Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 252 - 251 Attracting Talents

Zhou Bai said in surprise, "How could that be? I clearly saw it."

Lin Muqing stroked his chin and said, "The only possibility is that the design you saw is also a result of the divination, perhaps a sight from the past, or a possibility for the future."

Lin Muqing said, "But since you’re so concerned about it, I’ll investigate it for you. Thanks for this, Zhou Bai."

Zhou Bai glanced at the Time Reverse gemstone, which had grown to allow for 30 minutes of reversal, and silently thanked it in his heart. The increase in Time Reverse duration was a significant enhancement for him.

...

Having located the divination pattern and the gemstone’s power increase again, Zhou Bai happily returned to his original life trajectory to continue practicing Daoist skills and strengthen his power.

However, since Xiao Pei couldn’t make it every night for practice anymore, Zhou Bai planned to bring in another person with high attractiveness.

"Whom should I bring in?" The heads of several individuals appeared in Zhou Bai’s mind, and after thinking it over, he decided, "It’s going to be them!"

"But how to bring them over?"

Christina looked at Zhou Bai’s worried expression and asked, "What’s wrong, Zhou Bai?"

Zhou Bai said, "How can I get Zheng Wentian and his group to join my study group?"

"It’s tough dealing with people from the Heavenly Court; they look down on people from the four great cities," recalled Christina. "But I remember, they are all quite interested in Twilight Taoist Skills. Maybe you can start from there."

Soon after, Zhou Bai stood outside Zheng Wentian’s door and knocked, calling out, "Is anyone there?"

"Anybody home?"

"I’m here to repay a debt!"

After knocking for a long time with no response, Zhou Bai said helplessly, "Zheng Wentian! Le Zhenzi! Could you lend me a hundred points for a meal? I’m starving!" In his heart, he thought resignedly, ’It’s not that I want to ask you for points, but who else to turn to when you ignore me?’

Moments later, Le Zhenzi opened the door and smashed the credit card on Zhou Bai’s face, "Here’s your card, now scram!"

Just as Le Zhenzi was about to close the door, he saw Zhou Bai’s head squeeze through the crack, "Wait a second! I have something important to say."

Le Zhenzi gave Zhou Bai no friendly looks, regretting his decision to stay at home after recalling what Zheng Wentian had advised him before.

...

Zheng Wentian said to Le Zhenzi, "Let’s go, we can’t stay at home."

Le Zhenzi responded, "Is that really necessary, Young Master? The environment in this small courtyard is quite nice, and I can cultivate my spirit mechanism here."

Zheng Wentian spoke with the tone of someone who had been through it before, "You don’t understand. Hiding in the room is like trapping turtles in a jar. When Zhou Bai comes asking for points, there will be no escaping him."

Le Zhenzi rolled his eyes and persuaded, "Young Master, we just have to be determined not to lend any this time. Zhou Bai can’t be that scary; can he be more tiresome than the Dao repository?"

"No, no," Zheng Wentian kept shaking his head. "From my experience of having lent points for four months, that little demon... I mean, that bastard Zhou Bai is way too persistent. We can’t outlast him."

Le Zhenzi, unconvinced by superstitions, still held a grudge for having lent points to Zhou Bai before and was determined to regain his honor, swearing never to lend Zhou Bai any points again.

Seeing Le Zhenzi’s stubbornness, Zheng Wentian sighed, feeling like his efforts were wasted on him, "If you won’t leave, I will. Sigh, you simply don’t understand."

Le Zhenzi asked, "Then, Young Master, when will you be back?"

"Coming back?" Zheng Wentian scoffed. "Only a fool would return. I haven’t stayed here for two months now. Every night, I pick a random classroom to sleep in so that Zhou Bai can’t find me."

Le Zhenzi looked at Zheng Wentian with a puzzled face, "Has the child gone mad? What a hassle, how should I explain this back at the Dao School?"

...

At that moment, Le Zhenzi stared with regret and resentment at Zhou Bai’s head squeezing through the door crack.

"You really have a very important matter?" said Zhou Bai. As he spoke, he activated the attractiveness detection function, and his eyes lit up upon seeing Le Zhenzi, "Another flashbang-level one, nice, nice. People from the Heavenly Court really do have good looks."

Then Zhou Bai said, "Hey, subordinate, how about you join my study group tonight? We can practice together and exchange knowledge."

Le Zhenzi looked at Zhou Bai coldly, thinking to himself with a sneer, ’Just now he was borrowing points from me, calling me Senior Le Zhenzi, and now he’s calling me subordinate.’

Zhou Bai continued, "Subordinate, are you familiar with Twilight Taoist Skills?"

Le Zhenzi nodded.

Zhou Bai said, "In my study group, there’s Qian Wangsun, Zuo Dao, Lu Wanzhen, and others who are all practicing Twilight Taoist Skills. I practice them almost every day; wouldn’t you like to come and see?"

Le Zhenzi’s eyes showed a flicker of interest. Intelligence on Twilight Taoist Skills, especially on the five Divine Skills, was something that Zi Yang Sword Immortal indeed paid great attention to.

Although just watching their practice might not yield much intelligence, with his status, he figured he could gain some valuable information under the guise of guidance.

So Le Zhenzi nodded, "Alright, I’ll come with you tonight."

Having persuaded Le Zhenzi, Zhou Bai was very pleased and calculated, ’Although Le Zhenzi isn’t quite like Xiao Pei, with the others included, we’re already very close to the limit that attractiveness bonuses can offer.

But if we could add one more person...’

Zhou Bai thought for a while and then approached Liu Bingxin, "Liu Bingxin, I’ve formed a study group with a few classmates like Zuo Dao, Qian Wangsun, and Lu Wanzhen. We get together for self-study every evening; would you like to join?"

Liu Bingxin’s eyes brightened slightly, very interested in Zhou Bai’s study group.

However, Zhou Bai’s halo as the top student in the school was too glaring. He had recently been rumored to have slain a Heavenly Demon, fighting alone against ten of them, killing one before reinforcements arrived.

Thinking this, Liu Bingxin felt Zhou Bai shine even brighter, "Can I... really join?"

"Of course, of course," Zhou Bai said while watching the attractiveness detection function show Liu Bingxin’s chandelier-level glow, which was somewhat blinding even at close range, "My study group is most welcoming of talented individuals like you."

Thus, that evening, the study group gained two more members.

Even Zheng Wentian was brought along by Le Zhenzi.

Zheng Wentian looked at Zhou Bai uneasily and sent a private message to Le Zhenzi, "Why did you bring me here? Do you want me to walk into a trap?"

Le Zhenzi replied in exasperation, "Lord True Monarch is very interested in the Twilight Taoist Skills of Dao School. I think we can get on good terms with them and extract some information about the Twilight Taoist Skills. It’s a rare opportunity, given all the members of the special repair class practice them."

Zheng Wentian nodded reluctantly, and only then did Zhou Bai turn around to leave.
