Everything Was Under Control

Watching the Resentment Points list refresh like crazy.

Jiang Nan was utterly baffled!

I kindly sent all of you the answers!

So why are you resenting me?

Mom! These people are so weird!

They don't know how to repay kindness at all.

For the third math exam, Jiang Nan still answered with ease!

After quickly finishing his paper, he would occasionally glance sideways to admire Little Strawberry...

Uh...

No!

He was helping the teachers keep an eye on the students during the exam!

Before long, Wang Ping was sweating profusely, completely out of options!

Even if Jiang Nan was a bit of a scammer!

It was still better than answering on his own!

When Wang Ping looked at the test paper, the questions knew him! He didn't know the questions!

Jiang Nan opened the little note and took a look.

Oh?

Getting clever, huh!

There was a clear "3" written on the note...

He had even thoughtfully included the question number.

Watching Wang Yiping wipe his sweat frantically, Jiang Nan couldn't bear it anymore!

He picked up his pen and started writing!

Wang Ping anxiously opened Jiang Nan's reply as soon as he received it!

The moment he focused his eyes on it, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

The note clearly read:

"If three are long and one is short, pick the shortest!"

"If three are short and one is long, pick the longest!"

"If they're about the same length, pick C!"

"Trust South God, and you'll definitely be safe!"

"If you don't get full marks, you're not human!"

Wang Ping stared wide-eyed at Jiang Nan!

Fuck me!

Was this an acrostic poem?

Or a catchy rhyme?

What I wanted was A, B, C, D, E, F, G!

South God! I fucking kneel before you—please, can you stop showing off?

The talent overflowing from that paper nearly blinded my dog eyes!

Jiang Nan wore an utterly certain expression!

He secretly gave Wang Ping a thumbs-up!

[Resentment Points from Wang Ping +1000!]

[Resentment Points from Wang Ping...]

Exam Room No. 2!

Wu Liang's mountain-like, muscular body sat in the middle of the classroom!

His expression was savage as he stared fixedly at the questions before him!

He was sweating like rain, veins bulging!

Then he looked at his answer sheet!

He had only written his damn name!

Meanwhile...

A Wuling Hongguang minivan was parked outside the school!

At that moment, the van was unbelievably lively!

Inside were seven or eight burly men, bare-chested with fierce faces, Over-the-shoulder Dragons on their shoulders and Mountain Tigers across their chests!

At that moment, every one of them was staring at a laptop!

The image on the screen was Wu Liang's test paper!

The footage was being transmitted live through the glasses Wu Liang wore!

The red scarf on his forehead was a high-frequency antenna!

Even the school's signal blockers were useless against it.

The burly men looked frantic as they clutched scratch paper and calculated like mad!

The bald man said, "Damn it, Old Wang, hurry up and solve it! Brother Wu is waiting!"

The man with the Mountain Tiger tattoo snapped, "Why the hell are you rushing me? This problem is fucking hard!"

"Aren't you a college graduate? You can't solve high school problems?"

"Fuck! I graduated years ago! What the fuck are tan and cos? My head's about to explode! Is this really a high school problem?"

"Can you even do it? It's been an hour! They'll be collecting the papers soon!"

"Quit holding back, damn it! Hurry up and find some backup!"

"My son's a postdoc—I'll call him!"

"Old Liu! Isn't your daughter a high school math teacher? Hurry up and call someone! What the hell are you standing around for?"

Passersby glanced through the van windows!

Seeing seven or eight big men crammed into the van, sweating profusely, man on top of man, their expressions changed at once and they hurried away.

Then they sighed!

Sigh!

What was the world coming to?

Sitting in the classroom, Wu Liang was nearly grinding his steel teeth to pieces!

There were only three minutes left before the papers were collected!

Listening to the curses and chaotic noise coming through his earpiece!

Wu Liang felt like his head was about to explode!

His iron fist slammed viciously into the desk!

Bang!

Then he roared:

"Damn it, hurry the hell up!"

The sudden boom and furious shout echoed through the silent examination room!

It could even be heard throughout the entire floor!

The students nearby jolted in fright, and one of the proctors nearly pissed himself!

