Absolute Choice 1

"Shi Xiaobai, stop fooling around!"
Shi Xiaobai, I'll really get mad!"
"Shi Xiaobai, if you don't open your eyes, don't blame me for not sparing my fists or kicks!"
"Shi Xiaobai, don't you screw things up at the crucial moment!"
"Shi Xiaobai, I'm begging you. Hurry up and open your eyes!"
"Shi Xiaobai, I... Nice Sister Riko will not hit you ever again. Can you open your eyes, please?"
"......"
It was as if Shi Xiaobai did not hear Riko's yelling. He still had his eyes closed and looked completely unconcerned. By the side, the three older people were also advising Shi Xiaobai to obtain at least one point, telling him that it would affect his becoming of an S Class rookie. However, Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows did not even flinch.
It was as if Shi Xiaobai had fallen asleep. He remained motionless like a sculpture.
What had happened? What was wrong with Shi Xiaobai? Did some mental problem happen? Was it a vision problem? Or was he so inapt at shooting that he was avoiding it?
These questions hounded the minds of everyone as the test began to come to an end.
"Ninety-third point. Blue!"
As of this moment, Yang Yang had 50 points, Kevin had 31 points, while Zhong Yue'er had 12 points. As for Shi Xiaobai, he was still at 0 points.
Mu Hongli's anxious heart soothed. She did not give up the opportunity and sneered at Riko. "Don't you forget our bet. I hope I'll hear news of you voluntarily resigning your post as Pontus."
Riko had yelled so much that she was going hoarse. If not for her being disallowed from interrupting the ability test midway, she would probably have charged over to brutally beat Shi Xiaobai up. Upon hearing Mu Hongli mocking her, she immediately felt more disheartened and turned even more anxious.
"Shi Xiaobai! Hurry up and open your eyes to score one point! As long as you obtain one point, I'll agree to anything you want!"
Riko was so flustered that she no longer knew what she was saying.
However, the moment she said that, a miracle happened. Shi Xiaobai's body suddenly moved.
"Girl, will you really agree to anything This King wants?"

Chapter15 Perception of God
"What you can't see with your eyes, use your mind to capture its trajectory and feel its emotions. From that, 'see' its existence."
Shi Xiaobai always remembered this line. Although he forgot where this line came from, maybe it was a novel or an animation, or it could have been fabricated by himself, Shi Xiaobai believed in one thing—one's mind could see everything.
This was one of the reasons Shi Xiaobai eventually made this choice. Shi Xiaobai believed he could use his mind's power to capture the target's location, and from that complete the feat of shooting blind.
"There is nothing This King can't do."
This was Shi Xiaobai's current maxim.
The belief of being able to implement this personal maxim made Shi Xiaobai attempt to sense the energy in his mind after he closed his eyes. Regardless of how chaotic the external world was, he remained calm in his inner mind.
However, what made Shi Xiaobai disappointed was that after more than ninety targets went by, he still failed to sense a hint of his mind's energy. The world he saw after closing his eyes was still that dark world with that layer of illumination.
But just as Shi Xiaobai was about to abandon his belief, the voice of the Violent Girl resounded in his ears—"Shi Xiaobai! Hurry up and open your eyes to score one point! As long as you obtain one point, I'll agreed to anything you want!"
Agree to anything, doesn't that mean...
Shi Xiaobai could no longer hold on any further. He knew that he could not stay silent anymore. He rushed to confirm if Violent Girl's promise would truly be effective as he hurriedly asked, "Girl, will you really agree to anything This King wants?"
These were the words Shi Xiaobai suddenly said after a prolonged period of silence. However, the more calm and tranquil it was before, the more out of the blue it was!
Everyone was dumbfounded from shock. Their conversation sounded too bizarre, with an inexplicable strange flavor to it.
Riko was also dumbfounded from shock. Although she knew Shi Xiaobai would not suggest any 'creepy uncle' requests, there was no guarantees a thirteen-year-old boy would suddenly have curiosities that arose from puberty, doing some understandably "naughty things". In short, Riko whiffed a dangerous scent from his words.
