Transaction

Zhou En wanted to scoff. Putting aside the fact that his East District school was only participating in its first combat competition, other schools had been involved in combat for years, something his East District school couldn't compare to.

The Principal waved his hand, signaling Zhou En could leave.

Zhou En wanted to yell at the Principal, "Why don't you just die!" but was dragged away by Chubby.

School, infirmary.

The suburban school's infirmary facilities were very advanced. Not to mention anything else, there were more than just one or two wards.

Li Hui slowly opened his eyes, his gaze blankly fixed on the ceiling, lost in thought.

He had lost. He had lost a match he was sure he would win, which meant he would no longer be an official team member.

Ever since he became an official team member, he had never imagined he would lose one day. He looked at his hands, his expression dimming as he took out his phone from his pocket.

"Beep, beep, beep."

With each ring, Li Hui's heart pounded.

"Hello." A strong, resonant voice came from the other end of the line.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Li Hui immediately confessed, his heart filled with guilt.

A sigh came from the other end of the line, as if the speaker had aged significantly.

"Li Hui, come back. You don't need to worry about things here." After a long silence, the other end finally responded.

"Brother, can you give me another chance? I want to bring glory to the family and don't want my sister to be wronged." Li Hui said, almost crying.

"A chance? How can I give you a chance? Can you still represent the school anymore? There's no way!" The voice on the other end of the line was almost roaring.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely represent the school." After speaking, Li Hui hung up the phone before the other side could reply.

Li Hui knew that the selection of official team members for the club had already been finalized. No matter how talented he was, it would be useless.

However, where there's a will, there's a way. Li Hui clenched his fist and got up from the bed, leaving.

"Student, remember to pay your medical fees for today." The doctor called out as Li Hui woke up from his unconsciousness.

Li Hui completely ignored the doctor's words and walked straight out of the infirmary.

"Hey, hey, hey, student, you haven't paid yet." The doctor hurriedly chased after him, but how could the frail doctor match Li Hui's speed? He disappeared in an instant.

The doctor stomped his foot in anger and returned to his office. He wanted to find out who was so arrogant. The doctor had secretly decided to make a big deal out of this, so the school would properly deal with this ignorant brat.

Student dormitory building twelve, Li Hui walked familiarly to the door of a room on the third floor.

"Clang, clang, clang."

"Who is it?" An annoyed voice came from inside the room, expressing dissatisfaction with roommates who often forgot their keys.

"Shu Qi, I need to talk to you again. Is it convenient now?" Li Hui asked directly upon seeing the person who opened the door.

Shu Qi, one of the club's official team members, ranked third among them, placing him in the middle tier.

Shu Qi agreed indifferently, "No one's in the room. Come in if you have something to say."

Seeing Li Hui enter, Shu Qi closed the door behind him.

"Shu Qi, I know you're not very interested in representing the school in the Hundred Schools War. The reason you're still in the club is because you'll get a substantial bonus if the school performs well in the Hundred Schools War."

"How about this, I'll give you fifty thousand yuan, and you give me your official team member spot." Li Hui stared intently at Shu Qi and said in a deep voice.

Although the five official team members for the club had been finalized on paper, private exchanges were not prohibited. This was because the school hadn't even considered such a situation; who would willingly give up their spot?

Shu Qi chuckled, looking at Li Hui as if he were an idiot. "Do you think I'd agree?"

Although Shu Qi wasn't particularly interested in combat, and he had only started learning it under duress from his parents, now, just representing the school in the Hundred Schools War would add a significant line to his resume.

This was not something a mere tens of thousands of yuan could measure.

His gaze towards Li Hui was filled with mockery, implying that anyone who agreed would be a pig.

However, what happened next made Shu Qi's eyes nearly pop out of his head.

Li Hui slowly knelt down in front of him.

"Shu Qi, please help me. As long as you give me the official team member spot, you can name any condition." Li Hui said, lowering his head.

"Get up quickly." Shu Qi hurried over, wanting to help Li Hui up. This was a joke; if his roommates who had just returned saw this, he'd definitely be on tomorrow's campus headlines.

But Li Hui's knees seemed to be nailed to the ground. No matter how hard Shu Qi tried, he couldn't pull Li Hui up.

After struggling for a long time without being able to pull Li Hui up from his kneeling position, Shu Qi couldn't help but hesitate. To be honest, Shu Qi wasn't happy about participating in the Hundred Schools War during his free time; he'd rather play games.

After much internal struggle, Shu Qi asked, "Why? You have to give me a reason."

Li Hui was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I can't tell you the reason for now. You just need to know that this is a private matter for the Li family."

"The Li family?" Shu Qi was a bit surprised. He was certainly not comparable to a naive person like Zhou En, so he naturally knew that the Li family was the Iron Blood Gang from years ago.

Shu Qi hesitated. He didn't want to get involved in the Li family's internal struggles. However, he also didn't want to give up his official spot so easily.

"Thirty thousand isn't enough." Shu Qi wanted to bargain. Shu Qi had already guessed that even if Li Hui wasn't a member of the Li family, he was definitely related to them. Would disciples of the Li family lack money?

Li Hui gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty thousand. This is all I have. Even if you sell me, I can't come up with any more money."

Shu Qi was tempted by this. Fifty thousand yuan! This amount could buy an Alto car, and even if it were just in a fixed deposit, it would yield over a hundred yuan in interest annually.

If I were to invest, I might make a thousand yuan in pure profit each year.

But human greed is endless. Shu Qi looked at Li Hui, who was kneeling on the ground, and said faintly, "You're a disciple of the Li family, aren't you? I don't believe disciples of the Li family would be so poor."

Li Hui gritted his teeth and said, "Not every disciple of the Li family is rich. There are many poor devils like me. This fifty thousand yuan is all I've managed to save up over the years."

Seeing Li Hui like this, Shu Qi believed him a little more. She nodded, "Alright then. Just give me fifty thousand yuan, and I'll give you my spot as an official team member."

Li Hui was overjoyed at this. He repeatedly expressed his thanks.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou En still spent every day training at the club. Since he had been called back to school, he still had to attend classes honestly.

"Zhou En, are you free this noon?" Liu Yu walked up to Zhou En and said.

She was still wearing a tight, semi-transparent red tank top on her upper body and a pair of pink hot pants on her lower body. Every time Zhou En saw Liu Yu, he felt the urge to get a nosebleed.
