After finishing breakfast, Lin Feng and the chubby guy bought two more breakfasts for a pair of struggling roommates before heading straight back to their dorm.
Beautiful women are certainly appealing, but one shouldn't forget about their brothers, right?
While waiting for the leader and the second in command to finish their breakfast, the four of them left the dorm with their arms around each other and went to their respective classrooms.
The chubby guy is quite capable; he managed to cover for Lin Feng, who didn't attend class yesterday and didn't return to the dorm last night.
Today they had a specialized course. Lin Feng listened to the entire lecture but felt that the teacher kept talking about theories without teaching anything practical.
But what can be done? The teacher can't exactly teach you how to be a hacker, can she?
Still, Lin Feng patiently endured the teacher's lecture. Since he needed to learn, he figured he should study the theory well; after all, a tall building rises from the ground up—without theory, there can be no practice.
However, this material was really boring. As Lin Feng listened, he thought it would be better to find a book on this subject and read it himself. With his ability to read quickly and retain information, he could probably learn faster than what the teacher was teaching.
Moreover, if he self-studied, he could choose what to focus on without having to memorize everything that might not be useful later.
This isn't to say that the teacher was bad; it's just that Lin Feng is different from other students. What he can remember after hearing once may not apply to others. The teacher teaches at a pace suited for the whole class; she can't slow down for one student who learns slowly or speed up for one who learns quickly.
The teacher has a schedule for what content to teach when; she knows what she's doing.
Furthermore, Lin Feng hasn't shown any particular talent in this area yet. The teacher would need to understand his situation before she could focus on nurturing him.
Overall, Lin Feng felt that this educational approach wasn't suitable for him at the moment; self-study seemed better.
After all, Lin Feng is currently in college not for a diploma or future job but for his future career.
Additionally, computer science is just one part of his future career; he can't afford to spend all his energy studying it.
With this mindset, Lin Feng found it hard to take the class seriously and felt somewhat bored.
Fortunately, there wasn't much time left in this class, so Lin Feng endured and didn't sneak out.
Finally, when school was over, Lin Feng dashed out. Today, Liu Jing didn't come, and Lin Feng guessed that she wouldn't be coming back because they were just casual friends. Now that Lin Feng's racing competition was over, Liu Jing no longer needed to follow him around trying to understand him.
Thinking about the girl's various behaviors over the past few days, and recalling the night they pried open Zhu Bajie's gate together, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face as he walked toward the cafeteria.
Since he planned to go to the library in the afternoon to study and gather materials, Lin Feng decided not to go out for lunch but to eat in the school cafeteria instead. During lunchtime, he usually didn't eat with the others, including the chubby guy; they were all buddies and didn't need to stick together all the time.
In the chubby guy's words, this was called "distance creates beauty."
Of course, this was just nonsense from the chubby guy, but Lin Feng deeply resonated with it.
The distance of time was indeed the farthest. It had been nearly ten years since Lin Feng last saw the chubby guy and the others; perhaps this was what "distance creates beauty" meant.
Arriving at the cafeteria alone, Lin Feng queued up. In the morning, he hadn't queued because Ouyang Qian and her friends were still waiting for breakfast, along with the chubby guy. But now that he was alone, he had no choice but to wait in line honestly.
Just as Lin Feng was thinking about how to queue peacefully, he heard a commotion from the front of the line. It seemed like an argument over someone cutting in line. Lin Feng didn't pay much attention; he had cut in line before too, and it usually ended with just a few words exchanged.
However, it seemed that things were escalating because Lin Feng soon heard sounds of a fight breaking out, but it quickly stopped.
A fight while queuing? Out of curiosity, Lin Feng went over to take a look.
Sure enough, there were two people fighting; one of them seemed badly injured and was lying on the ground.
The uninjured one stood there mocking the person he had knocked down for being overconfident.
This person was a tall guy with a robust build and dyed blonde hair; his trendy outfit indicated that he had trained before. No wonder that male student had been taken down so quickly.
People around him pointed at him, but he didn't care at all. He rudely took the place of the person he had knocked down and continued whistling.
Wasn't that too arrogant? Cutting in line was one thing, but doing it so shamelessly! Lin Feng couldn't help but take notice of this arrogant tall guy.
Lin Feng didn't know him; he had only recently reincarnated at this school and had no prior connection with such a brash person from his past life.
But Lin Feng had heard people discussing nearby, and it seemed that this person was the vice president of some Taekwondo Club, which explained his mediocre skills.
Although others were also pointing at the Tall Guy, no one stepped in to uphold justice, nor did anyone help the Student who had been knocked down. Perhaps they were afraid that the Tall Guy would retaliate against them, Lin Feng thought.
While others hesitated to stand up, Lin Feng would not. The Tall Guy might bully ordinary people, but if he encountered Lin Feng, he would surely regret it. Subconsciously, Lin Feng regarded the Tall Guy as a typical school bully who relied on his martial arts skills to intimidate others.
As for Lin Feng himself? He was undoubtedly a chivalrous figure who valued martial ethics in school.
Chivalrous—what a fitting title.
Lin Feng walked over and helped the fallen Student up. The Student had some blood on his face and had been kicked in the stomach, but it didn't seem too serious. It was likely that since they were in school, the Tall Guy hadn't gone all out, though it still hurt quite a bit.
"What happened?" Although Lin Feng had a rough idea of the situation, he felt it was better to ask the person involved.
