#411 - Chapter 410 Do You Know the New World?
"What is this, school rules?"
"Littering, fine of two thousand star points… Wait! A fine?"
"Fighting incurs a fine of five thousand star points, what is all this? Why are there fines?"
"Are they crazy for star points? Star points can't be transferred, they can only be used for purchases. How can they fine us?"
Li Chenqiu wasn't surprised by everyone's reaction and pointed to the screen behind him, saying:
"These are the new rules of Star Plucking Academy. Those who violate them will be fined by the Disciplinary Department. I hope everyone will not deliberately break them."
After saying that, he handed the microphone to Han Xiaoxiao. With a flash, he disappeared into the night with his soul weapon.
After he left, the scene became completely lively. The new school rules he had established spread throughout the school at a very fast speed, reaching the ears of every teacher and student, and then being ridiculed by these people.
"Fines? What is the Disciplinary Department thinking? From the very beginning of Star Plucking Academy, it was established that star points cannot be transferred and can only be used for consumption. Even the current Dean has no right to change this. How can they fine us?"
"Do you think the Disciplinary Department is capable of doing something stupid? This is the idea of the new Disciplinary Head, Li Chenqiu."
"Young people, it's understandable that they would do this."
"Making such a big fuss, this kid is probably going to lose face!"
……
Inside Li Chenqiu's villa in Star Plucking Residence.
In front of the square dining table, there were several home-cooked dishes made by Li Ji. The three of them sat around the table, eating and talking, and the dim yellow warm light made the scene look particularly warm.
"Little Qiu, everyone on the academy forum is scolding you! Look!" Li Qingxia excitedly stretched her phone in front of Li Chenqiu.
"Take it away, take it away. You know they're scolding me, why are you showing it to me, the person involved!" Li Chenqiu pushed away the phone in front of him, and said unhappily.
Li Qingxia curled her lips and reluctantly took her phone back.
Li Ji, who was eating, put down his chopsticks, looked up at Li Chenqiu, and asked worriedly, "I saw on the forum that you added a fine to the school rules."
Li Chenqiu casually replied, "I'm just doing my job. I finally became the Disciplinary Head, so I naturally have to find a way to get some star points, otherwise, how can I live up to my position as Disciplinary Head."
Li Ji and Li Qingxia looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes.
"Chenqiu, have you forgotten what I told you before? Be low-key, a step back leads to a broader horizon. When you're out, having more friends means more paths. You're so…"
"Boss!" Li Chenqiu's tone was slightly heavy, and he looked at Li Ji helplessly: "I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry about me."
"But…"
Seeing that Li Ji was about to continue speaking, Li Chenqiu hurriedly interrupted, "Boss, you and my second brother shouldn't leave Star Plucking Residence for the time being. Wait until I've dealt with some things before you go out."
Li Qingxia raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Has the Fang Conglomerate already extended its hand to Star Plucking Academy?"
"More or less. In short, don't leave Star Plucking Residence. If you have to go out, tell me."
"Okay." Li Ji nodded solemnly, then his expression paused, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "What about the human blood?"
"Just drink mine. Anyway, if I lack life energy, I can replenish it through the Revival Beast. It's not a big problem," Li Chenqiu smiled.
After dinner, after washing the dishes and watching TV for a while, Li Ji and Li Qingxia returned to their respective rooms, leaving Li Chenqiu alone in the living room.
Looking at the bright crystal lamp, Li Chenqiu slowly closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became as long and continuous as a mountain range, and his tense brows also relaxed.
He didn't know how long it had passed before he slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly curved, which was a sign of pleasure.
Being with Li Ji and Li Qingxia, no matter what he was doing, Li Chenqiu could always feel an unrealistic sense of trance in his heart.
In a trance, he was still in City 11, still living on the second floor of the fried rice restaurant, praying that the delivery orders for tomorrow wouldn't be too far, praying that it wouldn't rain.
Rainy days meant business wouldn't be too good, bad business meant no money, and no money meant no meat.
Those days were poor and tiring, but also tight and beautiful, which was really incomprehensible, at least to Li Chenqiu.
"Sigh~"
Li Chenqiu smiled and sighed, then softly called out, "Huang Jianhua."
Whoosh—
A wisp of black smoke floated out from his cinders, transforming into a soul weapon standing in front of Li Chenqiu.
"Master!"
Huang Jianhua cupped his fist and knelt on one knee.
Li Chenqiu lowered his eyes, looked at him, and asked, "Have you memorized the names and corresponding faces of the students?"
Huang Jianhua respectfully said, "All the soul weapons have memorized them by heart."
Li Chenqiu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Who has violated what school rules, how many times they have violated them, and how many star points need to be deducted, I need to know clearly, cleared weekly, understand?"
"Understood!"
Ten minutes later, wisps of black smoke flew out from the villa where Li Chenqiu lived, merging into the darkness, and went to supervise their corresponding students.
Li Chenqiu stood in front of the window, his eyes deep, quietly watching all of this.
Since he wanted to harvest star points, he couldn't alert the snake in the grass. When the amount of fines for each student accumulated to a certain level, he would quickly strike and wipe them out in one fell swoop. This was the best strategy.
"I wonder how many star points I can earn in the first week."
Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After standing in place for a while, he walked towards the second floor of the villa. Just as he was about to return to his room, he inadvertently glanced and saw that the light in Li Ji's room was still on, and the hand he was about to push the door with suddenly stopped.
After a few seconds, a touch of determination flashed between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows, and he stepped towards Li Ji's room.
Pa!
The light in the room went out. It was now 11 p.m., which was Li Ji's usual bedtime.
Li Chenqiu stopped, standing there blankly for a while. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a "click" sound, and the door opened from the inside.
With the help of the light in the corridor, he could vaguely see half of Li Ji's body.
"What are you doing standing at my door?" Li Ji asked in confusion.
"I…" The expression on Li Chenqiu's face was a little unnatural: "I want to ask something."
"Is it urgent?"
"Perhaps it's urgent."
Li Ji was amused by these words and chuckled, reaching out and pressing the light switch, giving up half of his position: "Come in and talk about it if you have something to say!"
"Okay."
Li Chenqiu walked into the room and sat silently on the chair by the window.
"It's the middle of the night, hurry up and ask what you want to ask!"
Li Ji closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, his ancient well-like eyes quietly watching Li Chenqiu, inexplicably making people feel calm.
"Boss…" Li Chenqiu put his hands on his knees and exerted a little force, pretending to be calm and raising his head, directly asking, "Do you know about the New World?"
