Chapter 18 Conditions
Chen Qing frowned almost imperceptibly and politely declined, saying, "Then good luck to you guys. I'm just here to check out the dorms today, and I probably won't be staying here for long. I hope your transition to the main campus goes smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Li Xian's expression changed almost immediately, and he snorted coldly, "Looks like they're so capable that they look down on us nobody!"
Liu Hong stood in the middle, his expression somewhat grim. He glanced at Chen Qing without making a sound, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: This kid is really stupid, he can't see the situation.
However, given the situation, Liu Hong naturally wouldn't offend Li Xian for Chen Qing's sake. So he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xian, he's a special admission student, so it's normal that he doesn't think much of me. You're different from us; you're already a distinguished mid-level mage right after entering the university. Your future is limitless!"
Li Xian's mood improved considerably after being praised, but he still looked at Chen Qing with some disdain.
In his eyes, Chen Qing was just a kid who had only awakened a little over a year ago. No matter how extraordinary his talent was, he couldn't compare to him. You should know that with Li Xian's grades and cultivation, he could easily get into the Imperial Capital Academy and the Pearl Academy. The reason he chose to come to the Ancient Capital Academy was simply because he heard that the light system here was very powerful.
Since they don't know how to assess the situation, there's no need to take care of little kids.
Li Xian put his hands behind his head and swaggered out the door: "Come on, I'm in a good mood today, I'll take you guys out for a big meal!"
Liu Hong cheered, "Brother Xian is awesome!"
Yang Yi, at least having some sense of propriety, wasn't as blatant as Liu Hong, but he still showed some flattery towards Li Xian, so he naturally wouldn't refuse Li Xian's invitation at this moment.
Li Xian looked at Chen Qing with amusement. If Chen Qing followed along, when it came time to pay the bill, he would pretend to be in a difficult position and say that he was short of money and could only afford to pay for two people's share. He would have to pay for Chen Qing's share himself. If Chen Qing could bow his head and admit defeat, he would be willing to pay for his share as well.
What made Li Xian's face even uglier was that Chen Qing seemed not to have heard him at all, and continued to pack her things without any intention of following him.
This infuriated Li Xian, who snorted and stormed off.
In fact, Chen Qing really didn't want to have much interaction with Li Xian. To put it simply, he didn't like people who were even more pretentious than him.
One pretentious person is enough.
As for the other two...
Chen Qing shook his head. He didn't actually have any ill feelings towards Liu Hong and Yang Yi. On the contrary, he actually admired Liu Hong, who was willing to go to great lengths for personal gain.
Li Xianming clearly comes from a distinguished family and is not a bad person; on the contrary, he is quite generous. If Liu Hong flatters him smoothly, he might actually gain a lot of benefits from him. Compared to real cultivation resources, a little face probably doesn't matter.
Yang Yi, on the other hand, is someone who can't bring himself to do it, yet still wants to curry favor with others...
All Chen Qing could say was, "I wish him success."
To make it easier for him to attend high school, he had previously rented a house in the ancient capital, which was not far from the university. So he had planned to continue living there. Therefore, it is true that he would not have much interaction with his roommates in the future.
After packing his things, Chen Qing rushed to the dean's office at the Qing Campus without stopping.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Please come in."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Dean Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Chen Qing."
"I remember you. Among the new students this year, you are the youngest. You are truly a young hero!" Dean Lin adjusted his glasses slightly and said with a smile.
"How's it going since the start of the semester? How's it going to get to know everything on campus?"
Chen Qing nodded: "The university is very large and excellent. I am honored to be a member of this ancient capital's university!"
Dean Lin laughed heartily, "That's good!"
"You came to see me specifically today, is there something you need?"
Chen Qing smiled shyly: "Nothing can escape your discerning eye, sir. There is indeed a small matter I'd like to consult with you, Dean..."
"Speak freely, whatever your questions are!"
Chen Qing nodded: "First of all, there's the matter of the magic weapon rental that the academy mentioned to me before. I want to rent a Nebula Magic Weapon from the academy, the higher the quality the better... Also, there's the Wild Goose Pagoda training opportunity, I hope to use it now."
"No problem." Dean Lin nodded. "The rental was already agreed upon. The academy happens to have a Soul-level Nebula Magic Artifact available. I'll have someone deliver it to you later. However, the rental fee isn't cheap, so you should be prepared."
"As for the Wild Goose Pagoda..." Dean Lin hesitated for a moment, "The Wild Goose Pagoda is known as a sacred place of earth element, and it is one of the best in the country. It is also very beneficial to the cultivation of other elemental mages. I still suggest that you wait until you reach a bottleneck before going there, so that you can gain more benefits. Of course, this is an opportunity for you, and the final decision is up to you. The academy will only support you."
Chen Qing had already thought it through: "Dean, I've already decided. I'll exchange for that cultivation opportunity now—but if I may ask one more question, I've heard that the top-ranked person on our academy's monthly undead list receives a cultivation opportunity at the Wild Goose Pagoda. Is that true?"
Dean Lin's eyes lit up: "Oh ho, this little guy has quite the ambition, actually setting his sights on this."
"Haha, not bad. The first place winner does indeed get a chance to enter the Wild Goose Pagoda. However, although our ancient capital's academy can't compare to those few top academies, it's still full of hidden talents. It won't be easy for you to take first place!"
"The student understands." Chen Qing smiled. "Since the information is confirmed to be accurate, then there's no problem."
"Hahaha, excellent, excellent!" Dean Lin's eyes were practically overflowing with admiration. "It's a good thing that a young person has such vigor. If you can really take first place on the Undead Ranking within a year, I'll personally give you another gift—don't worry, it won't be cheap!"
Chen Qing was overjoyed: "Then the student really took it seriously."
Dean Lin waved his hand: "A gentleman's word is his bond!"
Being number one on the list of the undead, and even number one within the academy, was a piece of cake for Chen Qing. He was very confident that Dean Lin would have to spend a lot of money in the first month.
Soon, Dean Lin sent someone to deliver a nebula magic artifact shaped like a porcelain tiger: "Take this and use it first. You'll need it when you cultivate in the Wild Goose Pagoda. If you don't have enough money, I can help you pay for it first."
Chen Qing was deeply moved, but although most of the money had been used to buy spirit seeds, he still had some savings left, so he could afford the rental fees. Therefore, he politely declined.
Dean Lin didn't say anything, but simply had someone take him to the Wild Goose Pagoda.
The person leading the way was a senior student from the main campus named Liang Shan.
