Chapter 574: Chapter 10: Ransom (Part 2)


Zhang Yiyi is a typical Northern girl, tall and maturing early, with a cute look to boot. This man, who looks like the Black Tower, is probably in his twenties, and exudes an aura of toughness. Owing a favor to someone like him is not easy to repay.


"This senior? How much in cash or Heaven-defying Value did Yiyi spend altogether?" Xiao Xian looked at the big bag of food and daily necessities with a hidden pain in his heart. When Yiyi left, she only brought a Zhang Heaven Card, needless to say, these items were also bought by this imposing senior. Men who are unreasonably good to women are definitely not well-intentioned.


"Are you planning to help her repay it?" These new students just don’t think ahead. Wang Shuai didn’t have any ill intentions; it was just that today, when he saw Yiyi’s odd posture climbing walls and her pleading look in the supermarket, holding an ice cream cone like a pleading puppy, he softened up and let her buy a bunch of stuff.


However, Xiao Xian’s words just now didn’t escape his ears. Comparing him to those lowly Intermediate Class students on the Campus BBS? That was an insult indeed.


No good deed goes unpunished, might as well clear the accounts once and for all, "Five hundred for the going out fee, the rest of the goods valued according to the material center’s cost, let’s give a discounted rate."


"I want to repay with Heaven-defying Value. Can’t I use money instead?" Zhang Yiyi balked at the thought of converting the cost into Heaven-defying Value.


"No can do, Baozi Face, you’re stepping on the ground of North Campus, you have to follow the rules here. Or would you prefer we settle this according to the forum post you mentioned?" Wang Shuai looked at Zhang Yiyi’s puffed-up face, barely resisting the urge to pinch it.


"Stop, don’t move," Xiao Xian swiftly pulled her away, adopting a protective stance like a mother hen guarding her chick, her eyes blatantly spelling out the words, "Pervert, don’t come any closer."


"You want to chalk it up at the Heaven-defying Value, do you? Then abide by the rules of the material center and sell it at half price. Otherwise, you can take your stuff back and I’ll count 500 Heaven-defying Value for you," Xiao Xian glanced at the bag that Zhang Yiyi was gripping to death, and after confirming the contents, he felt confident.


"The newbie knows the ropes quite well," Wang Shuai gestured to Zhang Yiyi who thought for a moment and then handed over the bag.


Lollipops, sunflower seeds, potato chips, cotton candy, stockings, and the most absurd, sanitary pads.


Wang Shuai snorted coldly, "Half price it is," taking the bag back would cause him embarrassment if seen by others – he wouldn’t be able to mix in North Campus anymore.


"Thank you, senior," Xiao Xian nodded in satisfaction, and the three walked towards the strategic material center, looking for a Heaven Card machine to make the transfer.


"Romeo One, need your assistance," Xiao Xian handed over the bag of snacks and daily necessities, having them priced by the robot should be most fair.


"Senior Brother Wang, with all your money, why bother calculating these small expenses with us?" Zhang Yiyi took the opportunity to sneak some potato chip bags while Wang Shuai pretended not to see.


"The total is 1080 Heaven-defying Value," with the going out fee, that’s 1580. Wang Shuai certainly didn’t believe that a new Beginner Class student like Xiao Xian who had just arrived could pay such a sum.


It really hurt, Xiao Xian reluctantly pulled out her freshly upgraded Heaven Card.


"Xiao Xian, how did you get so much Heaven-defying Value all of a sudden?" Xiao Xian really wanted to tape Zhang Yiyi’s mouth shut; wealth should not be flaunted, yet she’s broadcasting it loudly.


The amount over 10,000 Heaven-defying Value wasn’t enough to surprise Wang Shuai, but such a figure in the possession of an ordinary Beginner student certainly demanded attention.


"Hold on, where did this money come from?" Wang Shuai did not immediately take out his Heaven Card to transfer.


"Not from stealing or robbing, it’s legitimately earned," Xiao Xian answered truthfully.


"Did you pass the various stages of Class C compartment trials? If your answer satisfies me, I’ll treat this purchase, including the going out fee, as my treat for that Baozi Face," Wang Shuai pointed to Zhang Yiyi and the unimpressive bag of groceries.


Zhang Yiyi protested loudly on the side, insisting she wasn’t a Baozi Face but just had baby fat.


To tell or not to tell, Xiao Xian pondered, "Three times."


"The result for the last trial evaluation," Wang Shuai’s tone became urgent.


"Special Class," in the brief interaction and after witnessing the interplay between Wang Shuai and Yiyi, Senior Brother Wang didn’t seem like a bad guy.


"Special rewards? Then your future lesson scenes are Wanlin Hills?" Wang Shuai changed his previous tone, addressing her in a nearly courteous manner.


"Yes," Xiao Xian had not entered the lesson mode for a second time yet, but judging from the fact that the Wanlin Hills scene was preserved, it seemed likely.


"Special Class? Oh, I’m so useless, I didn’t even pass," Zhang Yiyi’s face fell, and she went silent after receiving a disdainful look from Wang Shuai.


"What can you provide to prove that everything you’ve said is true?" Wang Shuai wasn’t thoroughly convinced by Xiao Xian’s words. Even with a high-value Heaven-defying Value, it did not guarantee that everything Xiao Xian said was true.


In North Campus, there were many ways to strike it rich overnight. Plus, a young and attractive new student like Xiao Xian is quite tempting to many male students.


"I have medicinal herbs collected from three test scenes; I only brought these three types with me," Xiao Xian only had three kinds of twenty-year-old medicinal herbs that she collected from Wanlin Hills.


Twenty-year-old shengdi, Pueraria Root, and Poria.


Wang Shuai took the herbs and examined them closely. He had been sorted into Intermediate Class upon entry, so although he participated in the Class Special Course, he forever lost the chance to experience the Beginner Class Special Course.


"Romeo One, give back her Heaven Card," as soon as Wang Shuai finished speaking, Romeo One instantly returned the card to Xiao Xian.


It seems like Romeo One was quite familiar with Wang Shuai.


"Let’s make a deal. If things work out, I’ll cover all your expenses in North Campus," Wang Shuai offered an attractive deal, believing that no female student could refuse such a bid in North Campus.


"A deal? Sorry, we’re not selling," Xiao Xian grabbed Zhang Yiyi and ran out of the supply center like a shot without looking back.


Xiao Xian had severely misunderstood Wang Shuai’s intentions.


Seeing the two running away, Wang Shuai didn’t chase after them, instead, touching his face and muttering, "Have I got the face of a villain? Forget it, sooner or later you’ll know that life in North Campus is tough without support." (To be continued.
