GRMFBS CH129

Zhan Yan was surrounded by a group of old professors.

Gu Jiancheng felt stifled.

While feeling stifled, he continued to follow along and learn, learning both well and fast.

The old professors praised him: “Young people just have good brains, they learn really fast.”

By the time they left, the old professors hadn’t finished learning. Knowing that Zhan Yan did morning exercises every day, they made an appointment to learn from him for the next few days.

It was time to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Seeing Gu Jiancheng with a long, handsome face, Zhan Yan couldn’t hold back a laugh.

“You shouldn’t have learned so fast,” Zhan Yan said.

Gu Jiancheng didn’t understand.

Isn’t it impressive that I learn fast and well?

Zhan Yan: “Do you still want to go to the haunted house?”

Gu Jiancheng recalled their experience at the haunted house last time and suddenly realized.

A miscalculation! Only by being scared in the haunted house could they cling to each other. Only by learning Yijinjing slowly could he be taught hand-in-hand.

Next time they learned Wuqinxi, he would definitely learn very slowly and need correction!

In the afternoon, they could select this year’s elective courses. Several of them were in the dorm choosing courses in advance.

“What courses are you all choosing?” Duan Hong asked, “I’m choosing Avian Pathology and Imaging.”

“I want to choose Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine,” Bao Qingshan sighed deeply, “But I feel like I won’t be able to grab a spot. Better change to another one.”

Zhan Yan frowned while tracing the course schedule: “I also want to choose Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, as well as Acupuncture. But both are too popular.”

Bao Qingshan patted him: “I think your hand speed isn’t very reliable either.”

Duan Hong: “You have to fight for these two courses every year. It’s okay if you don’t get them; they’re electives, you can just sneak into the classroom to listen.”

Gu Jiancheng: “I’ll grab them for you, I can definitely get them!”

Holding Zhan Yan’s phone, he prepared himself with full confidence.

The big shot Deep Shadow’s hand speed was very reliable.

Gu Jiancheng gleefully showed the phone screen to Zhan Yan: “Look!”

He grabbed both courses.

Zhan Yan held Gu Jiancheng’s phone: “I didn’t manage to grab them for you…”

Gu Jiancheng: “It’s fine, I’m not interested in those two courses.”

He wasn’t very interested in animal medicine as a whole; he only continued schooling to enjoy a campus romance with his boyfriend.

Zhan Yan: “But you have to choose other courses to make up your credits.”

Gu Jiancheng: “Then I’ll just choose other courses.”

Zhan Yan: “But the remaining courses all conflict with the class times of these two.”

Gu Jiancheng: “…Ah?”

Zhan Yan: “Which means we’ll sometimes have to separate to attend different classes.”

Gu Jiancheng: …

He couldn’t be a clingy boyfriend anymore.

Sob.

Zhan Yan took a moment to check the “Have You Eaten Melon Today?” group. Too little time had passed, not enough for the various information-type big shots to work their magic; there was still no news on the Monster Doctor.

However, a conflict had arisen between the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance again. Zhan Yan scrolled through the gossip threads.

Oh, oh, previously Ghost King Lin Yuan had discovered traces of Deep Shadow battling the Black Nest, and passed this news to the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance.

Both organizations sent people to investigate, clashed at the scene, and started fighting again. It didn’t delay their investigation, though.

Let them fight. Working while fighting had already become a habit for these two organizations.

There was new news in the family group chat again.

Zhan Yunkai: [[Image][Image]]

Zhan Yunkai: [The grapes have arrived.]

Ji Yueming: [[Thumbs Up][Thumbs Up]]

Ji Yueming: [@Zhan Yan What variety are these grapes?]

Ji Yueming: [The flavor is very unique, delicious.]

Zhan Yunkai: [They’re just not very easy to preserve, nearly half were spoiled when they arrived.]

Zhan Yunkai: [I’ll try making jam.]

Zhan Yunkai: [We can also try juicing and freezing them to see if the flavor changes much.]

So far, he only had feedback from his parents. His brother and sister were both busy these two days and hadn’t come home yet.

Both Zhan Yunkai and Ji Yueming were very satisfied with the grapes. Most importantly, eating them was quite a beautiful experience.

