Chapter 2
Lin Bai always had the image of a straight-A student in school.
He rarely came into contact with others.
Every day, other than training and studying theoretical knowledge, he had no other interests or hobbies.
He would focus all his energy on improving himself.
He did not waste any time at all.
Even so, social interaction was inevitable.
His good brother, Xu Kun, was his deskmate.
The only thing Lin Bai could say about him was that he was lecherous.
Xu Kun was the only one in the class who could read erotic books in class.
He had a lively personality and was very loyal.
Whenever he came across a secret video, he would share it with Lin Bai right away, and at the same time, he would talk about the matters between men and women.
From positions to tools for pleasure, he could talk for an entire day.
Lin Bai was not too interested.
However, as a man, after several years of getting along, he had built a good friendship with Xu Kun.
“Big Bai!”
Xu Kun greeted Lin Bai from afar with a happy face as if he had encountered something good.
Lin Bai could not stand up for the time being, so he could only wave back.
Despite that, he also used the system to take a look at his good brother’s abilities…
[Name: Xu Kun]
[Age: 18]
[Realm: Mortal Body stage 5]
[Physique: 4]
[Agility: 5]
[Vitality: 5]
[Martial skills: none]
[Talent: E]
…
‘Hmm… His talent is average and will barely pass. I don’t need to have a contract with him.’
“Haha, I knew you were here!”
Xu Kun came closer and sat down next to Lin Bai. “Big Bai, can you still move now? Shall we go to the First Academy for an exchange program?”
“You can go in?”
Lin Bai was a little surprised.
There were a total of five academies in the city.
From the first to the fifth, the academies would be ranked according to the strength of each batch of students after the major examination.
The rankings changed frequently.
In fact, the Fifth Academy, where Lin Bai was from, had been in second place before.
The facilities in the academy and the teachers were not inferior to those of the other academies.
However…
The First Academy’s name had never changed.
They had been in the lead for a hundred years.
Under such circumstances, the First Academy certainly had its pride.
Not everyone could enter and leave that place as they pleased.
Even if one were the cream of the crop in the other academies, one would still have to submit an application and wait to pass the review before one would have a chance to be observed once or twice!
Lin Bai naturally would not have the chance.
He was not outstanding to the point of being the best.
How could Xu Kun have such an opportunity too?
“You still don’t know?”
Xu Kun saw Lin Bai’s puzzled face and immediately explained, “The major examination is coming up. The First Academy is holding an open day on campus. During this period, people outside the academy can enter and leave at will. Students are also welcome to spar with each other. This is a great opportunity to learn!”
Lin Bai immediately felt uninterested.
“It’s boring.
“They say it’s open for viewing, but in fact, there are checkpoints everywhere. You can only go there to see the scenery.
“They just want to show off their style and greatness. Do you really believe that it’s for students to meet and learn from each other?
“They make it sound nice, but they’re just trying to act cool!
“It is to let the other academies know that they’re sure to win this year’s examination!”
Lin Bai was speaking the truth.
The First Academy had done this before.
He had been there too.
However, after realizing that the so-called exchange was not true, he did not continue to understand.
Despite that, Xu Kun still had a mysterious look on his face. “Trust me. Go over and take a look. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Do you have insider information?”
Lin Bai raised his eyebrow and sized him up. “No way. You’re a spoiled brat every day. Why are you suddenly so motivated? Does studying… have anything to do with you?”
“F*ck! As expected of you, Big Bai!”
Xu Kun clapped his hands. “It is said that no one knows his father better than his son. It’s up to you to understand your father! Hurry up and call me daddy! I’ll tell you if you call me that!”
“Get lost!” Lin Bai directly kicked him. ‘Entertain yourself.’
“F*ck, another sneak attack! You don’t care about martial virtue!”
Xu Kun rubbed his aching butt and gritted his teeth. “As compensation, you have to accompany me to the First Academy!”
“I’m hungry. Let’s go back for dinner!”
Lin Bai yawned and supported himself. With the support of the horizontal bar beside him, he stood up.
“Don’t!”
Xu Kun pulled him back and refused to let him go. “The First Academy only opens their doors once a year. Just come with me once.”
“Why?”
Lin Bai was also curious as to why Xu Kun was so insistent on going to the First Academy.
Xu Kun was a little embarrassed and nervous in the face of the question.
After hesitating for a while, he asked.
“Do you still remember the beautiful girl we met at the stadium of the First Academy?”
Lin Bai thought for a while. “The person you’ve been talking about for half a month?”
Xu Kun revealed a wretched smile.
“Hehe…”
“I’ve asked around. In the First Academy, girls of that level are everywhere! There are countless girls who are better looking than her!
“There’s a very famous gifted one. Not only is she extremely talented, but she’s also very good-looking!
“Her pursuers are uncountable from the First Academy to the Fifth Academy!
“Those who have seen her all want to… Ahem, ahem…”
“That…”
“Didn’t someone list the beauties of the five academies on the campus wall and even rank them?
“She’s in the top five!”
“Out of 100, she got 99! Everyone acknowledges it!”
Lin Bai could not help but smile when he heard this.
“What are you trying to say…?”
“She’s a beauty! Who wouldn’t like it? A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman!”
Xu Kun rubbed his hands, “I want to try my luck and see if I can catch a glimpse of her. It would be even better if I could say a few words to her!”
Lin Bai immediately rolled his eyes.
“I’m not going, I’m not going. I’m not going to be a bootlicker. You can go by yourself.”
Without waiting for Xu Kun’s advice, he walked out of the field.
“You…”
Xu Kun smacked his lips and felt a bit regretful.
It was a great regret in life that he could not admire pretty girls with his good brother.
‘Forget it!
‘I’ll go!
‘If I get the chance, I’ll secretly take a photo and send it to Big Bai!
‘The outcome would be the same!’
He did not hesitate any longer and left the field.
The martial arts academies were quite casual about the dismissal time and did not strictly control it.
One could leave the school after the theory course ended.
No matter how one studied, it would be fine as long as one passed the test.
After separating from Xu Kun, Lin Bai did not go anywhere else but returned home.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
There was no response.
The house was dark and quiet.
There did not seem to be anyone.
Lin Bai was not surprised. He reached out to turn on the light, but there was still no reaction.
“They didn’t pay the electricity bill again?”
Lin Bai was used to this kind of situation, so he moved forward in the dark with ease.
In the end, just as he walked past the dining room and was about to return to his room…
A ray of light suddenly lit up beside him.
What followed was the sound of very poor quality and crude equipment.
“Happy birthday to you…”
The birthday song kept on repeating.
His parents slowly pushed the dining cart out of the darkness, their expressions peaceful and loving.
There was a small gift box on the dining cart. Lin Bai did not know if there was a cake inside, but the dozen candles beside it were bigger than it.
The heartwarming scene felt a little comical to Lin Bai.
“Son! Happy birthday!”
When the cart was pushed forward, Lin Bai’s father clapped and cheered, his face full of joy. “Your mom and I have prepared a surprise for you. Come, blow out the candles first!”
Lin Bai was stunned. He took out his phone and unlocked it. He looked at the date on the home screen and said slowly and heavily, “Dad, it doesn’t seem to be my birthday today… See, we’re still a few months away.”
“…”
His parents were stunned.
