“No, no! This is definitely not happening!” Huang Xujie thought as he shook his head desperately.
“Brother Huang, I can’t pull them over!” The member of the Rock-Climbing Club returned to the club’s booth and said, aggrieved.
“Useless!” Huang Xujie shouted but immediately settled his mind. “But I don’t blame you. Those people are actors. Hao Ren must have paid them to draw everyone’s attention.”
“Oh! That’s it! Brother Huang is clever!” The member of the Rock-Climbing Club showed an admiring expression.
“Like these kinds of clubs, no one will join unless they put on a show. That is to let the passing students see that people are joining. Only a filled name list on the registration booklet will push other students to join. These small tricks cannot fool me,” Huang Xujie continued.
“Right, right, right! That’s it!” The members of the Rock-Climbing Club nodded in agreement.
They saw that Hao Ren had received thousands of yuan in the blink of an eye and got a little jealous. Once they heard Huang Xujie’s explanation, they all relaxed. “This must be the Calligraphy Club’s self-produced tricks, and we almost fell for them,” they thought.
Other clubs were also desperately trying to pull over new students, and they were all paying attention to Calligraphy Club. When they heard Huang Xujie’s analysis, they believed that the Calligraphy Club was playing tricks and gradually relaxed.
It was lunchtime, and the number of students had gradually increased in the open space in front of the Green Hill Cafeteria
“Sister, over there!”
Two other girls came to Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club.
“Entrance fee is 500!” Zhou Liren shouted before they approached.
The two girls glanced at Zhou Liren, went to Hao Ren, and handed over 1,000-yuan before filling in their names on the booklet.
Zhou Liren ground his teeth, and he didn’t know why these girls weren’t scared away by the entrance fee. “Is it really for Hao Ren’s charm?” he thought.
The female dragon cultivators had great figures and skin due to training, and the majority of the dragon cultivators in East Ocean University were females since the male cultivators who were first in line for inheritance had to cultivate in the ancestor halls and their bases.
In fact, from the perspective of these young cultivators, they would want to join an organization to obtain protection and a network in the city.
On the one hand, they had to adapt to modern life. On the other, they wanted to establish connections with other dragon cultivators.
However, no cultivator in East Ocean University had enough charisma and influence to gather all the cultivators; even the few Dui-level cultivators could not do it. This new organization allowed the young cultivators to unite and become one group.
“Brother Hao, please look after us,” the two female cultivators said to Hao Ren after filling in their names.
“Haha, sure,” Hao Ren said with a smile.
The two female cultivators smiled and walked into the cafeteria side by side.
Zhou Liren looked at the two beautiful girls, and he was crying inside. He was already in the third year, but he still didn’t have a girlfriend.
He turned and looked at Hao Ren. In just less than half an hour, four beautiful girls already joined!
He reached for the registration booklet and saw that the first girl was in first-year, the second was a fourth-year, and the two who just signed up were a first-year student and second-year student.
“A fourth-year student! Why would she join a club when she is about to graduate? What’s going on?” he thought.
“Don’t look!” Hao Ren put away the booklet in a hurry. According to Zhou Liren’s personality, he might sneakily write down the girls’ phone numbers.
However, these girls were not the kind that Zhou Liren could mess with.
“Brother Ren! Brother Ren!” Zhou Liren begged as he stuck to Hao Ren and put his fists together on his chest. “Let me join the Calligraphy Club. We are brothers, so I don’t have to pay for it, right?”
Hearing Zhou Liren’s words, Gu Jiadong and the other guys were also tempted. The Mechatronic Engineering Program didn’t have many girls, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lili obviously were not the ones who they could catch up with.
Several beautiful girls joined Hao Ren’s club in just 20 minutes; it was the perfect opportunity!
Hao Ren saw Zhou Liren’s peevish look and felt goosebumps all over his body. He immediately shook his head. “Not accepted!”
“Brother Ren…” Zhou Liren begged. “I will do your chores for free, and I will do all the errands in the club. How’s that!”
“No, no!” Hao Ren shook his head repeatedly. Seeing Zhou Liren still hanging around, he asked, “Do you know how to write with an ink brush?”
“I am very interested in calligraphy! I can practice!” Zhou Liren said with an incomparably sincere attitude.
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and ignored Zhao Liren.
At this moment, five more students came over and signed up collectively. Hao Ren recognized one of them; he was a student who wanted to pull him into the secret club before. Back then, Hao Ren was not an inspector, but now he was respected.
Twenty-five 100-yuan bills entered Xie Yujia’s bag, and there were five more members on the list.
Yu Rong and the other guys were baffled. Were they cheating them of their money?
Standing a little further, Huang Xujie looked at Hao Ren coldly and thought, “Humph! You have got quite a few extra actors! Let’s see how many more you have!”
“Boss, that is…” The member beside Huang Xujie suddenly pointed at someone in the distance.
They saw a thin and tall guy going to Hao Ren’s desk, handing over 500 yuan, and then signing on Hao Ren’s booklet.
“Xu Minglin…” Huang Xujie opened his eyes wide.
