"It's alright, what's wrong with giving it a try? Even if we fail, we won't suffer too much loss," Lin Yu replied nonchalantly.
"Sigh... Don't you know the old saying: 'Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences'?" the girl sighed helplessly.
"You're probably not Chinese, are you? I didn't expect you to be so fluent in Chinese proverbs," Lin Yu couldn't help but admire.
“Of course! I learned all of this from those wonderful novels!” The girl raised her chin, her face beaming with pride. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Selma, I’m from Latin America, a 05 student, and my bloodline level is ‘B’!”
"You rock!"
Lin Yu gave the girl a thumbs up.
"Since you want to suffer a bit, then so be it!" Selma said. "Don't cry when you fail!"
"It's not that bad," Lin Yu said, his face full of exasperation.
"Hehe, if you can't make it in the student council, come find me, senior! I'll guarantee you a spot in the student union!"
Selma patted her budding chest and assured her.
"Why?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled. "Do you know my bloodline level?"
"Because you're handsome!" the girl blurted out.
Lin Yu:
Sure enough, appearance is justice!
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I'll definitely come to you if I ever make a living like this."
Lin Yu replied with a smile.
Lin Yu had a rather favorable impression of Selma; the character was mentioned in the original novel, but unfortunately, she sacrificed herself at the Three Gorges Dam during an internship mission two years later, while exploring the Bronze City.
If possible, Lin Yu would be quite willing to save her.
Chapter 14 Club Recruitment, Freshman Susie
the next day,
early morning
Kassel College
Lin Yu sat not far from the school gate, a sign on a wooden table bearing the three large, elegant characters "Holy Spirit Society".
Seeing a new student approaching from afar, Lin Yu sensed the student's bloodline and quickly stepped forward.
"Young lady, I see you have extraordinary bones... oh no, look at your unique bloodline, don't you want to join my Holy Spirit Society and show your skills?"
"Shouldn't there only be the Lionheart Church and the student council in the school? How come there's this Holy Spirit Church popping up now?"
The girl blinked her big, bright eyes and asked with a puzzled look.
"Ahem, um... well, the Holy Spirit Society was personally founded by this genius, absolutely unique! As long as you're willing to join, you can immediately become a founding member!" Lin Yu puffed out his chest and said proudly.
"So how many members does your club have right now?"
The girl seemed somewhat interested in this so-called Holy Spirit and continued to press for more information.
"Uh... well... for now, I'm the only one left!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Yu's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and added confidently, "But don't worry, this is only temporary. Come on, let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Lin Yu, and I'm a freshman who just enrolled this year! As for my bloodline level, hehehe, I'm the only one among all the students with an 'S' rank!"
At this point, Lin Yu couldn't help but slightly raise his chin, his face radiating an undisguised pride.
Then, he changed the subject, lowering his voice mysteriously, and said, "And what's more, joining my Holy Spirit Society comes with incredibly generous benefits! How about it, are you tempted?"
"What kind of benefits are there? Although I'm not as good as you, I still have a rare 'A' grade bloodline. My name is Susie."
The girl became interested
Lin Yu was slightly surprised; his luck was really good. He'd become another important supporting character in the dragon clan. But thinking about it, it made sense. Only one or two 'A' level students enrolled each year; two, three, or even four were considered high-quality admissions.
Susie is a rather regrettable character in the Dragon Clan! Now that we've met, there's no way we can let her go.
In her past life, many people described Susie as someone who was "presentable in public, capable in the kitchen, a good friend, and a good sleeper!"
She has a good personality, is responsible, loyal, and considerate of others' feelings—a typical virtuous wife and loving mother type, and she's also quite capable.
Lin Yu put in even more effort in his introduction.
"First, the Holy Spirit Society will provide a monthly subsidy: 1000 for 'C' grade bloodlines, 3000 for 'B' grade bloodlines, and 7000 for 'A' grade bloodlines. Remember, it's in US dollars!"
Kassel College only admits students with a grade of "D" or higher.
Of course, one student who repeated a year also had an "A" grade when he enrolled.
Wow! Does your family own a mine?
Susie looked utterly surprised.
"Has a little bit of money"
Lin Yu said modestly
"Besides, all positions in my Holy Spirit Society are paid! How about I give you the vice president position? You'll get an extra $5000 a month, a 30% discount on 'Lin's' properties worldwide, plus holiday travel reimbursement."
