Chapter 247. This Slacking King’s Focus Is More Than a Little Strange
【Choice One: Faced with an extremely dangerous mission, although you have the strength to deal with it, you choose to endure and wait until your strength becomes even greater before participating in Battle Division missions. Reward: Title, “Daoist Master of Ultimate Caution.”
Choice Two: Faced with a dangerous and thrilling mission, although you have the strength to deal with it, you simply slack off and do not want to participate. Carry out a mission? I’m not going. No one can treat me like a beast of burden. Reward: “Low-level Slacker Gift Pack.”
Choice Three: Now that you have reached the Martial God Realm, and you possess a fully equipped set of abilities capable of killing gods, what kind of behavior would it be to act timid with such powerful strength? Follow your heart and make the choice you truly want, without leaving yourself with regrets. Reward: “Advanced Slacking Gift Pack.”】
Jiang Yichen looked at the three choices that appeared before him and stroked his chin in thought.
Actually, it would be fine if he did not participate in this mission. He could simply continue his happy life. But it felt like it would be missing a bit of excitement.
Besides, he did not care about the danger of the mission to escort Nezha back to the country at all.
To the current him, as long as he did not encounter a God-King-level god, he was an existence that could slaughter everything recklessly.
What he cared about was...
Jiang Yichen raised his head and looked at Mei Xue’er. He asked, “Minister Mei, when do the cherry blossoms bloom in the mortal world of Japan? If their cherry blossoms are blooming, I’ll participate. I can go admire them while I’m at it.”
???
Huh?
As soon as those words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
No, this was a dangerous mission where they could face gods at any moment, yet his focus was actually on admiring cherry blossoms?
What kind of thought process was this?
“Brother Yichen, do you have a fever?” Tang Long raised his hand and touched Jiang Yichen’s forehead. “No fever. Then why are you talking nonsense?”
Jiang Yichen: “...”
Chu Xingchen also revealed a strange expression. “Yichen, this mission is so dangerous, but you’re treating it like a vacation?”
Jiang Yichen immediately nodded. “I’ve already toured everywhere in the country. This is just right. I can go see what things are like abroad and treat it as a way to relax.”
This...
Mei Xue’er and the others were stunned.
The Slacking King’s focus really was different.
They were discussing the mission’s danger level and worrying about their lives, yet Jiang Yichen was thinking about traveling to Japan.
“Damn! Brother Yichen, your mentality is... invincible.” Tang Long gave him a thumbs-up.
Su Linyu also did not know how to persuade him. She felt that Brother Yichen did not seem to care about the danger of the mission at all.
“So, when do the cherry blossoms in Japan bloom?” Jiang Yichen continued asking.
The corner of Mei Xue’er’s mouth twitched. Feeling extremely speechless, she sighed and said, “Ever since Spiritual Energy revived after the Great Cataclysm, the cherry blossoms in the mortal world of Japan have basically bloomed all year round. There’s no such thing as seasonal withering anymore.”
Jiang Yichen’s eyes lit up. “All right, then I’ll participate.”
“...”
Lingling, Mo Yan, and Liang Shan covered their foreheads, somewhat sighing over how strange Jiang Yichen was.
“The Boss’s focus really is unexpected,” the handsome Sleep God said with a smile.
Mei Xue’er no longer knew what to say. She looked at Su Linyu and the other two. “What about you?”
Su Linyu did not hesitate. “If Brother Yichen participates, then I’ll participate too.”
Even if they encountered a god that mortals could not resist, at least she could stay by Brother Yichen’s side at the final moment of her life.
“I am both a member of the Divine Battle Division and a citizen of Huaxia. I have a duty to escort a god of Huaxia back to the country,” Chu Xingchen said with a solemn expression.
Tang Long looked conflicted. He truly did not want to go. The Guankou Divine Ruins last time had already been terrifying enough.
This time, they were directly entering the mortal world of Japan, where the gods of Takamagahara resided. This was far too dangerous.
But...
Seeing that Brother Yichen and the others were all going, he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, slapped his thigh, and said, “Brothers don’t abandon or give up on one another. I’ll go too.”
Mei Xue’er nodded with a smile. “Good. For the next half month, we will make preparations in advance for heading to the mortal world of Japan.”
