Chapter 527: Brother Ren? (1.3 for 1 Chapter)
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Although people could log into the course selection system of the school through the internet, everyone liked to pick their courses at the school’s computer labs since the router was located in that building, and the internet speed was the fastest in that area.
Because there were many students at East Ocean University, the website often would crash after logging into the course selection system. Therefore, picking classes at the computer lab had become a tradition at East Ocean University.
Especially for those students who were about to graduate, they had to choose courses that were easy for them to pass and could boost their GPA before graduation. On the other hand, some students would also like to pick the easiest instructors for their required courses so that they would not fail the class and delay their graduations.
However, if these courses were full, there was nothing they could to get into those courses, even if they tried to talk to the instructors alone. The exception was that if someone dropped the course, then there would be an empty spot. However, students usually wouldn’t drop such popular courses.
“Hurry up and leave!” A few tall guys saw that the students at the door weren’t moving, so they went over to urge them.
The teacher who was in charge of the order of this computer lab was skinny, and he turned his head around when he saw Huang Xujie walking into the computer lab.
All the students and teachers knew that Huang Xujie’s dad was a deputy mayor of the city. Although he usually acted recklessly and cared for nobody in school, he did not break any laws, so he would not bring any trouble to his dad.
Those students who were sitting near the door stood up unwillingly. Although they were angry, they didn’t dare to do anything since they knew that they didn’t stand a chance against Huang Xujie.
There were more than a dozen students from the Rock-Climbing Club accompanying Huang Xujie. Since they needed more than four computers, they started kicking out other students.
Those students who were being kicked out stood beside the computers as they hoped that Huang Xujie and his friends would finish quickly so that they could continue choosing their courses.
“Get out, get out!” One of those guys came over and kicked Hao Ren’s chair as they saw him remaining seated.
Due to Hao Ren’s fame, this guy knew about Hao Ren and the grudges between him and Huang Xujie. Back when they were still in third-year, they didn’t dare to be too arrogant. Now that they had entered fourth-year, and Xie Wanjun had graduated, the Rock-Climbing Club had nothing to worry about anymore.
“Hurry up and give up the computer!” This guy started to lose his patience and kicked Hao Ren’s chair harder since the latter was still sitting.
The chairs in the computer lab were actually square stools. If Hao Ren didn’t sit still, he could have fallen off the chair.
“Hey, don’t go too far!” Xie Yujia stood up and yelled.
Huang Xujie, who was fanning himself, heard the shout and turned his head.
When he saw one of his henchmen fighting over a seat with Hao Ren, he was surprised and walked over quickly.
“Brother Huang, what a small world. We saw him again,” the guy said to Huang Xujie.
Huang Xujie looked at Hao Ren and then at this guy who was still yelling
Pow!
Huang Xujie folded his fan and smacked it on this guy’s head.
A red mark appeared on this guy’s forehead, and he was utterly stunned.
Then, Huang Xujie put away his fan and slapped this guy on the back of his head, making this big and tall man take a few steps forward.
The guy rubbed the back of his head and had no idea what he had done wrong. Then, Huang Xujie threw the fan angrily at his face.
“Apologize to Brother Hao!” Huang Xujie yelled at him angrily.
That guy looked at Huang Xujie in shock. Then, he looked at Hao Ren and said quietly, “Bro… Brother Hao, sorry.”
Hao Ren sat on the stool and did not say a word.
Huang Xujie charged toward him and hit him in the back of his head again. The smacking noise was so clear and loud that everyone in the computer lab heard it.
“Was that an apology?” Huang Xujie stared at him and said.
“Bro… Brother Hao! I’m sorry!” this simple-minded, strong guy roared.
Hao Ren looked up at Huang Xujie and said sarcastically, “Huang Xujie, you look majestic.”
Huang Xujie smiled and said, “Brother Hao, sorry. I didn’t know you are here.”
Zhou Liren, who was sitting right next to Hao Ren, was stunned.
Gu Jiadong and everyone else were also shocked.
“Go line-up outside,” Hao Ren said coldly.
“Yes, yes, we will,” Huang Xujie picked up the fan on the floor and left the computer lab with his henchmen.
While walking out of the computer lab, Huang Xujie slapped the back of that guy’s head again as he was still angry at him for messing with Hao Ren.
After knowing Hao Ren’s family background, Huang Xujie tried to avoid seeing him at school. How could Huang Xujie not be angry when he found out that one of his boys deliberately provoked Hao Ren?
