Maybe there is

On the way back, Xu Tui realized that the passage to the Gene Research Institute that An Xiaoxue mentioned was just a small door opened in the wall separating it from Huaxia Gene Evolution University, complete with access control and surveillance.

Having already obtained his intern assistant pass, Xu Tui swiped his card with authority, and the small door opened.

Returning to the Mysterious Academy, Xu Tui took only six minutes.

Xu Tui still felt a pang of regret for the braised pig trotters that had already disappeared.

"Let's move dorms first, then I'll comfort you," Xu Tui said, patting his stomach.

The New Student Reception Center had already called Xu Tui, asking him to move out as soon as possible. A new batch of students would be reporting and checking in that evening.

And Xu Tui had a lot to do today.

There was also an incident report for the Discipline Department that he still needed to write. The Discipline Department required it to be submitted before 9 AM tomorrow.

His luggage was easy to move. As a handsome guy like Xu Tui, he mainly needed to bring his face when going out; he didn't carry much else. He pulled his suitcase and carried a black travel backpack.

Xu Tui was assigned to a two-person suite in Building 3, Unit 1604, which was Room 4 on the 16th floor. Building 3 had 18 floors in total. The 16th floor was a relatively quiet and good location. The higher floors were equipped with elevators.

From the sixth floor upwards, the elevator buttons had a large slogan pasted on them: "If you're a real man, climb to the 18th floor and see how many seconds it takes."

Xu Tui stood at the elevator entrance, looking at the slogan, and hesitated. He was a real man. But he also wanted to take the elevator.

"There should be many ways to prove I'm a real man, but not limited to climbing stairs."

After comforting himself, Xu Tui took the elevator directly to the 16th floor and entered Room 1604.

Swiped the door card and entered the room.

There was a stuffy smell in the room. Xu Tui quickly opened the window to ventilate.

He took a look around. It was a suite, quite worth the price.

Each person had an independent living room, about 15 square meters. The bed and cabinet were integrated, and it wasn't the common bunk bed for students. It was a bit like the bed at home, comfortable.

There was a desk with drawers, a single sofa, and a small single coffee table.

To the left of the entrance corridor was the bathroom, with a dry and wet separation.

It wasn't large, only a few square meters, but the washing area, shower area, toilet area, and laundry area were clearly divided.

"Worth it!"

Next, it depended on the roommate.

As long as he wasn't too messy, Xu Tui's tolerance was quite strong.

"Heizi, have you finished your enrollment procedures?"

Xu Tui called Cheng Mo first.

"Ah, don't mention it, I'm still queuing. But it's almost done. I just finished the grade assessment. There are too many people in the Limitless System."

"How were the results of the grade assessment?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Cheng Mo became excited.

"Little Leg, do you think I'm amazing or not? I only unlocked eleven gene points during the Gene Aptitude Test. In just these five days, I've unlocked three more gene points.

Fourteen gene points. The school rated me as High E-grade. Then today, during the assessment, because of my injury, they found that my bone recovery ability was very good, and I was rated as 'good', which is a small upgrade.

Currently, I'm Mid D-grade."

"Mid D-grade, not bad!"

On this end of the phone, Xu Tui frowned slightly. Although Mid D-grade was not bad, the scholarship amount was still a bit low.

The treatment for Mid D-grade did not include E-grade Energy Supplement Potions.

"Moreover, the testing teacher also said that because of my fracture, some tests couldn't be done. They allowed me to retake the test once in seven days.

I think I'll be Mid D-grade by then, no problem."

The treatment for Mid D-grade would be really good.

At least one E-grade Energy Supplement Potion per month.

Currently, students can sustain their physical fitness and cultivation needs solely through dietary intake.

However, once systematic cultivation begins, Energy Supplement Potions become crucial.

"Right, Little Leg, what's your rank?" Cheng Mo asked excitedly.

"I..."

"What are you dawdling for, hurry up and say it. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

"I'm Mid C-grade."

As soon as these words left his mouth, the other end of the phone fell silent. After a long pause, two words finally popped out.

"Holy crap!"

Xu Tui never brought up the matter of enjoying High C-grade treatment again.

"Oh right, a Divine Person appeared at the academy today."

"What Divine Person?"

