14: Chapter 14 Let's Go See the Meteors

In Classroom 102 of the main teaching building at Jiangzhou University, a few students were scattered about.

There were still 30 minutes before class, so not many students had arrived yet.

In the second row sat a college student about 1.8 meters tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses and looking somewhat refined and handsome; at this moment, he was clutching a set of silver needles.

That's right!

This person was Jiang Lan.

"Da da da!"

Su Yutong, with long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing black stockings and a black short skirt, walked in through the back door of the classroom, swaying her hips; a faint scent of perfume could be smelled from several meters away.

Her best friend, "The Tank," followed beside her, making her graceful figure appear even more slender and beautiful by contrast.

"Eh? Yutong, look quickly!

Jiang Lan actually took the initiative to sit in the second row!

That simp,

He must be here to apologize to you.

Don't forgive him later;

You must humiliate him thoroughly

To let him know

How to be a proper, qualified simp!"

Su Yutong's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked in the direction her friend "The Tank" was pointing.

Sure enough!

Jiang Lan was sitting diagonally behind her seat, clearly trying to get back into her good graces!

"Wow! Yutong,

Jiang Lan is actually holding silver needles,

The kind used for traditional Chinese acupuncture.

Heavens!

I'm almost moved.

How does he know you're on your period these two days?

He even specifically went to learn acupuncture;

This is simply too considerate!

I think among your many simps,

He is the most considerate and meticulous one!"

Honestly, Su Yutong really was a bit moved at this moment, and she silently forgave Jiang Lan for refusing the date yesterday.

Su Yutong mentally hooked Jiang Lan back into her "fish pond" and marked him with the number [Two].

That's right!

He was Simp Number Two.

Because the position of Simp Number One had to be reserved for that rich kid from the Business School who had more money than brains; after all, that rich kid was truly wealthy.

Although he wasn't as earnest or comfortable as Jiang Lan in his simping, he could at least give her an LV bag or a solid gold bracelet or necklace every week.

Su Yutong's mood instantly brightened. Humming a little tune, she skipped to her seat like a fawn playing by a stream.

She took out her phone, opened Green Bubble, and sent a message to Jiang Lan.

"Seeing how much effort you've put in,

I'll temporarily forgive you for yesterday's matter,

But don't let there be a next time~

Also, I heard there's a meteor shower tonight.

Accompany me to the summit of Jiangzhou Mountain to camp,

And we'll watch the shooting stars together."

In the past, Su Yutong wouldn't have wasted time messaging Jiang Lan; at most, she would have used him as a lackey to fetch water, buy breakfast, or pick up deliveries.

But things were different now. Jiang Lan's parents had suddenly died in a car accident and left a 1 million yuan compensation payout, and she heard there were also several hundred thousand in savings!

To be honest, over a million wasn't a huge amount, but for an undergraduate student, it was already an astronomical figure—at least enough to catch Su Yutong's eye.

After sending the message, a blush appeared on Su Yutong's exquisite face, and she looked back at Jiang Lan shyly.

It had been a while, and Jiang Lan still hadn't replied. That shouldn't be!

Jiang Lan was the most famous simp in the entire school; he always replied to messages in seconds, even in the middle of the night!

How could it be that after quite a while, Jiang Lan still hadn't replied!

Su Yutong looked at her phone again, and her face instantly darkened. A red exclamation mark!

Jiang Lan had actually... deleted her!

The message couldn't be sent at all!

The corners of Su Yutong's mouth twitched slightly. Her small, tightly clenched fists had pale fingertips as she fiercely hooked Jiang Lan out of her fish pond again!

Fine, Jiang Lan, you just wait. No matter how much you simp in the future, I will never, ever forgive you!

There were only 2 minutes left before class officially started.

Suddenly!

A faint, subtle fragrance wafted over!

This scent was so familiar!

Jiang Lan looked up, and a beautiful figure entered his sight.

In his past life, this figure had appeared in Jiang Lan's dreams countless times.

"In my past life, I owed you too much.

In this life,

I will never let you suffer any harm again!"

This person was Jiang Lan's classmate from primary school, middle school, high school, and university—Jiang Shuyue.

"Ding!"

The class bell rang. The female teacher, who still retained her charm, began to lecture while swaying her hips. Jiang Lan lowered his head, took out his phone, and opened the game qixian continent.

"Eh? Why is there a little guy sitting in my lap!

This... nine tails,

Emitting cold air all over its body,

This is?

Holy crap!

Could this be the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox?"

[☞ Spend 0 yuan, do not bind.]

Holy crap!

It really is the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox!

In his memories of his past life, the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox was obtained six months after the server opened by a player from the Ice Extreme Sect at Qi Refining Level Twelve.

But not long after, that Ice Extreme Sect player was ambushed and killed. Later, the whereabouts of the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox became unknown, and the final legend was that it fell into the hands of the Beggars Sect Saintess [Saintess].

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan discovered a serious problem: his actions in the game would cause a series of chain reactions!

The result was that many outcomes from his past life would change accordingly!

For example, because he drew the void cauldron during the server-opening lottery, it triggered a celestial phenomenon. The Ancient Desolate Secret Realm, which was supposed to open six months later, had opened early!

The Divine Beast Nine-Tailed Ice Fox, which was supposed to fall into the hands of the Beggars Sect Saintess [Saintess] six months later, had now actually fallen into his hands!

That's right, this is the Butterfly Effect!

Jiang Lan hesitated!

Yes, he hesitated!

Because according to the current pay-to-win level of the game, the 9.4 million he topped up into his account...

Would likely be spent within ten days!

Although the Player Exchange would open one month after the server launch, at which point Jiang Lan could take the equipment, Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and Spirit Stones dropped in the game... upgrade them to High Grade, and then sell them on consignment!

He could easily sell them for over a billion!

But the premise was that he had to hold out until then!

Jiang Lan opened his account balance to take a look.

He didn't know until he looked,

And looking gave him a shock,

Of the 9.4 million topped up on the first day of the server launch,

Only 8.32 million was left now!

He had actually spent 1.07 million on the very first day!

"Stupid game planners!"

In his heart,

Jiang Lan once again cordially greeted the entire families of the game planners.

After a long period of internal struggle, Jiang Lan finally gritted his teeth.

He chose [Spend 1.98 million yuan to permanently bind the Divine Beast Nine-Tailed Ice Fox. Once bound, it will become your Life-Bound Spirit Beast and will not be dropped upon death. Activates Divine Beast Skill [Three]. The Divine Beast can evolve.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the player, the Divine Beast Nine-Tailed Ice Fox has been successfully bound!]
