Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 61 Man at the Top of the Food Chain_1

61: Chapter 61 Man at the Top of the Food Chain_1

61 -61 Man at the Top of the Food Chain_1

“Not interested!”

Lin Baici declined.

Is acting more appealing than being a God Hunter?

The profession is extremely dangerous, but the profits are high.

Xia Hongyao said that God Hunters can continuously enhance their bodies by absorbing energy from Meteorites, reaching the point where their flesh can withstand a nuclear explosion.

Improved immunity, not getting sick for years, 24 hours of gaming or watching videos without vision deterioration, eating without worry of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or gout…

Even a newbie God Hunter like Lin Baici already possesses a physique far stronger than that of an ordinary person.

“Uh…”

Lin Baici’s decisive answer left Feng Yi at a loss for words.

Most people, when offered the chance to act, would at least say they’d consider it even if they weren’t interested.

This guy, however, was downright forthright in his refusal.

“Then…

how about we add each other as friends?

There are some plays coming up at Haijing Theatre, and they’re rehearsing quite well.

You can check them out to improve your aesthetic appreciation and broaden your horizons.”

Feng Yi chuckled as he waved his cellphone.

If Lin Baici hadn’t been so strikingly outstanding, assuring a surefire profit if signed, Feng Yi would have walked away immediately.

Do you know how many people spend money trying to get into Haijing Theatre but can’t?

“No need, I’m not interested in plays!”

Lin Baici still refused.

“…”

Cai Zhiheng, speechless.

“…”

Tao Yun, speechless.

“…”

Feng Yi truly ran out of words this time.

He had his pride, and being rejected twice in a row was infuriating: “Fine then, Student Zhu, I wish you a future as bright as your prospects!”

After that, Feng Yi left promptly, not wanting to stay another minute.

“Damn, Lin Junior, you’ve got guts to pass up such a good opportunity?”

Cai Zhiheng was so shocked that he swore: “Do you know how many beautiful girls there are at Haijing Theatre, and how many luxury cars are parked outside every day?”

“Don’t you want a star girlfriend?”

Tao Yun was surprised.

“No, I don’t!”

Lin Baici subconsciously thought of the photos Kim Myungjin sent him every night with the caption ‘Can I see this without spending money?’

The beauty of the Goryeo girl surpassed that of current top female stars.

Right, Lin Baici remembered that Kim Myungjin mentioned her mother had a very famous entertainment company with many contracted trainees.

Those were idols in the making!

“I’m impressed!”

Cai Zhiheng felt Lin Baici must be from a small place and completely unaware of Haijing Theatre’s fame.

He would definitely regret it once he found out.

“You have guts.”

Tao Yun found Lin Baici to be someone he could get along with, not like other boys who racked their brains to get a girlfriend from Haijing Theatre.

After all, showing off such a partner is indeed very prestigious.

The nearby students had different thoughts after witnessing this scene.

The freshmen believed they would also wait for their own opportunities, while the seniors thought Lin Baici was a bit silly and cute.

He’s quite handsome, but he seems a bit lacking upstairs.

How many good opportunities come in life?

When you encounter one, you should try your best to seize it.

Haijing Polytechnic is good, but even a graduate from a hot major only makes about ten thousand yuan a month, at most twenty thousand.

Being a star is different.

A bit-part actor in a popular drama once disclosed that he was unemployed for nearly a year.

When he checked his account balance, he found he had only a little over a million left, which made him panic.

The rate at which stars earn money is truly fast, and it’s easy.

[Many nearby people think you’re an idiot, tsk, they simply do not understand what makes you special, you are a top predator on the food chain, Breaking Divine Ruins, feasting on God’s bones, is what you’re meant to do!]

[These lowly ants aren’t even worthy to grovel at your feet and sing praises of your great name!]

[In this city, there is the scent of a god!]

[Stop conversing with these insects, go rest up on the bus, and prepare for the hunt of a god.]

Eater God spoke a lot in one breath, and although the information overload was a bit much for Lin Baici, he noted the pointers on food chains and predators as mere jests.

But the line about the presence of a god in the city was quite frightening.

“To my knowledge, there are no Divine Ruins near Haijing or its surroundings, so where could a god come from?”

Lin Baici inquired.

Cities like Beijing, Haijing, and Guangdong Capital, all top-tier metropolises, have Jiuzhou Security Bureau branches with many Dragon Guards stationed.

If a Meteorite falls nearby and forms Divine Ruins, the Dragon Guards immediately spring into action, entering to explore, securing God’s bones, and preventing their spread.

Eater God was silent.

“In the end, what is a god?”

Lin Baici was curious.

Eater God didn’t answer.

It was as if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Baici didn’t mind, as he hadn’t expected an answer from Eater God anyway.

As for turning down an opportunity that might have made him an actor, Lin Baici couldn’t care less.

Not to mention whether that Hai Opera teacher was reliable or not, even if he was, how difficult would it be for Lin Baici to climb the ladder step by step once he’s given a chance?

The man couldn’t possibly have the power to arrange a major supporting role for him right from the start, could he?

There’s no need to even think about the lead role!

If there really was such an opportunity, why wouldn’t he promote his own people, whom he knows through and through?

