There was no doubt that Li Wei was not as magnanimous and gentle as he appeared on the surface.

At the very least, he definitely wasn't indifferent to Xu Qianqian's attitude towards Su Ming, nor was he unconcerned about the interactions and relationship between Xu Qianqian and Su Ming.

Su Ming didn't find it strange.

Everyone in the academy knew that the top student of the Hunter Department was pursuing Xu Qianqian, and he never concealed or hid it, even after being rejected countless times, he remained persistent.

If such a man truly didn't care about his beloved woman being intimate with other men, then he was probably preparing to start a grassland at home.

At least, Su Ming didn't believe Li Wei was that kind of person.

And Li Wei's reaction told Su Ming that his thoughts were correct.

(It wasn't a waste of my effort to test him a little.)

Su Ming secretly added a mental note.

Countless cliché plots in his previous life's novels told him how crazy these so-called big shots would become for a woman.

The so-called beauty brings disaster. A person like Xu Qianqian in a novel was definitely the female character used to set up a rival for the protagonist to slap in the face. There were simply too many flags that could be triggered by such a woman.

Just like now, Su Ming was sure that he had been targeted by Li Wei.

And once targeted, it was very normal for conflicts to arise later, even to the point of becoming mortal enemies.

But Su Ming didn't want to show off, didn't want to display his abilities in front of others, and didn't want to disrupt his development plan by fighting for a woman.

Therefore, Su Ming definitely didn't want to mess around with Li Wei later, ultimately being forced to slap him in the face, display his abilities in front of others, or even trigger a cliché plot of "the small one is beaten, then the old one comes," becoming an enemy of the entire Li family.

Thinking of this, Su Ming's eyes slightly turned as he retracted his hand.

"Just kidding, I was a little excited to be able to talk to the top student of the Hunter Department, I hope Senior Li Wei doesn't take it seriously."

Su Ming showed Li Wei a naive smile and said this.

"Since Senior's team is preparing to gather, then we won't disturb you, see you next time."

Saying that, Su Ming took An Zijin's hand, bowed to Li Wei, and then left with An Zijin, who hadn't reacted yet.

"Wait, wait for us!"

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu saw this and quickly chased after them.

"Then... then we're leaving too! Senior!"

Lei Hao also quickly bid farewell to Li Wei, and with a whoop, he grabbed Ye Bai, who exclaimed in surprise, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

"Ah, this..."

Li Wei was still thinking about Su Ming's sudden "joke," but he didn't expect Su Ming to slip away in the next second, making him a little caught off guard.

"He... he left?"

Even the surrounding onlookers were like this, one by one, all stunned there.

It wasn't until a while later that a chuckle awakened everyone present.

Xu Qianqian, who had been looking indifferent, didn't know what happy thing she had encountered, and she couldn't help but laugh.

The smile was faint, and the laughter was very light, but the School Belle's once-in-a-millennium smile still made many people lose their minds.

Such Xu Qianqian muttered a sentence.

"Sure enough, it's like his style." Xu Qianqian said this, while restraining her smile, she looked at Li Wei and said, "Let's go too, Senior."

"Okay, okay." Li Wei could only nod blankly.

Su Ming and Li Wei's confrontation was just an insignificant interlude in Huaming District, which was about to usher in a race war.

Those students who liked to post trivial things online had no intention of making any special news in the forum after arriving here, and they all began to tighten their expressions under the influence of the atmosphere.

The academy's instructor led the way at the front, passing through checkpoints one after another, brushing shoulders with military vehicles and soldiers, and finally led a group of students to a camp.

This camp was the residence for the students of the Demon Hunter Academy during the Huaming District battle.

Although it was called a camp, it wasn't actually a pile of tents set up for people to live in, but rather several large buildings circled together to form an academy community, providing a place for the students to rest and move around.

The president of the Demon Hunter Academy, along with the vice president, the directors and deputy directors of the Hunter Department and Sorcerer Department, and a group of academy executives, had arrived here earlier and had been waiting for the late students for a long time.

After all the students arrived, he first gave a speech, promoting the spirit of human beings facing the Phantasmal Demon invasion without fear and determined to fight to the end, and then he brought up the main topic.

"This academy community has a total of three buildings, one is a dormitory building, one is a life building, and one is an office building."

"The dormitory building is where you will be staying next. We have assigned corresponding suites to each team in the academy. It is best for members of the same team to live together to facilitate work. Of course, there are many single rooms in the suite, and each person can live alone. The Base City will not let you future professionals worry about the quality of living while doing your best for humanity."

