Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"I'll lead the way!"

Wang Sheng had witnessed the two men's skills firsthand and felt deep respect for them.

He had never seen such a fierce work-study student, especially Ao Yin, who sent him flying several meters with a single slap.

"But Xiaowu has no money on her," Xiaowu muttered softly.

Ao Yin raised an eyebrow.

The currency in circulation on the mainland is Soul Coins, and his storage bag was stuffed full of 100,000 copper Soul Coins, all earned from signing in at Holy Soul Village.

Although he was nominally a work-study student, he was even more wealthy than some powerful families and didn't have to do any work at all.

Wang Sheng patted his chest first, exceptionally enthusiastic: "Don't worry! I'll cover all the food today, Sister Xiaowu, eat as much as you want!"

He wondered to himself, how much could a little girl possibly eat?

A meal won't cost much. If you get along well with these two, your future prospects might be brighter.

Xiao Wu jumped up and clapped her hands, her face beaming with joy: "That's wonderful! Wang Sheng, you're such a kind person!"

"Let's go eat quickly, Xiaowu is starving."

"Haha, Sister Xiaowu, feel free to eat as much as you want later!" Wang Shengxi replied happily.

Ao Yin shook his head slightly, withdrew his hand that was about to touch the soul coins, and followed Wang Sheng to the cafeteria.

...

Notting College Canteen!

When we arrived, it was lunchtime.

At this moment, the cafeteria was packed with people. Wang Sheng looked around, trying to find an empty table.

Ao Yinming clearly saw that there was still an empty table in the middle of the cafeteria, but then she heard Wang Sheng say, "Let's eat outside, there are no seats here."

Ao Yin interrupted him, "Isn't there an empty seat in the middle?"

Wang Sheng followed the gaze and his face paled, fear lurking in his eyes: "Those are seats reserved for aristocratic students; ordinary work-study students are not allowed to touch them."

"Exclusively for nobles? Does it have to be for nobles?" Ao Yin asked with a light laugh.

"No, it's just that the price is so high that only wealthy nobles can afford it!"

"Can you just sit here if you have money?" Ao Yin asked casually.

Wang Sheng forced a smile and explained, "That makes sense, but we lower-class folks can't afford to offend the aristocratic children in the city. How about we find somewhere else..."

"No, Xiao Wu, let's sit here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Yin led Xiao Wu straight to the empty seats in the middle and sat down.

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and followed, secretly praying that he wouldn't run into those aristocratic playboys.

He could barely afford a meal; he didn't have much savings, but he couldn't lose face.

But as soon as he sat down, Wang Sheng regretted it.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she looked at the menu.

"This, this... and this!"

After a series of gestures, they ordered almost the entire menu.

Wang Sheng's hand holding the water glass trembled uncontrollably; each of these dishes was incredibly expensive.

After this meal, my savings are completely depleted; I'll have to work at least two jobs from now on.

But he had already made his statement, and he couldn't afford to lose face.

"Serve the food," Ao Yin said calmly.

Wang Sheng, like him, was also a work-study student at the college and was not wealthy.

He could tell that Wang Sheng was short of money and never intended for him to pay the bill from the beginning.

While the food was being served, Ao Yin excused himself to go to the restroom and went to the cashier ahead of time to settle the bill. It was only a little over a thousand copper soul coins, which was nothing to him.

However, as soon as he returned to the dining table, a series of harsh and sarcastic remarks reached his ears.

"Isn't that Wang Sheng, the work-study student?"

"He's usually so stingy with food, but today he's really splurgeing."

"Are you trying to fool the new girl? Hahahaha!"

"Get out of here! We reserved this spot a long time ago!"

Wang Sheng's face turned ashen; he had run into the person he feared most.

But he dared not retort, only clenching his teeth in anger, his eyes reddening.

Xiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore. Wang Sheng had come here to treat her to a meal, and they were roommates from Dormitory 7. How could she let others bully her?

She jumped up, hands on her hips, and shouted, "The cafeteria isn't your private property! Who are you bothering by our meals? Why are you bullying the people from Dormitory 7!"

A group of noble youths burst into laughter.

"This seating expense could wipe out his entire savings. A bunch of paupers, do they deserve to eat this kind of food?"

"The little girl is pretty; she'll play with us for a bit, and we'll treat her to this meal."

Xiao Wu's anger surged, and she was about to explode.

pop- pop-

Several sharp slaps rang out.

The once bustling cafeteria instantly fell silent.

The young nobleman at the head of the group had a burning slap on his face, with a clear, bright red handprint visible.

"Who?"

Ao Yin appeared in front of them at some point; he was the one who had slapped them earlier.

He uttered two words indifferently, "Noisy."

He casually wiped his hands, thinking that it was too dirty to hit this group of spoiled brats.

His cold gaze swept over the crowd, full of contempt.

He could not tolerate their bullying of others and their lewd remarks towards Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng, relying on their noble family background.

"You dare hit me?"

Do you know who I am?

When questioned, Ao Yin didn't even raise his eyes. Even if he didn't ask, they would have spoken up on their own.

Just as he expected.

"My name is Ling Feng. The dean is my brother-in-law's uncle's second uncle's cousin! If you know what's good for you, kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, I'll kick you out of the academy!" the boy roared, his voice filled with bluster but his heart was weak.

Ao Yin paused, amused by the scene.

"This relationship is quite complicated, isn't it?"

The other party, assuming he was afraid, became even more arrogant: "If you're scared, then kneel down quickly!"

boom!

