#282 - Chapter 281 Thousands of Miles Away
Li Chenqiu moved his butt over and said unhappily, "Don't be so modest, quickly stand up and show your strength, shocking everyone."
Xiang Nanzhi curled her lips and didn't continue speaking.
The handsome and wealthy man continued, "The star rating assigned to a task is not only a reflection of the difficulty, but also of the reward. The higher the star rating, the more star points will be awarded upon completion."
Someone raised their hand and asked, "Teacher Gao, what are these star points?"
Gao Fushuai explained with a smile: "Star points are similar to contribution points in prison, they are the currency circulating in the Star Picking Academy, and your food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all inseparable from star points.
You may not understand the importance of star points now, but once you enter the academy, you will understand how important star points are. For example, fourth-forbidden or higher resurrected beasts are very scarce in the outside world, and it can be said that they are priceless.
But in our academy, as long as you have star points, you can buy resurrected beasts of any forbidden level you want, because the resurrected beasts hunted by the Federal Army and the Security and Intelligence Agency are directly supplied to our academy."
At this moment, an untimely voice sounded.
"Teacher Gao, if you have enough star points, can you buy a tenth-forbidden resurrected beast in the academy?"
Immediately, everyone turned their heads, and dozens of gazes gathered on Xiang Nanzhi.
Teacher Gao smiled awkwardly: "This... I'm not sure about this. After all, your teacher is only a seventh-forbidden Destiny Awakened. I'll answer your question when I reach the tenth-forbidden."
"Okay, Teacher, keep it up, I believe in you."
Xiang Nanzhi clenched her fist, bent her arm, and cheered for Gao Fushuai with a smile.
The corner of Gao Fushuai's mouth twitched.
Tenth-forbidden?
Maybe in the next life!
In this life, he just wants to lie down.
"That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you to explore. I wish you all a pleasant college life, a smooth graduation, and that you become the pillars of the Federation!"
Clap clap clap!
Applause rang out.
Gao Fushuai nodded to the students and turned to leave the cabin.
Afterwards, a teacher from the War Academy also came to the cabin and began to explain the admission matters of the War Academy.
Li Chenqiu didn't listen carefully, took out his phone, flipped to a familiar chat interface, and pressed the video call button.
...
Thousands of miles away, City 11, Coco Delicious Fried Rice Restaurant.
"Hey, brother, is my scallion fried rice ready yet?"
"Is that Li Chenqiu's older brother? He doesn't look like him!"
"They're not biological brothers, of course they don't look alike."
"Are you guys brain-damaged? Pointing at the new employee of the fried rice restaurant and saying he's Li Chenqiu's brother."
"Family, behind me is the city hero Li Chenqiu, the place where he used to live. Everyone, tap your little hearts, if the likes exceed 500,000, the streamer will take you in for a tour!"
The once deserted storefront was now crowded with people, and all kinds of two-wheeled vehicles blocked the street.
In the kitchen, Li Ji was wearing a chef's uniform covered in oil stains, his hands like windmills, drawing shadows in the air.
Li Qingxia squatted at Li Ji's feet, panting and complaining, "Boss, can't you wait for Xiaog Qiu's popularity to drop a little before opening the store? There are so many people, no matter how many employees you hire, it won't be enough, you..."
Ding-ling-ling... Ding-ling-ling...
Li Qingxia paused and took out her phone from her pocket: "Oh, just mentioned him, and the phone call came."
Li Qingxia answered the phone, and Li Chenqiu's big face appeared on the screen.
"You're such a busy person, you remembered to call me?"
"Why is it so noisy over there?"
"I'll show you how hard our boss is working."
Li Qingxia flipped the camera, stood up, and aimed at Li Ji's face covered in sweat: "Isn't he amazing? Doing five things at once, frying five portions of fried rice at a time, tell me, isn't he strong!"
"He's indeed amazing."
Li Ji didn't even turn his head and scolded: "If you play again, do you still want your salary!"
"Isn't it Xiaog Qiu calling me for a video call? I'll work after I finish the call!"
Li Ji's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, I'm on a plane now."
Li Qingxia asked, "On a plane? Aren't there resurrected beasts in the sky?"
"I'm not sure, but it's been flying for an hour or two, and I haven't encountered any avian resurrected beasts yet."
Li Ji turned his head and looked at the camera: "Is everything alright over there?"
"Everything's fine, everything's going smoothly."
"That's good. You have a cold personality, you have to learn to warm up, after all, you rely on friends when you're out and about. More friends means more paths. In dealing with people, you must be harmonious. If something happens, take a step back, and the sky will be wide open, understand?"
"Boss, don't worry, I understand these principles."
"Understanding is one thing, whether you can do it is the key. Society is sinister, people's hearts..."
"Boss, everything is fine here, the people I've met are very easy to talk to, and I've made a lot of friends, look."
As he said that, Li Chenqiu pointed his phone at Xiang Nanzhi, who was mimicking a gorilla's facial expressions, trying to make Li Chenqiu laugh.
Xiang Nanzhi: (○` 3′○)→( ̄(工) ̄)
"Hello, Grandpa, I'm Xiang Nanzhi, Li Chenqiu's friend."
"Hello, Xiao Xiang, has Li Chenqiu caused any trouble over there!"
"Uh... he's pretty good, he hasn't done anything out of line, and he gets along well with us."
"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved."
Li Chenqiu smiled and took back his phone: "I told you, everything is fine here.
"If you encounter something upsetting and want to talk about it, you can call me. If you're not doing well there, come back. The Federation has allocated a large house to our family, and the three of us can each have a room."
"Okay, I understand."
After chatting for ten minutes, Li Chenqiu hung up the video call.
Xiang Nanzhi reached out and slapped the back of Li Chenqiu's head: "Are you sick, why did you give me the camera for no reason!"
Li Chenqiu smiled: "The gorilla you played was so lifelike, I naturally wanted to show it to others."
...
...
A faint ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, lifting the corner of the night, dyeing the sleepy clouds with a layer of red, and it was dawn.
"The Star Picking Academy is about to arrive, everyone wake up, don't sleep."
Gao Fushuai's voice rang out in the cabin through the broadcast.
"Ha~~~ Has it arrived so soon?"
"It's all your fault, if you hadn't dragged me to play Honor of Kings last night, would I be so sleepy now?"
"You're such a turncoat, who was begging me to carry him last night!"
"So what if I begged you to carry me, are you so worthless?"
...
Li Chenqiu opened his eyes, his gaze passed through the window to the place where the sun rose, and the soreness accumulated between his eyes slowly eased.
Star Picking Academy - has arrived!
