When he accepted the money just now, he had already felt that this roll of banknotes was very thick. Now that he carefully counted them, he was even more surprised!

He realised that these were all brand new 20 sols notes! ! A total of 40 pieces!

That was 800 sols!

Even when he had helped gangsters do those terrible jobs, he had never received such a high reward before!

This part-time job was really worth it!

“Yoo-hoo! !”

There was no one else on the road, so Scott jumped up and down in joy!

Money greatly relieved his fatigue!

He whistled all the way back to the campus!

He opened the door of the dormitory and found Yinyang meditating. He asked happily, “Can you tell me where I can buy a mobile phone?”

Zhang Tong replied instead while preparing meals in the kitchen. “Buddy, you can’t buy a phone with eight sols!”

After sampling the fatty’s handmade sauce, he smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that. Just tell me!”

Zhang Tong put the food on the table, took out his phone and guided Scott with online shopping. He selected a not bad phone model for Scott.

Scott paid Zhang Tong accordingly in cash.

He looked at the money and asked curiously, “Hey, Buddy, did you rob someone? Where did you get so much money? Do we need to run soon?”

Knowing that he was joking, Scott ate the sausage and said, “The employer is a very generous and kind old lady. I helped her a lot, so she gave me an astonishing reward!”

Yinyang, who had just finished meditating, also came over. “Such a good thing? Does she still need help? I want to go too!”

After handing over a bowl of soup, Zhang Tong ate the apple pie Scott brought back and asked, “Your family is so rich, do you still need to work? This pie is really good!”

Yinyang shook his finger and said, “My family is very strict. My father won’t give me extra money. Besides, the girls at school are very realistic. We’re 20 years old, and without a car, it’s hard to get them!”

Indeed, all men are the same. They would be full of energy when discussing women.

Although Scott was a little tired from using his mental strength, he was immediately energised!

His eyes lit up. “You’re right, as adults, we need the opposite sex, but without money, everything is in vain…”

The trio were eating Mrs Jones’ apple pies. They become more excited as they chat and didn’ even notice that their soup had turned cold.

In the end, they decided to work part-time. They would buy a car together first.

While washing the dishes, Scott asked Zhang Tong, “Why don’t you move in with us? Every room is very spacious. It’s enough for you to have a bed and those yellow discs.”

This made Yinyang burst into laughter.

Zhang Tong smiled embarrassedly and said, “Hehe… the main thing is that I snore too loudly. I’m afraid that you guys can’t stand it. Anyway, I live next door. If there’s anything, I can come over immediately.”

Scott shrugged, leaving it up to Zhang Tong to decide himself.

After cleaning up, Scott suggested that they should stroll around the campus.

Chalmers Martial Arts Academy was very lively at night.

Students across grades were clustering on playgrounds, in bars, in restaurants, and in bowling alleys.

Beautiful girls and handsome guys could be seen everywhere.

“Wow, is our night life so exciting?” Zhang Tong’s reaction was a little like a country bumpkin. He had grown up in the town, but he had never seen any other entertainment places besides the taverns filled with middle-aged people.

“Don’t make a fuss, people are laughing at us…” Yinyang pulled Zhang Tong, who was stretching his neck, towards the ice cream shop.

Yet, Scott’s attention was on a bar. “Why don’t we have some drinks?” he suggested.

The other two shrugged and didn’t mind.

After a day of training, everyone’s back was aching. Having a glass of rum or dark beer was definitely a pleasure then.

There was some crowd in the pub. When the three of them walked in, they attracted the attention of many senior students.

“I heard that the red-haired kid broke the freshmen aura record held for twenty years in our academy.”

“No Way! This kid looks thinner than my dog!”

“This is too trivial! He beat up Maki Jiro on his first day of class!”

“Wow! Not Bad! He dared to mess with that guy? His brother will be back in a while. There will be a good show to watch!”

With so many seniors staring at them, Zhang Tong and Yinyang were a little nervous.

Scott didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. He had seen all kinds of villains in the neighbourhood, who else had he not met before? In his eyes, these guys sizing them up were just a bunch of kids.

“Puck!” He walked to the bar counter and snapped his fingers at the bartender. “Could you please give me a glass of whiskey? Dark beer and rum for the two of them!”

Their arrival caused a subtle change in the bar’s atmosphere.

Students of other ages stared at them with unkind eyes.

“Is there something on my face?” Scott asked Yinyang who was next to him after taking a sip of the liquor. 

Although his father was a well-known teacher in the school, Yinyang knew that most of the people in this bar were sons of rich families or officials. Compared to his family, they were much stronger.

Sensing their weakened aura, he swallowed his saliva and replied, “Buddy, the ice cream shop next door seems to be more suitable for us…”

“Agreed…” Zhang Tong, who hadn’t had a chance to drink, had beads of sweat on his forehead. He felt that the bar’s warriors’ aura was rising.

The bartender wiped his glass and reminded him with a smile, “Guys, leave if you have nothing to do. I haven’t seen a freshman come here to play and return safely in so many years.”

“Oh? Is someone going to give me a massage or treat us to a drink?” Scott didn’t take his word of advice. Instead, he responded in a joking manner.

The bartender was amused by Scott’s words. He put down his glass and said, “Kid, you have a lot of guts. Your two companions aren’t that good.”

Scott looked at the two people beside him who were sweating profusely. He smiled bitterly and said, “They are good kids, but I’m not. I’ll take care of them.” Scott said

“Hahahaha, I’m just kidding. It’s a tradition of the academy for senior students to use their warriors’ aura to scare freshmen who just come to the bar! But you’re not bad. You have the charisma of a boss. Let’s have a drink together!” The 40-year-old bartender was very open-minded. He poured himself some Japanese wine and drank with the trio.

Everyone felt great with the dim lights and the melodious jazz. Many men and women had already started dancing.

Some men had started kissing their lovers, which made Yinyang and Zhang Tong mouths dry, so they kept drinking.

However, Scott’s attention was not on women, but the senior students.

Strictly speaking, it was on the stronger ones..
