Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Giving You Another Chance to Speak (3k8)_2
Ding Pengthe continued to flatter, “So your grandfather must be at the level of a third-order Talisman Master now, right?”
Song Junsheng shook his head and said leisurely, “Fourth order. But his talent for cultivating immortality isn’t very good. If he could reach Nascent Soul, fifth order wouldn’t be impossible.”
Ding Guangming exclaimed, “Holy shit, that’s awesome!”
Watching Song Junsheng show off, Zhu Hongcai’s face was filled with annoyance. He hated it the most when someone showed off in front of him.
But soon, Ding Pengthe turned his attention and the opportunity to show off to Zhu Hongcai.
“Brother Zhu, what are your dreams?”
Zhu Hongcai said disdainfully, “I’m just a filthy rich second-generation that doesn’t have any dreams. This Talisman stuff, I don’t want to draw. Knowing how to use them is enough for me, why bother drawing them myself when I can just buy with money, it’s too much trouble.”
Ding Guangming was taken aback, “Then why are you attending university?”
“Looking for a wife. I just like female college students. With my conditions, only school beauties will do, even class beauties chasing after me won’t cut it.”
Song Junsheng laughed and said, “You’re looking for a wife and you came to Lotus University? Shouldn’t you have gone to the neighboring Qingxuan University? There are more female cultivators there, and the quality is higher.”
Zhu Hongcai got upset, “I wanted to go there too, but they wouldn’t take my dad’s Spirit Stones! In the end, I had to settle for Lotus University.”
Ding Guangming was shocked, “So you guys didn’t get in by examination either?”
Song Junsheng said, “My grandfather knows the president of the university.”
Zhu Hongcai said, “My dad has money.”
Ding Guangming touched his head and said, “Actually, I didn’t get in by examination either; my ancestors were founding heroes, and we still have some connections.”
Song Junsheng complimented with high EQ, “That’s pretty impressive too.”
Ding Guangming said sheepishly, “Not at all, my family has fallen on hard times, and this year, I had to pull a lot of strings just to get a recommendation letter.”
Zhu Hongcai, both showing off and being generous, said, “If you’re short on money, just talk to me; we’re all roommates. My home is empty, I have nothing, except a lot of money.”
Song Junsheng smiled and didn’t want to stoop to Zhu Hongcai’s level.
In the cultivation world, strength is the foundation, and those with a lot of money are just fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Therefore, the importance of Talisman skills far exceeds that of money. Their Song family might not have as much money as Zhu Hongcai, but in terms of Talisman skills, they absolutely thrashed Zhu Hongcai.
“By the way, isn’t there one more person who hasn’t arrived?” Zhu Hongcai asked.
He had just been showing off, missing an audience, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Speak of Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng would appear.
Thanks to his storage bag, Jiang Cheng didn’t need to carry luggage and arrived at the dormitory empty-handed.
Upon entering the room and seeing his three roommates, he immediately greeted them with high EQ, “Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Cheng from Xiang State.”
Zhu Hongcai immediately laughed and said, “Haha, brother, did you get that backwards?”
Jiang Cheng smiled, stepped forward, and shook hands with each roommate solemnly.
“It’s mainly because of your excellence that I feel a bit nervous.”
Zhu Hongcai thought to himself: Your words are nice, but why is this handshake so formal? Like meeting a head of state.
“Holy shit, are you THAT 1016?” Ding Guangming recognized Jiang Cheng and suddenly exclaimed in shock.
“What’s 1016?”
Both Zhu Hongcai and Song Junsheng didn’t understand.
“Didn’t you watch the freshmen assessment? He’s 1016, Jiang Cheng, perfect scores in all five subjects! Five subjects, man!”
Perfect scores in all five subjects?
Song Junsheng might not have watched the new student assessments, but as someone from the Capital, he was aware of the significance of Lotus University’s new student assessments.
Perfect scores weren’t common, and perfect scores in all five subjects were even rarer.
Jiang Cheng’s cultivation level wasn’t high; most likely, he got perfect scores through his Talisman drawing skills.
He might be a formidable rival in the Talisman Department. Song Junsheng thought, looking at Jiang Cheng with more respect.
Being good at uniting others, Jiang Cheng added, “It’s mainly because my high school exam results were not good, so I had to prepare some tricks for the freshman assessment.”
