Does the hospital's Wi-Fi work fast?

He made his way back to his little nest, locking the 28-inch bicycle to the old locust tree by the door.

The twenty-five-square-meter rental wasn't big, but Jiangnan had it tidied up neatly.

Under the bed, there were still piles of street-vendor goods he'd bought.

Ignoring his growling stomach, Jiangnan pulled the curtains shut, focused his mind, and the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit dropped into his hand.

Staring at the red, plum-like fruit in his palm, Jiangnan swallowed hard.

"What's there to be afraid of! I've got nothing to lose anyway!"

With that, he gulped down the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit in one bite.

It dissolved on his tongue...

And then—nothing!

Nothing!

Where was the promised marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing?

Even eating a plum would leave a bit of sweetness, right?

But after five minutes, Jiangnan suddenly felt his perception of spiritual energy sharpen, and it began surging wildly toward his body.

In no time, his cultivation was pushed straight to Black Iron Seven Stars!

Jiangnan could feel it—his talent had truly been upgraded!

He didn't know what level it had reached, but it definitely wasn't E-class anymore.

His heart raced with excitement!

His hands were trembling!

Snapping back to reality, Jiangnan quickly patted himself down to check if anything was missing.

Thankfully, no parts were gone!

After drinking the Strength Potion, he'd ended up bald.

Who knew what side effects this Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit might have.

Still uneasy, Jiangnan stripped completely naked and inspected himself inch by inch.

Just as he was checking the most important area—

"Brother Jiangnan, you came back so late—you must not have eaten, right?"

"I made you a bowl of noodles..."

The door swung open, and a fresh-faced girl in a floral dress with a ponytail stood there holding a bowl of noodles, looking lovely.

What met her eyes was Jiangnan frozen in place!

A flash of pure white.

His hands were still trembling from the excitement...

The girl's mouth fell open. She glanced at Jiangnan, then at the crumpled tissues in the trash can...

A sudden realization dawned on her!

Her pretty face flushed bright red.

"Bang!" She slammed the door shut.

"The... the noodles are by the door. Eat them when Brother Jiangnan is done!"

Jiangnan: "???"

Hey, hey, hey!

What do you mean, "eat them when I'm done"?

Are you misunderstanding something?

Do you think I was doing something weird?

Before Jiangnan could explain, the girl had already run off, face red.

The noodles were pretty good, just a little salty...

Don't ask—the taste of tears!

He'd have to explain later when he had the chance. She was the landlord's daughter, after all, and they went to the same high school, so it'd be easy to get in touch.

Calming down, Jiangnan began studying the system carefully.

He checked the Resentment Points—over one hundred and ten thousand.

From beating Wang Lin to a pulp, he'd raked in a fortune, and Li Muyan had contributed a fair share too.

Enough for another Ten Consecutive Draws!

If he could pull another Marrow Cleansing Fruit or something, wouldn't that be amazing?

[Lucky Roulette! Ten Consecutive Draws begin!]

[Thank you for your patronage!] Consolation prize: one Strength Potion!

[Thank you for your patronage!]...

After a full ten rounds, Jiangnan's face had turned black!

Blacker than a coal miner's.

Thank your sister for your patronage? Why the hell would "Thank you for your patronage" even be an option on the Lucky Roulette?

Was it because his head was bald?

His inventory now had ten more "bottles" of Strength Potion.

Wait!

He could set up a stall and sell Strength Potion!

Sure, drinking it would make you bald, but who could resist the power of miracles?

He could even rake in some Resentment Points on the side!

Nice!

Decision made, Jiangnan lay on his bed and pulled out the Domestic Divine Machine he'd bought for fifty bucks at a street stall.

He planned to scroll through his phone for a bit and then sleep.

But then he stumbled onto the Spiritual Martial Class One WeChat group.

The group was buzzing.

"Hey! Bros and sisters, have you seen the video on Weibo of the Jiangcheng Night Market Bald Guy beating up a Spiritual Martial University student? Over 400,000 views!"

"What's the deal? Send it over!"

Soon enough, someone posted a short video.

In the video, Bald Jiangnan, wearing a Hello Kitty t-shirt, sat straddling Wang Lin.

He was swinging a Small Stool in a frenzy!

"Holy crap! This bald guy's that fierce?"

"That screaming's brutal! I can feel the pain through the screen!"

"The guy getting beaten, if I'm not mistaken, is a Bronze-level Strength Element Spirit Warrior, right?"

"This bald guy doesn't look that big, but he's strong enough to crush him, and he's out here running a street stall?"

"Masters hide among the people!"

Jiangnan snickered behind his screen, not expecting someone had filmed him.

But the footage was blurry—this guy had shaky hands!

"Hey, doesn't this bald guy kind of look like our classmate Jiangnan?"

"Him? Give it a rest, he's so weak, could he take down a Bronze-level Strength awakener?"

"True, three years of high school and he only got to Black Iron Three Stars! Wasting the spirit beads they gave him every month! And he's Space Element, pfft!"

"After tomorrow's monthly exam, he won't be our classmate anymore!"

"Good riddance in advance!"

"Good riddance, good riddance!"

Watching the group chatter back and forth, Jiangnan said nothing, just sneered coldly.

Tomorrow? Jiangnan had no plans to leave!

They could all wait to have their jaws drop!

"Hold on, isn't that Li Muyan from our class helping the beaten guy leave at the end of the video?"

"Wait? It really is her!"

"I did hear she's dating a guy from Spiritual Martial University!"

"@Li Muyan, what's the deal, Sister Yan?"

"@Li Muyan, how'd the fight start? Spill it?"

"@Li Muyan, is your boyfriend okay!"

[Resentment Points from Li Muyan +555]

The system kept refreshing with Li Muyan's Resentment Points.

Jiangnan was overjoyed! He suddenly felt his classmates were way too adorable—clearly, this girl was watching the group too!

How could she not be pissed? She was still at the hospital with Wang Lin getting stitches...

So Jiangnan posted one too.

South God: "@Li Muyan, the hospital wifi must be super fast, right? I really envy you guys who can leech off the network! My data's almost gone..."

[Resentment Points from Li Muyan +999]

Was I there to leech off the network?

Can you be any more of a jerk?

Who did it doesn't have a damn clue in their head!

From start to finish, she didn't say a word, but the system's Resentment Points kept refreshing.

They kept refreshing until Jiangnan fell asleep...

When a woman holds a grudge... tsk tsk tsk.

The next day, in a great mood, Jiangnan had just stepped out when he ran into the landlord's daughter, backpack on, ready for school.

"Yuqing little sis, about yesterday I..."

Zhou Yuqing glanced at Jiangnan, her pretty face flushing red again.

Shyly, she said, "Brother Jiangnan, you should still rest early at night and take better care of yourself!"

With that, her ponytail swinging, she ran off—and fast too.

Jiangnan wanted to cry but had no tears: "Am I never going to live this down..."

Little sis, listen to your big bro!

Bro's really not that kind of person.

Bro was just getting a checkup, and what was in the trash was tissue with snot!

Wearing a cap to cover his bald head, Jiangnan rode his 28-inch bicycle, with a "clack-clack" accompaniment all the way to Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.

The monthly exam was about to start!
