Gu Xiaoyue didn't expect that the senior who had given her an extra teleportation remote that day would actually come to the infirmary to see her.

"Junior, were you injured in the secret realm? Is it serious?"

Only now did Gu Xiaoyue properly size up this senior. He had a handsome face and a tall, slender build. His long hair was loosely tied back with a ribbon, and his skin was fair. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his expression was gentle, yet it seemed to carry a hint of coldness.

Gu Xiaoyue shook her head. "Thank you, Senior."

She was thanking him both for the extra remote he had given her earlier and for his visit.

However, he certainly wasn't showing kindness for no reason. She asked, "I still don't know your name, Senior—"

She wasn't usually one for gossip, and most of her time was spent training with Chu Li, so she really didn't know the other prominent figures at the school.

Shui Lingyu chuckled. That smile was like a drop of Xiao Lu falling into the lake of Gu Xiaoyue's heart, sending ripples through it.

"My name is Shui Lingyu, I am your senior in the second year. Battle Strength Ranking—Number One."

He knew that Gu Xiaoyue definitely didn't know him, so he stated his Battle Strength Ranking to leave a deeper impression on her.

Gu Xiaoyue gave an awkward smile. First-year students were not allowed to challenge seniors on the Battle Strength Ranking for the first six months, and students above the second year were not allowed to challenge first-year students.

Because of these two rules, Gu Xiaoyue had never even looked at the Battle Strength Ranking.

Besides, she was relatively low-key; even though her strength was decent, she wasn't arrogant enough to provoke seniors.

Shui Lingyu continued, "I've kept track of every team leader from this freshman secret realm training. Actually, it's not for anything else; I just wanted to ask—do you have any resources you want to sell? I am willing to buy them at a high price."

Gu Xiaoyue calculated. Aside from that han jiang grass, she could sell everything else.

The tianling tree had been growing well in her Yu Beast Space these past few days, and soon, a few more tianling fruit might ripen.

Many people knew she had two tianling fruit in her possession, so she would have to sell any other ripe tianling fruit secretly in the future.

"I have three stalks of Ice Heart Grass and two tianling fruit. Since you helped me out earlier, Senior, as long as your price is reasonable, I'll sell them to you. However, I want to know why—why did you give me an extra remote that day?"

Gu Xiaoyue meant that the three stalks of Ice Heart Grass were worth 50 million star coins, and the two tianling fruit were worth 320 million star coins. A package deal of 360 million star coins would be fine, but she wanted to know the reason Shui Lingyu helped her.

Was it simply because he wanted to be on good terms with her so he could come and buy her resources?

"If I tell you, Junior, what benefit would there be?"

Shui Lingyu's beautiful eyes shifted, looking gently at Gu Xiaoyue. His thin lips parted slightly, revealing his teeth.

Gu Xiaoyue felt a bit shy, her face flushing, and she didn't speak.

Shui Lingyu laughed again. "Then, whenever you have resources to sell in the future, come to me first, okay?"

Immediately, he opened his brain and added Gu Xiaoyue's Star Connection account.

Just as Gu Xiaoyue was about to agree to his request, Chu Li kicked open the infirmary door and walked in with Chen Yixuan, carrying a pile of food.

"Still haven't finished talking?"

Chu Li raised an eyebrow. He was very displeased that Shui Lingyu wanted to see Gu Xiaoyue alone.

He had been waiting outside for a long time and didn't want to wait any longer.

Seeing this, Shui Lingyu leaned in close to Gu Xiaoyue's ear and whispered, "Junior, let's chat on Star Connection. You should rest first."

Afterwards, he greeted Chu Li and the others and left.

Chu Li watched Shui Lingyu's retreating figure and glared fiercely, then gave Gu Xiaoyue the food she liked.

"Eat something first. There's no rush to sell resources; we're not short on money!"

Fang Xiaoyu wasn't nearby; if he had heard, he definitely would have said, "I am short on money, but I'm not in a rush!"

