Chen Lu asked doubtfully, "The competition rules don't forbid Breeders from participating. In this year's Star Silver competition, the first person to appear was a female Breeder."
Li Cunxu said, "It's my fault for not being clear. The competition I meant was the one within the school, not the formal competition organized by the Alliance."
Cao Xianzhi gave a few reminders about being careful on the way home and not casually revealing one's talent, then announced school was over.
There was nothing else to do today, so keeping the students at school held no meaning. As for studying and classes? They would only officially begin tomorrow after the class divisions were made.
As soon as Cao Xianzhi left, the classroom immediately became noisy.
Many girls surrounded Chen Lu, adding her Pet Trust account, and Li Cunxu was squeezed out of his seat by the surging crowd of girls.
On the way home from school, besides discussing who awakened a powerful talent, most of the conversation revolved around which Pet Beast to choose.
The wealthy ones were preparing to purchase Pet Beasts at the Pet Beast Shop, while the poor ones were waiting to select the free Pet Beasts gifted by the Alliance.
The potential of Pet Beasts in the Pet Beast Shop was much better than the free Pet Beasts given by the Alliance.
However, the vast majority chose the Alliance's free Pet Beasts because Pet Beasts were simply too expensive. A common Pet Beast Youngling required one hundred thousand, and one with slightly better Aptitude cost hundreds of thousands. Ordinary families simply could not afford it.
Walking out of the School Gate, he saw a red sports car.
It wasn't the sports car that caught the eye, but the stunningly beautiful girl in it.
The girl's Silky Hair fluttered in the wind, and her Eyes, like scattered stars, gazed upon the world, involuntarily captivating anyone who looked.
A few people, in order to look at her, failed to watch the road, crashing into the streetlights on either side of the School Gate, and one even tumbled headfirst into the flower bed by the roadside.
Standing on the rooftop, overlooking this scene, the Principal's mouth twitched a few times.
The quality of this year's students is somewhat worrying!
The girl waved, and Chen Lu trotted over.
Li Cunxu guessed that people from the Mo Lan Chen Family had probably come to pick up Chen Lu.
The girl whispered a few words to Chen Lu, who got into the car to wait. The girl then got out and walked toward Li Cunxu.
Looking for me? Probably not. Li Cunxu didn't recognize such a beauty.
The girl arrived in front of Li Cunxu, slightly annoyed, and said, "Why are you staring at me?"
Everyone is staring, why single me out? Li Cunxu became furious. Was she looking for trouble?
Li Cunxu was angry but made no move.
《Divine Might》 There is a rule in this game: the more beautiful a person is, the more dangerous they are.
Given this girl's Appearance, she could be the image spokesperson for the ten great Holy City Pupil Capitals. Such a beautiful person should not be provoked.
Li Cunxu's thoughts raced, and he immediately devised a countermeasure.
Apologize!
As long as I apologize quickly, no one in Pupil Capital can touch me.
Before Li Cunxu could apologize, the girl spoke.
"You don't even know to call me 'older sister'!"
"Huh?"
The girl tugged at both of Li Cunxu's cheeks.
"Call me older sister."
Who are you? Am I that casual of a person?
"Older sister!"
The girl was dissatisfied, "That didn't sound sincere at all. Say it again."
Don't push it too far.
"Older sister."
The girl said, "Little Xu, you haven't recognized me yet. I'm so disappointed!"
Knowing my nickname, could it be someone I know?
Someone who knows Chen Lu, could it be...
Li Cunxu tentatively asked, "Chen Xi?"
"Mm, looks like you haven't forgotten me."
Chen Xi nodded in satisfaction, then stood with her hands on her hips, annoyed, "Why didn't you call me Sister Chen Xi?"
This woman's change of expression was too smooth, like a master of Sichuan opera face-changing.
Chen Xi straightened Li Cunxu's collar. "What talent did you awaken?"
"Bountiful Ranch."
