"Senior Sister … Morning!" Li Xiang tiptoed toward the inner room, but unfortunately, he was still pulled back by the back of his collar.
"Morning my ass. It's already past dinner time. Why are you running away? Do you think I'll eat you up!" Villet was angry and forced him to the dining table. "Eat first and try my cooking. We'll talk after that."
Li Xiang pursed his lips. He could see the graceful curves of Villet's body under her transparent silk pajamas as soon as he looked up. Her careless movements were a feast for his eyes. This meal was destined to be a torturous one.
But just as he started eating, Li Xiang was captured by the sumptuous and delicious food on the table. He, who often wandered from place to place, rarely had the chance to eat such a home-cooked meal. He could not help but think of the days when he and his sister depended on each other for survival.
It had to be said that Villet's cooking was excellent. It was just that she also wore a black veil mask when eating. She had to lift the veil every time she ate, which drove Li Xiang crazy.
Clearly, this level of concealment should not be enough to cover her appearance, but there seemed to be a strange magic that prevented him from seeing Villet's face clearly.
It was only then that Li Xiang realized that he did not know Villette's true appearance up until now.
After he voiced his doubts, the senior sister opposite him chuckled and replied, "This is a magic artifact with the ability to conceal one's appearance. You have to know that as an assassin, if your true appearance is exposed, it's a very dangerous thing! "
When it came to her profession, Villet's voice became much more serious.
After eating his fill, Li Xiang saw Villet purposely get close to him. He knew that he was going to be tricked again.
Although this senior sister would often use very vulgar words and provocative actions, after a few interactions, she actually did not appear to be that wanton.
Villet was very clear about her outstanding physical condition and her attractiveness to the opposite sex. She would intentionally or unintentionally use this advantage in communication, but she would not overdo it. This was clearly something that she had been specially trained for.
"Say it, Senior Sister. We're going to drag this out until dawn." Li Xiang couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't mind a little flirtatious, but for a cultivation maniac and a prospective college student who had just squandered a lot of GPA, cultivation was the most important thing to him.
Villette clasped her hands together and knelt at his feet. She asked in an incomparably charming voice, "Then, Junior Li Xiang, can you reduce the interest of the 100 contribution points you borrowed from me …?"
Here it comes, here it comes. Li Xiang had already guessed it. This 10% interest was ridiculously high, and he did not expect Villette to give it to him.
"Uh, this …" Li Xiang pretended to be in a difficult position.
Villet seemed to have expected this. She hugged his hand and stuffed it into her chest, saying sweetly, "Aiya, I know you're at a disadvantage, but Senior Sister here has a few good channels to make it up to you."
"What channels?" Li Xiang felt the warmth and softness, but he was extremely vigilant. In her eyes, Li Xiang saw a senior that he was terrified of — Zhang Xixi.
"The military." Villette smiled maliciously. She gradually tightened her grip so that he could not break free. Then, she told him everything.
After hearing this, Li Xiang was enlightened. It was indeed another trap!
There were too many tricks in the university!
To put it simply, Villette was still seeking benefits for herself. However, she needed Li Xiang's help, and she could also provide him with many benefits.
Her so-called military channel was the border military on the other side of the Dead Sea. The troops there were in a state of battle all year round, and the consumption of weapons and equipment was extremely high. The supplies from the inland were fixed twice a month. At the beginning and end of the month, if there were no special circumstances, the airship would not be used for emergency transportation. This way, the replenishment speed could not keep up with the consumption rate.
This was also because of the conflict between the two factions in the military. The situation was extremely complicated, and the person in charge of the equipment center could not serve the border well.
Therefore, the border military would cooperate with the mechanical engineering majors of the universities near the border to purchase weapons and equipment made by students at a relatively low price.
"Made by students? As far as I know, most of the students in the mechanical engineering major are not Mechanics. The quality of the weapons and equipment they make is even worse than the ones sold on the black market. This is sending the border troops to their deaths! " Li Xiang had heard of the tragic situation at the border before. There was even a saying in the military that 'I would rather die than serve at the border troops'. This showed how difficult it was at the border.
