Roommate, Water of Life

Amidst Lin Xuan's bewildered state,

the two exchanged contact information.

He truly couldn't have imagined that a seemingly delicate front desk girl was actually a third-tier powerhouse!

"Sister Xiao, I'm heading back now. See you when you're free."

Lin Xuan bid farewell to the head of the Jianghai City Spark Guild and returned to the Mingzhu University outer campus.

Today was August 30th, with one day left until the start of the semester.

The campus was already bustling.

Many people were gathered in front of the stone tablet in the outer campus, discussing amongst themselves.

Various corners of the campus were also filled with small groups of students in twos and threes.

However, as Lin Xuan got closer to his dormitory villa, the number of students around gradually decreased.

"I wonder who my roommates will be?"

Mingzhu University's student accommodation area is divided into nine zones, from one to nine.

Lin Xuan lived in zone nine, number sixty-two.

The villa could house four people.

However, those assigned here were at least top scorers.

Lin Xuan was quite looking forward to finding out who his roommates would be.

When he returned to the three-story villa,

the lights were on in the first floor and in the room opposite his bedroom on the third floor.

"Only one roommate has arrived?"

Lin Xuan walked into the first-floor living room.

On the villa's central control, he only saw the registered information for the third-floor roommate: Ling Fei, Nanhai City.

"A student from Nanhai City." Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed.

Nanhai City was one of the five super major cities, the largest major city on the southern coast of Xia Kingdom.

To be able to win the top spot there, his strength was probably not weak.

Recalling the potential dragon list he had seen, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered Ling Fei's information.

potential dragon list sixth, hidden profession, Holy Envoy of Light.

Possessing an S-rank talent!

"Holy Envoy of Light, so he's a healer then?"

"A healer being able to be the top scorer in Nanhai City, it seems his family's influence isn't small."

As Lin Xuan was thinking, he seemed to hear the sound of his return.

The sound of someone coming downstairs rang out.

Soon, a somewhat robust, slightly plump young man appeared from behind the stairs.

Upon seeing Lin Xuan, his eyes lit up. He approached and extended his hand.

"You're Lin Xuan, right? Hello, I'm Ling Fei, from..."

"Eh—?! It's you?!"

"Heh heh, it's me, Lin Xuan from Jiangcheng." Lin Xuan awkwardly smiled and shook hands with Ling Fei.

This Ling Fei was none other than the professional who had chased him for two li when he first contracted the Skeletal Dragon Irena in the Divine Grace Cemetery.

At that time, Ling Fei wore a cross on his chest and carried a large hammer on his back.

Lin Xuan hadn't exchanged many words with him then.

He never expected them to become roommates now.

Ling Fei also reacted at this moment.

However, he had a good personality and quickly started chatting happily with Lin Xuan.

After the two chatted in the living room for a while, they each returned to their bedrooms.

Early the next morning,

Lin Xuan got up early, preparing to find Teacher Li Ming to deal with the life water matter.

"Hoo—ha—"

Coming to the first-floor living room, Lin Xuan found that Ling Fei was already awake.

He had his personal panel open, with his character ID displayed, and was exercising in the large living room on the first floor with an air hammer.

Hmm... alright.

This clearly indicated that he was likely someone who didn't believe in main DPS.

Especially with the ID displayed above his head—Villages Only Veterinarian.

A healer taking this name... it's quite something.

"Morning, Lin Xuan."

"Morning."

After exchanging greetings, Ling Fei stopped his movements and asked, "Are you going to have breakfast?"

"No, I have something to take care of outside today."

Ling Fei was a very outgoing person.

With a beard, he excitedly came up to Lin Xuan.

"You're not going to find those two beauties, are you? Introduce them to your brother, won't you?"

"What beauties?" Lin Xuan was a bit curious, "Did someone come looking for me?"

"Yeah, you didn't know?" Ling Fei tossed the air hammer onto the sofa and explained with a smile.

"Two little beauties came looking for you twice a few days ago."

"One was cold, the other fiery, both absolute stunners."

