Chapter 13 (1/2)

The Toad’s Philosophy

This was Zhou Jian’s high school life. Study, earn money, study again, and earn money again. Zhou Jian knew that no matter how much the toad improved itself, it wouldn’t change into a Prince Charming. Even if he was admitted into a prestigious university, he wouldn’t become a Heaven’s favored child. During the top university admittance a.s.sembly, the princ.i.p.al often expressed: “If you can be admitted into x.x.x university, this prove that you are the most outstanding,” or “today, you are proud because of x.x.x university. Tomorrow, x.x.x university will be proud because of you.” The aspiring students who listened to this would often be boiling with pa.s.sion. Actually, they didn’t know that the princ.i.p.al didn’t believe in his own nonsense. Because, if he was so naive to do so, he wouldn’t had been able to climb up to this position.

If a toad wanted to transform, it could only depend on its own effort. Zhou Jian would never delusion himself on gaining the attention of a beautiful wealthy girl. He knew that it’s impossible, unless he was good enough to attract their attention.

The phone continued to ring. Zhiu Jian finished reminiscing and pressed answer. “Hi.”

“Is that Zhou Jian? I am Wen Ren Hui Yin.”

He heard that clear and concise voice coming from the phone. During high school years, Wen Ren Hui Yin made several calls to ask Zhou Jian on methods to solve mathematical exercises. The start of the call was always this sentence.

Zhou Jian calmed down his fluctuating emotion. “Ha ha. you have the number. How come you’re free to call me today.”

“Em….it’s like this. I heard that recently you have some financial difficulties?”

Zhou Jian went slightly absent minded. Heard? Who did she heard it from? He’d only call four people to borrow money moments ago. Come to think about it, these four people are not that familiar with Wen Ren Hui Yin. How did it spread to her ear.

“That… who did you heard it from?”

“Sun Li.”

Sun Li? Although Zhou Jian’s relations.h.i.+p with Sun Li and Li Yun Fu in high school was not bad, he still acknowledged that Sun Li was not a decent girl. It’s just because she’s his friend that he didn’t think much about it. But how did Wen Ren Hui Yin come into contact with her.

He curiously inquired: “Are you in the same city as Sun Li?”

“No. I’m in Hong Kong. You didn’t even know which city I am in?”

Zhou Jian cursed himself silly. Of course he knew where Wen Ren Hui Yin was, and where Sun Li was. How come he spoke out without thinking. He bite the bullet and explained: “I know about it. I just momentarily forgot where Sun Li was at.”

“Haha…. alright.” Wen Ren Hui Yin laughed a bit. Also didn’t know if she bought it or not.

Zhou Jian said: ” I’m just curious how can the both of you keep in touch.”

“Oh, just a coincidence. Because of my father, I played an online game and stumbled upon her in the game.”

“What game is it?”

“《G.o.ds and Demons》.”

“Em? Such a coincidence.”

“You’re playing as well?”

“Yes. I loved to play online game so much. How can I miss it?”

“Haha. Yes. But for you, even if you played a lot of online games, your study is still so good.” Wen Ren Hui Yin was one of the few girls who could see Zhou Jian’s bright spot. The evaluations of most of the other girls on Zhou Jian were “unreliable”, “no proper job prospect”, and “pauper”.

Studied well. Is that a good point? Zhou Jian self-depreciatingly smiled.

“What’s your Tianxun number in 《G.o.ds and Demons》? Mine was ….” Wen Ren Hui Yin said her number and Zhou Jian noted it down.

“Which city are you in?” Zhou Jian asked.

“Nuwa city. And you?”

“Pangu city.”

“Pangu city? I heard that the Tianzun team, who’s the first to finish the new dungeon raid is in Pangu city. Haha, my guild will try rus.h.i.+ng to the Demon’s Nest several days later, but I’m not confident about it.”

Zhou Jian heard this and was slightly surprised for a moment. In his mind, although Wen Ren Hui Yin played online game, she wouldn’t know about these news. Moreover, she wouldn’t invest so much energy to practice until she reached the situation where she could challenge the Demon’s Nest.
