32: I have insomnia. (Xiongfeng Pharmacy)

As expected, Lin Chuan experienced insomnia for the first time.

At 1 AM, Lin Chuan was still wide awake, scrolling through his phone out of boredom.

His friend list had fewer than 10 people.

Except for Old Qin, everyone else was added after he came to Beast Taming Third Middle School.

As for the previous ones, he deleted them all.

“So boring, damn it!”

Lin Chuan, who had decided to just chill, unexpectedly pulled an all-nighter!

If he drank that damned potion again, he'd be a dog.

So, he sent a mass message to everyone on his list: “Are you there?”

“?

You brat, out of money again?”

Qin Yan was the first to reply.

Lin Chuan: “??? Am I that kind of person?”

“Old Qin, not asleep yet?”

“I'm busy. Recently, the Yao Beast movements have become more frequent. You brat, just stay in school if you have nothing to do, don't run around.”

“No problem, next time remember to bring me some Yao Beast meat. No rock ones.”

“Damn it, this old man remembers. You're ordering me around, do you really think I'm your father?!”

“...”

Lin Chuan was speechless. It seemed Old Qin was really overwhelmed with work and had a short temper.

After a while, Qin Yan sent another message: “Lan Lan told me you did well, getting first place so quickly. You have the demeanor of this old man in his youth. Starting next month, I'll double your resources.”

When Old Qin received Lan Lan's call during the day, he was so excited he almost fell off the Eagle King's back. This was one of the few times Lan Lan had actively called him in so many years!

The content of the call needn't be elaborated; in summary, it was all thanks to Old Qin's Wisdom Eye for discovering Lin Chuan, this hidden gem, and through Old Qin's relentless guidance, he was finally nurtured into a talent and handed over to Lan Lan... What could Lin Chuan say as he looked at Qin Yan's message? He could only send an emoji.

“Thanks, boss (emoji).”

“Alright, I will do my best to fulfill all your requests, and I hope you remember my requests as well.”

What Qin Yan was referring to was naturally for Lin Chuan to stay at Beast Taming Third Middle School, get into a key university, and extend Third High School's lifespan.

As Lin Chuan began to show his talent, other schools would surely come to poach him. After all, compared to other schools, Third High School was nothing.

“I understand.”

Lin Chuan would still keep this promise.

“By the way, Old Qin. Since I took first place, I probably offended some people...”

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Chuan decided to speak directly.

Not leaning on a powerful backer and waiting to be ambushed by the opponent? Wouldn't that be pure idiocy?

Lin Chuan was certainly not.

Besides, it also gave Qin Yan a sense of reassurance, at least showing that Lin Chuan still needed him.

Qin Yan's reply was also simple and direct:

“Beat him up!”

...Meanwhile, Ye Yao was tossing and turning in bed.

“What does Lin Chuan mean by sending me a message so late?

Should I reply ‘I am' or ‘I am not'?”

“Is something wrong?” Too stiff, delete.

“I am here.” Too nauseating, delete.

“??” Even worse, delete...

“The other party is editing.”

Lin Chuan looked at Ye Yao's status display and was speechless for a moment.

It had been five minutes, girl. If you really can't think of how to reply, just go to sleep...

“Bro, what's up?”

This was Xu Dazhi's reply, and his status showed “In Game.”

“Took some medicine, can't sleep.”

“Play a game then!”

“Wait for me to download it.”

Thus, for the entire night, Xu Dazhi regretted his suggestion.

The first few rounds were normal, but gradually, things started to go wrong.

When he picked support, Lin Chuan would steal last hits from the AD carry, causing his own AD carry to AFK at the fountain at level one.

Crucially, the AD carry didn't quit, just stayed AFK, cursing.

Could Lin Chuan tolerate that? While systematically insulting the AD carry's family, he could still carry the game.

The hand speed of someone single for two lifetimes was not something a Mortal could compare to.

When he picked mid-lane, Lin Chuan would clear his own jungle whenever he had a chance, leaving the jungler completely bewildered...

When he picked jungler, it went without saying, with one phrase: “I want it all!”

The key was, he didn't just mess with his teammates; he messed with the opponents too.

Especially when he saw a game CP duo queuing, he would beat the female support to death!

Finally, the opponents couldn't take it anymore and typed in public chat:

“Is it really necessary? I'm only worth 50 gold!”

“This is a cross-dressing account, stop killing me...”

“Damn it.”

The opposing AD carry directly left the game.

After one game, nine people suffered, and only Lin Chuan had fun.

As for Xu Dazhi, he was already numb.

Although they were duo queuing, Xu Dazhi always avoided Lin Chuan.

They won the game, but it felt like they didn't...

“Awesome!”

Lin Chuan dragged Xu Dazhi along, playing until seven in the morning before he finally felt a little sleepy.

“Dazhi, the game is pretty fun. Let's play together again next time, okay?”

Saying that, Lin Chuan logged off to sleep.

“Heh... Heh heh.”

Xu Dazhi was already so sleepy his consciousness was hazy. Hearing Lin Chuan say that, he was immediately scared awake.

“There's a next time?”

The chubby guy wondered if he should just delete his account and quit the game.

Seeing Lin Chuan's offline game ID, “Invincible Turtle,” Xu Dazhi felt a headache coming on.

The Canyon was destined to be plunged into a bloodbath because of his accidental suggestion...

Lin Chuan slept until Saturday afternoon.

He had many missed calls, all from his homeroom teacher, Du Yong.

Du Yong hadn't seen Lin Chuan's message. When he vaguely saw the message in the early morning, he instantly sobered up, thinking something had happened to Lin Chuan.

He called several times, but Lin Chuan was already asleep and didn't answer.

Du Yong immediately panicked and reported it directly to Lan Lan.

“Don't worry about him. That kid doesn't know what he's up to; it was a mass message.”

Seeing Lan Lan so calm, Du Yong was completely relieved.

Damn it, this kid must be here to torment me. He's not even peaceful during the holidays. I want to live a few more years!

...Outside, the construction team was still making the final adjustments, “clanging and banging.” Their efficiency was very high, finishing in three or four days.

In fact, they even started with Lin Chuan's side first, while the Ye family's courtyard wall was scheduled for later.

Seeing Lin Chuan come out, the workers greeted him one after another, then continued their work.

According to the Ye family's steward, the owner of this house had a significant background, so they naturally dared not offend him.

Lin Chuan had something to do in the afternoon and was about to leave when he saw Ye Yao approach with a conflicted expression.

“Student Lin Chuan, are you going out? That...”

Ye Yao's face was a little red, then she said: “I didn't see your message last night. Was something wrong?”

She had fallen asleep while agonizing over it last night, and woke up in the morning screaming into her pillow.

“...”

Lin Chuan was speechless.

You were editing for a long time; I saw it all.

Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't expose her, nor would he admit that he sent it randomly out of boredom.

He casually said: “Do you know where I can buy medicine?”

“Potions? The Beast Taming Association and quite a few shops have them.”

“Not potions, just herbs and stuff.”

“Oh, I see. There are shops like that on North Gate Street... Anyway, I have nothing to do, so why don't we go together? I haven't been shopping there in a while either.”

After Ye Yao finished speaking, her face was flushed.

“Like that...” Lin Chuan was about to refuse, but then he thought that having an acquaintance lead the way seemed more convenient, “Alright then... But let me say this beforehand, I won't carry a girl's bag, haha.”

After saying that, Lin Chuan turned and walked towards the roadside, planning to call a taxi.

Ye Yao rolled her eyes and followed directly...
