Lin Returns Under the Moon: Waiting for the train, it'll arrive after 3 PM.

Little Fish Person: I'll pick you up at the station!

Lin Returns Under the Moon: No need, it's too much trouble for you. Besides, the school arranged a bus to pick up new students.

Little Fish Person: Hmph, I think you just want to hook up with a senior student, don't you?

Lin Returns Under the Moon: ...

Little Fish Person: The senior students in their fourth year are all wolves, you better protect yourself!

Hua Yueyu felt that Lin Baici, with just his looks and physique, would definitely not lack girlfriends during his four years of university. If he were a bit of a scumbag, he could have a "pentakill" every semester.

Time passed quickly with someone to chat with.

"Attention passengers, the G1955 train from Guangqing Station to Haijing South is now boarding. Please proceed to ticket gate A12 or B12 for ticketing. Boarding will be on platform 16!"

"Please stand firm and hold on when using escalators!"

"Be careful of the gap between the platform and the train when boarding!"

The station announcement sounded. The passengers who were sitting down, like a school of ornamental fish in a pond attracted by tourists feeding them, all started to move, converging towards the ticket gates.

Four long queues immediately snaked out.

Lin Baici glanced at his phone.

9:37, it was time to depart.

Lin Returns Under the Moon: They're boarding!

Little Fish Person: Be safe! Haijing awaits you! [Hugging emoji]

Lin Baici put away his phone, stood up, and slung his backpack over his shoulders. Seeing that everyone had brought quite a bit of luggage, with the least being a suitcase and a handbag, a sense of happiness welled up in Lin Baici's heart.

He didn't immediately join the queue. Instead, he walked towards the programmer with dark circles under his eyes.

After the programmer packed up his laptop and hurried to join the queue, Lin Baici casually stood behind him.

"Handsome guy, have you considered getting a check-up?"

Lin Baici knew that this kind of approach was abrupt, and saying someone was sick might get him hit. However, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so he decided to say it.

The programmer turned around, looking confused.

"Your complexion and your state seem off. You might be sick!"

Lin Baici said earnestly.

"Thanks!"

The programmer gave a polite thank you, not taking it seriously. He had been feeling unwell lately, but with a 996 work schedule and staying up late every day, it would be a miracle if he were healthy.

Once he finished this project, he would take a leave of absence, and maybe he'd be fine.

Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Baici knew he wasn't taking it seriously, so he told a well-intentioned lie.

"I'm a medical student, and my grades are pretty good!"

Lin Baici smiled. His eight white teeth, paired with his handsome looks, sunshine, and gentle demeanor, made people feel good about him.

Hearing that Lin Baici was a medical student, the programmer took his words to heart.

"Thank you!"

The programmer decided to get a physical examination at the hospital after his business trip. It's better to be safe than sorry.

"You're welcome!"

Lin Baici was just doing a good deed, accumulating good karma.

"Young man, can you take a look at me? Am I sick?"

A middle-aged woman in her fifties nearby suddenly spoke up.

She clearly wanted a free consultation.

[Diabetic patient, not watching your diet, eating whatever you want. You'll suffer in a couple of years!]

"Auntie, you need to watch your diet. Diabetics need to be careful about what they eat!"

Lin Baici advised.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

The auntie looked astonished. "I was only diagnosed with diabetes less than five months ago. How did you know?"

The passengers queuing nearby hadn't paid attention to this side, but now, hearing the auntie's words, they all looked over.

The programmer also looked surprised.

Lin Baici smiled.

God of Gluttony, you're amazing!

This must be some kind of powerful Divine Grace!

"Young man, could you give me your phone number? Which school are you studying medicine at?"

The auntie felt Lin Baici's medical skills were good, so his teacher should be even more formidable. She thought she should pay him a visit.

"Young man, take a look at me, what illness do I have?"

"Young man, I haven't had much of an appetite lately, what's going on?"

"I've had a headache for months. I had a CT scan, but they didn't find anything. Can you take a look for me?"

Those who struck up conversations with Lin Baici were all elderly. It wasn't that they wanted free medical advice, but they felt it was a rare opportunity to encounter a skilled doctor.

After all, who wouldn't want to be healthy and live a long life?

Lin Baici's head pounded. He wished he hadn't spoken up.

Fortunately, the ticket inspector's pace was quick. In just a few minutes, it was Lin Baici's turn. He swiped his ticket and quickly strode towards the platform.

The high-speed train pulled into the station, its airflow stirring.

As the train slowed down and was about to stop, Lin Baici immediately jogged towards carriage 07.

"Everyone, please stand behind the one-meter yellow line!"

The station attendant, holding a megaphone, reminded everyone to be careful.

The train doors opened. After the disembarking passengers had cleared, the people who had been waiting for a long time surged towards the train doors like a school of sardines fighting for food.

The main issue was that everyone had a lot of luggage, and the train doors weren't very wide, making it difficult to board.

Lin Baici was over 1.8 meters tall. After consuming the Meteorite Stone and Divine Remains, his strength had increased dramatically. He could bench press 100 kilograms with ease.

