“Scan Alipay!”

Lin Baici took out his phone and scanned the code to pay.

The majority of the bill for this morning’s tea was on that pot of coffee.

Jin Yingzhen didn’t rush to pay. Men always had a chauvinistic mentality, especially when there were other customers around. Paying for themselves might make the young man lose face.

After settling the bill, the two of them left.

Huang Tao stared at Jin Yingzhen’s tightly wrapped buttocks, but only noticed after they left that he had been too focused on listening to their conversation and had neglected to entertain Ji Xinyan.

Soon, the couple sat in the Mercedes-Benz worth nearly 2 million RMB under the shade of a tree, started the car, and drove away.

“What a trashy man!”

Huang Tao sneered, “I will earn that car through my own abilities!”

“Heh heh!”

Ji Xinyan chuckled, “Do you think he can make a super rich Korean girl treat him like that just with his face?”

Ji Xinyan could tell that the Korean girl was very respectful and careful in front of that young man.

“He was picked up by an artist!”

Huang Tao sneered, full of disdain, “In other words, that Korean girl is a slut!”

Ji Xinyan took a sip of coffee and couldn’t be bothered to respond. She had decided that no matter how her mother persuaded her, she would never go out with Huang Tao again.

He was too shallow.

…

After having lunch with Jin Yingzhen, Lin Baici accompanied her for a stroll around the campus before sending her to the main gate.

“You go back, I know the way!”

Jin Yingzhen hugged Lin Baici.

“Be safe on the way!”

Lin Baici reminded her.

“Okay!”

Jin Yingzhen got in the car and waved to Lin Baici before heading back to the Hilton Hotel.

This was their agreement. The car would be parked in the hotel’s parking lot, and Lin Baici would go and get it when he needed it.

After seeing off the Korean girl, Lin Baici used Meituan to search for a large supermarket near the school and found a Yonghui.

He took a look around, bought some daily necessities and snacks, and then returned to the dormitory.

His roommates were not there.

It seemed that everyone was new to the school and everything was fresh to them.

Lin Baici moved a chair and sat on the balcony, browsing the Origin Forum, trying to accumulate as much knowledge as possible so that he wouldn’t be clueless during his next exploration of the God’s Ruins.

In the evening, the roommates gradually returned.

Hu Wenwu was reading, Xu Daguan was livestreaming, Liu Yu was watching videos, Qian Jiahui was boredly playing with his laptop, and Fang Mingyuan was not there, presumably playing basketball.

At 11 o’clock, the lights in the entire dormitory building were turned off on time.

No one chatted anymore and everyone started to sleep because the registration was over today and formal military training would begin tomorrow.

…

Early the next morning, everyone put on the military training uniforms and rubber shoes provided by the school and gathered at the playground.

The freshmen were divided into groups based on their majors.

There were a total of nine classes in the Software Engineering major, with more than 300 students, forming four formations, with separate formations for male and female students, each with two formations.

On the boys’ side, about twenty extra people were thrown into the Electrical Engineering formation.

Lin Baici, who was 1.88 meters tall, was too tall and was arranged to be in the last row.

The instructor was a young man in his twenties, who looked very sturdy and spoke with a Northwestern accent. He had a strong presence and on the first day, he made everyone stand under the sun for thirty minutes.

Line up, march, left turn, right turn, it was the traditional military training routine, nothing special.

The only fun part might be looking at the girls.

Everyone was wearing green military training uniforms and the same hat. At this time, it was still possible to stand out from a group of girls and make people think they were beautiful. That meant they were really good-looking.

The first day passed like this.

In the evening, except for Lin Baici and Fang Mingyuan, even Hu Wenwu, who often did farm work, was too tired to move and went to bed early.

“Old Bai, you’re just a beast!”

Qian Jiahui envied Lin Baici for being so relaxed.

Fang Mingyuan was also surprised. He was a sports major and exercised regularly, so it was normal for him not to be tired, but what was going on with Lin Baici?

His physical fitness seemed to be even better than his own.

The second day of military training continued, but on the girls’ side, there were cases of heatstroke.

“Disperse, take a fifteen-minute break!”

Instructor Li shouted and then called out to Lin Baici, “Lin Baici, come here!”

Some people looked at Lin Baici curiously, wondering why the instructor was looking for him, while others didn’t care and sat on the ground chatting with the people around them.

Mobile phones were not allowed during military training, so it was boring.

“Instructor!”

Lin Baici thought for a moment and realized that he hadn’t made any mistakes!

“Do you want to be the flag bearer?”

Instructor Li got straight to the point.

“Huh?”

Lin Baici didn’t expect it to be something like this.

The military training would last for nine days, and on the tenth day, there would be a performance for the entire school. The school leaders and military leaders would come to review the results of the freshmen’s military training during this period.

The flag bearer was the person who carried the red flag and walked at the front of all the formations. They could be said to be the most dazzling.

Of course, personal appearance was very important. They couldn’t be ugly or too short.

“What? Do you want to or not? Speak!”

Instructor Li had high hopes for Lin Baici.

