Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 45 My incompetent sister can't protect anything.

Gu Xintong stood to the side, and then gently pursed her lips.

Her gaze didn't meet anyone's; she spoke softly, as if talking to herself:

"You two shouldn't just focus on Zhang Qingzhe! If he transfers points to both of you at the same time, won't his ranking drop?"

Gu Xintong says she hates "witches," but in reality, her personality is very similar to that of a "witch."

He spoke his mind directly, which made everyone a little embarrassed.

Gu Xintong gave a cold laugh and, using the tactic of shifting blame, said:

"Don't forget, isn't the second-ranked student also from your class?"

In fact, Gu Xintong is right.

Ideally, Zhang Qingzhe would transfer the card to one person, and Zhou Keming would transfer it to another person.

This way, neither student's score will decrease too much, and both students can advance.

But Zhou Keming crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and turned his head away, acting as if it were none of his business.

The two eliminated students immediately understood when they saw his indifferent expression:

Zhou Keming is too selfish; he definitely won't transfer his points.

Therefore, their only hope is still Zhang Qingzhe.

Xia Qiwei also looked somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

Although she was the class's tutor, she couldn't force Zhou Keming to transfer his points.

Kang Ping, who was not far away, saw this scene from afar, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, as if he had found another opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.

He tiptoed over, about to utter a few sarcastic remarks—

But then Zhang Qingzhe's calm voice rang out: "It's alright, I can transfer the points to them."

Xia Qiwei's beautiful eyes widened.

She didn't expect Zhang Qingzhe to agree so readily, and even felt that this student had sacrificed too much for the class.

So, she reminded him somewhat embarrassedly:

"In that case, your overall ranking in the school might drop significantly... Is that alright?"

"Oh! I don't care about that."

Zhang Qingzhe smiled, looking very relaxed. "I'm not interested in rankings."

This is Zhang Qingzhe's honest opinion; his only interest lies in new knowledge.

So transferring a few points is no big deal; it's also a good way to repay Xia Qiwei's favor.

Hearing this, Xia Qiwei breathed a long sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but feel grateful for Zhang Qingzhe's spirit of sacrifice, which put the greater good first.

She turned to look at the two students and said in a serious tone:

"You two should thank them properly, understand?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The two students immediately rushed over, their faces filled with gratitude and relief.

"Brother Zhe! Thank you so much!"

"Brother Zhe! I can't thank you enough, I... I wish to become your godfather!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhe, just tell us what you want! We're willing to pay you in return!"

Zhang Qingzhe smiled and waved his hand, his tone gentle and frank:

"We're all classmates, so you could say we're friends. There's no need to talk about material rewards when friends help each other."

Zhang Qingzhe, being a time traveler, was more mature than his classmates.

Although he doesn't like social niceties, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the intricacies of them.

Since we're doing a favor today, we should do it well.

Since you have already agreed to transfer the points, you should fully demonstrate this "selflessness" in front of your classmates and professors.

As for the so-called economic returns... he actually doesn't care about that little bit of money.

He casually made a few cards and asked Wang Dong to help him sell them, which earned him more pocket money than his classmates.

Kang Ping was about to speak when he suddenly frowned.

Those unpleasant words that were stuck in my throat were now like a fishbone stuck in my throat, firmly lodged there.

I can't spit it out, and I can't swallow it down.

His face flushed red and then turned pale, and in the end, he could only turn away dejectedly.

Xia Qiwei glanced at Kang Ping and couldn't help but smile smugly again.

She looked at Zhang Qingzhe again and saw him surrounded by his classmates in the center.

I feel like my investment in card packs was worthwhile; I definitely need to take this kid on as an apprentice.

-----------------

Zhang Qingzhe pushed open the door and saw blind boxes all over the floor; clearly, his sister had gone on another spending spree.

My younger sister slumped on the sofa like a salted fish, looking completely exhausted.

"What are you doing now?"

Zhang Qingzhe sighed helplessly, put the shopping bag on the table, and bent down to start cleaning up the pile of trash.

My sister opened quite a few cards today.

Besides the most common blank cards, there are even some with lingerie designs.

Curious, Zhang Qingzhe drew out a card and tried to inject a trace of magic essence into it.

Swish!

A pair of semi-transparent lace panties floated lightly out and gently landed in his palm.

