Chapter 12

Special people always have special abilities.

Du Nan didn’t believe that as a city citizen and a physical technique powerhouse, he would easily lend several billion to Old Zhou. If he could lend it, it naturally meant he believed Old Zhou had that value. The first sentence shouted over the phone wasn’t about money, which proved that the person didn’t care at all.

On the contrary.

He was more concerned about the ancient version of the Star Refining Technique that was ‘stolen’: the old book among the two, which cost 220 new and old together.

I’ve never seen this book!

Du Nan ‘rearranged’ his memory and modified a part of the bug in his brain... well, anyway, when he met that fiery old man, he would say it like this, and even if beaten to death, he wouldn’t admit to buying it. This was a historical mistake, and today’s news had already corrected it: no book, really no book!

More than a month later.

The mid-term exams began, and Du Nan didn’t participate. As a top student, he had already graduated.

During this period, the school bully Zhu Dachang was originally hospitalized, but was later thrown out. The father he had deceived, it was said, genuinely repented, gave up all his positions, and went to the front line of the working people to participate in the struggle, meaning: no more official position, he went to dig in the mine.

The new mentor of the ancient literature class, Comrade Lu, was intensively educated overnight by the former vice-principal, no, by Director Fang... It was said that the sound of this education made even the children next door ‘moved’ to tears, and they couldn’t be comforted to sleep. The next day, Comrade Lu deeply reflected and gave up all his positions, and also went to the front line of the working people: to dig in the mine.

Whether these two prodigal sons would have a chance to come out of the mine was another matter.

Du Nan didn’t care about these trivial matters. On the day of the graduation exam at Baiquan City Military and Physical College, three military vehicles were sent to block the entrance. However, the old man Zhou, with a ten-star escape skill, had long disappeared, leaving only his teammate ‘Little Du Nan’ to be caught.

The city college wanted people.

The new principal of the poor school didn’t dare to say a word. They were citizens, you were commoners... if your shoes were dirty, it wasn’t even your turn to clean them!

A small procedure was completed.

The next day, Du Nan packed everything and took the first step into ‘city life’.

“Are you a commoner?”

At Baiquan City station, Du Nan stopped a taxi. The driver, however, threw a disdainful look and asked. Seeing Du Nan’s strange expression, the taxi driver pointed to his collar, where there was a button with the character ‘three’. The driver had a very arrogant expression, as if saying: Sir, I, a third-class citizen.

Du Nan looked down and saw that his clothes were very clean: there was nothing on them.

“A commoner wants to take a car.” The driver didn’t say too much, and drove off in a puff of smoke, leaving Du Nan in the wind, disheveled.

Thinking: You’re just a driver, what are you so arrogant about?

Third-class citizens are so great! Third-class citizens don’t need to eat! I’m a commoner, and I owe you car money?

“Handsome guy, waiting for a car?” Du Nan’s slightly tall figure attracted a few pairs of beautiful eyes. Just as he was about to chat, the next second, when they saw that Du Nan’s collar was empty, their faces immediately changed. A kind of unmasked disgust rose to their heavily made-up faces. Without waiting for Du Nan to speak, the three beauties took a few steps back, as if Du Nan were highly toxic.

After moving away, they whispered: “Tsk, it turns out he’s a poor person.”

“Poor people are so smelly.”

“So disgusting, being a poor person and still being so handsome, what a waste.”

Du Nan’s lips twitched.

He didn’t speak.

Thinking: If you three were men, with just these words, I would send you to the hospital to get your bones reset. Are poor people always smelly? Are poor people not allowed to be handsome? You look down on poor people? If I revealed my identity as a magic ability awakener, the three of you would kneel and lick my feet on the street. What kind of education do these city citizens have, with their tails up to the sky.

Squeak!

The bus stopped, and Du Nan didn’t care about the three girls who were avoiding him like the plague, and got on the bus by himself.

Five seconds later.

“Driver, stop, stop.” A plump and fleshy noblewoman covered her nose, fanning the air with her fat hand, and shouted loudly: “What’s going on, comrade driver, how did a poor person get on? You don’t even manage it, can such people get on the bus?”

The driver was taken aback.

He smiled and said: “Sorry, the bus rules... commoners can also ride the bus. The three prohibitions for commoners don’t include riding the bus. Everyone be kind, he’s probably a student, it’s not easy for him to come to the city to study, bear with it.”

“The poor people are so smelly.” The noblewoman listened, looking unhappy.

In her mind.

The three prohibitions for commoners were far from enough; at least a ‘three hundred prohibitions’ or ‘three thousand prohibitions’ would be better. Or, prohibit poor people from entering the city.

