The dean of students was slapped hard across the face, his face twitching uncontrollably. His gaze toward Lin Xu was filled with resentment and hatred.
But just as Lin Xu just said, the head of the teaching department really didn't dare to offend the Bai family, and even less dared to let the Bai family hear what he had just said.
He believed he knew far more than a kid like Lin Xu and understood the dangers of the world.
Therefore, even though Lin Xu's attitude is extremely disrespectful now, he doesn't want to break off relations and provoke Lin Xu into a fight to the death.
Lin Xu had already signed the agreement and handed the paper back to the head of teaching.
"I've written it down. You can sign and put your fingerprint on it."
The head of student affairs stiffly reached for the agreement, then let out a shrill cry:
"A loan of 300,000? The equipment usage fee should only be 100,000!"
Lin Xu:
"Does it mean I can just open the island portal? I also need money to develop the island."
The head of the teaching department couldn't help but laugh:
"Your 100-meter-wide island? What development value does it have? Isn't that just a pure waste of money?"
Lin Xu smiled indifferently:
"With your level of intelligence, it's very difficult for me to explain things to you."
The dean of students' face twitched with anger again, but after holding it in for a long time, he still obediently took out the dean's seal and began to stamp the agreement.
"The highest annual interest rate for this type of loan is 2.5%..."
Seeing Lin Xu's somewhat unfriendly expression, the head of student affairs coughed darkly:
"But for an outstanding student like you, theoretically, we can offer the lowest possible interest rate. Even if it's only 1% per year, that's the bare minimum."
Lin Xu smiled:
"Not bad, you're quite sensible. If you don't cause me any more trouble, I won't call you ugly anymore."
The head of the teaching department's face twitched again.
Ugly monster, that was his nickname when he was young.
This kind of address is like rubbing salt into his wounds.
But he had already completed the contract signing and stamped it, so he had nothing left to use to blackmail Lin Xu.
Lin Xu picked up the agreement and contacted the Sky Island World.
This is an innate ability that every island owner possesses upon awakening, allowing them to use the island's space to fairly execute various contracts.
The next moment, the contract paper in Lin Xu's hand spontaneously combusted without a flame, emitting bursts of blue flames, and burned completely in an instant.
Lin Xu felt a new contract clause appear in his mind.
This is the island's capacity for justice.
Contracts established using island rules are extremely binding on the island owner. Ordinary people without islands who enter into servitude agreements with the island owner are also bound by the island's contracts.
In fact, some ordinary people bound by indenture contracts can be traded as property among the island owners.
This is why major companies and forces are keen to sign all sorts of indentured servitude contracts.
For this reason, Lin Xu was absolutely unwilling to accept the indenture that was designed to sell him out.
"You have already signed the contract, and now you can pay the money to purchase the right to use the equipment."
The dean of students stared at Lin Xu, a hint of ill intent creeping into his eyes.
"Kid, I still think someone like you would never be able to pay off that loan without the help of a powerful figure. How about I recommend a few more contracts to you now, so you can have some security in the future?"
Lin Xu glanced at the head of the teaching department:
"What good intentions could a weasel have when it offers New Year's greetings to a chicken? Enough nonsense, hurry up and turn on the equipment, I need to locate my island."
The head of the teaching department was still very unhappy with Lin Xu's attitude.
He routinely disciplines and oppresses his students. Apart from the privileged sons and daughters of elite classes, which ordinary student would dare to treat him this way?
This bossy attitude makes him seem like a servant.
Did he really think that he came to be the dean of students to serve them?
That doesn't make sense!
However, the head of the teaching department really didn't have a solution for Lin Xu at the moment.
Because Lin Xu is clearly not a fool; ordinary scams won't fool him, and he's just been caught red-handed again...
Despite his frustration, the head of the teaching department stepped forward and opened the hidden door to his office.
The walls opened to both sides, revealing a special diamond-shaped machine inside.
The machine looked mysterious; its diamond-shaped main structure was suspended in the air without any support, and it emitted streaks of blue light from time to time.
The head of student affairs, upon seeing the machine, spoke with a warning in his tone:
"Kid, be careful with this machine! This thing is worth enough to buy a city. If you break it..."
Lin Xu waved his hand dismissively:
"The main responsibility for me breaking it lies with you! At worst, I'll pay for it and become a slave, but you might lose your life! Enough nonsense, turn the machine on now!"
The head of the teaching department was speechless for a moment, but then realized that Lin Xu's words made a lot of sense. His face turned pale, and he dared not press Lin Xu any further. He carefully took out a key and rotated it in the air in front of the locator.
The next moment, the diamond-shaped machine lit up completely, and Lin Xu felt his mind being affected. In his consciousness, the special instincts brought by the island master began to be awakened little by little.
The head of the teaching department then took out a special fruit from the drawer behind him.
This thing is the power source for the instrument.
High-quality fruits are priceless. Although this fruit is not considered high-quality, its cost is still about 80,000 yuan.
Most of the equipment usage fees were spent on this fruit.
The head of teaching placed the fruit on the instrument.
The fruit seemed to melt and be absorbed by the instrument.
"Next, all you have to do is reach out and touch this machine..."
The head of student affairs stepped back and explained cautiously.
However, Lin Xu no longer needed any explanation. Once the device was turned on, his status as the island lord seemed to grant him a certain instinct, allowing him to use this floating island device naturally.
He stepped forward and placed his hand on the instrument.
Suddenly, Lin Xu felt as if a vast, dazzling starry sky had been lit up in his mind, and he could perceive a space with his consciousness.
This space is boundless and seems to be nothingness, but Lin Xu can feel endless vitality and prosperity, exciting competition and fighting spirit, and ever-advancing technology.
This concept and feeling instantly filled his mind, allowing him to grasp the essence of the island's space.
This is a blessed land created for living things.
Once you join, you'll have endless possibilities.
However, for the humans of this planet, this area is now occupied by high-ranking officials and nobles, and their endless vitality has been greatly blocked.
It's like a disgusting tumor, constantly multiplying and inhibiting the continuation and prosperity of life.
From this feeling, Lin Xu perceived an independent area that was closely connected to him. He could use his consciousness to observe and perceive that area at any time, locate that space, and teleport there at any time.
This must be his island.
Although it was only a hundred meters long and wide, Lin Xu still felt a sense of familiarity and warmth at this moment, because it was his own territory.
Moreover, that territory also accepted and supported him without limit.
Lin Xu was now certain that he had established a connection with the island and could use his consciousness to enter that space at any time.
On his side, the head of the teaching department stared at Lin Xu with envy and jealousy.
Even though Lin Xu is only the owner of a tiny island, he is still the island lord.
If we categorize people by social class, Lin Xu could be considered a slave owner who had not yet officially established himself.
This is the kind of position that the head of the teaching department dreams of.
In his view, if he had awakened and become the island lord back then, his status would be much higher than it is now, and he wouldn't have been bullied and humiliated by a nobody like Lin Xu.