"Rumor has it, some King of Pretenders took down nearly half of the Limitless System's freshmen by himself. Extremely arrogant!"

Xu Tui, "..."

"Remember, don't mention my name in front of your classmates, and definitely don't say we're Iron Buddies," Xu Tui instructed.

"Why?"

"You'll understand later."

"Tch, what are you playing at? I'm not talking anymore, I'm going to pay my tuition first."

Afterward, Xu Tui sent another message to Chai Xiao, thanking Brother Chai for his help today and giving him his dorm number, inviting him over when he had time.

Then, Xu Tui sprinted downstairs and bought some essential daily necessities from a nearby campus convenience store.

Slippers, a foot basin, a washbasin, towels, hand sanitizer, laundry detergent.

He also went to the cafeteria for a meal.

He retaliated by getting two more braised pig trotters.

He couldn't let the lunch go to waste.

By the time he returned to the dorm, it was already dark. After tidying up, Xu Tui took out paper and pen, preparing to write the incident explanation report for the Discipline Department.

Xu Tui had already figured out how to write this explanation report.

Let's stick to the facts.

Not exaggerating one bit, just stating the facts.

The rest will be handled by the Discipline Department.

After all, the first basis for the Discipline Department's judgment is surveillance footage.

Current surveillance footage is very clear.

Cause, process, event, people, location, time.

Xu Tui's middle school essay wasn't written in vain.

However, as he was nearing the end, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Is my new roommate here?"

Xu Tui hurried to open the door, only to see three-colored hair fluttering.

It was Chai Xiao.

"Huh, Brother Chai, what brings you here?"

"Just something, hey, and a sofa, this environment is nice."

"I don't have any tea yet, but I can offer you a cup of boiled water. It's just been boiled." Xu Tui poured a cup of water.

"Mm."

Chai Xiao plopped down on the sofa, his gaze drifting.

"Brother Chai, if there's something, just say it directly."

Hearing this, Chai Xiao coughed dryly, "Brother, I'll be direct then, please don't mind."

"Mm, I won't."

"It's like this, the Yuan family approached my family, hoping I could mediate this matter for you, hoping to turn a big issue into a small one, and a small issue into no issue at all."

After speaking, Chai Xiao added, "They contacted my father and relayed the message through him. I had no choice but to accept."

"I understand."

Xu Tui nodded, "Brother Chai, does the Yuan family have connections?"

"Yes, and quite deep ones. Those who operate in Kyoto Prefecture have to give the Yuan family some face, and my family is no exception.

However, you don't need to worry. Even if the Yuan family has connections, they are within government departments under the Gene Committee. Their influence doesn't reach Huaxia Gene Evolution University."

"The top academies aren't just for show."

As he spoke, Chai Xiao sneered, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone through the trouble of finding my father to ask me to mediate this matter."

Xu Tui had already considered this.

"Brother Chai, does this mean I've made an enemy of the Yuan family?" Xu Tui asked.

"It's not quite an enmity yet. If such a conflict led to enmity, the Yuan family would be swarming with enemies by now, and they wouldn't have gotten to where they are.

It's just a blow to the pride of the Yuan family's younger generation. If they have a chance to cause trouble for you in the future, they probably won't pass it up, so just be careful," Chai Xiao said.

"What if I insist on pressing the issue? What's the worst that could happen?" Xu Tui asked.

"Insist on pressing the issue?"

Chai Xiao's expression changed slightly. "If you insist, it's a big problem. A lower-ranked individual actively engaging in bullying in a public setting and provoking a higher-ranked individual, while also violating the new student regulations, is quite serious.

The most severe consequence could be expulsion.

However, considering all other circumstances, the school will most likely not expel them.

They'll likely be placed on probation."

"But probation is still quite harsh.

Not only will their treatment level be reduced by one grade, but they also won't be able to use certain special equipment.

It will significantly hinder their studies.

Most importantly, it will be recorded in their files.

This will have an impact on their future career paths after graduation."

"Probation? Is that why they came to you to find me?" Xu Tui asked.

"Brother, listen to my advice. Insisting on pressing the issue is meaningless. It will only create a few more enemies for you, with no other substantial benefit.

Whether that Yuan Shu kid causes trouble for you in the future is his business.

But as long as you become powerful, what does it matter if he causes trouble or not?"

