Chapter 530: Brother Hao, Someone You Can Afford to Offend?

y a few city leaders knew this information, but they were familiar with these two great scientists' temperaments, so none of them would do anything unnecessary or counterproductive.Yue Yang and Zhao H...Chapter 530: Brother Hao, Can You Afford to Offend Him

Although it was possible to log into the school's course selection system from the dormitory network, everyone thought that selecting courses in the computer room on campus was the fastest — because the school server was located in building D.

Due to the large number of students at Donghai University, after logging into the course selection system, it often became unresponsive. Therefore, going to the computer room to select courses had become a tradition at Donghai University.

Especially for senior students nearing graduation, they would definitely choose easy courses that could be passed, in order to meet their graduation requirements. Or there were some students who still needed to retake several courses and thus had to pick the most lenient teachers so as not to delay their graduation time.

The course selection system was operated online; once a course was full, it would remain full. Even if one wanted to seek out individual teachers for special consideration, that wouldn’t work unless another student dropped from the class and no new students joined — but popular courses rarely had dropouts.

"Move aside quickly!" Seeing that some students by the door weren't budging, several tall guys walked over to urge them.

The person in charge of maintaining order in the computer room was a skinny teacher. When he saw Huang Xujie come in, he turned his head toward the window, pretending not to see him.

Huang Xujie's father was the vice mayor; this was known by all teachers and students at the school. He could act without restraint on campus as long as he didn't break any laws that would bring trouble for his father.

The guys sitting by the door were unwilling to give up their seats but knew they couldn’t win against "Emperor Huang Xujie."

Around ten members of the rock climbing team followed Huang Xujie in. Only four or five computers were available, so they continued pushing other students out.

The displaced students could only stand aside and wait for the system to open again, hoping that these climbers would finish quickly so they could return to their machines.

"Move it!" Seeing Hao Ren still seated there, one of them kicked his chair.

Given Hao Ren's current reputation, they knew who he was and were aware that he was Huang Xujie's rival. Back then in their third year, with seniors above them, they hadn't been too bold. Now as fourth-year students, the basketball team's tough guys from the same batch had graduated; there was nothing to hold back.

"Hurry up and give up your computer!" Seeing Hao Ren still seated, this fourth-year student kicked his chair again.

The chairs in the computer room were small iron-framed stools. A hard kick could easily make someone sitting on it fall backward.

“Hey, don’t go overboard!” Xie Yujia stood up and shouted.

Huang Xujie, waving a fan, turned his head toward the voice when he heard it.

Slightly surprised to see one of his underlings trying to take Hao Ren's seat, Huang Xujie quickened his steps.

"Brother Xu, we meet again. Here’s our nemesis," said the fourth-year student.

Huang Xujie glanced at both Hao Ren and him.

Whack!

The folded fan in Huang Xujie's hand suddenly struck the fourth-year student on his forehead, leaving a red mark.

Startled, the large guy froze.

Huang Xujie stowed his fan and then slapped him hard on the back of the head. The powerful blow sent the big fellow stumbling forward several steps.

The fourth-year student touched his sore head, confused as to what he had done wrong. Huang Xujie threw his fan at him again, hitting his face.

"Apologize to Brother Hao!" Huang Xujie yelled at him.

The senior year guy stared blankly at Huang Xujie and then looked in surprise at Hao Ren, saying softly, "Brother... Brother Hao, I'm sorry."

Hao Ren sat on his seat without a word.

Huang Xujie rushed over and slapped the senior year guy's head. The loud sound echoed clearly throughout the computer room.

"Is this an apology" Huang Xujie glared at him.

"Brother... Brother Hao! I'm sorry!" This seemingly simple-minded senior year guy shouted loudly.

Hao Ren lifted his head slightly and looked at Huang Xujie, "Eh, Huang Xujie, you seem to have a lot of authority"

Huang Xujie forced a smile, "Brother Hao, I'm sorry. Didn't know that you were here."

Zhou Liren beside Hao Ren was completely stunned.

The others with Hao Ren such as Gu Jiadong also blinked in surprise.

"Leave and queue up," Hao Ren said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, we will leave." Huang Xujie picked up the fan he dropped on the floor and left the computer room obediently with his rock climbing team members.

When they left the computer room, Huang Xujie angrily slapped the senior year guy who caused trouble.

