Translator: 549690339

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed since the novel was put on the shelf.

The royalties for the first month were released.

It was over 80,000 yuan.

Lin Zichen looked at the figure and felt somewhat excited.

His parents, standing by, were even more excited than him, saying that a genius is a genius, excellent at everything.

“Xiao Chen, take this bank card. Your author account is linked to this card. Once the website transfers the royalties in a few days, the money will be deposited here.”

Lin Yansheng handed over a bank card to Lin Zichen and continued, “As for the royalties, since you earned them yourself, you get to decide how to spend them. You can do whatever you want, and mom and dad won’t ask too many questions.”

Lin Zichen took the bank card and nodded to show he understood.

A few days later, when the royalties were transferred to his account, he immediately headed to the mall with the intention to purchase and consume Violent Great Eagle Meat.

This time, he didn’t go straight to the landlord uncle to ask for help with the purchase but instead went to the counter to ask the salesperson if there was a discount for buying a large amount of Exotic Beast Meat.

Then, he was told there was a discount, saying that a bulk purchase of 100 pounds would get a 5% discount.

With this information, Lin Zichen decided not to buy just yet, thinking he would wait until he had saved enough to buy 100 pounds at once.

After all, it was just a matter of next month.

The next day.

School.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan hurried to the cafeteria.

Just a few days before, a new stir-fry window had opened in the cafeteria, and many students said the chef’s dishes were really fragrant and delicious.

When Shen Qinghan learned about this yesterday, she told Lin Zichen she wanted to try it.

Lin Zichen agreed.

So, both of them intentionally didn’t bring lunch today, wanting to eat at the cafeteria instead.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked quickly.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, there weren’t many people queuing up.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan hurriedly ran to the stir-fry window with Lin Zichen and ordered one meat and two vegetable dishes, three dishes in total.

Since they arrived early and didn’t need to queue, it took less than twenty minutes for their three dishes to be cooked.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, holding their dishes, casually found an empty spot to sit down and start eating.

While they were eating, a long queue started to form in the cafeteria.

“Xiao Chen, it’s good that we came early, otherwise we would have to join a long queue now.” Seeing the food line stretching almost out of the cafeteria door, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help feeling fortunate.

Lin Zichen, not one for many words, simply said, “Indeed.”

Just then, a commotion erupted from one of the food lines at the front.

“Why are you cutting in line, go back to the end!”

“I’m not cutting in line, my desk mate saved this spot for me.”

“You think you can reserve a place in the queue for someone? What a joke. Cutting is cutting, get out and line up at the back!”

“So what if I cut in line? I’m cutting in front of my desk mate, it’s none of your damn business!”

“Are you an idiot? Your desk mate is in front of me. How is cutting in front of your desk mate any different from cutting in front of me?”

“I just did, what are you going to do about it!”

Amid the arguing, Lin Zichen recognized He Yu’s voice.

Looking in the direction of the noise, sure enough, it was He Yu having a dispute with someone.

On closer inspection, it seemed that He Yu was upset about someone cutting in line in front of him and was giving the other person an earful.

“Xiao Chen, He Yu is arguing with someone, should we go over and see what’s happening?”

Shen Qinghan also noticed He Yu and, seeing that he was the one being cut in front of, thought about whether to support him or not.

Lin Zichen said indifferently, “We shouldn’t be needed, He Yu has a fierce presence, the guy who jumped the queue got cowered.”

And indeed, that was the case.

The queue-jumper, being in the wrong, couldn’t outtalk He Yu, and quickly left the line.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over.

Suddenly, several boys from the neighboring line left their own queue and walked straight towards He Yu, taking the person who had just been scolded for jumping the queue, and cut in front of He Yu.

He Yu was stunned for a moment, then became somewhat angry out of embarrassment, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Nothing much, just purely wanting to cut in front of you,” said the person ahead of him arrogantly without turning back.

He Yu was infuriated and immediately tried to push all the queue-jumpers out.

However, upon pushing, he found he couldn’t budge them at all!

The queue-jumpers were far stronger than him!

Seeing this, Lin Zichen no longer sat motionless and immediately got up and walked towards He Yu.

He approached He Yu, looked at the people in front of him, and said indifferently, “Out.”

One of them retorted arrogantly, “What can you do if I don’t leave?”

Lin Zichen took out his phone, turned on the recording, and captured the queue-jumping group, saying coolly, “I will report you.”

Upon hearing this, their faces changed, not expecting Lin Zichen to be so shameless.

Normally students resolve conflicts themselves to save face, without involving teachers or school leaders.

Who would act without martial ethics like this?

Soon, the group left the queue, no longer daring to cut in, afraid of being reported on video.

As they passed by Lin Zichen, one of them said disdainfully, “Playing this reporting game is disgraceful.”

Lin Zichen replied, “I find the act of queue-jumping even more disgraceful.”

The person was at a loss for words, feeling humiliated, and swiftly left.

The others left just as quickly.

Shanhai City.

Inside a villa in the affluent district.

The Rat God Cult Sect Hierarch summoned all his followers for a meeting.

There weren’t many of them, just over twenty.

Seeing that everyone was present, the Rat God Cult Sect Hierarch began, “Stupid Strong is dead. He went crazy a while back and messed with the security team at the market, and ended up losing his life.”

Someone clapped and cheered upon hearing this, “Good riddance to that fool. He was always causing trouble with his madness. I’ve wanted him dead for a while; he would have implicated us sooner or later.”

The Rat God Cult Sect Hierarch ignored him and turned to call a young man standing behind him.

Then he introduced to the crowd, “This young man is a newcomer; he will take Stupid Strong’s place. Everyone gets to know him.”

After finishing the introductions, he continued, “Also, the Rat God has conveyed to me that ordinary people are too pitiful and not tasty. From now on, we should target the nobility and higher-ups. Everyone should be aware so we don’t bring the wrong sacrifices later.”

Someone raised a question, “Sect Hierarch, it’s too risky to snatch the high and mighty.”

Another person added, “Yes, Sect Hierarch, it doesn’t matter if one or two ordinary people go missing, but if a noble disappears, it might cause a big issue.”

The Rat God Cult Sect Hierarch said, “Try to choose the sons of wealthy businessmen with no power; the risk will be much lower that way.”

After speaking, he turned to the newcomer, “Since you’re new, you don’t have to snatch the noble ones yet. First, snatch a handsome ordinary young male to practice. Later, offer him to one of the Rat God’s divine sons as a sacrifice.”

The newcomer was puzzled, “Sect Hierarch, why does it have to be someone handsome? Wouldn’t an ugly one suffice?”

The Rat God Cult Sect Hierarch replied, “Because the Rat God likes beautiful things.”

“I see,” the newcomer nodded and then confidently said, “Don’t worry, Sect Hierarch, I’ll present the most handsome sacrifice in the entire city to the divine son.”
