83: You want to come back? Can you really get back?
In the morning, An Xueshi was frozen awake; the stove had gone out, and the low temperature made her freezing cold.
Feeling the urge, she helplessly put on her clothes, got up, and went out to find a secluded corner to relieve herself.
When she returned and looked at the RV in front of her, she felt an indescribable sense of grievance in her heart.
The car windows were high and had curtains, so she couldn't see inside.
But she imagined Su Chen and the others must have slept very comfortably, and they wouldn't even need to put on a coat to go to the bathroom.
Why? Why could their Storage Space fit an RV, while Ding Haoze's could only fit a tent?
If she hadn't thrown a tantrum and left Su Chen back then, she would be eating hot pot and sleeping in a king-size bed with them now.
Instead of eating self-heating hot pot and sleeping in a tent.
"I want to go back..." Hearing voices, she turned her head and saw Su Chen with a cat perched on his shoulder, walking over while holding a girl's hand.
Seeing this scene, a hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes.
What's so good about this guy? Back then, when I took the initiative to hold your hand, you weren't even willing!
Where am I inferior to her?
Although she was dissatisfied with Su Chen and had mocked him yesterday, she had come to her senses after some events last night.
She took a broken makeup mirror out of her pocket, quickly touched up her appearance, and then walked over.
She had been considering the issue of going back since yesterday. Of course, the prerequisite for returning was that Su Chen had to invite her back.
At the very least, Yang Junlong would have to confess to her again.
Otherwise, what would it mean to crawl back so dejectedly?
"Su Chen, you're up so early."
"Yeah, it's hot in the car, so I thought I'd come out for some fresh air."
Hot?
Do you have any idea that I was just frozen awake?
"Su Chen, can we talk privately for a bit?"
"Then Su Chen, I'll go back and make breakfast first."
Before Su Chen could speak, Xia Weiyu ran off ahead of him.
Looking at An Xueshi in front of him, Su Chen was a bit impatient:
"Just say whatever you have to say."
An Xueshi thought for a moment and said:
"Ding Haoze and I are just ordinary teammates; we're here on a mission."
"Mhm."
"When I suddenly transferred schools back then, I was just throwing a bit of a tantrum. Can I transfer back now?"
"I'm not in charge of that. You'll have to ask the Mentor and see what he says.
But for someone like you who jumps around, even if you have good talent, the Mentor won't favor you anymore.
You're better off staying at your Jing University. If you work hard for a few years, you'll have a good future. Maybe you can even land a young master from a wealthy family. Wasn't that your plan when you went there? Coming back now would be a waste of effort."
An Xueshi was somewhat speechless because that was indeed what she had been thinking when she went to Jing University.
But there were too many Geniuses there; someone like her was simply third-rate, at the bottom of the social ladder.
Forget about getting in touch with those super Geniuses; they wouldn't even look her in the eye if she greeted them.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen to such a state, coming back to look for Su Chen and wanting to be the Campus Belle again.
"Also, if you really want to come back, you'd better be prepared."
"Prepared? Prepared for what?"
"Did you forget?
When you left, you used the excuse that your family was sick and you didn't have money for treatment. You borrowed money and Spirit Stones from many people, and several Mentors even lent you some.
I remember you haven't paid them back yet, right?
When you're not around, everyone might not look for you, but if you come back, it's a different story."
Speaking of this, An Xueshi also remembered.
At that time, she had already decided not to come back, so she acted very decisively.
She lied to many people saying her family was sick and needed money, then borrowed money and Spirit Stones from many people, including several Mentors.
Because of these, she was able to reach First Rank strength. If she went back, this debt would have to be repaid. How could she pay it back?
Although resources increased after going to Jing University, the Spirit Stones were used up, and the money was spent on bags... It wasn't just a matter of debt; she would also have to face their wrath if she returned.
When she left, she had blacklisted all of them.
She... couldn't go back.
"Is there anything else?"
"Was that person your Girlfriend just now?"
Su Chen was too lazy to answer: "Does that have anything to do with you?"
"What's so good about her? Where is she better than me?"
"Good?
Perhaps when I help her, her gratitude to me is sincere."
An Xueshi grabbed Su Chen as he was about to leave. After a long pause, a single tear slid from the corner of her eye.
"Su Chen, you've been helping me since the start of school. I'm really grateful to you.
Although we didn't end up together, I'm very happy to see someone by your side now.
I wish you both happiness."
[Ding! Gained favorability from An Xueshi, lottery ticket +0.01.]
[Ding! Gained favorability from Xiao Qian, lottery ticket +0.01.]
[Ding! Gained favorability from Xiao Qian, lottery ticket +0.01.]
[Ding! Gained...]
Su Chen held Xiao Qian and stroked it a few times, saying:
"I've received your blessings, and I wish you happiness as well.
With your A-rank Talent, work hard at Jing University, and you'll surely live the life you want."
...Looking at the departing Su Chen, she stomped her feet in anger.
Hmph, you just enjoy your moment of pride.
Su Chen, you're right! At least I have good talent! I have an A-rank Talent!
This is a world where the strong are respected. When I become stronger, I can have whatever I want. If I want dozens of boyfriends, I'll have dozens of boyfriends.
What kind of man couldn't I find!
You're just proud for now!
Thinking that Su Chen was also First Rank now, while his two teammates hadn't even reached First Rank.
She could find a sliver of balance; at least she was strong.
The boyfriend she found was strong; with his Second Rank strength, he could completely crush Su Chen.
He could even take on four at once.
Five years, no, just two years. In two years, Ding Haoze will leave Su Chen far behind!
Just you wait!
Thank you for reminding me, I'll remember this!
[Ding! Gained favorability from An Xueshi, lottery ticket +2.]
...When they gathered to set off, An Xueshi decided to make things difficult for Su Chen.
Since she couldn't go back anyway, why should she continue to humor them?
Su Chen and the others must be very weak now. Letting them fight Second-tier or Third-tier Exotic Beasts would surely result in them being chased around.
When you make fools of yourselves then, don't blame me for laughing at you.
"Su Chen, we fought Exotic Beasts all day yesterday. It's not right for you guys to just watch. You'll participate in the battle today, understood?"
Su Chen did not object: "Sure, it's fine if you guys take a day off today.
I felt uncomfortable all over after being idle all yesterday afternoon."
An Xueshi sneered: "Take a day off? Su Chen!
Words aren't just something you say. Are you sure?"
"It's fine."
"You said it. Don't expect me to step in and save you when you're in danger!"
"No need."
Su Chen didn't care about these second and Third-tier Exotic Beasts. He just wanted to stretch his muscles today and also use the seven star dragon abyss sword.
There were few Exotic Beasts yesterday, but he had just asked Xiao Qian to check the surroundings, and the number of Exotic Beasts had increased.
It was a perfect time to test the sword.
To see what kind of passive effect would occur after killing seven Exotic Beasts in a row.
