After the opening ceremony, the Class Zero members returned to the hotel.
Jing Shaoyu rested in his room for a while, then heard a knock on his door. He went to open it, and to his surprise, it was Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue.
"What's this?" Jing Shaoyu asked.
"Hehe, Little Yu Brother, it's not easy to come to Skysea City, let's go out and stroll around?" Xu Xiaoyan didn't answer Jing Shaoyu's question, but instead hugged Jing Shaoyu's arm with a giggle and acted coquettishly.
Gu Yue didn't speak, but very proactively hugged Jing Shaoyu's other arm, which made Jing Shaoyu even more puzzled. When did these two become so close? As it turned out, Jing Shaoyu was overthinking it. The reason Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue appeared at his door together was purely coincidental.
"Gu Yue Gege, are you going out with us too?" Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly at Gu Yue. If it weren't for the fleeting displeasure in her eyes, it would have been easy to believe that her words were a sincere invitation.
Gu Yue ignored Xu Xiaoyan, only looking at Jing Shaoyu with a calm gaze, which made Jing Shaoyu feel uneasy.
"Haha, since that's the case, let's go together, the more the merrier." He immediately laughed and pretended to be oblivious.
"Hmph!" Xu Xiaoyan was very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only snort coldly. Of course, she could choose to leave in a huff, but wouldn't that benefit Gu Yue? She wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
So the three of them left the hotel together and began to explore Skysea City.
As the core city of the Skysea Alliance and the central city of the Federation's east, Skysea City's prosperity far surpassed East Sea City. In addition, it was currently the Skysea Alliance Grand Competition, which further enhanced Skysea City's prosperity by several levels. Every street was crowded with people, and commercial streets and Snack Streets were especially packed and bustling.
Jing Shaoyu and the others went to several famous attractions in Skysea City, but their hearts remained unmoved after seeing them.
"I feel like these attractions in Skysea City are no different from those in our East Sea City!" Xu Xiaoyan complained after leaving the last attraction.
"That's not hard to understand. Skysea City and East Sea City aren't very far apart, and they both belong to the East Sea region, so there's naturally a high degree of overlap and similarity in culture and customs," Jing Shaoyu explained with a smile. "If you want to see different scenery, you can only leave the East Sea and go inland, or go to the West Coast or South Coast."
"Sigh! Okay then." The little girl could only accept reality helplessly.
"Why isn't there a North Coast?" Gu Yue asked.
"The North Coast belongs to the Extreme North Forbidden Zone, there aren't any human cities there at all!" Jing Shaoyu shrugged, helplessly. "It's said that from the far north, there's a vast expanse of frozen sea, and the ice on the sea is hundreds of meters thick. I really want to see it!"
Gu Yue pursed her lips and said, "I can go with you."
Hearing Gu Yue's words, Xu Xiaoyan wasn't willing to be outdone and immediately said, "Little Yu Brother, I can go with you too!"
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand." Jing Shaoyu saw that the two girls were about to argue and immediately said, "It's too early to talk about this now. When we become stronger in the future, I'll definitely take you to the Extreme North for a trip."
"Okay!" The two girls nodded at the same time, and the tension between them dissipated a lot.
As dusk approached, Jing Shaoyu and the others had been wandering around for an entire afternoon, and their stomachs were already growling. So they found a restaurant with many diners, planning to have dinner before returning to the hotel.
This was a very common seafood restaurant in the East Sea region, and the food wasn't bad. At least Jing Shaoyu and the others were enjoying it. Perhaps they were really hungry, as Xu Xiaoyan, who usually had a small appetite, ate a lot. In the end, both girls couldn't eat anymore, their little bellies becoming round and soft, and they slumped in their seats, looking like they had no desires.
"Alright, let's go for a walk to digest, and then go back to the hotel to rest," Jing Shaoyu said to the two girls after paying the bill.
Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan stood up upon hearing this and followed Jing Shaoyu towards the outside of the restaurant.
As they passed through the restaurant lobby, Jing Shaoyu suddenly saw two somewhat familiar figures, a chubby little fatty and a tall ponytail girl. He was immediately stunned. What a coincidence, weren't those the two big suckers, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, who were scammed by Tang Wulin?
