Chapter 19: 【space Collector】
“Anything else?” Bai Fengxi came down from upstairs and bumped into Su Chen who had turned back, looking quite puzzled.
“Lend me some money…” Su Chen was somewhat embarrassed.
Bai Fengxi frowned slightly and couldn’t help saying, “You’re so amazing, didn’t Jiang He give you money?”
Your “amazing” is ambiguous, Su Chen said simply and straightforwardly, “Not enough.”
“Uh, I don’t have much on me either.” Bai Fengxi felt the stinging pain in her shoulder, but her trust in Su Chen had increased quite a bit.
She rubbed out a small light blue cloth pouch, “I only carry twenty or thirty with me…”
“Give it all to me.” Su Chen reached out his hand.
Bai Fengxi looked up at him; previously when interacting with Su Chen, this guy wasn’t so shameless?
“I’ll pay you back.” Su Chen took it casually and turned to leave.
“Plus what the victim gave me last time, I can scrape together seventy or eighty…” Su Chen lowered his head to contact Wei Zhigao and sent a message.
“I want to purchase Blood Activating Potion”
Wei Zhigao quickly replied—”500 gold”
“I only have 70…”
“…500 is already the discounted price”
Su Chen thought of a compromise, “How about this: skip my nutrient solution this week and next, and give me another discount?”
Normally, the proficiency increase speed of Molten Stone Training Method is not fast; to quickly make up the promotion conditions, he could only use external aids.
After a long time, Wei Zhigao finally replied, “……Just this once, I’ll have someone deliver it to you.”
“Old Wei still has the demeanor of a true teacher.” Su Chen sighed.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, the person sent by Wei Zhigao hurriedly arrived; it was a member of the school affairs department, who said little and handled it officially, exchanging money and goods on the spot.
The other party counted the gold coins and left with a speechless expression.
Su Chen drank the Blood Activating Potion in one gulp and only felt his body swelling; he began to train himself harshly.
【Molten Stone Training Method】’s progress slowly advanced; under the stimulation of the Blood Activating Potion and the support of 【Scholar】, it increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Early the next morning
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Su Chen’s eyes suddenly opened; a note was stuffed under the door.
Opening the door, he only saw a fleeting back at the stairwell corner.
“A note?” Su Chen looked down at it, closed the door, wrapped his hand with Shadow-Evading Clothes, held his breath, and carefully opened it; there was a line of small characters on it–
“If you don’t want Bai Fengxi’s secret leaked, come find me behind Bright Light Building.”
??
Su Chen was stunned; Bai Fengxi’s secret—threatening her threatens me why?
“Little Brother Zhou, it must be you.” Su Chen burned the note and continued training.
Since the threats have already started, he’s definitely anxious; I’m not in a hurry anyway.
Besides, Old Bai doesn’t seem to care much about this matter.
As a result, two hours later, someone knocked again, still with a note; this time the wording changed–
“We can talk; you’ve come this far with difficulty, not worth throwing yourself in for others.”
“Sick…” Su Chen couldn’t be bothered to pay attention.
Until mid-afternoon, Su Chen’s body trembled slightly, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, crimson skin surface gradually spreading with strands of molten gold patterns; sweat evaporated into white mist, and the temperature in the entire room was rising.
【Molten Stone Training Method—Proficiency: 1%】
“Whew, finally done…” Su Chen let out a long breath; the proficiency increase brought obvious changes, training intensity suddenly increased, also representing improved profession development efficiency.
【Void Ripper Warrior: 28%】
Su Chen clenched his fist, in a great mood.
Promotion conditions were now met; the second ability of 【Void Ripper Warrior】 also emerged.
【Wind Walker（ Passive）: Move with the wind, higher wind speed means higher movement speed】
“Move with the wind?” Su Chen mulled over these words, walked to the window, opened it; the moment the breeze brushed his body, that near-flying sensation grew stronger.
“Really want to dash out…” Su Chen stared outside, legs itching to go.
………
Artificial light sources gradually turned earthy yellow and dimmed; due to recent special circumstances, few students wandered the academy after 6 PM.
In the Small Grove behind Bright Light Building.
“Brother Zhou, that kid isn’t coming out at all; we’ve already delivered three notes.” Several guys in front of Zhou Zong smiled bitterly, “He must know there’s no good outcome coming here.”
Zhou Zong’s expression shifted, coldly saying, “That idiot Bai Fengxi; Su Chen doesn’t care about her at all.”
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help touching the item in his pocket; it was something he had gone to great lengths to obtain, originally meant to get closer to Bai Fengxi, but this morning he got told to “get lost” twice.
“That kid really has his ways: first hooked up with Jiang He to enter South Wind Academy, now hooked up with Bai Fengxi.” Several young men sighed repeatedly, “Handsome, and indeed…”
Before finishing, they felt Zhou Zong’s predatory gaze and shut their mouths.
“Maybe our words were too subtle.” Someone changed the topic, “Brother Zhou, want to add some spice?”
Zhou Zong frowned and waved coldly, “You guys go.”
They exchanged glances and left one by one; he was too lazy to say more to them.
“Refugee—this identity is a big future risk; as long as I grasp it, Bai Fengxi will have a weakness from now on.” Zhou Zong murmured lowly with sharp eyes; his father was also one of the academy vice principals and knew Bai Fengxi’s identity seemed unusual.
His expression gradually turned ruthless, “Su Chen, I just don’t believe…”
Before finishing, familiar intense pain came from the back of his head; his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
“Who?” A pair of eyes in the distance instantly narrowed, staring tightly at the target lying on the ground.
This was his carefully selected target of decent status; he had already hidden the item on him and planned to slip away today.
But by mid-afternoon, this guy had sneaked to this remote area; several Inspector Guards had come to inquire but were driven away by him.
He didn’t know what the other wanted; to avoid accidents, he could only follow from afar.
In the end, he saw someone club this guy on the head; in the shadows, a vague outline gradually emerged.
“Injuries this severe? Didn’t even notice when the other approached.” His face looked bad as he touched his chest, faintly stinging.
“Little brother…” Su Chen arrived stepping on the wind, staring at Zhou Zong on the ground, “Don’t disappoint me.”
He originally hadn’t planned to come, but thinking of the gains from the last looting, with a mindset of giving it a shot, he came here.
【Void Ripper Warrior】 was indeed top tier; his speed surged two or three times, paired with 【Shadow-Evading Clothes】, making him come and go without a trace.
But Su Chen moved quickly, looting familiarly.
“Hm?” He was quite surprised, looking at four potion vials in his hand: two red, two blue.
The red ones he knew well—crimson like blood, Blood Activating Potions.
“Spirit Enhancing Potion, how did he get this?” Su Chen recalled; it promoted mental activity, even more expensive than Blood Activating Potion—at discounted price, still 700 gold per bottle.
“Pocket it first…” Su Chen stuffed the items into his pocket.
He then familiarly stripped off the clothes; while bundling, he suddenly felt something off.
“Why does this clothing…” Su Chen rubbed the clothes in his hand; when folding just now, he clearly felt something wrong in places.
He quickly found the target: in the clothing interlayer on the right abdomen, there seemed to be something.
“Hidden so deep, must be something good.” Su Chen got interested and carefully pried it open; inside was a palm-sized, thin as a cicada’s wing… metal piece?
It felt very smooth and warm; intricate symbols engraved on it kept jumping and changing; Su Chen glanced once and felt dizzy.
But the panel reacted—
