Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 140 The Most Outrageous Thing at Hongyun University

Lin Feng and his group toured the commercial area, and it was already six o'clock.

"It's lunchtime. Shall we eat nearby or go back to the cafeteria?"

Lin Feng asked for everyone's opinion.

"Let's go back to the cafeteria. I haven't eaten there since I came to Hongyun. I heard that the cafeteria has a wide variety of dishes, including all kinds of delicacies. I also heard from a senior that if you have money, the cafeteria can even cook dragon meat for you."

Gao Hai was the first to offer his suggestion, and when he talked about dragon meat, his eyes shone with the light of a true foodie.

"Want to eat dragon meat? I'll give it to you, would you dare?"

Lin Feng laughed.

The dragon meat Gao Hai mentioned was not the kind of sub-dragon beast with diluted bloodline, but a king-level true dragon above the ninth rank.

Lin Feng had no doubt that the cafeteria could get dragon meat.

As one of the three major hero academies, Hongyun University is full of powerful individuals. Each of its three vice-principals possesses the strength of a Martial King, and its instructors are also numerous, including thousands of advanced martial artists and advanced demon spirit masters!

As a hero academy with military and political background, Hongyun University's foundation is self-evident. Lin Feng guessed that there might be a few real dragon corpses hidden in the school's cold storage.

"I also want to eat in the cafeteria; I used to look forward to it when I was in school," Dong Xiaomei agreed.

"Let's go back then." After Lin Feng finished speaking, the group returned the way they came.

Hongyun University's canteen is not located in the commercial area; it is built in the residential area for the convenience of students.

When everyone appeared outside the cafeteria, it was already getting dark.

This is lunchtime.

Students, either in teams or dormitories, gathered in small groups, creating a lively atmosphere.

Hongyun has a large population and many canteens.

Following the flow of people, the group randomly chose the nearest cafeteria.

The cafeteria was packed with people, and the slightly noisy environment made Lin Feng frown.

The cafeteria is very large, with thirty windows.

Long queues formed at windows numbered 1 through 30, and in this crowded environment, there were two special windows between windows 15 and 16.

The two windows were unnumbered and located in the very center of the cafeteria, distinguished by special colors: one was red and the other was purple.

"Why are there no people at those two windows?" Gao Hai asked curiously.

Outside the red window, there were only a handful of people queuing, while the purple window was completely empty.

The dining environment of these two special windows is also different from that of the other numbered windows.

The dining environment at the regular window is white tiled and has plastic tables and chairs.

Both windows have exquisite marble floors, and the tables and chairs are more comfortable and luxurious. However, the two areas are different: the dining area with the red window has wooden armchairs, while the one with the purple window has genuine leather sofas.

"Is this a dining area reserved for professors? But I feel like those people are students too!"

After observing, Dong Xiaomei asked in confusion.

Yang Fan explained, "In Hongyun, mentors have their own private canteen and do not eat in the same canteen as students."

"Those two special areas, the red window represents the exclusive area for the top-ranked players, and the purple window represents the exclusive area for the top-ranked players."

Exclusive area!

After hearing Yang Fan's explanation, Lin Feng understood that this was what was meant by privilege.

The Strong List and the Popular List are two lists that Hongyun set up for its students.

There are two such lists for each grade.

The Ranking of Power is a list of the top 100 students based on their combat strength, with 100 positions available.

The Power Ranking, a list of players with combat power ranging from 101 to 1000, has 900 positions.

Making it onto the leaderboard proves one is a top performer in their grade.

Making it onto the popularity chart means you're a prominent figure in your grade.

Every student is proud to be on these two lists.

Those who make the list not only gain the envy and admiration of other students, but also receive rewards and privileges in terms of cultivation resources.

"This is deliberately discriminating against us. It's just a meal, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Gao Hai pursed his lips and couldn't help but complain.

Regular students live in five-person dorm rooms, while elite students live in single rooms.

The Throne Challenge has seats for one hundred people, who stay in villas!

Living in a villa is one thing!
You can live there if you want, but you have to build it on top of the student dormitory!
Go ahead and cover it up!
They're even arranged in a terraced pattern, with each building taller than the last, making them look like terraced fields.

In this comparison, those living in villas appear superior, seemingly above the students living in dormitories.

Now they even do this when it comes to eating.

They even set up a special passage and a special area.

So what if you're special!
The window was not only in a corner, but it was also right in the center, surrounded by everyone.

This blatant and undisguised discrimination is extremely unfriendly to weaklings like them.

Not only was it completely undisguised, but in Gao Hai's view, it was clearly something Hong Yun did on purpose.