As Gu Xiaoyue ate, several messages arrived on her Star Connection account via her brain.

"Junior, do you believe that I can occasionally sense fragments of the future? I sensed that your remote would be destroyed, which is why I specifically brought an extra one for you."

This was sent by Shui Lingyu.

Gu Xiaoyue understood. Shui Lingyu's attributes must certainly include space and Mental Power, and his talent level must be quite high as well.

She replied to him, "Senior is amazing," adding a thumbs-up emoji.

Lin Zhiyi also sent a message, "Xiao Yue, I heard you were injured in the freshman secret realm. Is it serious?"

Gu Xiaoyue replied, "It's not serious."

The two girls chatted for a while longer, and Gu Xiaoyue learned that the freshman secret realm training at every academy had been moved forward.

However, Lin Zhiyi had quite poor luck; she didn't obtain any rare treasures and only managed to gather three leaves of qiu mu grass.

The number of fierce beasts their team killed was only a little over a hundred.

They had already traded with Hualian Shopping Mall, and her share was only over 7 million star coins.

Although Miss Lin wasn't short on those few star coins, she was depressed because she hadn't obtained any resources, meaning she hadn't achieved any qualitative improvement.

On the other end, Shui Lingyu was still chatting with Gu Xiaoyue about the resource acquisition and idle talk, and they finally settled on a deal of 370 million star coins.

Gu Xiaoyue wanted to give him a discount, but Shui Lingyu insisted on paying an extra 10 million star coins, on the condition that whenever Gu Xiaoyue wanted to sell resources in the future, she would ask him first if he wanted them.

If he didn't want them, Gu Xiaoyue could then sell them to others.

This request wasn't unreasonable, and since they had discussed it before, Gu Xiaoyue agreed immediately.

She was chatting happily when Chu Li snatched her brain away. "Rest! You're still chatting? If it's so fun to chat, chat with me!"

Gu Xiaoyue was between laughter and tears. "I was just talking business with Senior, and chatting with Zhiyi."

She didn't know what kind of jealous fit Chu Li was having, but not until the 370 million star coins arrived did Chu Li return the brain to Gu Xiaoyue.

The next day, Ye Wanrou still hadn't woken up.

Gu Xiaoyue sent Chu Li and Chen Yixuan away again and had Xiao Lan perform Water Therapy on her once.

Her own injuries had mostly healed, so she asked Chu Li to go with her to Hualian Shopping Mall to trade the fierce beast carcasses and, while she was at it, ask if they had any God-Rank Pet food.

In Hechuan City's Hualian Shopping Mall, the pet food specialty store was on the fifth floor. Gu Xiaoyue found a sales assistant with a ponytail.

She first discussed the matter of trading the fierce beast carcasses with the sales assistant.

Because of Nanya Academy, the sales assistants here were already well-acquainted with trading fierce beast carcasses.

However, when she saw the carcasses that Gu Xiaoyue released from her Yu Beast Space, she was truly shocked.

There were fully four or five hundred fierce beast carcasses, and not to mention the Young life stage rank 9 and 10 ones, there were even quite a few that were Mature stage rank 1!

The sales assistant found several colleagues to help, calculated the price, and added a premium according to the diamond membership card.

Like the previous sales assistant, this one also recorded the quantity and price, made a table, and kept clear records.

The total was 140 million star coins.

After receiving the star coins, Gu Xiaoyue secretly asked the sales assistant, "Excuse me, do you have God-Rank Pet food?"

The sales assistant's eyes widened; she simply couldn't believe her ears.

"God Rank? Miss, are you sure it's God Rank?"

Gu Xiaoyue felt a bit regretful, but she didn't know who else she could ask if she didn't ask the Hualian sales assistant.

She looked around and lowered her voice, saying, "I heard that a student at Nanya encountered a God-Rank Pet egg. Although I don't know if it's true or not, I'm quite curious. God-Rank Pet food must be very expensive, right?"

The sales assistant thought for a moment and said, "During our training, the manager mentioned that God-Rank Pet food is free!"