As he spoke, Chai Xiao handed Xu Tui a card.

"This is the Yuan family's gesture of goodwill, 400,000. This was the condition that Yuan Shu kid offered you back then.

Now the tables have turned," Chai Xiao said.

Xu Tui did not take it immediately.

"400,000, and I just have to write the report the way they want?"

"Yes, it's basically just roughhousing between classmates, and you won't pursue responsibility. That way, it'll just be a conflict, and it won't involve personal authority," Chai Xiao said.

"Okay!" Xu Tui took the card. "No problem. Your Brother Chai is here, I have to give you face."

"Get lost!"

"Do you think I'm blind? It clearly has the power of 400,000," Chai Xiao said irritably.

"Brother Chai, wouldn't it be more satisfying to use these 400,000 for my cultivation?"

"It would be, of course it would be. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this trip for you."

At that, Xu Tui readily tore up the original report and began to rewrite it according to Chai Xiao's instructions.

In a restaurant outside Huaxia Gene Evolution University, Yuan Shu, Ma Zixu, and four other classmates were sitting together, their expressions gloomy. Even the food in front of them didn't seem appetizing. After all, it was just the beginning of the school year, and the possibility of receiving a disciplinary probation was enough to make anyone unhappy.

Suddenly, Yuan Shu's Personal Communication Device chimed softly. The gazes of the others immediately turned towards him.

After reading the message, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's settled. Probation and expulsion are definitely out of the question. At most, it'll be a warning or a severe warning."

As soon as he said this, the gloom on the faces of the four sitting around the table dissipated, and they all relaxed. They started urging each other to eat and drink, enjoying themselves.

After downing a few bottles of beer, the dark-faced Ma Zixu suddenly spoke with a raspy voice, "Brother Yuan, is that how this matter ends?" Ma Zixu's throat injury was the most severe, with a fractured bone, swelling, and bruising. His voice was hoarse and somewhat grating as he spoke.

Yuan Shu glanced at Ma Zixu. "My family said to let this matter rest here. If you want to get even in the future, it will depend on your personal strength."

"He's from the Mysterious Academy, and from the Wisdom Heart System. We're from the Extreme Academy. The chances of clashing with him in the future are too slim," Ma Zixu said regretfully.

"For now, this is the only way," Yuan Shu sighed, downing a glass of beer, clearly still feeling frustrated.

"Brother Yuan, I have an idea," Ma Zixu suddenly said in a low voice.

"My family said no."

"We absolutely won't make a move, nor will we provoke him. We just need to move our fingers a little, edit and forward some trending content. That should be enough."

If it works, that kid will probably have endless trouble." Black-faced Ma Zixu said sinisterly.

"Just a finger's movement, what do you mean?" Yuan Shu became interested.

"Brother Yuan, look at this trending news – a freshman who defeated nearly half of the Limitless System's freshmen." Ma Zixu pointed to the WeChat Moments projection.

"I saw this too, it's so annoying right now." Yuan Shu said with annoyance.

The hotter this trend became, the more embarrassed and shamed they were.

"Brother Yuan, don't be angry yet, watch me change a few words when I repost this Moments post."

Black-faced Ma Zixu performed a series of operations, and when Yuan Shu looked again, the title of this Moments post had changed.

"Among the freshmen, a fierce person who defeated more than half of the Limitless System's freshmen has appeared."

"Brother Yuan, it can also become like this, a freshman, a fierce person who defeated more than half of the Limitless System has appeared!"

"It can still be like this, among the freshmen, a fierce person who has crushed the Limitless System's freshmen has appeared!"

"And finally, it can be like this, among the freshmen, a fierce person who has crushed the entire Limitless System has appeared!"

With each successive title change, Yuan Shu himself was also filled with trepidation.

This was pulling too much hatred.

It was practically declaring war on the entire Limitless System!

But immediately, other classmates asked, "This, those senior students from the Limitless System, they won't be so stupid as to look for Xu Tui's trouble just by reading a title, right?"

"Of course not. But it's like a tiger doesn't deliberately step on an insect, but if it happens to be convenient, and it happens to dislike this insect?" Ma Zixu chuckled sinisterly.

"Hmm, maybe there will be."

This sentence was spoken by Yuan Shu.
