35: Chapter 35 Full Insurance, Half-Carry!

This was a screen recording of two people on a video call.

But one of them encountered a Disaster Beast, and in their panic, dropped their phone, resulting in this footage.

Fang Xun looked at the black screen, then at Pei Ruanruan.

"So, is there anything urgent about this?" Fang Xun asked, puzzled.

"Isn't this urgent?" Pei Ruanruan pointed at the screen, which had started replaying, and said, "These Disaster Beast are starting to gain some understanding of human society!"

"And then?"

"This means they are also intelligent creatures. Or rather, at least some of these Disaster Beast are intelligent creatures."

"Hmm, some being smarter doesn't seem surprising," Fang Xun nodded, not seeing it as a major issue.

"But Disaster Beast grow stronger after eating people." Pei Ruanruan scrolled through the comments and said, "What if the intelligence of some Disaster Beast also increases after eating people?

Some small Disaster Beast, after eating people, even evolve their bodies towards a human form.

Many high-level Disaster Beast even possess characteristics of human-shaped bodies to begin with."

"Oh?"

"Right." Fang Xun suddenly remembered something and said, "Can Disaster Beast speak?"

Fang Xun suddenly remembered that, apart from the first Disaster Beast he encountered with Jiang Qin, no other Disaster Beast seemed to have spoken.

Nor had any other Disaster Beast displayed so many human structural features.

That Disaster Beast seemed special.

"No," Pei Ruanruan said matter-of-factly, "But that might change in the future. The Disaster Beast in the video has clearly evolved a curiosity about the human world."

"Eh?" Jiang Qin interjected, "No, I've encountered a Disaster Beast that could speak."

"Ah? No way?" Pei Ruanruan was shocked.

"I remember, it was the first day I got my Spiritual Energy Armor. That was also the day I met that Senior.

I remember that Disaster Beast said...

Humans, delicious.

It seemed to have eaten many people already, and its head was covered with arm-like appendages."

"So, they could actually interact with human society very early on?" Pei Ruanruan suddenly felt a chill.

If that were the case, would some Disaster Beast have evolved to be indistinguishable from humans, or even replaced some people and lived in human society?

"Stop thinking about all that nonsense."

Fang Xun looked at the video again and said, "It's just a video. Even if such things exist, beasts are beasts, humans are humans; they'll always show their true colors.

Is there anything else?"

"No," Pei Ruanruan shook her head immediately.

"Please!"

Fang Xun made a gesture, about to send Pei Ruanruan out.

After seeing Fang Xun's movement, Jiang Qin's foot slightly wiggled with a hint of smugness.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're sending me off as soon as I arrive? I just remembered something. Dongcheng University is about to start classes soon, don't forget the start date."

"When does school start?" Fang Xun hadn't really paid attention to this.

"Acquired." Jiang Qin nudged Fang Xun with her shoulder, a movement that made Fang Xun lean towards Pei Ruanruan.

Fang Xun lost his balance and almost rested his hand on Pei Ruanruan's black-stockinged thigh.

"Hehe, do you know what Jiang Qin is studying? I'm Jiang Qin's Senior, you know~"

"What else is there to study?" Fang Xun asked curiously, "Shouldn't you Psionic Armor Adepts go directly to the Superpower Academy?"

"That's the theory..." Pei Ruanruan spread her hands helplessly, "But with Dongcheng City's faculty resources, it's clearly impossible to establish a separate Superpower Academy.

So, there are only corresponding elective courses, not a separate discipline.

We students have a small privilege: we can choose any discipline to enter.

And then take superpower elective courses."

"Then what about you?" Fang Xun was quite curious what this Young Miss would choose.

"Animation Department, studying for the rise of national animation," Pei Ruanruan said, clenching her fist.

With Pei Ruanruan's exertion, even the flesh on her thighs jiggled. Fang Xun could feel the smooth texture of the stockings.

Jiang Qin stood by, tightly pursing her lips.

Brother likes these things.

Fang Xun put away those jumbled thoughts, turned his head, and looked at Jiang Qin, saying:

"Did you choose this one?"

"Yes..." Jiang Qin whispered.

She had always been a good child, hardly ever watching animation, movies, or comics.

But Fang Xun liked these, and had a large collection.

She somewhat wanted to know what her brother's brain, filled with 'yellow waste material,' was thinking about besides that 'yellow waste material.'

Perhaps, by studying this Animation Department, she could find the answer.

"No, can you guys even draw, to study this?" Fang Xun asked in shock.

"Oh, well, it's university, just get by~ It's not like we're actually going to do this for a living." Pei Ruanruan clearly didn't care.