"One cold, one hot... it must be them." Lin Xuan knew who they were and waved his hand, "No, I'm not looking for them, I have other things to do."

"But if they come looking for me again today, please tell them I'll probably be back in the evening."

"Evening? Then you're going to have dinner with them?"

"Take me along then."

"Hmm... a healer carrying a hammer, can't expect his mental state to be too normal." Lin Xuan smiled bitterly twice in his heart and nodded.

"Alright, if we really have dinner tonight, I'll take you."

"Good brother!"

After chatting with Ling Fei, Lin Xuan dialed Teacher Li Ming's number.

The two met below an office building.

"Haha, Lin Xuan, long time no see." Li Ming greeted with a smile.

"Teacher Li." Lin Xuan replied.

"Eh, why are you only level forty?" Li Ming was a bit surprised.

"Got a few pets, so the experience was split."

"Pets, your contracted beasts, right." Li Ming quickly reacted, leading Lin Xuan towards the parking lot while speaking.

"Pets are fine too. Your talent is indeed suitable for the Necromancer's summoning path."

"However, at level fifty, professionals unlock their awakening skill."

"This is the first watershed between professionals."

"I suggest you level up to fifty as soon as possible."

"The competition at Mingzhu University is quite intense."

Li Ming instructed from the side, and Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

Awakening skills were like ultimate moves or special attacks in games.

However, like unlocking skills from a skill tree, they were very random and sometimes quite tricky.

Lin Xuan had seen it when researching.

A Sword Cultivator's awakening skill was called 'Sword Qi Rampant', which could detonate sword qi on a target, dealing massive damage.

But none of the skills he had unlocked before left sword qi marks on targets...

"Speaking of skills, I still have two Magic Card expansion skill slots."

"After school starts tomorrow, we'll enter the New Student Trial Secret Realm."

"Should I use up the two empty skill slots today?"

As he pondered, Li Ming had already driven him to their destination.

This place looked like a very high-end club, named Red Rose.

After the two entered, Li Ming had a conversation with the front desk.

Soon, someone came downstairs to greet them.

After a brief exchange,

the two followed the person into an elevator and arrived at a luxuriously decorated office.

A woman with a beautiful face, red hair, and ample bosom appeared before them.

"Li Ming, long time no see."

"Xiao Mei, long time no see."

"Xiao Mei?" Lin Xuan was surprised inwardly.

"This is the boss of the Red Rose Club, an old classmate of mine."

"Li Ming, this is..."

"Oh right, his name is Lin Xuan, he's the buyer I mentioned."

"Lin Xuan?" The red-haired woman smiled, looking at Lin Xuan with amusement.

"So handsome and young... and already needs life water?"

"Haha, Xiao Mei, be a bit more reserved. He's a genius student from Mingzhu this year."

"The life water is for his family."

"Oh? Then he's a filial child." The red-haired woman put away her smile and motioned for them to sit down casually.

Then she said, "Five drops of life water can indeed be sold."

"However, the seller suddenly wants to raise the price today."

"Five drops, five billion."

"Five billion?!" Hearing the quote, Li Ming frowned.

"It's usually five hundred million per drop, why did the price suddenly double?"

"I don't know." The red-haired woman crossed her legs and shrugged.

"The seller suddenly increased the price, but he'll be here soon, you can talk to him again."

At this moment, Lin Xuan was also a bit worried.

Fifty billion. If it came from Lu Qinghan's family, he would have it.

But after talking with Li Ming later, he had thought he could get it for thirty billion.

So in the past two months, he had been spending lavishly.

He didn't expect the seller to suddenly raise the price, doubling it.

"Two drops can restore my aunt's sight, and I still have over forty billion."

"I can buy two drops, or four drops."

As he thought, the office door opened.

The red-haired woman saw this, stood up, and gestured to Lin Xuan and Li Ming.

"Your seller is here." Lin Xuan turned to look.

At this moment, the person had already walked into the office.

"Eh? Lin Xuan, why are you here?"
