A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 778 - 764: Unexpected Guest

Baiyu grabbed this person and poured out a large amount of emotion to him.

Then...

This classmate was actually moved to tears by Baiyu, overcome with sorrow, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Baiyu, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was so hard for you. I really didn't want to come to find you. Actually, I was also... I was also sent by someone else to gather information, I didn't dare to refuse him."

The boy said sorrowfully.

As he spoke.

He even started crying himself, "Brother, why are we all so miserable?"

Baiyu's face showed a look of sadness, "Aren't we all? We're all unfortunate souls, brother. Who sent you to ask me? What is his purpose?"

"Sparrow from the third grade, a big guy in the Investigation Academy with many followers. He has a girlfriend in your academy named Ling Miaoshan.

This time, his girlfriend died.

He wants to understand the situation at that time, but whether it's the teachers or the school's announcement, they all said it was two teachers from the Symbol Research Academy and the Investigation Academy turning traitors and killing the group of students.

What does he want to understand?"

This person was practically talking to himself on the last sentence.

Baiyu sat beside him, nodding in agreement, "Yeah, what does he want to understand? I fear understanding the matter is just a pretense, maybe he wants to use us freshmen as a way to vent his anger.

Thanks, brother."

Baiyu patted his shoulder, sensing that the time of his ability might be almost over, so he stood up immediately.

"It's nothing much."

This man returned the gesture, looking at Baiyu gradually leaving with eyes as if he had met a soulmate.

Soon.

Once Baiyu's figure disappeared from his view, he suddenly came to a realization as if awakening, instantly sober.

"What... what did I ask? What just happened?"

He muttered to himself.

A few seconds later, he finally reacted, startled, and started sweating coldly, slipping away from the Symbol Research Academy as if fleeing.

An ability that affects thoughts and minds!

This must be an ability that affects thoughts and minds.

He felt he was in big trouble, and now it's also hard to report back to Sparrow, caught between a rock and a hard place.

He didn't want to offend either side.

"Forget it, better to disappear for a while, let the storm blow over..." He thought to himself, feeling that vanishing from the world was a good move.

This seemed like the best solution at the moment.

...

Back in the dormitory.

Baiyu began preparing to participate in Loloya's trial and dealing with Sparrow's issues.

Third grade.

Which means this Sparrow is a Level Three student.

He's been at the school for this long without any contact with a Level Three student, so he didn't understand these students' depths.

However.

Regardless of strength, it's always good to be cautious.

As the saying goes, it's not the thief you fear stealing, but the thief watching you, and now that Sparrow had his eyes on him, Baiyu naturally couldn't rest easy.

This trouble had to be resolved.

"First, find out who Sparrow is, intelligence merchants are definitely not reliable, I can buy information on others, but others can also buy information on me.

These swindlers, you can't trust a word they say.

They might sell you out in the end."

Baiyu dismissed the route of buying and selling intelligence because the situation with Liu Xiang was still fresh in his mind.

Finding out about Sparrow wasn't too difficult a task.

Baiyu used the computer in the machine room, logged on to the school's local area network, and inputted the Investigation Academy's leaderboard.

There were many rankings in the school. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Moreover, maintaining a rank on certain leaderboards could earn extra resource rewards from the school.

For example, maintaining a high rank in the High-Energy Cultivation Room's simulation cultivation function could earn a lot of extra cultivation time every month.

The leaderboard represents not just honor.

There are also many extra resources, support, and connections, relationships, fame within the school, etc.

In any case, as long as they could get on the leaderboard.

No one wouldn't want to be on it.

Very soon, Baiyu found Sparrow's name on the Investigation Academy's leaderboard.

"The president of the Long Knife Club, a Level Three student, six years in school, strength unknown, ranked fifty-fourth on the president's leaderboard."

Fifty-fourth place.

And it's on the president's leaderboard.

This proves Sparrow's strength is certainly not weak, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to maintain such a rank.

Clubs at the holy Purple Crystal School are very casually formed, even a few students can randomly form a small group and apply for a club.

Therefore, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of clubs at the holy Purple Crystal School.

"Troublesome, can't deal with this Sparrow for now, the other side probably won't act recently either." Baiyu noted down his information and then began studying Loloya's behavior today.

The Great City, on the surface, is calm.

But in reality.

It's evident there are many open and hidden battles going on behind the scenes.

Loloya's method will undoubtedly win her favor among the students and assist her in recruiting talent.

The one who finally obtains the Golden Fruit will certainly be a school elite.

The student who gets the Golden Fruit from Loloya's hands will easily be recruited by her both as a Level One student and after graduation.

"It seems that the upper echelons of the Great City are also divided into factions.

But I don't know.

Exactly how strong the faction Loloya belongs to is."

Baiyu had no doubt about Loloya's strength, but in matters of factions, how could individual power influence it?

Unless strong enough, like the City Lord of the Great City.

Although the Great City now follows a dictatorial rule, where the City Lord can make decisions based on personal preference for everything big or small.

But.

Though Baiyu had been here for so long, he saw the City Lord's statue every day, but hadn't even seen a shadow of the City Lord.

So he felt.

The various daily affairs of the Great City are managed by people under the City Lord, and it's not just one person managing it.

This involves factional issues.

Where there are people, there are emotions and enmity.

Baiyu is not clear whether Loloya is reliable, the safest way is to first observe the circumstances of the Great City for a while.

Then.

Decide who to contact and who to avoid.

However.

This Golden Fruit has been laid out, and it is impossible for Baiyu to give it up.

"Just get the fruit first, Loloya definitely won't go back on her word in front of all the students.

But I wonder.

What form this trial of a hundred people will take."

Baiyu mused.

Knock, knock, knock.

Just as he finished planning his next steps, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Opening the door.

A familiar yet strange face appeared.

Tian Haobin!

Since Baiyu was captured by Loloya in Ice City and then returned to school, he hadn't encountered him.

He thought he had either perished or left with Ice City.

Who would have thought?

He appeared at this moment.

"Baiyu, I have something urgent to discuss with you, let's talk inside first."

Tian Haobin leaned his whole body on the door frame, blocking the doorway, and squeezed into the room before Baiyu could agree.
