After switching jobs to Navelette, the school beauty turns out to be Funina!

Jiang Chen shrugged

"With a powerful backer to cling to and money to be made, only a fool wouldn't go. But..." He looked at Li Changfeng.

"Director Li, we have a small request."

"Tell me! Don't just say one, ten will do!"

Li Changfeng now only wants to bring these two precious kids back, especially Jiang Chen. His intuition tells him that this kid's potential is definitely more than just A-level.

"We're going to be assigned to the same dorm room," Jiang Chen said seriously.

"Cough cough cough!"

Li Changfeng, who was drinking water, almost choked to death, and the surrounding classmates let out a strange commotion.

Xia Qingyu's face instantly turned red to her ears. She pinched Jiang Chen's waist hard and whispered through gritted teeth.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! What are you saying in public?!"

Jiang Chen grimaced in pain, looking utterly aggrieved.

"I meant a suite! A suite! The kind for two people, so it's convenient for future team training. Can't you guys be a little more innocent?"

Li Changfeng wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Well... although the school generally separates male and female dormitories, we have a separate villa area for top-tier seeded players. So, as long as it doesn't affect your cultivation, the school generally doesn't interfere with your private life."

"Then it's settled." Jiang Chen snapped his fingers.

"make a deal."

Watching the two men chatting and laughing with Li Changfeng, the beer-bellied man finally realized that he had completely become a clown.

He slunk into the crowd, afraid that Jiang Chen would remember the bet he made about going back on his word.

……

In the evening, at a roadside food stall called "Old Street Barbecue" in Lin'an City.

The place is bustling with life, a mix of noisy voices and the sizzling sound of grilling meat.

Jiang Chen and Xia Qingyu sat at a small table in the corner, which was covered with skewers and two bottles of chilled soda.

If the boys at school who idolize Xia Qingyu were to see this, their hearts would probably break.

A dignified SSS-level God Throne representative is actually eating barbecue at a roadside stall?

"Hey, aren't you being a bit too flashy today?" Xia Qingyu took a bite of a lamb skewer, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster eating.

"58 seconds! The online forums are in an uproar, calling you a cheating maniac."

Jiang Chen slowly peeled a grilled prawn and placed the peeled prawn meat into Xia Qingyu's bowl.

"It's better to be high-profile. How can we deceive... no, how can we secure so many resources if we're not high-profile?"

"Besides, I hate trouble the most. If I show my strength all at once, it will save me from having some Tom, Dick, or Harry causing trouble later."

"But..." Xia Qingyu put down the lottery ticket with some worry.

"Are you sure your skills are okay? Director Li said you're consuming health points. Although your health bar doesn't seem to have moved, that kind of burst of power must be very taxing, right?"

"Why don't you just stay behind me from now on? The crab I summoned today is actually quite resilient."

Jiang Chen felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the girl's concerned eyes.

In this world where everyone is focused on self-interest, she is the only one who is genuinely worried about her health.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Chen smiled, picked up his soda, and clinked it against hers.

"By the way, how are your professional skills? Is there anything wrong with you?"

When this was mentioned, Xia Qingyu's expression became somewhat strange.

"Actually... it's quite strange." She hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"The three little guys that I summon with my summoning skill [Lonely Heart Salon] are very obedient, but I always feel like they seem... afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Xia Qingyu gestured with her fingers.

"When we were fighting the Wolf King today, as soon as you floated into the air, my crab immediately retreated into its shell, and the octopus also burrowed into the ground."

"Moreover... whenever you are by my side, my mental energy seems to recover much faster, and even my skill cooldowns are shortened."

Jiang Chen chuckled inwardly.

That's a must.

Navelette is a complete dragon, the ruler of the primordial womb, and the source of Fucarus's power also comes from her.

In a sense, he was Xia Qingyu's "power bank" and "suppressor".

"That means our horoscopes are compatible, we're a match made in heaven," Jiang Chen said shamelessly.

"Go to hell!" Xia Qingyu rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, the Imperial Academy notified us that we need to report in three days. Should we go and run a few more dungeons to level up in these three days?"

"I saw on the forum that everyone in the capital is a pervert, and I might get bullied if I go there."

"Leveling up is too tiring, forget it." Jiang Chen stretched.

"Our only task for these three days is to rest, go shopping, and eat and drink well. As for those so-called perverts..."

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"Hopefully their health bars are thick enough to withstand one of my water gun shots."

"You're bragging again!"

"That's called confidence! Cheers to us for getting this villa!"

"Cheers!"

The sound of glass bottles colliding is crisp and pleasant.

However, what neither of them knew was that while they were enjoying this rare moment of peace, in some dark corner of the city, several greedy eyes had already set their sights on them.

"Are you sure? That SSS-rank God Throne representative is at that barbecue stand?"

"Confirmed. And that kid named Jiang Chen is there too."

"Heh, A-rank water mages? Nothing to fear. Capture them and offer them to the High Priest. Divine blood... will surely satisfy that lord of the Abyss."

"Shall we do it?"

"No rush, wait until they're alone. These are two easy targets, especially that girl, I heard she's still a virgin...hehe."

From the shadows came a chilling chuckle.

......

Three days is neither a long nor a short time.

For the students of Lin'an No. 3 Middle School, who have just experienced the ups and downs of life, these three days are a festival with an abundance of topics to talk about.

Jiang Chen and Xia Qingyu's names have become almost a common phrase, and all sorts of rumors are flying around.

Some say that Jiang Chen is actually the illegitimate son of a reclusive family, and that his water-based profession is the result of bloodline modification.

Some people say that Xia Qingyu had actually awakened to her true potential long ago and had been pretending to be weak while secretly being strong.

There are even rumors that the Wolf King in the dungeon that day actually died from being overwhelmed by the couple's perfect match.

Regarding these rumors, Jiang Chen, the person involved, said: "They have a great imagination; I suggest they write a novel."

At this moment, Jiang Chen was sitting idly in the mall's rest area, carrying large and small bags in his hands.

Women's talent for shopping is indeed a passive skill, and one that doesn't consume mana.

"Jiang Chen! Look at this dress, what do you think?"

Xia Qingyu peeked out of the dressing room, wearing a light blue dress with layers of skirt that resembled ocean waves, perfectly outlining her slender waist and long legs.

With those heterochromatic eyes, she looked like an elf princess who had stepped out of the deep sea.
