The St. Lijoann Academy was huge, it would take more than 10 minutes to travel from the dormitory to the courtyard.
Not only did one have to pass through a natural forest, one would also have to walk half a round around the huge lake.
The four boys carried their respective luggages and got to know each other throughout their journey.
They were all young people, and there was no age barrier in communication.
The man with a strong body was called Wei Qing. He was in his early twenties, despite him being tall and burly, he was actually an introvert who spoke in a quiet voice.
Lin Bai stood beside him, unable to get a conversation going.
On the contrary, the other two roommates were very outgoing. They were twins, just as he expected.
The elder brother was Li Tongwen, and the younger brother was Li Tongwu.
Their names represented their parents' wishes for them: one well-versed in intellect the other in martial arts[1."Wen" meant anything to do with literacy while 'Wu' represented martial arts.].
It's a pity that things backfired. They noticed that the elder brother was mediocre and preferred to practice martial arts, while the younger brother was extremely talented but loved to read.
Especially webnovels.
"Wei Qing, what hobbies do you have?"
Li Tongwu grinned, "Perhaps you're like my brother, who likes to exercise seeing that you are in such good shape?"
"No… That's not…" Wei Qing hadn't yet integrated into the group, stammered and explained quietly, "I just… I was very fat at first, but after practicing a set of boxing techniques, I lost weight…"
"Not bad, practicing martial arts and body sculpting, you've probably perfected your boxing technique?"
Li Tongwu's eyes widened, "There's actually an Awakened beside me!?"
Awakening was not something that can be achieved overnight. Talented people need to go through a long period of training before they can reach the most obvious state of apprenticeship.
The most obvious feature was the change of posture.
Fat people would become bulky, while thin people would be in shape.
Li Tongwen also showed a surprised expression, and then praised: "I didn't expect that there would be an Awakened Boss in our dormitory. It seems that I will learn a lot from you, Old Wei."
"No… no… It's not to that extent…"
Wei Qing's cheeks flushed from the praise, and he began to stammer.
"Good Lord, Old Wei is shy!"
Li Tongwu laughed, and turned to look at Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, what about you? What do you usually like to do?"
"Me?"
While Lin Bai was also relatively introverted, he was not as socially fearful as Wei Qing. At least he did not stutter when speaking and could chat casually: "I usually write novels when I have nothing to do, and when I am tired, I watch short videos such as hot dances to pass time."
"Yo, you write novels too?"
Li Tongwu raised his brows, "Has it been published? Or is it still for fun? I wrote a book before, but it took me 10 days for two people to add my novel to their Library."
"It's like this for first timers." Lin Bai didn't intend to show off. "A novel is easy to read, but difficult to write. The data for my first book is also very poor."
He wasn't lying, he was referring to the first book he wrote on Earth.
"Indeed, I felt that those authors' writing were very ordinary when I was reading the novels, but I didn't even know how to write the first sentence at the beginning when it was my turn to write."
Li Tongwu has a deep understanding, and nodded empathetically, "However, I recently came across a work written by a very powerful author. The data exploded, and he became a God with one book. I don't know if you have read it."
"What's the title?"
Lin Bai had a faint premonition in his heart. You are not talking about me, are you?
"The girl beside the sycamore tree!"
Li Tongwu looked around and after confirming that there was no one else, a wretched smile appeared on his face and announced the name of the novel. "This book is… ouch! Big Brother, why are you kicking me!"
Li Tongwen glared at him, did not speak, and winked desperately.
"Oh, we're all adults now, and this book is not something that cannot be read, what's wrong with sharing good things with good brothers!"
Li Tongwu took out his mobile phone, logged on to Myriad World Novel Network with a face of indifference and searched for Lin Bai's debut novel.
The content skipped to the plot of the hero and heroine engaging in the R18 part, and then leaned over with an arm around Lin Bai's shoulder after flipping for a while.
"Look, look, how vivid this description is, which man won't be mesmerized after reading it?"
"…"
The corner of Lin Bai's mouth twitched. For some reason, he felt an indescribable sense of shame when looking at his work in front of others.
F*ck!
How could he have written such a plot!
"Come, come, Wei Qing, take a look too."
Li Tongwu stretched out his arms, insisting that all the good brothers in the dormitory read this novel.
"…"
Wei Qing just glanced at it briefly, then looked away blushing.
"So…"
Lin Bai coughed lightly, and began to change the subject, "I've read this book, and it's really good, but the author seems to have published a new book, which has better data than this book."
"Really?"
Li Tongwu scratched his head, retracted his hand to operate the phone, "I have been busy with the entrance examination these two days, so I haven't paid much attention to it… Hey, there really is one, Heavenly Dao Record… The naming is a bit domineering…"
"That author has a new book?"
Li Tongwen also came over to take a look. After seeing the introduction, his eyes lit up immediately.
Prove your way of life with martial arts and break through the sky with your strength!
What a domineering protagonist!
He liked it!
Of course Li Tongwen, who was keen on martial arts, would not miss such a book, so he followed in the footsteps of his younger brother and took out his mobile phone to immerse himself in the world of "Heavenly Dao Record".
Wei Qing sneaked a glance at them. He had always wanted to blend into the crowd, but he couldn't find the right words to insert himself into the crowd because of his clumsy mouth.
After thinking about it, he simply took out his phone and read it together.
He was also deeply attracted by the content after reading it.
Moreover, he read it throughout the whole journey.
The original 10 minutes journey was abruptly prolonged by the two of them more than several times.
When they arrived at the dormitory, the two brothers and Wei Qing still couldn't put down their phones, and they didn't even plan to pack their luggage.
Lin Bai sized up the dormitory environment alone.
It was not considered to be big, the four beds and the computer desk below take up nearly one-third of the space.
However, it was not too small either. It was equipped with a separate bathroom and balcony, and there was also a washing machine. There are no major problems for daily life other than being unable to cook.
So he picked a bed by the balcony and started packing his luggage.
The bed has to be made, the clothes have to be hung up, and the computer has to be installed… Today's manuscript hasn't been sent yet.
There were a lot of cumbersome things to do, and it was too late for lunch, so he didn't deal with these miscellaneous things until the afternoon.
"D*mmit! Why are there no more new chapters!!!"
Li Tongwu's shout suddenly sounded from a corner of the dormitory.
He looked confused, "What happened after the male lead saved the female lead? What did he do? Is there any sexual plot!"
Brother Li Tongwen also had a constipated expression, "It feels different from the last R18 porn. The writing style has changed a lot. This book focuses on martial arts, not love."
Wei Qing let out a long breath, and he, who had always shown others with a smile, was also a little depressed at the moment.
He had yet to have enough of it!
So irritating!
"It's annoying, aiyo." Li Tongwu gritted his teeth, "Where did the author learn such a mode of operation? He doesn't send out the writing at once, but insists on releasing completed chapters first. I'm really convinced."
"It's really annoying." Li Tongwen took a deep breath, "This book is much better. Maybe the author put a lot of effort into writing it and has yet to conceive the following plot, so we can only wait."
Li Tongwu wanted to cry. "When will I have to wait until… I feel like there are ants crawling all over my body."
"Why don't we give a gift and try to motivate the author?"
"Big Brother, do you have any money?"
"…I haven't paid the dormitory fee yet, so don't even think about getting it from me."
Both pairs of eyes moved to Lin Bai at the same time.
"???"
Lin Bai looked confused. You can't be serious. Borrowing money from me to give me a reward? Impossible… Right?
