Regarding Oscar's reminder, Shi Quan felt more contempt for Dai Mubai in his heart.
He was not afraid of Dai Mubai.
… …
"Oh, right Oscar, where is the academy's dining hall?"
"I'll take you."
The two chatted, and before they knew it, it was noon.
As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, Shi Quan said, "Oscar, isn't Zhuqing in a single room? Let's call her to come along."
Oscar smiled lewdly, "Hahahaha, I understand, I understand, can you keep up?"
"No problem."
"Boss Dai is also at Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory door, are we still going?" After walking for a while, Oscar whispered.
"Go. Zhuqing hasn't come out, which means Zhuqing doesn't want to bother with him. It's a good time for us to go and help Zhuqing out," Shi Quan said calmly.
"You're really brave," Oscar chuckled.
"Little Ao, Zhuang Zhou." Dai Mubai heard the movement behind him and turned around, noticing the two figures. Oscar was fine, but when he saw Shi Quan's figure, Dai Mubai's expression clearly darkened.
Oscar smiled faintly and said, "Boss Dai, Zhuang Zhou came to ask Zhu Zhuqing to go to the dining hall for a meal. I had to bring him over."
"Does Zhuqing want to go to the dining hall together?"
Clang, the dormitory door opened, and Zhu Zhuqing's cold figure walked out of the dormitory. "Let's go."
"Okay." Shi Quan nodded with a smile.
Dai Mubai watched as he had called Zhu Zhuqing for a long time without success, yet Shi Quan came and called her out with just one sentence. Anger quickly surged in his chest.
Oscar looked at Dai Mubai's suppressed anger and couldn't help but stifle a laugh. He didn't dare laugh in front of Boss Dai, so he could only hold back his laughter and say, "Boss Dai, do you want to go to the dining hall with us?"
"No," Dai Mubai growled. If he went, wouldn't he look even more like a clown?
"Then we'll go first." Oscar quickly led Shi Quan away. After they had walked far enough, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen Boss Dai so deflated, it's too funny."
"Is it that happy?"
Oscar laughed, "You don't understand Boss Dai. He's a very arrogant and domineering person. He's used to being strong in his actions on weekdays. Besides the teachers, you're the first person to make him lose Face."
Shi Quan said with interest, "Oscar, why don't you tell us about this Dai Mubai?"
Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Oscar.
Oscar gave a lewd smile, "Boss Dai's background is not simple, he's very rich. As for his talent and strength, there's no need to mention them; anyone who can join the academy isn't weak. I call him and Ma Hongjun from his dormitory the 'Two Tyrants of the Brothels,' undefeated in all the flower gardens of the world. Their highest record is having three girlfriends at once, rushing to three dates in one day. Their famous motto is 'Women are not people, they are resources.' The speed at which those two change girlfriends is as fast as changing clothes, unlike me, a pure virgin boy."
"Filthy," Zhu Zhuqing coldly uttered two words.
"Is Ma Hongjun another student at the academy?" Shi Quan continued to guide.
"Ma Hongjun is the Dean's disciple. His Martial Spirit, we all call him a wild chicken…",
"Birds of a feather."
After listening to Oscar describe Ma Hongjun's situation, Zhu Zhuqing's expression became even colder. She had initially thought that Dai Mubai had been Cultivating diligently since coming here, striving to survive, but she never expected that he would indulge himself and frequent brothels every day after arriving here.
While chatting, the three also arrived at the dining hall. The food in the dining hall was exceptionally simple, with very little meat and mostly vegetarian dishes, and the variety of dishes was also very limited.
"Is the food here that bad?" Shi Quan asked with a frown.
"The academy's situation is just like this. If we want to eat better, we can only go to Soto City to cook for ourselves," Oscar waved his hand.
Shi Quan asked Oscar, "With such poor educational resources, how do you unearth students' potential?"
"The Dean has his way. You'll know when classes start," Oscar said with a smile.
Shi Quan shook his head and said, "Let's still go to Soto City to eat. The nutrition from the academy's food is too low. Spirit Master Cultivation and exercise require a certain level of nutrition, which is beneficial for a Spirit Master's Cultivation. Eating this every day is simply not conducive to Cultivation. To be honest, I'm getting more and more disappointed with Shrek Academy."
"The academy's conditions are just like this, there's nothing we can do." Oscar waved his hand, looking helpless. "As for Soto City, forget it. I don't have that much money. I still need to save up for a wife."
Shi Quan generously said, "It's fine, I'll treat you two. Zhuqing, you too."
"En." Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. After eating, Dai Mubai would definitely come to pester her again, so she might as well go to Soto City with Shi Quan to avoid Dai Mubai's entanglement.
"Then I won't be polite. I know a restaurant in Soto City that tastes pretty good, it's just the price…" Oscar chuckled, raising his hand to put it on Shi Quan's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm not short on money, we'll go to that one."
"Haha, then let's go. It seems our academy has another wealthy person. I'll just bask in the wealthy person's glory."
"Wealthy person is not quite accurate, just not short on money, that's all."