During the summer break, Huang Xujie’s dad warned him about Hao Ren and told him that he should try to make friends with Hao Zhonghua’s son, who studied at East Ocean University. Even if he couldn’t become friends with Hao Ren, he shouldn’t mess with him. That was because people like Hao Zhonghua had good relationships with all the influential people in the city, and he had the power to affect the Mayor’s decision on firing and promoting any deputy mayors.
As Huang Xujie walked out of the computer lab, people like Yu Rong, Gu Jiadong, Huang Jianfeng, and Zhao Jiayi were all stunned.
“Brother Ren… Shall I call you Brother Ren?” Zhou Liren looked at Hao Ren confusedly.
“We are about to start picking our courses. Why don’t you double-check your class list?” Hao Ren glanced at him and said.
“Oh, oh…” Zhou Liren listened to Hao Ren’s words and took a sheet of paper out.
The paper listed the best courses to pick and the second-choices. However, they still had to act fast in order to be enrolled in those courses.
“Mr. Sun, we are here to pick our classes.” Right before the course selection system opened, Lu Qi entered the computer lab with the members of the Go Club.
Unlike other clubs at school, the Go Club was one of the most important clubs. It had its own practice rooms, and this computer lab that was located right next to the school’s network router was their exclusive computer lab.
Due to the large numbers of students who had to select their courses, this computer lab was opened for all students for the day. Since Xie Yujia knew that the internet speed was the fastest in this room, she and Ma Lina started lining up in the early morning outside of it.
Lu Qi looked around and saw that the entire computer lab was full. He then noticed Hao Ren, walked over, and said, “Brother Hao.”
Lu Qi, the president of the Go Club, was a handsome young man who wore glasses. He was very famous amongst the upper-year students, but unlike Huang Xujie who was arrogant, he was humble and had a lot of fangirls.
Other than being separated from other clubs in school, the Principal would personally allocate a sum of money to the Go Club each year as funding. Therefore, Huang Xujie wouldn’t dare to mess with Lu Qi.
The fact that Lu Qi walked toward Hao Ren and called him, Brother Hao, shocked Zhou Liren once again. “Lu Qi is very famous amongst in the school, and he is even a year older than Hao Ren!” he thought.
“Oh, picking classes?” Hao Ren looked at Lu Qi and asked.
“Yes. I brought the Go Club here to pick courses as well,” Lu Qi replied.
He had his reasons for calling Hao Ren, Brother Hao. First of all, Hao Ren was a level 3 inspector, which meant that he had a much higher status than Lu Qi. Also, since Hao Ren had become an inspector, all the young dragon cultivators wanted to become Hao Ren’s assisting inspector.
Right now, there were only two inspectors in East Ocean City, and both were in East Ocean University. One of them was Su Han, and the other was Hao Ren. Since everyone knew that Su Han didn’t want to have anything to do with the dragon cultivators in school, it meant that she wouldn’t pick anyone to become her assisting inspector. Hao Ren was a special case.
Therefore, Hao Ren was the only hope for them. After one became an assisting inspector, he or she would gain a lot of benefits from Dragon God Shrine.
“Lu Qi, do you want me to empty a few seats for you?” The teacher who was responsible for looking after the computer lab asked.
This computer lab originally belonged to the Go Club. Before the room was opened to the students, a few notices were posted on the front door that said: If a Go Club member wants to use the computer, one must give up his or her seat.
“There’s no need, Mr. Wong. We will wait here,” Lu Qi waved his hands politely.
Since Lu Qi wasn’t taking anyone’s seat, the other club members also had to wait behind Hao Ren.
“Oh, there is a little girl who is trying to find you, and she is outside,” Lu Qi suddenly said.
“Huh?” Hao Ren was surprised.
“I didn’t know where you were, or else I would’ve brought her up here. I can go find her for you now,” Lu Qi continued.
“I will go find her myself!” Hao Ren left the computer lab and ran to the window across the hallway. He saw Zhao Yanzi riding a bike outside and wandered around.
Hao Ren searched his pocket and realized that he did not bring his phone with him.
“Hey! Right here!” Hao Ren yelled.
Zhao Yanzi looked up and saw Hao Ren. Then, she pouted and left her new bicycle on the ground before she ran into the building.
Hao Ren waited for her at the staircase and saw her face covered in sweat. Since the summer wasn’t over yet, it was still very hot even in the mornings.
