Seeing Wu Feng’s name on the phone, Bai Ze immediately answered the call.
Wu Feng shared the same desk with him in Numero Uno High School. The two had similar personalities, so they quickly became familiar with each other and could be considered good friends.
“Bai Ze, where are you? Didn’t we agree to celebrate Jiang Qingyue’s birthday together at noon?”
“If you don’t come, what am I supposed to do?”
On the other side of the phone, Wu Feng rebuked him with veiled criticism.
Bai Ze scratched his head. Today, he finally unlocked the system that had been bound to him for eleven years. He was so happy that he had forgotten about this matter.
If Wu Feng hadn’t mentioned it, he would have already gone home.
It was only now that he remembered that today was the birthday of his childhood sweetheart, Jiang Qingyue.
“What’s the hurry? I’ll be there in a moment. ”
After ending the phone call, Bai Ze suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He could ask Jiang Qingyue for help to solve his money woes now. That girl’s family was very well-off, and their real estate value was more than ten million.
Maybe he could borrow money from her.
Right now, Bai Ze couldn’t care so much anymore. If he lacked the nourishment of precious treasures for a long time, his strength would never be able to increase!
Thinking of this, Bai Ze immediately walked toward the apartment building.
At 11 am, inside Maplewood City’s only riverside villa district.
A lively birthday party was in full swing.
The three-story villa was luxurious, and the parking lots outside were full of famous luxury cars.
The star of this birthday celebration was Jiang Qingyue. Not only were her parents’ friends and connected acquaintances here to celebrate her birthday, there were also many other high school classmates who were of high status.
Bai Ze’s figure seemed very inconspicuous in the midst of these people.
He was sitting in a corner with Wu Feng, looking at Jiang Qingyue, who was socializing with her parents not far away.
Jiang Qingyue was wearing a spaghetti strap long white dress today. Her long hair was scattered over her shoulders, and with her exquisite, prominent facial features, she exuded a kind of fairy-like aura.
The pink waist belt revealed her beautiful figure. The lines of her collarbones and neck were very elegant. Although she had only put on light makeup today, she still stood out among all the other girls.
After a while, Jiang Qingyue came to the side living room where she received her classmates. At this moment, those classmates who were close to her came up to give her gifts individually.
There were many expensive watches, bags, and other luxury items among the gifts. There were also many branded clothes, jewelry, and precious stones.
They were almost piled up into a small mountain.
There was a faint smile on Jiang Qingyue’s face as she greeted them with respect, but her expression revealed that she didn’t really care for such gifts.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to be looking forward to something.
“Bai Ze, what gift did you prepare for Jiang Qingyue? I think she’s waiting for you to appear.”
Wu Feng immediately shook Bai Ze’s shoulder and asked curiously.
Bai Ze grinned and then took out a slightly wrinkled notebook.
“This is what I’ve prepared for Jiang Qingyue. She will definitely like it.”
As he spoke, Bai Ze stood up from his chair and quickly walked towards Jiang Qingyue, who was surrounded by countless girls groveling around her.
Jiang Qingyue was talking to the girls around her at this moment, but she noticed Bai Ze’s presence at a glance.
She pushed away the girls beside her without hesitation, and the two of them came to the center of the side hall.
“Where have you been hiding? Did you just arrive?”
Jiang Qingyue’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of slyness as she pretended to be a little unhappy.
Bai Ze still had a comfortable smile on his face. He pointed in Wu Feng’s direction and explained softly, “I saw that you were so busy just now, so I didn’t have the heart to interrupt you. Today is your birthday. I wish you a Happy Birthday and a perfect score for the cultural studies in the next mock exam.”
As he spoke, Bai Ze immediately took out the notes he had copied at noon and handed them to Jiang Qingyue with a solemn expression.
The surrounding people immediately turned their attention to it, only to find that it was not a precious item. It was just an old notebook.
When the people nearby saw that Bai Ze actually gave such an item as a birthday gift, they immediately jeered at him.
“Are you trying to send off a beggar? You are giving something like that to Jiang Qingyue on her birthday?”
“At the very least, you should give her a limited edition notebook. The paper quality is too poor.”
A chorus of dissatisfaction and ridicule rose around him.
However, not only was Jiang Qingyue not angry, she accepted it with a smile.
She lowered her head and looked at Bai Ze’s precise and unique handwriting, then hugged it in her arms like a treasure.
The onlookers could not help but open their mouths in surprise. They immediately began to speculate about the relationship between the two.
“Ahem, Qingyue, you must have misunderstood. I gave you my notebook as collateral to borrow money from you. Isn’t the mock exam coming up soon?”
“I had my eyes on a magic staff yesterday, which was very effective. It’s just that I’ve been a little tight on money recently, so I wanted to borrow some money from you to help me tide over this period.”
Bai Ze blinked, and the smile on his face grew wider.
When the people around them heard this, they stared at Bai Ze with wide-open eyes.
“Is there something wrong with this person? No one wants this lousy notebook even if it’s given to them for free, yet he still wants to borrow money using that as collateral?”
“Fuck, he’s so poor that he’s going crazy. He came all the way to Jiang Qingyue’s house to borrow money, and he’s even doing it during her birthday party. He has no common sense at all!”
The crowd reacted strongly,
Even the intelligent Jiang Qingyue was stunned. However, she quickly recovered and said with a smile, “Sure. Based on the value of this notebook, I am the one getting a good deal.”
“But I have to make it clear that this money is not a loan. After all, I have been using your cultural studies notes before. Consider it my private tuition fee for you.”
“Alright, thank you for your generosity, Ms. Jiang. I’ll accept your offer.”
Jiang Qingyue’s beautiful eyes glared at Bai Ze, and she smiled. “Don’t be cheeky. Let’s eat the cake together. ”
Jiang Qingyue pulled Bai Ze away. The people around them widened their eyes in disbelief at what had just happened.
The talented, beautiful Jiang Qingyue, the youngest fourth ring mage in Numero Uno High School, was so nice to Bai Ze, someone with no magic power.
At this moment, Wu Feng, sitting not far away, also secretly gave a thumbs up.
He thought inwardly that his Brother Bai certainly lived up to his expectations. He was the expert when it came to living off a woman.
The afternoon birthday party ended at 1:30 pm.
Bai Ze bade farewell to Jiang Qingyue and left the villa district. He hurried back to the black market not far from the apartment building.
He entered a second-hand magic staff specialty store.
Bai Ze began to choose a suitable staff.
The reason he promised to pay back the money after the mock exam was that he wanted to get good results in this mock exam.
The rewards for the top ten students in the mock exam were very generous, starting from a minimum of ten thousand bucks.
However, it was very tough to enter the top ten. Without a good magic staff, it would be very difficult to make it to the end.
With Jiang Qingyue’s help, Bai Ze’s bank account balance had broken the 5,000 mark.
He could even afford a staff with decent effects.
The owner, wearing a leather jacket with his bald head exposed, immediately stood up from his chair.
“Little buddy, what kind of staff do you want to buy? I have a lot of good stuff in my shop,” he asked Bai Ze eagerly.
Bai Ze looked at the boss’s bald head and couldn’t resist mocking silently in his heart. Is the price of opening a second-hand shop in the black market a completely bald head?
