentioned by one of the Thunder team members: with EGG on the team, they were fearless!

Ai Er Ge became Thunder’s new ace, not only was he earning money, he now had a place to stay and games to play, and so Ai Er Ge was incredibly happy. With that, Xuan Mo had nothing else to be worried about. Ten days later, Chinese New Year came.

Xuan Mo’s mother would always be busy until the last day before taking a break on Chinese New Year’s Eve. This was the first time the mother-daughter pair was spending their Chinese New Year together on their own. Xuan Mo’s mother didn’t intend to bring Xuan Mo back to her hometown this year, but when she thought about the three free days of public holidays, she realised she had nothing to do. In such a situation, both the mother and daughter were at a loss. 

Their apartment was empty of decorations, even the firecrackers exploding outside sounded a little lonely. Xuan Mo and her mother were each armed with a computer, the both of them had their reunion dinner as they surfed the net. Lu Yu Chen celebrated CNY with his father, and the two of them visited his grandfather. Even so, Lu Yu Chen was still a little worried, and called Xuan Mo to give his Chinese New Year greeting. Following that was an hour-long nagging from Lu Yu Chen, included within was his regret that he didn’t really look out for Xuan Mo these few days, and so he was suddenly reminded that Xuan Mo might be feeling lonely and whatnot.

Xuan Mo switched her phone to loudspeaker and left it beside her. She replied Lu Yu Chen with occasional hums, while her mother happy smiled to herself on the side. 　　

After the naggy brother Lu finally hung up, Ai Er Ge’s call came in. Xuan Mo picked up the call without thinking too much. 

“Xuan Mo! Marshall! Please take me in!” The voice that came in was a desperate howl, “I have nowhere to go, and it’s scary alone here in the LAN shop!”

“Why are you alone, y’all are not open?”

“I’m working but there’s not a single person that came in. Ah La Lei said he’d originally intended to give me a day of leave today so he’d hinted to his regulars that his LAN shop would be closed New Year’s Eve, and it turns out, there’s not a single soul here! I’m guarding an empty shop!”

“Then…” Before Xuan Mo spoke, her mother asked: “Mo Mo, is it that guy the you went shopping with, Ai Er Ge?”

Ai Er Ge was surprised that Xuan Mo’s mother still remembered him. It was only then did he realise that Xuan Mo had switched on the loudspeaker. At that, he immediately greeted: “Hello Aunt Xuan! Happy Chinese New Year Aunt Xuan!”

“Child, why aren’t you going home, what a poor thing to be out alone today, why don’t you come over and join us.” Xuan Mo’s mother replied, “you don’t need to bring anything, we have everything here, clothes to change and all, come join us, we still have food too!”

Ai Er Ge was elated, but he didn’t forget that the final decision-maker was his boss, and so, he asked gingerly: “Xuan Mo?” ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 168 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

Xuan Mo wondered how in the world did her mother survive till now, she really was one that didn’t think too much. Just the fact that she’d been bringing up an alien daughter was sufficient evidence, and now, before understanding the situation, she’d invited over another alien. Did she think she was invincible like the Sayyans?

But now that Ai Er Ge’s asked officially, and even her mother had agreed, she was not one to reject, and so she replied: “Come over then.” 

“Nice!” Ai Er Ge hung up.

Xuan Mo had been expecting an excited Ai Er Ge at the door, but when she actually opened the door, Ai Er Ge’s worried face appeared. 

“What’s wrong?” Xuan Mo brought Ai Er Ge in. He changed his shoes, greeted Xuan Mo’s mother and sat down beside Xuan Mo’s computer table in silence. 

“What happened?”

“Someone’s trying to fix the broken pieces.”

“What?”

“I felt some fluctuations earlier, it’s much stronger than what I felt last time, it might be coming from a large golden stone, but even so it won’t be this strong; I’m thinking someone brought together several golden stones.” Ai Er Ge gave a bitter smile, “Xuan Mo, you’re busy keeping your eyes on me, but I think the people that you should actually be keeping a lookout on are the blue planet beings, at this rate, they’ll attract the Coalition’s attention sooner or later.”

Xuan Mo squinted her eyes and looked down. It would be too draining to extend her mental powers all the way to the capital, and it would be too headless if she were to go there via the internet. Xuan Mo was really quite helpless right now, but Ai Er Ge was right about one thing.

Xuan Mo’s mother heated up the food, walked out and gestured for Ai Er Ge to come over to eat. Having figured that Xuan Mo would need some time to sort out her thoughts, he hummed in reply and sat down at the dinner table. 

Xuan Mo’s mental energy expanded instinctively. Suddenly, she saw someone running this way, and the person was heading in the direction of her condominium. He went up the building, checked the unit numbers one by one and stopped before her unit.

Before he could press the doorbell, Xuan Mo opened the door. She asked darkly: “Why are you here?”

The unexpected visitor at her door was Ling Yun. 

Safe to say, he was in a mess — he was breathless from running over, his clothes were dishevelled, and he was only armed with a small bag as his luggage; it seemed as though he was rather busy, and in quite a rush.

“Xuan Mo,” he panted and looked around anxiously, “there are some things that I didn’t tell you the other time, can you let me in first?”

