That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

The reality was not as sordid as netizens imagined. Liu Huan and Selena engaged in hand-to-hand combat at the gym, and the fight was evenly matched.

Since consuming the Silver Heart Lotus Root and reaching the fourth stage of Bone Forging, his strength has increased by at least 100%.

Even so, they couldn't defeat Selena, whose main profession was magic. The two fought until they were drenched in sweat before taking a short break.

During the break, Selena grabbed Liu Huan's wrist, subtly channeling a wisp of magic into it, and exclaimed in surprise, "How could your body be so severely depleted?"

Liu Huan looked at her blankly, not understanding why she would say that.

"Your body has had a vital essence forcibly drained, damaging your foundation. This situation looks somewhat like that of a bounty hunter!"

"Bounty hunter? What does that mean?!"

Selena stared into his eyes and said, word by word, "In my world, there is a force called bounty hunters. Because bounty hunters often face life-or-death battles, someone created a technique that overdraws the body's resources. This technique is extremely evil; after use, it draws upon the evil energy of dark creatures or demons to replenish the body's deficiencies!"

"So, I also need to draw upon the evil energy of evil creatures to make up for the deficit?"

"That's true in theory, but I suggest you take some time to rest and recuperate."

Selena didn't press Liu Huan about what had happened or why he was so badly injured.

Although she lived for so long, spending nearly two-thirds of that time asleep in the Fountain of Youth, she still knew when to advance and when to retreat.

Since Liu Huan was unwilling to talk about it, so be it. Everyone has their own secrets. Most importantly, the other party did not press him about his specific background.

He sheltered her simply because he knew she was an elf from another world, which Serena considered a great favor.

Liu Huan nodded, indicating that he would definitely take good care of himself during this period.

After all, school has started, and he can no longer frequently travel to Maple Leaf Town to accept commissioned missions.

However, Liu Huan felt that Selena was becoming more and more like a sophisticated urban woman.

From her initial shyness and innocence, with a hint of cunning, to her current cool and sexy demeanor.

After washing up, Liu Huan went straight to bed, while Selena continued to immerse herself in the world of online games.

The next day, Liu Huan took a shower, dressed up briefly, and then forcibly dragged Selena to school.

This homebody hadn't left the house for four or five days in a row, and her skin was pale. For her sake, Liu Huan took her out.

Yangcheng Agricultural University, Taishan District.

Selena followed behind Liu Huan, yawning. Because of her appearance, she wore a mask, revealing a pair of almond-shaped eyes that looked like stars and were filled with autumn water.

She wore a fitted white shirt that barely covered her navel, and a black pleated skirt that swayed in the autumn wind, revealing a pair of black over-the-knee socks that exposed her fair skin.

This is a standard JK (high school girl) uniform.

Liu Huan stared at Selena's slender waist for a moment and muttered, "Perhaps Selena doesn't have a pear-shaped figure, but rather a perfect hourglass figure!"

Selena's stunning beauty was further accentuated by her outstanding temperament and perfect figure, especially with the mask covering her face.

Along the way, many male college students blushed and kept glancing at Selena, but the two didn't care and walked side by side toward the dormitory building.

The biggest advantage and the biggest disadvantage of Yangcheng Agricultural University is its extremely large campus.

Therefore, a joke circulated among the students.

Students from different dormitory areas can date in much the same way as those in long-distance relationships.

Li Xiang and Wang Yaling were in this situation, which is why they wanted to rent a room outside.

Most student dormitories in Taishan District are four-person rooms, and Liu Huan's other two roommates also returned early.

One is named Deng Ke, and the other is named Cheng Hao. The former is from Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, and the latter is from Shanghai.

Before they arrived, Liu Huan had already arranged with Li Xiang that Wang Yaling and Selena would wait for them at the East District Sports Field.

On the first day of school, the people in the dormitory should get together and have a good meal.

in the dormitory.

"Hey, long time no see!"

The speaker was a man with long blond hair. He had a angular face, a high nose, and handsome features. When he spoke, his lips were full, making them appear straight.

At first glance, he looks like an incredibly handsome man; even so-called celebrities are no match for him.

Of course, first you have to ignore the anime costume he's wearing.

The dress depicts a village girl with purple braids, her eyes are aloof and her posture is noble. She draws a long sword from her chest with her fingers in an orchid-like gesture.

This hardcore anime and manga enthusiast is Cheng Hao, whose life's pleasures include buying merchandise, collecting figurines, wearing ita-clothes, and driving ita-cars.

Because he was so handsome, even though Cheng Hao's personality and behavior were somewhat out of place, he still won over many female fans during his freshman year.

Not only were there girls from other departments, but also upperclassmen, but Cheng Hao rejected them all!

In his words, "My heart has been dedicated to Lord Mitakenō-no-kami!"