"Little Yu Brother, what are you looking at?" Xu Xiaoyan noticed Jing Shaoyu's gaze and followed his gaze, seeing Ye Xinglan who was clearing plates. Because she had only seen her once in a hurry, Xu Xiaoyan didn't recognize Ye Xinglan, only thinking that Jing Shaoyu was staring at her because she was pretty, so she called out with some jealousy.
"Hehe, can't you tell who that person is?" Jing Shaoyu smiled and said.
"Who?" Jing Shaoyu's words made Xu Xiaoyan reveal a puzzled expression, and Gu Yue also cast a curious glance.
"That's a Shrek Academy student!" Gu Yue recognized Ye Xinglan, her voice tinged with surprise.
"Oh, it really is her!" Xu Xiaoyan also recognized her, but was even more puzzled. She said, "Why is she working as a waitress here? Are Shrek Academy students that short on money?"
Jing Shaoyu smiled and said thoughtfully, "Maybe."
When Jing Shaoyu and the others noticed Ye Xinglan, she was filled with frustration and resentment. As a proud daughter of Shrek Academy, she had never suffered such indignity. She vowed in her heart to make Tang Wulin pay for making a fool of her, forcing her, a young lady who had never lifted a finger, to serve dishes and wash plates. It was a complete humiliation! All sorts of grievances welled up in her heart, casting a shadow over Ye Xinglan's beautiful face. However, she was still dedicated to her work, diligently cleaning up the messy table in front of her.
Suddenly, she felt someone staring at her from behind, and her heart skipped a beat. Could her identity have been exposed? Had someone discovered that she was a student of Shrek Academy? Ye Xinglan immediately turned her head and saw three young teenagers who looked about her age not far away, staring at her with curious expressions.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen child labor before?" Ye Xinglan shouted coldly, her heart filled with even more grievances and her resentment towards Tang Wulin deepening.
"Never seen it before!" Xu Xiaoyan shook her head sincerely.
"You..." Ye Xinglan was choked by Xu Xiaoyan's answer, pointing her finger at Xu Xiaoyan, not knowing how to retort for a moment. In the end, she could only angrily retract her finger, stomp her foot, and turn away, ignoring them.
"Let's go." Jing Shaoyu had no interest in teasing this arrogant girl. She was already full of anger, and there was no need for them to provoke her. So, he pulled Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue away.
Not long after Jing Shaoyu and the others left, Ye Xinglan hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, looking around anxiously. Then, a look of disappointment and annoyance appeared on her pretty face. She recognized Jing Shaoyu and knew that he was related to Tang Wulin. She had planned to ask him to help her call Tang Wulin back, but she was a step too late. Jing Shaoyu and the others had already left.
It seemed that the two Shrek Academy students were destined to wash dishes to pay off their debt!
On the way back to the hotel, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue still couldn't understand why Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, as top students of Shrek Academy and honored guests invited by the Skysea Alliance, were washing dishes in the restaurant.
Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Little Yu Brother, why are they working as waiters in the restaurant? Are Shrek Academy students really that short on money?"
Jing Shaoyu smiled and said, "Maybe they were tricked."
Xu Xiaoyan was even more puzzled and asked, "Tricked? Is that possible? They are students of Shrek Academy, would anyone dare to trick them?"
Gu Yue said disdainfully, "So what if they are students of Shrek Academy? They are just people, and people can be deceived. I think those two don't seem too smart, so it's normal for them to be tricked, isn't it?"
Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Xu Xiaoyan's face, and she said, "Speaking of which, that's also possible. That little fatty is silly, he was asking for food everywhere this morning, so it's reasonable for him to be tricked now."
When the three returned to their hotel room, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were laughing in the living room. Seeing Jing Shaoyu and the others return, Xie Xie immediately stepped forward to share the interesting story he had just learned.
"Captain, Gu Yue, Xiao Yan, do you know? Wulin tricked those two genius students from Shrek Academy!"
Xie Xie's words immediately made Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue's expressions become extremely interesting.
