Lin Baici seriously considered for a moment before replying to Little Merperson.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: There is, but the mortality rate for this job is very high, it’s better to be a streamer and stay safe.

If Hua Yue Yu were just an ordinary college student and her streaming career wasn’t going well, not making enough money, then it might be better to become a God Hunter for a potentially life-changing gamble.

But Hua Yue Yu’s life currently is quite comfortable, so there’s no need to take risks.

Little Merperson: Dad, give me some advice!

After sending the message, Hua Yue Yu added a kowtowing emoji.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: By acquiring a thread of Divine Grace, one can become a God Hunter, but it’s incredibly difficult to obtain.

Even if you have a lot of money, you probably can’t buy it, so the only option is to go into God’s Ruins and find it yourself.

Little Merperson: Dad, next time you enter God’s Ruins, please must take me with you!

Little Merperson: I’ll kowtow to you again.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: It’s too dangerous, and I haven’t decided when I’ll enter God’s Ruins again.

Lin Baici estimated that after he became a member of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, it should be soon.

Hua Yue Yu came back, sat next to Lin Baici, and picked up her glass, “Come on, Lin Bai, Wenwu, let’s toast to Manager Fan’s downfall.

Bottoms up!”

Hu Wenwu quickly raised his glass.

He hadn’t drunk at home before, so he wasn’t accustomed to such gatherings.

Bang!

The three of them clinked glasses.

Lin Baici took a few sips and reminded Hua Yue Yu, “All the things I told you are circle-inside secrets that are forbidden to be leaked.

Don’t tell anyone else!”

“Mhm, got it!”

Hua Yue Yu quickly nodded.

Sure enough, getting to know a God Hunter means knowing much more.

Let’s see who dares to brag about having insider information in front of me from now on.

Speaking of which,

do you know a God Hunter?

The BBQ seasoning was liberally applied, and the flavor was strong.

Hua Yue Yu didn’t eat much to maintain her figure, while Lin Baici didn’t mind.

“Wenwu, we’re all friends here, don’t be shy.

Eat and drink to your heart’s content.”

Hua Yue Yu ordered a barbecued lamb leg weighing over six pounds, a hearty portion: “Eat up.

If we leave any, it’ll go to waste!”

Hu Wenwu wanted to say the leftovers could be eaten tomorrow, but then he thought with such hot weather, the lamb would probably go bad by then.

The owner pulled over an extension cord, moving the shop’s fan closer: “Need more drinks?”

Hua Yue Yu looked at Lin Baici, waiting for his decision.

“First day of college, let’s drink less!”

Lin Baici declined. freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Alright!”

Even though he didn’t get to sell the high-profit drinks, the owner wasn’t disappointed, since the dishes ordered by Lin Baici’s table had already totaled to over a thousand yuan.

Otherwise, why would he bother bringing a fan over to their table?

“Boss, have you got another fan?

We’re hot here too!”

A short-haired young man called out.

“Sorry, we’ve got only one!” the owner replied with an apologetic grin.

“I’ll buy a few more in the next couple of days, so you’ll also have one to use!”

Since the owner said so, the young man had no other choice.

After the owner left to attend to other things, the short-haired young man grumbled, “This boss is such an old miser.

We’re all guys at this table.

If there were a few girls, we’d definitely get a fan!”

The short-haired young man thought Lin Baici’s table had snagged the fan entirely because Hua Yue Yu was beautiful.

Who would have thought such a beautiful girl would eat barbecue by the roadside?

Don’t they usually go to those fancy, up-scale restaurants?

“Forget it, do you know how much that roast leg of lamb costs?

At least a thousand yuan, as much as what our five tables ordered.”

The short-haired young man’s companion, his fellow countryman and a senior in his third year with more social experience explained, “That’s a big order.

If the owner serves them well and they become repeat customers, just one visit with an order for a lamb leg will mean a big profit!”

“I see!”

The short-haired young man suddenly understood.

He was a freshman and felt that he was learning something new.

“A…

a thousand yuan?”

Hu Wenwu’s mouth, which was chewing lamb meat, froze.

He knew this meal wouldn’t be cheap, but he hadn’t expected it to be this expensive.

“Eat your fill, try not to leave any leftovers!”

Hua Yue Yu poured wine for Lin Baici and Hu Wenwu.

She was as docile as the girl next door.

The three of them ate for an hour and a half, finally finishing off the whole lamb leg.

It was getting late, but the entire city was brightly lit, bustling with noise.

The night economy was just beginning.

“Are you both full?” Hua Yue Yu looked at the two nodding heads and took out her phone, calling the owner, “Boss, the check, please!”

“The total comes to 1,267.7 yuan.

I’ll round down the change, just give me 1,267!”

The owner handed over a payment QR code, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

This girl is paying the bill?

Usually when boys and girls come here to eat, the boys pay.

Seeing a girl pay, especially for such an expensive meal, happens no more than three times a month.

Hua Yue Yu scanned the code and paid.

Alipay received a transfer of 1,267 yuan.

“Take care on your way out!”

The owner took a glance at Lin Baici and clicked his tongue in amazement.

He couldn’t be living off his girlfriend, could he?

As for Hu Wenwu?

Sorry, he’s too ugly, clearly a freeloader.

“Holy shit!”

The dumbstruck junior couldn’t believe his eyes, was that a freshman?

Having dinner with such a pretty girl and she’s paying for it?

Respect!

…

“Just grab something casual for today.

Once the military training is over and your college life gets on track, we can party with wine and dine!”

Hua Yue Yu scheduled the plan, “I’ve already asked a few female broadcasters I’m on good terms with.

