I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 34 What a fuss

Since classes were starting at 1 p.m., Chen Yan didn't rush to leave after the morning classes ended. After having lunch in the cafeteria, he planned to go back to his dormitory to rest for an hour before heading directly to the teaching building in the afternoon.

Chen Yan had no intention of skipping class, mainly because he didn't know what he could do after skipping class.

Writing novels? You only need to spend an hour or two each night to finish your writing task; there's no need to skip class specifically to write.

Sleeping in late? Thanks to the special skills of [Efficient Sleep] and [Full of Energy], he was full of energy all day long and didn't feel tired at all.

Playing games? Chen Yan wasn't addicted to games; he only played occasionally to relax.

The most common reasons for college students to skip class are not addressed by Chen Yan, and since the teachers of these required courses are not very competent, they might as well just listen attentively in class.

On the contrary, Pan Yang and Qi Li both showed some surprise when they returned from the cafeteria at noon and saw him in the dormitory.

"Yan-ge, why didn't you go back to the dorm last night? Did you go out with your girlfriend?" Pan Yang asked first, a knowing smile on his face as he asked.

"No, I cleaned the room last night and stayed there."

"Ah, Yan-ge, you're living outside now." Pan Yang was a little surprised and casually said, "Then from now on, there will only be me, Dong-ge, and Qi-li in the dorm."

"It's not three people, it's the two of you." Shen Dong, lying on the bed, corrected himself, "I already picked out a house last night, and I can move out in two days at most."

After Shen Dong said this, the dormitory was quiet for about a second or two.

"No, you two have moved out!" Pan Yang pressed. "How are the house prices outside? If they're reasonable, I'll move out too. Living at school always feels like being locked up."

Pan Yang chose to live at school primarily because he wanted to experience communal living. After all, he had always been a day student since childhood, and now that he finally had the opportunity to live in a dormitory, he wanted to give it a try.

But less than a month into the semester, he realized that he had been too naive. Apart from being a bit more lively, communal living had almost no advantages.

Now, two of the four roommates have left, and the only one left is Qi Li, whom he hates the most...

Pan Yang dislikes Qi Li for two main reasons.

The first reason was that, in his opinion, Qi Li was a bit old-fashioned. Whenever he talked about trendy topics and novelties, Qi Li could never keep up, as if the two of them were ten years apart in age, separated by a generation gap.

On the other hand, Qi Li's hygiene habits are really bad. Not washing his hands after using the toilet is a minor issue. What really bothers Pan Yang is that sometimes Qi Li will put his shoes on and step onto the ladder to the bed.

And his and Qi Li's beds happened to be on the same side, sharing a ladder. Every time before getting into bed, Pan Yang had to wipe it clean.

If only the two of them were left in the dormitory, Pan Yang didn't think he could get along well with Qi Li, so he wanted to follow the example of the two "senior students" and move out.

"I earn four thousand yuan a month, and I can get a cheaper rent if I rent a smaller place."

Chen Yan didn't hide anything and quoted the price directly.

"Damn, that's so expensive. My monthly living expenses are only around five thousand. I can't even afford food if I rent a place." Four thousand was still a bit too high for Pan Yang, but he was still unwilling to give up and cast an expectant look at Shen Dong.

"Don't look at me like that. I might be living with my girlfriend in the future, and we'll rent a bigger place, which will cost a little over five thousand a month." "No way, none of you said anything when school started. So you're all rich guys, renting out rooms that cost four or five thousand a month without a second thought."

Pan Yang's voice rose a few octaves. He had originally thought he was from the wealthiest family in the entire dormitory, but it turned out his roommates were all richer than the last...

However, Pan Yang had not given up completely and looked at Chen Yan again.

"Yan-ge, how about we share an apartment? The rent is two thousand yuan each, so you can save some money. Now that you've all left, I really can't stay in the dorm anymore."

"I prefer some peace and quiet. Also, don't say anything more. You're not satisfied with living in a double room?" Chen Yan glanced at Qi Li, whose expression had darkened slightly, and then ended the conversation abruptly.

If we keep talking, we might start arguing.

……

When Qi Li heard Chen Yan and Shen Dong say they wanted to move out, he began to have doubts.

On one hand, these two had lived in the dorm for two years without moving out, but he and Pan Yang had only been there for less than a week when they both left without saying a word...

Even an ordinary person would feel uneasy if this happened to them, let alone someone like Qi Li who has a strong sense of self-respect and is emotionally sensitive.

Although they had only known each other for less than a week, he could sense that there was a slight barrier between himself and his three roommates.

This gap is not due to isolation, but rather to different upbringing and family backgrounds... Sometimes, when they talk about certain topics, Qi Li can't get a word in edgewise and can only pretend to understand and speak vaguely.

On the other hand, the costs are shared... In this high-temperature environment, the air conditioner is run for a long time every day, and the electricity bill alone is several hundred yuan per month.

Qi Li's family is not well-off. Their monthly living expenses are only a little over a thousand yuan. However, the cost of living in Hangzhou is not low. After considering all sorts of miscellaneous expenses each month, this amount of money is barely enough to make ends meet.

Now that the electricity bill has been reduced from being split among four people to being split among two, it's an additional burden for him.

But Qi Li couldn't say anything to the two "senior students." After all, it was their freedom to choose where they lived, and these two had helped him a lot in the past, so he couldn't blame them either.

But Pan Yang's words undoubtedly ignited the emotions that Qi Li had been suppressing.

What does it mean to say, "I simply can't live in the dorm anymore..."?

Qi Li knew very well that Pan Yang looked down on him to some extent, but he didn't expect the other party to show it so bluntly.

Pan Yang disliked him, yet he acted as if he thought highly of Pan Yang.

"Tch, what are you trying to prove if you don't have much money in your pocket? I can't even live in this dorm room..." Qi Li clicked his tongue twice and said sarcastically, "If you can't stand me, why don't you move out? Is it because you don't have enough money? I'm going to live here for four years. You're not going to live in this 'unlivable place' for four years, are you?"

"Damn it, Qi Li, what are you barking about here?" Pan Yang couldn't hold back either and retorted, "Did I say anything to you? You just followed along and got yelled at. Even if I'm broke, I'm still a million times better off than a poor country bumpkin like you."