Ding Guangming said excitedly, “That’s so awesome! I never dreamed I’d become roommates with 1016.”
Seeing his little follower who was good at flattering running off to flatter someone else, Zhu Hongcai was not very pleased.
He had just been showing off when Jiang Cheng wasn’t present.
Now that Jiang Cheng was showing off, he could see it all too clearly, and it felt unfair.
He had to feign that swagger again.
Zhu Hongcai started off by playing coy, “Did you guys see the senior sister hanging banners for the admissions office when you entered the campus today?”
“Saw her.”
“Hmm.”
“I saw her too.”
“Heh heh, as long as everyone saw her, that’s good.”
Zhu Hongcai’s teasing was longer than his own height, making Ding Guangming itch with curiosity.
“Zhu Hongcai, just spill it already, we saw her and then what?”
Zhu Hongcai took out his Spirit Stone, clicked on the contacts list, and showed it clearly to the three Jiang Chengs.
“She asked me for my contact information proactively, but I am not going to pay her any attention. I admit, she’s pretty good looking, but she still doesn’t meet my standards for a wife.”
“Awesome!”
Ding Guangming gave a thumbs up.
When it comes to showing off, in this dorm, Hong Cai reigns supreme.
Zhu Hongcai, seeing Ding Guangming’s reaction, felt overjoyed.
He’s Rich Second Generation, so if he’s not going to show off, then what?
Only Jiang Cheng earnestly analyzed, “I think she might just want to sell you something, like a membership card for some restaurant outside the school.”
Zhu Hongcai had seen too many individuals like Jiang Cheng who act sour when they can’t get the grapes.
What membership card? Grasping at straws, unwilling to acknowledge a roommate’s charisma.
Zhu Hongcai shot back, “Jiang Cheng, you’ve got full marks in five courses, has anyone asked you for your contact info?”
“No,” Jiang Cheng honestly replied.
Zhu Hongcai, patting Jiang Cheng’s shoulder, generously said, “No worries, once I find a Campus Queen as a girlfriend, I’ll have her introduce one of her close friends to you. The close friends of pretty lady cultivators are usually not bad either.”
Jiang Cheng thought of Yue Linger’s close friend, Cheng Bingxin.
He nodded, “Indeed.”
Ding Guangming, seeing Zhu Hongcai’s generosity, suddenly felt tempted, “Hong Cai, what about me?”
Zhu Hongcai waved it off, “No biggie, you’re included too. The Campus Queen can’t possibly just have one close friend, right?”
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, “It seems she only has one.”
Zhu Hongcai thought to himself: How do you sound as if you know her so well? We’re all freshmen, who knows the Campus Queen? Saying this is just showing off pointlessly, unimpressive, too low level.
At that moment, Jiang Cheng’s Spirit Stone rang. After a couple of hums upon answering, he said to his roommates, “Sorry guys, a senior sister needs me for something, I have to step out for a bit.”
Watching Jiang Cheng’s departing figure, Ding Guangming wondered, “Huh? How does Jiang Cheng have a senior sister’s contact information?”
Zhu Hongcai disdainfully said, “Pure show off. I don’t believe he can really contact a senior sister. Didn’t he just go down? Let’s go to the balcony and have some fun watching.”
The three of them went to the balcony, just in time to see Jiang Cheng heading downstairs.
Zhu Hongcai immediately laughed, “Look, I told you he was… Huh?”
The three roommates’ eyes widened because they actually saw Jiang Cheng heading toward a senior sister!
Although the face of this senior sister wasn’t clear, her figure was great, featuring a busty chest, a slender waist, and long, straight legs—far superior to the senior sister hanging banners for the admissions office.
Zhu Hongcai’s forehead began to sweat.
“He’s just being dragged off to get a card, nothing to be envious of. Wait a moment, my Spirit Stone is ringing.”
Zhu Hongcai pulled out his Spirit Stone, and the caller was the same senior sister who had added him!
The scene was his once more.
Zhu Hongcai’s face glowed as he answered the Spirit Stone, and conveniently hit the speaker button, saying loudly, “Hello?”
“Is this the junior brother?”
“Yes, I’m Zhu Hongcai.”
“Junior brother, there’s a restaurant outside of school that’s quite good, and their membership cards are on discount now. Would you consider it?”
