Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Star Era Guide (19)

The sudden appearance of Level 3 Ferocious Beasts prompted the academy to urgently halt all activity in Zone F, and all students were gradually brought back to the camp.

Rumors of someone being bitten by a Level 3 Ferocious Beast started circulating among the students, with many feeling fortunate they hadn’t encountered them.

Some were worried about the upcoming arrangements.

What if they had to go back and encountered the beasts again?

Beasts are indiscriminate!

The academy urgently discussed and decided to pause activities, as they still hadn’t figured out where those Level 3 Ferocious Beasts came from, and one was yet to be caught.

Chuzheng returned to the school along with the main group.

Jing Lan was nowhere to be seen, and Chuzheng only saw Professor Wei.

Back at the dormitory, Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief but was still worried.

”Boss, will Xie Wanwan report us?”

She was actually more curious about what the teacher and Chuzheng talked about on the aircraft earlier.

But she didn’t dare ask...

”Sleep more when you have nothing to do.” Chuzheng pushed Xiao Jiu back to her room.

”But Boss...”

Chuzheng closed the door.

Xiao Jiu was anxious and fearful all night.

However, it turned out that Xie Wanwan said nothing.

But Xiao Jiu was still uneasy, worried for several days, until Xie Wanwan and those injured students returned to the academy for classes without any unusual occurrences, finally making Xiao Jiu feel completely at ease.

Xie Wanwan seemed to no longer stay in the dorm; Chuzheng hadn’t seen her in the dormitory building.

They were in different departments, so there were no classes together, making it rare for them to meet.

Chuzheng could only lament Xie Wanwan’s great luck, without any other recourse.

Such a weak and helpless little thing is indeed heartrending.

Jing Lan was still drinking every day in that office/classroom room; when his temper was better, he’d sit on the counter fiddling with small things.

When his temper was bad, he’d see everyone with disdain, eager to throw in a jab.

Of course, his temper was usually bad.

”Student Chuzheng, what are you doing standing here?”

Chuzheng stood at the door with hands in pockets.

Professor Wei glanced inside at the messy room, then at Jing Lan scolding Xiao Jiu over there, and wisely chose not to enter.

”Does Jing Lan often scold you guys?”

”No.” Chuzheng paused: ”He often scolds Xiao Jiu.”

Because scolding her would result in retaliation.

Every time Jing Lan wanted to vent at her, he’d look into her eyes and turn his anger towards Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu felt aggrieved, but Xiao Jiu did not speak up.

Professor Wei gestured for Chuzheng to talk aside.

”Jing Lan, he wasn’t like this before; he was a genius...”

”Talented people are often envied.”

”...”

Professor Wei twitched a bit, but these words weren’t wrong.

Professor Wei sighed: ”His spiritual power is damaged, unable to control his temper.”

”Why did this happen?” Chuzheng always felt Jing Lan was abnormal, he could just erupt in anger.

Professor Wei: ”When he got injured, his brain nerves also suffered permanent damage. If he had accepted treatment properly back then, the situation might be better, but unfortunately, he didn’t listen...”

”Overall, this is how it is now, it’s already much better than before.”

Back in the early days, anyone within a meter of him feared for their life.

Jing Lan then needed a lot of tranquilizers daily.

Once, Professor Wei and the principal went to see him and almost didn’t recognize that the person was Jing Lan.

Misusing tranquilizers can burden the body.

If he continued like this, not long after, they could prepare for his funeral.

The principal couldn’t bear to see Jing Lan go on like this and eventually persuaded him to come to the school.

The Paleobiology Department was already understaffed, arranging him there was just nominal.

Who knew Chuzheng ended up in that department coincidentally.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Professor Wei discussed this with Chuzheng, hoping she could be more considerate.

”Just treat him as a patient, most of what he says isn’t meant to be hurtful, he just can’t control himself...”

”Okay.” I’ll try to tolerate him with my Good Person Card.

Mine mine mine.

Sigh...

Professor Wei listened to the noise inside, thinking Jing Lan might not calm down soon, he fished out an invitation card and handed it to Chuzheng: ”Hand it over to him later, I have things to do, I’ll leave now.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

-

”Boss, here’s an invitation card.”

Xiao Jiu returned with purchases and an invitation card.

”Hm?”

Who’s sending her an invitation card for no reason, expecting her to cause trouble?

Xiao Jiu handed the invitation card to her.

Chuzheng opened it to have a look, and it was sent by Master Yin Er.

She tossed the invitation aside, then picked it up again the next second, as its cover matched the one Professor Wei asked her to give Jing Lan.

The banquet was held at the Yin Family mansion in honor of Master Yin Er’s birthday.

Given the Yin Family’s wide connections, many people attended.

These people came not for Master Yin Er, the good-for-nothing, but to give face to the Yin Family.

Master Yin Er dressed in style, standing at the door to greet guests, his smile blooming like a flower.

Getting off the car, Master Yin Er spotted her instantly.

He left the task of greeting others to someone else and darted over: ”Hey, long time no see, tycoon.”

Chu·Tycoon·zheng: ”...”

”Thanks for the help last time. If you need anything in the future, just find me.” Master Yin Er patted his chest: ”From now on, we’re brothers. If there’s meat for me, there’s soup for you!”

Casually giving away a billion, Master Yin Er decided this was a must-make friend.

Chuzheng: ”...”

You eat meat, I drink soup?

What good is having you as a brother?

No, thank you!

Master Yin Er bounced happily, leading Chuzheng in.

”Er Shao, who is this?” A woman clung to Master Yin Er’s arm, pulling him aside as eyes fell on Chuzheng: ”Er Shao, you don’t like me anymore? Finding a new love?”

The voice was sugary sweet.

Chuzheng couldn’t help but rub her arms, wondering how Master Yin Er could tolerate it.

”Shoo shoo, go play.” Master Yin Er clearly couldn’t stand it, pulling back his arm: ”This is my brother, don’t talk nonsense.”

The woman glanced fearsomely at Chuzheng and silently walked away after a moment.

Chuzheng: ”...”

What kind of look was that?

What was that supposed to mean?!

[Miss, I think she thinks you’ve changed genders.] With Star Era technology being so advanced, changing genders is exceedingly easy.

”Shut it!”

[...]

Calling the Yin Family estate an estate wouldn’t be unfair, with red carpets stretching from the entrance inward.

Decorations adorned the surrounding lawns, long tables spaced apart piled with drinks while people stood around casually chatting.

Robots wandered the lawns, serving the guests.

With Master Yin Er personally accompanying her, there was inevitably some attention.

”Who is that?”

”Looks familiar... was it something last time...”

”What happened last time?”

”Master Yin Er’s new love?”

”Doesn’t seem like it, I’ve never seen him this courteous.”

”Maybe it’s true love?”

”Forget it, someone who changes women daily treats true love with no respect!”
