Chapter 10 Superman Has No Rice
"Well……"

Yu Jin woke up groggily in the hotel bed.

He was awakened by the buzzing of his phone vibrating beside his pillow.

"Who's ruining my 'Superman' dream in the middle of the night?"

Yu Jin was still somewhat dazed. He mumbled as he turned over and reached for his phone.

Toot——

The call is connected.

"Lao Yu!"

Where did you go?

"The recruitment drive is almost over and I still haven't seen you!"

"Senior Sister Yin and I have been waiting for you here for ages!"

Tang Yunxuan's two blunt sentences left Yu Jin somewhat bewildered.

Recruiting?

What kind of recruitment?
Swah——

Yu Jin sprang up from the bed and sat up, picking up his phone to take a look.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

【18: 25】

"hiss--"

Yu Jin immediately took a deep breath.

I slept for a whole day and night, from last night until the evening of the next day.

His memory was still stuck at the moment when the system notification appeared: "[You have become a third-tier evolver]".

"Club recruitment ends at 19 PM, less than half an hour left!"

Ember realized the seriousness of the problem.

Club recruitment is a major event that affects your chances of winning the 'Dawn City Lord' reward from the system!

Although the goal of recruiting one hundred new members is almost impossible to achieve, we should still give it a try...

Before Yu Jin could even examine the specific changes he had undergone as a 'Third-Tier Evolver,' he quickly got out of bed and rushed to the door.

next second.

Bang-!
A loud explosion rang out, and Yu Jin stood frozen in place.

He was holding the doorknob, which was connected to a door.

slam-la-

The door was damaged, and dust was falling from the ceiling.

"bad."

Yu Jin sensed something was wrong.

After the third-stage evolution, my physique seems to have been greatly improved.

So much so that with a sudden effort, he almost "fled out the door".

And not far away.

The cleaning lady in the opposite room heard the noise and turned around to look.

Eyes facing each other.

After a moment of silence.

The cleaning lady pressed the pager clipped to her waist—

"Front desk, front desk."

"The guest in room 405 pulled the door down."

……

……

Jiangcheng University.

The Hundred Learning Building, with its tiered lecture halls.

The venue for club recruitment activities.

Compared to yesterday, today is the last day of recruitment, and there are even more freshmen seeking to join the organization, filling almost the entire lecture hall.

Of course, this excludes the areas designated by the environmental protection society.

Even with the addition of Yin Yao, a star school beauty and senior, the area in front of the Environmental Protection Club remained deserted and ignored.

Although many freshmen, especially the first-year students, couldn't help but steal glances at Yin Yao, but...

Simply peeking is not enough to get me into the club; there's no way I'll ever get in.

The news that Yu Jin, the president of the environmental protection club, took Yin Yao to pick up trash at the university yesterday has spread far and wide.

While admiring the environmental protection club, the freshmen also kept their distance from it.

"Depend on!"

"Old Yu hung up on me!"

Tang Yunxuan put away his phone and muttered angrily.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yao spoke softly:
"Maybe he was too busy and forgot."

"But since you called to remind him, he should be here soon."

"Don't worry, we'll wait a little longer."

This statement came out.

Tang Yunxuan nodded at first, relieved that the senior hadn't blamed Yu Jin for being late. But then he frowned, feeling that something was off.

These few sentences...

It seems like those were the words I was originally going to say?
Tang Yunxuan shook his head vigorously, trying to stop himself from thinking about it.

However, to avoid his senior getting bored while waiting for the embers, he took the initiative to start a conversation:
"Senior, you don't look too well today."

"Didn't you sleep well?"

The words fell.

Yin Yao turned her head and glanced at Tang Yunxuan.

"Ah."

Yin Yao's response was somewhat lukewarm.

Tang Yunxuan scratched his head. He was telling the truth—compared to her imposing aura yesterday, Yin Yao today had huge dark circles under her eyes, a pale face, and her lips were even slightly purple. "If you have severe insomnia, senior, you can try taking some melatonin. I've personally tested it and it works!"

Tang Yunxuan added a sentence.

Yin Yao nodded her chin and didn't say anything more.

She didn't sleep well last night; to be more precise, she didn't sleep at all.

She spent the entire night trying to awaken using the 'contamination crystals'.

During this time, she endured countless hardships, to the point that in the end, Yin Yao herself became somewhat numb...

In the closed beta of the game Wasteland, everything was 100% realistic, or rather, completely real, including the pain feedback.

Compared to directly transmigrating to the wasteland world six days later, the only advantage is that you can 'not be afraid of death and can delete your account and start over'.

"13 times."

Yin Yao lowered her eyes slightly.

Last night she tried to awaken 13 times and 'died' 13 times!
The worst thing is—

Even so, Yin Yao still failed to awaken and become an evolved being.

"Let's continue tonight."

"As long as I can successfully awaken, it will all be worth it."

Yin Yao has a firm belief.

If she can successfully awaken as an evolved being, she can quickly become powerful by virtue of her precognitive advantage.

Simultaneously.

She was also curious about Ember's current progress in Wasteland.

I came to the club today specifically to recruit new members, hoping to find out more information about this. It would be even better if I could know the coordinates where the Embers spawn at the start of the game.

maybe……

That area holds the opportunity for Yu Jin to become incredibly powerful in the future.

The reason she specially arranged for someone to deliver the helmet to Yu Jin yesterday was precisely with this idea in mind: to build a good relationship and to do him a favor.

"Eh?"

Lost in thought, Yin Yao was pulled back to reality by Tang Yunxuan's surprised exclamation.

"how?"

Yin Yao looked at the vice president of the environmental protection club.

Tang Yunxuan's expression at this moment was extremely strange.

"Is it related to the embers?"

Yin Yao narrowed her eyes.

"Um……"

Tang Yunxuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and handed the phone to Yin Yao.

The phone is displaying the content of the VX dialog box.

ember--

[Old Tang, I need your help urgently!]

[Borrow some rice, I'll pay you back later!]

Tang Yunxuan —

【What? 】

How much should I borrow?

[Transfer 1500 yuan]

This is all my living expenses for this month.

ember--

Brotherhood is in the heart!

I'll ask Lao Cui and the others again; if we can scrape together a little more, that should be enough.

Tang Yunxuan —

【What did you do? 】

Why are you suddenly asking to borrow so much?

ember--

[…I accidentally damaged the hotel room door and have to pay 5,000 yuan in compensation.]

Tang Yunxuan —

【? ? ? 】

……

……

"call--"

Yu Jin walked out of the hotel and let out a long breath.

He glanced back.

The hotel manager was all smiles, waving enthusiastically and calling out, "Come again, come again!"

Yu Jin's face darkened slightly.

Damaging a door will cost you five thousand!

Ember initially refused to accept it.

Losing money is acceptable, but five thousand is not.

But as soon as he turned around, he showed the invoice.

Yu Jin had no choice but to borrow rice from Lao Tang.

After all, his monthly living expenses are only two thousand yuan, which isn't enough even if he spends it all.

Just didn't expect it.

In the end, it was that senior student, Ms. Yin, who helped me solve my problem.

Moreover, Yin Yao immediately transferred 50,000 yuan.

"He's a superman, but he has no rice and is living off his wife."

"What kind of Superman is this?"
