Chapter 105 The Cold Laugh Strikes Again
After the college representatives appeared
Ying and Paimon stepped forward as representatives to ask them why they were participating in the competition.
Kawi was a little curious. How could they have time to come here? As the most legendary adventurer in the Adventurer's Association, shouldn't they be busy doing commissions every day? Moreover, 80% of the Adventurer's Association's performance was achieved by them.
Paimon: "We are now special guest commentators! Responsible for recording the entire competition process!"
Falushan was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted: "Then I'll ask you to take pictures of the moment I win. Remember to shoot from bottom to top, and take more close-ups of my back, so that I feel more like a senior!"
[Ying: System, you know how to move the camera! ]
[System: I understand everything! ]
[Kaia: I won’t say anything more, it’s all in the wine]
[Keli: Keli doesn’t know]
【Sigwen: Oh, I understand! 】
[Cole: So are all seniors like this? ]
[Falusan: Alas, young people nowadays are too impatient. If you have any questions, you can ask the opinions of your seniors first.]
[Paimon: Uh... Ying seems to be older than you, and you asked her to call you senior]
[Hu Tao: I understand! Just like Zhongli and Jiaming's father are close friends! ]
[Zhongli: Now I am just Zhongli]
[Walnut: I suddenly realized that Miss Falusan's figure is similar to mine. Hey, that's great.]
[Falusan: What you said is wrong. I have been trapped in the ruins for more than a hundred years, and my body has stopped growing long ago.]
[Funina: I've lived for 500 years, isn't that right... Hey, what are you doing? Why are you discussing this kind of thing? Can't we just be happy like Klee? ]
[Klee: ??? Klee doesn’t know]
...
"Don't be so confident. It's obviously me who should win the championship!"
Falushan didn't take Kavi's words seriously at all: "You are still too young to fight me, whether it's the little brat of Sahavalo or the little brat of Liduofandi..."
Leila asked tremblingly: "Just now I wanted to ask...Does Senior Falushan know me?"
Falushan was a little surprised and asked in disbelief: "Don't you remember? Sometimes when I saw you in the library at night, you would take the initiative to say hello to me!"
Leila said I know nothing about this
"It's really a strange thing. But now is not the time to do research. I am Falushan, a famous scholar of Zhilun School, and you are Leila of Minglun School, right? Then we are officially acquainted. You see, it's such a simple thing. I like good kids like you who respect their seniors. Do you want to join my research group?"
[Kaia: Miss Leila seems a little weird?]
[Keli: Sister Leila becomes very strange at night, like... a different person]
[Alice: This is a dual personality. Generally speaking, the first personality is more delicate, and the inner personality is more powerful. A girl I know is like this.]
[Keqing: Ms. Alice knows so much]
[Paimon: Alice breaks through the dimensional wall every day and says something we can't understand]
[Xiao Gong: Paimon, you have been to another world after all. We still only know a little bit about it.]
[Paimon: It was just luck.]
[Kole: Senior Falusan is still so enthusiastic. She invited me in last time as well...]
[Faroshan: What's the point of following Tinari? Why not follow me?]
...
"Senior Falusan... this is already considered poaching from another school, right? It's better not to force it."
Falushan showed a helpless expression: "I know, but I can't recruit anyone recently. The research funding is so limited... After I win the championship, the situation will definitely be different--"
Paimon murmured in surprise, "Could it be that Faluzan came to participate in the competition in order to increase research funding?"
Faluzan: "That's not all... Why, you're curious about why I'm participating in the competition? Oh, you're a commentator for Tetao, so it's normal for you to ask these questions."
"There are many new students who have just entered the school recently, and they will also pay attention to this competition. If I can win the championship, countless scholars will definitely come to me in the future. In addition, winning the championship can also obtain project resources within the college, and research funding will no longer be a problem. Sorry, two juniors, I am determined to win the championship this time!"
Leila said that she would also try her best to win the championship, at least not lose too badly.
Paimon was a little curious, why did Leila come to participate in the competition?
Leila said weakly, "I don't know why, but many people recommended me. I didn't sign up, but when I woke up I found my name on the notice board. I'm... very nervous. I'm always worried that I'll disappoint everyone... I haven't slept well for several nights."
Falusan gently comforted Leila: "Don't be nervous, junior. Failure is a compulsory course for everyone's growth."
