Chapter 7: Invite The Devil Into The House

Alex showed a surprised look on her face, but secretly satisfied herself. Although she didn't have any martial arts skills, the effect of the lure eye technique was quite good. 

Shocked, he sheepishly replied, "Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you?" 

Wei Minghai was also a little puzzled. He had just learned the name of the young man, and when he saw the young man's strong appearance just now, he immediately felt a secret desire to help him. He couldn't help blurting it out. However, since he had already spoken out, he must do it. As for the future of this young man, he would consider it first and then decide which way was more appropriate. 

He called the deputy and said he had something to do. Then he got off the car and took Alex to a nearby temporary residence by taxi. Even though he was the director, he didn't like to use public resources for personal matters. 

Alex entered the two-bedroom one-bathroom residence, which was simple and tidy, with a predominantly light blue color scheme. It seemed to have been renovated not long ago, and there was a faint odor in the air that made him frown uncomfortably. 

Wei Minghai turned around and looked at the dirty boy, bent slightly and said, "You go take a shower first, I'll turn on the heater and give you a shirt later. 

Alex nodded obediently, put down the grey bag, and walked towards the room that she remembered resembled a bathroom. 

Soon, there were sounds of water pouring out from inside. 

Wei Minghai walked to the balcony, made a few phone calls, returned to the bedroom and found a thick sportswear, knocked on the bathroom door and then handed it in through the crack. 

Then he went back to the sofa in the living room to meditate. After his verification just now, it was exactly the same as what the boy said, but the only thing that made him a little confused was that the boy's father had an accident on the way to the public works and should be compensated. Why did the enterprise not pay a penny in the end? He had to investigate this matter. 

The sound of the door creaking made Wei Minghai come back to reality. The teenager came out of the bathroom, with a white sports shirt covering his knees and bare legs, and a thick pair of sweat pants in his hands. He looked slightly flushed and whispered, "These pants are too long for me to wear." 

The bulging wide sportswear, the unknown number of rolls in the sleeves, and the expression of the teenager made him look like a bewildered penguin. 

Wei Minghai restrained the urge to laugh and cleared his throat, "You can wear this for now. I'll go out and buy some clothes for you later." 

After saying that, he waved to him again and said, "Come, come and sit down!" 

Alex was still very satisfied with the things that bathed his in this world. The small water jets were very comfortable, and the bathtub looked very beautiful. 

Now is the time to practice quickly and lure this man into eating it! However, before that, he cannot arouse the man's suspicion. Currently, having a good residence also saves him from spending too much time worrying about mundane things. 

He pretended to be cautious and moved to the sofa next to Wei Minghai, sitting down with his head down. 

My name is Wei Minghai, I'm 25 years old, you can call me Uncle Wei. I know your name is Qin , you're 16 years old, you can stay in the room next to mine for the time being. As for your studies. 

Alex immediately put on a look of expectation. 

"I can go to your principal. It's not long since the start of the school. I heard that your grades are quite good, so you should not fall behind. As for the tuition, don't worry about it." Wei Minghai thought for a while and decided that he couldn't let such a poor young man lose his only hope. He would let the young man live here and pay the tuition. He didn't care about the money anyway. He was just going to work here for two years. If the young man could afford to go to college after four months, he would help apply for student loans. If he couldn't, he would be sent to the army. It would be a fate for him and this young man. He didn't know why, but a voice in his heart told him that if he didn't help this young man, he would regret it for the rest of his life. 

Good deeds always bring good results, as the Buddha often said. So he decided to take good care of the young man before he left. 

Alex got the result she wanted, and immediately showed a grateful expression, leaning over to kneel down. Unsurprisingly, the man held her up, but he was only pretending to do so. 

Uncle Wei, be careful. I haven't heard of bringing demons into the room, ha ha! Alex lowered her head and secretly licked his lips. 

Wei Minghai is very efficient. Within three days, the school arranged for brand new uniforms, clean underwear, warm clothes, a stylish backpack, and a mobile phone. 

This uncle is really nice to him. Alex entered the so-called academy in this world. When he was young, he was a member of a noble family and read a lot of books. He was taught by private tutors. This is the first time he has attended such a large school, and he has a sense of novelty. 

The three days of training also showed some results, as all the injuries on his body disappeared completely. Wei Minghai asked his to cut his hair, but he politely refused on the grounds that he had to continue to wear it for three years after his father's death. He joked that hair was such a precious thing, and now only had a fringe under his ears, so Alex trimmed it himself. 

Slouching and half-squinting, leaning against the table and listening to a boring lecture, he was still in his mortal body, practicing at night and naturally wanting to sleep during the day. 

"Qin , you can talk about this topic." 

"Qin !" 

Alex only remembered his current name was Qin , and he needed to change it when he had the chance. He slowly stood up and said impatiently, "What's the matter?" 

There was a burst of laughter around, and the teacher's face turned red with anger, then he yelled: 

Get out of here! 

He was called by his head teacher for a talk during the evening self-study class. 

Qin , I know that your family has undergone a great change, but you should be more cheerful. You are so lucky to meet such a kind person as Director Wei this time. You should study hard and get into a key university. But now what are you doing? You don't listen to the teacher and always doze off. Your learning progress is one month behind others. There are three and a half months before the college entrance examination. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you can't even go to a junior college. 

Alex found himself extremely impatient with the other party's endless chatter, but considering that this homeroom teacher had helped this body before, he lightly replied, "Got it!" 

The homeroom teacher shook his head, as if seeing a future star already falling. After saying a few more words, he let him go. 

Since it was the second half of the third year of high school, night study went until nine o'clock, and basically all the students, including Alex, lived on campus. Eight people shared a room, and it was incredibly noisy. 

"Qin , you said last year that you were definitely going to get into a top university. I think you're dreaming even about getting into a third-tier one." Due to his unfriendly attitude, the people in the dormitory began to laugh at him together. 

Alex had been playing with his phone the whole time. This thing was much more powerful than the communication talismans and telepathy talismans he was familiar with. It could even access the internet, and he was still fascinated by it. He originally didn't want to deal with these little kids, but thinking about his promise to fulfill this body's wishes, he calmly replied, "I said top university, and it's top university!" 

"You're so arrogant, kid." 

"Yeah!" 

There was a commotion in the dormitory. 

"Qin , there's a small test in two weeks. Are you dare to compete with me? If you lose, don't put on such a superior attitude and you have to wash all our dirty clothes for this semester. Are you dare?" A tall and thin boy shouted. 

"I'm willing to accept the challenge. But if I win, all of you have to kneel down and kowtow to me three times and call me 'Ancestor' three times." Alex replied indifferently. 

The few people in the dormitory looked at each other, whispered for a while, and then agreed unanimously. 

In the past few days at school, Alex had digested a lot of information and also visited the school library a few times. He roughly understood that in this world, power and money were the most important things. Originally, he still wanted to quickly cultivate his martial arts, but in this era of missiles and nuclear bombs, he could be sure that even if he reached the Condensation Yuan stage, he might not be able to withstand a missile, let alone a nuclear bomb that could turn a city to ashes. 

Therefore, he decided to cultivate his martial arts while also pursuing material success. The first step was to get into a prestigious university and go to a big city. 

He only needed ten days to open up 108 acupoints and reach the initial stage of Qi Accumulation. Being able to fly on walls and walk on roofs was not the main point; having a photographic memory was what he needed most right now.
