Chapter 121 Am I Toxic?

It was early morning.

"Ugh." Xia Yan yawned as she walked out of Han Jiangxue's room. Seeing that the living room was empty, she followed the sounds to the kitchen. Through the frosted glass on the door, she saw a busy figure inside.

Xia Yan quietly approached the door, her face almost pressed against the frosted glass, but she couldn't see the person's true appearance, only imagining based on the blurry outline.

*Click.*

The kitchen door suddenly opened, and Han Jiangxue was standing there wearing an apron and holding a spatula. Behind her on the stove, the pot was bubbling.

"Hehe, hehe." Xia Yan rubbed her head, grinning foolishly. "Did I kick the blanket off last night? Did I kick you? I seem to be a bit restless when I sleep..."

Han Jiangxue looked down at the eavesdropping Xia Yan and said in annoyance, "Go wash up and then call Xiao Pi."

"Oh, what are you cooking? It smells so good!" Xia Yan offered praise at the right time. As a woman herself, she knew what the other party needed.

Women in this world only need three things: oxygen, food, and praise.

Well...

When necessary,

The first two can also be dispensed with.

"Hurry up." Han Jiangxue said with a slightly angry look, pressing on Xia Yan's forehead and pushing her out, then closing the kitchen door.

"Hmm..." Xia Yan looked around and finally came to Jiang Xiao's door. With a "Bang!" she opened the door and shouted, "Jiang Xiaopi! Your sister's calling you... Eh? You're awake?"

Xia Yan had originally wanted to wake up the sleeping Jiang Xiao, but when she opened the door, she found him sitting in front of the computer, seemingly lost in thought.

"Your sister's calling you for breakfast." Xia Yan curiously peered inside, her eyes fixed on the computer screen, and asked, "What are you staring at on the computer desktop?"

Jiang Xiao: "......"

"Hurry up." Xia Yan urged, closing the door and leaving.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, really, his train of thought was completely disrupted.

A few minutes later, just as Jiang Xiao was pondering, *Click!*

The door was suddenly pushed open again by Xia Yan.

"What is it now?" Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at Xia Yan, his face full of dissatisfaction. "Don't you know how to knock?"

Xia Yan looked at the computer screen, then walked straight over, put a hand on Jiang Xiao's head, and vigorously rubbed his well-textured buzz cut, saying, "Why are you always staring at the computer desktop every time I come in?"

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Xia Yan suddenly bent down, her cherry lips close to Jiang Xiao's ear, gently biting his earlobe, her voice carrying a hint of charm, a hint of seduction: "Xiao Pi, it's time to eat. If you don't get up, I'm going to call your sister."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Two devil horns seemed to grow on Xia Yan's head, a devilish smile on her face as she turned and walked out, deliberately not closing the door tightly.

What the heck,

Are you toxic!?

Jiang Xiao stared blankly at Xia Yan's back. What's wrong with me looking at the computer desktop?

It's because I just finished checking the information and closed the webpage.

Jiang Xiao had just been researching the "Swift Lightning" and "Chain Lightning" star techniques inside the Xingzhu of Gao's mother Wu Di.

Thanks to the Star Map within providing the exact same names as those used publicly, this saved Jiang Xiao a lot of trouble.

No wonder Jiang Xiao was unfamiliar with these two star techniques.

These two star techniques actually came from dimensional spaces in Hai Su Province, Zhe Dong Province, and Shang Hu City, from a dimensional creature Xingzhu called "Swift Lightning Soul."

This kind of star technique would certainly not be a basic skill, and it would be especially difficult to buy in the commercial bank.

Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly. No wonder the rankings of these provinces and cities in the National High School League over the years were always among the best.

These big provinces and cities were already rich, with high-quality education, strong teaching staff, and such explosive star techniques...

These high school students were all in advantageous positions; the magic-type users had all become Thunder Lords. Who could withstand that?

Look at their Swift Lightning. It was considered the top silver-grade star technique, wasn't it? Instant cast, and the output damage was so explosive.

And look at what silver-grade star techniques Bei Jiang Province had?

Flame Arc, Flame Split, Scorching Flame, Explosive Flame, Severe Injury... Rampage?

But to be fair, the silver-grade healing star techniques "Clock Bell" and "Bearing Seal" in Bei Jiang Province, even nationwide, could be counted among the best healing star techniques in the silver grade.

At this time, Jiang Xiao was wondering if he should ask the Xia family to pull some strings and get some "Swift Lightning Soul" star beads.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue still had some money in their hands, and they also had a lot of inventory.

