The morning breeze of autumn was a bit chilly, but the basketball court of Haijing University was hot.

Many people heard a loud banging sound and looked over, only to find a boy dunking. They came over to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Lin Baici displayed an extreme beauty of violence. Every dunk seemed like it could kill the basketball hoop.

When everyone heard the creaking sound of the basketball hoop, like a strongman being hammered, their souls trembled.

Excitement soared.

Many people took out their phones.

Bang!

After another tomahawk dunk by Lin Baici, he landed and suddenly realized that he was being watched. He had no choice but to stop and say, “I’m going back!”

“Okay!”

Xiao Huya nodded.

Lin Baici wanted to say that one should look forward, as tomorrow’s sun might be even more beautiful, but he gave up when the words reached his lips.

“Goodbye!”

Lin Baici passed the basketball to Xiao Huya.

“Goodbye!”

Xiao Huya looked at the basketball in her arms and traced the name “Feng Qin” with her finger, stroke by stroke.

This basketball was left by Feng Qin and had his signature on it.

“He’s so stupid. Why didn’t he invite her for breakfast?”

“Are they having a conflict? Look at that girl’s red eyes. She has obviously cried!”

“Damn it, don’t stop, keep dunking! If I had basketball skills like this, I could play from morning till night!”

People discussed and gossiped. The girls were curious, while the boys wanted to see Lin Baici continue dunking, as it was a real stress reliever.

“Classmate, can we take a photo together?”

“Are you from the school basketball team? Can you sign on the basketball for me?”

“Hey handsome, which department are you from? Will you come tomorrow? Let’s play basketball together!”

Several outgoing students, both male and female, came over to talk to Lin Baici.

In the distance, Ji Xinyan and Pei Fei watched as Lin Baici apologized to the crowd and walked towards the cafeteria.

“Why do I feel that Lin Baici’s back looks a bit desolate?”

Ji Xinyan frowned.

“Desolate? I think he looks spirited! If he dunks like this on the basketball court every day, he’ll become famous within a week at the latest.”

Pei Fei believed that Lin Baici had the potential to become the school’s heartthrob.

“Isn’t he famous enough now?”

Ji Xinyan asked in return, “There are several hot posts on the campus forum discussing him!”

“No, I mean that kind of universally recognized excellence, like good looks, good grades, sports achievements, and talent…”

Pei Fei’s concept was still quite traditional.

“Ah, shallow-minded woman!”

Ji Xinyan shook her head and watched as Lin Baici disappeared on the playground. She was curious about which woman could win over Lin Baici.

What?

Lin Baici pursuing a girl?

Joking, with his personality, he definitely wasn’t the proactive type.

For no reason, Ji Xinyan thought of Zhu Qiunan, whom she had seen yesterday. It seemed like she had a good chance.

After having breakfast, Lin Baici went to class.

A day passed unconsciously.

In the evening, in the dormitory.

“Gambling God, come play cards!”

Zhang Zhixu pushed open the door like an old friend and called Lin Baici to play cards.

“I have a headache today and don’t want to play!”

Lin Baici didn’t want to go. Playing poker meant squeezing together with a bunch of people, and his sense of smell had improved now. That smell was really refreshing.

“Oh damn, a headache is even better, I can finally beat you!”

Zhang Zhixu was happy when he heard that Lin Baici had a headache. He dragged him to play cards.

“What’s going on?”

Qian Jiahui was curious, and the others in the dormitory also looked over.

“Lin Baici can remember the order of the cards, all 108 of them. Do you guys think he’s a gambling god?”

Zhang Zhixu was envious. If he had that ability, he would definitely go to the casino and make a fortune.

“I can remember too, it’s not that difficult!”

Liu Yu scoffed.

“Then you give it a try?”

Zhang Zhixu chuckled.

“No, I’m going to study in the evening!”

Playing cards was a waste of life.

“Gambling God, let’s go.”

Zhang Zhixu urged.

“I really don’t want to play today!”

Lin Baici had a headache. Instead of playing cards with them, he might as well go find Hua Yueyu to play. Oh right, she still owed him a feast!

“Oh damn, Lao Bai, isn’t this you?”

Fang Mingyuan, who was watching a video, suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhang Zhixu approached.

Qian Jiahui and Hu Wenwu were also curious.

Lin Baici thought that Fang Mingyuan was referring to his two chanting videos, but when Fang Mingyuan took off his earphones and showed the video to everyone, all Lin Baici heard was the banging sound.

