‘Dragon City Academy…’

Walking on the street, Lu Yao secretly sighed as she thought of this name.
A complicated emotion inexplicably emerged in her heart, formed from a mixture of yearning, longing, desire, and many other emotions.

The so-called Dragon City Academy was an academy that everyone longed to enter in this world.

Then, Lu Yao recalled a scene— the joy of the entire family and the celebration of the people around them back then when they learned that Lu Kong was admitted to the Dragon City Academy.

Even those people who had nothing to do with their family and did not have much contact with them came one after another to congratulate.

The entire family was filled with smiles.
Only Lu Kong was still quietly hiding in his room, seemingly unaffected.
Lu Yao sighed once again.

Based on her understanding of her brother, if it weren’t the last resort, he would never lower his head and seek help from others.
But now, he made this choice for the sake of his family.

This couldn’t help but make her feel a little complicated.
She didn’t know what to say.

But in reality, she was overthinking.
Chen Heng’s predecessor was much more heartless than she had imagined because he was a different person now.

But no matter what, the truth had already happened before her eyes.

In any case, from the outside, Chen Heng’s actions were a compromise that he had to make to take care of his family.

As for the thoughts of his predecessor, no one knew other than Chen Heng himself.

Lu Yao walked out after changing her clothes.
Not long after, she walked into a supermarket.

At this time, she had already changed her clothes and looked like one of the employees inside.

“Xiao Yao, why are you here so early today?”

As she walked in, the surprised voices of the people around her could be heard.
“I heard that your brother is coming back today.
Don’t you need to stay at home and accompany your brother a little longer?”

“I don’t need to.”

Lu Yao smiled and said, “After my brother finished his meal, he went to rest in his room.
He doesn’t need me to accompany him.”

“I’m bored at home too, so I might as well come over earlier to accompany you guys.”

As she spoke, her tone was very light and lively.
It was completely different from her feeling when she was at home.

“Wow!”

A tall woman ran over and hugged Lu Yao.
She seemed to be touched.
“As expected, our Yao Yao has some conscience.”

“Speaking of which, how does your brother feel? What is his height? How does he look?” She asked curiously.

“He looks normal.”

Lu Yao smiled and looked very happy.
“I have another piece of good news.
I will be continuing my classes from now on.”

“Wow!” The woman looked surprised and said, “Congratulations! But why so suddenly?”

“Because my brother is back.” Standing on the spot, Lu Yao explained in a soft voice.

It was challenging to go to school in this world, unlike the world that Chen Heng had experienced in the past.

Not only did Lu Yao has to pay a high tuition fee, but she also had to satisfy various conditions.

If she did not have enough tuition fees, she could only enroll in the ordinary stage, impossible to enter the advanced stage.
Before this, Lu Yao was already prepared to drop out of school, as there was no other way.

The family’s financial situation was not great, so supporting her brother for school was already very difficult.

If she still wanted to enter school under such circumstances, she would not afford it.

Therefore, she was already prepared to drop out of school before this.
She was very thoughtful and even went to work to support the family.

But now that Chen Heng was back, everything was fine.
The family did not lack anything with the money Chen Heng brought back.

Before she left, her parents had also informed her that she could continue to enroll in school without much pressure.

Therefore, the young girl was in a good mood at the moment.

However, the people’s expressions were a little complicated as they listened to Lu Yao’s explanation.

“Dragon City Academy…”

Standing beside Lu Yao, the woman’s face revealed a look of admiration and envy.
“That’s great… How come I don’t have a brother like that…”

Before this, Lu Yao didn’t mention her family, as she had just come here to work.

It was only today that everyone present found out that Lu Yao’s brother was a student of Dragon City Academy.

In this world, this was something that made people envious.
Unknowingly, the people around slowly gathered around and surrounded Lu Yao, asking all sorts of questions.

“What are you all doing?”

A berating voice was heard from the side, followed by the figure of a middle-aged man walking over.

“Why aren’t you all working?”

He looked at the people around him, scolded them, and drove them away.

“Xiao Yao, stay here for a while.”

He looked at Lu Yao a moment later, and his face suddenly became harmonious.
With a full smile on his face, he seemed particularly amiable.
“Your brother is a student of Dragon City Academy?”

“Manager…”

Being left alone, Lu Yao seemed a little nervous, but she finally nodded when she heard his question.