Xuan Mo did not sense anyone in particular, so she remained standing: “It’s New Year’s Eve tonight, what are you doing here? You’re not celebrating CNY?”

“I, if I’m at home, they’d threaten me with my family.” Ling Yun replied. “There’s something they want, but it’s something I can’t give.”

“What does it have anything to do with me?”

“It does, it has everything to do with you.”

Xuan Mo squinted: “Are you threatening me?”

Ling Yun gave a bitter smile: “I really thought that was the end to it, who would have expected they were waiting for our holidays to start. Ever since the start of winter break, I’ve been travelling around avoiding them. I’ve really run out of options, that’s why I’m here… seeing that you are a large part of the reason I need to be on the run, can you let me in first?”

Xuan Mo contemplated for a moment before she moved aside for him to enter. Ling Yun zipped in, and immediately shut the door behind him as though there was someone chasing him. 

When Xuan Mo’s mother noticed that another dashing chap appeared, she was very surprised: “Oh my, what’s the situation this year? Your blossoms are really blooming*?”

* 桃花 = blossoms; the phrasing often used is peach blossom luck (桃花运), which refers to luck with the opposite gender 

“Hello Aunt, I’m Xuan Mo’s senior, I was travelling around the area, but cough, had a bit of a situation, and I can’t go back, so I came over to see if I could stay for a bit.” Ling Yun seemed to have figured exactly what he’d wanted to say, so half-truths flowed out the moment he opened his mouth. 

Ai Er Ge wasn’t in the know about Ling Yun’s situation. When he saw Ling Yun, and noticed Xuan Mo’s poor expression, Ai Er Ge turned to look at Ling Yun in curiosity. 

When Ling Yun suddenly noticed Ai Er Ge was also sitting down looking at him meaningfully, he shivered for some unknown reason, and at Xuan Mo’s mothers’ gestures, he chose the further seat to sit. 

Xuan Mo squinted her eyes. Ling Yun had only told her that he saw a red light last time, and didn’t continue. From his expressions however, it would seem that he didn’t tell the entire story; he wouldn’t be this afraid of Ai Er Ge otherwise. 

Xuan Mo slowly sat down beside Ling Yun, and suddenly spoke into his ear: “You seem to recognise him.”

“Hehe, Ai Er Ge, I do know him…”

“Then what about the red light?”

Ling Yun froze, not speaking.

T/N: hi guys the new sem started omg I’m so busy I can’t believe it??? Will try my best not to have to halt any projects; also THMYO is ending soon yay (finally?? LOL) do check out the other ongoing projects, both are super duper exciting!! In fact way more so that THMYO in my opinion XD

You Look Like You’re Drawing Me (weekly Tuesdays):

After accidentally becoming a half-demon and being hunted and chased down by a variety of creatures and beings, Yuan Yuan Yuan finally found a safe (or rather messy) enough city to settle down. Despite her attempts to continue a mundane life as a small, inconspicuous fry, fate prompted her to act otherwise — she crossdressed and disguised herself as a human to save another innocent human girl from a carnivore demon that one rainy night. Shortly after, Yuan Yuan Yuan realised that her favourite manga Demons that she’d been avidly following welcomed a new male character, one that was dressed in an eerily-familiar trench coat walking down a disconcertingly-familiar alley to save an unsettlingly familiar girl… And before she knew it, she found herself ensnared in a tangle of past crimson history, forcing her to stand on the shoulders of giants and assuming many precarious roles that she never once imagined. 

Chart Topper Queen (fortnightly Mondays):

An illegal galactic resident that finally escaped the Waste Planet, Ai Bei is on the mission to escape the tracker bots hunting her down and eke out a living in a completely foreign and civilised planet. When she chanced upon the Live-Streaming Transmigration Competition advertisement one day, Ai Bei decided to bet life on it to earn enough bucks to buy (or more accurately, fake) a galactic citizenship for herself. A virtual competition of the survival of the fittest? Well, Ai Bei was after all one of the very few that managed to crawl out of the most undesirable, polluted and forgotten planet in the entire galactic universe…

CHAPTER 167 ♦ LOOKING FOR A JOB II

last edited on ZLT: 19.07.22

This translation is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM

Xuan Mo’s mother glanced at the clothes Ai Er Ge had on before gasping in surprise, “My goodness Ai Er Ge, that’s some big brands you have on!”

The two of them were confused. 

“This shirt, and this pants… this is a new brand that was just recently brought in, you can only get these from the capital or their only boutique in City S, and it’s not something you can get your hands on just because you have the money, you need to pre-order, and need to be qualified as a member… Mo Mo, do you remember the dress your Uncle Lu gave you? It’s from the same brand.”

“…even so, this can’t be that recognisable can it.” Ai Er Ge asked innocently.

“My dear, the ads for this brand are rolling across all major platforms. There was a huge hoo-haa about several male celebrities vying to be the brand ambassador a while back, it lasted for quite a while even. At this rate, there’s no way this brand would be unrecognisable. Any employer would think you’re trolling them if you dress like this to apply for a job.”

Stunned by Xuan Mo’s mother’s explanation, the two noobs finally figured it out. When her mother turned around to find some clothes for Ai Er Ge, the latter gave Xuan Mo a thumbs up: “As expected of the military goddess, your observation skills are top notch!”