“Ha, there are also clean poor people.” The driver tried to ease the tension.

The people on the bus were still unhappy. It seemed that riding in the same bus as a poor person was also a matter of losing face. The driver, fearing a change, quickly started the bus. Seeing Du Nan’s simple clothes and the appearance of a young student, he thought this child was not easy, and couldn’t bear to drive him away. As a bus driver, he couldn’t say much, but he would take him as far as he could.

Du Nan’s face was expressionless.

The echoes of ‘commoner’ and ‘poor person’ in his ears.

It turned out that in the minds of most city citizens, people like himself didn’t even count as commoners, but only as ‘poor people’. In the laws of Blue Sea Star, commoners were already the lowest level. He didn’t expect that the high and mighty citizens would create an even lower class of poor people. This attitude, even if he were a cockroach, it wouldn’t be this bad.

“Hey!”

Not wanting to cause trouble, Du Nan sat calmly. At this moment, someone was displeased. In some people’s minds, once on the bus, poor people should huddle in the corner.

“Hey, you...” A tall and strong man stood up.

Du Nan looked up, without responding.

“Coming to the city to study? By your age, you’re probably in a high-level class? To be able to come here with a poor person’s identity, you must have some special skills, right?” The strong man asked with concern, but his eyes showed a sinister intent, clearly not meaning well.

Du Nan ignored him.

He didn’t want to argue with a bug.

“Answer me, kid, are you impolite? When a citizen asks you a question, you should stand straight and answer loudly.” The strong man, seeing Du Nan ignore him, couldn’t help but turn red and slightly angry.

Du Nan looked at him as if he were still mentally ill and needed more medicine.

“Damn, the kid has some guts, daring to give Strong Brother a bad look.” The man calling himself ‘Strong Brother’ rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit, and shouted: “Get up, Strong Brother will educate you today, stand up.”

“Zhao Qiang, that’s enough, don’t scare the kid.” The driver, seeing the situation, helped out.

“Pah, who scared him, it was this little thief who glared at me first. Damn, he made me so angry, Old Zhang, don’t say more, watch me deal with him.” Zhao Qiang rolled up his sleeves again, looking fierce, but didn’t dare to hit. After a few poses, he couldn’t find the right spot to punch.

Finally, he put down his fists.

He stretched out his palm, looking generous: “Alright, Old Zhang, you’ve helped. Kid, give Strong Brother a little iced tea money to cool down, and we’ll call it a day.”

“Zhao Qiang, don’t cause trouble, the kid is still a student.” The driver quickly shouted.

The other passengers were delighted to see the commotion.

“Hmph, I only see he’s a student. If not, I would have already hit him...”

Squeak!

Before Zhao Qiang could finish, Du Nan reached for the steel pipe next to his seat, slowly twisting it and deforming it, making a sound that made people’s teeth hurt. His expression was completely relaxed, as if he were just crushing a cake. The people on the bus saw this and their faces turned pale.

“Come on, give Little Brother a little iced tea money, and we’ll call it a day.” Du Nan repeated the words, reaching out to Zhao Qiang.

The plot reversed.

Zhao Qiang was drenched in sweat.

At the back of the bus, a solemn old man spoke: “Kid, a commoner robbing a citizen is a more serious crime, at least ten years in prison.”

Zhao Qiang, hearing the voice of God, quickly nodded.

Du Nan glanced at the back of the bus and found that this old man had some ability. At least, he could take down the whole bus without a problem. Of course, not including himself. Hearing the old man speak, Du Nan only smiled: “Sometimes a commoner, sometimes a poor person, I’m almost confused. Is there something wrong with your city citizens’ education? Or are your brains all sick and not cured?”

“Young man, don’t be arrogant just because you have a little strength. It’s better to suffer a little when young than to get into big trouble when grown up.” The old man was slightly angry, lecturing.

“I think that some people who help evil and bully the good waste their lives, even if they live for half a century, they are going backward.” Du Nan didn’t like this old man, at least in terms of character, he was far inferior to the driver, even with his strength.

“You... hmpf, the old man won’t argue with you. A commoner robbing a citizen is unforgivable.” The old man said fiercely.

Du Nan waved his hand.

Indicating that your intelligence is too low, I can’t have a normal conversation with you.

He turned to Zhao Qiang and said: “See, he’s old and confused. You’re in your prime, not confused, and your ears are fine, right? I, a ‘poor person,’ robbing a citizen is a serious crime. So, would a good person like you obediently ‘give’ me money to support my studies?”
