Lin Baici thought for a moment and replied to Xiao Yuren.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: Yes, but the mortality rate of this profession is very high. It’s better to be a video blogger and live a safe life.
If Hua Yueyu was just an ordinary college student, her career as a video blogger wouldn’t have much success and she wouldn’t be able to earn money. It’s better for her to become a God Hunter and change her destiny.
But Hua Yueyu is living a comfortable life right now, there’s no need to take risks.
Xiao Yuren: Please give me some advice, Dad!
After Hua Yueyu finished speaking, she added a bowing emoticon.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: If you obtain a divine grace, you can become a God Hunter, but divine grace is very difficult to obtain. Even if you have a lot of money, you probably won’t be able to buy it. So the only way is to enter God’s Ruins and find it yourself.
Xiao Yuren: Dad, please take me with you the next time you enter God’s Ruins!
Xiao Yuren: Let me bow to you again.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: It’s too dangerous, and I haven’t decided when I will enter God’s Ruins again.
Lin Baici estimated that it would be soon after he became a member of the Nine Provinces Security Bureau.
Hua Yueyu came back and sat next to Lin Baici, picking up a glass: “Come on, Xiaobai, Wenwu, let’s celebrate the downfall of Manager Fan, bottoms up!”
Hu Wenwu quickly raised his glass.
He had never had alcohol at home, so he wasn’t used to this kind of occasion.
Bang!
The three of them toasted.
Lin Baici took a few sips and reminded Hua Yueyu, “What I told you is insider information that should not be leaked to others!”
“Yes, I understand!”
Hua Yueyu nodded quickly.
Knowing a God Hunter, she now knew a lot more. I don’t think anyone would dare to boast about knowing inside information in front of me in the future.
Seriously, do you guys know any God Hunters?
The seasoning on the barbecue was generous and the taste was strong. Hua Yueyu didn’t eat much to maintain her figure, but Lin Baici didn’t mind.
“Wenwu, we’re all friends here, don’t be so reserved, eat and drink to your heart’s content.”
Hua Yueyu ordered a roasted lamb leg weighing over six kilograms, it was a generous portion. “Eat as much as you can, it would be a waste if there’s leftovers!”
Hu Wenwu wanted to say that the leftovers could be eaten tomorrow, but he realized that the lamb would probably spoil in the heat of the next day.
The boss pulled an extension cord and brought a fan from the shop. “Do you want more drinks?”
Hua Yueyu looked at Lin Baici, waiting for his decision.
“It’s your first day of college, so drink less!”
Lin Baici refused.
“Alright!”
Although the high-profit drinks didn’t sell, the boss wasn’t disappointed because the dishes ordered by Lin Baici’s table already amounted to over a thousand yuan.
Otherwise, he would be bored and bring a fan to this table.
“Boss, do you have more fans? It’s hot here too!”
A short-haired boy shouted.
“Sorry, only one!” The boss smiled apologetically. “I’ll buy a few more in the next few days to make sure you all can use them!”
The boss said so, and the boy couldn’t do anything about it.
While the boss was busy, the short-haired boy complained, “This boss is stingy. If we had a few girls at this table, we would definitely get a fan!”
The short-haired boy thought that Lin Baici’s table was able to get a fan because Hua Yueyu was beautiful.
Speaking of which, why would such a beautiful girl eat barbecue on the roadside? Shouldn’t she go to those fancy restaurants?
“Forget it, do you know how much that lamb leg costs? At least a thousand yuan, more than our five tables combined.”
The short-haired boy’s companion was his fellow villager, a senior in his third year with more social experience. “That’s a big order. If the boss serves them well, they’ll become regular customers. They’ll order a lamb leg every time they come, and the boss will make a lot of money!”
“I see!”
The short-haired boy suddenly realized.
He was a freshman and felt like he had learned something.
“A… a thousand yuan?”
Hu Wenwu’s mouth froze while chewing on the lamb.
He knew this meal wouldn’t be cheap, but he didn’t expect it to be this expensive.
“Eat to your heart’s content, try not to leave any leftovers!”
Hua Yueyu poured wine for Lin Baici and Hu Wenwu.
Just like a little sister next door, obedient and considerate.
The three of them ate for an hour and a half and finally finished the whole lamb leg.
It was getting late, but the whole city was brightly lit, bustling with people. The night economy was just beginning.
“Are you full?” Hua Yueyu saw the two nod and took out her phone to call the boss, “Boss, the bill please!”
“It’s a total of 1267.7 yuan, you can round it down to 1267!” The boss handed over a payment code, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
This girl is going to pay?
Usually, when male and female students come here to eat, it’s the guy who pays. It’s rare to see a girl paying, you might not even see it three times a month, let alone for such an expensive meal.
Hua Yueyu scanned the code and made the payment.
1267 yuan was transferred to the boss’s account.
“Have a good night!”
The boss glanced at Lin Baici and clicked his tongue in surprise.
Could it be that he’s a gigolo?
As for Hu Wenwu?
Sorry, he’s too ugly, obviously just a freeloader.
“Damn!”
The senior student was dumbfounded. Is that a freshman? Eating with such a beautiful girl, and the girl is the one paying?
Impressive!
…
“Let’s eat something casual today. After military training, your university life will be on track, and we can have a good time!” Hua Yueyu planned their schedule. “I’ve already made appointments with a few female anchors who have good figures and sweet voices. I’ll accompany you and make sure we don’t return until we’re drunk!”