Xuan Mo’s lips twitched. She’d really just been hazarding guesses earlier. ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 167 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

Xuan Mo’s mother worked in the line of premium clothing for both ladies and gentlemen. She’d been working hard in this industry for several decades now, the brand that she’d built had several outlets across the country, and gained sufficient traction as a celebrity brand. It’s just that her mother was not a profit-centric business woman, so every step was taken with adequate consideration. Hence even though her current business was not particularly large, it was growing steadily. 

After changing into the clothes that Xuan Mo’s mother had selected, Ai Er Ge’s appearance seemed to have instantly lightened up. With the new attire, he looked less like a person swimming in money and authority, and a little bit more like a student. While Ai Er Ge was trying out the different clothes, every single conversation topic Xuan Mo’s mother brought up was related to his background; like every other parent, she was trying to figure out what kind of person this chap was. Even though Ai Er Ge was still a piping new Blue Planet being, he was definitely much more well-versed in his way of words. Up against Xuan Mo’s mother’s questions, he remained unfazed and collected. 

In the end, when it was time to leave, Xuan Mo’s mother silently communicated her approval of Ai Er Ge to Xuan Mo: “This chap’s not too bad, quite tight-lipped, he must have been taught well, and he’s probably figured out what I like, how thoughtful of him. If our families are not too far apart in terms of status, you can really consider him!”

Xuan Mo automatically filtered out the words her mother was sprouting. Only the remark about Ai Er Ge figuring out what she liked made her want to laugh. After all, he did inherit Xuan Mo’s memories. In fact, given how meticulous and social he was, he probably could outperform the careless Xuan Mo any day. 

After changing his attire, it was already evening by the time they left the shopping mall. The two of them briefly discussed before Xuan Mo decided to bring Ai Er Ge to the Thunder LAN shop to take a look. She hadn’t heard from Ah La Lei for a long while now.

Very coincidentally, there was a recruitment poster pasted at the entrance of Thunder LAN shop. They were recruiting a shop manager; the requirements weren’t strict, the only prerequisite was that the manager would need to work through public holidays, preferably even on Chinese New Year’s Eve, of course his pay would be doubled accordingly. 

This job was literally made for Ai Er Ge. He didn’t celebrate Chinese New Year, he wasn’t in an urgent need for cash, and he had no preferences…

When they entered, the LAN shop owner Ah La Lei, who was often only spotted gaming inside, was surprisingly seated at the counter, dozing off. Xuan Mo went over and knocked on the counter table. 

Ah La Lei’s hand reached out as he mumbled sleepily: “ID, money.”

Xuan Mo glanced at Ai Er Ge. Ai Er Ge understood the assignment, and cleared his throat: “Ahem, I’m here to apply for a job.”

“Oh…” Ah La Lei gave a small yawn before he suddenly zipped up, his eyes glowing: “What!? You’re here to apply for a job?!”

When he saw Ai Er Ge, he instinctively glanced behind him, there as no one there, when he looked to the side, his eyes instantly lit up: “Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo….”

Xuan Mo squinted her eyes and took a step back: “What do you want?”

“Goddess of war! Mars! I’ve missed you!” Ah La Lei stood and walked out from behind the counter. He ran over to the other counter and pointed at the entire wall, “look! The Global StarCraft Association did this up for you!”

Xuan Mo looked up. Under the dim lighting, a huge image covered the entire wall. Her name was printed on the image: abu, followed by a chart that noted down all her matches, the duration of her battles, her opponents and a variety of other information.

The sentence at the end of the chart wrote: “Abu — the one and only god of military.”

The wording was written in a mechanical font. The entire poster was electrifying. 

Xuan Mo had started gaining a following during the tournament prelims. After the finals, she disappeared completely from all social media and other platforms. Even though there were a number of imposters, they were quickly identified as a fake when the battle began. Gradually, the name abu became a peerless identity, and people no longer dared to assume this name.

“Abu — the one and only god of military.” Ai Er Ge softly read the line, before giving a bitter smile, “c’mon, you’re really gonna dominate the galaxy at this rate…” he turned and mumbled to himself, “to have an enemy like her, pressurising much…”

Ah La Lei continued on and on about how famous and majestic their team Thunder became because of her, and went on about how sad everyone became when she left. But because of her rapid-fire commands, everyone was now much quicker on their feet and rarely lost to others in terms of speed. Because of her, there were also quite a number of skilled players that applied to join their team…

Xuan Mo glanced at the phrase again, unmoving. Afterwhich, she pushed Ai Er Ge forward: “He’s here to apply for the LAN shop manager.”

Ah La Lei knew what kind of person Xuan Mo was, at that, he minced his lips, crestfallen, and turned to Ai Er Ge, his previous sincerity disappearing in a blink of an eye, and in its place returned his previous laze: “You’re applying for the LAN shop manager? This is not an easy job, Mo Mo, not that I want to nag but I’d originally intended to recruit those that come into this city for work, in particular those that can work through Chinese New Year (CNY), why because there are lots of customers who would turn to the internet during the CNY period when they are lonely… but to be frank your friend looks nothing like that… I need someone that works hard.” 

