"Boss, you're our boss from now on. If you say go east, we'll never go west." Xiao Ming was very sensible and voluntarily gave up his position as the "boss" of the dormitory.
"Mo Chen, where did you get so many keys?" Fatty Sun asked.
This is too abnormal. There are only 100 in the whole world, and you, Mo Chen, got three. Are you really God's favorite son?
"Brother Chen, you've given us everything, do you have any for yourself?" Zheng Wenjun asked.
"Don't worry, I have enough. How could I let myself suffer?"
Hehe, I made this myself, how could I not have one?
"Mo Chen, you might not know, but someone online has already offered a high price to buy the 'key'." The fat man suddenly spoke up. Mo Chen had selflessly given him the key, so he couldn't pretend not to know.
"Yes, that's right, I've seen news about that too." Xiao Ming nodded. He thought the same thing as the fat guy.
"Oh? How much?"
Mo Chen had expected that someone would buy it at a high price, but he didn't expect that the purchase would begin that very evening, just after it was sent out in the afternoon. The speed was indeed fast.
It seems the Awakening Stimulus Program is having some effect.
"The highest price has already reached 100 million, posted by Zhang Xiaomi, the eldest daughter of the Zhang Group. Tsk tsk, she really doesn't treat money like money!" The fat man shook his head and sighed.
"Yeah, money really does buy you anything." Mo Chen looked at the three of them and said, "If you want to sell, then sell. Once it's given to you, it's yours. It has nothing to do with me."
"How could that be? Only a fool would sell it!" The three fat men shook their heads in unison.
In the past, they would have sold without hesitation, but now they don't think that way anymore. Times have changed, and who knows if the RMB will still be worth anything in the future?
Even if it is valuable, once they awaken, why worry about not having money?
After putting on a show in front of the three fat guys, Mo Chen left the dormitory and headed to the school park because he had received a call from Zhou Qian, who said she had a surprise for him.
Mo Chen guessed that either she had awakened her powers or she had obtained the crystal key.
However, the chances of getting the key are too small, so it's likely that the awakening was successful.
Upon arriving at the park, he could see Zhou Qian sitting on a bench in the distance... and Liu Yueyue next to her.
Zhou Qian was still the same, dressed quite traditionally, and Liu Yueyue was still the same, remaining incredibly refreshing even as the weather in Long City turned cool at night.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yueyue also came. It seems that in Zhou Qian's heart, he and Liu Yueyue are her most important partners.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him and Liu Yueyue out to share the good news.
To be honest, Mo Chen was very gratified. After so many years, his childhood friend still held a place in her heart, and it wasn't in vain that he had prepared to give her a "back door".
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm referring to the Secret Realm Key!
"Mo Chen, you're here?" Zhou Qian greeted him with a smile, taking his arm and looking very happy.
Liu Yueyue, who was standing next to him, smiled at him without saying anything, but her eyes seemed to be interested in something, making it hard for Mo Chen to figure out what she meant.
However, Mo Chen didn't think much of it.
"Hmm, what good news is there? Why do you have to say it here?" Mo Chen looked around. It was dark and he couldn't see anyone. Was there something she was ashamed of?
"I... have awakened." Zhou Qian whispered in Mo Chen's ear, looking shy as her face turned red.
Mo Chen: "..."
I was right, but... what's with this shyness?
"Wow, that's amazing!" Mo Chen tried his best to look surprised, then cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."
"What kind of attitude is this? You look so perfunctory." Zhou Qian punched Mo Chen's chest in annoyance.
"It's not that I'm being perfunctory; I guessed it when I came here." Mo Chen ignored Zhou Qian's little punch.
"Huh? You could have guessed that?" Zhou Qian covered her mouth, looking at Mo Chen in disbelief.
"That's obvious. The whole nation is awakening now, so it's normal to be able to guess it."
"Oh, you're amazing!" Zhou Qian tried her best to put on a shocked expression, but it was a bit forced, like she was acting.
Mo Chen could easily understand that he had been tricked by Zhou Qian.
"Is this funny?" Mo Chen sighed helplessly. When did Zhou Qian become such a drama queen?
"Haha, now I finally know why you're still single!" Liu Yueyue said with a laugh.
"Aren't you just trying to say I'm single by choice?" Mo Chen rolled his eyes at Liu Yueyue, then turned to Zhou Qian and said, "What? You want to try dating me?"
"Pah, you wish!" Zhou Qian spat and turned her face away.
Despite her calm demeanor, her heart was pounding. It would be a lie to say she had no feelings for Mo Chen; after all, he was handsome and possessed an irresistible charm—how could she not be tempted? But she still couldn't make up her mind.
Historically, few childhood friends who become lovers end up happily, and she was afraid that it would turn out that way, leaving them unable to even remain friends.
The conversation just now also seemed to be a test of Mo Chen, but seeing that Mo Chen didn't take it seriously, they didn't continue.
Let's put matters of the heart aside for now. The key issue right now is the awakening process, which is also the main reason for calling Mo Chen out.
Zhou Qian put aside those messy thoughts and said, "Mo Chen, I have awakened, but... I always feel like something is not right."
This was Zhou Qian's main purpose in asking Mo Chen to come out today.
"Hmm? Something's not right?"
Zhou Qian was his childhood friend and one of his few friends, and Mo Chen didn't want anything to happen to her.
"Well... I find it a bit hard to describe, but it's like there's some inexplicable force guiding me to study a star chart. Didn't you tell me not to drive those dark energy particles casually?"
"You mean you had a star chart in your mind as soon as you awakened?" Mo Chen could hardly believe his ears.
Does the star chart come with a built-in one?
How come I didn't know?
"Hmm, I feel... it seems very eager to be learned." Zhou Qian nodded.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it," Mo Chen replied, then prepared to ask the system. He had never encountered this problem before, so asking the system was the most reliable option.
[Because Zhou Qian has a 36D cup size, the system informed Mo Chen of Zhou Qian's current awakening status.]
[This setting requires 1 causality value. Confirm?]
"Sure."
[Zhou Qian was born with an innate star chart when she awakened and is currently in a guiding state.]
"Holy crap, it really does come with its own star chart? Is that even possible?"
The awakening was orchestrated by Mo Chen from beginning to end, and everything should be under his control.
But unexpectedly, something came out of his control today.
This matter needs to be clarified.
