When I walked out of the Dean's Teaching Building, the time showed 12:45.

The school hours for each department had already passed.

In fact, at around twelve o'clock, the Du siblings had already been sending communications and messages on their watches, but Lin Tao had always set the communications and messages to silent mode.

Because he really doesn't like to hear the noisy sound of beeps.

Ever since something happened in later life, Lin Tao has never liked the beeping sound of his watch.

He took a quick look at the dozen or so missed calls, all of which were from the Du siblings and Bai Fan. Lin Tao picked one at random and called back.

"Lin Tao, where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Lin Tao dialed Du Ruiming's watch communicator, but the voice came from the anxious Du Ruizhi.

This pair of siblings is quite interesting, Lin Tao smiled.

Although Du Ruizhi is a short-haired beauty, Lin Tao is not a novice in his later life and he will not act like a fool for a beauty. It's just that he suddenly became interested in the two siblings, just like meeting someone he likes. Like Department Head Tian Zhi, once the moment comes, he will take action.

Of course, it is just guidance or help.

"I've just left the campus, where are you?" Lin Tao said with a smile.

"We've been waiting for you in the parking lot." Du Ruizhi said anxiously, "Lin Tao, you just left the campus, you wait at the campus gate, we'll be there soon."

Before she finished her words, Lin Tao heard her voice urging Du Ruiming: "Go to the school gate immediately, where is Lin Tao."

"Got it, got it, I'll be there right away."

Du Ruiming's voice and the roar of the hovercraft's engine were also heard in the communication.

Lin Tao smiled and turned off the communication.

In less than three minutes, the hovercraft arrived at the campus gate.

After getting in the car, Lin Tao looked up and saw that, as expected, the Du siblings and Bai Fan were all in the car.

"Bai Fan, since you are from Mingyuan City, is there any hotel nearby where you can eat?" Lin Tao asked casually.

The closer Mingyuan City is to the First Academy, the more expensive the land is, but Lin Tao and his party rented Aunt Bai's place, which only cost 100,000 star coins a month. Lin Tao, who thought he only had about 10 million left, received gambling and watching fees from Skynet, and suddenly gained almost half a billion in wealth.

Even Lin Tao didn't expect that Liu Zhengchen's name was so valuable.

But, think about it.

Liu Zhengchen is a member of the Liu family. He has also achieved good results in the Mecha Master Department and even made it onto the Skynet Tianwai Tian rankings. Just relying on this background and these results, he can easily raise a considerable amount of funds.

A simple meal shouldn't be too expensive, Lin Tao thought.

Moreover, Bai Fan is also one of the people Lin Tao intends to win over.

The chip design major has not yet appeared in this era, but since Lin Tao has taken action time and time again, he has not only changed Master Gu Lei and his team, but also changed the life of the director of the Maintenance Department, Tian Zhi. Naturally, he is not afraid of changing Bai Fan's life.

Chips are one of the important standard parts of the mecha's optical computer. If the mechas of later generations want to successfully perform a series of body movements, they must rely on the capabilities of the chips.

"Restaurant?" Bai Fan frowned and said hesitantly: "Lin Tao, let me tell you, some places in Mingyuan City are still very expensive. If you..."

"You pick a place first. We can still come up with a few million." Lin Tao indicated that he should not be too low-key.

"Uh~" Bai Fan was speechless.

The Du siblings sighed upon hearing this. Their Du Di Medicinal Materials Store also had a similar income, but unfortunately the old man was very stingy and the living expenses he could give them every month would definitely not exceed 200,000.

Comparing yourself with others is like comparing yourself to the dead. I really don’t know how Lin Tao made all his money. Du Ruizhi rolled his eyes.

Du Ruiming knew it very well, but he didn't dare to reveal it easily.

"Well, I heard that a restaurant opened recently, and it seems to be from your Anzheng City. The taste should be suitable for you." Bai Fan was also shocked by Lin Tao's magnanimity. He thought about it and immediately thought of a place.

"Oh?" Lin Tao was surprised.

"It's opened by someone from Anzheng City? Then let's go and take a look. Maybe we can get to know him and give him a discount or something." Du Ruizhi's eyes lit up when he heard this and he was very excited.

Although the living expenses given by the old man of the Du family were not much, he was not stingy when it came to daily spending. The two siblings also ate at almost all the restaurants and hotels in Anzheng City. There were familiar faces everywhere, so maybe they could even save some money.

For Du Ruizhi, money can be saved wherever possible.

Du Ruiming shook his head without saying anything. He glanced at Lin Tao, and when he saw Lin Tao nod, he started the hovercraft.

The restaurant is not far away, only about 30 minutes away.

Park the car.

The group entered the restaurant called "Food First".

As soon as I entered, I saw a receptionist in a cheongsam, who came forward with a bright professional smile: "Hello, are you in the lobby or do you need a private room?"

"Lobby bar." Lin Tao asked for a seat in the lobby without thinking much.

There were only four of them in their group, and there was no secret matter, so they might as well stay in the lobby and perhaps hear what the people around them were saying.

After experiencing the restaurant incident in Anzheng City, Lin Tao prefers the seats in the lobby.

Inside the restaurant.

At a dining table sat three young college students.

The three of them were originally talking and laughing, but when they saw Lin Tao and his group, they all put down their chopsticks. One of the students, who had a muscular build, even looked a little ugly and gloomy.

