I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Lin Yan walked from the office to the school gate holding an umbrella.

As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw a large group of people crowded together and traffic was jammed.

The school police were busy maintaining order at the gate. Today happened to be Saturday, and the gate was surrounded by students and parents who came to pick up their children.

Lin Yan leaned against the wall of the school gate, looking at the dense crowd of people, with the nagging voices around him getting louder and louder.

"Why is it still raining? It's so annoying. I'm going to miss lunch at home. If I had known, I should have gone back last night."

"Can't you see anyone? They've stepped on my shoes and made them dirty."

"Stop crowding!"

Lin Yan retreated continuously. Although her position was already very close to the edge, she didn't want to go to a crowded place. At this moment, she felt out of place standing at the edge.

Through the gaps in the crowd, she saw a sign hanging at the door saying "Leave in an orderly manner". She shook her head and lamented, as more people kept coming behind her.

The main reason is that there are too many vehicles. Some cars stop at the door without picking up the children and refuse to leave, causing the cars behind to be unable to move.

The traffic jam gradually worsened, and it was raining heavily. Lin Yan didn't want to be stuck here with them, she just wanted to go out and register. The last time she went out to see Wei Xi, the academy boss's spiritual sense lost track of her and she was so anxious that she was walking around in circles.

They didn't ask her where she was going that time, but Pei Qian reminded her that she should be careful.

Because of the preparation for the final exams, the college has notified that additional classes will be added starting next week until the end of the semester and the holiday will be extended by one month.

Lin Yan quietly moved to the corner and waited for an unknown amount of time. The crowd gradually thinned out, leaving only a few cars, and then he went to find the guard to register.

By scanning her identity information, teachers in the college can find out that she has gone out.

It was pouring rain outside, the temperature dropped, and the cold wind made Lin Yan sneeze.

She looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds. "It looks like the rain won't stop."

Lin Yan looked around and saw only a few students left.

The rain won't stop if we keep waiting, so let's use the flying leaf to leave.

The sound of a car horn came from the left, attracting Lin Yan's attention.

A black car slowed down and drove towards us.

Lin Yan turned around and glanced at the people standing behind him, but none of them showed any intention of coming over.

Is this car coming to me?

In order to avoid splashing water, the car owner drove very slowly. The students behind him should have seen the license plate, but they did not react, which proved that he was not there to pick them up.

The car stopped in front of Lin Yan.

The car window rolled down, and a hazy face peeked forward. "Classmate, do you want a ride? We have a great price."

Lin Yan saw the man's face clearly. He had delicate features, fair skin, and a handsome appearance. His eyebrows were slightly curved and he smiled gently.

Driving a taxi?

Lin Yan blinked. This was exactly what she needed. She walked over and asked, "How much does it cost to go to Duobao Street?"

He said, "35 silver coins."

1 gold coin = 100 silver coins.

"Deal." Lin Yan closed the umbrella without hesitation, opened the back door and got in.

It was cold outside, but I felt warm when I came in.

The driver drove away from the college.

Lin Yan put the wet umbrella under his feet and took out a tissue to wipe the rain off his body.

The man in front asked, "What song do you want to hear?"

"Uh...just put it wherever you want."

She had never listened to any songs. She usually practiced and studied, so she had no time to listen to music.

The man started a slow song.

"Classmate, where do you live on Duobao Street? I'll take you home later so you don't get wet."

"I don't live there, I just want to go shopping and buy some things." Lin Yan replied.

"Huh?" The man was slightly surprised. "There should be a small store selling daily necessities in the academy. Why are you out on a rainy day?"

Lin Yan replied, "It's cheaper outside and there's a wider variety of products. Of course I want to go out and have a look. What about the driver? Is he out here to earn some money to support the family?"

He was silent for a moment, "I guess so. I've awakened my useless attribute, so I can only do this kind of work."

Lin Yan propped up his chin and looked at him and said, "Me too, there's nothing wrong with doing this job. I don't rob or steal, and I can still support myself."

He was stunned for a moment, "You also awakened the useless attribute?"

"Well, you must be wondering why I can study in Nanheng. It's just luck." After Lin Yan finished speaking, he retracted his eyes and looked out the window.

"Good luck is also a kind of strength." He said, cutting to a song, "There's a famous store on Duobao Street, Jixiang Duobao Store. The products there are not expensive and the quality is pretty good."

"Thank you."

Twenty minutes later, Lin Yan leaned against the car window and gradually felt sleepy, but the car arrived soon and she was asked to get off before she could even close her eyes.

Lin Yan paid a gold coin and walked away in a daze. Right in front of her was the Jixiang Duobao Store. When she heard the word "store", she thought it was the small store in the corner of the street.

It turned out to be a building with more than ten floors.

There was a constant stream of customers coming in, even during thunderstorms.

Lin Yan walked in. She was wearing Nan Heng's clothes and attracted the attention of people around her as soon as she came in.

The clerk came up and greeted us warmly.

"Miss, what would you like to buy? We have this year's newest and most fashionable clothes here. Would you like me to take you up to the third floor to have a look?"

Lin Yan yawned, twisted his neck lazily, and looked at her: "I want a table, chairs, cabinets, clothes hangers, towels, buckets... and..."

She said a lot of unexpected things at once. At least when Lin Yan was wearing this school uniform, it was either jewelry, clothes, or spirit stones, weapons, and pills. It would never be associated with these miscellaneous things.

The clerk's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he still had a professional smile on his face, "There's more?"

"Posters, celebrity posters on the wall."

"Oh, yes." The clerk made a gesture of invitation. "We have what you want on the second floor. Please come this way."

Lin Yan followed her up to the second floor. She glanced around cautiously, then said to the clerk, "Sister, my stomach hurts a little. Where is your bathroom?"

"This way, I'll take you there."

"No need," Lin Yan immediately refused, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to her, "I've been having stomach problems lately, so I'll be gone for a long time. These are the things I need. Please prepare them for me, and I'll come back to take a look."

"Ok."

She agreed, and Lin Yan turned around and walked in the direction she said. He quickly found the toilet and entered an empty squat toilet. The moment he closed the door with his left hand, the secret talisman in his right hand was already attached to his body.

Lin Yan changed into a black sweatshirt, put on a black mask, and reappeared downstairs of Duobao Building.

She glanced at the building, turned and left, and went to a nearby shop to buy spirit stone pills.

I randomly visited a few stores and spent 70,000 yuan, leaving only 50,000 yuan in my wallet.

The expenses are high, but it will be soon before I enter the Tianluo Forest again, and I can earn it back then.

After Lin Yan finished shopping, he used the replacement talisman to return to the restroom of the Jixiang Duobao Building, tore off the secret talisman, snapped his fingers, changed back into Nan Heng's clothes and walked out. As soon as he reached the sink, he heard two girls talking.

"Dark-type humans have appeared in the city recently, and several of them have had their attributes stripped away."

"How terrifying! How did they get targeted by the Dark Element? We won't be next."

"I don't know. All kinds of people have been victimized, even children from junior colleges."

As they were talking, they looked at Lin Yan, "Nan Heng's student?"

Lin Yan asked, "Sister, you said that a student from the junior college had his attributes taken away by a dark-type human. Could you please tell me which college they are from?"

The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "Luoyin Academy."
