Across from the alley at the corner of the wall!
Several young lads, bruised and battered, were squatting on the ground!
Jiangnan was seen ruthlessly stepping on the hand of Baldy Qiang, who had just grabbed Zhou Yuqing.
Grinding… grinding…
Baldy Qiang let out a feeble wail!
“Even pigs squeal less than you do at New Year!”
Wang Qiang: “Little brother, stop hitting! Can’t we admit we were wrong?”
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: “Admit you were wrong?”
Wang Qiang shook his head like a rattle.
“No, no, no! We were definitely wrong!”
“Stand up! On one leg! Hands on your head! Smile for me!”
The lackeys had no choice but to comply!
But for Wang Qiang, a fatty weighing over two hundred pounds, it was quite a challenge.
Standing on one leg like a golden rooster, his body swayed to the side.
The moment his foot touched the ground, Jiangnan kicked him…
In the end, he was forced to lean against the wall, standing on one leg, flashing a smile uglier than crying.
“The bill for the meal just now…”
“We’ll pay! We’ll pay!”
“The broken tables and chairs…”
“Put it all on us!”
The lackeys frantically dug out money…
In no time, Jiangnan had seven or eight thousand in his hands.
Satisfied, he said: “Hmm, pretty cooperative!”
“Keep your eyes sharp. That stall is under my protection! My home’s right here!”
“If I catch you lot getting cocky after a few drinks again, you know the consequences!”
Baldy Qiang and the others forced smiles: “We brothers got it!”
Jiangnan grinned, turned, and walked toward the stall.
Wang Qiang and his crew finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing on the ground.
Jiangnan turned back: “Who told you lot to lower your hands? Looking for a beating?”
He turned around and gave them another thrashing…
[Resentment points from Wang Qiang +999!]
…
Back at the stall, a few enthusiastic older guys quickly called out.
“Come, little brother, have a drink! Not many young folks like you with such a sense of justice these days!”
“Judging by your moves, you’re from the nearby Lingwu High School, right? Haha!”
“Little brother, be careful. Don’t let them come back to trouble you!”
Jiangnan scratched his head with a smile: “No worries, it’s all sorted!”
Aunt Zhou hurried over: “Xiao Nan, are you okay? You scared me to death! Who would’ve thought we’d run into this?”
“After beating them, they won’t come back to cause trouble, will they?”
Jiangnan smiled: “They won’t. Leave it to me, Aunt! Here’s the money, their bill, plus the cost for the tables and chairs!”
“Oh my! That’s too much! We don’t need this much!”
Jiangnan stuffed the money into Aunt Zhou’s hands: “Hehe, keep it. The extra can cover next month’s rent!”
“Sigh… this kid. Yuqing, haven’t you thanked Xiao Nan?”
Zhou Yuqing, eyes red, timidly said: “Thank you, Brother Jiangnan!”
Her heart was still pounding. Jiangnan patted her head.
“I’ll take Yuqing home now!”
…
On the way back to the courtyard, Zhou Yuqing’s pretty face was flushed.
Recalling Jiangnan’s heroic figure stepping in, her heart raced.
“Brother Jiangnan, can I become as awesome as you?”
Jiangnan: “You started school early. You’re only 15. By 16, you’ll definitely awaken your powers. Keep at it!”
The best age for awakening powers is 16, though some with exceptional talent, like Zhong Yingxue, awaken before.
Jiangnan awakened his powers at 16. After this age, awakenings are rare.
“Mm, I’ll listen to Brother Jiangnan!”
“Um… tomorrow morning for school… can I… can I walk with you?”
Zhou Yuqing asked, blushing, clearly mustering all her courage.
Jiangnan naturally nodded in agreement.
The little girl had just been through a scare, so she must be terrified.
Zhou Yuqing smiled excitedly: “Then I’ll call you tomorrow morning!”
As if suddenly remembering something: “Uh… I’ll knock on the door!”