Just as Riko was in a dilemma, a cold machine-like voice echoed—"Ninety-eighth point. Blue!"
"Holy shit, it's nearly too late. I'll agree first. If that darn kid suggests anything scummy, I'll at most disavow everything and serve him a good beating as a side dish!"
Riko quickly made up her mind and hurriedly screamed at the top of her voice, "I'll agree to anything. Quick shoot!
At the same time, the cold machine-like voice echoed: "Ninety-nine points. Blue!"
The next target was the last one left! There was no more time left!
Upon hearing Riko's voice, Shi Xiaobai, who was considering when to shoot, how to shoot and where to shoot, suddenly came to a realization that there wasn't enough time left. However, the powers of the mind he was hoping for did not appear. The world in front of his eyes was still black!
"It seems like there are things This King can't do. Sometimes, some things won't work out. However, one should enjoy life when there is prosperity. When it's time to shoot, there must not be any hesitation! Here goes, I'll let all of you see This King’s Shot of Fate!"
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai no longer hesitated. Immediately he raised his right hand and pointed in a random spot and pulled the trigger. Immediately, a laser beam shot out!
In an instant, the cold machine-like voice echoed—"Hundredth point. Red!"
Red?
Who was red?
Wasn't red fucking Shi Xiaobai!?
At this moment, everyone was momentarily at a loss, including Shi Xiaobai.
...
Other than Shi Xiaobai, everyone else went into a state of utter confusion. Not only had Shi Xiaobai shot with his eyes closed, he had shot before the target point appeared, not after it appeared!
At the instant Shi Xiaobai pulled the trigger, while the laser beam was flying towards the white screen at the speed of light, the target point suddenly appeared and was then immediately hit!
It could be said that this shot was anticipatory, and there was no mistake to it at all! Be it the location or the timing, there was not the slightest deviation!
How the fuck did he do that? And he had his eyes closed?
It must have been a wild attempt, right!?
Everyone immediately determined that Shi Xiaobai's shot had been a wild, but lucky attempt. However, they quickly overthrew their judgment the next second, because they suddenly recalled the various anomalies that had happened during the ability test!
Why was Shi Xiaobai closing his eyes the entire time?
Why did Shi Xiaobai retort with a question "will you really agree to anything This King wants?" after Riko Minamiya made such a promise?
Why did Shi Xiaobai immediately hit the target after receiving a definite answer?
This was because everything was self-written, self-directed and self-acted by Shi Xiaobai!
Shi Xiaobai knew about the bet between Riko Minamiya and Mu Hongli, hence, he knew that Riko Minamiya was afraid that he would receive zero points! That was why he purposely closed his eyes to pretend like he had given up, so as to force Riko Minamiya into a desperate situation. From that, he received Riko Minamiya’s promise to "agree to anything"! And the crux of the problem was that Shi Xiaobai had to hit the target in his final shoot, if not, all the work he had done before would have been in vain. But with such a grandiose scheme, he definitely could not risk it on the last shot, yet he had shot out an anticipatory shot. Clearly, it was not a wild attempt,
but because he had sufficient confidence and conviction!
Everyone present was clever, so they quickly deduced the truth and drew a gasp in unison! Under that silly exterior of Shi Xiaobai hid such a dark and scheming heart?
And the crux of the issue was, how did he do it with that anticipatory shot at the very last moment?
The first person who thought of the answer was the most experienced elder. After the astonishment from having been enlightened, he shouted, "I know! This is one of the Six Senses of God!"
The eyes of the middle-aged man beside him lit up, and he immediately added, "Humans have six senses. They are the sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch as well as perception! And for some very talented people, their sixth sense can reach a God-like state. As such, it is called the Six Senses of God!"
The middle-aged woman recovered from her daze and lauded, "Perception is also termed the sixth sense. It is the most mysterious sense. If it's the Perception of God from the Six Senses of God, then it would be completely reasonably to be able to anticipate the location of the target!"
