# Chapter 3: Seriously, Is the Hospital WiFi Fast?
I rode all the way back to my little nest and locked the old 28-inch bicycle to the locust tree at the entrance.
The twenty-five-square-meter rented room wasn't big, but Jiangnan kept it neat and tidy.
There were quite a few street-vendor items piled under the bed.
Jiangnan ignored his growling stomach, pulled the curtains shut, and with a thought, the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Fruit fell into his hand.
Staring at the red, plum-like fruit in his palm, Jiangnan swallowed his saliva.
"What's there to be afraid of? I've got nothing left to lose anyway!"
As he spoke, he swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Fruit in one bite!
It dissolved on his tongue...
And then it was gone!
Just like that!
What about the whole "cleansing the marrow and purifying the meridians" thing?
Even if I'd eaten a plum, there'd be at least some sweetness to it, right?
But after five minutes, Jiangnan suddenly felt his perception of spiritual energy becoming clearer, and it started gathering frantically toward his body.
In an instant, his cultivation was pushed to Black Iron Seven Stars!
Jiangnan could feel that his talent had truly been enhanced!
Although he didn't know what level his talent had risen to, it definitely wasn't E-grade anymore.
His heart was racing with excitement!
His hands were even trembling!
But coming back to his senses, Jiangnan quickly checked his body to see if anything was missing.
Thankfully, no parts were missing!
Last time he drank the Strength Potion, he ended up bald.
Who knows what side effects this Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Fruit might have.
Jiangnan still wasn't at ease, so he began a thorough examination!
Just as Jiangnan was finishing up his inspection—
"Jiangnan gege, you came back so late, you must not have eaten dinner yet, right?"
"I made you a bowl of noodles..."
The door swung open. A fresh-faced girl in a floral-print dress with a ponytail stood there holding a bowl of noodles, looking lovely and shy.
What greeted her eyes was Jiangnan, who was bent over, carefully examining something!
The girl's mouth fell open, her face full of disbelief!
As if she suddenly understood something!
Her pretty face flushed bright red in an instant.
"Bang!" She slammed the door shut.
"The... the noodles are by the door for you. Eat them when Jiangnan gege is done with... his business!"
Jiangnan: "???"
Hey hey hey!
What do you mean, "eat them when I'm done"???
Are you misunderstanding something?
Do you think I was doing something weird in here???
Before Jiangnan could explain, the girl had already run off, her face still red.
...
The noodles were pretty good, just a little salty...
Don't ask. If you do, just know it's the taste of tears!
He'd have to find time to explain later. Anyway, she was the landlord's daughter and went to the same school as him, so it wouldn't be hard to get in touch.
Calming down, Jiangnan began to seriously study the system.
He looked at the Resentment Points—over 110,000 in total.
Because he'd beaten Wang Lin to a pulp, he'd raked it in, and Li Muyan had contributed quite a bit too.
That was enough for another ten-pull!
If he got another Marrow Cleansing Fruit or something, wouldn't that be amazing?
[Lucky Wheel! Ten-Pull Draw begins!]
[Thank You for Your Patronage!] Consolation prize: One Strength Potion!
[Thank You for Your Patronage!] ...
...
After ten pulls, Jiangnan's face had already darkened!
Darker than a coal miner's.
Thank you my foot! Why is "Thank You for Your Patronage" even an option on the Lucky Wheel?
Is it because I'm bald?
His inventory now had ten more "bottles" of Strength Potion.
Wait a minute!
He could set up a stall and sell the Strength Potion!
Sure, you'd go bald after drinking it, but that didn't matter—strength creates miracles!
He could also earn Resentment Points on the side!
Nice!
With his mind made up, Jiangnan lay down on the bed and pulled out the domestically made budget phone he'd bought for fifty bucks at a street stall.
He was about to scroll through his phone for a bit before sleeping.
But then he stumbled upon the Spirit Martial Class 1 WeChat group.
The group chat was buzzing.
"Hey, guys! Have you seen the video on Weibo of the bald guy at the Jiangcheng night market beating the crap out of a Spirit Martial University student? It's got over 400,000 views already!"
"What's going on? Send it over!"
Soon enough, someone posted a short video.
In the video, a bald Jiangnan wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt was sitting on top of Wang Lin.
He was slamming away with a small stool!
"Damn! This bald guy is that fierce?"
"The guy's screams are brutal! I can feel the pain even through the screen!"
"The guy getting beaten—am I seeing this right? Isn't he a Bronze-grade Strength-type Spirit Martial Artist?"
"This bald guy doesn't look that big, but he's strong enough to crush him, and he's out here running a street stall?"
"A master among the common folk!"
Jiangnan snickered behind the screen. He didn't expect someone had recorded it.
But the footage was blurry—the guy's hands were shaking!
"Hey, doesn't this bald guy kind of look like our classmate Jiangnan?"
"Him? Give me a break. He's so weak, how could he take down a Bronze-grade Strength-type Awakener?"
"True. He spent three years just to reach Black Iron Three Stars! A total waste of the spirit beads they give him every month. And a Spatial-type? Pfft."
"After tomorrow's monthly exam, he won't be our classmate anymore!"
"Good riddance!"
"Yeah, good riddance!"
Watching the group chat chatter on, Jiangnan said nothing. He just sneered coldly.
Tomorrow? Jiangnan had no intention of leaving!
Just wait until they all drop their jaws in shock!
"Hold on. Isn't that girl helping the beaten guy leave at the end of the video our classmate Li Muyan?"
"Wait? It really is her!"
"I did hear she's dating a guy from Spirit Martial University!"
"@Li Muyan, what happened, Yan-mei?"
"@Li Muyan, how did the fight start? Spill it!"
"@Li Muyan, is your boyfriend okay?"
[From Li Muyan's Resentment Value +555]
...
The system kept refreshing with Li Muyan's Resentment Value.
Jiangnan was overjoyed! His classmates were just too adorable. Obviously, she was watching the group chat too!
How could she not be furious? She was still at the hospital with Wang Lin getting stitches...
So Jiangnan sent a message too.
Nan Shen: "@Li Muyan, the hospital WiFi must be super fast, right? I'm really jealous of you freeloaders! My data plan is almost used up..."
[From Li Muyan's Resentment Value +999]
Was she there to freeload WiFi, for crying out loud?
Could you be any more despicable?
Who did this didn't know the score?
From start to finish, she didn't say a word, but the system's Resentment Value kept refreshing.
It kept going even until Jiangnan fell asleep...
Women hold grudges... tsk tsk tsk.
The next day, in a great mood, Jiangnan ran into the landlord's daughter as soon as he stepped out. She was carrying her backpack, ready for school.
"Yuqing little sis, about yesterday..."
Zhou Yuqing glanced at Jiangnan, and her pretty face flushed red again.
Shyly, she said, "Jiangnan gege, you should still rest early at night and take better care of your health!"
With that, she shook her ponytail and ran off, quick as could be.
Jiangnan wanted to cry but had no tears: "I guess I'll never be able to explain myself now, huh..."
Little sis, listen to your big bro!
Bro really isn't that kind of person!
Bro was just checking his body—honestly wasn't doing anything unspeakable!
Wearing a baseball cap to cover his bald head, Jiangnan rode his 28-inch bicycle, "click-clacking" all the way to school.
The monthly exam was about to start!