They are super hot and have sweet voices.

They’ll make sure you’re not coming back sober!”

“Don’t waste the favor, I’m not into female broadcasters!”

Lin Baici didn’t like watching live streams, mainly due to lack of time.

Plus, inviting those female broadcasters would likely cost Hua Yue Yu some face, and she wouldn’t be able to refuse attending get-togethers she didn’t like next time.

“Don’t worry, they’re all friends!”

The gatherings Hua Yue Yu planned wouldn’t be awkward for anyone.

“What time are you heading back?” It was getting late, and Lin Baici was worried that it’d be dangerous for Hua Yue Yu to go back too late.

“Do you want me to walk you back?”

The Little Merperson was an understanding and nice girl.

She actually wanted to stroll the campus with Lin Baici at night, but now that he said this, she gave up on the idea.

“I’ll head back now, you don’t have to walk me.”

Hua Yue Yu smiled, “It’s your first day registering, so you should also get used to the new environment and have a chat with your new roommates to bond.

I won’t disturb you any longer!”

“You’ve had some drinks, are you sure you’ll be alright?”

Lin Baici wanted to hear Eater God’s commentary on Hua Yue Yu’s current state, but Eater God remained silent.

“I only had one bottle, oh come on, don’t worry about me.

Go back to your dorm.

A taxi ride to Haijing University will take at most forty minutes!”

Hua Yue Yu suddenly started running towards the distance, stopped after about a dozen meters, and waved to Lin Baici: “I’m off, we’ll keep in touch through WeChat!”

Little Merperson arrived dressed up and left as if she was the carefree Cinderella who vanished from the King’s ball before midnight.

Once Hua Yue Yu’s figure disappeared from view, Lin Baici gazed at the male dormitory number 2 shrouded in the night: “Let’s go, back to the dorm!”

…

Dormitory 902.

Fang Mingyuan went to check out the basketball gym.

It was small, with average equipment, and except for the school team, it wasn’t open for regular students.

That was quite annoying!

However, the playground of Haijing Polytechnic was very spacious.

Apart from a soccer field, there were ten basketball courts with plastic flooring.

The problem was, it was too crowded.

After playing basketball for more than an hour and breaking a sweat, Fang Mingyuan ate a big bowl of ramen in the cafeteria, returned to his dorm, grabbed his washbasin, towel, and shower gel, and went to the communal bathroom on the ninth floor to take a shower.

The communal bathroom had a row of faucets and shower stalls, but no hot water.

Yet, with all the young guys, full of vigor, cold showers were no big deal.

After his shower, Fang Mingyuan returned to his room, plugged in his wireless earphones, picked up his phone, opened the Bilibili app, and went to his favorites to find a chanting video.

He hit play.

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva,

While practicing the profound Prajnaparamita,

Perceived that all five skandhas are empty,

And passed beyond all suffering.

…

The Sanskrit chanting was something Fang Mingyuan didn’t understand, but the singer’s voice was melodious and resonant, transporting him as if he were at the foot of Hanshan Temple, clad in the afterglow of fishermen’s fires at dusk, listening to the evening chants echoing from the temple, ascending steps of green flagstones toward the mountain gate.

On this first day of registration, Fang Mingyuan felt restless, tense, but also expectant and excited.

At this moment though, all those feelings vanished.

His heartbeat slowed, and he felt as still as the surface of a polished mirror.

Fang Mingyuan cherished this state.

Ever since a high school friend recommended this video to him, he couldn’t get enough of it; it became his lifeline.

As a student with sports as his specialty, Fang Mingyuan often needed to quickly adjust his mindset to get into the game.

But mental state isn’t something you can just adjust on a whim, especially during assessments that could affect his future.

It was impossible not to feel nervous.

However, ever since he stumbled upon this chanting video, he found himself calming down instantly, achieving a state of mental clarity every time he listened.

That was kind of awesome.

After half a month, Fang Mingyuan had formed a habit of listening to this chanting frequently.

After each session, he naturally calmed down, allowing him to have a deeper understanding and reflection on the day’s training or basketball games.

After finishing the video, Fang Mingyuan replayed it and opened his private messages.

He sent a private message to Lin Da Hungry Man, the uploader of the video, asking for a high-quality MP3 version for convenience.

But eight days later, there was still no reply.

And this time, there was no news either.

Fang Mingyuan felt disappointed and scrolled through the comments section.

“Holy shit, what kind of godly video is this?

After listening to the chanting, I felt desireless and on the verge of enlightenment!”

“I listened to this video for three days and broke up with my girlfriend.

My mental state’s amazing now; I don’t suffer from insomnia or restless sleep anymore—so comfortable!”

“I’ve found this thing to be a cure-all for addiction.

After listening, I just didn’t feel it anymore!”

“Exactly, I got scared the first time I listened.

It made me think I had some sort of dysfunction.”

“I bow to you, please release an MP3 version!”

With over thirty thousand comments, most people were amazed by the miraculous effect of the chanting, and the rest were pleading for the MP3 version.

A premium member named ‘Sun Wukong Lost His Ruyi Jingu Bang’ transcribed the video into an audio format and uploaded it to Baidu Cloud, sharing the link in the comments for others to download.

There were more than a thousand replies under this comment.

After posting another comment asking for the MP3, Fang Mingyuan clicked on Lin Da Hungry Man’s ID, went to his profile page, and then to the option to ‘Charge Up’ for him.

A page to select the amount to charge appeared.

Fang Mingyuan chose to customize the amount, input 100 yuan, and proceeded to pay by scanning the QR code.

Bang!

The door to the dorm suddenly burst open with a loud force, startling Fang Mingyuan.