The three older people revealed the truth in a few sentences.
The elder took a deep breath and looked at Shi Xiaobai, asking, "Shi Xiaobai, do you really have the Perception of God?"
Shi Xiaobai was still in a dazed state, unable to believe that he had managed to hit the target with a wild attempt! Upon hearing the elder's question, Shi Xiaobai's furrowed his eyebrows before relaxing them moments later.
"This King was once a member of the race of God. Since the Perception of God has the word God in it, then This King definitely has it!"
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai nodded at the elder and said, "Of course!"
The elder smiled with relief as he sighed, saying, "The Six Senses of God are so rare that it's comparable to a Psyker at A Class and above, let alone that you have the strongest Perception of God out of the Six Senses of God. Dual S Class talent, coupled with Perception of God. Child, your future is beyond measure!"
At this moment, everyone looked at Shi Xiaobai with complicated expressions, as if they were seeing a humanoid monster!

Chapter16 You Are This King's Person
Shi Xiaobai did not realize the strange gazes from everyone, because at this moment, a familiar and fiery voice was resounding in his mind.
"Absolute Choice completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an 'E-level reward'—A-level reward fragment (10%). Currently, the amount of A-level reward fragments you possess is 10%!"
Shi Xiaobai immediately experienced mixed emotions. Although the accumulation of lower level rewards could combine into a higher level reward, he had not received any substantial reward, making him unhappy; but then again, he had managed to hit the hundredth target by luck after all, so he could not help but feel a little excited.
"There is indeed nothing This King can't do!"
The confidence Shi Xiaobai nearly lost was restored and had even increased. As he praised himself happily in his mind, he finally recalled an unforgettable agreement he had with Riko. Upon recalling how the Violent Girl had said "I'll agreed to anything you want", Shi Xiaobai's heartbeat began to palpitate. He immediately turned to look at the seats on the right, but he saw a girl walking towards him.
Shi Xiaobai was still unaware of the strange silence in the room, as well as the complicated looks everyone had. He only had eyes for the girl with the ponytail, as a fiery voice slowly spat out from his mouth.
"Girl, from this moment onwards, you are This King's person!"
The silence in the room was immediately shattered.
...
As the people in the room considered the various anomalies during Shi Xiaobai's ability test, they naturally came to the conclusion that Shi Xiaobai had machinated a meticulous scheme. However, there were two doubts they could not shrug off from their minds. One of them was how did Shi Xiaobai manage to pull off his anticipatory shot? Thankfully, the three older people—with their rich experience—revealed the truth to everyone. Everyone was extremely astonished, as they began to realize how they couldn't comprehend this silly youth who proclaimed himself "King".
Hence, the second doubt immediately became the thing that held the greatest suspense—What was Shi Xiaobai scheming? What request did he want Riko to fulfill? Towards such a young and beautiful girl with such a good figure, what sort of request would he have? Could it be...
As everyone's hearts were filled with suspicion, Shi Xiaobai revealed the truth himself!
Shi Xiaobai had said to Riko—"From this moment onwards, you are This King's person"! Holy shit. This person was actually coveting Miss Riko! Fuck, this kind of silent sexual predator was the worst. He acted silly and dumb, but he secretly had a mind more corrupt than anyone. And most critical of all, this pervert was an uber-genius with dual S level natural endowment and Perception of God! Fuck, this world is so unfair!
Everyone affirmed their guesses in their hearts, as they immediately gave Shi Xiaobai strange looks.
The one with the most intense reaction was naturally Riko. She had not spent much time with Shi Xiaobai yet, but she refused to believe that Shi Xiaobai would make any corrupted requests. However, she did not expect Shi Xiaobai to immediately claim her as his own. Riko was immediately extremely embarrassed.
Realizing Shi Xiaobai was about to open his mouth to speak again, she was afraid he would say something dreadful. Riko immediately charged at Shi Xiaobai like a ferocious beast!
Using the fastest speed in her life, Riko charged straight in front of Shi Xiaobai and grabbed his neck with one hand, covering his mouth with the other. At the same time, she shouted, "Shut up!"
