Chapter 176: 139, Lin Zichen! Danger!_3
…
About half an hour later.
Shen Qinghan came back from class.
It wasn’t just her returning alone; her close girlfriend, Li Chuxin, was with her.
Perceiving that both of them had entered the dormitory, Lin Zichen stopped his Body Refining.
He got up, left the balcony, and walked into the living room, smiling as he greeted Li Chuxin, “Chu Xin, long time no see.”
“Zi Chen, it’s been a while indeed.”
Li Chuxin returned the greeting with a smile.
Then, she curiously looked around the cohabited apartment, her face growing more envious as she observed. She couldn’t help but say, “It’s really nice for the two of you to live in such a luxurious apartment. It feels like being in a five-star hotel every day. Unlike me, I don’t even have a single room and have to share with another roommate.”
“If you want to live in a single room, the dormitory I have at the Martial Arts College is a single room; you can move in there,” Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Li Chuxin also smiled, “Thanks for the offer, Zi Chen. For now, I quite enjoy living with my roommate. It’s nice to have company; it’s not lonely.”
“That’s also true.”
After saying that, Lin Zichen added, “If you ever want to live alone, just let me know, and I’ll give you the key to that single room.”
Li Chuxin smiled, “Okay, thank you so much, Zi Chen.”
…
In the time that followed.
All three of them went to the kitchen to cook, planning to have dinner together.
Over half an hour later.
The meal was ready.
Four dishes and one soup.
In the living room, at the dining table.
Li Chuxin and Shen Qinghan sat next to each other, with Lin Zichen sitting across from them.
“Han Han, your legs are so slim.”
During dinner, Li Chuxin, seeing Shen Qinghan’s slender and long legs, said with a face full of envy, “My legs used to be as thin as yours during middle school, but ever since I joined the Martial Arts Class in high school and had to regularly train my body, my legs gained muscle and got so thick.”
Shen Qinghan replied, “Your legs aren’t thick at all; a little bit of flesh looks good and healthy.”
Li Chuxin: “True to being my best girlfriend, you only praise how good I look.”
The two chatted casually back and forth.
Soon, Li Chuxin brought up the school’s senior students, saying they were too much, always bullying the freshmen.
She expressed with indignation, “Zi Chen, Han Han, you are both geniuses, and usually, nobody dares to bully you. You don’t know how disgusting the seniors at school can be.”
“The day before yesterday, when a senior came to inspect our dorm, she took a liking to my cosmetics. Without caring whether I agreed or not, she just took them, saying she was borrowing them for a couple of days.”
“It’s even worse for a guy in our class. The hundred-year ginseng his family sent was stolen. To get it back, the senior told him to have a sparring match at the Martial Stage, promising to return it regardless of winning or losing.”
“However, after the guy lost, the senior publicly declared the hundred-year ginseng was a wager and refused to return it to him.”
“When he went to the student union to complain, they did nothing about it, saying that the school advocates the principle of survival of the fittest and that if you’re not content, fight back using any means necessary.”
“But we are all freshmen; we’re not as strong as the seniors, nor are we as cunning as they are. Isn’t this blatantly favoring the seniors and watching us freshmen being bullied?”
Li Chuxin became more agitated as she spoke and raised her voice quite a bit.
This clearly showed how dissatisfied she was.
Shen Qinghan gently consoled her, “Hearing what you said, those seniors indeed are despicable. From now on, we should avoid them. If they go too far, then we’ll all sit down together and think of a solution.”
Li Chuxin sighed, “Ah, it seems tough. The student union is biased, and then the school leaders and tutors don’t care. We, the regular class freshmen, are doomed not to resist and can only be bullied.”
Seeing her vent so much, Lin Zichen guessed her little scheme.
So he smiled and said to her:
“Chu Xin, if a senior goes too far with you in the future, just tell me, and I’ll see if I can help you out.”
“Ah? Really?”
“Really.”
