30: Chapter 30 Those legs are so long!

After the two of them walked out of the office, the corridor became much quieter.

It didn't feel like much while they were inside, but now that they were holding these things, the weight suddenly became apparent.

Lu Cheng was looking down at the energy room card when Su Wan's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Thank you."

Lu Cheng turned to look at her, a bit puzzled.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Su Wan pursed her lips, her voice still low.

"I'm not very good at saying these kinds of things."

"But what you said earlier really did benefit me as well."

"I'm very short on resources right now..."

She spoke very frankly; she was just poor right now... These resources were enough to give her a decent boost, and then she could enter the Wasteland Zone to hunt ferocious beasts.

Lu Cheng glanced at her; he hadn't expected Su Wan to still remember such a small matter.

"It was just a small favor."

"Besides, we're the face of No. 3 High School now, isn't it normal to add a bit of budget for the face of the school?"

Su Wan gave a hum of agreement. Now that they were alone... wasn't this the best time to invite him?!

After walking a few steps, she seemed to have made up her mind and suddenly stopped.

"So..."

Lu Cheng was stunned.

"Hm?"

Su Wan's fingertips curled slightly, and her gaze was actually drifting.

"Are you free tonight?"

"I want to..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly got stuck.

Her whole body stiffened for a moment.

No.

She couldn't say it.

That incredibly shameful line in her mind instantly popped up...

"Technician Xiao Wan is at your service."

Su Wan's ears turned bright red in an instant.

Ahhhhh!!

How on earth is one supposed to say something like this in reality!

Even if she was a reincarnator, even if she was the Ice Emperor in her past life, and even if her mental fortitude was steady, this kind of task wasn't something she could just adapt to.

There are still two weeks left...

Next time.

I'll say it next time.

She quickly swallowed the second half of her sentence and changed her words with an expressionless face:

"No... it's nothing."

After saying that, she turned and walked away.

Her steps looked steady enough, but her retreating figure looked for all the world like she was fleeing in panic.

Lu Cheng stood where he was, full of question marks.

"?"

What's the situation?

Ran off halfway through a sentence?

Just as Lu Cheng was feeling puzzled, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He looked down.

[Payment Notification: 120,000 Dragon Coins.]

Lu Cheng: "..."

The next second, the corners of his mouth curled up directly.

The money from betting on himself to win had arrived!

On the other side, in the infirmary.

Xia Xi was lying on the hospital bed clutching her phone. Her face, which had been a bit gloomy, instantly lit up amazingly the moment she saw the payment notification text.

[Received: 1,800,000 Dragon Coins.]

She sat up abruptly, her eyes shining.

One million eight hundred thousand!

A full one million eight hundred thousand!

The person who placed a big bet after Qian Duoduo was none other than her.

Two hundred thousand.

That was her entire savings, accumulated bit by bit since she was a child.

Others always thought she was very rich.

In reality, the Xia family was extremely strict with cash.

If she wanted any cultivation resources, she just had to ask, but her monthly allowance was only five thousand, so saving up to this amount hadn't been easy.

Xia Xi hugged her phone, swinging her legs happily on the bed.

"As expected!"

"Trusting my husband will never result in a loss!"

She quickly transferred the money into her private account, her little face flushed, muttering to herself.

"Save it well, save it well..."

"Use it as my dowry in the future."

The nurse in charge of changing her dressing nearby listened with a strange expression.

This child... she didn't injure her brain during the competition just now, did she???

Of course, Lu Cheng knew nothing about these things.

He only knew now that he had money again, and there was still a job he hadn't done today.

The martial arts tutoring for Qian Duoduo was still waiting for him.

Four thousand for two hours.

This money, it would be a waste not to earn it.

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng put away the energy room card and the potion, picked up his rewards, and his steps became a bit lighter.

When Lu Cheng arrived at the Bailian Martial Arts Hall, he found it exceptionally lively today, with quite a few people gathered around the ring.

"Sister Ying, beat him hard!"

"Don't be a coward! Go up and fight!"

Lu Cheng paused, and before he could get a better look inside, Qian Duoduo had already squeezed out of the crowd and grabbed his arm.

"Brother Lu, let's go, quickly!"

Lu Cheng was pulled off balance, his face full of question marks.

"Go? Go where? Aren't you having class today?"

"There's no time to explain!" Qian Duoduo's voice was distorted with anxiety, "If we don't leave now, it will really be too late!"

Lu Cheng: "?"

Although this fat guy was usually unreliable, he rarely went this crazy.

Just as he was about to pull his hand back, a clear and crisp female voice suddenly came from inside the martial arts hall.

"You must be Lu Cheng, right?"

Lu Cheng looked up.

His gaze passed over Qian Duoduo's round head and landed on the person walking out from behind.

It was a woman.

To be more precise, a very beautiful woman.

She had a tall figure, with legs that were somewhat excessively long. A black training suit clung to her body curves; her waist was slender, her legs were straight, and the lines of her shoulders and back were clean and sharp. A ponytail was tied behind her head, and between her brows and eyes, she carried a kind of aggressive heroism.

Before Lu Cheng could speak, Qian Duoduo had already covered his face with a look of utter despair.

"It's over, it really is too late..."

Lu Cheng glanced at him sideways, then looked at the woman.

"Who are you?"

The woman crossed her arms, her expression calm.

"Qian Shuying."

She lifted her chin, gesturing toward Qian Duoduo beside her.

"This little fatty's sister."

Speaking up to this point, she paused and added very naturally.

"Half-sister."

Lu Cheng: "..."

That's a lot of information.

He slowly turned his head to look at Qian Duoduo, his eyes full of "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Qian Duoduo gave two dry laughs, his eyes darting around, his fingers twirling in front of his chest.

"This... well... that..."

"Speak like a human," Lu Cheng said.

Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth and decided to just give up and let it all out.

"After she awakened, she thought she was super fierce. Recently, she's challenged several peers in the circle, and she beat every single one of them down hard."

"Then I just... said a couple of things."

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes: "A couple of things?"

Qian Duoduo's voice grew quieter and quieter.

"I just said that she was nothing, and compared to you, Brother Lu, she wasn't even worth a single hair..."

Lu Cheng fell silent.

Damn you.

You call that a couple of things?

Qian Duoduo hurriedly tried to remedy the situation: "And then she insisted on seeing you, saying she wanted to test exactly what level you're at."

Qian Shuying took over, her tone very direct.

"That's about it."

"Since you're here, get on the ring."

She scrutinized Lu Cheng, her eyes filled with appraisal and a bit of eagerness to try.

"I also want to see just how strong the person is that Qian Duoduo could brag about like that."

After hearing this, Lu Cheng's first reaction wasn't anger, but speechlessness.

He spread his hands.

"I refuse."

"First, I don't like fighting."

"Second, regardless of winning or losing, there's no benefit for me, it would just be a waste of time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy crowd around them fell briefly silent.

Many of the veteran students by the ring showed expressions of watching a show.

In the Bailian Martial Arts Hall, there was currently no one who dared to reject Qian Shuying to her face like this.

Qian Shuying was also stunned for a moment, and then a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

She didn't waste words and directly took out a vial of potion from the bag beside her.

The pale red liquid swayed slightly in the transparent bottle, glowing with a gentle luster under the lights.

Advanced Qi and Blood Potion.

Lu Cheng's gaze instantly glued onto it.

Qian Shuying shook the potion in her hand, her tone still steady.

"Fight one match."

"Regardless of winning or losing, it's yours."
