Oscar

After leaving Flander's office, the two headed straight for the dormitories.

Opening the dorm room door, Ye Chen found that the room was not large, barely ten or so square meters.

Perhaps no one had lived there for quite some time. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor and beds, and the air carried a musty smell.

"Big brother~, are we really going to live here?"

Xiao Wu looked around the room and spoke with a hint of disdain.

"..."

Looking at the state of the room, Ye Chen was speechless as well. All he could say was, this truly was Shrek Academy.

If he had been living alone, it would have been one thing. But with Xiao Wu living with him, Ye Chen felt that this shabby little room was beneath their standards.

He then opened the System Shop, intending to see whether it sold any simple houses.

But he soon discovered a new target.

Soul Guidance Villa Price: 100,000 Gold Soul Coins. PS: A lifestyle Soul Tool equipped with all kinds of Soul Guidance formations. An essential item for home and travel!

As the name implied, this thing was a portable little villa. Since Ye Chen was not short on money, he bought it without hesitation.

"Come on, Xiao Wu. We're not living in this dump anymore!"

Now that he had a little villa, how could Ye Chen possibly still care for this broken-down room?

"We're not? Then where are we sleeping tonight?"

"Hehe, come with me!"

Ye Chen immediately pulled Xiao Wu out of the wooden house. After wandering around Shrek Academy for a while, he found a suitable spot and took out the Soul Guidance Villa.

Before unfolding, the Soul Guidance Villa was merely a one-foot model. But once Soul Power was injected into it, it could automatically gather the Soul Power of heaven and earth around it, transforming into a small villa.

The various Soul Guidance formations inside could then operate using the Soul Power it gathered automatically.

Placing the Soul Guidance Villa on the ground, Ye Chen began pouring Soul Power into it.

Before long, a uniquely designed two-story villa with a white exterior appeared before them.

"Wow~, big brother, you can even make a house appear?"

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with little stars as she looked at Ye Chen.

"Of course! Other than having children, what can't your big brother do?"

"Bragger~"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes cutely.

After going inside and looking around, Ye Chen found that the villa did not take up much space, only around seventy or eighty square meters.

The first floor contained a Living Room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The second floor had two bedrooms and another bathroom.

Ye Chen discovered that the Soul Guidance formations listed in the description were not offensive or defensive formations. They were lifestyle formations for lighting, temperature control, ventilation, kitchen flames, smoke extraction, water gathering in the bathrooms, and the like.

"Mm, it's quite convenient. No wonder it costs so much."

If Ye Chen had not been so wealthy, he would never have spent one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins on it.

Though to Ye Chen, whose Own Son with a cheat supported him, one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins was nothing. He only needed to save for a few hours.

But to everyone else, it was an enormous sum. Even a three-ringed Soul Elder who could collect the Soul Master Subsidy from Spirit Hall would need to collect it for over eighty years before being able to afford it.

Afterward, Ye Chen busied himself again, adding quite a bit of furniture to their new home.

"Huh? When did a new house appear in the academy?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded from the doorway.

Hearing the movement at the door, Ye Chen, who had just finished working and was lying on the sofa, immediately looked over.

A young man appeared, dressed in simple gray clothes. He had neatly trimmed short hair, a face full of beard, and peach-blossom eyes.

Yes, he was indeed a young man. Although he had a full beard, a closer look revealed that he was definitely not very old, only a few years older than Ye Chen at most.

Oscar?

Looking at the bearded youth, Ye Chen knew that this had to be Oscar.

Soul Masters with Innate Full Soul Power were rare, and Food System Soul Masters with Innate Full Soul Power were even rarer—there were fewer examples of them than Twin Martial Souls.

At the very least, on the continent, aside from Bibi Dong and Tang San, there were clear records of other cases of Twin Martial Souls.

But there had never been any clear record of a Food System Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. Perhaps Oscar was the only one to have ever appeared! Even in the original story, the God of Food had personally delivered his divine position to Oscar.

"Who are you two?"

Oscar looked at Ye Chen and Xiao Wu inside the house, somewhat puzzled.

"We're students who just arrived at Shrek Academy today. My name is Ye Chen."

"My name is Xiao Wu. Mister, who are you? Are you one of the academy's teachers?"

Seeing Oscar's thick beard, Xiao Wu assumed that he was quite old.

"Mister? You actually called me mister?"

Oscar's expression stiffened. Although Ye Chen and Xiao Wu did indeed look younger than him, heaven knew he was only thirteen, alright? How had he somehow become an uncle?

"Uh, is there a problem?"

Xiao Wu froze for a moment, somewhat unable to understand.

"Of course there's a problem, and it's a big one! I'm only thirteen this year!"

Oscar said with a bitter smile.

"No way?! You're only thirteen?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"That's right. My name is Oscar, I'm thirteen this year, and I'm also a student of Shrek Academy. You can't just call me uncle because my facial hair is a little thick, can you?"

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't tell~"

Xiao Wu felt a little embarrassed, but was this Oscar really only thirteen? With that full beard, calling him twenty-three would still be flattering him as young!

"By the way, I clearly remember that there wasn't this building in the academy yesterday. How did it suddenly appear now?"

Oscar asked in confusion.

"This house is a Soul Tool. It wasn't newly built."

"A Soul Tool? There are even house-type Soul Tools?"

Oscar's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Chen.

"Mm, but this Soul Tool house isn't much different from an ordinary house. It's just more convenient."

"Is that so~"

Oscar raised his eyebrows.

Just then, another voice came from outside.

"Damn~, how did a new house suddenly appear in the academy? Did Headmaster Flander change his ways?"

Hearing the voice, the three people inside quickly looked over.

A tall man appeared before them. However, his originally handsome face was now covered in quite a few bruises, making it obvious that he had recently suffered a vicious beating.

It was none other than Dai Mubai, the one Ye Chen had beaten into calling him Dad the previous night.

However, since Dai Mubai had sought treatment from a healing-type Spirit Master in Suotuo City, he was no longer walking around with a swollen pig's head. Only a few bruises remained on his face.

"Boss Dai, this isn't an ordinary house. It's a Soul Tool! Uh, Boss Dai, what happened to your face?"

Oscar, who had arrived earlier, had been about to explain it to Dai Mubai when he noticed the lingering injuries on Dai Mubai's face.
