Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Chicken Bro glanced at the burly man who had spoken and said, "Are you out of your mind? Can't you even understand something this simple?"

The burly man scratched his head innocently: "Brother Chicken, I'm uneducated, please explain it clearly!"

"You think that just because you've achieved a little success now, you're exceptionally talented and can compete with those young people?" Chicken Brother rolled his eyes.

The burly man was speechless: "Isn't that right? We've all reached the first level of Qi Refining..."

"You son of a bitch...don't you even know how you got started?" Chicken Bro kicked the other guy again.

"Without Boss Ye's guidance, you might not even have achieved Qi Refining yet. You really think you're so great? You want to compete with those real geniuses?!"

"Uh..." The burly man scratched his head without refuting.

Many people are like this; they easily get carried away with small achievements and forget where they came from.

Chicken Bro snorted: "Hmph, for ordinary people like us, the only chance to change our fate is to choose sides. If you choose the right side, you'll take off; if you choose the wrong side... you'll still be an ordinary person. Doesn't that make sense?"

After finishing speaking, Brother Chicken looked around at the three of them.

The three burly men nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Brother Chicken was somewhat satisfied.

"Working for Boss Ye is a step forward. Stop being so ambitious and just focus on doing solid work. Boss Ye will naturally notice. Do you think Boss Ye would treat you unfairly?"

"Someone at Boss Ye's level could easily slip through our fingers and still allow us to surpass most people, ensuring we won't be left behind by the times!"

"To put it bluntly, look at how many people want to be Boss Ye's dog but don't even have the chance. Don't take your blessings for granted; you can't even copy the correct answer properly!"

"Of course, if any of you want to join the academy, I have no objection. Go ahead and apply. Given your starting point of Qi Refining Level 1, the treatment will definitely not be bad. You'll be 100% accepted, and you might even be given important responsibilities!"

That's all I have to say. Think it over carefully!

After Chicken Bro finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.

Even a seventh-rank official can rise to the rank of prime minister by virtue of his position. But if one were to leave the prime minister's patronage and try to climb the ranks through their own merit...

It's probably not much harder than getting the top score in the imperial examination!

Although the burly men were rough and uneducated, they instantly understood after Brother Chicken's explanation.

Wasn't it precisely because of their persistence that they gained Boss Ye's approval and that's how they got to where they are today?

Many brothers regretted it and wanted to come back, but they never had the chance.

Once you leave, you can never come back!

Although if they go to the academy now, Elder Ye probably won't say anything, and their initial treatment at the academy should be quite good.

But in that case, their connection with Boss Ye would be severed!

The pros and cons should not be difficult to weigh.

Those who serve three masters will never have a good end.

"Brother Chicken, I understand. I was just asking casually. I won't leave Boss Ye!"

The burly man immediately expressed his opinion!

The other two echoed, "We'll follow Boss Ye and Brother Chicken for the rest of our lives!"

Chicken Brother nodded in satisfaction: "Fools have their own principles, and likewise, they have their own blessings. Do your job well; being able to work for Boss Ye is something many people envy!"

......

Indeed, if anyone knew about the extraordinary adventures of Brother Chicken and his companions, they would probably be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

At Lucheng University of Technology, many teachers, leaders, and reporters have visited Xiao Qi's dormitory these days.

With Xiao Qi absent, Chen Tingting, Liu Yiyi, and Wang Zhaodi, who were Xiao Qi's roommates, naturally became the interviewees.

Liu Yiyi and Wang Zhaodi were both very excited because of Xiao Qi's fame, and they praised Xiao Qi to the point of exhaustion in front of the reporters.

Chen Tingting was extremely upset. Asking her to praise Xiao Qi? She'd rather just kill her!

The feeling of having her protagonist aura stolen lingered in her mind, and she hadn't smiled since returning to school after the field test.

She has been forced to return the money she received!

In short, he didn't gain any benefits and even gained a bad reputation.

People don't give her a friendly look anymore; her protagonist aura has disappeared.

To be honest, she was also shocked when she saw Xiao Qi display his amazing supernatural powers.

She never expected Xiao Qi to be so amazing; it exceeded her expectations.

But so what? She couldn't be happy at all; instead, her heart was filled with bitterness and jealousy.

All of this should have been hers!

This halo, this glory, should all belong to her!

If she hadn't rejected her cousin back then...

The person who suffered the most at the entire Xiamen University of Technology was probably Chen Tingting...

She felt upset whenever someone came to their dorm to ask about Xiao Qi!

The repeated discomfort made her lose all interest in cultivation, and her temper became unusually irritable, often leading to arguments with others.

Everyone knew she was Ye Chen's cousin, so they didn't take it too seriously.

If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?

It's all about whether they pay attention to you or not!

Many people began to distance themselves from Chen Tingting, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Even Liu Yiyi, Wang Zhaodi, and Chen Tingting spoke much less frequently.

On this day, the first batch of admissions to the Institute of Paranormal Science Research was announced!

Only Wang Zhaodi from Chen Tingting's dormitory was admitted!

Chen Tingting felt like the whole world was against her. Why?

Why is it that Wang Zhaodi, that shorty, can be admitted, while she, Ye Chen's cousin, can't?

"Wang Zhaodi, you got accepted, are you happy? Are you laughing at me now?" Chen Tingting angrily rebuked Wang Zhaodi.

Wang Zhaodi was genuinely happy to have been accepted, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

But she didn't laugh at Chen Tingting. What was Chen Tingting doing now?

Wang Zhaodi waved her hands repeatedly: "No, Tingting, why would you think that?"

"Not yet? Your mouth is practically stretched to your ears. You must be feeling pretty smug right now, huh!" Chen Tingting got angry and rushed over to slap Wang Zhaodi.

*Smack!*

Chen Tingting's slap didn't land on Wang Zhaodi's face as she hoped; instead, Wang Zhaodi simply raised her hand and caught it!

Chen Tingting struggled twice, but couldn't break free!

How is that possible?

Wang Zhaodi wasn't as strong as her before, so how come she could easily withstand her sudden slap now, and even after being grabbed, she couldn't break free...

"Tingting, what are you doing? Why are you taking your anger out on me because you weren't accepted?" Wang Zhaodi's face flashed with anger.

She has a good temper and usually doesn't bother with arguments or disputes.

But that doesn't mean she's someone who can be bullied by anyone.

Especially since they slapped me right in the face.

Wang Zhaodi was furious!

"Let go!" Chen Tingting shouted angrily.

Wang Zhaodi flung her hand, causing Chen Tingting to stumble. Chen Tingting then slapped Wang Zhaodi across the face again.

Long-suppressed emotions always need to be vented!

*Smack!*

Chen Tingting received another slap.
