Chapter 4 Lin Xiaotu?
Before long, Lin Chen had made steaming cups of milk tea. At first, only a few scattered customers came to buy a few cups to try, because milk tea didn't exist in Douluo Continent. But the moment the milk tea entered their mouths, they were all stunned.
"Give me one cup!"
"I want ten cups!"
Watching the people on the street scrambling in front of his stall, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little smug. "Hmph, let you experience the dimensional reduction attack from Earth."
But on the surface, he still said, "Don't rush, take your time, everyone gets one. Seven copper soul coins a cup!"
Ha, things from Earth are indeed popular in fantasy worlds. Lin Chen didn't need to offer free samples to attract customers like Huo Yuhao did before selling the grilled fish. While
Lin Chen's milk tea was selling like hotcakes, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao also pushed their grilled fish cart over.
From afar, Huo Yuhao saw a group of people surrounding a stall. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his classmates.
"Lin Chen, what are you doing here?" Huo Yuhao walked up and asked.
"Aren't you here too, class monitor?" Lin Chen asked back.
"Uh... are you here to sell things too?"
Lin Chen nodded and continued making milk tea. There were still many people standing in front of his stall, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, Tang Ya pushed Huo Yuhao's grilled fish cart next to Lin Chen's stall and asked Huo Yuhao, "Little Yuhao, do you two know each other?"
"Yes, he's my classmate, and his dormitory is next to mine," Huo Yuhao replied. After saying that, he briefly introduced Lin Chen to Tang Ya and then started grilling fish.
Gradually, many people gathered in front of the two Shrek freshmen's stalls, and Lin Chen also saw Jiang Nannan, who was known as the "most beautiful girl in the outer academy."
Jiang Nannan slowly walked towards Lin Chen's stall, causing Lin Chen to scream in his heart, "Don't come any closer!" If something really happened, he didn't have the strength to fight with Xu Sanshi, the sycophant.
Despite her inner turmoil, Jiang Nannan still lined up at Lin Chen's stall.
Soon it was Jiang Nannan's turn. She asked Lin Chen, "Junior, how much is your milk tea?"
"Seven copper soul coins," Lin Chen replied expressionlessly. At times like this, Lin Chen only cared about money.
After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Nannan slowly took out seven copper soul coins and handed them to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen then handed her the freshly made milk tea.
Jiang Nannan took a small sip, her initial confusion gradually replaced by delight. She had wondered why such a small cup cost seven copper soul coins, but now it seemed worth every penny. Looking back at Lin Chen's stall, she asked, "When will you come back to sell your milk tea?"
Lin Chen, busy selling his milk tea, casually replied, "When I'm short of money."
Glancing at the busy young man, Jiang Nannan didn't linger and headed towards Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall.
Immediately afterward, Lin Chen witnessed the scene from the original story where Xu, the sycophant, wanted to teach Huo Yuhao a lesson for Jiang Nannan, and then Bei Bei arrived.
It wasn't that Lin Chen insisted on watching, but the people queuing in front of his stall had already been scared away, and he had nothing else to do, so he might as well quietly be a bystander.
"Xu Sanshi, you bullied my junior brother! You have to give me an explanation for what happened today, or else we'll settle this in the Soul Arena!"
After that, the two of them went to the Soul Arena.
Huo Yuhao was also pulled away by Tang Ya.
Before leaving, Lin Chen handed Huo Yuhao a cup of milk tea, saying, "Class monitor, this is for you. It's really cool to watch the match while drinking milk tea."
"Thank you."
'You're welcome. I'll give you a cup of milk tea, and you can give me that piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue you found. That's great.'
After Huo Yuhao left, Lin Chen also packed up his stall and rode his soul guide bicycle towards the Treasure Pavilion.
After finding a place to park his bicycle near the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Chen went straight into the Treasure Pavilion.
"Ten-thousand-year whale glue, ten-thousand-year whale glue!" Walking on the road, Lin Chen excitedly rubbed his hands together.
Revealing his aura as a Great Soul Master, Lin Chen entered the Treasure Pavilion. A scantily clad young woman approached him and asked, "Hello, esteemed Soul Master, what would you like to buy?"
"Do you have any rare and precious herbs that can enhance one's physique?"
