Chapter 39

On the other side of the room, the upper bunk had already been smashed, and the lower bunk was previously Zhou Changxi's.

Tang Wulin tidied up his things and placed them on the lower bunk, then turned his head and coldly looked at Zhou Changxi.

"Get up!" Zhou Changxi growled.

Tang Wulin replied coldly, "Get lost!"

"You..." Zhou Changxi was furious and was about to charge forward.

"Don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten what Director Long said just now? Do you still want to become a mecha pilot?" Yun Xiao's voice drifted down from the upper bunk.

Zhou Changxi's breathing was clearly a bit rapid. Tang Wulin raised both hands and quickly dismantled the upper bunk bed board that had been crushed earlier, throwing it outside. The entire upper bunk was now completely gone.

"Is this the room?" A voice came from outside, and a middle-aged man who looked like a school staff member walked in with a wooden bed board.

He glanced at the few teenagers in the room, who had an uneasy atmosphere, and chuckled, "Alright! Fighting on the first day of school, you guys are really something! If you have the skills, keep fighting. Our wooden bed boards cost 10,000 federal coins each. Go ahead and fight! The more you break, the more bonuses I get." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the wooden board flew up and landed on the upper bunk, fitting perfectly with no gaps.

10,000 federal coins?

Tang Wulin's eyes instantly widened. It's just a wooden board!

"Teacher, can we not have it, or buy it ourselves?" Tang Wulin asked urgently.

The teacher snorted, "Do you think the school is your home? Vandalizing public property is a serious offense at the school. You are Tang Wulin, right? The window, the bed, and the wall repairs total 34,000 federal coins. Pay it as soon as possible at the registrar's office."

34,000 federal coins? Hearing this number, Tang Wulin was completely stunned. The money he had saved from three years of forging was only 30,000 federal coins! This is too expensive.

Zhou Changxi, who had been glaring at him, climbed up to the upper bunk and fell silent after hearing this number.

Tang Wulin plopped down on the lower bunk. What to do? 34,000 federal coins, that's 34,000 federal coins!

"I'm Xie Xie!" The cold and proud young man stood in front of Tang Wulin and said coolly.

"No need to thank me," Tang Wulin replied instinctively.

"No, no need to thank..." Xie Xie's face, which had always been stern, instantly fell. What does he mean by no need to thank?

He gritted his teeth and said, "I mean, my name is Xie Xie."

Tang Wulin was startled and looked up at him. In fact, she had already noticed that this young man was the one who had left on the soul conductor train at the station.

"What?" Tang Wulin said coldly.

Xie Xie's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Follow me outside the school, let's fight!"

At this moment, he was filled with humiliation. He couldn't understand why, with his strength, he would lose to someone with a blue silver grass soul beast. This guy's punches were so heavy that he was now speaking with a slur. From a young age, he had never been beaten like this.

However, he couldn't ignore Long Hengxu's words. If his record was tarnished, it would be a big problem.

"Get lost!" Tang Wulin said angrily. The words he had just said to Zhou Changxi were now directed at Xie Xie.

"What did you say?" Xie Xie instantly burst with a cold and domineering aura.

Tang Wulin glared at him, "Are you going to bully me forever? 34,000 federal coins, do you know what that means to my family? If you want to die, I'll beat you to death. I might as well not attend this school."

"Are you worried about this?" Xie Xie was taken aback. He had never really thought about money. 34,000 federal coins, what's the big deal?

Tang Wulin said, "For people like you in the city, 34,000 federal coins is nothing, but for me, it's what I can't earn in years of hard work. Don't provoke me anymore, or I'll fight you to the death."

Looking at Tang Wulin's gradually reddening eyes, for some reason, Xie Xie's aura weakened a bit.

"I'll pay for it, let's fight!" Xie Xie said coldly.

Tang Wulin was stunned, "You'll pay?"

Xie Xie, seeing the redness in his eyes disappear and the sudden joy in his eyes, didn't know what to say. This guy...

"I'll pay!" Xie Xie gritted his teeth.

"Alright!" Tang Wulin quickly agreed, fearing he would change his mind. That's 34,000 federal coins! "When?"

One fight could save 34,000 federal coins, even if he got beaten up, it would be worth it.

Xie Xie, seeing his eager look, felt a bit annoyed, "Tomorrow." He turned and walked out.

His face was swollen, and he needed to go get treated first. Otherwise, he would look terrible. As he left, he somehow produced a towel and wrapped it around his face.

Watching him leave, Tang Wulin thought to himself, these city people are really rich.

Yun Xiao coughed, "It's time for lunch. Tang Wulin, are you coming?"

"Sure!" Tang Wulin nodded. He was actually very hungry.

Zhou Changxi also jumped down from the upper bunk. The resentment and anger on his face had faded a lot. His hostility towards Tang Wulin had clearly decreased. The reason was simple: it was also because of the 34,000 federal coins.

Not just Tang Wulin, Zhou Changxi's family was also not well-off. When he heard the high compensation amount, he was also shocked. He was actually the instigator of this incident, but Tang Wulin did not ask him to share the cost. This alone made him have a better impression of Tang Wulin.

Yun Xiao led the way, with Tang Wulin and Zhou Changxi following behind.

The intermediate department's cafeteria was in a small building next to the main teaching building. The small building had three floors, each serving the six grades of the intermediate department. The first and second grades were on the first floor.

The cafeteria had only tables, no chairs. This was a rule at Donghai Academy, where students had to stand while eating to enhance their sense of urgency.

There were three windows, marked with the letters A, B, and C. From Yun Xiao's explanation, Tang Wulin learned that C meals were completely free, B meals were partially paid, and A meals were fully paid.

Of course, in return, the ingredients for A meals were the best, followed by B meals, and C meals were just ordinary food.

The sign below the C meal window read "buns."

Zhou Changxi glanced at Tang Wulin, "Tang Wulin, the school doesn't allow fighting, but let's have a competition. Who can eat the most buns? Are you up for it?"

Tang Wulin looked at him, "Are you sure there are enough buns?"

Zhou Changxi said, "Of course, the C meal is unlimited. After all, our soul masters eat more than ordinary people."

Tang Wulin said, "What's the point of a competition over eating?"

Zhou Changxi said, "Whoever loses will clean the entire dorm. If I lose, I'll wash the clothes I dirtied for you. How about it?"

Tang Wulin exhaled, "I'm pretty hungry."
