Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 492 - 466: Bees

"Buzz..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Buzz..."

"Buzz...

...

Chen Shouyi slowly threw punch after punch.

The air carried a faint buzzing sound.

Perhaps his will was naturally strong and focused, his progress in explosive power was astonishingly fast.

With practice over the past half month, his proficiency skyrocketed.

From barely being a novice, he leaped to "Novice: 18", just one step away from proficient level.

The power had already surpassed that of the unfortunate legend from the Pantheon.

The energy within him, once like stagnant water, had now become increasingly active, feeling easier and easier to control. With a single thought, the energy vibrated violently, making even the air buzz.

The Shell Lady sat at the edge of the bed, facing the direction of Chen Shouyi’s punches. Her entire skin trembled slightly from the air, feeling tingly and unusually comfortable.

She swung her little feet cheerfully, mimicking the sound with her voice: "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

"Stop talking!" Chen Shouyi said.

"Oh!" the Shell Lady obediently replied.

After a while.

She began to revert to her old habits.

Chen Shouyi simply ignored her and continued to repeatedly throw punches.

"Good Giant, are you a big bee?" the Shell Lady asked curiously.

What kind of strange thought process is this?

Chen Shouyi was momentarily speechless and stopped: "In what way do I look like a bee?"

"You can fly and also make buzzing sounds," the Shell Lady said sweetly.

Chen Shouyi laughed:

"You’re the bee. You eat nectar, bees eat nectar, you can fly, bees can fly too."

The Shell Lady tilted her head, thinking carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt she was like a bee. Her face immediately fell, and she shook her head vigorously, saying, "Little Dot is a good Little Dot, not a bad bee, not at all alike!

Can you not call Little Dot a bee in the future?"

She had seen Earth’s bees, and as fellow food competitors, they were naturally categorized as bad.

"Then you also cannot call me a bee in the future!"

"Okay, you are a good Giant, not a big bee, and Little Dot is a good Little Dot, not a little bee."

After reaching an agreement with the Shell Lady, Chen Shouyi resumed his practice.

Beside him, the Shell Lady was filled with thoughts, the topic of bees being like a curse, her mind repeatedly cycling through thinking she resembled a bee, making her restless.

She held back for a while before she couldn’t help but ask, "Good Giant, does Little Dot really not look like a bee?"

"Stop thinking about it, you’re not!" Chen Shouyi threw a punch filled with energy, speechless.

"But, Little Dot feels like..." the Shell Lady was so anxious she was about to cry, tears starting to fall.

Chen Shouyi felt helpless. How could there be such a silly creature; where did her usual cleverness go?

"Then what do you think I resemble?"

"You look like a big bee..." the Shell Lady quickly shook her head violently, tears flying: "You look like a big Giant."

"Do you resemble me?" Chen Shouyi guided her gently.

The Shell Lady wiped her tears, sized up Chen Shouyi from head to toe, and then cried again: "Boohoo... not at all, you have a scary big worm, Little Dot doesn’t..."

Chen Shouyi looked embarrassed.

You voyeur, still have the nerve to speak, every time I take off my clothes, you’re curious and can’t stop staring.

"I mean other than that... big worm!"

"There’s a slight resemblance," the Shell Lady reluctantly admitted.

"So you don’t look like a bee, you look like a Giant."

"Okay, you’re a Giant, Little Dot is a little person," the Shell Lady nodded vigorously.

Chen Shouyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking wasn’t she clever normally, how come she was fixating on this.

"But, boohoo... Little Dot still feels like a bee!"

...

During wartime, the spring break had ended after just two short days.

On the seventh day after the Spring Festival, Sunday morning.

The calm campus of Jiangnan University seemed somewhat different.

Early in the morning, large numbers of fierce-looking, well-built outsiders began to flock into the campus in groups, making the entire Jiangnan University extremely noisy.

The security guards at the school gate completely ignored this scene.

Some of these people wore military uniforms, some were in casual clothes, some were locals from Hedong, and some had even come specifically from other places.

"General Manager Qin, you’re here too." Luo Peibin happened to meet Qin Liuyuan at the entrance and greeted him with a smile.

"Just call me Lao Qin. This is a lecture by a legendary powerhouse; if you miss it, there may not be another chance in the future!" Qin Liuyuan said.

"Indeed, I heard that you, Lao Qin, used to frequently carry out missions with General Manager Chen." Luo Peibin curiously asked, "Can you tell me what the strength of a legend is like?"

"Immeasurable!" Qin Liuyuan said, with some emotion: "He is a true genius, while we are just mortals. I hope you don’t mind me saying this."

"No, no, of course I don’t mind, I am self-aware." Luo Peibin quickly said. He became a Martial Artist at the age of thirty, naturally considered a genius, but how could he dare to boast compared to General Manager Chen.

"More than a year ago, when I first performed a mission with him, I was a great Martial Artist, and so was General Manager Chen. His strength was somewhat stronger than mine, but such strength was still within reach, with effort it might be possible to catch up.

Half a year later, when we met again, I was still a great Martial Artist, but he had already become a Martial Artist.

When I luckily became a Martial Artist, he was probably already a legend by then.

Now, I can’t even begin to fathom his current strength."

The two walked and talked, being greeted respectfully by others from time to time along the way.

As Qin Liuyuan nodded in acknowledgment while speaking, he suddenly paused, turned to Luo Peibin:

"Do you know about the demigod fierce bird during the God of Hunting war?"

"Of course, I’ve heard about it!" Luo Peibin said.

"Do you know who killed it?" Qin Liuyuan asked.

"Are you saying... General Manager Chen!" Luo Peibin was shocked.

"Exactly, at that time, Hedong had already fallen, the military was defeated and collapsing, yet General Manager Chen singlehandedly slew this demigod. Otherwise, the war would have dragged on, and perhaps Jiangnan Province might still be under siege now!" Qin Liuyuan said.

"General Manager Chen killed a demigod!? How is that possible?" Luo Peibin was incredulous.

As soon as he spoke, he realized his mistake and quickly babbled to explain:

"No, I didn’t mean it like that, it’s just so..."

"Hard to believe, right? That’s why we are just ordinary people." Seeing the look of shock on Luo Peibin’s face, Qin Liuyuan felt pleased. At the time, he too was profoundly impressed.

Also feeling honored inside.

After all, he had once fought alongside General Manager Chen.

Before, he still had the heart to compare, but after this, he completely gave up.

The two were no longer on the same level.

As time went on, more and more people poured into the campus, heading towards the auditorium. Qin Liuyuan quickly said, "It seems more people are coming, let’s not talk anymore, better grab a seat first."
