Chapter 61: Meeting Xiao Qinglan Again
After a night of cultivation, Xiao Qingyang woke up from his meditation to find that it was already bright outside.
He quickly checked his body and discovered that he had already assimilated one-tenth of the Enhancement (strengthening) Pill. His physical constitution had greatly improved, although he hadn't reached the C level yet. With a few more days of assimilation, he should be able to enter the C level.
Once he completely assimilated and absorbed the entire Enhancement Pill, his physique should be able to reach the B level.
B level was considered an intermediate rank at the Royal Military Academy. Although it wasn't outstanding, it was still much stronger than an ordinary person.
Xiao Qingyang was quite satisfied with this result. It seemed that the Enhancement Pill really did enhance his physical constitution at a faster rate than the Strength enhancement Potion.
Feeling refreshed after washing up, Xiao Qingyang opened the bedroom door and noticed that his roommates had already finished preparing and were getting ready to report to their respective academies.
"Qingyang, do you know how to use the campus flying cars? Otherwise, I can give you a ride. It saves you from running to the classroom," Xu Kaiyang joked.
Xiao Qingyang:...
Obviously, his walking to the dormitory building yesterday wouldn't be forgotten by everyone anytime soon.
"In that case, thank you," Xiao Qingyang replied with a smile, not showing any annoyance.
It was a good opportunity to learn how to drive the campus flying car so that he could rely on himself in the future.
"Then let's go first." Xu Kaiyang waved to the other two roommates, bidding them farewell.
The campus flying cars were specifically provided for students to commute within the campus. They could only be driven within the school area and were not allowed outside the school. There were designated parking lots on the campus as well.
There were several such parking lots in the student dormitory area. Xu Kaiyang led Xiao Qingyang to the nearest one and used the badge they received during enrollment to swipe a car.
"Huh?" Xiao Qingyang looked at Xu Kaiyang swiping the car and couldn't help but be surprised.
He originally thought that the badge only had the function of activating teleportation arrays. He didn't expect that it could also be used to swipe the campus flying cars.
Seeing his expression, Xu Kaiyang chuckled and said, holding the badge, "This badge has various uses. It's basically an all-purpose card for the campus. You can swipe it for almost anything. Each function has its own section, so you won't mix them up, and it can't be stolen by others. It's quite convenient, but if you lose it, it will be a big trouble."
Xiao Qingyang agreed with this point, nodding and saying, "Mhmm, I see."
"Alright, let's go." Xu Kaiyang opened the door of the flying car and took the driver's seat, while Xiao Qingyang sat in the passenger seat.
"Would you like to activate the autopilot mode?" the intelligent assistant inside the car asked.
"Yes, please." Xu Kaiyang responded, then turned to explain to Xiao Qingyang, "Our campus flying cars have two modes. If you want to experience the feeling of driving yourself, choose manual mode. If you don't feel like driving, just go for autopilot."
"Mhmm," Xiao Qingyang listened attentively and remembered everything.
There was still so much for him to learn about this world.
"Please enter the destination," the car's intelligent system continued.
"The Pharmacist Building," Xu Kaiyang replied.
The Pharmacist Building was where the students of the Pharmacist major attended classes.
"Please fasten your seat belts. The campus flying car will start soon," the intelligent system reminded, showing its user-friendly nature.
Once both of them fastened their seat belts, the car started automatically and flew towards the Pharmacist Building.
Since they were driving within the campus, the speed naturally couldn't compare to that of cars outside, but it was much faster than walking.
"So, how does it feel to ride in a car compared to walking?" Xu Kaiyang couldn't help but tease Xiao Qingyang.
Xiao Qingyang glanced at him calmly and retorted, "You can try it yourself and find out."
"Hehe, I'd better pass on that," Xu Kaiyang replied casually.
In just ten minutes, the Pharmacist Building appeared in Xiao Qingyang's sight.
Although they had only traveled for ten minutes, Xiao Qingyang was still shocked by the size of the Royal Military Academy. Without any other reason, it was because he hardly saw any other academic buildings from their dormitory building to the Pharmacist Building.
What did this imply?
It meant that the teaching buildings of other academies were even farther away.
Truly deserving to be the empire's top academy, right?
"You pharmacists are lucky. Even your teaching building is located closest to the dormitory building," Xu Kaiyang said with envy.
Pharmacists are precious and scarce in the empire. Moreover, pharmacists possess powerful spiritual abilities but weaker physical constitutions. To take care of these pharmacists, the Pharmacist Building is located closest to the dormitory building among all the teaching buildings.
This way, pharmacists can conserve their physical energy to reach the teaching building.
There are many such welfare measures in place.
"I've arrived. See you in the afternoon," Xiao Qingyang waved goodbye to Xu Kaiyang.
"Good luck, study hard! I'm looking forward to you concocting medicine for me," Xu Kaiyang shouted from the car.
The Pharmacist Building is the highest and largest main building of the School of Spiritual Medicine, located in the center of the academy, where students attend classes regularly.
To the left of the Pharmacist Building is the experimental building of the academy, where students can independently practice alchemy.
