"But since you've said so, let's let bygones be bygones."
Lu Xiaobai agreed without hesitation.
Although he wasn't exactly a magnanimous person, he wouldn't go out of his way to deal with Du An over this matter. Besides, his main objective right now was to get Starry Sky Points!
"Thank you, Young Master Lu."
A huge weight was instantly lifted from Du An's heart. He then tentatively asked,
"Um, can I leave now?"
"Of course."
Du An hastily opened the bathroom stall door and fled the scene as if running for his life...
His interaction with Lu Xiaobai had only lasted a few short minutes, but his emotional state had been like a roller coaster ride. It was truly thrilling enough...
"The biggest obstacle is taken care of!"
Lu Xiaobai wore a smile, not having expected it to be so easy. He muttered to himself,
"I'm definitely getting the Starry Sky Points this time!"
Whistling, he returned to the classroom in a cheerful mood, just in time to bump into Yu Wei walking out.
"Monkey, come here for a second."
Lu Xiaobai's expression shifted slightly as he called out to stop Yu Wei.
"Brother Lu, what's up?"
"Do me a favor."
Lu Xiaobai explained his plan to snatch first place in the practical combat test.
"I've already dealt with Du An, but I need you to go and persuade the others. As long as they go easy on me during our matches, they'll get a reward of one thousand Alliance Coins!"
The class practical combat test was a 1v1 format. The matchup list would be randomly generated, and students would advance through rounds of competition to finally determine the rankings.
Although he had now neutralized Du An, his biggest obstacle, his own vitality was only at 1.6. If he bumped into just about anyone, he could be eliminated early.
To ensure he could advance all the way, he naturally had to take care of the other competitors.
As for the reward, he had initially thought about giving away a few high-tech weapons. However, judging from Du An's reaction, the things he offered seemed a bit too expensive, so expensive that no one would dare accept them...
"Brother Lu, this is simple. Just leave it to me!"
Yu Wei chuckled and continued,
"However, if we want to persuade the top-ranked students, one thousand Alliance Coins might not be enough. And for those ranked at the bottom, one thousand is too much."
"You handle the specifics of this matter. Just tally up how many Alliance Coins you need and let me know when the time comes."
Lu Xiaobai patted his chest, appearing extremely generous.
After all, it was almost the beginning of the month, and his living allowance of one hundred thousand was about to refresh. He certainly wasn't short on this bit of cash.
Moreover, advancing all the way would only require fighting four or five rounds. That meant he only needed to bribe four or five people, so this amount of money was truly nothing to him.
"You got it,"
Yu Wei said, his face full of excitement, and immediately set off to get it done.
Lu Xiaobai wasn't worried in the slightest. The guy had a glib tongue and was perfectly suited for this kind of work...
The day quickly passed by.
The students completed their daily physical training, and most of them left the Star Martial Hall looking exhausted.
"Today's training was really easy..."
Lu Xiaobai still seemed extremely energetic.
His vitality level had increased by 0.1, while the volume of physical training hadn't changed yet, so he naturally appeared to handle it with ease.
Only after the whole class had their vitality tested would Nangong Ling formulate new physical training plans for everyone.
"Brother Lu..."
Just then, Yu Wei leaned in and said with a grin,
"I've already sorted out half the people in the class. I reckon I'll be able to finish the mission by tomorrow!"
"That efficient?"
"Brother Lu, just look at your current status. Countless people want to get on your good side. The moment they heard my words, they agreed without even asking for money."
Lu Xiaobai nodded upon hearing this.
His identity was indeed completely out of their league in such a small city...
In fact, let alone on this remote ancestral planet, even on a prosperous first-tier planet, his status would allow him to do whatever he pleased...
"Thanks for the hard work, Monkey."
"It wasn't hard at all."
Yu Wei chuckled and couldn't help but say:
"Brother Lu, you have no idea. Those people treated me surprisingly well today. Even the top students in the class were extremely polite to me!"
He felt high-spirited, feeling for the first time that he could finally stand tall.
Lu Xiaobai smiled and didn't say much else. He turned his head and summoned his flying vehicle, Xiao Huo.
"Let's go together?"
Yu Wei cast an envious glance at the sleek and cool aircraft, but still shook his head and said:
"Brother Lu, you go first. I live in the suburbs, so it's not really on your way..."
"It's fine. This thing is fast; it won't take up much time."
Lu Xiaobai got into the aircraft and pointed to the passenger seat next to him.
Seeing this, Yu Wei no longer insisted. He carefully entered the aircraft, looking around at the luxurious interior decorations, his eyes full of wonder.
"Monkey, do you want to try flying it?"
Yu Wei hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Brother Lu, stop joking. I haven't gotten my pilot's license yet. I'm planning to take the test after the Star Exam."
Seeing this, Lu Xiaobai didn't insist. He didn't want to get another comic-book-thick stack of tickets from the traffic robots...
Swoosh—
Crimson gas spewed from the tail of the aircraft, and then it turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing from the spot.
"This is awesome!"
Yu Wei looked down at the city below, his face full of excitement.
Even the cheapest aircraft would cost hundreds of thousands. He never dreamed that he would be able to ride in one so soon, let alone an expensive A-class aircraft...
Soon,
The aircraft stopped in front of a somewhat old residential area.
"Brother Lu, I'm heading home first."
"See you."
Yu Wei jumped out of the aircraft and walked back into the neighborhood with his head held high.
Lu Xiaobai smiled, shook his head, and piloted the aircraft away.
Not long after he left, however, he frowned slightly and looked at an old blue aircraft behind him.
"It really is following me..."
This aircraft had been following him ever since Starlight Middle School. He originally thought the other party was also heading to the suburbs, but as he changed direction, the other party followed suit, confirming his suspicion that he was being tailed.
"A stalker?"
Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself:
"I'd like to see what you are trying to do."
He wasn't worried at all. Although Starlight City was an inconspicuous little city, its security capabilities were not weak in the slightest. If the other party had malicious intentions, countless patrol robots would arrive in an instant.
Besides, as a member of the Lu family, he naturally had plenty of life-saving measures...
Soon,
Lu Xiaobai piloted the aircraft into the downtown area. Instead of speeding up, his pace became increasingly slow.
He really didn't want to get another ticket...
Half an hour passed.
To his surprise, the blue aircraft behind him still made no move, just following at a leisurely pace.
"Could it really just be a simple case of tailing?"
Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself,
"Once I get into the residential complex, let's see how you follow me then, you creep!"
Soon,
He walked past the robot security guard at the gate and entered the complex where he lived.
Just as he was about to see what the blue hovercraft would do, he didn't expect it to actually follow him inside.
And the security robot at the gate didn't stop it at all, instead saying the exact same 'Welcome home, resident.'
"He lives in the same complex as me?"
Lu Xiaobai paused slightly and muttered,
"Did I misunderstand? Was he just on his way home too?"
Right at that moment,
A shirtless, heavily muscled boy stepped off the hovercraft and shouted loudly,
"Brother Lu, wait for me!"
"Huh?"
Lu Xiaobai looked surprised. Pointing at himself, he asked,
"You know me?"
"I'm also a senior at Xingguang High School!"
The burly boy gave a simple, honest smile, reaching out his hand as he laughed,
"My name is Lin Lei'er. Nice to meet you, Brother Lu."
"Lin Lei... er?"
Lu Xiaobai's eye twitched, his face full of weirded-out disbelief.
This name was just a bit too ridiculous...
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
