Chapter 403 - 124: New World Opens (Part 3)

The coach saw Li Shanchun refuse and said it’s okay, he can find someone else.

He doesn’t believe that under his careful guidance, he can’t produce another Ji Heng.

Xue Huiyi had a harder time letting go.

She knew that Li Shanchun’s future was only slightly inferior to Ji Heng, with the same limitless potential.

Previously, she thought Ji Heng would return to the school team since no other place could contain such a big shot, but in the end, Ji Heng teamed up with that loafer Hu Ping.

It was only then that Xue Huiyi remembered Li Shanchun and, among the pile of student profiles, dug out this individual, thinking she could recruit him early into her own team.

She found it difficult to accept Li Shanchun’s refusal.

"The school team has investment from the Xue Family, and in terms of training, there’s a coach from the Military Training School. We have a strong hand. Why won’t you join? As far as I know, no one else wants to team up with you. Besides us, who else has invited you? Rest assured, as long as you join us, I can definitely provide you with the best training resources."

Li Shanchun glanced at Su Xiaocai; it was his uncle who threw him here, and no one else really invited him.

But it was so embarrassing, he didn’t want to say it.

Hu Ping leaned over, "Kid, do you like someone with the surname Xue? Or does someone with the surname Xue have a crush on you? Did you know each other before?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Shanchun just wanted to say he was talking nonsense, that he’s a straightforward, pure-hearted guy—a macho man who should pair with a soft girl, definitely not interested in someone like Xue Huiyi, who looked strong-willed at a glance.

But remembering his uncle telling him to learn to keep his mouth shut, he replied rather curtly, "No."

"Since you don’t, then reply to her message." Hu Ping urged.

Li Shanchun got serious, thought for a while, and typed: "Give up, I won’t team up with you. Someone like me is suited to go solo; women will only slow me down on my path to getting stronger."

"Pfft." Hu Ping burst into laughter, laughing so hard he worried he’d dislocate his jaw.

Wu Qingqing asked him what he was laughing about.

Hu Ping relayed Li Shanchun’s reply to them.

Everyone cracked smiles.

"What are you all laughing about?"

"Oh, nothing, we’re just laughing at Xue Huiyi being so self-indulgent." They could all picture Xue Huiyi’s constipated expression on seeing this message.

Li Shanchun looked over his reply, nothing wrong with it, so why were they laughing? Xue Huiyi, that lady, invited him so courteously, wasn’t it because she had a thing for him?

Seeing Li Shanchun’s message, Xue Huiyi was in a foul mood.

Dazed, seriously doubting whether she had truly been reborn or was just in another parallel universe.

In her memory, Li Shanchun was very eager to make friends, and yet with her sincere invitation, he dared refuse?

Everything was off track; not just Ji Heng and Su Xiaocai, but even someone like Li Shanchun didn’t match her memories.

Without Ji Heng, without Yi Suilu, she couldn’t recall anyone who’d make significant future achievements.

Who could she even pick as a teammate?

Looking at Li Shanchun’s reply once more, Xue Huiyi felt nauseous; she absolutely would not associate with this person again, no way.

A person from a barely stable family thinking she’d like him, overestimating himself, a toad wishing to eat swan meat—utter delusion.

The more Xue Huiyi thought, the angrier she got, breaking two glass cups in her rage.

Xue Huiyi’s attendant walked into the villa with a jug of juice: "Miss, if you keep breaking things, there won’t be anything left to drink water from."

Even with finances frozen and her freedom restricted, Xue Huiyi remained unsettled.

"None of your business, worst case, I’ll use my hands." Xue Huiyi turned around, lifted her skirt’s hem, and went upstairs; everyone underestimated her, even her attendants sneered at her.

...

All students were intensely focused on training.

The promotional activities for Extraordinary Island’s New World were also in full swing.

Merchants who obtained shops in the New World could enter early to set up their stores.

As a result, these past days have seen various staff boasting online.

"Hehe, I came to see first."

"Giving the boss a shout-out, I’m setting up the new shop."

"In the New World, you can not only watch matches but also set up small houses. I really like that feeling.

The New World really opens your eyes; once inside, there’s only one feeling—’I’ve struck gold.’

Just a few hundred to a few thousand in rent and you get a spot with great sales potential. Think of the future foot traffic; even if they don’t buy, they can look around, advertise.

How much do real-world ads cost anyway? The key is, the first renovation costs nothing, and you can decorate however you like, so many options, and you can even upload your own data to construct the store.

It’s so worth it, really worth it.

Just upload your product’s 3D data and you can showcase virtually indistinguishable products inside the store.
