36: Chapter 36: As Reasonable as Ever

After cursing for a while, Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly remember something.

She then hurriedly called her boyfriend.

No.

To be precise, her ex-boyfriend.

After the phone rang twice, the other party picked up.

Sun Xiaoxiao immediately put on a grieved act.

"Baby, please don't be mad at me."

"My roommate was using my phone just now."

"She wanted to play a prank."

"I've already scolded her."

Sun Xiaoxiao's mind raced at that moment, spinning a random excuse in hopes of salvaging the relationship.

To her surprise, her boyfriend on the other end of the line let out a cold laugh instead.

"Sun Xiaoxiao, don't think too highly of yourself!"

"You think I can't live without you?"

"To tell you the truth, the girl in the bunk above you already told me everything you said and did today."

"Since you've found someone new, let's just break up."

"It just so happens that I've also asked that girl in your upper bunk to see a late-night movie tonight."

"Oh, by the way, I wish you happiness!"

After saying that, he heartlessly hung up the phone.

Sun Xiaoxiao bounced up from her bed, one hand on her hip and the other pointing angrily at the roommate sleeping in the upper bunk.

"Zhang Xiaoqian! What is the meaning of this!"

"How dare you steal my man!"

"Have you no shame!"

"You stinking homewrecker!"

Zhang Xiaoqian was not to be outdone; she sat up and retorted.

"Who are you calling a homewrecker?"

"Clearly, you were the one who had a change of heart and wanted to seduce that guy driving the panamera."

"What, you have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it?"

"Now that you've found out the car isn't his, you're breaking down?"

"I admit you have high standards and look down on someone like Brother Xu Feng who drives a CC."

"But since you don't cherish him, I will!"

"I'm the one who truly likes him!"

"You're just a money-grubbing bitch!"

It has to be said that catfights between girls are always full of firepower.

The two of them screamed and cursed at each other for quite a long time.

In the end, knowing she was in the wrong, Sun Xiaoxiao collapsed onto her bed, covered her head with the quilt, and began to sob.

However, no one in the dormitory came forward to comfort her.

Everyone had seen Sun Xiaoxiao's behavior today.

No one respected that kind of conduct.

...

...

On the other side, in the boys' dormitory, Lin Yi patted Hu Kai on the shoulder and then handed his chat logs with Sun Xiaoxiao to Hu Kai.

He also told his roommates about driving the panamera to Nanling University of the Arts last night.

However, Lin Yi lied and said the car was rented for a large sum of money, rather than saying he had bought it.

"Old Hu, take a look for yourself."

"I'm doing this for your own good; I don't want to see you get tricked by this woman again."

Hu Kai looked up at Lin Yi in confusion and then looked closely at Lin Yi's phone screen.

Huh, this profile picture looks very familiar.

Isn't this the profile picture of his goddess, Sun Xiaoxiao?

Then he looked at the chat history...

Ah...

This...

In the chat records, after Sun Xiaoxiao learned that Lin Yi's car wasn't his own, her attitude changed so rapidly; it was the standard face of a gold-digger.

For a moment, Hu Kai even doubted himself.

Could it be that after all these years... he really hadn't seen through her...

So everything He Linwei analyzed that day was true!

This woman really was just a gold-digger!

For so long, she had been giving him all sorts of hints to make him buy her various things.

Damn it!

"I've been scrounging and saving every day just to provide for a slut like you!"

"If I'd known you were like this, I would have been better off donating the money to children in poor mountain areas!"

"It's truly like a stupid mother opening the door for her stupid son—stupidity has come home!"

Hu Kai decisively took out his phone and completely blacklisted Sun Xiaoxiao.

Then he walked up to He Linwei with an embarrassed expression.

"Old He, I'm sorry."

"I wrongly blamed you."

"You're a bigger person than me, so don't take it to heart."

"How about this, I'll treat everyone to barbecue tonight!"

He Linwei rolled his eyes but didn't hold a grudge.

Between guys, conflicts come and go quickly.

There's nothing a barbecue meal can't solve.

Seeing the two of them reconcile, Lin Yi and Wu Jie also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you two aren't fighting anymore."

"But I won't be able to join you for barbecue tonight."

"Someone invited me to her house for dinner."

Hearing this, the three roommates immediately turned their heads and looked at Lin Yi with scrutinizing eyes.

"Old Lin, you're not being fair!"

"How do you have plans every single day!"

"It's truly a case of the parched dying of thirst while the flooded are drowning!"

"Can you introduce some girls to us when you're free? We want to go out on dates too!"

Lin Yi chuckled and scratched his head sheepishly.

"The girls I know only like me, how am I supposed to introduce them to you..."

The three of them all gave Lin Yi the middle finger.

"Damn, such a humblebrag!"

"Too shameless!"

"Forget it, forget it, we'd better just stay in the dorm and play games together."

"Since we can't beat Old Lin at picking up girls, we can only strive to surpass his game rank one day!"

"Wait, Old He, you must be joking... Old Lin is someone who has reached King rank..."

"Tsk, if you don't push yourself, how do you know you won't make it to King?"

"Makes sense, let's just do it!"

"Stop talking, log on, log on!"

...

...

After He Linwei and the others lost three games in a row, the military training assembly horn sounded on the playground again.

The three of them dragged Lin Yi, who was still dozing on the bed, and hurried toward the playground.

In Nanling City during early autumn, the sun was still scorching hot.

Lin Yi felt like he had tanned a whole shade darker after these few days of military training.

Fortunately, the training only lasted for a week.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to endure it.

However, Lin Yi could clearly feel that since he had strengthened his physical stats last time, his physical fitness had indeed improved a lot in all aspects.

In high school, Lin Yi could do at most fifty-odd push-ups in one go.

But now, with his physical stats strengthened to Level 4, he didn't even feel tired after being punished by the instructor to do two hundred push-ups.

This afternoon was military posture training.

With nothing to do, Lin Yi opened the system panel in his mind.

He wanted to study it carefully.

Host Information

Name: Lin Yi

Physical Stats: Level 4

Remaining Points: 20

...

Lin Yi's personal information panel was simple and crude, with only these two items of information.

He remembered that before the fight with Liu Jiangbo at the Nanling Hotel, he had used 5 points twice to increase his physical stats by two levels.

Now that he had twenty points, didn't that mean he could level up another 4 times?

Holy crap, how strong would I be then!

"Ding, system notification: as physical stats increase, the points required for leveling up will also increase."

"Upgrading from Level 4 to Level 5 requires 10 points."

"Upgrading from Level 5 to Level 6 requires 15 points."

"Upgrading from Level 6 to Level 7 requires 20 points."

"And so on."

Hearing the system's notification, Lin Yi roughly guessed the logic behind it.

Human abilities and potential are limited.

The higher you go, the harder it is to take another step forward.

If it were always 5 points per level, Lin Yi would soon be able to raise all his stats to the limits of humanity.

"It seems this system is as reasonable as always!"
