No matter how carefully Jiang Nan had planned...
He still hadn't escaped the system's cut...
It had forcibly charged him a Stall Fee!
He checked the Skills section again!
[Skill: Hand-to-Hand Combat (Mastered): Lv. 1]
[Skill: Brick Smashing: Lv. 0]
Jiang Nan was stunned!
Brick Smashing counted as a skill too?
Could it be any less reliable?
How much could you do with a brick, anyway?
Looks like he'd learned it when he'd brained that burly man with a brick! He'd learned it in an instant!
He looked at his more than a thousand Skill Points!
Hmm! Now that was what you called rich!
"Max it out!"
[100 Skill Points deducted!]
[Skill: Brick Smashing (Mastered): Lv. 0]
In an instant, a flood of information poured into his mind.
Jiang Nan had been wrong!
It really was possible to do all sorts of things with a red brick!
Holy crap! Brick Smashing! This was a profound art!
Jiang Nan didn't waste the remaining Skill Points, either!
He dumped them all into Hand-to-Hand Combat!
[Hand-to-Hand Combat (Mastered): Lv. 91!]
Jiang Nan froze!
It hadn't leveled up? To advance Hand-to-Hand Combat beyond Mastered, it took 10 Skill Points per level!
Have you no shame? Couldn't you have warned him in advance?
Now he had a measly three Skill Points left!
Seething with resentment, Jiang Nan drifted off to sleep!
The next morning, Jiang Nan got up early and was brushing his teeth in the courtyard when he heard a commotion in the alley.
He had a hunch, so he hurriedly changed and went outside.
A Koenigsegg Blue Ghost was parked at the entrance to the alley!
Xia Yao wore sunglasses and light-colored skinny jeans that showed off her long legs to perfection!
She still had on that cool denim jacket and cropped tank top, with a white beret hiding her short silver hair!
She was peering into the alley.
The old men and women in the alley were still watching the spectacle, and even Zhou Yuqing was there!
"That young woman is gorgeous! And what a nice car!"
"My son says that car costs a fortune!"
"Looks like she's waiting for someone?"
"Who'd she be waiting for around here? Maybe she's lost..."
Zhou Yuqing watched curiously, just as Jiang Nan came out.
"Brother Jiang Nan? Where are you going? You don't have class today, do you?"
Jiang Nan smiled. "I'm meeting a friend. I've got something to take care of!"
Zhou Yuqing was about to say something when Xia Yao, leaning against the sports car, spotted Jiang Nan and waved excitedly!
"Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan! Over here!"
Jiang Nan: "..."
He'd seen her!
How could he not? Her legs were practically stabbing him in the eyes!
Zhou Yuqing's mouth fell open in surprise! Had this beautiful older sister come to see Brother Jiang Nan?
Watching Jiang Nan wave as he walked away, Zhou Yuqing knitted her brows. When had he met someone so rich?
Then why was he still renting a place?
Would he suddenly move away? If he did, would she still have any reason to see him?
A young girl's mind was always full of questions.
She was finding Jiang Nan harder and harder to understand...
The older men and women were stunned, too. She'd come to see Jiang Nan?
Jiang Nan looked exasperated. "Sister Xia Yao! Didn't you say we were supposed to keep a low profile? You brought the Blue Ghost..."
A Blue Ghost worth more than eleven million!
Xia Yao grinned and ruffled Jiang Nan's hair. After a few days, black stubble had already grown back.
He'd gotten a buzz cut! It felt great to run your hand over it!
He looked sharp and clean!
They said a buzz cut was the ultimate test of a handsome man. As a fresh-faced kind of handsome, Jiang Nan had passed with flying colors!
"I'm already being low-key enough, okay? If I'd brought the G-Class, your sister would've noticed! I agonized over it for ages before picking the little Blue!"
Agonized?
And she had that many options?
So she had more than one car?
Jiang Nan said earnestly, "Sister Xia Yao, I don't want to work hard anymore!"
[+333 Resentment Points from Xia Yao!]
"Quit flattering yourself. Get in!"
As the old men and women watched, the gull-wing door opened, and Jiang Nan climbed inside!
With the roar of the engine, the Blue Ghost sped off.
The alley road was uneven!
Jiang Nan heard the undercarriage scraping as they drove, and it broke his heart!
Xia Yao didn't care at all. Instead, she asked excitedly, "Come on, tell me your plan!"
Jiang Nan smirked. "Where's Luo Tianxiang now?"
"Probably at home! He'll head to the Luo Tian Building later. I've already checked everything out for you!"
Jiang Nan said, "Let's roll! We'll go to his place first!"
"Your humble servant obeys!" Xia Yao was already completely in character!
Outside the Haitian Villa Area, Jiang Nan sat in the car and pulled out his phone to order food!
Xia Yao leaned over curiously to look. "Get me a portion of buns, too. All meat!"
As she spoke, she handed Jiang Nan a brand-new iPhone 11.
Jiang Nan froze.
"What are you staring at? It's for you! I told you last time I'd get you a new one!"
Jiang Nan sighed. "It feels great not having to work hard!"
[+666 Resentment Points from Xia Yao!]
Xia Yao's pretty face turned red!
But she refused to back down. Leaning close to Jiang Nan's ear, she blew gently and whispered, "Your big sister's got a cushy life to offer. Want a taste?"
Jiang Nan replied with righteous indignation, "What a coincidence! My teeth are bad, so I can't chew anything hard!"
Xia Yao rolled her eyes. She was completely beaten by Jiang Nan!
"You're such a little rascal! Your sister said that when you were little, you'd even reach into rat holes and rummage around!"
"I didn't believe her! Now I do..."
Jiang Nan had no defense!
Because he really had done that!
Not long after, a delivery guy from Starving arrived and stood outside the villa area, looking utterly lost!
Jiang Nan hurriedly got out of the car and called to him. "I'm the one who ordered!"
The delivery guy was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Were people who drove Koenigseggs really this unpredictable?
Xia Yao hadn't paid him any attention at first!
But then she saw Jiang Nan say something to the guy with a grin and slip him five hundred yuan!
Then the delivery guy started taking off his clothes...
Xia Yao stared. "Th-this is broad daylight!"
Then she saw Jiang Nan put on the Starving uniform, pull on a baseball cap, cover his face with a mask, and get back in the car!
Xia Yao patted her chest. Thank goodness she'd just been overthinking it!
Back in the car, Jiang Nan tossed Xia Yao her portion of buns...
"Wait, you didn't order breakfast to eat?"
"Of course not! What respectable young person eats breakfast these days?"
Xia Yao stared at the buns in her arms...
[+888 Resentment Points from Xia Yao!]
"Don't show your face later, okay?"
The Koenigsegg Blue Ghost roared all the way toward the Haitian Villa Area.
It left behind a delivery guy in nothing but a tank top and shorts, standing there in stunned confusion!
Were rich people always this eccentric these days?
Naturally, everyone who could afford to live in the villa area was rich. When the security guards saw the car, they didn't even stop it!
They were admiring the Blue Ghost's graceful lines when the car door opened!
Jiang Nan got out wearing a Starving uniform and carrying an insulated delivery bag.
The guard was dumbstruck. "Even delivery guys are this flashy now?"
Did a delivery like that even cover the gas?
