S-Class Equipment Coupon

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the task of comforting Flame. You have received one special item: Teleportation Talisman. ]

[ Note: Teleportation Talisman. Consumable item. Can instantly move up to 500 meters. ]

On a battlefield, being able to teleport out of danger was equivalent to having an extra life.

If it had not been a system reward, Jiang Chen would never have comforted someone he did not know.

Besides, this guy had been openly hostile toward Jiang Chen from the very beginning.

Yet in everyone else's eyes, Jiang Chen's image had grown much taller.

This was the Supernatural Ability Academy, where the strong were revered and the weak were treated like ants.

No one cared about the weak.

And Jiang Chen was probably the first person in the school to take the initiative to comfort a loser.

That comfort silently touched a corner of many hearts.

It suddenly made many people feel warm.

As if they had reached an unspoken agreement, everyone began calling Jiang Chen's name!

"Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Chen did not feel much about everyone's cheers. At that moment, all his attention was fixed on one person.

No, it should have been called a demon.

"I apologize to you on Flame's behalf. He was rash. Flame heard that your flames defeated an S-Class Demonic Beast. He thinks he's the strongest, so he came to challenge you."

Flame was the name of the fire guy.

When he saw Nie Xiaoqian, he lowered his voice and said, "Senior Sister, I was wrong. You don't need to apologize for me. I simply wasn't as skilled as him."

Nie Xiaoqian wore the blue-and-white uniform of the school's advanced class, along with a miniskirt that revealed her slender, long legs.

Coupled with her gentle, harmless voice, she immediately drew people in.

If Jiang Chen had not already known Nie Xiaoqian's identity, he probably would have taken a few extra looks at such a beauty too.

But Nie Xiaoqian did not respond to Flame. Instead, she walked up to Jiang Chen and asked, "Jiang Chen, can you accept my apology?"

As she spoke, she extended her hand.

"You don't need to be so polite!"

"We're all classmates."

Jiang Chen did not touch Nie Xiaoqian. He had originally wanted to make a move, but with so many students around him, it was inconvenient to act.

Instead, he politely said, "You don't need to take it to heart either. We're all classmates, so there's no need to make such a fuss."

She had been rejected again.

Nie Xiaoqian had not expected Jiang Chen to still reject her under such circumstances and refuse to shake her hand.

Could there be something wrong with the way she spoke?

Nie Xiaoqian considered it over and over, but she truly could not find any flaw.

And there was nothing wrong with Jiang Chen's reply either.

But under normal circumstances, shouldn't he have shaken her hand and said a few polite things?

Why had he not shaken her hand?

Thinking this, Nie Xiaoqian asked again, "Then, Jiang Chen, why won't you shake my hand? Are you still bothered by what happened earlier?"

A faint smile hung on Jiang Chen's refined face as he replied, "Sorry, I only hold my future wife's hand."

Nie Xiaoqian had no way to refute that answer.

She could only withdraw her hand and maintain her smile. "Then I won't force you. Flame and I still have class, so we'll be leaving first."

Watching Nie Xiaoqian's retreating figure, Jiang Chen thought that he had to resolve this trouble today.

Otherwise, her existence would always remain a hidden danger.

With that in mind, Jiang Chen looked at the Attribute Panel that only he could see.

Target: Nie Xiaoqian

True Form: Thousand-Year Demon Fox

As for everything else, such as why she was at the Supernatural Ability Academy and had become a student here—

What kind of conspiracy lay behind it all—

Jiang Chen did not care.

To him, it had nothing to do with him.

Unless she intended to harm him.

After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Chen returned to the classroom.

Fatty had arrived before Jiang Chen.

When he saw Jiang Chen, he enthusiastically took out an unopened breakfast.

"Brother Chen, you're here. Want something to eat?"

"I haven't touched it yet!"

Jiang Chen had not eaten much that morning. Now that he smelled the food, he was indeed a little hungry.

With that thought, Jiang Chen said, "Sure!"

Fatty's breakfast was all privately prepared, so it was naturally much better than anything from roadside stalls.

Jiang Chen ate a bowl of porridge and two roasted chicken legs. Feeling that it was enough, he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Fatty had also heard about Flame provoking Jiang Chen.

He quietly said, "Brother Chen, I heard about it. Some blind fool from the advanced class provoked you, and you beat him!"

"Yeah."

Jiang Chen took a sip of his milkshake and replied.

"As expected of my Brother Chen. You're even more impressive than I imagined!"

Fatty flattered him while stuffing food into his mouth.

He could really eat. One person could eat enough for three, or he would not have been called Fatty.

Fatty added, "Did Zhang Banxian tell you? He has something to do today, so he isn't coming."

"He did!"

"But I don't know what he's busy with." After wiping his mouth, Jiang Chen tossed the napkin into the trash can.

"So it's just Brother Chen and me today. I was originally planning to give him one too."

As he spoke, Fatty secretly handed Jiang Chen something while no one was paying attention.

Jiang Chen took a look and discovered that it was actually an S-Class Equipment Coupon.

Even on the black market, this kind of coupon was priceless and impossible to find.

After all, it could be exchanged for rare S-Class equipment.

Equipment that only master-level blacksmiths could create.

Jiang Chen knew that this was something money could not buy, yet Fatty had actually given him something so valuable.

And there was Zhang Banxian too.

"This is too precious!"

Jiang Chen really wanted it. With S-Class equipment, his strength could rise by an entire level.

But he also understood that he could not accept it.

"You're going to the Ten Thousand Monster Forest, and Zhang Banxian will definitely go too. With my strength, I'd only hold you back and wouldn't be able to help at all!"

"This is the only thing I can do."

"Brother Chen, if you refuse it, you're treating me like an outsider instead of a brother."

Fatty said to Jiang Chen, "My dad went to great lengths to get this for me as something to save my life. But with two top-tier experts like you around, I don't think I'll need it."

Jiang Chen knew Fatty's family was wealthy, but anyone capable of obtaining an S-Class Equipment Coupon was more than merely rich.

He had only heard before that Fatty's family business was huge, but he had never looked into just how huge it was.

Now, it seemed Fatty's family was not merely rich—they were extremely capable as well.

He knew this item was far too valuable. Fatty's father had given it to his own son as a life-saving item.

How could he accept it?

"I really can't take this!"

Jiang Chen refused once more.

"If you won't take it, then you don't see me as a brother. I'll cry right here!"

"Fine!"

Jiang Chen had no choice but to say, "I'll hold onto it for you first. When you need it, I'll give it back."

"I said it's for you, so you have to accept it. Otherwise, I really will cry."

Jiang Chen was speechless.

I'll keep it for Fatty for now and return it when I get the chance.

He then placed the S-Class Equipment Coupon into the system inventory.

From Fatty's perspective, Jiang Chen had put the coupon inside his clothes.

So he reminded him, "Brother Chen, this thing is extremely valuable. Make sure you keep it safe."

"Don't worry."

"Oh, right, there are no classes this afternoon! My goddess has a match. Come with me to watch it?"

"Who's your goddess?"

"Nie Xiaoqian!"
