Learn one small skill every day

Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Rugby

Why are there so many ball sports?

The next morning, Bai Miao, having acquired a new skill, tactfully went to the kitchen to help prepare breakfast before White's mother urged him to.

Bai Miao had almost figured out the circumstances under which White's mother would swear.

Simply put, it means that someone might swear at anyone under any circumstances.

All Bai Miao could do was minimize the opportunities and frequency of her swearing.

After finishing the meal, before White's mother had her attack, Bai Miao took the initiative to clear away the dishes and wash them.

This left White's mother speechless, her mouth agape for a long while before she finally closed it again.

"I'm going to buy groceries."

White's mother felt she should say something, but Bai Miao spoke first, "Then I'll come with you and help you carry your things."

Want to insult me?

Bai Miao felt that his argument was flawless.

"Look at the mess your hair is in! Go and get it properly cut! It's a complete bird's nest!"

Bai Miao's face immediately fell.

However, he obediently accepted the money and went to get a haircut.

The barbershop is on the east side of town, which is closest to where the murderer committed the last crime, and barbers, being in that profession, usually have a lot of information to ask.

Upon arriving at the barbershop, Bai Miao sat in front of the mirror, looking at his distorted face, and said to the barber, "Buzz cut!"

The barber had four arms, each holding a different barber's tool, which he used to gesture behind Bai Miao's head.

"You're White from the Scarlett family, right?"

When Bai Miao saw that the barber had taken the initiative to talk to him, he didn't avoid the conversation and simply said, "It's me."

"Interested in joining our membership activities? Sign up now to enjoy a 10% discount."

"I do not need it, thank you."

"Could you go back and tell your mother about our beauty and hair services? Many ladies in Hardman regularly come here to enjoy our premium services. I think Ms. Scarlett must not know that we offer such services, otherwise why would she never come?"

"I will try my best."

Bai Miao, not wanting to hear the barber's spiel, changed the subject, saying, "You live around here, have you heard anything about the serial killer?"

"Is there anyone in the town of Hardman who doesn't know about the killer? But I'm not under 20, so I'm not the killer's target."

The barber didn't care about the murderer at all, since it wouldn't affect his business.

His main customers are older women.

"Mr. White, you're one of the killer's target groups. You might really need to be careful. Have you heard? The killer managed to sneak into a house through a very narrow ventilation duct and quietly slit the throats of that family's children! Hehe!"

As the barber spoke, he gestured with his scissors across Bai Miao's neck, letting out a strange laugh.

"Sir, your movements are so practiced, could you be the murderer?"

Bai Miao's words drew the attention of other customers in the barbershop, and the barber said somewhat anxiously, "That's slander!"

"Then why would you joke about something like this? Do you think the killing of a child is just a trivial matter? I can't believe you just now imitated a murderer making gestures at my neck! You've caused me serious mental damage!"

Bai Miao's words resonated with some people around him, many of whom lived nearby. Those with children joined Bai Miao in criticizing the barber.

Faced with public outrage, the barber knew he had done something wrong and apologized repeatedly.

But what puzzled him was why White, who was supposed to be dull and always bullied at school, was such a sharp-tongued guy.

damn it.

"I want compensation, otherwise I have the right to sue you."

Bai Miao did not give up easily.

"Damn it, I've already apologized, what more do you want?"

"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of laws? That service package you mentioned earlier was pretty good, give me a free membership card."

The barber was furious; he had actually been extorted by a little kid!

But Bai Miao looked serious; if he didn't give it to him, Bai Miao might actually sue him.

This would have a greater impact on one's reputation!

"I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you."

Although reluctant, the barber still gave Bai Miao a membership card with ten free trials and waived his bill.

"Welcome... to visit again..."

Chapter 53 I'm Going to Host a Party

Holding a gleaming gold card, Bai Miao didn't immediately return home. Instead, he went to the school in the west and waited for school to end.