When eating grapes alone, peeling them and spitting out seeds was a hassle. But when two people ate together, peeling grape skins for each other became romantic!

While the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance were fighting, the big shots of both sides were sweetly feeding each other grapes.

Zhan Yunkai was quite fast with his hands. By the time Zhan Jinli and Zhan Suiru came home, there were only five grapes left for each of them; the rest had all been used by Zhan Yunkai to try making various grape products.

When these two came home, they first drank the grape juice, both unanimously thinking it was a mixed juice of lychee and grape.

Zhan Suiru: [Delicious! I like these grapes.]

Zhan Yan: [That’s great.]

Zhan Yan: [@Zhan Jinli Ge, what do you think?]

Zhan Suiru: [He adds honey to his grape juice and dips grape flesh in white sugar.]

Zhan Jinli: […]

Zhan Jinli: [Stop slandering me.]

He admitted to adding honey to grape juice, but who dipped grape flesh in sugar? He always ate fresh fruit directly, okay?

Zhan Yan suddenly thought of a question.

Zhan Yan: [Ge, what does fruit taste like to you when you eat it?]

Even if his brother drank fresh juice, he had to add honey. Wouldn’t eating ordinary fruit without sugar taste very sour to him?

Zhan Jinli: [Fragrant.]

Zhan Jinli: [Just the fruit’s own fragrance.]

Zhan Yan: [Don’t you find it very bland or very sour?]

Zhan Jinli: [Eating poor quality fruit tastes very bland, with no flavor.]

Zhan Jinli: [I can taste the sourness, but I don’t find it very sour.]

Zhan Jinli: [These grapes are really good.]

He understood! His brother only had an abnormal taste regarding sweetness, but because of this, he was exceptionally sensitive to the fragrance of fruits. Compared to whether a fruit was sweet, he cared more about whether it was fragrant.

Then these grapes truly suited his brother’s taste!

Ji Yueming: [These grapes are not bad, where did you buy them?]

Zhan Yan: [They’re grapes produced in a small county called Mentong.]

Zhan Yan: [But these grapes aren’t resistant to transportation, nor are they famous. They don’t make much money, and the people over there can barely keep going.]

Zhan Yan: [They’re preparing to chop down all the grape vines.]

Zhan Yunkai: [These grapes preserve quite well as juice too.]

Zhan Yunkai: [Wait for me to test how long their fragrance can be preserved.]

Ji Yueming: [Wait until I go talk to Luo Luo about investing in a grape processing plant and doing premium packaging and sales in Mentong County.]

Her eldest son was taciturn all day and rarely had demands. Now that there was a fruit that suited his taste, it had to be arranged!

Zhan Yan quickly went to contact Luo Luoluo.

Because the batch of grapes Puyang Xia had prematurely forced out had received widespread negative reviews due to the spoiled fruit issue, Mentong County had lost all hope in keeping the grapes, and was planning to chop them down quickly during the spring season to transplant other fruit trees.

If they contacted them late, there probably wouldn’t be any Mentong Big Grapes ever again.

Because this matter was spearheaded by Zhan Yan, he was also somewhat involved in it. Between classes, the company, his tasks to grind for little stars, and keeping an eye on the gossip group, Zhan Yan didn’t have time to go on the chaofan forum for several days. He figured there probably wasn’t anything going on anyway.

The big shot Deep Shadow, who hadn’t received a reply from Approaching Science for several consecutive days: …

Not having been online for so long, could something have happened to Approaching Science?

Gu Jiancheng started contacting Wan Shitong to ask about the situation. Wan Shitong was a network-type. Although he hadn’t managed to mix into the information-type big shots’ gossip group, he still had connections. He found Happy Guessing Game to ask.

Happy Guessing Game: [Approaching Science? Nothing’s wrong with him, he’s been happily eating gossip in the group every day recently.]

Wan Shitong relayed this situation back.

Gu Jiancheng: …Heh heh!

Wan Shitong: [Boss, what do you need Approaching Science for? Maybe I can do it too.]

Gu Jiancheng: [Focus on your game first. Is it almost done?]

