Under the island's rules, even island owners who renounce their citizenship still enjoy their original land and property rights during the three-day preparation period.
Therefore, even if the school district head uses the alliance's authority, he can only confiscate Lin Xu's existing resources after Lin Xu's preparation period ends and his island world adventure officially begins.
However, this period of time was enough for Lin Xu to operate and obtain a fixed main world territory and tax-free status from merchants.
At this moment, Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that in addition to leasing land as a resource, he would also need to find a way to obtain a noble title.
Otherwise, given his status, surviving within the Federation would be far too difficult.
Although the title of nobleman always disgusted him, he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly for the sake of development.
"I'm really going out this time."
With that thought in mind, Lin Xu stepped out of the room, preparing to leave the dormitory.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, a steady footstep came from the other side of the corridor.
Instinctively, Lin Xu felt that this person was coming towards him again.
"Are these guys really just waiting here to come looking for me?"
Lin Xu felt that he would probably need to hire an assistant from the main world in the future, otherwise it would be quite annoying to always be blocked at the door by these people.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, and they were indeed heading towards Lin Xu.
But the identity of the visitor surprised Lin Xu.
Because this person was a young man, with a handsome appearance and an elegant and dashing demeanor, he seemed to be a true nobleman raised by a noble family.
Although this person is not nearly as handsome as Lin Xu, he is still considered a good-looking guy.
Lin Xu also recognized the boy, whose name was Xiao Xing and who was ranked first in the elite class.
Within the school, Xiao Xing's background is absolutely the best, even surpassing Bai Qingniao's by a significant margin.
Moreover, this person's qualifications and achievements are extraordinary.
Although Chen Shaojie was a top-ranked student, he was far inferior to Xiao Xing in comparison.
Lin Xu frowned.
Compared to that silly butler, Xiao Xing is a truly shrewd nobleman and not so easy to deal with.
What is this person's purpose in coming to your door on their own initiative?
"The great talent Lin has finally emerged from the island lord's world. I've been waiting for so long to finally meet you."
When Xiao Xing approached Lin Xu, he wore a gentle and refined smile that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
For most people, it would be easy to develop a liking for someone with such a magnanimous character.
Lin Xu's eyes flickered, and he smiled as well:
"I dare not accept the title of a great talent. Compared to Young Master Xiao Xing, I am just a nobody."
Xiao Xing shook his head:
"You're too modest. I've seen your grades and learning ability myself. If I weren't a nobleman with access to extra knowledge and better educational resources, my grades would definitely not be as good as yours. You truly are the top talent in our school."
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised by Xiao Xing's frankness.
While these words are true, it is not easy for a true nobleman to admit that he is inferior to others.
Therefore, Lin Xu became even more wary.
After all, he had heard some things about Xiao Xing.
This young nobleman appears to be gentle and refined, but in reality, he is no different from other aristocrats like Chen Shaojie; he is arrogant to the core.
This person actually lowered himself so much; what he wanted must be something extraordinary.
Lin Xu spoke directly:
"I wonder what brings Young Master Xiao here?"
Xiao Xing smiled warmly:
Won't you invite me in for a seat?
Lin Xu's lips twitched.
I never expected that I would have to unlock the door and go back home as soon as I stepped out.
But since Xiao Xing was so friendly, Lin Xu didn't need to treat him like a butler.
Lin Xu then turned around and opened the door:
"My house is just a commoner's dwelling. Please forgive me if it displeases Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Xing still wore that refined smile on his face:
"How could that be? Many noble children would love to see the room of the talented Lin."
With that, the two entered Lin Xu's dormitory.
However, when Lin Xu actually stepped into this small and simple room, he noticed a hint of discomfort and disdain on Xiao Xing's face.
Beneath that refined exterior, a hint of arrogance still inadvertently surfaced.
But Xiao Xing quickly regained his composure, a smile returning to his face, as if his earlier disdain had never existed.
If Lin Xu hadn't upgraded his physique and greatly enhanced his sensory abilities, he really wouldn't have been able to notice that slight change in Xiao Xing's expression.
Seeing this, Lin Xu thought to himself that his previous judgment was correct; Xiao Xing was not as friendly as he appeared.
But he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xiao Xing had remained unchanged throughout, maintaining that refined demeanor, then Lin Xu would have found it difficult to deal with him.
After all, such people are either genuinely peaceful and optimistic or cunning and calculating, neither of whom are easy to deal with.
However, Xiao Xing has revealed his true colors, and it seems that he is far from being skilled enough, making him easier to deal with.
Seeing Xiao Xing enter the room and stand motionless in the center, Lin Xu casually spoke:
"Although my place is rather simple, there are still chairs prepared for distinguished guests. If Young Master Xiao does not mind, you may sit here."
Xiao Xing wore a friendly smile, but when he glanced at the chair Lin Xu was pointing to, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Xing finally couldn't overcome his deep-seated pride in his noble status and refused to sit on that incredibly rough-looking chair.
"No need. The matter I'm discussing with the talented Lin is quite serious. I'm used to communicating with full concentration on these kinds of things, and I'm not used to sitting down to talk."
Xiao Xing gave a seemingly reasonable reason.
Lin Xu almost burst out laughing.
So this is the kind of person this Young Master Xiao is, in terms of both character and experience.
Compared to the white bluebird, these "real" nobles are indeed different.
Bai Qingniao sat down on that chair without the slightest hesitation, even though a single piece of fabric from her cheongsam was enough to buy hundreds of those chairs.
Lin Xu didn't expose Xiao Xing.
Since this young master is unwilling to sit down, it proves that he wants to get down to business more quickly.
This also saves him from wasting more time.
Lin Xu didn't waste any words or beat around the bush, and directly probed:
"In that case, I won't take up any more of your time, Young Master Xiao. May I ask what brings you here?"
Xiao Xing was genuinely worried that Lin Xu might want to continue "entertaining" him. If he were to bring out some inferior tea, would he really have to endure the poverty of a commoner and drink such low-quality, coarse tea?
So Xiao Xing actually felt a sense of relief that Lin Xu had gone straight to the point.
Xiao Xing:
"I've already heard about Lin Dacai's talent score. As someone with such an unusually high score, Lin Dacai is truly extraordinary!"