“First is daily training, with a focus on improving strength. Old Gu will provide us with a training plan when the time comes.”
“Second, we will study Japanese. Two Japanese classes every day to solve our communication issues in Japan.”
“As for other problems, once we arrive in the mortal world of Japan, Battle Division personnel will receive us.”
Mei Xue’er’s gaze stopped on Jiang Yichen. “You may skip daily training, but you must attend Japanese class.”
To be honest, Jiang Yichen’s strength had already reached such an outrageous level that even Old Gu could not provide a training plan for him.
Daily training was already completely unnecessary for Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen was stunned. He suddenly remembered that when he had opened a gift pack last time, he had obtained the reward “Universal Tongues,” which allowed him to understand all kinds of languages.
He raised an eyebrow. “Then if I know Japanese, does that mean I don’t have to attend class?”
Huh?
Mei Xue’er frowned. “You’ve studied Japanese?”
That was not right. Jiang Yichen’s education records had no record of him taking any Japanese-related courses.
Su Linyu also revealed a strange expression. She knew better than anyone whether Brother Yichen had studied Japanese.
When had Brother Yichen learned Japanese?
“Brother Yichen, don’t bluff. We were in the same class from elementary school to university. I know whether the school taught Japanese or not.”
Tang Long narrowed his eyes, wanting to expose Jiang Yichen.
Chu Xingchen also nodded. Japanese was not part of Huaxia’s education system at all.
“All right, Slacking King. I can see it now. You’re pretending you know Japanese so you don’t have to attend class,” Lingling stood up and exposed him with one sentence.
Jiang Yichen sighed. “Where is the trust between people?”
Then he translated it into Japanese. “Trust between people.”
Hm?
Everyone was stunned, their eyes widening slightly.
No way. You really know it?
Jiang Yichen said calmly, “Actually, I prefer the Russian translation of this sentence: ‘Trust between people.’”
“It has more feeling than the English translation, ‘Trust between people.’”
???
“Huh? Are you still the Brother Yichen I know? No, brother, you secretly studied behind our backs?” Tang Long looked incredulous.
Chu Xingchen also said in surprise, “So this is the legendary betrayal?”
Only Su Linyu revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and praised him. “Brother Yichen, you’re amazing. You actually know so many languages. You must have spent a lot of time and energy studying them.”
“So my Brother Yichen only appears to slack off on the surface, but secretly works so hard behind the scenes.”
Uh...
Jiang Yichen looked embarrassed. I really didn’t secretly work hard.
This one was entirely the system’s responsibility.
“Minister, he really seems to know it...” Lingling, who had been so righteous earlier, weakly sat back down.
Mei Xue’er could not quite understand it. It was already one thing that he usually slacked off and did not train, yet his strength still kept growing stronger.
But how did he also know so many languages?
Why did it feel like those of them who worked hard could not compare in any aspect to someone who slacked off?
Mei Xue’er refused to believe it. An idea flashed through her mind, and she said, “Fine. Since you know Japanese, then you don’t need to study it. You can directly teach us Japanese instead.”
“That way, the Battle Division won’t have to invite a member stationed in Japan back.”
?
Jiang Yichen’s expression stiffened. Fine, fine, so this is how you want to play it.
Being a teacher... Then all of you are going to suffer in the future.
An evil plan began to grow in his heart.
“Sure. Then what should you all call me now?” Jiang Yichen looked at Mei Xue’er and the others.
“...” The corner of Mei Xue’er’s mouth twitched. Only after a long while did she unwillingly squeeze out three words. “Teacher. Jiang.”
She refused to believe Jiang Yichen could really teach.
Jiang Yichen nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth rising. “Very good. Remember to come to class tomorrow. Anyone who’s late will be punished.”
Mei Xue’er and the others: “...”
This... It seemed they had dug a pit and jumped into it themselves.
Su Linyu burst into laughter and looked at Jiang Yichen, her eyes full of worship.
Brother Yichen is our teacher now. Dating a teacher... How exciting.
Jiang Yichen listened to the form of address and felt secretly pleased.
At that moment, the system reward also arrived.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making a slacking choice. Reward: “Advanced Slacking Gift Pack.” Open it?】
