Silicon Invasion

The food in the cafeteria didn't disappoint Luo Rui. Even just browsing the first floor gave Luo Rui a bout of choice paralysis. With so much delicious food, it seemed he wouldn't have to suffer when replenishing his energy points in the future.

Moreover, the food was cheap and plentiful. Even if Luo Rui ate his fill, it wouldn't take up too much of his 'chasing girls' fund.

Perhaps because many students woke up late and skipped breakfast, the cafeteria at noon was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. Everyone was either lining up to get food or looking up at the menu. Luo Rui felt that even if he was slightly famous, probably no one would notice him.

He first ordered a chicken cutlet rice, then bought a few grilled sausages. On the way back to his table, he bought a few 'big troubles,' mainly because he didn't have to queue for those.

His three roommates were well aware of Luo Rui's appetite, so they weren't surprised at all that Luo Rui brought back so much food.

With them as cover, even if the table was full, it wouldn't be too conspicuous.

The chicken cutlet rice tasted pretty good. Luo Rui ate the delicious food while scanning his surroundings.

There was no other way. This morning's classes had shown Luo Rui the scarcity of resources within the department. The Mecha Pilot major had extra physical requirements, and the gender difference wasn't significant. Under these circumstances, the girls who could get in were naturally rare.

After realizing this, Luo Rui felt that his life's important matter could only be achieved outside of the department.

Now that he took a closer look, he realized that the resources here weren't as scarce as he had imagined. Among the people lining up for food, there were quite a few eye-catching young ladies, and they were better at showing off their excellent qualities than high school girls.

"Tsk, tsk, Little Brother, stop looking and eat your food," Zhou Tiantian, who sat across from him, was one who never worried about making things worse. Seeing Luo Rui glancing around, he smacked his lips and joked.

Luo Rui's face turned red. He hadn't developed thick skin yet and still felt a sense of shame. After being called out, he hurriedly buried his head in his food.

"Although there are many beautiful women in our school, there are even more hungry wolves waiting to be fed. It's not easy to stand out from the crowd," Zhou Tiantian said, shaking his head. "But your Third Brother has a unique secret method that he can pass on to you, guaranteeing that you can pick whichever flower you want from the garden."

Luo Rui rolled his eyes, unmoved. He knew that Zhou Tiantian was having another one of his episodes and was starting to brag again. Luo Rui already understood that after Zhou Tiantian adopted this posture, his words should be taken with a grain of salt and never taken to heart.

"What? Don't you believe me?" Zhou Tiantian was a little annoyed that Luo Rui had started to not cooperate with him after only half a day.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Luo Rui swallowed a mouthful of rice.

"Uh… This… I am a man destined to become a 'Flower Saint,' how could I…?"

"Alright, stop talking, we're eating!" Su Meng suddenly interrupted Zhou Tiantian's self-aggrandizement. The implication in his words almost made Luo Rui laugh out loud, but he managed to hold it back in time, otherwise 71.32 percent of the rice in his mouth would have sprayed onto Zhou Tiantian's face.

"You!" Zhou Tiantian was indignant, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Heh heh, for experience in this area, Little Brother, you can ask Second Brother. He's the real expert," Zhang Jiasheng, as the eldest of the dorm, always stepped in to smooth things over at crucial moments.

Luo Rui was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that Su Meng, who seemed like a chuunibyou, was so popular?

Su Meng looked up at Luo Rui and said coldly, "Everyone is brothers, so it's not impossible to pass it on to you. Listen carefully, my method is very simple: first, be cold; second, be cool." After speaking, he continued to bury his head in his food.

"That's it?" Luo Rui waited for a long time but didn't hear anything else. So this method was really simple. Su Meng was honest and easy to get along with…

My ass!

Seeming to sense Luo Rui's resentment, Su Meng swallowed the food in his mouth and continued, "Actually, there is also a profound truth. This is my unique secret, which I was going to save for my disciple. But since everyone is brothers, to avoid messing up the seniority, forget about becoming a disciple. Today, I will pass this profound truth on to you, but you must not pass it on to others without authorization in the future."

Looking at Su Meng's serious face, Luo Rui was a little taken aback. Although he might not necessarily need this so-called profound truth, Su Meng made it sound so mysterious that he felt a little itchy if he didn't hear the rest.

"Okay!" Luo Rui nodded solemnly.

"This profound truth is very dependent on talent. If your talent is not good, it is useless even if you know it," Su Meng continued to play coy.

"Then how is my talent?" Luo Rui quickly asked.

"Hmm…" Su Meng touched his chin and sized Luo Rui up and down, making Luo Rui feel uneasy, before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Your talent is okay. Learning the profound truth is not a problem."

"That's great, Second Brother, tell me quickly."

Su Meng was very satisfied that Luo Rui called him Second Brother for the first time. He leaned his head forward, then beckoned with his fingers, and Luo Rui cooperated by stretching his head over.

"This profound truth is: you have to be handsome!" Su Meng solemnly said the content of the profound truth, word by word.

Luo Rui was stunned and hadn't reacted yet when he heard Zhang Jiasheng and Zhou Tiantian burst out laughing. The sound was so loud that it even attracted curious glances from the next table.

Damn it!

He shouldn't have trusted these bastards; they ganged up to play him.

Luo Rui rolled his eyes, and his face darkened. He wasn't angry, though. He used to joke around like this a lot with Fatty.

"Heh heh, Little Brother, don't be angry. Brothers are just joking around," the eldest Zhang Jiasheng said with a smile.

His honest face was indeed deceptive. Luo Rui really believed in his evil and actually thought he was different from the other two…

"Don't be angry, Little Brother. Actually, what Second Brother said isn't false. The profound truth is indeed real, and it does require talent. Look at me, I belong to the type with poor talent. Even if I know the profound truth, I can't use it," Zhou Tiantian said, not hesitating to make fun of himself to liven up the atmosphere, as he watched Luo Rui's gloomy face.

"What you said makes a lot of sense," Luo Rui nodded.

"Damn! Are you playing me? You kid is an actor too!" Zhou Tiantian immediately reacted. A truly angry person wouldn't say that. He roared and pretended to pounce over, but unfortunately, there was a table in the middle, with a lot of food on it, so he could only pretend.

"Haha, you guys started it first," Luo Rui laughed heartily, feeling very happy. He found the feeling of playing with Fatty again. It was really lucky to have a group of like-minded roommates.

"Little Brother, don't worry. Students nowadays are all 'appearance-obsessed.' With your conditions, it's easy to get a girlfriend. But after all, you came in as an exception, and many people are watching. If you're not strong enough, you might be used as an example," After joking with each other for a while, the eldest Zhang Jiasheng suddenly said with a serious tone.
