I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 372 You've Got All the Benefits

Just as Wu Wuwu returned to her seat, the bell for the start of evening self-study rang.

As soon as she sat down, all eyes turned to her.

Chen Chenchen was the first to speak, and she hugged Wu Wuwu tightly, exclaiming, "Wuwu, you're amazing!"

They all heard Liang Xueyi's sarcastic remarks in the classroom.

I was a little stunned.

I never expected Wu Wuwu to be so good at fighting back.

Jiang Yingzhu gave a thumbs up, "Sister, you're amazing! I thought you were as quiet as Mengmeng."

"It's alright, talking takes up too much time," Wu Wuwu said.

"I feel like you're very suited for debating, right, Li Yan?" Jiang Yingzhu looked at Li Yan.

“Indeed.” Li Yan recalled the debates he had watched in his previous life, but he had never seen Wu Wuwu.

"No, it's Liang Xueyi who didn't stand up for herself." Wu Wuwu shook her head, and finally couldn't help but say, "I really don't know what's going on in her head. She just picks on me for no reason, like an animal."

Chen Chenchen nodded, blindly supporting her friend.

"Exactly! People like that won't get into university, so we don't need to worry about them."

The word "university" clearly piqued the interest of Ling Ningshan, who was standing nearby. She asked, "Speaking of universities, what universities do you want to attend?"

"I'd like to get into a top university (985), but my grades are a bit shabby," Wu Wuwu said.

"I don't care, as long as it's a bachelor's degree."

Chen Chenchen's family has some connections in the county town. With a diploma, she can use those connections to get a government job, and then she can just do nothing every day like her mother.

"Ling Ningshan, which university do you want to apply to?"

"I don't know," Ling Ningshan shook her head. "That's why I'm asking you."

"How about we take the entrance exam for Jiangcheng University together?" Jiang Yingzhu patted Ling Ningshan's shoulder from the back row.
"Your grades are better than mine, there's absolutely no problem with that."

“Jiangcheng University is not good,” Ye Hui suddenly said.

"Huh?" Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback. "What's wrong? Mengmeng, Li Yan, and I even made plans to take the exam together."

Upon hearing this, people around him looked at him with ambiguous glances, but Li Yan didn't care and calmly continued reading his book.

Mei Mengqian couldn't bear the shame and kept her head down.

Ye Hui gave Li Yan a strange look. "The fact that Jiangcheng University is on Qiqi Company's blacklist is highly questionable."

"Um?!"

Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian were both taken aback and glanced at Li Yan at the same time.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. However, when Qiqi Company recruits students from Jiangcheng University, the requirements are three times stricter than those for other schools. The most prominent point is that they will fund the student to conduct another thesis defense."

Ye Hui said with a strange expression that their cooperation with Qiqi Company's winery was facilitated by Li Yan's relationship with him.

She thought Li Yan should know all this, so why did he still go to Jiangda University when things were already like this?

"Influenced by Qiqi Company, we actually followed some of their methods."

Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head, while Mei Mengqian asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with Jiang Da?"

Ye Hui actually did some research, and first pointed out the problem of a large number of papers on 'boxing techniques'.

Then came biased academic papers, such as those advocating for equal rights for humans and animals, and arguing that drug dealers should not be sentenced to death.

Hearing the gasps and exclamations all around, Jiang Yingzhu was completely stunned.

After working hard for most of the semester, the goal has become distorted.

Suddenly, she had another question.

"Wait a minute! Isn't Hua Ningxia, the current boss of Qiqi Company, from Jiangda University?"

Even Ye Hui had subconsciously overlooked this point, and was taken aback when asked about it.

Zhang Wei, who was passing by, said, "This is the Sword Saint Li Qingshan, who can cut down mountains with a single sword; and the Blade God Chen Liushui, who can sever flowing water with a single blade."

Most of the girls in the front row hadn't read many male-oriented fantasy web novels, let alone the kind Zhang Wei cited.