Wan Shitong: [Almost, almost. We network-types do this sort of thing incredibly smoothly! I just happen to have some free time recently.]

Gu Jiancheng didn’t speak. Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Wan Shitong asked cautiously: “Boss?”

Gu Jiancheng: [It’s nothing.]

He hung up the phone, his brows gradually furrowing. Wan Shitong had been with him for a long time; the two had started cooperating since their time in Infinite. He understood Wan Shitong very well.

When they were in Infinite, Wan Shitong was not a network-type. More accurately, the concept of a “network-type” did not exist in Infinite. There were many types of dungeon worlds in Infinite; many worlds didn’t have networks at all, or once had them but they had collapsed. Network-type abilities were useless in many Infinite dungeons, their adaptability was too low. A player with purely network-type abilities simply couldn’t survive in Infinite.

Wan Shitong only became a network-type after Infinite was destroyed and he entered this world.

There was something strange about this world. It wasn’t that this world had demons, ghosts, cultivators, and various bizarre foreign supernatural systems like centaurs and druids, but something else—Gu Jiancheng had never discussed Wan Shitong’s network-type abilities with him before this. He easily accepted the change in Wan Shitong’s abilities, and Wan Shitong incredibly naturally utilized his new abilities. Neither of them felt there was anything wrong with this change, not even considering discussing it.

Network-type, network-type… Gu Jiancheng began to recall. When they first arrived in this world, his aftereffects had been flaring up due to that fight with Infinite, leaving him with no energy to notice this matter. Later, he endured the flare-up period, and although the aftereffects were still very severe, he shouldn’t have completely ignored this kind of problem.

Did other players who survived Infinite also become network-types? He hadn’t noticed and needed to check with the Retirees’ Alliance. Before becoming network-types, what were their abilities in Infinite? He remembered Wan Shitong previously was…

“Ugh!” Zhan Yan suddenly stumbled.

“Yan Yan?” Gu Jiancheng supported him, “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

Zhan Yan leaned against his arm to recover for a moment: “It’s nothing, probably just low blood sugar.” Zhan Yan touched his head. He had suddenly felt a bit dizzy just now, but it was fine now. Did he eat too little for breakfast?

A piece of unwrapped fruit candy was suddenly handed over before his eyes. Zhan Yan lowered his head and took the candy in. Green apple flavored.

“Why are you carrying candy around with you?”

Gu Jiancheng: “Didn’t you like eating them for a while previously?”

Zhan Yan’s gaze was quite puzzled. Didn’t Gu Jiancheng feel he was almost addicted to sugar before?

Gu Jiancheng crumpled the candy wrapper: “Ah… it’s just, what if you wanted to eat one again?” Sugar addiction was bad, so it needed to be controlled. But he was also afraid Zhan Yan would feel too uncomfortable controlling it. Anyway, the problem of sugar addiction wasn’t that big, it could be adjusted slowly. Having a piece occasionally wasn’t entirely unacceptable. So he just…

Zhan Yan pushed the candy to the side, his cheek bulging: “Let’s go, let’s go to class together.”

He didn’t have class in the afternoon, but Gu Jiancheng did. Zhan Yan decided to accompany his clingy boyfriend to class. The class he chose for Gu Jiancheng was one he had taken last year. Because he felt the class was taught very well, he grabbed it for Gu Jiancheng. But well-taught classes were also popular, and the classroom filled up in no time. The person teaching was precisely the invisible cat-crazed maniac, Professor Miao, who had previously led their practical classes.

Professor Miao looked up at the newly entered students who couldn’t find seats: “Seats for our class are quite limited. Those who haven’t selected the class, please don’t sit in for now, leave the seats for those who have selected it. This class can be selected from freshman to senior year.”

Professor Miao’s eyes were very sharp: “Zhan Yan, didn’t you already take this last year? What? Missed me and wanted to review it again?”

The classroom burst into laughter. Zhan Yan stood up helplessly, preparing to walk out. Gu Jiancheng looked at him pitifully.

Professor Miao: “The student next to him, stop looking, you need to listen attentively even if you’re alone. I’ll call on you to answer questions later.”

Gu Jiancheng: … Zhan Yan: Pfft.
