"Hello, new student registration!"
As a local tyrant, Carter was quite good at gathering information and being familiar with the route. He led Wu Ming through the encirclement and came to the last window.
"Steven Sterling!"
Wu Ming reported his name.
"Hmm, let me see …"
The woman behind the window flipped through the register. "Yes, indeed, from Yinchao City, recommended student of St. George High School! A little genius! "
She sized up Wu Ming with some surprise in her eyes. After all, guaranteed students were generally more outstanding than those who passed the exams.
"The tuition and miscellaneous fees for a year are 500 gold dollars. Do you want to apply for a dormitory? Or you can rent a room outside the school. "
"Is there a single room in the dormitory?"
Wu Ming frowned.
"No!"
"Then I'll rent a room outside!"
The degree of freedom in university was obviously higher than that in primary and secondary schools, which made Wu Ming very satisfied.
After paying, he received his curriculum and professional textbook catalogue — he had to buy these books himself.
"Thank you, Senior Carter!"
Wu Ming was quite satisfied that he could save time. Carter, who received the reward, was even more satisfied. "Junior!"
He didn't put down his hand that was holding Wu Ming's luggage. He rolled his eyes. "You still need to find a dormitory outside. How about I recommend you one?"
"I prefer peace and quiet. I don't want to share a room!"
Wu Ming stated his request.
"No problem. Madam Lina's apartment building will definitely satisfy you. She can also provide you with cleaning and food services!"
Carter snapped his fingers, looking very excited. Wu Ming didn't need to think to know that he must have a commission.
"Let's go and have a look first!"
But he really didn't care about this. He said immediately.
"Okay, right away!"
Carter couldn't believe that he met such a straightforward guy. "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
A person who could fight his way out of thousands of enemies shouldn't be so naive.
"Hehe …"
Wu Ming chuckled. Through his senses, he knew that the person in front of him did not have any ill intentions. Even if he did, he would not be the one to worry about it.
"Let's go!"
Carter was a little puzzled, but he still brought Wu Ming away from the campus and went to an apartment building next to the school.
"Madam Liana, I've brought you a tenant!"
Carter's loud voice could be heard all around.
"Please come in!"
The door opened, and a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties came out to greet them.
"This is the house my husband left me. It's very spacious and soundproof. This time, I'm planning to rent out one of the floors. It has a separate bedroom, living room, bathroom …"
Mrs. Lina was wearing a black dress that looked a little shabby. Obviously, her financial situation was not very good.
After Wu Ming looked inside and out, he was quite satisfied.
"The monthly rent is 10 gold coins. If you sign a one-year contract, you can get a discount of 5 gold coins. If you need services, the fees will be extra!"
Madam Liana quoted the price. When she mentioned the word services, she blushed slightly, as if she was a woman who was easily embarrassed.
Wu Ming glanced suspiciously at Carter next to him. This guy smiled awkwardly, but he didn't say much.
"Alright! As long as you can show me the ownership certificate of this apartment, I'll sign a one-year contract! "
He still had to take precautions.
"Of course, I can show you the original copy of the legal documents now!"
Madam Liana immediately became happy and left, swaying her hips.
"Hey!"
Wu Ming approached Carter, "This madam's services aren't as simple as cleaning, right?"
"Hehe … This is called taking what we need!"
Carter returned a tacit look, which made Wu Ming curl his lips. He wanted to be speechless.
…
After deciding on the apartment and making a trip to the bookstore, Wu Ming bought all the university textbooks according to the catalog. Then, his university life began.
The environment here was more relaxed than in high school, giving him more time to train and study the God's Space.
As the courses and classrooms were not fixed, even the students in the class could not recognize each other.
However, Wu Ming discovered that his classmates seemed to have some small careers. There were also a few who were clearly middle-aged. He did not know if they were here to further their studies or to expand their network.
His classmates also remembered him as a fellow who was always in a hurry and did not participate in any group activities.
After obtaining the God's Space, Wu Ming felt that he should change his future plans.
Even his plans to graduate from university and enter the upper class of society were no longer that important. Skipping classes had become a common occurrence. If it weren't for his excellent grades and the fact that he had never missed an exam, he would have received a warning long ago.
"This is a lazy fellow who is good at using the rules! Perhaps he is also busy with some business! "
This was his classmate's evaluation of him.
Wu Ming was indeed very busy. He not only had to control the industry in Yinchao City, but also had to command the actions of the Seductive Fox Dia. Finally, he had to communicate with Captain Victor of Port Victoria about the plans and goals of the new company. The most important thing was his own progress.
