Chapter 54 New Neighbors
Jiang Ning did not choose to expose him. Since he did not say it clearly, she was happy to pretend to be ignorant.
Because her windmill grass was priced too high, there were many inquiries throughout the afternoon, but few buyers.
Just as expected, the few buyers were all freshmen this year.
Except for Si Yuan.
The Jinsha Market lasts for three days, but Lao Zhou estimated that he would not be kind enough to give them a day off the next two days.
Jiang Ning packed up her stall early and prepared to go shopping for other things in the market, and then go to the cafeteria to eat something and go back.
It's just...
"Why are you still following me?" Jiang Ning turned her head and glanced at Si Yuan who had caught up with her. "My day is over."
The implication was that you should just do whatever you need to do.
"I also want to go to the market and experience the academic atmosphere of Semir Academy. Why don't we go together?" Si Yuan said.
"Okay!" Jiang Ning thought about it and agreed happily.
The flow of people in the Jinsha Market has increased instead of decreased. Perhaps it is because the students are out of class now, and there are more people in the square than at the beginning.
Jiang Ning scanned the stalls all the way. Most of the stalls sold daily necessities, which she was not interested in.
She turned her head to look at Si Yuan, and saw that his eyes only stayed on those goods for a moment, and then moved away.
Jiang Ning asked curiously, "Why did you come to our Semir College as an exchange student?"
King's College is a top-level institution even among first-class colleges. The college environment and teaching quality are beyond reproach. If he said that he came here specifically for her sunflower, that would be unnecessary.
Si Yuan must have other purposes, right?
Si Yuan folded his hands behind his back, his back straight, and had a rather old-fashioned attitude: "Principal Batu asked our Yuanxia Group to invest in Semir College before, so as the boss of Yuanxia Group, of course I want to see where the money we invested in the school is spent."
... So he just came to inspect the school?
Jiang Ning looked him up and down.
Si Yuan scanned the surroundings: "From what I can see, it seems that the investment needs to be strengthened."
The environment of Semiya College is far behind that of the King's College.
For Principal Batu, Si Yuan's arrival is of course a happy thing. Now the only two 3S+ psychics in the Federation are both in their school. Although one is useless and the other is a waste, once this gimmick is released, the number of new students who want to apply for Semiya next year will double.
When Si Yuan wrote him an application letter for exchange students, he was flattered. Not to mention that Si Yuan was a 3S+ psychic, just based on the fact that he was a big sponsor, what else could Principal Batu not agree to?
As they were walking around, they happened to meet Xia Shi who had just finished shopping.
"Xia Shi!" Jiang Ning greeted him enthusiastically. Xia
Shi was holding a bunch of things in his arms. He was very happy to see Jiang Ning and couldn't wait to show off what he had in his hands: "This is what I just took out."
"A... storage box?" Jiang Ning looked at the bright yellow device box in his arms.
The box looked heavy and was made of a lot of metal and plastic. The top layer was transparent and the space inside looked very limited.
"This is a food storage box. It can be used to keep fruits and vegetables fresh and increase the taste of fruits and vegetables." Xia Shi introduced.
"It's just a chicken rib, it can only hold one fruit or vegetable at a time." Si Yuan said, "At that time, they also approached us for investment, but the production cost was too high and the performance was not strong, so we rejected it."
Xia Shi took back the box and asked, "Who is this classmate?"
"Si Yuan."
"Si Yuan!?" Xia Shi's eyes widened, "Is it the Si Yuan I was thinking of?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
Xia Shi: "Fuck...!"
"Why is he here!?" Xia Shi asked in surprise.
Jiang Ning was about to explain to him, but he caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man in a tuxedo, with neatly combed hair and a small mustache on his lips walking over from a distance.
He walked to Si Yuan respectfully and said to him in a low voice, "Master, your dormitory has been cleaned up."
Jiang Ning recognized that this was the housekeeper who compensated her double compensation at M412. He also mentioned that he seemed to be Si Yuan's guardian.
"Thank you, Afu." Si Yuan said softly.
"You're welcome, young master. This is what I should do for you." Butler Afu paused and said, "I just don't know why you came to Semir College in person. These matters can be handled by other directors of Yuanxia Group."
"Ahem." Si Yuan coughed twice to cover up, "The directors are very busy, so I won't bother them. Besides, I want to experience it from a student's perspective."
"Of course." Butler Afu looked at him with satisfaction. He continued, "Young master, when I came here, Principal Batu happened to want to invite you to come over. I wonder if you are free now?"
"I'll go over now." Si Yuan said, turning his head and looking at Jiang Ning with regret, "Sorry, I can't accompany you to continue shopping."
Jiang Ning waved his hand: "You go and do your work. When the windmill grass is ready, I will contact you through Xingnao."
Ah Fu bowed to the two of them.
After Si Yuan and the other two left, Xia Shi, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He gestured with his hand in the direction the two left, and his voice began to stutter.
"Let's continue shopping." Jiang Ning didn't want to talk about the two.
Si Yuan deliberately approached her many times, making her always feel that he had bad intentions.
She calmed down and changed the subject, asking, "What good stuff did you find at the Jinsha Market just now?"
Xia Shi's attention was indeed diverted, and he showed all the things in his arms, "They are all things needed for planting."
"What is this?" Jiang Ning picked up a pair of glasses from a pile of hoe showers. The
glasses are semi-enclosed head-mounted, very light and thin, with a blue-black color scheme, and look very technological.
"I was just about to tell you this, this is a virtual game device for the most popular game in the Federation. Guess how many star coins it costs?" Xia Shi put down the pile of things in his arms, took the glasses, and asked Jiang Ning excitedly.
Jiang Ning shook her head: "How much?"
She rarely paid attention to games and entertainment.
"It's only 2,000 star coins!" Xia Shi was shocked, "You can buy the equipment for this game for 2,000 star coins, can you believe it?"
Xia Shi: "And I looked carefully, although it is second-hand, but it has all the functions it should have, and there is no damage on the surface, it is almost brand new."
"So its original price?" Looking at Xia Shi's pupils shaking, it should not be cheap.
"Twenty thousand star coins." Xia Shi made a "yeah" gesture with his hand.
This is just the price of the game equipment, not the price of the game itself.
Jiang Ning nodded in agreement: "One tenth, that's really cheap."
Xia Shi said: "I'll give it to you to play tonight."
"I don't play games much." Jiang Ning politely refused.
She has basically never played video games in either world.
"This game is different. I guarantee you will fall in love with it once you play it." Xia Shi said firmly.
"It's "Superpower Battle". The purchase volume across the stars exceeds 480 million. Many star citizens are playing it. It is a superpower competition game and supports multiplayer online PK. Its biggest feature is the open world. Players have a high degree of freedom. Not only can they choose their original superpowers, but they can also try to switch to various other superpowers."
Being able to switch superpowers?
This point really attracted Jiang Ning.
Seeing Jiang Ning's expression being persuaded, Xia Shi smiled and said, "I'll go find you tonight."
The two walked around the market for a while and then went back.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the dormitory.
Xia Shi hadn't come back yet, so his dormitory was dark, but the lights on the first floor of her dormitory were bright, presumably Simon or Wei Shengyu had come back.
Jiang Ning moved her eyes to the left and found that the lights in Building A-03 next to her were also on.
The first thought in Jiang Ning's mind was, "There's a new student in the Department of Botany."
She walked over and politely knocked on the door of Building A-03.
With the sound of steady footsteps coming from afar, the door opened
