With Laudenor's help, Qin Siyang moved into the school's guesthouse.
Pushing the door open and stepping inside, he saw a small bedroom, furnished with a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe. Opposite the bed was a bathroom, and on the balcony, there was even a stove.
Although it was only twenty square meters, it was still a very nice single room.
If he could live in a place like this after getting into Nanrong University, it wouldn't be too bad.
Qin Siyang asked, "Laudenor, can this guesthouse be rented long-term?"
Laudenor nodded, "Yes, two silver coins per day."
"Huh? Two silver coins per day?", Qin Siyang's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Laudenor.
"Your school isn't just educating people—it's running a robbery business on the side?"
"Mr. Qin, land prices in District 7 are very high, and our school has a limited number of guesthouse rooms. Even at two silver coins per day, demand still exceeds supply. This room is specifically reserved for faculty who need it. If my teacher wasn't about to be promoted to associate professor at the end of the month, you wouldn't have been able to stay here."
Hearing this, Qin Siyang drooped his eyebrows and let out a long sigh, "Alright, I get it. Thanks."
'Looks like Li Tianming was absolutely right. The rent in these high-ranked districts is practically the same as stuffing money into a sack.'
If he owned an apartment building in District 7, he'd never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of his life.
"Mr. Qin, I brought some food earlier. You can heat it up in the kitchen for dinner."
"I also packed breakfast for tomorrow. It's just some bread and milk—simple food."
Qin Siyang glanced at the food on the table and nodded in acknowledgment.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I'll come pick you up at the safe zone exit tomorrow morning."
"Alright, thanks for your help. You've been busy all day—go get some rest."
"No worries, it wasn't hard. Goodbye, Mr. Qin."
"Goodbye."
After Laudenor left, Qin Siyang opened the plastic bag.
He hadn't expected Laudenor to bring dishes like vinegar-soaked shredded potatoes, roast chicken, braised pork with preserved mustard greens, and tomato egg drop soup.
"Did he buy this from a Chinese restaurant?"
Seeing so many dishes he had only seen in his past life, Qin Siyang was utterly shocked.
He took a bite of each one—all familiar flavors.
His eyes turned red with emotion.
'It's not thousand-foot mushrooms, not blood-colored jellyfish, not three-winged flying fish… It's pork! It's chicken! It's potatoes! It's tomatoes!!'
"Finally, real human food!!"
He then looked at the breakfast in another plastic bag.
A bottle of fresh milk and two slices of toast.
"Oh my god, everything is normal food!"
Holding his chopsticks, his hands trembled with excitement.
'Life in District 7 is amazing!!'
At that moment, Qin Siyang made up his mind, 'No matter what, I have to get into a top-ranked university like this!'
"If only for the food, I have to pass the entrance exam."
He picked up the new phone Florence had given him and took a selfie for the memory.
But when he looked at the photo, he realized all the objects in it had been automatically labeled.
The note on the vinegar-soaked shredded potatoes read: [Plant Tuber].
The note on the roast chicken read: [Ordinary Poultry].
The note on the braised pork with preserved mustard greens read: [Preserved Vegetables and Four-Legged Livestock].
The note on the tomato egg drop soup read: [Herbaceous Fruit and Poultry Egg].
As for Qin Siyang himself, he was labeled: [Advanced Lifeform].
Looking at these labels, Qin Siyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
'Humans really do rank themselves as the noblest species.'
He also realized just how advanced this camera's recognition system was.
Even with the food cooked, it could still identify each component correctly. If it worked this well for divine creatures, there probably wouldn't be much error either.
"Florence really gave me a good item."
After browsing some posts in [Godslayer Camp] about commonly used legal provisions, he went to take a shower and prepared to rest.
Despite traveling these past few days without driving, despite having a Sequences-enhanced body, despite not having done anything strenuous, he still felt exhausted.
Tomorrow, he was going to hunt a god. He had to conserve his energy.
After his shower, he went straight to bed.
It was past nine at night, and the lights embedded in the city's anti-air glass had all gone out. Even though there was no sun in the sky, District 7 still simulated the cycle of day and night.
Qin Siyang sighed at this marvel before drifting into sleep.
'Hopefully, tomorrow will be a fruitful day…'

[Blue Star Calendar: February 9, 2010]
[Western Calendar: Tuesday]
[Lunar Calendar: Ji-Chou Year, the fifteenth day of the tenth lunar month, Auspicious for Wealth Acquisition]
When Qin Siyang saw [Auspicious for Wealth Acquisition], his eyes instantly lit up.
'Today is definitely going to be a lucky day.'
With a swift roll, he leaped out of bed.
After having the most delicious breakfast of this life, he put on his Cyan Striped Armor and waited for Laudenor's arrival.
Laudenor was also up early and sent a text to confirm Qin Siyang was awake before arriving shortly to knock on his door.
"Good morning, Mr. Qin."
"Morning."
"Mr. Qin, I noticed you didn't bring a backpack, so I bought one for you. Try it on and see if it fits."
Laudenor was indeed very considerate.
No wonder Florence trusted him with the guest reception.
Qin Siyang put on the backpack and found it incredibly lightweight and comfortable. Even though it was firmly secured to his shoulders, it felt like he wasn't carrying anything at all.
"This is a great backpack!"
"As long as Mr. Qin likes it."
"Let's go, I can't wait to get to District 7's safe zone exit."
"Mr. Qin, there are dozens of safe zone exits in District 7. Which one do you want to go to?"
"The one with the lowest number."
"The lowest-numbered one is Safe Zone Exit No. 207."
"Huh? That high? I thought it would at least be a two-digit number."
"Only Sigma District and the even higher-ranked areas have two-digit exits. Sorry to disappoint you."
"No problem, 207 is fine. Let's go."
"Alright."
The two left the guesthouse building and saw a standard-looking sedan parked outside.
"Mr. Qin, get in. I'll take you to Exit No. 207."
"Alright."
Qin Siyang sat in the passenger seat, nodding frequently.
This was the life of the rich. One day, he'd live like this too.
But he didn't want to drive—he'd have to hire a chauffeur.
'Should I bring Afa over?'
After letting his imagination run wild for a moment, he snapped back to reality.
The special admissions test hadn't even started, and he hadn't figured out his own housing situation—he was already dreaming too big.
'No.'
'I have to stay grounded.'
Laudenor was fully focused while driving, likely worried about accidents.
Seeing this, Qin Siyang didn't speak to avoid disturbing him.
The two drove quietly down the streets until they reached a tunnel at the foot of a mountain, where they stopped.
"Mr. Qin, there's a bit of traffic on the way to the safe zone exit. Please bear with it."
Qin Siyang smiled on the surface and said, "No problem," but inwardly, he cursed: 'Why not take the bus? Why does everyone have to drive? Show-offs! Hmph.'
[T/N: I don't get, why the fu*k these dimwitted MC with cheats don't try to get 'THE' best in their fields? Like actual fu*k? Only 'a' top-ranked university? Not 'THE' top ranked university?]