As she nodded to confirm, the eyes of the manager in front of her lit up, and his tone suddenly became warm.
“I see…”

“I didn’t know that your brother is so amazing…”

His face suddenly became warm, and his attitude changed very quickly, with a vague hint of flattery.

In front of everyone, he announced that he would double Lu Yao’s pay and then asked vaguely, “Can I ask Lu Yao to help me with a small favor?”.

It wasn’t a huge favor, as he just requested Lu Yao to ask her brother if her brother could bring him some things from Dragon City Academy.

There were many unique products in Dragon City Academy, and they were all produced first and were often limited editions.
Only the students in Dragon City Academy had the right to purchase them in limited quantities.

Outsiders wouldn’t have a chance to buy them even if they wanted to unless they know someone.
Obviously, this was the intention of the manager.

Lu Yao nodded nervously, saying that she would ask her brother about it but he should not have too much hope.

Based on her brother’s understanding, he was probably too lazy to care about such things and might not agree to it.

However, upon hearing Lu Yao’s words, the man before her heaved a sigh of relief.
His smiling face had never changed, and he walked Lu Yao to the work counter at the side.

The afternoon passed very quickly.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Yao would have to work until the evening before leaving.

However, today, due to the extra care from the people around her, she only worked for more than an hour before she left.

According to the manager, she didn’t have to come over in the future if she wanted to, only had to work half a day, just to put on an act.

However, her salary was twice as much as before.
This kind of inexplicable treatment made Lu Yao a little confused.

The same applied to the people around her.
They voluntarily did everything today, leaving only some light work for Lu Yao, which differed from their usual behavior.

This apparent difference in attitude made Lu Yao confused, yet at the same time, she had a deeper understanding of the value of Dragon City University.

After leaving the workplace, she walked home.
She opened the door and noticed her parents were no longer home.
They must have gone out to work.

There was only the figure of a teenager in the house.
Chen Heng was still in his room at the moment, sitting there with a calm expression as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Yao carefully walked into the room.
Looking at Chen Heng’s expression, she could not help but feel nervous.

However, thinking about the favor she had been entrusted with, she walked forward and knocked on the door.

“Please come in.”

In the room, an indifferent, cold voice came from within.
However, Lu Yao was already somewhat used to it.
If it were in the past, his attitude would be even worse.

“Brother…”

She carefully walked in, looking at Chen Heng.
She asked, “Are you busy now?”

“No, I’m just thinking about something.”

Sitting on his bedside, listening to Lu Yao’s words, Chen Heng turned around and asked casually, “What’s wrong?”

“Actually…”

Lu Yao could not help but hesitate for a moment as she met Chen Heng’s gaze.
Then, she said, “I have something… that I want to trouble you with…”

“What is it?”

An indifferent voice sounded once again, but it was not as Lu Yao had imagined, where she would be rejected immediately.

Lu Yao seemed to have sensed Chen Heng’s attitude, and she spoke carefully.
“Actually, I have a friend who wants you to help bring back some things… But, he will pay double the price…”

As if afraid that Chen Heng would be dissatisfied, Lu Yao stood where she was and quickly added, worrying that Chen Heng would be angry over this.

To be honest, in the beginning, she actually did not want to do this, as she was not a person who liked to cause trouble for others.

It was just that the manager had given her the things instantly and did not give her any room to refuse.

Moreover, the manager had also said that she only needed to give it a try.
It did not matter even if she failed.
Hence, she was here.

But as she spoke, the place fell into a moment of silence.
The atmosphere could not help but become a little solemn.

Looking at Chen Heng’s calm expression, Lu Yao suddenly felt inexplicably regretful.

Perhaps, she shouldn’t have told Chen Heng about this.
This way, she wouldn’t make him unhappy and make things difficult for him.

At this moment, Lu Yao couldn’t help but have this thought flash through her mind and appear a little perturbed.
However, this kind of solemn atmosphere only lasted for a moment.

Sitting upright on the bedside, Chen Heng raised his head and looked at Lu Yao and casually nodded his head.
“Okay.
Tell that person that I will send the things back later on and ask him to prepare the money.”

With a calm expression, he said softly and agreed immediately.
To him, what Lu Yao said was indeed not a big deal.

It was just someone asking her for help, hoping to get some things from the academy through Chen Heng.

This was very typical, as quite a few people around had done it before.

The reason why this body’s predecessor had not done it before was that he was too arrogant.
Hence, he didn’t have many friends around.

If it were the predecessor, he would most likely reject this kind of thing directly.
However, it did not matter for Chen Heng.