Xuan Mo smiled: “Why don’t you ask him.”

Ai Er Ge immediately puffed up: “I’m very hardworking! I definitely can take it! I can do whatever you need me to do!”

Ah La Lei was still doubtful. Given Ai Er Ge’s delicate looks, even his sexual orientation seemed blurry. Ah Le Lei really couldn’t imagine him working his ass off as a LAN shop manager, he better not receive a call in the middle of the night from him wanting to quit the job…

Ai Er Ge popped his head out, there was a curtain behind the counter, he could vaguely make out the outline of a bed, at that, he immediately smiled: “Can the LAN shop manager sleep here?”

“As long as there’s someone looking after this place, I don’t care what you do 24/7…”

“Fantastic! I love this job!”

“Don’t think the LAN manager will get to surf the net, it’s a troublesome job, there’s a million and one things you gotta settle, and you need to endure the customers too…”

“That’s not a problem, I won’t see them as humans.”

Ah La Lei was speechless. He couldn’t tell if Ai Er Ge was joking or not… it really was going to be a bit too much if he didn’t see them as people. But honestly speaking, given that he was Xuan Mo’s friend, Ah La Lei really wasn’t too surprised that he was a little eccentric. 

But he must say he was still a little worried. 

As they were speaking, two chattering girls walked in. When they saw the three of them gathered at the counter, they were a little confused. Before Ah La Lei reacted, Ai Er Ge had walked into the counter and smiled: “Please present your identification card and security deposit.”

“…”

The two girls walked off to their seats with great reluctance, their mesmerised eyes full of the person behind the counter. Meanwhile Ai Er Ge sent them off with a polite smile. Ah La Lei was floored: “How d’you know what to do?”

“I’ve been to LAN shops before, so I’ve seen how they do it.” Ai Er Ge’s smile remained polite.

“But why am I getting strange vibes from you, have you worked in a place that offers special services or something like that…”

Xuan Mo was getting annoyed: “So do you want him or no, decide quickly now, if not I’ll dump him elsewhere.”

“Yes!” Ah La Lei hollered, “no way I’d reject him!? Just look at his face, he’ll definitely be a crowd-puller!”

“…”

CHAPTER 166 ♦ LOOKING FOR A JOB I

last edited on ZLT: 19.07.22

This translation is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM

When Lu Yu Chen and Xuan Mo were collecting their tickets, Ai Er Ge rushed over. Topping Lu Yu Chen’s darkening gaze, Ai Er Ge handed his identification card to Xuan Mo as he grinned: “My name is Ai Er Ge.”

The IC he’d passed Xuan Mo was real. Ai Er Ge’s boss, evidently very well-connected and resourceful, managed to get him an IC, and in exchange, Ai Er Ge had to work his ass off at his boss’ place. 

She had no idea where and how he managed to get it done, but at least he was finally considered a legitimate Blue Planet being now, apparently he was even on the citizen records handled by the police. 

Lu Yu Chen collected his tickets in a glumness. Xuan Mo turned to look before she smiled: “Didn’t you say the seats were fixed.”

Lu Yu Chen mumbled: “Guess I was scammed…” As he spoke, he glanced at the three empty side-by-side seats on the screen with a poor expression. When Xuan Mo slanted him a glance, Lu Yu Chen had no other option but to select the three adjacent seats.

And so, the three of them ended up sitting in a row next to each other.

“Why didn’t you tell me your friend was him?” Lu Yu Chen only took down Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge’s IC number when he was ordering the tickets earlier, so he had no idea who Xuan Mo’s friend was going to be.

“Why do I have to tell you?”

Lu Yu Chen remained dispirited. He only spoke after a while: “You’re really dating him?”

“…” Xuan Mo didn’t deny it, neither did she verify it.

Lu Yu Chen looked as though he was about to roar in anger.

The two-hour long flight was literally a roller coaster ride to Ai Er Ge. The moment the plane took off, Ai Er Ge was beside himself trying to adjust his weight and energy, so that he would be in a suitable condition to adapt to the speed of the plane. When he had trouble catching up to the changing conditions, he had to depend on Xuan Mo’s almighty mental powers as a shield to forcefully maintain himself in his human form. Hence, not long into the flight, he was already pale from exhaustion. 

In all honesty, he really needn’t be so anxious, it probably wouldn’t be too scary if his head were to appear a little slanted, or if his stomach was a little puffed. But the problem was Lu Yu Chen, seated on Xuan Mo’s other side, and his bitter, had his vengeful gaze trained on Xuan Mo and Ai Er Ge throughout the entire flight. 

The moment they got off the flight, Xuan Mo was squished into a taxi by Lu Yu Chen and they drove off; she didn’t even get a chance to speak to Ai Er Ge before she was forced to leave him in their dust. 

“Aye…” Ai Er Ge sighed. He hailed a taxi and tailed their ride. He figured he should stay somewhere near them, and probably find a job nearby too. 

No matter the environment he was in, Lu Yu Chen could always manage to find himself a huge gaggle of friends. And so the moment he returned and dropped off his luggage, he was off attending all sorts of gatherings with them. He was so busy he could barely catch a breath. Also now that they’re in university, as young adults, they have much more freedom as compared to before, and so, their mentality as well as the material aspects of their outings have greatly levelled up. Not only so, the bunch of them were decently well off, so the types of gatherings day after day were presented in great variety. 

