“No, don't leave!”
Seeing everyone leaving without paying him any mind,
Chen Shu hurriedly tried to stop them, saying, “If you don't have money, you can give me lord materials! I accept academic credits too!”
“Alright, you're really something!”
Liu Feng walked over and said, “Who in their right mind holds a banquet for themselves?”
“There are still two exams left. If you dare to miss them again…”
He patted Chen Shu’s shoulder and whispered a sentence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shu trembled and immediately shouted, “I promise I'll participate for sure!”
Watching Liu Feng’s departing back, Wang Jue and A Liang both came over.
“What did Teacher Liu say to you?”
The two were filled with curiosity. What could possibly scare the Southern Jiang Bandit?
“He said if I don't take the exams, he’ll burn all my… urea bags!”
“…”
The two looked at him in unison, not quite understanding.
A Liang said, “What’s the big deal about that? I thought it was something serious!”
“You don’t understand!”
Chen Shu shook his head and said, “Even if they burned you two, they couldn't burn my urea bags!”
“???”
The three brushed off the dirt from their clothes and returned to their dormitory.
“You guys didn't notify me today?”
Chen Shu sat on the sofa. He had faced a life-or-death crisis and lost two hundred academic credits!
“Notify what? I didn't even see your ghost!”
A Liang turned to look at him and asked, “Seriously, how much money did you make today?”
“I’m already preparing to quit the entertainment industry!”
Chen Shu sighed and said, “The water in there is too deep, I can’t handle it!”
“That’s good then!”
Wang Jue leaned in and said, “Why don't we do an alien space run? Won't that make more money than being a star?”
“Makes sense!”
Chen Shu stroked his chin. The three of them were now Black Iron rank and could be considered a small beast-taming team.
A bandit’s glint appeared in his eyes as he said, “Do you two have time during the winter break?”
“Yes! Absolutely!”
The two street punks immediately nodded.
They lacked everything except time!
The first-year courses were quite demanding, leaving little free time for hunting in alien spaces. They could only wait for the holidays.
“Then keep an eye out recently for any Dangerous-grade alien spaces!”
The three nodded and returned to their rooms to begin revising.
There was an exam the next day and the day after, and the day after the exams, winter break would officially begin.
Time flew by.
The remaining two exams were completed successfully.
One of them was in material science, Chen Shu’s specialty. He had memorized all sorts of precious treasures by heart.
“Winter break!”
The first-year students were all beaming with joy. Most of them were leaving home for the first time for such a long period, and their eagerness to return home was immense.
In dormitory 333 of the Academic Building,
A Liang and Wang Jue were packing their respective belongings, preparing to go home.
Chen Shu calmly asked, “A Liang, have you found a suitable alien space yet?”
A Liang shook his head and said, “Not yet. Let's deal with that after the New Year!”
“Chen Shu, aren't you going home for the New Year?”
Wang Jue turned to look at him and asked.
“Are you stupid? The Southern Jiang Bandit has long been blacklisted by everyone in the city.”
A Liang said, “In that situation, would you go back?”
“How could I?!”
Chen Shu sneered and said, “You two didn't see it. The day I left Nanjiang City, the entire city came out to see me off. They were crying buckets!”
A Liang nodded and said, “It seems the people of Nanjiang City have high emotional intelligence, learning to disguise their joy with tears!”
“…”
Chen Shu shook his head and said no more. In fact, he thought the way people saw him off back then was a bit strange.
It was as if they wanted to laugh but couldn’t…
“Are you really not leaving?”
A Liang shouldered his bag, dragged his suitcase, and was ready to leave.
Wang Jue, on the other hand, had nothing in his hands. Having a spatial-type small bird certainly made things more convenient.
“I'll wait for Old Xie and Xiao Xing. We’ll go back together then! You two go ahead!”
Chen Shu lay on the sofa, eating ice cream, looking extremely leisurely.
“Then goodbye!”
The two said, turned, and left.
“I’ve actually become the dorm’s caretaker…”
Chen Shu shook his head, holding a driver’s license, and muttered, “I need to buy a car first!”
In less than a month, he had obtained his driver’s license, much faster than in his previous world.
…
“Can I test drive this car?”
Chen Shu arrived at the 4S shop next to the academy and randomly picked a car.
The value of the car was unimportant. As long as it had a Huaxia Academy license plate, even a bucket of shit would turn into a golden basin!
Ten minutes later,
“Brother, we… don't… have to drive this fast, do we…”
The salesperson in the passenger seat looked terrified, tightly gripping the grab handle.
“It’s fine!”
Chen Shu smiled and floored the accelerator.
“Don’t worry, I graduated from Crazy Speed Driving School!”
Just then, a car from behind actually overtook him.
“Damn it! Overtaking me?”
Chen Shu frowned, stepped on the accelerator again, and took advantage of the upcoming corner to successfully overtake it.
“Fast around corners is truly fast. Who the hell can’t accelerate in a straight line?”
“…”
The salesperson twitched his lips, his heart in a panic.
Are you sure you graduated from driving school? Overtaking on a corner?!
At this moment, Chen Shu smiled and asked:
“Brother, what do you think we’re living for?”
“???”
The salesperson’s body trembled violently. You're asking me this now?!
“Brother, the lowest price is two hundred thousand, I really can’t go any lower!”
“Is this a matter of money?”
Chen Shu nodded, his lips curling, and he slowed down.
After another half hour of driving,
The salesperson’s expression turned unpleasant again.
“Brother, why are you going to the highway entrance?”
“I want to go back to Nanjiang City to take a look and familiarize myself with the route!”
“???”
The salesperson twitched his lips and said, “Brother, no one test drives like this!”
This was the first time he had encountered such a customer, who wanted to leave the city? This was utterly absurd!
Finally, after his repeated persuasion, Chen Shu gave up on entering the highway. He drove around the city for a while before paying and driving the car away that same day.
As soon as Chen Shu returned to the academy, he immediately got a Huaxia Academy license plate for the car.
Relying on the bandit's charisma, he successfully obtained Huaxia Academy license plate number 666.
The license plate number to some extent represented one's strength within the academy.
Chen Shu's current strength was formidable, at least ranking in the top fifty of the academy, but since he was only a first-year, he could only get a lower-ranked plate.
January 20th,
Chen Shu packed his bags and headed to Xie Su Nan’s and Xu Xing Xing’s schools to pick them up.
As for Zhang Da Li, he was staying at the school because he had won the Super Nova Cup championship. His mentor planned to focus on cultivating him, even believing he had the potential to win the highest honor of God of Cookery!
“Old Xie, you’re really dawdling!”
Chen Shu and Xu Xing Xing had been waiting for a long time, and it wasn't until noon that they saw Xie Su Nan slowly exit the school gate.
“No choice, the school has a late holiday.”
Xie Su Nan put his luggage in the trunk and sat in the back seat of the car.
He said, “But our principal said that although we have a late holiday, at least we get to come back early!”
