Chapter 24 Roommate

When Wen Le came back from the library, Jin Cancan, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, raised his claws and gave him a fatal blow as soon as he entered the door. During this period, Wen Le often came back in the middle of the night to catch up on his theory, and neglected this little thing.

Wen Le covered his scratched face and grimaced in pain, saying, "If you scratch my face again next time, I won't be polite to you!" What's wrong with it? It scratches people when it's angry, and it specifically hits the face. It's really become more and more lawless after being spoiled. "I will also cut off your food. I won't buy you that pet food. You have to follow me to eat in the cafeteria. By then, you will eat so much that you will lose hair every day and become an ugly bald head."

This threat was so harsh that Jin Cancan's fur immediately exploded: "Meow!" How dare the poop shoveler! Then he raised his claws and scratched Wen Le again.

Finally, Wen Le raised his hands in surrender and said, "Master, please spare me. I will definitely come back early to accompany you after the exam."

Since arriving in Weide, Wen Le hadn't taken Jin Cancan out for a walk for over two months, fearing trouble with a pet. He'd always kept it locked up in the dormitory. And since he was busy with tutoring due to his poor foundation, he had no time to spend with it. No wonder the little creature was so irritable.

Wen Le felt a rare pity for it, and wanted to make it up to it, so he said, "After the exam the day after tomorrow, we have three days off. I'll take you out for a walk then."

"Meow?" Jin Cancan looked at Wen Le with a bit of suspicion, tilting his head and meowing. His fluffy face was full of distrust of the poop scooper.

"Really, I'm really going to take you out to play this time, I promise!" Wen Le wanted to swear to the sky that the person he raised was not a pet but a boss.

Jin Cancan glanced at Wen Le for a moment, and after confirming that the poop-scooping biped wasn't lying, he meowed magnanimously, temporarily forgiving him. Then, he leisurely hopped onto the table, pointed his tail at the empty bowl next to him, and raised his chin at Wen Le, signaling him to quickly add some food.

Wen Le got a headache when he saw it pointing at the bowl, and he talked to it, "Let's make a deal, can we only eat one bag a day from now on? We're out of money." Seeing Jin Cancan getting angry, he quickly said, "We have to go out and play in a few days. How can we go without some money? What if there's a toy you like? What if we don't have money to buy it?"

The system sells pet food for 200 credits per 500g bag. Buy ten bags and you get one free, so Wen Le buys them in batches of ten, saving the money for a single bag. Unfortunately, Jin Cancan's size has grown dramatically recently, and so has her appetite. Eleven bags of pet food were finished in just two weeks.

He only earned 3,000 credits a month, and the pharmaceutical contract he'd signed since coming to Wade had been rescinded, with the excuse that he was a minor and couldn't make his own decisions. The school had a responsibility to its students, and while they might not have known about the past, they would definitely intervene if they did. So even if he used all his 3,000 credits on pet food, it wouldn't be enough for Tiger Master. Wen Le reaffirmed that he wasn't raising a pet, but a master, and one with a lot of money to spend.

Jin Cancan didn't listen to Wen Le's explanation at all. When she heard that there was no food to eat, she immediately got angry and squatted on the table to argue with Wen Le: "Meow meow meow meow!"

The translation means: Why would you support a master if you don’t have money?!

Wen Le was almost laughing with anger, pointing at it and scolding: "After having a few full meals, you start to be picky about food? Have you forgotten what kind of life we ​​lived in the safe zone?" In the past, it was a very good treatment to be able to eat enough. It was as happy as New Year's Day to have a meal of meat. Now it has learned to be picky about food.

Wen Le decided not to indulge its bad habits, so he dragged it to the corner and said, "Just sit here and reflect on your behavior. You've become picky about food after just a few days of eating full meals. I've spoiled you."

Jin Cancan squatted in the corner and quarreled with Wen Le with a howl. Wen Le deliberately ignored it and decided not to be soft-hearted this time, otherwise it would be in trouble in the future.

But he began to think about part-time work. After two months of cramming, he had caught up with his studies and no longer had to spend all his time in the library. With the extra time, he could probably find a part-time job.