Meanwhile, Xuan Mo had skipped grades in school, so the handful of friends that she knew were still studying their asses off in their second year in high school, and hence they were really too busy to think of her. Xuan Mo herself too had no intentions of meeting up with them. And so, after returning, Xuan Mo became particularly free. 

It was only half a month later did Lu Yu Chen come to a devastating realisation that he had accidentally delivered his little sister on a silver platter to a certain someone he’d previously been glaring at!

Xuan Mo was not a lazy person, it’s just that she had no idea what to do when she was on her own. She wasn’t like the other girls who would read novels, daydream or stone at the air, she wasn’t the kind to go out to shop and watch a movie with other people either… These were too boring and meaningless for her. And so, when she was alone, the most interesting thing she found herself doing was to cultivate. 

But now that Ai Er Ge’s around, she had more things to do. Or at least when she was with him, she was in a much more relaxed state than she would be with any other Blue Planet being. Even though they were technically enemies, the both of them were clear that in the entire Blue Planet, the person with the closest mindset they had was each other… even if they were two hundred million years apart. 

Ai Er Ge was not a flamboyant person. Since he’d decided to retain his human form, he would engage in all the normal forms of blue planet being activities, such as eating, staying at a fixed location, sleeping, enjoying entertainment, and working.

Of course, he had no intentions to become a “host” again, but he had no academic qualifications he could prove. Not only so, if he had to exert any additional strength, it would eat into his mental energy reserve. In other words, he probably wouldn’t be able to last a full day, it was very likely that he would need Xuan Mo to come save him. 

Xuan Mo had lived here for close to a year, so at the very least she was familiar with what was around. Soon, Ai Er Ge’s job-hunting mission became her only reason to leave the house. ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 166 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

They applied for many job applications as a restaurant service crew, but the moment the managers saw Ai Er Ge, they shook their heads. Each of them had their own reason, in fact, some of them explained that he was too good-looking, so they were unable to take him in. 

There were a few bars that were rather satisfied with Ai Er Ge, but his previous job had left him with a PTSD for all dimly-lit establishments as such, so they skipped these places altogether. 

Tightly after, they visited cake shops, retail stores… the recruitments were either already over, or the shops were only recruiting female employees. Some of the shops had also said that Ai Er Ge looked too princely to be a hardworking and earnest employee…

Ai Er Ge had embarked on his job-hunting journey with the purest of intentions and most genuine of attitudes; he had no impressions of the societal impressions of different types of jobs. The civilisation he came from had no such thing as academic qualifications, hence to him, all careers were equal, the only difference was the capabilities and experience of the individuals themselves.

One evening, Ai Er Ge plonked himself down at one of the curbs in town and hugged his head as he signed. Xuan Mo on the other hand stood by him and looked around. 

“Aye! I’m so annoyed, why do none of them want me!” Ai Er Ge wanted to howl, “do I really look that unreliable?!”

Xuan Mo surveyed the surroundings. Chinese New Year was not yet round the corner, yet a number of malls had already begun their battle to draw in the crowd. The town centre was teeming with people, and bustling with noise; for some reason, Xuan Mo found this area very familiar. 

“I think you should get some clothes first.” Xuan Mo pointed at his leather jacket and jeans, “a lot of employers were alright with your appearance, but they seemed rather disturbed when they noticed your attire. I think whatever you have on may be misleading.”

“How’s that possible? This was what my boss bought when we were out procuring clothes, it’s not like we went somewhere sus…” As he spoke, Ai Er Ge realised Xuan Mo made sense. And so, he stood and dusted his top, “you decide then, where do we get some new clothes.”

When it came to buying clothes for guys, the first thing that came to Xuan Mo’s mind was to look for Lu Yu Chen. But he seemed pretty busy lately, and this place seemed to be… “Follow me.”

She brought Ai Er Ge into a large mall, went up to the fourth floor selling premium male clothing, made a turn and walked into a huge counter. Xuan Mo’s mother just so happened to be there.

Xuan Mo was not one to be interested in her line of work, and so when Xuan Mo’s mother suddenly saw her daughter appearing in her shop one day, bringing with her a foreigner guy along, she paused for a long moment before she came to. Xuan Mo’s mother smiled and hugged Xuan Mo before turning to look at Ai Er He: “Mo Mo, what brought you here, this is…”

“Hello Aunt Xuan! My name is Ai Er Ge.” Ai Er Ge recalled the information from the memory archives Xuan Mo had sent him previously as he spoke to her mother in a warm tone. “I’m Xuan Mo’s friend.”

“Ohhh!” Though she was no longer young, Xuan Mo’s mother was still a little stunned by Ai Er Ge’s strong presence, and his dashing appearance. And this for some reason led to her pleasant impression of him. And so, she winked at her daughter knowingly: “Ahh a friend…”

“Enh, friend.” Xuan Mo continued expressionlessly. She tugged at Ai Er Ge, “he’s looking for a job, and he probably needs to change his outfit.”