Therefore, I'm slightly speechless at this childish remark.

However, the meaning is still understandable.

Ye Hui pursed her lips and explained, "Maybe it's because Mr. Hua is too familiar with the school?"

"Then forget it, Li Yan, why don't we go to other schools? It's easier to apply to schools in other places," Jiang Yingzhu said.

“I don’t care. If anyone dares to jump, I’ll send them in,” Li Yan said.

Those around him were confused, but Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu understood and secretly rolled their eyes at him.

"See what you can do."

Jiang Yingzhu punched him lightly, "Anyway, we're not going, right Mengmeng!"

"Uh-huh."

"Besides, I've been to Jiangcheng several times already, it's not interesting anymore, I want to go to a big city."

Seeing that they were about to discuss things as if no one else was around, Li Yan kindly reminded them.

"Jiang Yingzhu, you should focus on practicing your problems first. Stop thinking about other things. If your grades don't improve, you'll only be able to go to Harvard or Harbin Buddhist Academy."

The people around him burst into laughter.

"You're so mean, class monitor! Zhu Zhu's score couldn't possibly be that low."

"Hmph!" Jiang Yingzhu snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction.

The topic of university spread from Li Yan's place.

In the back row, Ma Liang asked, "Brothers, where are you planning to take the exam? Let's go together."

He's moving into the dorm today, and it feels like he's already inseparable from Zhang Wei and Xiao Shuai.

"It's hard to say, I can't imagine," Xiao Shuai said. "It seems like it's a long way off, so I'll choose one with lots of girls."

“That makes sense!” Zhang Wei agreed. “Teachers’ college is a good choice.”

Ma Liang disagreed, "Everyone's eyeing the teachers' college, but I think the dance academy is better. What do you think, Brother Bin?"

"Why go to a dance academy? The real estate market is booming right now. I'll study civil engineering, and we'll naturally meet at a clubhouse or karaoke bar someday," Yu Bin said casually while playing a game.

Upon hearing this, all three were shocked.

"Bin, you're so skilled, you haven't already..."

"Does a six-day holiday make us people from two different worlds?"

"Master, take me with you! Otherwise, I'll report you."

Yu Bin glanced at the three of them and curled his lip.

"Report my ass! I didn't do anything, it's purely Chu Nan!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shuai and the other two were relieved.

"Bin, how do you know this so well?" "During the National Day holiday, I went to karaoke with some of my cousins. Halfway through the song, a few girls came in and sat next to them, but I wasn't. They even told me to leave because it was inappropriate for minors to be around."

The three of them gasped, thinking to themselves that they were indeed Ah Bin's family, all so abstract.

"and after?"

"Do you think I can just sit here? I'll report it!"

His act of sacrificing his own family for the greater good shocked all the petty scoundrels in the back row.

Ye Daijia, who was behind them, suddenly said, "How foolish! Brother Bin, if you memorized this place, you could do it later too."

Yu Bin was taken aback, then nodded and gave him a thumbs up.

"That makes sense, I'll definitely do it next time!"

Zhang Wei and the others also realized what had happened and looked regretful.

"But studying civil engineering must be very tiring, Bin. Can you handle it?"

"I was just joking," Yu Bin said. "I might be able to get into a top-tier university, but that's going to be tough for you guys. You should focus on your studies first and stop thinking about women."

“It’s okay, I can go to a private school,” Zhang Wei said.

“Even a dog wouldn’t go. After several years of studying, you’ll lose hundreds of thousands of yuan. Do you think you can earn it back in four years?” Cheng Yuan said from behind.

Ma Liang was about to say something when he suddenly saw Lin Aoshuang, who was on duty during evening self-study, walk in, and immediately shut up.

"The iceberg is here, I'm going to blanch it!"

Zhang Wei quickly took out his book and buried himself in reading.

Everyone thought Lin Aoshuang would come down to inspect, but instead she turned on the multimedia equipment.

Then, the screen on the blackboard began playing a high-quality physics lesson taught by a renowned teacher.