On the one hand, Jin Cancan couldn't be allowed to eat too much human food. He had never raised a winged tiger before, so who knew if eating too much human food would affect its physical development? The system had told him that winged tigers could grow wings and fly in the sky in the later stages. To grow wings, it would probably require a lot of energy. Even human children with long-term malnutrition would not grow tall.

On the other hand, he really needed the money. He had only made two batches of the potion he had promised Lear and the others, and even those two batches were purchased with the herbs he had saved by living frugally. People say healers are very profitable, but they don't see how much money they burn. The herbs alone are a significant expense.

Of course, other therapists all have the support of a force, so they don't have to worry about resources, and their personal safety can be guaranteed. The disadvantage is that they are not free enough and there are many constraints.

Wen Le refused several attempts to be recruited by the organization, unwilling to be restricted in his freedom. Even the vice president who had originally offered to take him in as his last disciple hadn't made any move. However, Wen Le didn't care. As long as it didn't affect his life, he wasn't too keen on interacting with these people.

…

"Meow~Meow~"

In less than three minutes, Jin Cancan began to show his goodwill to Wen Le. This guy was well versed in the art of coaxing people. He knew that Wen Le liked his soft and cute side, so he deliberately acted coquettishly with him in a baby voice.

As expected, Wen Le quickly gave in, but he was determined not to indulge this bad habit, so he held the little creature tightly in his arms, stroked its fur, and began to brainwash it: "Look, we're broke right now, so we have to be frugal. Let me do the math for you. A bag of pet food costs 200 credit points. The school cafeteria has both meat and vegetables for 200 credit points, which is enough for the two of us to eat for three days. So, can we buy less?"

But I promise you, I will find a way to make money, and when I do, I will buy it for you. By then, I will have enough for a month, so you can eat until you don’t want to eat anymore.”

"Meow~"

"I'll definitely buy you a teething stick. Didn't you want to eat those teething biscuits last time? I'll buy them all for you!" Wen Le went all out to please this old man. The teething biscuits sold in the system mall were a type of teething stick, costing 500 credits each. The actual size of a pig's leg bone was a bit pricey for Wen Le. Perhaps the only advantage was that they were quite durable; he could chew on one biscuit for a week.

Wen Le and Jin Cancan reconciled here, and the roommates came back over there. From the noise outside, it seemed like they were moving, and Xu Dongdong's shouting could be vaguely heard.

etc!

When did the fat guy come here? Doesn't he live in the building next door?

Wen Le thought he was hallucinating, but after listening for a long time, he found that it was indeed Xu Dongdong. Why was this kid running into their dormitory so late at night?

At this time, there was a knock on the door. The sound of knocking on the door was accompanied by Xu Dongdong's penetrating voice. "Open sesame! Open the door quickly!"

Wen Le quickly asked Jin Cancan to hide under the quilt and went to open the door. Just then, the little fat boy started singing: "Little rabbit, open the door obediently~ Brother wants to come in~"

Wen Le: “…” Fuck you, whose brother are you?

Ever since going to school with these little brats, Wen Le felt that he was becoming more and more childish.

Wen Le opened the door with a bad look on his face, and a big head stuck in. He pushed it out with his hand: "Why are you here so late?" Why don't you just go to sleep, little brat? Why are you running around at night?

Xu Dongdong didn't care when Wen Le pushed her, and said happily, "I've applied to the school for a dormitory change, and we'll be roommates from now on. So, how about it? Are you surprised?"

"..." Wen Le just felt a headache, "You want to hear the truth?"

"No!" Xu Dongdong said immediately, "I won't listen to anything other than welcome!"

Wen Le: “…” Since people have said so, what else can he say?

"Where's my old roommate? Where did you take him?"

"Oh, he and I switched dormitories, and he lives in my place now," Xu Dongdong said. "Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not using my power to pressure him. He voluntarily decided to switch dormitories, and he's really willing to move in with me."

Xu Dongdong's uncle is one of the school directors of Wade. When the dormitories were assigned, he was specially assigned to the dormitory area where Class A was located, so that he could live with the top students in Class A. He wanted to use this to educate his nephew and help him evolve from a poor student to a top student to bring honor to the Xu family.

