Chapter 22 Each Shows Its Oddities
Qian Yuhan and Fang Qing chatted a bit more about the daily management of the academy before parting ways.
Qian Yuhan arrived at a plaza. At the entrance stood a huge stone with the words "Angel Plaza" inscribed on it. So this was Angel Plaza, the popular learning center for students of the Spirit Hall Academy. Yes, Fang Qing said so.
Looking at the statue in the center of the square, my eyes welled up with tears again.
That was the statue of Qian Mo, the current elder of the Judgment Hall and the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall.
Qian Yuhan: Qian Yuhan, how can you be so pathetic? You want to cry as soon as you see anything related to him. Stop crying, stop crying…
Qian Yuhan was inwardly cursing herself; she was truly "insulting herself."
I just heard Fang Qing say that the statue in Angel Square is of the contemporary elder judge. The academy placed his statue so that students would take him as an example, take his achievements as their goal, and strive to achieve them.
Whenever a new Judgment Elder is appointed, the statue of the previous elder is scaled down and sent to the Judgment Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall for storage as a memento.
Qian Yuhan then remembered that when she went to her father's place before, there were statues of different figures on both sides of the central axis of the main hall, all facing the phantom of an angel.
Qianmo once said, "They are all, like me, the most devout believers of the angel God!"
……
Returning to her senses, Qian Yuhan no longer lingered in Angel Square. It was already dusk when she returned to dormitory 101 and saw her three roommates all meditating cross-legged on their beds.
Qian Yuhan: Why is everyone so tense when they're cultivating?!
"Let's go eat!" Qian Yuhan said.
Mu Chen opened his eyes, yawned, and said, "Come on, I've been waiting for you for almost an hour, and you fell asleep sitting up. Hehe, let's go!"
Qian Yuhan: Asleep...
"What about Tang Xuan and Tang Chen? Aren't they going?"
"The two of them—"
"Go! It just finished one cycle." Tang Xuan said, opening his eyes.
“Me too, let’s go,” Tang Chen said.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "What's wrong with you guys? Didn't you agree to sleep together sitting down? Are you secretly practicing?" As he spoke, he was about to climb the ladder onto Tang Xuan's bed to beat him up.
Seeing this, Tang Xuan quickly explained, "I just need to practice more to improve my strength. If that Dai Shengxi provokes me, I need to be able to confront him and prepare for his retaliation. How can I not practice more to strengthen myself?"
Tang Chen nodded in agreement.
"You're right, you need to practice more. I'll let you off this time!" Mu Chen released the ladder, jumped down from it.
"Hahahahahahaha!" All four of them in the dorm burst into laughter.
Qian Yuhan: I don't know about the other students in the college, but the people in dormitory 101 seem very kind and friendly. I like this atmosphere...
The four people who arrived at the cafeteria looked up at the huge menu in front of them, which was five meters long and three meters wide, and had all kinds of delicious food!
"Wow! Is the academy this extravagant?" Tang Xuan exclaimed in shock, his mouth agape.
Qian Yuhan was thinking about what to eat, and finally chose a plate of shredded pork with rice.
The cafeteria's main menu lists the ingredients for each dish for reference. (Ingredients: Lingmu chicken eggs, wood ear mushrooms, and pork from ten-year-old Mubei black pigs)
Just as he was carrying his rice bowl and looking for a seat, he suddenly felt someone bump into him. Qian Yuhan looked down and found that his dinner had been spilled all over the floor.
Qian Yuhan turned around to see who it was, only to find it was an old acquaintance—Dai Shengxi.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, classmate, I didn't mean to." Dai Shengxi apologized insincerely, then turned and left quickly.
Qian Yuhan stared coldly at his retreating figure, a surge of anger rising within him. He knew Dai Shengxi had done this on purpose, but with everyone watching, he couldn't afford to lash out.
"This is absolutely outrageous!" Qian Yuhan gritted her teeth inwardly.
The other three, seeing this, came over to comfort Qian Yuhan.
"Don't be angry, Yuhan, let's buy another one."
"Exactly, why bother arguing with someone like that? It's not worth it."
Qian Yuhan nodded. Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught Dai Shengxi looking at him smugly, as if in provocation.
Qian Yuhan's anger intensified. He secretly vowed that he would teach him a lesson in the future when there was an academy battle competition.
He had heard Fang Qing say that using one's martial spirit to fight in the cafeteria would result in punishment. So, Qian Yuhan gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger!
After dinner, back in the dormitory, Qian Yuhan asked everyone if they knew how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), and everyone looked completely bewildered.
"Yu Han, what is Dou Dizhu?"
"Uh, it's poker."
"What's poker again?"
Qian Yuhan: ? ? They don't know about poker??
This time it was Qian Yuhan's turn to be dumbfounded. Surely no one doesn't know about playing cards.
Qian Yuhan suddenly remembered that this was not the original world. There should be no such thing as playing cards in Douluo Continent, so naturally she would not know about Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
"It's nothing, it's just a game, a card game. I'll get a deck ready when I have time, and the four of us can play together, it'll be a lot of fun," Qian Yuhan said to everyone.
Then everyone went to bed and lay down. Before long, Mu Chen started snoring.
Tang Xuan looked speechlessly at Mu Chen on the opposite bed and sighed, "Is this guy a sleeping god? He's been sleeping all afternoon, and now he's lying on the bed and sleeping again. Is he really going to sleep forever?"
“Everyone’s body is different, maybe he just has a tendency to be sleepy, hahaha,” Qian Yuhan remarked.
Qian Yuhan lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking to herself:
This is, after all, the Douluo Continent, different from the original world. There are some things that exist in the original world but not in the Douluo Continent, like playing cards. If I could create these things that don't exist in the Douluo Continent, and then have Uncle Tianwei and the others promote them using the Spirit Hall's influence, wouldn't I become the richest person on the continent? Hahahaha…
Seeing Qian Yuhan lying on the bed grinning foolishly, Tang Xuan put his right hand to his forehead and said, "Mu Chen is a heavy sleeper, and Yuhan is grinning like an idiot. Hehe, our dorm..."
"Hey, I have a business that can make money. Do you want to work with me?"
"There's money to be made?!" Tang Chen suddenly sat up.
Tang Xuan rolled his eyes at his greedy younger brother and said speechlessly to Qian Yuhan, "Tang Chen is a money-grubber. Money is everything as long as it doesn't violate his principles."
Qian Yuhan: Tang Chen is in a contradictory position. How can he make a lot of money without violating some principles? So he can't really be considered a money-grubber...
"I can participate, but I don't have much of a business mind. However, I can bring in beautiful women to make your product famous, hehe."
Qian Yuhan: Using beautiful women for advertising? That's not just a lack of business acumen, it's Tang Xuan's complete lack of self-awareness, haha…
"You're even trying to pick up beautiful women? You're such a lecher," Qian Yuhan said to Tang Xuan with a smile.
"How did you know? My brother and I are probably a year older than you, but it's my fault. Back when I was a freshman at Tiandou Academy, there was a pretty girl in the class, and I couldn't resist peeping at her in the girls' bathroom. I got expelled. No schools in Tiandou would accept me, and my brother didn't want to be alone in a school, afraid of getting bored, so he dropped out with me. In the end, we managed to enroll on the last day of the Spirit Hall Academy's admissions deadline, and that's how we ended up here..."
Qian Yuhan was stunned. Tang Xuan was too outrageous! Peeping at a female classmate showering?! This guy is really something else...
Dorm 101: One loves to sleep, one loves to giggle, one is a miser, one is a pervert... Haha, they're really weirdos...