"Okay... you're right..." Fang Xun nodded, then reached out again and said:

"Alright, you can go now! Remember to knock next time!"

"Hmph! I'm leaving, see you tomorrow. Senior will help you move your things to the dorm!"

Pei Ruanruan said, waving at Jiang Qin, then backed out and closed the door.

With a 'slap,' Pei Ruanruan disappeared into the darkness.

Only a faint scent of Pei Ruanruan's perfume lingered in the air.

"Bro, I'll go pack the things I need for tomorrow." Jiang Qin pulled her legs back from Fang Xun's, then pattered back to her room in her little slippers.

A moment later, only Fang Xun was left in the living room.

Fang Xun looked at the empty room and actually felt a bit empty himself.

He felt like something was missing from his hand.

After a while, Fang Xun realized and picked up his phone.

"I knew something was missing. I'll scroll through some short videos and learn about fashion."

...

...

Soon, it was the next day.

Fang Xun woke up early and heard the roar of an engine downstairs again.

Just by the sound, he knew it was Tang Xiaotang.

But for some reason, this roar was a little further away, and the sound wasn't quite right.

But besides Tang Xiaotang, who else would drive such a high-powered car?

Sure enough, a moment later, his front door opened, and Tang Xiaotang walked in familiar as ever.

She called out to Fang Xun.

"Brother, you're up so early, brother."

True to her name, just one word.

Sweet.

Calling him 'brother' this, 'brother' that, who could resist?

Who could dislike that?

Soon, Jiang Qin also came out of her room.

Jiang Qin, as usual, wasn't wearing makeup.

But the clothes she was wearing were completely different from her usual attire.

Fang Xun looked at the clothes, up and down several times, still not snapping out of his daze.

His little sister was truly beautiful.

After a while, Fang Xun remembered.

This was the 'Forest Girl' style outfit he had bought for Jiang Qin online after her college entrance exam.

But before this, Jiang Qin had never worn it.

Today, going to school, she had put on this outfit.

It was a very fresh green.

Fang Xun didn't know how to describe it, but the long dress looked very beautiful in his eyes.

"Wow."

While Fang Xun was in a daze, Tang Xiaotang also exclaimed, "Qin Qin, you look so good in this! I've never seen you wear it!"

"Hehe." Jiang Qin chuckled softly, secretly glancing at Fang Xun before saying, "I bought it a while ago, but I just wore it out today."

"It looks great!"

Tang Xiaotang gave a thumbs-up and said, "Super suitable! By the way, Qin Qin, are you packed? Don't worry, no matter how much stuff there is, I can haul it all!"

"Can you haul me this time?" Fang Xun asked with a hint of resentment.

Before, when Tang Xiaotang drove her aston martin Generation 2, only she and Jiang Qin could go zipping around.

He couldn't get in at all.

"Oh, brother, don't worry, I can definitely haul you this time!"

Tang Xiaotang confidently patted her firm chest, making a thumping sound.

She seemed very confident indeed.

"Actually, there's not much stuff. It's so close to home, we can just go check it out first. If anything's missing, we can just come back for it."

Jiang Qin really hadn't prepared much.

After all, her home was truly close.

Dongcheng City's urban area isn't that big; you can drive from one end of the city to the other in about an hour.

What's more, Jiang Qin's home wasn't far from Dongcheng University at all.

"Is that so?" Tang Xiaotang was actually a little disappointed.

"Then, brother, are you coming along? I'll haul you!" Tang Xiaotang looked at Fang Xun again.

"Let's go!"

Finally getting a chance to ride in the car of this sweet-mouthed little sister, Tang Xiaotang, how could Fang Xun refuse?

"Bro, let's go."

Jiang Qin tugged at Fang Xun's sleeve, and the group went downstairs together.

Once downstairs, Fang Xun looked around but didn't see Tang Xiaotang's car.

"Where's the car you said could haul everything?" Fang Xun asked, still looking around.

"Oh, it couldn't drive in, it's outside." Tang Xiaotang said, skipping and leading them outside.

As Fang Xun reached the entrance, he saw Old Man Wang looking out with a puzzled expression.

"How is it? Isn't it big?"

Tang Xiaotang said, running to the roadside and pointing proudly at her car.

"Huh?" Fang Xun looked at the car, utterly shocked.

"This is the car you're using to haul bedding?"

"Yeah, isn't it useful?"

Tang Xiaotang had already pulled Jiang Qin into the car again.

Fang Xun's mouth twitched as he looked at the car.

Tang Xiaotang was right; this time, she really could haul him.

A Semi-trailer could indeed seat three people.
