# Chapter 6: Special Skill! Smashing Bricks with the Forehead
As the sky grew darker, Jiangnan's night market began to fill with people.
After Jiangnan's impassioned shouting, he actually managed to attract quite a crowd.
Two passing young ladies whispered to each other.
"Hey hey hey! Isn't that the bald guy who got his face whacked by a stool yesterday? He's setting up a stall again?"
"Oh my, it really is him! Kind of handsome actually!"
"What? You interested?"
"No way! Bald isn't my type. If he had hair, a refreshingly handsome guy like that, I'd definitely ask for his WeChat!"
Jiangnan: "..."
System! Give me back my details!
Ladies, I swear I didn't go bald on purpose...
A tall guy following behind the two ladies rolled his eyes and said, "Let's just enjoy the night market. Tomorrow our team's heading into the Spirit Ruins!"
The lady pouted: "Always saying such depressing things. Come on! Let's go check it out!"
Tall guy: "What's so interesting about a bald guy? He's not as handsome as me anyway!"
The three of them came to the stall to browse the goods. Quite a few items made the two ladies blush...
Jiangnan had sharp eyes and spotted a small red elastic band showing at Zheng Wei's waist as he bent over.
He grinned slyly: "What's up, bro? Is this your zodiac year? Wearing red underwear?"
"My red shorts never fade! Wear them with confidence! Ten bucks for two pairs!"
Zheng Wei's face darkened!
The hell are you looking at?
[From Zheng Wei's resentment value +666!]
The two ladies followed Jiangnan's gaze and naturally noticed the flash of red at Zheng Wei's waist. They were in hysterics!
"Hahaha, Zheng Wei! So this really is your zodiac year! So red!"
"So scandalous..."
"Listen to the boss, get two pairs! No fading! Wear them with confidence! Wearing red in your zodiac year brings good luck!"
Jiangnan chimed in: "The two fairy sisters are right! Get two pairs!"
[From Zheng Wei's resentment value +666!]
Think you're tougher than me?
When I had hair, I was handsome as hell, you know?
Swipe to pay, ten bucks in the account.
Zheng Wei, full of pent-up frustration, fixed his eyes on the bottled water on the stall.
He laughed when he saw it.
"Farmer's Three Punches? What's this?"
Jiangnan perked up immediately!
"Bro, you wouldn't know! Legendary Farmer's Three Punches. It's sweet when you drink it!"
"One bottle down, strength increases tenfold! Just three punches to take down any enemy!"
Zheng Wei's eye twitched slightly!
The hell is Farmer's Three Punches sweet?
The bottle's clearly been opened, hasn't it?
Legendary? Mineral water can be legendary?
Waiter, give me a bottle of '82 mineral water! That's the real stuff!
"Boss, you're kidding, right? This is just water, isn't it?" Zheng Wei said with a curl of his lip.
The two ladies were also confused. Legendary mineral water? Impressive, impressive!
Jiangnan glared: "Oh yeah? You don't believe me?"
With that, he picked up a red brick from the roadside and smashed it hard against his own forehead.
The ladies screamed in fright: "Ah!!! He..."
Before they could finish, the red brick "bang" broke clean in half against Jiangnan's forehead.
Zheng Wei: "..."
Ladies: "..."
Are street vendors this hardcore these days?
"Still don't believe me?"
Jiangnan grabbed another red brick and smashed it—"bang, bang"—making everyone watching flinch.
"I tell you, before drinking Farmer's Three Punches, I could barely get on the kang. After drinking it, I can split bricks with my head and rip manhole covers with my hands!"
"Still don't believe me?"
He picked up another brick to smash against his forehead.
Zheng Wei quickly stopped him: "Bro, don't do that... bro!"
"I'll buy... I'll buy them, alright?"
"How much?"
Jiangnan wiped the brick dust off his forehead and grinned: "Not expensive! Ten thousand a bottle!"
Zheng Wei nearly choked on his own spit!
"Ten thousand? Your legendary mineral water is a bit pricey!"
Jiangnan shrugged: "The effects are good!"