The three arrived in Soto City. After eating in the city, Oscar took the two to stroll around Soto City for the entire afternoon. It wasn't until after dinner, as night fell, that the three returned to the academy.
After Shi Quan and Oscar escorted Zhu Zhuqing back to her dormitory, the two then returned to their own dormitory.
The night passed without incident.
As Shi Quan expected, Tang Hao did not come to trouble him.
The next morning.
Oscar slept in. Shi Quan didn't bother him, called Zhu Zhuqing, and the two went to the dining hall together. As soon as they sat down, Ning Rongrong also arrived at the dining hall.
Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Where did you two go yesterday afternoon? I didn't see you at all."
"We went to Soto City. The academy's food is too poor, so we ate in Soto City," Shi Quan said.
Ning Rongrong nodded and said, "Indeed, the academy's food can't keep up with a Spirit Master's nutrition. It's not enough for a Spirit Master to just eat their fill; they also need sufficient nutrition to keep up with the consumption of training. Next time you go to Soto City, you can call me."
Having stayed at Heaven Dou Royal Academy for two years, Ning Rongrong's horizons had expanded considerably. Coupled with her habit of asking Shi Quan whenever she had doubts, and Shi Quan always answering, Ning Rongrong's Martial Spirit theory was also much stronger than that of ordinary Spirit Masters.
"En." Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Shi Quan also nodded with satisfaction. This little girl hadn't completely forgotten his teachings; she knew how to think and analyze.
The three were eating, and it wasn't long before.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, the four of them, also arrived at the dining hall. With the four together, Shi Quan naturally knew what had happened.
Because of their cooperation yesterday, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both nodded to the two.
Ma Hongjun's eyes went straight when he saw the girls. Dai Mubai quickly whispered a reminder, and the two immediately engaged in a private conversation.
Everyone quickly took their seats and began eating their breakfast.
The atmosphere on site was exceptionally quiet.
Dai Mubai coughed and took the initiative to break the silence, "Little Ao is probably sleeping in again. Besides Little Ao, I see everyone else is here. For a while, everyone will be living and studying together. Let's get to know each other. There's no need to mention Little Ao; you all met him yesterday. This Fatty is another student at our academy, named Ma Hongjun. His Martial Spirit is a grass… oh, no, it's a Phoenix."
Hearing Dai Mubai's introduction, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both glanced at Ma Hongjun, especially Zhu Zhuqing. She didn't say much, but when she heard the word Phoenix, she gave a sidelong glance.
Seeing Dai Mubai speak, Ma Hongjun also immediately inquired about yesterday's situation.
After a few casual chats, Dai Mubai also told Ma Hongjun the names and Martial Spirits of Shi Quan and the other four.
After the introductions, to foster closer relations among them, Dai Mubai asked everyone to simply call him Mubai. As for Ma Hongjun, they could call him Fatty, and Oscar could be called Little Ao or Big Sausage Uncle.
Xiao Wu's name remained unchanged, Ning Rongrong was to be called Rongrong, and Tang San was to be called Xiao San.
Hearing this address, Shi Quan couldn't help but smile. Xiao San was here, but where was his original partner?
When Dai Mubai's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing stood up, said "I'm full," and walked directly out.
"Me too." Saying that, Shi Quan also stood up and walked outside. He didn't want to stay there and listen to Dai Mubai's endless chatter.
He just wanted to wait for Oscar to Breakthrough to Level 30 tomorrow, and then go to Star Dou Great Forest.
Walking out of the dining hall, catching up to Zhu Zhuqing's figure, Shi Quan took the initiative to ask, "Zhuqing, you should know Dai Mubai, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing's figure paused slightly, and she looked at Shi Quan, saying, "How do you know?"
Shi Quan said softly, "Because of your names and Martial Spirits, you and Dai Mubai should be from Star Luo Empire, right?"
"You know?" Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly.
"I've heard about the internal struggle between the Hell Civet Family and the White Tiger Family. Failure means death. Did you come to Shrek to find Dai Mubai?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan, a bitter, self-mocking smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. "I did come here to find him, but I saw no hope in him, only self-degradation."
"You won't give up, will you?" Shi Quan asked.
"Who would be willing to give up their Life?" Zhu Zhuqing's emotions clearly became much more agitated. "But… but even if I try, what can I do? He has already given up."
Only disappointment and despair remained in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. The hope was already slim, and now Dai Mubai was willingly falling into depravity. How could she compete? How could she survive?
"Zhuqing, why do you have to rely on him? Since you've already come from Star Luo Empire to Heaven Dou Empire by your own ability, why don't you rely on your own ability to survive? Instead of placing your hope on others, why not believe in yourself? Heaven Dou Empire is so vast, can't you find a place to belong?"
"It's not that easy?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly and shook her head. She knew the strength of Star Luo Empire. If it weren't for the existence of Spirit Hall, Star Luo Empire would have already dominated the continent. No force on the entire continent would offend the entire Star Luo Empire for just one person….