“Don’t waste your connections, I don’t like female anchors!”
Lin Baici didn’t enjoy watching live broadcasts, mainly because he didn’t have time. And if Hua Yueyu asks those female anchors for favors, she’ll owe them a favor and won’t be able to refuse if they invite her to a party she doesn’t like next time.
“Don’t worry, they’re all friends!”
Hua Yueyu assured him that the arrangements she made wouldn’t be awkward.
“What time are you going back?” It was getting late, and Lin Baici was worried that Hua Yueyu would be in danger if she went back too late. “Do you want me to walk you back?”
Xiao Yuren is a considerate and understanding girl. She actually wanted to stroll around the campus with Lin Baici, but when she heard this, she gave up.
“I’ll go back now, you don’t have to accompany me.”
Hua Yueyu smiled, “It’s your first day, you should get used to the environment, chat with your new roommates, and build relationships. I won’t disturb you!”
“You’ve been drinking, are you sure it’s okay?”
Lin Baici wanted to hear Gigolo’s opinion on Hua Yueyu’s current physical condition, but Gigolo didn’t say anything.
“I only had one bottle. Hey, don’t worry about me, hurry back to the dormitory. It’ll take me at most forty minutes to get back to Hai University by taxi!”
Hua Yueyu suddenly ran off into the distance, stopped after a dozen meters, and waved at Lin Baici, “I’m leaving, let’s stay in touch on WeChat!”
When Xiao Yuren came, she was dressed up, but when she left, she was carefree, like Cinderella disappearing from the royal banquet before midnight.
Lin Baici waited until Hua Yueyu’s figure disappeared from sight, then looked at the No. 2 male dormitory building shrouded in the night, “Let’s go back to the dorm!”
…
Room 902.
Fang Mingyuan went to the basketball court, but it was small and the equipment was average. Besides the school team, ordinary students were not allowed to use it.
This made him unhappy!
But the sports field at Haijing University of Technology was large. In addition to a football field, there were ten basketball courts with plastic flooring. However, there were too many people playing.
Fang Mingyuan played basketball for over an hour, worked up a sweat, ate a large bowl of noodles at the cafeteria, and returned to the dormitory. He took a basin, towel, and shower gel, and went to the public bathroom on the ninth floor to take a shower.
The public bathroom had a row of faucets and shower stalls, but there was no hot water. However, since they were all guys, they could handle a cold shower.
After Fang Mingyuan finished showering and returned to his room, he put on wireless earphones, picked up his phone, opened Bilibili, and entered his favorites. He found a chanting video.
He clicked play.
The Bodhisattva of Compassion,
When practicing the profound Prajnaparamita,
Clearly saw that all five aggregates are empty,
And thus relieved all suffering.
…
Fang Mingyuan couldn’t understand the meaning of the Sanskrit chanting, but the singer’s voice was melodious and distant, making him feel as if he was standing at the foot of Mount Hanshan, wearing a fishing fire and sunset glow, listening to the chanting of the evening class in the temple, stepping on the stone steps, walking towards the mountain gate.
Fang Mingyuan had just arrived today, and he felt restless, nervous, and excited in the new environment. But now, all those feelings disappeared.
His heartbeat slowed down, and he felt as calm as a still mirror!
Fang Mingyuan liked this state. Since his high school friend recommended this video to him, he couldn’t get enough of it. He treated it as his lucky charm.
As a sports special student, Fang Mingyuan often needed to quickly adjust his mindset and enter a competitive state, but mindset is not something that can be adjusted at will, especially when facing assessments that determine his future. It’s impossible to not be nervous, it’s simply impossible.
But after he accidentally listened to this chanting video, he immediately calmed down, and every time he listened to it, he would naturally become calm and have a deeper understanding of the gains and losses in training or playing basketball during the day.
After finishing the video, Fang Mingyuan clicked replay and then opened his private messages.
He sent a private message to the video’s uploader, Lin Da Er Ren, asking for a higher quality MP3 version for more convenient listening.
But it had been eight days, and there was still no reply.
This time, there was still no response.
Fang Mingyuan felt disappointed. He opened the comment section and scrolled through it.
“Damn, what kind of immortal video is this? After listening to this chanting, I feel desireless and want to become a Buddha immediately!”
“I’ve been listening to this video for three days, and I’ve already broken up with my girlfriend. Now my mental state is super good, no insomnia, no nightmares, it feels great!”
“I found that this thing is a magic weapon for quitting masturbation. After listening, I don’t feel anything anymore!”
“That’s right, the first time I listened, I was almost scared to death. I thought I had erectile dysfunction.”
“I bow to you, please release an MP3 version!”
There were over thirty thousand comments, with most people marveling at the magical effect of this chanting, and the rest were begging for an MP3 version.
A Bilibili member named ‘Sun Wukong Lost His Golden Cudgel’ transcribed the video into an audio format, uploaded it to Baidu Cloud, and posted the link in the comment section for people to download.
The replies under this comment had already exceeded a thousand.
After Fang Mingyuan left a message asking for the MP3 version, he clicked on Lin Da Er Ren’s ID, entered his profile, and clicked on the ‘Charge for Him’ button.
A page appeared asking him to select the amount to charge.
Fang Mingyuan chose a custom amount and entered 100 yuan before scanning the QR code to pay.
Bang!
The door of the dorm suddenly burst open with great force, startling Fang Mingyuan.
