Li Xiang, Li Xiang! You're really loud!

All the students' eyes focused on Li Xiang, who had eaten a "Detoxifying Small Yellow Bean."

They couldn't help but wonder.

Could those beans really cure poisoning?

And was Jiang Nan really being this kind?

After all, what happened yesterday had left the two of them on pretty bad terms!

They watched as Li Xiang's face, which had been turning blue and then white, became rosy within a few breaths.

He looked completely baffled!

What was going on? Had he just drooled all over himself in front of the whole class?

And had he been convulsing?

The teacher asked with concern, "Li Xiang, how do you feel? Is anything bothering you?"

Li Xiang wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth.

"I felt dizzy just now, and my stomach hurt like crazy! But now... now I'm fine!"

Not only was he fine, he felt refreshed and full of energy!

He could carry a whole sack of rice up several flights of stairs without breaking a sweat!

He even felt like having some Mala Tang!

Everyone's eyes shifted as they looked at Jiang Nan!

It really worked!

These beans were amazing!

The effect was immediate!

"Are you sure you're all right?"

"Yeah, I feel great! Just now..."

The teacher sighed with emotion. "You have Jiang Nan to thank for that. He saved you with those beans! Otherwise, the consequences could've been disastrous!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for South God, Brother Xiang would probably be lying in the hospital right now!"

Li Muyan looked awkward. Who would've thought the beans actually worked?

Li Xiang felt a little embarrassed.

He'd treated Jiang Nan so badly, and yet Jiang Nan had saved him. He'd repaid hostility with kindness...

"Th-thanks!"

Jiang Nan looked guilty!

"Ah... haha, it's nothing! We're classmates, after all! It's only right to look out for each other! Of course!"

What the hell?

What was going on?

Where were the side effects? Why was Li Xiang acting like nothing had happened?

Could the side effects vary from person to person?

"Damn, my stomach's starting to hurt too!"

"Those green beans we had for lunch were definitely poisonous!"

"What's the school going to do? I ate a ton of those beans at lunch!"

"My stomach's starting to hurt too... What do we do? I don't want to start drooling!"

The whole class erupted in anguished cries!

Seeing that things were getting serious, the teacher hurriedly said, "Jiang Nan, those beans of yours..."

Jiang Nan said generously, "Go ahead and take them, Teacher! We're all classmates. How could I stand by and watch them suffer?"

"Anyone with a stomachache should take one to cure it! Even if you don't have a stomachache, take one as a precaution!"

The teacher said, "Then let me thank you on behalf of the whole school!"

"South God really is the best!!!"

"You find out who your real friends are in a crisis!"

"Nothing else to say. I owe you one!"

The students all looked grateful, and they saw Jiang Nan in a whole new light.

He could've sold those beans for a good bit of money, couldn't he? His family was already struggling, yet he was still giving them away so generously...

The teacher distributed the beans, and everyone took one. Some thought that wasn't enough and ate three or five!

Just then, the teacher got a call from the principal, and his expression changed.

"It's not just our class. The other classes—and the whole school—have cases of food poisoning! They've confirmed it was the green beans!"

"Jiang Nan, what do you think..."

Jiang Nan said righteously, "Hand them out! Give them to everyone! We're all classmates. How could I watch them suffer?"

The teacher was visibly moved. "I'll go right away. There aren't many students with your kind of character these days! Everyone should look to Jiang Nan as an example!"

Under the students' admiring gazes, the teacher carried off a pound of beans.

The principal was panicking. A food-poisoning outbreak at school was a huge deal.

If the news got out, even a little, he'd lose his job as principal.

Then he heard from the teacher that Jiang Nan had donated beans that could cure the poisoning—and that they worked remarkably well!

Some students had already recovered after eating them, and were overcome with gratitude!

"What a good student! Give Jiang Nan a major commendation, and award him another spirit pearl this month!"

The beans were handed out in a flurry.

In the end, every student and teacher in the school ate one, and sure enough, all their discomfort disappeared. They felt refreshed and full of energy.

They'd made it through the crisis safely!

The principal sat in his office, drenched in sweat, and let out a long sigh of relief!

"Phew... We managed to contain it! I'll have to thank that kid Jiang Nan properly!"

Math class continued in the classroom!

But Jiang Nan frowned deeply.

The Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans he'd received as a consolation prize really were powerful!

Their effect was immediate!

But what about the side effects?

Could he be the only one who suffered them?

Was this system really that devious?

That couldn't be right! Zheng Wei had gone bald after drinking the Strength Potion, hadn't he?

But Li Xiang was completely fine. Jiang Nan had thought the effects differed from person to person!

Now the whole school had eaten the Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans...

If you cast a wide enough net, you were bound to see what happened.

But everything remained calm...

Jiang Nan thought he might have been overthinking it. Maybe they simply didn't have any side effects? Wouldn't that be great? He could just think of it as doing a good deed!

But just then, Jiang Nan's eyes widened. What was that kid Li Xiang up to?

Li Xiang's expression changed.

"Gurgle!"

His stomach rumbled. At first he managed to hold it in, but the longer he waited, the harder it became.

He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, then subtly lifted his hips.

"Pfft~"

The sound was very quiet. No one heard it.

But the students in the back row erupted.

They whispered to each other.

"Holy crap, why does it stink so much? Did you fart?"

"Get lost! I didn't! It stinks like hell!"

"It's a biological weapon!"

Li Xiang pretended to act completely normal. He couldn't let them figure out it was him.

Stay calm!

Stay calm!

Keep it together!

Let the storm rage around me; I'll stand firm as a mountain!

That fart!

It wasn't his!

But suddenly, that "gas" came surging out with incredible force!

"Bam!"

"Pop!"

He'd tried as hard as he could to hold it in, but couldn't!

After giving up and letting it rip, the double blast came out with tremendous force!

It made his chair tremble!

In an instant, the classroom fell as silent as the grave. Even the chalk in the teacher's hand snapped as he wrote on the board!

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Li Xiang!

That was loud!

A fart that rivaled a firecracker or a thunderclap—if you hadn't heard it, you'd have to be deaf.

A distinctive smell instantly spread throughout the classroom.

It was a sour-sweet smell, like unwashed socks left to pickle in a crock of sauerkraut for a whole year.

Potent!

Really potent!

Jiang Nan caught a whiff and nearly threw up! Holy crap, had this guy eaten pork-and-sauerkraut buns for breakfast?

That smell was unreal!

"It's not even New Year's yet! Who set off fireworks?"

"Bwaaagh~!!!"

"Th-this is a lot of pressure for Brother Xiang!"

"Li Xiang, Li Xiang! You're really damn loud!"

"That had to be over three megapascals!"

"Chair, are you okay? You've had a rough time!"

Li Xiang sat bolt upright, both hands clamped tightly over his thighs! His whole body was shaking, and his face was red as a monkey's backside.

The two girls sitting beside Li Xiang were already rolling their eyes and dry-heaving...

Jiang Nan covered his nose, feeling a surge of guilt!

Holy crap! Could the side effect of the Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans be...

Could it be...

I wasn't the one who gave you those beans!

The teacher made you eat them!

This has absolutely nothing to do with me, Jiang Nan!
