Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 74 Putting Tang Wulin in Debt

"Gu You, do you know why your rating is lower than theirs?" Wu Changkong stared intently at him.

"I know." Gu You closed his eyes, truly nostalgic for his school days... this was the feeling...

Wu Changkong did not respond to Gu You's answer. Once is dangerous, and saying more is useless. People must remember it themselves. He believed that Gu You was a smart child and would pay attention next time.

Wu Changkong continued calmly, "Next, you need to strengthen your understanding and learning about soul beasts. Don't think that just because soul beasts are rare now, this kind of learning is useless. On the contrary, understanding the characteristics of soul beasts will greatly benefit your future cultivation. According to research, 80% of the soul skills possessed by human soul masters were once possessed by soul beasts. The more you understand the abilities of soul beasts, the more you understand your future competitors. At the same time, it will also allow you to survive longer in the Spirit Ascension Platform, a place that produces top-level experts."

"You should have already experienced this: the longer you persevere in the Ascension Platform, the greater the benefits you receive. Therefore, you still have a long way to go..."

When the topic of how rare soul beasts are now came up, Tang Wulin felt a chill. He turned to look at Gu Yue, who simply smiled and nodded at him.

Strange? What was that feeling just now?

Tang Wulin shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

……

After their journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform, the six of them became incredibly serious about their studies, as if their soul skills had been amplified. They didn't need Wu Changkong to urge them at all. Even Zhang Yangzi put aside his hostility towards Tang Wulin and the other two. It was also the first time Gu You had ever touched a book in this world. For the first time, he felt that learning was very fulfilling and that reading was quite good, especially this book, "Complete Explanation of Soul Beasts," which was like reading a mythological story.

"Gu You! I heard you can eat a lot. How about I treat you to a meal? Last time I was able to absorb the energy of the Millennium Crystal Bear, it was all thanks to you." Tang Wulin jogged up to Gu You, his eyes shining. "Tang Wulin, slow down, ouch!" Xie Xie followed Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue also walked slowly towards them from afar with her arms crossed. It was Xie Xie who told Tang Wulin the news. This was the first time Tang Wulin had heard of someone who could eat so much. He was finally no longer the school's glutton!

"Oh?! Sure, I eat a lot, are you sure you don't mind?" Gu You laughed. Although he didn't know where Tang Wulin got the information, he had indeed eaten quite a lot in the school cafeteria these past few days. And if he hadn't forcibly suppressed his urge to eat, he probably would have eaten even more. He had also recently heard many people call him the "King of Rice Buckets," and to be honest, Gu You didn't mind. This was the real campus life, full of youthful spirit and vitality...

"Of course, I'll definitely treat you. I've saved up quite a bit of money from forging; it'll be enough for you to eat," Tang Wulin said confidently. Xie Xie chimed in, "Exactly! You have to be well-fed. If his money isn't enough, I'll cover it!!"

Gu Yue felt so out of place. Why were these guys always talking about eating and drinking?

……

The canteen for the intermediate grade is located in a small building next to the main teaching building. The building has three floors and serves meals for the six grades in the intermediate grade. The first and second grades eat on the first floor.

There are only tables in the cafeteria, no chairs. This is a rule of Donghai College. Students have to stand while eating, which is intended to enhance their sense of urgency. Gu You said, "I know this all too well."

There are three windows, labeled A, B, and C respectively. Meal C is completely free, meal B is partially paid, and meal A is fully paid.

Of course, correspondingly, the ingredients for meal A are the best, followed by meal B, while meal C is just ordinary food.

Ancient travelers naturally choose meal A, not only because it is expensive, but also because it is more nutritious.

And a meal only costs 10,000 yuan!

Gu You stood in front of a table, waved his hand, and shouted, "Serve the food!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin struggled to carry over a dozen boxes of Grade A meal sets. It was definitely not enough, but the main problem was that the boxes were large and it was difficult to control the weight, so they kept moving erratically. They had to be careful with every step to prevent spills.

This scene immediately attracted all the middle-grade students who were eating nearby. They gathered around and pointed at Gu You.

"Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this."

"Can he really finish all these meals?"

"They're so rich! They spent over ten thousand on this meal! Class Zero's conditions are really good."

The students were envious, seeing their class rise from the worst to the best. They had witnessed the freshman competition, and the establishment of Class Zero meant all the best resources were being used on them. Now it seemed they could eat whatever they wanted, and recently they'd even heard rumors that...

The first-year Class Zero of Donghai Academy was established. The academy gave them treatment that was far different from that of ordinary students. Their classroom was moved to a separate, spacious room. At the same time, their dormitories were also adjusted. Instead of four people sharing a room, each student had their own room, which was the same as the dormitories of ordinary teachers.

I also heard that the college directly upgraded that teacher's dormitory to a suite.

These are just rumors, some true, some false, some believable, but it's best to do your own research firsthand...

Gu Yue was speechless. The first meal wasn't just a set meal; it also included various dishes and soups. Naturally, this task was assigned to her, so what could she say? She could only serve the dishes to Gu You.

Gu You opened a lunchbox and began his performance, immediately launching into a frenzied eating spree, putting on plastic gloves and shoveling food into his mouth.

This method was so cruel that everyone present was stunned.

"My goodness! Ten servings in ten minutes! At this rate, I'll be eating sixty servings of Meal A in an hour!"

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this ancient tour shows no sign of stopping, which is simply defying the heavens.

Thirty-five minutes. Tang Wulin remained silent; Xie Xie had run away.

Thirty-five hundred thousand just like that? Ah! Haha... Tang Wulin felt like he was going crazy. He worked hard every day at the East China Sea Forging Association, taking on tasks to forge parts. He had finally saved up some money, and today he was going to spend it all, and he might even be in debt.

Gu You's belly was round and full. It's true that eating too much of this meal is not good. He felt that even the dragon god bloodline in his body couldn't handle it. The individual nutrients weren't much, but the quantity was large, and eating a lot of food would definitely fill him up eventually.

But to make Tang Wulin experience the pain of being in debt, Gu You decided to keep eating!

……

"Report to the director immediately!"

The surrounding students were in a panic. 108 meals of Class A food were gone... That's enough for one person to eat a month's worth of Class A meals from the school!

Gu You's belly was very swollen at this time, completely sticking out and round, and he really couldn't eat anymore.

Gu Yue suppressed a laugh with a look of disgust, while Tang Wulin lay on the ground, his face grim. He was in debt today...
