Chapter 24 - A Secret Crush (1/2)

Making money was merely one important part of life. For the sake of testing into to the number one university of Asia, Qin Fen hurried to school the moment it was daybreak.

The past week of deep sleep had caused him to lose his morning milk delivery job. This made Qin Fen a bit depressed. He no longer had free milk for breakfast. For the sake of supplementing his body with nutrients, he would need to spend some nutrition costs for breakfast.

Qin Fen, cast once more in intense study, suddenly discovered that his two friends, Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota, and both disappeared from the face of the earth. The only thing left was Lin Liqiang’s super powerful skills in taking leave of absences from school everyday.

For geniuses like Enzo Rota and Lin Liqiang, things would have been fine even if they didn’t submit leave of absences. They were already accepted into the U of S&T. They spent time in school for the sake of experiencing a high school life.

The leave of absences were nothing more than a message from Lin Liqiang to Qin Fen: Us brothers are doing all right. You don’t need to worry about us.

Song Jia acted mysteriously everyday. She would frequently and oddly pop out of nowhere, even taking the initiative to ask Qin Fen to grab a meal together after school. Towards these invitations, Qin Fen would always think of an excuse and refuse. Even though he was a bit poor, he knew that it wasn’t proper etiquette to let a woman pay for a meal when eating out. Plus, if he had Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota there, everyone eating out, then these two would be able to take the heat off of him.

Hanging out with Song Jia alone? Qin Fen didn’t believe himself to be a match to this goddess. There was no possibility of a relationship developing, and he didn’t want to waste good paper money. Though Qin Fen was forced to admit that Song Jia was a very attractive woman, he already had a secret crush. It was best not to be too close with this great beauty.

As for Song Jia, the more Qin Fen refused her invitations, the more her curiosity and competitiveness stirred. There had never been someone who acted this arrogant in front of her, Song Jia!

Such matters happened for a few days in a row before drawing a beautiful yet strange scene in the school.

Song Jia, seizing the title of being the most beautiful girl in the school the first day she transfered, would passionately ask Qin Fen out on a date. The result: Student Qin Fen avoided Lady Song Jia’s invitation like avoiding the plague. This made people very puzzled. Did the current trend of popularity and style change? Though Qin Fen had sharp, clear, and masculine facial features, there were still guys more handsome than him in the school.

Qin Fen’s life used to consist of working in the morning, then going to school, then working at night. Now it had changed to cultivating in the morning, then going to school, then thinking of ways to avoid Lady Song Jia’s invitations, and finally logging on to the battle network at night to accept challenges and make money at night. He alloted time for two fights a day.

Only where there was competition did the challenger’s fee increase. If he fought several dozen fights a day, the fee would naturally decrease quite a bit. Supply and demand. Qin Fen deeply understood this. He deliberately set only two fights a day. Right now the price to fight a round with him was already four hundred dollars.

If things were to continue like this, then he would probably have a sizable wealth in a few years. It was just that such a thing was impossible. Qin Fen understood this very well. As people discovered that challenging him would always lead to losses, the number of challengers would decrease. In the end, there wouldn’t be anybody recklessly spending money to challenge him if they weren’t absolutely certain of victory.

It was good to take advantage of the market. Qin Fen would carefully defeat his opponents, adopting thrilling methods to beat his opponents. He gave others hope, and at the same time, he enticed others to continue challenging him. Simultaneously, he actively searched for information pertaining to the War God Arena to prepare for the upcoming War God Arena event.

Prizes were immediately announced, and they were all good prizes. Qin Fen was able to confirm this much, at least. He was full of expectations toward the War God Arena.

“Thirty-Six Hours wins….”

The system determined the victory to Qin Fen’s side, the announcement ringing in the air, but Qin Fen had already logged out of the Sky Martial Battle Network by then.

Today was Sunday. Qin Fen had something very important to do. He was going to meet someone. One of the few people who treated him with kindness in this city.

He had already made an appointment with this person last night over phone. It was almost time to meet now.
