Returning to his small nest, Jiang Nan locked his old bicycle to the old locust tree at the door.
The 25-square-meter rental apartment wasn't large, but it was neatly arranged by Jiang Nan.
Under the bed, there were still many goods he had recently purchased for his stall.
Ignoring his rumbling stomach, Jiang Nan drew the curtains and, with a thought, the Spirit Washing Fruit fell into his hand.
Looking at the bright red fruit in his hand, which resembled a plum, Jiang Nan swallowed hard.
"Nothing to be afraid of! I have nothing to lose anyway!"
With that, he swallowed the Spirit Washing Fruit in one bite!
It melted in his mouth...
And then it was gone!
Gone!
What about the promised purification of the body?
Even a plum should have a bit of sweetness, right?
But after five minutes, Jiang Nan suddenly felt a clearer perception of spiritual energy, which was rapidly converging in his body.
In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level was pushed to Black Iron Seventh Rank!
Jiang Nan could feel that his talent had truly been enhanced!
Although he didn't know to what level his talent had been improved, it definitely wasn't E-grade anymore.
He was incredibly excited!
His hands were trembling!
But when he came to his senses, Jiang Nan hurriedly checked his body to see if anything was missing.
Fortunately, nothing was missing!
Drinking a strength potion and ending up bald...
Who knew what side effects the Spirit Washing Fruit might have?
Still uneasy, Jiang Nan stripped naked and examined himself inch by inch.
Just as he was checking the most important part...
"Brother Jiang Nan, you came back so late, you must be hungry, right?"
"I made you a bowl of noodles..."
The door opened, and a girl in a floral dress with a ponytail stood at the door, holding a bowl of noodles.
She saw Jiang Nan frozen in place!
It was a sea of white.
His hands were still trembling from excitement...
The girl's mouth dropped open as she looked at Jiang Nan and then at the crumpled paper ball in the trash can...
Suddenly, she understood!
Her face turned red in an instant.
She slammed the door shut.
"The noodles... I put them at the door, Brother Jiang Nan, eat them after you're done!"
Jiang Nan: "???"
What do you mean "after you're done"?
Did you misunderstand something?
Do you think I was doing something strange?
Before Jiang Nan could explain, the girl had already run off with a red face.
...
The noodles were quite tasty, just a bit salty...
Don't ask, it was the taste of tears!
He could only explain later, since she was the landlord's daughter and they went to the same high school, it would be easy to contact her.
With his emotions stabilized, Jiang Nan began to study the system carefully.
Looking at the Grievance Points, he had over 110,000.
Beating up Wang Lin had earned him a lot, and Li Muyan had also contributed a fair amount.
Enough for another ten consecutive draws!
Thinking that if he got another Spirit Washing Fruit, wouldn't that be great?
[Lucky Wheel! Ten consecutive draws start!]
[Thank you for your patronage!] One Strength Potion as a consolation prize!
[Thank you for your patronage!]...
...
After ten draws, Jiang Nan's face was black!
Blacker than a coal miner's.
Thank you for your patronage? Why is this option on the Lucky Wheel?
Is it because I'm bald?
His inventory now had ten more bottles of Strength Potion.
Wait!
He could sell the Strength Potion at his stall!
Although it would make him bald, the miraculous effects were undeniable!
And he could earn Grievance Points on the side!
Nice!
Deciding on this, Jiang Nan lay on the bed and took out his fifty-yuan domestic smartphone.
He planned to browse his phone for a while before sleeping.
But he stumbled upon the WeChat group for Class 1 of the Spirit Martial Department.
The group was chatting enthusiastically.
"Hey! Brothers and sisters, have you seen the video of the bald guy beating up a Spirit Martial University student in Jiangcheng Night Market? It has over 400,000 views!"
"What's the story? Send it over!"
Soon, someone posted a short video.
In the video, the bald Jiang Nan, wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt, was sitting on Wang Lin and smashing him with a folding stool.
"Damn! This bald guy is so fierce?"
"The screams are so pitiful! It hurts just to watch through the screen!"
"The one being beaten, I think, is a Bronze-level Strength-type Spirit Martial Practitioner, right?"
"This bald guy doesn't look old, but he has the strength to crush him, and he's out selling stuff at a stall?"
"High-level experts are among the common people!"
Jiang Nan chuckled to himself, not realizing he had been filmed.
The video was blurry, and the person filming had shaky hands!
"Hey, doesn't this bald guy look a bit like our classmate Jiang Nan?"
"Him? You must be joking, he's so weak, how could he be a Bronze-level Strength Awakened Practitioner?"
"True, he only reached Black Iron Third Rank in three years of high school! Wasting the Spirit Pearls given to him every month! And he's a Spatial-type, tsk!"
"After the monthly exam tomorrow, we won't be classmates anymore!"
"Goodbye in advance!"
"Goodbye, goodbye!"
Seeing the group chat, Jiang Nan didn't say anything, just smiled coldly.
Tomorrow? He had no intention of leaving!
Just wait and see!
"Wait, isn't the one helping the beaten guy leave our classmate Li Muyan?"
"Really? It is her!"
"I heard she has a boyfriend at Spirit Martial University!"
"@Li Muyan, what's the story, Muyan?"
"@Li Muyan, how did the fight start? Tell us!"
"@Li Muyan, is your boyfriend okay?"
[Grievance Points from Li Muyan +555]
...
The system was constantly refreshing Li Muyan's Grievance Points.
Jiang Nan was delighted! He thought his classmates were so cute, and clearly, she was also watching the group chat!
How could she not be angry? She was still at the hospital with Wang Lin, getting stitches...
So Jiang Nan also posted a message.
God Nan: "@Li Muyan, is the hospital's WiFi really that fast? I envy those who can freeload! My data is almost gone..."
[Grievance Points from Li Muyan +999]
Am I here to freeload?
Can you be any more despicable?
Who doesn't know what's going on?
She didn't say anything from start to finish, but the system's Grievance Points kept refreshing.
Even as Jiang Nan fell asleep, they were still refreshing...
When women hold a grudge... tsk tsk tsk.
The next day, with a great mood, Jiang Nan ran into the landlord's daughter as he was about to leave for school.
"Little Sister Yuting, yesterday I..."
Zhou Yuting glanced at Jiang Nan, her face turning red again.
She blushed and said, "Brother Jiang Nan, you should go to bed earlier and take care of your health!"
Then she ran off, her ponytail swinging, incredibly fast.
Jiang Nan was on the verge of tears: "Is this something I can't explain..."
Little sister, listen to me!
I'm not that kind of person.
I was just checking my body, and the paper in the trash can is just a tissue!
Wearing a baseball cap to cover his bald head, Jiang Nan rode his old bicycle, the "clack clack" sound accompanying him all the way to Jiangcheng No. 1 High School.
The monthly exam was about to start!
