Tiandou Supermarket

Chen Ming, Huo Tian, and Lei Yuan stared fixedly at Feng Rulang, a suffocating pressure sweeping over him.

Sweat beaded on Feng Rulang's forehead, his entire body drenched as he was forced to endure this incredibly powerful pressure.

Just as the three of them were about to make a move, Chen Ming seemed to sense something and turned his head, spotting several figures walking over from a distance.

Chen Ming and his two companions looked over as well, discovering it was the group from Class One that Chen Ming had insta-killed last time. Seeing the four of them surrounded by nine people from the opposite side, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You guys again? What, still want to get beaten up by me?"

Chen Ming's gaze turned cold. Did these guys have no brains? They actually dared to come back. The leader sneered, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at him.

Not only had Chen Ming snatched away the two prettiest girls in their class, but he had also humiliated them yesterday. If he didn't take revenge for this, he wouldn't be a man.

Furthermore, he had figured it out: that skill from last night that insta-killed them all was likely some kind of crowd-control ability. As long as they kept their distance, they could definitely avoid it.

"Enough talk! I'm locked onto you! Today, I will take back everything you used to humiliate me!"

With the four of them surrounded, Huo Tian and the others summoned their Martial Souls, yellow soul rings circling their bodies.

"Old Chen, you okay?"

Lei Yuan asked if Chen Ming could handle it, and he nodded slightly in response.

"Just a bunch of rabble. Don't forget who the top student in the grade is. These guys didn't even make the top three; I can take them down with a single slap."

A fishing rod appeared in Chen Ming's hand. Dealing with a few kids, he could take them out with a single punch each.

"Beat him up!"

Seeing Chen Ming acting so arrogant, the group from Class One swarmed forward. Seeing this, Chen Ming flicked his wrist, and several glass bottles shattered on the ground.

Speed potions and strength potions splashed onto the four of them. Immediately after, Chen Ming threw a punch, sending the person charging at him flying with a single blow.

His fishing hook darted out, snagging one person and pulling them in for another punch. With one hook and one punch, he treated the guys from Class One like experience-farming mobs.

The other three roommates, boosted by the potions, easily defeated their opponents as well.

In just one minute, all nine of the opponents had been insta-killed, lying scattered across the ground.

"So weak..."

Huo Tian looked at the guy he had knocked unconscious with a single punch, wanting to say more but holding back. He had thought they would be strong, but they turned out to be so weak.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the guys from Class One to be this pathetic."

"But Old Chen, you insta-killed six of them so fast!"

The three roommates had only managed to take down one each, yet Chen Ming had already dealt with six.

"Do you really think a bunch of weaklings would take a long time to handle?"

Chen Ming's retort left the three of them speechless. Soon, footsteps echoed from afar, and following the sound, the hurried figures of Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu came into view.

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

"Already finished?"

Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu had only just left when they sensed something was wrong, as if the guys from Class One had been lingering around the cafeteria the whole time.

They had turned back immediately to check, only to arrive and see the members of Class One wailing on the ground while Chen Ming and his three friends didn't even have a speck of dust on their clothes.

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

Chen Ming nodded slightly. The two girls looked at the people lying on the ground. Dong Qianqiu turned and headed toward the classroom building, while Lan Mengqin crossed her arms and listened to Chen Ming recount what happened, her brows furrowed.

"These guys are too useless, aren't they? Nine against four and they still got countered? If they had challenged you one-on-one, I might have looked at them with some respect, but they couldn't even win a group fight? How embarrassing!"

In Lan Mengqin's eyes, Chen Ming's strength was superior to her own. If these guys had challenged him openly, their courage would have been worth praising.

But for nine of them to stage an ambush and still get insta-killed while outnumbering him? That was just pure trash.

"You guys go ahead, leave this to me to handle."

After understanding the situation, Lan Mengqin waved her hand, indicating she would take care of it. Chen Ming nodded slightly and turned to leave with his three roommates.

Back at the dormitory, the three of them were still talking about how they had just beaten up the guys from Class One, each of them exaggerating and claiming they could take on ten at once.

Chen Ming, however, headed out of the school and released Di Qiu'er, who had been bored to death. The two of them strolled along Tiandou Technology Street together.

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

Di Qiu'er grabbed Chen Ming, pointing at Tiandou Supermarket. Seeing this, he was full of question marks:

"I remember you already opened several boxes of snacks, didn't you? Why do you need to buy more?"

"How is that enough to eat? I've almost finished them all. Big brother~ buy them for me~ please~"

Di Qiu'er hugged Chen Ming directly and started acting cute, looking at him with her amethyst eyes without blinking.

"...Sigh... The budget is 30,000 Federal Credits. If it goes over, I'm not buying it."

Chen Ming immediately clutched his forehead, his defenses completely shattered by her pouting, and Di Qiu'er beamed with joy.

"Yay! I knew you were the best, big brother!"

Di Qiu'er couldn't wait to drag Chen Ming into Tiandou Supermarket. Soon, Chen Ming pushed a cart over, and Di Qiu'er hopped inside, looking around.

"Where's the snack aisle?"

"You only ever think about snacks..."

Chen Ming looked at the silver-haired big cat sitting in the shopping cart and was momentarily speechless. It seemed like, aside from eating, there was basically nothing else in her brain.

He pushed the shopping cart as he wandered through the massive supermarket, occasionally glancing at the goods around him.

"The seasoning aisle. Let's go buy seasonings first; we're almost out at home."

"Alright."

Chen Ming soon found the section selling seasonings and began to pick out what he needed, while Di Qiu'er waited with great patience.

After all, seasonings meant Chen Ming could make delicious food for her, and when it came to gourmet meals, her patience was always in abundant supply.

"Brother, I don't want anything too pungent, like cilantro."

"Oh, there's no cilantro here... help me grab that one up there."

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

Hearing this, Di Qiu'er stood up from the shopping cart and stood on her tiptoes, successfully retrieving the seasoning.

"Let's go, next stop."

"Off we go, off we go!"

Chen Ming pushed the shopping cart with Di Qiu'er inside as they headed toward their next destination. They arrived at the fresh produce section, and looking at the raw meat there, Di Qiu'er asked curiously:

"Brother, do we have seafood over there?"

Di Qiu'er was asking if there were seafood like crabs or shrimp in My World, as she had never eaten them before.

"Hmm... we'll see if we can come across the corresponding mods later. Do you want to eat seafood? If so, let's buy some."

"Yes, please! This won't count toward my thirty-thousand snack budget, right?"

"...It won't, because I'll be eating it too, so I'll pay."

"Hehehe, how could I be so embarrassed?"

Hearing that her snack money wouldn't be deducted, Di Qiu'er immediately beamed with joy. With both seafood and snacks to eat, this was surely the height of human happiness!
