Chapter 7 Visits and Ambition

Ding-ling-ling~

The bell at the door of Yu Cang's card-making house rang as the door was pushed open, and a figure walked in from outside.

Is anyone coming at this time?

Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment, but quickly put on a smile: "Hello, sir, may I ask...eh, are you..."

Gu Jieshuang widened her eyes, looking incredulous.

"Shh." The man put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Gu Jieshuang not to speak.

The man looked to be in his fifties, with graying hair, but tall and thin, with bright eyes. He was wearing a dark brown plaid windbreaker, and from a distance he looked very elegant.

"Oh." Gu Jieshuang quickly covered her mouth. After a pause, she asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"Well..." The man sniffed, smelling the fragrance in the air, and said in a slightly louder voice, "I want to have a meal, okay?"

"Of course, old man, come up first." Yu Cang's voice came faintly from the second floor.

Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened. He lowered his voice and leaned closer, saying, "Principal, he he he... Yu Cang is calling you... calling you..."

The man laughed and said, "You are Jie Shuang, right? You don't need to call me principal here. Just call me by my real name."

"Okay, okay, Ren... I'll still call you Mr. Ren Zheng."

"It's okay, just be yourself." Ren Zheng turned around and expertly closed the shutter door of the card-making room, then naturally walked up to the second floor. "You made the noodles with soybean paste today, right? I could smell it from way off!"

After Ren Zheng went upstairs, Gu Jieshuang still felt dizzy.

This is the president of Gudu University!

She, Gu Jieshuang, had only met the principal three times in the past two years! And every time she showed up, the principal had a stern face, as if to say, "Don't enter, strangers!"

How could I have such a happy life as today?

However, seeing that Ren Zheng had closed the card-making room on his own initiative, Gu Jieshuang quickly adjusted his expression and followed him upstairs.

She hasn't been to the second floor of the card-making house yet!

…

Ren Zheng's sudden visit was just an extra thing for Yu Cang.

Anyway, he can't cook other dishes.

Soon, three bowls of noodles were served on the table, and a bowl of fried sauce was placed in the middle of the table for people to use as they pleased.

Ren Zheng rubbed his hands and said, "Yu Cang, it's been a while since I've tasted the noodles you cooked."

"Who told you not to come here more often?" Yu Cang rolled his eyes.

"Uh..." Gu Jieshuang sat aside and felt awkward while eating for the first time in her life.

But soon, when she put the flexible noodles and the crispy and numbing fried sauce into her mouth, the restraint disappeared in an instant.

Delicious! So delicious!

Woohoo, this is what noodles are.

Gu Jieshuang buried her head in eating noodles, as if she was oblivious to what was happening outside.

Ren Zheng took a few bites, looked at Yu Cang, and suddenly said, "Xiao Cang, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay."

"I heard that someone is targeting your store recently?"

"That's true."

"How about it, do you want my help?"

"good."

"Xiao Cang, don't be so stubborn. No matter how talented you are, some things cannot be done by yourself... What?" Ren Zheng was stunned. He looked at Yu Cang in disbelief: "You agreed to let me help?"

"Well, what's wrong? Is it weird?" Yu Cang looked strange.

There was a very obvious joy in Ren Zheng's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

After coughing twice, Ren Zheng deliberately showed an embarrassed expression: "Well... I can definitely help you, but the conditions are..."

"I see. I'll go to Gudu University."

At this point, Ren Zheng finally cracked a smile. "Hey, that's right. Our Ancient Capital's top talent should be studying at Ancient Capital University! Running off to the Imperial Capital... what will it look like to others?"

…

On the side, Gu Jieshuang, who was immersed in the world of eating, had been standing there in a daze without knowing when.

Before he could swallow the food in his mouth, his eyes had already become dull.

What did she hear?

The president of Gloria University! Coming to ask for help for his boss?

The condition is to allow Yu Cang to enroll in school?

No matter how you look at it, this is a situation where the boss wins twice. Why does Principal Ren Zheng look... so humble?

What a magical plot!

At this moment, Ren Zheng seemed to notice Gu Jieshuang's surprise. He said with a smile, "Jieshuang, you may not know this yet, but Yu Cang was the top scorer in your college entrance examination, and he got first place in both civil and military examinations!"

"Hiss... cough cough!" Gu Jieshuang took a breath of cold air, but was immediately choked by the noodles in her mouth. She quickly went to the side and took out a tissue to cover her mouth.

"Come on, let's not talk about these trivial things." Yu Cang poured out a cup of hot water very naturally and placed it in front of Gu Jieshuang. "But you, old man, I heard that the guy who wants to buy my shop this time is quite powerful. Can you handle it?"

"What are you talking about?" Ren Zheng patted his chest. "Don't worry, there's no trouble in the ancient capital that I can't handle."

"I hope so." Yu Cang continued eating. "By the way, I have a condition."

"you say."

"You can enroll, but I want to skip a grade."

Ren Zheng looked like he had expected this and said with a smile, "Of course, freshman knowledge is too easy for you. Besides, you should have been a sophomore anyway."

"You misunderstood." Yu Cang shook his head, "I want to skip to my junior year."

"Uh." Ren Zheng was stunned. "Junior year? Why?"

Yu Cang rubbed his fingers for a while before saying, "Because only juniors can participate in the National College League."

Ren Zheng's expression changed slightly, as if he understood Yu Cang's purpose.

"Is it because of Duan Feng?"

"Yes." Yu Cang nodded.

Duan Feng was the senior classmate at Imperial Capital University whom he had never met before!

"You want to defeat Duan Feng in the National College League? This... this is a bit difficult. The National College League is only about half a year away, and you are only a third-level soul card master now." Ren Zheng hesitated.

He also knew what happened to Yu Cang, but even if he wanted to care about what happened in the imperial capital, he didn't have the energy to do so.

Besides, it was a good thing for him to see Yu Cang finally return to the ancient capital.

"It doesn't matter. Everything depends on human effort." Yu Cang's tone was calm, yet firm at the same time.

Generally speaking, before the national college entrance examination, soul card masters who are willing to work hard can raise their level to level two. After entering university, as long as they settle down a little, they can easily break through to level three in their freshman year.

In the second year, students with normal progress have the opportunity to break through to level four, but in the senior year, those who can break through to level five soul card masters can be called outstanding.

After all, the breakthrough of realm is always getting slower and slower.

As for those who can participate in the National College League, there is no doubt that they must be level five soul card masters!

As for Yu Cang, because he had already devoted himself to scientific research in his freshman year, he had neglected to improve his soul card master level. This level three was a bit mediocre among ordinary sophomores, not to mention that he had to face Duan Feng who had practiced for a year longer than him.

It looked hopeless.

But Yu Cang firmly believes that for some things, only by striving for them can there be hope of achieving them! If you don't strive for them, you will only regret it later.

He only believes in the outcome created by his own hands.

Originally, he had only intended to pursue scientific research and slap his former mentor in the face. But after acquiring the entry recorder, Yu Cang's heart ignited with additional ambition.

You know, the soul card system in this world is actually relatively backward in his opinion, at least compared to various film, television and game works in his previous life. Many systems have not yet taken shape, so he was able to rely on his imagination as a time traveler and enter a certain mentor's laboratory in his freshman year.

With the item recorder and the example of the Yingcao deck, he is confident that he can create a deck with absolute dominance in this world!

By then, with the advantage of the deck, he will just be Duan Feng, and he may not be unable to fight!
