Oscar: Ahahaha, the sausages are here~

The next day, after breakfast, everyone except Oscar gathered on Shrek Academy's main training field, ready for class.

Before Flender arrived, Dai Mubai poked Ma Hongjun beside him. "Fatty, you're not going out tonight, right?"

Ma Hongjun shook his head, looking a little puzzled.

"Good. Stay in the dorm tonight. I'm going out to see those twins from last time..." Dai Mubai said.

Ma Hongjun's eyes instantly lit up. He raised his eyebrows with a lecherous grin. "Boss Dai, if you're eating the meat, do I get some broth?"

"About that..."

Dai Mubai stole a glance at Zhu Zhuqing. She was standing beside Lin Ye and showed no reaction to what he had just said.

"Fatty, we'll talk tonight."

Ma Hongjun was delighted to hear that.

Knowing Dai Mubai as well as he did, there was no doubt that those words meant yes.

After saying that, Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing again. When she still showed no reaction, ignoring him as always, a nameless fury surged in his heart.

Just as Dai Mubai was inwardly cursing her as a bitch, Shrek's bell rang, and Flender slowly walked onto the training field.

"Today is our second lesson..."

Flender was about to continue when he counted the students and realized something was wrong. "Where's Oscar? Is he slacking off and sleeping again?"

Tang San, who shared a dorm room with Oscar, hurriedly reported, "Dean, Oscar was still cultivating when I left this morning. Perhaps he entered a meditative trance."

Flender frowned, then said to Tang San, "Tang San, go get him. We can't have today's lesson without him."

"Yes."

Just as Tang San was about to run back to the dorm, Oscar came running over from a short distance away.

"Oscar, are you looking to run laps again?" Flender glared at him.

Oscar's face was brimming with excitement. Hearing Flender's words, he quickly shook his head and explained, "No, Dean. I've broken through to rank thirty."

"What?!"

Flender, Tang San, and the others all looked astonished. Only Lin Ye remained calm.

Oscar reaching rank thirty was something that would have happened anyway, so Lin Ye was not surprised.

"Good, good, good!"

Flender was overjoyed at the news.

"You really haven't let me down, Oscar."

Oscar scratched his head sheepishly, then stole a glance at Ning Rongrong.

But...

He had thought his breakthrough would draw Ning Rongrong's attention, but after glancing at him, she simply looked away. The joy of his breakthrough instantly faded.

"All right, get in line. We'll begin our second lesson now."

Flender beckoned Oscar into line, then continued, "Today's lesson is very simple. Everyone except Oscar must eat one of the sausages he makes."

At Flender's words, the expressions of all the girls present changed.

Eat Oscar's sausages? Was he joking?

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to refuse, Lin Ye spoke first. "Dean, I don't think Rongrong and I need to, do we? My soul skill can rapidly restore soul power, and Rongrong has plenty of recovery pills. Classmate Oscar's sausages might not do much for us."

After speaking, Lin Ye took a bottle of pills out of his Storage Soul Tool.

Flender had been about to respond to Lin Ye, but when he saw the pills in his hand, his expression suddenly changed.

"Th-those are... Spirit-Recovery Pills?"

Spirit-Recovery Pills had swept across the Douluo Continent in recent years. They rapidly restored the user's soul power, with remarkably pronounced effects.

But they were expensive and only sold at auction. The starting bid for a single pill was over a thousand gold soul coins, placing them far beyond the reach of ordinary soul masters.

Flender had only ever seen these pills at an auction.

Seeing the shock that Flender could not conceal, Lin Ye chuckled inwardly.

Lin Ye had as many Spirit-Recovery Pills as he wanted. Some were even of higher quality than those sold at auction.

The reason was simple: Spirit-Recovery Pills had not originally existed on the Douluo Continent. Lin Ye had developed them several years earlier through his research into soul power.

When Lin Ye first refined these pills, both Douluos and Ning Fengzhi had been utterly awestruck.

Originally, Lin Ye had not intended to auction them off. After all, they were not easy to refine, and the required ingredients were not cheap.

But Lin Ye soon changed his mind.

After seeing the pills, Ning Fengzhi, who had a keen head for business, had thought for only a moment before offering Lin Ye a brilliant suggestion.

Ning Fengzhi suggested weakening the pills, then putting them up for auction at a high price. They would undoubtedly stir up towering waves across the continent, and Lin Ye would only need to sit back and count his money.

Those words woke Lin Ye as if from a dream. He refined a weakened version and had Ning Fengzhi take it to auction. Afterward, the pills earned him brimming pots and overflowing bowls of money, maximizing the profits from his Spirit-Recovery Pills.

"Y-you... this..."

Lin Ye feigned confusion. "Dean, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my pills?"

Flender forced himself to calm down. Though he had already placed an extremely high estimate on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth, seeing Lin Ye produce an entire bottle of Spirit-Recovery Pills made him realize he had still underestimated it.

This was a whole bottle of Spirit-Recovery Pills, each one worth a fortune. Flender had seen them before, but could only lament that he lacked the money to buy them.

Seeing Flender lose his composure, the others all looked over curiously.

Tang San glanced at the pills in Lin Ye's hand and immediately activated his Purple Demon Eye in secret.

However, just as he was about to examine them with his Purple Demon Eye, Lin Ye suddenly put the pills back into his storage soul ring.

"Dean, can you answer my question now? May we choose not to eat Classmate Oscar's sausages?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.

"Of course."

Flender nodded repeatedly. After agreeing, he immediately turned toward the others, afraid that looking even a moment longer would stir jealousy in his heart.

"Ahem. Oscar, you can make your sausages now. Everyone except Lin Ye and Ning Rongrong must eat at least one."

Oscar obeyed. After calling out "I Have a Big Sausage" several times, he produced several "tempting" sausages in succession.

"Ahahaha, the sausages are here~"

Once he had finished making the sausages, Oscar excitedly placed them on a plate and carried it over to the others.

He wanted to share his delicious sausages with them.

"Hehehe, everyone, these sausages took quite a bit of my soul power to make. They're very precious. Come have a taste?"
