The Fourth Academy Restaurant looks rather plain, with a commercial building housing restaurants, department stores, entertainment facilities, and everyday amenities.
The Fourth Academy Restaurant is located on the top floor. Only those with certain capabilities can access the top floor, as it either features top-tier establishments or is in a dire state.
Since it's the start of the school season, there are still many people in the commercial building. Even in the early morning, one can see crowds coming and going continuously.
Everyone is queuing for the elevator, and even when it arrives, a swarm of people rushes in, pushing against each other. The campus area is indeed densely populated...
However, this does not affect Lin Ta and his companions. As students of the Fourth Academy, they have access to a private high-speed elevator that only requires them to scan their Trainee ID to enter.
Compared to the crowded regular elevator next door, there are only eight or nine people on Lin's side. Under the envious gazes of students from other schools, they stepped into the high-speed elevator. It is at this moment that Fourth Academy students can proudly hold their heads high, as students from the Three Major Academies often look down on them.
Lin and his companions stood in the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor, which surprised several fellow students from their school. They clearly did not expect these three to possess such capabilities.
A friendly tall boy asked, "Excuse me, are you new students?"
Curious about what this person wanted, Lin replied with interest, "Yes, all three of us are. What about you?"
The boy had an expression that suggested he expected this response and then smiled, "I'm from the Business Department, two years ahead of you. I’m basically your senior. I just wanted to remind you that dining at this Fourth Restaurant can be quite expensive. If you're not financially well-off, it's better to eat somewhere else."
The reminder from the unfamiliar senior warmed Lin Xin's heart. He smiled back but was interrupted by his straightforward companion Xing Shifang who blurted out, "We have money! When we enrolled, the school just..."
Lin quickly pulled him back, realizing he was about to mention the one million enrollment scholarship. That would undermine the senior's goodwill.
"Thank you for your advice, senior. My family has given me some money. We heard this place is quite expensive and just came to take a look. If we can't afford it, we can always go down later; it's good to broaden our horizons."
This kind of polite conversation was something Lin wouldn't have been able to manage before; his ability to engage like this showed how much he had changed. His words left the senior speechless as he simply smiled back at him.
Just then, with a "Ding!" sound, the seniors arrived. The senior nodded and smiled at Lin Ta and then walked down the elevator.
As they walked, they continued discussing, and their conversation was faintly audible.
"Yun Shu, why are you meddling in other people's business? Aren't all freshmen like this, proud and arrogant? They need to experience some hardships to realize that Wuyuan Star's school is different."
"Hey, we're all from the same school. We were bullied before, and now that the juniors are enrolling, shouldn't we take care of them and give them a reminder? You won't lose anything..."
"I think Yun Shu is just interested in that junior girl. Tsk tsk, she's beautiful! She's almost on par with Valkyrie. With such a pretty junior girl, her boyfriend must be really wealthy!"
"Why do you care if she has money? What about you? You didn't do well in school, and now you're looking at junior girls. By the way, did you finish your business plan during the break?"
"Forget about that assignment. Oh right, I heard Valkyrie's Private Jet is arriving today. Many people are waiting at the First Academy's entrance to welcome her. Are we going to check it out later?"
...
The elevator doors slowly closed, and Lin could no longer hear what the seniors were discussing. However, he felt a jolt in his heart as he muttered to himself, "Valkyrie?"
"I heard she's an exceptionally talented freshman who made a name for herself in the Youth Interstellar Rankings. She broke into the top 100 at thirteen years old and now holds the first place in the Youth Interstellar Rankings. No one has been able to challenge her; it's rumored that the gap between her and second place is vast. She'll probably hold onto this first place until she reaches the age limit of twenty."
Xing Shifang heard Lin's muttering and shared everything he knew.
Lin listened but only understood part of it; he had never heard of Valkyrie before, and he was even less familiar with the Youth Interstellar Rankings.
After asking for more details, Xing Shifang finally revealed everything he knew.
The so-called Youth Interstellar Rankings is held in a manner similar to the Star Sea Top 100, but with many restrictions; it is only open to those under twenty years old and is limited to the Primitive Star Domain.
It is understandable that this ranking is not widely known, as participants are either wealthy or noble, all from civilizations of level three or above. It is an event for the elite to showcase their names.
Valkyrie, known as Breaking the Ice, comes from a political family with generations of leadership in the Primitive Star Domain. They are one of the top three civilizations in the Primitive Star Domain, just like Yuming's family.
This Valkyrie is exceptionally intelligent and possesses remarkable talent, being a rare “Breaking the Ice body” of the Icebreaker Clan. Her talent has already reached level “a”, unmatched by ordinary individuals.
Since she entered the Youth Interstellar Rankings, she has become an overnight sensation, becoming the most popular martial arts girl in the Primitive Star Domain, revered by her peers as Valkyrie.
Her suitors are as numerous as flies, with many heirs of powerful families striving to win her hand in marriage.
“Brother, I only know this much because my grandfather forced me to watch it since I’m coming to the Primitive Star Domain. Anyway, my grandfather said that the only person who could rival me in the Primitive Star Domain is this girl!”
Scratching his head, Xing Shifang looked sincerely at Lin, feeling guilty for his lack of knowledge. How pure-hearted this boy must be!
This statement was thought-provoking. Lin stared at Xing Shifang with interest, shocked to discover that Xing Shifang’s martial arts talent was so impressive!
He was also intrigued by the Valkyrie mentioned by Xing Shifang. Such a rumored opponent was exactly what Lin was looking for. As a martial artist, he aimed for achievements comparable to his culinary skills, striving for strength through cultivation!
“Hey! You two, discussing another girl in front of me as if I don’t exist—can you consider my feelings?”
Lost in thought, Lin was pulled back to reality by Dream Source’s waving hand and cheerful tone. He awkwardly smiled and said, “No way, Dream Source, you know we’ve already made our vows to each other. How could I be interested in another girl? I’m just curious about how strong she is…”
“That’s still not acceptable!”
Pouting and looking sulky was endearing, but it left Lin at a loss. He scratched his chin and rubbed his nose, unsure of what to do.
Lin was not Fatty; his earlier smooth talk was merely an imitation of Fatty Chen's style, without grasping its essence. It seemed that Lin still needed a lot of practice in charming girls.
However, it seemed that Dream Source had also become quite jealous, turning into a veritable jealousy pot.
The feelings between the two had changed, and their perspective on this relationship had shifted as well. If at first it was just Lin's protective instinct towards Dream Source, now it could be declared that they were truly in love!
Like ordinary couples, they would speculate about each other and miss one another, both possessing a strong sense of possessiveness...
"Wait a minute, bro, Sister Meng, you two just made a lifelong commitment... Could it be that you already..."
"What are you thinking!"
The two, currently in a cold war, immediately reacted like cats whose tails had been stepped on, shouting in unison at Xing Shifang.
"I was just asking if you have any babies. In books, after making a lifelong commitment, there are usually babies..." Xing Shifang said innocently.
Lin looked at him as if he were an idiot, exasperatedly saying, "Get lost! You idiot! I just misspoke; I didn't... cough, anyway, I've only seen..."
"You shut up too! You're both idiots!"
Dream Source glared at the two of them and gave each a light smack on the head, instantly silencing them.
