Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Star Era Guide (12)

Professor Wei led Chuzheng and Xiao Jiu to the dormitory area: ”This is your dormitory. The rest of the things will be delivered to you tomorrow. If you have any issues, you can come directly to me.”

Xiao Jiu repeatedly expressed gratitude.

Professor Wei gave them a few more reminders before leaving.

With the door closed, Chuzheng inspected the dormitory.

It was a two-bedroom apartment with a living room and bathroom, and two machines were placed in the living room.

”What are these?” Xiao Jiu asked with a face full of curiosity.

Chuzheng explained in simple terms: ”They’re for playing games.”

Though they’re for playing games, this equipment is actually meant to train students.

This school isn’t a military academy; it has various departments.

If it were a military school, this would be very important because they’d have to go to the battlefield, and this simulates the battlefield experience.

Xiao Jiu seemed interested and asked Chuzheng how to use it, then immediately went in.

Chuzheng chose a room, closed the door, brought up the Star Network, and searched for Jing Lan’s name.

#Jing Lan’s Wrong Decision Causes Major Losses, Facing Military Court Trial#

#Jing Lan’s Spiritual Power Completely Gone#

#The Jing Family Has Expelled Jing Lan#

#Jing Lan Unable to Return to Battlefield, Sinks into Despair#

#Jing Lan Drowning Sorrows in Alcohol#

Jing Lan was a prodigy from a young age, with spiritual power at the SS Rank.

In the Empire, those with SS Rank spiritual power are very scarce.

Jing Lan was highly regarded since childhood, as if people could already see him reaching the pinnacle and becoming a legend.

However, three years ago, Jing Lan made a wrong decision on the battlefield against others’ advice, resulting in countless casualties in that battle.

Jing Lan’s spiritual power was also damaged in that battle and couldn’t be restored.

As the decision-maker, Jing Lan faced a military court trial. Due to such a significant mistake, he was stripped of his military rank and could never return to the battlefield.

After reading the comments about Jing Lan on the Star Network, most were criticizing him for being arrogant and dismissive of others’ advice, leading to many deaths.

Chuzheng followed the traces on the Star Network and found Jing Lan’s public account on there.

But this account hadn’t been updated for three years.

The last entry was posted before his military court trial.

[Jing Lan: I was not wrong.]

Three words, exuding stubbornness and arrogance.

So, the comments below were all scolding him.

Even now, people occasionally came by to leave a few more disparaging remarks.

For such a criminal like Jing Lan... the Empire Academy dared to admit him.

Chuzheng read everything about Jing Lan on the Star Network, both good and bad, and felt she understood the situation.

-

Since some things weren’t settled yet, they didn’t have to attend classes — not that there was anything worth attending.

Chuzheng sent the Cloud-Patterned Crystal to Master Yin Er.

Upon receiving the Cloud-Patterned Crystal, Master Yin Er nearly tore apart the house.

”This is worth a billion, a billion! You just sent it over like this, luckily nothing happened, otherwise where would I find more!”

Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered to bicker with this playboy, ending the call and blocking him.

Thus, the playboy who was about to transfer money found himself unable to do so, and upon further investigation, realized he’d been blocked.

”...”

The playboy was a bit baffled.

This can’t be a fake, can it!

Fortunately, in the end, it was authenticated as genuine.

Having received a billion from someone, Master Yin Er was overjoyed, boasting to everyone that he must be so charming, like a blooming flower.

Everyone in the Yin Family suspected that this pampered second-generation heir had gone mad.

In recent days, Chuzheng stayed in the dormitory, catching up on Star Era knowledge by reading, while Xiao Jiu explored the surroundings thoroughly, bringing back a lot of delicious food.

Most people in the Star Era ate nutritional supplements for convenience and sustenance.

Of course, another reason is that fresh ingredients are very expensive.

Eating them occasionally is bearable, but having them daily would be a significant expense, unaffordable for many.

Bam—

The sound in the hallway startled Chuzheng.

She glanced outside, then lowered her head to continue reading.

It wasn’t until she heard Xiao Jiu’s voice, causing her to frown slightly, that she got up to open the door.

Quite a few people were in the hallway, and Xiao Jiu was surrounded in the middle, with fragrant food scattered all over the place.

”Stop causing trouble.” A pleasant voice admonished: ”If the teacher comes up, we’ll all be punished.”

”Wanwan, it wasn’t us causing trouble, she bumped into us first.” Someone replied dismissively: ”We asked her to apologize, but she refused.”

Xiao Jiu was flushed with anger: ”You’re lying! You bumped into me on purpose!”

Most of the students who got into Empire Academy came from wealthy backgrounds.

After all, they had to be able to afford the hefty tuition fees of the Empire Academy.

Usually, when Xiao Jiu saw these people, she avoided them, fearing she’d get her boss into trouble.

But today, just as she came up, this bunch blocked the corridor tightly.

She stood against the wall, wanting to wait for them to pass before proceeding.

As it happened, they bumped into her but demanded she apologize.

Xiao Jiu didn’t want to provoke them and thought to herself, what’s the harm in apologizing, it wouldn’t take a piece of her. Encountering such situations was common for her out there, and it wasn’t a big deal.

Who knew this group would mess up the things she bought.

These were for Chuzheng, and Xiao Jiu exploded at once.

The group started shoving Xiao Jiu as they continued to speak, and it was about to turn into a fight.

Someone behind was suddenly pulled back, moving Xiao Jiu to the side.

”Bo... boss.” Xiao Jiu, seeing Chuzheng, looked somewhat aggrieved and a little afraid.

”What’s going on, looking for trouble?” Chuzheng glanced at the people across, her gaze moving over the crowd and landing on Xie Wanwan at the back: ”Xie Wanwan, long time no see.”

Xie Wanwan was dumbfounded when she saw Chuzheng.

How... how could she be here?

”Wanwan, do you know her?” someone asked.

”No... no, I don’t.” Xie Wanwan dared not meet Chuzheng’s eyes, her face turning pale: ”I’m not feeling well, heading back first.”

”Wanwan?”

Xie Wanwan walked away quickly, leaving everyone puzzled.

It wasn’t until Xie Wanwan returned to her dormitory that she breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

How could she be here?

Back then, when she took her Identity Chip, it was just to survive, but she hadn’t expected the chip’s level to be so high, issued from the Main Star.

Recently, she had someone investigate and found her Identity Chip was unique, marked with a special insignia that was only given to major family members.

Xie Wanwan was dizzy with joy at this revelation and was about to investigate which family it came from, hoping this Identity Chip would allow her a better life.

But unexpectedly...

Before she could find out, the real owner of the Identity Chip appeared.

Xie Wanwan’s palms were soaked with cold sweat.

Fear, guilt, resentment, and unwillingness...

Why did she have to appear?

Why...

-

On the other side.

The people who had laid hands on Xiao Jiu were now all lying on the ground.

Onlookers stood at a distance, not wanting to get involved.

And the initiator stood expressionlessly in place, looking down at the few on the ground, then turned to Xiao Jiu: ”Who spilled the stuff?”

Sticking to the wall, Xiao Jiu gulped and pointed at someone: ”She...”

Chuzheng walked over to that person.
