73: Chapter 73 Lu Xingye has attained enlightenment?

Just as Jiang You was feeling sentimental, Gou Fugui, who was downstairs, had sharp eyes and spotted him leaning against the second-floor railing immediately.

"Hey! Brother Jiang! You're awake!"

Gou Fugui's shout drew the attention of the three new freaks downstairs.

Swish, swish, swish!

Three pairs of eyes shot toward the second floor in unison.

Hao Yun waved with a smile, his eyes squinting into slits.

Junior Zhong Wu looked up, her large eyes, heavily accented with smoky makeup, staring coldly at Jiang You as her fingers returned to the keyboard.

Ye Li tilted her head, her gaze remaining hollow, as if she were looking at a newly sprouted plant.

"Is this… that legendary newcomer?"

Junior Zhong Wu raised her phone, the screen displaying: "Looks very weak, like the kind of cannon fodder who won't survive the first episode."

Hao Yun chuckled, "Don't say that. Look at his forehead, it's glowing, and his face is radiant. He looks like a blessed person; his luck might even be better than mine."

Ye Li murmured softly, "There's the scent of soil on him… and also… the scent of a very terrifying fertilizer."

Gou Fugui quickly rushed over to smooth things over, introducing him to the three returned big shots with a mysterious expression:

"Everyone! Everyone! Do not be fooled by appearances!"

"This is the provincial top scorer of our batch, Jiang You!"

"And…" Gou Fugui lowered his voice, pointing toward the third floor, "Last night, he stayed in Senior Ji Youyou's room for a full half hour!"

"Not only did he come out unscathed, but… he even came out after taking a shower!"

"What?!"

At these words, the expressions of the three previously indifferent freaks changed instantly.

Even Ye Li, whose gaze had been hollow, now had a glimmer of shock focused in her eyes.

Senior Ji Youyou's room?

The place where even a fly would be poisoned to death upon entering?

This guy actually went in?

And even took a shower inside?

"This… this can't be, right?" The ten-yuan note in Hao Yun's hand dropped in shock. "Senior didn't turn him into flower fertilizer?"

Junior Zhong Wu typed furiously: "Are you telling a ghost story? Did that female devil have a change of heart? Or is this kid also some kind of poisonous creature?"

Facing everyone's skeptical and shocked gazes, Jiang You acted as if nothing had happened, walking down while shuffling in his flip-flops with a "patta, patta" sound.

He walked straight up to Junior Zhong Wu and stopped.

Junior Zhong Wu subconsciously took half a step back, the coffin on her back emitting a dull thud.

She looked vigilantly at the man who had reportedly "conquered" Senior Ji Youyou, her fingers already resting on the coffin's mechanism.

However, Jiang You did not make a move, nor did he release any overwhelming aura.

He merely circled the coffin on Junior Zhong Wu's back, reached out to tap the lid, and listened to the echo.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Hmm… solid wood. Not bad."

Jiang You nodded and looked at Junior Zhong Wu with a sincere expression, asking a question that left everyone petrified:

"Um… little sister."

"Is this bed of yours… for sale?"

"Did you put a mattress inside? Is it soft?"

"It looks like it has a good seal, so it must be very dark and quiet inside, right?"

"If you're selling it, can you give me a discount? I happen to be in need of some equipment that lets me sleep anytime, anywhere."

Dead silence.

The entire room was once again plunged into a deathly silence.

Junior Zhong Wu's jaw dropped, and she nearly dropped her phone.

A bed?

He called her Soul Corpse Coffin a bed?

And asked if she was selling it?

Did he want to lie inside and sleep?

"This…" Hao Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered to Gou Fugui, "Fugui… is this newcomer's… Brain circuitry a bit… you know?"

Gou Fugui adjusted his glasses with a profound expression. "Yes. I've always felt that this guy has the most questionable mental state in our Class F!"

Hao Yun looked at Jiang You's "sincere" expression and suddenly felt that what Gou Fugui said made some sense.

The awkward, deathly silence in the hall continued. Facing the stunned gazes of everyone, Jiang You seemed completely oblivious.

Seeing that Junior Zhong Wu didn't react for a long time—and had even stopped typing on her phone—he could only sigh regretfully.

"Sigh, if you're not selling, then you're not selling. No need to glare."

"Young people nowadays have such low utilization rates for their idle items."

Jiang You shook his head. That "even if the deal doesn't go through, friendship remains" expression made the coffin lid on Junior Zhong Wu's back tremble in agitation.

Jiang You stopped dwelling on it. He noticed a few leftover meat buns on the dining table and decided not to bother ordering food, as he didn't know how long it would take for the drone to deliver it.

So, he picked up a bun that still had some residual warmth and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mmm… Fugui, you still have some conscience left, not finishing all the breakfast."

Jiang You muttered indistinctly, then picked up a second bun and swallowed it in a few bites.

Watching Jiang You's carefree, food-focused demeanor, Lu Xingye, standing in the shadows of the staircase, felt a flash of unprecedented brilliance erupt in his eyes.

He gripped his knife handle tightly, his Brain undergoing an unprecedented brainstorming session.

"Brilliant! Simply brilliant!"

Lu Xingye took a deep breath, watching Jiang You eat the buns. His gaze held less jealousy and more of the fanatical fervor of someone "stealing" a technique.

"I finally understand!" he thought. "Why is this kid so capable of navigating social situations? Why could he even take down a female devil like Senior Ji Youyou?"

"The secret lies right here—being unexpected! Doing the complete opposite!"

Lu Xingye frantically took mental notes:

"When normal people meet a beautiful woman, they offer pleasantries or show off their strength. That's too tacky! It's impossible to leave an impression on these genius girls in Class F that way!"

"But Jiang You is different! He walked right up and asked if her coffin was for sale!"

"This seemingly Brain-dead but actually unconventional pick-up method instantly pierced through Junior Zhong Wu's psychological defenses, leaving a deep impression on her. Even if she was angry, she still remembered him!"

"This is the legendary… Psycho Pick-up Method!"

A confident, crooked smile curled at the corner of Lu Xingye's mouth as he smoothed out his leather jacket, which had become wrinkled from his earlier fall.

"Jiang You, although you are a formidable rival, I, Lu Xingye, am no pushover."

"I've learned this move!" he thought. "Since you can use it to attract Junior Zhong Wu, then I can use it to win back Senior Sister Yunan's heart!"

Just as Lu Xingye was full of ambition, preparing to find an opportunity to put his "new tactic" into practice…

"Clack, clack, clack…" The crisp sound of high heels echoed from the third-floor staircase.

Everyone looked up instinctively. Qiu Yunan was slowly walking down.

She had changed into a more professional white combat uniform today. Although she wore her iconic gold-rimmed glasses and insulated gloves, she couldn't hide her intellectual, mature charm.

However, because she had seen Jiang You chatting animatedly with the group of new "freaks" upstairs earlier, she felt a slight sense of disappointment and was looking down, thinking about how to naturally join them later.

"An opportunity! A god-given opportunity!" Lu Xingye's eyes instantly lit up like two large light bulbs. The goddess had come downstairs! Jiang You was still eating buns and hadn't noticed! This was the perfect moment to overtake him!

"Jiang You, just watch! Watch as I use the top-tier pick-up technique I 'stole' from you to win my goddess back from your hands!"
