Hungry Tiger Arrives at the Door (Part 1)

This!

This!!

This!!!

This is actually an Auxiliary Cultivation Manual?!

Shi Tiexin's mind was a thunderclap, his shock immeasurable. The bright characters were right there, making it impossible for Shi Tiexin not to believe. But accepting it was indeed very difficult.

At Star Engineering Cadet School, no, in the entire Tumubao, Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals were high-priced strategic resources. Moreover, the market supply for such items was always tight, and prices frequently rose. Even for staff members who had achieved a certain rank, not everyone could afford them long-term. To be honest, this was Shi Tiexin's first time seeing one; he didn't even know what an Auxiliary Cultivation Manual looked like before.

But what about these papers?

In the memory of another consciousness, the school would distribute a portion of papers every period, for every subject. This meant that periodically, they were given away for free!

Given away for free!!

Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals were given away for free!!

And not the kind that only increased speed by 1% or 2%, but high-quality Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals that directly increased speed by 20%!

With a turn of his head, Shi Tiexin suddenly looked at Zhao Qingmiao. This guy was holding a whole stack of Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals, over forty sheets at a rough glance. In Tumubao, this little sprout would have been attacked countless times for just this stack. But now, he was letting an ordinary little sprout hold them, completely unguarded.

Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals were given away in batches freely. It didn't matter if they were used up; more would be given after a while. The memory also included dedicated guidance teachers who would correct mistakes and shortcomings during the use of the Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals, even openly teaching without any reservations.

Was this the dominance of a sacred land for cultivating Heart Arts?

Was this the prestige of Fengming First High School?

I'm impressed, I, Tie, am impressed. This place truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred land. From now on, I, Shi Tiexin, will genuinely stick around here!

However, this little sprout seems to want to take away the unused Auxiliary Cultivation Manuals—how can that be? I haven't used them yet! But this seems to be the tradition here. How can I find a way to keep the items?

Bribery?

No money!

Threats?

Don't be ridiculous. This kid looks pretty decent. And we have no prior grudges, so threatening him would be too despicable.

Then I can only… say a few nice words and beg for mercy, see if they can make an exception. But asking for an exception right away makes even me feel a bit embarrassed.

As Shi Tiexin bashfully turned his head, he was stunned to find that Zhao Qingmiao had already left.

Need I say more!

This big shot took out a blank paper, slapped it on the table, glanced back this way with eyes so fierce they looked like they could devour him, the meaning was already obvious. I'm still waiting there, does he want to hear me say, "I didn't do it"? What if he just slaps me, won't my head be the one hurting?

These damned delinquent youths, hitting and cursing as they please, are truly detestable!

Zhao Qingmiao felt wronged but dared not show it, so he could only return to his seat and sulk. However, after a moment, he turned his head to secretly look at Shi Tiexin again, pushed his glasses up with his finger, and the lenses suddenly became blindingly white.

Hmph, arrogant. Be as arrogant as you want now.

Although it sounds a bit strange, I'll proudly say it—our Trash Class is not that easy to get by in! A strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake. You, showing up and being so conspicuous right after arriving, just wait for trouble to find you! I saw it, Zhou Nan looked very displeased last night. How could that scoundrel Zhou Nan honestly give up the position of boss of Class 28?

Looking around, Zhou Nan still hasn't arrived...

It's settled. That guy must have gone to get reinforcements. When Zhou Nan brings back reinforcements and drags you to the dark toilet, hehe, I'll let you know what regret feels like!

Zhao Qingmiao believed Zhou Nan must have gone to form alliances.

Did Zhou Nan go?

Of course, he did.

And as soon as he went, he found the most vicious group of people in the first year of Fengming First High School, the super delinquents of Class 30 of First Year, known as Black Hand Hungry Tiger, and the person most likely to inherit the title of Four Heavenly Kings during the transition of power, Teng Chaoguo.

If all the delinquent youths in the entire first year were to be ranked by seniority, the first place would be Liu Shufeng of Class 29 of First Year. Although this guy acts foolish every day, often spouting nonsense like "I, Liu Chuanfeng, am already invincible," his strength is second only to Brother Da Long of the second year, and he is the only one who has won the title of Four Heavenly Kings as a first-year student.

And Teng Chaoguo is one of the few people ranked just below Liu Shufeng, with comparable strength. His family seems to have considerable background, and he is known for being ruthless, bullying people to death, and having a brutal and uninhibited style.

Zhou Nan wants to deal with Shi Tiexin, but he would never go to Liu Shufeng, because Liu Shufeng, apart from being good at fighting, liking to act cool and foolish, and being willing to spar with others, doesn't have many other bad habits. Without bad habits, he definitely wouldn't get along with Zhou Nan.

Besides, what if Liu Shufeng had a fair fight with this newcomer, found a worthy opponent, and ended up developing a mutual admiration like in a hot-blooded manga? Wouldn't that be giving the kid a good backer for nothing?

So, at this time, it's better to find Teng Chaoguo, who is shameless, has no bottom line, and is dark-hearted and ruthless.

Moreover, I, Zhou Nan, have my own ways and know many things that others don't. This time, I'm using the tactic of driving a tiger to swallow a wolf, and I'm absolutely confident...

On a rooftop, several students covered in parts were smoking. Zhou Nan started yelling from a distance.

"Brother Guo! Brother Guo, I'm sorry, Brother Guo! I've come to beg for punishment, Brother Guo!"

These delinquents all turned their heads, and then the leader, a person with a gloomy and fierce expression, stood up. This person didn't look very tall or strong; his skin was fair, and he had several pimples on his face, making him look somewhat like a pretty boy. But his eyes made people uncomfortable; they were the kind of eyes that were wicked from the bottom of their hearts.

This person was Teng Chaoguo.

"Oh, Nanzi is here." Teng Chaoguo took a deep drag of his cigarette, his gloomy gaze fixed on Zhou Nan. "What's going on? By the way, where are the cigarettes I asked you to buy?"

"I was just about to tell you about that!" Zhou Nan put on his acting skills, filled with indignation: "Brother Guo, your little brother prepared Brother Guo's cigarettes early yesterday morning and was planning to deliver them to you tonight. But unexpectedly, Zheng Fangtou came! Zheng Fangtou confiscated all the cigarettes, leaving not a single one, Brother Guo!"

"Hmm?" Teng Chaoguo's eyes widened, his expression unfriendly. He took a deep drag of his cigarette, then picked up the burning end and thrust it forward with a "whoosh." The scorching cigarette tip headed straight for his face. Zhou Nan was startled and saw the cigarette tip eventually graze his ear and slide past his face.

A false alarm.

But the man opposite seemed to be barely holding back.

"Son of a bitch, are you, sick?" Teng Chaoguo's face was gloomy, his speech very slow and frightening: "You lost my cigarettes, and you still come here to cry to me?"