"Yes, we have Qi-Nourishing Pills, Thousand-Year-Old Ganoderma Lucidum, Hundred-Year-Old Snow Lotus, Thousand-Year-Old Whale Glue..." the young woman introduced the items to Lin Chen.
"Take me to see them," Lin Chen said.
The young woman led Lin Chen to the area selling rare and precious herbs.
"Soul Master, this is Deep-Sea Dolphin Marrow. It comes from a type of dolphin-like sea soul beast..." the young woman introduced the items to Lin Chen one by one.
After walking for ten minutes, Lin Chen finally saw the "spoiled millennium whale glue."
"Soul Master, this is millennium whale glue, a special substance produced in the brain of a soul beast whale. It's very effective in improving physical constitution. However, it's black. According to our appraiser, this millennium whale glue is somewhat spoiled, but its price is very reasonable, definitely excellent value for money," the girl explained to Lin Chen.
"Hmm, I'll take this one," Lin Chen said calmly, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
"Okay, Soul Master." The girl then took the item and went to the counter to pay.
'I've made a fortune! I've hit the jackpot!' Lin Chen cheered inwardly.
"Soul Master, the price of this whale glue is six thousand gold soul coins,"
Lin Chen handed over his card.
Leaving the Treasure Pavilion with a happy mood, Lin Chen rode his soul-guided bicycle, humming a song as he returned to his dormitory.
Back in his dormitory, Lin Chen immediately smelled an extremely unpleasant odor. Without even thinking, Lin Chen knew that it was Huo Yuhao cheating again.
Back in his dorm, seeing Zhou Mingxing already unconscious from the stench, Lin Chen circulated his soul power, creating a gust of wind to blow the smell out of the dorm, then immediately closed all the doors and windows tightly.
After doing all this, Lin Chen climbed into his bed and lay down to sleep.
Constantly substituting cultivation for sleep wasn't a good thing, after all, cultivation couldn't truly replace sleep.
A balance between work and rest was still very important. Of course, this idea was already deeply ingrained in Lin Chen's mind back on Earth.
Therefore, Lin Chen's rule for himself was to cultivate from Sunday to Thursday nights and sleep on Friday and Saturday nights. Hmm, very much in line with the schedule of Earthlings.
The boy on the bed quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Lin Chen woke up early.
After a refreshing shower, he went to class.
That evening, while Lin Chen was selling his milk tea, he suddenly heard a little girl's voice: "Xiao Tu, you're selling delicious food here so late at night without telling us, that's really not very loyal."
Without thinking, Lin Chen knew it was the eccentric Xiao Xiao. But perhaps, he himself was quite eccentric?
"Little Earth?" Lin Chen asked, looking puzzled.
"Lin Chen, Lin Chen, if you break down the character 'Chen,' it becomes 'Little Earth,' right? I've decided that Xiao Lei and I will call you that from now on!"
"You're amazing, kid." Lin Chen gave Xiao Xiao a thumbs up.
"Don't try to change the subject. You haven't told us you're selling delicious food without telling us." Xiao Xiao pouted.
Lin Xiao Lei facepalmed. Her best friend was just too awesome.
"How could I let you two young ladies condescend to come here? It's only my second day. I wanted to get to know you better before I went to welcome you." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's more like it. But tonight you have to buy me ten cups of milk tea." Xiao Xiao said.
"Alright, Miss."
Suddenly, Lin Chen saw Zhou Mingxing hiding behind Lin Xiaolei and said with some surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Xiaolei said, "Mingxing asked us to come find you. He noticed you came back to the dormitory very late last night and was a little worried."
Zhou Mingxing nodded weakly.
Lin Chen smiled, then took out three cups of milk tea and handed them to Xiao Xiao, Zhou Mingxing, and Lin Xiaolei respectively.
"Ha, this milk tea is really delicious. Xiao Tu, I didn't expect you to have some skills." Xiao Xiao said while drinking her milk tea.
"That's right." Lin Chen was a little proud.
He attended classes during the day, went out to earn money at night, and spent his free time in the library. Lin Chen lived each day to the fullest.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen raised his soul power to the peak of level 25.
Classroom 1...
"Three control system users?! Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, are you three doing this on purpose?" Zhou Yi said angrily.
