Chapter 39: Super Cheat, Committing Crimes Against the Wind (2/2)

She winked at her teammates: “I think we can go. Might as well earn some… I mean, might as well meet these geniuses from the Provincial Academy.”

Lin Mingxi: “…”

Jiang Qingyu: “…..”

Don’t think they don’t know you’re in it for the 500,000 credits!

Su Fu cleared her throat and replied to Pi Chu Xi with a serious tone:

“No problem, no problem…”

“We’re all candidates from District 12. Of course, we should help each other in times like this. Don’t worry…”

Before Su Fu could finish, the voices of the Provincial Academy candidates suddenly came through from Pi Chu Xi’s side.

“Damn it, where are these losers hiding?”

“Whatever, I know you can hear me!”

“Su Fu! Is Su Fu there?”

“That one who used a pheasant to blow up the exam hall! Come on out and show us your pheasant!”

“Our boss said if you perform well, he might spare your life!”

Pi Chu Xi immediately felt a cold sweat break out on his back, his scalp tingling intensely.

Damn it, these people really have a death wish!

How dare they talk to Su Fu like that?!

What pheasant?

That was a phoenix!

These people actually insulted Su Fu’s phoenix as a pheasant?!

They’re practically begging for death!

Pi Chu Xi was so nervous he didn’t even dare to breathe, afraid Su Fu would take her anger out on him.

He screamed internally: “Oh god, save me! Save me!”

But the communication talisman was eerily silent.

It’s over, it’s over.

Just as he felt like he was about to suffocate, Su Fu’s cold laugh came through:

“Wait for it.”

“I’ll be there soon!”

“Dare to mess with District 12? We’ll crush them!”

Pi Chu Xi shakily cut off the talisman communication, his hands still trembling slightly.

“She… she agreed. Everyone fell silent, but the atmosphere was a bit subtly tense. After a long while, Ming Yue Shuang cautiously spoke up: “Um… why do I feel a bit nervous?”

“Huh?” Klaus was puzzled.

“Are you worried Su Fu can’t handle the Provincial Academy candidates?”

“No…” Ming Yue Shuang swallowed hard.

“I’m afraid when she gets here, her anger might spill over onto us.”

Everyone: “…”

That does seem likely.

Hearing Su Fu’s voice again, their first reaction wasn’t doubting whether she could defeat the Provincial Academy candidates, but worrying if that lunatic might just take them out along the way.

At this moment, Asuka Amakawa, who was usually cold and reticent, suddenly spoke up, her voice as calm as ever: “She won’t.”

She paused, “She’s waiting for us to pay, so she won’t make a move against us.”

Zhou Tinlin couldn’t help but exclaim, “Su Fu, look at what your reputation has become!”

“Even little Xiangxiang knows you’re obsessed with money!”

Asuka Amakawa:”….”

“Screw your ‘little Xiangxiang’!”

But after hearing this explanation, everyone actually felt a strange sense of relief.

Others might not, but Su Fu-she really might do it!

It’s just that while others’ credibility is based on character, hers is based on… a love for money?

Well, I guess that’s a form of credibility in its own way.

At the entrance of Area 3 of the prison, the members of the fourth squad were idly waiting.

While some enjoy peace, others must bear the burden.

As time passed, other candidates from the provincial academy also arrived.

They directly grabbed a group of people to use as labor, tasked with testing the rules of the area while they themselves waited leisurely.

No one dared to refuse it would literally mean death, in the realest sense.

“Hey hey hey~ Su Fu? Come out! Where’s your pheasant?”

No response.

Leanna shouted exaggeratedly, her voice echoing throughout the area.

“Tch, what a coward,” Leanna sneered, a flash of disdain in her blood-red eyes.

“The entire twelfth district is full of cowards.”

Ichiro Toyotomi lazily leaned against the wall, toying with a miniature sun in his hand and said:

“If the so-called top three are this weak, how strong can she possibly be?”

Xiao Bai stood at the forefront, his gaze coldly fixed ahead.

All this taunting and humiliation was meant to provoke the opponent, force them to reveal themselves, and gauge their strength.

But… it’s been so long, and still no sign of her?

