Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 26

The yellow-haired boy was called Huang JunCai, nicknamed Little Huang, and he a son of a rich family.

But for some reason, his character was so frivolous that he never had a girlfriend until today.

During the first year of high school, he had been ransomed by the bastards outside the school. Li Rui saw that he wore the same school uniform and decided to help him out. Ever since then, this guy had been stuck to Li Rui like a piece of gum.

“Brother Rui, is Little Wei better? A few days ago, I went to Europe and brought back some of her favorite chocolates. I will pass it to her tomorrow after school.”

Li Rui’s heart was filled with warmth. When this guy was serious, he was still a good person.

He lightly nodded. “She is much better. I will prepare for her for school soon.”

Huang JunCai looked up: “Really? Little Wei can go back to school in the future? That’s great!”

“Well, I just don’t know how to deal with the admissions office…”

“I can help with this. But to be honest, Brother Rui, you’d better perform better before mentioning this. Now there are many people in the school who are dissatisfied with you.”

Huang JunCai’s face became serious as he whispered into Li Rui’s ear, “You haven’t participated in any competitions on behalf of the school for more than a year after entering school. The school managers are already impatient with you. Plus, you have a first-class scholarship and the position of captain of the school team. There are many people on the team who aren’t happy with you.”

Li Rui frowned. In order to take care of Li Wei, he did not have the chance to showcast himself but now that he has returned, he will prove his ability!

“By the way, Coach Chen told you to go to the school team once you’re back; maybe he wants to talk to you about this.”

“Ok, got it.”

As they talked, the two had reached their classroom.

As soon as they entered the door, the sound of exclamations immediately surrounded Li Rui.

“Brother Rui, long time no see!”

“Where have you been for so long?”

…

Li Rui lightly smiled and greeted his classmates. He was popular in the class.

“Wait! Everybody be quiet, I have something to say, please listen!”

Huang JunCai suddenly reached out hands with his face full of seriousness.

The students thought he had something important to say and the noisy voices around him suddenly disappeared.

When he noticed that everyone in the class was looking at him seriously, Huang JunCai nodded in satisfaction.

“Everyone of you here is a piece of trash!”

The atmosphere was silent for a second, then everyone reacted and hit him.

“What’s the problem with you?”

“You’re a piece of sh*t !!”

…

Li Rui helplessly shook his head and felt no mercy for this foolish boy.

The morning class ended unhappily and Li Rui felt sore and pain again during lunch.

He opened the system to see that the HP had become 76/76 [Undigested Extra Lives : 148 points].

He had digested a little more!

Li Rui then showed a beautiful smile.

Since his injuries were healed, the digestion rate of the extra HP had been accelerating. According to his estimation, as long as there was enough food, he could fully digest and absorb the additional HP of the ruby crystal within a few months.

His HP could be doubled in such a short time!

The power of the system was like a cheat!

This kind of strengthening that could be seen, gave Li Rui a sense of fulfillment.

Just like playing a video game, the data was intuitive and visible and the motivation of people to move forward could become an obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Looking at the EXP at 87/100, Li Rui shook his itchy fingers and a trace of anticipation rose in his heart.

After the lunch break, Li Rui went to the school’s sports center.

Various clubs had already started their activities. Li Rui walked towards the central fighting gym through the football and basketball courts.

“Why is he here?”

“Maybe he has dropped out?”

“Didn’t they praise him as the strongest captain in history before?”

“Oh, he hasn’t played a match in a year so he must have been abandoned.”

Li Rui heard all the whispers along the way but he curled his lips and ignored the gossips.

“Ah! Captain!”

As he pushed the doors open to the integrated fighting gym, the cheers of surprise came from all the girls while the boys mostly watched him coldly.

“Li Rui, you still have the audacity to come to the school team?”

Just as he was changing, a handsome boy came up to him and looked at him provocatively.

Li Rui frowned, looked him up and down; pondered for a moment and hesitantly spoke.

“Who are you?”

“Yi KaiCheng! I am Yi KaiCheng!”

The boy was clenching his fists furiously and gave him a death glare.

His biggest enemy did not remember him!

This was impossible!

Yes, that’s it, this guy must be pretending. He’s trying to humiliate me!

Damn it!

“Oh! I remember!”

Li Rui gave himself a slap as he realized who this guy was.

This guy’s name was only different from Brother Cheng’s name by one word and Li Rui was naturally impressed by the other name.

It was just that this guy seemed to be a little bit more handsome and the name didn’t match up to his face.

“You are Yi Kaicheng, the one who cried after beating you up when school started!”

Yi KaiCheng flushed and clench his teeth so hard that he could only get a few words out, “I didn’t cry! I was just sweating through my eyes!”

“Oh, sure.”

Waving his hand, Li Rui carelessly walked past and sat on the bench to change his shoes.

Yi KaiCheng fiercely stared at his back with his fists tightly clenched.

Suddenly, a golden figure rushed toward Li Rui and hit him on the head.

“Yo~ Captain! Long time no see!”

His neck was strangled and his head fell into a warm embrace. Li Rui forcefully raised his head and an angelic face came into view.

The pretty face’s features were like a Westerner’s but it was combined with the delicacy of an Asian’s.

She seemed to have a filter around her when she smiled and it was as if you could see flowers and holy lights lingering around her.

Even though he had been accustomed to photoshopped beauties online, Li Rui couldn’t help but sigh. This fellow didn’t even look real at all but as if there were special effects added to his eyes!

“Luo Li, long time no see.”

Margaret Robin, a native of the Lucia tribe.

Her father was a famous luxury designer in Italy and her mother was an important scientist from the former Soviet Union. They had left the country after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, settled in China and then gave birth to Margaret Robin.

Of course, she had given herself a Chinese name, Luo Li, but Li Rui didn’t find anything ‘loli’ about her.

On the contrary, her figure could only be described as a 404 error and it could not be described below the neck because it would definitely go over the chapter’s limit during the attempt.

Under the heavy pressure, Li Rui bowed his head in humiliation.

“Captain, why weren’t you be at home when I went to your home last time?”

“I was out.”

“What happened?”

“Went to find a doctor for Little Wei.”

“Is Little Wei better? I found a new dessert shop. The cheesecake there is super delicious!”

Laying on Li Rui’s back, as LuoLi was happily talking to him and there was rage in the eyes of the boys around him.

T/N:

Luo Li’s name sounds like ‘loli’ or ‘lolita’ in Chinese.