While breathing rapidly, she leaned towards Shi Xiaobai's ear and gnashed her teeth and, in a mild voice, she said, "If there's anything you want to say, do it later!"
Riko did not want to embarrass themselves any further in front of everybody. Besides, if Shi Xiaobai made an excessive demand, she could not resort to violence in front of so many people. When they were alone, she could then brazenly "reject" Shi Xiaobai.
While fantasizing how she would bash Shi Xiaobai up to the point of him begging on his knees, pleading for mercy, Riko did not realize how suggestive it looked with her grabbing Shi Xiaobai by the neck from the back. Her well-developed chest was tightly adhered to Shi Xiaobai's back, squeezed tightly like cotton.
Shi Xiaobai felt a soft and extremely elastic feeling and could not help but turn to look at the girl's weapon.
"Is this the legendary magic—Ball Dribble Charging*? I heard that this magic attack can weaken the vitality of male biological beings! Oh, does Violent Girl want to harm This King?"
Shi Xiaobai was panic-stricken as he immediately wanted to shout "distance yourself from This King", but as his mouth was covered, he could only produce muffled "Wu Wu Wu" sounds as his body kept struggling.
Shi Xiaobai's struggling immediately caused their bodies to rub. Finally, Riko realized something odd and, tracing Shi Xiaobai's gaze, she realized her chest was tightly clinging to Shi Xiaobai's back and, due to Shi Xiaobai's struggling, was even...
"Ah~ Pervert!"
Riko's face immediately turned red as she retreated backwards while screaming. She stretched out her hands to cover her chest, as she realized how this sacred area, which had never been touched before, had just been nudged here and there by this thirteen-year-old youth. Immediately, she was too deep for tears.
After a moment of embarrassment, she grabbed Shi Xiaobai by the collar and directly dragged Shi Xiaobai to the door. She coldly said to everyone else in the room, "The test is over. We will be leaving first!" With that, she dragged Shi Xiaobai out of the room with a face full of murderous intent.
After the duo left, the people left in the room remained in their petrified states. The things that happened today were just too weird, shocking and fucking capable of rendering you speechless!
After a long while, only when the elder said, "Let's disperse," did everyone disperse with preoccupied thoughts.
The elder sighed. Regardless of Shi Xiaobai's personality, he was destined to be a talent [Gaia] would develop with all it had. The organization would not interfere with his private matters, but Riko Minamiya's status was somewhat special. This matter was probably going to be very complicated!
...
Shi Xiaobai was pulled to a dark corner by Riko with a bewildered look. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he realized the girl's eyes were reddish, and tears were beginning to well up.
"Girl...You.." Shi Xiaobai was stunned.
"Shi Xiaobai, I said I would agree to anything."
Riko's voice was so cold that it seemed like a slab of ice from the Arctic. "Say it now, what is your request?"
Riko stared intently at Shi Xiaobai. She was originally extremely angry, but the more she thought, the more depressed she felt. She did not hate that silly young boy who had eight-grader syndrome and was even very willing to be his friend. So even up to this point, her heart still retained the last bit of trust. Of course, now was the moment she gave Shi Xiaobai the benefit of the doubt. If she heard words that made her disgusted from his mouth, then she did not mind educating this misguided child.
Shi Xiaobai could sense Riko's seriousness and earnestness from her eyes and mannerism. As such, his expression also gradually turned serious. He said with a bitter heart, "Girl, as expected, you still aren't willing to sign a contract with This King?"
"Ah?" Riko froze.
Shi Xiaobai sighed and said, "You said that you would agree to any request from This King! This King doesn't have many requests, all This King wants is to sign a contract with you!"
Riko finally realized that something wasn't right. She asked curiously, "Signing a contract.. What...does it mean?"
Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up and used a fiery voice to say, "Becoming an aide of This King, joining Xiaobai's Hero Squad, so as to save the world with This King!"
Riko was dumbfounded as she asked, "Then, just now, when you said I am your person, what did that mean?"
