"Are you Zhang Xuezhou?"

As advanced students, most of them consciously eat on the side, acting as invisible figures in the dining center.

Zhang Xuezhou was no exception; he always found a corner to eat in.

Apart from Ren Yisheng and others, Zhang Xuezhou rarely encountered any professors or lecturers coming to share a table at the dining center.

Even fewer people are familiar with his name.

As the voice inquired, Zhang Xuezhou raised his face, which was not particularly radiant at the moment.

The woman before me was impeccably dressed; her simple white shirt and black trousers gave her a refreshing look, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on her straight nose, making her appear intellectual and refined.

The other person looked extremely young, like a college student.

However, the name tag on the other person's shirt clearly proved that they were a lecturer.

At the Canglan Academy, apart from the administrative staff who maintain order, the most important groups are only professors, associate professors, lecturers, and honorary lecturers.

Ren Wuyang is an honorary lecturer among them, but to have the ability to teach at the Canglan Academy year-round, the other party is at least stronger than Ren Wuyang.

"A top performer among the core members of Western Capital!"

Zhang Xuezhou identified the woman with just one glance.

But after he raised his head and answered "yes," he lowered it again and continued chewing his food listlessly.

Having gone nearly a week without food and relying solely on intravenous nutrition to maintain his bodily functions, Zhang Xuezhou's food intake was clearly quite large at this point.

He listlessly gnawed on the guinea fowl, which slightly surprised the woman.

She didn't mind Zhang Xuezhou's coldness; she simply observed him closely.

"Heartbroken? Has someone really died?"

Zhang Xuezhou's grief was not feigned; it stemmed from a clear lack of energy and spirit in his entire being.

Even a normal person could see Zhang Xuezhou's frustration, but a master of the sequence could judge just how deep that frustration was.

She glanced at Zhang Weimeng, who was trying to distract Zhang Xuezhou by talking about other things, and felt that his method was completely useless.

For people like Zhang Xuezhou who are feeling down, a good night's sleep can actually be more effective.

In this state, Zhang Xuezhou obviously couldn't possibly talk about or discuss anything related to this topic.

"My name is Zhou Yueyan. I specialize in genetics research and also have some advanced blood preparation skills. If Zhang Xuezhou ever needs any blood preparations in the future, please feel free to contact me. I guarantee reasonable prices!"

The woman took a business card out of her pocket and then slid it to Zhang Xuezhou's plate.

She didn't dwell on it. Seeing Zhang Xuezhou's gaze sweep over the business card, she immediately stood up.

When a slightly hostile gaze swept over her, Zhou Yueyan nodded slightly, her gaze also sweeping over Ren Anran, who was rushing towards the entrance of the dining center.

"Little sister, keep up the good work!"

Seeing Ren Anran's gaze, Zhou Yueyan mouthed the words before slowly strolling back to her seat.

"Don't associate with that woman, she's incredibly ruthless!"

The ability gained from Chapter 5 of the Mental Strengthening Chapter gave Ren Anran extremely keen perception. The moment Zhou Yueyan stopped spying, Ren Anran had a vague sense of it.

Once she stepped onto the second floor of the dining center, she was even more certain.

Ren Anran glanced at Zhou Yueyan, who was smiling faintly, and quickly returned to Zhang Xuezhou's side.

Thinking of Zhou Yueyan's abilities, Ren Anran felt that as the Ren Household took over a portion of the shares of Jishi Group, more people were paying attention to them.

What would normally be a normal conversation was clearly inappropriate in the moment.

She felt a slight unease in her heart, sensing that Zhou Yueyan might know something related to the matter.

"Belch!"

The sound of swallowing the guinea fowl served as a response to Ren Anran.

Zhang Xuezhou chewed on the guinea fowl; only a full stomach could give him a sense of peace.

"Don't eat so much guinea fowl! Eating too much of this kind of chicken at once can make you feel nauseous!"

