"Let's go, Chen Mo, let's head back," Li Rui said as the other roommates came over.

"Okay." It had been a long time since he had chatted with his brothers, and tonight was a good opportunity, so they all returned to the dormitory together.

"Fourth Brother, have you found an internship unit?" Ma Yuan asked.

"No, actually, I haven't looked at all," Chen Mo replied.

"Ah! If you don't intern, how will you submit your graduation internship report?" Zhao Guodong asked.

"I've already spoken to the express delivery company where I have my part-time job. They will issue me a work report for the internship period, so there shouldn't be any problems." Chen Mo said. This was something he had planned long ago, and he had already informed his supervisor at the express company. There shouldn't be any major issues. As for the connection between express delivery and his major in biology, it was hard to say. Perhaps in the future, bio-paper could reduce waste from express packaging, achieving environmental protection and energy saving. He chuckled!

"After we get our graduation certificates, does anyone have any good plans?" Oldest Brother asked.

"I'm going home to take the civil servant exam. My grandfather has always said that if I don't pass the exam, I'll have to stay home and study," Zhao Guodong said with some helplessness.

"Haha! It seems your life is destined to be full of tragedy. I'm doing much better. I've already found a job and will be working at a company owned by one of my relatives. We've already made arrangements," Ma Yuan said with a smile.

"What about you, Fourth Brother? Are you still planning to work in express delivery?" Li Rui asked.

"Not necessarily, but I haven't decided what I want to do yet," Chen Mo said. He had been cultivating for four years. Although he hadn't felt any Qi Sensation, his body was strong and healthy, and he hadn't gotten sick once. Moreover, his hearing and sight had become sharp, and his memory was exceptional. Given this, Chen Mo still wanted to continue for a while longer, as he couldn't let go of the idea of cultivation.

"Fourth Brother, although I don't know what's going on with you, if you need any help, just say the word. We brothers will all help you. If you can't find a job, come to me. Finding a job shouldn't be a problem," Li Rui said. His family ran a chain catering business, so arranging a job for Chen Mo would be no trouble. This wasn't him looking down on Chen Mo, but rather out of concern.

Chen Mo knew that Oldest Brother was concerned about him and was saying this out of kindness. Not everyone could elicit such words from Li Rui. Besides the brothers in the dormitory, very few people had managed to catch Li Rui's eye over the past four years. This guy was not only a hidden Second Generation Rich but also incredibly wealthy. His family's businesses, including chain catering and hotels, were worth a combined scale of tens of billions, making him someone not to be underestimated. This guy was a hidden Local Tyrant!

"Okay! If I decide, I'll come to you for a job." Chen Mo wasn't being coy. Of course, he would take a ready-made job. Besides, his own situation was still uncertain, so agreeing now was fine. They could discuss it further when the time came.

"Great! It's settled then," Li Rui said with a smile. He admired Chen Mo the most. Not only was he steady and intelligent, but he was also an excellent student. Although he wasn't good at interacting with people, these things could be trained. Most importantly, his character was good, which was rare. Few people nowadays could pass the test of character. He felt very fortunate to be in this dormitory and to have met a few good brothers. After knowing his situation, they didn't treat him differently or think highly of him; they treated him the same as always, interacting with him just as they had before, without any change. Furthermore, none of the people in the dormitory were snobbish; they interacted with a normal mindset, which made Li Rui really like the atmosphere in the dormitory.

The group took out the canned beer and cooked food they had bought and continued their afternoon gathering, drinking and chatting. The dorm supervisor was also particularly lenient with these Fourth Year students and didn't conduct room checks. As long as they didn't engage in Fighting and Brawling, they wouldn't interfere. They were about to leave school, so how many more days could they "bounce around" in the dormitory!

The group didn't know what time they fell asleep, but besides Chen Mo, the other three were drunk. Chen Mo was also slightly intoxicated, but fortunately, his body had been strengthened by years of training, giving him a relatively good Alcohol Tolerance. Drinking in society later on wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Early Morning, Chen Mo, as usual, got up at 4:30 AM to cultivate. He returned to the dormitory before 6:00 AM and brought some breakfast for the lazy bums in the dorm.

He packed his bedding and belongings, tied them into a bundle, said goodbye to the other three, and headed back to his Rental Room.

On the way back, he recalled yesterday's gathering. It might have been the last gathering in college. Everyone would soon enter society. Although they would have to come back to school a few more times, they wouldn't be staying long, just to submit their theses and collect their Graduation Certificates. There was nothing else.

Thinking about the Fighting Incident yesterday, Chen Mo found it somewhat amusing. That Brother Hai was really drunk. He came barging in with only a few people. Didn't he realize there were dozens of classmates? Would they be afraid of him? He was so arrogant and wanted to fight, so he was naturally flipped over. However, he wondered if Brother Hai would throw a Wine Bottle if he went up against Wang Lisheng. Hmm! He probably wouldn't throw it. Every Villain Has His Match! If Brother Hai were to fight Wang Lisheng, he would probably be very happy.

While thinking, he took a car back home. Then, he tidied himself up and went to the express delivery company. He had taken a day off yesterday, so he was a bit busy today. He decided not to think about anything else for now and just focus on the work at hand.

After finishing his day's work, he returned to his Rental Room, ate a simple meal, and then sat on his Bed to cultivate. There was no other way; it had become a habit.

After more than two hours, he had once again achieved nothing. Chen Mo sighed deeply, feeling somewhat frustrated. It seemed his cultivation would have to come to a temporary halt. His family situation required him to work and earn money; he couldn't continue like this.

He took out a small cloth bag from the most hidden part of his suitcase. Inside were the Storage Bag and the Little White Bead. He set the Storage Bag aside. He hadn't reached Qi Refining Layer One yet, so he couldn't open it. He just held the Little White Bead in his hand, observing it.

Even his Master didn't know what this Little White Bead was, only that it was very precious. Looking at it now, he was still clueless. The Little White Bead was about 1.5 Centimeters in diameter, smooth and round. Its white luster was contained within, making it seem like an ordinary white glass bead. However, holding it felt comfortably warm and cool.

He took out the Little White Bead to look at it, wanting to take one last look. Tomorrow, he planned to stop cultivating, a practice he had maintained for four years, and focus on working hard. His Elderly Parents needed him to be filial.

He played with the Little White Bead for a while. Just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly recalled a plot from a novel. It said that cultivating on Earth was difficult because of air pollution and lack of spiritual energy, making progress impossible. In the end, the protagonist obtained a treasure through a fortuitous encounter and kept it with him day and night. The treasure then transmitted spiritual energy to nourish the protagonist, who eventually embarked on the path to Cultivate to Godhood, becoming immensely powerful! So, should he try it too? The Little White Bead was also a treasure. The difficulty Master Ye Shang had in obtaining it was enough to prove its extraordinary origin!

To be safe, Chen Mo pricked his finger again and smeared his blood onto the Little White Bead. The blood was instantly absorbed, and a faint light flashed, but there was still no other reaction. However, that faint light gave him confidence. Since the Little White Bead could emit light, it meant it reacted to his blood. So, what about True Essence?