CHAPTER 165 ♦ REPLACE II

“I feel like you’re not… if we go by the novels, then I think it’s quite possible that you might be a cultivator, or an ESPer, but… I feel like you’re not.” Ling Yun started hesitantly, as he spoke, he grew more confident, and even started shaking his head, “you’re definitely not human.”

Xuan Mo shrugged: “Alright, I really am not.” She paused, “is this why you’re scared of me?”

Ling Yun’s expression was a little strange: “Anyone who encountered something like this would be a little scared, won’t they.”

“Fine.” Xuan Mo nodded in understanding. 

“Then, what are you?” Ling Yun was still rather nervous, “demon? An immortal?”

Xuan Mo almost laughed: “Aren’t you an astrology hobbyist, you can’t guess what I am?”

“No way! Really, really?!” Ling Yun was so excited his face turned red. Suddenly, he got anxious again, “you, you guys won’t hurt humans would you?”

Hurt humans? Xuan Mo knew that quite a number of movies here were talking about aliens coming to the blue planet for war… and most of these wars happened without rhyme or reason, very illogical. Regardless of the civilisation, waging a war was very consuming in every aspect, to colonise an opposing race and civilisation was far less sustainable than being on friendly but slightly unbalanced trade terms. Even Scorpio Planet would attempt to engage diplomatically before starting any war. 

Xuan Mo’s disdainful expression when the topic of harming humans was brought up had Ling Yun exhaling in relief: “So you’re an Autobot, that’s good that’s good.”

“What?” Xuan Mo was befuddled.

“Autobot, you don’t know what it is?” Ling Yun was suddenly excited again, the cool kid in front of her suddenly turned into a 3000 Whys Blue Cat, asking: “oh right, have you met other aliens before? Are there really Transformers in the universe?”

“Transformers?” Xuan Mo couldn’t help but laugh, “you guys are the only ones with Transformers please.”

“Eh… what about… I mean… Robot Civilisation, Mechanical Civilisation?” Ling Yun wasn’t satisfied with just describing, he even took out his phone, flipped through it and even produced a few Transformers posters, “like this!”

“This?” Xuan Mo looked at the images, “they don’t really look like this, but there is something similar… before…” Her expression became a little strange, “you like this?”

“A lot of young people like this, this is popular worldwide, aren’t they cool?”

“…their mechanical offensive power is not too bad.” Xuan Mo was a little confused, “but I don’t understand why you like them?”

“Why won’t we like them.” ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 165 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

“I’ve seen three of these types of civilisation.” Xuan Mo said earnestly, “all three of them did not come about naturally, they overtook the planet that their creators lived on.”

At Ling Yun’s speechless face, Xuan Mo’s expression became even more strange: “You guys are the ones creating robots… careful don’t let them pull a reverse-uno on you.”

At Xuan Mo’s words, Ling Yun suddenly recalled movies such as The Terminator and the likes, and shivered. 

After revealing her identity as an alien for the first time, Xuan Mo was in a fantastic mood.

She wasn’t worried that Ling Yun would do anything to her, she didn’t see the need to have to put him under surveillance. Just his fearful gaze told her that he was clear of the consequences if he tried to pull anything. 

This also reminded her to not be too thrifty with her mental powers. There still was a need to enlarge the scope of her mental surveillance during sensitive periods like now. Society was also more advanced now, they still did have some standard to their technological development. 

Finals were the next few days. After finishing her examination, Xuan Mo received Lu Yu Chen’s congratulatory text — it was a Maths finals paper.

Xuan Mo was amused. She finished speedily and sent it back the way he sent it to her.

A while later, Lu Yu Chen’s call came in, he was laughing his ass off: “Ahahahaa! Mo Mo, you should’ve seen my Maths teacher’s expression! It was too funny, my attendance this sem was zero so he was staring at me, but when he saw my paper, his face turned green!”

After listening to his boasting, Xuan Mo asked: “Have you booked the flight?”

“I’ll book it later, what time do you prefer, morning afternoon night?”

“Anything, remember to buy three tickets.”

“Three? Why?”

“Someone else is going back too.” Xuan Mo didn’t explain further and hung up, ignoring Lu Yu Chen’s frenzied howling. It was afternoon, and Ai Er Ge was walking over. 

It was actually also fine to leave Ai Er Ge to head back on his own, but when aliens flew in the air, their form would change a little one way or another. When they no longer were bound by gravity, creatures with mental powers would change to adapt to their environment. For example, Xuan Mo’s previous body would become more translucent. As for Ai Er Ge, apparently he would slowly turn into an oval shape.

Therefore to prevent Ai Er Ge from transforming into a pancake in front of everyone on his flight back, Xuan Mo could only suck it up and bring this troublesome being along with her. 

“You’re calling your brother?” Ai Er Ge was dressed very normally today — he was wearing a beige coat and blue jeans, his obnoxious red hair flying in the wind. It was finals period, and a lot of students were able to head back after their examinations, so Ai Er Ge didn’t make himself invisible. Even with the many non-students visiting the school, Ai Er Ge still managed to make himself out to be a walking scenery. 

“Enh.” Xuan Mo held his hand to charge. 

“How did your exams go?”

“It’s fine…”

“I heard, blue planet beings sometimes… fake their answers?”

“In layman terms, cheating.”