“Oh damn, is Lao Bai dunking in this video?”

Zhang Zhixu was shocked.In the video, Lin Baici leaped into the air like a flying man and dunked the basketball into the hoop. Instead of landing, he grabbed onto the rim with one hand and looked down upon the crowd.

“Damn, this guy is a beast!”

“Why is he wearing long pants and a sports shirt? I want to see his thigh muscles and biceps!”

“This is too intense. I’m worried that the basketball hoop will collapse from his dunk!”

“So wild, so domineering. Which school’s team is he from?”

In the video, the barrage of comments was overwhelming.

“Turn off the barrage so I can enjoy it!”

Zhang Zhixu urged Fang Mingyuan to turn off the barrage because there were too many comments and it was hard to see.

Qian Jiahui turned his head and glanced at Lin Baici, saying, “The clothes are the same, it’s confirmed, it’s Lao Bai!”

The person who uploaded the video was a bit far from the basketball court, and Lin Baici’s constant movement made his face not very clear, but the clothes were exactly the same.

“Lao Bai, you’re not being nice. I’ve asked you several times to play basketball, but you refused. And now you’re playing by yourself?”

Fang Mingyuan had a resentful expression, like a wife abandoned by her husband.

“I didn’t want to go. My friend was feeling down, so I accompanied her!”

Lin Baici explained.

“Is it this little girl? She looks pretty good!”

Qian Jiahui noticed Xiaohuya. After all, besides Lin Baici, Xiaohuya was the only other person who dared to enter the basketball court. The others were too embarrassed to join in.

For a dunking god like him, the basketball court was his territory.

“Her head is too small, isn’t it?”

Xu Daguan leaned over and took a glance, smirked lewdly, and said, “Lao Bai, you’re so bold, going straight to the stomach!”

“Xu Daguan, don’t talk nonsense. She’s my friend!”

Lin Baici frowned.

It didn’t matter if he drove a car normally, but Xiaohuya had just broken up with her boyfriend, so it was disrespectful to say such things.

Xu Daguan curled his lips.

“Lao Bai, your skills are too rough. You’re really wasting your body. If you practice with me, you can enter the top three in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest!”

Fang Mingyuan envied him.

He liked watching basketball videos when he had nothing to do. Today, he accidentally came across this dunk video with a shocking title: “College Student Dunks Dominating NBA Professional Players.”

He thought the title was just a gimmick and wanted to criticize it, but he didn’t expect to see Lin Baici and his amazing performance.

“This video is quite relaxing to watch. Send me the link!”

Qian Jiahui wanted to save it.

It was like watching stones rolling down from a height, smashing ice with stones, and cleaning stains with a high-pressure water gun. It always gave people a strange sense of pleasure.

Zhang Zhixu was a big-mouthed person, and soon everyone knew that Lin Baici’s dunk video had been secretly filmed and uploaded online.

After everyone watched it, they unanimously agreed that Lin Baici was the basketball king of this generation.

So, after becoming the gambling king, Lin Baici received another nickname as the basketball king just a few days later. It was a compliment, and Fang Mingyuan was envious.

The night was long, and Lin Baici opened the Origin Forum.

In the lobby section, six out of ten posts were about the Qin Palace God’s Ruins, all spreading news about many veteran hunter teams coming to conquer the Qin Palace.

Lin Baici searched for posts about the Busan God’s Ruins, but there were very few, and they didn’t have much reading value. After that, he clicked into the help section.

There was a post asking how to activate the urinal, with a reward of 100,000 yuan, but there were a few more pictures.

Lin Baici didn’t lack money now, so he planned to save up some more.

He would wait until he had 300,000 yuan before harvesting again.

The post by “Praise the Sun” hadn’t been settled yet, but Lin Baici wasn’t in a hurry.

30,000 yuan was just pocket money for him now.

He didn’t know where “Praise the Sun” got these pictures from.

The next day, Lin Baici called Gu Qingxiang and said he wasn’t feeling well, so he asked for a day off.

“Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital?”

Gu Qingxiang was worried.

“…”

Lin Baici hesitated and couldn’t come up with a good excuse, so he let Gu Qingxiang figure it out.

Just agree with it. What’s the point of you accompanying me to the hospital?

Are you as free as a counselor?