This student had excellent physical fitness, long limbs, sharp and agile eyes. If he went to the army, he would definitely be a promising soldier.

“I don’t mind!”Lin Baici spoke honestly. If it had been before, he would have definitely taken up the challenge to test himself. But now, he was a god hunter, such attention-seeking matters were irrelevant to him.

“What do you mean it doesn’t matter!”

Instructor Li lowered his voice, “After the military training, there will be a selection for outstanding individuals and groups. If you can get the outstanding individual award, it will be very beneficial for you to join the student council or the party in the future. Moreover, being the flag bearer can also attract the attention of the department leaders!”

“At the very least, showing your face like this will make it easier for you to find a girlfriend in the future!”

Instructor Li and his team were in charge of military training at various universities every year, so they were very familiar with these matters.

“I’ll listen to the instructor!”

Since the instructor had made things so clear, it would be ungrateful of him not to agree.

“Alright, go and prepare. After the selection, there will be individual training!”

Instructor Li patted Lin Baici’s shoulder.

What a pity for this body, it would be great if he could be his soldier!

Xu Daguan had been watching this side. As soon as Lin Baici came back, he immediately came over, “What did the instructor want with you?”

“What else could it be, to be the flag bearer!”

The one who spoke was a tall guy named Zhang Zhixu. He wore glasses and was very thin, like a sorghum stalk. He was also in the last row, on the right side of Lin Baici.

They were all from the Software Engineering 01 class.

“Flag bearer?”

Xu Daguan was surprised.

“Yes, with Lin’s physique and looks, he is definitely the best flag bearer in history!”

To be a flag bearer, Zhang Zhixu was tall enough, but his body was too thin, and he wore glasses, his appearance was too ordinary.

“Being a flag bearer is not about the looks.”

Xu Daguan muttered, somewhat envious. However, he also understood that with his height, he was not even as tall as the flagpole, he had no chance of being a flag bearer in this lifetime.

The break was over, and the training continued.

There was no wind, no clouds, and the sun was hanging in the sky without any restraint, roasting the earth.

Soon, there were screams from the female formation.

“Why can’t we train less on such a hot day?”

“I want to pretend to have a heatstroke!”

“Do you think the school doctor is idle?”

The students were sweating profusely, and their training uniforms were soaked.

Finally, it was another break time. Everyone sat on the ground, listless, and some even took off their training uniforms and covered their heads.

A few students brought water and placed it on the side of the playground. After reporting to the instructor, they ran over to drink.

Lin Baici licked his lips.

He could hold on, but why should he?

So he got up, went to find the instructor, said a few words, and then came back, “Mingyuan, Wenwu, come, let’s go buy some water!”

Some people heard this and looked at the instructor.

“Those who want to buy water, go quickly, five minutes!”

Instructor Li looked at his watch.

Whoosh!

Many students immediately stood up and ran to the nearest No. 2 canteen. There was a supermarket on the first floor, which was run by a relative of some school leader.

When Lin Baici and the others arrived at the supermarket, Fang Mingyuan went straight to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of chilled cola, and threw them to Lin Baici and Hu Wenwu. He only took one bottle for himself, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

“Refreshing!”

Fang Mingyuan exhaled a sigh of relief.

Hu Wenwu didn’t drink.

“Don’t be polite with Mingyuan!”

Lin Baici actually wanted to drink water, but since Fang Mingyuan had given him cola, it wouldn’t be nice to refuse, so he also took a few sips, then he walked to the cashier.

“Madam, I want to buy more water. Do you have any tools like tricycles here?”

Behind the cashier was a middle-aged woman dressed quite stylishly. She raised her eyelids and looked at Lin Baici, “How much are you buying?”

Lin Baici thought about the number of people, “Give me ten cases of Nongfu Spring.”

One case contained 24 bottles.

“There’s an electric tricycle outside, do you know how to ride it?”

“I do!”

Hu Wenwu had ridden this in the village.

“Move the stuff yourself, and return it to me when you’re done.”

The woman instructed.

“No problem!”

Lin Baici let Hu Wenwu and Fang Mingyuan do the work first, and he settled the bill first.

Since they were not allowed to bring mobile phones, he had a lot of cash on him for emergencies.

It cost a total of 380, the woman didn’t give a discount, but she gave three cans of herbal tea.

“Why are you buying so much water?”

Fang Mingyuan was puzzled.

“For our class, it’s hot, we need to hydrate to avoid heatstroke!”

There were 32 people in Lin Baici’s Software Engineering 01 class, including 13 girls.

“You’re so generous!”

Fang Mingyuan would only buy water for his friends at most.

“From now on, we’re all in the same class, we should care for each other and increase the cohesion of the class.”

Lin Baici was not a stingy person even when he didn’t have much money before. Now that his income had skyrocketed, he was even more confident.

Hu Wenwu rode the electric tricycle carrying the mineral water, Lin Baici, and Fang Mingyuan. This scene attracted the attention of many freshmen as soon as they arrived near the playground.

You should know that there were thousands of new students undergoing military training on the playground at this time.