Just then, Osiris appeared beside Xiao Bai and said:

“Captain, those people have tested the entire area. The Wardens are all in a dormant state-it seems to be the rule’s power, so they pose no threat.”

“The six who fled are probably hiding in the deepest coffin.”

Though the power of death couldn’t detect them, it didn’t mean he had lost his mind.

Thomas, holding Mjolnir, let out a disdainful snort: “These trash have really dug their own graves.”

“Captain, let’s not wait any longer, just go in!”

“This is such a waste of our time!”

The fourth squad of the provincial academy, ranked within the top twenty in the province, now had to waste time in a place like this, dealing with a bunch of cowards who didn’t even dare to face the Wardens head-on?

Ridiculous!

Xiao Bai coldly scanned the area.

It seemed that Su Fu was either already dead in the exam hall or a complete coward.

In either case, she wasn’t worth fearing.

Indeed, it wasn’t worth wasting any more time.

“Since that’s the case,” Xiao Bai’s indifferent voice rang out, “kill them all, leave none alive.”

“Got it!”

As soon as the words fell, Leanna excitedly licked her lips: “Finally, we can have some fun~”

The other candidates, who had been forced to search, now rushed into the hall like cats catching the scent of prey, eagerly looking for hidden targets.

The fourth squad, however, walked in unhurriedly, bringing up the rear.

“Let’s leave these useless people from District Twelve to them,” Thomas said, carrying Thor’s Hammer, his gaze falling on the neatly arranged bronze coffins around him.

“Hehe, this is our target!”

Although the exam papers had been merged, the grading criteria hadn’t changed.

Eliminating anomalies was the real task!

With that, Thomas raised Thor’s Hammer high, ready to unleash carnage.

But just then-

“Creak.”

A chilling sound of metal grinding suddenly echoed.

Followed by a second, then a third….

“Something’s wrong!” Ichiro shouted, “The Wardens… they’re moving!”

Throughout the hall, dozens of bronze coffins began to tremble simultaneously, and a thicker, eerie green mist seeped out from them.

The Wardens, who had been in deep slumber, were now slowly rising in a bizarre manner.

“How is this possible?!” A passing examinee was terrified by the commotion, “Weren’t they supposed to be asleep? How could the rules suddenly change?!”

“Bang!”

The response was the sound of the rule chains shattering.

The Wardens had awakened and were now attacking!

The chains shot straight towards the examinee, who immediately turned and fled.

The chain lashed the ground, leaving a deep crack.

In the blink of an eye, all the Wardens in the hall began to move.

They swung their chains, emitting piercing shrieks as they pounced on the examinees around them.

“Damn it!” Thomas gritted his teeth, “This doesn’t make sense! The rules can’t just change like this!”

But there was no time to think.

The Wardens had already launched their attack.

“Coordinate the attack now!” Xiao Bai commanded immediately.

Instantly, all the examinees reflexively formed small teams of three.

Despite the chaos, their usual rigorous training paid off.

Teams quickly formed, each managing to hold off a Warden, engaging in a back- and-forth battle.

But this wasn’t a sustainable solution.

Prolonged combat was unwise.

Xiao Bai’s eyes sharpened:

“Retreat now!”

He barked the order, but it was already too late.

Almost the moment everyone turned, the bronze doors of the hall slammed shut, sealing off the entire area.

An examinee immediately rushed to strike the barrier, only to be thrown back by the rebounding force.

“Damn it! What’s going on?!” Thomas clenched his teeth, Thor’s Hammer striking the barrier but leaving it unscathed.

Indeed, Xiao Bai’s eyes narrowed, realizing the rules had changed.

Just then, someone suddenly asked, “Wait… what about those people from District Twelve who were hiding here?”

Everyone immediately realized, yes, the first to suffer after the Wardens awakened should have been those hiding in the coffins.

But why hadn’t they been seen yet?

“Something’s not right… it’s all wrong…” Ichiro Toyotomi squinted, his expression turning grave, “The behavior of these Wardens, the sudden closing of the doors…”

“Ghosts!”

He looked at Xiao Bai, who slowly nodded, his expression serious, “It’s the Enforcers!”

At these words, the faces of all the provincial academy examinees changed.