Ever since he knew Hao Ren's identity, Huang Xujie tried to avoid running into him at school. Yet, this moron under his command deliberately provoked Hao Ren; how could that not make Huang Xujie depressed

This summer vacation, Huang Xujie’s father had specially reminded Huang Xujie that the son of Hao Zhonghua was studying in Donghai University and that he should try to befriend him. If they can't become friends, then at least don’t provoke him. Next year there would be a change in the city's positions and someone like Hao Zhonghua who has a good relationship with provincial leaders could easily decide whether Huang Xujie will advance or be reassigned.

Huang Xujie left the computer room, shrinking his head in fear as Yu Rong, Gu Jiadong, Huang Jianfeng, and Zhao Jiayan all stared at him in shock.

"Brother Ren... you are Brother Ren right" Zhou Liren looked at Hao Ren doubtfully.

“Class selection is about to start. You should sort out your class selection sheet.” Hao Ren glanced at him.

“Oh, oh…” Zhou Liren followed his advice and took out the class selection form immediately.

The plan listed on this form was the best option, but there were also backup plans. But no matter which one he wanted to choose, it needed to be fast enough to secure a spot before others did so.

“Teacher Sun, we are here for class selection.” Just as the system for class selection was about to start, Lu Qi brought his Go Club members into the computer room.

The Go Club differed from other school clubs because it was one of the key clubs in the university and had its own Go classroom and exclusive network resources - this computer room right next to the server room belonged to them.

Due to many students selecting their classes, today the computer room was open for all regular students. Xie Yujia also knew that this computer room had the fastest speed, so she came here very early in the morning.

Lu Qi scanned his surroundings and saw that all of the machines were occupied. Then he noticed Hao Ren. So he walked over and shouted, "Brother Hao."

The Go Club’s president, Lu Qi was a bespectacled gentleman who had high popularity among senior students. Unlike Huang Xujie's flamboyance, his low profile brought him many female fans on campus.

Moreover, the Go Club received an annual sum of money directly allocated by the principal to the club every year, so even Huang Xujie wouldn’t dare provoke Lu Qi.

At this moment, Lu Qi walked over politely and called Hao Ren "Hao哥" [Note: In Chinese context, adding a honorific like "哥" (older brother) shows respect or admiration]. This made Zhou Liren widen his eyes again—Lu Qi is a popular senior year hottie who's even older than Hao Ren!

"Oh, you're selecting courses" Hao Ren looked at Lu Qi.

"Yes, I'm here to select courses for the Go Club," Lu Qi replied.

Lu Qi calling Hao Ren "Hao哥" naturally had its reasons—Hao Ren is a Level 3 Inspector with much higher status. Since Hao Ren became an Inspector, all dragon cultivators on campus have been eyeing him hoping to become his assistant Inspectors.

Currently, there are only two regional inspectors in Donghai City, and both of them are at the Donghai University campus: Su Han and Hao Ren.

Everyone knows that Su Han never interacts with dragon cultivators on campus and thus would not take any young dragons as his assistant Inspectors. Therefore, Hao Ren is a unique exception.

Hence, the hope for becoming an assistant Inspector lies in Hao Ren. And once someone becomes an assistant Inspector, they will have various advantages whether it's in Donghai City or during the Dragon God Temple examinations.

"Lu Qi, do you need some seats" The teacher responsible for classroom order came to ask.

The computer room was originally designated exclusively for the Go Club. As a result, when selecting courses temporarily opened up this time, an announcement was posted at the entrance of the room. If any members of the Go Club needed to use the computers, they had to yield their spots.

"No need, Teacher Wang. I'll wait here for now," Lu Qi said with grace as he waved his hand.

Since Lu Qi did not take a seat, other members of the Go Club could only stand behind Hao Ren and company while waiting.

"Oh right, there was a little sister looking for you outside building D just now," Lu Qi suddenly said.

"Huh" Hao Ren felt surprised.

"I didn’t know you were here; otherwise I would have brought her up. I’ll go find her now." Lu Qi continued.

“Let me check it out myself!” Hao Ren left the computer room and ran to the end of the corridor, spotting Zhao Yanzǐ outside riding a bicycle.

Hao Ren felt in his pocket but realized he had forgotten his phone.

"Hey! I’m over here!" Hao Ren shouted loudly.

Zhao Yanzǐ lifted her head and saw Hao Ren. She pouted, parked the newly bought bicycle on an empty space, and rushed into the teaching building.

Hao Ren went to greet Zhao Yanzǐ at the stairwell, seeing her running up with a sweaty face. The summer vacation had not yet ended entirely; even though it was morning, it was still quite hot.

"Why are you here" Hao Ren asked her.

