Dean's office.

Almost all the old men who came to welcome Lin Tao and others gathered in this place.

Beep~beep~ The communication phone on the desk kept ringing.

However, no one answered the call.

Finally, a middle-aged man frowned and said, "Dean, Gu Lei regrets it."

This call was to contact Gu Lei.

"Yeah, if he really wanted to reconcile, he would have followed those three bastards to our First Mecha Academy a long time ago."

Seeing that Gu Lei had not answered the call, the first person spoke up and others immediately followed suit.

"Well, if Gu Lei hadn't spoken first, how could we have accepted those three guys? The one who entered the engine design department is easy to say, she almost entered our First Mecha Academy before, but who are those two guys in the maintenance department?"

"Yes, that guy is a troublemaker. Didn't he see that the old boy from the engine design department was almost choked to death?"

"Haha, let's not talk about Lao Tong. Lao Lu from the Materials Department must have a headache when he receives that kind of troublesome student."

…

The dean was listening to the beeping echo of the communication phone and the conversations of the crowd with a frown on his face. When he saw that the dean's office suddenly became noisy, he finally couldn't help but coughing loudly.

After everyone calmed down, he let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Since they have transferred to our academy, no matter what happens, the three of them are still considered students of our First Mecha Academy."

At this point, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "After Gu Lei left, our First Mecha Academy's status among the top-notch mecha academies in the Interstellar Federation has declined. If it weren't for the support of the mechanical foundation department and the chassis department, our First Mecha Academy would have fallen to an ordinary first-class mecha academy."

"So, everyone understands the importance of calling back Gu Lei to our First Mecha Academy. Didn't you see that Lao Tong also endured it for this matter?"

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent and didn't say anything.

"Gu Lei didn't show up. I think he can't save face for the time being. After some time, when the Liu family persuades his disciple Liu Xueying, perhaps the situation will improve." The dean paused abruptly and frowned: "Well, as for the person he recommended, if he has real ability, it's fine. If he really has no ability, then it's not our First Mecha Academy's fault."

Yuanzi was upset about Lin Tao calling him "old man". If it wasn't for Gu Lei, he wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.

"If those two guys really don't have any skills, just fire them."

"If Gu Lei comes back and knows about this, he probably won't say anything."

"They were recommended by Gu Lei. Gu Lei knows best what they are capable of. If they are really incompetent, he won't say anything even if he is fired."

The department heads nodded repeatedly.

…

With the recommendation of Instructor Gu Lei, Lin Tao and others completely resolved the registration issue in less than half an hour. The three of them had established an identity in Mingyuan City and could reach any corner of Mingyuan City without being called down for inspection by the mecha patrol team.

Like Hyacinth College, the First Mecha College also allows students to rent dormitories on their own.

"Lin Tao, are we going to live in the dormitory or rent a place outside?"

After everything was settled, the three of them reunited.

"Of course we rent a place." Du Ruizhi reached out and gently rubbed his temple.

Lin Tao became famous today, and the Du family's brother and sister also became somewhat famous.

Unfortunately, this fame is not what Du Ruizhi wants.

On the first day of transfer, Lin Tao called the head of the engine design department an "old guy" in front of the dean, and this word "old guy" completely offended almost all the department heads and the dean.

After all, anyone who can reach this position is an elderly person.

Du Ruizhi could imagine that after entering the First Mecha Academy, they would definitely have a hard time, because each of these "old guys" had a large number of direct students under their command.

If they live in the dormitory of the college, they will definitely not be able to sleep peacefully.

Uh~ Du Ruiming made a "hmm" sound but did not nod immediately. He turned around and looked at Lin Tao.

Du Ruiming knew in his heart that although he and his sister were able to enter the First Mecha Academy thanks to the relationship with Instructor Gu Lei, they might not have been able to get in if Lin Tao had not asked for it.

Especially Du Ruizhi, who almost entered the First Mecha Academy, will definitely slap some people in the face.

"Then let's rent a place." Lin Tao didn't care.

Hearing Lin Tao speak, Du Ruiming breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around for a suitable place through his electronic watch.

After a while.

Du Ruiming suddenly raised his head with a strange look on his face. He first looked at Du Ruizhi, then at Lin Tao, and finally sighed: "Lin Tao, should we move back to the dormitory of the college?"

Du Ruizhi was unwilling to do so. She knew clearly the consequences of offending those department heads. She didn't care whether she could study well or not, as long as she could graduate successfully from the First Mecha Academy.

"What's going on?" Lin Tao frowned slightly.

Du Ruiming didn't say anything. He lifted up the watch and placed it in front of the two men.

Hiss! Du Ruizhi took a breath of cold air when he saw the price quoted above.

