171: Use information card

Du Xixi sat in the restaurant, feeling a bit embarrassed. If she had known Shen Qian was taking her to a high-end restaurant for dinner, she would have dressed more formally.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Qian noticed Du Xixi's unusual behavior.

"No, A-Qian, you should have told me earlier that we were coming to a place like this to eat. I would have dressed more..."

"There's no need. It's just a meal, so just come as you feel comfortable. Look at me—I'm only wearing this outfit, aren't I?"

Shen Qian's approachability always made Du Xixi feel very comfortable. It seemed that by his side, she could be herself without any restraint.

During the meal, the two chatted about many things, all sorts of amusing stories. Shen Qian listened actively and responded enthusiastically.

"Our first year class must have given you a lot of headaches, right? After all, we have all kinds of questions to ask you."

"Indeed, quite a few. And the first year freshmen aren't really here for the questions—they're clearly here for the people. But they don't know that we used the same tricks back in our first year."

Mentioning first year, Du Xixi immediately thought of something.

"A-Qian, you still haven't told me—how did you and that girl end up handling things that day?"

"Did you have to pay compensation? If you did, tell me, and I'll cover the cost."

"No, she just made a condition."

"A condition!?"

"Yeah, the girl asked me to accompany her to an amusement park. Sigh, she's just a playful little girl, after all. I thought, since it wasn't an unreasonable request, I might as well agree."

Hearing this, Du Xixi's heart immediately sank. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. After all, she was the one who got into the fight, she was the one who caused trouble, and now Shen Qian had stepped in to resolve it for her. What else could she say?

"She did it on purpose!"

After a long while, she finally managed to say this resentfully.

"I know she did it on purpose, but there's no other way. You got into a fight, Xie Wan hit someone—that's a fact. Besides, she has some fans online, and I couldn't just use my school connections to suppress her."

"You're only in your second year—I couldn't let this affect you."

After hearing this, Du Xixi was deeply moved. She understood that if it were just Shen Qian alone, handling such a matter would have been easy. But because he wanted to protect them, he agreed to that woman's demand.

"Shen Qian, tonight, let's not go back, okay?"

"We can, but I don't want you to do it because you feel indebted to me for what I did."

"I'd prefer it if this were something enjoyable for both of us."

"I understand what you mean. Believe me, I'm not doing this out of gratitude or anything. I really like you."

Shen Qian didn't say much more. After finishing the meal, he took Du Xixi to a hotel.

A night of pleasure, needless to say.

Shen Qian stretched his body slightly, feeling as though he had been a bit too unrestrained. In just a few months, his combat experience had reached a certain level. Although it was just the same few girls coming and going, the sheer number was overwhelming.

Moreover, among these few, there were Bai Xiu and Song Shulu—two top-tier juice extractors. Even with an enhanced kidney, there was still some risk of not being able to keep up.

"What if I get another enhancement card and enhance it again?"

"No, enhancements are good, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"I need to think of a way to get stronger the more I do it."

Shen Qian first checked his current reserves. Among the golden cards, he still had two connection cards, one copy card, and three information cards.

Of these three, he had never used the information card even once.

Previously, he had guessed that the information card was related to business information. But after using the connection card, he realized that wasn't the case. Since the connection card had several categories and the enhancement card had so many points to enhance, the information card should be even more comprehensive.

[Use information card?]

"Yes."

[Enter the specific information you need to know]

After Shen Qian entered his request, a new dialog box immediately appeared before him.

[Based on your input, the following information has been retrieved]

[Tuna Method: While exercising, performing tuna can reduce fatigue while enhancing one's strength, increasing endurance, and improving athletic ability.]

[Medicinal Method: Using different drugs to restore the body while undergoing secondary enhancement.]

[Exercise Method: Using specific movements to help strengthen various aspects of the body.]

At the end of each of these three pieces of information, an address was left.

"System, what are these three addresses for?"

[Source locations of the retrieved information]

"So, does that mean as long as I go to these places, I can find the so-called Tuna Method, Medicinal Method, and Exercise Method?"

[Detected that the information originates from these three addresses]

The System didn't explicitly say it, but Shen Qian understood—the System meant that the addresses were given, but whether he could obtain the methods depended on his own efforts.

Among these three addresses, the Tuna Method and Medicinal Method were in Shanghai, while the Exercise Method was in Pengcheng. This suited Shen Qian perfectly. Now that he knew where they were, he decided to set off immediately.

On the way, he called Liu Qingyun to ask for leave.

"Are you a student or a businessman? You're the busiest one every single day."

Liu Qingyun complained.

"I'm just asking for leave this once, Counselor. You know me—I've hardly skipped any classes, so I've already saved you a lot of trouble."

"Yeah, you haven't skipped many classes, but the number of times you've stayed out overnight is way too high!"

"Now, the total number of overnight stays for the entire College doesn't even add up to as many as yours alone."

"Some people in the College have already started using you as a role model."

"Was it that guy Sun Haoyu who reported me?"

Shen Qian thought he had handled his interpersonal relationships quite well. Aside from Sun Haoyu, who in the College would be foolish enough to target him?

"Don't worry, I've temporarily suppressed it on his end for now. But you need to be careful too. If he foolishly reports it to the Dean, then I..."

"It's fine, Counselor. But still, thank you. How's Shu Xin been lately?"

"She's doing well. Recently, she goes home right after school, and she's very enthusiastic about studying. Do you still chat with her every day?"

"Pretty much, every day. If there are any more issues with that punk, I'll handle it."

"I still want to thank you, but I'm also very curious—have you and my sister..."

"Don't worry, the girls I spend time with are all clean, and I'm very careful in my daily life. Even if I did something with your sister, she wouldn't be at risk."

"You brat, is that what I was asking?"

"If I said it's a secret, then it's a secret. Besides, isn't this fine? Just assume we've done everything we should have. That way, someday in the future, when your brother-in-law shows up, you'll be more accepting, won't you?"

Shen Qian chatted with Liu Qingyun for a while longer before hanging up with a laugh. Meanwhile, his car had stopped at the entrance of a residential complex.