After returning to his dorm, Liu Huan glanced at the other person's desk and saw that there seemed to be a few more figurines. "You dare to keep buying figurines?! You're probably going to be broke again this month?!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Ke immediately leaned closer: "Liu Huan isn't here this semester, let's see who you borrow money from to get through this month!"

During his first three years of university, Cheng Hao often spent all his living expenses on buying figurines and related merchandise, and he was only able to get by thanks to Liu Huan's financial assistance.

Therefore, because he couldn't afford gas, his itasha (decorated car) often sat in the school parking lot gathering dust for months.

"Hmph, I thought of that a long time ago!"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hao smiled upon hearing this and said smugly, "Senior An Nan said that as long as I date her, she'll cover all my living expenses from now on!"

Upon hearing this, the entire dormitory seemed to freeze in time for a few seconds.

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot, especially Deng Ke, who remained motionless for several seconds before uttering a single word.

"Grass!"

Li Xiang immediately pressed on, "Isn't An Nan the most beautiful girl in the Materials Chemistry department next door?"

Cheng Hao nodded slightly, "That's right!"

"Hiss, this kid is terrifying!" This thought flashed through Liu Huan's mind after hearing this.

He was willing to abandon his principles for the sake of anime figurines.

"God is unfair! God is unfair!!" Deng Ke immediately pounded his chest and stamped his feet. He also wanted to be taken care of by a beautiful, rich, and beautiful senior who had fallen from the sky.

Unfortunately, compared to the handsome Cheng Hao, Deng Ke's face is rather ordinary. Let alone having female classmates, even if Bo Gang came, he probably wouldn't be interested in him.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "By the way, I remember the class monitor mentioned in the class group that we need to prepare papers this semester. Have you guys thought about it?"

Cheng Hao's pursuit of the Dao was steadfast, and he was single-mindedly devoted to his virtual wife, so he naturally had no interest in these three-dimensional things.

On the contrary, Deng Ke became smug: "Hehe, I finished collecting all the data needed for my thesis with Professor Lin last semester. Now all I need to do is write a proposal and then put the data into the thesis!"

"Damn it, I told you you wouldn't go to your internship last semester, so you were sneaking off!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang glared at the other person.

Deng Ke's plan is to spend his entire senior year doing internships, and then seamlessly transition to a job.

The advantage of doing this is that there is no gap period, making it easier to get into a big company later.

Liu Huan and others' majors are biased towards chemistry, which is one of the four major pitfalls in biochemistry, environmental science, and materials science. Normally, pursuing further education or taking the postgraduate entrance examination would be a good choice.

However, the recent employment environment is quite harsh, and since China has no shortage of people, most people choose to go out to work in order to avoid their academic qualifications becoming less valuable.

Aside from Cheng Hao, a long-time anime fan, the two looked at Liu Huan.

"Old Huan, what about you?"

"Me?" Liu Huan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "I might do a paper with Professor Zhang!"

Liu Huan's choice of Professor Zhang was based on certain considerations. First, Professor Zhang's research focuses on materials science. Second, Professor Zhang's status is also impressive; he appears to be a Yangtze River Scholar, a level second only to academicians.

Most importantly, when Liu Huan saw some extraordinary things in the other world, he wondered how big a sensation it would be if these things were brought to the real world.

Even setting aside nuclear fusion or warp drives, discovering a material that can reduce electrical resistance to zero could greatly advance current technological development.

When modern technology develops to a certain level, combined with the extraordinary power of another world, if Liu Huan claims to be second, who would dare to claim to be first?

After saying that, the group of people from the dormitory went downstairs.

Because of the back-to-school dinner, apart from Deng Ke, who was single, the other three all brought their female companions.

Selena, along with senior Anan and Wang Yali, arrived at the dormitory building to wait for someone.

Annan, the senior student, wore an off-shoulder blouse and tight-fitting jeans, which perfectly showcased her voluptuous curves and straight legs.

There's no need to elaborate on Cheng Hao and his senior girlfriend, nor on Li Xiang and his girlfriend whom he's been with since high school.

But when did that brat Liu Huan find a girlfriend?

And it's still so beautiful?!

When Selena removed her mask, her flawless, beautiful face still involuntarily amazed everyone.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

While they were still on the stairs, Deng Ke couldn't help but grab Liu Huan by the collar and whisper, "Dude, why did you sneak off?!"

"We agreed to stay single together, so how come you secretly found such a beautiful girlfriend?!"

Liu Huan said, "Didn't you also sneak away with your graduation thesis?"

"Is this different?"

"That's different?!"

Even Cheng Hao, who is immersed in the world of anime, has to admit that Selena's beauty is unparalleled.

Even if a two-dimensional character were to enter the real world, it wouldn't be any different!

"Let go!" Fearing a muscle reaction, Liu Huan slapped Deng Ke away, straightened his clothes, and then whispered, "She's not my girlfriend, just my cousin, Liu Linna!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang nodded slightly: "You city folks really know how to have fun. Last time you called her Selena, and this time you're calling her Liu Lina."
