Chapter 187: One Hundred Credits

Ed King can be considered as Lai’s senior, one year ahead of Lai, and now he’s staying at Jiuzhou University as a professor, if he’s not teaching students, he’s nestled in the lab doing research.He once had a female he really liked, plus they grew up together.

Unfortunately, the horse was interested, but the plum had no feelings.

When Ed King was young, he even acted like a simp, wholeheartedly wanting to become the beast husband of his little childhood sweetheart.

But the other party was just stringing him along, treating him like a backup.

When Lai was studying at Jiuzhou University, he happened to witness Ed King getting the cold shoulder a few times.

He had long seen that the female wasn’t serious about Ed King, but he wasn’t someone who meddled in others’ affairs.

It’s just sometimes, by chance, he ended up witnessing Ed King looking quite humble in front of the female, also saw him crying his heart out hidden in the corner.

Ed King resented Lai, partly because Ed King’s mentor happened to clash with Lai’s mentor, and Ed King’s mentor often wished Ed King was more competent!

Another reason, which Lai thought was the most important, is because he constantly stumbled upon Ed King at his most pathetic moments.

That’s how fated rivalry starts.

Lai didn’t want to witness it, yet he just happened to run into it.

As for Ed King owing Lai a favor, it was also because of Ed King’s childhood sweetheart.

That female had grand aspirations, aiming to marry into nobility.

She wasn’t a student at Jiuzhou University, just at a private school relatively nearer to Hollow City, which wasn’t very prestigious, as most of the kids there got in with money.

Moreover, the female that Ed King liked, didn’t have a great family background, yet she was buying all brands to decorate herself using the money Ed King got from his patents, and meanwhile, disdaining Ed King’s poor family background.

Ed King eventually broke it off with his childhood sweetheart because she toyed with Ed King and even stole his research achievement to be with a noble young master.

Trying to retrieve his research, Ed King was severely humiliated by the couple and got beaten up hard!

He felt utterly disheartened and almost went to the sea to end it all.

By coincidence, Lai was passing by and pulled him back from the sea, watching him cry a river!

When facing outsiders, Lai didn’t really have a great temper, seeing Ed King behaving so desperately, he slapped him four to five times.

The slaps were so loud, Ed King was dazed, and Lai also furiously scolded him for being dumb and questioned if his beastial self was a pig.

"When you used to talk tough to me, weren’t you quite arrogant? Now being dumped, you turn into a turtle? Even allowing your patents to be stolen, no wonder you keep losing to me."

"If you want to die, don’t die in this sea, as I swim around here often, don’t pollute this water."


Ed King almost threw a tantrum on the ground, "Lai, are you even human! I just got dumped! Not only do you not comfort me, you beat me up! You despise me!"

"..." Lai looked at him disdainfully, turned his back, and walked away.

Ed King was completely stunned, "Lai! You actually ignored me!"

"Waaah—" Ed King directly squatted on the beach crying, "Do you all look down on me?"

"I’m telling you! I’m going to die here, so you’ll never dare to swim here!"

"Childish..." Lai stood still, glanced back at him, and opened his Light Brain to take pictures of his hysterical look.

"If you dare to die in this sea, preventing me from having a peaceful place to swim, I’ll send these pictures out, let everyone see how Jiuzhou University’s Ed King gets stuck due to love, becomes mad with love..."

Ed King was dumbfounded, watching Lai take several more photos of him!

"Lai! I’m going to fight you!" Ed King was truly someone with a sense of pride, distinguishing clearly between being seen by only Lai and by a crowd!

He no longer dared to die, but increasingly liked to compete with Lai, turning into a bitter rivalry, and almost the entire school knew Ed King and Lai didn’t get along.

If someone didn’t know, they might think Lai had snatched his girlfriend.

At the same time, in order not to let Lai look down on him, he cut ties with his childhood sweetheart entirely, and reclaimed his patents!

Later, his childhood sweetheart suddenly realized, those noble young gentlemen didn’t really fancy her, they also toyed with her just like she did with Ed King, treating her as amusement. Besides, without Ed King’s financial backing, she simply couldn’t afford the luxurious life she used to have!

She regretted it and came running back to Ed King, but Ed King outright refused her, no longer seeing her.

"I’m not an idiot!"

Again, Lai coincidentally witnessed Ed King’s childhood sweetheart coming to reconcile.

After rejecting his childhood sweetheart, Ed King proudly walked over to Lai, boldly telling him the sentence "I’m not an idiot," leaving Lai speechless for a moment.

"Lai, just you wait! Someday, I’ll surpass you! By then, you must delete those photos of mine!" Ed King once again threw down harsh words and turned to leave!

Perhaps it was true that with no love, there comes natural success, as Ed King actually beat Lai.

The scene from that day, Lai still remembers it clearly.

How to put it, just like a rooster who just won a fight, raising its chin to the sky.

"Hey! I beat you! Quickly delete those photos of mine!"

Lai was at a loss for words, "When did I ever promise that I’d delete the photos if you won?"

Ed King nearly split open, gritting his teeth glaring at Lai, "You! Don’t push it too far! Believe it or not..."

Lai raised an eyebrow.

"Believe it or not I... I’ll cry to show you!" Ed King didn’t know if he was that angry, his eyes even turned red.

"That’s just perfect, I’ll have new material then."

Ed King was taken aback by Lai’s shamelessness, "You... cold-blooded! Heartless! You’re not human!"

He was so angry that he really wanted to cry, but he didn’t dare, fearing Lai would record him again!

"What does it take for you to delete the photos!"

Lai directly extended his hand towards him.

"What?"

"A hundred bucks," Lai said.

Ed King was stunned there.

"Forget it if you don’t want to."

"Who said that!" Ed King immediately transferred a hundred bucks to Lai!

"Alright, I transferred it, delete them quickly! I want to watch you delete them myself!" Otherwise, he wouldn’t believe it!

Lai took the money but turned and walked away.

"Hey!" Ed King widened his eyes, "You’re tricking me!"

"The photos took up space, I deleted them long ago." Who would keep a few ugly photos in their album to be an eyesore?

"Then why did you take my money! What’s this for?" Ed King was so angry he jumped up!

"Consider it a lesson, fool..."
