Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 484 - 479: Anhe Middle School, Truly Deserving
As the sun sets, the nearly month-long Hua Continent High School Championship has finally come to a close.
Principal Zhang stands beside the podium, wearing a brand new suit, with his head held high and chest proud.
Today will be his, Zhang Zhihe, the most glorious moment in his 15 years at the school.
Even when he retires in the future and looks back on past honors, he will still remember the glory of today.
This is the first time in over 100 years of Anhe Middle School’s history to reach the finals stage of the Hua Continent High School Championship, and also the first time to proudly hold the championship trophy.
With the hard work and dedication of 12 students, Anhe Middle School became the champion of the 56th Hua Continent High School Championship, with an absolute advantage of 30 points over the runner-up.
When the big screen announced this good news, the students of Anhe Middle School hugged each other excitedly, tears streaming down.
Especially the veteran players Yao Meng and Wang Hao, who felt it more deeply.
No other competition has ever been as unforgettable as this one.
On this journey, they went from strangers to familiar companions, from being looked down upon to becoming the dark horse of the competition.
Countless psychological and physical limits and ordeals brought them to tears, but they never thought of giving up.
It was this persistence that earned them the highest honor today.
Anhe Middle School, deservedly so!
...
But the only regret was that Ji Ning was not present.
At this moment, she was near the Anhe Film and Television Base, having hot pot with Ye Tong.
Ye Tong was initially surprised why Ji Ning had returned, but hearing her say they should eat first, she didn’t rush to ask.
The two ordered a mixed pot; Ji Ning could eat spicy food, but Ye Tong couldn’t. As an actor, she had to protect her voice, so she rarely touched chili.
After eating three to four pounds of lamb, Ye Tong was already too full, holding her stomach against the chair back, watching Ji Ning continue to devour meat.
The envy in her eyes was almost tangible.
Why doesn’t Sister Ning gain any weight no matter how much she eats?
"Sister Ning, tell me, how can I eat as much as you do and not gain weight?"
Ji Ning looked up at her, swallowed the lamb in her mouth, and said, "When you become a superpower user, you won’t gain weight."
Ye Tong almost choked on her saliva, quickly looking around, fortunately, there weren’t many people around.
Ji Ning snickered, picking up another chopstick of meat and placing it into her small bowl with sauce.
Ye Tong, seeing no one around, lowered her voice excitedly, "Sister Ning, can I awaken superpowers?"
Ji Ning, eating meat, glanced at her, "Almost S-Class, right?"
Ye Tong was slightly startled; she didn’t know what her current constitution level was, but she could feel her physical fitness improving day by day.
Especially the strength and speed of her punches, sometimes Gu Lin and Ling Zhi would exclaim a few words, praising her martial arts talent that should have been nurtured since childhood.
Ye Tong replied, "The last time I checked at school, I was at constitution level A6, should be soon?"
"I mean your spiritual power," Ji Ning said lightly.
Ye Tong, shocked and unbelieving, said, "Sister Ning, are you mistaken? Last time at school, my spiritual power just broke through to B-level."
Ji Ning responded with a "mm" and asked, "Have you been staying up late memorizing lines lately?"
Ye Tong nodded nervously.
Recently, for some unknown reason, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for a month; at night, her spirits were high. To avoid disturbing Ling Zhi’s rest, she could only take her script out to the hallway to memorize lines.
Ji Ning asked, "How many times has Su Qiangwei approached you privately?"
Ye Tong bit her lip, not daring to answer, but facing Ji Ning’s straightforward words, "She gave you the S20 Superpower Awakening Medicine; the dosage was enough to rapidly raise your spiritual power to S-Class."
"What?" Ye Tong sat up straight in shock, looking at Ji Ning in disbelief.
Ji Ning had just discovered not long ago, and specifically asked Su Qiangwei when she returned to Beijing.
She admitted she wanted Ye Tong as a backup host, so she approached her several times and gave her some Awakening Medicine.
Fortunately, Ye Tong’s body had been improved by Ji Ning’s Healing Ability, allowing her to withstand the side effects of the medicine without her spirit collapsing.
However, Ye Tong’s spiritual power was unstable and needed some sorting out.
"After we finish eating, I’ll take a look at you. This medicine has side effects, and fortunately, your foundation is good, preventing any mental disorder," Ji Ning said lightly, continuing to eat large bites of meat.
Ye Tong was completely shocked by Ji Ning’s words, rendering her mind chaotic.
S20 is a prohibited drug; Feng Yu had unknowingly taken it before and almost ended up in jail.
She doesn’t want to end up in prison...
Thinking of this, she looked uneasily at Ji Ning, "Sister Ning, did you come here to arrest me?"
Ji Ning almost rolled her eyes, really not wanting to answer such out-of-line questions.
Ye Tong’s expression began to collapse, almost crying, forcing Ji Ning to respond, "No."
Ye Tong sniffed, looking at Ji Ning with pitiful eyes, "Sister Ning, will this medicine affect my brain?"
"Even if you don’t take medicine, your brain isn’t good," Ji Ning mercilessly teased.
Ye Tong was instantly more emo, her eyes accusing and muttering under her breath.
Ji Ning felt uncomfortable being looked at by her and, after finishing another big bite of meat, changed the topic, "Aren’t you going to ask about Bai Xiaotang’s competition results?"
Ye Tong quickly changed her expression, grabbing her phone to call Bai Xiaotang, complaining as she dialed, "Oh, I forgot today was the last two matches."
Ji Ning chuckled, "That’s why I said your brain isn’t good."
Ye Tong: ...
Upon learning that Anhe Middle School was the overall champion, Ye Tong almost spilled her drink in excitement.
"Sister Ning... Sister Ning, Tangtang and the others won, the overall champion."
Ji Ning nodded slightly, appearing as if she knew long ago, "Not bad."
"You already knew?"
"Just found out."
"Then why aren’t you excited? This is the Hua Continent’s overall champion."
Ji Ning said indifferently, "Isn’t winning the championship quite normal? At least they are trained by me; even if they’re weaklings they’re stronger than ordinary people."
Ye Tong: ...
Sister Ning has also learned not to be modest like Bai Xiaotang.
After eating, on the way back to the hotel, Ji Ning told Ye Tong about Su Qiangwei’s situation.
Including wanting her to impersonate Su Qiangwei to go undercover in West Continent.
The smile on Ye Tong’s face gradually disappeared, while Ji Ning’s expression remained calm.
"I’ve considered it for a long time, only you are most suitable, but if you don’t want to go, I respect your choice."
Ye Tong was silent for a while, then asked softly, "If I don’t go, who will you send?"
"Me," Ji Ning looked at the distant sky, her eyes calm.
Ye Tong said directly, "Then I’ll go."
Ji Ning turned her head in surprise, slightly furrowing her brows, "You don’t have to do that."
But Ye Tong shook her head, "Sister Ning, I’m not impulsively agreeing because there’s only you as the choice. I don’t want you to play Su Qiangwei."
With that last sentence, a strong anger erupted in Ye Tong’s eyes, even adding a few degrees to her voice.
"She has used the idol name to enjoy glory for so many years, why does she still delusionally want to completely become an idol?"
Ye Tong said with hatred, "Su Qiangwei, she’s not worthy!"
She looked into Ji Ning’s eyes, and seriously said, "Sister Ning, as an idol heir. I won’t allow her to tarnish your reputation again, so I will play this wicked woman. You mustn’t touch it."
Ji Ning: ...
