Chapter 42: Poor! But Ambitious! Zhou Qing and Tang San found the shop inside the Junior Soul Master Academy. Like in the previous life, there were shops selling goods in the Junior Soul Master Academy. The items sold were mainly daily necessities, snacks, and wooden weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds. Those wooden weapons are for students with corresponding martial spirits to practice with. Because releasing a martial soul requires the consumption of soul power, students with cold weapon martial souls will practice with wooden weapons before they become soul masters. As for iron... Most of them are controlled weapons. The Lord of Notting City and the Lord of the Spirit Hall do not allow such weapons to be sold on the market. The only ironware that can be sold in the city, apart from the necessary tools for life, are short knives, short swords, daggers, etc. The two of them each bought two sets of clean bedding and toiletries and went to Dormitory 7. Maybe it was because of the delay.
So when Zhou Qing and Tang San arrived at the seventh dormitory, Xiao Wu, who had a long braid, had already arrived and beat Wang Sheng so badly that he was bruised and battered. "Two more freshmen?" Xiao Wu twisted her head, rubbed her fists, and said with a smile, "You guys come together." "We are here to study, not to fight." Tang San was stunned for a moment by Xiao Wu's delicate face, but then he came to his senses and said so. “Well, just call me Sister Xiaowu and I’ll let you go.” Xiaowu also put down her fists, jumped up to the two of them, and looked up at them. Maybe because of the better food, Zhou Qing and Tang San, who were only six years old, had grown to be about meters tall, almost as tall as Wang Sheng, who was almost twelve years old. It's just that his face is still relatively immature. "Okay, Sister Xiaowu." "Understood, Sister Xiaowu." Zhou Qing and Tang San looked at each other and immediately shouted. Among them, Tang San didn't know the specific circumstances of this girl's intention to fight with them, but calling her "Sister Xiao Wu" could save unnecessary trouble, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. "What's wrong with you? You're so tall, but so timid." Xiao Wu pouted, but then said, "But since you two look similar to my two younger brothers, you can be my sister Xiao Wu's followers from now on. I, Xiao Wu, will protect you!" 【no! 】 [How do Tang San and I look like the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape? 】 Zhou Qing complained in his heart. "No problem, Sister Xiaowu, I'll leave the responsibility of taking care of us to you from now on." Zhou Qing, who was saying nice things, found an empty bed with Tang San and started to pack up. Seeing this, Xiao Wu suddenly remembered that she seemed to have no bedding? Seeing this, Wang Sheng, with a bruised face and nose, immediately offered his courtesy and said that he could give his bedding to Xiao Wu. Other part-time students also came over, carrying their own bedding.
But compared with Zhou Qing and Tang San's two new beddings, the beddings of these working students looked like they were dug out from a garbage dump. Although they were clean, they were yellow, black, and wrinkled. Xiao Wu naturally looked down on it. For this reason, he walked over to Zhou Qing and Tang San and asked, "You two look like you know each other. How about you lend me a set of bedding, and then put your beds together and use one quilt?" "Ok?" Zhou Qing asked, "You don't have any money?" "Uh... no." Xiao Wu realized that in the human world, everything needs soul coins to buy. She shook her head and said delicately, "That's why I borrowed from you." "You don't have any money. I'm afraid you can't even afford to buy food in the cafeteria before the college assigns you a work-study job. You'll have to starve." Zhou Qing showed a pitiful look, took out two bronze soul coins from his pocket and handed them over, "Here, go to the store in the college and buy a quilt. Just pay me back later." "Don't worry! With my ability, Xiao Wu, I can come back easily in the future!" Xiao Wu patted her chest which was as flat as an airport, happily took the two bronze soul coins, and skipped out of Dormitory 7. After Zhou Qing and Tang San made their beds, Wang Sheng came over and said to them, "Are you not part-time students?" "How did you figure that out?" Tang San was surprised. "We working students can't afford new bedding, so we bring them from home. Besides, we can't lend out two copper soul coins at once." Wang Sheng showed a proud look. The purchasing power of the copper soul coin is negligible for soul masters, but for ordinary people, one copper soul coin can buy half a kilogram of rice. Even though the prices in Notting City are relatively high, one copper soul coin, if saved, can allow a part-time student to eat three meals. "We are formal students who have paid tuition, but we are indeed from the countryside." Zhou Qing explained, "Since we are here to study, we feel that we cannot waste too much time on the cleaning tasks assigned by the college." "Is that so?" Wang Sheng's eyes became much friendlier. "Then your village should be quite wealthy, right?" "We are from Holy Soul Village." Tang San said. "Holy Soul Village, I heard from my grandfather that it is a village that produces a lot of grain, and it also produced a Soul Saint. No wonder you look so good." Wang Sheng and other part-time students were relieved, with envy in their eyes. But in fact, family members know their own business. Although every household in the Holy Soul Village had surplus food, they could not afford to support Zhou Qing and Tang San to become formal students. It was just that they were lucky enough to be "blessed" by the Soul Saint of the Holy Soul Village... "Who are Tang San and Zhou Qing?" At this moment, a somewhat hoarse voice was heard at the door. A middle-aged man with a somewhat decadent look appeared there, holding two quilts in his arms. "we are." Tang San raised his hand, a little surprised, "Are you the teacher who is here to assign work-study students? I have already paid the tuition, so I am not a work-study student. But there was a little girl just now, who should also be a new work-study student, but she went out to buy bedding." "No." The middle-aged man shook his head, walked up to Zhou Qing and Tang San, and said, "I have seen your information at Mo Hen's place. You are from the countryside, so I prepared bedding for you." "Thank you, but we already have bedding." Zhou Qing realized who the middle-aged man with a scruffy beard was. Yu Xiaogang! Because of my previous actions, the doorman didn't deliberately make things difficult for me, so I didn't meet him. I didn't expect that he would still come to me. [That's right! This guy has always wanted to prove himself, but he can't do it himself, so he can only find a child with excellent talent. It would be even better if this person is from a commoner. ] [Therefore, Yu Xiaogang will probably check the information of students admitted every year regularly while "living in seclusion" in Notting College.]
[But why Nottingham College? ] Zhou Qing immediately thought of the answer, that is, Yu Xiaogang knew the dean of Notting College, and they were old acquaintances... "It's okay, you can change them." Yu Xiaogang had no idea what Zhou Qing was thinking, and smiled as he handed over the two sets of bedding in his hands. But how could Zhou Qing do as he wished? Then he said righteously: "Teacher, you are insulting us!" Yu Xiaogang was stunned and asked in confusion: "Where did you get this from?" Zhou Qing said: "We come from the countryside and are poor, but we have ambitions. Our village chief grandfather also often teaches us to have dignity and not to accept charity from others casually!"
