Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Lu Xinglan walked to Lu Lingxi's side, his brows furrowed, and lowered his voice, his tone tinged with confusion, "Why did you agree to travel with them? This is tantamount to opening the door to thieves, isn't that dangerous?"

Lu Lingxi's expression was solemn as she whispered, "Hold my hand tightly!"

Before she finished speaking, her hand had already tightly grasped Lu Xinglan's hand, and the two of them shot forward like arrows, disappearing in an instant. Han Mo and the others' pupils shrank sharply upon seeing this.

"Your Highness, they've escaped!" a servant shouted urgently.

Han Mo's lips curled into a cold smile. "Escape? They think they can escape my grasp? Chase them!"

Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan sped side by side. At each fork in the road, Lu Lingxi deliberately changed direction while keeping a close eye on the movements behind her. After a series of twists and turns, she suddenly stopped, her expression becoming unusually alert.

Full of questions, Lu Xinglan blurted out, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

Lu Lingxi looked back and said, "They really did catch up."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinglan felt a chill run down her spine. She then exchanged a smile with Lu Lingxi. Clearly, there must be something fishy about how Han Mo was able to find them so accurately. They had to find out how Han Mo and the others found their location.

Before long, Han Mo and his group appeared in Lu Lingxi Yao's sight. Although they walked quickly, their expressions were very relaxed.

Han Mo stopped and said, feigning difficulty, "Hey you two, could you please not be in such a hurry? We almost couldn't keep up with you."

Lu Lingxi Yao let out a cold laugh, "You lot, you picked the right direction, catching up so quickly? That's really beyond my expectations."

Upon hearing this, Han Mo gave an awkward smile. "Hehe, it was purely by chance, just by chance. Didn't we agree to go together? How come Miss Lu and Brother Lan went ahead of us?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness, "We're just eager to join up with the other contestants from Lingyue Kingdom. But then again, meeting in this intricate city is no easy feat."

Han Mo sneered inwardly, but maintained his fake smile on the surface. He was calculating in his mind that if he were to clash with Lu Lingxi and the others now, it would undoubtedly be the worst possible choice.

Especially these two, who are among the best in the team, even if they join forces, they will find it difficult to gain an advantage. Moreover, the other side has not yet noticed anything unusual, which gives them an opportunity. As long as they wait patiently and find the right chance...

At the same time, Lu Lingxi was also observing Han Mo discreetly, but found nothing unusual. Clearly, the treasure that could accurately locate the contestants' positions had been hidden in Han Mo's spatial storage device.

"It seems that it will take some effort to get him to show his true colors," Lu Lingxi thought to herself.

Although she could easily eliminate Han Mo and his group by taking action now, she had no idea where Bei Chen Haoyu and his two companions were. It would be more prudent to take action after finding out their location from Han Mo.

"Yaoyao, let's go."

Lu Xinglan gave a wink, then walked ahead side by side with Lu Lingxi. After a few seconds, he lowered his voice, his tone tinged with caution.

"I secretly observed everyone else and found nothing unusual about them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao responded softly, "It seems we must travel with them to observe how things develop."

Not far behind them, Han Mo and his group followed silently. One of the young men finally couldn't contain himself any longer and asked anxiously in a low voice, "Your Highness, when should we take action? If we delay any longer, I'm afraid..."

Han Mo frowned, his tone clearly displeased, "What's the rush? We must wait for the perfect moment to strike decisively!"

However, the other boy's worries were clearly more profound. His voice was even lower, almost a whisper: "But Your Highness, if we continue to deal with these two, our plan... may encounter unexpected changes."

Upon hearing this, Han Mo's face instantly turned ashen. The original plan was to use the threat of the Skeleton Army to force everyone out of the game, which was a foolproof strategy. However, he did not expect that the Skeleton King would be eliminated so easily.

"There are less than two weeks left..." another voice said softly, with a hint of despair and urgency.

Han Mo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his heart was in turmoil.

He knew that continuing like this was not the best course of action, but he also knew that if he took a risky step, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally made up his mind, a resolute glint in his eyes, "If all else fails, I'll have no choice but to take a desperate gamble and go all out."

Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan traveled with the group from the Hopeless Kingdom for several days. It seemed that both sides were competing to see who had more patience. However, Lu Lingxi was not in a hurry at all. If you want the fox's tail to be revealed, you have to be more cunning than the fox.

In the past few days, Lu Lingxi not only maintained enough patience, but also used this time to figure out some things.

During a break, Lu Xinglan finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Lu Lingxiyao in a low voice, "What's the deal with the runes on the Skeleton King's bones?"

Lu Lingxi tilted her head slightly and said in a voice that could be heard by almost only Lu Xinglan, "That is an ancient necromancer contract array used to summon and control powerful undead creatures."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinglan frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "You mean, that Han Mo is a necromancer?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head gently, denying his guess. "No, if he were a necromancer, he certainly wouldn't carve runes on bones, because a necromancer wouldn't need to do that. Therefore, I'm certain that he has a more powerful necromancer secretly helping him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinglan couldn't help but sneer, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery. "It seems that the Hopeless Kingdom will stop at nothing to win this competition, even daring to collude with a taboo being like a necromancer."

At this point, Lu Xinglan's gaze unconsciously swept over Han Mo and his companions, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

Lu Lingxi continued, "Their trump card, the Skeleton King, has already been destroyed by me. He must be filled with resentment and anger. The reason they keep bothering us is simply to look for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. I suspect that their trump card is far more than just that skeleton army. There is probably an even more terrifying undead force lurking in the shadows."

A few more days passed peacefully. Lu Lingxi, Lu Xinglan, and the people of Wuwang Kingdom did not make any moves. Although they were attacked by some spirit beasts during this period, Han Mo did not take any action.

"Your Highness, if we delay any longer, we may miss even more opportunities."

The boy's voice was filled with barely concealed anxiety. With only a few days left until the end of the competition, they had not yet launched any substantial attacks on any country. Instead, they had wasted too much time and energy on these two people, which he felt was a great waste.

Han Mo remained silent, his face ashen. His patience was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished. He knew that time was running out and a decisive action was imminent.

He slowly raised his hand, flipped his palm, and a small, exquisite map appeared, with flashing dots representing the positions of players from various countries.

His cold gaze swept over the gradually dimming lights; about a dozen people had abstained, which undoubtedly lightened their burden.

On the map, the situation was clear: Yao Guang and Kai Yang were engaged in fierce fighting, with five people lost on each side; Wu Wang also lost three elites; Qing Lan still had three members; and Ling Yue had all its members intact.

Han Mo gently put the map away, having already made up his mind. Their only target now was Lingyue Kingdom.

He coldly glanced at Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan, his eyes flashing with determination and ruthlessness. As long as these two were dealt with, even if the rest of the Lingyue Kingdom members arrived, they would be powerless to turn the tide. At that time, the Wuwang Kingdom would undoubtedly win the championship.

"The time to rest is the time to act. This time, we must seize the opportunity and completely eliminate these two obstacles."

Han Mo's words carried an undeniable resolve, and his gaze was like a sharp sword in the dead of winter, making the people following him feel an unprecedented pressure and urgency. Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement; they had truly waited long enough for this moment.

During this time, Han Mo did not make a move in order to lower Lu Lingxi and Yao's guard. Little did he know that his scheme had already been exposed to Lu Lingxi's insight. Not only did Lu Lingxi not fall for the trap, but she also secretly made arrangements, deciding to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and stage a good show of "luring the enemy into the trap".

Just as the two sides were about to make their move, an unexpected event disrupted their plans. They had been wandering around this Forgotten City for more than half a month and had long since lost their sense of direction, relying solely on their instincts to navigate. However, after Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan turned a corner, a straight road appeared before them, causing both of them to tense up.

Lu Lingxi quickly glanced at the sudden avenue, then whispered to Lu Xinglan, "Follow my footsteps, and remember, stay away from the edge!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinglan nodded quickly. The two walked one after the other, their steps seemingly casual, but in reality, they were proceeding cautiously. The people following behind did not notice this subtle change.

The moment they stepped onto the main road, Han Mo led the way, with the other four following closely behind.

