As the sky grew darker, more and more people began to fill Jiangnan's night market.
After Jiangnan's impassioned shouting,
he really did manage to attract quite a crowd.
Two young women passing by whispered to each other.
"Hey, hey! Isn't that the bald guy who slapped his face with a stool yesterday? He's setting up his stall again?"
"Oh, it really is him! He's kind of cute!"
"What, are you falling for him?"
"Of course not! Bald guys aren't my type. If he had hair, I'd definitely ask a fresh-faced, handsome guy like him for his WeChat!"
Jiangnan: "..."
System! Give me back my looks!
Ladies, I swear I didn't go bald on purpose...
A tall, handsome guy accompanying the two women rolled his eyes. "Let's enjoy ourselves tonight. Our team's going into the Spirit Ruins tomorrow!"
One of the women pouted. "You're always saying such a buzzkill thing. Come on! Let's go take a look!"
The tall guy said, "What's so great about a bald guy? He's not even as handsome as me!"
The three of them came to the stall to browse. The "cooling" underwear made the two women blush bright red...
Jiangnan had sharp eyes. When Zheng Wei bent over, he spotted a strip of red underwear peeking out above the back of his pants.
He grinned. "What's up, brother? Is this your Zodiac Year? You're even wearing red underwear!"
"The red underwear I sell never fades! Wear it with confidence! Ten yuan for two pairs!"
Zheng Wei's face darkened!
Where the hell are you looking?
[Zheng Wei's Resentment Points +666!]
The two women followed Jiangnan's gaze and naturally noticed the flash of red at Zheng Wei's waist. They burst out laughing!
"Hahaha, Zheng Wei! It really is your Zodiac Year! That red is so bright!"
"Wow, so flashy..."
"Listen to the boss and get a couple pairs! They don't fade! Wear them with confidence! Red underwear brings good luck in your Zodiac Year!"
Jiangnan chimed in, "Those two lovely ladies are right. Why not get a couple pairs?"
[Zheng Wei's Resentment Points +666!]
What, not as handsome as you?
This young master was devastatingly handsome when he had hair, okay?
A quick scan, and ten yuan was in the till.
Zheng Wei was brimming with resentment and had nowhere to vent it, so his eyes landed on the mineral water bottles at the stall.
He took a look and laughed.
"Farmer's Three Fists? What's that?"
Jiangnan perked right up!
"Brother, you wouldn't know! This is our ancestral Farmer's Three Fists. It's even a little sweet!"
"Drink one bottle and your strength increases tenfold! You'll only need three punches to take down your enemies!"
Zheng Wei's eye twitched!
What the hell? Farmer's Three Fists is a little sweet?
That bottle had clearly been opened, hadn't it?
And it was ancestral? Since when could mineral water be passed down through generations?
"Waiter, bring me a bottle of 1982 mineral water! That's the stuff, the real deal!"
"Boss, are you trying to scam people? This is just water, isn't it?" Zheng Wei said with a scoff.
The two women were also dumbfounded. Ancestral mineral water? That's incredible, that's incredible!
Jiangnan glared. "What the heck? You don't believe me?"
As he spoke, he picked up a red brick from the side of the road and smashed it hard against his own forehead.
The young women paled with fright. "Ah!!! He—"
Before she could finish, the brick snapped in two with a loud crack against Jiangnan's forehead.
Zheng Wei: "..."
The young women: "..."
Did people selling things at street stalls have to be this committed?
"Do you believe me now?"
Jiangnan picked up another red brick and smashed it. The loud cracks made everyone watching shiver...
"Before I drank Farmer's Three Fists, I could barely climb into bed. Now I can split bricks with my head and tear manhole covers apart with my bare hands!"
"So, do you believe me?"
As he spoke, he raised the brick and smashed it against his forehead again.
Zheng Wei hurried to stop him. "Brother, don't do that... Brother!"
"I'll buy it... I'll buy it, okay?"
"How much?"
Jiangnan wiped the brick dust from his forehead and grinned. "It's not expensive! Ten thousand a bottle!"