He sprayed a mouthful of tea all over the student in front of him...

Student: ???

Mm...

Longjing tea from West Lake!

In an instant, countless eyes turned toward Wu Liang.

He immediately realized something was wrong!

He was about to be screwed! He absolutely couldn't expose himself!

If he got exposed, how the hell was he supposed to rank in the top three?

He scratched his head, looking troubled. "Th-this... why can't I solve it?"

One proctor wiped the podium, his expression calm. "Student! Maintain silence!"

Another proctor even patted Wu Liang on the shoulder and comforted him. "It's okay. If you don't do well this time, there's always next time!"

Wu Liang's roar was heard even inside the minivan outside the school!

"Brother Wu! We got it, we got it! Fill it in, quick!"

At that moment, Wu Liang's eyes bulged wide, every muscle in his body twisting together like steel cables!

He grabbed his pen and wrote furiously, his arm and wrist moving so fast they left afterimages!

He actually finished the paper before the bell rang!

Then he dashed out of the school building like the wind, climbed over the wall, and reached the outside of the school!

He threw open the van door and charged inside!

The Wuling Hongguang shook violently!

Three minutes later, Wu Liang emerged looking thoroughly refreshed!

He left behind only seven or eight bruised and battered burly men making phone calls. "Hello! Daughter? Hurry over! Save your dad!"

"Hello! Son! Get over here, quick! Your dad's counting on you today!"

Jiang Nan, who had gone to the restroom, ran into Wu Liang and asked with a smile, "How'd the morning exam go? Smoothly?"

Wu Liang wore a solemn expression and patted his chest. "Don't worry, Brother Nan! Everything's under control!"

"Oh? Not bad! Hahaha!" Jiang Nan was rather pleased. Looks like all that studying hadn't gone to waste!

Wu Liang: ...

How could he possibly fail?

Half the underworld in River City had been answering the questions for him from behind!

As for the results of his studying?

Wu Liang had confirmed one thing!

Brother Nan had been right!

His head really was full of muscles!

And just like that, a full day of exams passed. After school, Wu Liang and Jiang Nan walked home together!

They were in great spirits!

The exams had finally been muddled through somehow!

Wu Liang was incredibly confident now!

The written exams were over!

Next came the Spirit Ruins practical assessment!

"Brother Nan! We're heading to Changbai Mountain tomorrow afternoon! What kind of gear are you using? I'll get it for you!"

Jiang Nan blinked. "What gear?"

Only then did Wu Liang remember that Jiang Nan had never been to a Spirit Ruins, so he explained:

"The spirit beasts in the Spirit Ruins are extremely dangerous. They're nothing like what we have outside!"

"Most Spirit Warriors choose a cold weapon for self-defense! It makes killing spirit beasts and protecting yourself much more convenient!"

"We'll be there for fifteen days this time! It's probably going to be pretty rough, and we'll need to prepare plenty of food, clothes, and other supplies!"

"We also need to bring some wilderness survival gear. Have you prepared any, Brother Nan? Bring whatever you want! I'll carry your bag when the time comes! I'm strong!"

Jiang Nan rolled his eyes. "Carry what bag? I'm a walking luggage bag! Did you forget what I do? As for supplies, I really haven't prepared anything."

Wu Liang froze!

Holy shit!

South God was a Space Element user!

How had he forgotten that?

With Other Dimension Space, there were far too many possibilities!

"Come on, Brother Nan! Let's go to my place! Take whatever you need—I've got everything there!"

As he spoke, Wu Liang slung an arm around Jiang Nan's shoulders and changed direction!

Jiang Nan smiled. "Perfect, I've got something for you too! You'll definitely like it!"

A group of schoolgirls heading home watched Jiang Nan walking arm in arm with someone, their eyes gleaming behind their glasses.

"See? What did I tell you?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a waste of such a handsome guy like Jiang Nan!"

"What's a waste about it? Hmph! This girl will set him straight!"

"Hehehe~ Xiao Bei, are you finally making a move on Jiang Nan?"

"If I don't make a move soon, someone else will snatch him away! Where else am I supposed to find such a handsome guy?"