"A very good talent. This is for you, as a congratulatory gift from me." Chen Xi handed Li Cunxu a Contract Document.
Before Li Cunxu could look closely, Chen Xi patted his shoulder, dropped a line telling him to work hard, and left.
Chen Lu asked curiously, "Sister Chen Xi, what did you just give him?"
"A Land Deed for a ranch located on the Muyuan Plain."
"Ah, that's so precious. But, Sister Chen Xi, didn't you say you only have a purely lodging relationship with Li Cunxu? Why give him something so valuable?" Chen Lu was confused.
Chen Xi said with a profound expression, "Deceased father, missing mother, paralyzed Younger Sister, and a bitter life—if I don't help him, who will?"
Chen Xi's Parents died when she was young. If she hadn't been adopted by relatives, she would have been sent to the Chen Family Welfare Institute, or perhaps an outside welfare institute.
The relatives avoided her like the plague, afraid of taking on such a big burden. At Chen Xi's most desperate moment, it was Li Cunxu's mother, Chen Lan, who extended a helping hand.
Although Chen Lan was Chen Xi's paternal aunt, in reality, the blood relation was very thin; she was a distant relative sharing the same surname outside the five degrees of kinship.
It was ridiculous: the closest relatives avoided her, yet Chen Lan, who had little relation, actively embraced her.
She had three objectives for returning to Pupil Capital this time.
First, to find out who the Murderer was that killed her Parents.
Second, to find out who the Murderer was that killed Li Cunxu's Parents.
Third, to help her younger brother.
"It's actually a ranch Land Deed. I owe a huge favor."
Li Cunxu stared down at the Land Deed in a daze. He accepted it; he really needed this ranch. Furthermore, he was a Transmigrator, after all, and was confident he could repay the favor.
"The ranch Land Deed was prepared beforehand. As expected, there are no secrets in the Awakening Day classroom."
Li Cunxu tucked the Land Deed into his chest pocket and boarded the bus home.
The Pet Beast Shop was bustling today, having received many rare Pet Beasts not usually seen in Pupil Capital, but Li Cunxu didn't join the excitement.
Why join the fun? He wouldn't get any money from it; going would only make him envious of others.
Li Cunxu took out his room key, opened the door, and was stunned.
His Younger Sister, who was paralyzed in bed, was sitting up in a wheelchair, just like Stephen Hawking.
Li Cunxu froze, and his Younger Sister, Li Anle, also froze.
Li Cunxu narrowed his Eyes; he seemed to know how the Original Body died.
Li Cunxu remained silent, grabbing the claw hammer from the living room table. Li Anle quickly controlled the wheelchair's handrail controller and backed away.
"Brother, no, don't."
Li Anle pleaded. How could the wheelchair's speed match a person's, especially when it was moving backward? Li Cunxu brought the hammer down, smashing the wheelchair's controller, sending sparks flying from the wires.
Li Cunxu raised the claw hammer again. Li Anle was terrified, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful and lovely.
"Brother, I was wrong, don't hit me."
Although Li Anle was young, she was already a very beautiful Little Girl embryo; her tearful appearance made people's hearts ache.
If it were anyone else, they would have softened, but she was facing her own brother, whom she knew inside and out.
Li Cunxu brought the hammer down on Li Anle's wrist.
"Brother, I beg you."
Li Anle's eyes welled up with tears.
Li Cunxu sighed, "You're wrong. At this moment, you should be screaming, not continuing to beg for mercy after your wrist was hit by a hammer, especially for a Little Girl."
"Look at your fair and pale little hand. After being hit once, it's not even red, let alone swollen."
Li Anle's cute Appearance changed, becoming gloomy and Evil. She shrieked, "I'm going to kill you, kill you."
Li Cunxu sighed once more, "You forgot, you already killed me this morning."
Li Anle looked confused, and Li Cunxu narrowed his Eyes slightly.
"It seems you weren't the one who poisoned me this morning. Are you the Evil Personality or the Evil Personality?"
