Evolving infinitely from ground zero

The next day, at noon 12 o'clock.

Lin Zichen brought out four dishes and a soup from the kitchen one after another, neatly placing them on the dining table, waiting for Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin to finish class and come back for lunch.

Yes, including Li Chuxin.

Just half an hour ago, Shen Qinghan had messaged Lin Zichen on WeChat, saying that Li Chuxin wanted to come over for lunch and asked if that was okay.

Lin Zichen happily agreed and then made the four dishes and soup on the table.

"Creak—"

When the time reached 12:08 p.m.

The dormitory door was pushed open.

Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin walked in from outside.

Li Chuxin had a pair of fuzzy purple beast ears on her head, which looked incredibly cute.

Half a month ago, she had successfully fused with an ordinary-level Shadow Night Cat gene and now was a lofty Genetic Integrator.

Because she thought Catgirl was very charming, as long as she went out, she would activate her Shadow Night Cat gene within her, sporting a pair of cat ears on her head.

"Why do you two have so many bags in your hands?"

Lin Zichen noticed that their hands were full of shopping bags and asked curiously.

Shen Qinghan replied, "We didn't buy them, these are gifts that Chu Xin brought from her home for both of us."

Lin Zichen: "Gifts?"

Li Chuxin smiled and said, "The fashion store at home just got a batch of new clothes a few days ago, and I saw that several couples' clothing sets seemed perfect for you and Han Han, so I brought them for you as a gift."

Lin Zichen: "Chu Xin, you are too polite."

"What are you being polite for, you two are my good friends, it's only right to give you gifts."

After that, Li Chuxin smiled again and said, "Besides, I am here to freeload a meal; how could I not bring a gift?"

"That's true."

Lin Zichen responded with a smile.

Li Chuxin took out the clothes and said to them, "I've washed all these clothes. You guys try them on to see if they fit."

They had even been washed specially, how considerate.

To have such a little sister like her, Han Han is really lucky in life...

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

Then, he and Shen Qinghan tried on the clothes together.

"Come on, you two strike a pose. I'll take a picture of you, and then I can use a photo of you two together as models for my online store, it's bound to sell like hotcakes."

Li Chuxin took out a camera from her schoolbag and said to them with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan teased, "Oh sister, so this is your grand plan. No wonder you came all the way here to give clothes to me and Zi Chen."

"Slander! Pure slander!"

Li Chuxin said with the camera in hand, "Giving clothes is the main thing, taking photos is just incidental."

After finishing, she added with a giggly smile, "Also, the food that your Zi Chen makes is too delicious; I couldn't resist coming over for a meal."

Shen Qinghan joked back, "But the food I make is also very delicious, why don't you freeload off me? Sister, that's really unfair!"

Li Chuxin: "Who says I won't freeload? From now on, I'll freeload off your meals every day, as long as you don't mind me eating too much."

Shen Qinghan: "I definitely won't mind. I will use my excellent cooking skills to fatten you up into a pig!"

Li Chuxin: "You're so evil! Fake sisters! I'm not talking to you for three seconds!"

They bantered back and forth, calling each other fake sisters, but in fact, they were very close friends.

After spending a few minutes taking photos.

Soon, all three of them were seated at the dining table for the meal.

Midway through eating.

Shen Qinghan complained to Lin Zichen, "Xiao Chen, on the way back to the dorm with Li Chuxin, we ran into a very mean senior sister."

"That senior sister, relying on her status as an upperclassman with stronger powers than new students, actually tried to snatch the shopping bags Li Chuxin and I were carrying; it was really bullying."

"If someone hadn't recognized me and said I was your girlfriend, I think she really would have robbed us."

"So arrogant?" Lin Zichen was surprised.

He knew that the school advocated the survival of the fittest, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous, outrageous enough that some upperclassmen dared to rob freshmen in broad daylight.

Was such a campus atmosphere really good for the students?

Unacceptable.

Seeing Lin Zichen's shocked expression, Li Chuxin explained, "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think. It's not like just any upperclassman dares to rob a freshman."

"That upperclasswoman was targeting me, seeing me as an easy target and constantly bullying me. Han Han was just dragged into it because of me."

"It's the same one I told you about before, the upperclasswoman who borrowed my makeup and never returned it."

Li Chuxin continued, "Zi Chen, you might not believe this, but the upperclasswoman who likes to pick on freshmen is actually part of the student association, specifically responsible for room inspections."

Lin Zichen: "Members of the student association bullying freshmen is indeed a bit too much."

Li Chuxin gave a wry smile and said, "What's even more outrageous is that they have the right to justify their actions, claiming that they are training the freshmen. We common class freshmen have nowhere to turn when we're being bullied."

Do freshmen at this school really have it so tough?

Lin Zichen found this somewhat surprising.

He usually stayed either in his dormitory or in the gym and seldom paid attention to these matters at the school.

Now, hearing Li Chuxin say this, he suddenly felt that the school's atmosphere was a bit too outlandish.

"That upperclasswoman who borrowed your makeup before, did she ever give it back to you in the end?"

Lin Zichen asked Li Chuxin.

Li Chuxin: "Return it my ass. Not only did that upperclasswoman not return my makeup, but she even came to my dorm last month and borrowed another piece of makeup, acting like my dorm is her makeup counter."

"This upperclasswoman is indeed going too far."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Zichen added, "This is what we'll do. In the afternoon, you take me to find that upperclasswoman, and I'll get justice for you."

Li Chuxin shook her head: "Forget it. She's part of the student association. It's better not to offend her."

In the beginning, she had thought about having Lin Zichen stand up for her.

But once she found out that the other party was part of the student association and even had a student association boyfriend with a bit of a title, she dismissed the idea.

Lin Zichen was undoubtedly strong, but no matter how strong he was, he was still just a freshman, with limited strength.

She didn't believe that Lin Zichen, still in his freshman growth phase, could contend with those in the student association.

However, Lin Zichen was much more confident than she had imagined, and he directly said to her, "No worries, let them be offended. Even if I offend the entire student association, I don't think anything will happen."

"I think these upperclassmen are bullying the freshmen too much, and it's about time they're dealt with."

"Anyway, I'll take care of this for you, you just need to lead the way when the time comes."

Offending the student association?

Lin Zichen really wasn't worried about that now.

Having achieved Second-stage Body Refinement Completion, he was confident that he was currently the number one student at Shan University.

And with such strength, it was time to be assertive. There was no need to tiptoe around.

Now that his friend was being bullied, it was time to take action.

That was the very meaning of possessing great strength.

"Zi Chen, I think we should let it be. If she wants to use the makeup, I'll just let her. Better to avoid trouble than to cause it. There's no need to make a big deal out of it."

Li Chuxin was chickening out, unwilling to do anything risky.

She was afraid that Lin Zichen wouldn't be able to handle the situation, and that his good intentions would backfire, resulting in the upperclasswoman bullying her even more severely.

Compared to her, the usually timid Qinghan was now the brave one.

Clenching Li Chuxin's hand, Qinghan said earnestly, "Trust in Xiao Chen's strength. He'll help you solve this smoothly."

She knew how strong Lin Zichen was, and that the mere student association stood no chance against him.

Eventually, convinced by Lin Zichen and Qinghan's assured persuasion, Li Chuxin agreed, "Alright then, at 4 PM, I'll take you guys to find her."