It is said that as the capital of Mingyuan Star, every inch of land in Mingyuan City is worth a lot of money, but when Du Ruizhi really saw the prices above, he almost said the word "robbery" on the spot.

The rent of rental houses in Mingyuan City is almost determined by the distance from the First Mecha Academy. The closer it is, the more expensive it is, to an almost impossible level.

On the watch, I saw a rental suite only a hundred meters away from the First Mecha Academy. It had only three bedrooms and a living room, but the price was almost one million star coins per month. In more remote places, the rent was close to 50,000 or 60,000 star coins.

"One million star coins every month?" Lin Tao frowned.

At the Zhengwei Mecha Center, he earned more than 20 million in gambling money through Skynet gambling. After deducting the 10 million he spent on buying medicinal materials, he still had about 13 million left. But if he really wanted to rent a place very close to the First Mecha Academy, he could probably only live there for a year or two.

After all, this rent does not include food and clothing.

Seeing these prices, Du Ruizhi suddenly felt embarrassed.

Their Du Wei Herbal Medicine Store was a profitable store in the herbal medicine market in Anzheng City, but if they were to compare it to Mingyuan City, their herbal medicine store would be on the verge of bankruptcy in a minute. Moreover, the pocket money they both had together would definitely not exceed 200,000 star coins. After paying the rent and adding food and clothing, they would probably become "poor people" completely.

Seeing that the Du siblings looked a little depressed, Lin Tao couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He also knew that today's confrontation with the head of the Engine Department might have a certain impact on the two of them, especially Du Ruizhi. It is estimated that her future study journey will be severely affected.

After all, Du Ruizhi came here seriously to study.

Forget it, Lin Tao shook his head secretly. If there is a chance in the future, he must make it up to the two of them.

As for the rent, Lin Tao can still help out.

"Ruiming, please contact them for amounts below 100,000 star coins." Lin Tao said.

"Do we really have to rent a house outside?" Du Ruiming was stunned.

Du Ruizhi was also stunned: "One hundred thousand star coins per month, where do we have so much money?"

Lin Tao smiled and said nothing.

Du Ruiming's eyes lit up. He knew that Lin Tao had a huge sum of money and even bought tens of millions of medicinal materials without blinking an eye. At that moment, he looked for several places in succession and finally negotiated a rental suite with a decent area.

With five bedrooms and a living room, it can be considered a residence for an ordinary family.

The rental price was a bit expensive, the other party asked for 150,000 star coins per month.

"How far is it from the First College?" Lin Tao asked.

"If we drive a hover car, it's not too far, about 30 to 40 minutes at most." Du Ruiming calculated the time in his mind: "The other party said that they also have a parking lot. After we rent it, we don't need to rent an additional parking space."

"Then let's go here." Lin Tao decided to keep a low profile and made the decision on the spot.

The three of them drove there immediately.

What caught my eye was a building of about fifty stories high, which is considered relatively low in Mingyuan City. There was a row of parking spaces at the main entrance, which showed that what the other party said was true.

Waiting for them was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

"Are you the ones who want to rent my place?" The middle-aged woman was dressed in ordinary clothes and it was impossible to tell that she was the landlord of the high-rise building in front of her.

"Yeah." Du Ruizhi nodded: "We just transferred to the First Mecha Academy and want to find a place."

Hearing that Lin Tao and the other two were students of the First Mecha Academy, the middle-aged woman's face suddenly lit up and her eyes lit up: "Ha, it just so happens that my son is also a student of the First Mecha Academy. Which department are you from? Tell me. If you are in the same department as my son, you should take good care of him in the future. Aunt Bai will definitely reduce your rent."

"Aunt Bai, are you serious?" This was exactly what Du Ruizhi wanted, and her words became sweeter.

"Oh! My ignorant son is called Bai Fan. He works in the maintenance department of the First Mecha Academy. He also comes back every day. When he comes back, I will introduce him to you." Aunt Bai said with a smile.

"Maintenance Department?" Du Ruizhi was very familiar with him and immediately pulled Du Ruiming in front of Aunt Bai: "Aunt Bai, this is my younger brother, he also applied for the Maintenance Department."

"Really?" Aunt Bai looked Du Ruiming up and down. Seeing that Du Ruiming was well-mannered, she couldn't help but feel happy: "Then when my son comes back, I will let him spend more time with you."

"Of course, we just arrived at the First Mecha Academy and we are in need of someone to lead the way." Du Ruizhi said with a smile.

Watching the two of them talking and suddenly becoming familiar with each other, Lin Tao scratched his head, saying that he didn't quite understand women's psychology.

After a conversation between the two, the monthly rent of 150,000 star coins was immediately reduced to 100,000 star coins. This price was somewhat beyond Lin Tao's expectations.
