12: Renting a villa. A misunderstanding?

After eating, Qin Yan had no reason to stay, so he bid farewell.

"I'm counting on you!"

Before leaving, he gave Lin Chuan an encouraging look.

"Money in place, smash everything!"

Lin Chuan returned a look that said, 'You know what I mean.'

Then, Qin Yan summoned the Giant Rock Eagle King, who soared into the sky, once again causing a sensation.

"Old Qin!!!"

Lan Lan was furious, but there was nothing she could do about Qin Yan.

"Lin Chuan, come with me."

After calming her emotions, Lan Lan still needed to arrange things for Lin Chuan first.

Lin Chuan quickly followed.

Old Qin's personal actions had nothing to do with him, Lin Chuan.

"I still don't know your basic situation. You can also ask me if you have any questions. Let's have a simple chat."

On the way, Lan Lan said casually.

The two walked along, chatting idly... "Principal, I haven't really learned much about Beast Taming High School before. It shouldn't require memorization or test-taking, right?"

"Haha..."

This question directly amused Lan Lan.

"Don't worry, in the three years of high school, only a small amount of time is spent learning basic common sense and Cultivation knowledge. The rest of the time is basically spent in collective Cultivation or practical combat training. After Awakening, Beast Tamers almost all have photographic memories, so just flipping through things is enough. Why would you memorize anything..."

With Lan Lan's introduction, Lin Chuan also roughly understood the basic situation.

The classroom for each class was actually a collective Cultivation ground. The school would specifically issue Spirit Stones to increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi for Cultivation. Anyway, they were all a bunch of Black Iron Rank individuals, so the speed of absorption was only so-so.

After reaching university, it would basically be individual Cultivation rooms.

Lin Chuan wasn't very interested in Cultivation, but practical combat training sounded like fun.

After all, Old Hei hadn't had a proper fight since his debut.

Old Hei was a defensive type, with no advantage in combat, so he could probably only defend.

However, Old Hei was the one getting beaten, what did that have to do with Lin Chuan?

Do you hear, is that a human speaking?

"Currently, there are five classes in the third year, with Class One being the重點班 (key class). You can choose which class you want to join."

"That must be the key class."

After all, just by the name, he knew that the key class would definitely have more resources.

Hearing Lin Chuan's answer, Lan Lan glanced at him, said nothing more, and agreed.

"Alright, the school will help you re-create your student file. In the afternoon, a teacher from the logistics department will arrange your dormitory and provide daily necessities."

"Um, Principal, can I rent a place outside to live?"

The school dormitory probably couldn't fit Old Hei's 'small' body, so living outside would be more comfortable.

"That's fine, but just find something close by, not too far. Even within the city, it's not absolutely safe."

"I understand."

"Tomorrow at nine, go directly to Class One to report. I will notify the homeroom teacher in advance. From now on, you are a member of Third High School.

I hope you remember what you said, and restore the glory of Third High School!"

Finally, Lan Lan encouraged him and then let Lin Chuan act freely.

"Why do I suddenly feel so fired up?"

Lin Chuan murmured, then promptly dismissed it from his mind.

He turned and walked out of the school.

With half a day left, he still needed to find a place to settle down.

However, it wasn't particularly urgent; if worst came to worst, he could stay in a hotel. After all, Old Qin's sponsorship was still very generous...

Finding a house went much smoother than Lin Chuan expected.

The prerequisite was having the power of money.

Lin Chuan recalled his previous life, when he had just graduated, and the various strange pitfalls he encountered while renting, which made him curse under his breath.

All troubles arise from insufficient (monetary) ability.

This two-story building in front of him was only the third house the agent showed Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan decided on it.

This was a villa area not far from the school, with independent houses, ensuring privacy and security.

Moreover, the courtyard also came with an outdoor swimming pool.

Lin Chuan wasn't in the mood for swimming, but letting Old Hei take a bath there would be nice.

The monthly rent, after discount, was only twenty-eight thousand...