It was a good thing, nothing wrong with helping someone.
Having more friends meant more opportunities, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, the person who came to ask for his help was not anyone else but his little sister.

Chen Heng’s expression was calm.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, Lu Yao was a little surprised.

She thought that she would be rejected by Chen Heng this time.
She did not expect that not only did he not reject her, but he had also even agreed to it.

This made her a little surprised.
For a moment, she had an inexplicable sense of pleasant surprise.

“Alright.”

Looking at Lu Yao, who was a little stunned, Chen Heng said softly and casually, “If there’s nothing else, you can go.
I don’t have anything for you to do here.”

“Ah… Okay…” Lu Yao hurriedly nodded and then walked out of the room.
Her face still seemed a little lost.
It was only after walking for a moment that she suddenly thought of something.
She picked up her phone and made a call.

The call was picked up a moment later, and a series of compliment voices came from the phone.
It was the middle-aged manager.

A moment later, the call ended under his compliment voices.

Lu Yao was still feeling lost and did not know what to say.
She was used to the past, so she didn’t expect this to be easy.

She didn’t expect to succeed immediately and was even prepared to be reprimanded by Chen Heng.

This surprised her, but at the same time, she was also shocked by Chen Heng’s change.

Chen Heng’s predecessor wouldn’t have been like this in the past.

“Big Brother… has changed a lot…”

After a moment, this thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help but feel relieved.

On the other side, Chen Heng sat alone in his room, in deep thought.

Chen Heng was now clear about the general background of this world, which seemed to be huge.

The power of humanity had long left the mother planet and gone into space, rooted in various places and even going against different space civilizations.

Even under such circumstances, powerful Beastmasters and martial artists were still the leading forces in this world.

An Imperial Beast under a powerful Beastmaster was enough to suppress an entire civilization and go against the whole interstellar civilization.

Under such circumstances, as a Beastmaster, Chen Heng’s status was naturally higher than an ordinary person, which was also the case.

As a Beastmaster, he could naturally awaken his telekinetic power and use it to strengthen himself.
He was instantly comparable to a martial artist who had practiced for many years.

If he could find a suitable Imperial Beast, he would be even more powerful.
The strength of a powerful Beastmaster was terrifying, as he could control and train an Imperial Beast.

The prospects were excellent.
However, the problem was also huge.
The most obvious problem was that Beastmasters lacked money.

In this world, the status and strength of a Beastmaster were unquestionable.

It was just that things that a Beastmaster could use were highly precious to a certain extent.

Whether it was the powerful Imperial Beasts, the various materials and medicines used to increase their telekinesis power, or even different supplementary methods, all of these required a large amount of money.

If one didn’t have enough money, there was no way to go far.

On this point, Chen Heng was naturally at a disadvantage because his body wasn’t from a good background.

His family couldn’t provide him with much help.
Thus, he could only rely on himself, and if he did, it would be difficult for him to gather enough money to buy a sufficiently powerful Imperial Beast.
It was almost impossible.

Hence, the only way out was to seek investment from others.
Perhaps he could take the initiative to join the expedition team and take a huge risk to obtain a high return from it.

Anyhow, it wasn’t a good idea.
There didn’t seem to be any unique way for Chen Heng.
Chen Heng fell into deep thought.

Funding was something he had to look for, unlike his predecessor, who clearly lacked these things, yet he didn’t want to bow to reality.

It was necessary to accept other people’s funding.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to go far.
Of course, there was still a big difference even if he had accepted the funding.

“According to the rules of this world, even if you want to receive funding from others, you’ll have to try your best to sell at a good price.
Firstly, you can gain the attention of others, and secondly, you can get more resources…”

Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he thought to himself, “And if you want to sell at a good price, I’ll have to stand out, have enough fame, and perform well enough.”

The reason was the same after all.
Someone would want to support you because of your bright future.

Since that was the case, naturally, the more outstanding you performed, the more support you could get from others because only if you were outstanding enough those people would have enough confidence to support you and invest in you.

Otherwise, why should they? Therefore, how to stand out was a problem that Chen Heng was currently thinking about.

‘It seems to be a good idea to do it through the examination and other avenues, but it’s too high-profile…’

This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

There were many assessments in Dragon City Academy.
Assessments alone include monthly assessments, half-yearly assessments, and a general assessment once a year, not to mention those additional assessments..
If one does well in the tests, one will get extra rewards.
