Canteen of Building A, Lianmeng University
“Hey.” The girl sitting opposite of her, her roommate, turned around and asked, “Have you paid your tuition yet?”
Bai Tian looked up from the box of white rice she was holding and asked back, “What tuition?”
“You haven’t paid it yet? Didn’t the Academic Affairs office announce it last time? If you don’t pay the fees this month, the Dean will kill you!” The girl in front of her sat down, crossed her legs and said in an agitated tone, “That woman’s always in her menopause! You don’t want to mess with her!”
Bai Tian indifferently said, “Just let her die.”
The girl asked, “Do you still want your scholarship? Should I lend it to you first?”
Bai Tian looked up at this loyal sister and really wanted to ask, who are you ah?
It can’t be helped.

She was then dragged out of the building and saw a flying car……
She neatly went to school.

“Bai Tian! Snap out of it!” the girl shouted, “You don’t have to be polite with me.”
“Polite?” Bai Tian snickered, “You’re so cute babe.”
Bai Tian retorted: “I’m so poor that I only had one meal today, only white rice everyday. Even then, I have yet to borrow money from anyone. So what makes you think that I would borrow money from you just to appease that woman who birds nest on her head and walks like a chicken?”
The girl’s face warped into terror as she looked beyond Bai Tian, she lowered her head and covered her face.
Bai Tian felt a murderous aura hover above, like a dark shadow. And with it came the rich scent of perfume.
The room fell silent.
“Bai Tian.” The person behind her gravely said, “Countless people are dismissed from Lianmeng University every year, even if their grades are good. Congratulations, you will soon become one of them.”
Bai Tian straightened her back and didn’t dare look back. Still, she politely answered, “Thank you for your blessing.”
“Do you even understand what sexy is? What fashion is?! In all my years of teaching, I’ve never seen a student as ungrateful as you!” The Dean said violently, “It’s best if you just don’t pay tuition! Is it amazing to have such a garbage major?! Is it nice to have thick skin?! Can people like you who apply to Lianmeng University because of grants, do anything except waste resources?!”
“The existence of the system must have its rationality,” Bai Tian said. “Before you call the Department of Ancient Literature garbage, did you ever think about the current Secretary of Education, our lovely Marshal San Xing2San Xing is Chinese for Samsung , who also graduated from the Department of Ancient Literature?”
The Dean screeched: “Bai Tian! Look at me this instant!”
Bai Tian sighed, stood up, and turned to face the Dean.
The respected Dean had a livid face.
The Dean said, “Cancel your chance to select scholarships this semester, the college will no longer provide you loan subsidies! If you can’t pay the tuition by the end of the month, then get out!”
Then she turned on her heels and walked away, in her special chicken-gait.
“Wow, so cool!”
Bai Tian’s schoolmates saluted her, she returned it with a glare.
“Why did you get mad at her?!” Her roommate asked anxiously after everyone had left, “What are you going to do without subsidies?”
“This mouth is human, I couldn’t help it,” Bai Tian sighed, “And hell, I obviously didn’t mean to say anything.”
The girl clutched her aching head and wailed mournfully, “Oh, it’s all over! You speak once and more than 10,000 yuan is gone!”
She was acting crazy, as if she was the one who lost the scholarship.
Bai Tian rubbed her nose.
She seemed to have messed up.
It was the same everywhere you go, what can you do without a degree?
What’s the likelihood of her retaking the exams by herself after she’s been dismissed?
Are you kidding me? She didn’t know sh*t about this world.
What’s more, here, the difficulty of getting into a similar university is the same as getting admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University3Best Universities in China !
This is really bad, she couldn’t afford to let it continue like this.
“Bai Tian!” The girl slapped the table and shouted, “stop dazing! I’ll lend you the money first so that you can quickly pay off the tuition, ok?”
Bai Tian sat down, “No way, I’m going to make money.”
The girl asked: “How will you make money?”
Bai Tian said: “Playing games.”
“Have you finally been enlightened?” The girl exitedly said, “I already told that you should play《Hua Shi》! If you can’t play PVP 4player vs. player , you can still play PVE5 Player vs. Environment (mobs) , and if you can’t play pve, you can still be a pv salted fish6Salted fish means people who have no intention of doing anything! You can also mine cryptocurrency to earn money!”
《Hua Shi》was a virtual reality game implemented by the Lianmeng Science Resarch Department.
The hottest game in history, no one can even come close!
When Bai Tian first found out about it, she was so shocked that her jaw nearly hit the ground.
Even online games are validated! This world is so full of joy!
Her username will overturn this world!
“I’m a changed person.” Bai Tian said, “I’m going to play 《Hua Shi》!”
“Really?” the girl asked doubtfully.
Bai Tian picked up the lunch box and cleaned it off in two bites.
