Dinner was good, and the night's sleep was sweet.
When Qin Siyang woke up, drool had soaked an entire pillow.
"What a great dream."
Qin Siyang sighed, then got up to get dressed, thinking about today's plans.
He first sent a message to Wen Shu. Wen Shu said she was at the library reading together with Gu Yunxuan.
"Gu Yunxuan also has library access?"
"Zhao Sifang helped her get it. Level-three access."
Looking at the messages on his phone, Qin Siyang really wanted to curse.
When he needed access, Zhao Longfei kept talking nonstop about "status."
When it came to Gu Yunxuan, he was generous like some big-time charity donor.
But in the end, Qin Siyang still held back the urge to call Zhao Longfei and question him.
Gu Yunxuan's status had already been earned by her family elders.
She had the surname Gu. Giving her a level-three library access card, who would dare say no?
Qin Siyang did not feel pain because of this kind of unfairness.
Thinking about it carefully, he himself had fought his way up from being an orphan to a status equal to the Gu family's young lady. That actually felt more interesting.
Pat the dust off his body, pull himself together, and keep moving forward.
Qin Siyang took a deep breath and threw the matter to the back of his mind.
"Today is Friday. Huo Dangkou won't come until Monday, so I still have three days of free time."
"If I don't leave the safe zone to hunt gods now, when will I?"
Qin Siyang glanced at the Blue Star calendar.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Blue Star Era 2010, June 25]
[Gregorian calendar, Friday.]
[Summer calendar, Gengyin year, fifth month, thirteenth day. Suitable for sacrifices. Avoid all other matters.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing the four words "avoid all other matters," Qin Siyang took a deep breath.
"The ancestors' words should still make sense."
"Thinking about it again, maybe it's better to rest in my room today."
But spending all three free days staying in the room would be too much of a waste.
He flipped open Blue Star calendar again and looked at the next page.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Blue Star Era 2010, June 26]
[Gregorian calendar, Saturday, International Day Against Drug Abuse.]
[Summer calendar, Gengyin year, fifth month, fourteenth day. Suitable for travel, suitable for demolition, suitable for opening a market.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Great! Going out of the safe zone tomorrow is fine too!"
Then another thought crossed his mind, 'Better to leave late tonight instead. That way the schedule is more relaxed.'
So he sent a message to Hu Chan.
[Rest well during the day today. Leave with me at midnight to go outside the safe zone. We'll be back before Monday.]
After a while, Hu Chan replied, [Oh.]
Qin Siyang couldn't be bothered to care about Hu Chan's attitude.
Hu Chan, as a tool person who owed him a huge debt, didn't need to have a good attitude. As long as she was willing to help him get things done, that was enough.
The plan was to travel at midnight, so Qin Siyang rolled over and crawled back into bed, planning to sleep well during the day.
As usual, he scrolled through his phone for a bit before sleeping.
He took a look at the South Glory University forum.
Unexpectedly, he found that there was actually a pinned post.
[Sophomore student Rong Xin defeated by freshman Qin Siyang at the combat arena]
"A pinned post? How come I've never seen this before?"
Qin Siyang opened the requirements for setting a post as [Pinned] on the school forum.
[Content requirements: must not violate school rules or discipline, must not have harmful guidance, must pass review by the forum operations department. The applicant for pinning will be publicly listed under real name.]
[Pinning cost: 2 bottles of sequence potion per day, paid to the forum management committee.]
"The requirements aren't that high, but the cost really isn't cheap. Just pinning a post costs two bottles of sequence potion per day. That's more than what I earn from collecting rent every day combined."
"I wonder which busybody pinned it. Is it to attract hatred toward me?"
Qin Siyang was puzzled. After clicking into the post, his gaze landed on the first line of text, and he froze.
[Post pinning applicant: Rong Xin]
'It is actually Rong Xin who applied for it?'
Qin Siyang continued reading with a puzzled mood.
[Rong Xin, dissatisfied with the terms of Qin Siyang's special recruitment agreement, submitted a request for a spar. The two agreed to compete at the South Glory University combat arena at 12:00 on June 23, 2010, Blue Star calendar.]
[The two adopted a point-based duel format, with victory going to the first to reach 30 points. At 24:3, Rong Xin chose to concede due to being unable to continue fighting and being at too great a disadvantage. This post is pinned to inform everyone.]
What followed was a brief self-introduction written by Rong Xin.
[Rong Xin. Practical combat course ranking: 38/2781. God-hunting points: 374483. Research points: 870.]
[If your overall abilities are inferior to or close to those of classmate Rong Xin, please do not disturb classmate Qin Siyang anymore. Thank you.]
After reading it, Qin Siyang let out a long sigh.
"This senior Rong really is extremely upright and straightforward. His way of dealing with people is on the same path as Little Zhao. The two of them should be able to become pretty good friends."
But after thinking it over carefully, it didn't seem to be exactly that simple.
Zhao Sifang was a young master of the Zhao family, bearing the mission of leading the Zhao family to clean up its image and return to the surface, so Zhao Longteng had taught him to be upright from a young age.
As for Rong Xin, Qin Siyang didn't know what his background was, but it was definitely not like Zhao Sifang's, backed by an unshakable mountain.
Even with an ordinary background, Rong Xin, from beginning to end, still acted like a gentleman, consistently doing what he believed was right.
It truly gave Qin Siyang quite a shock.
So much so that he lay there for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
Fortunately, the bed had an indescribable kind of magic, and Qin Siyang eventually closed his tired eyes.
Sleep, eat, eat, sleep. A whole day passed in a flash.
After getting up and packing his things, bringing along some food, he took Hu Chan with him and headed to Miracle Building.
On the way, Qin Siyang also reminded Hu Chan, "Right now, only I and a few professors have access to Miracle Building. There are a lot of research secrets inside. I'm taking you in, so don't pull any tricks. Otherwise, even the God Zephyr won't be able to save you. That's what I'm saying."
"Got it."
Qin Siyang led Hu Chan through the shielding light barrier outside Miracle Building and walked inside.
Hu Chan curiously glanced at the laboratories inside the building, but ended up very disappointed.
All the lab glass had been specially treated, making it impossible to see what was inside. And every door was equipped with special locks. There was no way to get in at all.
Qin Siyang brought Hu Chan to the special underground entry area for the drill pod that Lu Daoxing had set up for him.
After Qin Siyang entered the drill pod, Hu Chan was still outside, looking around the room.
"Stop looking around. Hurry up and get in. You won't be able to see anything useful here anyway."
Hu Chan crawled into the co-pilot seat, pouting, "Can't I even look?"
"Look? Who knows what bad ideas you've got again!"
Qin Siyang stepped on the accelerator, and the drill pod plunged straight underground.
"If you really want to enter Miracle Building openly and honestly, then cooperate well with my requirements. If you perform well, I'll introduce you to Old Li and the others. Letting you follow them into the labs to do research isn't impossible."
Hu Chan's eyes lit up, "You mean it?"
Qin Siyang thought to himself that Hu Chan really was interested in research. Just one sentence was enough to spark her interest.
"Why would I lie to you? I don't plan to do research. Those professors are worried about not having reliable assistants and students. If I recommend you, they'll definitely agree."
"Woohoo! Boss Qin is my true god! I'm willing to pluck the stars for Boss Qin!"
