After scrolling through, he returned to WeChat and found Zhong Yingxue’s account.
Username: Ting Xue
Her profile picture was a cute cartoon snowman.
Jiangnan sent her the photo.
She replied instantly.
“So late and you’re still on your phone? Sleep early! Goodnight! (´◔‸◔`)”
Jiangnan’s heart nearly melted…
Wow!
That emoji was too adorable!
He glanced at the time, already past one in the morning.
He sent the photo to Xia Yao as well.
Username: Wolf Slayer
Her profile picture was a white wolf howling at the moon in the night!
???
What the heck? Xia Yao, are you serious? Wolf Slayer?
That’s a few levels above ruthless.
He hadn’t noticed when messaging her during dinner.
After sending the picture, she didn’t reply, probably asleep.
Jiangnan went to bed too, but the next morning…
The class group and Weibo were blowing up!
Class group:
“@Nan God, damn! Who are those two gorgeous girls? How’d you hook up with them?”
“Splitting bricks at the night market gets you girls?”
“The silver-haired girl is so cool! Even I, a girl, am smitten!”
“Your Weibo’s gone viral!”
“You don’t know them? Songjiang Lingwu High’s school beauties! Zhong Yingxue!”
“And that’s Silver Wolf Xia Yao, super tough, famous city-wide, okay?”
“Here’s the question… how does Jiangnan know them!”
Nan God: “Got them with a phone top-up deal…”
The lively atmosphere suddenly went cold.
[Resentment points from Zhou Bing +134!]
[Resentment points from Han Yuanyuan +422!]
[Resentment points from…]
Haha, so thrilled!
Jiangnan loved these adorable classmates!
He opened Weibo, and his notifications were 99+.
A closer look showed his followers had inexplicably shot up to over ten thousand.
All sorts of private messages!
“Little brother, fancy a meet-up at Jiangnan Night Market tonight? Watch you split bricks!”
“Baldy Guy? Damn… pretty fitting!”
“I run a salon, want a year-long perm card?”
“Let go of those two beauties, let me have a shot!”
“Those legs! So long… that head! So shiny…”
“Rain or shine, Jiangcheng Night Market’s waiting for you!”
“Aren’t those our school’s Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao?”
Jiangnan skimmed through, thoroughly impressed with these goofy netizens!
The guy offering a perm membership card, don’t go!
Let’s meet up tonight!
There were also some nasty ones.
One called “Luo.”
“Dare touch my girl? You’re dead!”
Jiangnan wasn’t having it and replied.
“If touching her means death… I’ve already died ten thousand times!”
Heh, pretty cheeky!
[Resentment points from Luo Tianxiang +999!]
[Resentment points from Luo Tianxiang +1000!]
…
The resentment points list was going wild!
First time seeing a thousand! This guy won’t die of anger, will he?
In a luxurious villa, Luo Tianxiang, in pyjamas, snapped his phone in half with a “crack”!
His face was icy!
“Find out who this guy is, don’t let Xiao Xue know!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Heading to school, Jiangnan was in high spirits. That Luo Tianxiang guy’s temper was something else.
In just a bit, it was nearly enough for another ten-draw!
Zhou Yuqing walked quietly beside Jiangnan.
She stole glances at him, her pretty face slightly flushed!
At the alley entrance, a bunch of old men out for a stroll were gathered, watching something lively, no idea what was up.
Jiangnan went over to check.
Damn!
Baldy Qiang and his seven or eight lackeys were still standing on one leg, hands on their heads.
Sporting huge dark circles, legs trembling, they hadn’t slept, standing there all night?
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave!
They were genuinely scared of Jiangnan’s beating!
Seeing Jiangnan, they chorused: “Morning, Brother Nan!”
“Morning, Brother Nan!”
All eyes snapped to Jiangnan…
This bald guy’s the boss?
Zhou Yuqing looked at Jiangnan, little stars in her eyes!
“Get lost! Making a fool of yourselves this early!”
Jiangnan snapped. Brother Nan, my foot?
Don’t I have any dignity?
Baldy Qiang and his crew scrambled off as if pardoned.
“Brother Qiang! We just let it go?”
“No way! Judging by his skills, he’s probably a Lingwu fighter too. Wait till I get someone to take him down!”
“Still gotta hand it to Brother Qiang!”
…
At the classroom, after Jiangnan topped the leaderboard yesterday, no one mocked him anymore!
But no one was optimistic about him either.
So what if he awakened strength powers? Trash talent, he’d fall behind sooner or later!
No E-grade talent ever made it to Silver or Gold!
Even Li Xiang and Li Muyan had dark circles, clearly not sleeping well.
Morning was cultural classes, which Jiangnan half-listened to…
His grades were great, always top of the class!
He earned his tuition through hard work, so no reason not to listen?
Even Lingwu fighters need to study, right?
But few thought like Jiangnan…
Lunch at the cafeteria was green beans and stewed potatoes. Jiangnan wolfed down two big bowls!
No idea why, but the taste was off, not like usual.
Sure enough, during afternoon class, trouble hit!
Halfway through, Li Xiang, sitting in front, went pale, clutching his stomach!
Just as he raised his hand to speak, he collapsed, twitching and foaming at the mouth!
“What the hell’s going on?”
“He’s foaming?”
“Damn! Food poisoning? The green beans at lunch tasted weird!”
“I ate them too! My mum said undercooked green beans are toxic!”
Even the teacher panicked, urging classmates.
“Quick! Get him to the infirmary!”
Just then, Jiangnan’s eyes lit up!
Chance! This was a golden opportunity!
He stood and shouted: “Don’t touch him!”
His yell stunned the whole class.
What’s up?
“Jiangnan, don’t mess around, this is life and death!”
Li Muyan seized the moment: “Exactly! If this is about yesterday, you’re too petty!”
A wave of snide remarks came, but Jiangnan didn’t care, firing back: “Taking him to the infirmary, what’s that gonna do?”
“This is food poisoning! He could go into shock any moment!”
“By the time an ambulance arrives, it’s too late! Why not let me try?”
Jiangnan’s righteous expression left the class and teacher dumbfounded.
Teacher: “Jiangnan! You can treat illnesses?”
Jiangnan: “Back home, there’s a field with unusually rich spiritual energy. The beans grown there can detoxify!”
“They’re very effective!”
The classmates and teacher looked sceptical. Since Earth’s spiritual energy revival, plants sometimes mutate, gaining special effects.
But detoxifying beans? Reliable?
“What are you dawdling for? He’ll be gone soon!”
Seeing Li Xiang writhing in pain, foaming, the teacher gritted her teeth: “Try it! If it doesn’t work, straight to the infirmary, and call an ambulance now!”
Jiangnan didn’t waste time, opening his spatial ability, pretending to pull beans from it.
In reality, he took Detox Little Yellow Beans from the system!
He grabbed a pound, picked one, and fed it to Li Xiang.
Jiangnan was sure these beans could detoxify!
After all, the Strength Potion really gave strength.
But the side effects…
Who knows what these Detox Little Yellow Beans’ side effects are!
Li Xiang!
Sorry, buddy!
We’re classmates, you gotta understand my good intentions!
I’m helping you! It’s to detoxify you!
It’s for your own good!
Cough…
No ulterior motives!
Not even a tiny bit…
