Chapter 167 Bai Ze

Qiao Yu rushed out and grabbed Ma Fei's shoulders, shaking him vigorously.

"Ma Fei, do you know? Do you know? I understand! I figured it out!"

Then he hugged Yang Xiangdi tightly, squeezing Yang Xiangdi's face red.

"Yang Xiangdi, do you know? I understand! I understand!"

Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi exchanged a glance amidst the chaos.

They both confirmed one idea: Qiao Yu had really gone mad.

Only Qiao Yu himself could understand how excited he was at this moment.

After more than half a month of working day and night, he finally understood the meaning of all the draft papers left by his parents.

These draft papers were all about the same research project.

That was how to awaken the self-awareness of NPCs in the Otherworld.

Awakening self-aware NPCs, Qiao Yu first thought of the Mechanical Empress, followed by Xun Dong.

Both of these people were NPCs with self-awareness.

Among them, Xun Dong was a member of Bai Ze. If he could confirm that the Mechanical Empress was also related to Bai Ze...

Qiao Yu had a bold guess in his mind: perhaps his parents were not dead, and they were in Bai Ze!

But there was still one thing he couldn't understand: why did his parents want to awaken the self-awareness of NPCs?

NPCs who awakened self-awareness would definitely not want to continue being NPCs who were constantly refreshed and reset, just like the Mechanical Empress.

If all the NPCs in the Otherworld awakened their self-awareness, the first thing they would do would definitely be to unite and fight for freedom.

In that case, there would definitely be riots in the Otherworld...

Unfortunately, the content recorded on these draft papers were only semi-finished products, otherwise he could have learned more from them.

Walking into the bathroom, he washed his face and looked at the angular face, sparse stubble, and messy hair of the person in the mirror.

Qiao Yu took a deep breath.

No matter what the truth was, as long as he found his parents, everything would be clear.

There was no point in him speculating wildly here.

Whether it was verifying the relationship between the Mechanical Empress and Bai Ze, or going to Bai Ze to find his parents, he simply couldn't do it with his current strength.

After shaving and washing his hair, Qiao Yu, who came out of the bathroom again, had returned to his former self.

Seeing Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi staring at him, Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Are you so captivated by my handsomeness that you can't pull yourselves away?"

Yang Xiangdi walked forward, reached out and touched Qiao Yu's forehead, then touched his own forehead.

"You don't have a fever. Brother Yu, what's wrong with you? You've made me feel so strange and scared lately. Have you been possessed by a powerful being? Or has a time-traveler been reborn in you?"

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly normal," Qiao Yu said.

"I don't believe it, unless you scald a few with lava," Yang Xiangdi said with a serious face.

Qiao Yu: "..."

The next second, Yang Xiangdi had a panda eye.

"Brother Yu, you're too ruthless!"

Yang Xiangdi rolled an egg around his eyes, he found that Qiao Yu was not paying attention to him, but was frowning and staring at his arm.

Yang Xiangdi also walked over to look, and at a glance, his pupils shrank instantly.

"Brother Yu! This is... that curse?!"

On Qiao Yu's arm, the face of a *hanba* (drought demon) was clearly visible, as if it was about to crawl out from under the skin at any time.

Moreover, the *hanba*'s face also had a strange smile, making Yang Xiangdi feel chills down his spine in broad daylight.

"Teacher Peng said before that the principal will be back in half a month and there will be a solution. I'll go find the principal."

Qiao Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter. He was too immersed in studying the draft papers before, and he didn't even think about this.

"Okay, we'll go with you." Ma Fei also stood up.

With less than ten days left before the start of school, Kyoto University at this time was much more lively than when Qiao Yu and the others first arrived.

Many green freshmen had already appeared on campus, looking at the trees and plants of Kyoto University with curious eyes, and also curiously looking at the three of Qiao Yu who were in a hurry.

The three of them soon arrived at the door of the principal's office. The door was half-closed. Qiao Yu knocked on the door and found that no one answered him, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

As far as he could see was a desk, and sitting in front of the desk was a young man with his legs crossed and an arrogant expression. The principal of Kyoto University, Ji Pingyang, was not in the office.

"Hello, classmate, do you know where Principal Ji has gone?" Qiao Yu asked politely.

The young man glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said coldly.

"If you want to see Principal Ji, go queue up outside. Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served? People from the countryside are really uncultured."

"You locals are very polite, but I'm curious, do you locals use your mouths to fart?"

Qiao Yu treated him with courtesy, but was met with a face full of disdain, so naturally he would not continue to be polite to this kind of person.

The young man slowly stood up, staring at Qiao Yu.

"What? Do you think you're great just because you got into Kyoto University? In my opinion, you're not even worth a fart."

"I advise you not to provoke me. Do you know who my father is?"

Qiao Yu curled his lips.

"Why are you asking me? Didn't your mother tell you who your father is?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then his face turned livid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You bumpkin, you're courting death!"

He swung his fist and bombarded Qiao Yu.

The entire Kyoto University was covered by the Otherworld conversion device, and his fist directly tore through the air, making a series of sonic booms.

Qiao Yu also countered with a straight punch.

Bang!

Two heavy punches collided, and the violent fluctuations overturned the poor cactus on the desk.

Qiao Yu and the young man took three steps back at the same time.

Qiao Yu was a little surprised in his heart that the person in front of him could actually fight him head-on without falling behind.

This strength was probably comparable to Gu Su, who had absorbed the Shadow Servant.

Little did he know that the young man on the opposite side was even more shocked than Qiao Yu at this time.

He tried hard to suppress the trembling of the hand that had just collided with Qiao Yu. The collision just now seemed to be evenly matched, but in reality, he was the one who suffered.

Since he became a player, it was the first time that he had fallen into a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation with someone.

He began to look at Qiao Yu seriously, his eyes seeming to want to see through Qiao Yu.

"Are you the top scorer in some city's college entrance examination?" the young man asked.

Seeing that Qiao Yu did not speak, he was not annoyed.

When he spoke again, the young man's tone was obviously much better.

"I understand, geniuses have their own arrogance."

"Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Qin."

When he mentioned his surname, a hint of arrogance flashed across the young man's face.

"My name is Qin Xuan, and the principal of Kyoto University, Ji Pingyang, is my uncle!"
