[Ding-dong! The host has been detected facing Wang Sheng's challenge. A god-tier choice quest has been triggered. Please choose from the following options!] Option one: Even a mighty dragon cannot suppress the local snake. Swallow your anger and let Wang Sheng bully you. Reward: the title "Total Trash." Option two: Fawn over the powerful and curry favor with Wang Sheng. Reward: the title "Lackey." Option three: Teach Wang Sheng a lesson through force and establish your position. Reward: Infinite Storage Space.
Cold sweat broke out on Qi Ling as he looked at the rewards for the first two options.
Never mind anything else-if I actually got those two titles, I might as well stop living and gas myself to death with my socks!
As for the Infinite Storage Space in the third option, that was definitely something good. It would let Qi Ling carry a storage space around with him and take things out whenever he needed them. It could be called an essential tool for any household! There was no reason to pass it up!
[Ding-dong! Congratulations, host, on choosing option three: teach Wang Sheng a lesson. Reward obtained: Infinite Storage Space!]
So Qi Ling gave Wang Sheng a cold glance and ignored him, choosing the best bed on his own and putting his things on it.
"Hey! You brat, how dare you ignore me!" Wang Sheng said as he walked over, beside himself with rage.
"And that bed is mine! Go sleep in another one!"
"Your bed?" Qi Ling smiled. "It's a pretty nice bed, but from now on, it's mine."
"Damn you, you little brat! You're courting death!"
As Wang Sheng spoke, he threw a punch at Qi Ling's face. Faint fluctuations of Soul Power came from his body; he had clearly drawn on the power of his Martial Soul, intending to teach Qi Ling a lesson.
But Qi Ling did not even look at Wang Sheng's fist. He merely raised his right hand casually and caught that supremely confident punch! Then Qi Ling tightened his right hand slightly, and Wang Sheng immediately began begging for mercy from the pain.
"Ah! It hurts! Ow, ow, ow! What are you doing? Let go!"
Wang Sheng even cried from the pain. He felt certain that Qi Ling had crushed his hand.
"Listen carefully, kid. I don't care what little game of house you're playing, but I only have one rule: don't mess with me," Qi Ling said, a cold gleam in his eyes.
"Otherwise, I'll make sure you die an ugly death!"
When Wang Sheng did not answer, Qi Ling applied a little more pressure and said, "Do you understand?"
"I understand! I understand!" Wang Sheng hurriedly begged for mercy. "From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven! I'll do whatever you say!"
Once Wang Sheng answered, Qi Ling did not bother with those details. He simply released him, finished arranging his bedding, and lay down on it.
Qi Ling had frightened Wang Sheng to the core, but he was a child, after all, with something of a newborn calf's fearlessness before a tiger.
Seeing Qi Ling lie down, he went over and said, "You're really amazing! Was that a Soul Skill you used when you hit me just now?"
"I don't even need my Martial Soul to beat you. Why would I use a Soul Skill?" Qi Ling said indifferently.
"You're too weak, and your physique is poor too! Train properly from now on, and there might still be hope for you."
"Yeah! All right, boss! I'll definitely train hard from now on," Wang Sheng immediately said happily.
After all, following the strong was a human instinct. Although Qi Ling had given Wang Sheng a beating, he had instead earned his respect.
"Actually, wanting to bully people isn't why I wanted to be the leader," Wang Sheng added.
"It's just that we work-study students get bullied so badly that we can't manage at all unless we stick together."
"Huddling together for warmth is something only goats do, Wang Sheng." Qi Ling looked at Wang Sheng, an indescribable meaning in his eyes. "You're a tiger, aren't you?"
Qi Ling did not know what effect his words that day would have on Wang Sheng. After all, they were merely something he had said offhandedly.
As for their effect on him right now, it was that he had gained a fiercely loyal follower from then on.
