The Only Normal Human In The Universe Chapter 148

An Yan smiled and nodded, “I saw your names. Congratulations. ”

Cheng Yang took advantage of his big brother’s inattention to reach out and take An Yan’s arm. They walked towards the airship while chattering, “You don’t know how we managed to qualify this time! I was almost scared to death during the competition. I thought we would be finished for sure! ”

An Yan gave a particularly cooperative expression of curiosity and asked, “Did something happen during the competition?”

Cheng Yang gulped and said, “I’ll tell you….”

Half an hour before the rules were temporarily changed, Cheng Yang and Gu Qing’s plan was to sneak into a secluded place and stay there until the end.

The rules at the time allowed them to do so. They did not need to eliminate any contestants and would advance as long as they survived to the end of the round.

As a matter of fact, they did find a very secluded place and stayed there for a long time. Cheng Yang was quite happy to see the number of contestants left on the field getting smaller. He was optimistic that they might make it to the end of the competition.

However, a new rule was born at that moment.

There were suddenly only ten minutes left in the competition, and the points system was re-opened. It was clear that they would not be able to get away by hiding.

Cheng Yang’s expression changed: “It’s over. What are we going to do now?”

Cheng Yang was not completely idle during the time they were waiting things out; he had made a lot of spiritual recovery potions just in case.

However, he was not very good at making potions and his failure rate was high. It took him a long time to make them, so he had only made a few dozen potions in total, all of low quality.

To be honest, Cheng Yang himself knew that such potions would hardly be of any use in this round. It was a battle of spiritual power, so how could your opponent allow you to take spiritual recovery potions during the battle?

So Cheng Yang was dumbfounded when he heard this new rule.

Gu Qing looked calm. He first reassured him, after a moment of silence, “Don’t be anxious. This is just the beginning of a new round for us. There will be a way out. ”

However, Cheng Yang was restless. He was very clear on his level, but he was unable to think of a way to advance successfully.

Although he was prepared to be eliminated at any time, he was reluctant when the moment came.

However, emotions were unnecessary, and reality had to be accepted as soon as possible. Cheng Yang was sad for a while and couldn’t help sighing. He was about to sadly accept this cruel fact when he heard Gu Qing speak seriously, “Whether it was the previous or the new rules, there was ever a suggestion as to who should make the potions, right?”

“Huh?” Cheng Yang was a little confused. It took a moment for him to react to Gu Qing’s words.

Although everyone defaulted to the mentality that the mecha warrior would fight while the pharmacist assisted in making the potions, the rules did not specify this point.

Cheng Yang was a little unsure, “You mean you want you to make the potions?”

Gu Qing nodded affirmatively, “Well, the rules don’t refuse it.”

That was what he said, but in the previous tournaments, including his daily interactions, Gu Qing had never revealed that he could even make potions.

Of course, Cheng Yang did not care about this. He thought Gu Qing wanted to take the blame for being eliminated.

It was not surprising that Cheng Yang would think so. After all, the role of the pharmacist was very important in this round. If they were really eliminated, the blame would definitely be on Cheng Yang. However, if Gu Qing made the potions, the blame would fall on him instead.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yang shook his head repeatedly, “No. It’s fine even if we lose. We’ve already had fun in the competition anyway. It’s better that I make the potions myself.

Gu Qing shook his head firmly. He gave Cheng Yang a dark look and said, “Let me try. I have an interest in making potions, and my level should be okay.”

Gu Qing

looked serious and determined, and it made him realize that the latter didn’t bring up this suggestion just to carry the pot. So he hesitantly agreed, “Let’s try it then.”

Anyway, their corner was still safe, and there shouldn’t be any other contestants passing through there for the time being.

Gu Qing began to make his first potion in the competition, while Cheng Yang watched with a serious expression on the side.

Although he was not a great pharmacist, he had always had an interest in making potions and had been in contact with them for a long time. In addition, he was a pharmacy major, so he was surprised to see that not only was Gu Qing’s potion making technique very skillful, but the time it took to make the potion was also much shorter than his. Cheng Yang was even more surprised when the potion was finished.

“It’s actually an A-grade Spiritual Recovery Potion?!” Cheng Yang’s words were purely an expression of amazement and did not mean anything else.