“Why are you here?” Hao Ren asked.
“I was bored; that’s why I came to your school. I asked a fire-elemental dragon, but he didn’t know where you were. All he said was that you might be at this building picking your courses.” Zhao Yanzi wiped off her sweat and said.
“We are picking courses,” Hao Ren said.
“Ha! It is cooler here!” Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren into the computer lab and said happily.
Since there were air-conditioners inside the computer lab, it was nice and cool.
This room belonged to the Go Club, so the computers, air-conditioners and the water machines were all brand-new.
“Ah, your little cousin is here again!” Zhou Liren saw Zhao Yanzi and said delightfully.
“It’s fiancée! Fiancée!” Zhao Yanzi corrected him again. Then, she suddenly saw all the other students in the computer lab staring at her, and her face turned red instantly. She walked faster and followed Hao Ren to his computer.
Hao Ren’s report card remained opened on his computer screen, and Zhao Yanzi looked at his grades and was surprised. “Third place in your program? There must be very few students at your program, right?”
Hao Ren only smiled. His program actually had the most students.
Zhao Yanzi then turned her head and looked at Xie Yujia’s computer screen. She was left speechless when she saw Xie Yujia’s grades and realized that the latter was the first place of the program.
“Little girl, take a seat here!” Lu Qi gave Zhao Yanzi a square stool.
He now remembered seeing Zhao Yanzi at the general exams at the Dragon God Shrine. As a fire-elemental dragon, although he wasn’t close to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he had to treat her well since she had a close relationship with Hao Ren.
“Thank you!” Zhao Yanzi smiled happily and moved the stool next to Hao Ren before she started leaning on him.
Xie Yujia looked at Zhao Yanzi and shook her head helplessly. “It is obvious that she is here to watch over Hao Ren and me,” she thought.
Zhao Yanzi was sitting right between Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, deliberately separating them from each other.
“It’s nine! Course selection starts now!” Gu Jiadong yelled nervously.
“Try to pick the same courses together!” Yu Rong yelled, “University English, class numbers are 008 and 010, pick Zhao Lihua as the instructor! Theories of Sociology, 02094049, Zhang Haidong…”
The computer lab, which was initially calm and quiet, was suddenly as loud and intense as a battlefield.
“This is my class list,” Xie Yujia gave a piece of paper to Hao Ren.
All the courses Xie Yujia was going to take have been printed out. The courses’ names, class numbers, names of the instructors… everything was included.
Hao Ren looked at Zhou Liren, who was hitting the keyboard crazily to his left, and then at Yu Rong, who had all his veins bulging as he yelled.
He thought for a moment, followed Xie Yujia’s class list, and started entering the class numbers into the system.
Most of the classes during the third-year were mandatory. Thus, all the third-year students took these classes together since they had no choices. However, they were still able to take a few non-mandatory courses.
Although the classes on Xie Yujia’s class list might not be the easiest courses, all these classes were scheduled before noon. Therefore, other than some mandatory courses, they had no classes in the afternoons.
This would help Hao Ren and Xie Yujia cultivate on Fifth Heaven without being noticed. Xie Yujia spent a lot of time organizing this class list since she had to make sure they could meet the credit requirements, course requirements, and the scheduling requirements.
The internet was indeed high-speed at this computer lab since Hao Ren and his friends were able to finish picking their courses within a few minutes. Meanwhile, students in the other computer labs were screaming about the crash of the website.
Since Hao Ren copied everything from Xie Yujia’s list, he was going to have all the classes with her this semester.
On the other hand, Zhao Yanzi’s schedule was organized by her class advisor. Therefore, she did not understand why everyone was screaming since she had never experienced the need to pick her own classes before.
“Gongzi!”
Right when Hao Ren finished logging out of the course selection system, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili entered the computer lab joyfully.
“Haha, we got Gongzi’s class list!” Lu Linlin ran toward Hao Ren and grabbed the class list in front of him. Then, she immediately logged into the computer and typed in the information.
Lu Lili took Xie Yujia’s computer and received the class list from Lu Linlin. Then, she entered the class numbers and picked all the courses Hao Ren had.
“Your classes are supposed to be different from mine, right?” Hao Ren looked at them helplessly.
“Bingo!” Lu Linlin made a V-shaped hand gesture. “My sister and I took the program-switching exam at the end of the first year, and we passed!”