There were two clubs in school which were qualified to take students into the wild. One was Huang Xujie’s Rock-Climbing Club, and the other was Xu Minglin’s Camping Club.
This Xu Minglin was a very remarkable person; it was said that he had practiced martial arts. He looked thin, but he could cut six red bricks with an empty hand, and Huang Xujie once saw Xu Minglin punching a hole in a big tree.
Why would such a character join Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club?
At this moment, a dozen more students lined up to join Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club!
Just when other clubs had to take the initiative to pull over students to their booth, Hao Ren’s simple table setup called for a long line!
An entrance fee of 500-yuan… These students did not even flinch!
Xie Yujia’s bag which was for collecting money soon packed up!
“Brother Huang! Brother!” A member of the Rock-Climbing Club ran over. “Xu Minglin disbanded the Camping Club and brought all the members over to the Calligraphy Club!”
“What!” Huang Xujie was so surprised that his opened mouth could fit two eggs.
He took a closer look. Weren’t those who lined up members of the Camping Club?
Further away, some students were walking over, some were approaching by bicycle, and some in small cars. Their goal was to join Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club!
First-year, second-year, third-year, fourth-year, and even graduate students were coming to join Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club!
Many students in line were well-known figures in the school, such as the Director of the School Radio Station, the Vice-Chairman of the Student’s Council, a fourth-year student who ran a flower shop near the school… In the blink of an eye, the number of people who signed up broke through 50!
Zhao Jiayi and the other guys stood up in vain and hid in the cafeteria. Although they were willing to gamble and lose, walking up-side-down in front of the cafeteria was still too shameful.
“Hell!” Huang Xujie saw a line of 50 to 60 people gathered in front of Hao Ren.
However, Hao Ren did not accept every student. Some of t
hem even offered to pay the fee, but Hao Ren still did not accept!
Some students were willing to pay 500-yuan to see what the Calligraphy Club had to offer, but Hao Ren would not accept the money when he saw that the students were not dragons. After all, the decision to accept club members was the President’s to make!
Each club had its criteria for selecting members; it was not free for all! If Hao Ren did not accept, there was no way around it.
This completely stupefied Huang Xujie! “How could he not accept members!” he thought.
Hao Ren’s list of members soon filled two pages!
Rumble… Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sunny sky.
All of a sudden, the sky turned dark.
A gust of wind started, and it seemed like a rainstorm was about to hit.
“Close! Close the booth!” Huang Xujie shouted.
If the rainstorm fell, the things they put on the table would be all wet. Other clubs had also collected things and went to the cafeteria to hide from the rain.
Rumble… A loud thunder cracked, and the raindrops fell quickly.
Hiding in the cafeteria, Huang Xujie was glad that this storm hit; it interrupted the Calligraphy Club’s momentum in recruiting new members!
Unexpectedly, under the sudden heavy rain, except for a few students who ran away from the line, the other students either held up umbrellas or waited in the rain.
A student in the front of the line rushed up to Hao Ren and Xie Yujia and took the initiative to hold an umbrella for them!
This dumbfounded all the club presidents who were standing in the cafeteria…
549 The Demon… Has Appeared?
Huang Xujie never imagined that Hao Ren would have such influence. To make such a scene, even Hao Ren’s dad, Hao Zhonghua, could not achieve this effect.
Lu Qi settled the members of the Go Club in the dining hall and saw that Hao Ren was still recruiting people, so he held up a big umbrella and went out to help.
This stunned Huang Xujie and the other presidents of clubs. Lu Qi, who was a proud Go genius, would hold the umbrella for Hao Ren?
“This Hao Ren… Who is he? He could effortlessly win the hearts of many people!” they thought.
Students… 100, 200, 300… The rainstorm continued, and the students were silently counting the number of people in the line to the Calligraphy Club through the floor-to-ceiling glass walls of the cafeteria.
The Calligraphy Club’s registration table had been moved to the shelter near the entrance of the cafeteria. There were so many students sheltering in the cafeteria that there was no place to sit. Therefore, Hao Ren did not move indoors to recruit members. Instead, he sat at the entrance of the cafeteria and sheltered Xie Yujia from the rain.
The students who were looking to register lined up along the floor-to-ceiling glass walls of the cafeteria, standing under the sloped roof.
Due to the strong wind, the raindrops still hit the students despite the roof, and they were all wet waist-down.
Despite the situation, no one had given up on registering!
Xie Yujia’s bag could not hold all the membership fees, so she had to change to a larger bag. Nearly 300 new members had brought in almost 150,000-yuan.
She did not care about the money, but she was secretly surprised.
“Gongzi! Gongzi!”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, holding two small umbrellas, appeared next to Hao Ren.
Initially, they held back from accompanying Hao Ren. But after watching TV for a while in their room, they finally couldn’t help but come over to check out Hao Ren’s recruiting situation.
“How come you’re here in the rain?” Hao Ren saw them and smiled.
“Staying in our room was boring,” Lu Linlin said as she got close to Hao Ren’s ear. ” Gongzi, this rain came too sudden. We sense a powerful aura nearby, and we are a little worried.”
Hao Ren released his spiritual senses but sensed nothing strange. He also felt like the rainstorm came too sudden, almost without any warning.
