"Senior, I've arrived at your workplace. Could you come out and meet me?" Xu Chen took out his phone and called Qin Ziyue. Just a few days ago, thanks to his persuasive words and Sun Wei's repeated assurances, Tang Tiancheng finally decided to let Sun Wei give it a try. Of course, whether it would work out in the end depended on Sun Wei's performance. Having repaid Sun Wei's favor, Xu Chen eagerly came to find Qin Ziyue, hoping to discuss the pills with her. "Ah, you're here! I'll be right out." Qin Ziyue quickly dressed in casual clothes and went out. The two met at the coffee shop. "Senior, I heard that criminal investigators are very busy, right? How come you always seem to have time whenever I come to see you?" Xu Chen said with a half-smile. Qin Ziyue was secretly annoyed and said indignantly, "It's all because of you!" "Me? That's a bit complicated. Is it because I come to see you so often that it affects your work?" Qin Ziyue shook her head. "That old man you introduced is too powerful. Since I came here, I've been treated like a VIP. I don't have to do anything. I'm so bored I'm going to rot." Xu Chen laughed. "Senior, do you like being bossed around?" Qin Ziyue blushed. "It's not that I like being bossed around. I just came here to experience life as a mortal." "The identity and job you arranged for me, if it's like this, I might as well just find a mountain forest to cultivate. I don't care, you have to find a way for me." "Senior, you underestimate your beauty." Xu Chen said seriously, making Qin Ziyue a little flustered. "W-what do you mean? How did you bring up my appearance?" "In my opinion, you don't need to do anything. It's not the old man I introduced you to's fault, nor is it my fault. Ultimately, it's because you don't have enough self-awareness." Qin Ziyue's expression calmed down. "What do you mean by self-awareness?" "To put it bluntly, you don't know how beautiful you are. Everyone is captivated by you, so why would they ask you to do anything?" Qin Ziyue's pretty face blushed slightly, thinking to herself, "Why does this kid always like to say such cheesy things so seriously? If he said it with a smile, I wouldn't feel anything." Then she continued, "I understand what you mean. This problem is solved. Now tell me, what did you want to see me about?"
Xu Chen took a sip of his coffee, looked out the window, and said, "Senior, do you want to make money?" Qin Ziyue was taken aback. "Make money? You mean, make spirit stones? Are you short of them? I still have over ten thousand spirit stones in my pocket, and several hundred top-grade spirit stones." Xu Chen was stunned. Although it wasn't the same as what she meant by making money, this woman in front of him was incredibly wealthy. He stammered, "Senior, you're really rich." Qin Ziyue waved her hand dismissively. "When you reach my stage, you'll be rich too. This little bit is enough to rob a sect." Xu Chen asked curiously, "It seems Senior cultivates the demonic path. Is it the Joyful Union Technique or the Blood Magic Technique? Judging from the book you gave me last time, it's the Joyful Union Technique, right?" Qin Ziyue picked up a spoon and threw it at him. "What are you talking about? I'm a righteous person. That sect is made up of escaped cultivators from various planets. A large part of them are what you call demonic cultivators, and some are deserters from their sects. Those sects asked my alliance to take action to wipe them out."
Hearing this, Xu Chen became interested. "Alliance? What kind of organization are you? Can you tell me?" Qin Ziyue gestured towards the coffee cup, and Xu Chen immediately understood, loudly calling out to the waiter, "Waiter, another cup!" After the waiter responded, Qin Ziyue happily said, "A thoughtful junior." She then explained, "The Protector Alliance was originally a union between several powerful sects, sending cultivators to find suitable planets for cultivation in various star systems. Later, it evolved into a system where cultivators would reside permanently on target planets to protect the human civilizations there." Xu Chen nodded. "It seems like a very good organization." Qin Ziyue glanced at Xu Chen. "It's a pity your Tianquan Sect is standing aside." Xu Chen was about to continue praising her when he heard this and became angry. "It's not that we're standing aside..." "It's not that our sect needs to expand; guarding Tianquan Star is enough for us." He continued, "After talking with you so much, I almost forgot our original purpose. Senior, do you have the formula for the Youth Preservation Pill?" Qin Ziyue's little brain raced. "I remember the formula. What, you want to use it to make money?" Xu Chen nodded. Qin Ziyue then asked, "How much can I get?" Xu Chen thought for a moment and tentatively gave a number, "Sixty percent, how about that?" "Not bad, but I don't need that much. Twenty percent is enough. I've researched this planet before and after coming here. Your idea is good. I think the Youth Preservation Pill will definitely be a hit. So, if you give me sixty percent, Ying'er and I won't be able to use it all before we leave." "Senior, you're so kind." Xu Chen said happily. "No, I'm just always rational." Qin Ziyue said seriously. "I'll send you the formula via phone." Xu Chen nodded upon hearing this, and the two paid the bill and left.
Regarding classes, Xu Chen was truly a notorious truant. His terrifyingly accurate memory meant he no longer needed to attend lectures (actually, the author simply couldn't imagine the academic life at a top university like Peking University). Looking at the empty seat next to Xu Chen's roommate, the old professor could only assume he'd been blind to this guy's potential at the beginning of the semester. But there was nothing he could do; the university administration had tacitly approved of Xu Chen's truancy. What could he do? Thinking this, Professor Tong sighed and picked up the chalk to write on the blackboard. Wang Aihua observed the professor's expression for a long time, then whispered to Zhao Weimin, "Chen is really something else. He hasn't come to class once this month. Students who don't know his background are already spreading rumors that he's been expelled." Zhao Weimin smiled, "He seems to be working on a beauty enhancement formula." Li Wei joined the conversation, "Beauty enhancement? I'm currently pursuing a girl. I hope Chen succeeds soon so I can get one for free as a gift." After a long while, Professor Tong put down his pen and said directly, "Next Monday, I will organize a small quiz. The results of this quiz will be very helpful for everyone's final exam scores, so please take it seriously." He then picked up his water cup and left the classroom. The students immediately started discussing, and Li Wei asked doubtfully, "The professor has gone all out. Can Xu Chen handle this move?" Wang and Zhao also felt that Xu Chen was in a bit of trouble this time. Wang Aihua said as they walked, "Brothers, let's gather our notes and tell Chen to cram at the last minute." Li and Zhao nodded, and then the group quickly walked back to the dormitory.
