"Eh? What are you talking about? How could I do that? I'm doing this all for the sake of your relationship with Miss Tico."
Being seen through by Yang Yu, Keke's mouth twitched, but after a moment, she smoothed it out, with an extremely natural expression, explaining as if nothing had happened.
"I admit that I wrote that article with the intention of making a little money, but that's human nature, and I really didn't have any bad intentions. If I had bad intentions, I would have used that article to discredit your relationship with Miss Tiko from the beginning. So, please believe me, I really just wanted to give the clumsy Miss Tiko a gentle push from behind."
Yang Yu smiled calmly, his sharp eyes looked down upon Ke Ke.
"Oh, and then?"
Enduring the gaze that seemed to pierce through her, Ke’ai’s heart began to beat violently, and a drop of cold sweat dripped slowly from her forehead along her cheek.
What on earth is wrong with this man
My words didn't shake him at all. Isn't he the kind of thick-skinned man
No way, I couldn't be wrong.
This man blatantly asked the examiner to go easy on me in the martial arts examination hall, and even ignored the library's rules and regulations. He didn't know that a monster user would have to face an invigilator, and he couldn't see my obvious intention.
But why does he seem so aggressive now, and even see through my little thoughts, while I have no way of finding any flaws in him
Could it be that all his previous performance was fake
Fake, etc. Could it be that all his previous actions were intentional
Suddenly, an electric current ran through the lovely brain, sparking a spark of wisdom in her mind. Everything that she had never been able to understand before, at this moment, became clear.
When did he start planning this? Was it the last martial arts exam, or the entrance exam, or even in the more distant past
Am I really just a chess piece in his hand, being played around by him at will
He first piqued my curiosity with an unprecedented zero-score test paper, allowing me to discover the emoticons on his test paper, write an article that would impact the public's vision and make headlines, and use me to spread the emoticons, creating a topic for him before he even entered the museum.
Then, there were his two military examinations, which also contained hidden secrets.
Perhaps he had prepared to pass the martial arts test in one go from the very beginning, and he must have prepared the props that could summon the giant Hani in advance. The reason why he lost was probably because he was not satisfied with the number of people who came that day.
If he wanted to continue to create topics and keep the heat going, he had to let more people see his heroic demeanor with their own eyes. So, he changed his mind temporarily. After defeating Dianwen, he pretended not to know the rules of the library and surrendered hastily, keeping the secret weapon.
I didn't think about it carefully before, but now I think about it carefully. It would take almost five days for someone who doesn't know flying magic to go back and forth to Hani Village. There are only less than two days in a week. Let alone gaining Hani's recognition, it would be good enough to understand Hani's character.
If a monster user wants to become a member of the Star Library, he or she has to put in several times more effort than ordinary members.
If you just do the work and earn a meager income, who knows when you can become a senior member of the library.
Being noticed by higher-ups and appointed to a position is the fastest known way to become a senior member of the library.
This is most likely his purpose, to use the topic to create heat and continuously increase the chances of being noticed by higher-ups.
In fact, on the day the manuscript was submitted, many senior library executives had already expressed interest in Yang Yu, and his plan was truly progressing steadily.
Even my publishing of this gossip might have been part of his plan.
When I showed up at the restaurant, there was obviously very little food left on their table, but that person seemed not to be full yet and ordered a few more dishes, as if he was deliberately telling me that he would stay a little longer and might reveal some interesting information. Shouldn't I sit down and listen
Yes, if that's the case, it all makes sense.
His plan did not start from the time of the entrance examination, but from the moment he met Tiko, and the spread of rumors was completely within his expectations.
He wants higher popularity and more traffic.
He came here so many days after the library newspaper was published. He was deliberately letting the rumor ferment in the library for a while. When it had fermented enough, he told Miss Tico about it and asked me to refute it.
As his popularity continued to rise, he proved his greatness by refuting rumors, and further gained the favor of senior management, causing them to scramble to offer various conditions to recruit him.
What a terrible man.
"Why don't you say anything? Or do you have nothing to say? In that case, come with us to dispel the rumors. As long as you are willing to dispel the rumors with us and your attitude is sincere, then we can forgive you for what you just did."
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, Yang Yu smiled evilly.
"But if you still want to make excuses and continue to distort the facts. I can't guarantee what will happen next. The peerless genius of the Library of All Things hurt an innocent female reporter because of his own anger. I believe that the top leaders will definitely give that genius some forgiveness and just send the female reporter away casually."
Hearing this, Ke Keai was deeply confused.
This is really unacceptable.
From the moment I opened the test paper, I became a chess piece in his hands. And anyone could be the chess piece.
Even if he is not the first one to open the zero-score test paper, there will be a second and third person who will open it and become a chess piece in his hand.
Kekeai bit her lips lightly and frowned. After a long while, she calmed down her complicated mood and asked:
"Can I ask Mr. Yang Yu a few questions? If Mr. Yang Yu can answer my questions, I can also help you to dispel the rumors."
Yang Yu was delighted by the change in Ke'ai's attitude, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said in a very nonchalant manner: "What's your question? As long as it's within my ability, I will try my best to answer it for you. However, if you want to misinterpret my words and make a big news, I advise you to give up on it."
"I will keep your words in mind." Ke Keai and Yang Yu looked into each other's eyes. If Yang Yu was lying, she could easily expose it with her keen perception. "First question, please answer me, do you fully understand the library's system?"
Yang Yu was careless. He had spent some time memorizing the contents of the manual. Of course he remembered it.
"Words are not enough. Just ask me and I promise I can recite the whole thing."
"Second question," Ke Keai shook her head. She knew Yang Yu was not joking, and then asked the second question, "Can I be replaced?"
Yang Yu smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