"Don't be fooled by the small number of people now. Most of the new students haven't arrived yet. If I recruit a few more upperclassmen, we can catch up with the two major clubs! In a few more years, we might even surpass them and become the number one club in the college."
Lin Yu tried his best to paint a rosy picture for Su Xi—or rather, to envision a bright future.
"Okay, I'll join."
Susie was successfully fooled—no, she was attracted.
With this start, Lin Yu continued to employ a combination of "pay-to-win" and "persuasion" tactics during the subsequent new student registration period, winning over nearly 30% of the new students who were "C" grade or above, as well as almost half of the senior students.
Sure enough, it wasn't that they didn't want to join the club, but rather that the benefits weren't good enough!
In the end, Lin Yu found two "A" level students, Su Qian and a senior student, five "B" level students, and quite a few "C" level students.
Lionheart Society recruits based on its reputation, after all, it's the oldest club in the academy.
With Caesar confirmed as the next president, the student council increased member benefits out of his own pocket. Previously, their recruitment numbers were slightly lower than the Lionheart Club's, but this year their recruitment was on par – a result of half their reputation and half their money.
As for Lin Yu's recruitment of new members for the Holy Spirit Society, it was entirely based on money—who told him he had no reputation?
However, the number of new students recruited by the Holy Spirit Society this time is comparable to that of the two major clubs.
Indeed, this is the power of money.
Chapter 15 The Meeting at Amber Hall
"Dear student Lin Yu, please report to Principal Angers' office at 3 PM. Principal Angers invites you to afternoon tea."
At noon, right after finishing his lunch in the cafeteria, Lin Yu received a message from Norma on his phone.
Let me check the time. Hmm, it's 1 PM. Two hours to go.
All the new students arrived at school yesterday, and Lin Yu rented the "Amber Hall" from the school to serve as the activity venue for the Holy Spirit Society.
Today is the first plenary meeting of the Holy Spirit Society.
As soon as Lin Yu arrived at Amber Pavilion, he saw Susie waiting at the entrance.
"President!" Susie greeted Lin Yu as she walked up to him.
"Let's go, is everyone here?" Lin Yu asked.
"Everyone's here, President!"
Susie replied
As the two entered the Amber Hall, they saw the students standing up to greet Lin Yu.
"Greetings, everyone!" Lin Yu replied.
"Sit wherever you like, don't be shy!"
Lin Yu said kindly
Standing on the high platform, Lin Yu cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, although our Holy Spirit Society is newly established, I am confident that we will not be inferior to the other two major organizations. Do you know why?"
"Because you are the only 'S' level student among the students, President!"
Someone responded, and the others echoed their sentiments.
"No, it's not me, it's us! To be standing here, we are all the elites of the academy. Believe in yourselves, we are no worse than anyone else!"
"Gentlemen, do you dare to join me in creating a miracle!"
Lin Yu opened his arms and shouted passionately.
"dare!"
The students below the stage cheered excitedly, and the applause was thunderous.
After a while, Lin Yu raised his hand and pressed down, and the students quieted down again.
"Everyone! Do you remember what I told you before? That's right, our Holy Spirit Society offers countless benefits! And I, as someone who always keeps my word!"
Lin Yu's gaze swept over the crowd below, a confident smile playing on his lips.
Immediately afterwards, he gave Susie, who was standing to the side, a wink.
Susie and several staff members approached, carrying a thick stack of bank cards. They methodically distributed the cards to each student.
The atmosphere immediately became lively, and many people's faces beamed with excitement.
Lin Yu cleared his throat and continued loudly, "Starting this month, at the beginning of each month, your living allowance will be deposited into the card I just gave you. So please keep it safe!"
Upon hearing this, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience.
Clearly, this extra income is extremely attractive to these young trainees.
After the noise subsided slightly, Lin Yu raised his voice and emphasized, "Please remember this: from now on, you are all part of our Holy Spirit Society family!"
As soon as the words were spoken, another batch of items was brought to the front of the stage—brand new blue and white club uniforms and matching nameplates.
These club uniforms feature simple and elegant designs, with fresh and bright colors, creating a striking contrast with ordinary school uniforms.
It is understood that this unique dress code aims to highlight the characteristics and individuality of each club/organization.
