Voluntary Withdrawal? For Everyone's Good?

Su Xing sneered inwardly, "I doubt it's for everyone's good, just for your performance as the class advisor, right?"

As the class advisor of Su Xing and his classmates, Liu Xiaodong naturally had to be responsible for the students' evaluation metrics and their employment rates after graduation.

However, Su Xing was currently far from meeting the gold-level standards, and Liu Xiaodong probably intended to expel Su Xing from the school.

Of course, being forcibly expelled would not sound good.

But if a student withdrew voluntarily due to special circumstances, it would be different!

But would Su Xing comply with his wishes? Of course not!

Su Xing shook his head and said, "Teacher Liu, I have no intention of withdrawing voluntarily. After all, the environment at school is quite good for me!"

Liu Xiaodong's expression changed slightly, but he continued, "Su Xing, I know it's not easy for you right now. If you're willing to withdraw voluntarily, I'm willing to represent the college and give you a compensation of 500,000 Daxia coins. What do you think?"

"Besides, I can help you find a job! The security guard position in my neighborhood is open, and with your abilities, you can give it a try!"

Su Xing's face darkened after hearing this.

A mere 500,000 coins to make him leave?

And even offering to introduce him to a security job? This was clearly an insult!

Su Xing stared intently at Liu Xiaodong, recalling the humble request he made three years ago to become his student.

Back then, he even promised to give Su Xing a scholarship of 3 million coins per year.

Of course, he never gave a single coin.

Su Xing took a deep breath and said firmly, "Teacher Liu, I have no intention of withdrawing. I think the atmosphere at Kyoto Vocational University is quite good and suitable for my cultivation!"

Hearing Su Xing's words, Teacher Liu stopped pretending and sneered, "Su Xing! Haven't you realized the situation yet? You're not the genius you were three years ago!"

"You are now the bottom of the class, a complete burden!"

"Kyoto Vocational University is a prestigious school with a history of hundreds of years. Do you want to ruin the school's reputation because of you? Can you live with yourself?"

Liu Xiaodong slammed the table and mocked, "If you withdraw voluntarily now, you can still save some face. Otherwise, when you are forcibly expelled, you will be ridiculed by the entire school!"

Hearing Liu Xiaodong's words, Su Xing felt even more disdain.

Kyoto Vocational University, being the top institution in the country, would not care whether he graduated or not. Even if he didn't graduate, it wouldn't necessarily tarnish the school's reputation.

Liu Xiaodong, in the end, was just concerned about his own performance metrics.

So Su Xing ignored him and said calmly, "Teacher Liu, do you have anything else? If not, I'll be going back!"

With that, Su Xing turned and left without giving him any face.

Liu Xiaodong was furious and raged in the office.

Su Xing had simulated the future and knew that Kyoto Vocational University would not forcibly expel him at the moment.

Even if he were to withdraw, it would be five years later.

During this time, he naturally chose to stay at the school.

After all, the outside world was dangerous, while Kyoto Vocational University was full of experts, making it safer for Su Xing.

Moreover, the resources within the school could help him quickly obtain the energy needed for simulations.

After leaving the office, Su Xing spent all his savings and the 5 million Daxia coins borrowed from Yu Fatty.

He used the money to buy nearly 4,000 pieces of white-quality equipment.

He then converted all the equipment into energy.

As a result, Su Xing's energy reached an astonishing 22,040 points!

Over 20,000 points of energy was a huge sum for Su Xing.

For the next week, Su Xing continued to level up by leading new players through dungeons.

Occasionally, he would check on his junior, Wang Qingxuan.

Finally, the day came when the simulator's usage count was refreshed.

In his dormitory, Su Xing chose to simulate without hesitation.

"Whether I can step onto the path of cultivation depends on this!"

"Start the simulation!"

[Consumed 500 points of energy, remaining energy: 21,540 points, remaining simulation count: 0.]

[Simulation started!]

[Drawing a white talent costs 100 points of energy, drawing a green talent costs 1,000 points of energy. Do you want to draw?]

"Draw a white talent!"

Although Su Xing had enough energy to draw a green talent, he was ultimately aiming to bring out spirit stones, so a white talent was sufficient.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent: You Went Bald, But Didn't Get Stronger.]

[You Went Bald, But Didn't Get Stronger]: White talent. You prematurely lose your hair, making you look like a high monk in a temple, which makes you more trustworthy and likable to others.

Su Xing: ???

What kind of talent is this?

Su Xing checked his hair, which was still thick.

[You touched your hair, and several strands fell out.]

[You felt uneasy and immediately bought a strong shampoo and minoxidil on Taobao, hoping to treat your hair loss.]

[You continued to lead new players through dungeons, always reaping substantial rewards.]

[Half a year passed, and your hair became increasingly sparse, but your wallet grew fatter.]

[Your thinning hair affected your appearance, and you missed many opportunities to interact deeply with new female students.]

[But Wang Qingxuan never looked down on you and remained very enthusiastic.]

[Another half a year passed, and your hair became even thinner. You decided to shave your head completely.]

[For some reason, as a bald head, you preferred to use your fists to crush the monsters in the dungeons. Due to your strong physique, you could often one-hit kill them.]

[Your friendly appearance made new students more willing to find you for leveling, and you accumulated 30 million assets in just one year.]

[You became somewhat famous within Kyoto Vocational University, with the nickname: One-Punch Man.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you and told you about a mysterious organization.]

Su Xing subconsciously touched his hair and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he had already obtained the first half of the Longchun Gong and didn't really want to get involved with that organization anymore.

However, the problem was that he only had the first half of the Longchun Gong, and Su Xing needed to lay the groundwork for the future.

The Longchun Gong originated from this mysterious organization, and there might be the second half within it!

Su Xing took a deep breath and continued the simulation.

[You felt that Wang Qingxuan joining this mysterious organization would be more beneficial to you, so you followed the plan and still tried to persuade her not to join.]

[The next morning, you were left alone in the hotel bed, and Wang Qingxuan had withdrawn again.]

[You knew that Wang Qingxuan had joined the mysterious organization again, so you weren't too worried.]

Su Xing frowned slightly, and an idea came to mind.

"Could it be that my thoughts in reality can be immediately reflected in the simulator?"