After school, a group of students filed out of the school.

Bai Miao discovered something very exciting.

The proportion of distorted students today is more than half less than yesterday.

All four, including Andy, have returned to normal.

Bai Miao made that tweet yesterday intentionally, wanting to change the image of White as a loser among the school's student body.

The people who liked the post weren't all from the school, but through their words, Bai Miao was confident that the sensational story of Andy and his three friends, along with a group of thugs, being taught a lesson would become the talk of the town among the students.

After hearing about White's feat of single-handedly defeating a group of people and forcing them to eat their vomit, their impression of White instantly changed completely.

Of course, some people raised questions, and at that time, Bai Miao's tweets would serve as irrefutable evidence.

It's highly unlikely that Andy filmed himself eating vomit, posted it on social media, and credited White.

That's so uncool.

On the contrary, it was incredibly cool that White single-handedly taught so many thugs a lesson.

The students who noticed Bai Miao under the sycamore tree glanced at him from afar and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Andy and his friends slunk away.

They didn't even consider getting their phones back.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Bai Miao returned home.

White's mother was already preparing dinner when she heard Bai Miao return. She muttered, "Why does it take so long to get a haircut?"

"I have a gift for you."

Bai Miao walked into the kitchen and took out the membership card that the hairdresser had given him.

"My God! Could this be...? Why did you waste money on this?! You're such a spendthrift! I gave you money not to buy random membership cards!"

When White's mother saw the card, she instinctively began to criticize him, but then she suddenly realized that White shouldn't have so much money.

"Where did you find this? Damn it, you have to return it to the owner! The card should have the membership card holder's name engraved on the back."

White's mother snatched the card and turned it over to look at the back.

She was stunned.

“Selena Scarlett… How could that be my name? Where did you get the money to buy a membership card?”

"It was a gift from the barber. You can call him and ask. This card is guaranteed to be from a legitimate source."

After hearing Bai Miao's words, White's mother, not believing it, wiped the water off her hands and went to the landline in the living room. Just as she was about to dial the number on the membership card, the phone rang by itself.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"What? White can go back to school? That's great!"

After hanging up the phone, White's mother said to Bai Miao, "The principal just called and said you can go back to school tomorrow. He said Andy and the others pleaded for you, so you should thank them properly."

"I will."

Bai Miao nodded, pointed to the membership card, indicating that it hadn't been printed yet.

"Oh, look at my memory."

Only after hearing the barber's affirmative reply did White's mother put the membership card away with some surprise.

"I never expected you to have such a good relationship with the hairdresser. You also made some very good friends at school who were willing to plead for you."

White seemed to have suddenly become more determined, and his mother's expression seemed to soften.

"I'll make your favorite pasta tonight!"

White's mother couldn't contain her joy and hugged White and kissed him.

Bai Miao's face darkened. Did this mean he was going to have to eat noodles through his nostrils again?

On the first day of the new year, Bai Miao reluctantly went to school.

The skill I drew is repetitive swimming.

The swimming skill has reached LV2.

After entering the school, the scene of a few days ago, where there were only deformed and misshapen people, was no longer there.

After two days of fermentation, the reputation of White, this scourge, had spread among students, both in lower and upper grades.

The ability of one person to get a group of people to willingly lick up vomit in a culvert is something that not everyone can do.

Moreover, it seemed that they had known in advance that Bai Miao was returning to school today. The remaining bullies were waiting near Bai Miao's classroom early on. As soon as they saw Bai Miao, they ran over excitedly, saying that what happened before was a misunderstanding and that they were immature and were willing to apologize and make compensation.

Bai Miao looked at the remaining three people and recalled how they usually bullied White.

These people ruined White's gym clothes, and they also vandalized White's schoolbag.

These people were keen on destroying White's personal belongings, and especially liked to have White personally destroy their things.

"Do you have a cell phone?"

Bai Miao asked.