Otherwise, just like mentors have their own cafeterias, the top players on the leaderboard and the popularity rankings should also have their own cafeterias—out of sight, out of mind. "That's a really clever move!"

Gao Hai sighed.

At noon, as he stood on the balcony of Villa No. 1, looking down at the dormitory clusters at the foot of the mountain, which resembled building blocks, and the tiny figures of students like black dots, he felt a truly exhilarating sensation.

Vanity and a sense of satisfaction are overflowing!
It is both wonderful and cruel.

Because Gao Hai only gets this feeling through connections.

"Fortunately, only those ranked in the top 1,000 in combat power receive this special treatment. If it were the top 5,000, I would rather walk more and go to the shopping street to eat."

Gao Hai muttered to himself.

Only a small minority enjoy this privilege, which is the only consolation.

"These two lists won't be available until the end of the semester, since the freshmen have just enrolled."

Dong Yunan asked in confusion.

Yang Fan explained, "For freshmen, the Throne Challenge is like the Popularity Ranking for the top 100 people who have seats. As for the Strong Ranking, it excludes these 100 people and is based on the top 900 people based on their college entrance examination scores."

"That's so flashy!"

Even Yun Kai, who was relatively quiet and didn't like to talk much in the team, couldn't help but speak up.

They even went so far as to describe it as flamboyant!
Beauty comes from contrast!
Only when you have something that I do not can you highlight your sense of happiness and vanity.

The strong get priority and enjoy special privileges!

This keeps all students in a constant state of comparison.

Such a comparison will naturally make people feel resentful and uncomfortable, leading to feelings of inferiority and anger!
But who cares!
No one cares except themselves!
University professors are quite different from those in junior high and high school.

If you can't demonstrate any value worth cultivating, your mentor won't even give you a second glance, say a word, or even remember who you are.

If you feel wronged, you can only keep it to yourself!

If I want to cry, I can only cry in bed.

If you complain and cry to others, you will not only be misunderstood, but also ridiculed and discriminated against. If you are unlucky, you might even be beaten up.

If one meal isn't enough, then have two!
I'll beat you until you stop crying.

Therefore, the only way to change all of this is through diligent self-cultivation!

Stop envying others and become one of the privileged few!

This teaching style is not unique to Hongyun University.

The three major hero academies and the nine elite joint schools all adhere to the principle of respecting the strong and prioritizing the strong, only to varying degrees.

However, Hongyun exemplified this tactic to the extreme and in the most blatant way.

According to previous students: Hongyun is the most flamboyant!

According to the upperclassmen, this is just the beginning of his outrageous antics; there will be a series of even more outrageous actions to come, and it will only get more outrageous!

"Then we'll have to separate after just one meal?" Gao Hai said with a helpless expression.

He and Yang Fan were weaklings who got in through connections, ranking at the very bottom of the entire school.

Seeing Gao Hai's discomfitured expression, Yang Fan laughed:
"That's not true. I specifically asked my senior, and he said that a top-ranked expert can bring one person to enjoy this privilege, while a top-ranked expert can bring two people."

"It's alright, then what are we waiting for? Let's go, I'm starving," Gao Hai said quickly.

With a special lane available, there's naturally no need to queue.

This special treatment can indeed bring a sense of vanity and satisfaction. Even Gao Hai, who had just complained, couldn't help but deliberately hold his head high and puff out his chest, enjoying the envious and jealous looks from others.

This has no value to Lin Feng, and he won't feel anything about it.

In his view, it's perfectly normal for the strong to have priority and enjoy privileges.

There's nothing special about it.

Just like cows eating grass and people eating cows, you talk about equality, that's ridiculous.

Humans are born unequal.

Saying something as foolish as "equality for all" will only invite ridicule.

While the strong enjoy privileges, they are also given more responsibilities.

Lin Feng and his group headed toward the special area, attracting the attention of many students who were queuing or eating along the way.

"Hey, it's the Wind God and the Emperor Kai!"

"All three have arrived before the Throne Challenge – the legendary top-tier lineup!"

"If only I could join their team, Lin Feng and Yun Kai both seem to be going for the berserker route in the future, and they just need a mage with high damage output."

"Indeed, if you could join their team, you would save at least ten years of hard work."

As many students discussed it, their eyes revealed envy and longing.

Aside from a few disdainful shrugs, few people complained about this privilege.

Those who get into Hongyun are all geniuses, and geniuses all have their own pride. Having learned from the lessons of the Throne Challenge, they understand that this was done intentionally by the school. Complaining is useless and will only make them a laughing stock.

The students looked away, seemingly unfazed, but many secretly clenched their fists.
