He scrolled around for a while before returning to WeChat and finding Zhong Yingxue.
Username: Listen to Snow
Her profile picture was a cute cartoon snowman.
Jiang Nan sent her the photo.
She replied instantly.
"Good Xiao Nan, it's so late and you're still on your phone? Go to bed early! Night! (′???`)"
Yep... confirmed. She was just like his real sister!
He glanced at the time. It was already past one in the morning.
Then he sent the photo to Xia Yao.
Username: Ruthless Wolf
Her profile picture was a husky with a wicked yet goofy grin.\ncom
???
What the hell? Sister Xia Yao, are you serious? Ruthless Wolf?
That was a whole lot more hardcore than just being ruthless.
He hadn't even noticed when he messaged her during dinner.
He sent her the picture, but she didn't reply. She was probably asleep.
Jiang Nan turned over and went to sleep too. But when he woke up early the next morning...
The class group chat and Weibo had both blown up!
Class group chat:
"@South God, holy crap! Who are those two gorgeous girls? How'd you get them?"
"You can pick up girls by smashing bricks at the night market?"
"The silver-haired beauty is so cool! I'm a girl and I'm swooning!"
"Your Weibo's blowing up!"
"You don't know them? Songjiang Lingwu High School's Fire Element Great Archmage! Zhong Yingxue!"
"That's the Silver Wolf, Xia Yao. She can really fight—she's famous all over the city!"
"Here's the real question... how does Jiang Nan know them?"
South God: "They came free with a phone top-up..."
The lively chat suddenly went dead quiet.
[Resentment Points from Zhou Bing +134!]
[Resentment Points from Han Yuanyuan +422!]
[From...]
Haha, this was great!
Jiang Nan really loved these adorable classmates of his!
He opened Weibo again, and there were already 99+ notifications.
He took a closer look and saw that his follower count had somehow shot up past ten thousand.
All kinds of private messages!
"Hey handsome, want to meet up at Jiangnan Night Market tonight? I want to watch you smash bricks!"
"Bald Guy? Holy crap... that's pretty fitting!"
"I run a hair salon. Want a one-year perm membership card?"
"Let those two beauties go! Let me have a turn!"
"Those legs! So big... That head! So white..."
"Rain or shine, I'll be waiting for you at Jiangcheng Night Market!"
"Aren't those Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao from Songjiang Lingwu?"
Jiang Nan skimmed through the messages and was speechless at those ridiculous netizens!
To the bro offering me a perm membership: don't go anywhere!
Let's meet up tonight!
Some of the comments were disgusting, too.
One was from someone called "Luo."
"You dare touch my woman? You're dead!"
Jiang Nan immediately fired back.
"If touching her means I'll die... then I've already died ten thousand times!"
Heh heh... How slick!
[Resentment Points from Luo Zhixiang +999!]
[Resentment Points from Luo Zhixiang +1000!]
His Resentment Points list was refreshing like crazy!
That was the first time he'd seen a thousand! Was this guy going to get so mad he died?
Inside a luxurious villa, Luo Zhixiang, dressed in pajamas, crushed his phone with a crack!
His face was icy.
"Find out who this guy is! Don't let Yingxue find out!"
"Yes, young master!"
Jiang Nan headed to school in high spirits. That Luo Zhixiang guy had a really short fuse.
At this rate, he'd have enough for a Ten Consecutive Draw soon!
Zhou Yuqing walked quietly beside him.
Every so often, she stole a glance at him, her pretty face turning pink!
When they reached the mouth of the alley, they saw a crowd of old men out for a stroll, gathered around to watch something. They had no idea what was going on.
Jiang Nan went over to take a look.
Holy crap!
Baldy Qiang and seven or eight others were still standing on one leg with their hands clasped behind their heads.
They had huge black eyes, and their legs were trembling. They hadn't slept all night—they'd been standing there all night!
It wasn't that they didn't want to leave!
They were just too scared of getting beaten up by Jiang Nan!
When they saw him, they greeted him in unison. "Good morning, Brother Nan!"
"Good morning, Brother Nan!"
