Chapter 299: Cherish Everyone! (2/2)

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei was dumbfounded. Although everything was very lively outside, he knew nothing of it. He had spent the entire afternoon sparring with Wu Chi to help him familiarize with his puppets.

“Sister Liuyun, what do you mean?” asked Bai Xiaofei weakly, thinking he might have caused some disaster.

“You don’t know?” Yun Sheng cut in with disbelief on his face.

“What should I… know?” His dumbfounded state soaring to the next level, Bai Xiaofei innocently blinked. At the same time, he began to rummage through his memory if he had done anything that shouldn't be done and brought trouble to the Demon of Illusions!

However, Yun Sheng the machine mouth didn’t let Bai Xiaofei continue to rack his brains. In a short span of a minute, he explained the entire situation. It was fortunate that Bai Xiaofei had a good head on his shoulders, or else he might not understand Yun Sheng.

“This is a good thing!” Bai Xiaofei then laughed happily. Who wouldn’t want to be more famous?

“It is indeed a good thing now, but have you considered the consequences?” said Chu Liuyun coldly, ready to pour cold water.

“Later? What do you mean?” puzzled again, Bai Xiaofei asked softly.

“How many freshmen were there before the allocation? How many freshmen are there now? How many second-year students are there? Don't you notice that the number of students decreases year by year? You are still standing steadily because the base number of freshmen is still large enough, but once the first year is over, the advantages of your New Student Mutual Aid Community will certainly disappear, and that’s when your good days come to an end,” coldly stating the reality, Chu Liuyun expressed her worries.

Bai Xiaofei had indeed heard of this.

“If you’re talking about how many people will drop out because they can’t afford to stay in Starnet or because of other circumstances, then you can rest assured!” With a smile, Bai Xiaofei said confidently, “I will provide aid to all freshmen who don’t have enough living expenses. As long as they tell me, I will solve it as fast as possible. Ling Luo's situation will never repeat itself!”

Bai Xiaofei's expression was serious. He didn’t say those words with a light heart. And those thoughts hadn’t only just come to mind. Students of Starnet were all outstanding among their peers. It was always a pity to lose them, so he had long decided to do something for the academy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so interested in making money.

In fact, one thing he had said before was true: Money meant little to him. What he really enjoyed was the pleasure of fighting opponents intelligently and the smiles he brought to others’ faces when spending money on them.

Bai Xiaofei wasn’t a person with great kindness. He was only an ordinary child, eager to connect with others.

The life of ten-odd years in the Gorge of Heroes had been very interesting, but it had been also very lonely as he was the only child in the entire place. The feeling of having no playmates was something most children outside didn’t get to experience.

Therefore, Bai Xiaofei knew what it meant to cherish everyone!

Of course, if they didn’t cherish him back, he wouldn’t care. What he wanted to experience was the process. That was what it meant about playing – one’s happiness was always the most important thing!
