Chapter 883: This woman is probably poor to the point of insanity

"Do you have a problem?" Liu Shasha was retorted to the point of being speechless and cursed very irritably, "I'm just sharing a piece of gossip with you. Believe it or not, don't take yourselves too seriously. What benefit would I get from lying to you? Still grandstanding? Heh... a group of newcomers who just entered the villa, are you worth me attracting your attention?"

"Since you are so unappreciative, I won't share any more gossip in the future. My brother has taken quite a few missions; don't even think about knowing any news he tells me in the future!"

"Heh, we're so scared!" Someone sneered. "With those bullshit news of yours, we really don't lose anything by not knowing!"

"Don't be like that, what else do you know, tell us and let everyone have some fun..." At the same time, some people started to jeer, intending to mock Liu Shasha after she told more outrageous news.

"Yo... without your gossip, I can't even eat my meal..."

"Hmph, you want to know now?" Liu Shasha said with a haughty look, "I just won't tell you!"

After finishing, she turned around and walked to her bed to start packing her things.

Although Liu Shasha didn't have high seniority, she wasn't a newcomer, so naturally, she didn't have much luggage to pack.

Xu Tian watched the girl's back silently, his gaze flickering slightly.

The news Liu Shasha told was like a bombshell to him. There were too many details he found strange, but he couldn't sort them out. He had to find another time when no one was around to ask her carefully.

The first day of school passed plainly, and early the next morning, everyone got up and rushed to the teaching building.

Perhaps because they were newcomers, the people in the dormitory were afraid of falling behind and leaving a bad impression on the instructor, so they went to the classroom half an hour early.

Xu Tian originally intended to find Liu Shasha to ask about the situation before class, but she was dawdling with her makeup in the bathroom and wouldn't come out. After she finally came out, she grabbed her backpack and rushed out of the dormitory like a flash, not giving him a chance at all.

Xu Tian took two quick steps and finally managed to stop Liu Shasha before she entered the teaching building.

"Do you need something?" Liu Shasha turned her head in confusion.

"I..." As soon as Xu Tian opened his mouth, he heard the tolling of the bell from the clock tower.

This bell sound was equivalent to the preparatory bell for class in schools in Huaxia. After students heard the bell, they had to return to the classroom immediately.

"If you have anything to say, say it after class." Liu Shasha heard the bell, turned her head, and hurried into the teaching building.

Xu Tian was helpless and could only follow quickly.

The large auditorium was almost full of people. Xu Tian found a seat, separated from Liu Shasha by more than a dozen people, and was completely unable to communicate.

Not long after, the instructor responsible for teaching Xu Tian and the others walked in with a serious expression.

"Everyone, be quiet. Now I will explain to you the survival rules for low-level bounty hunters within the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa." The instructor's majestic gaze swept over everyone present. "The Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa uses universal world rules. Here, the lowest-level bounty hunters are Level 4. Level 4 bounty hunters must complete at least ten missions every quarter; there is no limit to the difficulty of the missions. In addition, the number of missions completed each month must not be less than two; otherwise, they will be expelled from the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa."

"This is equivalent to forcing students to complete bounty missions." Xu Tian thought silently.

However, setting such rules is actually reasonable. This is a place to train bounty hunters, not a place to train bookworms.

If a student has excellent theoretical grades at the villa but is all talk and no action, and hasn't independently completed a single mission, then even if they graduate, they won't be able to gain a foothold in the bounty hunter industry and will instead smash the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa's golden signboard.

Next, the instructor introduced the detailed rules regarding the quarterly missions.

The mandatory missions for each quarter are issued by the villa, and every student must complete them, and they must be completed within a time limit. If completed overtime, it counts as incomplete, and failure also counts as incomplete.

If a student fails missions twice in a row, just like refusing to complete the prescribed missions, they will all be severely punished and expelled from the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa.

The instructor repeatedly emphasized the importance of mandatory bounty missions.

"The mandatory bounty missions will be issued to you soon. Be diligent, don't wait until you are expelled by the villa to come crying to me for mercy!"

"Everyone is equal before the rules; there are no exceptions. If you can't complete the missions or try to slack off, just wait to be kicked out!"

The bell for the end of class rang, and the instructor left the auditorium without hesitation.

Xu Tian stood up immediately, pushed through the restless crowd, and squeezed in front of Liu Shasha.

"Liu Shasha, I have something to ask you."

Liu Shasha's expression was a bit conflicted. She looked at Xu Tian and asked hesitantly after a long while.

"Why do you always look for me... you don't have any ideas about me, do you?"

Immediately after, she crossed her arms in front of her chest with a defensive look.

"I'm telling you, I already have someone I like, don't get any wild ideas!"

Xu Tian:...

Who is the one with wild ideas?

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not interested in you."

Xu Tian was speechless. He just wanted to find Liu Shasha to ask clearly about the details of someone from the Yun family sending bounty hunters to assassinate Yun Mufeng, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by the other party.

"Really?" Liu Shasha was half-believing.

"Absolutely true." Xu Tian replied.

"Then what exactly do you want to do by looking for me?" Liu Shasha relaxed her vigilance a little.

"Actually, I have a bounty mission I want to issue. Didn't you say your brother is a bounty hunter? It just so happens that we both know each other, so I want to give this mission to him."

"You want to give a bounty mission to my brother?" Liu Shasha's eyes lit up. "Tell me first what the mission is and what the price is?"

"I have to keep that confidential."

Xu Tian thought for a moment and continued: "But if you act as an intermediary for me, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you ten thousand as an introduction fee, how about that?"

"Only ten thousand?" Liu Shasha was a bit disappointed. "Ten thousand isn't even enough for me to buy a limited-edition bag. Forget it, my brother won't take a mission with such a low bounty."

Xu Tian: "..."

He only then remembered that he seemed to have been spoiled by Yun Shuying. When he asked Yun Shuying to take missions, there was still room for bargaining even if the price was low, but now Liu Shasha didn't even look at an intermediary fee of ten thousand.

"Don't go yet, I'll add another five thousand for you." Xu Tian stopped Liu Shasha, who was about to leave, and said through gritted teeth.

"No." Liu Shasha still shook her head. "Unless you pay fifty thousand."

"Fifty thousand?" Xu Tian frowned.

This woman is probably poor to the point of insanity. An intermediary fee alone is fifty thousand; this number would be enough even if posted on the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa's bulletin board.

If it weren't for wanting to find Liu Shasha's brother, Xu Tian really wouldn't want to bargain with this woman who opens her mouth like a lion. ===== CHAPTER 884 =====