“That’s so kind of you, Zi Chen!” Li Chuxin said, joyfully: “If you two ever want to buy any clothes, just tell me, and I’ll get my parents to express them over to you for free!”
“Alright, I won’t be shy then.”
Lin Zichen said with a smile.
He didn’t need Li Chuxin to send clothes, but if he didn’t say so, he figured Li Chuxin would feel burdened.
As the only close friend Shen Qinghan had now, Lin Zichen would help Li Chuxin with anything within his power.
As he contemplated these matters,
suddenly, the ground shook!
An earthquake!
The sensation was quite noticeable!
Li Chuxin was startled and said with some dismay, “What’s happening? Was that an earthquake just now?”
“It seems so,”
Shen Qinghan replied to Li Chuxin.
In contrast to Li Chuxin, who seemed a bit panicked at the moment, Shen Qinghan was somewhat calmer.
But she wasn’t that much calmer, still feeling a bit uneasy inside.
It was only because Lin Zichen was there that she didn’t appear too flustered, which gave her a little peace of mind.
However, Lin Zichen himself was far from at ease at the moment.
In recent years, earthquakes had become too frequent in Shanhai City.
Something felt very wrong.
His [Danger Perception] was telling him that it seemed something bad was about to happen.
What on earth was going on with Shanhai City?
Was the tectonic movement affected by something, causing anomalies?
Fortunately, [Danger Perception] wasn’t too strong, so it should be a minor problem…
Lin Zichen thought to himself.
…
At the same time,
in Shanhai City,
inside a luxuriously decorated room,
there were two people wearing masks, sitting together, drinking and chatting.
One was an old man with a mask, holding a cane.
The other was a tall, middle-aged man with a mask.
The masks both had the word “Divine Plant” written on them.
“There’s a genius with an extremely exaggerated physical talent among the new students at Shanhai University this year. I have arranged for someone to make him ingest a high-level demon seed. If we can successfully recruit him into our cult, the Divine Plant Cult’s strength will gain another division,”
the middle-aged masked man said after taking a sip of his drink.
The old masked man seemed indifferent, his voice hoarse, “That is not important. The real geniuses are in the Origin Land.”
So what if there are many geniuses in the Origin Land?
I can’t even get in touch with them!
The middle-aged masked man grumbled in his heart but outwardly put down his wine glass and said with utmost respect, “Divine Envoy, I am aiming for a higher Biological Level this year, and I need more resources. Could you perhaps provide me with some evolution resources?”
“Resources?”
The old masked man murmured, then conjured a bewitching flower out of nowhere and tossed it on the table casually, like throwing away trash, “Considering your exceptional performance this year, I’ll reward you with this Bewitching Beauty Flower.”
“Thank you, Divine Envoy!”
The middle-aged masked man excitedly accepted the flower from the table, his eyes filled with fervor.
The old masked man warned, “The Bewitching Beauty Flower has a strong aphrodisiac effect. It’s best to have a woman with you when you consume it.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Divine Envoy.”
As he said these words, the middle-aged masked man’s eyes were fixed on the flower in his hand.
At that moment, in the deep recesses of the old masked man’s mind, a voice echoed.
“Divine Envoy, news just came from the Origin Land that they have found an identical realm point and laid down the same biological coordinates. We now need you to go to the tunnel and activate the biological coordinates to connect with those in the Origin Land.”
“Hmm, I’ll go there now.”
The old masked man responded mentally to the other party then his figure flashed, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The middle-aged masked man was already accustomed to this and quickly got up and went into another room, changing into a luxurious suit to go out and secretly meet his lover.
The secret meeting was just incidental, the main intention was to consume the Bewitching Beauty Flower.
Before leaving, he took out an exquisite pocket watch from his crotch, voice-input a piece of text, and sent it.
[You two have been taking a long time with the task of making Lin Zichen consume the high-level demon seed. If it’s not done within three days, I’ll have to find someone else.]
