When Bai Yueze heard Lu Yan’s words, he was directly furious. Just as he was about to attack, he remembered that this was the Golden Corner Academy and suppressed his anger.
“Lu Yan, can you be more polite? I didn’t insult you. Why are you insulting me?”
Lu Yan looked at the two of them with an expression that said, “Insult you? When did I do that?”
“You asked me to give up House 3 and move to House 10. Isn’t that something only a fool can say? I’m only stating a fact.”
“You!” Bai Yueze took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yan. “I forgot to mention just now. As long as you’re willing to change houses, I can give you a million energy coins as compensation.”
Lu Yan looked at Bai Yueze and said, “The spirit gathering formation around House 3 is a high-grade spirit gathering formation. If I’m not wrong, the spirit gathering formation in House 10 should be a low-grade one, right? Do you think a million energy coins can make up for this difference?”
Bai Yueze took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yan. “How much do you want?”
Lu Yan stretched out a finger.
“Ten million energy coins? Are you crazy? House 10 doesn’t have a low-grade spirit gathering formation but a mid-grade spirit gathering formation. Although it can’t compare to a high-grade spirit gathering formation, the difference is not too obvious. How can it be worth ten million?!”
Bai Yueze looked at Lu Yan with an ugly expression.
Lu Yan shook his head. “It’s not ten million, but a hundred million energy coins!”
Bai Yueze’s face darkened. “Are you freaking kidding me?”
Lu Yan clapped and smiled. “Wow, you’re so smart. You actually guessed it. What a loss.”
At the side, Bai Yueze’s cousin tugged at Bai Yueze’s arm. “Cousin, forget it. You also said that the difference between the two rooms is not obvious. House 10 is good enough for me.”
Bai Yueze ignored his cousin and looked at Lu Yan with a dark expression. “Do you dare to fight me one-on-one? We’ll talk with our strength. In any case, the rankings will be rearranged at that time. If you lose, you will switch dormitories with him.”
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Yueze. “Is this allowed by the school?”
Bai Yueze said, “The school only forbids coercion, but as long as you agree to the competition and sign a consent agreement, everything will be in line with the school’s rules.”
“Moreover, the school will even approve of such behavior. After all, the competition of the Golden Corner Academy is the strongest among all the universities. As long as you don’t use dirty tricks, it’s fine.”
“Of course, you can also refuse. I won’t violate the school rules and force you to exchange houses with him, but are you sure you want to admit defeat like this?”
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. The other party had indeed not used any violent methods to force him. There were no vulgarities in his words either. He only wanted to use money in the beginning.
Other than his arrogant attitude, there did not seem to be any problems.
Moreover, Lu Yan also had the right to refuse. If the other party forced Lu Yan, it would be a violation of the school rules and the school would directly punish him.
The Golden Corner Academy was very lenient within the rules, but as long as one violated the rules, they would be severely punished.
Lu Yan thought for a moment and looked at Bai Yueze. “You just said that you’re in room 2, right?”
Bai Yueze said, “Of course. Why? Do you want my Room 2? I’m not afraid to tell you that the spirit gathering formation around House 2 is the top-notch spirit gathering formation among high-grade spirit gathering formations, second only to the top-grade spirit gathering formation in Room 1. As long as you can defeat me alone, I’ll trade with you!”
Lu Yan no longer hesitated when he heard this. However, he looked at the cousin beside Bai Yueze and pointed at him. “I’ll switch rooms with him. Then, we’ll fight one-on-one. If I win, I’ll stay in room 2. You’ll stay in House 10.
“Didn’t you say that you want to help your cousin? This way, no matter what happens in the one-on-one competition, he can stay in House 3. Whoever wins will stay in House 2 and whoever loses will stay in House 10.”
Since he wanted to play, he would play with bigger stakes.
Lu Yan did not think that any new student with four attributes had surpassed him. He still had 40 skill points that he had not added. It was impossible for him to lose in a one-on-one battle.
There was still more than a month before the new students arrived. It was not bad to stay in House 2 first.
When Bai Yueze’s cousin heard this, he whispered, “Cousin, why don’t we forget about it? I really think House 10 is still alright.”
Bai Yueze waved his hand and looked at Lu Yan. “Alright! We’ll go to the school’s notary office now and sign the agreement. We’ll fight one-on-one in three days.”
The Golden Corner Academy would not admit to making bets in private unless they went to the school’s notary office first and completed the competition after being appraised by the school’s professional referee.
Lu Yan nodded and headed to the school’s notary office with Bai Yueze.
Along the way, Bai Yueze’s cousin was still trying to persuade him.
From time to time, sentences like “Cousin, forget it”, “It’s fine, it’s impossible for me to lose”, “If you continue, you’ll be looking down on me” could be heard.
Lu Yan shook his head. He could tell that this Bai Yueze was not an arrogant and despotic guy. He was just too eager to show off.
His cousin had not even asked for anything, but he insisted on helping the other party change his dormitory.
Moreover, he seemed somewhat stupid.
After arriving at the school’s notary office, the matter between the two of them was quickly resolved.
This kind of thing often happened in the Golden Corner Academy, and the entire process was very fast.
Three days later, Lu Yan and Bai Yueze would fight in the school arena. Then, they would change their dormitories according to the outcome.
After confirming that there were no other objections, the notary agreement directly took effect.
After it took effect, one could not regret it. The party who wanted to regret it would directly lose.
“Lu Yan, I’m not bragging, but the school’s ranking is still reasonable. I’m number 2. In the eyes of the school’s leaders, I’m stronger than you. When the time comes, you better obediently give up the house.”
“However, I won’t bully you. When the time comes, I’ll still give you a million yuan.”
With that said, Bai Yueze left with his cousin, who was still nagging, as if he had already won.
Lu Yan smiled and shook his head before returning to the dormitory.
After making a call to Luo Liuli and telling about some things that happened after he had come to the school, Lu Yan sat in front of the computer in the room and entered his student number password before entering the school forum of the Golden Corner Academy.
The school forum of the Golden Corner Academy was divided into several sections. There was a section for special students to trade and also a section for various wilderness information guides. Some of the better information guide posts still required credits to be unlocked. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
There was also a section that specialized in chatting. There were all kinds of information inside. There were dozens of posts every time. If one wanted to understand the latest news and various gossip, this was the best place.
Lu Yan briefly browsed the chat section and checked a few of the latest popular news, but it had nothing to do with the new students.
However, Lu Yan saw posts about him.
Someone had specially listed the information of the top ten new students. They were all basic introductions. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖
Lu Yan was quite curious about who was ranked first, so he opened it.
The first thing he saw was the number 10. There was an introduction above and a photo below. It was Bai Yueze’s cousin, Bai Tianyu.
Looking down, Lu Yan quickly saw himself, then Bai Yueze.
The other party’s profession was a warrior. For him to be ranked second, his strength was definitely not bad.
Further down was the number one new student of the Golden Corner Academy.
The name was Bai Miao.
