"Don't you think sitting on someone's forehead is a really cool thing to do?"
The staff member was fuming as he looked at Huo Yuhao's innocent expression.
"You little brat!"
It actually sounded somewhat reasonable.
"What about the money then! Why aren't you paying!"
"Oh, because I don't have any money. If I don't have money, then of course I don't need to pay!"
At that moment, the staff member's brain short-circuited.
His CPU had been directly fried.
Because what Huo Yuhao said made a lot of sense!
If you don't have money, why pay?
"You..."
"You..."
He stared at Huo Yuhao, eyes bloodshot, repeating "you" several times, but unable to utter another word!
"Uncle, I'm leaving then. If you have any problems, just mention my name. I'm Huo Yuhao!"
Seeing the stunned staff member, Huo Yuhao didn't bother with him and left with his food.
By the time the staff member came to his senses, Huo Yuhao was long gone!
"Aaaaaah!"
A furious roar echoed through the sky.
"Huo Yuhao, I'll remember you! Just you wait!"
With that, the staff member hurried back to report the incident.
However, after the staff member reported the situation, expecting Huo Yuhao to be punished, the higher-ups issued a top-level directive.
"Ignore it. Arrange a separate table for him in the future."
Staff member: "???"
"Damn it!"
Today was the darkest day of his life.
...
Huo Yuhao found a shady spot under a tree and happily ate his meal, enjoying the beautiful moment.
"This is life!"
After finishing his meal, Huo Yuhao didn't return to the dorm. Instead, he lay down under the tree and fell asleep, enjoying the gentle breeze.
As the saying goes, a genius is born a genius. He knew the gap between himself and the other students. He didn't care if he wasted time every day.
In his sleep, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice appeared.
"Young man, I'm tired and need to sleep for a while. I will naturally wake up when you need your second Soul Ring. At that time, the ice attribute Martial Soul I bestowed upon you should also be able to become your primary Martial Soul, which will cause you to experience a qualitative leap."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, unconcerned.
"Go on, then. Always saying this isn't okay, that isn't okay. Really unreliable."
Huo Yuhao's tone was full of disdain, almost causing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to break down again.
Fortunately, he had been in contact with Huo Yuhao for quite some time, and he had developed a slight immunity to the things he said.
When Huo Yuhao woke up again, it was already evening.
Rubbing his blurry eyes, Huo Yuhao stretched.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
"See, isn't it dinner time again?"
Taking leisurely steps, Huo Yuhao walked towards the cafeteria once more.
The cafeteria was packed with new students who had just registered this year. They all held their bowls, standing in the spacious corridor, eating their meals with looks of disbelief.
"Damn it, why didn't they even set up any seats for us in this cafeteria?"
"Yeah, there are so many of us, and we can only eat standing up."
"Right, didn't I see a table and a chair in the middle? How about we take turns sitting?"
"No way, I suspect it's a trap. Why would they just set up a table and a chair out of nowhere? If you sit, how will others see it? We might become enemies of all the new students!"
As everyone was discussing among themselves, someone suddenly shouted.
"I get it!"
"This must be the academy's way of having us compete to determine this year's strongest new student!"
"Only by defeating everyone can you sit and eat in that chair! This is Shrek's principle – only true geniuses can survive in this academy!"
Hearing this, excitement bloomed on everyone's faces as they turned to the only table.
They were all geniuses from various places, and who wouldn't want to stand out, to become the strongest freshmen of the year! To be revered by everyone, to sit alone and enjoy their meal while everyone else stood! It was like a solitary king!
However, though everyone was tempted at that moment, not a single person dared to sit at that table first. After all, the early bird gets the worm.
Just as many freshmen hesitated, Huo Yuhao, having gotten his food, walked directly to the middle.
"Hey, guess what, the academy's finally had a conscience!"
Before anyone could react, Huo Yuhao had already sat down.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.
"What! Someone beat us to it!"
"Who is that guy? Which big family's offspring is he?"
"Don't know. Never heard of him. Why don't you go up and test his mettle?"
"Hmph! What's the rush? Someone will definitely lose their patience and go up to challenge him."
Discussions buzzed around, critiquing Huo Yuhao from head to toe. Some new students frowned, as if they'd seen Huo Yuhao before.
Everyone was waiting for someone else to make the first move, to test Huo Yuhao's strength. Because of this hesitation, they wasted about ten minutes.
And in those ten minutes, Huo Yuhao had already finished eating.
By the time everyone had agreed on a plan to act, Huo Yuhao was already gone from the cafeteria.
"Damn! Where'd that kid go?"
"Look at this! I told you to wait. You could've shown off today. Now, it's all over, he's already eaten and left!"
"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of? Isn't that kid going to come to the cafeteria next time? I'll test his skill then!"
"What if he doesn't sit there next time?"
"This!?"
The empty seat once again became the throne many new students wanted to claim, but after Huo Yuhao, no one stepped forward.
It seemed they had reached a very subtle harmony.
The discussion went on for a long time. They decided that when Huo Yuhao came next time, they would first test his abilities before deciding the victor!
In the end, only the sounds of people eating remained in the cafeteria.
Outside the cafeteria.
Looking at the starry sky, Huo Yuhao knew he wouldn't be able to sleep alone tonight, so he contacted Tang Ya directly.
Soon, Tang Ya, wearing a white nightgown, arrived.
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and directly embraced her.
Tang Ya shyly turned her head, struggling slightly.
"Yuhao, you... what are you doing?!"
Looking at Tang Ya in his arms, dressed in cool clothes, and the jasmine fragrance emanating from her, Huo Yuhao knew that Tang Ya had definitely just taken a bath.
Huo Yuhao put his head on Tang Ya's white neck, sniffing her scent carefully, and then said mischievously.
"Sister Ya, you're not being good, you know. I seem to remember I said, don't call me Yuhao."
Tang Ya blushed, not knowing why Huo Yuhao suddenly said this.
"What do you mean!"
"Looks like you've forgotten my strength. You're paying for tonight, and I'll show you if I'm still Yuhao!"