However, he did not expect that as the first line of defense in Calamity City, the place that faced the most direct battle, even the weapons and equipment supplies could not keep up with the consumption rate!
"Sigh, this problem is too complicated. Back then, we didn't quite understand it, but we gradually understood it later." Villette looked at him and suddenly lowered her voice. "Ahem, since you've agreed, I'll make an exception and secretly tell you some things. You can't go around telling others, and you can't say that you heard it from me!"
Wait, when did I agree to this? Li Xiang cursed in his heart, but he knew that he could not refuse, so he silently agreed.
"I heard that the biggest resistance comes from White King."
"White King?"
"Shh, lower your voice!"
White King was the strongest human player. Why would he be so harsh on the border troops?
"This is also what I heard from the people at the border. Do you know the true structure of the border troops? Some interns, graduates from the Military University of China with no background, soldiers who were transferred to the border, and a group of people with problems. "
"Is there a problem?" Li Xiang immediately caught the sensitive point.
"Yes, in fact, the border troops are very strong. The reason they can work together with the Great Wall of Calamity City with players is because of this group of people with problems. They brought a group of students with no background and came here for an internship to fight at the border. They will never be able to make a name for themselves. This group of people came from various places and various forces, but if we trace their origins, without exception, they were all directly or indirectly exiled by the Bai family. "
Villette's voice gradually became heavy, and her expression was extremely solemn.
"They are all people who are considered problematic by the Bai family. As for what the problem is, even they themselves don't know. But the only thing they are sure of is that they will either die in battle or die of old age in their lifetime. There is no hope of them returning to a human gathering place in this lifetime! "
Li Xiang was shocked. If the Bai family believed that there was a problem, they would be "shields" for the rest of their lives to block disaster for the people inside? They didn't even give a reason? They didn't even have a basic guarantee!
This …
"What if they become players?" Li Xiang remembered that Lélie had mentioned that he had seen someone become players after being tempered by the flames of war.
"Then they will be sent to the Great Wall of Calamity City to be night watchmen until they die in battle." Villette's voice was extremely cold.
This was a dead end.
The two of them were silent.
Was the Bai family's power so terrifying? Only that person was capable of making the players unable to resist. But why?
After a long while, Villette suddenly burst into laughter. "Aiya, how did we end up talking about such a heavy topic? Anyway, I'm in my third year now. I already worked with the border troops in my second year. They don't really like the weapons and equipment made by students, so I'm in charge of purchasing resources from other sources. They use military resources to trade. It's a win-win situation for us. "
The only thing the border troops didn't lack was Origin Substance resources.
This portion of military resources was provided by Wessex, and there was an endless supply. Unfortunately, they were all people with money but no life to spend it.
"I'll tell you the truth. The senior I worked with before graduated and left. Now, the people I know in Chess College are all average. Those who are strong enough aren't willing to work with me. I've checked. Junior, you're also from Chess College's Firearms Department, and you're also from the Polar night Serpent Machinery Department, right? "
Being investigated was Li Xiang's biggest taboo, but Villette's frank announcement made him feel slightly less disgusted. However, his expression was still extremely bad.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry. I know you hate this, so I'll accompany you for the night!" Villette kept apologizing. Actually, she didn't need to be so humble. Even if she wanted to use force, Li Xiang wouldn't be able to resist with his current strength. However, she didn't want to use her status and strength to pressure others.
This was because she really wanted to get to know Li Xiang better.
Li Xiang was someone who was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. He sighed and didn't refuse or agree. Instead, he asked, "But I'm also a student, and a newcomer with no experience at all. Do you trust me?"
"No, you're underestimating yourself too much. Two points. First, you have connections with the Serpent Machinery Department. In the future, we can purchase from you and then sell at a high price. The difference in profits is enough for us to make a profit. It's a win-win situation. Second, you probably don't know this, but before you've officially enrolled, your name has already spread throughout Chess College. The dean will personally guide you, and all of your professional courses will be taught by him. "
"Sir Director, he's a very powerful gunner." Villette chuckled and jumped onto the sofa to hug Li Xiang. "Think about it carefully. Isn't this a win-win situation for both of us? I know that I didn't inform you in advance and deliberately used some tricks to make you unhappy, but you can't reject me, can you? "
At this point, everything was clear. It also allowed Li Xiang to settle the matter that had been hanging in his heart all this time — how could he quickly use his mechanical talent and Serpent Machinery Department to create resources and wealth?