Everyone's eyes instantly turned toward Jiang Nan...
So this bald guy was the boss?
Zhou Yuqing looked at Jiang Nan, her eyes already sparkling with admiration!
"Get lost, all of you! Standing around here first thing in the morning, making fools of yourselves!"
Jiang Nan snapped. Brother Nan, my ass!
Did I not have any dignity?
Baldy Qiang and the others looked like they'd been granted a pardon and hurried off.
"Brother Qiang! Are we just going to let this go?"
"How could we? Judging by that kid's moves, he's probably a Spirit Warrior too. I'll find someone to take him down!"
"That's my Brother Qiang!"
They made their way to the classroom. Jiang Nan had topped the rankings yesterday, so nobody made any snide remarks.
But no one thought he'd amount to much, either.
So what if he'd awakened the Strength Element? His talent was lousy. He'd fall behind sooner or later!
No one had ever seen an E-class talent rise to Silver or Gold rank!
Even Li Xiang and Li Muyan had black eyes. Clearly, neither of them had slept well these past couple of days.
During the morning's regular classes, Jiang Nan only half-listened...
He was great at his academic subjects, always ranking first in the class!
He'd worked hard to earn the money for his tuition. There was no reason not to pay attention, right?
Even Spirit Warriors had to study, didn't they?
But very few people thought like Jiang Nan...
For lunch, he had green beans stewed with potatoes in the cafeteria and polished off two big bowls!
He didn't know why, but it tasted a little strange. It usually didn't taste like that.
Then, something really did go wrong during afternoon class!
Halfway through the lesson, Li Xiang, who was sitting in the front row, turned deathly pale and clutched his stomach!
He was just about to raise his hand when he toppled to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth!
"What the hell is going on?"
"He's foaming at the mouth!"
"Holy crap! Could it be food poisoning? The green beans at lunch tasted a little weird!"
"I ate them too! My mom says green beans are poisonous if they're undercooked!"
Even the teacher panicked and hurriedly called to the students.
"Quick! Carry him to the infirmary!"
Just then, Jiang Nan's eyes lit up!
This was his chance! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He stood up and shouted, "Nobody move him!"
His yell left the whole class stunned.
What was going on?
"Jiang Nan, don't cause trouble! This is a matter of life and death!"
Li Muyan had finally found an opportunity to speak up. "Exactly! If you're doing this because of what happened yesterday, you're being petty!"
The sarcastic remarks blew past him. Jiang Nan didn't care and shot back, "What good will carrying him to the infirmary do?"
"This is food poisoning! He could go into shock at any moment!"
"By the time the ambulance gets here, it'll be too late! Why not let me try?"
Jiang Nan's righteous expression left both the teacher and the students dumbfounded.
Teacher: "Jiang Nan! You know how to treat people?"
Jiang Nan: "There's a patch of farmland with unusually dense spiritual energy behind my old home. The soybeans grown there can detoxify you!"
"They work really well!"
At that, the teacher and students looked doubtful. Ever since spiritual energy had returned to Earth, plants could mutate and develop all kinds of special properties.
But soybeans that could detoxify you? Could that be trusted?
"Why are you still hesitating? He'll be dead in a minute!"
Looking at Li Xiang convulsing in pain and foaming at the mouth, the teacher gritted his teeth. "Let's try it! If it doesn't work, we'll take him straight to the infirmary. Call an ambulance right now!"
Jiang Nan didn't waste any time. He immediately opened the Other Dimension Space, pretending to take the soybeans out of it.
In reality, he took the Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans out of his system!
He grabbed a pound, picked out a single bean, and fed it to Li Xiang.
Jiang Nan was certain these beans could detoxify him!
After all, drinking the Strength Potion had really made him stronger.
But the side effects...
Who knew what the side effects of these detoxifying beans would be!
Li Xiang!
You'll just have to put up with it!
We're classmates. You have to understand that I'm doing this for your sake!
I'm helping you! I'm trying to detoxify you!
It's for your own good!
Ahem...
I really don't have any other ideas!
Not even the slightest bit...
