CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: DID YOU ALSO GET IN WITH LOW SCORES?

When Xu Lin and the others arrived at the beds, the dormitory suddenly fell silent for a while.

Chi Linyue didn’t speak to Liu Longsheng and the other guys when she came to the dorm.

But having such a beauty in the dorm did put a lot of pressure on Liu Longsheng and the others, leaving them unsure of what to do.

"Xu Lin, have you bought your daily necessities?"

Chi Linyue noticed that Xu Lin currently had nothing at all: toothpaste, toothbrush, rinse cup, facial cleanser, body wash, shampoo, blankets, and so on. In short, Xu Lin didn’t have anything.

"I’ll buy them later; there’s a supermarket on campus."

"That works too."

Chi Linyue sat on a chair, the desk in front of her was empty except for Xu Lin’s backpack, cleaner than a face.

Chi Linyue felt something was missing, thought for a moment, and then had a bright idea.

"Xu Lin, did you bring a laptop?"

"Hmm, I plan to buy one online later."

"Let me help you buy one. What kind of laptop do you want?"

"Isn’t that too much trouble?"

Xu Lin said.

"So do you want it or not?"

"Of course, I won’t be polite."

"What kind of laptop do you want, an ultrabook or a gaming laptop?"

Chi Linyue instinctively thought of an ultrabook, but then realized that boys seem to play games more often.

Ultrabooks are more for light office use.

"Ahem!"

Just then, Liu Longsheng cleared his throat twice, looking at Chi Linyue and said, "Speaking of ultrabooks, I think the best ones are from the Fruit brand, like the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro version I recently bought. The performance and battery life are outstanding, and it’s not expensive, less than twenty thousand. Plus, the 14-inch laptop is easy to carry, especially with the design aspect of the Fruit laptop being like a work of art in my opinion. Therefore, I personally believe buying a Fruit laptop is better. And if you use a Fruit phone, you can experience the Fruit ecosystem, which I think is the most perfect!"

Chi Linyue didn’t respond to Liu Longsheng, just asked Xu Lin, "Xu Lin, what do you think?"

Xu Lin was curious, "Can a Fruit laptop play AAA games?"

Liu Longsheng laughed, "Xu Lin, that’s a narrow-minded way to think. Fruit laptops are more for work. Besides, playing games is a waste of time, isn’t it? There are many meaningful things to do in college."

"Sis, actually I’m quite superficial,"

Xu Lin said.

"Then let’s buy a gaming laptop!"

Chi Linyue nodded.

Liu Longsheng cleared his throat twice again and said, "If you really have to buy a gaming laptop, one costing seven to eight thousand would do. It’s not too expensive; a regular family can afford under ten thousand, right?"

Chi Linyue still didn’t respond to Liu Longsheng.

She just opened the online store, then sorted prices from high to low.

"Xu Lin, how about this one?"

Chi Linyue pointed to the top-ranked laptop on the list.

Xu Lin saw that it was a gaming laptop called "Eye of Ruin" valued at more than seventy thousand, with overseas shipping, and at that price, all the configurations were very high, like a 5090ti graphics card, 32GB RAM, 8TB SSD, top-level screen, and so on.

Xie Zhengrong, a hardcore gaming enthusiast, saw that laptop as he was across from Xu Lin’s bed and his eyes widened.

"Xu Lin, this is a 5090ti! Even the 5070’s performance is stronger than the previous 4090. The 5090 would obliterate all AAA games!" Xie Zhengrong was very surprised.

Chi Linyue asked Xu Lin, "Xu Lin, how about this one?"

Xu Lin nodded, "I think this one is great."

Then, Chi Linyue filled in the school address, placed the order, and paid for it.

Seventy thousand plus was nothing to her, a drop in the bucket.

Xie Zhengrong exclaimed, "Awesome! This gaming laptop, over seventy thousand, is probably the strongest in the whole school!"

Seventy thousand plus!

Liu Longsheng was speechless for a while, feeling a bit embarrassed and pained.

Chi Linyue: "This has overseas shipping, will arrive the day after tomorrow. I’ll message you then!"

"Thanks, sis."

"Yeah, Xu Lin, shall we go to the supermarket to buy some things?"

