Chapter 2730 Transmigrated to a Noble Academy as a Special Admission Student (13)

With the Stardust Festival approaching, the pace of classes at Asgard Academy has slowed down, various restrictions have been temporarily lifted, and free time has increased significantly.

Correspondingly, the number of StarCraft games has quietly increased, becoming the most popular pastime among students.

Interestingly, the three F4 members who remain at the academy recently seem to have made a pact not to act as notaries in any games anymore.

Private cafeteria.

Ling Yao sat at a small round table by the window, with untouched coffee and desserts in front of him.

He rested his chin on his hand, his fingertips tapping unconsciously, his gaze fixed on the floating road outside the window, appearing somewhat absent-minded.

"Handsome, why are you standing here all alone, lost in thought?"

A cheerful voice rang out, and Sith chuckled as he moved closer and sat down opposite Ling Yao.

Behind him, Eric followed with his head bowed and eyes lowered, standing to the side and behind Sith, skillfully concealing the resentment surging deep in his eyes.

Having learned his lesson, he can only be extremely cautious in front of Ling Yao now.

Ling Yao snapped out of his daze, a familiar smile spreading across his face. He ruffled Sith's brilliant blond hair. "What a coincidence, isn't this handsome guy waiting for you?"

Sith tilted his head as he was being rubbed, and clicked his tongue. "Waiting for me? Waiting for me so long you've lost your soul? You're so distracted, the coffee's almost cold."

Ling Yao sat up straight, picked up a small spoon and stirred the dark brown liquid in the cup haphazardly. "Who's out of their mind? No one is."

His gaze swept past Sith and landed on Eric behind him, giving him a disdainful look. It was clear that the guy had been thoroughly disciplined by Sith recently.

Ling Yao asked Eric, "Where's Jin Chen?"

Eric didn't dare to look up and meet Ling Yao's gaze, afraid that the suppressed hatred in his eyes would be revealed. He answered in a low voice, "...I don't know, he left a long time ago."

To be honest, Eric also found it strange.

Jin Chen's whereabouts are becoming increasingly mysterious, and he is completely unpredictable.

The pasta dish that Sis ordered, topped with rich cheese, was served. He picked up his fork, grinned, propped his cheek on his hand, and looked at Ling Yao, "Hmm... Yao."

"Have you been quite interested in that special admissions program lately?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao's first thought was of the out-of-control scenes from last night, which made him a little furious.

"Who's interested in him? He's just... a way to kill time."

His tone was dismissive, but his words were hesitant and unconvincing: "I just think he... is quite amusing."

Sith's gaze suddenly passed over Ling Yao and looked behind him. "Oh my."

Ling Yao felt a sudden tightness in his chest and instinctively turned around.

Jin Chen was standing a few steps behind him, his dark eyes holding a meaningful look.

Ling Yao's throat went dry. Watching Jin Chen approach, he opened his mouth, "I..."

Jin Chen had just stood next to Ling Yao and hadn't even had a chance to speak when a cold voice interrupted.

"Perfect timing, I was just looking for you."

Lin Baiyu had just come downstairs and walked straight toward their table. When he saw Jin Chen there, his eyes lit up slightly.

Jin Chen shifted her gaze from Ling Yao's somewhat bewildered face to Lin Baiyu, "What is it?"

Lin Baiyu said succinctly, "I'll take you to the military headquarters."

"You have the ability to kill two Atlantean Silver Armored Beasts on your own; this is your chance."

Lin Baiyu is right. For a special recruit like Jin Chen, if he can be recruited by the military in advance based on his performance this time, especially with his achievement of killing the Atlantean Silver Armor Beast, a star beast that even the military finds troublesome, he may even be able to enter the General Headquarters directly.

This will be a leap in social class, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

Eric, standing behind Sith, suddenly raised his head, looking at Jin Chen's back in disbelief, his eyes filled with twisted resentment and jealousy.

Why.

Both being specially admitted students, Jin Chen was able to obtain everything he had ever dreamed of so easily...

Ling Yao knew that Lin Baiyu was serious. Given the Lin family's influence and Lin Baiyu's personality, he would never make baseless accusations.

Hearing this news, he was still inexplicably concerned, because it meant that Jin Chen would belong to the Lin family from now on... no, not even from now on, as long as Jin Chen agreed to go to the military with Bai Yu.

Ling Yao couldn't understand himself what he cared about, or why he should care.

Jin Chen suddenly said, "If it's related to those two star beasts, then I'm sorry, I've already forgotten about it."

Several people were stunned.

Lin Baiyu frowned slightly. "What did you say?"

Jin Chen remained calm and immediately replied, "When we killed the last two star beasts, a strange mist appeared in the passage. After we came out, my senses were confused, and I don't remember what happened."

Lin Baiyu: "..."

He stared at Jin Chen, feeling that his words sounded full of loopholes and very strange. The mist was indeed strange, and he couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood. After all, the aftereffects of sensory confusion were varied and bizarre.

“…Alright, no rush.” Lin Baiyu seemed very patient with Jin Chen. “Then tomorrow I’ll take you to the General Hospital of the Military for a comprehensive physical examination to make sure there are no hidden problems.”

Jin Chen hesitated for a moment.

A physical examination... means that it will leave an official record in the military, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least it can prevent Eric and the mad scientist behind him from doing anything underhanded again.

Jin Chen nodded. "Okay."

Lin Baiyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and operated the terminal to schedule a time.

Jin Chen sat down in the empty seat next to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao glanced at Jin Chen out of the corner of his eye, still thinking about the gift he had mentioned last night, but Jin Chen didn't bring it up after a long time.

Ling Yao snorted inwardly, picked up his silver fork, and poked at the dessert in front of him in a fit of pique.

Lin Baiyu noticed the abnormality and looked over with a puzzled expression. "Ayao, are you feeling unwell?"

Ling Yao looked up, his eyes still a little blank. "Huh? What... Oh, nothing."

Sith and Lin Baiyu were silent for a moment, their gazes falling simultaneously on the dessert that had been poisoned.

Ling Yao followed their gaze and looked down.

Ling Yao: "..."

He awkwardly tossed aside his silver fork, saying, "The chef didn't do a good job today; it doesn't taste good."

Jin Chen, who hadn't participated much in the conversation, suddenly chuckled softly.

Ling Yao felt a tickle when he got close to his ear, so he turned his head and glared at him.

Sis, sitting opposite them...

Sis hissed, glancing at Ling Yao, who was clearly distracted and acting strangely, and then at Lin Baiyu, whose expression was indifferent but who had taken the initiative to invite Jin Chen and was exceptionally patient with him. His gossip-loving soul burned brightly.

He lowered his head and sent a message to Shi Heng, who hadn't returned to the academy yet.

The great artist from the West: Heng, A Yao, and Bai Yu seem to be interested in the same special admissions student!

Old Mother Heng: Jinchen?

The Great Sith Artist: How did you know that too!

Grandma Heng: After watching the previous maze live stream, the points-based betting was very noticeable.

Sith's Great Artist: Hahahaha, right? Only I'm sober~

The old lady said: "Your taste isn't as good as theirs."

Sith: "..."

He glanced at Eric, who stood meekly beside him, and curled his lip in disdain.