But Lin Baici was still grateful for Gu Qingxiang’s concern. “It’s nothing. Maybe I caught a cold from taking a cold shower. I have a headache, stomachache, and I feel uncomfortable all over.”

Ah!

Xiaolin, you’ve become corrupted too. You’ve learned to lie.

“Alright, take good rest and drink more hot water.”

Gu Qingxiang advised.

“Okay!”

Lin Baici hung up the phone and immediately called a taxi to find Jin Yingzhen. Goryeo Meimei was leaving tomorrow, so he planned to spend the day with her.

Speaking of which, Gu Qingxiang was quite lucky. On the night when the Bosho District had a rule contamination outbreak, she happened to be on duty and didn’t go back. Otherwise, her identity as a Divine Hunter would have been exposed.

The place Lin Baici arranged was the Western Suburbs Zoo.The park is very big. Lin Baici and Jin Yingzhen spent the whole day there and came out before closing time. Then they went to Wangjiang Tower to have a meal of Anhui cuisine.

Lin Baici didn’t know much about this, so he asked Qian Jiahui and chose a restaurant that Jin Yingzhen might like.

After the meal, it was 7:30. Jin Yingzhen drove Lin Baici back to Haijing University.

“Do you have something to do today?”

During dinner, Lin Baici noticed that Jin Yingzhen was eating quickly. “You could have told me in advance, we can make plans for another day.”

“I’m fine. Today is Friday, isn’t your school organizing a welcome party? I don’t want you to miss it!”

Jin Yingzhen explained.

“…”

Lin Baici didn’t know what to say. Jin Yingzhen’s small concern made him feel warm.

“Oppa, go and watch the party. There will be a lot of students today. Maybe you’ll see a girl you want to pursue!”

Jin Yingzhen waved her fist. “I believe with Oppa’s charm, any girl will be captivated by you!”

“To be honest, I don’t know what kind of girl I like.”

Lin Baici didn’t have a concept of that in his mind.

“You’ll know when you meet her!”

Jin Yingzhen sighed in her heart. Has Oppa never considered me? But there is one thing that makes Jin Yingzhen happy, and that is Lin Baici didn’t take advantage of her. Otherwise, if Lin Baici sweet-talked her a little, Jin Yingzhen would have fallen for him.

“Go quickly, don’t miss the party!”

Jin Yingzhen urged.

“Then be careful on your way back!”

Lin Baici got off the car and walked a dozen steps before Jin Yingzhen chased after him with a bag in her hand.

“Oppa!”

Jin Yingzhen ran over. “This is a gift for you!”

After handing the bag to Lin Baici, Jin Yingzhen reached out and hugged him.

The streetlight at the school gate cast their shadows long.

Some students entering the campus couldn’t help but look over.

After all, Jin Yingzhen’s figure was highlighted by her low-cut sweater and tight jeans.

“Oppa, I’m leaving!”

Jin Yingzhen waved her hand.

“Did you meet a girl you like?”

Lin Baici muttered to himself. He checked the time. It was almost 8 o’clock, and the party was about to start. He didn’t go back to the dormitory but went straight to the playground.

The temporary stage was already set up. The freshmen of the first year were sitting on the lawn with cushions, organized by majors. Each person also received two glow sticks, one red and one blue.

There were lights on the playground, but it wasn’t very bright, and there were too many people. Lin Baici searched for five minutes and finally found the position of the Software Engineering Class 01 in the crowd on the west side.

Just as Lin Baici was about to go in, someone called him.

“Lin Baici!”

The voice was very familiar to Lin Baici. It was Gu Qingxiang.

“Instructor!”

Lin Baici turned around and saw Gu Qingxiang walking towards him. He smiled and greeted her.

In this kind of occasion, the instructor must be present. In case something goes wrong, she can handle it in time.

“Are you feeling better?”

Gu Qingxiang observed Lin Baici’s complexion and then looked at the bag he was carrying.

“I’m fine. A friend gave me something, so I went to pick it up!”

Lin Baici explained.

“Well, take care of yourself and enjoy the party!”

Gu Qingxiang reminded.

“Damn, is that it? I thought the instructor was going to give you a lecture!”

“Tell me, where did you skip class and go today?”

“Ball king, come and sit with us!”

As soon as Lin Baici came over, everyone greeted him and made room for him. However, Lin Baici still sat next to Hu Wenwu and Fang Mingyuan.

They sat directly on the ground without cushions.

