Douluo: AFK to Become a God

"Boss, is the principal really your grandfather?"

Li Erniu asked curiously. If he remembered correctly, the principal seemed to have the surname Su?

"Uh... I'm not really the boss. The principal is my parents' teacher. I call him Grandpa," Chu Chengzhou waved his hand and said.

As a soul master with less than level 1 soul power, Chu Chengzhou was still self-aware. He clearly wasn't qualified to be called a boss.

"No, Boss, from now on, you're the boss of our seventh dorm!" Li Erniu said firmly.

Work-study students were often bullied in the academy, and as the "boss" of the seventh dorm, Li Erniu was merely the tallest among the short ones. His position wasn't as grand as it sounded.

Although Chu Chengzhou was young, with unknown strength, and probably not as strong as him, he had the principal as his grandfather. These small fries couldn't help but rush to cling to his leg.

As for why he, with a principal for a grandfather, came to the work-study dorm?

Uh... perhaps he was here to experience life?

"That's right, that's right, Boss, from now on, you're the boss of our seventh dorm!"

The former "Boss Li" pushed Chu Chengzhou to be the new boss, and the other work-study students quickly echoed.

Having a grandfather who was the principal made them think that they wouldn't be easily bullied anymore.

'The aura of a king shakes, and the younger brothers come to submit?'

Seeing the work-study students pushing him to be the boss, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but think to himself.

"Cough, cough... Alright, I still won't take the boss position. But if anyone bullies you guys, I can help mediate, though I can't guarantee the outcome."

Clearing his throat, Chu Chengzhou ultimately declined.

He knew a bit about the origins of the work-study boss role from the original story.

It's important to know your limits. The boss position wasn't easy to take. As a small fry, Chu Chengzhou didn't think he had the strength to be the boss.

Otherwise, what if he couldn't intimidate others by mentioning his grandfather and ended up being taught a lesson? That would be embarrassing!

Seeing Chu Chengzhou strongly decline, the others were disappointed. But after hearing his promise to help mediate disputes, their disappointment was quickly swept away.

Work-study students: Now we have someone backing us!

After some introductions, Chu Chengzhou got to know the other work-study students in the seventh dorm. Among them was a minor character, Wang Sheng, the future boss of the seventh dorm next year.

After laying out his bedding and arranging his personal items, it was already around lunchtime.

"Let's go, it's my first day at school. I'll treat you guys to a meal!" Chu Chengzhou called out to the work-study students in the dorm.

"It's already mealtime! But Chu Boss, let me treat you instead!" Li Erniu said, looking out at the sun hanging high in the sky.

Chu Chengzhou refused the "boss" title, but they still clung to it, since as long as they called him "Boss" long enough, it would stick, even if he wasn't the boss.

However, seeing Li Erniu's patched-up clothes, Chu Chengzhou shook his head.

Although he didn't have an income source for now, his grandparents didn't mind covering his living expenses. Treating everyone to a meal was no big deal.

Besides, they were all living under the same roof, so it was necessary to get along well.

Soon, the group of about ten people left the seventh dorm and headed to the cafeteria.

The Notting Academy cafeteria wasn't small, capable of accommodating over 300 people, including students and teachers.

The cafeteria was divided into two floors, with the first floor having a large hall with 300 seats.

As for the second floor? That was reserved for the wealthier families.

At this time, a long line had already formed at the window on the first floor.

Seeing Li Erniu heading to the long line, Chu Chengzhou grabbed him and said, "Let's go to the second floor."

Li Erniu looked at him in confusion. "What's going on?"

"Let's go to the second floor," Chu Chengzhou pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor.

This was his first time treating someone to a meal. The cheap cafeteria food wasn't great, but why not go for the second floor's small kitchen?

"This..."

Li Erniu hesitated. The second floor was for the rich, and the food wasn't cheap. He had been at the academy for five years, and this was his sixth year, but he had never eaten there.

"Let's go!" Chu Chengzhou didn't say much, and led the way up the stairs.

The others exchanged glances, then followed him.

Having a "rich leg" treat them to a meal on the second floor? There was no reason to refuse. After all, Chu Boss's grandfather was the principal, so they were sure he wasn't short of money.

There weren't many people eating on the second floor, as the wealthy were always in the minority.

When Chu Chengzhou brought over a group of work-study students, all wearing patched-up clothes, to the second floor, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone there.

"Yo, isn't this Li Erniu and his group of poor guys? Why are they up here? Is the sun rising in the west today?" A discordant voice rang out.

Following the sound, Chu Chengzhou saw a boy surrounded by a group of followers, looking average but with an air of superiority.

"Who is he?" Chu Chengzhou asked Li Erniu.

"His name is Xiao Chentian, a sixth-year student. He became a formal soul master last year, and I heard he's the nephew of the city lord," Li Erniu whispered.

Clearly, Li Erniu, from an ordinary family, was somewhat intimidated by this second-generation student.

'Xiao Chentian?'

Chu Chengzhou raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, this guy should have a younger brother named Xiao Chenyu, right?

He remembered Xiao Chenyu because he was the son of the city lord of Notting, but his first soul ring was a white ten-year soul ring, and he had been shouting for Xiao Wu to be his pet rabbit. It was hard to understand where that brat got his courage from.

"The cafeteria's second floor isn't yours to run. Can't we eat here?" Chu Chengzhou stepped forward and retorted to Xiao Chentian.

"Who are you? State your name!" Xiao Chentian frowned and asked.

"Chu Chengzhou, a new first-year student, staying in the seventh dorm."

"You're just a work-study student and you dare to..." Before Xiao Chentian could finish, Chu Chengzhou interrupted.

"My grandfather is Su Nan!"

Before Xiao Chentian could say anything else, Chu Chengzhou casually mentioned his grandfather's name.

"Su Nan? What's he even worth? Wait, you're saying your grandfather is the principal?"

Just as he was about to dismiss Su Nan, Xiao Chentian suddenly realized that the principal of Notting Academy was indeed Su Nan.

Chu Chengzhou didn't say anything else, only nodding with a smile.

As a child, when facing "evil forces," it was best to pull out your family background. After all, he couldn't possibly go up and duel with someone much older, could he?