During their little conversation, a white umbrella appeared in the rain and fog.
“Su… Su Han…” The people standing in the cafeteria were a little surprised when they saw Su Han.
Su Han generally never left her office and rarely wandered on campus, let alone in the rainstorm.
Su Han, who was wearing a white blouse and a green dress, was approaching. Her brown sandals seemed to have no trace of water, revealing her white-jade-like feet.
When they saw Su Han coming over, the students in the line moved away slightly.
These dragons reacted to Su Han not because she was beautiful like a goddess; it was because they knew Su Han was a veteran inspector and a Qian-level master, which imposed invisible pressure on them.
Su Han was holding a white umbrella, and she came over and asked Hao Ren, “How is the situation?”
“We have received more than 300 members,” Hao Ren said.
“Eh,” Su Han nodded. “There should be a total of about 500. This year, there are about 200 new students.”
East Ocean City was a big city adjacent to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Every year, the dragon clans sent their young generations to study in East Ocean City. This year, the East Ocean Dragon Clan had almost wiped out the West Ocean Dragon Clan, and the morale was high. Therefore, more dragon cultivators were coming to study at East Ocean University than in previous years.
Also, because of Yuhuang Mountain, the East Ocean Dragon Clan befriended a lot of forces and signed agreements with many dragon clans. Therefore, these dragon clans had sent their younger generations to train in East Ocean City, and East Ocean University, which was under Lu Qing’s management, naturally became the preferred choice.
Su Han did not care about these young cultivators on the surface, but she was actually very familiar with the cultivator scene at East Ocean University.
“How can it be…”
The presidents of the clubs in the cafeteria were very surprised to see Su Han coming in in the rain. Everyone knew that the club supervisor was just an empty title, and they never interfered with club affairs.
“Who is this Hao Ren? How can he assemble so many students, have Lu Linlin and Lu Lili hold umbrellas on both sides, and get Su Han to visit personally?” A lot of questions were raised in people’s minds.
In the distance, there were still many students who were coming over.
At this moment, the rain was pouring straight down. Most of the students were looking for shelter, so this open space in front of the cafeteria had become the special recruiting venue for Hao Ren’s Calligraphy Club.
Such a scene made other clubs’ executives extremely jealous!
“Also, there is a powerful master near East Ocean University. Be careful,” Su Han reminded Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked at Su Han and finally understood that she came over in the rain for his protection.
With the realm of Su Han and the Lu sisters, they could detect even the minor movements near East Ocean University. Although Hao Ren had the inspector’s token from the Dragon God Shrine, he could only sense the inspectors in the area. For other situations, he had to use his spiritual senses.
The rainstorm continued, and the students came one batch after another.
Although the table had been moved to the entrance of the cafeteria, blocking most of the rain, the wind blew some of the raindrops onto Xie Yujia’s body.
Xie Yujia’s hair was a little wet, and her almost translucent skin appeared extraordinarily smooth in the rain. She did not look embarrassing but very charming instead.
“I never thought that Xie Yujia could be so beautiful,” Yu Rong lamented as he stood in the cafeteria
“Su Han is more beautiful!” Zhou Liren stared at Su Han and said. The scene of Su Han standing in the pouring ring was ridiculously beautiful.
“Lu Linlin and Lu Lili are super beautiful girls,” Gu Jiadong said. The Lu sisters were playful and cute while they stood beside Hao Ren.
Most of the students took shelter from the rain in the cafeteria which was jam-packed, and some were in a long line outside the cafeteria. Between them were the floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
The clubs’ executives standing inside the cafeteria watched the students pay and leave, and they thought, “They are like automatic money printing machines. Hao Ren is simply collecting a protection fee… How could it be like this!”
Little did they know that the threshold of 500-yuan set by Hao Ren was to stop ordinary students from joining the Calligraphy Club. Hao Ren’s club simply did not want regular students!
The dragon cultivators who were living in the mortal world would not be too poor no matter where they are from! Even the smallest dragon clan had accumulated a lot of wealth, which was equivalent to an aristocratic family!
Hao Ren’s club was going to be the richest club in East Ocean University!
Crack!
A lightning bolt dashed down from the sky.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the road behind the bulletin board on the west side of the cafeteria.
An oil paper umbrella and a purple wrap-around skirt.
“Hi, may I ask how to get to LingZhao Elementary School?”
The alluring voice sounded by Hao Ren’s ear along with the gradually disappearing rain.
550 Eternal Demon King
Bewitching!
When Hao Ren raised his head, this word rushed to his mind.
Wearing a Tang-style wrap-around skirt and holding an oil paper umbrella, this woman was very elegantly but had a unique charm.
However, this bewitching was not the tacky kind, but a shocking and unbelievable glamour.
It was as if the vixen goddess in ancient stories appeared in real life suddenly.
The grey rain clouds were the background of this glamorous woman, forming a stunning image.
As she slowly put away the oil paper umbrella, the rain gradually slowed down and stopped. The dark clouds parted, and the sun shone.
All the students in the cafeteria were stunned; no one had ever seen such a gorgeous woman before.