"The life building is used for daily trivial matters. For example, the cafeteria is in the life building. All the food inside is free, and it is not limited to serving three meals. You can order food and eat 24 hours a day. No matter how late you come back from performing tasks, you can always eat hot meals."

"As for the office building, it is a place specifically for tasks. Its function is no different from our academy's mission hall. The tasks assigned by the Base City are all received from there. You can choose the tasks you want to complete according to your needs and earn Contribution Points."

"Let me explain in advance, in addition to some necessary special tasks that we will entrust to a specific group of students, we also have requirements for each student."

The president said to all the students with a serious expression.

"Our requirement is very simple, that is, before the end of the Huaming District battle, all students must obtain at least 10,000 Contribution Points."

This was a necessary requirement.

Otherwise, what if some students came here but didn't contribute, and instead stayed in the academy community every day, eating and drinking for free?

Base City had to mobilize students from the entire Demon Hunter Academy to help because of a shortage of manpower. If some students are afraid of death and just try to muddle through this period, no one will forgive them.

Therefore, the academy has set such a requirement, requiring each student to earn 10,000 Contribution Points before the end of the Huaming District battle.

If they can't do it, it proves that this person hasn't been on many missions and hasn't contributed much to this battle.

Such a person...

"We will only give one treatment, and that is expulsion."

The dean's words made many people feel a little tense.

Even Su Ming grimaced, knowing that he might not be able to slack off this time.

"Well, that's all for the necessary explanations. The rest of the time is yours to arrange freely."

Seeing that the students were all tense, the dean nodded with satisfaction and said this.

"I hope that our Longyao Base City can achieve the final victory in this battle, and I also hope that when we return in triumph, we can still see you in the academy."

Leaving such melancholy words, the dean announced the dismissal.

Su Ming and his teammates looked at each other.

"Let's go."

Lei Hao shouldered his backpack and smiled, taking the lead.

Everyone nodded in succession.

Dormitory building, fourth floor.

In front of room 404 on this floor, Su Ming, carrying his backpack, looked at the room number on the door, his mouth twitching.

"This number feels so malicious."

Su Ming didn't even dare to go in.

But the others had already rushed into the room, shouting.

"Wow!"

"So big!"

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu cheered.

"Is this where we're staying?"

"Isn't this too luxurious!?"

Lei Hao and Ye Bai also looked surprised.

Even An Zijin's eyes lit up, revealing a surprised expression.

What appeared in front of everyone was a very luxurious suite, not only with a vast hall, side hall, restaurant, and even an open-air balcony, but also six rooms each located in a corner, forming a very majestic layout.

"Look! You can see the sea from the balcony!"

Jiang Wanyu had already run to the balcony.

"So pretty..."

Yao Beibei was leaning against the huge floor-to-ceiling panoramic window, looking at the crowds of people below, her magnificent chest pressed against the glass.

"This is more presidential suite than a presidential suite!"

Ye Bai turned around, the joy on his face never disappearing.

"This is really awesome!"

Lei Hao had no culture and could only use the words he used when traveling around the world to describe his mood at this moment.

Only Su Ming was still standing in front of the door, looking at the "404" room number, his face full of entanglement.

"What's wrong? Brother Su Ming?"

Seeing Su Ming like this, An Zijin couldn't help but ask softly.

"No, it's nothing." Su Ming shook his head, and said with a serious face, "I'm just thinking, will we suddenly disappear while living here?"

An Zijin: "???"

The others: "???"

Everyone looked puzzled, obviously unable to understand Su Ming's wild thoughts.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Seeing this, Su Ming gave up the idea of explaining to these ignorant people how serious this matter was, rolled his eyes, and walked in.

"I think you're insulting us."

Ye Bai raised his hand to indicate there was a problem.

But Su Ming's answer was powerful.

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think." Su Ming threw down these words, and then said, "Choose a room, I choose this one."

Saying that, Su Ming very consciously walked towards the largest room.

"Stop right there!"

"You shameless bastard!"

Lei Hao and Ye Bai's eyes widened, and they immediately rushed forward.

However, Su Ming seemed to have anticipated their actions, as he took a running start and dashed into the room, locking the door behind him.

Lei Hao and Ye Bai could only wail and howl outside the door, their voices filled with rage.

"How childish."

"Senior brothers..."

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei watched with disdain.

Only An Zijin remained, staring at Su Ming's room, her head lowered, lost in thought.