Put simply, that teacher was akin to a talent scout; seeing that Lin Baici was handsome, he just cast a net to try his luck.

If Lin Baici became famous, the scout would make a profit, and if not, he wouldn’t lose anything.

If Lin Baici really wanted to become an actor, he’d be better off going to Kim Myungjin, who comes from a wealthy family owning their own entertainment company.

Money and connections!

“After all, I’m about to be an employee of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau earning an annual income of six hundred thousand yuan and 120 Meteorite Coins.

With such a high annual salary, dating my senior, playing games all night, sleeping in every morning until I wake up naturally, isn’t enjoying four beautiful years of university life a sweet deal?”

This was the life he could have right now, and Lin Baici was quite satisfied with it.

He definitely wouldn’t dive into the entertainment industry for a chance to possibly become a star.

When Lin Baici thought about this, he frowned slightly.

Although Xia Hongyao had made a promise to him, the decision was ultimately up to the director of the Security Bureau.

If the director didn’t agree…

No worries, I still have a one-million-yuan bonus.

Lin Baici took out his phone, opened the Origin Forum, logged into his account, and found the reward post he had answered that morning.

The original poster hadn’t replied yet.

It seemed he would have to wait a few more days.

One word for ten thousand yuan, the money comes easily, but the wait is torturous.

Lin Baici chatted with Cai Zhiheng and Tao Yun for over ten minutes, and then new students started to arrive.

With the two of them needing to attend to the newcomers, Lin Baici boarded the bus.

On the first row of the bus, on the left side by the window, there was a young teacher taking a nap; he was in charge of leading today’s group.

However, welcoming new students was such a simple task that it could be left to the students to handle.

Lin Baici found a seat near the middle, sat down, and continued to browse the forum.

The new students kept coming aboard, and after about half an hour, the bus was more than half full with nearly forty people, and it finally set off.

“Lin Junior, if you need anything, give me a call!”

Tao Yun shouted to Lin Baici.

“Okay, senior!”

Lin Baici waved back at Tao Yun.

As the bus left the train station, he looked out the window at the cityscape.

As expected of a metropolis, the roads were wide, and cars were everywhere.

Sports cars that couldn’t be seen in Guangqing would occasionally speed past.

Lin Baici couldn’t name them, but from their design, he knew they weren’t cheap.

The women on the street were dressed fashionably and boldly, and some were in business attire, exuding the sharp and efficient aura of urban female white-collar workers.

The vegetation in the green belts was lush, but the ground was almost free of fallen leaves and debris; the cleanliness of the environment was well-maintained, and sanitation workers could be seen busy at work.

Ding-dong!

A message came in on WeChat.

Little Merperson: Xiao Bai, have you arrived? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: I’m on the bus to the school.

Little Merperson: So annoying, the dean called me for a talk.

I might be delayed a bit before I can come to see you.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: If you’re busy, you don’t have to come over.

Little Merperson: No way, you just arrived in Haijing, and as your senior, I must take good care of you.

Don’t worry, if the dean is too long-winded, I’ll just slam the door and leave.

I don’t need that diploma or degree certificate.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: Don’t talk out of anger, also, he didn’t call you for anything serious, did he?

In Lin Baici’s view, being called to the office by a school leader generally wasn’t a good sign.

Little Merperson: No, according to the hints dropped by the counselor, it seems like the dean wants to use my internet celebrity status for some publicity around the school’s outstanding students.

Hua Yue Yu was annoyed because, since the dean himself was involved, she couldn’t refuse; otherwise, she would have come to Haijing Polytechnic to find Lin Baici earlier.

Little Merperson: Gotta go, see you later!

Then a cat waving goodbye emoji, very cute.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: See you later.

The driver, probably with thirty years of experience, drove the coach very fast.

However, when they reached Fu An Road, where Haijing Polytechnic was located, the speed slowed down.

Due to the multitude of parents sending their children, the street was congested with traffic, plus the waiting for traffic lights meant the bus took more than ten minutes just to get to the main gate.

Haijing Polytechnic’s main gate was quite imposing.

In front of the automatic gate was a large space with a huge feng shui rock engraved with the words “Haijing Polytechnic.”

The calligraphy was bold and striking.

The bus moved slowly along the main campus road and finally stopped in front of Building A.

In front of the building was a large square, where many banners were hung and over thirty tables were set up, bustling with new students and their parents.

“We’re here!”

The driver called out, opening the bus door.

The new students exited like penguins that had just left the Arctic and entered a new world, finding everything novel.

They were excited yet apprehensive, careful about their image for fear of making a fool of themselves on the first day of registration.

“Everyone, please take your luggage, then go to your respective department’s registration area to sign up and collect your living supplies.

As for the tuition fees, please go to the school’s West Building to pay within one week.”

“Campus cards are also processed at the payment center.

You’ll need them for eating in the school cafeteria, showering in the bathhouse, and getting water from the water room.

Once you have it, please keep it safe!”

As the bus came to a stop, a senior accompanied by some student union volunteers came over to help the newcomers take their luggage off the bus and direct them, sharing some tips to heed.

“Thank you!”

Lin Baici picked up his trolley case and joined the queue at the Electrical Engineering College’s registration booth.

His first choice had been software engineering at Haijing Polytechnic,

and he had been accepted.
