Chapter 21: The Calm Lin Qi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hahaha!”

As the mocking laughter echoed in the halls, Lin Qi’s expression did not change at all. To him, he did not care. He had no control over others so they could laugh if they wanted to.

“Are you done laughing? If you are, then get lost. I’m still waiting to get a room!”

Lin Qi’s calm and casual words caused the laughter of the group to gradually quieten down.

The young man who provoked him was called Chen Lin, a fire mage from Storm City. With his talent and the guidance of a renowned teacher, he was an intermediate-level mage. He was way ahead of his peers.

With such a gap, he looked down on everyone, especially those who had no foundation in magic.

Along the way, he had defeated many opponents and constantly mocked people Lin Qi.

However, that was the first time he was refuted.

“What did you say?”

Lin Qi was well aware of the rules in the Black Wind Castle. Chen Lin could not do anything to him, so he continued, “I said, your magic staff is blocking my way!”

“You!”

Chen Lin’s temper flared up. He raised his magic staff and was about to teach Lin Qi a lesson when he suddenly stopped.

Luther, who was standing next to Lin Qi, gave off a strong aura. That aura was only possessed by grand swordmasters.

However, intermediate-level mages were not afraid of grand swordmasters at all. What made Chen Lin stop before attacking was actually the rules of Black Wind Castle.

If there was a fight within the Black Wind Castle, those involved would be expelled from the city.

He managed to restrain himself and said to Lin Qi, “Kid, don’t be so arrogant. Let me tell you, I don’t dare to do anything to you in the Black Wind Castle, but you will have to leave sooner or later!”

“Let’s see what happens when the time comes then!” Lin Qi said indifferently and then walked past him. He said to the clerk, “Give me a single room.”

Everyone in the hall was stunned. They all knew of Chen Lin’s strength, especially as he was a fire mage. Whether it was his magic or his lethality, he was extremely powerful. Therefore, the participants did not dare to offend him, some even took the initiative to suck up to him and let him lead them through the trial safely.

However, Lin Qi’s arrogance toward Chen Lin was something they never imagined. They all knew that Lin Qi was the weakest among the participants, while Chen Lin was the strongest. There was clearly a huge gap between their levels but if that is so, why would Lin Qi speak to him like that?

The situation was puzzling, and only Lin Qi himself understood it.

Chen Lin stood rooted to the ground, staring at Lin Qi. At that moment, he was extremely furious. He just wanted to ridicule that loser, but he had not expected that piece of trash would turn around and ignore him.

If it was not for the rules of the Black Wind Castle, he would have long burned his clothes and made a fool out of him in public.

Lin Qi walked away slowly, not even bothering to look at Chen Lin.

“Lin Qi looks like you’re in trouble!”

The next moment, Yu Meng said that to him.

“What trouble?”

“Do you know who that guy was?”

“I don’t, but what I do know is that he’s an uneducated pest!”

Yu Meng sighed helplessly, lamenting Lin Qi’s ignorance.

“Sigh, he’s the young master of the Chen family of Storm City. He’s the future Supreme Mage that millions of people have high hopes for!”

“Oh? That sounds awesome!” Lin Qi said casually as if he did not take it seriously at all.

Lewis also walked over and said, “The Chen family of Storm City has some grudges against the Lin family. That’s why Chen Lin took the initiative to make things difficult for you.”

“He doesn’t dare to touch you in the Black Wind Castle, but we’ll have to leave sooner or later. When that time comes, he’ll definitely bother you once more. Let me make it clear. Although you saved us last time, we really can’t handle someone like him so don’t provoke him!”

Although Lin Qi had no talent in magic, he had the system, so he was not very concerned about that matter. After all, Chen Lin was only an intermediate-level mage.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”

Lin Qi’s words made Yu Meng and Lewis suspicious again. After the previous incidents, they understood that Lin Qi was not bluffing. If he said that it was not a big problem, then he was confident in his words.

Nevertheless, he was not even a mage, how could he deal with it?

Even if he had Luther, the grand swordmaster, to help him, he could not be a match for an intermediate-level mage.

‘Could it be…’

Lewis narrowed his eyes and quickly thought that it was very likely that Lin Qi still had a lot of Enhancement Candies in his collection.

Yu Meng thought the same. She regarded Lin Qi as her opponent, but he had saved her time and time again. She was feeling extremely conflicted.

Yu Meng had actually hoped that something would happen to Lin Qi so she could repay the favor she owed him last time.

After that, they went back to their rooms to rest. The first thing that Lin Qi did when he returned to his room was to open the system and look at the experience points that he had accumulated over the past few days.

The method to upgrade the gourmet system was actually very simple. It was to continuously use the ingredients to cook dishes, and after it was done, he would gain experience points.

Based on the cooking he did for the past few days, the gourmet system was about to level up to level three. After level three, the food that would be unlocked would have the capabilities to aid him in battle. That was the greatest improvement for him, who was unarmed.

Lin Qi laid on the bed and fell asleep while checking the system.

When he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.

After he got up and washed, he took out the Magic Sweet Potato from the system and ate it as he headed downstairs.

When he came to the hall, he saw that Yu Meng, Lewis, and Luther had already gathered there a long time ago.

That was because today was the day that all the trial participants would be arriving at the Black Wind Castle.

Among them, the first ones to arrive were naturally the participants from Storm City. They relied on Chen Lin, a destructive mage, to breeze through the trial. On the other hand, New Moon City, which was represented by Lin Qi, arrived on the second to last day. They arrived three days later and it could be seen that the difference in strength was huge.

Meanwhile, the rest of the participants from other areas also gathered at the Central Hotel. They looked at each other as if they were enemies.

Lin Qi was puzzled and asked with a bitter smile, “Why do they look at us as if we’re enemies? Shouldn’t they just focus on the trial?”

“Hehe, you don’t understand. No one wants others to be better than them, and it’s the same for the trial. Everyone wants to lower the score of the other party so that they can appear to be better than others!”

“Moreover, these candidates are all arrogant nobles who value rankings more than anyone else.”

Listening to the analysis of Lewis and Yu Meng, Lin Qi felt that it was very strange.

‘Everyone had come to participate in the trial, so why should they make things difficult for each other? Wasn’t this the same as being cheap?’

Just as he shook his head, a huge figure suddenly entered his line of sight.

“Whoa! So big!”