“Lin Baici is so popular among the boys!”

Pei Fei saw everyone talking to Lin Baici and felt that she couldn’t compete for the position of class monitor anymore.

Sigh!

Just accept it!

Ji Xinyan looked at the bag in Lin Baici’s hand. Although the lighting was dim and she couldn’t see clearly, judging from the style, it should be Armani.

Lin Baici was not someone who liked to show off, so he probably didn’t know that it was a luxury brand, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought it here.

“It should be a gift from some girl to him!”

Ji Xinyan discovered her potential as a detective.

At eight o’clock, the welcome party officially began. A male and female pair of hosts walked onto the stage.

“Youth is invincible, full of vitality. Our Haijing University welcomes a new generation of young talents. Our dreams take off here, our dreams bloom here…”

The female host delivered the opening speech. Although it was a bit cliché, her gentle and clear voice was quite infectious.

“She is Mi Qin!”

“The goddess of the School of Economics and Management!”

“Damn, she’s really beautiful, well-deserved reputation!”

In the audience, students whispered to each other. Not only the boys, but even the girls were discussing. After all, their goal was to become a girl like Mi Qin.”Who’s that male host? He’s quite handsome!”

“Indeed, good looks do give you an advantage!”

“His eloquence and demeanor are impressive!”

“He’s Zheng Haixuan from the Foreign Language Institute!”

Although Zheng Haixuan was just a freshman, he knew how to hype himself up. He had bought some internet trolls and posted some threads on the campus forum, so he had some fame.

Lin Baici didn’t pay attention to Zheng Haixuan. Instead, it was Mi Qin who caught his eye.

She was wearing a white knee-length cotton skirt, flesh-colored stockings on her legs, a pair of small leather shoes, and a thin woolen sweater with a stand-up collar on her upper body. The slim-fit style perfectly highlighted her chest and waist curves.

She had long hair, tied up in a bun at the back of her head, without any hair accessories. Her face was slightly oval, but her chin was a bit pointed.

She was not tall, just over 1.6 meters, but her voice was very clear, full of vitality.

“Wow, I’ve found a delicious dessert, really sweet, the kind that can cause tooth decay. All her strong behaviors and aura are just a disguise. In essence, she is a gentle girl!”

“All she’s doing now is her mother’s wish!”

“She wants to experience her own adventure, not a life planned by others!”

“I suggest eating her like a salmon, raw, and you’ll taste a rare sweetness!”

“Be very careful, she has a fertile constitution!”

Lin Baici noticed that Miss Mi Qin had very good skin. When she smiled, there were dimples on her cheeks, giving people a sense of a girl-next-door looking after her younger brother, or a virtuous wife waiting for her husband at the door.

In a word, she was soft!

“Damn, my heart is melting when the senior sister smiles!”

Zhang Zhixu sighed. He felt he was in love, but such a top-notch beauty was not something he could pursue.

“Mine is also melting, into the shape of Senior Sister Mi Qin!”

Someone joked.

“How about it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?”

Xu Daguan wanted to live stream and gain a lot of traffic by filming Mi Qin, but he was standing too far away for everyone to see her clearly. If he got too close, he might be taken away by the people maintaining order.

Annoying!

After the two hosts’ opening remarks, it was the dean’s speech. Whether he was eager to go home or didn’t want to dampen everyone’s spirits, he said a few simple words, and the show began.

There were singing, crosstalk, and pipa solo.

There were taekwondo fights, magic shows, and ballet performances.

When the six senior sisters in golden cheongsams started dancing to NOBODY on stage, someone in the audience whistled, and then the cheers rose wave after wave.

This was an old song by a Korean girl group, but it was very explosive and set off the first climax of today’s welcome party.

When the six senior sisters left, the two hosts came on stage.

“Thank you to the six senior sisters from the School of Media for their wonderful performance!”

After clapping a few times, Zheng Haixuan continued: “This year’s freshmen, from the first day of school, are special and extraordinary. They experienced a terrible disturbance at the military training performance, but one freshman stood out and became everyone’s hero!”

“Now, let’s invite this hero on stage to perform for us!”

Zheng Haixuan started clapping.

“…”

A look of surprise appeared on Mi Qin’s face. This was not in line with the scheduled program order, but her excellent facial expression management skills allowed her to keep smiling.

She didn’t pick up the conversation because she didn’t know what Zheng Haixuan was up to.
