Chapter 255: Alternative Plan

blocks away. Things are getting tough there, and I need you and Sister Mei to hold the line!""Our mission objective has been accomplished. After the counter-attack, I'll be parting ways with you all....Ripples took off her gaming headset and left the solitary game room, rejoining her companions.

Hill came looking for them after only about twenty minutes, scratching his head and asking:

"Hongtu, you ended so quickly"

"Well, I just tried it out. It's a pity that being my first time playing the game, all my points, experience, and combat stats are zero. Those people took advantage of me being new and came at me trying to wipe me out."

Ripple helplessly spread her hands.

So, you lost

Hill was somewhat surprised.

"Nope, after taking out the opponent, I just quit the game. I think it's better with you guys leading the way. Let's rack up some points first!"

Ripple smiled and said.

"Okay, Hongtu, join our squad quickly."

Hill immediately sent their guild name, and moments later a ripple appeared in the virtual space.

Three teammates stared wide-eyed at the female mech warrior in front of them. Her name was Ripples, and she had a distinctly awkward personality.

Anne twitched the corner of her mouth and said:

"Hóngtú, I never expected your heart to be like this!"

Ripples brushed against her own jet-black, straight hair and smiled as she explained:

"Don't you all put on disguises in the virtual space I don't want to be recognized by too many people either, so I just turned my image upside down. Didn't you guys also think that my game identity would be like this"

"That makes sense!"

Hill immediately agreed, saying he also had a game account, set to female, but didn't use it often. He was surprised that Hongtu accepted it so openly.

"Let's go! The other side is urging me to line up."

Kate didn't want to participate in this pointless conversation, so she forcefully steered the topic back on track.

"Go!"

The four of them spent the entire day in the virtual battle game arcade, playing to their heart's content before returning to their dormitory.

And on the other side, Wu Lianbo waited a whole day but never received any good news from the system. His heart was troubled, constantly calling out to the system in his mind, but unfortunately, the destroyed system could no longer respond.

In the following days, he continuously called out to the system, but there was no response. Wu Lianbo also discovered another terrifying thing: his qualifications were actually regressing. To be precise, it wasn't regression, but rather a restoration of his true qualifications.

Ripples once asked the millstone:

"With the system dissipating, what did he imbue upon Wu Lianbo"

"Nature will dissipate with the wind, it was never his to begin with."

"And what about the potential of those three poor things Lost forever"

As long as Wu Lianbo continues to associate with those three people, his talents will naturally return.

The stone mill's answer was very concise.

"That's good, then I can rest assured."

The ripples nodded in satisfaction.

A month later, Wu Lianbo completely gave up searching for the system and instead began to worry that his regression in aptitude would be discovered. At this time, he suddenly learned that Du Hongtu, a student in his third year, had broken through to the eighth level of ancient martial arts, becoming an object of pursuit by everyone. He felt that he should have discovered the secret of Lian Yi.

Since the system could enhance his aptitude, it could also elevate Lian Yi's ancient martial arts level. Maybe Lian Yi took his system last time, or the system left him voluntarily and became Lian Yi's system, which is why Lian Yi's ancient martial arts cultivation progressed so rapidly in such a short period.

But now looking for the other party is meaningless, how could the other party admit it They have no evidence.

In the end, Lian Bo could only grit his teeth and contact his mother, telling her about his situation. Of course, he kept the system's existence a secret.

"How could this be"

"I think it's Lian Yi who's making a move. He wants to reclaim everything that belongs to him, but unfortunately, I have no evidence."

Of course, Lian Bo would put all the blame on Lian Yi. After all, the two of them weren't getting along anyway, and Lian Yi had given him a hard time when school started. He believed his mother would definitely believe him.

As expected, Xue Wenjing cursed under her breath a couple of times before asking.

“Now, it’s best to keep your father calm and prevent him from finding out about your decline in aptitude. Then we can figure out a plan.”

"I thought the same thing, which is why I contacted you. I'd like to discuss this with you. Ideally, I want to get my hands on a medication that can double-activate my genetic potential. That way, I still have a chance at recovery. The problem is, I can't afford to spend a large sum of Star Credits. If my father found out, I wouldn't know how to explain it."

Wu Lianbo explained in a low voice.

"That's why I had you say some kind words to your father, so I could marry into the Wu family quickly and solve all these problems."

Xue Wenjing said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Mother, do you think I don't want to I've already mentioned it to Father several times, both openly and in secret. But he hasn't relented. He thinks as long as you don't marry into the Wu family, Wu Lianyi has a hope of returning. After all, by now, his qualifications seem to surpass mine."

At first, he was diagnosed with a useless physique. I, with my excellent aptitude, drove him out of the Wu family. But now the situation has reversed. His aptitude is better than mine, while mine is deteriorating. What do you think Father will do then

Now Wu Lian is living up to her father's expectations, so she insists on not returning to the Wu family. But this isn't absolute. As long as I haven't completely replaced her father's position, he could be persuaded by her father to come back.

A month ago, my father personally went to the college to find Lian Yi. I saw them, although I don't know what they talked about. However, looking at their faces, many things seemed to have eased up. They weren't as tense as before.

There are still fourteen years until I become an adult. Who knows what changes will happen during that time There's also something else I didn't want to tell my mother, but since we've gotten this far, I might as well tell you so you can be prepared.

Xue Wenjing's heart immediately skipped a beat when she heard this, she instinctively felt that this matter must be related to Wu Yishan. Sure enough, in the next moment, Lian Bo uttered words that made her furious.

"My father has been very busy lately, meeting different women and it seems like he's preparing to remarry. This proves that Wu Lianyi has withdrawn the application for divorce from the court. He withdrew the application but didn't mention taking you back. What do you think he wants to do"

"Damn him, what else could he possibly do He'd probably marry a young wife who could help him, definitely not me!"

Xue Wenjing said almost through gritted teeth.

“Since my mother can understand, how could I not That's precisely why I'm so eager to restore my abilities. If Father knew I was mediocre, would he ever allow me to remain in the Wu family”

When the time comes, he'll find an excuse to get rid of me, and then go to Lian Yi to show his attitude. After all, he didn't marry you into the family, and I'm just a bargaining chip for you joining the Wu family. In the end, he hasn't done anything wrong to Lian Yi or his mother. Do you think Lian Yi will change his mind

It has to be said that Wu Lianbo's analysis was very accurate and he accurately grasped what Xue Wenjing cared about most.

"As long as I remain in the Wu family, I can fight for my mother. If I leave, you'll have no chance at all."

"I know, you hold on for now and don't give anything away. Just wait for my good news." You won't be alone either. What do you thinkThis time Wen Zhaoming didn't refuse outright, because in his view it was more like a transaction, beneficial to both parties. It's just that if they broke...
