Chapter 44: Almost Burned Down the Academy on the First Day of School
Xia Shi lived in the building next to hers, 【A-01】. The two of them returned to the dormitory area together.
The houses in the villa area were very large, all with a small two-story design. However, only she and Xia Shi lived here. The entire villa area was empty and devoid of human presence, looking rather eerie.
After Jiang Ning swiped her card to enter her A-02 building, she went up to the second floor and randomly chose a larger room to live in.
The house was equipped with a full-house smart system and had been cleaned the day before Jiang Ning moved in. The appliances inside were complete, and she could move in directly with her luggage.
Just as Jiang Ning put down her luggage and took out the sunflowers, Ke Lai made a video call.
“How is Semir Academy? I heard their dormitories are notoriously bad?” Ke Lai also registered today.
Jiang Ning looked up at the environment inside the villa. “It depends on the department. Mine isn’t bad.”
“They have ones that aren’t bad?” Ke Lai blinked. Not a single Semir Academy student on the entire web had ever praised their school’s dormitories.
But Ke Lai thought about the place Jiang Ning used to live and felt relieved.
She said, “How many people are in your dorm? Are your roommates okay?”
“I live alone. I don’t have any roommates.”
“You got a single room?” Ke Lai was surprised. “That’s very nice.”
Jiang Ning fixed the screen to one side and continued to check on the sunflowers.
Ke Lai noticed her surroundings and asked doubtfully, “Is this your dormitory building?”
“Yes, this whole building is my dormitory,” Jiang Ning said faintly.
“A whole building? And you’re the only one living in it?” Ke Lai was surprised.
She imagined the scene in her mind and got goosebumps. “Aren’t you scared?”
“It’s okay,” Jiang Ning said. After she was done with the sunflowers, she unfroze the video and took it for a tour around.
“Wait,” the more Ke Lai looked, the more she felt something was wrong. “You’re fucking living in a villa for a dormitory?”
Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing.
The tuition was only thirty thousand star coins a year, and she was living in a villa.
Damn it!
This level of luxury, even King’s College couldn’t compare, right?
Ke Lai: “Is it too late for me to transfer and live with you now?”
“I’m afraid not,” Jiang Ning shook her head.
Of course, Ke Lai was just saying it and didn’t really want to transfer.
A brilliant money-making idea instantly came to her mind. She clapped her hands and said to Jiang Ning, “You can rent out your dormitory. Because of the poor dormitory environment at Semir Academy, many new students choose to rent a place outside every year.”
Ke Lai’s money-making brain never stopped. Jiang Ning carefully thought about her proposal.
There were many empty rooms in the villa, and she really couldn’t live in so many by herself.
So she casually took a photo of the house and posted it on Semir Academy’s internal forum that night.
【Little Jiang Loves Farming: Dormitory for rent, single room 1000 star coins, location: opposite Semir Plant Academy, limited quantity, girls only, private message if interested (photo attached).】
Jiang Ning closed the StarNet, got up, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
And the post she had put on the internal forum quickly attracted a large number of new students to watch.
The first to notice this message was Simon.
She recognized Jiang Ning’s ID name and took the initiative to private message her.
【Working Hard Today Too: Jiang Ning, are you renting out your dormitory? Has it been rented out?】
Jiang Ning came out after a shower and saw this message.
【Little Jiang Loves Farming: Still available.】
Simon stared at the screen nervously and finally received Jiang Ning’s message. She stated her intention.
【Working Hard Today Too: Can I rent it? I want to move in and live with you.】
【Little Jiang Loves Farming: Of course, you can.】
【Working Hard Today Too: Really? Thank you!】
Simon was overjoyed.
There were no explicit rules in Semir Academy that dormitories could not be rented out. And because it was perennially at the bottom, the ecology of the student dormitories was very poor. Not only was the management very lax, but no one would go to check the rooms either.
After Simon and Jiang Ning agreed to move in tomorrow, Jiang Ning opened the school forum again and checked her post.
There were twenty to thirty replies under the post in just half an hour. She scrolled down and saw that they were all shocked by the dormitory conditions.
【I’m the First to Run When Something Happens: Holy crap! Is this a new student dormitory? So nice?】
【Wind Man is the Handsomest: This is a new student dormitory? Then what’s mine? A pure prison style?】
【This Time It’s Definitely a Go: Alright, alright, the school is all about differential treatment, right?】
【Beauty’s Waist: Girls only? Is it too late to get a sex change now?】
When she opened her private messages, she hadn’t received any messages from anyone.
So she logged off the web, went upstairs, and prepared to sleep.
There were still a few days before classes officially started.
The next morning, Jiang Ning received a message from Simon saying that she had arrived at the Plant Academy.
She changed her clothes and went out to meet her.
Simon had a lot of things. Jiang Ning helped her move them into her dormitory.
“Wow! This place is so nice,” Simon said in shock as she walked around the house.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “The east side of the second floor is where I live. You can choose any of the other empty rooms to live in.”
“Okay, okay,” Simon nodded with a smile.
Simon went up to the second floor and looked around. “I want to live in the room next to yours.”
Due to her ability, her spirit had always been very sensitive. She felt an unprecedented sense of security from Jiang Ning. This feeling was very mysterious.
She didn’t know why, but she just wanted to be closer to Jiang Ning.
Before Jiang Ning could say yes.
An uninvited guest came in through the door.
A girl with long, straight black hair and a princess cut walked in.