The two ladies got interested and egged him on:
"Zheng Wei, just try it! You can afford ten thousand!"
"Right? He split a brick with his head! He worked so hard!"
Seeing the ladies' expectant looks, Zheng Wei could only give in!
Sigh, consider it paying for a show!
WeChat transfer, ten thousand received.
Jiangnan quickly called out: "Hold on, bro. You still owe me one more!"
Zheng Wei was stunned: "Wasn't it ten thousand? What's this about one more?"
Jiangnan said matter-of-factly: "The brick costs money, doesn't it? A brick is fifty cents!"
[From Zheng Wei's resentment value +666!]
I have to pay for the brick you smashed?
This business deal—you make a profit at every turn!
"Wait right there. If this doesn't work, you're in trouble!"
Zheng Wei didn't hesitate. Under the expectant gaze of the two ladies, he unscrewed the Farmer's Three Punches and chugged it down.
"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!"
Instantly! A wild surge of power erupted from within his body, flushing Zheng Wei's face red!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! It's real!"
Zheng Wei's eyes were full of excitement. He was originally a Bronze two-star strength-type awakened. With the tenfold boost, his strength reached a terrifying level.
He clenched his fist slightly and actually crushed the air in his grip!
"Boss! It really works! Your family's legendary mineral water is amazing!"
With this, tomorrow's team expedition into the Spirit Ruins would be much more doable!
Jiangnan smiled awkwardly: "Yeah, yeah, it works. Would I cheat you?"
But the two ladies' mouths were wide open!
"Zheng... Zheng Wei! You went bald!"
"You really went bald! Hahahaha, I can't help it! What a shiny bald head!"
"Even brighter than the streetlight!"
The two ladies doubled over laughing, holding their stomachs, tears streaming down their faces.
Zheng Wei touched his head!
Sss~
The night wind blew across it—an icy chill!
He really was bald now...
[From Zheng Wei's resentment value +999!]
[From Zheng Wei...]
The system's resentment value refreshed wildly. In no time, it surpassed ten thousand...
Zheng Wei jumped in fury: "Boss, are you messing with me?! Where's my hair?"
Jiangnan patted Zheng Wei on the shoulder: "Oh, bro, don't sweat the small stuff!"
Haha!
What goes around comes around!
Baldness spares no one?
"Small stuff? I'll kill you!" Zheng Wei's eyes turned red, but the two ladies stopped him on the spot.
"Oh, bald looks good on you too!"
"Besides, he didn't lie to you. Farmer's Three Punches really worked..."
"Pfft hahaha... Let me laugh for a bit longer. I can't take it!"
Jiangnan winked at the two ladies and grinned: "So now, between the two of us, I'm the more handsome one, right?"
Lady: "Pfft... You're handsome! Much more handsome!"
"Want to add me on WeChat?"
"Sure thing!"
The three of them left. Zheng Wei's lonely silhouette was especially desolate.
His gleaming bald head reflected the streetlight, and the two ladies were still laughing...
Just then, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class sped in and stopped at the entrance of the night market.
From the driver's side stepped a gorgeous beauty in a jacket and hot pants.
She was stunningly beautiful, like a snow lotus blooming beneath the night sky.
Short silver hair fell to her shoulders.
Her blue eyes were as deep as the ocean.
She was clutching her phone, baring her fangs with a cute, fierce expression.
"It's definitely him! I'm sure this time!"
From the passenger side got out a girl wearing a white orchid-patterned shirt and slim-fit jeans, with a sun hat on her head.
She snickered: "Xiao Yao! You've been searching for almost half a year! You always say that!"
Xia Yao said angrily: "Hmph! He thinks shaving his head means I won't recognize him? That black-hearted profiteer!"
"Oh! Just thinking about it makes me mad!"
With that, she grabbed Zhong Yingxue's arm and headed straight for Jiangnan's night market.
You could hear Xia Yao grinding her teeth.
Zhong Yingxue covered her mouth, giggling nonstop: "That pair of shorts really ran badly."
Xia Yao glared: "Shh! Don't say it! It's so embarrassing!"