Leila looked a little depressed. She didn't want to fail...
Ying looked at Kawi in the corner and asked curiously, "Why did Kawi come to participate in the competition?"
"Do you have to say it?"
"Be sure to tell us! We will record it!"
Kavi hesitantly explained: "Uh... it's... you know what I mean, right? I want to buy a property..."
Paimon said subconsciously: "I know, you want to move out of Elhaisen--"
Before Paimon could finish his words, Kavi coughed dryly a few times, "Cough cough cough cough! Cough! Alhaisen? What Alhaisen? What does he have to do here?"
[Kaeya: My goodness, now the whole of Teyvat knows that the great sage of Xumi, Elhaisen, is living with a man! ]
[Paimon: Didn’t you know this a long time ago? ]
[Ying: Xiao Shangxian directly calls me an expert! ]
【elf:….】
[Yae Shenzi: Kavi, you don't want others to know that you and El Haisen are living together, right? ]
[Kavi: Okay, okay, let’s stop using these jokes]
[Alice: Famous memes never go out of style! ]
[Elhaisen: Let me correct you. I just took him in.]
[The Great Compassionate Tree King: I still believe in the Great Sage on this point]
[El Haisen: Thank you for your trust, Tree King! ]
...
"Paimon must have remembered it wrong." Ying winked desperately.
Paimon immediately understood: "Ah, oh! Oh, that's right! That's strange, I accidentally said the wrong thing just now... So you're eyeing the prize money from the championship and want to use it to buy a house, right?"
Kavi nodded and added, "Also, when I was little, my dad participated in the college championship, but he didn't win. When I win the championship, I will be eligible to wear the crown. Maybe I can even fulfill my dad's dream."
Sister Shan praised Kawi: "I don't believe this reason, it's quite ambitious. Although with me here, the chances of the younger generation winning the championship are slim, but if you can really wear the crown of talent, I think your father should be very happy."
Kavi's tone was a little depressed. "Maybe there won't be any chance to be happy. Dad passed away many years ago. I heard that he was traveling in the desert, but he was unlucky and encountered quicksand. However, these are all in the past, and people should still live in the present, right? Let's change the subject. It would be bad if the atmosphere becomes heavy because of me."
[Kaia: Why did you suddenly put down the knife? ]
[Klee: Brother Kavi, Klee is willing to share her luck with you]
[Kavi: Thank you, Klee. I accept your kindness.]
[Paimon: The Eye of God is the ultimate wish. It is easier for people to have it when they are in pain, right?]
[Alice: Among all the people in Xumi, I admire Kavi the most because he reveals the truth. From my perspective, he is a brilliant genius and such a good and kind person, but his life is not so smooth. He has ideals but is dragged down by them. It is very similar to us who have been misunderstood by reality since childhood, but are determined to pursue our ideals. We feel guilty when we accept help.]
[Alice: In addition to the Great Compassion Tree King who is willing to sacrifice himself for Sumeru and Teyvat, you are also the person I admire the most. You are the most powerful architect in the entire Sumeru.]
[Kavi: Being praised by the legendary adventurer Ms. Alice is also a medal in my life. As for my Eye of God... I got it on the night when the Casazale Palace collapsed.]
[Barbelos: This persistence in ideals would move even the gods]
[Kole: When I interview Lord Seno, will he tell another joke? ]
...
"Just now you said you wanted to use the prize money to buy a house. Do you plan to live in it yourself? Where do you live now?"
Kavi coughed dryly a few times. This woman really knows how to chat. Her comments are sharp and heart-wrenching.
"Why does it feel a bit strange... I just heard about [Elhaisen], isn't he a member of our Zhilun sect? Are you hiding some secret from me?" There was a scent of gossip in the air.
Kavi smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.
"No, this has nothing to do with Paimon! Let's go interview other contestants first!"
....
Tinari saw them coming and greeted them warmly.
"Hehe, we're here to celebrate at the college too! And we're special guest commentators now!" Paimon couldn't help showing off.
Tinari was a little surprised. Although he had heard that there would be special commentators using cameras to record the game, he didn't expect that it would be them!
"Since I'm still on vacation, I have something to say. Don't you think it's interesting - what a coincidence, just like there is always a river under the bridge."
