Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 67 For Teacher Lin’s Sake
Tang Wulin came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and whispered, "I'm wondering if we should talk to Chen Zhou."

"Chenzhou?"

Xie Xie and the others were stunned for a moment, then revealed complicated expressions. While Chen Zhou's presence in Class Zero wasn't strong, his strength and mystique made him impossible to ignore. Especially his almost perverse performance on the Spirit Ascension Platform, which was beyond anyone's reach.

"What do you want to talk to him about?"

Zhang Yangzi asked in confusion, "He doesn't usually communicate with us, and his strength...we can't keep up with him at all, right?"

Tang Wulin shook his head and said seriously, "It's precisely because his strength far exceeds ours that we need his help even more. The danger on the Spirit Ascension Platform during this riot is much higher than usual. If we can team up with him, our chances of survival will greatly increase."

Wang Jinxi nodded and agreed, "Wulin is right. Chenzhou's strength is truly unmatched by ours. If we can get his help, we can indeed get through this exam more safely."

Xie Xie curled his lips and said reluctantly, "But he usually ignores us. How can we convince him?"

Tang Wulin smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes: "I have a way."

The next day, Tang Wulin arrived at Chen Zhou's dormitory door alone. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Zhou's voice came from inside, still calm and cold.

Tang Wulin pushed open the door and saw Chen Zhou sitting at his desk, a thick book in his hands, reading intently. He looked up at Tang Wulin and asked calmly, "What's up?"

Looking at Chen Zhou's unapproachable look, Tang Wulin felt a little disappointed for a moment. After all, he had thought that as a student of the same Hongshan College as Chen Zhou, their relationship should be better.

"Well, Teacher Wu said that our final exam will be conducted as a team. I think the six of us should..."

Tang Wulin went straight to the point. After spending three years together at Hongshan College, he understood that Chen Zhou didn't like nonsense, and the best way was to state his purpose directly.

However, before he could finish his words, Chen Zhou interrupted him: "I don't need a team."

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then spoke anxiously, "But the Spirit Ascension Platform is extremely dangerous during this riot. If we can act together, our chances of survival will greatly increase. Besides, Teacher Wu also said that teamwork is a key aspect of this exam."

Chen Zhou put down the book in his hand, looked at Tang Wulin calmly, and said lightly: "Tang Wulin, I understand your thoughts. But for me, a team is not necessary. I have my own plans, and I don't think you can keep up with my pace."

Tang Wulin was choked by Chen Zhou's words, not knowing how to respond for a moment. He knew that Chen Zhou's strength far surpassed theirs, but even so, he still hoped that Chen Zhou would consider the possibility of teamwork.

"Chen Zhou, I know you're strong, but this exam isn't just about individual strength. Teamwork is also important. If we can work together, we might have more opportunities."

Tang Wulin tried to persuade Chen Zhou, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Chen Zhou was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Tang Wulin, I understand what you mean. But you have to understand that my goal isn't just to pass this exam. I have my own plans, and they're not suitable for you to execute together." Tang Wulin felt a pang of disappointment after hearing Chen Zhou's words. He knew Chen Zhou's character had always been this way: calm, rational, even a little aloof. He never easily changed his mind, especially when it came to his personal plans. Although Tang Wulin felt a little disappointed, he also understood that he couldn't force Chen Zhou to join their team.

"I understand."

Tang Wulin nodded, a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Since you have your own plans, I won't force you. However, if you encounter any trouble in the Spirit Ascension Platform, you can always come to us. We will do our best to help."

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, I will remember it."

Tang Wulin said nothing more and turned to leave.

"I will follow you for the first twenty minutes, but don't expect me to listen to your ideas."

Chen Zhou looked at Tang Wulin, who turned around in disbelief, and casually explained, "For Teacher Lin's sake."

Tang Wulin was overjoyed, "Great! Chenzhou, thank you!"

Tang Wulin's face lit up with delight. He hadn't expected Chen Zhou to suddenly change his mind. Even though he'd only been accompanying them for the first twenty minutes, it was already a huge breakthrough. He knew that Chen Zhou's strength far surpassed theirs, and even a brief companionship would be of immense help.

Chen Zhou nodded calmly without saying anything else, continuing to read the book in his hands. Seeing this, Tang Wulin tactfully left the room and gently closed the door.

Tang Wulin felt much more relaxed after leaving Chenzhou's dormitory. He quickly returned to his own dormitory and told the others the news.

"Did Chen Zhou agree?"

Xie Xie asked in disbelief, "He's actually willing to work with us?"

Tang Wulin nodded and said with a smile, "Although it's only the first twenty minutes, this is already a very good start. We must make good use of this time and strive to gain more benefits within the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Zhang Yangzi scratched his head and asked in confusion, "But why is Chen Zhou only willing to work with us for twenty minutes? Does he have any special plans?"

Tang Wulin shook his head and said, "It's hard for us to guess Chen Zhou's intentions, but since he's willing to join us, even if it's just for a short time, it shows that he has a certain level of trust in us. We must cherish this opportunity and not let him down."

Wang Jinxi nodded and agreed, "Wulin is right. Chenzhou's strength far exceeds ours. Even if it's just a short journey together, he can provide us with great help. We must make good use of this time and strive to gain more benefits in the Spirit Ascension Platform."

After hearing the news, the most excited person would undoubtedly be Wang Jinxi, who was rescued by Chen Zhou in Shenglingtai. If he had not met Chen Zhou that time, Wang Jinxi, who had learned from Wu Changkong how the human-faced demon spider hunted its prey, would feel shuddering at the thought.

Gu Yue remained silent, listening quietly to the discussion. A complex expression flashed across her eyes, as if she was somewhat surprised by Chen Zhou's decision, but more than that, she felt an indescribable emotion. She sighed softly and whispered, "Chen Zhou... he's still so unpredictable."
