219 Graduation Work 1 (2/2)
Ye Qingxuan felt his vision going dark. There were no words to describe what he felt. Walking around the machine, his gaze fell on the three runners. ”What…is drawn on it?”
”No wonder you’re my junior! You always get the main point.” Charles whistled. ”Look, it’s the pineapple from the backyard of the School of Revelations, banana from the School of Royalty, cherry from Modifications, and this—this is my best work—I drew a five-pointed star with one stroke! What about it? Aren’t I awesome? If you want, I can teach you!”
”Uh…why does this dog look like Old Phil?”
”Because it is!” Charles slapped his knee and said excitedly, ”I drew each stroke while looking at Old Phil! What do you think? Doesn’t it look like him? It’s the biggest prize! If you get three Old Phils, you can win a hundred times the school points!”
”Senior, your drawing skills probably haven’t improved since you were eight!” Ye Qingxuan thought, but he had no strength to speak. He just wanted to get drunk, but Charles kept holding him and rambling about his design, this thing’s bright future, and finally ended on the name.
”Oh, I named it the Blood Lion. Don’t you think it’s really mighty and domineering?”
”Why does it sound like bad news? And there isn’t any blood or lion.”
”Then let’s call it Destructive Duke.”
”No.”
”Dark God of Destruction Four.”
”You want to graduate after ten more years? And you don’t even have one, two or three!”
”Half a Lifespan Three?”
”Shut up!”
After talking on and on, Charles finally stopped. Ye Qingxuan already felt dizzy as his intelligence dropped like a diver. To save the academy’s students and save their points, the youth slammed a fist on the table and announced, ”Anyway, this thing won’t work!”

They soon returned to the dining table. Ye Qingxuan sighed and said, ”So you used one month to create a gambling machine?”
Charles panicked. ”I’m sure it will have a good future! When it comes out, we’ll be able to live happily with just the money given to use it!”
”…Senior, don’t you want to graduate?”
Ye Qingxuan’s words hit Charles in the guts. He sighed in pain and abandoned the idea. ”But I can’t redesign something. Where do I find a new script?”
”Script?” Beside them, Bai Xi grinned. ”I have it.”
”…”
”…”
Ye Qingxuan and Charles stared at her as if looking at a ghost. Bai Xi was a little scared by their eyes. ”Why are you looking at me like that? I want to contribute sometimes too!”
”Yezi…” Charles sighed with teary eyes, ”Bai Xi is all grown up.”
Ye Qingxuan’s eyes were slightly red too and he dabbed at the corners. ”Yes, I’m so pleased.”
What they got in reply was the double performance of ”source” and ”frost.” A large basin of freezing water poured from the sky, chilling them to the bone.
”Are you done?” Bai Xi glared at them. ”Leave if you don’t want it!”
”We want it!” Ye Qingxuan nodded quickly. It was rare that Bai Xi was willing to help. Even if she could not, her thoughts were enough to make him and Charles touched.
With their coaxing, Bai Xi finally described her plan. ”This graduation work is called Soul Warrior. In Indian, it’s called Soul…”