The girl said: “I’m on the third server. My username is Half Mooncake, but they call me Pang Ci7Japanese for underwear.”
“Why Half Mooncake?” Bai Tian asked.
The girl: “Isn’t my name Guan Yue8The Yue ‘月’ can translate to moon ? I wanted to be called Mooncake, but you told me to change it to Half-Moon. Together, it’s Half Mooncake.”
So the girl’s name was Guan Yue.
Bai Tian raised two thumbs up: “Canola9 Canola (油菜花) sounds similar to (有才華) → talented !”
Guan Yue asked: “Which server are you on? What’s your username? What’s your occupation?”
Bai Tian replied: “I don’t have an account yet. I’m waiting for the new server update.”
The new server should be coming at 12 o’clock this evening.
If you want to make a fortune by reselling equipment, then it’s better to start in the old servers. But if you want to make a quick buck by raising prices, you should probably go to the new server.
“New Server……not a lot of people are buying ore, right?” Guan Yue said, “you should come over to the third district. I can carry you to my level.”
Bai Tian waved her hand: “No need.”
Guan Yue: “……You’re going to regret that.”
Bai Tian raised her middle finger: “WATCH ME.”
Guan Yue: “……”
After Bai Tian finished eating, she handed the lunch box to the robot and left the cafeteria.
Guan Yue put down her chopsticks and sulked in her original seat.
She couldn’t believe that the originally quiet, soft, and cute girl became like this after just skipping two days of classes.
Injuries of the heart were indeed the hardest to mend, perhaps the stimulation was too much…….
Lunch ended quickly, the rest of the afternoon was divided between two specialized classes.
A professor was lecturing on the podium, “In the 21st century, a tech company, Apple, introduced a revolutionary mobile phone It completely changed the technological scene…”
Bai Tian yawned.
The professor rapped the table, “Bai Tian! Take this class seriously! Everything that I’m about to say will be on the exam!”
Bai Tian nodded.
If the exams were just going to be this, then full marks are already calling out to her.
“There used to be a person named Steve Jobs, and then he died,” Bai Tian said in a structured manner, “He invented the smartphone and eliminated Nokia. Since then, the era where a mobile phone can be used to kill, ended10 Nokia is so hardy that it could probably kill someone .”
The students were in an uproar: “Really?! Mobile phones could be used to kill?”
“Wasn’t it a pistol at the time?”
“So that’s what a pistol was? It doesn’t feel right, I don’t understand.”
“……”
“Silence! Silence!” The professor’s face was as blank as ink, he pointed to the door and said, “Bai Tian! Get out!”
Bai Tian: “……”
F*ck, this old lady was really speaking the truth ok!
It’s still very touching to be asked to leave class by a university teacher.
Bai Tian picked up her bag and went back to the dormitory.
The dormitory was a four-person suite with a single bathroom. It was not bad.
At the moment, there was no one else there.
Bai Tian went to her room and locked the door. Then she started looking up information about 《Hua Shi》.
It was already six o’clock by the time Guan Yue sent her a message asking: “Do you want me to bring you food?”
Bai Tian exited the interface and looked at her account balance, seven dollars and six cents.
It was still seven dollars and six cents! There wasn’t even interest!
Your mom! The original owner was actually killed by poverty, right?!
Bai Tian bravely responded: “I’m not hungry.”
Guan Yue: “I’ll pay.”
Bai Tian: “Then excuse me, please get me a dish with meat. Thanks.”
Her good sister, Guan Yue, arrived fifteen minutes later. She brought over the take-out and kept Bai Tian company for a little while.
Bai Tian devoured the meal with tears in her eyes.
Guan Yue observed her face and tentatively asked, “are you really ok?”
She was still shocked at Bai Tian’s behavior today.
Bai Tian: “I’m feeling really good. Even a hundred poisons won’t be able to kill me, thanks for asking.”
“It’s great that you can move on!” Guan Yue said, “that scumbag and slut aren’t worth it!”
Bai Tian looked up: “Who?”
Guan Yue was very pleased and patted Bai Tian’s shoulder, “good! Stay like this. That’s the attitude!”
Bai Tian: “……”
This old lady was sincerely asking the question!
There were activities at 7 o’clock this evening, and Guan Yue was also someone who depended on 《Hua Shi》to make money.
Not long after, she returned to her room with the goal of earning two people’s tuition by herself.
Bai tian opened her optical computer and watched the future version of the 8 o’clock idol drama for a while, getting a feel of the fashion trend.
The clock struck 12.
Bai Tian put on the VR-headset and started customizing her character.
“Damn-!”
Bai Tian involuntarily shouted. The graphics were so cool.
She stood in the middle of a lake, with the starry sky reflecting off the surface. A magnificent cherry tree rustled beside her. Its petals quivered and the blossoms glowed a pale silver.
Bai Tian covered her chest.
This old lady’s teenage heart!
