In a street-side restaurant, many patrons turned their attention to a table in the far corner. A young man sat there, his expression blank, surrounded by a mountain of empty plates and bowls that nearly obscured him from view. In front of him, a small creature continued to shake, occasionally emitting sounds of enthusiastic munching.
Lin Han felt a throbbing pain at the back of his head as he stared at the scene before him, his face darkening with despair. The creature, known as Shattered Star, had already consumed enough food to satisfy five adults, leaving Lin Han feeling lightheaded.
However, Shattered Star Beast paid no mind to its owner's astonishment and hopelessness, continuing to devour its meal with gusto. When it came time to settle the bill, the restaurant owner looked on in surprise.
"That'll be two thousand four hundred and fifty-five points," he said. "What kind of beast is this? It may be small, but its appetite is astonishing."
Lin Han's hand trembled as he reached for his wallet, a bitter expression crossing his face. "Do you accept cash?" he asked.
The restaurant owner smiled warmly. "You look like a student from the academy. We only accept academy points here; cash isn't an option."
"Alright then," Lin Han thought, feeling as if his heart were bleeding. He still had some Star Dragon Coins and plenty in his bank card, but his academy points were running low.
He glanced at the creature that had now jumped onto his shoulder and promptly closed its eyes, falling into a deep sleep. Lin Han felt an overwhelming urge to squeeze it until it popped. At this rate, he would be driven to bankruptcy by this little glutton.
"Lin Han? Is that really you?" A voice interrupted his thoughts, causing him to raise an eyebrow in recognition.
The speaker was Lin Hao, a senior with whom he had crossed paths before. Lin Han didn't hesitate; there was no need for excessive formality when it came to mutual assistance.
Lin Hao took care of the bill with some reluctance but managed to settle it before leaving the restaurant alongside Lin Han.
"Idol, I can't believe you spent over two thousand points just on snacks," Lin Han said, scratching his head a bit awkwardly as they walked together down the street.
Lin Hao took the opportunity to strike up a conversation. "I heard you participated in the rescue operation in Wu City recently?"
"You know about that?" Lin Han replied, surprised.
"Of course! The news spread throughout the academy. There are even construction-related missions regarding Wu City now."
Lin Han fell silent at the mention of Wu City. The image of the ruined streets flashed through his mind, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. His enmity with the cult had been solidified; if he encountered them again, he would not hesitate to eliminate them.
"Idol, could you share what happened back then? If you're willing to post it on the academy forum, many people would be interested," Lin Hao suggested eagerly.
Lin Han's expression darkened as he shook his head. "Please don’t call me 'idol' anymore; just call me Lin Han. The tragedy of Wu City is something no one wants to see. We signed a confidentiality agreement with the academy regarding this matter, so it's not convenient to disclose it."
Lin Hao looked a bit disappointed but nodded in understanding. He quickly changed the subject. "Then Lin Han, give me your contact information. If there's ever a chance to help out, I will definitely be there without hesitation!"
Lin Han didn't refuse; after all, Lin Hao had just treated him to a meal. He exchanged contact details before Lin Hao bid farewell and left.
As he watched the sky grow noticeably darker, Lin Han took a deep breath and thought, It’s time to head back.
Pushing open the door to his dormitory, he was greeted by Xue Wushuang's laughter, which sounded almost delirious.
"Hehe, Da Miao, you're so soft! It feels so nice to touch!"
