Then, he opened the private message friend list, where there was only one friend named 'Ephemeral Life 93'. He opened the private chat window and edited the text:
"Suspected Superpower User discovered in Lening City, Wanghai Country. Instant Teleportation ability, pending confirmation."
After editing, he found another inconspicuous icon in the lower right corner, clicked it six times in succession, and the private message content changed immediately.
Only then did he click send.
...
Lening Third High School.
As the school bell rang, a dense crowd of figures walked out of the classrooms, soon spreading to every corner of the campus.
Su Xin was woken up from his sleep.
He had gone to bed too late last night, and with plans to continue his actions tonight, he needed to rest well, so he slept through two consecutive classes.
He once again declined his friend's invitation to play basketball, packed up his books, stood up, and walked out of the classroom, intending to eat at a restaurant near the school.
In this lifetime, he was never short of money, and he never hesitated to spend on food. Coupled with the significant daily consumption from physical exercise and being in a growth phase, nearly every meal was very sumptuous. He had almost tried all the restaurants around the school.
The snack street by the school, the restaurants across the street, the food court a kilometer away, and the big hotels in the commercial district on the other side of the school — Su Xin's choices rarely repeated.
Upon leaving the school gate, he walked through an old cement path between residential homes, silently pondering his actions for the night.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed, gazing at a few figures wearing school uniforms ahead.
A few dozen meters ahead, five girls were surrounding a girl with a ponytail. They occasionally pushed her and spewed all kinds of obscene words, with one trying to grab the ponytail girl's clothes.
The ponytail girl just kept her hands in her coat pockets, her head slightly bowed, remaining silent.
Just when Su Xin was about to intervene, he saw the ponytail girl suddenly pull her hands out of her pockets, delivering a fierce punch to a chubby girl attempting to grab her clothes.
From Su Xin's angle, he couldn't see where the ponytail girl had exactly struck, nor whether she was holding any weapon.
But he clearly saw that after being punched by the ponytail girl, the chubby girl first froze, then looked at her chest, clutching her bosom while screaming and retreating.
Meanwhile, before she had screamed, the ponytail girl had already lunged at another girl to her left, grabbing the other's wrist and stabbing wildly with her right hand.
The latter screamed frantically and struggled wildly.
The other three girls seemed stunned by the ponytail girl's fierce counterattack, hesitating before two of them rushed forward, with one pulling at the ponytail girl's hand and the other kicking her.
The last girl, seeing this scene, fearfully stepped back two steps.
"Stop!"
Su Xin shouted, striding forward.
The girls completely ignored Su Xin's words, and the ponytail girl had already turned and was wrestling with another girl, with an extremely fierce expression and actions.
At this point, Su Xin clearly saw the ponytail girl wearing a special ring on her right hand, resembling a Finger Tiger due to its sharp protrusion.
No wonder, despite her physical condition seemingly matching the other five girls, she was able to injure two, scare one away, and fiercely fight the remaining two within a short time.
As Su Xin hurriedly ran over.
The ponytail girl, her right arm grabbed by one of them, unable to use the Finger Tiger, violently headbutted the girl in front of her, causing both to bleed considerably.
The opponent cried out, while the ponytail girl, unhesitatingly, turned around to scratch another one's face, then punched her shoulder while the other was screaming.
By the time Su Xin reached them, the 1V5 confrontation was nearly over.
"Um... Are you okay, classmate?"
Su Xin hesitated for a moment before asking.
The ponytail girl turned to look at Su Xin, seemingly stunned when she saw him, then calmly said:
"I'm fine."
With that, she looked at the five girls again, her expression cold but her tone full of icy warning:
"I don't want to provoke you, but if you come after me again, then we die together."
Wiping the blood near her eyes, the ponytail girl left a last sentence and turned away.
Su Xin glanced at the five girls, considering but ultimately saying nothing, and walked off, following the ponytail girl.
Although he didn't know the details of the fight, from the scene he witnessed and the ponytail girl's words, he could somewhat deduce the situation, understanding that the five likely initiated the trouble, thus deserved what they got.
From his recent observation, the sharp protrusion on the ponytail girl's Finger Tiger was about half a centimeter long. As long as it didn't strike vulnerable areas, it wasn't enough to cause fatal injury.
The injured girls all appeared to be bleeding, but their wounds were on arms or shoulders, just superficial injuries.
Evidently, despite seeming aggressive and wild, the ponytail girl deliberately avoided critical areas.
As Su Xin was mulling over this, the two unknowingly walked over a hundred meters, and the ponytail girl suddenly halted, turning to quietly look at Su Xin.
"What's up?"
Su Xin asked suspiciously.
"You're following me?"
"I'm heading this way."
"Okay, then you go ahead."
The ponytail girl wiped another smear of blood from her forehead and moved to the roadside.
Su Xin walked past, looking at her:
"Your head's still bleeding, aren't you going to the infirmary? It's over there."
"No need, I'll patch it myself when I get back."
The girl replied, her face indifferent as if oblivious to her forehead and body wounds.
Su Xin took out a pack of tissues and handed it over.
"Well, at least wipe it off first. Less hassle with washing clothes stained with blood."
"Thanks.".
The ponytail girl reached out to take it.
Even as she said thanks, she remained cold-faced, but this time, Su Xin heard a system notification sound in his head:
"Ding! Acquired 5 Karma Points."
Su Xin glanced at her in surprise.
"Just a pack of tissues and earns 5 Karma Points? Such high returns?"
Facing his surprised gaze, the girl asked indifferently, "Anything else?"
"Not much, but your head's bleeding nonstop, it's better to patch it quickly. I don't have much going on, let me take you to the infirmary, medication will heal it quickly, also avoiding any facial scars."
The girl stayed silent briefly, seemingly contemplating, but eventually nodded and said:
"Alright."
The two walked together.
The ponytail girl took out a tissue, occasionally wiping the blood from her forehead, but the bleeding still hadn't stopped, clearly showing that the headbutt was indeed solid.