“How can they do that?!” Ai Er Ge frowned, “cheating is like covering the eyes of the Goddess of Knowledge! If you cover the eyes of the Goddess of Knowledge, all your people would not be able to see the future! This is too dangerous! As a race with very subpar offensive ability, subpar technology, how can they tarnish the way of knowledge when it’s their only way out of this dump, they will be punished!”

“Why are you so riled up over other people’s business.” Xuan Mo remained calm; she’d even helped a certain someone do exactly this just a moment ago. 

“Aye, I’m feeling a gradual sense of danger at the fact that I’m stuck here.” Ai Er Ge’s eyes suddenly glinted. He grabbed Xuan Mo’s hand, “Mo Mo, the great Marshal Abu! I heard that the upcoming holiday will be a long one, and you don’t have class, can you find the way back home together with me!” His eyes were teary, “I wanna go home!”

“If you mean find the galaxy door, no can do.”

Ai Er Ge clenched his teeth and suddenly said: “We don’t necessarily need to open the galaxy door, because we don’t know where it’ll bring us either.”

Xuan Mo understood: “You mean, activate it with mental powers so that the galaxy door can transmit extra-distance frequencies to attract someone from the Great Coalition?” She was suddenly curious, “who would it attract though, the army, or your people?”

Ai Er Ge shook his head: “I, I don’t know either.” He was a little crestfallen. “I’m not used to this place, I don’t like that I have to charge every day, I don’t like being ordered around by my boss, even the clients I take are less educated than me, we think very differently… don’t you find it uncomfortable here?”

“That’s why they say, Elgeians can use their brains to survive in a high-knowledge civilisation, while Scorpions are the only ones that can adapt to any challenging environments — same thing.” Xuan Mo shrugged, “because it really is rough here.”

“I don’t care! I’mma go all out!” Ai Er Ge suddenly leapt up, “Even if I die, I need to try! If we end up attracting the army, then fine, I’m unlucky! Whatever the case is, I’ve never used this technology before, I’ll be ruled at most seventeen, eighteen years on the military court for being an Elge. If we attract the Elge… well whichever of them comes, I won’t be able to get past you anyway, all you need to do is to announce your name, believe me, you literally have that power to stupefy people.” 

Honestly, Xuan Mo was a little moved. She didn’t dare to even consider opening the galaxy door, too much resources were needed. But activating the door and sending out a transmission, that was well within her abilities… “Then…” Just as she was about to start discussing a plausible plan, a text message came in. 

It was from Lu Yu Chen: “Mo Mo! I’ve already gotten my friend to help book the tickets, and got my hands on the tickets, it’s just that we didn’t manage to get a good seat, only two of the seats are side by side, the last one is separate.”

“Enh, okay.” Xuan Mo replied. Just as she was about to resume their conversation, Lu Yu Chen’s text came in again. 

“Mo Mo! Is your friend a guy or a girl? If it’s a girl, yall can sit together, if it’s a guy then you sit with me, he can go and sit on his own!”

“…” Xuan Mo felt that ignoring this foolish brother of hers really was becoming too challenging a feat. 

T/N: honestly if it werent for the fact that Ai Er Ge was originally a ball of red light, i’d almost almost almost low-key ship them… almost…… orz am i the only one LOL

CHAPTER 164 ♦ REPLACE I

last edited on ZLT: 10.06.22

If someone you didn’t know was afraid of you for no reason, and you weren’t ugly, then it meant that he probably knew something he wasn’t supposed to know. 

Xuan Mo had always known that her appearance was really very alluring, and so scaring off people was definitely impossible. 

After checking him out, she could confirm that he was indeed a human, inside and out. 

Honestly she wasn’t exactly careful in hiding her identity, there were a lot of times she revealed herself, but there were very little that actually caught on to the telling clues. There were a lot of people that suspected her, but there were very few that suspected her and were fearful of her. 

Alright, honestly her senses were telling her that this person definitely knew something that he wasn’t supposed to know. 

Though she didn’t really bother about a lot of things, when it came to issues related to her identity, she would become extremely attentive. And so after brief contemplation, she decided to be diplomatic first before anything more violent occured, in other words, they should have a chat, alone. 

However, after observing him for three days with her mental-net, she realised that someone who was constantly surrounded by people actually existed, Xuan Mo did not spot a single chance to catch him alone!

She must admit that this school — where the cream of the crop gathered — was indeed hiding some particularly interesting individuals. Ling Yun was known as a cool guy, but he was the walking definition of a collective individual, no matter where he was, he would never be on his own; the moment he had time to himself, he would rack his brains to pull someone along with him, no matter the reason. 

This was getting more and more interesting. What exactly was he doing? Recalling his fearful gaze, did he think she was going to assassinate him? Xuan Mo had only learnt about his existence three days ago, but judging from his familiarity, he’d definitely been doing this for more than three days. 

Seeing how finals were nearing, the students would be returning home after exams, Xuan Mo felt that time was very tight. If she were to let him continue hiding, time would fly by and before she knew it, they’d be parting ways. 

And so that night, after Xuan Mo entered the dorm, she went straight to the twins and asked to their face: “Ling Yun’s mobile number.”