Villette said as she unbuttoned her silk transparent pajamas. At the last button, Li Xiang held her down and gently pushed her away.
"I agree to work with you, but I appreciate your kindness. I have a girl I like." Li Xiang smiled.
Villette was obviously stunned. She immediately shrank to the side of the sofa and suddenly picked up the remaining red wine on the table and downed it in one gulp.
After a slight blush appeared on her face, she smiled faintly.
She packed up her things, and her mood was inexplicably much better. However, before she left, she suddenly asked, "Do you think it's cheap of me to use my body as a bargaining chip all day long?"
Li Xiang shook his head, then nodded.
He did not think it was cheap. This was also one of the methods. After all, the other party could not always be as weak as he was. However, he was also very curious as to why Villette would do this.
What was she after? Something that could make her go to this extent.
It was definitely not as simple as not having enough GPA to graduate.
"Li Xiang, actually, when your name appeared on the freshmen list, I had my eyes on you." Villette suddenly chuckled. "The final ranking of fourth place, Lord Night Shadow personally pleaded for you, the awakening of the Death Magic Circuit, and so on. Just some of the things that I was able to investigate are enough to prove that you are extraordinary. If I said that everything that happened from the moment we met until now was all part of my plan, would you believe me? "
"Yes, I have a feeling."
"Just now, you wanted to ask me why I was so obsessed with the border business that was not very profitable but was quite troublesome, right? Because I was also born a commoner. Or rather, Li Xiang, do you know? Most people with a background like ours, even if they came to such a famous school, would be at the bottom of the pack. We would never be able to catch up to those famous families in our entire lives. At the same time, they would not bother to associate with us. They would fundamentally hate our background. "
"This is something that I experienced deeply in the ultimate trial." Li Xiang nodded.
"Yes. Do you know why I didn't look for people from other Chess Academy? I know quite a few big shots in the Chess Academy's student union, but their faces disgusted me. They look down on me and the border. In their inherent consciousness, the border is the people abandoned by the White King. Their only value is to help them resist disasters. They are disdainful and unwilling to do this kind of business. We were born as commoners and are naturally one step weaker than others in school. Therefore, I envy you, really envy you, whether it is your talent or your opportunities. "
Villette sighed. She could not stop now that she had said this. If she did not say it, nothing would have happened. However, if she completely pointed it out, it was very likely that her relationship with Li Xiang would end.
However, she did not know why, but she suddenly could not hold it in.
Perhaps it was too tiring to wear a mask.
"Yes, Lighthouse Academy has always adhered to the [Lighthouse Philosophy], advocating equality and self-sacrifice for everyone. However, some things are inherited in the bones. If you don't change this world, you won't be able to break it. Your noble classmate can indeed confide in you and become close friends, but he can't change his habit of unconsciously wiping his handkerchief after shaking your hand, etc. "
"Sorry, I've said too much. I hope that before you give up on the border business, you can consider going to see their lives and give me an answer." Villette let out a long sigh and revealed a bright smile again. "It's much better to say it out loud. I'll return your 100 Contribution Points to you as soon as possible. The 10 Contribution Points interest won't be less. "
"No, I promise you."
"Mm, it's alright … What did you say?"
"I said that I agree to work with you. I don't want the interest, and I don't want the 100 Contribution Points either." Li Xiang smiled. From the beginning, when he knew that he was working for the border troops, he did not reject it. It was not for anything else, but because he wanted to understand this group of people. After seeing Lighthouse for the first time and learning about the history of this world, he respected this group of people very much who had always used their own shoulders to carry humanity forward without any complaints or regrets.
Especially Wang Chongyue and the others. Even though they knew that they were going to die, they still carried out the mission with determination.
He accepted Lighthouse, accepted the Polar night, and would definitely accept the border.
"Thank you, Li Xiang." Villette walked back and gave him a warm bear hug. This time, he really felt the sincerity.
"Also, this is actually my first time."
