The next day...
At the Dao School’s northern district, within a quaint courtyard, stood a three-story detached house.
The house, though not extravagantly luxurious, was equipped with a garden, swimming pool, a private practice room, and a ditation chamber.
It also had 24-hour personal service.
This place was built by the Dao School specifically to accommodate guests from the Heavenly Court. In this era, within the entire expanse of Donghua City, it was considered quite opulent.
However, in Zheng Wentian’s view, it still paled in comparison to the Heavenly Court.
He stepped out of the courtyard, intending to visit the specialized class’s building to see what teacher Ying Hui had arranged for him.
But the mont Zheng Wentian walked out the door, the veins on his forehead couldn’t help but throb angrily.
Seeing Zhou Bai, who was smiling and waving at him, Zheng Wentian raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, disregarding Zhou Bai and walking away.
Zhou Bai, however, proactively approached and got straight to the point, "Hey, Old Zheng, I’m a bit short on cash lately. How about you lend so points so I can grab so breakfast?"
Zheng Wentian let out a cold laugh, "Today is the day new points are distributed for the month, right? You’re telling you’re short on cash right after getting your points?"
While shaking his head, Wentian added, "Fine, I can lend you so. How much do you need?"
Zhou Bai was elated, "Haha, you’re really my good brother. Later at the cafeteria, I’ll order sothing worth 200 points; you can just pay for it."
Zheng Wentian suddenly felt alard, puzzled as to why he agreed to lend money to him again. He imdiately wanted to refuse outright, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t bring himself to say them.
After thinking it over, he actually felt like just letting it go, warning himself in his mind, "Fine, I’ll lend him money one last ti. Hmph, it won’t be long before I make you pay it all back, with interest."
Zhou Bai, observing Zheng Wentian’s deanor, marveled at the power of poverty, "Incredible, this poverty aura is incredible. Not only does it forcibly make the other person agree to lend things, but it seems like it also prevents any suspicion."
"Damn." Christina, from within the sea of consciousness, also expressed shock at Zhou Bai’s actions, "Getting sothing for nothing? But I feel like that Primordial Spirit is furious; won’t he just kill you?"
"He can’t beat , so what’s there to fear. Besides, I have the teacher covering for ; I’m now the top student in the whole school," Zhou Bai reassured, "Also, I asked teacher Ying Hui, and these Primordial Spirits, they receive a lot of points each month as their living expenses. For them, skimming off 200 points a day is nothing."
Zheng Wentian: ’Damn it. After coming to Dao School here in Donghua, my monthly living expenses dropped to 6000 points. It was already little enough, and yet I have to lend so to this Zhou Bai.’
Arriving at the cafeteria, seeing Zhou Bai grab a mountain of food, Zheng Wentian couldn’t help but ask, "Can you even finish all that?"
Zhou Bai: "Oh, it’s not just for to eat, I’m also bringing so back for my dog."
Zheng Wentian was nearly apoplectic with rage, reaching for the chopsticks to snatch so food from Zhou Bai’s selection to reclaim a bit of his investnt.
But then, he saw Zhou Bai block him, quickly packaging it up, and while doing so, Zhou Bai said, "Ah, it’s just so rotten fish and shrimp, you shouldn’t eat it. I’ll take it back to feed the dog."
"Let’s not talk anymore, I still have things to do; see you tomorrow morning."
Watching Zhou Bai’s retreating back, Zheng Wentian’s chest heaved violently, his Holy Sunlight Power seed ready to burst out at any mont and blast towards Zhou Bai.
Finally, he managed to suppress the impulsive rage within him, and after a long while, he slightly cald down.
"Hehe, see you tomorrow? If I lend you points again tomorrow, I’ll just..."
The next day in the cafeteria, Zheng Wentian hung his head low, his face a picture of bewildernt: "Why does this feel so irritating, yet I’m filled with a sense of helplessness? Whenever this guy speaks, my heart just...lts..."
"Eh? lts?"
Zheng Wentian suddenly looked up at Zhou Bai, feeling an urge to punch him to death, then shook his head: "Damn it, what kind of spell have I fallen under?"
After packing up, Zhou Bai waved at Zheng Wentian and said, "I’m off then, see you tomorrow."
"There’s a tomorrow?" Zheng Wentian’s gaze sharpened, suddenly scared of what the next day might bring. Just then, his bodyguard, the Golden Armored God General, sat down beside Zheng Wentian: "Young Master, do you plan to win over Zhou Bai?"
"Eh?" Zheng Wentian gave the bodyguard a cold glance and said indifferently, "What makes you think that?"
"This Zhou Bai has exceptional talent. With just half a year of cultivating, he has achieved so much. His future is bound to be limitless." The Golden Armored God General stated: "While he is still at the First Realm, you are casting down favors and promising great riches. Once you have him under your control, it will definitely be extraordinarily profitable, and your odds in the battle for the divine position will greatly improve."
Zheng Wentian snorted coldly, wanting to retort, but considering he had dropped 600 points on the guy for three consecutive days, his argunt had no weight.
Therefore, he just humd and said no more.
The Golden Armored God General, however, seed to have guessed the truth and spoke as if he had figured it all out: "Are you trying to win Zhou Bai over secretly, not wanting to make a fuss? I see now, by doing this, the other young masters won’t be on guard against you, and you can use Zhou Bai as a secret weapon. Young Master is truly far-sighted and strategic."
Zheng Wentian glared at the Golden Armored God General: "Shut up." He clenched his teeth and maliciously thought, ’Zhou! Bai!’
...
The next morning, Zhou Bai had been waiting in front of Zheng Wentian’s house for over half an hour and had called out several tis but still hadn’t seen Zheng Wentian appear.
"Zheng Wentian!"
"Want to grab breakfast together?!"
"Can you lend so points?!"
Zhou Bai looked at the silent courtyard and thought to himself: "Is this guy avoiding ?"
These past two days, borrowing points from Zheng Wentian to buy stuff and then selling it afterwards had provided Zhou Bai nearly ten thousand laziness points.
He checked his panel, which now showed over thirteen thousand laziness points.
"Sigh, unlocking the Ugly Figure requires fifty thousand laziness points," Zhou Bai muttered, pinching his chin, "But with the two thousand four hundred points I got for taking first place this month, and if I keep exchanging points little by little in the coming days, I should be able to gather fifty thousand. However, accessing the following Starspots and increasing Primordial Spirit values will all require a massive amount of laziness points."
When he thought of the large amount of laziness points, Zhou Bai rembered Dao School’s Treasures 01 and 02.
"Christina is making quick progress, probably another two months before she finishes Dao School’s Treasure 02. I’m not sure how long it will take Elsa to complete both Dao School’s Treasure 01 and 02. Once she’s done, I can sell these two Treasures and get a million laziness points."
The thought of a million laziness points made Zhou Bai excited again.
"Right, Teacher Ying Hui said he was going to take sowhere, but a few days have passed without any more news, and I have no idea where it’s supposed to be."
As Zhou Bai walked, he saw Lin Muqing, who had appeared in front of him at so point, smiling at him: "Zhou Bai, why haven’t you co to eat with lately?"