When they were in the armory for the preliminary competition, the four-person team seized yellow weapons and badges, and killed many savages and ape ghosts.

The star beads of the few ape ghost kings were absorbed by Xia Yan, but no one absorbed the star beads of the ape ghosts. After coming out of the armory, these star beads were all sold.

36 savage (male knife, male gun, female bow) star beads, 23 ape ghost star beads, sold for a total of 80,000 yuan. The commercial bank directly rounded it up and gave 80,000 oceans.

But Xia Yan didn't get a share of this 80,000 oceans, because she absorbed those two gold-grade ape ghost king star beads. So the Han siblings and Li Weiyi each got 26,600 oceans. Everyone didn't care too much about the remaining change; it didn't matter if it was a little more or a little less.

This was regarding the aspect of financial income.

And in terms of "inventory," Han Jiangxue also had a few good star beads at this time.

First of all, when they first entered the armory, Han Jiangxue used Space Shatter to store the person from the bald man's team who tried to pull Jiang Xiao's team to be their shields.

That person was a nebula mid- to late-stage melee Awakener. According to Han Jiangxue's intention, when Jiang Xiao broke through the star power realm, he could use this star bead.

At the same time,

The siblings also had a Fallen Shadow Witch star bead.

The competition rewarded the siblings with three Fallen Shadow Witch star beads in total. Jiang Xiao absorbed two, and with the help of skill points, upgraded "Grievance," "Reverse Flow of Light," and "Voice of Silence" to gold quality. (Voice of Silence was already gold quality)

After that, Jiang Xiao didn't absorb the remaining Fallen Shadow Witch star bead.

He certainly hoped that Han Jiangxue could also absorb star techniques like Voice of Silence, but according to Han Jiangxue's intention, she seemed to want to wait until the Star River stage to try her luck.

Han Jiangxue also had a "Blue Crown Star Bead" in her hand. This was a star bead given by Xia's father after the siblings brought Xia Yan out last time. It contained deep blue and light blue scepters, all gold-grade star techniques.

With the valuable Fallen Shadow Witch star bead, Han Jiangxue seemed to be more open to the Blue Crown Star Bead. According to her intention, she would improve her realm as soon as possible. Whether she reached the Star River stage during the second wasteland reclamation competition or not, she would absorb this star bead in order to improve her output ability and help the team increase their attack power.

Second wasteland reclamation, as the name suggests, is reclaiming the wasteland again along the footsteps of the predecessors.

Bei Jiang Province will prepare a newly opened dimensional space with a moderate level of danger for the students, allowing them to explore this dimensional space within a specified time.

The more you master and the more comprehensive a series of information such as the dimensional space map, topography, monster types, population distribution, and so on, the higher the score you get.

This competition has detailed scoring items, which will be discussed later.

According to Han Jiangxue's intention, in the wasteland reclamation competition, in most cases, their team would face monster populations, so she needed a more explosive output star technique.

Therefore, Jiang Xiao had taken a fancy to the "Swift Lightning Soul" star bead.

Jiang Xiao was not satisfied with the "Light Blue Scepter" in the Blue Crown Star Bead. It was a defensive star technique, not suitable for breakthroughs. Although it was a powerful gold-quality star technique, Jiang Xiao was really afraid that Han Jiangxue would absorb this star technique.

In contrast, the two star techniques of Swift Lightning Soul were perfect star techniques for charging into battle, and Swift Lightning was still silver-grade. Han Jiangxue, who was currently in the Nebula stage, had a much greater chance of successful absorption.

Back to the topic,

The two also had the star beads of Gao Junwei and Gao's mother Wu Di, one was late Nebula stage, and the other was peak Star River stage.

If this vicious mother and son could help Han Jiangxue improve her star power realm and help her break through the peak of the Nebula stage, it would be considered that they died deservedly.

Just as Jiang Xiao was secretly pondering...

Xia Yan tiptoed to Jiang Xiao's door and suddenly kicked open the half-closed door: "Jiang Xiaopi, are you going to eat or not? Your sister is angry!"

Damn it!

The sneak attack failed again.

What was presented in front of Xia Yan was still Jiang Xiao staring blankly at the computer desktop.

In Xia Yan's eyes, that daze was definitely not real, but pretended.

Xia Yan curled her lips, muttering, "Little devil, switching screens is pretty fast."

Jiang Xiao: ???