The twins blinked synchronously, and blinked again before they inhaled sharply, stuttering: “Xuan, Xuan Mo… you, you you you, you are…”

“I need to ask him something, his mobile number, quickly now.”

“Oh ohh… XXX…” Xuan Mo remembered the number and dialled, before suddenly realising their dorm had become completely silent. The three other girls had their ears perked, their eyes glinting as they stared at her. 

Xuan Mo’s lips twitched. The call went through, and Ling Yun’s voice sounded: “Hello, who is this?”

“I’m Xuan Mo.” ♢ MY CLASSMATE IS TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS YEARS OLD, CHAPTER 164 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

“…” The call was silent for a moment before Ling Yun’s calm voice sounded, “Eh, hello, Xuan Mo.”

“I feel like we need to talk, are you free tomorrow afternoon?”

“…can I say no?”

“I’ll come find you tomorrow afternoon then.” Xuan Mo paused for a moment, glanced at the three excited ladies beside her, and suddenly added, “you’re hoping for a harmonious meeting I believe.” 

“Ahhhhhh…” The twins screamed silently at each other.

“Alright, twelve thirty, beside the tennis court.”

“Enh.” Xuan Mo hung up and looked at the three ladies, “is it entertaining to eavesdrop?”

“Cough cough, Xuan Mo classmate, what motivated you to suddenly chase Ling Yun classmate? Is it his handsome basketball shooting skills? Or his reputation and talents?” Yang Jia pretended to interview Xuan Mo.

“Hmhh.” Xuan Mo took her facial cleansers and went to the toilet, “because he knows too much.”

“…” The three of them suddenly shivered.

This was perhaps Ling Yun classmate heading off somewhere alone in a long time. He sat at the spectator’s seat beside the tennis court in unease. The three people at the court had just completed their training and were packing up to leave. 

When Xuan Mo arrived, he froze for a moment, before suddenly exhaling as though in relief.

Xuan Mo sat down and looked at his floating gaze, shaking her head: “There’s no one around.”

“…oh.” Ling Yun clenched his fists.

“You’re scared of me.”

“Yes… and no.” Ling Yun looked at Xuan Mo. As though something came to mind, he suddenly looked down. 

Xuan Mo observed his reaction: “You wanna say it yourself, or should I help you say it?”

“I’m the president of the school’s recreational Astrology Club.”

His reply at her squinting her eyes. What does the Astrology Club have anything to do with her? It couldn’t be that people saw her flying into the blue planet?

“One day when I was surfing the forum that I checked a lot, I saw news about an unknown flying device remnants being discovered in Yellowstone Park in America. The images and the developments afterwards seemed pretty legitimate, even though the information together with a lot of other related ones got deleted afterwards, but I was still very excited… that night, I was at the astronomical observation deck and I wanted to watch the stars…” Ling Yun gradually slowed down, and sounded almost a little embarrassed, “I’m not sure if you know, but, I, cough, I’ve tried chasing you before, but later realised that it probably won’t get anywhere so I gave up, I even deleted your number…”

Xuan Mo had no idea where he was going, “what does you watching stars have anything to do with you chasing me in the past?”

“Yes, it is related.” Ling Yun coughed, “I’ve asked around before about your schedule, and noticed that the only difference between your schedule and everyone else’s was that you’d head off to the hill behind school often, so I found out about the Golden Stone Building.”

The Golden Stone Building wasn’t classified information exactly, it was known to the public as a research centre for new materials. It was low-key, and did not receive any backing; not only so, the building was also pretty shabby, so even if the students did find out about it, it wasn’t too big of a deal.

“Continue.”

“I stayed till very late that night, I’d intended to overnight at the deck, because there were a lot of stars. I was looking around randomly, and then I saw, uhh, you running over. Before you reached the Golden Stone Building, you hid yourself in the bushes.”

Oh! She figured out what happened now. Xuan Mo was a little speechless. She was very certain that there was no one around, but she didn’t expect there’d be a blue planet being bored out of his mind peeping at her from another hill through a telescope!

What happened next was expected, Ling Yun went on to share that he saw Xuan Mo getting stabbed through the telescope. Next, Xuan Mo glowed in blue light, pulled out the dagger, “battled” the red light and chased it away — the red light person turned into a stack of clothes… after which, Xuan Mo leisurely walked off. 

He happily went on to spectate the entire thing until morning, and also witnessed the car appearing out of nowhere. 

“I went to search up the car later on, and the clothes… there’s only so many high-end fashion stores on campus, I’ve seen it before, in one of the window display…” Ling Yun felt even more at loss the more he spoke. “I consider myself to be relatively well-versed in computing, so I researched about the car and the clothes situation. As expected, there was a police report that evening, someone said that they’d witnessed someone stealing clothes and stealing a car…”

Xuan Mo was low-key impressed, exactly how lucky was he to be able to witness everything and link everything up; and how meticulous indeed as well. 

Ling Yun was almost done. He looked at Xuan Mo carefully: “Xuan Mo, you’re not a human being, right.”

Xuan Mo was silent.

Not human could be a literary exaggeration, a personification, an exclamation or a curse, but not a human being, would refer to something else altogether. 

Just one additional word was enough to exclude someone from a race completely. How mysterious and interesting language was. 

“What do you think?”