But just as they took their first step, an unexpected turn of events occurred—the sides of the road suddenly collapsed, and a terrified scream pierced the air, "Ah—!"

In an instant, the two quick-thinking teenagers activated their teleportation talismans. With a flash of light, their figures vanished from everyone's sight, leaving behind only astonishment and echoes.

Witnessing this scene, Han Mo's eyes widened in anger, and he gritted his teeth, spitting out two words: "Damn it!"

In that instant, all the planning and scheming seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the sudden change, and the real contest seemed to have only just begun...

There are only five people left in the Hopeless Kingdom. Han Mo's gaze was like frost as he stared at Lu Lingxi Yao and Lu Xinglan walking side by side in front of him. His tone was devoid of any emotion, as if even the chill in the air was frozen by him.

“Follow in their footsteps.”

The two boys following behind him had a mixture of fear and determination in their eyes. Their faces were slightly pale from tension, and they seemed to be trembling with every step, yet they were trying to suppress their inner fear.

Lu Lingxi had a vague premonition that this seemingly ordinary road might be the secret passage to the center of the Forgotten City. She couldn't help but wonder if others had encountered the same situation.

When a blinding light appeared before her, the road had finally come to an end. Faced with the glare, Lu Lingxi had to squint. Only when the light subsided did she manage to open her eyes. At that moment, a familiar yet unexpected voice entered her ears.

"Little junior sister!"

Lu Lingxi looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures walking out of another exit: Bei Chen Haoyu, Shangguan Yunqing, Bai Mingxuan, and... Su Yuwei.

Lu Lingxi was not surprised by Su Yuwei's appearance. She just thought that Su Yuwei was really lucky. In such a dangerous environment, she was able to reunite with the team and eventually get here.

"We meet again"

A soft yet slightly mocking voice drifted over, and several figures emerged from another exit. It turned out to be a team from the Kaiyang Kingdom, led by a seemingly frail but actually quite formidable young man. Although they appeared somewhat disheveled, the unwavering light in their eyes had not been extinguished.

"you...",

At another exit, Ranran led her team out, and was full of surprise when she saw Lu Lingxi and Kaiyang's team.

Next, three contestants from the Hopeless Kingdom emerged from behind Lu Lingxi and the others. Then, three contestants from the Azure Orchid Kingdom and two contestants from the Hopeless Kingdom came out from another exit. Everyone gathered together, and the number of people from the five countries was obvious. The Spirit Yue Kingdom had 6 people left, the Azure Orchid Kingdom had 3 people, and the other three countries each had 5 people.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuwei immediately laughed and said loudly, "It seems that this time, the crown is destined to belong to our Lingyue Kingdom!"

Lu Lingxi's dark eyes narrowed, and her tone turned icy. "Su Yuwei, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Su Yuwei's face flushed crimson at these words, and she was about to blurt out a rebuttal when Bei Chenhaoyu's emotionless voice, like a cold wind, interrupted her thoughts.

"Shut up! Do you want to make our Lingyue Kingdom a target of conflict among the other four nations?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuwei's heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed the words that were about to come out. She unconsciously looked around and saw that the gazes of the other four countries were like invisible arrows, all shooting towards the Lingyue Kingdom's team.

The current situation is delicate and tense. With its overwhelming numerical advantage, Lingyue Kingdom has become the country that is likely to win first place in this competition.

Apart from Qinglan Kingdom, the other three countries' teams each have five members, which is almost the same as Lingyue Kingdom's team. In addition, those who remain are all geniuses from their respective countries. Once they compete, it's really hard to say who will ultimately win first place.

Although Su Yuwei had shut her mouth, the gazes of the other four teams were like sharp arrows, piercing through the air and shooting straight into her heart, bringing an indescribable chill.

Their gazes always filled Su Yuwei with inexplicable fear. She knew that in this world full of powerful people, no single country could guarantee to have the last laugh if it fought alone.

If the four nations were to join forces to overthrow the powerful Lingyue Kingdom, even with Lu Lingxi's quick wit, Lu Xinglan's bravery, and Beichen Haoyu's wisdom, they would inevitably face a fierce battle, and their chances of victory would become precarious.
