Chapter 364: What? You want to build a university?

~7 min read 1,366 words

The effect of two pills surpassed miracles; after Qin Feng personally verified it, he decisively came again the next day.

This time, he didn't come empty-handed.

Yesterday, upon entering Lin Meng's training room, he found the furnishings too simple.

Those two pills made him feel as if he'd been reborn, so he certainly couldn't take them for nothing.

But giving money would be too vulgar; given Lin Meng's current wealth, she probably doesn't lack this amount.

So Qin Feng rushed back to his hometown overnight, pried open the Qin family elder's study—his father's study—and carried off the most valuable screen there.

Besides that, he himself bought a set of dragon-and-phoenix jade carving floor ornaments; the jade quality isn't the best, but it's worth tens of millions and has high ornamental value, Qin Feng thought this would surely be something a girl would like.

This time, Lin Meng personally opened the door for him; upon seeing Lin Meng, Qin Feng became excited.

"Girl, I've been reborn!"

Qin Feng still wore his big pompadour, his spirit looked better than before, his whole person radiant, as if he'd undergone an overnight rejuvenation.

Lin Meng knew he had already taken the two pills, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, and she said:

"So, you're here to give me a gift?"

Lin Meng had already caught sight of the three large items behind Qin Feng, wrapped in foam padding.

Qin Feng immediately nodded, hoisted two of the large items, and started moving them indoors while speaking.

"Don't stand on ceremony with me—look at this divine strength of mine, it's all thanks to you; let these three things be my belated housewarming gift, they'd fit perfectly in your empty training room."

Qin Feng personally carried all three gifts into the basement training room, carefully removed the padding, and the three gifts revealed their true appearance.

Lin Meng was genuinely stunned upon seeing these three large items.

The two jade carving ornaments actually matched the uncle's fiery temperament—simple and blunt.

But that ancient-looking screen appeared valuable, its calligraphy and painting rich in meaning—clearly not the uncle's style.

"I'll take these two jade carving ornaments; placing them as decorations on the side is indeed fine." Lin Meng estimated they were worth tens of millions, counting it as payment for the pills.

However, that screen was valuable, and Lin Meng dared not just accept it casually.

"Take the screen back—this clearly isn't yours,"

Such large antique artworks have value but no market; even if Qin Feng wanted to buy one, he might not immediately find a channel, let alone purchase it right away.

Qin Feng couldn't help but inwardly click his tongue; this girl's guess was truly spot-on.

He didn't hide it, saying plainly: "This was moved from my father's study; it counts as my property, so feel free to take it—I think it matches your desk quite well."

Lin Meng blinked upon hearing this, not expecting Qin Feng to be such a troublemaker.

"May I ask how old your father is this year?"

Lin Meng asked tentatively; Qin Feng waved his hand and said:

"He's nearly eighty, but don't worry—his health is still fine, he won't be upset by me; this screen isn't a favorite in his collection, and I certainly wouldn't dare take his treasured pieces."

Lin Meng pursed her lips, glanced at the screen—it was indeed beautiful; placing it beside the desk instantly gave the modest training room a touch of elegance.

But Lin Meng wouldn't take the elder's collection for nothing; she immediately took out a Jade Marrow Pill and handed it to Qin Feng, saying:

"Don't let the elder lose out; take this Jade Marrow Pill for him to eat—older people get even better results from one."

Qin Feng's eyes lit up at the sight of the pill; he immediately pocketed it and gave Lin Meng a hehe smile.

"I knew you're someone I can work with—do you have any extra pills? Especially those Opening Aperture Pills; how about giving me a few more?"

Qin Feng rubbed his hands together like a fly, full of anticipation.

Lin Meng pursed her lips and could only take out three Opening Aperture Pills for him.

"Three Opening Aperture Pills—I can give them to you, but you can't take them for nothing; you have to help me with something."

Qin Feng had already stashed the pills in his clothing pocket; hearing this, he lifted his head to look at Lin Meng.

"Just tell me what it is; leave it to me and you can relax."

Lin Meng thought to herself that it was rather troublesome, but after thinking she said:

"Didn't you say you wanted to set up a martial arts school? Now I want you to help me scout a location—whether ready-made or to be rebuilt, however convenient—basically I want you to help me build a school."

Qin Feng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this; he quickly put away his playful thoughts and spoke seriously:

"You also want to build a school? What kind? What scale?"

Lin Meng rested her chin in thought; she really hadn't considered the scale, but according to her idea, if a cultivation university only admitted disciples with spiritual roots, there probably wouldn't be many.

She thought and then said:

"The scale doesn't need to be too big; if needed we can expand later. I want to create a university that's rather special—not a university in the traditional sense."

As soon as she finished, Qin Feng thought he'd misheard, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in exclamation.

"What? You want to build a university? Girl, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you—do you know how high the requirements are to build a university? It's not something you can just decide to do privately."

"Nowadays, private university policies are tightened; you can't build one just by having money to invest."

Lin Meng replied upon hearing this:

"No need to worry about that; since I want to run it, there will surely be a way—you just need to take responsibility for building the school."

Qin Feng stared at Lin Meng; her overconfidence left him a bit dazed, as if she weren't talking about building a school but merely constructing a toilet at the village entrance.

Qin Feng rolled his eyes; previously he thought he was already quite rebellious, but he hadn't expected someone here to be even bolder and more unrestrained—he had only graduated from university a couple of years ago, yet now he declares he wants to run his own university!

Yet somehow, Qin Feng actually felt Lin Meng wasn't joking or boasting.

She was so confident that her firm gaze made people unable not to believe her.

"Alright! Whatever, I'll go crazy with you—I'll first go look for a site; we'll discuss the details later."

Earlier he had already approached the Ye Family for land; that plot was quite good, and the Ye Family Group seemed not to have developed it yet.

"Running a comprehensive university isn't easy; things like lecture buildings are just the basics—you also need faculty strength. Can you get prominent figures from the relevant fields? That's important for the school's reputation."

"Of course, if you intend to run a for-profit private university, you also need to consider the direction carefully—you can't rely solely on enthusiasm."

Lin Meng nodded upon hearing this and said:

Don't worry, uncle, I'm not completely without plans; I already have some ideas in mind.

Then it's settled.

After Qin Feng left, he eagerly returned to his hometown and went to the old residence to see his old father.

Seeing the unfilial son return to the old residence again, Old Master Qin was frightened and hurriedly ordered the butler to lock the door.

"Get out of here, don't even think about scheming against my collection again!"

Qin Feng curled his lips and said:

"Father, I'm here this time to bring you a treasure; I exchanged your screen for a more valuable collectible, give it a look."

Upon hearing that, the old master's eyes flashed, he leaned on his cane and let out a cold snort.

"Then come in, I want to see what tricks you're up to again!"
