Chapter 120: Heavy-handed With a Soft Heart
“What of the rest of you? Where is your resolve?”
Wang Qi gave everyone a cold smile as he looked around. The usually noisy mess hall was now silent as a grave.
No one spoke; no one replied.
Wu Fan regarded his fearful schoolmates and lost all interest in lingering. He pushed Wu Fan aside and left the mess hall with books under his arm.
Outside, it came to Wang Qi he hadn’t eaten. He rubbed his belly, grumbling, “That’s why I hate underachievers…”
For a split second, he considered going back in to eat, but he quelled that thought the moment it came. [You kiddin’? The badass way I left is gonna turn into a joke if I go back now! My image as a bookworm will be ruined.]
Since eating was out, reading would have to do. With that thought in mind, Wang Qi went to the library.
The library was awesome. One thing he liked the most was the limitless supply of paper. Cultivating in the modern system used a whole lot of paper. Seeking one’s path was impossible without extensive and elaborate calculations and writing. It just so happened that Immortal Institute didn’t have Earth’s advantage of people-oriented schools with kiosks to make it more convenient. Wanna go shopping? Run for half an hour to Argent Apex, and that’s done with movement arts too.
Wang Qi heard hasty footsteps approaching from behind. He looked back to find Wu Shiqin following him.
