Chapter 108 - 108 Money Makes the World Go Round



Even Wang Xiao, who was ranked first in the lord competition qualifiers previously, had never seen such a scene.

The two of them looked at each other with subtle expressions.

Zhou Xiruo hesitated for a moment and probed, “Don’t tell me you were from Yuheng Academy in the past? You offended too many people here, so you transferred to Kaiyang?”

!!

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily. “Can’t you think better of me? Am I the kind of person who likes to go around provoking people?”

Zhou Xiruo looked at the approaching crowd and did not say anything. She silently took half a step back and distanced herself. She bowed slightly and asked with a smile, “Hello, student. I’m a new transfer student. May I ask how to get to the teacher’s office?”

“…”

Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo speechlessly. The corners of his mouth twitched twice and he was about to speak, but that group of people had already arrived.

“Wang Xiao! How bold of you to actually come!”

A square-faced young man walked out of the crowd and gritted his teeth as he looked at Wang Xiao. “When I heard the news this morning, I thought it was someone with the same name… I didn’t expect it to really be you!”

If it were any other time, Wang Xiao would definitely ignore this situation.

However, today was his first day in Yuheng Academy. These people in front of him were his future classmates or even companions, so it was still necessary to build a good relationship.

Moreover, even if Wang Xiao did not think for himself, he had to think for Zhou Xiruo. It was not a good thing to be isolated by his classmates on the first day of transfer.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao resisted the urge to leave and stared at that person seriously for a long time. However, in the end, he still revealed a puzzled expression. “Do we know each other?”

“Stop pretending!”

The square-faced young man glared. “At the beginning of the lord competition, you snatched so many resources from me. Now, you really think you can get past this just by saying you don’t know me?”

During the flag snatching stage of the lord competition, the Crimson Star people had yet to invade. Wang Xiao felt that it was too troublesome to find opponents everywhere, so he set up a toll on a road. The teams coming and going had to hand over the “payment for the road”.

Moreover, there were too many teams coming and going at that time. Wang Xiao only cared about collecting money and letting them go. He did not notice which academy’s teams were coming, so he naturally did not remember what those people looked like.

However, now that he heard the other party say this, Wang Xiao really had an impression. “You’re the one who used [Goblin]… Oh, no! It was [Slime]!”

After unremitting efforts, Wang Xiao finally remembered that square-faced young man. He wanted to build a good relationship with his new classmate and hurriedly squeezed out a smile to hold the other party’s hand. “Student Shi! Hello!”

“Hello…”

That person was stunned by Wang Xiao’s enthusiasm. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. “Who are you calling Shi? My soldier is [Lava Slime]! Remember, my name is Zhao Yunyan!”

“So it’s Student Zhao! Sorry, sorry!”

Wang Xiao hurriedly changed his words and continued with a smile, “Student Zhao, you’re really enthusiastic. You even made such a big scene to welcome me on my first day here!”

“Welcome you? I’m here to settle scores with you!”

Zhao Yunyan shook Wang Xiao off and crossed his arms before saying angrily, “Back then, you snatched 1,000 units of [essence iron ore], 300 units of [essence copper ore], and 15 [water-type spirit grass] from me!”

“Don’t say that I’m bullying a new student. It’s fine if you obediently hand over the things today. Otherwise, be careful! You might not be able to enter Yuheng Academy!”

“Ha! It’s not a big deal!”

Wang Xiao chuckled. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhao Yunyan. “These things of yours are too scattered. Can I directly give you a thousand star coins?”

“A thousand?!”

Zhao Yunyan exclaimed and almost bit his tongue off.

The surrounding people also gasped. One had to know that 100 units of refined copper ore could only be exchanged for one star coins. If Zhao Yunyan’s things were brought to the trading market, he could only sell them for 200 star coins!

Seeing Zhao Yunyan’s reaction, Wang Xiao knew that the other party definitely had no objections. Then, he directly opened the interface and transferred 1,000 star coins.

Money makes the world go round. This saying was true.

As the 1,000 star coins were transferred, Zhao Yunyan’s attitude also underwent a 180-degree change.

“Aiya! Student Wang, why are you treating me like an outsider? We’re all classmates. Didn’t I just take advantage of you?”

Zhao Yunyan curled his lips and hugged Wang Xiao. He looked as enthusiastic as he could. “But don’t worry, I can’t take advantage of you for nothing—listen up! In the future, whoever dares to go against Student Wang will be going against me, Zhao Yunyan!”

The last sentence was said by Zhao Yunyan to the other students. However, no one was listening to him now.

Seeing Wang Xiao transfer 1,000 star coins just like that, the students present could not help but rush forward to “settle the score”. Before Zhao Yunyan could react, he was squeezed far away by the crowd.

Among these more than a hundred people, there was no lack of people who took advantage of the situation. They either made false reports or were not robbed at all. However, Wang Xiao was rich and could not be bothered to distinguish. After hearing the other party’s “reporting”, he directly gave them money. Moreover, he would give away more than what the other party reported!

Zhou Xiruo, who was at the side, secretly grinned. Although these students were timid and would at most ask for two to three thousand star coins, they still couldn’t withstand giving money away to more than a hundred people!

One person was 2,000, so ten people were 20,000. After a hundred of them asked for it, 200,000 star coins were gone just like that. Even if this was not Zhou Xiruo’s money, her heart ached when she saw it!

However, Wang Xiao did not care much about this. He could spend some money to resolve the conflict between his classmates and even change his reputation. It was the best of both worlds. Why not?

Under Wang Xiao’s terrifying transfer speed, in less than a few minutes, these more than a hundred people had become his welcoming group. As for the banner “Defeat Wang Xiao”, it had long been thrown away.

Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Wang Xiao pointed at Zhou Xiruo, who had been squeezed into the distance. “Let me introduce everyone. This beauty is called Zhou Xiruo. She’s a transfer student who came with me and is also my vassal lord.”

“So it’s Student Zhou!”

“Hello, Student Zhou!”

“Student Zhou is so beautiful. You look so compatible with Student Wang!”

Under the praise of more than a hundred people, Zhou Xiruo did not even know what was going on before she was squeezed back to Wang Xiao’s side.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Zhou Xiruo. Please guide me in the future!”

Zhou Xiruo generously introduced herself to everyone. Then, she whispered into Wang Xiao’s ear, “Wang Xiao, are you crazy? Do you know how much you spent just now?”

“Isn’t money meant to be spent?! We can earn more if we run out!”

Wang Xiao chuckled indifferently and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Moreover, do you think my money is so easy to take?”
