Li Gang.
Hearing this na, Zhou Huai's heart stirred slightly.
In his mind, the blurry mory fragnts of the original host quickly reassembled, and a legendary na erged.
Li Gang, once the most dazzling Genius in Dongning Province.
An S-Class Profession, Grandmaster of Firearms.
He was known as “Thousand Miles Swift as a Swan”.
He could wield the most ordinary firearms with divine skill.
His most glorious achievent was in the brutal border conflict thirty years ago, when he, ard with a specially modified Barrett, sniped and killed an enemy S-Class Profession expert from ten kiloters away.
He beca a legend in one battle.
Now, a hero in his twilight years, he had retired to a second-line position, becoming the chief person in charge of this year's Provincial Examination.
No wonder he dared to make such a heavy promise.
Zhou Huai understood.
“Don't worry.” The examiner in the Zhongshan suit smiled and patted his chest: “As long as you can beco the top scorer, let alone the military's treasure vault, I estimate that the Governor himself will personally co forward to present you with an award!”
“That would be great.”
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, happily stood up, “Then I thank all the examiners.”
He bowed slightly to the three of them, then turned and left the office with the staff mber waiting outside the door.
The heavy door closed again.
Silence returned to the office.
Li Gang's smile slowly receded, he picked up his teacup, and his gaze turned to the ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ slightly overweight examiner beside him.
“How is it?”
“How much of what he just said is true?”
The slightly overweight examiner slowly opened his eyes, and a faint, almost invisible rune flashed across his brow.
“I used ‘Truth-Telling Art’.”
“This kid... is very interesting.”
“His previous words were half-true, half-false.”
Li Gang raised an eyebrow.
“What do you an?”
The slightly overweight examiner organized his words.
“He indeed cos from a certain Family in Donghai City; he did not lie about that.”
“But he was not a Genius carefully cultivated by the Family; on the contrary... quite the opposite.”
“Judging from the emotional fluctuations revealed in his words, he should be an abandoned... pawn of the Family.”
“A pawn?”
Li Gang and the other examiner in the Zhongshan suit were both stunned.
An SS-Class Profession expert, actually a Family pawn?
What a joke?
Which Family Head's brain was caught in the door to make such a foolish decision?
“This is... a bit interesting.” Li Gang stroked his chin, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
He continued to ask: “What about the rest? Is his purpose for participating in the National Examination really just to be the top scorer? No other intentions?”
The slightly overweight examiner nodded this ti, his expression firm.
“That is true.”
“His goal is indeed to be the top scorer in the National Examination, and just as he said, he is full of confidence, without any falsehood.”
Upon hearing this, Li Gang let out a long sigh of relief, relaxing completely and leaning back on the sofa.
“That's good, that's good.”
“As long as he's not sent by those rats who can't see the light of day, I'm relieved.”
The National Examination was a big deal, affecting the nerves of the entire Great Xia Country.
The biggest fear was the ergence of uncontrollable unexpected factors.
Now, knowing that this mysterious Gandalf was just a “madman” who simply wanted to win the championship.
His hanging heart finally settled down.
Just imagining the dumbfounded expressions of those old guys in the Imperial Capital tomorrow when they saw Gandalf's Heaven-Defying performance.
Li Gang already felt like laughing now.
...
On the other side.
Gandalf was led by the staff into a spacious single suite.
The room was large, clean, tidy, and fully equipped with daily necessities.
“Mr. Gandalf, please rest first.”
“If you need anything, just press the call bell on the wall at any ti; we will be right outside the door.”
The staff mber respectfully finished his instructions, then closed the door and left.
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, walked to the bed and sat down, then issued the standby command.
The Clone's eyes instantly lost their luster, and he sat there quietly, like an exquisite doll.
Zhou Huai's consciousness returned to his main body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the phone on the bedside vibrated “buzzing”.
The caller ID was Ye Xi.
Zhou Huai answered the phone, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curling up.
“Hello, Xi'er.”
“Brother Zhou Huai! I got into the National Examination! I got in!”
On the other end of the phone, Ye Xi's excited scream, almost breaking her voice, imdiately ca through.
Zhou Huai smiled and moved the phone a little further away.
“I heard, I heard.”
“Our Xi'er is so amazing, isn't it natural for her to get into the National Examination?”
“Hehe!” Ye Xi let out a series of bell-like laughter, and then began to complain endlessly.
“You don't know how difficult that Tower of Revelation is! The monsters inside are nurous and fierce, I tried my best, and only climbed to the thirteenth floor at the last mont, almost collapsing from exhaustion.”
At this point, her tone suddenly beca indignant.
“The most infuriating thing is that Lu Qi! He actually also got into the National Examination! And he even climbed to the fourteenth floor!”
“I originally thought that with his appearance, it would be a miracle if he could even reach the thirteenth floor.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Lu Qi? Fourteenth floor?
It was indeed sowhat beyond his expectations.
Given the strength Lu Qi had shown before, barely making it to the thirteenth floor would have been a miracle.
Did this guy also hide so trump card?
Zhou Huai sneered inwardly.
No matter what he hid.
Tomorrow, it should all be dealt with.
He didn't want to carry such a burden on the stage of the National Examination.
If he really won the championship, wouldn't he have to share so of the honor with him?
Dream on.
Eliminating him at the start was the optimal solution.
“Oh, by the way, Brother Zhou Huai,” Ye Xi's voice sounded again, with a hint of curiosity.
“We also t another teammate today, also from our Donghai City. His na is Gandalf.”
“But I always feel he's a bit strange.”
Zhou Huai raised an eyebrow, feigning curiosity and saying, “Oh?”
“What's strange about him?”
Ye Xi pondered for a mont.
“I don't know what's strange, but I feel like the way he looked at was familiar.”
“I always feel... it's very similar to how that Yasuo looked at before.”
“Brother Zhou Huai, he wouldn't be one of your people too, would he?”
Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat.
A tingling sensation instantly surged through him.
No way?
Does this woman's sixth sense have to be so accurate?!
He quickly cleared his throat and said in a wry tone: “What kind of ssy things are you thinking about all day in that little head of yours?”
“I don't have that much ability.”
“Alright, stop overthinking, go to sleep quickly and get enough rest.”
“You still have the National Examination tomorrow, perform well.”
“Oh...” Ye Xi responded obediently. “Alright then.”
“After the National Examination is over, I'll co see you!”
“Good night, Brother Zhou Huai.”
“Good night.”
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Huai let out a long breath and raised a hand to wipe his forehead.
That was close.
Today, he had deliberately controlled Gandalf to avoid too much interaction with Ye Xi.
He even tried to avoid eye contact.
Yet she could still detect sothing unusual?
Her observational skills were simply outrageous.
He had already revealed one identity to Ye Xi.
This identity could not be easily exposed.
It had to be kept hidden.
