Chapter 28

A top-notch lolita walked through the campus, her figure swaying with each step, causing the boys who saw her to involuntarily turn their eyes. Dressed like a little delinquent, she wore a black mini skirt that barely covered her waist, her long, slender legs completely exposed, incredibly fair. She also wore a pair of high heels that were over ten centimeters tall.

"Stop!" Just as the little delinquent was proudly swaying her slender waist, she suddenly heard a voice.

The little delinquent was taken aback, turned around, and saw an old man walking over from the side, dressed in dirty clothes and carrying a snake skin bag.

"School rules don't allow such revealing clothing. Don't you know that?" The old man pointed at the little delinquent and asked coldly, but his eyes were glancing at her legs.

"Hehehe, old man, are you senile? I'm not a student here," the little delinquent glared at the old man with disgust.

"Are you deaf? I said no one is allowed to wear such revealing clothes in school, I didn't say only students can't wear them," the old man's eyes still lingered on the little delinquent.

"You... How much?" The little delinquent, realizing it was almost lunchtime and not wanting to waste time arguing with the old man, asked.

"Five hundred!" The old man said directly. Seeing her expensive attire, he figured she must be rich, so he decided to overcharge her.

"What? Five hundred! Are you robbing a bank? Two hundred!" The little delinquent haggled.

"Three hundred." The old man also wanted to get the money quickly and looked around.

The little delinquent didn't notice this, glared at the old man again, and took out her wallet. "I only have two hundred and fifty." "What? Are you insulting me!" The old man shouted, seeing the two hundred and fifty yuan in her hand.

"I only have this much. If you don't want two hundred and fifty, then two hundred. Here." The little delinquent threw the money on the ground.

"Wait, I heard the sound of coins. Give me two hundred and fifty, plus one yuan." The old man said.

"You... Fine, I'll remember you, you wait!" The little delinquent was thoroughly enraged, but she was in a hurry and didn't want to attract a crowd, so she threw another fifty-one yuan and quickly left.

"Hmph, dressing so provocatively!" The old man muttered, quickly picked up the money, and looked around to make sure no one saw him, then pretended to be a pitiful garbage collector.

In Class 1, Grade 3, Liao Kai was anxiously thinking about the top-notch escort girl, unable to focus on the class. Finally, the bell rang, and at that moment, a girl wearing a black mini skirt and a devilish figure walked to the door. Feng Zihao and Liao Kai walked out of the classroom, drawing the attention of many onlookers.

"Feng, did you call me?" The top-notch little delinquent smiled seductively at Feng Zihao, hinting that he had called her for a reason.

Feng Zihao glanced at the little delinquent's devilish figure, a cold smile on his lips, thinking he had already grown tired of her after multiple encounters. "Kai, I'll cover for you this afternoon. Take her out. Her skills are great, don't waste too much time." Feng Zihao took out a stack of money from his wallet and handed it to Liao Kai.

"Ah! Don't worry, Feng, I won't forget." Liao Kai was overjoyed, took the money, and walked over to the little delinquent.

"Ah! Feng, you... you want me to accompany him!" The little delinquent looked at Feng Zihao in shock.

"What's the problem? You're an escort girl, right? You take money and provide services. I'm paying, you provide the service, no need to risk your life. Go, follow Kai, he won't treat you badly." Feng Zihao said with a cold laugh.

"… Yes, Feng!" The little delinquent had no choice but to agree, and Liao Kai couldn't wait to take her away...

In the following days, everyone was preparing for the city-wide mock exam, one of the major tests before the college entrance exam.

Tang Yu also prepared seriously, but as he had expected, he was just there to go through the motions. In several subjects, he only did the English and Chinese parts, leaving most of the others undone, as he hadn't learned many of the new concepts.

As usual, Tang Yu received snacks from Qu Xuer every day, and the amount kept increasing. Tang Yu really couldn't understand why Qu Xuer liked him so much. He thought he should find some time to talk to her properly.

After the mock exam, there were two days off, but for the students in Grade 3, there was no real break. Even on days off, most students chose to review at home.

Liu Xin and Wu Xiuhua went to work, and Tang Yu, with nothing to do, went online to find Xia Shihan but found she wasn't there. Sitting at his desk, he stared blankly, thinking his total score would definitely be the lowest in the class, and in the city, it would be either the lowest or very poor.

His eyes fell on the small jade bottle on the desk, and he became curious again, picking it up to examine it closely, trying to figure out how to open it. After several attempts, he still couldn't find a way.

Tang Yu tried boiling it in water, heating it with his phone, but nothing worked. The jade bottle remained unchanged.

"Damn, who knows how to open this thing!" Tang Yu, exhausted and sweating, cursed and angrily threw the jade bottle onto the table. Suddenly, he heard a "whoosh," and the table surface trembled.

Tang Yu was startled and looked at the center of the table, only to see a silver needle deeply embedded in it, almost completely buried.

"Ah! This..." Tang Yu quickly backed away, thinking that when he threw it, it must have hit the table and triggered a mechanism, shooting out a needle. He was terrified to think that if the needle had been aimed at him, he would have been dead.

Despite his fear, Tang Yu was also extremely excited because he had finally found a way to open it!

Thinking about the small jade bottle containing such a mechanism, he realized it must hold a significant secret, something truly shocking!

However, Tang Yu didn't dare to approach it, fearing that another needle might shoot out and kill him.

After some thought, Tang Yu went out of the room to get a bamboo stick, hid behind the wall, and used the stick to touch the jade bottle. With a "thud," the jade bottle fell to the ground, and "whoosh, whoosh!" two needles shot out, one embedding in the bed frame and the other in the wall. Tang Yu was scared again, realizing how dangerous it would have been if he hadn't been hiding behind the wall. He used the bamboo stick to move the jade bottle forcefully, and soon, several more silver needles shot out.

"Damn, how many are there?" Tang Yu was both ecstatic and terrified, as the needles kept shooting out.

Tang Yu picked up the jade bottle with the bamboo stick and dropped it heavily on the ground several times. Dozens of needles shot out, and after a while, no more needles came out. Tang Yu finally felt relieved.

Tang Yu thought it must have something to do with boiling, soaking, and heating it. Otherwise, why hadn't it shot out when he had dropped it before? Fortunately, it hadn't shot out before, or he would have been dead.

Tang Yu put down the bamboo stick and slowly approached, still feeling anxious and worried, fearing another needle might shoot out. He thought about how the needles had pierced the wall and table, and how powerful the ancient mechanisms were, still strong even now.

As he approached the jade bottle, Tang Yu carefully picked it up and was surprised to see a small hole pattern forming a Taiji diagram on the bottom!

Tang Yu finally understood that each hole represented a needle, and when all the needles were shot, they naturally formed a Taiji diagram.

The design was truly ingenious!

At this moment, the lid of the jade bottle began to loosen. Tang Yu's heart raced, wondering what shocking secret it held inside.
