Another Transfer Student!

After receiving sixty Beast Crystals, Su Wuming pinched his own face on the way back, making sure he wasn't dreaming.

This wasn't just sixty Beast Crystals—it was three hundred thousand!

What exactly was Instructor Mo Lan's organization called? A casual bet was worth two or three hundred thousand. How many starch sausages would he have to sell to earn that much?

Su Wuming's thinking was still limited by the life he had known.

To high-level spirit warriors, this amount of Beast Crystals was nothing at all. Don't forget, high-level beasts were even more valuable.

And that was only one aspect. There were all sorts of bounty missions available afterward.

Following Instructor Mo Lan's instructions, Su Wuming went to Class Three's grounds and thanked Rose, Class Three's sexy instructor.

Su Wuming had to admit that she was broad-minded. Faced with his sincere thanks, Instructor Rose merely waved casually and "sent" Su Wuming on his way.

Su Wuming was sent back to class by a gust of strange fragrance. It was just that the wind stung his face a little, as though someone had been slapping him back and forth. Fortunately, his skin was thick, and he could take a beating.

Instructor Mo Lan saw everything but pretended not to, clearly giving him a little punishment for his earlier wild thoughts.

Lin Pangpang had originally planned to give his Beast Crystals to Su Wuming, but when he saw that Su Wuming had suddenly gained fifty more, he tactfully skipped the subject.

Meanwhile, the students who had gone to the infirmary gradually returned, including Li Zhihao.

The food-type spirit warriors in the school infirmary were around the Silver rank. Treating injuries that minor took no time at all.

When Li Zhihao returned, his gaze toward Su Wuming was full of anger. Clearly, his temper had not cooled.

Su Wuming found it rather strange. What right did a defeated opponent have to be so angry?

Had I hit him too lightly?

Most infuriatingly, Li Zhihao even made a throat-slitting gesture at Su Wuming, his eyes full of provocation.

Seeing Su Wuming already rolling up his sleeves, apparently thinking the guy had not been beaten enough and was itching for another beating, he prepared to educate him with some loving iron fists.

It was Li Yanan, his sister, who forcibly dragged him away, defusing the unnecessary conflict.

In truth, the instructors were all present. There was no way they could have started fighting again.

Qin Ming returned behind the two of them. It was obvious that Li Zhihao had a problem with him.

And anyone with eyes could see that Qin Ming was in low spirits after returning. He wore the expression of someone who had been betrayed, looking even worse than when Su Wuming had defeated him.

"Did you get dumped?" As the class monitor, Su Wuming naturally had to show concern for his classmate.

It was just that his wording made people want to hit him.

"You're the one who got dumped!" Qin Ming was already full of anger. If you didn't know how to talk, then don't talk, okay?

"Then did you get cheated on?" Su Wuming ignored him and changed his approach.

You're the one who got cheated on. Your whole family got cheated on.

And what, does your family live next to Dunhuang on the Grassland?

Considering Su Wuming's strength, Qin Ming could only curse him out in his heart.

Seeing Qin Ming remain silent, Su Wuming became even more convinced of his guess. It seemed he had real potential as a microexpression analyst.

He stepped forward, patted Qin Ming on the shoulder, and said in a solemn, earnest tone:

"This may not be a kind of realization. Ah~ what a painful realization..."

The first half was fine, but Su Wuming could not hold back during the second half and started singing on the spot.

Qin Ming, Zhao Qiansun, and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

Wuming, it would be a waste if you didn't become a singer. Those lyrics and that tune were pretty intense.

At that moment, Qin Ming suddenly snapped out of it. Fuck! Why am I sighing along with him? Isn't he talking about me?!!!

Still, to keep the misunderstanding from deepening, he said helplessly, "We weren't suitable for each other. Her family picked someone better for her. You all know that the future marriages of children from great families aren't up to them. They're all arranged..."

"Assessment complete: you got cheated on. Come on, you three, swipe your cards."

Su Wuming cut him off, pulled out his Beast Card, and signaled for Zhao Qiansun, Li Wencai, and Lin Pangpang to pay up.

When the four of them had seen Qin Ming approaching earlier, they had made a bet at Su Wuming's suggestion.

They bet on whether Qin Ming's expression meant he had been dumped or cheated on. It was basically the same thing. The stake was small—one Beast Crystal, just a little wager for fun. And now, it seemed Su Wuming had won.

Su Wuming waived Lin Pangpang's share, while Zhao Qiansun and Li Wencai reluctantly took out their Beast Cards and transferred one Beast Crystal each to Su Wuming.

Seeing this, Qin Ming nearly flew into a rage on the spot.

"Fuck! You two dared to make fun of me?!" Naturally, his anger was directed at Zhao Qiansun and Li Wencai.

"Hey, stop right there. Classmates should get along peacefully. As class monitor, Qin Ming, I really have to say a few words about your behavior..."

"Su Wuming, stop pretending to care, and don't celebrate too early!

Li Zhihao's beating won't be for nothing. That person will transfer here tomorrow, and then you'll be sorry. Do you really think no one can beat you? You're just a frog at the bottom of a well. Before a real genius, that little bit of strength of yours is nothing."

After saying all that in one breath, Qin Ming immediately felt much better.

"Oh? Then what does that make you, when you can't even beat me?" Su Wuming did not get angry. Instead, he asked calmly.

"I..." Qin Ming did not answer. Instead, he abruptly changed the subject and recounted what had happened in a somewhat dejected tone.

He did not know why he was saying it. This was clearly nothing to be proud of. Perhaps he felt that he needed someone to talk to right now.

Su Wuming, the person who had defeated him, naturally became the one he confided in.

At the infirmary, Li Zhihao had told him that his family had changed his sister's arranged marriage partner. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

But an even harder blow came afterward: Li Yanan had actually been very satisfied with her family's arrangement.

She had also told Qin Ming very bluntly that, as a child of a great family, she needed to have that awareness. Most importantly, the other party was stronger than Qin Ming, and his family was far beyond what the Qin Family could compare to.

Her earlier friendship with him had merely been for the sake of family interests. Now, naturally, there was no longer any need for it.

After hearing everything, Su Wuming offered him no comfort at all. Instead, he was immersed in the excitement of watching the drama, staring at Qin Ming as though he were a complete sucker.

Damn, Qin Ming's experience was practically identical to that of a protagonist in a rebirth novel.

The girl's family declined, so they relied on the protagonist's family to recover. Then they set their sights on an even more powerful great family and dumped the protagonist.

Fortunately, this plot had not happened to him, the transmigrator. Otherwise, someone else would be enjoying the show.

At that moment, Su Wuming suddenly asked Qin Ming, "Do you want to salvage the last bit of your dignity as a man?"