Her face was so beautiful it didn’t seem real, but the expression on her face was one of extreme coldness. After she came in, she walked around the house without a word.
Jiang Ning and Simon both frowned at her.
“Excuse me…”
“This one, I’ll take it,” the girl said, stopping in front of the room Simon had just been looking at.
Only then did the two of them realize that she was here to look at the room.
“But I booked this one first,” Simon’s voice was weak, sounding completely without momentum.
“It’s mine now,” the girl glanced at her.
Jiang Ning stepped forward and said, “This room has already been booked by her. You can choose any of the other rooms. And it’s very rude of you to just come in like that.”
“You’re the one who posted it?” She crossed her arms and stood upstairs, looking down at Jiang Ning.
This unequal standing made Jiang Ning feel very uncomfortable.
She went up to the second floor, her gaze level with the other party’s. “It’s me.”
“Two thousand star coins, I want this room,” the girl said.
Jiang Ning was unmoved.
“Three thousand.”
Jiang Ning still did not react.
The girl thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and added another thousand. “Four thousand.”
Jiang Ning crossed her arms like her, leaned against the back of the door, and looked at her quietly.
“Don’t go too far. Even a house in the urban area of Red Star only costs 4000 star coins. How much more do you want?” the girl looked at Jiang Ning unhappily.
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow. “Classmate, you need to be clear. This place is in the school, the surrounding environment is beautiful, the dormitory is luxuriously decorated, and…”
Jiang Ning deliberately dragged out the last word.
“My asking price is only 1000 star coins.”
“Then what do you mean?” she frowned, puzzled.
“I think you should first learn how to respect others,” Jiang Ning said.
The girl’s pupils narrowed slightly, thinking that the money was still not enough. “Five thousand, that’s the most.”
Jiang Ning sighed imperceptibly. “I’m not planning to rent it to you. You should go back.”
She was now a person with a net worth of tens of millions. She was not short of these five thousand.
The girl took a deep look at the two of them and finally went downstairs and left.
After she left, Jiang Ning turned around and saw Simon staring at her with a moved expression.
“You’re so good to me, Jiang Ning,” Simon said with starry eyes.
“It’s not all for you,” Jiang Ning said truthfully. “Of course, you also need to find roommates with compatible personalities so that you won’t have conflicts when you live together.”
After that little episode, another two days passed. Until the official start of school, no one else had private messaged her about renting a room.
For the time being, only she and Simon lived in building A-02.
Last night, Simon’s department had sent out a notice, so she had gone to the psychic department to register early in the morning.
Jiang Ning slept until ten in the morning, opened her Star Brain, and there was not a single message.
Their plant department was like it was disconnected from the internet. No notice was sent at all.
Being idle, Jiang Ning planned to try her ability to summon plants again.
The patch of weeds in front of the plant department was not bad.
Jiang Ning picked up her machete and hoe and went down the mountain.
She put down her equipment near the lake and began to cut the grass and hoe the ground.
Red Star was not like Planet M412. Although the soil here was not high in nutrients, it was good that it could be planted.
After finally clearing out an area of more than ten meters.
Jiang Ning rested for a while and prepared to start experimenting with new plants.
Last time she had seen that they were growing chili peppers at Shi Shang Ju, she decided to try chili peppers first.
She clasped her hands together, mobilized her psychic energy, and imagined the appearance of chili peppers in her mind and heart at the same time.
Ten seconds later, a chili seedling fell to the ground.
Jiang Ning dug a hole nearby, buried it, and by the way, got some water from the lake and watered it thoroughly.
Then she continued to control her psychic energy and injected energy into the chili seedling.
The chili seedling quickly bloomed and bore chili peppers under the urging of the white energy.
The chili peppers turned from green to red, looking fuller and fuller to the naked eye.
It was not until the first chili pepper on the tree was fully mature that Jiang Ning stopped.
She carefully picked the chili pepper from the tree and looked at it carefully in her hand.
Just as she was about to understand it further, a scorching heat came from her hand, so hot that she quickly threw the chili pepper in her hand away.
The chili pepper landed in the weeds, and an explosion sounded.
The weeds within a radius of several dozen meters were instantly ignited by the burning flames.
In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky.
“!”
Realizing that there was a problem, Jiang Ning quickly called the teacher who had handled her enrollment that day and, after informing him of the situation, picked up the basin she had brought, scooped water from the lake, and threw it at the flames.
But this little bit of water was simply a drop in the bucket for the fire in front of her.
The fire quickly spread along the surrounding weeds.
Seeing that it was about to get out of control, three figures flew over from the sky.
Two women and one man. She had seen the person in front before; it was the teacher who had handled her enrollment. Jiang Ning did not know the two people behind.
Another woman with fiery red hair, who looked very energetic, shouted loudly, “Fire, stop.”
As her voice fell, the surrounding fire was actually extinguished.
The three of them stopped in front of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning, whose face was a little black from the smoke and looked very disheveled, immediately bowed and apologized, “Teacher, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
The imagined scolding did not come.
The woman with fiery red hair laughed heartily at the man next to her. “Old Zhou, it seems that the destructive power of your plant department is no less than our fire department!”
Jiang Ning secretly glanced at the man.
But she was glared back at by the man called Old Zhou.
Knowing that she had made a mistake, Jiang Ning pursed her lips.
On the first day of school, she had left a ‘deep impression’ on the teacher. Jiang Ning, who had been a good student for more than ten years, felt very frustrated!
