18: Who said this snack is bad, this snack is so great

“Crack—”

Listen, this is the sound of a filter breaking.

No, no.

Is this Han Lie real or fake?

If he hadn't seen it wrong, what he was holding in his hand should have been a grilled sausage from a roadside stall. Was that really something a human could eat?

Just as he was thinking,

Han Lie had already entered the classroom, and Old Ge followed behind. The latter simply said a few words and had Han Lie introduce himself.

“Hello everyone, I’m Han Lie!”

“I like to eat!”

Han Lie gave everyone a heads-up. Currently, his only way to become stronger was to eat junk snacks.

So, inevitably, he would continuously eat these things, even in class. He had also discussed this with the principal.

Nothing could stop him from becoming stronger.

Of course, he would eat secretly. It wasn't about maintaining a good image; he just felt that secretly eaten food tasted better.

And so,

Han Lie officially joined the Experimental Class, sitting in the very back, next to Cui Dazhi, though it was a bit different from what everyone had imagined.

Where was the inspiring persona they had talked about?

...............

The first class was on the Hundred Solutions to Ferocious Beasts. It's worth mentioning that teaching materials varied across different regions.

In Director Feng, where Han Lie was, the indigenous inhabitants of the surrounding secret realms were mostly ferocious beasts, predominantly ice, earth, and lightning elements, so these were the main topics discussed.

“The Thunder Roc is a second-grade ferocious beast!”

The teacher on stage drew vivid diagrams and explained with a serious expression: “Second-grade ferocious beasts are equivalent to our human cultivators. Their strength varies greatly. The Thunder Roc’s combat power ranks among the top performers among the 8,151 types of second-grade ferocious beasts surveyed in China. If you ever see one, your first instinct must be to flee…”

“If you can’t escape, remember that the Thunder Roc’s attacks are mainly fierce wing strikes. Just remember that when it spreads its wings, it’s the timing for it to launch an attack and for you to dodge. Also, the Thunder Roc has a powerful ultimate move. When it’s extremely enraged, it will activate Electric Gaze, which is….”

The teacher lectured endlessly, and the students below listened very attentively, including Han Lie, because perhaps in the not-too-distant future,

These knowledge points might save their lives.

However, Han Lie himself didn't notice that the snack he casually popped into his mouth was displayed as 'Thunder Roc Essence Blood' in the item description.

A classmate noticed, “No, why is Han Lie still eating in class?”

............

Secret Realm History class,

All the lessons had been taught, and now they were in the review phase. The teacher lectured on the stage, and the students listened below.

Han Lie listened with great interest.

It was a story!

Hearing about those mighty figures moving mountains and filling seas, shattering the sky with their fists, how could a normal high school senior not yearn for such power!

And so,

He continued to put snacks into his mouth.

Even though he felt very full!

He was still gritting his teeth and persisting.

More classmates noticed, “Why does this Han Lie eat in every class? No, doesn’t the teacher care?!”

Of course, the teacher didn't care.

The principal had already given instructions: as long as Han Lie didn't disrupt classroom order, he could secretly eat in the back as much as he wanted.

Han Lie ate very carefully,

But,

Everyone else's attention was on him.

.............

Universe of Myriad Races Introduction class,

Han Lie furiously devoured Demonic Wheat.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Identification class,

Han Lie stuffed a pile of cheap goods into his mouth.

Food Nutrition Pairing class,

Han Lie stuffed a jumbled mess into his mouth.

The classmates were all stunned.

When class was over, it was hard for them not to gather together and discuss wildly. Leaving aside Han Lie's dark horse background, even if he were just a regular student, doing something so outrageous,

They would at least have to grumble about him a bit.

“What the heck is this Han Lie?!”

“He’s eating snacks like crazy in class. Who said he doesn’t like snacks? Step forward and take two bullets! And what is he even eating?!”

“A table full of snacks, no more than five hundred yuan!”

A classmate gave their assessment.

“I think that’s too much!” The person next to him chimed in, “Does he do this in the regular class too? How could someone like this possibly have a blood qi value of 100? And why doesn’t the teacher do anything about him?”

“He eats so deliciously....”

“What’s so great about it being delicious?!”

Someone glanced at the person next to them, “Eating like that, where would he even have room to absorb nutrients? If you ask me, Han Lie is just wasting his talent!!”

“Exactly!”

Someone else was equally indignant, “Heaven is truly unfair, giving talent to someone like this to squander. Why can’t it see hardworking people like me?!”

“How about we tell the teacher?”

Someone suggested.

Actually, their impression of Han Lie was still relatively good, because besides eating junk snacks, he didn't seem to have any other bad habits.

He was always smiling.

And he had a good relationship with Cui Dazhi. People who could get along well with the big simpleton Cui were generally not cunning.

So, when someone suggested telling the teacher,

A few people's eyes lit up.

“...Let’s not!”

Suddenly someone spoke, “I think Han Lie is probably trying to attract everyone’s attention this way. Coming from a regular class, he might feel a bit inferior, and it’s normal to crave attention. He’ll probably be fine in a couple of days!”

Hearing this,

Everyone thought about it for a while and actually felt that this was possible. Besides psychological issues, they really couldn't imagine how someone could treat their future so carelessly.

And so,

They observed for a few more days,

And discovered—

Han Lie was still the same.

Finally,

Someone couldn't help but tell the teacher. The teacher immediately said he would talk to Han Lie, but the result was—

Han Lie was still the same,

Without the slightest change.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

The classmates were completely disappointed in Han Lie, believing him to be nothing but a clown seeking attention. Even Xin Yao, who had previously praised Han Lie highly, now didn't even want to glance at him.

Only Bai He Wan tried to explain.

“No, Han Lie just… just loves snacks. He’s always been like this…”

Her explanation was weak and nobody listened at all.

Cui Dazhi was more direct, “You guys can say whatever you want, my brother has his reasons for doing this!!

And—

Who said these snacks aren’t good?

These snacks are great!!!”

...........

Han Lie didn't pay any attention to what others thought of him. He was currently troubled.

“Why isn’t this blood qi value moving?!”

Checking the panel.

Host: Han Lie

Blood Qi: 100

Trait: Congenital Medicine Saint Body 2.0

Other: Omitted

“This shouldn’t be!”

What state was Han Lie in now? He felt like the energy and blood qi in his body were about to overflow. He felt dizzy just walking, and he was even afraid that if he accidentally fell, blood would spurt out.

“I can’t take it anymore!”

“I have to go find Old Ge!!”

Han Lie had also sought out Old Ge once or twice in the past few days, but the latter had always used the excuse that the time wasn't ripe, claiming that Han Lie needed to nourish himself further.

Nourish what the hell?!

He was about to burst!
