Chapter 54

The usage method of the Iron Fetus Fruit is exactly the same as the No-Leak Fruit. Thinking about this, Zhang Tie no longer hesitated, carefully picked the strangely shaped fruit, and ate it in two or three bites. The Iron Fetus Fruit had a slight greenish fragrance and a texture like those not fully ripe peaches. After swallowing it, Zhang Tie waited for a while, but nothing happened. He waited a bit longer, and still, nothing happened...

After a long time, Zhang Tie blinked his eyes. Was that it? The effect was so much weaker compared to the No-Leak Fruit. He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, but then he quickly came to his senses. Was he being too greedy? He had only been beaten up four times by a little kid and got this fruit. What more could he want? The effects of the Iron Fetus Fruit probably needed to accumulate over time to show. Iron Fetus, Iron Fetus, how could iron be forged with just one hammer?

With this thought, Zhang Tie calmed down. After completing today's "Abacus Mental Calculation" and the coccyx bright point cultivation, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Tie was startled awake by the turmoil in his stomach. As soon as he woke up, he quickly sat up, grabbed a few sheets of grass paper from his bedside, and with a mental command, he appeared in the Black Iron Castle. Wearing only a pair of shorts, Zhang Tie ran to a corner. After running a few dozen steps, feeling it was too late, he quickly took off his shorts and squatted down. As soon as he squatted, a pile of foul-smelling waste came out. He squatted for over ten minutes before he felt the turmoil in his stomach had been cleared out.

After wiping himself clean and standing up, Zhang Tie wrinkled his nose and looked at the place he had "polluted." A pile of black stuff startled him.

Damn, when did I become so disgusting, with black feces?

The pile of feces was incredibly foul-smelling and unsightly. He couldn't just leave it there. Even cats know to cover their feces with dirt after defecating. He decided to do the same.

Looking around, Zhang Tie ran to a small tree. Next to the tree was a box where he had stored some miscellaneous items. Inside the box were the "strong rat poison" Tang De had given him and the snake-tooth dagger for stealth attacks. In addition, there were a few other items. Zhang Tie found a small shovel that was almost worn out and ran back to the spot. He scooped up a pile of dirt and covered his "evidence." After that, he returned to his small nest and fell asleep.

Zhang Tie vaguely felt that this diarrhea might be related to the Iron Fetus Fruit, but he didn't bother to investigate further. After all, he hadn't lost anything. The effects of the Iron Fetus Fruit would become clear in the future!

He had a dreamless night. When Zhang Tie woke up again, he felt his body. The pain and soreness had greatly subsided, but there was nothing particularly unusual. His underwear was dry, and his little brother was still firm and strong. Zhang Tie finally gave up on the Iron Fetus Fruit and thought about today being his "big day." He jumped out of bed and eagerly started a new day.

...

Wearing the cleanest clothes he could find, from head to toe, and stepping into the new leather shoes his brother had given him, Zhang Tie went to school. Instead of praise, he was met with various sarcastic and mocking glances and whispers from the members of the Airplane Brotherhood.

"Hey... Hey... You're well-prepared!" During the break, the fatso Barry came to Zhang Tie with a smug smile. "You look much cleaner and fresher. A clean and fresh virgin can sometimes be very popular with women. You might even get some unexpected surprises!"

Just as Zhang Tie was about to punch the fatso's face, the word "surprise" made his hormones surge. "What kind of surprise?" he asked the fatso curiously.

The fatso had a mysterious smile, but before he could answer, the most lecherous member of the Airplane Brotherhood, Sista, interrupted, hooking his arm around Zhang Tie's shoulder and excitedly whispering a bunch of things in his ear, almost making Zhang Tie burst into flames...

...

When a green youth who has been repressed for over a decade knows that his virgin life will end on a certain day, can he still focus on class that day? At least Zhang Tie couldn't. Most of the guys at this point had no interest in class and were instead getting signatures from teachers. After tomorrow, they would all say goodbye to the school's classrooms. Many teachers' classes in the last two days had turned into signature sessions. The most sought-after for signatures was Teacher Daina. There were also classmates signing each other's books as mementos. Zhang Tie spent the morning signing and leaving farewell messages and blessings for many of his classmates.

