Chapter 172 -171: Ugly in Appearance, Skilled in Play
Shao Zifeng and his companions had just arrived at the elevator when they noticed the doors were closing. Rushing forward, he extended his hand to block the doors.
Inside the elevator was the Jiangkou University team. Seeing this, Wang Xiao reached over and pressed the door-open button.
The elevator doors reopened, and Shao Zifeng, upon seeing the five people inside, paused momentarily before stepping in, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Wang Xiao replied with a reserved smile, extending his right hand to Shao Zifeng, “Captain of the Jiangkou University team, Wang Xiao.”
Jiangkou University?
The semi-finals, huh!
Shao Zifeng sized up the seemingly refined young man, and extended his hand to shake it lightly, “Su City University’s… um, Captain Shao Zifeng.”
“Su City University?” Letting go of Shao Zifeng’s hand, Wang Xiao looked puzzled for a moment before remembering there was a Su City on the outer edge of the Yundu Region. However, in the past few tournaments, it seemed they hadn’t achieved any noteworthy results.
Initially, he had wanted to make acquaintance with these distinguished-looking men, but upon learning of their origins, he lost interest in continuing the conversation.
Nodding slightly to Shao Zifeng, he turned and whispered something to his teammates.
Shao Zifeng smiled slightly and whispered some registration particulars to his three companions for later.
Since the bald one, Qiang, was slacking off in the car, it was up to him as captain to handle these matters.
The feeling of weightlessness came, the elevator ascended swiftly, and the members of the two school teams stood distinctly on opposite sides, without interfering with each other.
“Tsk, Su City University, are these guys here for a fashion show or something?”
The scornful voice shattered the harmony in the elevator, and everyone lifted their heads, their gazes uniformly turned towards the source of the sound.
“Ma Fei! Shut your mouth,” Wang Xiao shot a look at the acne-marked man before apologetically saying to Shao Zifeng, “Sorry Captain Shao, please don’t take it to heart.”
Sulking, Ma Fei pursed his lips. These people had overshadowed what should have been their moment, and while he had been cautious not knowing their identities, once he heard they were from Su City University, he could not hold back any longer.
But since the captain had spoken, he didn’t dare to create a ruckus and simply turned his head away, ignoring everyone.
“It’s okay, just a child’s temper,” Shao Zifeng waved it off, then continued looking at Ma Fei with a smile.
In fact, he was a bit annoyed inside. If you want to say Su University is weak, say it. He had no objections, for Su University was indeed weak, and there was nothing to argue about.
But to depreciate Su University, and to pull him into it, that was something Shao Zifeng did not appreciate.
On hearing this, Ma Fei’s anger flared, his face turning a blotchy red, the original acne scars turning a purplish hue due to the redness. He suddenly turned around, glaring furiously at Shao Zifeng, “Who are you calling a child?”
Li Yiming, Casar, and the other person stepped forward behind Shao Zifeng as Ma Fei burst into a rage.
The Jiangkou University team, seeing this display, naturally couldn’t show weakness. Despite disliking Ma Fei’s personality, they still couldn’t allow a student from another school to bully one of their own.
The atmosphere inside the elevator grew tense, and Wang Xiao’s expression soured. He thought he had given enough face to the captain of Su University, yet this man insisted on a petty argument, bringing things to a difficult standstill.
Regardless of the displeasure he felt towards Shao Zifeng, as a captain, he couldn’t let this conflict escalate. Not wanting to scold his own team member again, Wang Xiao swallowed his discontent, “Captain Shao, shall we agree to let this matter go? Anything else, we can resolve on the field.”
No sooner had he finished speaking, the elevator came to a halt, and the doors opened.
“That would be perfect.” Shao Zifeng really wanted to respond with some choice words, but he felt it would be embarrassing, he just couldn’t say it.
As he stepped out of the elevator, Shao Zifeng stopped suddenly next to Ma Fei, patted his shoulder, and said, “Nice clothes, quite flashy.”
Watching Shao Zifeng’s receding figure, Ma Fei was a bit confused. Was he… complimenting him?
At that moment, his teammate beside him suddenly burst out laughing, giving Ma Fei a somewhat playful look.
Ma Fei asked, “What are you laughing at?”
His teammate cheerfully replied, “Nothing much, just thought of an aphorism.”
Wang Xiao glanced at them and said, “Alright, let’s go too.”
With that, he also left the elevator. The teammate who had just laughed gave Ma Fei a smirking smile and followed behind their captain out of the elevator.
Seeing that his teammates had all left the elevator, Ma Fei took out his phone and typed ‘the first half of ‘playing the flower” into Qian-Du.
At the sight of the search results, Ma Fei’s face turned ashen, his hands trembling with anger as he held his phone.
On his phone screen was displayed a phrase:
‘A toad lusts for a swan’s flesh—not good looking but playing around.’

Was this…
The last bit of ‘gentleness’ from the not-so-great-at-slang Shao Zifeng to him?
…
After taking photos at the qualification office, verifying their identity and pet creature information, Shao Zifeng and others returned to their car. On the way, when they ran into the Jiangkou University team, Ma Fei’s gaze was murderous.
Casar and Li Yiming, the two honest kids, didn’t know what had happened; seeing him glaring, they simply glared back, albeit without much threatening effect.
Flipping through the information sheet in his hand, Shao Zifeng was somewhat speechless. During the pet creature certification, when the staff asked what his pet creature was and he said it was the Wood Spirit White Deer and Armadillo Dragon Lizard, the staff looked at him as if he were a fool and told him there were no such creatures in their database, advising him not to randomly assign “chunibyo” names to his pets.
In the end, Shao Zifeng had no choice but to get his creatures certified as a Sika Deer and a South African Armadillo Lizard.
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already past 10 PM. After grabbing a quick bite to eat by the roadside, everyone headed back to their rooms to rest.
Shao Zifeng dozed off in his room for a while and when it was nearing midnight, he rolled out of bed, pulling out various items from his travel bag and placing them on the bed, leaving only the hidden blade and some medicine inside.
He planned to get a look at Yundu City’s underground platform before the official start of the competition. Su City’s underground platform was too sparsely populated, and his few visits had only yielded the Divine Deer Relics, which were not too bad.
This time, he wanted to see if he could find some good stuff in Yundu City and also transfer the money stored in the platform to his own card.
Carrying his travel bag, Shao Zifeng walked out of the Yundu Hotel, took out his phone, and confirmed the address: Entrance at the left wall of Building 4, No. 11 Tianhe Road, Yundu City, Fifth Hospital.
Initially, he had asked Luo Feng for the address, since this was his area of expertise, but who would have thought that guy still hadn’t removed him from the blacklist.
In the end, he had no choice but to turn to Chen Zhenglong, and only after explaining for a long while that he wasn’t up to no good did he manage to get the address from him.
Yundu City, as the capital of the Yundu Region, remained bustling even at night. Not long after he left the hotel, a taxi drove over.
He opened the door and got in, saying casually to the driver, “Master, to the Fifth Hospital on Tianhe Road.”
The smile of the driver, who was happy to have a fare, froze on his face. He said, trembling a bit, “Buddy… let me get you another cab, shall we?”
Shao Zifeng: …