Jiangnan: “…”
Great, no way to explain this one!
Back in his little room, Jiangnan lay on the bed, checking the resentment points list.
Zheng Wei’s resentment points were still rolling in?
This guy holds a grudge!
He won’t come back to beat me up, will he?
This time, Jiangnan felt the stall fee was somewhat worth it!
Stall owners get invincible mode within the stall’s range?
Is this to prevent getting beaten up for selling dodgy goods?
The skill panel was pretty useful.
Seems like learning skills depends on triggering them!
After a day’s hustle, Jiangnan racked up over 300,000 resentment points!
Unable to resist, he went for three more ten-draw lotteries!
…
First ten draws.
Only one Marrow-Cleansing Fruit, nine “bottles” of Strength Potion.
The consolation prizes changed.
[Thank you for participating! Consolation prize: one pound of Detox Little Yellow Beans!]
…
Twenty times in a row!
[Detox Little Yellow Beans!]
Effect: Can cure all potent poisons! Crunchy, chicken-flavored!
Then, twenty pounds of Detox Little Yellow Beans appeared in his inventory!
[System Shop Unlocked! Previously obtained consolation prizes can be purchased in the System Shop!]
[Strength Potion! 100 resentment points per bottle!]
What’s that? No more Strength Potions for “thank you for participating,” just Detox Little Yellow Beans?
A Strength Potion costs 100 resentment points to buy, but a draw costs 10,000?
What kind of scam system is this?
Can these Detox Little Yellow Beans really detoxify?
Jiangnan didn’t dare try them lightly.
Drinking a Strength Potion made him bald, and his hair still hasn’t grown back!
Who knows what side effects these Detox Little Yellow Beans might have?
He got it now!
Consolation prizes are all traps. Only the real prizes are good stuff!
He resolved to test the Detox Little Yellow Beans’ effects if he got the chance!
Having been burned once, Jiangnan wasn’t about to try them…
If he could collect his own resentment points, they’d probably be off the charts!
Swallowing the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit with a grudge, his aptitude improved again, and his cultivation reached Black Iron Eight Stars!
“No idea if there’s a limit to aptitude improvement…”
“My talent’s probably at A-level now, right?”
Jiangnan didn’t think too much!
Just keep chugging along!
His talent used to be poor, cultivation slow, and his spatial ability useless!
Now that he had a chance, he had to seize it.
He pulled out his trusty domestic phone, browsing, and saw he was tagged in the Lingwu Class One group.
“Damn, Nan God’s gone viral again! Over a million views on Weibo!”
“Jiangnan’s night market stall, smashing bricks with his forehead!”
Someone uploaded a short video of him smashing bricks…
In the video, Jiangnan was shouting and smashing bricks! It was hot!
“This guy’s really smashing them?”
“Invincible Iron Head Kid?”
“Punching out a testing machine in the day, smashing red bricks with his forehead at night? Is my Nan God this busy?”
“@Nan God! Can your head smash a weight?”
Nan God: “Not only can I smash a weight! I can operate an excavator!”
“Damn! Hahahahaha!”
“@Li Xiang!”
“@Li Xiang!”
[Resentment points from Li Xiang +999!]
Jiangnan chuckled through the screen.
Curious, he downloaded Weibo, registered an account named “Baldy Guy,” and used a Saitama avatar.
Sure enough, he found his brick-smashing video.
Over 1.5 million views, more than 10,000 comments.
“First to comment!”
“It was live, real bricks!”
“I’m going to the night market to see him tomorrow!”
“Even though the little brother is bald, he’s still handsome, my type!”
“Tch, you’re too late. I saw two gorgeous girls helping him sell! Super pretty!”
…
Jiangnan replied to a comment:
“Bro, you saw right! (picture).jap”
The attached image was the one Xia Yao helped take.
How could Jiangnan miss a chance to stir up some resentment?
Another wave of resentment points, maybe?
