Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 66 The Grateful Fish_1

66: Chapter 66: The Grateful Fish_1

66 -66: The Grateful Fish_1

It was getting close to evening, and the small square in front of Dormitory #2 still bustled with people.

The scent of food from the cafeteria wafted over, involuntarily inducing salivation.

[Departure, destination cafeteria, seek out the chef, enjoy the feast!]

The Eater God urged.

On the distant asphalt road, many cars were still parked, belonging to parents who had come to drop off their children.

Those like Lin Baici, who came by train alone, were not so common.

After all, a mother worries over a journey of a thousand miles, and parents still want to see their children’s schools for themselves.

“Bai Ci, what kind of card are you planning to buy?”

Hu Wenwu, hailing from a poverty-stricken mountain area, hadn’t touched a mobile phone during his three years of high school, so he wasn’t very familiar with them.

He wanted to ask which card was the cheapest, but the words stopped on his lips, too embarrassed to say it out loud.

“Buy whichever one’s worth the money!”

Although he was about to receive a million yuan in prize money and possibly even a six hundred thousand yuan annual salary, benefits not included, it hadn’t landed in his hands yet.

And even if he did get it, he would save it to buy a big villa for his mom.

Hu Wenwu saw Lin Baici speak these words openly and without any shame for buying something cheap, a mentality which he envied.

He still cared too much about the financial value of these things.

Lin Baici was tall and leggy, standing there with an air that seemed to dwarf all the surrounding hills and took the entire square into view with just a glance.

Didn’t spot the female anchor.

Forget it,

Let’s not look for her right now.

First get a SIM card, then later I can exchange new phone numbers with Hua Yue Yu.

“Find me where they’re selling SIM cards!”

Lin Baici sent a message to Hua Yue Yu and headed towards the stall with the ‘Mobile’ blue sign, not because he favored the brand, but because the girl selling there was rather pretty.

She was dressed in a blue Mobile company vest, and though wearing light makeup, she seemed to be a university student working a part-time job.

[A girl skilled in sales talk who can really push products, I advise you not to go or you’ll end up spending more and buying unnecessary things!]

The Eater God commented.

“In your eyes, do I have such little self-control?

Unable to resist temptation?”

Lin Baici sneered, feeling underestimated by the Eater God.

Even if she were a goddess and her spiel more impressive than Guo Degang’s, she wouldn’t get me to spend an extra cent.

[Heh heh, a school sister’s waist, a bone-scraping knife!]

“I just don’t believe it!”

Lin Baici and Hu Wenwu approached the Mobile stall, and without even saying anything, the part-time sister there already smiled, her eight white teeth making her seem all the more approachable.

“Young lad, you want to buy a SIM card?”

The part-time sister picked up two flyers and handed them to Lin Baici and Hu Wenwu, “Do you make lots of calls, or watch videos often?”

Hu Wenwu didn’t understand and looked to Lin Baici.

“Is there a difference?”

Lin Baici quickly glanced over the flyers.

“If you make a lot of calls, you should go for the options with more free talk time; if you watch videos and play games a lot, you should choose the plans with more data!”

The part-time sister’s voice was sweet, but she began hinting, “Generally, freshmen like to choose plans with lots of data, as they often feel homesick in a new environment and need to contact their parents frequently.

Plus, there are lots of new classmates to video chat and play games with, which also uses a lot of data.

Basically, without 30G per month, it won’t be enough.”

“If you run out of data later, buying data packs separately will be much more expensive!”

“So I suggest you go for this 59 yuan Campus Dynamic card, which offers 30G of data per month, a hundred minutes of calls, free domestic incoming calls, and 500GB of cloud storage.”

“This is the popular package right now, most students are using it!”

Hearing 59 yuan, Hu Wenwu immediately lost his interest.

He took a look at the packages on the flyer and found that even the cheapest was 19 yuan.

That’s expensive.

The part-time sister watched them both, noticing the short-haired boy on the left, whose expression was serious as he read the flyer—he was no longer a target customer.

The other one…

“Mother of God,

Is that a Rolex on his wrist?

Great,

If I don’t fleece you for a good sum, I’ll write my name ‘Xiao’ upside down!”

“Young lad, if you feel like you’re talking to your girlfriend a lot and the data isn’t enough, you could consider the 399 yuan package, with 150G of data, 1500 minutes of calls, and 1000M of fiber-optic access.”

“You guys have just arrived and definitely need to set up broadband, and our Mobile signal is excellent!”

The part-time sister was pushing the most expensive package, which was hardly sold unless it was to a wealthy person or someone involved in livestreaming.

“That’s too expensive!”

Lin Baici wasn’t interested.

“Then there’s this 299 yuan one…”

Before the part-time sister could finish, Lin Baici cut her off.

“That’s too expensive!”

Worried that the sister would introduce other costly plans, Lin Baici made his stance clear, “What plans do you have under 30 yuan?”

Meow meow meow?

The part-time sister looked at Lin Baici in astonishment.

You must be a rich second generation, right?

You should be a rich second generation, right?

Why so frugal?

Don’t save money on behalf of your dad!

Plans under 30 yuan?

Not even a dog would look at those!

Inside, the part-time sister roared, feeling the commission she was about to pocket suddenly sprouting wings and flying away.

“I’m just not sure if this 29 yuan plan with 5G of data will be enough?”

Lin Baici pondered.

Now in university, he was bound to spend more time on his phone.

“If you don’t watch TikTok, browse Bilibili, shop on Taobao, or play games, only using it for WeChat and browsing the web, it should be just about enough!”

The part-time sister wanted to say, with that package, the Rolex on your arm will cry, you know?

