Although Lin Xu bought a lot of supplies, he did not return to the island immediately.
Before returning to the island, he had one more thing to take care of: paying off his previous loans.
Although the island world's laws support the alliance's relatively lenient terms on student loans, Lin Xu has now given up his alliance citizenship.
If someone in power makes a fuss about this, there's a lot of room for manipulation.
Once the three-day protection period is over, Lin Xu will still owe the school loan. Perhaps the school district head's faction will use their privileges and loopholes in the rules to turn his loan into an ever-increasing super-high-interest loan that he can never repay.
After that, it becomes quite troublesome to get rid of the loan agreement.
Therefore, while we still have the resources and opportunities, we should address this weakness as soon as possible.
Lin Xu then borrowed another 1 million yuan from Huang Meng, keeping some for personal expenses and using the rest to repay loans.
Upon returning to school, Lin Xu found that there were still many students there.
Even though the island master's novice period is approaching, many students still come to the school. Some come to exchange information and form teams in advance, while others simply come to watch the fun.
After all, the number of people who can become island owners is limited, and 90% of the commoners will even give up their island owner status and still choose to become lifelong slaves.
Therefore, most students do not need to prepare for the island novice period. Instead, they come to the school to try to get close to the island owners with potential.
Lin Xu went back to the classroom first and immediately some students came up to talk to him.
This person was quite familiar with Lin Xu; he was the same Zhang Qiang from before.
He looked at Lin Xu, not to curry favor, but with a mixture of admiration and sympathy in his expression.
"Lin Xu, I never expected you to have the courage to go back to school. I truly admire your courage!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow:
"What happened?"
Zhang Qiang:
"Don't you know? Chen Shaojie has already made a threatening statement. He's going to deal with you during this newbie period, saying he'll turn you into a lifelong mining slave, making you mine for the rest of your life. Did you really do something to him? Why do I feel like he's so angry with you?"
Lin Xu suddenly realized.
It was he who dealt with those two idiot brothers from the Gao family, slapping Chen Shaojie in the face.
Moreover, Chen Shaojie has most likely heard about his talent and certainly won't let him grow unchecked.
Lin Xu smiled:
"It's just Chen Shaojie, he's not much of a problem."
Zhang Qiang's admiration deepened, and he gave Lin Xu a thumbs up:
"As expected of the talented Lin. But you should still be careful, because I heard that it's not just Chen Shaojie who is dissatisfied with you, it seems that many people in the elite class also have opinions about you and want to deal with you."
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised.
Apart from Chen Shaojie, a spoiled brat, he had no contact with the other students in the elite class.
Because of the presence of the White Bluebird, these people should actually have a decent impression of Lin Xu, and there's no reason for them to target him.
Chen Shaojie had absolutely no power to change the minds of these aristocratic students, but someone else could do it with ease.
Lin Xu's eyes flashed.
"Is that Xiao Xing?"
"It seems this young master couldn't fool me before, so he's changed his tactics now."
Compared to Chen Shaojie, Xiao Xing is definitely much more difficult to deal with.
Lin Xu, however, was not worried.
After all, he had enough trump cards; a group of novice island owners simply couldn't suppress him.
But Lin Xu didn't feel happy about being targeted like this.
"Besides Chen Shaojie, we should also deal with Xiao Xing if we have the chance. He actually instigated a group of people to deal with me. Such underhanded methods must be punished."
Lin Xu had no interest in pleading or compromising with those nobles who had been incited.
On the contrary, since nobles usually bring plenty of resources when they develop, if these people come to them, they can gain a lot of benefits for nothing.
Therefore, Lin Xu hoped that these stepping stones would come more proactively, so that he wouldn't have to go around hunting them down.
At this time, besides Zhang Qiang, there were quite a few other students in the class, including some island owners.
These people overheard the conversation between the two and were somewhat surprised by Lin Xu's calm demeanor.
It's unbelievable that a commoner doesn't seem to respect nobles.
Moreover, Lin Xu's island is notoriously small. With such limited resources, it would be difficult for him to even develop normally, let alone face the targeting of nobles.
Many students felt admiration for Lin Xu. Although they dared not offend the nobles, they were still secretly applauding him for being able to disregard their authority and remain confident.
However, two of these people looked different from the others.
Instead of greeting Lin Xu, they secretly observed him, their eyes occasionally flashing with jealousy and hostility.
Lin Xu greeted the other students, then turned on his communicator, added them as friends, and joined the class chat group.
This is an internal group for the island owner; even after entering the island world, communication is still possible.
Commoners have far fewer access to information than nobles, so it's better to join these chat groups; you might be able to get some useful information.
While adding these people as friends, Lin Xu also noticed the two students who didn't fit in with the others.
Although the two tried to conceal it, Lin Xu still noticed the hostile look in their eyes.
Lin Xu recalled the background of the two students and found that he had no grudges against them.
These two were similar to the Gao brothers; they were close to the nobility, especially Chen Shaojie's group.
It seems that Chen Shaojie has also come into contact with these two people, which has made them hostile towards him.
Lin Xu gave the two of them a deep look.
Because of the special privileges granted to established noble families by the higher-ups in the island world, they enjoy life protection during the newbie period. As long as they pay an insurance fee of 100 million Alliance Coins, their lives are guaranteed.
Even if they lose the competition, at most their island will be destroyed and they will lose their status as island owners, but they cannot be killed.
But it's different for ordinary people. Not to mention that 99% of ordinary people can't afford the 100 million insurance premium, even if someone could, they wouldn't have the right to enjoy such protection.
When a civilian dies in an island world, that's a true death, with no room for remedies.
If these two students behave themselves in the island world, that's fine. But if they really hang out with Chen Shaojie's group and come looking for trouble, Lin Xu certainly won't be as bored as Chen Shaojie and would sell them into lifelong mining slaves.
He will wipe them all out and send all these troublemakers to hell.
I just hope these two students are clear-headed enough not to do anything stupid.
Thinking this through, Lin Xu confirmed that there was nothing else to deal with in the class.
He then left the classroom and went to the dean's office.
Outside the office, Lin Xu knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.
If you're too polite to this noble lackey, he'll definitely take advantage of you.
However, as soon as Lin Xu stepped inside, he heard a series of indescribable sounds.
He looked at the dean of students in front of his desk and saw that the dean still had that lewd and obscene smile on his face, having just closed a window on his computer.
At this moment, Lin Xu stepped into the room. The head of the teaching department's expression changed slightly, and he shouted angrily:
"Who is this rude person! I didn't even let you in, how dare you come in! Get out!"
Lin Xu naturally didn't leave. He went to the dean's desk and looked at him with a half-smile:
"The Dean of Students is so angry, it seems he's admiring some valuable study materials? I wonder how many Alliance Coins the school spends every day to hire you to do this kind of thing?"
The head of student affairs finally saw Lin Xu's face clearly. His expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he tried to force a smile but couldn't manage it. He said dryly:
"So it's Lin..."
