Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"Connected."

Chen Nian was also curious: who would call him?

[Connected, voice call is encrypted]

"It's me, Chen Nian. My senior just got your contact information from Ya Xin. I hope you don't mind, hehe!"

Chen Nian was incredibly surprised. After the encrypted call, the voice rang directly in his brain. It seemed that the World Tree Emblem truly possessed magical power.

"Senior An, you're too kind. Is there anything I can help you with?"

As Chen Nian spoke, Hao Jin's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at him.

An Qingluo called you on her own initiative? Dude, you're getting way too good of a treatment, damn!

"It's nothing. I was just worried you wouldn't be able to find the cafeteria, so I treated you to dinner. My roommate is also quite interested in you; she's been pestering me with gossip."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense..." came An Qingluo's roommate's voice from the other end of the phone.

Chen Nian readily agreed: "Of course I'd be more than happy to have you treat me to a meal, especially since I don't know what's good to eat in the cafeteria."

Just then, Chen Nian noticed Hao Jin frantically gesturing to him, as if saying: "Please take me with you, please take me with you!"

"Oh, by the way, senior, my roommate wants to come too, is that okay?" Chen Nian asked.

Hao Jin gave a thumbs up.

However, An Qingluo laughed and said, "Of course not. It's the first time your senior is treating a boy to dinner. You're not secretly happy, but you want to bring someone along. That's a bit too much."

"Okay, okay, I'll apologize to you in person tonight when we meet."

Chen Nian only ended the call after An Qingluo hung up, and helplessly shrugged at Hao Jin.

"I've already said it, if my senior doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do."

"Damn it!! Why are you treated so well? Do you know how many people want to invite Senior An to dinner every day, even senior students from the advanced department, but this is the first time she's ever taken the initiative to invite someone!"

Chen Nian smiled and said, "Then I wouldn't know."

He didn't intend to tell anyone about the big favor he had done for An Qingluo before.

"Forget it, a cute and capable senior like me is only suitable to be a goddess, not a girlfriend. I know my place. My goal is another girl. Chen Nian, you can do it. If you can win over the senior, you'll be a legend in our year."

Chen Nian smiled but didn't say anything. Although An Qingluo's sweet appearance as a two-dimensional beauty suited his aesthetic, his main purpose in coming here was not to flirt with women, but to become stronger.

"By the way, why are most of the things here at the academy similar to those back home? For example, this... airplane X, they even have something like that?" Chen Nian asked curiously.

"That's right. The academy's naming convention is based on the habits of most worlds, proving that your world is similar to the mainstream."

"That's quite convenient."

Chen Nian chatted with Hao Jin for a long time in the dormitory, and learned about some of the rules of the college.

It was soon evening.

Chen Nian went to the cafeteria early, thinking about what to bring back for his senior, preferably something like milk tea, as bringing a cup when meeting a girl would greatly increase her favorability.

You wouldn't believe it until you go, and it's actually there!

The shop, which offers a variety of drinks including milk tea, fruit tea, and coffee, is located on the first floor of the cafeteria.

As for the money used here, Ya Xin has already said that a basic living allowance of 100,000 yuan will be automatically deposited into his account every month, which he can use as he pleases.

Chen Nian took two cups of milk tea and waited downstairs at the girls' dormitory.

Just as the appointed time arrived, An Qingluo and another girl came downstairs.

The senior student's outfit was sweet and cute, with pink as the main color for her dress and an adorable headband. She looked just like her favorite food, overflowing with sweetness.

As for her other roommate, she was also a tall, beautiful, and elegant girl. When the two walked side by side, she looked like An Qingluo's older sister.

Chen Nian stepped forward to greet them and handed them the milk tea as well: "Please have some milk tea, senior sisters. I specially ordered this one with extra sugar."

"You're quite sensible!"

An Qingluo smiled and took the milk tea. "This is my roommate Sun Qian. And this is Chen Nian, a rising star among freshmen."

"Junior Chen, you know, the people who deliver milk tea to Qingluo every day could form a basketball team. In the end, all the other girls on our floor drink it, but she doesn't. As a result, everyone else has gained a lot of weight, but she's still maintained such a great figure!"

Sun Qian smiled and said, "This is the first time she's accepted milk tea from someone in a positive light. You're quite something!"

An Qingluo rolled her eyes: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's go eat."

As we walked, she explained, "The first floor of the college cafeteria offers the cheapest options like large pot meals, set meals, and fried rice, which are very inexpensive. The second floor is more upscale, with various elaborate dishes available. The third floor is synonymous with luxury; a meal there costs tens of thousands of yuan. Ordinary students have a monthly allowance of 50,000 yuan, so they can't afford to eat there."

Fifty thousand? Chen Nian wondered why he had one hundred thousand. Was it some kind of special treatment?

"Where shall we go to eat?"

"Of course it's the third floor! It's my treat, how could I let you eat on the first floor?" An Qingluo walked ahead.

Sun Qian chimed in from behind, "You're so generous, Qingluo! You usually act like it's your life if I treat you to a meal on the second floor, but you take the new junior to the third floor?"

"If you say another word, I might not treat you to a meal, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

The decoration on the third floor emphasizes elegance and style!

There is no lobby; all rooms are private, some with a classic style, others with a horror theme, a refreshing grassland theme, a romantic candlelight theme, and so on...

Ordering is done directly on the electronic screen in the private room, and then staff will bring the food to you.

A moment later, the exquisite meal was served.

"These are all top-notch dishes from various worlds. We're mainly here to select the best and learn from them. Junior, do you have any dishes you could recommend from your world?"

"Yes, hot pot."

"What's that? A pot that's been heated over a fire?"

"It's a hodgepodge of various vegetables cooked in a pot of red oil broth."

"Do you have sweet hot pot?" An Qingluo asked, blinking.

"Haha, no, they're all spicy."

After a brief chat, Chen Nian smoothly got to the point: "Senior, now that I'm here, how can I become stronger?"

After all, he didn't come here to talk about love.

Currently, the lower world is being constantly eroded and destroyed, and the E-03 world where Chen Nian is located is only in the middle layer.

As the calamity continues to erode upwards, even more powerful enemies will soon arrive in his world.

An Qingluo was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect her junior to be in the mood to care about such things while having dinner with her. This guy is quite serious.

"The only shortcut to becoming stronger is through the consciousness of the World Tree. It can directly help us increase our power, even divine power!"

"What are the conditions?"

"We earn performance points through 'order maintenance,' such as helping a corrupted world return to normal. By helping the World Tree maintain its balance, you gain the power it bestows."

An Qingluo smiled and said, "Not long ago, information about the next world where we can go on missions was released. The world number is F-12. It is said that the main power system is vampires. It sounds very interesting."

"Vampires? There really are such creatures." Chen Nian exclaimed in surprise.

"The world is full of wonders. What you need to do is prove your abilities to the academy and earn the right to go on missions. However, all the students in your grade are vying for those spots, so the competition is fierce!"
