The rich lady was at Xinghai University?
Zhou Fan: "It's not like I can go just because I want to. Xinghai University has to accept me first."
Xia Qingran: "As long as you put it down on your application, you'll definitely get in."
Zhou Fan: "Seriously? You're that confident?"
Xia Qingran: "Seriously. As long as you apply to Xinghai University, I guarantee you'll be admitted."
Whoa.
It looked like this rich lady held a pretty high position at Xinghai University.
If she could guarantee his admission... she had to be at least a department director.
But considering how lavishly she spent, even a director might not fit the bill. She was probably a vice president, or even the university president!
Someone who made it to university president had to be at least in her forties or fifties, right?
Having a rich older woman who still had her charms set her sights on him was a little stressful.
"Got it. Once my college entrance exam results come out, I'll apply to Xinghai University right away." For now, Zhou Fan could only go along with what the rich lady said.
As for whether he would actually apply to Xinghai University, he hadn't decided yet.
The college entrance exam was still so far away. He hadn't planned that far ahead.
Xia Qingran: "All right. I'll be waiting for you at Xinghai University."
With that, they ended their chat.
Zhou Fan immediately felt quite a bit of pressure.
Objectively speaking, this rich lady had helped him a lot.
Her gifts of over a dozen Carnivals had directly or indirectly brought tens of thousands of viewers to Zhou Fan's livestream.
Over the course of today's stream, Zhou Fan had earned over ten thousand emotion points.
Half of those emotion points were thanks to this rich lady.
But now, she had clearly set her sights on Zhou Fan.
Having a rich lady take an interest in him was a good thing.
One of Zhou Fan's dreams was to have a rich woman support him someday, so he wouldn't have to work hard anymore.
But being kept by a rich woman came with certain risks.
For instance, she might have some peculiar preferences he would have to put up with. If he couldn't stand them, he wouldn't get to enjoy the perks.
"Xinghai University... there's actually nothing wrong with the school itself."
Xinghai University was the best superpower university in the Southern District, as well as one of the nation's four top universities.
If possible, Zhou Fan genuinely wouldn't mind applying to Xinghai University.
"There's still some time before the college entrance exam. I should focus on grinding monsters and leveling up for now, and try to reach second tier, one star first."
Today's livestream had earned Zhou Fan a huge haul of emotion points-over ten thousand.
But those were only the earnings from the stream itself.
Some people had recorded his livestream or posted clips on other video platforms.
Only a small fraction of people could actually watch the stream live.
Livestream clips, on the other hand, had a chance to reach a much larger audience.
As long as people watched, they could generate emotion points-because Zhou Fan's livestream today had been absolutely mind-blowing!
He had successfully hunted thirty mutant beasts in a row during his livestream challenge!
And they hadn't been ordinary mutant beasts.
Zhou Fan was at first tier, five stars, and every mutant beast he had challenged on stream was at first tier, four or five stars!
A challenge like that was seriously impressive.
Although first tier, five stars wasn't a particularly high level in itself.
Most proper Espers were stronger than first tier, five stars by now.
But they had all worked their way up step by step. They had once been first-tier Espers too.
So they all knew just how outrageous Zhou Fan's challenge was.
As all those recordings and clips played, Zhou Fan continued to earn emotion points nonstop.
By the time Zhou Fan got home, his total emotion points for the day had already passed twenty thousand.
Twenty thousand emotion points in a single day!
This was the most Zhou Fan had ever earned in one day!
What a rush!
Lin Qianqian had also spent the day grinding monsters in the wilderness.
She had already mastered the Paper Explosion Technique, further improving her strength.
"One day. It only took me one day to master the Paper Explosion Technique!"
"Anyone else would need at least two or three days to master a new skill."
"This is the talent that comes with an S-rank superpower!" Lin Qianqian was brimming with confidence.
Espers couldn't master every skill of their awakened innate superpower right from the start.
Instead, they gradually unlocked other, stronger skills as their level increased.
After awakening a new skill, most people needed quite a bit of time to master it.
Two or three days at the fastest, a week or two at the slowest.
Yet Lin Qianqian had mastered her new skill in just one day!
This was proof of the strength her S-rank talent gave her!
"With my current strength, I'll definitely win the comparison in two days!"
Their first comparison was the day after tomorrow.
Although she was a little nervous.
Lin Qianqian was still very confident.
"I wonder what that guy's been doing these past couple of days. Has he streamed lately?"
Lin Qianqian picked up her phone.
She had just opened the video platform and was about to search for Zhou Fan.
But the system immediately recommended a video about him-Zhou Fan successfully takes down thirty mutant beasts in his livestream challenge. Awesome!
Since Lin Qianqian had watched clips of Zhou Fan's livestream before, the system recommended related content to her.
Lin Qianqian frowned at the video's title.
"What has this guy done now?"
She opened the video.
It was a livestream recording, and it was long.
Lin Qianqian played it at increased speed.
The footage was chaotic, and many of the fights were hard to make out.
After all, Zhou Fan had worn his phone around his neck while livestreaming.
It was bound to move around during combat.
But that very authenticity drew viewers in and made them feel deeply immersed.
Although the footage was a mess.
Lin Qianqian still watched the entire video.
Then she reached a conclusion-Zhou Fan really had livestreamed his entire challenge and killed thirty mutant beasts!
Thirty!
"His strength has improved this quickly too? He's definitely no pushover."
"But this time, I'm stronger than him!"
Just today, Lin Qianqian had also achieved
a new milestone-killing thirty-five mutant beasts in a row in a single day!
And they had all been first-tier, four-star or five-star mutant beasts!
Zhou Fan's successful livestream hunting challenge last time had spurred her on, so she had tried doing the same.
After all, Zhou Fan was the person she was competing against.
Even if she believed she was definitely stronger than Zhou Fan, she still needed to compare their results.
And the result was clear.
She really was better than Zhou Fan!
Zhou Fan had only challenged thirty mutant beasts in a row.
That was indeed a huge improvement over before.
But she had challenged thirty-five mutant beasts in a row!
This was her true strength as an S-rank Esper!
How could Zhou Fan possibly compete with her?
"Zhou Fan, I admit you're strong."
"But I have an S-rank superpower. That's why you'll lose to me."
"Losing to me is an honor for you, too."
Lin Qianqian was in a wonderful mood.
Sure enough, once her mighty system started working its magic, her cultivation speed had soared, and she had grown stronger too.
She would definitely win the comparison the day after tomorrow!
