Xiaokai began to busy himself with the computer again. It had to be admitted that he was very skilled at operating the computer. His fingers tapped the keyboard, and the dense sound of it, like a popping sound, resonated. To an outsider, this high-intensity, high-efficiency operation, along with his computer and algorithm, seemed quite advanced!
In fact, Xiaokai didn't understand anything at all. He had studied programming in college, but after three months, he had returned everything to the teacher. The reason he could type rapidly was simply because he often played games. Now, his fast typing speed had a striking visual impact.
If Xiaokai's previous performances could be considered farcical, then this nearly half-hour typing performance truly captivated the onlookers. Even the volunteer who had been angry earlier sluggishly moved closer to see what would appear on the computer screen.
Finally... Xiaokai stopped. "Ladies and gentlemen, the results are out!"
The entire crowd erupted. Seventeen watched attentively, murmuring to himself, "Is Xiaokai truly the honored one?"
"Who is the real honored one, after all? This multiple-choice question is really difficult," Seventeen sighed quietly.
The entire screen suddenly turned pitch black, and then a bright green background color slowly emerged. The whole process was filled with mystery. The host had already leaned in, holding the microphone, and loudly read the words on the screen, "In five minutes, you will break one leg."
In five minutes, you will break one leg?
When this statement was announced, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone looked at each other in a strange way, then looked back at the stage, the solemn scene seemed to have an air of historical significance.
"Chuckle," finally, the first person couldn't help but burst into laughter, spraying out the drink he had just sipped into his mouth. Then, the entire stage erupted into the most enthusiastic laughter of the day.
"Hahaha! This is just too funny! In five minutes, I will break a leg? Oh my goodness, I'm still doing just fine now!" Even the volunteer who had been angry and glaring, burst into hearty laughter, his beard quivering comically.
"I knew it, it was all exaggerated. He's really a fraud!"
"So entertaining, such a fun thing to witness today. Oh, it's a shame I didn't bring my girlfriend with me."
"Yeah, this kid, what's his name again? Oh right, Xiaokai, this kid is definitely a born comedian."
"Hey, buddy, I appreciate you, you definitely have the potential to act in movies!"
Xiaokai stood on the stage, grinning without a hint of panic. He even took a glance at the three monsters. The three of them had pleased expressions, probably feeling that Xiaokai was no longer a threat to them.
"Mr. Xiaokai, do you have anything to explain?" the host handed him the microphone.
"Everyone, five minutes haven't arrived yet," Xiaokai chuckled. "Can we wait a bit longer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoguan started to act.
"Old man, for the sake of Little Bamboo, don't blame me for betraying you. Anyway, I'm not a philanthropist." Xiao Kai prayed and ordered, "Ready... blow!"
As the word "blow" left his mouth, a sudden gust of wind arose from the ground, blowing directly at the old man being tested. The old man, laughing fiercely, seemed to have choked on his breath, tilting his head back and gasping for air, stepping back until he reached the edge of the platform. The host, noticing the danger, was about to reach out, but with the gust of wind, the old man suddenly stumbled backward, falling off the stage with a cry of pain.
A group of people quickly surrounded the old man, who was lying on the ground holding his leg and gasping for air. A middle-aged man in the crowd walked out, saying, "I am a doctor, let me take a look." Five minutes later, the middle-aged man looked up and said, "Take him to the hospital, his leg is broken, with a minor fracture."
The noisy voice in the crowd suddenly disappeared, and everyone looked at each other with strange expressions. After a full minute of silence, they all turned their gaze towards Xiao Kai, who was standing on the stage smiling.
Suddenly, the square erupted with enthusiastic applause.
The host was the first to react, walking over to Xiao Kai and saying, "You've succeeded, congratulations! Would you like to say something?" he said, handing over a microphone.
"I want to say something," Xiao Kai swallowed and gripped the microphone, staring at Seventeen intently and said emphatically, "I absolutely am a good person!"
"You are, indeed, you are," Seventeen sincerely said, "I won't say much more, but later please come with me to see our master."
"Of course," Xiao Kai said affectionately, "I must go for the sake of my beloved Little Bamboo."
Three demons looked at each other with darkened faces. Zhang Jiuling was the first to step forward, saying to Seventeen, "This benefactor seems troubled and worried. Is there some disaster at home?"
"Yes," Seventeen said, "Master, you are truly wise."
Zhang Jiuling smiled deeply, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a number in your name."
