The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 518

C518 – After Getting Beaten up He Still Wants to Pay the Money

“We’re all university students here; we should act like civilized individuals,” Su Ming instructed with a sense of purpose. “If you must resort to violence in the future, make sure to cover the person’s head with a black bag first. You can’t let anyone identify you. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a heap of trouble. The school won’t hesitate to discipline you, and you might even end up detained. That could seriously derail your future prospects,” he continued, imparting his wisdom.

?His fellow students nodded in agreement, clearly impressed.

Wow, that’s actually quite insightful!

Classic Senior Su!

Impressive!

His words were a revelation to us, opening our eyes to a new perspective.

Meng Haitao listened from the sidelines. The first statement seemed reasonable enough, but as he continued to listen, he grew increasingly uneasy. What in the world was this about? What was Su Ming suggesting? Having already been beaten was bad enough, but the idea of being bagged and beaten again was too much. There would be nowhere left to turn for comfort!

“Alright, it’s late. Let’s all head back and get some rest,” Su Ming said cheerfully.

?”Hey! Su Ming, they beat me up, and I’m a distinguished guest invited by Eastsea Technology University. You’re just going to let it slide?” Meng Haitao protested, clearly upset. He hadn’t done anything to deserve the beating. If he didn’t seek justice, wouldn’t his suffering be in vain?

“Absolutely, absolutely!” Su Ming agreed, but then he cut Meng Haitao off before he could finish. “You all should really be thanking Senior Meng. It’s lucky for you that he’s a guest of honor invited by our school, and a former senior of yours. If not for that, this incident wouldn’t be so easily resolved. Senior Meng is generous and won’t hold a grudge. After all, he is a guest of honor at our school, right?” Su Ming continued with a grin.

Meng Haitao was left speechless. Su Ming’s words did carry some weight, but something didn’t sit right with him. He couldn’t quite articulate why, but he felt a sense of injustice. His chest was tight with discomfort, and it was painful.

?”No, what I meant to say was…” Meng Haitao began, scratching his head as he tried to collect his thoughts. But before he could get the words out, Su Ming interrupted him again.

“Alright, alright, I get your point!” Su Ming interjected. “You’re obviously pleased that these gentlemen stood up for the ladies, and you’d like to reward them for their gallantry, right?”

“You know, you’re absolutely right. The campus spirit is so positive, thanks to these guys.”

“I’m aware that you’re not short on cash. So here’s what I’ll do: I’ll take care of it. Class rep, you’ve put in a lot of effort today. I’ll have him give each of you a red envelope with 1000 yuan.”

Su Ming said, grinning from ear to ear.

“Oh my! Thank you, Senior Meng!”

“Senior Meng, I’m truly sorry. It was all just a big misunderstanding earlier.”

“Senior Meng sure is loaded!”

The boys around him couldn’t hide their delight.

Just think about it!

Get into a fight and come out with cash!

?It’s an incredibly good deal.

Meng Haitao was on the verge of tears.

I mean, seriously…

Yet here were the students, coming up to shake hands and say hello.

Beaming with gratitude.

At this point, it would be wrong to turn hostile.

?”Ah… you guys really put in the work.”

“Maintaining the safety of our school is hard work, and you’ve done it. Thank you.”

Meng Haitao managed a strained smile.

Damn, they beat me up, and now I have to pay them?

I have no choice but to willingly hand over the money.

The baby inside is crying, but outwardly, I say nothing.

After the guys expressed their thanks,

they pulled out their phones,

flashing their payment QR codes.

Meng Haitao held his nose, a sour expression on his face,

?and begrudgingly transferred the money to each of them.

The boys were over the moon.

Now they had money for gaming online,

for buying gifts for their girlfriends,

and even for those new skins that had just dropped in the game.

?They walked away with huge smiles plastered on their faces.

Meanwhile, a group of girls lingered,

gathering around Su Ming, chattering excitedly,

their eyes sparkling with admiration.

Off to the side, Meng Haitao felt like he was going to explode with frustration.

?All I did was ask for directions,

and you’d think I was miles away from you.

I barely got a word out before you screamed and ran,

and then you had the nerve to call someone to beat me up.

But when it comes to Su Ming,

you’re all sweetness and warmth,

practically tripping over yourselves to get close to him.

What’s the matter?

Not playing the tough guy anymore?

How can there be such a vast gap between people?

Doesn’t anyone get a break?

Can one even maintain their humanity?

Meng Haitao stood alone in the wind, a picture of misery, shivering uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Su Ming was the center of attention, encircled by a bevy of beauties.

The contrast couldn’t have been more striking.

At last, he managed to send the girls on their way.

Approaching Meng Haitao, Su Ming gave his shoulder a reassuring pat.

“Come on, everyone’s waiting for you.”

With those words, Su Ming strode forward confidently, chest out and head held high.

Meng Haitao’s face was a mask of worry.

He clenched his jaw in frustration.

His walk was a painful hobble.

In a pitiful state, he trailed behind Su Ming.

?They continued on until Su Ming stopped in front of a building.

He pulled open the door.

Meng Haitao’s reaction was one of utter shock.

What?

This?

This is the International Convention Center?!

No way!

Meng Haitao stood frozen in place.

Su Ming blinked inquisitively, “What’s up?”

“I…”

Meng Haitao’s face flushed with the effort of holding back his emotions.

?After a long pause, he bit his lip and shook his head.

“It’s nothing.”

He coughed, straightened up despite the pain, and marched inside.

But as he crossed the threshold, tears welled up in Meng Haitao’s eyes.

Why?

For the love of…

He had passed this building at least ten times!

Ten times!

He had even sat at its entrance for five minutes.

And it turned out to be the International Convention Center.

He felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

A man’s tears are not a sign of guilt!

It suddenly made sense why Su Ming and the others had vanished after turning a corner.

They had been heading inside all along!

He had walked past the International Convention Center entrance countless times, completely oblivious.

?Upon entering, Meng Haitao looked up slightly.

Above his line of sight, the words were clear.

?International Convention Center!

It was his own short stature that had limited his view!

He had completely missed it!

Not only that, but he had been roughed up.

He had spent thousands.

His once-pricey suit was now a mess.

His cheeks were as swollen as if he had been slapped repeatedly.

?The pain was intense, like a burning fire.

His emotions were all over the place.

Utterly frustrated!

……

The International Convention Center.

In fact, nearly every university has a place like this.

Occasionally, it plays host to visiting scholars.

Perhaps an expert would arrive.

A seminar was about to take place.

Everything was set in this location.

Currently, the grand auditorium of the International Convention Center was packed.

?The majority of the attendees were seniors.

A number of underclassmen from freshman to junior years were also present.

Dressed in formal wear, they acted as servers.

Earlier…

Liang Xiaoxue, tasked by Xie Haijun,

donned a long red gown.

Her makeup was subtle, yet she shone brilliantly.

?Many male students sneakily glanced her way.

On the elevated stage,

two long tables were set up.

Numerous chairs were arranged.

These were filled by the entrepreneurs, university officials, and renowned scholars who had been invited.

Principal Ye and Xie Haijun were seated among them.