"He cut in line and then hit me," said the Glasses Man, who was clearly a nerd. He was thin and even skinnier than Lin Feng. Instead of rushing to take revenge, he spoke to Lin Feng.
"Is that so?" Lin Feng hadn't seen the whole process from behind, so he asked everyone around.
Of course, he was also directing his question at the Tall Guy who had done the hitting.
"What? You want to meddle?" The Tall Guy's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Feng appear, but he quickly masked it and asked fiercely.
This question was clearly directed at Lin Feng.
"What? Is that a problem?" Without needing to ask further, Lin Feng realized this guy was just a bully and countered him.
"Fine. Very good!" The Tall Guy smiled upon hearing Lin Feng's words, but his fierce demeanor made any smile meaningless; he was still quite detestable.
"I'll let you meddle." As he laughed, the Tall Guy suddenly kicked at Lin Feng without any warning—quite typical of a thug.
Thugs usually attack unexpectedly; sometimes Lin Feng used similar tactics himself—he understood that well.
Of course, those who fell victim to Lin Feng's tactics were generally worse than thugs themselves; this could be considered using violence to counter violence. No, it was using thug tactics against thugs.
This statement is a bit convoluted, but that's just how he is; being convoluted isn't necessarily bad, at least he has a sense of rhythm, right?
When this Northerner recites tongue twisters, doesn't the rhythm of the words he spits out sound quite rhythmic when he strikes the bamboo board?
What about "Eating grapes without spitting out the skins, not eating grapes but spitting out the skins..." Ah... I'm getting sidetracked.
Faced with Tall Guy's kick, Lin Feng directly responded with a kick of his own. While the former used a rogue move, Lin Feng executed an authentic sweeping kick, passed down from ancient times—he is indeed a great hero.
"Bang..." The two legs collided, but there were no sparks. Both retreated a step; it wasn't that they were evenly matched, but rather that Lin Feng's long leg seemed to have buckled.
Thus, Lin Feng quickly jumped aside, implying that if his leg was injured, it had nothing to do with him.
How could he be so fragile? Lin Feng hadn't even used much force.
Well, Lin Feng initially thought that some authentic heroic moves would counter his rogue techniques, but unexpectedly, the heroic move was too powerful; he couldn't handle it after just one strike.
"Someone's fighting! Everyone come and see!" Lin Feng, looking at Tall Guy who was holding his pant leg, exclaimed.
"What happened? What happened?" Soon, security from the School Cafeteria arrived and asked.
"I don't know either. I saw him knock down this student to cut in line, so I wanted to reason with him and seek justice for this student. But as soon as I spoke, he kicked at me with such speed and force that I was stunned. In the end, his foot hit my leg, and I don't know how he ended up crouching down." As soon as Lin Feng saw security arrive, he quickly recounted what had just happened, of course embellishing some details artistically.
Art is all about beauty; if it can be modified or omitted, that's understandable.
Hearing this left the security guard dumbfounded—how could the one who started the fight be fine while the one who got hit was not?
"What are you standing there for? Take him to the security office! We can sort this out later. I heard he twisted his ankle while playing soccer yesterday; go check if it's an old injury flaring up," Lin Feng, seeing that security was taken in by his act, quickly continued. His demeanor was like that of a leader from the School. The way he rambled on was truly impressive—he didn't even blush or lose his breath.
It turned out that earlier in the morning there had been a chubby guy around; Lin Feng hadn't executed well then. Now he took this opportunity to showcase his talent for nonsense just as well as the chubby guy.
"Hey buddy, if you're hurt just let me know. I can give you my spot. If not, you can talk to other classmates too; why does it have to be like this? Classmates aren't cold-blooded animals; they'll definitely give you special treatment. Don't you think?" Seeing that the tall guy was still clutching his leg and gasping for air, Lin Feng continued speaking. After finishing, he interacted with everyone else; this made his argument even more persuasive.
"Yeah!" The classmates naturally wouldn't hesitate to express their concern when it only took a few words.
"Look, your old injury has flared up again. Hurry to the infirmary. I'll call a few friends to check on you later. Just focus on resting; I'll help cover the medical expenses with some friends, so don't worry," Lin Feng said as he helped the security guard lift him up, offering comfort.
The Tall Guy was about to speak when Lin Feng interrupted, "Don't worry, we're all classmates. I know your family is struggling, and we won't make you pay for the medical bills."
What do you mean my family is struggling? The Tall Guy was almost brought to tears by Lin Feng's words. Can I say something?
Thinking this, the Tall Guy opened his mouth again, but Lin Feng was quicker, pressing down on his hand and saying, "I know your mom is alone in the countryside and you're worried about her. Don't worry; I won't tell her. Just rest for a few days, and you'll be fine. Security Uncle, thank you for your help."
His tone was both soothing and comforting, earning Lin Feng admiration from everyone around. What a good person; he actively helped while also comforting him.
There was nothing to be done; Lin Feng was quick-witted. The Tall Guy didn't want to say anything more; he just wanted to leave this place quickly, or else Lin Feng would make him so angry he'd spit blood.
At this moment, a beautiful girl nearby couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
If Lin Feng had noticed her, he would have been surprised because this girl was Liu Jing. She had watched Lin Feng's performance from start to finish. With someone like Lin Feng around, she could only express her condolences for the Tall Guy. Of course, Miss Liu was also quite displeased with the Tall Guy for cutting in line and hitting someone.
Lin Feng was too focused on dealing with the Tall Guy to notice Liu Jing beside him.
