A bunch of poor fools! You don’t even understand the principle of getting what you pay for. This price for medicinal food is already the cost price. I even gave a grand opening discount. Such a waste of emotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t even pay a few hundred Merit Points, pathetic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words instantly angered all the new students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them were so furious their faces turned purple, while others were about to stand up and order dishes, determined to give that condescending guy a piece of their mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next moment, laughter broke the atmosphere from the senior student’s side, as someone called out and exposed the staff’s trick on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Song Changkong, stop fooling the freshmen. Using the challenge method every year — don’t you ever get tired of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the so-called grand opening discount at 298, that’s nonsense, the regular price is 299, just a 1 Merit Point difference, and you call that a discount?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is called Song Changkong, a third-year in the Manufacturing Department, so he’s technically your senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’d better keep your distance from him, or he’ll scam every last Merit Point out of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other senior students laughed and bantered constantly as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Song, how does it feel to be called out for scamming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scammed over 200 value points from me last year, and you’re trying the same trick again. It had to be exposed, absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like if no one spoke up, several new students would inevitably fall for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bet once the new students angrily order, they’ll end up in debt from being scammed by this guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, Great Xia Academy had only one shameful scoundrel, but in the future, there might be more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Song Changkong’s expression quickly reverted back to normal, and he spoke through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys are truly unforgivable! Cutting off someone’s source of income is as bad as killing their parents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if it’s 1 Merit Point cheaper?

Want to order? Or are you all poor fools who can’t even afford a medicinal meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, after being exposed, the new students weren’t rash enough to fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, by this point, it was already very obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent’s earlier performance was all intentional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose was to provoke them and empty their pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring this out, the new students lowered their heads and ate in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It vaguely felt like Great Xia Academy was filled with all sorts of traps, and inattention could lead to pitfalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Campus life seemed a bit different from what they imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one responding, Song Changkong snorted coldly and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, he approached Lin Ping’an with a flattering expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior, did you enjoy your meal? How did it taste? I’m working on a new dish! Want to try it tomorrow? Just 588 points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his tone was full of flattery and sycophancy, completely different from his earlier demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the new students were dumbfounded, with one thought simultaneously crossing their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shameless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly shameless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People shouldn’t... no, can’t... be that shameless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Lin Ping’an didn’t even look up, continuing to eat as he replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, serve me a portion during lunch in the afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And while you’re at it, recommend a few books on medicinal cuisine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Changkong patted his chest with a beaming smile, promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem! I’ve got it all covered, Junior Lin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I may not be certain about other things, but anything related to medicinal cuisine is guaranteed to be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, Lin Ping’an nodded, saying nothing more, and continued eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This senior, whom he’d known for over half a month, though a bit greedy, was still reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he promised would definitely be accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with this, Song Changkong left in good spirits, not dawdling any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having been associated with this big sponsor for a while, he could also gauge the other’s temperament to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since their future transaction was settled, lingering was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of wasting time, it was better to get things done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next half-hour became the most excruciating time of the new students’ lives in the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating while hungry felt like chewing on wax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tantalizing fragrance constantly made them resent the instigator so much they could grind their teeth to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the new students ate reluctantly, they shot hostile glares at the paid dining area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If glares had lethal power, that person would have been shredded countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meal further tarnished Lin Ping’an’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, besides Lin Ping’an, no other new students returned to their seats to eat; they chose to take away their meals and eat back at their residences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been tormented enough by unattainable desires and wished to never endure it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, besides promoting one new dish and earning several hundred Merit Points, Song Changkong efficiently completed his tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clearly marked reading list was promptly delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’an was quite satisfied with this and casually rewarded him with 200 Merit Points as a service fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This only further solidified Song Changkong’s determination to maintain good relations with this junior (wealthy backer).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Ping’an had free access to Lower Third Grades knowledge at Great Xia Academy, extracting the most useful materials from an ocean of information still took some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 588 points spent were well worth it, saving time while sampling a new dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his perspective, problems solved with Merit Points weren’t problems at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later that night, Lin Ping’an connected to the Celestial Dao Network, and once logged in, he uploaded the contents of dozens of medicinal cuisine books according to the reading list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding them could wait; for now, memorizing them would suffice for future use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that was done, as usual, he searched for Lower Third Grades Martial Arts Knowledge, continuing to immerse himself in the ocean of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Study... comprehend... master... continuously building his foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire night passed, and at dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center square of Great Xia Academy, dense shadows of people stood neatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new students yawned, chatting idly with somewhat scattered attitudes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so early! Didn’t sleep well last night! I kept feeling hungry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I figured it out! You had a dream too, right? It’s all because of Lin Ping’an and his flashy antics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got to say, isn’t he a bit too generous, dropping over a thousand Merit Points on a meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the Concealing Breath Technique he developed is priced at 1 Merit Point, and has sold tens of thousands of copies, so he’s not short on Merit Points right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! 1 Merit Point? That cheap? That’s crazy! Does his lousy cultivation technique actually have buyers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm... I bought it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You bought it? Why!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A cultivation technique for 1 Merit Point, it’d be a waste not to buy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...