"Wow, that's really remarkable!" Seventeen said, "I am Ding Seventeen and indeed, have a number in my name. Master, come with us and chat."
"But..." Zhang Jiuling deliberately pondered, "I have another friend, the enlightened monk Wuming."
"Oh, that's good, that's good," Seventeen said with relief, "I was worried about not being able to distinguish, it looks like these three benefactors, and let's invite Master Wuming as well, my master wants to invite all of you to our house to seek advice. I would like the three of you to honor us with a visit."
Zhang Jiuling added, "And that little prodigy..."
"Heh heh, no need," Seventeen said, "He doesn't count," pulling the monk and Taoist along joyfully and gesturing to Xiao Kai, "Let's go, let's go."
Xiao Kai shrugged and followed Seventeen without a word. Meanwhile, Zhang Jiuling and Wuming looked at each other and then gestured to the little prodigy. But when they turned around, Seventeen had already run to the side of the road to get the car.
"Well, let's go first," Zhang said to Wuming with a sigh, complaining in a low voice, "I really don't understand why Chiding Yao would send this reckless fellow out."
After walking a few steps behind Seventeen, Xiao Kai suddenly said, "Seventeen, I have my own car, I'll follow you."
Xiao Kai's strikingly bright red BMW stopped there, attracting attention. It was only at this point that Xiao Kai had time to ask Xiao Guan, "Where did this car come from, and what's the story with that beauty?"
"Oh, nothing much," Xiao Guan said nonchalantly, "I hijacked the car, and incidentally pretended to be a demon, then that beauty ended up like this."
"What about my computer? Did you bring it back?" Xiao Kai asked, "You're really quick."
"Tch, you're so ignorant," Xiao Guan said, "The technique of moving objects among the five ghosts is the most basic technique in the Five Elements Exploration. If I couldn't do this, I might as well find a block of tofu and hit my head with it."
Seventeen sat in the front seat of the car and leaned out to signal Xiao Kai, "Follow closely, don't get lost."
"Don't worry," Xiao Kai said confidently, "I will not give up halfway for the happiness of Little Bamboo."
As Xiao Kai sat in the car, he finally had time to look at the beautiful woman who was coerced by Xiao Guan, but she had a face full of tears and her small mouth was pouting fiercely, glaring at Xiao Kai. It seemed she had just been frightened by Xiao Guan.
"What's your... name?" Xiao Kai asked awkwardly, trying to start a conversation.
The beautiful woman completely ignored him.
"Do you... know how to drive?" Xiao Kai asked again.
The beautiful woman nodded pitifully.
"What's your name?" Xiao Kai continued trying to find something to say.
But she stubbornly remained silent.
"Alright, just follow the car ahead," Xiao Kai said.
The beautiful woman nodded and obediently stepped on the accelerator.
"Xiao Guan, how did you scare her?" Xiao Kai asked, "Why does she seem a bit odd, or is she mute?"
"It's nothing much, I just tricked her," Xiao Guan explained, "I told her you were a centipede spirit that loved to enter people's mouths and suck their brains, so as long as she spoke, her brain would be sucked by you."
Xiao Kai asked again, "Do you know who she is? With such a beautiful sports car, I think she must be either rich or noble. I'm afraid of getting involved with big shots."
"I was too worried at that time, and finding a car was already great. If I knew you had so many questions, I wouldn't have helped you," Xiao Guan grumbled in frustration.
Xiao Kai rolled his eyes and remained silent.
When Chiding Yao saw Xiao Kai climbing out of an ultra-cool sports car, he was so surprised that he opened his mouth. About to reprimand him, he saw a figure running out from beside him, ran to Xiao Kai, and affectionately grabbed his hand, saying, "Xiao Kai, I knew you would come!"
The figure was Chi Xiaozhu.
Chiding Yao was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He exclaimed, "Xiaozhu, what are you doing?"
However, Xiaozhu was no longer the obedient and well-behaved girl from yesterday. She turned and said, "Dad, I already told you yesterday, Xiao Kai is definitely not a bad person."
"You... you don't even believe Master Zhu?" Chiding Yao was furious, "Does Master Zhu also lie?"
"Hmph, I felt yesterday that there was something wrong with him," Xiaozhu said, "And today's so-called benefactor, it's very possible that they are all working together."
Master Zhu had just walked out from inside the door and, upon hearing this, his expression changed immediately. "Benefactor, I am wholeheartedly saving people, but I have been falsely accused. It seems I had better leave."