“I think I’ll be watching Bilibili!”

Lin Baici remembered the video he posted chanting Buddhist sutras, too busy these days to check on the views.

Mainly because the data on the first two videos was so bad, Lin Baici didn’t have much motivation.

“I seriously recommend this 49 yuan Joy Card package to you!”

Baby feels bitter inside, baby needs a hug.

A rich second generation walked past me; am I selling for just 49 yuan?

Write my ‘Xiao’ upside down!

Although she inwardly complained, this Miss Xiao didn’t give up.

She had to pluck a feather from an iron rooster to show off her skills.

“Wenwu, what do you think?”

Lin Baici sought her roommate’s opinion.

“Maybe…

shall we take a look next door?”

Hu Wenwu thought all these packages were expensive, better to check out the telecommunications company instead.

“Sounds good!”

Lin Baici was indifferent.

“Damn it, I can’t make even 49 yuan?”

The part-time working sister nearly lost her mind, quickly rearranging her sales pitch to retain the two when a cute, round-faced girl hurried over and slapped the handsome junior’s back.

“Xiao Bai!”

Hua Yue Yu, with one hand on her chin and the other across her chest, observed Lin Baici with a cheerful smile: “I haven’t seen you in more than ten days, why do I feel like you’ve grown taller again?”

Lin Baici turned around, looking at the female broadcaster with her upturned eyelashes: “Jealous, aren’t you?”

These past few days, Lin Baici also noticed that he had grown another three centimeters, now roughly 188 centimeters tall, probably thanks to eating Meteorite and God’s bones.

“I really wish I could chop off your legs and attach them to myself,” Hua Yue Yu swung her right hand, making a chopping gesture.

“Are you buying a phone card?”

“Yep!”

Lin Baici nodded: “Let me introduce you first, this is my roommate, Hu Wenwu!”

“Wenwu, this is my friend, Hua Yue Yu!”

“Hello!”

Hua Yue Yu waved her hand.

“Yo…

you hello!”

Hu Wenwu was awkward.

Shy and introverted, he barely spoke to girls during three years of middle school and high school, let alone such a pretty girl.

So now he was very nervous, his palms sweating.

“Definitely a rich second generation.”

The part-time sister internally muttered, judging by this girl’s appearance, only a rich second generation would dare to court her.

Although she was short, she was beautiful, especially when she smiled, very cute.

She wore a sky-blue tank top with a romper skirt featuring a ruffled hem reaching her thighs.

She didn’t wear stockings, her bare legs in a pair of sandals.

Her medium-length hair was styled with a cartoon hair clip above her bangs, and she carried a Pikachu-shaped golden backpack, exuding an overwhelmingly cute and sweet aura.

The part-time sister really wanted to tell Hua Yue Yu, “Your boyfriend is super stingy.”

“Buy a package with lots of data.”

Hua Yue Yu took the pamphlet from Lin Baici’s hand, scanning it quickly, “Get this one for 299 yuan, 100GB of data a month, that should be enough.”

The part-time sister’s eyes immediately lit up as she turned to Lin Baici.

Your girlfriend has spoken,

do you dare to be stingy now?

“That’s too expensive!”

Lin Baici shook his head: “Plus, I won’t even use that much data!”

“You can video chat with me!”

Hua Yue Yu said matter-of-factly: “Bother yourself with this package, bring over the list of numbers, and we’ll pick one.”

Usually, the more expensive packages come with better phone numbers, and they generally don’t include the number 4.

“Yue Yu, stop fooling around.”

Lin Baici planned to just buy any package for now and switch to a suitable one after one or two months, depending on the situation.

“I’ll gift it to you!”

Worried that Lin Baici would refuse, Hua Yue Yu quickly took out her phone from her small bag, ready to scan and pay.

Slap!

Lin Baici seized the broadcaster’s hand.

Hua Yue Yu, no matter how swift, couldn’t outpace Lin Baici.

“Xiao Bai, give me a chance to repay you!”

Hua Yue Yu brought her hands together, bowing to Lin Baici: “Otherwise, with such a big favor owed, I can’t eat or sleep well!”

The part-time sister looked at the two of them, unable to grasp their relationship.

Repay what favor?

What are you, a White Snake?

The part-time sister glanced at Lin Baici and thought, seeing his build, if he played Xu Xian, he could pin down a demon-catching Fahai on the ground and pound him.

“Do you consider me a friend?”

Hua Yue Yu looked at Lin Baici: “If we’re friends, stop being so calculative.

You know, tens of thousands of yuan mean nothing to me!”

The female broadcaster spoke earnestly, leaving Lin Baici embarrassed to refuse anymore: “Then let’s switch to another package, this one’s too expensive, and we won’t use all that data.”

“Get the one for 49 yuan, can’t go any lower!”

Hua Yue Yu insisted.

The part-time sister handed over a list of numbers: “Apart from the ones crossed out in red, any can be chosen!”

“Pick this one, 13826261001, how’s that?”

Hua Yue Yu scanned quickly, selecting a number that coincidentally matched her birthday on October 1st.

“Okay!”

Lin Baici smiled: “Hopefully the number you picked will bring me good luck!”

“Of course!”

Hua Yue Yu stood proudly with hands on her hips, letting out a proud hum.

Seeing Lin Baici pulling out his phone, she quickly scanned to pay with fingertip verification: “Don’t fight with me!”

2500 yuan received in Alipay.

“Your phone card will be activated within the latest 24 hours.”

The part-time sister was secretly pleased about selling another card, but upon hearing the amount, she cursed under her breath; she had entered the wrong sum.

The payment code was for the store; refunding it would require calling the boss and be very troublesome.
