“Successfully reached the top, temporarily ranked first!”
After writing this, Zhou Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction. He felt very good about himself.
“Although I, the first place on the annual rankings, should be surpassed by Big Boss Ye Yi soon… the results on the 59th floor are enough to make all the other geniuses this year despair!”
After enjoying the honor of “arriving at the top” in the New Excellence Tower, Zhou Qingfeng left reluctantly.
The first thing he did after leaving the tower was to take a screenshot of the annual rankings, of course.
However, as soon as Zhou Qingfeng opened the annual rankings, he was dumbfounded. “No. 1: Black Earth, Level 72.”
… .
There were still millions of viewers in Zhou Qingfeng’s live-stream, even though most of them were talking about Black Earth.
“Look, Zhou Qingfeng lost!”
“You can’t even get past the 60th floor? That’s so lame! It’s far worse than Black Earth!”
“When Zhou Qingfeng first started broadcasting, he seemed to have said that he wanted to use this challenge to prove that he was stronger than Black Earth?”
“What’s there to prove! It only proves that he’s not on the same level as Black Earth!”
“What the f*ck? What kind of words did Zhou Qingfeng leave on the annual rankings? Successfully reaching the top? And temporarily at the top?”
“He’s not trying to laugh Daddy to death, is he?”
“Look, look! Zhou Qingfeng is out of the tower. He’s starting to check the annual rankings!”
“Haha! He’s dumbfounded!”
That night, Zhou Qingfeng’s “confused face” was made into an emoticon and quickly spread throughout the Internet.
The attentive netizens quickly discovered that “confused face” was simply an all-purpose emoticon. It was suitable for almost any chat scene—you were shocked to hear something, use it; you thought the other party was very awesome, use it; you thought the other party was very stupid, still use it!
Overnight, Zhou Qingfeng’s status in the emoticon world had almost risen to the same level as the Great Emperor Zhenxiang and the thief Zhou Liqi!
It became popular overnight!

Primordial Universe, Jiangnan Prefecture.
Lin Mo looked at the pogoda forest behind him and couldn’t help but sigh. “What a good place to farm money!”
Before entering the pogoda forest, he had been just a poor high school student. When he walked out of Tallinn, he had tens of millions.
“After the 73rd floor, I’ll continue the challenge in two days!”
Of course, Lin Mo was not defeated on the 73rd floor.
In fact, he had not entered the 73rd floor at all.
“In the New Talent Tower’s challenge mode, from the 60th floor onwards, you will be rewarded with 1 Primordial Universe point for every floor you pass. From the 70th floor onwards, you will be rewarded with 2 points for every floor! However… if you rank first on the historical leaderboard, you will also be rewarded with an additional 20 points!”
With these rewards, Lin Mo now had 36 Primordial Universe Points. As long as he was willing, he could exchange them for 36 million yuan in cash tonight.
It was also because of the 20 additional points from the “First in History” that Lin Mo chose to stop at the 72nd floor and not continue climbing for the time being.
Lin Mo would still settle the score. “I heard that Ye Yi, who’s ranked first on the Genius List, is very strong? If he can surpass me in the New Talent Tower and take first place in the historical rankings, then I can surpass him and snatch first place back. Then, wouldn’t I be able to get another 20 points of additional reward?”
20 Primordial Universe Points! 20 million yuan!
It would be a waste not to!
“Ye Yi, you must work hard! Don’t disappoint me!” Lin Mo looked forward to it eagerly.
Ye Yi, who was far away in the capital, suddenly felt his nose itch. He sneezed reflexively. “Achoo!”
“With my physique, why would I sneeze?” Ye Yi was a little puzzled. “Could it be that someone is plotting against me? Forget it, let’s prepare well first. I’ll activate the New Talent Tower’s challenge mode in the next two days… surpassing Black Earth is nothing difficult!”
… .
The next morning.
Lin Mo went to school as usual, but he was shocked by the commotion at the school gate.
“What situation?”
At the entrance of Haicheng Martial Arts High School, there was a sea of people. Colorful flags fluttered, gongs and drums sounded, and firecrackers sounded.
Lin Mo saw that almost all the teachers in the school had been mobilized. They were standing on both sides of the school gate, as if waiting for someone to welcome them. There were also many students watching the commotion around. All of them straightened their necks and looked forward to it.
“Is some big shot coming?” Lin Mo couldn’t help but be curious.
At this moment, Gao Haoran noticed Lin Mo in the crowd and quickly walked over. From the little fatty’s expression, he didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
“Brother Mo.” Gao Haoran complained as soon as he came up. “I might not be able to show off in school anymore!”
“Why?” Lin Mo was puzzled. “You were admitted to a top martial arts school. You’ve only been showing off for a day, why can’t you continue?”
Gao Haoran said gloomily, “With my little strength, even if I’m admitted to a top school, I can only show off! But today, someone really awesome is coming to our school!”
How could anyone pretend when “the showoff” had encountered “the truely powerful one”?
No wonder Gao Haoran was a little depressed! He had only been showing off for a day! If he had known, he would have flexed more!
“Oh?” Lin Mo couldn’t help but be even more curious. “How awesome?”
“It’s that ‘Yan Yimo’ on the Genius List of Xia country!” Gao Haoran said. “I don’t know what method the bald principal used to transfer this god to our Haicheng Martial Arts High School!”
“Yan Yimo?” Lin Mo’s memory was almost photographic now, so of course he had an impression of this name. “The seventh on the Genius List?”
“It’s down to eighth now!” Gao said.
“Why did it fall to eighth place? Did someone else surpass it?” Lin Mo really did not pay attention to the Xia country’s Genius List.
“Don’t you know Black Earth?” Gao Haoran said hurriedly. “In the Primordial Universe, the famous ‘Black Earth’ who blew up the novice training field a few days ago went to the New Talent Tower to challenge it. In the end, he directly ranked first on the history rankings!”
“Black Earth?” Lin Mo blinked. Wasn’t this himself?
Gao Haoran had no idea that the legendary “Black Earth” was actually standing beside him. He even patiently explained to Lin Mo about Black Earth. “Because of Black Earth, the Genius List of Xia country was updated overnight last night! Black Earth is ranked second on the Genius List, so the others naturally have to move one place down. Yan Yimo also fell to eighth place!”
At this point, Gao Haoran smiled again. “The one who’s in a worse state is still that Zhou Qingfeng! Last night, Zhou Qingfeng live-streamed himself as the number one of the New Excellence Tower’s annual rankings. In the end, he bumped into Black Earth and became a laughing stock! What’s worse… because Zhou Qingfeng’s performance was a little silly, when the Genius List of Xia country was updated, not only did his ranking not increase, but it also fell from 18th to 19th!”
Gao Haoran was quite happy watching the joke last night.
The emoji “Zhou Qingfeng’s dumbfounded face” was currently stored in his phone.
“Look!” Suddenly, Gao Haoran pointed at a white commercial car with his sharp eyes and shouted, “It should be Yan Yimo’s car!”
