Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

The morning's departure ceremony ended hastily, with many scheduled procedures not yet completed, before City Lord Lin Zhengtian prematurely announced its end.

The main problem is that it has to end soon.

This is such a simple opening speech, and Qin Yu has managed to make it so complicated. If the process continues like this, Jiangnan City will become a laughing stock for the whole country.

One can only say, he truly lives up to his reputation as the grandson of the Great Xia Inspector.

Such behavior is utterly inhuman!

"Qin Yu, could you please come here for a moment?"

As the event ended, Lin Zhengtian waved to Qin Yu.

"Lord Lin, you wanted to see me?"

Lin Zhengtian waved his hand with a smile and said, "Why call me City Lord? It sounds too formal."

"Oh, Old Lin, what's up?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately put his hands behind his head and asked with a carefree laugh.

"..."

Lin Zhengtian's lips twitched suddenly. What the hell is Lin?

He has now discovered that...

We absolutely cannot give this kid any leverage, otherwise he'll really shoot up the bar!

Lin Zhengtian chuckled dryly, then looked at Qin Yu, patted him on the shoulder solemnly, and said:

"Qin Yu, the city has high expectations for your team this time. How about it, are you confident of making it into the top 16?"

"Puch!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately smiled.

He was wondering how big the scale of the city was, but he didn't expect that they thought making it into the top 16 would be a success!

Too small!

The layout is small!

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue behind him couldn't help but shake her head and smile helplessly.

Putting everything else aside, Qin Yu's individual strength alone far surpasses that of Fang Ping, the strongest high school student in the entire province.

Although this is a team competition, not just a contest of individual strength, it is not difficult to make it into the top 16.

Qin Yu couldn't help but turn around and look at Lin Qingxue, asking:

"Didn't you tell your dad about me and Fang Ping?"

Lin Qingxue smiled and shook her head: "I forgot to mention it."

"Fang Ping? What Fang Ping?"

Lin Zhengtian was taken aback upon hearing this, and his expression was somewhat puzzled.

Lin Qingxue was about to explain when Qin Yu interrupted her.

Qin Yu's eyes darted around, then he feigned a sorrowful expression and sighed, saying:

"That's right, Fang Ping came to our school to challenge us a while ago, and then beat me up badly, leaving me with a deep psychological trauma."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Qin Yu with a completely bewildered expression!

She actually believed Fang Ping's brutal beating; if she hadn't been there, she would have believed it.

Isn't this blatant lying?

However, Lin Zhengtian's expression did not change at all upon hearing this.

In his view, this was quite normal.

Then, he smiled and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Qin Yu, it's okay. Fang Ping is the strongest high school student in our province after all. It's normal that you can't beat him. Don't feel inferior about it."

However, Qin Yu still wore that pained expression, his Dao heart damaged, and sighed deeply:

"Uncle Lin, you know our team's strength; we're only in the lower-middle tier in the whole province."

"In addition, my team's strongest core and team spirit captain suffered a severe mental blow after being brutally beaten by Fang Ping, and now he can only exert one-tenth of his strength!"

"It would be an impossible task for us to even make it into the round of 16 right now!"

"I feel like our team would be considered a success if we just didn't get eliminated in the qualifiers!"

Lin Zhengtian was taken aback upon hearing this.

Ok?

Is it that difficult?

Am I really asking for too much?

Lin Zhengtian couldn't help but reflect on it and realized that his demands might be somewhat unrealistic.

After all, in recent years, the vast majority of the teams representing Jiangnan City have been eliminated in the preliminary rounds, and very few have made it into the top 64.

Even though the team Qin Yu is leading is far stronger than the previous teams from Jiangnan City, it is still a bit of a stretch to expect them to break into the top sixteen in one go.