As they left the school, although no one wanted to admit it, everyone felt a certain inexplicable sadness. Everyone seemed to want to retain or leave something behind. Who knew how many would be buried in the wilderness during the upcoming survival trial? In the years to come, how many more would be crushed into dust by the wheels of time?

The afternoon training class was also canceled. The firearms instructor's last lesson only covered one topic: the role of long weapons in the survival trial and how to use their advantages in team cooperation to hunt the most common animals. The instructor's implication was clear: for rookies, using the advantage of team cooperation to maintain a distance with opponents or targets using long weapons like guns and spears was the golden rule of survival in the wild.

Finally, it was time to leave school. At the school gate, just like when he said goodbye to Doug last time, the members of the Airplane Brotherhood also held a farewell ceremony for Zhang Tie.

"Hope to see you as a man tomorrow!" This was Baghdad's blessing to Zhang Tie.

"Enjoy it!" This was what Savage said.

"Young guys are usually very vigorous the first time. As long as you make them feel good, doing it five or six times is no problem!" This was what the lecher Sista said.

"Don't suck that damn tea!" This was what Doug said.

"Remember the techniques I told you to prolong the time!" This was what Light said.

Zhang Tie didn't know what he was feeling at the moment—excitement, nervousness, and the sadness of not seeing Teacher Daina again after leaving school.

Finally, under Barry's urging and the whistles and laughter of these guys, they parted ways. Barry took Zhang Tie to complete the task of ending his virginity today.

"Still at Doug's place?" On the way, Zhang Tie asked nervously.

"Right!" Barry nodded. "Madam Anna will be the best teacher on your path to becoming a man..."

"I still have to work at the grocery store today!"

"You've already said that. I'll come for you at seven, and we'll go together!"

"Okay!" Zhang Tie didn't ask what Barry was going to do during this time. Everyone has their secrets.

At the train station, at a crossroads, Zhang Tie and Barry parted ways, and Zhang Tie went to Tang De's shop.

The first thing Tang De said when he saw Zhang Tie almost made him trip at the grocery store entrance. "I remember you said you were about to lose your virginity. Seeing you dressed so provocatively today, even wearing such new shoes, I guess it's tonight, huh? Tsk... tsk... If you had told me it was today last time, you wouldn't have to come today. In the Eastern Continent, there's a saying: a night of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I wouldn't be so unreasonable. Do you want me to teach you a few tricks to impress women, even as a rookie?"

Tang De teased and laughed unscrupulously. The fatso's talent for reading people's expressions made Zhang Tie furious. His little secret was cruelly exposed by Tang De, making him feel embarrassed.

"Yes, I'm going to find a woman in two hours to end my virginity. I heard from the guys at school that young guys like us are usually very vigorous the first time, and can do it seven or eight times in a row. Dear boss, how long has it been since you did it seven or eight times in a row?" Zhang Tie deliberately slapped his forehead. "Oh, I almost forgot. At your age, taking care of your health is the most important. Many activities are no longer suitable!"

Zhang Tie's sharp retort made Tang De, who was drinking water, choke and cough violently. Tang De glared at Zhang Tie angrily, and Zhang Tie glared back. They stared at each other like roosters for a while, then both "hmmphed" and turned away, each doing their own thing.

After doing a few transactions and clearing the accounts, Tang De, who seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, remained silent for two hours, not saying a word to Zhang Tie. Every time Zhang Tie's gaze met his, he would "hmmph" and turn away. After two hours, the guy returned to his usual stingy self, saying coldly, "I won't keep you for dinner!" and sent Zhang Tie away.

As he stepped out of the shop, Zhang Tie saw Barry waving at him from across the street. Suddenly, that feeling of accelerated heartbeat and palpitations came back, even stronger this time. Zhang Tie shook his head, and the image of Gris' sullen face over the past two days flashed in his mind.

To hell with it! Zhang Tie cursed in his heart.

...

In a small alley near the train station, Hake, who had found no clues for almost a week, was becoming increasingly irritable. Even the dagger in Sneed's hand seemed to roll and spin like a flower, signaling the owner's restlessness. The final moment for the organization's action was approaching. If they still couldn't contact the force in Black Flame City in two days, they would have to flee for their lives...

The sky grew dark again, and a thin, small beggar ran into the alley.

"We found someone who matches your description..."