However, Gu Qing slightly hooked up the corners of his lips at the slight hint of praise. He softened his voice and said, “The effect of this spiritual recovery potion should not be bad. So can Yang Yang hand the task of making spiritual power potions to me? ”

Cheng Yang only had strong admiration in his eyes. When he compared his potions to the spiritual recovery potion in Gu Qing’s hand, he did not raise any further objection, “Then it will be hard on you!”

It was indeed going to be tough. Not only were Cheng Yang’s potion making skills low, but his combat ability was also very weak. So Gu Qing had to take on two roles in the next 10 minutes: being responsible for making potions and fighting at the same time.

Cheng Yang felt remorseful and guilty, but there was nothing he could do. He was so unskilled in all aspects of the game that he could only rely on such a powerful teammate.

The only thing he could do now was to try to take care of himself and not hold his teammate back.

Although Gu Qing’s potion making skills had surprised Cheng Yang, the rest of the competition would still be very taxing for them. There were less than ten minutes to spare, and there was no telling how many points they could get.

It would mean immediate elimination if they met a formidable opponent right at the start.

But even though he was worried, Cheng Yang didn’t show it. Instead, he kept praising Gu Qing for being so good at controlling the mecha and making potions.

Gu Qing’s face turned red at the compliments, and the tips of his ears were even redder, but his heart felt sweet.

He originally proposed the idea because he did not want Cheng Yang to be eliminated. He thought that they could at least give it a shot.

But after being praised like this, Gu Qing had a lot more confidence in his heart. He felt that he had to let Cheng Yang advance to the next level no matter what.

With such determination, the two surprisingly managed to eliminate their first, second, and third opponents.

But it didn’t go well when it came to the seventh opponent. Gu Qing had to do the work of two people, and with the successive fierce battles, his energy, even though high, was pretty much worn out.

He could imagine how dangerous the situation would be now that they had encountered a formidable enemy at this time.

Cheng Yang was watching anxiously, but there was nothing he could do to help. He was secretly cheering for Gu Qing when he saw the latter suddenly appear in front of him, “Yang Yang, drink all the potions you made earlier!”

Cheng Yang was stunned. He didn’t have time to ask Gu Qing why he had to, and he simply drank all the potions.

Although they were all very ordinary spiritual recovery potions, the effect was obvious when dozens of bottles were drunk together, and Cheng Yang felt a rise in his spiritual domain. He didn’t feel uncomfortable, but rather felt a satisfaction that rose after eating.

Before he had time to experience this wonderful feeling, he heard Gu Qing say, “Use all your spiritual power to make a barrier in front of me.”

Cheng Yang had not received much training in spiritual power, so his control was naturally not as good as that of a mecha warrior. But he was not completely ignorant, as making potions also required the use of spiritual power.

He immediately and clumsily mobilized his spiritual power and moved all of it in front of Gu Qing.

This was when the benefit of teaming up could be seen. Although they were battling a formidable opponent this time, their opponent was alone, so Cheng Yang was not worried about anyone getting in his way.

The opponent realized this as well, but he was the one who chose to sign up alone. So there was nothing to complain about or blame. He could only try his best to finish off his opponent.

But this round was a battle of spiritual power attrition, and the two sides were considered equal in strength, otherwise they wouldn’t have fought for so long. With Cheng Yang’s sudden intervation, not only did he indirectly help Gu Qing to save a lot of his spiritual power, but he also disrupted his opponent’s rhythm.

Gu Qing used the protection of this spiritual power to deliver a strike, finally eliminating his opponent.

It was also at this point that the ten minutes ended with the electronic tone sounding.

Cheng Yang was uncertain when they were teleported out of the competition map. Although they had persevered to the end of the tournament and tried their best to get as many points as possible, they still faced the risk of being eliminated.

After all, only a hundred people would advance to the offline competition, and the rest would be eliminated even if they managed to make it to the end.

With such worries, Cheng Yang stared at the list of qualifiers one by one, and the further he went, the colder his heart felt.

He was about to give up when he suddenly saw their names, and Cheng Yang jumped up in surprise, hugging Gu Qing, “We made it!”

Gu Qing allowed Cheng Yang to hug him and a gentle, relaxed smile appeared on his face, “Mmm.”