Ao Yin unleashed his full power and threw a punch.

Ling Feng was instantly bruised and swollen, saw stars, and his legs went weak, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground.

Ao Yin calmly turned around and sat back down at the dining table.

The students in the audience were deeply moved and dared not utter a sound.

Behind Ling Feng, a lackey shouted, "Brothers, let's go together and teach him a lesson!"

Looking back, he saw that all his companions had retreated several meters, and no one dared to step forward.

Ao Yin exuded a powerful aura, and this group of people were always bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, unwilling to get into trouble.

He was the only one left holding on, his voice trembling: "What are you afraid of! He's just a freshman, his soul power level is definitely not as high as ours, why are there so many of us afraid of him?"

"Whoever beats him to a pulp, I, Ling Feng, will reward them handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, the retreating crowd trembled and surrounded them again.

"Junior, you can't mess with Senior Ling Feng!!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Several martial spirit auras rose up.

Ao Yin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and casually grabbed a pair of wooden chopsticks from the container.

With a flick of his wrist, the [Little Li Flying Dagger] was unleashed.

"Stop making noise, all of you kneel down."

The wooden chopsticks were precisely aimed at the knees and thighs of the group.

Pfft!Pfft!

A group of spoiled brats all knelt on the ground.

Screams of agony rose and fell.

"The so-called senior students are utterly incompetent."

Ao Yin coldly surveyed the crowd, "You worthless piece of trash, how dare you touch my people?"

Bang bang bang!

Ao Yin unleashed his [power of a thousand jun].

He kicked each of those spoiled brats out the door.

So what if this group of people enrolled in school early?

Without even a spirit ring, he couldn't withstand a single blow from him.

Even when encountering senior students with spirit rings, he was not afraid at all.

"roll."

Ao Yin gave a cold shout.

Several people outside the door were writhing on the ground in pain.

Looking at Ao Yin as if he had seen a demon, he scrambled and crawled away, uttering threats: "Seventh Dormitory, right? When Boss Xiao comes back in a couple of days, you're all dead!"

Xiao Wu clapped her hands and cheered, then turned to look at Wang Sheng, "Don't be a coward anymore, don't be afraid of these people!"

Wang Sheng was extremely panicked.

Looking around the cafeteria, the tables and chairs were smashed to pieces.

If you break anything on campus, you have to pay for it!

The thought had barely formed in my mind when the cafeteria manager rushed over.

"It's your table fighting again!"

The auntie, with a shrill voice, pointed at the two of them and berated them, "You'll have to pay for the table and chairs, the spilled food, everything!"

"A total of ten thousand copper soul coins!"

Wang Sheng felt his heart skip a beat.

Even if you bought him, you wouldn't be able to scrape together 10,000 copper soul coins.

He looked at Xiao Wu helplessly.

"Don't look at me, Xiao Wu doesn't have a single penny."

Upon hearing this, the aunt instantly flew into a rage, raising her voice to the maximum.

"You dare cause trouble if you have no money? If you can't afford to pay, you'll have to stay and wash dishes for a semester!"

Many students around them glanced at the scene and whispered among themselves.

"Tsk tsk, broke but still dares to act tough and pick up girls with a green onion stuck in his nose?"

"You dare to lay a hand on me? You've only got yourself into trouble!"

Hearing the commotion, Ao Yin slowly walked over.

Soul Coins?

He may not have much else, but he has plenty of this.

"The bill for the food has already been paid."

Ao Yin said calmly, "I'll take full responsibility for any damage."

He raised his hand and slammed a heavy bag of copper soul coins onto the table, the coins scattering with a clatter.

"Here are 20,000 copper soul coins. For the rest, bring me another table of dishes."

The moment the aunt saw the large sum of money, her expression changed drastically, and she beamed with a wide, fleshy smile.

They made a killing!

"Please sit wherever you like, classmate! Just tell me what you'd like to eat, and Auntie will arrange it for you!"

Wang Sheng was completely dumbfounded.

How could a part-time worker be so rich!

Ao Yin's identity suddenly became unfathomable in his mind.

He secretly guessed that this person was definitely not from the countryside, but a young master from a large family who had come out to gain experience.

Ao Yin looked at Xiao Wu and said generously, "Eat as much as you want. If you're not full, order another table."

"Yay! I'm starting to eat!"

Xiao Wu was starving, so she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and ate a really cool meal.

While eating, she kept putting food on Ao Yin's plate.

"This meat is delicious, here you go!"

Wang Sheng was stunned.

Xiao Wu's appetite is no less than Ao Yin's.

In a short while, all the dishes on the table were gone, leaving only bones and scraps.

"Burp~ I'm full!"

Xiao Wu rubbed her tummy and laughed.

Ao Yin picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Eat as much as you like, but don't let it affect your development."

...

"By the way, who is this 'Boss Xiao' that group of people were talking about?!"

Ao Yin looked at Wang Sheng beside him and asked.

Wang Sheng swallowed hard and said, "It's Xiao Chenyu, a sixth-grade student, who possesses a hundred-year-old soul ring. His strength is extremely terrifying!"

A hundred-year-old soul ring?

Ao Yin sneered, "The purity is too low."

Just as I was about to leave, a system notification sounded.

[The check-in location has been updated: Notting College - Dining Hall.]

[Remaining check-in attempts: 2]

[Have you checked in?]

"Check-in!"

Ao Yin muttered to himself.