“Damn it…” Thomas tightened his grip on Thor’s Hammer, “No wonder the Wardens suddenly started moving. It was the Enforcers all along!”

“But that doesn’t make sense!” Leanna’s crimson pupils contracted, “Exam A was only supposed to have Wardens! Why are there Enforcers?!”

Xiao Bai frowned tightly: “There are many possibilities. Perhaps they came from Volume B, or maybe they were temporarily promoted, or…”

But the most important thing was that there was an Enforcer here.

Enforcers were extremely troublesome, capable of altering regional rules through the Rule Codex in their hands.

When they were in Volume B, they had paid a considerable price to kill just one, which was why their Fourth Squad was sent to clean up Volume A.

And now… there was one here too?

“Damn it,” Ichiro suddenly realized something, “if it really is an Enforcer, then these rule changes mean it’s targeting us.”

The expressions of everyone turned grim, as the fear of being dominated by an Enforcer resurfaced.

“What do we do now?”

“Why are we so unlucky!”

“Where are the people from District Twelve? Get out here!”

“If it weren’t for chasing you, I wouldn’t have been targeted by the Enforcer!”

Rewind to three minutes earlier.

Su Fu was originally planning to head to Zone 3 to deal with the provincial academy candidates, but she found a more convenient method.

She was now an Enforcer and could alter the rules of Zone 3 through the Rule Codex in her hands!

“Excellent, as expected of a high-ranking Enforcer! These privileges are great!”

She quickly formulated a plan, opened the Codex, and golden light flowed between the pages.

The usage of the Codex soon appeared in her mind.

She could modify the rules, but the changes had to be approved by the Codex.

Su Fu thought it was no big deal, “This is easy!”

Isn’t it just exploiting a bug?

She knew how to do that!

[Rule One: When the number of candidates in the zone exceeds six, the dormant Guardian will awaken.]

“After all, the exam zones have merged, and the original rule chains have been removed. The Guardian can’t just keep sleeping, right? This modification is reasonable, isn’t it?”

Sure enough, a golden light shimmered on the Codex, and the words gradually solidified on its pages.

The Codex approved!

[Rule Two: After the Guardian awakens, candidates must defeat all Wardens to leave the zone.]

“Tsk tsk, you woke them up and now you want to just leave? That’s too rude.”

Su Fu put on a look of deep concern, “As a law-abiding student, how can I let you ignore the rules like this?”

The Codex flashed with golden light again-approved!

[Rule Three: When a Guardian is defeated, the Enforcer will personally arrive to adjudicate.]

“You defeated my subordinate, so as the boss, shouldn’t I come and see?” Su Fu nodded seriously, “I think it’s very reasonable. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a failure of management?”

The Codex lit up with golden light for the third time, all approved!

“Zone 3, rule modifications take effect!”

Golden light burst from the Codex, instantly enveloping the entire space.

The original rules were rewritten, and the new rules began to take effect.

Su Fu closed the Codex and revealed a meaningful smile.

“Since you’re so eager to take the exam…” she said cheerfully, “then take it to your heart’s content.”

Dare to call her phoenix a chicken?

Absolutely intolerable!

She would hunt them down no matter how far they fled!

Jiang Qingyu shivered inwardly, tsk tsk tsk, offending Su Fu really led to no good end.

Lin Mingxi immediately started flattering, giving two thumbs up with a look of admiration:

“Boss, you’re truly amazing!”

“They wanted to challenge you one-on-one, but you changed the rules, making them fight a bunch of Wardens first, and then face you in your Enforcer form…”

“I can’t even imagine how desperate they must feel!”

Meanwhile, inside the coffin in Area 3 when the Codex rules took effect.

“Crack=”

When the first coffin began to shake, Pi Chu Xi thought he was hearing things.

It wasn’t until the surrounding metallic scraping sounds echoed one after another that he realized the Wardens were awakening!

“Holy crap!”

“Hel-“

Before he could finish, he suddenly froze.

Because the Guardian that had awakened beside him wasn’t attacking him!

Instead, it was charging outward.

The six of them immediately sensed something was off. “Holy crap, did Su Fu make them move?”

“It has to be her!” Shan Yue Hua’s voice trembled with excitement.