The idea was sound, but Xu Dongdong himself refused to cooperate. For various reasons, he and his roommates didn't get along. In just two months, Wen Le had heard him complain about his roommates no fewer than ten times. He even once discussed with Lily and the others how to sack each other without being detected by the school's patrol robots and surveillance cameras.

Xu Dongdong's academic roommate also hates this unlearned roommate who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He thinks that Xu Dongdong is bullying others by relying on his status. In short, the two of them dislike each other.

It's worth mentioning that Wade's dormitories are divided into three sections. The first section houses all the students in Class A. It's the quietest section, convenient for them to study and rest. After all, they are the school's star attraction, and the future "enrollment rate" depends on them.

The second dormitory area was home to students from Class E. It was the busiest area, with plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment. Although Class E only had about twenty students, they were also the wealthiest students in the school and could easily afford it.

The third dormitory area is the ordinary dormitory. All the students in Wade except for Class A and Class E live here. However, the accommodation conditions in Wade are still very good. The dormitories are all duplex suites with two bedrooms and a living room. The second floor is for living and the first floor is for living.

Wen Le currently lives in District 2, and his former roommate moved into District 2 by chance. They were originally roommates, and Wen Le, as a transfer student, was assigned to the same dorm. This roommate was very motivated, and Wen Le would often run into him in the library. Xu Dongdong's suggestion of a dorm change probably suited him perfectly. However, Wen Le didn't know this roommate well; he had only met him once in the two months since moving in, and it was he who had initiated the greeting.

However, the other party ignored him. Wen Le was unwilling to pay attention to the other party, so the two of them lived under the same roof for two months but were still strangers.

Xu Dongdong commanded the moving robot to pack up his things like an old man, then walked around the house with his hands behind his back, as if inspecting the site. At the end, he sighed, "Sure enough, the air here is fresher than in Area 1."

Wen Le: "..." If he were the uncle of this naughty kid, he would definitely be so angry that he would pick him up and beat him up. There is probably nothing more frustrating than having a nephew who is a poor student and has no ambition to make progress.

Wen Le didn't want to see his smug look, so he simply went into his room, intending to close the door and go to sleep. However, Xu Dongdong rushed in. As he ran towards his room, he yelled, "Hey, Wen Le, you're so mean. I went through so much trouble to move in with you, and not only are you ungrateful, you didn't even say a word of welcome. You're going to lose me as a good friend by doing this, do you know that?"

As he said that, he suddenly rushed to Wen Le's bed and pulled back the quilt: "Let me see what you have hidden under your quilt! Haha... uh..."

Xu Dongdong was stunned when he met Jin Cancan's moist blue eyes. He had never thought that Wen Le actually had a pet cat in the dormitory. After a moment's hesitation, Xu Dongdong suddenly grabbed Wen Le's neck and said, "You are really good. You hid it so well that even I didn't know you actually had a pet cat."

Then he took another closer look at Jin Cancan, frowned, and muttered to himself, "It doesn't look like a pet cat to me. Its head is too big, like a dog's. Is it a new breed?"

Because of the catastrophe, many animals had undergone genetic mutations, and it wasn't uncommon for a pet cat to grow larger than a dog. These large cats were popular a while ago, so it wasn't surprising. However, after a long time of thinking, he couldn't figure out what breed the cat was. He assumed Wen Le had brought it from another planet, so he shook off the fleeting doubt and stopped paying attention to it.

Xu Dongdong then accused Wen Le of being insincere, saying he didn't consider him a friend at all and had secretly kept a pet without telling him. This left him completely unprepared, as he hadn't even prepared a gift for the encounter. This was truly rude. To compensate for the emotional damage, he asked Wen Le to give him a bottle of potion.

Wen Le rolled his eyes at this. "First of all, we're not that close friends. Second, I'm so poor I have to pawn my pants. I don't have any potions. Do you want a bottle? If you do, I'll give you one."

Xu Dongdong rolled his eyes at Wen Le. "Those who can talk about anything are just gay friends who sleep in the same bed. You and I haven't reached that level yet, okay? And I prefer women, so please don't say things that bother me. Also, you are the poorest therapist I've ever met, bar none."

Wen Le: “Hehe.”