Even though it wasn't his own money, Lin Chuan still felt a pang of heartache.

This could buy Old Hei how many bowls of egg fried rice!

After paying, Lin Chuan didn't need to prepare anything and could move in directly.

Sitting on a rosewood recliner, he brewed himself a pot of tea using the fine tea leaves left by the landlord.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but exclaim, having money is truly awesome!

...The night passed without incident.

The next day, as Lin Chuan stepped out, he noticed the gate of his neighbor opposite also opened, and a girl in a light blue long dress walked out with a small bag.

Seeing Lin Chuan looking at her, the girl's gaze flitted away, and she walked straight out.

"There are so many rich people!"

Lin Chuan, combining his learning experience from both lives, would give that girl's appearance an 85.

If she had beast ears, it could go up to 90. Of course, this was a lingering regret from his previous self, a regret...

Coming out at this time, and judging by her direction, she was probably also going to Third High School. Maybe he would even run into her at school.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Chuan arrived at the entrance of Third High School.

He stuffed the remaining half of a meat bun into his mouth and prepared to go in.

"Student, wait a moment."

Suddenly, an old man rushed out from the entrance and stopped Lin Chuan.

"Ah ah, ah ah ah?"

"..."

"Old man, what are you doing?"

Lin Chuan asked after swallowing the bun in his mouth.

"I remember every single one of the thousand or so students in this school. I could tell at a glance that you're not one of them."

The old man looked smug, as if saying: 'Little rascal, trying to sneak in?'

"Old man, I'm new."

"I know."

"???"

"The previous batch was sent in long ago. Kid, you just came to this area and dare to come to Third High School to freeload?"

"Old man, I really am from Third High School, Class One of the third year. If you don't believe me, go ask the Principal."

Seeing Lin Chuan so firm, the old man couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. Could he have misremembered due to his age?

"Haha, Young Master Yan, this kid says he's from our Class One?"

"Is that so? Why don't I remember such a person in our class?"

At this moment, two students nearby interjected with sarcastic remarks.

"Who do you two think you are? Whose pants weren't tied properly that let you out?"

Lin Chuan didn't tolerate their bad habits and immediately started cursing.

"You f*cking..."

The yellow-haired guy who spoke first immediately got angry and was about to make a move but was stopped by another student who looked somewhat decent.

"I am Yan Hao, the class monitor of Class One of the third year. This is my student ID. I can prove that there is no such person in Class One. He might have some ulterior motive."

Yan Hao spoke with a righteous expression, emphasizing his logical and well-supported claims.

"Kid, what else do you have to say?"

The old man had checked the student ID, it was real, and he also remembered these two students.

"If I am a student of Class One, what will you two do?"

Lin Chuan didn't answer the old man, but instead asked Yan Hao and the other student.

"If you're from Class One, I'll eat my student ID right now."

The yellow-haired guy, quick to speak, blurted it out.

As for Yan Hao, he remained silent, his eyes slightly narrowed, calculating something.

Lin Chuan originally didn't intend to make a big deal out of it. It was just a misunderstanding, something that could be resolved with a phone call.

He didn't expect two dogs to come out barking wildly.

"Don't think too much. If I'm from Class One, you let me beat you up and it's over. If I'm not, you can call the police or do whatever you want."

After speaking, without waiting for Yan Hao to reply.

Lin Chuan took out his phone and called Lan Lan.

Seeing Lin Chuan's boldness, a hint of a bad premonition flashed through Yan Hao's mind. However, he didn't care much; among the students of Beast Taming Third Middle School, he had never feared anyone.

Soon, the call connected, the misunderstanding was cleared, and the old man kept apologizing to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan naturally didn't take it to heart, his eyes fixed only on the other two.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, and we're all in the same class, then it's fine. As the class monitor, I will definitely look after the new classmate."

Yan Hao had a fake smile on his face.

After speaking, he turned and went in, with the yellow-haired guy following closely behind.

"Wait!"