"I’m bored and came to take a look around your school. I asked a Fire Dragon who didn’t know where you were. He said you would be selecting courses today, probably at building D," Zhao Yanzǐ wiped the sweat off her face as she explained.

“Yes, we are selecting courses.” Hao Ren understood that Zhao Yanzǐ was asking Lu Qi; in this university campus where everyone is unfamiliar with each other, dragon cultivators would have a relative sense of trust among themselves.

"Ah! It’s so cool here!" Upon entering the computer room with Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzǐ exclaimed happily.

The computer room had air conditioning and was quite cool. Additionally, it was designated exclusively for the Go Club; the computers were new, as well as the air conditioners, plus there was a water dispenser.

“Ah! Little Cousin is here again today!” Zhou Liren happily exclaimed upon seeing Zhao Yanzǐ.

"It's my fiancée! My fiancée!" Zhao Yanzǐ corrected again, and then suddenly saw that all the other students in the computer room were staring at her. Her face turned red immediately, and she hurriedly walked a few steps forward to follow Hao Ren to his computer.

Hao Ren's computer screen was still on his grade list. Zhao Yanzǐ looked at Hao Ren’s grades and gasped in surprise, looking at him with wide eyes, "Third place in the college Your college must have very few people"

Hao Ren smiled but remained silent. Their College of Automation had the largest number of students in the school.

Zhao Yanzǐ turned her head to look at Xie Yujia’s screen and saw that she was ranked first in their college. She immediately fell silent.

"Little sister, sit down!" Lu Qí brought a small stool over for Zhao Yanzǐ.

He recalled that he had seen Zhao Yanzǐ on the sidelines during his previous imperial examination at Dragon Temple. As a fire dragon, he did not have much interaction with Donghai Palace, but since Zhao Yanzǐ was close to Hao Ren, Lu Qí had to treat her well.

"Thank you!" Zhao Yanzǐ smiled happily and moved the small stool next to Hao Ren, sitting very closely beside him.

Xie Yujia looked at Zhao Yanzǐ and shook her head helplessly. It was obvious that Zhao Yanzǐ had come here to keep an eye on them.

Zhao Yanzǐ sat down right in between Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, separating the two of them forcefully.

"It's 9 o'clock! Course selection has started!" Gu Jiadong called out anxiously.

"Let’s all try to choose the same classes together!" Yu Rong shouted, "College English, course number 00814010, teacher Zhao Lihua... Sociology, 02094049, Zhang Haidong..."

The once quiet computer room suddenly became as intense as a battlefield.

"This is my course selection sheet," Xie Yujia passed Hao Ren a piece of paper.

She had already printed out all the courses she wanted to take, including their names, numbers, teachers’ names, and class times.

Hao Ren looked at Zhou Liren on his left frantically typing away and Yu Rong’s veins bulging as he shouted. After some thought, he entered the course codes in sequence according to Xie Yujia's sheet.

Many of the courses for their third year were mandatory classes that all students took together; there was no choice but to take those classes, but there were still many elective courses they could choose freely.

Xie Yujia’s course selection sheet might not have been filled with the easiest subjects, but all her chosen class times were in the morning. That is to say, from Monday through Friday, apart from a few specialized classes, afternoons and evenings were free for her.

This made it convenient for Hao Ren and Xie Yujia to go up to the fifth level of heaven for practice without arousing suspicion. They had to meet credit requirements while choosing major courses and also arrange their time accordingly, so Xie Yujia must have put a lot of thought into this course selection sheet.

The internet speed in this computer room was indeed very fast. While students in other rooms were shouting that the webpage crashed, Hao Ren and his group finished selecting all their courses within minutes.

By copying Xie Yujia’s schedule, it meant that they would take every class together for this semester.

Zhao Yanzǐ's class schedule was arranged by her homeroom teacher who had never experienced course selection before. She couldn’t figure out what everyone was arguing about.

"Master!"

Just as Hao Ren exited the course selection system, Lu Línlin and Lu Lili entered the computer room happily.

"Haha, got Master’s course selection sheet!" Lu Línlin ran over and grabbed the course selection sheet in front of Hao Ren. She immediately logged into her own computer and rapidly typed in the information.

Lu Lili took Xie Yujia's computer and received the course selection sheet from Lu Línlin, also entering them one by one to select all the courses that Hao Ren had chosen.Qixue Valley seems to have deteriorated.The "Seven Stars Northern Dipper Formation" not only prevents cultivators from entering but also stops the leakage of spiritual energy.