However, using the laboratory requires rental, and different levels of potions correspond to specific grade-level laboratories, each with different rental fees.
After all, the process of alchemy is dangerous. If the laboratory facilities and strength are inadequate, students might blow things up.
In addition to these two main buildings, there are several scattered smaller buildings around, and to the right of the Pharmacist Building lies a large area dedicated to spiritual plants.
Although the number of students in the School of Spiritual Medicine is not large, the consumption of spiritual plants on a daily basis is considerable. To save costs and provide students with practical training, the School of Spiritual Medicine has its own spiritual plant field.
Xiao Qingyang observed all of this from the flying car, looking down. Just one School of Spiritual Medicine occupied such a vast area. If other academies were similar, it would be enough to show how large the Royal Military Academy is.
Perhaps, this entire planet belongs to the Royal Military Academy.
As Xiao Qingyang familiarized himself with the surroundings, he headed towards the Pharmacist Building.
The classrooms for freshmen were on the first floor, so he didn't have to climb any stairs, which made Xiao Qingyang quite satisfied.
According to the class assignment list, Xiao Qingyang stood at the entrance of the classroom, feeling a bit nervous and excited.
He had never attended school before. Although their world also had so-called cultivation academies, he was young at the time, and both his parents were formidable. Even the teachers in the academy couldn't match his father's level, so there was no need for him to attend a school.
Therefore, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he set foot in a school.
He had yearned for the academy before, not for the school's resources, but because there would be many people his age in the school.
Xiao Qingyang had been brought along by his parents since he was young, traveled to many places, and met many people. However, he rarely had the opportunity to make good friends of the same age. Coupled with his parents' inclination towards seclusion, although he also enjoyed it, he still held a small expectation in his heart to befriend people his age.
Now, he could finally fulfill this small dream.
As Xiao Qingyang stepped into the classroom, the previously bustling room suddenly fell silent for a moment before erupting into even louder noise.
"Who is this? He looks really good-looking," a girl exclaimed, her eyes shining, to her friend beside her.
"He entered our classroom. Is he also our classmate? How come I've never seen him before?"
"He looks so good-looking. I wonder how high his spiritual power is. If he's also a genius, then he's truly a winner in life."
"Yeah, I really want to ask him for his contact information."
The girls in the classroom couldn't help but swoon and make infatuated expressions upon seeing Xiao Qingyang, and even some of the boys couldn't help but shift their gaze towards him.
Xiao Qinglan, who had always been the center of attention and received praise and flattery from everyone, suddenly felt the surrounding people's attention shift away from him, and he couldn't help but feel a bit displeased.
At this moment, a girl next to him pushed her shoulder without giving her any sign and pointed towards the entrance of the classroom, saying, "A Lan, isn't that your useless brother?"
Xiao Qinglan was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing someone mention Xiao Qingyang, her anger rose even higher.
"Are you blind or have your brains gone bad? How could that waste possibly be here..." Xiao Qinglan's voice wasn't loud enough for others to hear. After all, she still needed to maintain her goddess image. However, as she looked up at a familiar figure walking into the classroom, she could no longer hold up the facade.
"How could you, a useless person, be here?" Xiao Qinglan could hardly believe what she was seeing. If she hadn't taken notice of Xiao Qingyang on the day of enrollment, she wouldn't have paid much attention. But now, seeing him in the classroom, she couldn't ignore it anymore.
What on earth was going on? How could this waste be here in the Pharmacist Building?
Xiao Qinglan, overwhelmed by her sudden encounter with Xiao Qingyang, blurted out her words due to her intense emotions. When she realized that her classmates were all looking towards her, she felt an even stronger hatred towards Xiao Qingyang. However, she quickly composed her expression, pretending to be surprised, and said, "The School of Arts isn't here. Are you sure you haven't walked into the wrong place?"
"A Lan, who is this person? Do you know him?" one of the girls, who had been previously infatuated with Xiao Qingyang, couldn't help but ask.
"He, he is my brother, Xiao Qingyang. He was admitted to the School of Spiritual Medicine, but he has always had an interest in alchemy. Unfortunately, his spiritual power is only at the F level. I guess he just wanted to come and see us in class," Xiao Qinglan said with a light laugh. In her eyes, there was a mix of disdain and contempt, but her outward facade remained intact, unnoticed by others.
As soon as the others heard Xiao Qingyang's name, they fell silent, including the girls who had been infatuated with him earlier.
Not for any other reason, but because this name was well-known.
The Xiao family had a useless son with a physique and spiritual power inferior to that of an ordinary person. This was no secret, and anyone with a bit of a background had heard of it. Since most of the students in the Pharmacist department came from influential families, it was not surprising that they knew about Xiao Qingyang.
However, they had only heard his name before and had never seen him in person. Today, upon seeing him, they realized that he was completely different from what they had imagined, except for one unfortunate fact—he had no spiritual power.
Many people felt pity for Xiao Qingyang, especially the girls.
However, the reaction of the boys was different, especially those who were fond of Xiao Qinglan and eager to impress her. They were not as polite when speaking to Xiao Qingyang.
