Chapter 18: Reward: Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun
"..."
Chu Yahan sat on the bed, looking at the man with an extraordinary aura. At this moment, she was as excited as a child who had found a treasure, her surprise deepening.
"They...left?"
Chu Yahan, lying on the bed, watched the group of people leave in a hurry.
Chu Yahan originally thought that Su Nan was just a highly skilled person, but she didn't expect that she had underestimated Su Nan's true strength all along.
After all, she was just a rich heiress, not someone involved in this kind of business, and she didn't understand the rarity of Su Nan's extraordinary talent, nor did she have anyone to compare herself to.
Therefore, she instinctively assumed that people who truly cultivate themselves all have similar abilities.
But watching Luo Shaofeng and the others leave in a hurry, Chu Yahan realized that she had been too superficial and had thought things through too simply.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
Chu Yingxiong, standing beside him, also swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.
Although he didn't know exactly what the 749 Bureau was, he could easily figure out how much power it wielded to command the city's police force.
This group of people were so excited about their daughter's classmate, an 18-year-old high school student, that they even wanted to personally recommend him for a position in the department.
Chu Yingxiong had previously thought that offering Su Nan five million was already quite generous, but now he realized that his money was probably nothing in the eyes of others.
fortunately,
Fortunately,
Fortunately, my daughter knows Su Nan.
We have this good fortune.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Chu Yingxiong secretly rejoiced. At the same time, he looked out the window at the location of the school, and the thought of befriending and currying favor with it had already secretly arisen in his mind.
If he can climb this high mountain of southern Jiangsu, it will definitely be a great help to him in the future.
Saying
at the same time,
the other side,
Class 4, Grade 12, Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School.
Ten minutes between classes.
"Su Nan, after thinking about what you said to me during break yesterday, I think it's because you're under too much pressure from the college entrance exam lately. That's why you talked about fists and such. There are only sixty days left until the final sprint, so don't keep overthinking things."
When Zhou Ningshuang returned home last night, she carefully pondered what Su Nan had said. She felt that Su Nan's ideas were somewhat dangerous, especially his remarks about fists, saying that there is no such thing as wealth and status that can be obtained through fists.
"I'm not overthinking anything, I just want to give you a heads-up in advance, so that things won't change and you won't be unable to accept it."
Su Nan twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand, paused, and then said with a smile.
"How can the world change? Is the sky going to fall down?"
Zhou Ningshuang rolled her eyes at him, poked his arm, and continued, "Teacher Qiu talked to me yesterday and told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you do your practice problems properly. Don't slack off anymore. You were so good at math before, it's not too late to pick it up again."
Yesterday, Teacher Qiu talked to her and summarized it in one sentence: "Mental illness requires mental medicine."
The homeroom teacher probably also heard about Su Nan's crush on her.
"In time what?"
Su Nan raised an eyebrow and continued, "If you can get into a good university, after graduation you can find a job that pays four thousand yuan a month and spend your whole life struggling to pay off your mortgage."
"Otherwise, isn't that how ordinary people all get by?"
Zhou Ningshuang was taken aback by Su Nan's question, then frowned and pondered before replying.
"That's just how reality is. If you have no connections and no money, there's really no other way out except for the college entrance exam."
Su Nan, I know this will make you uncomfortable, but I hope you can listen to me.
Zhou Ningshuang continued earnestly.
"..."
Su Nan smiled and looked at her, without refuting her.
He knew that talking about mysterious resurgence or rampant strange occurrences to someone who still lived in a peaceful era and believed in the supremacy of money was like casting pearls before swine. He would understand on June 7th.
"I need to use the restroom."
Seeing that Su Nan didn't speak, Zhou Ningshuang assumed he had taken her words to heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
She pulled a piece of white paper from the drawer, held it in her hand, stood up, stepped out of the classroom, and walked towards the girls' restroom.
She had only been gone for two seconds when footsteps came from the back door of the classroom.
Zhao Yiheng walked at the front, his school uniform jacket open, revealing a black trendy T-shirt underneath. He had a strand of white hair in his hair and walked over arrogantly and domineeringly.
Behind him were four henchmen, all of whom were hooligans who didn't like studying at the school. Each of them was tall and had a fierce look on their faces. They followed Zhao Yiheng for a few steps and surrounded Su Nan's seat, blocking him completely from all sides, clearly determined not to let Su Nan escape.
At that moment, the noise in the classroom instantly subsided. The students around them subconsciously moved to the side, lowering their heads and not daring to speak, but secretly glancing over from the corner of their eyes.
Everyone knows that Zhao Yiheng is abnormally possessive. If any boy in the class tries to say an extra word to Zhou Ningshuang, he will block them in the bathroom and give them a warning.
Not to mention that Su Nan and Zhou Ningshuang were just chatting and laughing, and the two seemed to have a pretty good relationship.
"Ugh."
Su Nan remained seated, still clutching the pen in her hand, not even lifting her eyelids, as if she hadn't seen the group of people surrounding her.
"Kid, come out with me for a bit, let's talk in the restroom."
Zhao Yiheng walked to Su Nan's side, grabbed Su Nan's shoulder, and pulled him into his arms with a strong force. He exhaled a faint smell of smoke and said in a sinister tone.
His four henchmen, on the other hand, wore malicious smiles.
"..."
Speechless.
Su Nan was utterly speechless. Did he look that easy to bully?
After Zhou Ningshuang left, Su Nan's entire focus remained on the interface that only he could see.
At this moment, the information panel displayed lines of large text:
[Congratulations, host, you have escaped the attack range of the red-clad vengeful ghost (Chu Yahan)]
[Task Completed]
[Congratulations on obtaining the escape reward: Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun (Mountain-Carrying Divine Strength) 10% complete]

[You have gained 1 Source Energy Point for slaying evil spirits]
[Note: Energy points can increase the completeness of supernatural abilities]
…………
……
Just then, as Su Nan shifted his focus from the text on the screen to dealing with the troublesome group around him, a clear, loud female voice suddenly rang out from the front row, instantly drowning out all other sounds in the classroom: "The teacher is here! The teacher is here!"
The one who shouted this was Jiang Xiaohui. She was sitting in the front row of the classroom and was the class's study committee member. She had already noticed the commotion on Su Nan's side.
Seeing Zhao Yiheng and his group surrounding Su Nan and trying to pull him outside, her heart tightened immediately.
