The Evil Dragon Only Wants to Survive (Lily ABO) - Chapter 7

You can teach all you want, but I’ll lose if I learn anything.

As the college entrance exams drew closer, Mo Beiyi’s mindset became more relaxed. Though her mind still had a lot of strange thoughts whenever she was around Gu Xiyi.

The more Gu Xiyi looked at her with a disappointed expression, the more at ease Mo Beiyi felt.

Mo Beiyi had already planned out her future.

She would pick the furthest university, find a job that paid just enough to get by after graduation, and give half-hearted greetings to old man Gu and Gu Xiyi during the holidays. She’d find an excuse not to come back and wait five or six years until she was fully mature. After that, she would be unstoppable in the universe, wouldn’t she?

As long as she avoided the plot, she wouldn’t die because of the plot. As long as she was still alive, she was living.

As for the female lead… Mo Beiyi believed she could take care of herself. After spending two months with her, she realized Gu Xiyi was probably not the damsel-in-distress the novel described. Mo Beiyi hadn’t forgotten that she had followed Gu Xiyi to Black Street out of curiosity and saw how she scolded her subordinates.

The way she carried herself, her demeanor, she was fierce.

And recently, there had been several large protests and demonstrations in the capital, which even forced the Imperial government to back down a few times. Mo Beiyi was sure Gu Xiyi had a hand in it.

As for the plot… ever since the last incident, the housekeeper had taught Gu Xiyi several self-defense techniques and gave her a gun. The female lead was a quick study. Gu Xiyi could probably take her on now, let alone with a gun. Her marksmanship was so good it would be a shame if she didn’t win a shooting competition.

She believed those big-shot Alpha men probably couldn’t harm Gu Xiyi, but if the plot’s power was irresistible… then there was nothing she could do.

It was fate.

Going against fate would shorten her lifespan!

In any case, Mo Beiyi didn’t want to be that unlucky villain.

The moment she walked out of the exam hall, Mo Beiyi felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if she saw a bright future waving at her.

She couldn’t wait to go eat a big meal to celebrate.

But she couldn’t leave yet. The teacher said there would be a mental power test after the exam.

Mo Beiyi was very curious about this mental power test. She heard that mental power was related to mechs, and a few mechs would be there for the students to see. As a modern person, Mo Beiyi was incredibly curious about these ultimate single-man machines that she had only seen on TV.

But the book didn’t mention Mo Beiyi’s mental power level because this part of the plot wasn’t in it.

Mo Beiyi didn’t think about it anymore and followed her class to the sports field under the teacher’s lead.

She finally saw the so-called mechs.

Several mechs with different styles and appearances descended from the sky, immediately sparking a heated discussion among the students.

The special metal outer shells shimmered in the sunlight, and Mo Beiyi couldn’t take her eyes off them.

After the students had enough time to admire them, the teacher announced the start of the mental power test.

The test was simple: put on a special helmet and synchronize with the mech. The higher the synchronization rate, the higher the level.

The mechs used for synchronization were the ones that had just descended from the sky.

This meant that the higher your mental power level, the more likely you were to get to pilot one of those cool mechs in the future?

The students, who were tired from the exams, were once again filled with excitement.

But Mo Beiyi keenly sensed something ominous. She had clearly heard the teacher say that if her mental power reached S-level, she could be directly admitted to Caelorot University as a special recruit.

Is it too late to run away now? Mo Beiyi looked at the armed soldiers around the sports field and decided the chance of her escaping was far lower than the chance of her being shot to death.

••••

Even in the car, Gu Xiyi was still in a state of disbelief.

She hadn’t expected that after two months of trying to teach someone who wasn’t listening, this “cow” was actually an S-level genius! She glanced at Mo Beiyi, who still seemed to be daydreaming, probably overjoyed.

This meant that the special arrangements she had prepared in case Mo Beiyi couldn’t get into a university on the Imperial Star could be canceled.

The housekeeper was also overjoyed. She knew the two children General Gu picked up were extraordinary, but she never expected both of them to have S-level mental power. Now, the two young masters could continue going to school together.

“I have good news for you. General Gu has approved the application. You can go to him in two days. Remember to be careful.”

The Empire and the Federation had constant conflicts in recent years. The Empire valued its military, which led many people to want to join the army. Even nobles wanted to join to gain military honors for their families. So, some officers would arrange for their children to be “private guards” during a ceasefire. This was a way for them to get familiar with army life and make a good impression, paving the way for their future military careers.

So why was there such a ridiculous setting? In Mo Beiyi’s opinion, sending a group of untrained children to the front lines was just asking for them to get killed.

Now, she was one of those people.

Whatever. I’ll just go and see the female lead’s favorite Alpha, Jiang Yibai, the future general of the Federation and the only tragic ending in the female lead’s story.

Yes, this absurd setting was created so the female lead and Jiang Yibai could meet and fall in love.

Although Jiang Yibai was an Alpha, she didn’t look down on Omegas and Betas like other Alphas. She even treated them as equals. Despite being from a humble background, Jiang Yibai entered the Federation’s top university with a near-perfect score on her college entrance exam and S-level mental power. She excelled in school, was at the top of her class every year, and was an expert in mech modification and piloting. She also had a high talent for command, rising to the position of Federation general at a young age.

This was a protagonist’s background!

Unfortunately, the two were on opposite sides, which meant they were destined for a tragic ending. With the appearance of the Zerg, Jiang Yibai had to go to the far-off Federation border to fight them, and she lost contact with the female lead. The two never saw each other again.

When Mo Beiyi first read the novel, she even shed two crocodile tears over this storyline.

Now, she was going to have a VIP seat to watch their romance unfold.
