Dropping Hints

Lu Ze wanted to cultivate, so I went back to residence. I haven't bathed since arriving to the past so I drew a hot bath and relaxed. With almost 600,000 academy credits, there wasn't anything worth buying on the store. However, I could still buy a bunch of ingredients for spirit food. Since I only need Lu Ze's orbs to cultivate, I don't have to particularly pay attention to anything in the shop.

My heritage divine arts and the divine arts I learned in my previous life would be enough. The only thing I needed was the god arts to match them. This would be gained from Lu Ze as well. Once I get access to his God Art, I'll be able to help him get stronger quicker.

After my bath, I opened the university store and bought several ingredients for spirit food. I set them to be delivered next door and then went to cultivate. The next day, I went straight to Lu Ze's house just before the dual suns rose.

"Good morning Lin Ling, what are you doing here so early?"

I rolled my eyes seeing his expectant look and said "Don't you want breakfast?"

Lu Ze pulled me in and pushed me toward the kitchen, "Come in, come in. You're always welcome here! I dreamt of your delicious food and hoped to try it again today!"

I used the remaining ingredients I had to make a big breakfast and brought it out. Truthfully, I also became a bit of a foodie due to Lu Ze's influence so I was also happy to eat good food. After they finished eating, there was a knock at the door.

Lu Ze was cleaning the dishes so I went to answer the door. It was Ye Mu and the others. When they saw Lin Ling answer the door, they thought they accidently went to the wrong residence.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here so early?" Lu Ze called out as he walked up to the door.

"Wow brother Ze, you move really quickly. I didn't expect for you to be so manly. Teach me the ways to pickup girls!" Ye Mu begged.

Lu Ze was completely confused with what he was saying, but I understood what he meant. Although it'll happen eventually, I don't want you gossiping about it!

After throwing him into the nearby lake, I invited the rest of the group in.

"Ze, did you see the forums?"

"No, what happened?"

"That Bo Yibo is selling your fight for 10 academic credits! He must have made a fortune by now!"

Lu Ze shrugged "No one knows me so who would watch it?"

Xavier pointed at the viewer count "Look, there's already 2.1 million views."

I was shocked when I heard the number. This was half a million more views than the original timeline. Is it because I'm much stronger and we have a rumored relationship? Just as she was contemplating the changes she made in the timeline, Lu Ze got a call from an unknown number.

"Junior Lu Ze, you saw the post, right?"

"That's right." He replied

"Junior Lu Ze, although I thought of the idea, I used your fame to earn this much. How about we split it, I get 30 and you get 70?" Bo Yibo suggested.

I was shocked. Wasn't it supposed to be sixty-forty? When did it become more? Is it because the initial amount is so much higher and senior Bo Yibo only needs a certain amount right away?

They finished the deal and Lu Ze nearly got 15 million academic credits from that alone. Ye Mu finally came back and managed to overhear what happened and he got excited.

"Brother Lu Ze, you have to treat us to food!"

And just like before, Lu Ze offered to share, "Everyone will get 100,000 academic credits. Its your starting money. I won't give anymore since I'm very poor."

My eyebrow twitched. It's not that his shamelessness decreased over the years, but at least he became less annoying. His young version was a bit difficult to deal with. He is going to give me a headache.

I shook my head. "It's okay Ze, you hold onto it. I don't need to buy anything right now."

Ye Mu, Xavier, and Ian also refused it. However, when Lu Ze taunted them by using his strength and a 10% interest, they finally agreed. The rest left to cultivate and spend the credits while I stayed.

Lu Ze sat on the couch and I sat across from him. "Hey Lin Ling, did you look at our class schedule?"

I had totally forgotten. It's not like we needed to attend class anyway… "No, I haven't. We can check later. Even if we don't go to class, as long as we self-study we will be fine."

There was a slight pause and Lu Ze spoke up. "I didn't expect you to be such a slacker. I thought you were the studious type. I guess I'll have to make sure you go to class in the future! Hehe, aren't I great?"

This bastard! You're the one that wasn't going to go to class. How dare you turn it on me. Before I could scold him, there was a knock at the door.

"Did those fellows come back? I thought they would be cultivating." Le Zu said as he stood up and answered the door. I looked over and realized this must be my order coming in. I was excited to cook some better meals with rarer ingredients.

"Hello, you are fellow student Lu Ze, right?" The man said excitedly.

"Fellow student?" Lu Ze asked.

"Yes, I am a new student like you. However, I didn't get into the elite class, or I would have been in the same class as you."

Lu Ze was shocked. "Then what are you doing here?"

"I accepted the mission to deliver your school uniform."

I came over and waved at the student. "Hello, fellow student. Do you have my uniform as well? My name is Lin Ling."

He nodded. "Fellow student Lin Ling, I know you. You're Lu Ze's girlfriend. I have your uniform and the package you ordered here as well." He said as he passed over a few boxes to her.

"Thank you!" I went back in with the boxes and put them on the table. Lu Ze was still standing at the door in a daze. The ordinary student had directly called me his girlfriend, and I didn't say anything. He must be really confused right now.

"Ze, why are you just standing there." I said to tease him.

"I'll be going first then!" The ordinary student left and Lu Ze walked back with his box. He wasn't sure what to say so he scratched his head. I was already going through my packages so he decided to open his as well.

Inside were three sets of uniforms, a black with red stripes, white with black stripes, and blue with green stripes. Naturally, I favorited the black one. I put them all back and started going through the other boxes to verify their contents.

"Lin Ling, what is this logo?"

I rolled my eyes, "It's the Federal University school logo. It's based on our mother planet, Earth."

"Earth! That's why it seemed familiar."

That's right, he hadn't been to Earth at this point in time. "The solar system isn't far from here, only 10 hours away. You can visit it anytime."

I just finished looking through all the boxes and putting them away when Lu Ze got up and started pulling me toward the door. "Let's go play on Earth!"

I pulled back and looked at him with a wry smile. "You want to go to Earth together? Sure. But what do I get out of it?"

Lu Ze saw the expression on my face and covered his chest with his arms. "Are you lusting after my body? I'm just a young boy!"

My face turned red with anger. He was right, but the way he said it made it sound like I'm a criminal! I bashed his head and it made me feel better. "Fine, lets go! But we'll only have two days there before we have to come back."

"Two days is plenty! I want to try those ancient Earth cuisines!"

I giggled at his obvious intentions and let him lead me to the starship port to take the first flight to Earth. This is technically a date! Maybe I can redeem my reward on our trip…

A blush spread across my face thinking about those perverted things. Many people saw us leaving on a starship together and a rumor quickly spread around the university.
