125: Lin Zhiyun, who has a very low sense of presence.
“Just inject Qi into it, and you’re good to go. There’s a small Formation on the back of the student ID that’s used to store points, kind of like… virtual currency.” Zhou Mingbai replied immediately upon hearing this.
After Shen Xingyu injected Qi into it as instructed, the student ID suddenly glowed faintly, then slowly projected a string of numbers.
“600”
Zhou Mingbai looked at it, utterly incredulous: “How can there be 600?”
Shen Xingyu looked at the numbers on it, pondered for a moment, then said, “You said before that there would be corresponding point rewards for gaining military merits, right?”
Zhou Mingbai nodded in response: “That’s right.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately reacted, his incredulity instantly turning into shock: “Don’t tell me you already have military merits right after enrolling?”
Shen Xingyu shook his head upon hearing this.
“No, I had them before enrollment.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingbai was utterly stunned.
At this moment, his gaze towards Shen Xingyu changed. He thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a suitable word, so he could only give Shen Xingyu a thumbs up: “Awesome!”
Afterward, Zhou Mingbai began to try and persuade him.
“Junior, Lin Menglan’s odds are very high right now. If you trust me, bet 100 points on Li Xuantong, and I guarantee you’ll make a profit!”
Shen Xingyu looked at him suspiciously upon hearing this.
“Then why don’t I bet 100 points on Lin Menglan? If she goes all out and wins, wouldn’t I earn even more?”
There’s never a shortage of gamblers in a crowd, and Shen Xingyu was one of them.
Zhou Mingbai grinned upon hearing this, kindly reminding him: “Junior, I’ll tell you secretly, Lin Menglan’s chances of winning this time are very small. If you bet on her, you’ll probably lose everything.”
At this moment, Lin Qingran suddenly spoke: “Just bet on Lin Menglan. We’ll bet 1200.”
Saying this, Lin Qingran also took out her student ID.
Zhou Mingbai looked at Lin Qingran, who had just spoken, with a look of astonishment.
As expected of a family, one is a gambler, and the other goes all in directly.
“No, Junior, you might not be very clear, but points are still very useful in the school.”
Zhou Mingbai wiped his cold sweat and said.
Lin Qingran didn’t say a word upon hearing this, looking at Shen Xingyu and giving him a reassuring look.
In her previous life, Lin Menglan and she had a very good relationship. When they first met, Lin Menglan had just become the head of the Freshman Department’s law enforcement team. The reason she was able to successfully take on this position was because she successfully defeated Li Xuantong and topped the Prodigy Ranking.
Seeing this, Shen Xingyu took Lin Qingran’s student ID, then looked at Zhou Mingbai: “Bet!”
Zhou Mingbai scratched his head: “Alright.”
Originally, he saw that the other party was his direct junior and kindly offered a reminder, but if the other party didn’t listen, he couldn’t do anything about it.
Then Zhou Mingbai transferred all the points from both their student IDs.
“Uh, I hope Lin Menglan can win.”
Zhou Mingbai could only say this to them. After speaking, he quickly ran away.
Then Shen Xingyu put his arm around Lin Qingran’s waist and began to leisurely watch the competition in the arena.
He naturally trusted Lin Qingran. Since she said to bet on Lin Menglan, there must be her reasons.
Lin Qingran turned her head to look at the relaxed Shen Xingyu and suddenly asked, “Aren’t you afraid of losing everything?”
Shen Xingyu smiled at Lin Qingran upon hearing this: “If we lose it all, we lose it all. Besides, with your personality, you wouldn’t do something you’re not confident about.”
Lin Qingran lightly pursed her lips upon hearing this, and a strange feeling spread in her heart.
This feeling of being trusted was truly wonderful.
…
At this moment, the competition between Li Xuantong and Lin Menglan on the field had already begun.
Li Xuantong transformed into a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, his entire body instantly covered in golden scales. On his forehead, two Dragon horns also grew out, emitting a faint Aura.
The audience outside the arena instantly erupted in cheers.
“Brother Tong is mighty!”
“Brother Tong, crush that woman!”
“Crush? How to crush?”
“Get lost!”
Lin Menglan looked at the other party’s Aura, a solemn expression on her cold and beautiful face.
She had been preparing for this martial arts competition for a very long time. This time, she had to win in one fell swoop!
As soon as she thought of this, raging flames ignited around Lin Menglan’s body, and her light purple hair now transformed into a fiery red.
With a wave of her small hand, a long fiery whip appeared in her hand.
“Sister Lin, go for it!”
“Captain, go for it!”
Listening to the voices from the audience, Lin Menglan smiled slightly, then stopped talking nonsense and directly attacked Li Xuantong.
For a time, the arena was filled with dazzling displays.
Both sides were testing each other in the early stages, so they fought back and forth, evenly matched.
Shen Xingyu watched the two fighting with great interest from below the stage. Observing other people’s fights indeed allowed him to discover many problems within himself.
And just then, a fragrant breeze swept past Shen Xingyu’s front.
Shen Xingyu couldn’t help but look up. This scent, he always felt it was inexplicably familiar.
He focused his gaze and only then vaguely saw a figure.
Seeing this, Shen Xingyu called out to the other party: “Lin Zhiyun.”
The figure was startled by the sudden sound, almost dropping the broom in her hand.
Then she looked back and saw Shen Xingyu waving at her.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyun raised her eyebrows slightly, responded to Shen Xingyu, then quickly lowered her head and continued to clean.
Seeing this, Shen Xingyu pursed his lips. For some reason, he always felt that the other party was like a transparent person, with an extremely low sense of presence.
He came back to his senses and saw Lin Qingran looking at him with a puzzled expression.
“Who were you talking to just now?”
“Ah? A girl I just met today. She’s working here to support herself.”
Lin Qingran frowned upon hearing this, then looked again at where Shen Xingyu had been looking before, but she still couldn’t see the person’s figure.
Seeing this, Shen Xingyu raised an eyebrow, then looked towards Lin Zhiyun’s direction again. He searched for a long time among the crowd before he vaguely saw her figure.
Then he pointed to Lin Qingran: “The one cleaning up trash over there is her.”
Lin Qingran looked in the direction Shen Xingyu was pointing, but she searched for a long time and still couldn’t see her.
She shook her head at Shen Xingyu.
Seeing this, Shen Xingyu was immediately somewhat confused.
“Ranran, can’t you see her?”
Lin Qingran nodded doubtfully.
Shen Xingyu swallowed. He remembered that before, in the cultivation room, he and Li Xuanzong had stayed inside for a long time without noticing Lin Zhiyun’s presence, until she came forward to speak, and only then did Shen Xingyu notice the girl.
Moreover, every time he looked at the girl just now, he would briefly lose focus and couldn’t find her location.
What was going on?