“Otherwise, why would the Wardens spare us?”

“Holy crap, she’s incredible! How did she even manage to control the Wardens?”

Everyone was stunned.

This was beyond unbelievable.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t figure out how she did it!

Just then, someone suddenly sighed in relief.

“Well, if it really is Su Fu, those provincial academy candidates are in for a world of trouble!”

The group’s expressions instantly turned gleeful.

Those provincial academy candidates had been so arrogant before, calling them trash and garbage, hitting and insulting them at will.

They’d been blasted away by Liana’s war divine power, toyed with by Ichiro’s solar sphere, and ultimately forced to flee in disgrace…

But now?

With Su Fu here, those guys were definitely doomed!

“Brilliant,” Ming Yue Shuang couldn’t help but laugh, pressing her still-bleeding shoulder.

“Let them taste what it’s like to be dealt with by Su Fu! That demon queen will surely give them a proper beating!”

“After all,” someone said with a meaningful tone, “it’s not always us who have to suffer under Su Fu, right? Those provincial academy candidates were so cocky before, daring to talk big in front of Su Fu…”

“Hehe~~”

“Now it’s their turn to face misfortune! Su Fu will definitely give them a lesson they’ll never forget!”

The six of them were positively gleeful.

The more they’d been humiliated by Su Fu before, the more confident they felt now, even experiencing a slight surge of security.

They suddenly realized-if Su Fu became their backer, it would be freaking awesome!

Sure, this “backer” wasn’t exactly easy to deal with on a daily basis, often tricking them without hesitation.

But in critical moments, she was the one they could count on!

And most importantly-

“With her leading the charge, do we even need to fear those provincial academy guys anymore?”

As soon as this thought crossed their minds, they all instinctively straightened their backs.

Exactly!

They were, after all, on the same side as Su Fu.

Let’s see how cocky those provincial academy guys could be now!

“Ah, for the first time, I feel like that 500,000 was money well spent!”

“Hey, Pi Chu Xi! Quick! Activate your Crow’s Eye live stream! Let’s see what’s happening outside!”

“I have to witness this scene with my own eyes!”

“Yeah, yeah!” Ming Yue Shuang chimed in.

“I want to see those guys get what’s coming to them! Hehehe…”

Even Klaus, with a hint of anticipation in his reserved demeanor, asked, “Do you have enough divine power? If not, I can top you up.”

The implication was clear-he wanted to watch too.

Pi Chu Xi:”…..”

You guys weren’t like this earlier!

No one but me believed Su Fu could pull it off!

But now… isn’t this a bit too quick to kneel down?

However, urged by the crowd, Pi Chu Xi had no choice but to activate his divine power and open the Crow’s Eye.

Yet, the moment the vision unfolded-

“My god…” Pi Chu Xi gasped in shock.

What met her eyes wasn’t the scene of provincial academy candidates being beaten, but three golden rules of the region being updated!

The coffin fell into dead silence.

Pi Chu Xi was dazed, “The rules weren’t like this before…”

“Wait, are you saying,” Zhou Tinlin finally found his voice, “these are… new regional rules?”

“So Su Fu changed the rules?!” Klaus said in disbelief, “How is that even possible?!”

Everyone was playing by the rules, and then after a short while, Su Fu just went ahead and changed them, huh?

Is that fair?

No, it’s not.

Damn, that’s just too outrageous!

What kind of cheat code did Su Fu find to directly buff herself to the max?!

At that moment, Shan Yue Hua suddenly felt something was off and spoke up, “Speaking of which…”

“Look at these rules, don’t you feel…”

“They seem specifically designed to deal with those provincial academy candidates?”

“The first rule limits the number of people, directly awakening the Wardens to take them down!”

“The second rule prevents them from escaping, essentially trapping them here as targets!”

“As for the third rule…”

“Holy crap, it’s even more intense! Just when they think they’ve defeated the Wardens and won, an even stronger law enforcer appears!”

…I can’t imagine how desperate they must feel facing this.

Everyone: “!!!”

This is awesome!

“Su Fu, you’re amazing!”

“I will follow you to the death!”

Huh?

Who shouted that last line?
