21: I am indeed poor!

The morning passed quickly.

Cafeteria.

Guo Feng, Luo Juan, and Liu Qiang met up in the cafeteria.

They had just sat down for a bit when Zhang Xi, Lu Qiaoqiao, and Zhao Liang walked over.

"Oh, Guo Feng, why aren't you eating Qinghui anymore? Ran out of money, right?"

Zhang Xi spared no effort, loudly declaring, "I told you you were just putting on a front!"

Liu Qiang immediately cursed, "crew got tired of it, can't crew try something new? What are you making a fuss about, have you ever even eaten it?"

"Heh, just being stubborn!"

Zhang Xi sneered.

Guo Feng, however, waved his hand, stopping Liu Qiang, and looked at Zhang Xi, saying, "You're right, I really am short on money lately."

"Haha, finally admitting it, are we?"

Zhang Xi felt so elated inside, he wished he could drag everyone over to mock Guo Feng for pretending to be rich when he was broke!

Zhao Liang, however, frowned. Something felt off; this was Guo Feng, after all!

Indeed.

Guo Feng then smiled and said, "Yes, I have to admit, I've been spending a bit too much money lately."

"I need to save every penny to afford a mid-grade spiritual energy villa."

"Sigh."

He looked at Zhang Xi, "You're so loud, you should be able to buy a mid-grade spiritual energy villa quite easily, right?"

"What?! A mid-grade spiritual energy villa?!"

Zhang Xi hadn't reacted yet, but Zhao Liang exclaimed, "Impossible! I just had my dad ask, and spiritual energy properties are controlled by the state now! Not to mention the exorbitant prices, mid-grade spiritual energy villas start at one hundred million, and even if you have the money, you can't buy one!"

"One hundred million?!"

"Spiritual energy villa?!"

"Guo Feng bought a villa?!"

Zhao Liang's voice wasn't quiet, and those around him heard it, letting out gasps of surprise!

Spiritual energy properties had already been promoted by official channels these past two days.

So, everyone knew a little about them.

How could this not be shocking?

"No, that's impossible!"

Zhang Xi's ecstatic face instantly froze, and he looked at Guo Feng with an incredulous expression, "You, you're talking nonsense! Zhao Liang's family has billions in assets, and he can't buy one, how could you? Bragging!"

"Heh."

Guo Feng chuckled, "I didn't spend one hundred million."

He paused, then added, "I rendered meritorious service, and the state gave me a preferential price, only fifty million."

"Holy cow, fifty million is still a lot! What kind of background does Guo Feng have, anyway?"

"And also, rendering meritorious service is equivalent to the state rewarding fifty million!"

"Too tired to say I'm envious!"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding students exclaimed in admiration.

"Sigh..."

Guo Feng looked at Zhang Xi and sighed, "Zhang Xi, you're right, I'm poor, and I probably won't be able to afford Qinghui for a long time. I really envy you, having the chance to eat Qinghui."

"Oh, wait."

He looked serious, "Zhang Xi, you wouldn't even be able to afford Qinghui, would you?"

"Guo Feng!!"

Zhang Xi was so angry he was panting, his face flushed red.

He gave off a feeling that he was about to explode on the spot.

He clenched his fists.

Zhao Liang, however, pulled him back: "Zhang Xi, don't get angry with this small-minded person who's gotten a bit too cocky. An E-grade trash talent, he'll be trampled under your feet one day."

He said, looking at Guo Feng, "This afternoon, our special training class is choosing a class leader. Whoever has the biggest fist calls the shots. If you have the guts to be a coward, don't step forward to run, otherwise, I will definitely challenge you!"

He then pointed at Zhang Xi, "Zhang Xi can also challenge you!"

"You just wait for me!"

Zhang Xi was almost suffering from internal injuries due to anger, and he glared at Guo Feng, roaring.

Then, the group walked away dejectedly.

"These bastards, they just have to humiliate themselves!"

Liu Qiang felt a burst of pleasure, then looked at Guo Feng, "Old Guo, was what you just said true?"

"It's true. Once I get the house, you can live with me."

Guo Feng said casually to Liu Qiang.

"Huh? Old Guo?!"

Liu Qiang looked indignant, "I treat you like a brother, but you covet my body! This is... exactly what I wanted!"

Pfft—

Luo Juan watched the two idiots bickering from the side, laughing so hard she was bent over.

But then, Liu Qiang suddenly said, "Beautiful Luo, why don't you also come live with us? It's a villa anyway! We can't waste the spiritual energy!"

"Ah?!"

Luo Juan's mind went blank for a moment, and she stared at Guo Feng in a daze, "This... is it really okay?"

Was this progressing too fast?

Guo Feng was also stunned, and couldn't help but glare at Liu Qiang.

You, you're really looking for trouble, aren't you!

However, he still smiled and said, "It's up to you. I don't mind, there are enough rooms anyway."

"Then I'll be troubling you."

Luo Juan's pretty face flushed slightly, but she agreed immediately.

"That's great, it'll be even more convenient for us to look after each other in the future!"

Liu Qiang cheered happily.

He didn't forget to wink at Guo Feng, with an expression that said, 'I've made a contribution, praise me quickly.'

Guo Feng rolled his eyes at him, changed the subject, and looked at Luo Juan: "Oh, right, Xiao Juan Juan, you have the highest talent, do you want to run for class leader?"

"If you're running, I won't."

Luo Juan said, then thought for a moment, "Don't worry, I'll help you beat Zhao Liang and them into submission first, and then you can run."

"Damn it!"

Liu Qiang looked envious.

Can being handsome really mean you can do whatever you want?

Guo Feng, however, chuckled, "No need for that, Xiao Juan Juan, you're underestimating me too much. Although I'd like to take it easy, my strength doesn't allow it. You just watch when the time comes!"

"I didn't mean to underestimate you."

Luo Juan quickly said softly, feeling a bit awkward.

"I understand."

Guo Feng smiled, then asked, "Oh, right, you must have been cultivating these past two days, what level are you at?"

"Level three."

Luo Juan quickly said.

Liu Qiang exclaimed, "What, level three? I'm only level two! Is S-grade talent really that amazing?"

He looked hurt, then looked at Guo Feng, "Old Guo, you should be level one now, right?"

He wanted to seek comfort.

"Sigh."

Guo Feng sighed, ran a hand through his hair, "Old Liu, you have to accept reality, I'm also level three."

"What?!"

Liu Qiang's eyes widened, letting out a wail that made people turn their heads...