"The construction progress of the God's Space is really too backward …"
A few months later, in an apartment building, Wu Ming lay on the bed, seemingly in a daze, but in fact, he was focused and observing the progress of the God's Space.
"Butler, show me the data!"
He called out softly, and the AI butler projected a piece of data in front of him:
[God's Space]
[Owned Area: Smart Brain Area, Divine Kingdom Area, Unnamed Area]
[Number of Petitioners: 3,226]
[Spiritual Power Storage: 28751 units]
…
After such a long time, he had caught a few wandering souls and thrown them into the Divine Kingdom to become petitioners. After the huge consumption last time, his spiritual power storage had finally started to slowly recover.
"The early investment and training of Reincarnators is basically a loss-making business, especially using the illusory fairyland … Therefore, the most important thing now is to collect spiritual power. Petitioners are the key, but it's a pity that it's too difficult to find high-quality souls that meet the requirements. Not everywhere can there be something as good as Specter Ship …"
Wu Ming touched his chin, thinking that if he asked Victor to go out to sea to find Specter Ship, would the captain think that he was crazy?
"In terms of the source of spiritual power, petitioners are superior in that they are hidden and safe, but the number they can produce is far less than that of living people …"
Wu Ming muttered to himself, "It seems that it's necessary to reach out to the real world!"
He already had a vague plan in mind, and was prepared to try to implement it after a period of time.
"Mr. Steven, dinner is ready!"
At this moment, Lady Lina knocked on the door and said in a gentle voice.
"Okay! I'll be right out! "
Wu Ming answered and climbed out of bed, yawning as he went downstairs.
He let Lady Lina take care of his three meals and daily cleaning. Her cooking was clearly worth the price, but there was one thing that made Wu Ming feel strange.
From this apartment and other aspects, Lady Lina's late husband should have left her a large sum of money, enough for her to live a comfortable life. However, for some reason, she often seemed to be in a difficult situation.
"Lady Lina, do you have any problems recently? Do you need my help?"
After eating the steak, Wu Ming suddenly asked while drinking borscht.
"Wh … What?"
Lady Lina shuddered, her hands twisting the hem of her skirt uneasily. "Mr. Steven, why do you say that?"
Wu Ming pointed at her shoulder. There was an obvious bruise near her neck.
"Oh, it's nothing, thank you!"
Madam Lian Na covered her face in an extremely unnatural manner. She then carried her bread into the room. Wu Ming's amazing perception allowed him to hear the faint sound of sobbing.
Wu Ming sighed.
This woman seemed to be in need of money, but she had never thought about spending money on his meals. From a certain aspect, she had a good character.
"For the sake of this delicious food, if she asks for help, I'll help her!"
That's great. Perhaps I can use her as the first test subject for my plan! "
Wu Ming happily made his decision. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and saw Lady Lina arranging the tableware. She did not look like she had cried at all.
"Mr. Steven, I'll be going out for a while!"
At night, Lady Lina suddenly looked uneasy. She looked at Wu Ming in the living room and got up to leave.
"You don't have to be so polite. After all, I'm the tenant!"
Wu Ming smiled and continued reading the newspaper. "Madam, please go and do what you need to do!"
After Lady Lina left, Wu Ming thought for a moment before getting up and walking out.
With his skills, he would not be able to notice a weak woman. However, when he passed by Bi Nafu University, a sneaky figure followed him, causing Wu Ming to reveal a strange expression.
"Carter!"
Wu Ming suddenly appeared behind the black figure and patted his shoulder.
The black figure instantly jumped up and bit his right hand fiercely. Thankfully, he did not make a sound.
"You scared me to death!"
Carter lowered his voice and looked at the beautiful figure in front of him. He made a shushing gesture.
"It's fine. She won't notice. I think we should have a good talk!"
Wu Ming curled up the corners of his lips into a smile. "It's about Lady Lina. You obviously don't want her to see this, right?"
"That's right!"
Carter held his head. He had always been a shrewd person, but now he looked a little haggard.
"Come, let's go to a coffee shop and have a chat!"
Wu Ming placed his hands in his pockets. Judging from Lady Lina's condition, this would not be something that would last for a day or two. There was no need for him to be anxious.
"Perhaps, I can help you!"
"Alright!"
It was unknown whether Carter saw hope or simply wanted to find someone to talk to, but he agreed immediately.
