Who told him to make the cards!

He'll be back for the next card theory class!

After leaving the Card Making Department, Chen Zhi went to the Card Imaging Department next door to attend a class.

Then I went back to the main campus to pick up Zhou Keke after school.

Archaeology is a high priority for Chen Zhi, but there were no courses he wanted today, only topics like methods of identifying antiquities and distinguishing chronological characteristics, so Chen Zhi didn't go.

Arrive at the bronze statue square.

The bell for the last class has already rung.

This is when the college has the most people.

They walked out in twos and threes.

Some people boarded the shuttle bus, while others rode motorcycles.

A person was squatting next to the semi-finished shuttle car, tapping and twisting with a wrench.

It looks like the Chuqin River?

Many students greeted him, but he ignored them all, as if he were deaf.

The crowd was too dense, and Chen Zhi couldn't find Zhou Keke for a while.

The girl saw him first.

"Brother Chen!"

"Here! Here!"

Zhou Keke ran excitedly toward Chen Zhi.

A blonde loli was following behind her.

She was half a head shorter than Zhou Keke, with delicate features, like a porcelain doll.

She looked at Chen Zhi with considerable surprise.

She wondered when the academy had acquired such a handsome guy; she'd never seen him before.

Archaeology is a less popular major, so students don't face much pressure. Apart from people like Zhou Keke who have dreams, most others don't work too hard and just enjoy themselves.

Their favorite place to go is Banmengyu Island.

Secondly, there's the library. Because it's high up and quiet, you can sit by the window and enjoy the handsome men and beautiful women of the college.

Seeing Zhou Keke hug Chen Zhi's arm as soon as she went up, she couldn't help but show a gossipy expression.

"Oh, Coco, so that's why you always ignore those guys who are interested in you. Turns out you're already taken."

"You're really good at hiding things."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Keke waved her fist at her, "This is my brother."

The little girl didn't believe her: "I've never heard you say that before."

“Okay, actually he’s my uncle,” Zhou Keke said with a grin. “He hasn’t been in Tianhengjing for long; he just got into our academy yesterday.”

"Just between you and me, he's a Transcendent Realm expert!"

"Transcendental domain??"

The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Zhi again.

Because they were so close, she had to lift her head to see Chen Zhi's face.

"You're Chen Zhi, the one who ranked first in this admissions assessment?"

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Hello."

"I'm not good at all!"

Envy was practically overflowing from the corners of her eyes as she said sourly to Zhou Keke, "Keke, what luck you have! Your boyfriend is not only handsome, but also incredibly talented."

What's the point of putting in any effort?

If it were her, she would just lie down on the bed and make Chen Zhi work hard every day.

"I already told you he's not my boyfriend!"

"Then introduce me to them."

"?"

"I should go home now, Lilith."

Zhou Keke pulled Chen Zhi away, then turned back and winked at the little girl: "See you tomorrow."

Lilith stood there, looking resentful.

She wanted to stomp her feet, but felt it would be undignified.

Forget it, I'll torture Zhou Keke again tomorrow!

Stepping out of the college.

Chen Zhi and Zhou Keke boarded the bus back to the old town.

"Was that girl just now your classmate in the same major?" Chen Zhi asked the girl.

"Mmm." Zhou Keke nodded. "Isn't it cute?"

Chen Zhi didn't answer, only saying, "She seems to be a completely different style from us."

She looks a bit like a mixed-race person.

“Of course,” Zhou Keke said. “Her family is in Nacaldo, and she came here to study.”

"An international student?" Chen Zhi asked in confusion. "Why don't I hear any accent in her accent?"

"Because Lilith has an exceptional talent for languages, she can pronounce the native dialects of the three great empires very fluently and accurately."

Zhou Keke glanced at Chen Zhi as she spoke: "Brother, why are you asking so many questions? You wouldn't happen to have a crush on her, would you?"

"She's not an adult yet."

"?"

That's even more impossible.

Chen Zhi was simply curious about Lilith's name and lineage.

She seems to share a similar style with the Empire's first master craftsman, Trastwell, and the first card master in history, General Bismarck.

This is what Chen Zhi found strange.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that a sacred place like the Seigaku Academy would erect a bronze statue for a foreigner.

Even if it were to be erected, it shouldn't be in the college square.

They wouldn't be so proud when talking about these two geniuses.

Therefore, the early empire must have had people of "Western" descent.

But for some reason, they are rarely seen now.

In all the days Chen Zhi had been in Tianheng Capital, Lilith was the first blonde girl he had ever seen.

……

evening.

After Chen Zhi and Lao Zhou's wife and daughter finished their meal, they went about their own business.

Besides being the owner of this antique general store, Lin Yu is also an employee of the Vatican's urban planning department, responsible for designing divination sketches for some residential areas.

The workload is not low, but because there is no strict social requirement, I can often work from home.

This family has been able to stay together until now entirely thanks to Lin Yu and her family of origin.

Zhou Keke's tuition was paid by her maternal grandfather.

However, we can't blame Lao Zhou for this.

Miners' salaries are no lower than those of ordinary company employees, after all, it's a job that requires risking one's life.

But Ding Mao was simply inhuman.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

With Shen Qinglian watching over them, the Zhou family's life will soon improve.

Once he earns money and pays off his student loans, he can help out a bit.

As usual, Zhou Keke was reading in her bedroom.

Chen Zhi then entered Guanyu.

Old Man Meng wasn't there this time.

But there were a few more sheets of draft paper on the table.

Chen Zhi picked it up and glanced at it; it turned out to be a basic ancient structure.

There are twenty in total.
