Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 46 Rejecting the School Beauty, Choosing the Younger Sister

Meanwhile, Zhang Qingzhe was preparing stew while chatting with Gu Xintong on his phone.

"How about we meet up this weekend?" Gu Xintong sent a message.

"What's up?" Zhang Qingzhe replied in a very straightforward manner.

"Our 'Constructivist School' has a 'Dream Simulation' session next week, and I'd like to ask you to tutor me."

"Can--"

He had just typed those two words and hadn't even pressed send when he heard the glass sliding door suddenly swung open.

"Brother!" The younger sister peeked in, her bra strap slipping down to reveal her crescent-shaped shoulder. "Do you have plans for the weekend?"

Zhang Qingzhe raised his finger, temporarily pausing the chat messages.

"What if I say yes?" Zhang Qingzhe asked his sister.

"Then cancel it now."

Why?

"Because you want to be with me."

Why should I keep you company?

"Come with me to catch crows."

"...Catch crows?" Zhang Qingzhe was a little confused.

"I want to try the [Bird Cards]."

My sister explained earnestly, "Let's use bird divination to predict when I'll be able to collect all the Tarot cards."

Zhang Qingzhe really wanted to persuade his sister to stop engaging in these feudal superstitions.

But considering that this is a world of magic, it might actually be a science, so he swallowed his words.

He looked down at his phone screen, added a "no" before the word "yes," and then pressed the send button.

A silence followed.

Gu Xintong probably never expected that her initiative to ask a boy out on the weekend would be met with such a straightforward rejection.

After a long while, the news resurfaced.

Why?

"I need to spend time with my family," Zhang Qingzhe replied simply.

After that, Gu Xintong did not reply again.

Perhaps she was a little angry.

However, Zhang Qingzhe, being a straight man, only had experience chatting with his brothers.

From his perspective, if the other party suddenly stopped replying, it must be because they went to play games.

So he didn't care at all.

-----------------

It is said that when Green Island University was choosing its location, this place was just a quiet little fishing village.

Back then, there was no saying that "every inch of land is worth its weight in gold," and the school easily acquired a large area of ​​land.

The college buildings rise up the hillside in tiers, and from the terraces of the high-rise buildings, you can overlook the shimmering sea in the distance.

In traditional Feng Shui, this layout is considered an excellent "gathering and retaining of Qi" pattern, and is a recognized Feng Shui treasure land.

The Black Tortoise serves as the backing mountain, the Vermilion Bird as the bright hall, the Azure Dragon meanders on the left, and the White Tiger guards on the right. Embracing the yin and supporting the yang, it embodies the great achievement of heaven and earth.

The student cafeteria is built at the highest point, like the eye of a battle formation.

If this were in ancient times, burying the school principal under the steps of the cafeteria would probably have resulted in a descendant of an emperor.

Unfortunately, we live in a new era, and the magic industry has long since replaced the ancient feng shui and physiognomy.

Beyond the hill behind the school lies a sparsely populated area.

Zhang Qingzhe followed behind his sister and ventured into this desolate mountain area.

It is said that if you go any further in, you will reach the dangerous "Dragon Disaster Zone".

Dangerous dragon creatures inhabit that place, and one must have the corresponding strength level to enter.

Every major city in the world has a "Dragon Disaster Zone" around it.

This is because the Dragon Plague region is not only a threat, but also contains enormous wealth.

For a large city to develop various magical industries, it cannot do without such a rich "source of raw materials".

The area behind the school, known as the "Dragon Disaster Zone," can be considered the foundation of Green Island City.

It is also worth mentioning that if the "Dragon Disaster" breaks out on a large scale, a "containment breach" crisis may occur.

The first target of the dragon-like creatures that emerged from there was Green Island University.

Therefore, the establishment of Green Island University here has a certain connotation of "the emperor guarding the country's gate".

Of course, this is only to be expected.

After all, in this world, universities are not only the highest institutions of knowledge in the city, but also represent the highest military organizations.

The professors and senior students inside all possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

If even they cannot withstand the dragon's calamity, then the entire city will likely be destroyed.

Zhang Qingzhe followed behind his sister, looking more like he was sightseeing than on an adventure.

The two walked and stopped frequently in the mountains and forests, taking photos and checking in every now and then.

Finally, the two stopped by a stream.

The younger sister became alert and listened intently to the nearby woods.

A moment later, her eyes suddenly lit up:

"There's a flock of crows inside! Let's catch them here!"

Zhang Qingzhe looked around, then asked hesitantly, "This...isn't considered illegal poaching, is it?"

"Brother! Why are you saying such nonsensical things again?" The younger sister looked helpless.

"What's wrong?"

"This area is very close to the Dragon Disaster Zone."

The younger sister explained earnestly, "If the number of creatures here isn't controlled, and they gather too many, it could accelerate the spread of the [Dragon Plague], so regular cleanup is necessary. Catching crows here is helping to maintain the environment; it's a good citizen's act!"

"Really?" Zhang Qingzhe asked, still somewhat skeptical.

He didn't mean to suspect his sister, but "witches" are all little geniuses at breaking the law, and who knows if she's just making excuses again.

"Brother, you wait here and prepare the picnic for lunch. I'll go catch some crows..."

In his younger sister's eyes, Zhang Qingzhe was still a "weakling".

Although his boxing stance was quite good, he also unexpectedly had eight-pack abs, which was quite embarrassing to look at.

But this is a world of magic.

If you can't use [magic cards], you're a true "newbie".

Zhang Qingzhe smiled helplessly.

He quickly set up a small tent, a portable barbecue grill and a dining table, ready for a pleasant outdoor barbecue.

The younger sister quietly approached the grove, took out a [Fireball Card], and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the flock of crows in the woods.

Zhang Qingzhe watched from afar.

Even though he has made rapid progress recently, the gap between him and his sister, who is a "witch," is still like heaven and earth.

With just one "Fireball Card," my sister can fire continuously like a machine gun.

The magical pathways that appeared on her arm were as dense as the veins on a plane tree leaf, and the supply of magical energy seemed inexhaustible.

However, the way the younger sister cast her spell... seems a bit too "bold".

The crows she shot down were all torn to pieces; not one remained intact.

Zhang Qingzhe gently shook his head.

I thought to myself, "Sister, stop struggling."

It seems you're really not cut out for the "prophecy school." You should face reality and join the "energy-shaping school" sooner rather than later!

After a while, my sister returned carrying several charred crows, her face full of dejection.

"Brother, can you check if any of the internal organs inside are intact?"

Zhang Qingzhe really couldn't do anything about her.

He took out a set of exquisite kitchen knives and began the "dissection" on the spot.

As expected, the crows' internal organs had already been shattered to pieces.

To Zhang Qingzhe's surprise, he found several shiny little stones inside the crows' entrails.

"What is this?"

He lifted it up in surprise and saw that the small stone was actually glowing.