Zhang Qingzhe subconsciously pinched it and discovered that the design was quite daring, with an opening at the bottom.

"Brother! What are you doing!"

My sister seemed to wake up suddenly, and rushed over in a panic, snatching the underwear back.

"What's your hurry?" Zhang Qingzhe said calmly, "It's not like it's been worn before."

"No, that won't do either!"

Looking at his younger sister's sundress, Zhang Qingzhe frowned, but ultimately couldn't help asking:

"What you're wearing under your skirt right now... isn't that this kind of thing, is it?"

"Brother! What are you thinking!" The younger sister was both embarrassed and angry, her face instantly turning red. "Of course I'm wearing a school uniform!"

"Oh." Zhang Qingzhe nodded, then a new question arose, "Then why did you open these blind boxes containing 'underwear cards'?"

"This isn't something I wanted to do!" the younger sister pouted and explained. "The cards in the blind boxes are completely random. Even the manufacturer doesn't know what's inside."

"No way? Weren't they assembled on the assembly line?"

No.

The younger sister shook her head and explained, "The machine that produces blind boxes is itself a large 'blind box.' The outer box and the inner card are formed as a single piece. No instrument can detect what's inside."

"I can't believe such a thing exists..."

Zhang Qingzhe was somewhat surprised!

It seems there are still many things in this magical world that are incomprehensible.

"If you ask me, you should give up sooner rather than later."

As Zhang Qingzhe stuffed the clutter into a garbage bag, he said, "I don't think you're suited for the [Prophecy School] at all."

"Ugh! Stop discouraging your sister's dreams!"

The younger sister unfolded the bra in her hand and noticed the sensitive area below, where there was indeed a daring opening. She was so embarrassed that her face was practically dripping with embarrassment.

But she couldn't resist and secretly gestured at her waist.

Then, she asked instinctively, "Brother... do you like this kind of thing?"

"Hmm? What do you like?"

"...N-nothing."

The younger sister's gaze wandered aimlessly before she suddenly spotted her brother's lower back.

"Brother, what's that hanging around your waist?" The younger sister's pupils suddenly dilated.

"this?"

Zhang Qingzhe took out a card pack from his waist and handed it over, saying, "This is the reward I received today."

As a witch, my younger sister clearly knows her stuff.

"This card pack... is super rare!"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Someone else got the same item from a blind box, although it was a little lower quality than this one, but it still sold for over a million!"

"Oh, it really is that expensive."

Gu Xintong already introduced it when we were at school today.

Therefore, Zhang Qingzhe's reaction at this moment was relatively calm.

His younger sister looked at him suspiciously, then pressed, "Where did you get this from?"

"Didn't I just say it was a reward?"

So Zhang Qingzhe gave a general account of what had happened that day.

Upon hearing this, the younger sister immediately became worried:

"What the hell! I bet that 'Great Witch' is up to no good!"

"Don't say that. I think Professor Xia is a nice person."

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to be grateful, and he who takes another's money is bound to be obliging."

After receiving this generous gift, Zhang Qingzhe's impression of Xia Qiwei did indeed change considerably.

"Bro! When did you become a gold digger?"

His younger sister glared at him unhappily, her face showing a look of disappointment and frustration.

It's like a lifelong, honest father seeing his daughter become an escort for money and feeling heartbroken.

"Did you agree to be her apprentice?" the younger sister asked again.

Not yet.

"What do you mean 'temporarily'?! You're clearly smitten, aren't you? Wake up, bro! Those 'big witches' are no good!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll be careful."

Zhang Qingzhe gave a perfunctory reply, picked up an apron, and went into the kitchen.

My sister suddenly felt very sad.

It was as if she could see her brother about to leave her, to be kidnapped by that rich and beautiful "Great Witch".

She looked down at the bra in her hand again, hesitating whether to wear it tonight as her "decisive bra" for a final, desperate gamble.

My younger sister tossed and turned on the sofa like a restless big worm.

She thought about it carefully for a while and finally came to the conclusion that she was too weak.

It must be because I didn't do enough and failed to give my brother enough security that he wanted to "cheat".

I'm just a useless little sister!

I can't protect anything!

Therefore, the most urgent task is to improve our strength as soon as possible.

If I could become the "Great Witch" sooner, my brother wouldn't have to be someone else's "private possession".

"Brother—do you have any plans for the weekend?"