As Ren Anran's voice of persuasion came, Zhang Xuezhou felt a wave of disgust wash over him, and the delicious guinea fowl he was eating suddenly tasted strange.

He frowned slightly, but did not stop eating.

"I have a genetically modified breed that's even better than the guinea fowl, cluck cluck cluck!"

Zhou Yueyan's voice, which came from more than ten meters away, was accompanied by a silvery laugh.

"Laughing like a hen!"

Ren Anran muttered something under her breath.

Zhou Yueyan was older than both Ren Wuyang and Ren Wuyang, but younger than Ren Yisheng and others.

According to their past relationship in Western Capital, Ren Anran should have called Zhou Yueyan "sister," but Ren Anran remembered Zhou Yueyan's face, which hadn't changed in over twenty years.

When the Ren Household was being divided up, the other party represented the Zhou family at the negotiating table.

Consequently, she lacked affection for Zhou Yueyan.

"I don't like Zhou Yueyan, but I don't feel any hatred towards her either. It's a really strange emotion!"

Ren Anran felt a strange surge of hostility towards Zhou Yueyan.

She muttered a phrase to herself, and seeing that Zhang Xuezhou did not reply to Zhou Yueyan, she suppressed this abnormal emotion.

"Three more rounds, please!"

When Zhang Xuezhou went to Xu Meili's window to ask for food, Ren Anran opened her mouth, but then swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

She could sense the emotions that Zhou Yueyan could perceive, and she could feel them even more.

However, Zhang Xuezhou's Mental Strengthening ability is not weak, Ren Anran finds it difficult to comfort Zhang Xuezhou. If she wants to soothe Zhang Xuezhou's emotions, it is very likely that only Ren Yisheng can help.

This is similar to the reason why she finds it difficult to perfectly withstand any Realm Entry of mental stimulation Ren Yisheng.

"Mental Strengthening, a New Realm!"

She silently pondered the various related matters, immersing herself in the various possible deductions.

"I... Oh, classmate, guinea fowl shouldn't be fed in excess!"

When a muffled groan was heard, Ren Anran raised her head.

She looked at the somewhat pale yet familiar man in front of her and couldn't help but gasp as she tried to persuade him.

"Oh no, I just spent too much time deducing things and I seem to have forgotten some things. What's this person's name?"

The moment the word "classmate" left her lips, Ren Anran felt as if her mind was almost beyond saving.

But Ren Anran's sudden relapse into forgetfulness actually boosted Zhang Xuezhou's morale considerably.

Having Ren Wuyang self-castration of abnormal individuals like Ren Wuyang and the recurring forgetfulness of Ren Anran, Zhang Xuezhou finally found peace.

Everyone obviously faces their own difficulties. Although his situation was a little more complicated than that of the average person, that is not a reason for him to become despondent and fall into despair.

As long as he still has a body, he is not completely dead.

Zhang Xuezhou took a deep breath, waiting to verify it in a few days.

If his other body dies, he will focus on developing his real-world self.

This sacrifice would undoubtedly be significant, but he couldn't possibly remain immersed in the regret of his loss forever.

He even had to rely on limited resources to break free from the control of the extraterrestrial demons.

"It's good that that world has been severed, then I can focus on this..."

As Zhang Xuezhou's thoughts shifted, he felt as if the food that had slid down into his stomach was being powerfully absorbed, and the greasy feeling in his mouth quickly subsided.

In a daze, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if his body had become a little lighter.

Guinea fowl were an ingredient that Zhang Xuezhou sensed was extremely suitable for him to eat through the influence of his Demon Power.

Although Zhang Xuezhou didn't figure out exactly what part of his body eating guinea fowl changed, he continued the habit of eating guinea fowl.

At present, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the amount of food he ate this time was far greater than usual, which may have produced a stronger stimulus.

He swayed his arm slightly, and a feeling as if he were wearing a celestial garment instantly washed over him.

"Am I going to fly?"

Zhang Xuezhou had a sudden thought and felt he couldn't sit still any longer.