However, he didn't rush to get on.

Everyone was afraid they wouldn't be able to get on the train, so they moved quickly.

Lin Baici didn't wait long. He was the only one left on the platform. He lifted his foot, stepped forward, and entered the carriage.

The passengers hadn't settled down yet. The aisle was crowded with people placing their luggage. It was bustling. Lin Baici waited a bit longer at the carriage connection.

The train started moving.

People gradually quieted down, most of them starting to play on their phones.

"18F!"

Lin Baici, holding his ticket, frowned when he found his seat.

The woman he had seen in the waiting hall earlier, wearing a denim mini-skirt and beige studded high heels, was sitting in his seat.

Lin Baici wasn't bothered by the fact that she might have HIV; rather, it seemed she had taken his seat.

Seats C, D, and F. F should be the window seat.

Lin Baici looked down at his ticket and then compared it to the seat number on the train.

"Miss, you seem to have taken the wrong seat!"

Lin Baici showed her his ticket: "I'm 18F, the window seat!"

"Handsome, my name is Song Li. I wanted to enjoy the view outside. Could we switch seats?"

The young woman's face lit up with surprise when she saw Lin Baici.

She hadn't expected such a coincidence, to be sitting with this handsome guy.

Lin Baici didn't mind. He placed his backpack on the luggage rack and sat down in the aisle seat, 18C.

The passenger in seat 18B was a young man, sandwiched between Lin Baici and Song Li. He looked about eighteen or nineteen years old and was also a university student about to embark on a journey.

Song Li was beautiful and dressed very sexily, making 18B feel awkward and excited, fantasizing about what good things might happen on this trip.

"Thank you, handsome!"

Song Li smiled: "Are you a university student? What's your name?"

"Mm!"

Lin Baici nodded, not interested in revealing his name to a stranger.

The young man in 18B thought this guy was crazy.

A beautiful woman was actively striking up a conversation, and you're acting indifferent?

Don't you know you're wasting a great opportunity?

If it were me, I'd tell her everything about my ancestors going back eighteen generations.

Lin Baici's coldness made Song Li's expression falter slightly. A competitive spirit surged within her, and she smiled at 18B.

"What about you? You look like a university student too?"

18B was flattered and immediately nodded: "Yes, I took the college entrance exam in June and received my admission letter to Haijing Normal University!"

"That's amazing!"

Song Li showed an envious expression at the opportune moment.

"Not at all, it's very ordinary!"

Although 18B said that, his face was already beaming with pride.

"Handsome, which university are you from?"

Song Li deliberately provoked Lin Baici.

If his school wasn't as good as Haijing Normal University, he'd be incredibly depressed.

[This woman is gaslighting you, I suggest steaming her alive!]

The God of Gluttony radiated killing intent.

"Sister Song, please understand, if he doesn't want to say, don't ask!"

18B looked at Lin Baici and smiled, "Many people in our class didn't do well, and they don't want to answer these kinds of questions either!"

Youngsters just entering puberty, upon seeing a fashionable and charming woman like Song Li, were completely unable to control themselves. It was like male peacocks competing for mating rights, wishing they could display their most beautiful feathers to her.

Lin Baici wasn't made of mud. Especially after experiencing life and death in the God's Ruins of Longchan Temple, he had developed a sharp edge.

If you want to hit on girls, that's your business. But you want to use me as a stepping stone?

No way!

"Is Haijing Institute of Technology worse than Haijing Normal University?"

Lin Baici asked with a serious expression.

"Uh..."

18B was speechless.

What a joke. Haijing Institute of Technology was a top 5 school in Haijing City, with an admission score over sixty points higher than Haijing Normal University.

This was the college entrance examination score; a one-point difference could eliminate tens of thousands of people.

Song Li wasn't familiar with university rankings, but judging by the situation, it seemed this 18B guy had been outdone, and not by a small margin.

"Damn, he's so handsome, and his grades are this good? Is there any justice in the world?"

Song Li grew more annoyed the more she thought about it. Most importantly, why wasn't he paying attention to her?

"Sister Song, want some chips?"

18B pulled out a large bag of snacks from his Nike backpack and offered it to Song Li.

"Thanks!"

Song Li was distracted.

Normally, if 18B had tried to please her like this, Song Li would have chatted with him and exchanged WeChat details. It wasn't troublesome to keep a simp around. But today, with the contrast of that aloof young man, she lost interest.

Wait,

Could this kid be playing hard to get?

Song Li suddenly got excited.

You want to play these games with me?

You're still too green!

Song Li began to chat and laugh with 18B.

An hour passed, and the aloof young man was still looking at his phone.

Damn,

It's the latest model, the most expensive Apple phone.

Wait,

That watch on his left wrist, it's a Rolex!

He's rich!

Song Li felt she might have misjudged. He wasn't playing hard to get; he was completely uninterested in her.

Lin Baici didn't have much mobile data and was reluctant to watch videos. Reading novels was also tiring, so he decided to close his eyes and rest, planning to take a short nap. But less than half an hour after closing his eyes, a strong sense of hunger made his stomach cramp.
