Jiang Nan, lying in bed, browsed Weibo for a while longer.

He realized that at some point, his follower count had passed thirty thousand!

And three people had even marked him as a special follow!

One was called "Listen to Snow." No need to guess—that had to be Zhong Yingxue!

Then there was the one called "Lone Wolf on a Moonlit Night"...

Sister Xia Yao, please listen!

Could you stop being such a chuuni?

And then there was Xu Yuan, that streamer. He'd sent Jiang Nan a private message: "Bro, why didn't you set up your stall today? Did the well in your backyard dry up?"

Jiang Nan: "..."

He replied casually, "I'll be there tomorrow. Remember to come by! I'll teach you how to kick a durian."

[Resentment Points from Xu Yuan +888!]

Hmph! You think you can mess with me?

After thinking it over, Jiang Nan changed his Weibo name to:

"I'm Too South"

Then he posted his very first Weibo.

I'm Too South

One minute ago, from iPhone 11 Pro Max

Go ahead and open it if you've got the guts!

Hmph ╯^╰, so you do have guts!

P.S. New goal! First place in the school year!

Before long, the replies started piling up:

"What a waste of my feelings! Stall Owner, you have no heart!"

"Damn, I knew he was a student!"

"Hey, handsome! Why didn't you come today? I missed you so much!"

"I drove 250 kilometers to Jiang Nan Night Market today because I wanted to buy a bottle of Strength Potion! And then you didn't show up!"

Listen to Snow: "Xiao Nan, keep it up!"

Lone Wolf on a Moonlit Night: "?(????) I'm pinching your cheeks!"

Jiang Nan beamed.

This was the first time he'd truly wanted to do something.

For himself, and for Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, too!

After putting his phone away, Jiang Nan had been ready to sleep.

But who could've guessed that all the dogs in the neighborhood would go wild!

In the middle of the night, they made all kinds of strange, wailing noises!

The culprit was Wangcai, Grandpa Wang's dog!

Guoguo, Zhou Yuqing's dog, had only been the start of Wangcai's happy life!

After winning over Guoguo, Wangcai wasted no time!

He went straight to Granny Liu's house and set his sights on a big wolfhound named Lucky!

The whole night! There wasn't a moment of peace!

Wangcai visited all 108 households and conquered every female dog in the village!

Then, early the next morning, quite a few people showed up at Grandpa Wang's door.

"Uncle Wang, you've got to do something about Wangcai! My Tutu was making the most seductive noises last night!"

"Tell me about it! The three of us didn't sleep a wink..."

"Wangcai... Wangcai's way too much!"

A woman nudged her husband.

"Take a look at Wangcai, then take a look at yourself! You're useless! Why don't you learn a thing or two from him?"

Her husband: "???"

Grandpa Wang was just as bewildered. What was going on?

Just then, Wangcai came strolling leisurely down the alley!

More than a dozen female dogs followed behind him, from a huge Tibetan mastiff to a tiny Chihuahua! They were all shapes and sizes!

The sheer variety was astonishing!

Wangcai led his pack of female dogs from house to house!

The corners of his mouth lifted into the Shiba Inu's trademark smile!

The male dogs were furious, barking furiously at Wangcai!

The more they barked, the harder Wangcai wagged his tail!

That had to be the pinnacle of a dog's life!

Jiang Nan secretly gave him a thumbs-up!

Wangcai! You're the man!

The potency of Spiritual Energy Leeks made Jiang Nan's heart flutter.

Should he make himself a plate of chive and egg stir-fry?

So far, Wangcai didn't seem to be showing any unusual signs!

But when Jiang Nan remembered the Strength Potion and Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans, he shuddered!

He'd better watch for a couple more days!

By evening, Jiang Nan showed up at Jiangcheng Night Market right on schedule!

Besides ten bottles of "Farmer's Three Fists," there was now a bag of "Detoxifying Small Yellow Beans" on the stall cloth!

He hadn't brought out the Spiritual Energy Leeks yet. He'd decided to figure out their side effects first...

As soon as he opened for business, all ten bottles of Farmer's Three Fists sold out. The Strength Potion's popularity had exceeded Jiang Nan's expectations!

With Xu Yuan's promotion and the buzz building on Weibo, business was booming!

To his surprise, Baldy Qiang and Brother Scar still hadn't given up!

They'd actually found someone else to come after him! At least this time, they hadn't brought as many people...

The two of them followed behind a burly man, grinning ingratiatingly.

The man wore a black short-sleeved shirt and tight jeans!

He was nearly two meters tall, with muscles that looked chiseled from stone!

His bronzed skin and short buzz cut gave him an intensely intimidating presence!

And he didn't look very old.

"Last time I came by, he didn't show up again! Are you sure he'll be here today?"

Brother Scar assured him, "Don't worry, Young Master Wu! We've checked everything out!"

Baldy Qiang chuckled. "Young Master Wu, we're counting on you this time!"

Wu Liang cracked his knuckles and grinned. "If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll think there's no one left in our group!"

When they reached the stall, he froze. "Holy crap! South God?"

Wu Liang was stunned!

He went to Jiangcheng No. 1 High School too. How could he not know Jiang Nan?

He never expected those two underlings to be talking about Jiang Nan!

A fierce grin spread across his face.

Damn it!

Jiang Nan had broken the testing machine during last month's assessment!

That meant Wu Liang hadn't even gotten to take the test!

Otherwise, how could the people in Spiritual Martial Class One have strutted around like they owned the place?

This was the perfect chance to knock Jiang Nan down a peg!

He'd show Jiang Nan who the real top dog at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School was!

He strode over to the stall!

Jiang Nan suddenly felt a shadow fall over him. He looked up and saw the trio: Wu Liang, Brother Scar, and Baldy Qiang!

He knew right away they'd come to give him trouble.

"Hey! I'm Wu Liang from Class Two. I came to find you today because—"

Before Wu Liang could finish, someone suddenly called out.

"Holy crap! Bro, I've been waiting forever for you! It's Zheng Wei!"

Jiang Nan paused and raised a hand. "You three, wait a minute..."

Wu Liang: "..."

Brother Scar: "..."

Baldy Qiang: "..."

Wait a minute?

We came here to cause trouble!

You can't just tell us to wait!

[Resentment Points from Wu Liang +888!] [Resentment Points from Brother Scar +666!]

Just then, Zheng Wei, who was bald, came over with two young women!

The two women looked at Wu Liang curiously, and he lowered his head slightly...

"Jingjing, that guy's so tall and muscular!"

"Isn't that exactly your type?"

"Oh, stop it..."

Wu Liang found himself unable to start a fight. He just looked at Jiang Nan with a cold grin, thinking about how he'd deal with him later!

Zheng Wei was overjoyed to see Jiang Nan!

He rushed up and gave him a huge bear hug. Jiang Nan was a little stunned, too!

"Bro! You have no idea! After drinking your Farmer's Three Fists, I totally took off on this Spirit Ruins run!"

"The haul was insane! Haha!"

"That's right! We came by yesterday, but couldn't find you!" one of the young women said sweetly.

"I've been thinking about you so much these past few days that I couldn't eat or sleep!"

Wu Liang's face darkened!

"Jiang Nan! I came here today to—"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Jiang Nan impatiently waved him off...

Holy crap! We came here to beat you up!

Could you show our profession a little respect?

Give us a little face, would you?

You're making this really awkward for us!
