Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

Just then, a loud banging of gongs and drums suddenly came from downstairs.

Dong dong qiang!

The noise was deafening, mixed with shouts from the elderly.

"What's going on?" Lin Yu walked to the window and looked down.

A large crowd had gathered in the small square downstairs from the dormitory building, creating a lively scene.

A number of students gathered around, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"What kind of activity is the school organizing?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

Lin Ya also leaned closer to the window, looking down curiously: "It's so lively! What are they celebrating?"

Lin Xue remained calm: "It looks like a welcoming ceremony."

Lin Shan stood behind Lin Yu, her eyes wary: "Master, should I go and investigate?"

"No need..." Lin Yu had just finished speaking when her phone rang.

It was a call from my tutor, Li Yue.

"Lin Yu, where are you now?" Li Yue's voice was somewhat excited.

"Teacher Li, I'm in the dormitory."

"Come down quickly! The record-breaking reward the school arranged for you has arrived, it's downstairs!"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that the commotion downstairs was actually prepared for him.

"Okay, I'll be right down." He hung up the phone.

"Master, what's wrong?" Lin Xue asked.

"The school is here to deliver the awards," Lin Yu said. "They're downstairs. The three of you come down with me."

"Yay!" Lin Ya immediately perked up. "A reward? Will it be something delicious?"

"All you ever think about is eating," Lin Yu said, both amused and exasperated. "Change your clothes first."

The three women nodded.

Lin Xue and Lin Ya skillfully concealed their animal ears and tails.

Lin Shan also folded her wings.

The three of them changed into simple sportswear.

Although simple, its good looks still attract attention.

Lin Yu led them downstairs.

As soon as I stepped out of the dormitory building, everyone's eyes were on me.

The students whispered among themselves:

"Is that Lin Yu, the senior? The one who broke the national record?"

"Who are those three beautiful women in the back? They're all so pretty!"

"The one with silver hair has such a great aura, the one with pink hair is so cute, and the one with blonde hair..."

"That blonde has an amazing figure, and she has a kind of divine quality!"

"What kind of incredible luck is this? So powerful, and with three beautiful women by his side..."

Lin Yu ignored the discussions and looked towards the center of the crowd.

Principal Wang Defa, along with counselor Li Yue, grade director, and other school leaders, were standing in the small square waiting.

Around them was an elderly waist drum team.

A dozen or so elderly men and women, dressed in matching red performance costumes, were energetically beating waist drums and gongs.

Wait, why is there an elderly waist drum team here?

This scene left Lin Yu looking puzzled.

Upon seeing Lin Yu emerge, Wang Defa immediately broke into a smile and quickly approached her.

"Lin Yu!" He warmly shook Lin Yu's hand. "Thank you so much!"

"You've brought honor to our school!"

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed: "Principal Wang, you're too kind."

"Of course, of course!" Wang Defa's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "You're the first student in our school's history to break a national record!"

"This is a historic breakthrough!"

He glanced at the three girls behind Lin Yu and sighed inwardly:

No wonder he's a genius; living with three beautiful women at such a young age, and his body can still handle it...

As for the rule that female students are not allowed to enter the male dormitories, he thinks it should be changed now.

After all, rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

"Here, this is a reward from the school for you." Wang Defa took an exquisite gift box from Li Yue's hand.

Inside, there was a gleaming gold medal.

The medal is engraved with: "Best Team of Wujiang Vocational and Technical College of Extraordinary Abilities: Lin Yu Team".

Then, he took out a check and handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took it and was stunned.

The amount written on it is 50 yuan!

"Principal, this is..." He looked up at Wang Defa.

"A bonus," Wang Defa said with a smile. "You've brought such great honor to the school; this is a small token of the school's appreciation."

It has to be said that Wang Defa really went all out this time.

Previously, the highest reward the school could give to outstanding students was 1 yuan.

He directly increased Lin Yu's promotion by 50 times.

Moreover, he saved a lot of the "expenses" for this awards ceremony—such as the cost of the venue and the cost of hiring a professional performance team.

This elderly waist drum team was formed by retired teachers from the school, and they don't charge any money.

All the money saved was given to Lin Yu in cash.

Wang Defa's plan was very shrewd:

He knew that Lin Yu was still in the early stages, and the more bonus he gave, the more the other party would remember him.

Once the other side has taken off, you can't break them down no matter how much money you throw at them.

After all, by then, what they'll lack isn't money, will they?

What people truly lack is something few can afford to provide!

Now is the perfect time to invest.

Lin Yu looked at the check in her hand, her feelings complicated.

50 is not a small amount for him.

Although he has 75 yuan in cash on him now, who would complain about having too much money?

Moreover, this demonstrates the importance the school places on it.

"Thank you, Principal," he said sincerely.

"Of course, of course," Wang Defa waved his hand. "Is there anything else you're having that the school can help you with?"

"Go ahead and say it!"

Lin Yu thought about it and realized there really was something.

"Principal Wang, I'd like to find the school's weapon smiths to help me make some jewelry," he said. "I'll cover the materials and expenses myself."

"Jewelry?" Wang Defa's eyes lit up. "Is it the material for the record-breaking reward?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, I want to create 5 pieces of epic quality jewelry."

"No problem!" Wang Defa immediately decided, "Leave this to the school!"

"Don't worry about the manufacturing costs, the school will take care of them!"

He turned to Li Yue and said, "Teacher Li, arrange a car. I'll take Lin Yu to see Master Yao Fei right now."

"Okay, Principal." Li Yue immediately went to make the call.

Wang Defa then introduced to Lin Yu: "Master Yao Fei is a specially appointed 'Weapon Forging Master' at our school, capable of forging equipment of epic quality."

"He's near the school, let's go there now."

"Master Refiner" is a B-level profession, which is very rare as a life skill profession.

Lin Yu never expected that the school would invite such a prominent figure.

He nodded: "Thank you, Principal."

……

At this moment, on the outskirts of the crowd, a figure was standing there blankly.

It was Xia Yue.

She had just returned from the training room and saw so many students gathered around, so she curiously came over to see what was going on.

Today she complained to several sycophants in her "fishpond" that she had been bullied by Lin Yu and had even received a lot of "tribute" from him.

Red envelopes, materials, and even a piece of high-quality equipment.

My mood was originally very good.

As a result, she squeezed into the crowd and saw the principal handing the medal and a check for 50 yuan to Lin Yu.

50 million!

Xia Yue's eyes instantly turned red.

If... if Lin Yu hadn't left the team, she would definitely have received a share of these rewards!

The honor of breaking the national record, a prize of 50 yuan, and the school's attention...

These should all belong to the Dawn Squad!

It's hers!

But now?

Lin Yu left, Li Xu ran away...

The Dawn Squad's training didn't seem to have any effect.

Xia Yue could only watch helplessly as Lin Yu enjoyed boundless glory, accompanied by three girls with whom he had an unusual relationship.

"I……"

"Why did I... force Lin Yu to leave the team in the first place...?"

She murmured, her voice trembling with tears, "I was so stupid, so stupid..."

A student nearby recognized her.

"Isn't that Xia Yue? The captain of the Dawn Squad?"

"I heard she's the one who kicked Lin Yu out of the team. She's regretting it now, isn't she?"

"Serves her right. Now she can only watch others receive awards; it's none of her business."

"50...that's enough to buy so much equipment..."

The whispers around her felt like needles pricking Xia Yue's heart.

She couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around dejectedly and slunk back to her dormitory.

His silhouette was lonely and desolate.