Zheng Wei almost choked on his own spit!
He exclaimed, "Ten thousand? Your ancestral mineral water's a bit pricey!"
Jiangnan shrugged. "It works great!"
The two women got interested and egged him on:
"Zheng Wei, just try it! It's not like you can't afford ten thousand!"
"Exactly! He's splitting bricks with his head and everything. He's working so hard!"
Seeing how expectantly the two women were looking at him, Zheng Wei could only give in!
Sigh! I'll just think of it as paying to see a unique skill!
Ten thousand yuan came through on WeChat.
Jiangnan quickly called out, "Wait a minute, brother. You still owe me one yuan!"
Zheng Wei stared at him in disbelief. "Wasn't it ten thousand? How do I still owe you?"
Jiangnan answered as if it were obvious. "You think red bricks are free? Each one costs fifty cents!"
[Zheng Wei's Resentment Points +666!]
You're making me pay for the bricks you smashed?
What a business! You're not losing a penny!
"Just you wait. You'll see if this stuff doesn't work!"
Without another word, Zheng Wei twisted open the Farmer's Three Fists and chugged it straight from the bottle under the two women's expectant gazes.
"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!"
In an instant, a wild surge of power erupted from within Zheng Wei, turning his face bright red!
"Holy crap! Holy crap, it's real!"
Zheng Wei's eyes were filled with excitement. He was already a Bronze Two-Star Strength-Type Awakener.
With his strength boosted tenfold, it reached a terrifying level.
He clenched his fist slightly, and the air itself seemed to explode!
"Boss! It really works! Your ancestral mineral water is incredible!"
Now their team's trip into the Spirit Ruins tomorrow would be even safer!
Jiangnan gave an awkward smile. "Yeah, yeah! As long as it works, that's what matters. Would I scam you?"
But the two women stood there with their mouths hanging open!
"Zh... Zheng Wei! You're bald!"
"You really are bald! Hahaha, I can't take it, that shiny bald head!"
"It's brighter than a streetlamp!"
The two women laughed so hard they doubled over, tears streaming from their eyes.
Zheng Wei ran a hand over his head!
Oh, shit!
The night breeze blew past, and his scalp felt icy cold!
He really was bald...
[Zheng Wei's Resentment Points +999!] [Zheng Wei's Resentment Points...]
The system's Resentment Points kept climbing at a crazy rate. In no time, they'd topped ten thousand...
Zheng Wei exploded with rage. "Boss, you're messing with me! Where's my hair?"
Jiangnan patted Zheng Wei on the shoulder. "Come on, brother. Don't get hung up on the details!"
Hahaha!
What goes around comes around!
Who could escape the curse of baldness?
"Details? I'll kill you, you son of a—!" Zheng Wei's eyes reddened, but the two women stopped him right there.
"Come on, you look pretty good bald!"
"Besides, the boss didn't lie to you. Farmer's Three Fists really does work..."
"Pfft—hahahaha... Let me laugh a little longer. I can't take it!"
Jiangnan winked at the two women and grinned. "Looks like I'm the more handsome one after all, huh?"
The young woman snorted. "Pfft... You're handsome! Way more handsome!"
"Then how about we add each other on WeChat?"
"Sure!"
The three of them left. Zheng Wei's dejected figure looked especially forlorn.
His gleaming bald head reflected the streetlights, while the two women kept laughing without pause...
Just then, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class sped over and stopped at the entrance to the night market.
A girl in a white dress and sunhat got out of the front passenger seat.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, like a snow lotus blooming beneath the night sky, though a hint of nervousness lingered in her lovely eyes.
A beautiful woman wearing a jacket and shorts got out of the driver's seat, showing off a pair of long, shapely legs.
"Come on, Yingxue, don't worry. You've been watching that video of the bald guy all day. Is he really the younger brother you met at the orphanage?"
Zhong Yingxue said earnestly, "It has to be him! I wouldn't mistake him."
"Then let's go! What are you afraid of? He's definitely still here! I'll come with you and help you find him!"
As she spoke, she took Zhong Yingxue's arm and headed toward the night market.
