I EAT MY OWN JEALOUSY 49

Chapter 49

Jian Ning was curious, “What’s going on at the academy? Why are there new security guards?”

Terry explained, “I heard it’s because of the incident with the military academy students last time. The academy hired new security guards to protect us.”

Ah, that makes sense, Jian Ning nodded. After tidying up, he went to class with Terry.

On the way from the dormitory to the classroom, it was obvious that there were more security guards on the road, patrolling at various intersections. Jian Ning curiously glanced around and hurried to class.

Today’s lesson mainly involved harvesting the vegetables planted earlier. After over a month of growth, they were now ripe. Students could clean and sell the vegetables they grew in their own plots.

In the first semester of enrollment for new students, the academy distributed land and seeds for free. However, starting from the second semester, students had to pay a certain amount of rent to obtain land and seeds. However, compared to outside, the rent at the academy was extremely low, as long as the vegetables grown could be sold. The better the vegetables grew, the higher the selling price. Diligent students could even accumulate a large sum of star coins by planting vegetables during their time at the academy.

Arriving at the planting area designated for their class by school bus, Teacher Sisi explained some precautions and then let them start harvesting.

“Hey, is there any more water? Can I have a bottle too?” A classmate beside Jian Ning had also forgotten to bring water and, seeing this, called out to the guard.

The guard turned to look at him, shook his head, then turned and walked away.

The classmate looked dejectedly at Jian Ning, only able to blame his own bad luck, and continued working with a lowered head.

After harvesting all the watermelon from the ground, Jian Ning breathed a sigh of relief as he stood up. He spotted the guard who had given him water not far away and, after a moment’s thought, selected one of the watermelons that was particularly full of mental power and walked over to the guard.

“Thank you for the water earlier,” he said, holding out the watermelon to the guard.

The guard was tall, almost half a head taller than him, looking equally imposing as Zong ye. He didn’t say anything, just looked down at him, then reached out and took the watermelon.

Jian Ning turned and walked away, feeling somewhat puzzled. Why didn’t he speak? Was he unable to speak?

A nearby classmate, seeing this, shook his head and said to Jian Ning, “He just gave you a bottle of water, and you’re giving him such a good watermelon? Do you know how many star coins a bottle of water is worth, and how many star coins a high-quality watermelon is worth? You’re at a loss, several times over.”

Jian Ning smiled but didn’t say anything. A bottle of water at a time of need couldn’t be measured in star coins.

After finishing the harvest, Teacher Sisi called for a bus to come and take them to the specialized market for selling. The market was in the trading area, not far from the planting area.

Each person had harvested a large basket full. The students left their marks on the baskets and then helped each other load them onto the car. Apart from Jian Ning, there were thirty students in the class, exactly enough to pair up, and since Jian Ning had moved up from a lower class, he was somewhat marginalized and had no one to help him.

A classmate and his friend who cooperated to load their two baskets onto the car turned around and saw Jian Ning looking helpless by himself, they felt a little sorry for him. Just as they were about to go help him, the guard who had just helped Jian Ning walked over, bent down to pick up Jian Ning’s basket, and carried it towards the car.

Seeing him carrying Jian Ning’s basket, other classmates also shouted, “Help us too.”

The guard glanced at them expressionlessly, ignored them all, and turned to walk back to patrol the road.

The other classmates shrank back, muttering unhappily in their hearts. If he didn’t want to help, why did he look so fierce?

This guard is really nice. Jian Ning sighed in his heart as he rode the school bus to the trading area.

Selling off the full basket of watermelon squashes, Jian Ning smiled, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the star coins credited to his crystal card. This was the first money he had earned since coming to the Emperor Star, and in just over a month’s time, he had earned more than he had in six months on Blue Star.

Indeed, being a cultivator was a lucrative profession.

“How many star coins did you sell?” the classmate from before came over to ask.

Jian Ning stated a number, and the classmate envied, “So many, you really grew them well.”

The price of vegetables was determined by their quality, with higher mental power resulting in higher prices. Since Jian Ning’s watermelons were all top-notch, their prices were naturally higher than those of his classmates.

Jian Ning chuckled and sent a message to Terry, preparing to treat him and Jenny to dinner with this money.

They arranged to go out for dinner that evening since they had classes in the afternoon, so they had lunch at the cafeteria. When Jian Ning arrived at the cafeteria, Terry and Jenny were already in line.

A new chef had recently joined the cafeteria, and his egg yolk chicken wings were particularly delicious, always being sold out. As soon as Jian Ning entered the cafeteria, he headed towards the longest queue and indeed spotted Terry and Jenny ahead.

“Ning, I counted, there are still eighteen chicken wings left. We’re definitely going to get them this time,” Terry, standing third in line, said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

Jian Ning was also hopeful. They had missed out on the chicken wings several times before because they arrived late, and this time they were closer to success.

Soon, the first student ordered four, the second student ordered five, and the third student took the rest. When it was Terry’s turn, the chef said, “We’re out of chicken wings.”

The three of them ordered other dishes and reluctantly left the line, finding a place to sit.

“It’s okay, we’ll come earlier next time,” Jian Ning comforted them.

At a nearby table, several security guards were also eating together. The small guard with a center parting enthusiastically said to the guard on his right, “Boss, try this, the chicken wings taste amazing.”

The guard on the right looked at the chicken wings in the small guard’s plate, picked up a clean plate from his side, transferred all the chicken wings onto the clean plate, then said to the small guard, “See those three students over there? Take it over to them.”

The small guard was a bit puzzled. “Why are we giving it to them?”
