Ding ling ling
The 7 am alarm clock rang on time, Ye Feng reflexively sat up and turned off the alarm clock, instantly becoming fully awake.
After washing up, Zhao Zhou also got up from bed yawning, rubbing his still blurry eyes, and said, “Wait for me for a bit, I’ll be quick.”
Ten minutes later, the two were already sitting in the school cafeteria, dipping youtiao fried dough sticks into soy milk.
Ye Feng curiously asked, “You’re a rich second generation, why are you still dutifully attending classes?”
Zhao Zhou retorted, “What? I can’t study properly?”
Ye Feng scratched his head, “No, it’s just...nevermind.”
“To tell the truth, I didn’t actually come to school to study, otherwise I would have applied for the Business Administration major. But don’t think that means I’m not studying hard,” Zhao Zhou paused for a second and fiercely bit into his youtiao, “Before I turned 18 while you guys were all working hard studying for the college entrance exam, my family had already hired dozens of private tutors for me. I finished all the university courses a long time ago.”
Ye Feng was so shocked that the half-eaten fried dough stick in his hand dropped onto his plate with a clank. “Damn, why would a rich second generation suffer through all this instead of just enjoying life? This is too outrageous.”
“You think I wanted to?” Zhao Zhou said in annoyance, “Unless I give up inheriting the family business and just collect a measly few tens of millions in dividends every year. Otherwise...you should know, there are countless eyes watching my every move.”
Every family has their own troubles that are difficult to talk about, so Ye Feng didn’t say anything more, he could only mourn silently in his heart for Zhao Zhou.
After breakfast, it was 7:40am. Still early, so the two walked unhurriedly towards the classroom building.
Perhaps because they were freshmen who still didn’t know their way around, many students had already arrived at the classroom before them.
The two scanned the room briefly before Zhao Zhou pulled Ye Feng over to sit next to a pair of girls. One of the girls glanced over at them but didn’t say anything.
Ye Feng secretly looked the girls over and noticed one of them was quite pretty. He thought to himself, could this young master be here to pick up girls? But he didn’t say anything. Graceful ladies should be treated with manners by gentlemen. All men understand this.
Just as it was almost time for class, a familiar figure suddenly rushed in through the door. Ye Feng looked closely - damn it, it was that man, that man had arrived. He was walking over towards them.
Ye Feng had fresh memories of Zhou Luo from the professional gaming competitions, who had defeated him in two lopsided matches. He even had some nightmares about it last night and felt an urge to quit gaming.
Little did he know, Zhou Luo was also extremely vexed. Through two fierce battles he had barely scraped together 30 villain points from Ye Feng, and now he couldn’t even afford to exchange for the Medicine specialization.
To make things worse, today was destined to be the first meeting between Ye Feng and the female lead Dong Meng. Zhou Luo had no choice but to compromise and exchange for an Herbal Medicine specialization first, striving to prevent Ye Feng from getting any chances to stand out.
If he could intercept the protagonist’s opportunity, he might gain Dong Meng’s favor and earn quite a lot of villain points from her.
Just thinking about it excited Zhou Luo a little.
The first class in the School of Chinese Medicine was Chinese Medicine Identification.
Before class started, the teacher took attendance and called out Ye Feng’s name. The pretty girl Dong Meng even turned her head slightly to look at him.
Ye Feng also learned her name.
After taking attendance, class officially began.
A plant was displayed on the PPT screen.
“Does anyone know what medicinal herb this is?”
“Ginseng, also known as tianqi, dispels blood stasis, reduces swelling and relieves pain. It is a common Chinese medicinal herb.”
The teacher didn’t expect anyone would recognize this plant, since they were all exam-oriented students without any prior classes on Chinese medicine. Unexpectedly, someone really knew the answer.
“Zhou Luo, is it? Good answer.”
The PPT continued, showing another plant picture on screen.
“Ephedra, induces sweating to release the exterior, diffuses the lungs and relieves wheezing, promotes urination and reduces swelling.”
Zhou Luo answered before the teacher could even ask.
The teacher nodded satisfactorily and put up another picture.
“Honeysuckle is cold in nature, sweet in taste, enters the lung, heart and stomach channels, has the effects of clearing heat and toxins, anti-inflammation, tonifying deficiencies and treating wind-cold.”
As soon as the teacher put up a picture, Zhou Luo would answer without hesitation. Soon all the PPT slides were used up.
The other students gossiped amongst themselves, even Dong Meng frequently glanced over, clearly showing some interest towards him.
The teacher was a little embarrassed. The content that was meant for two class periods had been covered in just ten short minutes. But he was a teacher with many years of experience. He coughed and said, “This student performed outstandingly, it is evident he did ample preparation work ahead of time. This is praiseworthy, you all should learn from his example.”
After saying that, the teacher switched to a new presentation and continued class. He definitely won’t dare to call on anyone to answer this time.
Just like that, the first class period passed by peacefully and although so, Zhou Luo’s performance had left a deep impression on everyone.
【Ding! Congratulations Host for changing the storyline and obtaining 30 Villain points】
Watching as Dong Meng left class, Zhou Luo heaved a deep sigh. People indeed get treated differently.
In the original plot, Ye Feng and his ordinary performance would have earned Dong Meng’s invitation right after class to introduce him to her grandfather.
At least he managed to interrupt Ye Feng’s screen time, so the trip wasn’t wasted.
On the other side, Ye Feng who was completely unaware of the situation, was gossiping with Zhao Zhou: “What, you’re saying Zhou Luo is the sole heir to Zhou Group? Isn’t he a professional gamer?”
Zhao Zhou helplessly shrugged, “Rich second generations can be pro gamers too, though I have to say this was my first time watching him play. I hadn’t heard about him having that hobby before.”
“He utterly destroyed me in the first match, I must have terrible luck across eight lifetimes.”
Zhao Zhou chuckled, “Don’t feel bad, you’re just a temp anyway, doesn’t matter if you lose.” He suddenly said, “Hey, do you know who that girl sitting beside us today is?”
Ye Feng unhappily said, “Isn’t that the girl you were checking out just now? Haven’t even successfully hit on her yet.”
“Nonsense, what kind of superficial man do you take me for?”
Ye Feng thought seriously for a second before solemnly nodding.
Zhao Zhou said in chagrin, “I can’t believe this is how you see me, a man who only thinks with his lower body. Fine, I admit I do have some of that male weakness. But I wouldn’t dare make a move on her, it’d be gg for me if I caused any trouble and her grandfather came knocking.”
“Her grandfather is that powerful? You’re the young master of one of Jiangcheng's Five Great Families, who could you be afraid of? Unless she’s also from one of the five families. The Mu, Zhao, Zhou and Wang families don’t have the Dong surname, could it be that last mysterious family?”
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
