Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day.

In the morning.

The sun was shining brightly, and the weather was clear with no indication of rain.

Chen Yilang arrived at Beijiang City’s train station according to the agreed time.

The person who arrived at the same time as him was Chen Jiahui.

The familiar [ Level 5 Ultimate Learning God ] title was still floating above her head.

The next person who arrived was the [ Level 3 Drama Queen ] Lin Jie.

The three of them chatted as they waited, and even after more than ten minutes had come and gone, no new people had arrived.

“What’s wrong with her?”

Chen Yilang looked at the time on his phone and asked.

The time for their departure was getting closer and closer. If they delayed any longer, it was very likely that they would not be able to make it in time.

“I don’t know either. Let me ask her to hurry up.” Chen Jiahui took out her phone and made a call.

However, there was still no sign of any newcomers.

“Sigh, women are so troublesome.” Chen Yilang heard Lin Jie mumbling softly at the side.

However, it happened to be at a volume in which Chen Jiahui could not hear.

After another 10 minutes or so, the three of them finally spotted a figure that was running late.

It was a girl that Chen Yilang had never seen before, but she looked a little familiar.

This girl had a pair of ponytails, wore a white cotton skirt and lace socks, and wore a pair of black leather shoes.

She was dressed in a rather Japanese-like manner, and her voice was sweet. She looked like the type of girl who would act cutesy.

Upon spotting the trio, the girl immediately apologized with a smile, “Ohayo! Sorry for coming late!”

“???

Bowing?

What does this have to do with bowing?

“Ohayo means good morning in Japanese.” Chen Jiahui explained with a smile, “Let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Jianglin Guo from the class next door.”

So it was a girl from the class next door.

Chen Yilang finally realized what was going on.

No wonder he thought this girl looked familiar. She was from the class next door, and thus, they had crossed paths a few times before.

However, Chen Yilang was an introvert. Moreover, ever since he started becoming obsessed with studying, he could not give two hoots about socializing, and as such, he no longer remembered her.

However, the [ Precious ] title hovering above Jiang Linguo’s head attracted Chen Yilang’s interest.

[ Precious: A type of monster that looks cute and flirtatious, but is actually quite difficult to deal with. Remark: Do not be mesmerized by their appearance! ]

Chen Yilang thought to himself, “You should’ve said that about Lin Jie instead…”

The moment the system finished speaking.

Before Chen Jiahui could continue introducing herself, Lin Jie suddenly blurted out.

“Hello, my name is Lin Jie, nice to meet you!”

“I heard about you when I was in my first year of high school, everyone said that your English is especially good!”

As Lin Jie’s classmate for three years, Chen Yilang understood the former pretty well.

Obviously, Jiang Linguo was the type of woman that Lin Jie liked.

Chen Yilang had seen Lin Jie’s QQ before, and all he saw on his page was a wall plastered with pictures of two-dimensional women.

Moreover, even if he ignored all he knew about Lin Jie, just by looking at Lin Jie’s gaze, Chen Yilang could immediately tell that he was interested in her. After all, his eyes were shining so brightly that they were no different from a searchlight.

The most ridiculous thing was that this guy clearly had a completely impatient expression on his face one second ago.

However, the moment Jiang Linguo appeared, he instantly smiled like a blooming flower.

“No, no, those are merely exaggerations.” Jiang Linguo waved her hand and said, “In truth, I only score around 140 marks usually. I think, throughout the past three years, I’ve only gotten full marks once or twice.”

???

Wtf?

Who is this monster?

[ [ Level 5 Precious ] activated [ Humblebrag ] , dealing damage to you! ]

[ HP-12 ]

…

This damage is rather low.

Chen Yilang thought to himself.

Such a small damage number was no different than an itch for him now.

However, he needed to be more cautious of her now.

After all, [ Precious ] was a level 5 mob. It was a monster on the same level as the [ Ultimate Learning God ]. She was definitely not that easy to deal with.

“Hey, isn’t there one more person?”

Chen Yilang suddenly thought of something and asked, “I remember that I saw five people in the group yesterday.”

“Oh, that’s also one of my good sisters.” Chen Jiahui said a little embarrassedly, “She suddenly had something to do this morning, so she’s not coming.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.” Chen jiahui nodded and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about her. She told us to have fun. She’ll definitely come next time.”

The corner of Chen Yilang’s mouth twitched slightly.

As expected of the [ Level 4 Pigeon King ] …

He felt that the monsters he was encountering were becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

“Then let’s set off.” Chen Jiahui said energetically, “Everyone, follow me.”

With that, everyone followed Chen Jiahui into the station.

Chen Yilang was dragging his suitcase at the front when he heard Jiang Linguo’s voice behind him:

“Aiya, aiya, wait for me!”

Jiang Linguo pulled her suitcase and shouted, “All of your legs are too long. I can’t keep up with your pace!”

“Do you need help?” Chen Yilang subconsciously turned his head and asked.

“Yes, yes. My luggage is so heavy, could you give me a hand?!” Jiang Linguo said softly.

Chen Yilang finally caught a glimpse of the 16-inch suitcase in Jiang Linguo’s hand.

It’s this small, and yet, she’s struggling to move it?

Chen Yilang suddenly had doubts about the girl’s strength.

The 16-inch suitcase was already the smallest possible luggage size. It could not possibly be holding much.

Moreover, the thing had wheels.

“Okay.”

Chen Yilang did not say anything and grabbed the handle from Jiang Linguo’s hand.

Huh?

Chen Yilang felt as if the box was filled with air. He almost hurled the luggage aside as he yanked on it.

“?”

Damn it, this is clearly as light as a foam board!

“What are you storing in it? “Chen Yilang could not help but ask curiously.

“Of course it’s cosmetics!” Jiang Lingguo answered, “When girls go out to play, they have to dress up beautifully.”

“Then, aren’t your clothes in it?”

“No,” Jiang Lingguo answered.

No wonder it was so light.

“Then, where are your clothes?”

Chen Yilang looked at Jiang Lingguo and found that she was not carrying any other luggage aside from the 16 inch one.

“No, that’s too troublesome,” Jiang Lingguo said.

“?”

Chen Yilang was dumbfounded by those words.

“Huh, did I hear wrongly?” Chen Yilang asked again with uncertainty, “We’re going on a three-day trip. Did you only bring one set of clothes?”

“That’s right!”

“It’s so troublesome to pack clothes. I don’t want to go through all that trouble.”

Jiang Linguo said confidently, “Since we’re going shopping anyway, why don’t we just go to the mall and buy a few new sets of clothes?”

“????”

1. The words used to form the term “hayo” means to bow to someone.
2. I’m not sure what scale they’re using, I’m merely going with the flow..
