The living conditions for Work-Study Students at Notting Academy were not very good, and Du Cheng naturally would not skimp on himself in this regard.
Entering a shop, he waved a hand and bought the two most expensive sets of bedding, spending a total of one Gold Soul Coin.
"Alright, we can head back to the academy now."
Carrying the two sets of bedding, Du Cheng did not forget to add:
"If we still need anything, we can find time to come out and buy it later."
"Mm."
Xiao Wu nodded and did not refuse Du Cheng's suggestion:
Perhaps it was an illusion, but when she saw that Du Cheng had bought her the same best-quality bedding, she felt as if he radiated a warm aura.
With their Notting Academy admission notices, Du Cheng and Xiao Wu entered the academy without any trouble.
Thinking of how the guard had bowed and scraped when they entered, Du Cheng could not help but speculate to himself:
Maybe he had just been dealt with by Tang San, which was why he was acting like that.
"Cheng Ge, hurry up."
After entering the academy, Xiao Wu was clearly in a much better mood.
She skipped along at the front, the Scorpion Tail Braid on her head swaying with each movement:
"Seventh Dormitory for Work-Study Students. This is our dormitory."
Before Du Cheng could say anything, Xiao Wu had already pushed open the somewhat dilapidated wooden dormitory door.
In an instant, several gazes converged on Du Cheng and Xiao Wu.
"Are you new Work-Study Students?"
Looking at the two of them, a burly youth with several scars on his face stepped forward.
"That's right."
Xiao Wu nodded and placed her and Du Cheng's bedding on an empty bed:
"What do you want?"
"According to the rules of our Seventh Dormitory, every newcomer has to pay respects to the boss first."
"And..."
After a pause, the burly youth added:
"Your bedding is pretty good. You might as well offer it to our boss too."
After speaking, the burly youth gave a fawning smile to a youth with light blue hair nearby:
"Boss, don't you think I'm right?"
Following the youth's gaze, Du Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly:
If I'm not mistaken, this guy should be Tang San. He may be the protagonist, but he looks utterly ordinary. At the very least, he's nowhere near as handsome as me, with this face comparable to the esteemed readers'!
Back to the point, Tang San had no idea that Du Cheng already knew who he was.
Hearing Du Cheng's words, Tang San was stunned for a moment before quickly nodding.
Although his newly acknowledged cheap teacher had sent him a set of bedding, its quality was clearly inferior to Du Cheng and Xiao Wu's sets.
As a refined egoist, Tang San would not pass up an opportunity to make himself more comfortable.
"You want my bedding?"
Xiao Wu's brows rose, and her expression turned cold:
Leaving aside her naturally fiery temperament, this was something Du Cheng had given her. How could she casually hand it over to someone else?
"What if I refuse?"
Being glared at fiercely by such a pretty and adorable little girl, Tang San's heart could not help but stir:
I only need one set of bedding anyway. How about...
Unfortunately, things were destined not to go as smoothly as he imagined.
"That's simple."
Before Tang San could speak, Wang Sheng beside him had already made the decision for his boss:
"As long as you can defeat my boss in a one-on-one fight, you can become the new boss. Naturally, you won't need to offer up your bedding."
"But..."
After another long pause, Wang Sheng continued:
"If you lose, then from now on, you'll have to obey the boss's orders completely. No matter what he asks, you can't refuse."
After speaking, Wang Sheng shot Tang San a flattering look.
Having been the former boss of the Work-Study Student Seventh Dormitory, then immediately defecting after witnessing Tang San's strength, he was naturally no simple character.
Though it was merely a small glance, Wang Sheng had noticed the hint of interest in Tang San's eyes when he looked at Xiao Wu.
That was precisely why he had added that extra condition to the challenge rules:
As a good subordinate, one had to understand the boss's intentions and needs at all times.
The facts proved that Wang Sheng's approach was entirely correct.
Sensing his gaze, Tang San revealed a smile he could not suppress:
If I can make the girl before me obey all my demands, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want?
"Alright, I'll fight you..."
"I'll fight you."
Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, Du Cheng stepped forward on his own. Beating up Scum San was naturally better left to him.
If he remembered correctly, the skills Xiao Wu had mastered were all closer to "Strangle." Once she used them, she would inevitably have some rather intimate physical contact with her opponent.
Du Cheng might have the tastes of a Cao Cao Enthusiast, but he had no intention of satisfying someone else's Cao Cao Enthusiast desires.
Since Xiao Wu had already formed Bond Value with him, she naturally became one of his targets:
Du Cheng did not want Tang San to benefit from her for nothing!
"I hit pretty hard. Are you sure you want to fight me?"
Looking at Du Cheng, who had stepped forward, a trace of displeasure flashed through Tang San's eyes:
When he saw Xiao Wu about to speak, he had wanted to take the opportunity during the match to show off his close-combat techniques. Unexpectedly, this eyesore had appeared.
"You only have one chance. If he loses, you'll have to listen to me too."
Tang San's gaze fell on Xiao Wu as he made one final attempt:
No one would be willing to leave their fate in someone else's hands. He wanted to use this method to force Xiao Wu to fight him herself.
But...
"I agree!"
To Tang San's surprise, Xiao Wu nodded calmly after hearing his words.
Not only that, she even waved her fist at Du Cheng:
"Cheng Ge, good luck! I believe you'll definitely win!"
Grind, grind~
The sound of teeth grinding came from Tang San's mouth, and his face darkened:
It had to be said that Xiao Wu looked truly adorable when encouraging someone, but unfortunately, the person she was encouraging was not him.
Why?
Why doesn't such an adorable girl belong to me?
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Tang San clenched his fists tightly, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
He had already made up his mind:
As long as he defeated Du Cheng in the upcoming match, he could display his strength.
At that point, the little girl before him would surely know who was the right choice.
"Watch out."
The words had barely left his mouth when, before anyone could react, Tang San swung his fist at Du Cheng's face:
Since you're so handsome, I'll ruin that face first!
As he moved, Tang San could not help but feel secretly delighted:
Having lived two lives and mastered countless Tang Sect Secret Techniques, he did not believe some native little brat could block his moves.