A golden barrage flashed in front of her eyes, and then an icon appeared in the upper right corner.
“Mental fortitude result: S, Palace Level. Do you want to publicize the results?”
Bai Tian declined, she preferred to be low-key.
Good things should be kept hidden in order to stun the enemy in awkward situations.
In any case, Bai Tian didn’t even know what S-class meant.
She just knew that a strong mental fortitude was both innate and acquired. Those with a low level wouldn’t be able to play the virtual game very well.
So the company carefully set up this semi-virtual function.
It was presented as a two-dimentional plane. But part of the controls was given to the optical computer while the part was for the keyboard. If there was a conflict or problem with the signal, then it will default to the keyboard.
The disadvantage was that there would be a slight lag, but the advantage was that it could handle more.
In front of her was the introduction to the plot. Bai Tian started reading it, but accidentally clicked skip and was sent directly to the login page.
She saw a girl that looked exactly like her and silently clicked the back button.
She then changed the login method to semi-virtual and changed her character’s gender to male. She started fine-tuning the character’s appearance and proceeded to log in.
If she used a female character to kill and rob people, she might be labeled as a transvestite11playing the opposite gender of your physical gender .
It’s better to save face and just have a transvestite account.
The progress bar showed a completed status and a half-naked man in underpants with the ID Blue Skies12 Bai Tian’s (白天) name translates to White Sky (basically daytime lmao). Qingtian Bairi (the username, 青天白日) translates to Blue Skies White Sun (or Blue Sky Day). But that’s too long, so you’re stuck with Blue Skies 😀 appeared in the Beginner’s village.
A crowd encompassed and jostled her around.
Baii Tian clenched her chest.
Damn! It was a good thing she didn’t choose to go fully virtual! This was too embarrassing!
She squeezed her way out of the crowd and started doing a few low leveled tasks, then tried to grab a novice rank spear. But it stayed locked even after an hour had passed.
Causing trouble ah.
《Hua Shi》’s new server was very popular.
Another hour had passed and Bai Tian finally hit Level 3.
She couldn’t stand it anymore and was finally able to grab a spear to go out into the open world and swipe13Kill mobs for exp some mobs.
According to the map, there was a dune field behind the Beginner’s Village. The monsters there were just level 8 foxes.
《Hua Shi》and《Zhonghua Zhan Shi》, the new server was based on the Zhou Dynasty. Killing a fox gave extra experience points (exp).
Bai Tian used the copper coins obtained from completing tasks to make basic upgrades on her weapon before heading out to the sand dunes.
Along the way, she met two snakes, three rabbits, and an n amount of toads. After swinging her new spear twice, they were all killed and she ended up accumulating 40 exp points.
From a distance, she saw an assassin wearing the same coarse outfit as her, flying in the wind. A wild fox was chasing him.
The assassin took a sideways glanced at Bai Tian as he ran pass her.
So Blue Skies raised her spear and struck down the fox.
The assassin slowed down to a stop and stared at her.
He watched as Blue Skies stepped forward, grab her spear, and lift her foot to step on it.
The fox was stomped to death.
The assassin was dumbfounded.
He had been playing 《Hua Shi》for more than 10 years but had yet to see such an enchanting way of swiping monsters.
This would definitely be the most memorable moment of his life.
“…F*ck! Do you think you’re a javelin?” The assassin struggled to find an adjective within the short period of time. Stupefied, he said: “What the hell did I just see?”
Blue Skies looked up and said: “Isn’t it supposed to be done like this?”
“Won’t it leave a ghost!?*” The assassin agitatedly said, “Don’t you have a spear? Stab ah! Poke ah! Strike ah! Do you think your shoes are weapons ah!”
Blue Skies raised her foot to show: “No shoes.”
The assassin, who was called Yellowing Leaves, was left speechless.
Of course Bai Tian knew that the characters had skills. But at the moment, she didn’t know how to activate them.
Blue Skies said: “Brother, since I helped you, can I ask, how do you use your skills?”
“F*ck!” Yellowing Leaves finally reacted and jumped, saying: “It took me half a day to attract and paralyze that monster! You’re killing me!”
Ka Wei 14Essentially means getting an advantageous position. Using the BUG on the map to immobilize the monster.
Those who can do this must be old drivers15 Old timers, they’ve been doing this for a while.
A speech bubble appeared above Blue Skies’s head and inside was a shy smile emote.
Yellowing Leaves cursed: “Don’t disgust me, you sissy!”
Blue Skies sent a team invite. Yellowing Leaves instantly rejected it.
Blue Skies sent another one, saying: “You don’t need to go through all that trouble again, I’ll carry you.”
Yellowing Leaves continued to reject the invite and turned to leave.
Blue Skies followed him persistently, saying: “Believe me, I’m really very good.”
Two seconds later, Yellowing Leaves accepted the invite.
