Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

"How big are you?"

Hearing the nickname Zoya gave to Instructor Li, Bai Kang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Upon closer reflection, I realized that the nickname is quite considerate and accurate, rather than "the reference does not match the actual product".

"Yeah, Li Kuai Tou, with all those muscles, he really is Li Kuai Tou," Zoya said matter-of-factly.

"He was also my advisor when I enrolled in school. How awful! He actually punished me by making me run twenty laps around Mianyue Lake because I was wearing too much makeup."

"Did the young lady run away?" Bai Kang asked curiously.

With Zoya's wealth, she could probably settle these kinds of things with money.

"They ran away!" Zoya said angrily.

On the screen, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and looked like she was hissing. If she wore a cat charm, she would look like a hissing cat, which was inexplicably cute.

"That despicable Li, he's actually an honest official! He refused the money I offered him!"

Bai Kang couldn't help but chuckle at her panting.

An honest official? It's interesting that this title could be bestowed upon a counselor.

However, based on Zoya's description, he had a prior understanding of Li Youwei's character: upright and incorruptible.

Having such a counselor is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that such a counselor will definitely be responsible to the end for the students.

The bad thing is that it will be troublesome for Bai Kang to skip classes in the future.

However, you still have to skip this class if you want to; a college student who doesn't skip class is incomplete!

As for how to escape... there will always be a way.

"By the way, Xiao Kangzi, although Li Kuaitou is annoying, I suggest you try to get on his good side," Zoya suddenly said.

"How so?" Bai Kang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm... Li Kuaitou was one of the first vanguard when the warp descended," Zoya said. "Calling them vanguard teams was a bit of a stretch; they were basically suicide squads. Back then, nobody knew what was on the other side of the warp, and nobody knew about having three lives."

"In fact, they discovered the fact that they had three lives. Back then, a large group of vanguard members who had died twice went on the third exploration of the warp, probably numbering over a hundred."

"In the end, only a dozen or so people returned alive, and Li Kuaitou was one of them. That expedition was the most devastating in the history of human exploration of the warp. Humanity learned that the warp is not a game; people can really die."

As she spoke, Zoya scratched her head, looking troubled:

"So, although I complain that he's heartless, I still respect him. And you, don't resent him just because he punishes you. Hmm... He experienced the despair of seeing his comrades die in front of him, so he genuinely hopes that you freshmen can grow up."

Bai Kang nodded slightly.

The vanguard... not just anyone dares to be one; without the determination to die, one isn't even qualified to be one.

China's intelligence on the subspace was gradually accumulated through wave after wave of vanguard teams.

How could Bai Kang harbor resentment towards pioneers?

His reverence came from the bottom of his heart.

"Miss, is there any way to get Instructor Li to approve my leave?"

"Approve leave?" Zoya asked sideways. "Why would I approve leave?"

Bai Kang scratched his head. "I did refuse your Demon King Club's invitation. I was thinking of creating my own club and being my own boss. Well... I might have to leave school because of this, and I'll have to ask Instructor Li for leave then."

Zoya frowned. "Create a club? You're that ambitious? Fine, fine, I won't object. If you need anything, just let me know. I can't guarantee anything else, but the Hafcoins are a real bargain!"

"As for taking leave... hehe, you'd better cultivate a good relationship with Li Kuaitou. Whether you can get special privileges depends on your own abilities."

"By the way, although Li Kuaitou doesn't accept bribes, he does like to drink Tieguanyin tea."

Bai Kang fell into deep thought.

Tieguanyin is not considered a top-grade tea; it is considerably inferior to teas like Da Hong Pao and Longjing.

Unexpectedly, the counselor of Mianyue University liked to drink this kind of tea, but considering Li Youwei's past identity as a vanguard, he felt relieved.

Such people never pursue luxury; instead, they prefer things that are less luxurious.

"Okay, thanks."

"Hey, you're my little brother, no need for thanks." Zoya waved her hand, giving him an expression that said, "If I don't protect you, who will?"

"By the way, about wheat—" Bai Kang suddenly brought up the important matter.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zoya's exaggerated acting on the screen.

"Huh? What? What did you say? Ugh, why is there no signal all of a sudden? How annoying! Oh well, let's stop here for today. I'm sleepy anyway. Bye-bye, Xiaokangzi, goodnight and sweet dreams~"

Bai Kang stopped in his tracks, looked down at his phone—the call had ended—his expression calm.

After a while, he put his phone in his pocket and continued walking. In the dead of night, the streetlights cast an infinitely long shadow of him.

There's no such thing as no signal. Ever since high technology was discovered from electronic items brought out from the Delta, China has long since achieved nationwide signal coverage without any blind spots.

Even if millions of people use the network simultaneously in a small area, there is no possibility of lag.

Zoya's exaggerated acting was simply because she didn't want to tell him about Wheat's condition.

……

The next day, when Bai Kang got out of bed, he felt like his body didn't belong to him anymore, and he almost cried out.

His muscles are incredibly sore; the aftereffects of running 300 kilometers yesterday are already showing. Lactic acid is piling up in his body, and he probably won't be able to run for the next day or two.

He glanced at the time, sighed, and quickly washed up and went out.

If I'm late again, then I'll really suffer.

On the way, he was in so much pain that he stopped a senior student halfway and took his electric scooter to the classroom.

Upon entering the classroom, Bai Kang found that more than half of the students had already arrived.

The moment he entered the classroom, almost all eyes were on him.

He's become quite famous now.

Ignoring the curious stares, Bai Kang limped to a window seat and calmly waited for class to begin.

On the other side, in the back row by the window, Wuming quietly gazed at Bai Kang.

Bai Kang left a deep impression on him; he saw Bai Kang last night while he was jogging.

He didn't expect Bai Kang to accept the punishment, especially since the pace was quite high.

With his knowledge, he could immediately tell that Bai Kang's awkward walking posture was caused by soreness due to excessive lactic acid buildup.

"This guy is not simple..." he thought to himself, shifting his gaze away from Bai Kang.

Soon, the first class began.

Bai Kang noticed that Li Youwei was looking in their direction, and he quickly flashed a bright smile.

Unfortunately, I only received a blank response.

"Tsk, this counselor is a bit difficult to deal with..." Bai Kang muttered.

The first lesson was about firearms, which felt like a review of knowledge before the college entrance examination.

Bai Kang found it somewhat boring, but he still forced himself to listen until the end.

The moment the bell rang, he immediately stood up and shouted:

"Li Kuaitou, stop here!"