Chi Linyue got up.

So the two left the dorm and headed to the school supermarket.

On their way downstairs, Chi Linyue said leisurely, "Those two dormmates of yours, Hu Donghai and Xie Zhengrong, seem nice. The other one, it’s like his brain caught something, and you’re quite bad too!"

Xu Lin: "Isn’t it you who’s teasing them?"

Chi Linyue’s eyes widened slightly, "Obviously, you’re the worst!"

"Okay, I’m the worst,"

Xu Lin spread his hands.

Chi Linyue continued, "Let’s buy some daily items and a quilt at the supermarket. I’ll be leaving later too."

"Okay."

"If anything comes up, just let me know."

Xu Lin nodded.

The two reached downstairs and got into the car.

Xu Lin mentioned he hadn’t driven a Panamera before, so Chi Linyue let him drive.

At the same time,

A guy from Xu Lin’s class saw them getting into a Panamera before going upstairs.

Not only was there a luxury car, but also a beautiful woman.

The guy took a picture and posted it in the class group chat.

This guy was from Xu Lin’s class.

"Wow, amazing. This guy must be a freshman too, and he’s already driving a Panamera, which costs over a million, right?"

"So envious. Truly a winner in life, starting at the finish line we can’t even reach! Crying.jpg"

He sent two messages in a row.

Since the term started, the class group chat was very active, almost everyone was talking, with varying amounts of information, and some were super active online.

Like Xu Lin’s classmate nicknamed Dragon King, which was Liu Longsheng, could send hundreds of messages a day.

Class assistant Gu Yan said, "Ah! Isn’t this Xu Lin from our class?"

Those two girls just joined in.

"It’s classmate Xu Lin! He’s in our class!"

"Handsome and rich, does Xu Lin have a girlfriend?"

When those two girls joined, other girls joined too.

"Ah! Do we have such a handsome guy in our class?"

"Really? Is he really in our class?"

"When he joined the group earlier, we asked him to share a picture, but he said he’s too ugly, just a nobody. Didn’t expect him to be so handsome!"

"Because only real handsome guys are humble, those who think they’re good-looking love to brag about their looks."

"That’s right, handsome guys aren’t afraid to call themselves ugly or be called ugly, because they know they’re truly handsome and used to it. Whatever you say doesn’t matter."

Liu Longsheng was watching the group chat, and felt that the girls were indirectly mocking him, even though they didn’t name anyone.

Liu Longsheng suddenly felt much worse.

And at this moment, in the dorm, Xie Zhengrong said, "Xu Lin is too amazing. He was just saying an E300 was a dream, and now he’s already driving a Panamera! Truly hides his talent well, no wonder his sister could buy him a seventy-thousand-plus laptop without batting an eye!"

"I’m going out for a walk!"

Hearing this, Liu Longsheng’s face wasn’t too good, feeling like Xu Lin embarrassed him again.

To know, he painstakingly built a reputation in the group, ready to run for class president in college, join the student union, and become a big figure at the Finance University. Especially since he asked his dad to bring over an E300 yesterday, and many people in the group praised him, not a few girls were proactive, making him feel like he was on the verge of becoming a big figure.

But when Xu Lin showed up, all of this seemed shattered.

Liu Longsheng suddenly felt very down.

When he went downstairs, he wasn’t paying attention and bumped into someone.

"Hey! Are you walking without eyes?"

Liu Longsheng was in a bad mood, blurted out, and cursed.

But Zhao Yifei, whom he bumped into, was not someone to easily let it slide: "Are you an idiot? You didn’t watch where you’re going and bumped into me, yet you say I’m the one not watching where I walk? Are your eyes on your forehead?"

"You!"

Liu Longsheng was furious.

Zhao Yifei continued fighting back: "What you? This is Finance University, it’s a top university, we’re high-scorers, high-quality people by right, how do I encounter someone as lacking in quality as you? Did you sneak in with a low score? Disgusting! I have business to deal with, I’m not wasting time with a low-quality person like you!"

Saying that, Zhao Yifei went straight upstairs without looking back.

He’s on the sixth floor.

"You!"

Liu Longsheng felt even worse.

Sneaking in with a low score? I, Liu Longsheng, got in with an entire 652 points!