[Ying: My soup is frozen for unknown reasons. Do you have any clues, Senuo? ]
[Sino: Why does no one laugh every time... No one finds it funny? ]
[Alice: I just killed a guy who is proficient in fire element at the border. I was feeling quite hot at first, but after hearing these words, I suddenly felt cool.]
[Klee: Is this funny? Should Klee laugh? Is it rude not to laugh?]
[Tinari: Uh...Kelly, just ignore him...Every time you see him, he always tells jokes]
[Alice: One day the little earthworm asked his mother, where is my father, and his mother said, your father is fishing with others]
[Keqing: Puff, cough cough cough... I'm sorry, I really can't help it, this is too funny]
[Lisa: Although it is a joke, it contains the philosophy of life]
[Senuo: Do you know why Miss Shenhe can't take the same boat with Chongyun? ]
【Chongyun: ??? Why can't my aunt and I take the same bus? Is there any danger?】
[Senuo: Because...with aunt (friendship) the boat can capsize at any time]
[Xianyun: You guys are very energetic. Let me also write one. Do you know that Ganyu couldn't swim when she was a child, but she didn't sink when she fell into the water? ]
[Ganyu: Master! I could swim when I was a kid! So this question doesn’t apply!]
[Xianyun: Because Ganyu was chubby when she was a child, she is fat but not greasy! ]
[Ganyu (petrified): …]
[Paimon: Do you know why Xinhai hides when he sees a street singer? ]
[Coral Palace Xinhai: You guys...that's enough! ]
[Wendy: Wendy doesn’t know]
[Paimon: Because street singers are good at slacking off! ]
[Paimon: If you want Senor to shut up, then give him the Gold Suit, because silence is gold; if you want Senor to laugh at something funny, then give him the Thunder Suit, because laughter is like thunder.]
...
"Come to think of it, Tinari is the college representative of the Shenglun School, and Senuo is the college representative of the Sulun School... But if I remember correctly, you should have all graduated? Can you still participate in the competition after graduation?" Paimeng quickly changed the subject. If he continued to talk, the temperature of the entire Xumi would drop sharply, which would be even more terrifying than the Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring!
Tinari was already used to Paimon's feelings. "When I learned that I was chosen as the college representative, I was actually more surprised than you. Later I learned that all scholars who have been in the College of the Order are eligible to participate, regardless of whether they have graduated or not."
(Doctor: Seconds~)
Seno then added: "There are still some restrictions, such as sages cannot participate in the competition, and each person can only participate in one competition, etc."
Tinari: "There are two other ways to select college representatives. One is to sign up by yourself, and the other is to be jointly recommended by more than half of the scholars in the college."
Seno had long heard that many scholars had spontaneously campaigned for Tinari.
"Sometimes I really want to hit the juniors on the head so that they can focus more on their studies."
(Shen He: I am very good at knocking!)
Paimon: "Can't you refuse?"
Tinari: "You can refuse. But I've thought about it carefully, and this is also an opportunity for me. There will be an ecological science lecture at Huacheng Pigeon next month. If I participate in the college championship, I can use the popularity of the competition to do some publicity in advance."
"As for whether or not I win the championship, I don't really care, unlike the guy next to me."
Ying asked curiously, "Did Seno sign up on his own?"
Seno said seriously: "Well, make the most of the last bit of vacation time. I heard that the prize is the limited edition Seven Saints Summoning Card, so I took the initiative to sign up. The card this time is very precious, it would be a pity to miss it."
[Paimon: As expected of Seno, a card player is a card player]
[Kaeya: So, Lisa will also return to Xumi? ]
[Lisa: I am old now, and can only manage the library for the Knights]
[Klee: Can Klee also participate? Klee also studied at the Teaching Academy]
[Nashida: Of course, but you are still too young, Klee. Wait until you grow up. I will let you know when the time comes.]
[Ying: Is the vacation for the disciplinary officer so long? A full 84 days of vacation! ]
[Tinari: I feel like he took all the vacation time he could]
...
Paimon stroked his chin and asked curiously, "Could it be... this is the only super powerful card?"
Seno shook his head: "No, it's a very common card, but there is a layer of glittering silver particles on the card surface."
Paimon: "What's the use?"
Seno replied seriously: "Very handsome!"
