Tiandou Supermarket

Chen Ming, Huo Tian, and Lei Yuan stared fixedly at Feng Rulang. An oppressive force swept over him, suffocating him.

A bead of sweat trickled down Feng Rulang's forehead. The immense pressure left him drenched in sweat.

Just as the three of them were about to make their move, Feng Rulang seemed to sense something and turned to look. Several figures were approaching from afar.

Chen Ming and the others looked over too. They recognized the four people from Class One whom Chen Ming had easily beaten last time. The four were surrounded by nine people from the other side, and Chen Ming raised an eyebrow.

"You again? What, you want me to beat you senseless?"

Chen Ming's gaze turned cold. Did these guys have no brains? They actually dared to come back. The leader gave a cold laugh, his eyes filled with resentment.

Not only had Chen Ming stolen the two prettiest girls in Class One, he had also humiliated them yesterday. He swore he wouldn't rest until he got his revenge.

Besides, he'd figured it out. The skill that had taken them all down in one move last night was probably some kind of group-control skill. As long as they kept their distance, they could definitely avoid it.

"Enough talk! I'm your enemy now! Today, I'll make you pay for everything you did to humiliate me!"

The four of them were surrounded. Huo Tian and the other two summoned their Martial Souls, yellow Soul Rings circling around them.

"Old Chen, you got this?"

Lei Yuan asked if Chen Ming could handle them. Chen Ming gave a slight nod.

"They're just a rabble. Don't forget who's number one in our grade. None of these guys even made the top three. I can take each one out with a single slap."

A fishing rod appeared in Chen Ming's hand. These were just a bunch of kids; he could take each one out with a single punch.

"Beat him up!"

Seeing how arrogant Chen Ming was, the four from Class One immediately rushed forward. Chen Ming flicked his wrist and smashed several glass bottles onto the ground.

Potions of Swiftness and Potions of Strength burst over the four of them. Chen Ming followed with a punch, sending the first attacker flying.

His hook shot out and snagged another person, pulling him in for a punch. Hook, punch; hook, punch. He treated the Class One guys like experience-granting punching bags.

The other three roommates, boosted by the potions, also defeated their opponents with ease.

In just a minute, all nine people on the other side had been taken down, sprawled across the ground.

"They're so weak..."

Huo Tian looked at the guy he'd knocked unconscious with one punch and hesitated. He'd thought they would be strong, but they were this weak.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Class One guys to be so weak."

"But, Old Chen, you took down six of them so quickly!"

The three roommates had only taken care of one person each, while Chen Ming had already beaten six.

"Why would it take long to deal with a bunch of weaklings?"

Chen Ming's retort left the three of them speechless. Soon, footsteps sounded in the distance. Turning toward them, they saw Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu hurrying over.

"Chen Ming, you guys... Huh?"

"Is it already over?"

Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu had only just left when they realized something was off. It seemed like the Class One guys had been hanging around the cafeteria the whole time.

They'd immediately turned back to check, only to find the Class One guys groaning on the ground and Chen Ming and the others standing there without even a speck of dirt on their clothes.

"Yeah, just a few fools who didn't know their limits."

Chen Ming nodded slightly. The two girls looked at the people lying on the ground. Dong Qianqiu turned and headed toward the teaching building, while Lan Mengqin folded her arms and listened as Chen Ming explained what had happened, her brows knitted together.

"These guys are useless! Nine against four, and they still got beaten. If they'd challenged you one-on-one, I might've thought better of them. But they came at you as a group and still lost. Pathetic!"

In Lan Mengqin's eyes, Chen Ming was stronger than she was. If those guys had openly challenged him, that would've been something. Their courage would've deserved some praise.

But they'd ambushed him with nine people and still got beaten despite having the numbers. Weren't they just completely useless?

"You guys can go. I'll handle things here."

After getting the full story, Lan Mengqin waved them off, saying she'd take care of it. Chen Ming nodded and left with his three roommates.

Back at the dorm, the three of them kept talking about how they'd beaten up the Class One guys, each boasting that he could take on ten.

Chen Ming, meanwhile, left campus and let Di Qiu'er out, who had nearly died of boredom. The two of them strolled along Tiandou Technology Street.

"Chen Ming! There's a supermarket here!"

Di Qiu'er grabbed Chen Ming and pointed at Tiandou Supermarket. He stared at her, utterly baffled.

"I thought you'd already gotten several boxes of snacks. Why do you want to buy more?"

"How is that enough? I'm almost out already. Bro~ Buy me some~ Please~"

Di Qiu'er threw her arms around Chen Ming and started acting cute, gazing at him without blinking with her amethyst eyes.

"...Sigh... Your budget is thirty thousand Federal Credits. If it costs more, I'm not buying it."

Chen Ming clutched his forehead. Her pleading had completely broken down his defenses, and Di Qiu'er immediately beamed.

"Yay! I knew you were the best, Bro!"

Di Qiu'er eagerly dragged Chen Ming into Tiandou Supermarket. Before long, Chen Ming had found a shopping cart. Di Qiu'er climbed inside and looked around.

"Where's the snack section?"

"Snacks are all you ever think about..."

Chen Ming looked at the silver-haired big kitty sitting in the cart, speechless. It seemed like, aside from food, she had nothing else in her head.

He pushed the cart around the enormous supermarket, occasionally glancing at the goods on display.

"Seasonings. Let's go get some first. We're almost out at home."

"Okay."

Chen Ming soon found the seasoning aisle and began picking things out. Di Qiu'er waited patiently.

After all, seasonings would let Chen Ming cook delicious food for her. When it came to food, she had plenty of patience.

"Bro, I don't want anything too strong, like cilantro."

"Oh, they don't have cilantro here... Help me reach the one on top."

After picking out a few seasonings, Chen Ming spotted one on the top shelf that he couldn't reach. He asked Di Qiu'er to get it for him.

At that, Di Qiu'er stood up in the shopping cart, stretched on tiptoe, and managed to grab the seasoning.

"Let's go. Next stop."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Chen Ming pushed the cart with Di Qiu'er inside toward their next stop. They reached the fresh food section, and as she looked at the raw meat, Di Qiu'er asked curiously:

"Bro, do they have seafood where we're from?"

Di Qiu'er wanted to know whether there were seafood creatures like crabs and shrimp in My World. She'd never tried any.

"Hmm... We'll see if we come across the right mod. You want seafood? Then let's buy some."

"Sure! This won't come out of my thirty-thousand snack budget, will it?"

"...No. I eat it too, so I'll pay."

"Hehe, you really don't have to."

Hearing that her snack money wouldn't be deducted, Di Qiu'er immediately grinned like a fool. Seafood and snacks—what more could anyone ask for?
