The next morning, Qin Hao was awakened by a slap.
The first thing he heard when he woke up was, "You bastard, what did you do to me?"
Qin Hao rubbed his aching cheek and stared at Liu Qianqian in bewilderment.
"You, you, I'm going to kill you!"
She moved to attack Qin Hao, but suddenly fainted into his arms.
Qin Hao was lying down, so Liu Qianqian landed directly on his face.
And her softest part was right against his face. To be honest, Qin Hao was smothered so badly he couldn't breathe.
After getting up, he discovered that the young lady's high fever still hadn't gone down.
She slapped me for no reason, and now that she's fainted, I still have to save her.
What did I owe you in my past life?
At the thought, Qin Hao promptly kissed Liu Qianqian on the cheek.
"Hmph, since I saved your life, it's only reasonable for me to take a kiss as repayment, right?"
With that, he kissed her twice more.
"Ahem, I didn't do anything in the first place, but she insisted I did. I can't let myself be falsely accused for nothing!"
Qin Hao stood up, his face flushed, and looked outside. The rain had stopped, and the floodwaters in the forest had receded.
So he jumped down and went looking for herbs.
About ten minutes later, Qin Hao climbed back up to the little wooden cabin with the herbs he had found.
He undid the bandage on Liu Qianqian's wound and changed her medicine again.
Immediately afterward, Qin Hao went out again, this time to look for ingredients.
Before long, Liu Qianqian woke up and found that she was still in the little wooden cabin.
She hurriedly checked her body and found that her wound had been bandaged. Not only that, she felt much better.
Then he remembered that, after being injured last night, she had crawled into her sleeping bag right where she was and fallen asleep.
If she remembered correctly, she had fallen asleep before she had time to treat the wound on her leg.
Looking at the bandaged wound on her leg, Liu Qianqian said, her face red, "Did I wrongly accuse him?"
But then she remembered waking up that morning and finding herself in the same sleeping bag as Qin Hao, lying so close to him.
"Hmph, men. Not a single one of them is any good. Perverts!"
As she spoke, Qin Hao returned with the ingredients he had found.
Then he started cooking.
Liu Qianqian wanted to leave, but when he reached the cabin door and looked down, she found that the cabin had been built quite high up.
With her leg injured, she couldn't get down at all.
"Hmph, pervert!"
She cursed at Qin Hao, who was cooking diligently beneath the tree, then retreated into the cabin and began cultivating to recover from her injury.
Before long, waves of fragrance wafted over.
Liu Qianqian's stomach growled, letting her down.
Indeed, it was the second day of the exam, but she hadn't eaten anything all day yesterday.
She went to the cabin door and looked down, finding that Qin Hao had already made three dishes.
Qin Hao was now making pork leg soup, which took only ten minutes, followed by bear paw.
That too took only ten minutes, and the sight left Liu Qianqian dumbfounded.
He had seen Qin Hao use a fire-type ability, and the prepared ingredients and water had also appeared out of thin air in his hands for no apparent reason.
That was obviously a spatial ability, and then there was the ice-type ability he had used when fighting her yesterday.
"Is this... three abilities at once?"
Qin Hao glanced up at the cabin door and said with a smile, "You're up, girl. Just in time, the food's ready."
With that, Qin Hao stored all the dishes he had made in the space inside his body, then climbed up to the cabin.
Liu Qianqian was so startled that she hurriedly backed away until she bumped into a wooden table and stopped.
Back in the cabin, Qin Hao looked at the terrified Liu Qianqian and said with a smile, "What's wrong, girl? I'm not a monster. What are you afraid of?"
As he spoke, he took all the dishes out of his space and set them securely on the table.
Only then did he realize that he had made only one stool yesterday. They were still one short.
"Oh, there's only one stool." As he spoke, Qin Hao took out the wood left over from yesterday from his space.
He used his dagger to make a simple joint, and soon made a stool using a Mortise-and-Tenon Structure.
At that moment, Liu Qianqian stammered from the side, "Y-you, you, you can use a spatial ability!"
Qin Hao looked up and fixed his gaze on Liu Qianqian. Smiling, he said, "You found out. That's right, I have a Spatial Type ability, but I hope you won't tell anyone, or I might die."
"All right, all right, you must be hungry. Let's eat."
Qin Hao handed Liu Qianqian a pair of chopsticks as he spoke.
"Oh!"
Liu Qianqian nodded and answered instinctively, then took the chopsticks.
Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly remembered that the pervert in front of her had slept pressed tightly against her all night.
"You..."
"Oh, whatever it is, we can talk after we eat!"
As Qin Hao spoke, he picked up a piece of red-braised pork and ate it.
Today, he had made a special dish of red-braised Great Strength Pig meat.
Just then, Liu Qianqian's stomach rumbled again.
"See? What are you still standing there for? Let's eat!"
This scene happened to be caught by the two commentators in the livestream.
However, they hadn't seen Qin Hao use his spatial ability or what had happened before that.
"Wow! Look, Liu Qianqian and Qin Hao have started eating."
"I don't know if you've noticed, but on the other examinees' faces, all we can see is a sense of urgency and pressure. On Qin Hao's face, though, I see an expression of complete ease and enjoyment."
"Yes, but I see something else too. It can be summed up in one word!"
"What word?"
"Smug. Just look at him."
"Now that you mention it, I think so too. Let's just call him—"
At that moment, the comments read, "Trash Qin Hao, beast Qin Hao, hurry up and get away from our Qianqian."
"Trash Qin Hao, sleazy Qin Hao, if I find out where you are, I'll come at you with a broadsword and chop you down."
The comments were almost all curses directed at Qin Hao.
The two commentators were both at a loss for words, thinking these netizens were too brainless.
They had already explained it to them last night: Qin Hao had saved Liu Qianqian, and they had all misunderstood him.
But those brain-dead netizens simply refused to buy it.
After watching a bit of Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian's happy life, the commentators switched the feed to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng seemed to have caught a cold. His nose kept running, and his eyes were vacant.
He had been battered by fierce winds and torrential rain all night long.
Not only had he slept poorly, he had also caught a cold.
The commentators thought he was in too miserable a state and there wasn't much to say, so they switched the feed to Huang Tianlong.
Huang Tianlong was a little better off. Although he was in much the same state as Ye Feng, he had awakened a beastification ability and had King Kong's physique.
So, thanks to his strong constitution, he merely looked as though he hadn't gotten enough sleep.
"I have a feeling that Qin Hao is very likely to be this year's top scorer in the college entrance exam."
"Really? I feel the same way. Even the two super geniuses, Ye Feng and Huang Tianlong, are in such a sorry state, yet Qin Hao is as comfortable as if he were on vacation."
The comments now read, "Pfft, what nonsense. That beast Qin Hao is trash with an F-rank talent. If he takes first place, I'll eat shit while standing on my head."
"Agreed +1"
"Agreed +2"