Lin Tao and others sat down and ordered food.

"That person should be Lin Tao, right?" The muscular student put down his bowl and chopsticks, stared at Lin Tao, and said softly.

Although the voice was soft, it was filled with resentment, as if he had an irreconcilable hatred with Lin Tao.

"Brother Li, yes, that's Lin Tao. The one sitting on his left is Du Ruiming, and the woman is Du Ruizhi. They are siblings. When they transferred to another school, it was the three of them who were famous at the school gate. The last person looks familiar. Let me think about it..."

A younger student said, and when he mentioned Bai Fan, he frowned slightly, as if he was lost in thought.

"That man's name is Bai Fan. He's from the maintenance department. But I heard that he's been obsessed with chip racing and now owes Feng Lehou a huge sum of money." The last person spoke.

"Yes, yes, it's Bai Fan. But I heard that he owed money to Feng Lehou, and it seems that Feng Lehou also set up a trap for him." The young student lowered his voice.

"Oh?" The muscular student raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Old Third, what's going on?"

Any student with some ability can find out the identity of Feng Lehou. He is from the underground Blood Wolf Gang. If you offend him, it will be almost impossible to stay in Mingyuan City.

No, even the entire Mingyuan Star can hardly accommodate it.

"I just heard it." The third brother lowered his voice to a whisper, so that only the three of them could hear: "Feng Lehou had his eyes on a piece of land owned by Bai Fan, so he came up with this idea. A friend of mine happened to be hanging out with Feng Lehou at the speeding car park, and he said it when he was drunk."

"This Bai Fan is so unlucky." Another person immediately shook his head.

"Not necessarily." The third brother shook his head and said, "If Bai Fan has a wide range of connections and can find out this information, and then give the land away for free and set out a table of wine to apologize, maybe Fengle Hou will let him go. After all, they only care about the land."

The news of Feng Lehou's disappearance has not yet spread to the campus.

At this time, Lin Tao's table was already full of dishes.

The muscular student stood up suddenly.

"Brother Li, are you going over?" the third brother asked in surprise.

The other man smiled, as if he knew Brother Li very well. He didn't say anything. He just stretched out his chopsticks and started eating.

"Third brother, you guys stay here. Since Lin Tao wants to steal my people, how can I, Li Ang, not go and say hello?"

The muscular student was Li Ang, whom Wang Mingxuan had sent a photo to. At this moment, he held his head high and strode towards Lin Tao's seat.

"Eat slowly, and you will slowly get to know Brother Li's character." The student who was eating saw the third brother also hurriedly stand up, so he quickly grabbed him and said with a smile.

"But……"

"Don't worry, Brother Li is a sensible man. Once you understand what kind of person he is, you will never regret joining our team." The student who was eating the food smiled.

Lin Tao and others were eating when they suddenly saw someone coming to the table and standing next to him. They could not help but put down their bowls and chopsticks.

The Du siblings and others couldn't help but turn their heads to look suspiciously.

"Who are you?" Lin Tao asked puzzledly.

Li Ang did not say anything. He first took a quick glance at the dishes on the table. Wow, this was quite a rich meal. At least he did not look like someone who was short of money.

Then he glanced back and forth quickly at Lin Tao.

What a pity, with this body of muscles, he should be admitted to the mecha division. Li Ang shook his head slightly. He did not answer Lin Tao's words. He stretched out his fingers and snapped: "Send a bottle of Goldu."

Goldu is a red wine that is quite expensive and very popular among wealthy students.

Hearing Li Ang's words, the Du brothers frowned. Bai Fan's face turned pale all of a sudden. He couldn't help but look back and forth between the two of them, wanting to see what had happened between them.

Because, Goldu wine has another name, called duel wine.

Whenever two people disliked each other, they would order a bottle of Goldust, drink a glass from each other, and officially declare a duel.

There are many ways to duel, some are more traditional, and some are more novel. For example, the most popular one now is mecha battle. Of course, due to the control of mecha by Star Mansion, this kind of mecha battle will mostly take place in Skynet.

Duels between mechas that have drunk Goldu wine usually involve gambling, and the stakes are high.

This is extremely popular among the wealthy students of the First Mecha Academy.

In fact, Bai Fan has seen it more than once.

"Goldu?" Suddenly, Du Ruizhi seemed to have thought of something, her pupils suddenly contracted, she raised her head abruptly to look at Lin Tao, then looked at Li Ang who was still standing beside her.

It seemed like this was the first time that the three of them came to Mingyuan City. When did Lin Tao offend anyone again?

Seeing Du Ruizhi and Bai Fan's expressions, Lin Tao was suspicious: "What's wrong with you?"

The two opened their mouths, but after seeing Li Ang's half-smile, they sighed and closed their mouths.

In Mingyuan Star, most restaurants and hotels will have some Goldust wine on hand, and almost everyone in the catering industry will understand what ordering this kind of wine means.

Therefore, when ordering this kind of wine, there will usually be a person in charge of the restaurant or hotel who will specially deliver it. Firstly, it is for the two parties to get to know each other, and secondly, it can be regarded as a kind of persuasion.

If they can be persuaded, both parties will become new friends and it will be beneficial to the development of the restaurant and hotel.