She adjusted the volume to a moderate level, making it clearly audible in the quiet classroom.

"If you don't want to do practice or memorize, you can watch some videos to relax," Lin Aoshuang said.

Everyone's lips twitched!

Li Yan glanced at it; it was a summary of key concepts for first-year high school students.

In some ways, it's a relaxing experience.

With the multimedia sound as cover, some people started talking quietly.

Yang Xiong patted Zhu Gelin, who was sitting next to him.

"Zhuge, how's the progress? You haven't taken it yet!"

"It's almost done."

Zhu Gelin glanced up and took out his phone.

"I've basically recouped the money you were scammed out of."

Yang Xiong looked at his phone screen and saw the message about Liang Xueyi's date with a state-owned enterprise.

It was the same mall and store he went to last time!
"How did you catch this? I didn't see it."

"It's definitely not on the phone."

Zhu Gelin smiled smugly and held out his hand, "Look at my clothes, Nike, over nine hundred, she bought them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiong's eyes widened. "What happened? How did you do that?"

Zhu Gelin tapped on a message on the screen; it was from Liang Xueyi inviting him to dinner.

"Don't worry, you even treated me to dinner, a French meal, probably around four or five hundred."

Seeing Yang Xiong's wide eyes, Zhu Gelin was very satisfied.

"It was my birthday that day, and she wanted to use it to get closer to me, so she treated me to a meal. The dress was a gift."

"Then why did you still go to that store?" Yang Xiong asked, vividly remembering the store where the accomplices had tricked him.

"That's her plan; she's eyeing a dress that costs over five thousand."

"You bought it?"

"How could that be? I only had a hundred with me that day, for when I ran away."

"and you."

Yang Xiong was even more confused, while Zhu Gelin began to explain: "That's where your verbal skills come in."

"?"

“She didn’t directly say which one she wanted, so I first praised her for her good taste, and then started criticizing the dress for not being suitable for her.”

Zhu Gelin coughed, perhaps out of habit from teaching Ye Daijia these past few days, and continued:
"Be careful not to criticize her at this time. You should first affirm her appearance and her own advantages, and then casually point out the flaws in her clothes."

"Make her feel that she is more high-class than the clothes. When that happens, you can say that you will pick out a cheap one for her, and then compliment the clothes and point out some minor flaws on her body, but you should also include some praise in your comments."

“She already had feelings for me, so I bought the clothes without spending much money.”

Yang Xiong stared wide-eyed, not understanding why there were so many intricacies involved in buying clothes.

So what did you end up buying?

"A sundress that costs a little over forty yuan."

Zhu Gelin raised an eyebrow. "Pay attention, this is a return gift, so you need to be confident in your actions."

Yang Xiong nodded subconsciously, then realized that he didn't want to learn at all.

"So what is your relationship now?"

"We're just friends."

Zhu Gelin snapped his fingers. "The clothes cost eight hundred, the hospitality five hundred, and with breakfast and dinner for the past month, it's about sixteen or seventeen thousand, which is about the same amount you spent on Liang Xueyi back then."

"Is this matter settled?"

Zhu Gelin said that the main reason was that the other party was also a fellow traveler, and he probably had a bit of an epiphany after returning.

Zhu Gelin was afraid of being exposed!

Yang Xiong stroked his chin, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"That seems to make sense, but I feel like you're the one who's getting the best deal!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make false accusations! These are all spoils of war from mercenaries hunting in the wild."

Zhu Gelin spread his hands, "Besides, didn't I help you get revenge? She suffered such a huge loss and didn't get anything in return."

Yang Xiong glanced at Liang Xueyi's gloomy expression from the two rows ahead.

The other person seemed to be in this state all day, which is why they went crazy and mocked Wu Wuwu in the corridor.

But why isn't there any sense of satisfaction from this revenge?

Yang Xiong glanced at Zhu Gelin, feeling like he had been tricked.

"Married?"
