Ding! You successfully took in a goddess. Randomly unlocking a new supply... Ding! Unlock successful. Congratulations, you unlocked the Type 54 Pistol! Type 54 Pistol +1. Stored in System Space. Type 54 Pistol +1. Stored in System Space. Type 54...
At the system notification, Shen Yi froze for a moment, then broke into a grin!
A Type 54 Pistol!
A gun! A firearm!
This was awesome!!
Now he was really set!
With a gun in hand, where couldn't he go?
Shen Yi had never used a gun, but it wasn't too late to learn!
Besides, sometimes he wouldn't even need to fire it. Just showing someone the gun would scare them!
That was the power of a firearm!
With that thought, Shen Yi glanced at Jiangnan Yan, who lay beside him pretending to sleep out of embarrassment, and his mood soared!
He hadn't expected her to help him unlock something as important as a pistol!
Still,
There was one thing he needed to check.
Did the gun come with bullets?
If it didn't, and he had to unlock compatible ammunition separately, that would be a pain.
With a thought, Shen Yi took a Type 54 Pistol out of System Space.
It had some weight to it!
Hefting it a few times, Shen Yi confirmed the safety was on and there was no risk of an accidental discharge. Only then did he remove the magazine to check it.
Good. It came with bullets!
A full magazine, too!
Shen Yi took them all out and counted eight rounds.
Each gun came with eight rounds, and he had an endless supply of guns. He would never have to worry about ammunition!
He wouldn't even need to change magazines. Once he emptied a gun, he could just throw it away!
In a pinch, switching guns was much faster than changing magazines!
"Too bad there's no rating feature. I'd give the system five stars!" Shen Yi said happily as he played with the pistol.
The system had thought of everything!
"Is that... a gun!?"
Jiangnan Yan had secretly opened her eyes and happened to see Shen Yi conjure a gun out of thin air. Her heart lurched, and she nearly cried out.
A gun!
She had seen her father handle pistols before, but she'd had little contact with them herself. She couldn't help feeling awed.
The killing power of a firearm—and the threat it posed—was terrifying!
"His ability definitely isn't just conjuring food!"
Jiangnan Yan grew even more certain of her suspicion.
If he could only conjure food, how could Shen Yi produce a gun?
It made no sense!
Either Shen Yi had a limitless storage ability and had stocked up on these supplies beforehand, or his power was far more frightening than Xu Wanting knew!
Xu Wanting, Xu Wanting. You really are naive... as easy to fool as ever.
Jiangnan Yan glanced at Xu Wanting, who was fast asleep in the next bed, and laughed inwardly.
She could tell Xu Wanting had used her connection to Shen Yi to throw her weight around today, hoping to put Jiangnan Yan in her place.
Jiangnan Yan had only just arrived and didn't know Shen Yi well enough to judge how close he and Xu Wanting were. That was why she hadn't dared offend Xu Wanting lightly.
But now, it seemed the two of them weren't especially close.
Otherwise,
Xu Wanting would know Shen Yi's ability was more than conjuring food!
If Shen Yi didn't fully trust Xu Wanting, Jiangnan Yan still had a chance!
A chance to surpass her!!
Proud and clever as she was, Jiangnan Yan had no intention of settling for second place, even if she had come into the relationship later.
She began planning in silence. Starting tomorrow, she would get closer to Shen Yi and earn his trust—more trust than he placed in Xu Wanting!
First, she needed to find out what Shen Yi liked.
Appealing to his tastes would be the quickest way.
"He probably... likes women, right?" Jiangnan Yan looked at the marks on her body, her cheeks reddening.
She hardly needed to think about it. Shen Yi liked women, especially beautiful ones.
If Xu Wanting could trick her into coming here, why couldn't she trick someone else?
"Teacher Bai..." Teacher Bai's face suddenly came to mind.
Teacher Bai was a little older, but she had a lovely figure. Shen Yi would probably like her, wouldn't he?
Sorry, Teacher Bai.
Time passed.
The night went by.
The next morning, the sun slowly rose.
Meanwhile, in Room 606 of the boys' dormitory,
The heavyset girl who had been knocked unconscious gradually stopped breathing. She was dead.
Shen Yi had held back some of his strength, but a punch to the head was still enough to kill.
Bai Xinyi looked at her student's body and couldn't hold back her tears.
Guilt, grief, and fear tangled together, overwhelming even this well-educated teacher.
Bai Xinyi had not left the boys' dormitory.
Exhausted and hungry, with an unconscious student in her care, she simply hadn't had the strength to leave.
Then,
Bai Xinyi had found the door to Room 606 unlocked and brought her student inside.
She had never imagined her student would die...
If she'd known, she would have dragged her student to the hospital, no matter how much strength it took.
"Teacher Bai, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Jiangnan Yan walked in carrying half a bottle of water and a chicken drumstick.
"W-why are you here?" Bai Xinyi looked up at Jiangnan Yan and wiped the tears from her eyes. She didn't want her student to see her looking weak.
"I brought you something to eat. I also wanted to ask if you're leaving the dorm today. My husband and I are heading out together." Jiangnan Yan held out the drumstick and water.
"H-husband?"
Bai Xinyi froze.
It had only been one night. How had she started calling him that so easily?
And she didn't seem bothered by it at all.
Bai Xinyi took a closer look at Jiangnan Yan. Not only did she seem untroubled, she was positively radiant. Color had returned to her face, and she seemed more womanly—and prettier—than before.
Most striking of all, Jiangnan Yan had washed her hair and put on makeup!
Where had she found water and cosmetics??
"Yeah. My husband's actually a good person." Jiangnan Yan smiled without a trace of embarrassment.
Bai Xinyi could hardly believe it.
It had only been one night.
How could someone as rational as Jiangnan Yan change so much?
What Bai Xinyi didn't realize was,
It was precisely because Jiangnan Yan was rational that she had weighed the advantages and disadvantages so quickly and made the choice that benefited her most.
And her choice, naturally, was to stick close to Shen Yi!
Shen Yi had a gun now!
Even if there were mutated animals and plants outside, a gun should be enough to deal with them.
"He's a good person? He killed someone! And you still say he's a good person!?" Bai Xinyi asked in disbelief.
Jiangnan Yan glanced at Wang Meimei's cold body and frowned. The sight of a corpse frightened her too, but she said, "If Wang Meimei had watched her mouth, why would my husband have hit her? Besides, he held back. If he'd really wanted to kill her, she would've died on the spot!"
After all, Shen Yi hadn't used his gun.
Otherwise, one shot would have ended Wang Meimei's life last night.
That's right. Shen Yi isn't to blame. It's all Wang Meimei's fault!
If she'd known when to keep her mouth shut, she wouldn't have been killed.
