Next, Ye Lingchen’s matters started to develop accordingly.

Huo Yuanjia progressed according to schedule. His cosmetic store’s renovation was almost done under Zhang Yunxi’s supervision. Meanwhile, the contract for the purchase of Panda Streaming was signed. Following his itinerary, all he needed to do was to ensure the timely release of Celestial Bane’s updates and go to class.

Along with everyone’s anticipation, Saturday finally came.

That day, those that registered for the event got up way earlier than others. They were filled with excitement despite getting less sleep, especially the boys.

A crowd could be seen gathering at the university gate from afar, chit-chatting around a bus.

“Ye’zi, over here.” Little Gen and the other two waved excitedly at Ye Lingchen with a huge backpack on them.

After taking a look at the others, they did not fare any better. They all seemed to have packed all their belongings with them. Some of them even carried cooking pots.

Instead, Ye Lingchen was empty-handed, as carefree as one could be.

“Ye’zi, why didn’t you bring anything?” Little Gen asked.

“It’s only a two-day trip. You guys and your huge bags are overdoing it,” Ye Lingchen replied, baffled.

“I’ve only brought my tent and sleeping bag. For this outing, we’re going to a location in the suburbs. We won’t be staying in the hotel. Furthermore, we’re planning to cook our own meals. That’s why we brought along vegetables and meat,” Little Gen explained.

“I’ve got potato chips and bread too.” Potato added.

Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched, asking, “Are there no shops there?”

“There should be.”

Ye Lingchen, “Oh, then that should be fine. I brought money.”

Little Gen was speechless.

A total of 32 people, 12 girls, and 20 boys. With everyone present, Gao Wen immediately ushered them onto the bus.

Just as they got on, Ye Lingchen’s pocket squirmed. Following that, Little Green and Little Grey poked their heads out, curiously checking their surroundings.

“Ye’zi, you’ve brought Little Green and Little Grey along!” Little Gen was elated. Xiang and Potato scooted over as well and started to play with the wolf pups.

The other turned their heads around and looked at them curiously, especially the girls. Their eyes were glowing, yearning to grab them from Ye Lingchen’s hands.

Baby animals were always welcome anywhere. Of course, that was because these people did not know they were wolf pups.

“I’m bringing them out for a breath of fresh air,” Ye Lingchen replied with a smile. He then placed Little Green and Little Grey on his lap.

The bus went on at a moderate pace. As they were all students, they had many overlapping interests so the trip was not a boring one.

Some of the boys would even use this chance to show their good sides, working hard to get out of their bachelorhood.

Mount Hui scenic area…

It was another mountain, but its fame was far beyond that of Mount Fulong.

Unlike Mount Fulong, there was a highway going through the region. The roads were wide and flat. Furthermore, greening was done well. It was clear that professional cleaning was done regularly.

Entering Mount Hui’s scenic area, foot traffic increased.

The bus pulled over at the parking lot of the scenic area, everyone impatiently rushed down the bus.

Since they had rented the entire vehicle, it gave them the convenience of leaving their belongings on the bus.

Just like any other vacation spot, there were some beautiful pavilions for the tourists. Apart from that, there was also a huge amusement park with a square.

After they had agreed on a time to meet, they split up into groups and went their separate ways.

The more courageous boys went to the amusement park for the more exciting rides, while some of them headed to the ghost town area.

The girls were more reserved in comparison, visiting the zoo, merry-go-round, and boat rides.

Of course, some boys hung around the girls, for example—Little Gen, Xiang, and Potato.

The trio had long forgotten Ye Lingchen, they were instead busy ingratiating themselves to the girls.

“Young man, do you want to give it a shot?”

Right then, a mustached man who ran the stalls asked them with a smile as he walked up to the gang.

“Throwing hoops?”

Upon seeing the girls showing interest, Hao Jian immediately rolled up his sleeves, “Why don’t’ we give it a try?”

“Those rewards on the stall seem nice, especially those at the back. Their quality looks good,” Someone interjected.

“Let’s do it!”

“Then let’s start with twenty,” Gao Wen announced after everyone agreed to it.

“Alright!”

The stall owner smiled brightly, quickly handed twenty hoops to them.

“10 each for the boys and girls. Let’s compete and see who gets more hoops,” Gao Wen smiled as she distributed the hoops.

“It’s time to show my real skills,” Little Gen bragged as usual. Trying to use his long arms to his advantage, he aimed for the closer targets.

However, the hoops were quite elastic, bouncing off just as it landed.

“FML!” Little Gen’s originally dark face turned darker.

“Weakling. To be honest, throwing hoops had always been my hidden talent.” Potato similarly overflowed with confidence. His bragging was on a higher level compared to Little Gen. Brushing his hair, he then narrowed his eyes and aimed before launching!

The next instant, a burst of laughter could be heard.

There were quite a lot of people watching them. Several kids were rolling on the floor laughing, very entertained by what they just saw.

Ye Lingchen and the gang could not help but shake their heads, then quietly distanced themselves from Potato.

That…was just too far off the mark!

“It seems I can no longer remain hidden.” At that moment, Hao Jian stepped up, giving off an aura of determination. His eyes glowed. “Although this may sound unbelievable, my special hack level personal skill is throwing hoops!

With that said, a breeze blew over.

The hoop in his hand elevated with the wind. Following that, it accurately wrapped itself around…air!

A weird awkward silence befell them.

Following that, the rest of the students each tried their luck. All of them tried to act cool before their attempt. They all embraced the mentality of “what if”, overestimating their own ability, only to have reality slap them brutally on their face as the hoop landed on the floor.

Very quickly, all 20 hoops were used, yet they only managed to score the frontmost target for a trashy toy. The result was pathetic.

“Would you like to give it another try? I’m sure you’ll score on the next one.” The stall owner persuaded, “Look, there were quite a few hoops that almost scored.”

“I think that’s enough. This is too wasteful.” Gao Wen shook her head.

Throwing hoops was just entertainment. There was no need to take it seriously.

Only

Just as they were ready to leave, the stall owner’s eyes rolled. He then appeared in front of them without a trace. “It’s so rare for you to come out for a trip. How can you just go home empty-handed? Aren’t the boys planning to win some prizes for the girls?”

Those words were like a knife to their hearts.

University students were vain, to begin with, especially when the boys and girls were having an outing. With such provocation from the stall owner, they could bring themselves to leave.

“Gao Wen, why don’t we give it another try? We should still have quite some money left right? Let’s do this again,” Someone suggested.

Before they departed, everyone paid RMB200 for registration for the trip’s expenses.

“That’s right. Again! You might just score in the next try!” The stall owner hit the iron while it was hot.

He was chuckling deep in his heart. ‘It’s so easy to earn money from university students. Just some goading and they’ll bite!’
